Bullshit! This has everything to do with morals. This is a classic example of "just because you can do something does not mean you should". This is what has been lost in peoples pursuit of greed. And THAT is a moral issue.
Unless you are saying the person did not actually benefit from this and donated everything to the less fortunate. Which I highly doubt from a list of his assets.
I would bet he had an "inkling" of the consequences, he just didn't care. And that is the disturbing part. Moral abandonment should never be an excuse to make a living no matter the rewards.
Ponce is the only ship of the United States Navy that is named for Ponce in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, which in turn was named after the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León, the first governor of Puerto Rico and the European discoverer of Florida.
This is why one should never signed a non-compete clause of ANY contract that did not stipulate that one would be compensated for the time frame that one could not compete. Anybody who accepts a non compete without any compensation in any profession is not thinking it out clearly or just doesn't care. Either way it is not very smart to sign your rights away to not be allowed to make a living.
You trusted Google? What the heck are you thinking? fascism noun fascism \fa-shi-zm also fa-si-\
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Uh huh. You haven't paid much attention to the evolution of education in the US, I see. What you describe is exactly what was done in the early through mid 20th century. It's actually gradually evolving away from rote learning (which is good).
Not so sure about the time frame on that one. Watched nieces and nephews go through school and actually helped them with their math and science. They were still teaching it the same way they taught me back in my days (latter part of 20th century). With one exception, they really emphasized the aptitude tests they perform though out the school year. So most high schools just taught them how to take the test instead of teaching them things they needed to know.
In any case, we're not talking about public education, we're talking about higher education. Entirely different kettle of fish. If your university focused on rote memorization, then you got seriously shortchanged... and your education was not typical of US higher education, not even in community colleges.
Yea, I guess that would depend upon the institution that one attends. Some do provide different teaching methods. Which I believe that is what is in question with the article. Some believe they are not achieving the desire result of the "independent thought" and are just regurgitating what their professors are telling them. I have also had some professors try and influence some subject matter.
I have a feeling that the definition of right/left is different in the US than in Europe. While left does have a tendency towards socialism more than the right, both seem to be towards capitalism on the economical standpoint. On the social standpoint they show the right seems to go more towards authoritarian than the left. This is what is baffling. How do you become MORE authoritarian when you want a SMALLER, LESS POWERFUL central government. That definition make zero sense.
I see the flaw in your logic. You are making the assumption that just because they are "educated" they are gaining the ability to illicit independent thought. This is the crux of the article and its conclusion as well (which I disagree with). This is the biggest issue with our basic public education system as well. We no longer teach, we just make them memorize everything and then never really teach them how or why and a lot of times when to use the information provided. In other words, we do not reinforce the concept of "just because you can do something does not necessarily mean you should". That is what has been lost in modern US education systems.
Agreed, but the method in which you interact is key. I have also interrupted said "bouncer" stating "Could I get back to you" as well as participated when interrupted. It depends on the circumstance.
I used to work for a company that had a 4 day work week back in late 1990's, it kind of went like this:
Old CEO: "We need new talent, offer a four day work week"
Yes, HP, Yahoo, IBM and the rest ARE WRONG. The management needs to find another method to justify spending multi-million dollar lease agreements for their corner offices.
You are more than likely an extrovert. You require that physical face to face to feel that you accomplished something. There is NOTHING that can not be done locally that can not also be done remotely (physical labor excluded). Everything you described in your comments CAN and ARE accomplished remotely just as well as when you are physically located in an office building.
Frustrating is not the word that you should be using for your 3 meeting pull ins. That is disruption from your primary task (also called chaos).
I see this as not so much as a collaboration issue but a management issue. There should be no reason why they could not contact you with technology that is currently available today to discuss an issue. There are people who must have that face to face interaction in order for them to participate in a project. I never understood that, but they do exist. I have worked on projects that have done both, remote and local, and saw no difference in the outcome. Some people just NEED to physically be there to be happy about the outcome. Me not so much. I find most human interaction distracting when performing my primary job function. I usually ignore them anyway when in the office.
I was kind of wondering where your comment was going.... until the second paragraph kicked in. Yea, I believe you are correct that our public education system has become something other than what most desire. We have seen where the "everyone gets a trophy" mentality will lead us. We have seen where the "No one left behind" will lead us. It did nothing to prepare the next generation for the realities of life.
As for the US, UK, Japan not being there in the future. I will disagree with that statement. We wouldn't have been in existence if we continued down the path we were headed. Over 70 % of the voting population did not seem to like the path we were heading and are thoroughly fed up with the way our government is handling things and hasn't been listening to us for quite a few decades. We hope to correct that in the coming years and get rid of the rest of the useless politicians (and they are making it very obvious who they are this year).
I ignored your attempt to promote your globalist ideals on open borders in your last statement as that is not a solution, but a patch. I would prefer that we correct our own problems and then maybe we can come out and play with the rest of the kids.
And that is not even taking into account all the scientific advancements that were gleaned from it which has made everyone's life easier and more comfortable. NASA a waste of taxpayers money? I THINK NOT!
Now if only we can get Congress to step up to the ROI ratio of NASA.
Uuuuh, we did. Unixware 2.X with an external 500MB framebuffer back in the early 90's. If you would initiate a rapid update to cursor position it would cause the XServer to crash as the current technology could not keep up with the physical interface of the day. Also realize back then, an 8MB SIMM was considered huge and somewhat expensive (400 USD/8MB SIMM). .
Depends on what type of font it is and what file format the document was saved. Basically, there are 4 main types of font format used this day and age. Raster, Vector, TrueType, and Postscript (there is a newer one called OpenType which is TrueType with Postscript support). Here is a pretty good explanation So this I believe would be dependent on the word processor application and how it handles the different types of font formats. Since the font MAY be embedded in the document, the word processor will have to recognize it from the list of format from above. If it can't then I suppose that the word processor would warn the user that the document format could not be recognized and ask them if they would like to convert (fix) said document (at least one would hope it would ask).
If you used Open Office and saved as a Word 97 document I would think that you would not run into the issue of it defaulting to Calibri. If saved as an RTF document it is possible that may be your culprit.

