No, brown rice isn't a complete protein, you need to add beans or tofu and maybe some micronutrients from greens that grow pretty easily. Consider reading a book on nutrition for vegetarians--malnutrition can creep up on you and cause some

"no company worth it's salt is going to think twice about hiring a newly minted MBA that 1) has never worked a real job and 2) has no management experience" It's a nice thought, and I suppose you could discount the vast majority of companie

Now that was one idiotic column. The idea that Rockefeller was some genius working against the odds ignores the fact that the US was the ascendant economic power of the time, and also had huge stores of oil within its borders. What next, is

It has to pay the store well enough to cover the cost of the Safeway manager standing in front of the machine, scratching his head when it jams up.

Bah. Knuth wrote several interesting applications, including one that changed the face of mathematics more in the last 20 years than any other development. Where would math be without TeX? But beyond that, there's more to CS than "novel app

My son's high school physics teacher has something like this that appears to be a commercial product, with lots of IR remote controls that get pointed at an IR receiver connected to the teacher's laptop. He runs it sort of like Who Wants to

It's important to understand that when you're young, it can be difficult to tell the difference between elitism and social awkwardness.

I thought the author meant "Princeton" but wasn't willing to say so.

Sometimes people include top-ranked private universities like Stanford, but never for public universities, and never to refer to top schools in a particular field where the rest of the Ivies are notably weak.

Complaining about "Ivies" in the context of CS theory is a bit goofy. Princeton is in the top echelon for theory, but I'm not sure the other Ivies would crack the top 5.

The benefits you're talking about are those that were promised as pension and healthcare obligations to already-retired workers. The difference between UAW and non-UAW wages and benefits for current workers isn't that large.

He says it, as if it were true, without any evidence or even argument other than "I said so" to support whether these cultural forces have any effect on outcomes. As someone elsewhere points out, he does reference poor outcomes, but that do

What a bunch of tripe. Summary: concern about self-esteem and diversity has caused our students to become shiftless. Proof: because he said so.

gcc was an important piece of work that Stallman started. The rest of the GNU stuff was a bunch of knock-off code because the original code was bound up in lawsuits (just like the kernel) or later replicated because of licensing purity of e

I thought the lack of references was a major failing of the book. Some of the algorithms barely scratch the surface, and it does a disservice to the reader to provide noplace to go. Here's a few to get started: 1. Russel and Norvig's AI tex

The thing you're missing about San Francisco is that in the early to mid '90s, commercial real estate crashed hard enough that you could get plush offices with bay views for less than a tilt-up in a Mountain View office park. That's one rea
