Yes, it is. Many jobs want degrees. A lot of students just want the paper. I wish people wanted the intellectual experience, but I had to do a second major in the liberal arts to even get a hint of that, and even then people really weren&

I've thought about this and I wonder why we couldn't have an exam model for education. One cost for the exam, and one for the prep program. If you wanted to you could study at home on your own, and then just pay to take the test&#

Most contracts I've seen have clauses that specifically say that you are agreeing that the contract is limited to the terms in the contract itself and waiving everything else so you are probably out of luck there.

What albums are well mixed for Atmos? I had a 5.1 mix of The Black Album and it felt like a gimmick and it wasn’t actually leveraged artistically. I definitely have heard stereo mixes with thought given to the channels. Jagged Little Pill b

Well it's an aggregate. Advertisers don't want to spend money on a platform that allowed Russel Brand to make money. The problem with advertiser's and the public is that platforms are seen as whole. Advertising on the platfor

It's not a matter of guilt, it's a matter of profitability. If there were advertisers beating down their doors now to get their products placed alongside Russel Brand's face they'd leave him monetised. YouTube is truly n

Just because there is open land, doesn't mean we should pave it over. I really feel like we should cap the percentage of the earth's surface that is developed to something like 2010 levels and just infill. Otherwise the Amazon doe

My qualm is that it can take a lifetime of pushing around a script or a novel before it gets made. Publishers and studios would have an incentive to accept every script submitted and purposely ignore it for 20 and then look at them now that

They would only lose ownership to their earlier strips by now. Also anything else would be fan fiction. It wouldn’t remove the primacy of author created works. I mean if I create a XXX Fables movie no one will consider it authentic or canon

The larger an EV is the less efficient it is because it has to carry the unloaded battery with it, and it needs more battery for the same function. I don't have the number but I would bet that the energy need is a square of the vehicle

This doesn’t address needlessly large EVs that damage roads and are a threat to pedestrians and bicyclists. These larger EVs are also inefficient use of battery cells than they’d be in smaller vehicles. Would love to see more Mini/Sma

An article shared recently said that road damage is weight^4. Make a car tax based on vehicle weight and the market takes care of itself. For the right classes (such as wheelchair accessible) it can be a tax write-off.
