This is unfortunate for the individuals who are forced to relocate, and contributes to the gentrification of the community, but I could really go without the race-baiting rhetoric. This has nothing to do with skin color; if anything its a c

If grad students aren't doing 50-90% of the work related to a professor's research, then they are doing it wrong.

Meh. Maybe this is an American/California thing but at the bar or supermarket there are 100s of possible brands of beer, many of which incorporate different ingredients and brewing processes that will have profound effects on flavor (a

Not in any meaningful sense. Hardly any big tech companies manufacture hardware in the US any more. Hardware is Apple's single distinguishing feature as a business, and theres way more to it than which company happens to assemble the c

I don't think that is a definition of open-source that is widely recognized or useful. If Microsoft uses MIT license software in the next version of Windows, is Windows considered open source? No.

I don't get the idea. And Im not sure when Sublime Text became considered an IDE, if anything it is anti-IDE. An IDE classically has tools and integrations, well, integrated. E.g. Visual Studio or Eclipse.

Why don't you go to IS-controlled Syria and see how you feel about it. I'll wait. The fact is, in a democratic society, you are allowed to make comments and hold opinions like yours, as nonsensical as they are.

In CS/eng, indeed, more so in fact. For humanities, not as much.

Can you name any gang or mafia group that uses racket money to build and maintain roads, telephone lines, and other public infrastructure?
