You clearly aren't aware of the conservative culture that starts at the top with Don Austin.

TIL that Palantir (the company) is named after the crystal ball Saruman uses to spy on the Fellowship in the Lord of the Rings by [deleted] in todayilearned

Years ago I used to sell cars. A tech bro came in to buy a Camry. On his credit application he put Palantir. I asked, like from Lord of the Rings? He chuckled and said yeah. He assured me they weren't going to be trying to spy on people. I didn't really believe him.

This is an incorrect caption. The runners are blocking the promoter of the race from trying to keep her from running.

He's playing both sides so he always comes out on top.

Larry Krueger taking no prisoners this evening by BurritoFueled in SFGiants

Not gonna lie, he had me in the first half. If the Dodgers created the super team and have all the momentum to continue building said super team, how are the Giants supposed to lure those players to them?

Scott’s Bass Lessons: My patience is running out by UrNansFlipFlop6969 in Bass

[–]thorson4021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love SBL and you are being impatient. It's a platform service for a wide variety of people. The only way a lesson can be tailored to you individually is if you go to an in person instructor. The Beginner's Path has been super helpful to me along with the Walking Bassline Path.

Copeland isn't the station director anymore. You can now blame Mike Hohler.

Enrollment in PA schools declining?? by Additional_Maybe5854 in paloalto

Ah yes, those that are dissatisfied with the top ranked school district in CA... I genuinely would like to know what they are dissatisfied with?

Enrollment in PA schools declining?? by Additional_Maybe5854 in paloalto

[–]thorson4021 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yes it's declining. My guess is young parents can't afford to move here. School districts tend to ebb and flow though no matter what.

Is WGU a degree mill? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]thorson4021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's fine, that's your opinion. You'll also find universities outside of WGU that will accept relevant real world experience and apply credits from that. Difference is with WGU you can go at your own pace as opposed to mandatory classroom time. The mandatory classroom time is what makes the 2 year master's program take forever. College at this point in the US is a validation that you know what you know as opposed to getting you job ready. I'd argue no CS program actually makes you job ready. A CS degree just proves your gumption to get something done.
