this is definitely not true for any undergrad calc class worth its salt
Bryan Caplan@bryan_caplan
APs are getting easier, but they are still highly meritocratic compared to not just high school grades but college grades. Most students who get an A in a college class would be lucky to get a 3 on the corresponding AP.

Wow found out today that SFO has its own private security after one of my founders in SF said "What security issues? It took me 20 minutes today." SF is truly different lol

@dvassallo Look at Native American tribes with casino $ distributions that do this. The education absolutely does beat that head start.

Good private schools here cost $700K per child from kindergarten through high school. With 3 kids, that’s $2.1M. For a diploma.
Just give each kid $700K at 18. That’s a house, a business, or a fully funded retirement account. No chance these schools beat that kind of head start.

Private schools are the most expensive placebo in America. Nowhere else will you pay $250k+ for something that has so little impact on school achievement. My latest on why private school isn't worth the cost: ofdollarsanddata.com/why-private-sc…

@shakoistsLog @TheMindScourge One a month vs one every 2 months - I’m gonna be contrarian and attribute this to higher income people going out to restaurants when they splurge/celebrate for events vs ordering in
English
Good demonstration here of the “status theory” of the restaurant industry works in practice. What job is DoorDash really doing?
People at the higher end of the income ladder eat out more, especially at sit down restaurants. Those with less disposable income obviously can’t afford to do this as much, but clearly the underlying desire is still present
DoorDash is convenient, but convenience alone doesn’t explain why people earning less than $50,000 use it more than those earning over $200,00. I think it’s because what DoorDash is really doing is selling you on the sensation of having an entourage, of having people at your beck-and-call. Those higher up the salary ladder have this need met in other ways, at work and elsewhere. But people in the lowest salary deciles don’t. They’re the ones most often taking directions in the work environment. So DoorDash compensates for this, it gives you the sense of being relatively higher - socially - than others

@bungoman I didn’t really understand my debit card in high school so I’d occasionally overdraft but they’d always waive the fee when I indignantly insisted on closing the account

genuinely incredible. they take ur picture, send it to chatgpt and ask it to estimate calories, totally disregarding that this is essentially impossible, and they built this to a 30+ people company and got acquired? holy shit
Zach Yadegari@zach_yadegari
Cal AI has been acquired by MyFitnessPal 🚨 Henry and I started Cal AI as 17-year old high school students with one mission: make calorie tracking easier with AI. In just 18 months, we’ve helped millions of people lose millions of pounds. And we broke $50m in ARR along the way. We are at an incredible inflection point in history where ANYBODY can build a product that can improve lives and make millions. As founders, we get a lot of praise. The truth is that this would not have been possible without our incredible 30+ person team. We are so proud of what this team has accomplished, and are thankful to everyone that has been instrumental in Cal AI’s development and success. Cal AI will continue as a separate app from MyFitnessPal. The combined team will share resources to continue helping people achieve their fitness goals!
