What I'm saying is that if your goal is to introduce more engineering rigor and your plan is for for the tiny percentage of graduate school graduates to percolate these ideas through the industry, it's probably a bad plan and like

To a first approximation, software developers don't have masters degrees. If you are thinking about changing how an industry does its work, focusing on graduate courses seems counterproductive.

I think your salary observation is more of a firmware vs. hardware, rather then "soft" vs "hard" engineering. Further to that, it's often informative to figure out what makes a company money. The highest paid softw

There are a few aspects. One is that we don't understand the fundamentals of software as well as the underpinnings of other engineering disciplines. More importantly though, for the most part we choose not to do engineering. By which

There is corruption everywhere (though obviously not uniformly distributed). It requires active, dynamic efforts to counteract. If you don't see some evidence of successful prosecution, that itself is informative.

This is just imposing an chosen (and in this case, pretty natural) order on a set without total order. But as you note, you have to give something up. In this case the order identifies each number on a circle in the complex plane with a si

It is wildly different, true. In some areas, it is not uncommon to see PhD "thesis" that is essentially an intro stapled to 3-4 papers. It's also true that publication rates post PhD vary wildly as well, e.g. expectations fo

You don't really need that (and it would be too expensive), you just need to fix the incentives so that people do more replication.

The comparison is with the 0-60 of a 911, remember? And even then I didn't say the truck would win, just that they are not bad at it (it being, 0-60) out-of-the box. Current F-150s are in the high 3s/low 4s on 0-60. So are some

None of that is correct. Ripe avocado's typically don't have any darks spots or "veins". Ones that are overripe or poorly stored can, but even then it's typically not mold, it oxidization. The "veins"
