What are the false pretenses? It sounded like they were very upfront about what they were providing--they just found they got a better response rate if they didn't tell people until after they called.

Yes, but this student had been trying to earn a 2-year degree for 6 years.

I think that pretty much describes an Associates degree in pretty much anything. You graduate with a 2-year degree of mostly general ed, but a few classes in something you think you might be interested in. If you want to get a 4-year degree

I understand that and if someone took 4 years to get a 2-year degree, maybe it would make sense. Keep in mind somehow she had enough resources (loans, financial aid, etc.) she should have been able to complete three 2-year associates degre

The interview questions don't sound particularly rigorous, but asking someone to pick a programming language and do something simple with it sounds like a good way to make sure that they at least have actually done programmed before.

I'd suggest looking at the cost per student. Otherwise, your results are going to be pretty influenced by population trends. I don't have the numbers you are looking for, but here is the closest I know off the top of my head for m

The article implies that this might be possible. Maybe what you are describing is only true for children and all adults are in the same category?

If I understood it correctly, Google has offered to tear down office buildings they currently own in order to make room for residential units to be built on Google's property. They are saying that they need to add additional offices as

It is significantly easier when making decisions by yourself. With the washer/dryer example, there was a lot more going into it including how long we may end up staying at that house, etc. There wasn't anything that really stood o

Most people can go to a junior college and get a two-year degree debt-free between working a part-time job and non-loan financial aid. Transfer into an inexpensive 4-year school to complete your undergrad degree and if you are careful you c

Some of the people who could be teaching as an adjunct professor are now doing well with classes on Udemy and similar sites. It isn't a magic, but it is another option that is available for making money using teaching skills.

It seems more and more people value "going to college" over "getting an education." This leads to a focus on all the niceties around the college experience rather than the actual education. When the education isn't

Interesting idea. The difference I see is that with the payments, the money goes back to the voting pool. So a rich person buying lots of votes for something they care about, gives money to everyone else which increases everyone's abil

I thought that the article did a good job of explaining that the goal was to allow people to weight their votes based on how important it was to them. In other words it would give people the ability to decide how much they wanted to invest

If we have a system that allows you to buy votes from other people, how is that any more of a flaw than simply using our current method of voting and allowing the same type of vote buying? It sounds like you are saying that a system that al

I'm not sure that is correct. Assume that you have only 101 people in the voting pool. The one person who is wealthy pays $1,000 for 100 votes. To match that voting power, you'll only need a handful of the other hundred to pay $4
