@RichardHanania 1. What *is* a high class professional? Not one with prestige, so: one with a large salary?
2. What counts as failed here?

@MenasheZiv64867 @PovratakLokija @0xHeatt @RealKenOKeefe Right, David Duke (of all people) seems to have spread the nonsense that this was directed against Christianity. It's actually mockery of traditional or ethnocentric Jewish attitudes towards Christianity or the wider world. The crucifixion is there just to push extra buttons.

@MenasheZiv64867 @0xHeatt @RealKenOKeefe From the subtitles, it's clear that it is satire directed at Israelis themselves - in particular, at their taboos, obsession about "assimilation" and missionaries, etc. Framing it as a children's show is meant to show that that (Israeli) discourse is infantile.

@Maelstrom1974 @forcharliekirk1 Um, this is... a frank, honest and yet respectful comment from someone in the political antipodes?

@azulinhasaereas I urgently need help with a lost item.
I left a large dark blue jacket on flight AD8700 (31/08/2025, SDU–VCP).
I couldn’t resolve it via the chatbot.
Could you please connect me with Lost & Found at Viracopos?

@azulinhasaereas Preciso de ajuda urgente com um item perdido. Deixei um casaco no voo AD8700 (31/08/2025, SDU–VCP).
Não consigo resolver pelo chatbot.
Podem me ajudar a contatar Achados e Perdidos em Viracopos?

@woogawogga @RouskinLab That is a cheap excuse.

@TheRealKildare @RouskinLab Waitresses and truck drivers in the US would earn what hard-working waitresses and truck drivers do in Bolivia if it were not for those little differences in technological development. Debt is not being driven by science.

@AaronRDay @RouskinLab What a tenth-rate baboon.

[Harald Helfgott @HaraldHelfgott]

@JHochderffer @RouskinLab What an ignoramus.

@modestomontoya Modesto, te dije que con gusto iria a hablar por si fuera de alguna utilidad, pero que no queria nota de prensa ni mucha alharaca...

En verdad ir a Palacio resulta ser muy parecido a ir al dentista, por lo de las salitas de espera.

@catpoopburglar @NateSilver538 The SAT has been renormalized several times starting in 1995. Still, even accounting for that, 1400 was never very impressive, particularly for a native speaker.

[Harald Helfgott @HaraldHelfgott]

@CarlPham9000 @gorskon Actually, plenty of people getting PhDs in non-scientific disciplines get tuition covered (and also work as TAs, just like almost all science grad students). Medical students are the ones on loans.

[Harald Helfgott @HaraldHelfgott]

@trajan317 I do hope a solution can be found ASAP. The only privilege you are asking for is that to which every citizen has right - having the opportunity of getting an NSF postdoc - and one would think privileges for citizens are downright fashionable now.

[Harald Helfgott @HaraldHelfgott]

@trajan317 2. It's completely unclear that the program you were encouraged to apply to would be illegal under new rules (there was no demographic requirement for applicants).

NSF can decide to cut the program in the future, but the state should simply not leave people in the lurch.

[Harald Helfgott @HaraldHelfgott]

@squid_lyy @trajan317 5 research papers is not light for a masters or a PhD in pure mathematics. Of course what really matters is what is in them, but if anything 5 is on the high end.

[Harald Helfgott @HaraldHelfgott]

@jes5199 @slatestarcodex What *is* its name (in a few major traditions)? I'm actually curious.

[Harald Helfgott @HaraldHelfgott]

@slatestarcodex Why should 10% be a maximum? Why not 20% or some other maximum? I know, I know, it's not a competition, but I know of no religion that sets 10% as a *maximum*.

[Harald Helfgott @HaraldHelfgott]

@AverageSteveS @slatestarcodex Well, this shows that the key mistake consists in calling saving lives "generosity", as if it were supererogatory. The point in using tax dollars to save lives is not that that makes one generous.
