Maybe I'm just old, but I never got the appeal. I find it hard to believe Snapchat has more social value than Twitter, but that's just my opinion.

I never truly understood the quadratic formula until I learned about the history of the equation and its discoverer. History of Mathematics should be a fundamental course.

I'm okay with this assessment. College doesn't guarantee these skills, but it certainly provides a great deal of opportunity for the student to gain a significant advantage over non-college grads.

Any psychometric test designed to measure achievement--or explicitly critical thinking--that can be administered pre and post college to an experimental sample. You might have to do factor analysis on the college/setting and/or program studied.

MD5 hash? Jesus...

Agreed.

His policies seem to change based on who is in the room with him, so I guess it's best to get the right people in that room.

Even if you don't have a degree in your field, college offers an opportunity to enhance your own critical thinking and problem solving abilities, which are paramount to success in some fields.

Also, one has to consider the shifts in education that seem to be focused more on graduation rates than quality graduates. In such a situation, graduate school becomes the new undergrad, and undergrad becomes the new high school degree. This isn't everywhere, but that seems to be the general trend across many markets: a four year degree is become a minimum qualification.

Super idealistic and optimistic, but an interesting thought experiment nonetheless. It's unfortunate that modern economic obsession with "growth" as an eternal endgame is a hard addiction to break.

I think this is why indie magazines are starting to thrive in their niche; even younger readers are appreciating the aesthetic and value of print as a resource AND art form.

That's my concern with converting my home. Thermostat, lights, security, plugs, etc. Would hate to have to replace it all shortly down the road.

Definitely feels like a variation of Shadowrun.

Local team blackouts on streaming services like MLB.tv are the only thing keeping most people (who don't understand proxies and VPNs) from cutting live TV.
