To become financially independent so I have time to change the world for the better.

I play one of these silly online games. The draw is simple: my friends play it and it only takes a few minutes a day to move forward. I'm close to ditching it though because they'v…

But if everyone in the world considered issues rationally, then everyone would be smarter, no?

It is, but if both remain silent they get a smaller penalty than if both rat on each other.

This is ridiculous. Once the children are off school property they no longer have a teacher/child relationship. The teacher is a citizen at that point and should have the same reco…

After you've already tried all the other channels? Then you're no longer an anonymous whistle blower.

No, you can have things you want to hide and that's fine. Unless you're a powerful government trying to hide your own illegal (or should-be-illegal) activities.

None of this has anything to do with Wikileaks. They are exposing things that are obvious cases of corruption. How are we helping the largely imaginary terrorists if we expose a CI…

Which is just one more way that the US school system is an insane caricature of real life.

So as soon as the US classifies something it is no longer valid, in your view, for anyone to show it? I guess they can do whatever they like then! Just classify everything that wou…

>Would you publish nuclear launch codes? Afaik, wikileaks has never been about publishing launch codes. It's about revealing cover ups and there should be no government cover ups. …

If you want to be a really incredible programmer you need to spend time programming, but that isn't remotely required to be successful, even in programming. For example, I wouldn't…

>Or a better major. Perhaps you're making the mistake of letting your chosen career dictate your choice of classes. The universal secret to school is: Take the best classes you can…

Except that prison is almost exclusively bad and marriage doesn't have to be. For example, someone did a study a while back to prove that married men were happier then unmarried me…

Well, given that they're connecting through VMs that run in other countries...

It's pretty cultural. The contract is a two way street. Most people don't do what you describe because they wouldn't want the company doing it to them. People probably also worry a…

They knew Star wars was Scifi. What would the effect be if they joined to be part of something cool to find out it was nonsense?

On this site, downvote doesn't mean "disagree", it means you violated some etiquette.

I don't know how much you owed, but was it worth it to pay the loans off so fast? It seems there must have been something more valuable a large sum of money could have done for you…

Wow. Where I am, the notice is 2-3 months and contractual so there is no negotiating it. Personally, I would tell the person "Go ahead and go now, and we'll just continue to pay yo…

Good advice. I just had to do this recently and morale is pretty low where I'm at. Everyone was saying "so did you complain about ?". All were shocked when I said "no, I had nothin…

I would agree and I wish the world was like that. All I can say is: don't ever go near a "right to work" state.

I haven't found it so bad and I'm not great at networking. I just use consulting agencies, that's the only way I've ever had any luck. It's easier to get into a company via someone…

Ok, so if she comes to work for you she's in good shape. In the real world, however, when a jackal sees a gazelle it doesn't care if it has "pouty eyes" or not. Meat is meat, the e…

Java as well.
