On: Using Deep Learning and Google Street View to Estimate Demographic Makeup of US

Must be why I've often met with astonishment and incredulous remarks when I meet new colleagues. "He's got to have a lot of money; why does he drive that crap car?"

I always answer: that's why I have a lot of money.

You tell people you have a lot of money?

[JoeAltmaier → jimmykennedy]

No. But I'm running the company they work for or are vendors to. Or I'm representing my consulting company to a client. They guess the rest.

[jimmykennedy → JoeAltmaier]

That's weird. Because I've met plenty of people who are rich because of entrepreneurship and drive a luxury vehicle. Why are you rich because of the car you drive?

[JoeAltmaier → jimmykennedy]

Is this just trolling now? Because saving money by not spending on luxuries is generally understood to conserve money, making one wealthier. Saving on cars can obviously save 10's to 100's of thousands of dollars.

Sorry, you're not rich. 10's to 100's is very middle class.
