And yet, filling my head up with over a decade of information from a public school education was essentially useless to me. Studying programming on my own (not offered in my schools) was vastly more important.

These are government schools, are they not? Paid for by tax dollars?

You could use the same logic to ban all sorts of things for adults. And many governments do, to everyone's detriment. Alcohol prohibition says hello. It's exactly this type of generalized authoritarian philosophy that keeps the

Welp, you asked for my opinion. My opinion is that if you literally can't think of a valid use for the entire internet in a classroom setting, then you aren't trying very hard. It's tantamount to having a library at your

Do you think instead of teaching English we should be banning books, because some students read trashy novellas in class and distract themselves?

I get your point, but space exploration and robots everywhere aren't the only types of "wildly different" futures. People just have latched onto those two things as facile benchmarks.

Because you could have the answer to nearly any question at your fingertips, and yet it's arbitrarily taken away? How is it not a punishment?

Completely agree. I also think, "disingenuous" since it's the most obvious fake answer, and also "uncreative" since they couldn't come up with anything better.

I always just say I'm impatient. Which is true and interviewers never seem to mind it.

I'm not sure why all students should be punished just because because some cannot use a new tool well. Socialism at its worst, in my opinion. The irresponsible drag down those with more potential.

You're an example of not orienting your perspective properly.. ;) The internet, a global communications network that everyone carries with them in their pocket on a mini touchscreen PC, is fucking incredible. Even prisoners who go awa

And this is why government projects are essentially doomed to fail versus capitalism, in the long-view.

Raising the minimum wage will simply result in jobs being replaced by kiosks. Not that it won't happen soon anyway, but why hasten it.

I need to do this right now. Where's my office sofa. I really do wish more US companies encouraged power naps, they are provably good for productivity.

Underrated post, completely agree. There have been several times when I wasn't doing so well financially and I wondered -- if I'm this smart (not to be cocky, but top 1% at least) and struggling, how are other people making it at

I agree with much of what you said, yet I just don't see it as all that bad of a situation. I still think there is a lot of upward mobility even in that scenario -- the smarter people I know earn good salaries and have nice lifestyle

I mean, I already work 10-12 hours per day and have a gym routine. My life has plenty of meaning (as far as I'm concerned) but yeah, I see your point. Reddit replaces other entertainment for me, it wouldn't be productive time any
