We had multiple grids in the past, it didn't work and it won't work today for the same reason it didn't work then. While a great theoretical model, treating everything as something to be left up to competition is naive and mi

Coursera actually has a solution to this and it involves rolling over from your enrolled session in to a later one. To tell you the truth, I find it a great system because it gives me a sense of the time frame I should realistically be comp

I just logged in specifically to tell you that as a SLC resident without a car, I use lyft extensively. Similarly all my friends do as well, for the almost perfect example people use of preventing drunk driving. I'm already pretty stra

I think you're naive, cashier pay is typically minimum wage, there's no sense in paying people based on efficiency when most are getting paid as little ass legally allowed.

As a few others have expressed similar, I can attest to the sentiments in the article. I may be one of the more informed with my loans, and this is my understanding of the matter. My freshmen year I incurred ~$26,000 in commercial loans, wi

I don't think it's entirely fair, I think the expectation is that students know they need to go to college and they understand they can only go to college via loans. Accordingly, they know that the terms are what they are, there r

There's a fairly good documentary about the sudbury school somewhere, I'll come back and edit this post if I can find it. But the premise is largely one of giving students greater agency to pursue their education. Frankly, even as

Actually one of the first things he said was obviously we'd compensate you. Also the common vision element came from we spent the majority of the time just discussing education. As well, your comment of wanting to be asked for input is

This is somewhat tangential, but my professor recruited Steve to come to Fusion-io and always speaks incredibly highly of Steve. When he was leaving the CEO position to give it back to the founder of Fusion-io he offered Steve some addition

Interestingly I just has to read this a week or two ago, and I really did find it to be a great essay. My professor used this as a perfect example of an essay crafted to bring together both information and experience in an engaging piece.
