"We’ve made a habit out of telling people not to read the comments online. But what started as a cynical in-joke has become a bad habit, and an excuse for enabling abuse across the web."

Just pointing out that while comments are terrible, it's Huffington Post that enables them to happen unchecked.

When you're looking at an install base that's nearly twice the size, that doesn't strike me as "too late" for anything. Sure, we can all read the tea leaves and want to get ahead of the curve and all that, but hitting the apex line on a tight curve is far different from just turning way too early and plowing into the guardrail on a straightaway.

This is a pretty common notion among those who have gone to college or are planning to. It's also definitely not true. While the latter part is, college degrees are often expected, I don't think anyone can frame ~30% of the adult population as any sort of overwhelming majority.

That said, the relative effects of the consistent increase in supply of college educated adults has clearly had an effect on the job market, and Bachelor's degrees are increasingly used as filters in hiring where they may not have been before, but it's fairly common to take this data point and extrapolate into unwarranted places, like arbitrarily reducing the number of people who go to college to enforce scarcity.

Oh goodness

Reading back a bit into your blog, you're clearly aware of the advantages you have had, and are trying to “not to be one of those people.” Just try to be aware that laying things out in overly broad blog posts about common sense networking techniques does not quite count as not being one of those people. Not that it's not good advice, but I think there are far more valuable uses of your time than trying to generalize from your experience and evangelize. Acknowledge your advantage, but don't assume that telling people to do the things that were successful with that advantage, maybe try to work against the systems that systemically give advantage to a select few while ignoring most.

Sorry for what has turned into a pseudo-lecture, you're doing good things, keep doing them. Just stay cognizant, that's all I ask =)

These things that are commonly understood to literally define the word inequality and are direct symptoms of it, yes those actually have nothing to do with inequality. Trust me, I own a dictionary. Don't look it up.
