(1) You don't understand sarcasm. (2) For those of us who work for a living, brand matters. That's not my choice, it's the real world. (3) It's not a "waste of money" if it costs much less than going to a state

That's not true at all. Most state schools don't have that kind of money to hand out, and even if they did, tuition is less than half of the total annual cost.

I get your point, but Ivies (and other rich private schools) offer dramatically better financial aid to "middle class" students than most state schools do. E.g. most students who qualify for aid would take on less debt to attend S

That is such a confused spaghetti of arguments, I don't even know where to start. One thing is clear (to me, if not to Nate): people don't base their decision to attend Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, or UChicago based on popularity

I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you in touch with some founders you would like to meet? What do you hope to accomplish in person that you haven't been able to do online? What does "involved in the AI space" mea

For every person like you who is on HN and willing to do followup research and change their mind, there are at least a hundred who will accept the first thing they're told at face value. I mean, how could a Harvard Professor be a scamm

This guy, David Sinclair at Harvard, Marc T-L at Stanford ... disappointing but not entirely surprising that even in academia the spoils go to the scammers.

What's the "obvious reason"? The whole point of this article is .. [why] is Apple [secretly] paying to scrap phones in working condition, or that could be returned to working condition? This seems to contradict their stated e

For once, the Chinese bad guys are the good guys! (Environmentally speaking.) It does make you wonder what percentage of all recycling programs are just virtue-signaling.

I dislike these clickbait article, always lacking population statistics, that present some niche of a niche as "the new trend."

For those who haven't visited Japan, this is especially interesting because Japan has a strong bias away from digital and toward paper books (and cash, and other "physical goods") relative to comparably rich countries.

It does to me. E.g. in a US context, if someone's a Trump/MAGA voter, they're entitled to their views and I don't want to waste my limited time reading their political essay.

This isn't new news. For much more, read _Clean_ by James Hablin. I followed his advice; tried not showering for three weeks. Yes, I'm still single - why do you ask?

€87k in Luxembourg seems much lower, on a PPP basis, than €50k in Bangalore. Hard to believe this job is leveled the same. You wouldn't make this move for the annual saving in the short term, unless the company is going to pay for your

This is Al Jazeera. But since the war began, the Western media have indulged in some seriously wishful thinking about the impact of sanctions on Russia. They've fallen into the trap of giving their readers and watchers "what they

You might get more useful responses with a more descriptive title that includes "India" and summarizes the problem.

I'll miss that guy. I remember when we lived across the street, and I wanted to get a ride in the McLaren. Incest, sure, but I wouldn't have pegged him for an animal-porn-loving heroin addict. It just shows - you never really know

This is a big deal. I'm amazed we don't have even more disasters. I'm glad to see criminal charges, and hope other cities follow suit.

Unfortunately, global companies want more than physical plant - they want the entire set of reliable infrastructure; meanwhile, international employees want to move to a "livable" place that will also meet their social needs. Bit
