^^^ This is why you don't want to be the employer of people on their first trip around the SDLC. I bet AC draws a check in positive numbers of dollars, despite the wreckage in his wake.
On the other hand, you had Swing. When Sun won a victory over MS and got Sun Java included in Windows, I said MS should retaliate by also including Swing. Use Swing to render the Sun logo at startup...Provide instructions so users could disable the whole mess and have a machine that was usable in less than 10 minutes.
Clusterfucks have always existed. Pick the right tool for the job. Old advice but still valid. Avoid magic bullets, they are always bullshit.
Who owns the 'means of production'? People with money? It's capitalist.
It might be a low bar, but it's one that socialist states don't make. The key flaw in socialism remains excessive concentration of power. There is no fix.
Sure, I've supervised many PhDs from places like CERN. They were writing database code, feeding LP solvers, it was a step UP from the usual post doc work.
It's a great recruiting pool. A good percentage have the chops to become engineers (trolling Sheldon).
Sure, I counter you anecdote with all the useless PhDs I've worked with over the years. Better than MBAs, but only when they're working in their field. PhDs outside their fields are a big problem in my experience.
3x? bullshit on that. In fact, in Engineering, the average industry starting salary for Masters degrees is higher than for PhDs. PhDs are overspecialized.
Just FYI. American schools do pretty well with better students, which isn't really a surprise, good students are easy.
It's our bottom 20% that fuck the average. They're functionally illiterate and innumerate. Bottom half+ are innumerate, but that's no problem for liberal arts majors.
Chinese grad students are still coming to the USA, just not in the numbers previously seen, going only to better schools.
Qualified American STEM students skip grad school because they want the money, now.
It's a fair cop. I do have contempt for courts. Particularly the ones with no jurisdiction, but not only.
If I were Uber, I'd fax them a copy of my junk. Go 'no presence, except drivers' in many nations. It's tough to be a 'half-outlaw'. Go for it Uber. Create your own payment system to avoid the inevitable attacks on money flows.
Bates College and Bowdoin were _already_ off your list. They lose nothing by admitting (and graduating) even more unqualified students. Reputation is already shit.
The simple fact is almost all liberal arts schools have been ignoring the math and reasoning part of the SAT for many decades. Ignoring the essay and language part is just further expected degradation of standards.
Don't forget: These 'students' become occutards and complain that their four+ year party was expensive. Ignore them, throw McDonalds job apps at them.
Also note: IQ test (the SAT basically is one) are imperfect, but they are very strong/good tests. Best predictor of 'success in life'* know.
*defined as getting the things that you rate 'important'.
Anybody with a substantial inheritance sets up family trust(s), then finally puts liquidity into 'insurance' days before death. They don't pay inheritance taxes, never will. They can afford lawyers and estate planners.
Estate tax is for the middle class, same as all supposed 'rich fucker' taxes. But even there, they are getting smart and putting their assets into family trusts.
Let them have secret courts, but only secret for x years. Give them 1, 50 year secret warrant _application_ a year, 4, 20 year, 10, 10 year the rest 5 year.
Nobody has yet to figure out how to break _single_ use pads. A technology that's so old, it's age is an estimate.
Hell, I'm thinking of setting up a few of lava lamps and a camera, offering a service: Flash drives full of truly random identical data, shipped to any two addresses from different retail shipping sites. Air gapped hardware, of course.
The only potential downside I see: Managers are subject to social pressure. Work could become 'high school', if your employee/manager population is venal enough.
For a bottom line focused office, it should work. For a political type office, no.

Protip: You can drill out your modern shower heads and get decent flow back. The restriction is typically brass, drills like butter.

Too bad about your denial.
You could make the argument in 1945, even in 1960.
But it's a proven fact now. Capitalism has raised over a billion people out of poverty in the last 20 years.

Perhaps you should stay on reddit? They don't allow discussion of uncomfortable facts, you'll fit right in.
Put more clearly: One system counts on human nature and works, one denies it and doesn't.
Of course that's not what you meant. Truth anyhow.
Bullshit. US schools generate about 10x the number of PhDs vs. the number of research positions in academics.
If your going to end up in industry anyhow, why spend the time and effort to politik a committee of self important profs. Get on with it.
Hasn't worked yet. Gypsy cabs are _much_ older than Uber. Fuck you too, bootlicker.

Leftist fail to live up to their supposed ideals. Is this new to you?
Exactly. Certainly better than 'strong central government', based on megadeaths in the 20th century.
That hasn't been my experience. It's the upper managers that make the decisions, the middle managers that act as 'bad guys'.
The best way to get rid of an air thief? Get the competition to recruit him away from you. Not easy, but worth it.
The one that's more trustworthy than CNN or the NYTimes. That James O'Keefe.

No. We should try and neuter the current one first. Get it back to minding it's business, as intended.
We know the euros don't understand 'limited government', don't care.

Bullshit!
In 1938 minimum wage was 25 cents. Adjusted for inflation that's $4.35, in 2015 dollars.

Bullshit. There is plenty of market liquidity without day traders.
Spent it all on hookers and blow. That's my story anyhow, prove it.
Have you ever heard of unintended consequences?

How long would I stay in business?
The only potential downside I see: Managers are subject to social pressure. Work could become 'high school', if your employee/manager population is venal enough.
For a bottom line focused office, it should work. For a political type office, no.
But if your employing 'those kinds', your fucked.
