Anyone can do it. I am saying it is better in Europe to do it than in high cost of living areas of USA. OP says 50 to 100k, so probably they live in high cost of living area.

OP says it’s the regions where child care costs 50 to 100k, so I am basing it on that.

If you want more than 2 kids it’s rarely feasible in USA, but not an issue for Europe. No kids, USA hands down. One kid, comparable. Two kids, Europe looks better but USA is still possible. Three kids, you need free childcare somewhere to m

Imagine if Germans or Japan claimed they want to be wealthiest country in the world again… That is how it feels to the rest of the world when they hear UK thinking they want to reclaim the top spot again.

Does Netherlands or Spain claim to want to be wealthiest again? Many countries used to be wealthiest, and are no longer. uk is the one of the few arrogant ones that keeps thinking they will make a come back.

“I think the UK can go back to being pretty much the richest country in the world per capita, at least as rich as the USA” said Matthew Clifford This sounds very arrogant and wishful thinking considering the trajectory of UK in the last 20

It’s assessed to show income is less than Y over X number of years. So reducing income right before going to Johns Hopkins would not normally qualify.

A appropriate difficulty level is where you understand enough of the book to enjoy it, but that there are parts that are just beyond your reach so you can grow.

It’s harder to fire people in Japan and Europe compared to USA. The downside is that it is extremely hard for new grads with no experience to get their first job in Japan and Europe compares to USA.

How young can infants go on bike in Netherlands? Are they literally biking home from hospital after birth?

Starting your own company can make your skills more scalable. The top artists like Taylor Swift have scalable careers mostly because they operate like a corporation.

If nba were set up as 1 on 1 rather than team sport (18 on 18), you would probably see more tennis-like dynamics.

by j7ake 2y ago
The nice thing about team sports is that a team needs support players as well as superstars. This means there’s a career for people who aren’t the best talent wise but are willing to contribute to the team in other ways.

Sad story to read. It is almost as if it is better to have failed out early than to spend your prime years trying to break it into the top 100. Classical music, art, poet, writers, pro athletes all fall into this category.

LMB hasn’t changed, but the world has changed. The strengths of LMB (molecular biology, structural biology) haven’t been yielding the same fruits as the old days.

Why do people think model 3 should be more expensive than a Camry? They are not even in the same class of vehicles, model 3 is closer to a Toyota Corolla than a Camry.

What’s interesting is that a lot of bio ML papers claim they can make new discoveries using their methods, but never actually make any new discoveries. Even high-end papers would stop at rediscovering some known biology rather than find som

As professionals though, you are paid by outcome not process. If plumber comes and works hard but doesn’t fix my problem, I won’t be praising them no matter how hard they worked. Process must be internally valued by a professional so they c

When kids are young, praise for process/effort rather than the outcome.

Here is Maxim Vengerov discussing about breathing in music in his masterclass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWDK5aUW4-Q&ab_channel=Maxim...

Any musician knows that controlling the breath controls the sound that comes out, even for non wind instruments like violin and piano. This suggests the breath is a connection between our emotional state to the outside world.

Even in academia, short consistent wins are needed to ensure your lab stays open. Heck even Andrew Wiles, someone who only needed pen and paper for research, had to publish papers during his 7 years working on Fermats last theorem.

Actually Norwegian food is mostly a thick slice of buttered bread and a thin slice of cheese or meat. If feeling luxurious, then maybe both meat and cheese on bread.

My analogy is that 1,2,3,4,5 is a unified script that allows anybody to understand writing. However, saying the words 1,2,3,4,5 will depend on your local language.

Yeah clearly. Most companies only want engineers to implement the companies ideas, but don’t actually care about high level ideas from those engineers. Imagine you are interviewing senior levels of engineer, like Guido van Rossum: in an ide

He’s a rector because he has a high H index. Nobody cares how you get to such an index unless you commit fraud. I think technically creating citing cartels is not breaking any research rules. Unethical but within the rules.
