   I want to take the devils advocate position here and ask: why shouldn't a vendor be allowed to charge more for tiered service? With FANG and other tech companies sitting on so much cash, why cant they build out competing networks if t

   If you're a strong logical thinker, like your math degree implies, you'll be better off avoiding shops that filter like that. They don't understand that picking up a syntax is secondary and structured thought is the real stre

   Me too. I skated through hs and got a wakeup call at uni. The most critical skill hs can teach is to do homework. Even if its boring.

    Zuckerberg is a smart guy and seems to care about policy. I wonder why he's so oblivious to the amount of harm he's causing.

    Youre right. There's something unclean and bad about the aesthetics...its like stuck in the 1980s. They need someone that can redesign and modernize it. Whoever did that work for Target would probably know what precisely to do.
