I've actually seen many many job postings looking for people with a PhD in Data Science which is truly mindblowing because there are only 2-3 such programs in the Country and most …

That's rather sad considering the degree isn't going to say Online and Georgia Tech is top 10 in the world in Computer Science and online or not that credential carries real weight…

Well not according to the people who constantly talk about Supply and Demand. If there's a massive supply shortage as implied there ought to be a corresponding increase in Compensa…

Yet it still has a massive first mover advantage.

Or you know maybe investors have smartened up and are unwilling to give money to the 20th "Uber for X" idea from some Stanford bros. Edit: Seems I hurt the feelings of Silicon Vall…

>Harvard's legal argument isn't that they are racially discriminating and that it's legal. They know it's not. Grutter v. Bollinger 2003 Sandra Day O'Connor wrote the majority opin…

Sorry but that doesn't really have bearing on the Harvard case, the decision upheld that scoring systems and quotas are unconstitutional. Of course you seem to be ignoring Regents …

It's actually not at all clear if it's legal hence the court battle. In fact AA is literally legalized discrimination that benefits Minorities so you really don't know what you are…

Not sure how this could be downvoted. It's factually accurate. FB, Snap and Insta astroturfers must be out in force.

Yeah totally, the Snap and Facebook short sellers are astroturfing anti social media bias duuuude.

If you don't see how spending all day on Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram could be affecting your mental health then obviously you won't understand everyone else's concerns and dis…

Seriously? Find me the politicians who haven't accepted campaign donations(bribes) from insurance or healthcare companies. Good Luck.

Lolwat the entire purpose of Arbitration is to give a massive advantage to corporations.

Like in Education the glut of "Administrators" is certainly not helping.

Millions of people no doubt.

Idk if I would recommend Griffiths, his texts are usually extremely rigorous. I can't speak for this one but certainly his ED and QM books.

If you aren't a professor and you are teaching classes you are an Adjunct/Lecturer which is a dead end career-wise. Maybe nice as a side gig or when you retire but a horrible posit…

See Betsy Devos and Mick Mulvaney. They are literally gutting their respective Departments for the direct benefit of private corporations. You can tell yourself that they are just …

I wonder how this applies to Part Time PhDs. They are exceedingly rare in the US and it usually comes down to having a very supportive Job and an unusually open minded Advisor, I'v…

Both their classes are offered online for free, I fail to see the conflict?

This would never happen in the us where average PhD stipends are $30,000 at great schools and even a two bit programmer in the middle of nowhere USA could make $50k easily.

Several of the examples in the article of people without PhDs work at Google Brain so you are literally wrong in this case. They are obviously outliers but either way you aren't ri…

Sounds like an Adjunct position which I hate to break it to you is no where near Professor. You will likely make less than minimum wage, I have seen salaries of $3,000 per class ta…

Malthusian overpopulation stopped being a serious scientific theory years ago. https://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_on_global_population_...

How else can you convince someone to fund another useless product if you don't tell everyone the founders went to Stanford and worked at Google??
