Maybe it works if folks make a clear eyed appraisal of what the salient issues are. But once the biggest issues facing humanity were identified as AI or the sun exploding and not climate change and wealth inequality, it was game over

The barrier to sharing your running experiences on LetsRun.com are quite low and very few folks on the boards are hustling for money. On the other hand, it’s an godless cesspool that transforms it’s denizens into the worst versions of thems

I do feel like the necessary complexity of SQL maintenance and dependency patching was thrown under the rug here. But then again maybe the client completely firewalled development and operations

Serious question - why wouldn’t you search for the algorithm you need (or the problem statement) on Google scholar these days? I have the books but if I ever found myself reaching for them at work, I would consult most recent literature

The standards for ECON101 at Davidson are relatively high. It covers intro micro and macro in the same semester unlike most schools and just finishing the tests in time requires algebraic fluency (same for calculus skills in intermediate mi

The grading system is fairly meritocratic - essays are graded off syllabi and fixed points are deducted for wrong math answers. The girls and boys in a school are coming from the same cross-sections of society, so if the girls get better gr

It was refreshing that the researchers interviewed did not speculate reasons for the phenomenon. As a laymen though, I’m free to guess. I do think boys propensity to binge video games is a explanatory factor. Based off my experience, playin

The PhD to community leader pipeline nowadays is a lot smaller. Most of them now end up being adjunct professors or something. I’m not sure how much Latin and Church play into things (I did both growing up and it’s not much to write home ab

I like drinking but most of the time the two day anxiety rebound is not worth it. So I only drink at special events where I know it’ll be worth it

Are there any studies on the phenomenon? I like reading peoples stories but at the same time I’d be interested in seeing the data

I’ve read a few and there were some bangers for sure. His style seems to be to put forward these grand theories, which has its appeal, but I’m more interested in the empirical style these days

That is pretty decadent actually. Financials aside, I do believe frivolous activity like that creates a culture of unseriousness

If I were one of these managers I would be reluctant to take on the person because they’ve been designated as low performing already. Wouldn’t you just hold out for a stronger external candidate? Or is that the point?

Reading NextDoor completely disabused me of any notion that smaller government is better. It seems like everyone involved in local politics is an absolute crank. You can see this clearly in New Hampshire were the goofy libertarians who move

Know Your Your Enemy is fantastic. It feels like the only serious cultural analysis today is coming from thinkers pretty far to the left. Which is sad because that has not always been the case
