Part of the academic "crisis" is that people are catching on and mere attendance is no longer a golden ticket.

And just like monetary inflation devalues money, grade inflation devalues the worth of a degree. So you're spending much more for something worth much less.
but, those schools have such competitive admissions
Patently false. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to bloat up their CS program so quickly the lat few years. It's not like all of a sudden people applying are 3x better than they were just a couple of years ago.
Given that this whole mess will decrease the value of a degree from Stanford, you might be better off looking elsewhere. After all, why pay a premium for a "name" that is in the process of trashing its' brand?
Those are both pretty big players. Don't be surprised if someone builds an Android-compatible smartphone atop FreeBSD, just to get away from Google's stranglehold.
Remember those incredibly flexible poles used for pole-vaulting? The ones that bent like crazy, then straightened to boost the pole-vaulter to unheard-of heights.
A biological system expends chemical energy to maintain a static position. Sure, sitting expends no energy -- assuming the person is modeled as a perfect sphere...
For a lot of people, a sphere is a pretty good first approximation.
The US government can legally restrict goods coming in from Cuba, but the American people are not theirs to command. There is no constitutional authority for the federal government to prohibit us from visiting Cuba and spending money there.

On issues that the constitution is silent, the feds can do what they want.
Also, trade treaties are reserved to the feds under the constitution.
The real choice for years has been to visit canada, open a bank account, and get a canadian credit card. Canada has been flying tourists to cuba for years, and canadian credit cards work there, even when their american equivalent doesn't.
I've been in situations where ABS has stupidly allowed all 4 wheels to freewheel because it was almost all ice, and it doesn't react re-enable the brake fast enough when you hit a small patch with some traction potential. My only choice the last time was to accelerate through a red light (w/o abs I would have been able to stop).
I guess you've never experienced good public transport. I have 2 bus stops within a 3-minute walk, the buses at the transfer points are pretty well synchronized (I often literally get off one bus and get into the other with no waiting), subways are a maximum wait of 7 minutes during the off hours, 3 minutes during rush hours, the connecting bus to my final destination is often either about to pull up or already waiting when I get out, and it drops me off at the corner I need to get to.
Sure, it takes a bit longer, but by the time you throw in finding a parking spot, maybe 10 minutes more.
Why would anyone want to drive from the suburbs into the city when it's so accessible with no hassles?
If this was going to be posted at all, it should have been yesterday, as yet another April Fools joke. "Yeah, yeah, you fooled us into reading an article with zero content. Ha ha April Fools."

" I am not looking to collect money at any time during distribution."
Not when you can get kickbacks from the products and people you interview.
Someone should send them a birthday cake.
The baker refused to bake it because of some religious believe about GNU, and is now retired thanks to 842,592 on gofundme. Suckahs!

No, it gave 4 virtual desktops on the same machine, the same user, the same login session.
I remember that! Pretty cool. I miss the old Borland.
It only works while walking on level ground, so probably not all that good for backpacking.
Why would anyone adopt the Linux kernel (encumbered by the GPL) when they can use (and sell) the unencumbered FreeBSD one free?
Apple built OS X upon FreeBSD
Sony built the playstation 4 upon BSD.
Those are both pretty big players. Don't be surprised if someone builds an Android-compatible smartphone atop FreeBSD, just to get away from Google's stranglehold.
You cannot say the same for Windows 3.1 or 95 to W8.
Absolutely not true. You can make the desktop the default when you log in instead of that gimpy tile interface.
Or they can pull and apple / playstation 4 and go with FreeBSD.
Windows 10 has multiple desktops.
So did XP and every release since. You had to download it from Microsoft (included in Windows Power Tools, iirc).
If they're using Linux technologies that we can't play with,
Anyone can "play with" Linux.

A better way would be to just lose 10 pounds. Not only is there that much less weight to carry around, but you'll increase your endurance, etc.
Declare war on Mars! All of a sudden, the budget will be 40x larger!

How is this news? Do Yalies suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect?
Your buses don't have an app to let you see when the next bus is coming for a particular stop?
