I don't think you understand what a wine service charge is. The staff do not get the fee, the restaurant does. This is entirely different than a tip.

It is pretty standard to give good references to bad employees in order to make one's competitors suffer their incompetence. Likewise all things being equal one does not want a great employee leaving to work for a competitor. Overall t

I agree with you entirely. Honestly I have to think that people with this logic don't truly believe it, the cognitive dissonance would be too high. Rather they are trying to exploit naive workers who have an idealistic understanding of

Very cool. What group are you going to be working in? Also curious what your ideal career path would be. Are you planning on going to the buyside eventually? As somebody in a similar place, one concern is that while S&T used to be a fee

Don't sell yourself short. I am a fairly average programmer coming from a state school, and I made 1800 a week plus housing last summer, and am going to be making 2000 a week plus housing this coming summer. If you are really a mid-top

If you don't mind could you list some more books that you think are particularly great? Topic to me is not so important, as I am interested in just books that are the best in their field. Much appreciated!

CS2340 replaced it. It is a java project course, working in groups of 4-5 people. In my opinion, and that of many others, it is very useless.

Honestly I think it is a bit sad that you cannot imagine that a person would prefer to do something other than work, and that the alternative must be to find other work to do. I have other things that I enjoy that are not my job, such as my

"The Googler (I'll just use the masculine pronoun for convenience's sake) was sitting with his seat back up, while his neighbor's seat was leaned all the way back. This left a huge gap in between the seats, so that merely by looking straigh
