So, I get the reasoning, but a realistic and frankly inevitable outcome (not 100% of the people you accept are going to end up with software job, no matter how good you are) is that a person ends up in the same field, with the same salary t

Agreed, that's kinda my point. The evolutionary theory behind why we have feelings of grossness is just that "this thing is potentially dangerous to me," so we developed this sense of "gross" so we'd avoid the

That's not the logic behind the tipping system. It's, "tipping incentives employees to perform well because they'll make more money for doing a better job". It doesn't work that way either, but that's the

Another thing to factor in, if there were no tax incentives given to open/expand offices in the DC/NYC areas, would Amazon have expanded their presence there anyway? Considering the two areas, it seems likely they would open addit

I would be very disappointed if we waited to colonize mars for purely practical reasons. Climbing Everest, exploring Antarctica, going to the moon (admittedly debatable), weren't done for only practical reasons.
