ivy league grads are 0.5% of the population and more than 12 percent of all Fortune 500 CEOs, 32 percent of all New York Times journalists, and 13 percent of the wealthiest 0.1 percent of the population. everyone assumes it's the teaching. it isn't. an economics professor at Dartmouth said he doesn't think there's a big difference between Ivy Plus professors and professors at other universities. i went to columbia. the headline professors mostly handed class off to TAs. everyone's second guess is the network. also wrong on the timing. salary gaps between ivy and non-ivy grads widen over the career, not at graduation, which is exactly when prestige should matter most. the real driver is the opportunity to learn how to succeed in an environment filled with the world's most talented and ambitious people. concentration of drive. you absorb the bar by sitting next to it.

Quick someone do the math on these numbers. Then tell me what incentives it creates from a qualitative perspective. I need all the pros and all the cons. I'm thinking about applying.

if you refuse to take the train between Greenwich Village and Williamsburg, and you expect someone to get you an Uber, like what you want is a sugar daddy not a boyfriend.

i also feel like these $300/mo gyms are a test to see who is a fucking idiot and who isnt. i even saw one for $900/mo

Been living in New York City for around five years now. Yes, it’s expensive, taxes are high, and there are some interesting characters walking around. Those are some of the costs. Here’s what we get: Access to the best restaurants in America, no matter what type of food you’re in the mood for. Everything our family needs is just a short walk away. You constantly get to see friends in person, as they’re always passing through. Some of the best public and private schools in America. The network you build here, just by going about your day-to-day life, is incredible. You run into some of the most interesting people doing the most amazing things at the highest level. Access to the best doctors in the world. The career opportunities here are immense, no matter what you do. Central Park – my go-to spot – never gets old. If you’re a shopper, there’s nowhere better in America. If you’re an entrepreneur, this city forces you to think bigger on a daily basis. Broadway, sports, concerts, comedy – the highest level of entertainment, right in your backyard. The subway. Yes, the subway – and yes, millions of normal people take it every day – gets you around this place like a time machine. It’s a wonderful place to raise kids. Every kids' activity you can think of is just blocks away. Our son loves the Natural History Museum, and endless playdates are available either in our building or within a three-minute walk. Maybe all those folks who can afford to live anywhere in the world but choose to raise their families here aren’t so crazy after all.

Most lawyers lack the skill of cross-examining witnesses

Domestic production accounts for about 0.1% of Britain’s tea supply. The majority of Britain’s tea is imported from Sub-Saharan Africa, with Kenya being the main supplier.

this map literally does not correspond to geographic reality and the only reason they made it is to cater to stupid people with sub-80 spatial IQ who don’t even pay for the subway
