The career potential and earnings could also be factored in to put a control on junk degrees.
High school in the US is mostly useless since most have to relearn everything as a frosh in college so why not cut it down to two years and maybe make it an extension of grammar school.
If there were truth in advertising the current IBM would be called Infernal Business Machines.
The Neo-con management that hijacked IBM in the 90's has turned it into a funnel for bonuses for executives at the expense of its (former) customers and its employees.
During Obama's first run the DNC was concerned about Hillary splitting the ticket so a deal was cut with the Clinton's that included the SOS appointment and the nomination when Obama's 2nd term was up. You could tell the fix was in as usually there are usually many candidates to throw their hat in the ring and this is whittled down quickly. This past DNC nomination was unusual in that there were so few to come forward especially since there are so many better candidates than Hillary in the DNC. Bernie would have run against Satan and he gave the nomination process an air of legitimacy but he was not supposed to win. He did far better then he should have as which is why he is enjoying his new $500k vacation home the DNC/Clinton's gave him to go away. After the nomination was completed much of the DNC committee resigned to avoid any potential fraud charges.
The thing is that Trump did not win, Hillary lost.
By nominating her the DNC gave most no choice, she was practically the worst candidate to nominate.
Too much corruption and too polarizing for no good reason.
“this is a man whohas said women don’t deserve equal pay unless they do as good a job as men.” - Hillary Clinton on how Trump is a sexist
It is interesting that there seem to be no consideration for Citizen Four even though arguably what Manning did was worse and was done with less than noble reasons.
Maybe it is just that the big O has that much of a hard-on for Assange after WikiLeaks revealed how corrupt his good buddy Hillary and the DNC is
Electric car usage just moves the fuel use up to the power plant.
There are efficiencies of scale but there is no good way to store electricity so all electricity on the grid is either used or wasted. There are also losses with conversion and distance. Then there are the batteries which are expensive and have a short lifetime compared to the auto that they are in. Much of the battery is recyclable but there are costs to the environment for both manufacturing the new car, the battery and disposal for the battery. Usability is another factor, while ranges are getting longer these are not real world as they do not take into account temperature, traffic patterns, battery age etc. I'd like to see a real alternative that does not crap all over the environment but the current crop of electrics are not it.

IBM and others are looking at big money in surveillance.
Things like Watson were not built to explore or advance AI (though they may have had that effect).
Watson was built to provide meaningful, timely answers using the giant pile of data various corporations and government entities are collecting on everyone.
IBM has had brain drain since Neo-Con management has taken over, gutting the company in a desperate race toward a Nike model where the corporation is reduced to, IP, executives and lawyers with outside contractors doing everything else.
I think, given who the IBM target company is, I feel our purpose is to be essential to our clients. - Ginni Rometty
New data reveals that 86% of the total H1B visas issued in 2014 for technology firms was used to hire IT professionals from India.
The data accessed by Computerworld through Right of Information Act, reveals that a lion share of visas issued for computer jobs are claimed by Indians.
So obviously there is categorical information for national origin and the H1B programs need more diversity...
If CEOs insist that middle class Americans compete with cheap foreign labor, why not outsource the jobs of CEOs? If business is all about cost, they should be the first to volunteer.— Lou Dobbs, CNN financial correspondent and author of Exporting America (September 2004)
Anyone remember Mt Gox?
It announced that around 850,000 bitcoins belonging to customers and the company were missing and likely stolen, an amount valued at more than $450 million at the time. Although 200,000 bitcoins have since been "found", the reason(s) for the disappearance—theft, fraud, mismanagement, or a combination of these—were initially unclear. New evidence presented in April 2015 by WizSec led them to conclude that "most or all of the missing bitcoins were stolen straight out of the MtGox hot wallet over time, beginning in late 2011."
I think a Achilles heal with BT is always going to be the exchanges where it suffers the same weaknesses as bank faith currencies.
It funny that President Obama felt no need for retaliation when Hillary Clinton as SOS allow the tacit Russian Federation purchase of strategic resources like uranium mines in the US and Canada following healthy speaking fees for Bill and donations to the Clinton (crime) Foundation.
Billions of tax dollars went to purchase electronic voting machines that were designed to be hacked.
If they were hacked perhaps the real issue was that they were hacked by the wrong people?
That is a bit presumptuous since there is plenty of evidence that Hillary loaded the State Department with her people and one of the first things Obama did was appoint people of the appropriate race at the head of just about every department.
We expect Obama, the "intelligence" community, the glitterati and everyone else pretending to care to go back to not caring who hacks the US on Tuesday.
Tuesday nights are sushi nights, so we go out then.

Nah, have you ever been in a college dorm?
Besides high school is not supposed to be daycare
Why waste 4 years of the kids life with high school when freshman and sophomore years are identical to high school?

Unfortunately the data collected serves many masters but none of them is the public.
It's not just Trump's administration either, every political hack and self serving special interest generates data that suits their purposes.

This way SpaceX can more efficiently smash rockets into the ground to get those NASA and US taxpayer dollars even faster!

Hillary was amazingly popular with the deceased demographic.
Billions of tax dollars went to purchase electronic voting machines that were designed to be hacked. If they were hacked perhaps the real issue was that they were hacked by the wrong people?
What about Uranium One? The Clinton Foundation acted as a fence to buy State Department approval of uranium mine sales to a Russian concern.
That is a bit presumptuous since there is plenty of evidence that Hillary loaded the State Department with her people and one of the first things Obama did was appoint people of the appropriate race at the head of just about every department.
