2018-11-13 06:19:40 UTC  

@Jacob for someone looking for more risk, Elastic Search just went public

2018-11-13 06:19:44 UTC  

Why do you change your name every day?

2018-11-13 06:19:50 UTC  

Whom?

2018-11-13 06:20:05 UTC  

Elastic search is a high risk stock now, just IPO'd

2018-11-13 06:20:23 UTC  

But probably a good future

2018-11-13 06:20:24 UTC  

now she's telling me about how my cousin is trying to go to MIT

2018-11-13 06:20:34 UTC  

interesting

2018-11-13 06:20:41 UTC  

@Jacob lots of people *try* to go to MIT

2018-11-13 06:20:57 UTC  

that guy has an insane resume

2018-11-13 06:21:15 UTC  

Insane resume plus perfect SAT score?

2018-11-13 06:21:27 UTC  

well uh

2018-11-13 06:21:42 UTC  

he never lived in the US so no SAT

2018-11-13 06:21:45 UTC  

There's actually calculators online now where you can put in your attributes and see your acceptance chance

2018-11-13 06:21:52 UTC  

but ya he would do well on the SAT

2018-11-13 06:22:13 UTC  

@Jacob for undergrad he will need an SAT or ACT

2018-11-13 06:22:21 UTC  

Perfect score on either

2018-11-13 06:22:30 UTC  

oh he's trying to get a PhD

2018-11-13 06:23:18 UTC  

@Jacob perfect GREs I expect? That's kind of a bare minimum for any top 20 grad school

2018-11-13 06:23:24 UTC  

my mom doesn't know the difference between bachelor's and master's so she's having trouble explaining lol

2018-11-13 06:23:28 UTC  

The specialized GRE for his discipline I mean

2018-11-13 06:23:29 UTC  

@ThisIsChris @Nemets It depends on which era were talking about. The early Roman empire was both very centralized in somethings and very decentralized in others.

2018-11-13 06:23:37 UTC  

@ThisIsChris idk probably

2018-11-13 06:24:16 UTC  

@Jacob yeah it's easier to get a perfect GRE score if you did that major. Easier than getting a perfect SAT schore

2018-11-13 06:24:29 UTC  

Tax collection was decentralized at first, the Emperor would essentially deputize tax collectors to tax a province with little oversite so abuse and corruption was rampant, they moved away from that eventually.

2018-11-13 06:24:33 UTC  

@Jacob still he should apply to a very large range of grad schools

2018-11-13 06:24:51 UTC  

I applied to 37

2018-11-13 06:25:07 UTC  

wow

2018-11-13 06:26:02 UTC  

Were tax collectors ever killed by people?

2018-11-13 06:26:11 UTC  

Although not ideal, Rome breaking into 3 parts during the crisis of the third century allowed the central roman empire's retarded politics of come and go emperors to not affect the Gaulic or Palmynran Empires, in fact the Palmyran Empire slapped Parthia hard

2018-11-13 06:26:14 UTC  

Was that a common occurrence?

2018-11-13 06:26:48 UTC  

@Jacob I'll be honest with my concern: when I hear someone saying they're applying to MIT, I want to know that they're applying to at least 30 other schools. Saying "ah if I don't go to MIT then I won't get a phd" is a bit silly. If that is someone's attitude then they probably should be going for a PhD anyway

2018-11-13 06:26:58 UTC  

@Selma I'm not sure but in the bible they were spoken of as hated, hence people asking Jesus what he was doing hanging out with one of them

2018-11-13 06:27:24 UTC  

At church they equate tax collectors with prostitutes in a manner of speaking.

2018-11-13 06:27:35 UTC  

Aquaducts and roads were centralized
