I once knew a man whose last name was Einstein. I think he was friends with me only because I never asked him if he was related to Albert Einstein. I may have been the only person he ever met who decided to not ask!
And you know what? I could totally picture Bob Kraft making the same joke as Victor Kiam.
What do Lisa Olson and Iraqis have in common?
They've both seen Patriot missiles up close.
@pmddomingos This is also somewhat correct for most all universities in the US, just that the split is less even. A flagship state university will have fewer trust fund kids, for example.
Smaller schools have a fourth category: those with zero business being in higher education at all.
@TheChiefNerd Yes, either that or they’ve developed revolutionary AI tooling which would make them a fortune selling to other companies. Surely they’ll be promoting the tools they’ve produced shortly to the rest of the world. We won’t have to wait long.
@oxcrowx Yeah, sure. Consider, however, that most compiler writers until like ten years ago (maybe a little longer?) swore by it. It’s not like the book is presented here at random.
Guy's wife throws a cherished board game in the trash behind his back. Response from advice columnist is emasculating nonsense. I checked, copies of the game are on eBay for about $100. The internet should send every copy available to his bitch wife.

@GadSaad@Nature I am not sure how this would even work in the hard sciences? Open problems have well known lineages, you can’t just cite an alternative paper when a previous theorem or methodology is known to have been first established by someone who may or may not fit the current in group.
I call this podcast brain. I’ve been to dinners where everyone is just parroting anecdotes and ideas from the same 25 podcasts. Bit of an end-of-ostensibly-highbrow-monoculture secondary effect. Podcasts filled the vacuum and is a sort of new faux intellectualism (15 years ago it was discussing New Yorker articles).
@WilliamJConner@diegomayra@CohenSite You are almost close to getting it! You mentioned Pittsburgh. In the 80s and 90s it was an economic shithole with “no jobs”. Now it’s not and you are envious of people that live there. Are you able to figure out what happened in Pittsburgh? (hint: similar for other cities too!)
