And most of their products are overpriced and poorly engineered. They only really make money on phones and branding. I can't think of single reason to buy any of their laptops or desktops.

Sounds like a horrible way to do a 1-on-1. I understand that you may not care and that may work, but the problem with a lot of companies is the lack of communication perpetrated by this. Sometimes this is the only opportunity to really inqu

A result of the cancer that is continuously floating silicon valley companies in perpetuity despite them not making a profit for years. Tesla is overvalued simply by name. Same with Apple. Autonomous driving is still years out and their cus

I fail to see how a custom AI computer will "invalidate the supply chain". It's not like Tesla manufactured the chips and components in house unless I'm not aware that Tesla now has its own PCBA and component factory.

I believe it is some of the people that work there not all obviously, but it's mostly the system that's the problem. Ads nowadays are specifically designed to track you and harvest personal data about you at zero expense to you. T

There's a lot of problems. You may be advertising for a candidate you don't support just for the money. Most of the advertising has nothing to do with policy positions. The money paid isn't disclosed. It manipulates people ea

Anyone who has done a social media ad for Bloomberg has some serious integrity issues to sort out.

Compared to the hundreds of millions using languages like python, C#, Javascript etc.? It's mostly a dead language. Didn't even hit the 2019 developer survey on stack overflow. My university never used it and no company I've

I'm sure the NSA see's this completely differently. While I understand what you mean, it's very hypocritical when you have agencies like the NSA rolling around.

You should add a resource on computational theory. Discussions of P-NP, finite automata, decision problems, etc.

I consider Knuth a special case. He isn't really working on projects with pressing/shifting deadlines and timeframes. He does research and writes books. He's basically an author now. So doing things in "batch mode"

Yes, but a science lab isn't going to hire a high schooler with no science degree. And no business will pay a physicist with a degree minimum wage. That's the point. The result of obtaining higher education categorically results i

Not everyone is a genius like you. And if you want to sit in your room and do tutorials and MOOC courses all day without speaking to a single soul, and you can figure everything out on your own without guidance, be my guest. I applaud you,

An increase income range is an increase in income. Most companies do not hire high school students or drop outs for more than minimum wage. How you can reconcile a higher educated person being higher up the income ladder, but not making mor

I don't know what university you went to, but there are such things as bad universities. Just like there's such things as bad Internet courses. However, the university I went to, could be classified as "No-Name" and I us

Ridiculous. Do you have any idea where the majority of massive breakthroughs in technology come from? They come from university. AI started in university before it was even a thing. Autonomous vehicles were a university funded DARPA project

Statistically, higher education does increase incomes when factoring in multiple disciplines. The data is pretty clear on this.

I don't know why people think getting a credential does nothing or that people "copy and paste" the assignments. Sure it may be possible, but what prevents people from copying and pasting public git repos? Either way, this wh

No. It's just most people don't view it as themselves being the problem. Which is why it's all mostly a lie. Even Elon doesn't seem to care about why he misses deadlines because he keeps making them.

I don't know. What I learn is that I either: a) suck b) am slow c) drastically underestimated my ability d) drastically underestimated the projects complexity Either way, most of it is negative. I can't think of much good coming o

Except for the fact that Elon Musk nearly always misses his own deadlines so what's the point of that rhyme if you don't even know what the deadline should be? Making deadlines tight for the sake of it makes no sense other than to

What I don't get is how does one know they will solve a problem? I run into many problems that I don't have a good solution for and can't seem to figure out nor find how to get one. So I usually need to ask a co-worker for he

The worst part isn't lacking opportunity. It's knowing that you lack the ability and are forced to live your life that way without any ability to do anything about it. Opportunity is at least, largely changeable. Ability isn'
