The scrap price is what you get for bringing scrap copper to a recycler. Not an expert, but I assume $5/lb is the peak value for dropping off nearly perfect condition copper. Not sure how much they’re actually getting for stripped copp

A key part of trials like this is the discovery process, which would surface a lot of the documents and emails that supposedly contain this information you’re talking about. If the lawyers found it, they’d be using it. I think the takeaway

Graduates from every university follow a distribution. I’m not trying to claim that all graduates from a university are equal. The center of that distribution is higher or lower depending on the university. The university matters a lot.

You’re projecting a lot on to this survey question. Some people like the adventure of going somewhere and getting a picture to remember it by. It’s fine. Let them. You’ll be much happier if you focus on your own enjoyment and stop worrying

There are many great developers who did not get CS degrees. Might be an unpopular thing to say, but in my experience interviewing a lot of applicants, the majority of applicants who don’t have CS degrees are not in that category. It’s alway
