It's the same as being on a public street and stating "my students are dumb as bricks" while those students are standing right near by to hear it. It's not good.
It would be bad for the teacher to say in class "you're all a bunch of idiots and you are simply too stupid for this to be worth the effort" even if it's true, because that would negatively impact the teacher's ability to teach the class. Saying it on a blog has the same problem because the students can access her blog. Saying it to a friend is not as bad, unless the students are close enough to hear.
Wait, physically pushing other stock brokers would prevent them from trading in a legal way? That's insane! Though that should result in a division of labor where the clever guy tells the brute idiot to go actually perform the trades. Like the military you don't let the grunts run the show. If they were all professional wrestlers it might be fun to go the stock exchange just to watch the fights.
The point of Google's complaint was not that IE was tracking users - after all Google does that too in many ways. The point was that through tracking IE users while they interacted with the Google search site, Microsoft was in effect transferring search results from Google's search engine to Bing.
The Egypt situation hasn't turned into a bloodbath because the military has refused to fire on protesters leaving Mubarak few options. Put yourself in a a soldier's place. Would you fire on a relatively peaceful and unarmed mob of your own countrymen, even if you didn't agree with what they were yelling? On the other hand, would you fire on a unit of heavily armed gunmen looking to take any opposition in their path down with gunfire including you? A US revolution would turn out much worse than Egypt has so far. Your gun-toting crazy-brigade wouldn't last 5 seconds against a real military and unlike in Egypt their behavior would provoke the US military into action against you.
Nearly everything that a "teacher" calls cheating is an accepted practice in the business world.
That heavily suggests that cheating isn't so bad because the same activity would be just fine in the context of business. The basic premise underlying that is that what is good for business is good for education, which is to say that to some extent they should be run in the same way.
You're just purposefully misunderstanding. It is good for the outcome of education to be people that are useful for business. It does not follow that education is best run as business. The purpose of business is not primarily to increase the inherent value of the employees, it is to have them be productive right now. The purpose of education is to increase the value of the students. Different goals that lead to different methods.
Logic fail. I wrote that it is not true that they should have the same goals and methods. It does not follow that they cannot have any goals or methods that happen to coincide. It only follows that there is not a moral or other necessity in them having that. What's it to you?
From context it would make sense if he meant that you can't just get to be friends with the person in charge and then expect that to make up for an inferior product. You can't pull the wool over their eyes by exploiting their ignorance of what you are trying to sell them really does. Because they know what the product is supposed to do in detail and therefore they can spot the issues immediately. He might also mean that Google management smells bad and is hard to communicate with. It's hard to tell.
Lunatic: Let's eliminate cancer by exploding the planet's surface ensuring no survivors! Me: The premise that killing people before they can get cancer is an improvement is absurd. You: You have already an absolute answer and no questions. Care to explain why so many people die from cancer? Is there no problem with our treatment of cancer? Me: WTF?!?
The premise that education and business have the same goals and should work by the same methods is absurd. Business is about being productive, education is about gaining skills and knowledge.
Americans don't want the government to know that they exist, apparently. They have to go door to door asking how many people live in each house in order to even know how many people live in the US. They do it every ten years. No wonder anyone can pretend to be anyone.
Yeah, surely for, say, a software engineer there is no point in getting experience on programming assignments or in understanding stacks, queues, hash maps, binary search trees, O notation and the various concepts of programming languages. Oh no, let's copy it all and pretend that we understand it that way.
In this post you are pretending to be more intelligent than your peers. Let's say that is true. Then you go on to compare your results to your peers, effectively saying that they should just be as intelligent as you are and they could slack off too and be successful. If you are as intelligent as you claim, then those people are not your peers and comparing your results to theirs is under achieving crap. Take you class mates, put them in a menial labor job, and they will more than live up to the cognitive demands of their job. The brain load will be trivial and they'll be laughing at their idiot "peers" who have a hard time understanding that they can use a triangle with sides 3, 4 and 5 to make a right angle. That's you. You're the rich investor bragging about making a million dollars a year yet you're making a 0.5% return on your money - you've just got a lot of it. Your advice is not for following by people who want to do better by what they've got - however much that is. As for what your classmates and even a world genius like you (hmm...) can get out of homework, look at overlearning.
Surely no women are attracted to a man being portrayed everywhere as singlehandedly taking on the corrupt and dastardly of the world, including nations like the US, and being successful at it while having an "up yours" attitude to these powerful forces.
It's not about mere reputation, it's about what the US has actually become when it comes to the treatment of some prisoners. It's not just that the Europeans have a bad impression of the US - the real problem is that that bad impression is accurate. If you doubt that, how about we waterboard you until you change your mind?

There is direct connection between vaccines and antibiotics: the more people are vaccinated, the less will get sick and so less antibiotics will be used. That's even true for diseases for which antibiotics don't even work, as people take them anyway.
I think if things like this are the greatest problem a people ever has with it's government, then that people are doing extremely well. I do think that a thing like this is bad, don't get me wrong, and it's worth fighting it, but let's put this in perspective. Look around the world.
An open mind is about being willing to consider ideas even if you initially think that they are wrong. An open mind is not about having no intelligence to reject bad ideas once you've considered them.

Then her insulting their intelligence will hurt them that much more seeing as it will hit close to home.
You hear about more secrets that were told because the secrets that weren't told are mostly still secrets.

However, they usually also singled out a few assignments that were to be done completely solo.
I can tell you right now that many of the students didn't actually do those assignments solo. I don't need any context to tell you that.
The whole idea of penalizing people for using the internet to produce answers in today's world sounds silly now doesn't it?
Not when they are being tested for whether they are able to produce such answers instead of just consuming them it doesn't.

Knowing what I now know, I'd buy Google stock well before they got into the black.
