I see that it was confusing. > And minimum wage here, is really the bottom end of what would be considered middle class. Should be: > And minimum wage here, is really the bottom end of what would be considered middle class there.

I'm sorry, my wording was confusing and not clear enough. > And minimum wage here, is really the bottom end of what would be considered middle class. Should be: > And minimum wage here, is really the bottom end of what would be c

Are you objecting on the grounds that this speech is offensive to non-graduates or that it's generally not the case given the context? A test statement may be: A certain population is at the top of the IQ bell curve therefore they are

Thought the sample of college graduates vs. all 22 year olds are a little different. All babies will turn into all 22 year olds. Only some babies will turn into college graduates. Therefore some of a population, if selected artificially (i.

I'd add that rich is relative. I'm South African and I generally agree with this assertion but poor is defined as something that is really non-existant in the U.S. And minimum wage here, is really the bottom end of what would be c

Avoiding hard work because it is hard. Give up easily etc.

That's great. This has been my life, finding the easy wins, and when they stop working, moving on to the next. This is one of the points that characterize me as soft.

I'm sorry but this is a false analogy [1]. You're suggesting that something that doesn't happen (mechanical engineers + minecraft) is analogous to something that does happen (corporate programmers + code poetry). Are you then

I agree and that's not really what I'm saying. I think if you want to generalize (which is very rarely done in science) then the sample size has to be representative of your (general) population. Now we know that media (i.e. NYT)

And a very strong underpinning for your stance is that the origin of cancer, for instance, is yet to be found. And for the lay person I agree. The problem is that it isn't black (poison, electric shock) and white (broccoli). For the sa

> What little there is that is of worth ends up getting baked into laws and regulation, so again, I don't have to worry about it. (e.g. mercury is bad for you.) I largely agree that "nutrition science" does not have rigoro

I'd like to add that most high impact journals limit how much you can write which causes a lot of the complexity. If the science isn't good enough then it won't get published. And if it's too simple then by default it wo

Great iteration. I would argue that moving requires a lot more will power and induces more decision fatigue than just standing. I don't think a treadmill as a desk is a great solution.

That really depends on how detrimental the effects actually are and if "altering your work practices" can negate the effect then we probably shouldn't be quitting our jobs.

I think there's a difference between the fear you speak of and modesty. I can be modest and not have a fear of looking stupid. I just refrain from being stupid through modesty. When it matters I take risks and may be considered stupid,

Not an American, but living in the U.S. That quote is fairly eye opening. My culture is quite a bit more modest than the general American culture, to a degree that "confident" Americans are fairly annoying for not being modest. Th

They need to realize that eventually the market will drive their users elsewhere. Content is king and there is more content elsewhere. If you provide a worse user experience with the same content as another, then income will dwindle altoget
