He struggled to come up with the $300 a month he owed upon graduation. The first work he found after he left the University of Northern Colorado in 2011 — when the recession's effects were still palpable — was on-again, off-again hours at a factory, unloading trucks and constructing toy rockets on an assembly line.
yeah man student loans are a bummer and if you can't find a good job then life is rough
He then went back to school to pursue a master's degree in comparative literature
...ok now i am slightly less sympathetic towards this individual : 3

Adjusting to a new country, he admitted, has not been entirely easy.
"Some toilets here are holes in the ground you squat over," Haag said. Recently, he ate spoiled goat meat at a local restaurant and landed in the emergency room.
Still, he said, "I have a higher standard of living in a Third World country than I would in America, because of my student loans."

Age tends to give words a certain respectability, which may help explain why callipygian (which has been around since the early 19th century) is often viewed more favorably than the nearly-synonymous bootylicious (which has been around since the end of the 20th century).
This is an outstanding sentence.

on specific points i think the point about healthcare costs is wrong, and characterizing the upcoming pension crisis as a rich/poor battle is also not really right. poor people don't have pensions.

I think a lot of you would like this article about the Explainable Machine Learning Competition, which is a really fascinating thing to exist

We knew we probably would not win the competition that way, but there was a bigger point that we needed to make.
We can just build AI to explain what the inexplicable AI are doing! I'm sure we can trust Skynet anyway, no need to flip the lid.

Bring on the kung-fu amputees - no arms vs. no legs anyone? A bit of high-speed underground ninja-tunneling is always good as well. I wanna see some shit like that. Crazy monks with gnarly special powers can make any film good. FACT.

Something this article left out in its talk about human vs robot surgeon is that the human is a black box that's lying to you about why it does what it does
