lol.
they are saying (foil) that EVERYONE at stanford majors in computer science.
of course that isn't true.
they are also saying (foil) that Stanford picks up the best people in computer science.
of course that isn't true -- other universities also pick up quite a few of the people who have shown the most promise thus far.
they select people partly on the basis of major... trying to keep diversity at the university.
it would be useless if you created a silo of computer engineers without creating skilled expertise in other things...
stanford has a pretty good law school. if you wanted to do intellectual property law etc... copyright... people who write up the end user lisence agreements etc. apple... the people who do that kind of stuff. company merger and acquisitions etc around all the companies... management. marketing. hollywood.. computer animation... etc etc etc...
manufacturing... the manufacturing engineers etc etc.
4 year degrees. you have a declared major -- but you also have BREADTH requirements. so that you don't just take one subject. you take a RANGE. so you can talk to graduates of other majors -- because you've studied a bunch of overlapping courses so you have some common background but with different sorts of expertise.
the way we want to do that is to have 1 course that EVERYBODY must do. Everybody has to do the same thing so they are replaceable units.
That's it. That's all there is.
That's why we are stuck. Stagnant.
That's what hollywood has chosen to project.. What NZ has chosen to catch, chosen to embrace...
That it's about huddling in with the herd because any straggler or leader will be first to be culled.
Keep your head down -- else your head will be lopped off.
But mostly... YOu pay you pay you pay you pay you pay you pay you pay you never stop paying never stop paying never stop paying the university!
it's called being a 'lifelong learner' where you pay you pay you pay you pay you pay you pay you pay
and they say you don't even have the capacity to pass a first year essay based course in population health! because what it is that we value is stringing togethe rthe lecturers power point presentation into essay format and finding names for references at the end of every sentance by typing the sentences into google and seeing what names pop out.
this is how we do...
this is how we really don't have anything here.
don't worry... the IT people from overseas can do everything from overseas... They can decide how quickly the people must die. etc.
they can decide what payroll does this week.
you know. whether ashley gets paid... whether his bank account is reset to negative numbers. see if he knows how to handle negative numbers or if his basic life skills fail in those circumstances.
i mean... suppose you did...
what are they going to do about it?
them and whose army?
