Good article overall. It points things out in dry, politically-correct grammar with good references. Cliffs Notes Version: Snowflakes. Precious, unchallenged snowflakes and their parents are what went wrong. When everyone started getting &#

first, define "crap money". Professors work 8-9 months out of the year. for most, their jobs are protected (tenure), which doesn't exist in the real world. Lets not even get into the educational closed-loop many exist in. (3r

you mean the business of education is following the money and not focusing on spoiled American students who want their cake and eat it too? Follow the money. Education is a business model, no matter the economic model of the country.

HA! Law? You think the government is bound by a law? ESPECIALLY when "national security" is involved? - just ask Hillary. Laws mean nothing to politicians and are only a mild irritant to Law Enforcement.

Companies complain that there are not enough people, and use the 'shortage' as a reason to go H1b a la Disney, but they won't lift a finger to TRAIN people for what is needed because they say the employees will bolt - well ST

the way I read its is that no, BMW is NOT legally required to release it as it is in a proprietary piece of HW, and releasing the code could thus cause harm to their business. and while they ARE using it for 'gain', no one can pro
