I'm no fan of judging people by the color of their skin, why not use family income?

This way it's apparent who is getting high scores due to tutoring and who is naturally gifted.

Well... I've seen a particularly aggressive company use their IP to kill competitors.

You can't make a specific file format without using this company.

It seems any free or low cost competitor gets bought by them.

It's made the CAD world horrible.

You'd like Efficiency Is Everything.

But I was particularly talking about per calorie rather than "per dollar"

Vegetarian is lower cost and better for the environment.

Protein per calorie doesn't seem comparable.

Whenever I hear the horrors of the tradewar in a positive light, I wonder if this is the Russian propagandists in action.

How can war be good? Delighting in the suffering of everyone?

11 year, self taught programmer here. Chem engineer by degree.

I had to program for eng 101, engineering 280 mechatronics, and our senior design.

I'm not a programmer by degree, but I was often the only one in group projects that understood what needed to get done.

I don't know what I missed out on. I've wrote AI since college and created embedded systems.

Programming feels unlimited.

But what don't I know? Security? Faster algorithms? I don't know what I don't know.

What a hard read.

Recommend saying what you want, no silly fake dialog needed.
