I don't really see you making any arguments here. * Her letter tries to influence the students she had authority over as her position as associate master. It was implicitly co-signed by her husband, the master. The letter was only sent

You're selectively quoting the sensible lead up in the e-mail. The question whether student should be their own agent isn't relevant, since the first e-mail doesn't prevent them from being that. Rather it asks people to refle

I just have no idea how he though publishing this rant wouldn't undermine his position as Master, especially since his wife is the Associate Master. The answer is he probably didn't think, which doesn't exactly work in his fa

I don't really see it. Yes, affluent people are the one that can afford to "whine". That's because you need a certain level of independence and education to be able to represent a position. Women have been "nice&quo

You're not talking about the issues, but offering some questions that I'm supposed answer while you don't participate and I get rewarded by downvotes. That the faculty offers guidance doesn't seem to be much of an issue

It's not necessarily that it lacks what happened (or at least what the author says happened), but that it's hidden under rhetorical fluff and opinion. The author spends his time coming up with adjectives rather than explaining why

How does this not apply to article and most of the comments to this page? The way to differentiate an unfounded opinion from a qualified one is to examine it's arguments. That requires a level of quality that neither the article, which

Because you are at an information disadvantage. I know if my floor is slippery, the smoke detector has a battery in it, if there has been a burning smell from the fridge or the fuses have been tripping.

Uhm. I'm not sure that is entirely correct. The city proper of Stockholm is very dense, often comparable to Paris. While not as uniformly dense there is higher building often six to eight floors, compared to the usual five in Paris [0,

We do get some verity as a consequence of the long tail. Even though it's not totally independent, people do make a living on e.g. YouTube. While we can say that people have been naive and that fears over things like Microsoft's m

I think his "objection" is similar to mine in that technology supposedly promises that everyone can be a producer, but instead we are getting even more centralization. We see the same thing in technology, were instead of open stan

I guess by publicly announcing that they paid ransom that "didn't work" they have slightly undermined the trust for ransom as a solution in cases like this. So it might be correct from a game theory perspective, if you disreg

Sure. I'm not saying it's a bad deal, just that it supports what the NYT article is saying and that the anecdote would therefor be relevant. > Within Silicon Valley, Andreessen Horowitz is famous for bidding valuations to heigh

I just don't see how that invalidates the anecdote. Because if you're investing "$100 million in a $1 billion company" you're probably aren't expecting a 20x return, not to mention a greater one. So that would

While I see why you think "Because it's their choice." isn't very helpful, I would say there some truth to it. People in technology seem far more willing to accept to accept "worse" conditions and just generall

It's also a very strange anecdote since the NYT articles primary point is that A16Z are pushing up valuations so deals like the one Peter Thiel made are no longer possible. Quoted in this blog post from the NYT article: "It’s easi

You keep missing the point. Women traditionally worked low paying jobs, like housekeeper or nanny. The increased participation of women in the workforce mean that women now work higher paying jobs. It does not mean that that someone has got

Because the primary increase in median salary for women are their increased participation in the workforce and not actually higher salary? If you look at median real income per hour you find a similar results as men.

That's average income. Look at the median income for men and things look less exciting. Then add the increase in tuition fees and housing cost in urban areas. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aTB7SNmJgkY/UCPmRNHaUxI/

I just not sure how much choice you can afford when going up against a state actor. I would say spreading the "blame" and being a public figure was quite crucial to increasing the odds of success and providnig less incentive for t
