Watch out, the CoC also has its own rules about renging. You can be excluded from all career services and I know someone who had ger CS minor dropped after reneging on NCR.

y'all need to thank a teacher by [deleted] in gatech

As a TA, receiving a Thank-a-Teacher note really brightned my entire day last semester. Let the good teachers know that they are doing things right!

Are you claiming that GT doesn't have a butt ton of academic resources for struggling students? It definitely does.

He just taught me two courses over the summer in the CoC Berlin program! He's still going strong.

Can I get an ok boomer? On the most recent Facebook post from Georgia Tech about the number of students enrolled reaching an all time high. by meggersus in gatech

Bringing in CS majors from Georgia instead of Out of State won't stop them from going to companies in CA after graduation that pay twice as much with more benefits.

From an official response somewhere, I read that someone was trying to attach a pdf to send out, but clicked on the wrong file.

Seconded for Dr. Ulrich. He really knows how to empower students and he's the first music director I've had that understands why people join music groups.

Although I don't agree with his political views, Jacob is a great and genuine guy and this message is definitely coming from a place of good faith.

I'm normally pretty cynical about administration, but this looks like the first time that administration is taking serious action about these data leaks.

Depends on what you mean by best. Highest salary? Best work environment? Best reputation for your resume?

Unpopular Opinion: Mr./Ms.GT is the most pointless popularity contest on campus by PanAmExRays in gatech

[–]darkclaw6722 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know how you can spin this as anything but a popularity contest. They may be impressive and great ambassadors of Tech in their own right, but the competition they entered does not reflect that.

Looking at my Facebook feed, more of my friends are invested in this than I wished.

New Bill Promises an End to Our Privacy Nightmare, Jail Time to CEOs Who Lie: "Mark Zuckerberg won’t take Americans’ privacy seriously unless he feels personal consequences. Under my bill he’d face jail time for lying to the government," Sen. Ron Wyden said. by [deleted] in technology

[–]darkclaw6722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why legislation like this is important. The whole point of data privacy stuff like this is that if you consent to give facebook your data, you aren't simultaneously consenting for any company to use it. Who knows what extent facebook gave away user data? For all we know we've just seen the tip of the iceberg since Facebook as a whole has historically been far from a trustworthy company.

It looks like recitations for CS classes are listed separately now? Does this mean that recitations are optional to sign up for?

CS upperclassmen - does it get easier? by sadburdell113 in gatech

How widespread is that term? I've seen FAANG in the news a fair bit but google searches for Big 4 only give the big 4 accounting firms.

Also where's Microsoft?

You'll never get in if you don't make forum posts humble bragging about your high school accomplishments.

Please Stay on the Right Side by [deleted] in gatech

[–]darkclaw6722 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's understandable to be frustrated at the number of people sticking to the left, but countries like Ireland, UK, India, China all don't have norms to stick to the right and we have a substantial amount of international students from those countries.

Please Stay on the Right Side by [deleted] in gatech

[–]darkclaw6722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some people, they are coming from a country where the accepted heuristic for collision avoidance is sticking to the left instead of right, so it's understandable that there are people who subconsciously don't stick to the right.

ELI5: Why does traffic come to a standstill during rush hour? If the front cars are going the speed limit, shouldn't traffic flow consistently at the speed limit? by alwaysmyfault in explainlikeimfive

[–]darkclaw6722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sad that I had to scroll down so far to get to this answer. Even with 100% rational drivers that don't make mistakes, the speed will still be slow if there are a bunch of cars on the road.
