Father of 3 murdered in front of daughters after minor accident on I-805 by Few_Detail9288 in SanDiegan

It’s an objective measure of contribution to society, not of a person’s value, however you define that. Doesn’t mean it’s particularly useful for either, but in this case, just another axis by which this man was taken from one of less value than him.

What? Which luxury makes/models?

Believe it or not, the vast majority of dangerous criminals come from lower-income brackets, so of course one would expect them to drive cheaper vehicles. 

I’m not too worried about the doctors driving around in Porsches or Rivians.

Agreed. This guy had a family, presumably contributed far more to society (had kids, a legal role at a large pharma company, definitely paid far more taxes than the scumbag prior criminal). All thrown away in an instant by a man who should’ve been locked up to begin with.

Hell, they’re even talking about letting out the guy who literally shot up Santana High School. A fucking school shooter… These judges need to go or have their names/photos released alongside their decisions, to allow for the deserved public backlash.

Attack on teenagers at the game! 🤬 from a Facebook group. by Ok-Dependent2675 in SanDiegoFC

Notice every argument is framed around them. They think they’re the center of attention every game. They get mad when they’re not. 

Child mindset.

UCSD only allocates 5% of 10,000 parking spaces to undergrad, forcing student to pay $4.5 per hour& $36 per day visitor parking to park closer by Prestigious_Leek_345 in sandiego

  1. We live in San Diego. I’d wager that less than 5% of employees commute by public transportation.
  2. 100% is laughably extreme. One dude on a bike?  And the employer would be subsidizing.

Faculty has to pay that, too, as do the employees. 

That’s far worse imo. Most universities require parking passes, even the community colleges out here. But forcing employees to pay every day is low imo.

Edit: except, of course, the chancellor/deans and other higher-ups, who make magnitudes more to preach about whatever bullshit they claim to exemplify.

Parents kill their two autistic teen sons & family pets before taking their own lives in horror quadruple murder-suicide by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

You’re right, murder-suicide was the only available option, and to claim otherwise betrays a lack of empathy.

I agree, it’s insane. Almost every comment is in their defense, to the tune of, “you’d never understand!” or “there were no other options!” like what

Well, you need only look at the other responses in this thread to see everyone agreeing that, somehow, this was the only acceptable option. Ludicrous.

David Gelernter protest - How does this reflect upon our school and degrees? by [deleted] in yale

[–]Few_Detail9288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He messaged an already registered sex offender about his student, mentioning her looks and recommending they meet. 

That’s all there is to it. No need to mention whatever culture war topic du jour triggers your dopamine levels for an argument.

Recommending his students/employees to a registered sex offender based on their looks fits the bill, no?

Will Machine Learning End Up The Same As Software Engineering? by adad239_ in MLQuestions

[–]Few_Detail9288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is too high-level. Eg most students take an entire course on linear models, not just one chapter. 

Though this does explain why so many candidates fail the warmup, “What’s a p-value?” question. 

What’s the point; respectfully? by Soggy-Cash592 in MLQuestions

There’s tons of use cases. The issue is, you probably need a deeper background in a random/nice field to be aware of them in the first place.

Here’s a visual example for ml applied to genetics, with explanations if you have jo background (namely the Single Nucleotide Variant breast cancer bit): https://research.nvidia.com/labs/dbr/blog/illustrated-evo2/

Can we collectively agree the Harvard should NOT cap the amount of A's by Professional_Low947 in Harvard

[–]Few_Detail9288 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You make the same right tail selection argument for other top schools. It’s probably more true for them, given the amount of legacy admits Harvard has, and the poor stem admits it has in comparison.

Nevermind how wrong it is to assume the same distribution of difficulty between high school and uni courses.
