I get what you're saying but A) I don't see how they can bring them back after this and B) doesn't the same argument about other application dimensions just extend to the effects of coronavirus? I would imagine richer student

I think it depends on the school how important this is, I kind of doubt Harvard needs to raise awareness. But there are other benefits of sports that will also depend on the particular school. One factor that comes to mind is location- Notr

That is true but I will also note that Facebook Messenger died for me across devices (even on the browser regular Facebook was fine but my messages would not load), and the email discussion I've seen largely says something similar- onl

That's definitely possible, I don't know enough about the history, but now that there is a lot of established sprawl it does have a causal effect in discouraging public transit. Also, in the context of comparing to other countries

Not really your main point but there are quite a few US "metro areas" with fairly sparse layout/wide scope, so I think public transit actually is a harder problem in the US than it is in e.g. Europe. That said even the cities

I'm not sure laziness is the main factor here though. I suppose it depends where you are ordering from, but I enjoy picking up from restaurants still largely because I enjoy the food and would not be able to recreate it. In some cases

Skype absolutely wrecks my MacBook, not sure if the experience is similar on other laptops but I can't even open a PDF while on a Skype call. It would be impossible for me to give a presentation over Skype with my current setup. The so

Not to mention the majority of professors would be considered at least moderate risk. Maybe I just had a particularly good experience but I got to interact with a number of profs quite a bit during undergrad. Paying for in-person with only

I think you're overstating how easy it is to discount for wealth in those other scenarios. At least when it comes to high school research experience, it has rarely been the case IME that a student got such a position directly because o

Hair cells don't actually have anything to do with hair. Not sure why you are being downvoted though, the name is a bit confusing. Jim Hudspeth gives a great talk about the neuroscience of hearing (haven't watched this video but s

New York has far more deaths per capita, it makes no sense for their % positive numbers to fall in line with New York. It is similarly inconsistent with recent numbers out of Spain/Madrid, which was hit quite hard and is still floating

I didn't read the actual publication but based on this article I think what they are essentially saying is that the cells were still functioning in the context of basic cell operation, but were no longer functioning as neurons. In whic

It's definitely more expensive than most delivery apps, but idt it is even because of the delivery fee, which usually appears reasonable. They kill you on the percentage based service charge. Which is maybe trying to makeup for differe

Not sure how DoorDash compares but what often made me pause on ordering UberEats pre-pandemic was the way they do the service charge. It is a percentage (I believe 15%?) of the cost of what you are ordering, and it does not appear to go to

This was definitely a thing pre-Madoff even, my dad had to do this for two weeks every year as a foreign exchange trader.

You can't totally protect people of course, but there is also a difference between allowing people to watch only Fox News or only MSNBC, and having a content aggregator/search engine that silently shifts towards showing you only c

Too much local filtering can end up really polarizing people though. You can slowly (soft) censor the news yourself just based on what you click on, and not necessarily realize that you are getting increasingly biased information. Perhaps t

Thanks for sharing, I've never played Bloodbowl but heard about it a few times now, will have to look into this! (I honestly don't know enough about soccer to know how much positional variation or asymmetric skills matter. I assum

I'd be interested in seeing something like this where each individual player has skill levels for different actions, varying across both positions and teams. Not sure how to make the competition fully fair then (perhaps a sum skill lev

I don't know much about this football so it is probably way more nuanced than I'm giving it credit for, but I'm actually disappointed this is not about American Football. I think it is an interesting problem in that there is

I am definitely on the lockdown side of things, and I think NYC especially bungled their response, but I also don't think this is a fair comparison- NYC is so much more densely packed.

Just because they are counting probable deaths does not mean they aren't also undercounting the true deaths. Given the rate of testing confirmed is clearly << true, so I don't see why there is so much objection to using some

Because it becomes 10x or so more deadly when proper care is not available, as is happening in areas where too many people have it at once. Letting this run wild would cripple hospitals. Many NYC area hospitals are already out of ventilator

Hallucinations are much more commonly auditory in Scz, and often language based (deaf Schizophrenic people report hallucinating disembodied hands doing sign language). If it is a real effect it could possibly have the opposite explanation-

They also used the 2 in 10,000 figure when picking out the comparison syndromes. I believe Retts is ~1 in 10,000. It's definitely not 1 in a million.

I would guess students that are more interested in pure math are a minority though. I definitely don't think this group should be ignored, but perhaps the core classes could be more "practical" while still offering advanced p

Harvard (and similar schools) give very generous aid, not to mention that one can easily transition to consulting or similar no matter their major if they came from Harvard. The considerations for Ivy+ schools are not the same as the consid

Additionally, you have to be careful how the rankings source the salary number. Obviously distribution of majors at different schools is a big factor, but on top of that many rankings look at earnings within 5 years of graduation. If your p

Yeah but the truly elite private schools are pretty good at aid, I think it's the "borderline" elites where one would end up with substantially more debt than staying in state (on average anyway). I don't have any data b

Yet the originals they do hit on they hesitate to pay for once they get big. Why they axed BoJack and seem to have driven Bob-Waksberg to Amazon is beyond me. This was the first show I cared about to get that treatment but I've certain
