Thanks for explaining. I question my sanity when I see lots of comments and can't tell what's so exciting about a black & blue dress you can change the lighting for.

The guilty parties (where known) are local heroes. The US has a bad reputation in much of the world.

> It really seems like they're throwing good money after bad. When making rich people richer is the primary goal, it all makes sense.

They should default. A few years later the investors will be back the same as before.

And likely forevermore too. $10 to cross the lake round trip, increasing faster than inflation.

A $5 billion cost overrun is a decent possibility. That's about $20K for every worker in Seattle.

For a 1 bedroom? Wow, guess I'm out of the loop on that.

I didn't support a surface street because it would have stop lights, in which case it wouldn't begin to replace the viaduct. (For some reason the US can't have Germany-style street…

It could hardly have been more obvious that the cut and cover option (trench with a lid "tunnel") was the best choice for the public.

Which isn't worth much in some states, like Texas.

And if it goes to trial, the jury's likely to think in terms of compromising on the multitude of charges (rather than outright rejection), in which case the defendant still goes to…

That's a nice chunk but insufficient nowadays. (The 24-year old in that article might've been able to make several $million in his remaining career.) The Lyft driver could still en…

Why would it? If you enlarge the scale and find that the principle applies, it's useful.

You never get outside the universe, if it's infinitely large (and there's no evidence to the contrary).

The principle is meant to apply only at a sufficiently large scale. If any particular scale goes against the principle, one can enlarge the scale to see if the principle still appl…

Devil's advocate: She may be as high as she is because of those false credentials, and Amazon might keep her because she's profitable. Falsifying credentials may have a greater ave…

Good thinking to be considering the demand. Why not a remote job? Also consider the trend. There's a site that ranks language popularity on a periodic basis.

Degrees are only HR filters. Businesses often care more about profit than principles, so many of them don't care about lies that don't lower profits.

Work teaching is generally efficient. If you're told anything at all, that is; more often you have to ask if you can't figure it out yourself. You can say "I got it, I'll take it f…

For some, there's a stronger argument against college: you mentally can't abide being taught. Those people need to learn on their own, and for software development there's little r…

Good story! No one asks about my lack of degree. I don't have an education section on my resume. If they did ask, I'd ask in return how exactly it would matter to getting the work …

There are two types of those: learners and thinkers. The latter have difficulty doing busy work at any speed.

In this case the analogy is: You can ride around on a motorcycle with a helmet that has a "certified" sticker, or no sticker. Same helmet.

If you're convinced you can make better use of your time without college, quit! You could see what the market offers for your current skills, then decide. Work your ass off at enjo…
