I'm pretty shocked by the lack of empathy here. Do any of these people railing against affirmative action really think that Native/African/Hispanic Americans should be locked in a self-reinforcing cycle of declining education

Lot of concepts here. 1) 0% may feel like a threshold, but it's not that quantitatively different from the sub 2% interest rate environment we've been living in for many years from a wealth generation standpoint. 2) Should you sto

I think it's possible for both of these to be true if you back off of the extreme positions. 1) Great developers are seldom looking for new jobs, but 2) There are a ton of inefficiencies in hiring that making finding great developers

That may meet your priorities and maybe even the band's but it most definitely does not meet Ticketmaster's in a world where they can offload all the tickets in 15 minutes and charge the maximum palatable fees with basically no va

Is it really that hard to forecast the amount of power residential PV generates? I'm pretty sure you could build a model that is pretty good just based on weather data, but failing that why not just put a single small PV panel on each

I agree that fragmentation is a problem, but don't understand why the solution to that problem should be smaller, fragmented libraries instead of larger, complete frameworks. Isn't that the same problem described in combining all

The title is linkbait, to be sure, but I think that in focusing on the hyperbolic linkbaiting, you miss the ultimate point of the article, which to me is to describe a growing cultural shift in relationships, which is having major social an

I would guess on a micro level the best thing you can do is recycle, reducing the amount of refuse that ends up in landfills and often times out at sea. A lot of it from coastal areas ends up in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and it'

If you think of kids as investments, which is a very apt analogy from the perspective of these universities, the question is whether you should try to build a VC portfolio (aiming to get a few ultra-successes) or a mutual fund (aiming to ge
