Status seeking, being inherently zero-sum, is a pursuit that will only leave you unfulfilled in the end. In fact, I think the very fabric of human existence is predicated on this inequality that status emphasizes. As for myself, I try to fi

I have no experience being a dean. I do have experience being managed by one. I personally didn't see any correlation in their effectiveness and their popularity as a teacher. If you have any evidence stating there's a correlation

No, better tools simply makes the magnitude of the variations larger, it doesn't necessarily give you "better" outcomes.

How much influence do deans have at Stanford? I think she's a great teacher, but from my experience, your teaching ability is irrelevant when it comes to your responsibilities as Dean.

TLDR: Don't ask for irrelevant information. It helps you make a biased decision. Asking about hobbies needlessly introduces bias into your interview process. The hobby(ies) of candidates is completely irrelevant. One may respond saying

Couldn't they have easily just drawn the opposite conclusion? I don't see a strong connection between the article's contents and its conclusion.

I'm pretty clueless about the law, but I don't really see what case Uber has against her. How could they prove that she's the one that resulted in account deletions? Even if you suppose she's the one to blame, if what sh

I'm very curious, how long does it actually take to make captions? Seriously, the slowest it could be is probably the length of the actual lecture. Just pay some student $20 to do it. $20 for an hour of work. Am I missing something? ED

You will probably not get more money as a result of doing this. Know that going into it.

You really need to be able to articulate why you want to do it and then determine if it's really the best way to achieve that goal. For example, if you want to make more money, I would not do it. Period. However, if you want to be a pa

I see no point in an engagement where two people who are both benefiting from capitalism discuss its merits. My greater point could be that it is our benefiting from this capitalism that we have such privilege to be wasting time on such dis

Hmm, you make some good points. I accept that I may have not contributed to the conversation as much as I would like (though "contribution" wasn't really my intention, but your point stands). However, I will say that the latt

In my experience, people who criticize this article are probably benefiting from "capitalism" (the majority of people on here, I reckon, do), meanwhile those struggling from inequality, not being here, will fail to have their voic

I don't have access to the full paper, but I'm surprised to see that there's no definition of "ambitious." Is it ambitious to want to start a company or to want to raise children successfully? Perhaps women have a d

1. I would immediately file for unemployment in your area, if applicable. 2. Take one day and just relax. Have the most fun you can possibly have that doesn't damage your health or take anything more than a trivial amount of money. 3.

Forgive my ignorance, but could someone explain in layman's terms in which situation this would be helpful? E.g. if I have 1TB of data would I use this? If I have 1GB with a growth rate of 25GB/daily would I use this?

You don't need money to get out of the grind. The best way to win is not to play. Why exactly do you want more money? If you worked at a place that paid you 300k like Google or Facebook you'd likely just become even more dissatisf

I honestly don't even know what to say... 1. "Parents vote about the distribution of the startup positions for the next generation." What? 2. "Poor people should rather be angry about their parents than about the system.

This reasoning is flawed at best and malicious at worst. Anyone can do anything "if they wanted". So why don't they? Don't you see how ridiculous that sounds? It's as if people don't have a life and real obliga

Perhaps if everyone started from the same point this would be true. However, not only has everyone not started from the same point, there are forces -- those who already have money -- who are spending money in an effort to brainwash those

I wonder how much human potential we're wasting by putting "smart people" on a pedestal instead of having higher and better utilization of regular people. Regular people are far more capable than working at McDonalds, Walmart

Sorry, but unfortunately your conclusions are wrong. More Asian people in absolute numbers and in percentage get "computer and information science" degrees. In fact, the trend has been negative for blacks.[1] [1] https:/&#x2

Isn't the low cost solution just to ban cars or tax them ridiculously and install a network of buses, instead? Cars have terrible density, in theory and in practice.

Zero. If you need coffee you probably lack adequate sleep. That being said, coffee smells, and tastes delicious, so it can be nice to have one in the morning.

So you basically have no evidence to back up meaningless, unsubstantiated claims. You don't even support your statement: "affirmative action means women and minorities get preferential treatment during hiring." Guess the disc
