This says more about the author than about Tyson. He takes Tyson hostage as an unwitting totem for the 'uneducated intellectual' in order to stridently indict the scholar class that he clearly despises. The author also shoehorns T

It's mostly a mix of this and financial means in terms of explanatory power. HN seems to routinely forget that about 64% of Americans 25+ don't have anything beyond a high school degree. Since financial means also probably correla

Astute observation. The people are essentially being pacified with an ensemble of token gesture legislative palliatives and morale-sapping sedatives.

This is among the most naive comments in this thread. You clearly know very little about the about the history of military personnel, their credibility, and their political affiliations. You should look into Seal Team Six as an example. Som

I would just like to say that if anyone has a rational counterargument to this, I really want to hear it. This is precisely the observation past which the logic becomes less coherent in just about any conversation I've had on blockchai

Lots of good ideas here and I'm probably going to experiment with some of them as I more deliberately build out my own process. I have one major gripe that I think is worth pointing out: it may behoove you to be more selective in apply

There's no point. @dang's intervention had what may have been the intended effect (suppressing the comment). He's been doing this long enough to know precisely how the various moderation knobs he turns will distort the conver

I'd appreciate a response to my prior appeal. The only change I'm noticing is that you collapsed your own comment and my reply. The optics of how this has been handled seem a bit questionable to me.

Sorry. Fixed. Could you please reverse whatever mechanism artificially pushed this down the comment page now?

Asians are also 73% of Stuyvesant, rather like TJHS. Any purely merit-based educational institution in the US invariably skews in that direction. And, because Asians don't have the same political agency that Jews achieved many decades

Unfortunately, Huberman was frequently cut off and redirected, so he didn't get a chance to fully expound on his ideas. I wish Joe would have just given him the floor in that interview. He seems oblivious to the fact that his interview

This raises the rather provocative question of whether Stripe expects better retention in addition to lower labor costs by pushing talent out to less competitive locales.

This was really informative. Reflecting on it, it makes perfect sense to look for software economies of scale in content production with internal applications and platforms, especially as that becomes an increasingly key differentiator in t

Could you elaborate a bit on where the bulk of the technical effort is being applied at Netflix these days, aside from recommendations and improved scaling? From the point of view of the user, the product has seemed fairly static for the pa

I wonder if the OP is enrolled in an A/B test. While it's easy to see how this feature could boost CLV, you can just as easily see how the creepiness factor might increase churn. Or perhaps users have become inured to having their

First of all, everything is running remarkably smoothly given the circumstances. The Covid-19 statistics are largely a consequence of people acting individually out of self interest and ignorance, yielding negative systemic externalities, a

Labor compensation is a subset of compensation in the abstract (or, even more broadly, "return on time and capital"). Importantly, in most economies, it's typically set by employers hiring within an efficient labor market.

Your observations are coincidental and skewed by cognitive bias. A neurosurgeon is one obvious counterexample. The predominant determinant of labor compensation is substitutability.

That's a very cavalier attitude given how much of the consumer app ecosystem depends on ad revenue to survive. Having it drop precipitously over a very short span of time could trigger a chain reaction that might ultimately reduce the

This alludes to an important hidden economic downside of being remote: it's tantamount to stalling career progression in the long run.

That's far less true at the statistical margin of elite college admissions. You don't have to think very hard to see why.

This makes perfect sense. You would expect Asians to be a much higher percentage of UCB especially if it were truly race blind. For comparison, Stuyvesant High School (maybe the closest thing to a race-blind merit-based educational instit
