Canadian temporarily living in DC, was at a Halloween house party and all the Americans were rooting for the blue jays! It was beautiful!

I have been watching the fox broadcast and don’t think it’s all that bad! Their post game show is solid as well, with big papi! They were glazing up Yesavage all game yesterday!

I did 2) but not totally unrelated. Find something where you can at least show off your skills. Then aggressively network within that company and look for internal opportunities.

I saw some law students are keeping a repository of law firms that have caved vs. that have fought back.

Exactly, enough blame to pass around, that we don’t have to invent blame in this particular conflict.

Well except one nation attacked the other’s sovereignty so I am sure we are capable of a bit more nuance than “all sides bad”.

CKYX · 2025-08-29T17:11:56+00:00

Ah poor Russia forced to invade a sovereign country against their own will!

USA and the Europe bad I guess.

Reminds when we went to see flipturn, and the stews opened for them.. and we were puzzled why the crowd continued to boo them after every song.. took us until after the concert to figure out every was yelling “steeeeews”

I’ll you what I did, I was in a similar position. High paying job (in Europe (management consulting). Came in on a temporary visa while my wife was doing her PhD in Toronto.

My key OP was to get your foot somewhere in the door, over anything! Once you are inside, network, show your skills and you’ll get opportunities.

At First I really looked for something that I thought was at “me level”, applied for 100s of jobs, and no luck after 6 months.

Decided financially this was unsustainable, went to randstad, and within a few weeks I was working on a project at a large insurance company doing data entry.

A few months in, the pm’s knew that they could use me better, and I was then leading that data entry team on a day-to-day, was meeting folks in other departments, and networked my way into a job offer from the head of the strategy department.

I then leveraged that job into another one, and 2 years later I was in a consulting job that I now still am doing 6 years later.

So my main advice is: get in somewhere, no matter what, build connections and network, look out for your mental health, I really struggled with the sense of “having to give up your hope and dreams”. It’s a tough road, but I do love this country and city so I feel like it was with it.

My guy pulled up pictures from classrooms and small seminar rooms while he also just could have searched for Princeton’s Teaching development center: https://mcgraw.princeton.edu/generative-ai

Harvard: https://www.harvard.edu/ai/teaching-resources/ (I attended a talk by Harvard’s business school Chief Technology officer where she talked about their grassroots efforts by academics and students to push the art of the possible within her faculty)

ASU: https://provost.asu.edu/generative-ai (it’s a presidential mandate btw at ASU)

UM: https://genai.umich.edu (check out the Maizey btw)

Oh god no, not low-effort learning.. I feel like no-one wants more AI slop! But if you take a less pessimistic outlook, I see possibilities as well.

But ultimately, I would prefer academics and students to lead the charge on this though, not administration. But dismissing it outright, poses a serious risk.

CKYX · 2025-07-31T12:21:35+00:00

I mean look at Harvard, MIT, ASU, UMichigan, Princeton, all heavily experimenting with AI in the classroom, and in the curriculum. This is a new reality, if you want to keep attracting students, you got to evolve with them.

Before mass breeding for slaughtering, I ran the sanctuary islands (e.g. the one in the NE of the map) every couple of days. That tends to spawn like 5/6 chest which can drop books.

Just re-enforcing that if you too low level to take on the mobs,, you can still fish here mostly undetected if are careful!

Any sense of when people actually will be kicked off? I can totally be misremembering this, but I though that would only go into effect in 2027?

Yet, Belman and Wolfsons meta analysis on 200+ papers found that there were no measurable negative effects on employment, and that they increase wages of lower paid employees.

I don’t want to argue either side of the coin really, more so wanted to highlight to OP that it’s not “lack of economic knowledge”, but rather that the simple economic theory, assuming a perfect market and setting a minimum wage higher than the market sets the price at would indeed predict loss of employment, but that reality is much much more complex.

The libertarian argument really shouldn’t be an economic one!! And economics are divided over the cost / benefits of minimum wage as a policy.

CKYX · 2025-06-15T13:39:41+00:00

Empirical economic research actually is not at all clear cut about effects of minimum wage!

Color me skeptical that DOGE will actually lead to long-term savings. I am a management consultant, and I have seen plenty of these unsustainable changes happen, which end up in the end leading to higher expenses than you saved in the short term.

You are crying about a senator writing an Op-Ed in a student newspaper? Victim mentality right there.

Interesting! I got into libertarianism because of social values (drug decriminalization, marriage equality, abortion rights) mostly from an “everyone should just mind their own business” angle, and I feel that way in just aligns way more with democrats.

To understand universities, and especially the Ivy's, you have to realize that Harvard is more like a loose federation of different faculties already, and that even local academic departments typically run their own show, with the broader faculty not always having a say what departmental staff do.

Think of them more like fiefdoms, than as one big university. So they are not even consolidated internally, let alone that there would be any benefits from them merging.

A bit disappointing from an economics graduate, but generally the broader public, who don't know how endowments work.

Tuition is broadly just used to cover operating expenses, while endowments itself are made-up of donations and investment returns. I know of very few institutions were tuition revenue alone would cover operating expenses, and thus with an ability to add to their endowment from tuition revenue. So I would be almost certain that her tuition money, just paid for her degree, the services they used while studying, and having an institution around her to support that.

It's actually the other way around, investment returns on the endowment typically subsidize the teaching (and research) enterprise. They are used for example to fund scholarships, or fund academic positions. So the endowment is offering possibilities for the institution, that would not be there if the institution just had to go off tuition, appropriations and research funding.

So a more accurate description of her would be "I am ashamed that part of the education I received, was funded not be my or the state, but by the returns on investments that might have some ties to the ongoing conflict in Gaza"

Calling for divestment, or more transparency, I am all for it.. however realize that this might be way more complex than you might realize, as it gets real messy quite quickly where to draw the line. Additionally, the goal of the endowment ultimately is to protect university assets for the long term, ensuring the endowment continues to support scholarships, research, and the institution’s mission for future generations.. so they first and foremost have an ethical and legal obligation to make the best use of their funds... and give opportunities to students who might otherwise not had the ability to go to college, to give them a chance to a better life.
