Sure, then complain that all you get to do is glue together some crappy middleware :)

Not sure about Austria, but in my home country, Poland, the employee is liable for statutory damages. He will be ordered by the court to pay the employer an amount equal to his gross salary for the notice period [1]. For example, if you ear

As a matter of fact, it is normal for patent examiners to not even read the invention specification and focus only on the claims. I was surprised to learn that from a patent attorney, but it seems to be common knowledge, e.g. [1]. Upon refl

In the vast majority of cases, it doesn't matter. But I think it's ethically wrong for a company to have this power over an individual. Can't it lead to a situation where, for a few weeks, a person becomes an involuntary work

What happens if you change the question so that it conforms to Aristo's input constraints, i.e. is unambiguous and includes the correct answer among the choices?

I'm not sure I understand. Do you believe that the correct answer is "no"?

Did you not read the instructions? Aristo is designed to answer multiple choice grade school science questions, not abstract and cheap virtue signalling nonsense.

Making a 15 years long commitment at 25 seems to me like a huge gamble with limited upside (the salary) and basically unlimited downside. What if you are unhappy at the DOE but have to stay there until you are 45?

PhD selection committees don't give much weight to grades (did they ever?) and instead rely on letters of recommendation. The corporate world doesn't care what one has gained from their degree apart from the social skills which un

Do most people learn well from traditional methods though? If dropping out of a MOOC involved a big financial hit, social humiliation, and the loss of a great deal of personal freedom, the completion rates would skyrocket. Completely differ

Exactly. I completed 5 out of ~50 courses I have ever enrolled in. One of the courses I did not complete was instrumental in getting me into graduate school in a field unrelated to my formal background. Focusing on the completion rates miss

Yes! It's a new course that will be open for enrolment soon. I think it's exactly what most people here are looking for. There is the financial aid and normally there is the option to watch the lectures and see the assignment for

The notability criteria are site-wide, not personal and depend somewhat on the source of notability of a given subject (e.g. different criteria for academics than for most other living persons). Check out [1] if you are genuinely interested

CSD A7 requires that there is no claim of significance. This is an incredibly low standard (much lower than notability) and does not have to be supported by a source. Basically, if there is anything written in the article that suggests the

You seem to think that the (speedy) deletion criteria are much more liberal than they actually are. In fact, they are very narrow, so that only "obvious commercial spam" or otherwise obviously inappropriate articles get deleted i
