You're thinking about this from the perspective of a developer, rather than the population at large. Suggest building a spreadsheet to one of your non-technical friends or family for something like this and you'll get a blank star

I have no idea about the course and its ability to reproduce your success, but just wanted to say I found your marketing copy and site to be excellent. I wasn't particularly interested at first but found myself reading and scrolling qu

With all due respect, I think you're reading something into my comment that simply isn't there. Perhaps I should have denoted 'formal education', because the OP is educated, just not formally. The only thing I meant (bey

While I think you make excellent points, I believe that impostor syndrome is actually quite common, if not moreso, amongst the highly educated.

OP doesn't mean "wasting time" by doing nothing on the train. They mean the time you could have spent doing anything else by getting to your destination faster vs. extra time spent on the train.

> For example, I think in India a woman can finish medical school at age 23, whereas in the U.S. it would be age 26 Do they emerge with the same level of training & experience? Difficult to do an apples-to-apples comparison.

I would imagine it's something you want to access semi-frequently and would be easier to reach at the bottom (with you thumb) than at the top. Just a guess.

Exactly. Tesla drivers will be older, more affluent, and I bet, generally safer drivers. I'm sure an insurance company could easily debunk those statistics.

I'm curious how you define top-tier in this situation, especially tech-centric. I agree the U.S. has more "top" institutions from a reputation standpoint (partially due to us living in a US-centric western world), but they ar

I partly agree, but it's also a bit of a cop out, to be honest. Anyone who has been in such an anonymous chat environment (game or otherwise) and has dished out such abuse has undoubtedly received it too and know how it feels. They do

In fairness, The Walrus is primarily aimed at a Canadian audience.

There is no secret. Successful freelancing doesn't (typically) happen from behind your computer, you need to get out and talk to people that already know & trust you or, if there aren't enough of those, you need to build that

What about passing on an income generating asset (real estate, dividend portfolio) to children?

I can totally relate to your feeling. I became a father about 4 years ago and all of a sudden stories like this one, or a sick child, took on extra meaning. I either couldn't read them or I did and it would touch me deeply and affect m

"I was gonna write a world changing poem, and thank goodness I'm young and will make $ off of it for decades" That's a perfectly fine motivation, from my point of view, but I'm contrasting it against yours, because

True, but the difference would be significantly smaller than the proposal to have copyright end with death of the creator.

Legacy and providing for your offspring is a huge motivation for many people. It's interwoven through all aspects of our society. Why should it be ignored here? To say it's not a "strong" motivation for older people miss

It's there to incentivize. If you acknowledge that copyright exists to incentivize a 20-year old with possible monetary gains, then what incentivizes a 60 or 70 year old to create? Why should they be incentivized less?

I run a sole prop in Canada too. I agree for the most part, but I think the "more taxes" aspect would be very situationally-dependent. Perhaps if you intend to flow all of the corporations earnings through as income immediately th

Couple of points: (1) median would be more insightful in this context than average and (2) neither do a great job of describing a range of situations like the term "middle class" does. Your point could be changed to "a family

by kohanz 9y ago
This comes entirely down to how you define "middle class" and IMHO it's far too broad of a group to make sweeping statements on what they can and cannot afford. A family with 50k income total might be considered middle class

I can't be the only one who finds it far more disturbing that the average child watches nearly 3 hours of TV per day.

by kohanz 9y ago
But you are given the option. I bet the app also stores timestamps along with the posts - should that be off by default as well because some are uncomfortable with divulging when they created their note?

It's a bit of a stretch (or at best a gross over-simplification) to exclusively group the concepts of religion/spirituality with love such that anyone who is not religious/spiritual must only care about "materialism&quot

I mean trying a nonconventional means of improving was the only thing in the article that made some sort of sense, since traditional methods of chess training would have certainly given him zero hope. Not that the ML method sounds remotely
