I'm a strong determinist. Effort, hard work and skill is irrelevant (any relevance comes from the fact that you're already in your statistical band for expected success and are trying to maximize within that). I believe most of yo

I don't believe that's necessary. Education already promotes not having kids, or at least waiting. [1][2] What you propose is also politically impossible (I completely agree, in theory, however). We already know how challenging th

As someone who was born into a bottom 20% family and went to a supposed "Ivy Plus/Elite College" this is not shocking to me at all. The culture shock for me personally was amazing. In particular, I'll never forget when s

Is there a historical precedent for those above the peasants, but still below the king, to constantly rationalize and serve as king apologists? I notice an interesting trend with a large chunk of the discussion being centered towards why [r

Here's one way: 1. Send them a Surface Hub or equivalent device. 2. Use something similar to ProctorTrack[1] to ensure that they're not using unauthorized programs, etc. 3. Anonymize their voice with i/o software. [1] http:&

Somewhat off-topic, though it may be relevant. Is it that much more difficult/complicated to have a server side rendered app with pure JavaScript sprinkled in versus SPA vs. no JavaScript? The situation I'm thinking about is the f

I guess I wasn't clear -- the point I was trying to make isn't about the paycut, or even the percentage, but rather just conveying that a huge lifestyle change would be necessary. One I'm skeptical that most would be willing,

I find it very unlikely that we'll "solve" this problem. At best we'll just deal with the effects and survive accordingly. 1. The majority of the world isn't even on par with say, France, in terms of their contribut

Can you explain this "you must be fun at parties" comment I see often? And I am very fun at parties. I fail to see what cursing, drinking, smoking, etc has to do with being a fun person.

Personally, I've found the following heuristic to be very accurate: if you wouldn't do it in front of a toddler AND allow them do it themselves, then you probably shouldn't do it, ever. There's likely no value in doing i

I believe there's a fundamental assumption among many that with time, life is becoming better for all. Even if this is true right now, one day it will not be true. Once no longer true, humanity is going to have to ask itself if the mas

Has there been any attempt to orchestrate an income based repayment program? This could be implemented in a variety of ways, the most popular of which is taking a percentage of your income after graduating. Some advantages I can think of: 1

This is great news. However, anyone who's used Piazza (the main "classroom" tool for OMSCS) knows that it's hardly ideal. I think a better collaboration/discussion tool is imperative to making the experience better
