The reason they go after students and not those others is a simple matter of efficacy. The students might have (a) the potential to produce value and earn and (b) the moral fiber to compell them to do so. Those other leeches you mention are normally incompetents incapable of anything but sucking the blood of others, and to pursue them would only lead to having to support them in prison.
The very concept of "investment" is a fallacy, which we are all being forced to face. People are going to have to go back to "making" as opposed to simply "getting" money. Time to wake up and smell the hog's feet.
My karma is clean. I never got any of the free money, and thankfully I'm finally earning.
Folks seem pretty on board with this, but this one

just made me laugh:
"Another method, which works very well in some places, is to allow people to attend gratis but charge for a certificate of attendance. If the certificate is given by an educational institution, many will find it useful for career advancement,..."
Wow, I would just love to find me one of those careers that would be helped by this RMS certificate THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR!!! lol
I'm not sure about the equation, but I don't like how the article is worded.
It is true that an isolated oil molecule would form van der Waals interactions with water, however those interactions are more energetically favorable with other oil molecules. It has to do with minimizing the surface free energy (ie. unsatisfied association interactions) of the system. There is less unsatisfied association interaction for oil molec + oil molec vs oil molec + H2O.
This seems like bs:
"Yet as high school chem students learn, the set of weak intermolecular forces call van der Waal forces suggest that there’s no reason for the compounds not to attract each other."
Yes. This is not scientization of anything. This is just lying about the scientific findings, saying the science said no, when the science said yes. If anything, the descientization.
I guess the (journalistic method) more remarkable the revelation, the less closely you are supposed to examine it.
Discovery: "My goodness, we've discovered birds flying upside down under water!"
Appropriate response: "Hmmm, remarkable!"
Excellently true, though important corollary also pray god your users are not contemptible. If they are, RUN!!!!!
I concur with others it is not too bookable. It is mostly common sense (and RESPECT*). Second corollary, pray god your DEVELOPERS have basic common sense.
*What sustains you to work your way through to a good process.
what was the creative process (ie. dialog, filming, set design, etc.) like at TOS? Did it follow specializations (regimented), or was it more of an open format, collaborative effort? Best TV show of all time. Thanks.
/. to descend, since the exit of CmdrTaco, and I think this is about the closest I've seen to that. (Up to now, it hasn't been too bad.) This seems pretty pulpy, what with all the commenters chanting "descend on Mexican drug cartels NOW".
likely never have heard, and that by no means limited to tech stuff. Great science, stuff of political and cultural import. Reminds me of cruel site of the day, but less nasty. Has kept me sane and functioning (particularly the former) while at work. By providing pleasant diversion, I believe it has made me more productive. Good luck and many thanks!
You don't really say what technologies you're working in (not familiar with 'UX', but from your mentioning Ruby, I would assume web and would thus recommend javascript. It has a C-like syntax, and is really the central technology of web applications. From there you could also go to php, which also has a C-like syntax. If you really get sucked into it, at some point you'll probably want to take some C for completeness. PERL also has a C-like syntax, with a lot of other quirkier elements. It is probably strongest for the stuff it does best, which does not include web apps.
Some above posters are right that you might not want to get directly involved in the nuts and bolts of your current projects. However, I think it is imperative that you either (A) learn to program some or (B) be willing to trust a lot of what your developers are telling you implicitly on faith. The best technical manager I have had knew how to program, and he was very smart, though ultimately, he could not ultimately allow himself to get into it much, I presume, because of his other duties, or, perhaps, because he was a bit of a chickenshit. Still, he knew what that stuff involves, which somehow (conscience?) seemed to block him from trying to bullshit or steamroller you too much.

Because it gives the vigilant ones "wood". They're like serial erotic stalkers turned inside out.

Per the above "no these couldn't", what I find amazing is that anyone's even following this.
Even prior to cmdrtaco's departure, I noticed this site's tendency to post things thought provoking, though stupid.

how would they even know???
That's like trying to outlaw a cop being secretly in a coffee shop, secretly eating a donut!!!
Yep, you can tell the recovery is in full swing when helium skills demand is sky-rocketing.
