That stood out to me too. For all the self-appointed power that higher education institutions have given themselves to balance the proverbial scales of justice, I wonder if they ever take the time to consider the moral hazards of their deci

Disagree. I think calling this exchange “pretty insightful” is self-congratulatory, and the supposed insight speculative and conclusory. Generational reductionism aside, one has only to browse a few online forums dedicated to pre-med studie

I think law students and lawyers are nerds of a sort. We like disagreeable people like a blade enjoys a whetstone. Abrasive, sure, but helpful in honing our skills and ideas even if it demands care and persistence. With the self-awareness t

This is a joke shared with me in Cambridge: The difference between the ivies and the others is that the dumbest person at an ivy may well be its richest. Make of that what you will.

Seems like I’ve ruffled a few feathers and ended up -2 on my previous comment here, not clear what rule I violated but that’s beside the point. I have a suggestion: take these findings and send them to your direct report and their direct re

Seems like you have a responsibility to yourself and your team to bring this up with the appropriate party and go farther if need-be. Proactive feedback is more useful than passive resentment.

Before I proceed, I’d like your prespective on the following: 1) Does industrial activity reliant on fossil fuels contribute significantly to climate change? 2) Does engagement-first online political content curation contribute to political

Absolutely. Grandparent commentor has some odd notions about what constitutes a legitimate versus illegitimate narrative device, and what constitutes “dramatic sense of danger.” They mentioned it as an “aesthetic” choice on the part of the

“Modern economists” aren’t really a thing, at least in the sense that a consensus or collective understanding of economics is shared by a group denominated as such. There is vigorous disagreement in the field regarding just about everything

Appreciated, but this is the first sentence in your citation: > We examined the content of anime fan stereotypes in a sample of non-fans (N = 146). Self-identified non-fans of anime wrote about a prototypical anime fan and rated th

> But that's not because of the "poverty is worse" You seem to have quoted someone somewhere concerning “poverty is worse.” I’m not finding it in my text. Did you mean to reply elsewhere?

Not quite. I work in immigration law pro bono and this perspective is outdated (though largely accurate of the 20th century, for what it’s worth). The lack of social safety net, decline of publicly accessible assistance in healthcare and ed

Saw this for the first time as a teenager working in the service industry too. My restaurant was a little mom-and-pop run by a couple who would knowingly violate employment law by hiring undocumented workers for back-of-house roles, and wou

Agreed on virtually all points. Based on my research this is a bald misappropriation of copyrighted material that is likely to persist due to the fact that the jurisdiction that these individuals operate-from is largely outside the practica

They’re not all actually students. Based on a simple google search and the information that one of the co-founders posted here, they’ve already graduated and this is their way of “getting out” of the debt they already have, not will have to

A note on some of the comments you’ve left elsewhere: “open source” is not an intellectual property designation recognized in United States copyright law, and will not constitute an affirmative defense in the event you are sued for intellec

Maybe it’s just me, but it feels superficial. The comment doesn’t engage at all with the substance of the article, and instead focuses on an orthogonal observation about a writing flourish that doesn’t appear anywhere in the article again.

Not sure if it is. The article has a pretty good body of real-world evidence of the supposed curve, and I’ve personally had a colleague let-go because of the information gathered through “bossware.”

5th grade education for my children has one 45-minute “play” recess (which doesn’t involve direct teacher instruction) and one 1-hour Physical Education class lead by a gym teacher. The rest of their day 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM is composed of mat

Agreed. It was hard seeing a professor whom I admired slowly transform over the course of the last ten years into a conspiracy theorist and alt-right content propagandist. He used to reliably offer the on-the-other-hand perspective, but kne

The naive reader’s expectation of conformity to dramatic structure is an expectation that plenty of authors have played with, for reasons including stylistic effect, subtext, and for fun. It’s not a flaw, bug, feature, or other arbitrary an

I mean, not really. Philosophical and legal texts are particularly emulateable because of their logically necessary formulaic structures and conventions. And in any case, this was a test of mimicry, not of creation so your conclusion is a b

Agree to disagree. Systems that frustrate the accumulation and concentration of power seem to be integral to a functional society, nevermind a prosperous one, historically speaking. “Convenience, less human hours wasted on boring stuff” is

Noteworthy exclusion of religious, philosophical, historical, or fictional texts. In some sense, much of human wisdom. What is the selection criteria and why are the ten current selections particularly relevant to 25-or-so year olds?
