Also, I wouldn’t necessarily agree that AP exams are more difficult than the SAT subject tests. School curriculum is not uniform. In fact, in my high school the material for certain SAT subjects tests was _only_ taught in AP classes.

To clarify, I meant to say “along with”. I took the APs and their SAT subject equivalents

What’s the point in taking SAT Math 2, SAT Chem, and SAT Physics if you’re already sending scores for AP Calc/Stats/Comp Sci, AP Chem, and 3 different AP Physics lmao?

I actually feel silly now for having done that.

Exactly. I took all of the AP equivalents of the SAT2s senior year before starting at MIT. It seemed pointless. And my parents paid for each one.

Edit: I meant I took the SAT subject tests along with their AP equivalents.

I assumed the outages were caused by features lacking in the product, rather than the tech stack (e.g. not accounting for leap days if that were true).

I also assumed that the recent outage was due to not accounting for yesterday’s circuit breaker. I imagined there’s a Robinhood product manager with a JIRA ticket who’s complaining about their feature getting depriortized every month.

Trees are also a liability depending on their proximity to valuable things. They also block light.

I’m not so sure you can say this is just a “startup” problem.

Or you could have just found the site yourself and linked to it here like everyone else does.

OP: Paywall Link You: Here’s the non-paywall link.

Not that hard. And if you think about it, OP typed the answer “Ruby on Rails”. Would you have downvoted if he didn’t provide a source?

Ok. You know of Sally Ride but not Mae Jemison. Their work is equivalent.

You know of Watson and Crick, but not Rosalind Franklin. By you, I mean the general you.

They didn’t specially mention NASA in their comment. You know of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, but have you heard of Lewis Latimer? Probably not.

What does non-discrimination and political correctness have to do with the white Americans that were evacuated from Wuhan lmao? And the ones that returned from China in general? Or for that matter, American citizens in general?

Also, the U.S. has banned flights to/from certain countries during certain times.

Yeah, sure. We’re talking about Elon Musk though... And whether it’s fine to say “you go do what Elon did.” It’s more realistic to say “you go do what the flappy bird guy did”. You fanboys are hilarious.

So you mean in the United States or some other developed country? Ok. I know you already understood what I was saying. I’m not going to argue.
