Nearly every college is all about teaching you what to think, not how to think. They like to claim otherwise... which is another thing they want you to think. The non-STEM courses are particularly a cesspool of telling you what to think. Th

It can be worthwhile, even though you are getting ripped off very badly. That 4-year degree gets you about 1 year of valuable education, 1 year of nice-to-have education, and 2 years of disinformation. If you just got the 1 year of valuable

This is a shock. In modern times, this sort of enforcement is normally only done for other religions. Try it in the UK, and also an equivalently offensive statement for the most popular alternative religion. The results will make clear who

Sodexo, like Aramark, is whatever the facility owner wants it to be. I've seen everything from a dreadful chicken nuggets to wonderful slabs of cod and pork. The facility owner decides.

It looks like Google had rules to officially be non-partisan, but many employees were making race-based assumptions in an attempt to be partisan while appearing to follow the rules. (they would assume Hispanic==Democrat, then promote accord

Proposal for expensive cars that don't require a button press: The key fob and car contain identical pre-shared random data. (could be gigabytes) Each transaction uses 4 tokens, 2 going in each direction, with each token being 128 bits

The obvious choice is to sort of skip the crypto entirely. The key fob can hold more than enough 128-bit random numbers to last the life of the car. Think about how much we can put on a little USB device these days. Cross off codes as they

"couple of" means 2. "several" means more than that, generally 3 or 4. They have equal levels of formality.

This might not be an improvement. If they can no longer turn you over to the authorities, they may feel compelled to gather a mob. A large part of the reason why we have criminal law is to suppress people's urge to take things into the

This is a half-truth, because there isn't really an AP Computer Science anymore. From wikipedia: "Due to low numbers of students taking the exam, AP Computer Science AB was discontinued following the May 2009 exam administration.&

You can reach the "serviceable by transit" population density with that requirement for "2 parking spaces per dwelling and detached single-family homes". Let's allow for a road that is legally 50 feet wide. Each hou

Got an alternative? The trouble here is that lots of programmers want/need a language that is like a portable assembler. It's all well and fine to say that C isn't such a language, but then what language shall we use? Since t

If you don't want to buy FRA mixed-use compatible train sets, simply cut the connection to our nationwide rail system. You don't need to rip up the whole track. It probably makes the most sense to remove the switch tracks, but I g

Since we can not all fit in "places people want to live / work / visit", the only viable solution is to change that. Other places need to be made more desirable. (as needed, add: cell towers, an airport, a high school, a

No amount will ever be enough if we all try to cram into the most fancy spot. Americans don't have many kids now. There are lots of empty towns all across the country. We thus have plenty of housing. We could stop building today and be

This strikes me as perfectly fitting the natural instincts. Initially, you have to prove yourself. You then succeed enough to find a mate and start a family. This reduces your tolerance for risk, as it should: your kids need you. Once you n

This is clearly a case where "correlation is not causation" must be considered. Suppose that refugees love Facebook. If so, then places with refugees will have more Facebook usage. Anti-refugee violence can only occur where there
