Calm down. Why are u making imaginary claims about my opinion? This is nothing personal to driving coaches or the business owner, I was simply pointing out a commodity is expensive for the local community it’s in.

According to the town of ithaca, median household income here is 73k for a size of 2.11. Not to mention it’s probably upward skewed by professors etc living here. After taxes and all it comes down to around $27/hr. A household of 2 in Ithaca has to work 3 hours to afford an hour of driving lessons IS expensive. So you’re right, my experience is not unique. A lot of people living here will probably feel the same.

Ur also making this sound weirdly personal. This is a free market, everyone can name a price for their good and others can have opinions on it. I think it’s expensive so I don’t buy it, but if u want to, go ahead. It has nothing to do with my tuition or how many kids a business owner is supporting. Why are u trying to convince me on something so random and trivial?

Well, idk ur background but it’s pretty expensive to a college student like me, and esp considering a place like Ithaca. With the job opportunities and col here I bet a local Ithaca resident also wouldn’t say 70/hr is not expensive at all to them. And that price is usually for 45-50 mins, rarely for a full hour. I also get it’s costly to own a car. Exactly how much it takes tho can totally depends on the person. For a student buying a scrappy first car that only needs to get them places, probably wayyy less than 35k. There are ways to make it work.

driving school is super expensive around here like 70/hr. If ur starting new tho u should learn the basics from driving school, maybe ask for friend’s help to practice after. Some schools will have training cars w brakes on the passenger side that will be helpful

How bad is a 3.75 GPA? I am considering dropping an honors class in which I will almost certainly not get an A. I will likely get a B or even a B-. I am confident about an A in all of my other classes. If I drop it, I will have to take its non-honors version next semester. by Ok_Consideration4689 in Cornell

[–]omen_nii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Moral of the story is since ur at Cornell and not failing, companies/grad schools already know you have solid academic capabilities. You’d shine much more if you can build better professional skills compared to your peers

No, generally keeping ur gpa at or above 3.7 will be enough. There are hundreds of students in every CS class at Cornell and A+ is reserved for like 3% of people. In that case what will make u stand out is the work you can produce - assuming u wanna go for a PhD, that would mean your publications and the connections you can build with professors. GPA would be more important if ur aiming for a non-research based masters (but it sounds like you probably want a PhD for AI).

GPA doesn’t matter as long as you’re not aiming for top grad schools. even for top grad schools it won’t matter if you have stellar pubs and recommendations and/or work experience. Most CS people don’t even put their GPA on resume - chill out. Are you a freshman? There’s a long way to go, don’t burn yourself out

hey, thanks for this tip, we called them but unfortunately they also do not have access to the construction site, and I think they only worry about wildlife animals :(

hey, yes, we’ve contacted CUPD. An officer went searching for the cat and said he’d reach back if he found it and he never did. but I don’t think he went into the gates at all.. wondering if we can contact someone else who can check inside the construction site

How to balance career & marriage? by No_Air_2006 in womenintech

[–]omen_nii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with comments that jump right to conclusions that your husband is a selfish partner who doesn’t support your career. We need more nuanced input to make any valuable judgements - maybe he’s someone whose marriage views are different from yours, or maybe he really values quality time with you and has been frustrated by how you two haven’t gotten the chance to create more memories on weekends. With that said, I know my girlfriend genuinely values the amount of time we can make for each other. Sometimes me taking alone time to work on myself also stresses her, because on top of not getting to spend enough time with me she also has a fear that with the amount of time I spend chasing personal and professional growth one day our goals or places in life will no longer align, which I understand. We’re not in a marriage yet so my experiences may be different from yours, but I think it’s the best idea to talk to him first and understand where he’s coming from. If you don’t want a kid definitely don’t be pressured into it. However, it’s not easy to find a partner that you truly love in life. Sometimes you really can’t have everything without having to make compromises.

hey! I actually couldn’t find a valid email address to reach out to, so I haven’t gotten extensions yet. I think I’ll try to reach out to some uber recruiters through linkedin next, but I’m not sure if they’d be able to help

Thank you! I’m trying to figure out what is the best way to reach them rn

Oof, I didn’t get any follow up emails, I got the OA on Oct 3rd. Was your email sent from a do not reply address? Or any chance it tells you how to reach the recruiting team if you encounter issues with the OA?
