If you have read the article you know it talks about how comparisons across income percentiles yield reductions in US life expectancy across every income level. It's not an isolated issue.

Oh yeah this is the other thing for sure. In my lab I didn't need a clearance for the work I was doing, but my boss had one and his later grants were going to require it. He asked me to come back and I declined because I didn't

I worked at Argonne as an intern, and then Idaho National Lab as an intern and then as a full time research associate for a further 18 months. The pace is definitely much slower, and in fact you'll find a lot of people just barely doin

I have considered that the political party most aligned with my beliefs has made mistakes which have exacerbated the issues in some cases. However, I believe the other party would make things worse in important ways. As far as my personal

This story is, in a nutshell, why me and my family have a plan to leave the US permanently within 2 years. We have a 4 year old and a 6 year old, and the possible futures we can see for ourselves and our children as they grow up are all dy

Yeah it's one of those things where it's not technically correct, but it's probably correct from the user's point of view. Customers of Increase will look a lot like a bank to an end user, but they'll be 2 layers r

Increase will have to partner with banks to provide the service, so you won't have to be an actual capitalized bank yourself, and you won't have to go find one. You can see in the fine print at the bottom of their page: "Ban

Expand the graph back to 1948, where it starts, and you'll see labor participation is higher now than it was from 1948-1984. So it's not that simple, unfortunately.

Draw that graph back further before 2006 and you'll see that labor participation was lower from 1948-1984, almost 40 years. It appears to have peaked between 1990 and 2008, but even today it's not quite as low as it was during a

It's funny because before I started here in Silicon Valley, I've periodically applied to many large companies that have traditional R&D. My experience in academic R&D at the DOE National Laboratories made me want to transition over

Just to counterbalance all the negative commenting going on in this thread, I think that this is a great step forward. This is setting the bar for future conferences in tech. As a community, we have a huge opportunity to bring in a new gen

Many of the most talented people in some previous generations were thinking up new ways to kill people, so you can consider that at least an improvement.

It's actually even more difficult than that. I participated in a UAV project in Idaho, and we had to secure airspace for the UAV, prove that if radio comms went down, the UAV would immediately go into a death spiral (to prevent it continui

Just as an alternative viewpoint, I worked at a DOE national laboratory on a big image processing system for the USAF, and we used C++, Python, and the PIL. Believe it or not PIL is really fast, in fact I tried to optimize the C and couldn
