When I was in college, the doctor told me I had a bladder infection and gave me antibiotics. I then took the train to see my parents for Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving dinner, I had the urgent need to pee. Standing over the toilet, I watched something big moving slowly through my penis like a snake swallowing a chicken egg. When the stone popped out into the toilet, all this blood, pus and urine rushed out nonstop for ten minutes. After I flushed the toilet, I never felt so better. Passing a kidney stone is the closest that a man will come to delivering a baby.
But all studies show that education is one of the strongest links to success that exist, and lack of education one of the strongest correlations of failure and poverty.
For entrepreneurs, a little education is better than too much education.
Wow, 100.. That makes it less likely than winning the lottery.
Students are trained to beat the test (i.e., always having the right answer), which inhibits risk-taking because they don't want to be failures. Students who are already considered failures by the education system aren't afraid to take risks. You can't succeed in business unless you're willing to take risk and hire people smarter than you.
Back in the 1960's, corporations had training programs. The bean counters in the 1980's eliminated everything that didn't add value directly to the bottom line. The cost of training people to become employees got shifted to the public school and colleges. These days you need a college degree to get hired on as a filing clerk.
I have a friend whose niece got sent to New York City to become a Broadway musical star at $30K per semester. She spent four years at college, had bit roles in off Broadway productions during the summers, and, the summer after graduation, she came home after being unable to find a Broadway job. She now works at Staples and performs in local productions — just like she did before Daddy dropped a quarter-million in cash on her education. Meanwhile, Daddy and Mommy are disappointed that they won't be getting free tickets to Broadway musicals in their retirement years.
Please point me to one person in the past 100 years that achieved success with exactly no education at all and no help from anyone else.
A successful person doesn't have to be the smartest person in the room. Here's a list of 100 entrepreneurs who succeeded with little or no education, including a half-dozen who dropped out of elementary school.
Your info is already scattered all over the Internet from previous data breaches. It's cheaper to do nothing than build infrastructure that won't add to the CEO's annual bonus.
Even in those early days of AltaVista and Lycos I can't ever recall using Yahoo.
I can't ever recall using AltaVista and Lycos. Of course, I came late to the Internet GUI scene. My first five years on the Internet was on a dial-up SLIP account into a UNIX box and using Lynx (text web browser) to browse the Internet.
The assumptions I'm making are the most-generous most in-your-favor assumptions I can reasonable make.
Your assumptions are shit.
I'm pretty sure you'd be an asshole no matter where you worked.
Someone has to get the job done.
And from the pissing and moaning you've done here in the past about your help desk gigs and difficulty finding jobs after being outsourced, I'm pretty sure the "highly paid" thing is just about as real as your "75 pounds of muscle gained in just a year."
I've never been outsourced from any job in the last 20+ years of my IT career. I'm a contractor. I do contract work. The contract can last one day to one year. I'm currently two years into a five-year contract for government IT that's fully paid for by your tax dollars. That also includes paid federal holidays, 20 Paid Time Off (PTO) days, healthcare/dental/vision and 401k. If the Republicans shut down the government tomorrow, I'll still be working since I'm an essential employee.
Trump made the electoral college relevant and not in his favor
His populism attracts new people to his cause.
He will need 70% of the white male vote to overcome the minority and women vote. Reagan had 67% in 1980. Romney had 62% in 2012. Since he's an equal opportunity offender, he doesn't have much wiggle room.
If Hillary has another major medical event, it's game over.
Hillary could drop dead but Trump still won't win the election.
Based on the history of "war crimes trials", that should come just after Iraq invades the US, conquers it, and occupies it.
A special prosecutor should have been called the day after Obama got sworn into office in 2009. I can understand why Obama didn't want to pursue the issue, especially since the country was still in the middle of the Great Recession. Victory or not, it doesn't excused killing a million Iraqis for non-existent nuclear WMDs.
Average newbie can expect to gain 1-2 pounds per month of muscle, assuming sufficient nutrition and hardcore training.
You're making another assumption. When I worked at a restaurant job for three years in my early twenties, I rode my bicycle 20 miles per day. My average weight during that time was 325 pounds. Today my legs are still all muscle.
There is no way that a 1500 calorie per day diet is providing "sufficient" nutrition for you to gain 1-2 pounds per month of muscle, even over a couple months.
I'm trying to LOSE WEIGHT, not GAIN MUSCLE. I reduced my calorie intake to 1,500 calories per day and lost a few pounds.
Here's a free tip: If you are 5'10, and weigh 348 pounds, and are not an exceedingly well paid professional athlete, you are fat.
Of course, I'm fat. That's why I'm on a diet and work out at gym. I'm also a highly paid asshole, which is why I work in IT.
[...] so it's less urgent to press charges against them than it is against Clinton [...]
She's guilty of being a master politician. But that's not a criminal offense.
[...] who has a terrifyingly good shot at becoming President soon.
She has an excellent chance of becoming president. Trump needs to win Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. If he loses any one of these states, it's game over. Florida can go either way, no Republican had won the presidency without Ohio, and the last time Pennsylvania elected a Republican president was 1988. Trump isn't doing a damn thing to win any of these states.

Uniformed opinions?
Not all opinions are based on facts. Donald Trump is a perfect example of that.
uninformed opinions is turning our cops into blathering idiots.
FTFY

Do you always refer to parents as "Mommy and Daddy" or just when you're being a condescending dick?
Only when I'm an asshole (which is why I work in IT).

Yahoo was a rather lame index.
That must have been the three years or so that Google provided search results for Yahoo under contract.
That would require you to first remove your political/ideological blinders and we all know that ain't about to happen.
Which "political/ideological blinders" would those be?
Who else could claim ownership of the US "our country"?
Mexico. Next question?
Trump has added new swing states.
That doesn't seem likely.
The old political formula is dead.

Its revenge for all the damage that 1st worlders inflicted on the world. Payback is a bitch.
