I think you have the Central Park analogy backwards here. What Central Park provides (nature and openness) is scarce among what surrounds it (an incredibly urban and dense landscape). On the contrary, research institutions compose the major

Exactly. I don't understand why universities aren't willing to make an addendum to their charters to be both research and job-skills focused. I've yet to hear a good argument for why this can't be done. In my opinion, mo

Thank you for taking the time to write this - very well thought out and well reasoned. I don't think one can ignore the disconnect between the stated charter of top universities (basically to do research) and the motivations for the ma

This comment reeks of elitism. In my experience, new grads from top American universities are incredibly intelligent, but their community college and trade school counterparts score much higher on job preparedness, an incredibly marketable

Cool idea. This seems like a big caveat though, >> With today's traffic volumes, queues would vanish and travel delays would be cut to almost zero. I’m pretty sure it’s critical in traffic engineering to consider how the design w

I played for about two weeks starting early November then got bored and don’t play anymore. I wonder if this will be the case with most other players over time as well. Twice daily seems too much. Reminds me of when Who Wants To Be A Millio

True, and yet those are also only several movies of many tens of thousands. I don't think this debate would be resolved back and forth example for example. Instead, replace the OP's use of the word never with "only sometimes&

Could be, but a re-evaluation of my past harsh assumptions felt more constructive than further writing them off in my head as inept. I don’t know how many others are out there that I can say originated the idea for Facebook (at least in its

Agreed. One of my biases was to equate inability to execute on an idea but ultimately claim credit for its successful execution as ineptitude. Clearly this was an incorrect and unfair assumption.

Yup, totally agree. Probably also because there’s no written record of what was actually said or done in the majority of micro-events that help to define personalities and setup plot lines (eg the opening bar scene at Thirsty Scholar in The
