Is this totally new or have there been [rumors | accusations | scandals] about Uber with respect to privacy/data selling before?

This is a well balanced and fair summary. Of course if you want to go to college for the wrong reason you won't be happy, and of course if you drop out and get a job for the wrong reason, you still won't be happy. It's the

Sure, but I see value in having it structured by the institution. And lectures aren't all you do in school, mind you. You work with peers, you go talk to the professors, you even become friends with them. I used to spend entire even

This was the opposite of my experience. Every new class I took offered that professor's way to learn. Every professor had something new to offer me. Some were 'aiight' but some were tremendous new options I've added t

I think you're focusing too much on school being a way to "open doors" or get a job. If you go to school for another reason, namely just to be impressed by professors who are insightful and brilliant, to learn cool things, a

I agree with the comments from fny and xupybd here. I'd also like to say that I think his categorical dismissal of a CS degree is pushing it: > more over I don’t think these successes owe their brilliance to the institution which a

That's true—I only discovered this after getting two down votes and putting in some research. I suppose it's cool, this new content. And you make a great point about a broader audience; this is definitely needed. The reason I wr

I think these things are kind of grim. Living life without considering its length as a motivation to do things is perfectly fine.

I have to agree, programmers unionizing would seem a bit… "spoiled" to me. I've never had any issues negotiating or getting underpaid. The bulk of the issues described under this post actually seem to have nothing to do wit

Wow! What a straightforwardly cool and enriching post. I've had a vague idea of how engines work (as well as turbochargers) but somehow I've never bothered to get it straight.

I get the sense that the reality is somewhere in between. It's definitely not everywhere, but I do see a significant amount of philosophy and meta-work happening in technology (and possibly other industries). People like to present t

Though I do understand most of the criticism this piece is getting in this thread, can we at least agree that all that bullshit about being a star and "graduating" is total bullshit? What a total slap in the face. Culture aside,

Like I said, none of us take it seruiously. But the places that hire using that which we've experienced have been top notch in most ways; I think to a point it's okay to just let them satisfy themselves with their little tests.

That's what they tell me. I honestly didn't feel like it mattered, my mom and I are ISTJ for instance and we get along/work with a pool of such random EN* it feels like you pull these letters out of a bag.

How do you feel about personality tests? I've never seen an IQ test, but many interviews I've done as well as my family have had personality tests (and were very high quality workplaces), and we generally laugh them off as a kind

It's this harsh language I'm trying to point out is unnecessary. They're literally not forcibly doing anything. They're just doing bad business practice, and that's bad, but it won't change the future or doom u

So you're saying they shouldn't drop support? That's absurd, a company has every right to drop active support. If they're not profitable, want to start a new business, or for whatever reason, they're not obligated

My point remains that they're not redefining ownership. Sure, you're right, it's a worse product than the 458. You still own it. It's just a garbage product. Give it a bad review, post an article about it, even sue the c

If they don't give a fuck, then why are they going out of their way to disable their devices? Wouldn't not giving a fuck entail just dropping support?
