Addressing your points in order: 1) Which is why the US public throws its hand up on this crap- do well on one metric and suddenly another is more important. And let's add some extemporaneous moralizing in there- if it wasn't mea

MITRE's not really a consultancy, but I wouldn't call them a completely unrelated field. Mitre.com now belongs to the soccer ball company so they couldn't have been too tight-fisted with it.

If you can track something accurately enough to hit it with a laser (especially for the length of time needed for photon pressure to work) then it's better to leave it alone- you know where it is and it's predictable enough that y

So I know people who work as devs at banks- they live in big houses, work reasonable hours, have families and kids and hobbies like restoring cars or fishing. How is that more soul-grinding than working 10 hour days at some SV unicorn for

We lack even mediocre parents- when you talk low SES you mean kids living in cars, parents in jail, kicked outside all night because mom wants to party with her new boyfriend. Not all of them, of course, but enough in those types of situat

So MI-6 learned it from wars they were never involved in, then taught it to the US intelligence service during WWII in case they needed it to jail black people? Which the CIA then decided it needed to do 20 years after the Civil Rights move

Unfortunately we don't know what her overall tuition was- $95000 would be cheap for BA&MA pretty much anywhere. And that's another part of the problem- the universities price themselves like airlines. You hand the school all

Not GP, but the tone is that everyone else is stupid and emotional, especially those who want to pursue non-STEM (for a very narrow definition of STEM)/finance degrees, and that everyone obviously had the same advantages the average HN

Ever deal with drunk people while coding? Shoplifters? Code Adam? Homeless? Been robbed? Screw up those interactions and it's pretty serious. If you can mess up a software delivery in a similar amount of time then your organization i

It's not that there are no legitimate medical uses, but that medical is a front for recreational use. Judging by the number of medical dispensaries the entire state of Colorado is on chemo and has glaucoma. Even after legalization th