Wow, now that is the response I would not have expected... until I looked at your user name. Then I went "Oh"..

Economically, yes he was.
Now back to your rebuttal.

You are correct. I saw illicit after the post and went "oh crap"
I have a feeling that the definition of right/left is different in the US than in Europe.

On the social standpoint they show the right seems to go more towards authoritarian than the left. This is what is baffling.

Considering that you posted AC you deserve the typical response. STFU TROLL.
And No, Trump University was NEVER an accredited institution. Thus it was a business and not a real institution of higher learning.
I see the flaw in your logic. You are making the assumption that just because they are "educated" they are gaining the ability to illicit independent thought.

A correct response to that is "Kardash.... WHO?"
WRONG! We need less sheeple. We need MORE independent thought which is the true nature of a higher education.
Agreed, but the method in which you interact is key. I have also interrupted said "bouncer" stating "Could I get back to you" as well as participated when interrupted. It depends on the circumstance.
I used to work for a company that had a 4 day work week back in late 1990's, it kind of went like this:
Old CEO: "We need new talent, offer a four day work week"
New Employees: YAY!
New CEO: "Where is everyone on a Friday morning?"
Old Employees: "Four day work week"
You see where this is going?
Now that is an interesting idea. I have done that from a Starbucks, but a pub sounds more pleasant.
Yes, HP, Yahoo, IBM and the rest ARE WRONG. The management needs to find another method to justify spending multi-million dollar lease agreements for their corner offices.
That is not the fault of the location in which the project is being created, that is the management of the project that is lacking.

Might be conducive to you, but you are distracting others from their work when you interrupt them with your "bouncing".
I see this as not so much as a collaboration issue but a management issue.

On another note, I am agnostic.
