But what are the chances of the housing demand evaporating? In most cities where the housing bubble exists, it exists for a reason. The city is growing because all jobs are relocating to cities and universities located within these cities h

The reason the school employed a bunch of bleeding heart liberals is so the future politicians and thought leaders amongst those kids can later pretend they had a progressive upbringing. I would not be surprised if the school hires professi

It depends on the culture. I also live in western Europe and in my community even the literally illiterate shepherds that I grew up amongst, have their money in stocks and bonds or intermediary funds.

I understand your reasoning with regards to inflation. But what makes you so sure Bitcoin will keep going up? Yes it has gone up over the last 10 years. But 10 years is a relatively short time, and moreover this was a period during which al

if hypothetically one could ban cars from cities and only allow such low powered transport, it would be quite an efficient safe and clean form of transport

The fact that nobody can simply say, "here is what Bitcoin does, this is why the energy consumption is justified" is a strong indictment against the supposed value that Bitcoin brings. But, there is no legal mechanism that measure

Depends on what you mean by self driving cars. To me it is not even clear that driving assist tech will ever be advanced enough for cars to drive themselves reliably.* But that aside. Human in control + driving assists is already safer tha

So now the developing world will start using their energy to mine BTC instead of manufacturing goods for us to consume. Will this ultimately cause inflation then? Because demand for goods will not be met? This crypto experiment keeps yieldi

There was no grand conspiracy and no master architects of chaos. It was simply a meme that got out of hand. It started out as a sentiment, a set of ideas that I would call liberal chauvinism. Then anti-immigration got on board. Then the Tor

Scientific computing is not done in python. It is usually Fortran on C/C++ or Matlab (which I think uses Fortran libraries behind the scenes). Python is only used for the data manipulation part but not for the core simulation.

I'm a math grad student studying numerics and scientific computing actually. But I do not see a future in it as it does not seem to pay well and the relevant jobs are scarce. So it seems risky to get into it as a career when I can piv

Is scientific computing getting some revival with the advent of quantum computers? From what I could see the niche is relatively small and not well paid, with most jobs somehow tied to the public sector. Not sure how Julia factors into all

What you care for is immaterial. The goal of mitigating climate change is not to create a better world for you, but to provide a future for humanity. Thus, informed by such a goal it makes little sense to replace future generations with pe

It is also true of incomes which is mostly what I was talking about. Women strongly prefer men with higher earning potential than themselves, and this preference increases as financial incomes of women increase.[1] A society where women can

Women have different incentives. Having a career is not really necessary and the reasons to have one are different. Us men need to compete with each other to be the best providers. Women just need to pick one of us, and then their goal is

This won't sound very PC, but despite all the bullshit about equality, men need to be better than women. Women demand that men are better than women. If we are going to end up with a situation where women have higher income potentials
