This is what I'm thinking. Take a small (for Amazon) that will be dwarfed by people who sign up for or renew Prime memberships hoping to luck out on a similar deal in the future.

I once took a programming class from a later (post-Andreessen)NCSA Mosaic team who would joke about Netscape coincidentally having the same bugs as NCSA Mosaic.

Don't they have community colleges with programming courses in Appalachia? I remember years ago I took a single 3-month long summer class at a local community college that taught C, basic data structures, and basic algorithms. Based on

If you enjoy writing, your CS degree would be an asset if you want a career in patent law as a patent agent or a patent attorney.

Well when Asians are discriminated against in university admissions and now even when searching for a job (at least in the case of Asian males), exactly what kind of privilege do Asians really have?

Yep. People like Sergey Brin, Max Levchin, et al. would count as "foreign" under the metric of the study in the article.

by gyc 9y ago
The headline is further misleading by saying "foreign citizens" when the study was talking about workers who were "foreign born." A U.S. citizen who was born abroad is not foreign.

OK so it looks like the 21-110 Euro range was for a set menu, not individual courses.

I don't think the city or the state would be too interested in giving the type of incentives that Amazon is looking for, unfortunately.

Although it wasn't that long ago when BART workers went on strike, replacement workers (former BART operators) stepped in to operate the trains, and then promptly ran over and killed two workers performing track maintenance.

You are absolutely correct that a whole host of laws govern the landlord-tenant relationship. Given how regulated air travel is, as well as United's status as a common carrier, I wouldn't be surprised that there are also similarly

I don't think that is true. If you had a valid lease with a landlord for your apartment, your landlord can't just kick you out of your apartment before the end of the lease if you haven't violated any of the contractual terms

I moved from SF to Minneapolis ~5 years ago. If you can survive the cold winters here, the area truly offers a great quality of life and way more amenities than you might expect for a very reasonable cost of living.
