wowfunhappy said, "I don't know why people keep using it."

so maybe it's an idiom that's spread beyond Twitter.

Possibly that they didn't see any of those statements?

I don't even know what this means. Does the janitor have "something to do with Stanford" ?

He quotes from The Guardian, Al Jazeera, and Haaretz /s

How many of those killed were actually Hamas fighters?

> I think his use of "it has been argued", "have been credited to", and "purportedly" in this context are not weaselly, and are fine in reference to unsubstantiated arguments that people have made.

No, it IS weaselly. Unless there is any substance to the argument at all, it's like saying "it has been argued that the earth is flat."

Maybe say "it has been argued without evidence" like journalists do /s

Hear.

Just keep getting reelected, since no one expects you to accomplish anything. People in the rest of the country push "term limits" as the solution to everything. I always point out that we've had them in CA for 20 years. It just means that they run for a different office after they're termed out.

Or become lobbyists.

You could go on newspapers.com (free for 7 days) and look at those old papers. I know that the Transcontinental Railroad was intensely controversial.

What's "bad-faith" about it?

"Someone might be misled!"

Classic cry of the people who want to regulate and control everything.

Maybe if the certificate is worthless, the students will figure it out? Maybe by doing a little research before they invest their money and time.

I know that for a course to be eligible for government reimbursement under any program (job training, GI Bill, etc.) the government has to investigate it. So presumably the bad ones are either already ineligible, or someone's not doing their job.

In the spinoff, the part that became Agilent should have stayed "Hewlett-Packard." Because you're right, Agilent and its spinoffs are the true inheritors of what Dave and Bill built.

The part that stayed HP should have been renamed "HP Computing" or some BS corporate acronym ("HPC"??)

Only ignorant people think that all beginning courses are taught by real professors. That hasn't been true for generations.

> many of the "extension" courses at universities are taught by people with at least a minimal affiliation to the university.

That might be true at Harvard, but it's not at UC Santa Cruz, UC Berkeley, or Stanford. Probably others, but those are the ones I see catalogs for.
