Thank you. I assumed more people would know the history of IBM and how it maintained relevance through consulting work around it's enterprise products when it couldn't keep up with the PC market.

It may help gain perspective if you imagine yourself as an uninvolved third party hired to consult for a contracting agency: "C". Let's say this contracting agency has an established contract with a weekly renewal clause, eit

Shkreli epitomizes the problem, but he definitely isn't the source of it. These things were happening when he was in diapers.

Not wanting the potential for easements on your property in the future : perfectly sensible. Denying access to formerly communal areas when you aren't going to be there : kinda crappy.

Any hard Engineering branch, Mathematics, and some of the more rigorous Biology stuff will do as well. I honestly do not understand why there appears to be so much desire to get into Data Science when becoming a Programmer is equally lucrat

I think the author of this post is unintentionally misleading. Becoming a data scientist is not a passive activity that can be taught solely through coursework, the only time the author mentions real-world applications is in the point ment

Peter Thiel is brilliantly observant and often makes correct observations, it's the conclusions he draws afterwards that I find to be specious.
