I graduated from Olin, never took a class at Babson, but would also highly recommend classes at Wellesley. The major downside to Olin is that it's very small and the humanities offerings are very scarce and not comprehensive at all. Ol

I'm hardly one to jump on the "CS degrees are useless" bandwagon -- different discussion, but suffice it to say that I believe they're a great thing to have and are generally a good stepping stone to a career in software

My company verified my degrees. I know they did because I had graduated from a master's program around the same time I sent in the paperwork to HR, and they needed me to physically bring in my diploma as proof of graduation (the univer

I have reason to believe that you're not only wrong, but that giving up on making public transportation accessible in favor of paratransit would be a huge detriment to everyone, especially the disabled. I live in Boston, and follow the

If a password reset is allowed by pin that's not two factor authentication, that's SINGLE factor authentication. I know we tend to think of 2FA as anything involving a pin sent to your phone, but it does require two factors. GMail

I keep backup codes for my account in two places: My wallet (which I always have on me, so I won't be locked out if I'm traveling), and at home. If you're really paranoid, you could also give backup codes to a friend or relat

Why do we laugh or smile in private when we're watching something funny? Why do we say "Ow!" when we're hurt, or scream when we're startled? Why does our body posture change based on our mood, even when no one'

Your employer doesn't know how your insurance is used, so you can feel free to go to the therapist through your insurance all you want. Or did you meant that you'd keep it off the books so your _insurance_ wouldn't know? Why

Do you think cab drivers have gotten better since Uber came out? I only take them from the airport occasionally now, but the biggest thing about pre-Uber taxis was the service issues.

I used to have those a lot, but I think Uber's eliminated a lot of the "off duty taxi drivers" in the last couple years. I used to get picked up by literal taxi cabs when I called for an Uber pretty frequently. Now, "mar

You're missing the part where not everyone can pay for the down payment or qualify for a mortgage (or buy the house outright, for that matter). Even if you can, it's a nail-biting month or so of crap just to go through the process
