Heh heh. Perfect example of why “extracurricular activities” are total bs. Admissions people need to have intangibles. That way, they can do what they want, when they want to.

They are long dead. It was sad. They doted on me and my sister because they had no kids. He was a salesman. He knew how to get books in Manhattan. He used to get my sister classics with the most beautiful color plate illustrations. In the s

No. TurboTax has been around for as long as people have had their own computers.

Yes. This is well known. They became so rich and powerful they had lobbyists (bag men) to protect their interests.

Yes. So see my “methodology” above. It is the systematic way for you to do the part that is missing. With various weird-ass forms, this is STILL a lot of work. But it will be substantially correct, where substantially means that the IRS

You do not have to guess “what the government knows.” Download your income transcript. See the “methodology” I replied above in response to this comment.

Methodology: 1) Download your income transcript from the IRS using your IRS account. 2) Make sure all claimed income on the transcript is included. 3) Do the puzzle. 4) Print and file. Be sure you have a copy, either scanned or electronic,

I think you are right. The correct comparison is internship vs. no opportunity at all, not internship vs. job. The actual number of real jobs is driven by revenue.

Aha! They have extracurricular activities for nerds now! I had forgotten! (I am such an alter cocker this was unknown, absolutely unknown, science fiction unknown, when I was young.)

You are right. I forgot. I wouldn’t even get in now probably.

So 57 years ago, there weren’t any programming books. Well, there was one. McCracken and Dorn, Numerical Methods and Fortran Programming. A kindly childless couple, Ben and Bluma Goldin, who lived in the same apartment house in Brooklyn,

Yes you knew what they told you. Yes they looked at for a minute. Yes, out of a class of 950, it made a difference for 20-30. But I bet, privately, they spat on it. They had plenty of experience with total nerds who founded industries o

1) Bachelor’s level by 15-16. 2) Doctorate or equivalent by 20-21. 3) Decent communication and social skills. This is a significant flameout point. 4) Creativity and absolute refusal to work on directed projects by others, except voluntaril

Exactly. Nobody really successful is well-rounded. Who TF has time? Well-roundedness is great when you’re spending money earned by others.

Exactly. If you’re really intellectually bright and committed, all those extracurricular activities, populated by average students, are a total waste of time. Regardless of anything they say, MIT and Cal Tech have prospered precisely by i

No no no. The thesis topics are in graduate schools are more cutting edge, and the opportunity to interact with real science as an undergraduate are invaluable. I would tend to agree that excelling at a second tier university with a compr

Yes, prestigious schools open a huge number of doors. But more importantly, they teach elite mannerisms, standards and beliefs, and prejudices. If you are not a true genius (true geniuses can always make their way, but they are rare, even

I loved this machine. Stuyvesant HS in NYC had one in the late 60’s, and you had to be strategic to get use it. (In the same room was an IBM 1130. Stuyvesant had two programming classes in 1967-68, Fortran IV, and more advanced Fortran IV.)
