Yes. I did the WGU BSCS purely to get into GaTech OMSCS, and I got in with no problem.

The OMSCS material is great! I'm really enjoying the challenge of learning new things (I didn't learn much of anything new at WGU. That's not a knock against WGU's materials, which seemed good. It's just a reflectio

Congrats on the degree! I took almost exactly the same path as you, and I also finished my WGU degree in 3 months. I got my BS to meet the admission requirements for GATech's OMSCS program, which I'm doing now. Do you plan to go f

Not really. Prior art is used as a defense against patent suits all the time.

Does anyone else find it absurd that the Government can own patents? If you consider the purpose of patents is to incentivize investment into research in exchange for securing a limited-time monopoly, then what is the purpose of Governmen

Notably, they struck down a state law forbidding recording police in public. This is great! Police need accountability. Now we just need some accountability for law makers. Who thought it was a good idea to ban recording police? What could

And what does that look like?

I think you could just as easily devise a moral framework where paying more tax than you are absolutely required to is immoral, given the actives that your taxes support (e.g. war).

Those indexes implement the strategy that you're talking about. I don't understand what you mean by "miss out on the gains for the underlying."

You could get even more passive by just investing in a buy-write index ETF. e.g. PBP or QYLD.

Which publisher was it? Surely this varies quite a bit between publishers.

A lot of people (e.g. libertarians) would agree with that statement.

The problem is that they haven't unified decades of settings. They further fragmented the settings and made everything much worse. There are still many things you simply cannot do with the new settings app. Now there's several dif

That gets them around the "prohibition on circumvention of access controls". I still don't understand how they can then go and distribute the programs without violating copyright. In fact, I'm still pretty certain they a

I use US Bank from Firefox all the time. It works fine for me. Usually when I come across a broken website, it has more to do with my ad blocker and privacy extensions than the fact I'm using Firefox.

So if Uber implemented a bid/ask type pricing system that the driver had control over, people would drop the employee demand? I don't buy it.

Windows seems to be getting more and more user-hostile everyday. It didn't used to be this way.

by jerry80 6y ago
I really don't understand why drivers should be considered employees, or even independent contractors, to Uber. Maybe someone can fill me in. To me, Uber seems more like a marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of a particular se
