- this is just a taxi. what you’re describing is a taxi. what are we doing here man.Replying to @hardeep_gambhirFirst day, I got out of the Airport and I saw the ‘Uber Zone’. Instead of booking an Uber and finding it, you simply book an Uber and go to the first car in the queue of cars, tell your PIN to the driver and off you go to your destination. No waiting time.
- big miscalculation on the admin’s part, “the floor is lava and the consequence is jail” is the kind of loony tunes engineering challenge MIT students salivate forVP of MIT grad union explaining that they are standing on a ladder because they have been banned from setting foot on campus
- public services shouldn’t need to be profitable
Did you know: The US Interstate Highway System has never been profitable in all the time it's been operating. It actually loses an enormous amount of money every year and can only exist because of massive government subsidy - is my code fast? no. but is it well documented? no. but does it work? also no.
Coming soon! In our effort to capitalize on emerging technology, & to maximize public safety in the subway system, you will soon see our newest rookie, officer K5, patrolling our transit system - offering you an additional layer of security & assistance.- Overheard in lab meeting: “we can’t build that, I don’t wanna end up on black mirror”
- The south isn’t republican, their voters are just suppressed, oftentimes explicitly. If you see this map and use it to justify feelings of moral superiority, while doing nothing to help dismantle it, you’re allowing yourself to be made complicit in the subjugation of black voters
- I had a physics elective in college where the professor basically went century by century and made us derive astronomical quantities using only information and techniques available to people of the day. size of the earth, distance to the sun, etc. one of the best classes ever.quick question without modern technology, how would you prove that the sun and moon have different sizes?
- Today during lab meeting one of the grad students (male) was talking about research that he’s working on with an undergrad (female). Whenever the guy made a point, my advisor would stop and ask the undergrad what her opinion was
- Replying to @eiioththe drivers get paid worse tho. the whole point was that rideshare apps skirt regulations and protections that drivers otherwise have. it’s cheaper primarily because it siphoned VC money for years without returning any real profit. I’m not sure I would call it a better system.
- that’s crazy. for almost a decade MIT’s course picker was run off a server in a closet in my frat that we built for fun. then a guy in my freshman class made something 10x better and so everyone switched to that. he graduated in 2.5 years and has been at Jane Street ever since.NYC's public college system paid Oracle ~$600M to build our course management portal. It's built on top of Oracle's PeopleSoft suite, which they refused to customize without an extra $400M (to hit $1B). New Yorkers got the image below and pay $5M+ / year for *hosting*.
