@jerrrrrrryyyyy they aren't including household income as a control and there are lots of poor but high-achieving East Asians (South Asians who apply to elite schools are almost uniformly UMC or better)

Dumb question possibly but is there anything in an application that would actually distinguish East Asian from South Asian?
Werner Zagrebbi🇦🇿@zagrebbi

The famous SFFA case treated Indians and East Asians as a single group. This masked significant heterogeneity: It's way harder to get in if you're Indian! In Columbia's internal admissions database (h/t @cremieuxrecueil), East Asian applicants had a 41% lower odds of admission than equally qualified White applicants, whereas South Asian applicants had 63% lower odds.

@amaldorai I think that particular sentence construction evokes the median more than the mean (as opposed to “the average net worth of all Exeter alums is > 10MM”)

Basketball is my favorite sport. I'm sure height explains why basketball ==> football crossovers are more common. It is possible to add muscle but not height. NFL player with the athleticism to play in the NBA are way shorter than average NBA player. jokermag.com/average-height…
TG@TommyGunnNBA

Another L for the “football players could easily play in the NBA” crowd… We see some random average D1 basketball player get an NFL tryout/contract almost every offseason. The inverse never happens for college football -> NBA Any other takes are pure cope.

@sp6runderrated Zach Lavine, who won the greatest NBA dunk contest ever, had a running vertical of 41.5" at the NBA combine. that sounds impressive until you realize that 272 pound Myles Garrett had a 41" *standing* vertical at the NFL combine (3" higher than the NBA combine record)

@sp6runderrated there are virtually no basketball players who have the strength/speed required to play in the NFL. the archetypal modern NBA wing has great height, an enormous wingspan, and sub-5th percentile measurables for TE/WR in the NFL.

Obviously, it's still unprofessional and all, but it popped out to me reading the story that this guy was hired as an assistant professor of mathematics @ UChicago at 25? Bro why are you in politics at all??
Popstonox@Popstonox

Daniel Biss, candidate for IL-09 in tomorrow's election, has been accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student during his tenure as a professor at the University of Chicago Megan Wachspress, now a Stanford law lecturer, says she was that student

@nolightupstairs Probably not a tenure track role, or if it was he was informed, as one is, that he would not be getting tenure. Without tenure, academia is basically just a hobby.

> I encounter people 30+ IQ points lower than me every day WOWZERS!!! This is just one of those rare occasions where a Twitter Person informs us that their self-professed IQ is 130 This had never happened before!
Michael Druggan@Michael_Druggan

> Basically, unless you work in an exceptionally public facing role, adults will never encounter anybody with an IQ >15 points higher or lower than themselves. Totally false. I encounter people 30+ IQ points lower than me every day. On dating apps, at the gym, at concerts/festivals etc.. Plenty of places aren't IQ segregated.
