  Originally: What are the main differences between a Masters and a PhD in computer science? Shared By  Vijay Chidambaram  @  https://www.quora.com/ The best answer I've seen to this question is by Prof.  Matthew Might  on his blog. Like many great answers, it uses pictures (taken from  The illustrated guide to a Ph.D. ): Imagine a circle that contains all of human knowledge: By the time you finish elementary school, you know a little: By the time you finish high school, you know a bit more: With a bachelor's degree, you gain a specialty: A master's degree deepens that specialty: Reading research papers takes you to the edge of human knowledge: Once you're at the boundary, you focus: You push at the boundary for a few years: Until one day, the boundary gives way: And, that dent you've made is called a Ph.D.: Extending this boundary of human knowledge gives you a number of other skills apart from the knowledge gained (as explained in  Vijay Chidamb...

“Family Achievements?”: How a College Degree Accumulates Wealth for Whites and Not For Blacks                            By: Tatjana Meschede, Joanna Taylor, Alexis Mann, and Thomas Shapiro  A college education has been linked to higher life-time earnings and better economic achievements, so the expectation would be that it is also linked to higher net wealth for everybody. However, recent analyses challenge this hypothesis and find that the expectation holds true for White college-educated households but not for Black college-educated households. To examine this finding further and investigate the role of family financial transfers in household net wealth, the authors perform a mixed-method study using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics for a 24-year period, 1989-2013, and qualitative data from the Institute on Assets and Social Policy Levering Mobility study. Their results confirm that White college-e...

  0    0   153  VIEWS In addition to income, gender, and racial inequality, there is a happiness gap. Let’s take a look The Happiness Gap The Survey In a recently published study, researchers looked at 44,198 participants’ answers to General Social Survey questions between 1972 and 2016. Their goal was to see if there was a connection between socioeconomic status (SES) and happiness for people over 30 years old. Selecting socioeconomic variables, they focused on income, education, and job prestige. Simplifying we can say that it all came down to whether people said they were “very happy, pretty happy, or not too happy?” The answers got a 1, 2, or 3 with 3 the most happy. Essentially though, there were three studies. Their first study combined everyone to see if the connection between happiness and SES changed over time. Then, based on race, Study #2 looked at the happiness gap between two groups of white adults and also at more and less affluent Black adult...

  Paul Kagame Once on Radio Rwanda:  "If our country ranks first in Africa, and the whole world is watching us today, it is not because we have the Vatican, the Kabba, the White House, the Elysee or the Taj Mahal here at home. No more because you have a certain Paul Kagame as Head of State, but rather because you have sons and daughters of Rwanda in this country. Men and especially young people and Rwandan women who have forgiven each other, and who have taken the destiny of their country in their hands, by the meaning of work, innovations and patriotism as key to their progress and development . What we are doing here in Rwanda is not a miracle, nor is it impossible elsewhere, it is simply the commitment of an entire nation, especially Rwandan youth and women, but also political will. Soon, we will have the best universities in the world in our country (NYU, Harvard, London School of Economics, MIT ...) We will also have the best hospitals in Rwanda. The intelligence and comp...

Life without the Fed: The Suffolk System TAGS   Free Markets Money and Banks U.S. History 01/05/2011 C.J. Maloney Suppose for a moment that Republican Congressman Ron Paul's fondest wish came true, and the Federal Reserve Bank was not only audited but closed down. As far-fetched as such a notion may seem, it would not be the first time in our nation's history that a central bank has been shuttered. For all the Fed's imposing grandeur, Ben Bernanke is running our third (albeit longest-running) try at a central bank. This country has lived without a central bank before and, if given the chance, could do so again. Most every American (led by Paul Krugman), though, would be horrified at the thought. There are certain functions that, due to their nature, many would argue can only be provided by the political authorities — police and fire protection are the prime examples that come to mind. To the majority of modern men, central banking is without any doubt...

(Richard Hutchings / Getty Images) BY Dr. Dambisa Moyo   Global Economist, Author, Investor in the Future, Marathon Runner Growth is imperative for fulfilling human demands and improving lives. Economically, growth promises to reduce poverty and raise living standards; politically, growth is the sine qua non for free markets, free people, and the rule of law; individually, growth is essential to allowing people to maximize their potential. But today, economic growth across the global economy is patchy and anemic. Most of the world’s largest and most strategically vital emerging nations — including Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, and Turkey — are only growing at 3 percent or less a year. This is far below the roughly 7 percent minimum needed to double per capita incomes from one generation to the next and consign poverty to history. Although there is some evidence that Europe emerged from recession in early 2017...
