Overnight Open Thread (9-12-2013)The Most Surprising Things About America, According To An Indian International Student In our day to day lives there are assumptions and expectations so deeply embedded in American society that we don't even recognize them as such - the cultural waters that we swim in without any awareness. So it's always interesting to hear the observations of a foreigner who's lived here long enough to get past the easy superficial observations but not so long that they've stopped noticing the water. And Aniruddh Chaturvedi who came from Mumbai to study computer science at Carnegie Mellon University and interned last summer in Silicon Valley is that guy. And in his view these are some of the most surprising things about the US:
and worst of all:
"Liberals pick and choose their discriminations. Financial, bureaucratic, and academic distinctions are acceptable, while natural and traditional ones are not. You can choose a Yale man over a Harvard man-the schools are a bit different, so their products may differ-but not a Yale man over a Yale woman. Engineers can earn more than janitors, and Chinese-Americans than the Scotch-Irish, but if schools discipline blacks more than whites, that is a gap that must be closed. If You'd Had a Good Day and Aren't Feeling Murderous, Don't Follow This Link And don't hover over it either. Yeah I know your tricks. Faces of Meth (and Leftist Politics) "At 50, everyone has the face he deserves." Can You Spot the Contradictions and Logic Gaps in This Video? The Unhappy Traveling Salesman Problem The classic Computer Science Travelling Salesman Problem is NP-style hard. And it's even harder when you have to worry whether the salesman is happy or not. People are also emotional, and it turns out an unhappy truck driver can be trouble. Modern routing models incorporate whether a truck driver is happy or not -- something he may not know about himself. How The Alien Chestbuster Worked Reviewing the Top Films of 1972 Holy shit. I am at a loss for words - this may be the most badass movie of all time. The action is relentless, gritty, and filmed with a flair of genius. This is a shining example of the Italian crime cinema genre known as poliziotteschi. But don't shy away because it's a foreign taste; this has the muscle to stand up to any American crime film. Just as the Spaghetti Western was Italy's answer to the American cowboy movie, the poliziotteschi is their answer to the American crime drama. Okay now I gotta track down and watch this oeuvre de badassery. The good news is that there's a torrent for it. The Professor is a Cheerleader Okay will be a professor once her thesis is done and she's tired of being a Titans cheerleader: Bimolecular doctoral candidates don't just try out and make professional cheerleading squads just because "they have extra time on their hands."
