It is not admin staff - overheads have generally been constant as a % of other expenses. The biggest components of cost escalation are MUCH higher spending on student services (3x at Princeton in the last 20 years), library expenses, and st

I think we've learned a lot about soil complexity since then and how hard soil is to create.

Also went to an ivy and found the "math for non-majors" to be pretty well taught & very manageable - although I did have pretty solid high school math. I did not have the same experience with my first physics for majors course

Just don't try to use cross document embedding (like putting an excel chart in a word doc) - that would blue screen my PC fairly reliably

Has YC ever published a full retrospective of the YC classes by cohort: for every class showing last company valuation or year of exit (M&A, acquihire, shutdown)?

Well it's not a myth - but it is relatively minor compared to - say fossil fuel based power generation. Methane output is well documented - about 1lb a day for dairy cows and about half that for beef cows - without mitigation from addi

Beyond Meat is a fairly big % of this and they had a bad Q1 (11% growth) but a good Q2 (30%+). I personally don't like the taste of Beyond Meat (although I find the Impossible Burger delicious - and tastes exactly like high quality mea

You don't have to resort to QAnon thinking about cabal's and secret clubs when institutional protection is plenty motivation all by itself (which is what happened in my school with a pedophile priest).

5.6% is the estimated historical incidence rate for pedophile priests in the US. 7% of Australian priests have face accusation - so incidence would be a little lower. The pope was reported as saying 2% - but the interview in which this happ
