Another "not all curves are lines" example for @JSEllenberg: miles per gallon vs. gas savings. Upgrading a 12 mpg car to a 13 mpg car saves more gas (over N miles) than upgrading a 35 mpg car to a 45 mpg car! (because 1/12-1/13>1/35-1/45). mpgillusion.com/p/what-is-mpg-…

I just got a phony telephone call claiming to be my internet provider asking me for my password. I obliged, telling them it was the last 6 digits of pi.
This is under-appreciated advice and totally true.

WashPost takes a crack at an intriguing story: How animosity of House Republicans towards higher-ed shapes tax-cut bill wapo.st/2zTKy1R?tid=ss…
Why have Trump & the GOP declared war on education? Their tax bill: 1) Kills tax break for student loans 2) Raises taxes on grad students 3) Taxes employer tuition assistance 4) Taxes college endowments 5) Kills deduction when teachers buy school supplies. washingtonpost.com/news/grade-poi…
Under the House’s tax bill, tuition waivers for grad students will be taxed. For example, M.I.T. grad students would be responsible for paying taxes on an $80,000 annual salary, when they only earn $33,000 a year. nyti.ms/2AQfwW6
