   > Salaries in large urban districts are often well above area median, and when accounting for benefits and pension, quite impressive. I'd disagree. Some anecdotal evidence - I'm from a HCOL suburban area with a nationally rank

   I'm a software dev as well, coming from a family of educators (dad, mom, brother, all three have taught at some point during their career or for an extended part of their career). The problem I think is that you're examining &#x27

   For pure cancer rates, no, it's still a relatively slow progressing disease and a cancer may grow more in the winter only to be diagnosed in the summer. I guess you could look at cancer growth rates during winter/summer, however w

   I had a hunch this would link me to The Incredibles. Great reference and I totally agree with the sentiment.

   I have a calendar reminder to read this speech every 3 months. It's one of the few reminders that I actually listen to and don't just ignore.

   Sample size of 1 here, but hopefully worth the read. I got food poisoning while abroad shortly after college, and took some shitty OTC antibiotics. I was low-grade sick for ~1 month, and when I came home I started developing IBS which got p

   This anecdote is misleading. TJ is a magnet school with a formal application process. Students study for years to get into TJ. Although many of their sports teams are excellent, students don't go to TJ for sports - they just happen to

   I would strongly recommend seeing a therapist. This is the exact kind of "thought pattern" that therapists are incredibly good at helping you sort through.

   I think this line of thinking fails to recognize what a general math background does for your critical thinking skills. I'm sure you and I both took plenty of math classes, and therefore we won't ever really know what our computer

    I would highly, highly recommend this long-form interview of Brandon Stanton - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/321-brandon-stanton-th... He has a really interesting story yet he rarely tells it - he's

    Entirely anecdotal, but a lot of professional endurance sports athletes / ultra distance athletes are also high performing PhD candidates/professors/academics. It's kind of weird - if you watch the documentary about the

    This may be an oversimplification, and I could be wrong, but the way I understand it is this: Relapse events are often triggered by an alternative mutation in the cancer. So let's say your skin cell becomes cancerous because gene 1111

    I disagree here. I strongly believe there's a market for a better social media app, that messaging apps are not hitting. Why? messaging apps (chat, discord, WhatsApp, Signal) are not really social media - they're organized differe

    I have a fondness of writing summary articles on to cap off a big work project (for instance, completing a database migration). A few of them get 'traction', but mainly I like the challenge of eloquently describing my problem&#x2F

    Reminds me of all the research/talk about the brains of London Taxi Drivers: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/the-bigge... I imagine something similar has happened to many/most people.

    To-do lists didn't work for me for a while, but I eventually figured out the secret for me . I kept dropping off on my usage, forgetting to write down my to-do's. They usually only worked when I was feeling motivated/inspire

    I left my job last April entirely due to compensation. It was also due to life balance, but I was willing to sacrifice some life balance in exchange for higher salary. I was working 60+ hours a week and on call three nights a week at a cons
