Помните, как люди пачками получают дипломы в психологии и английском языке, а потом не могут вернуть студенческие ссуды? Вот, в Великобритании теперь и с Computer science то же самое: Coders with a bachelor's degree only earn £3,000 more a year than those who don't have one, according to a survey of 4,700 developers in the UK by Stack Overflow, a community site frequented by developers for answers to technical questions.

Всё, теперь только квантовая гравитация.

ramgler.ru -- На памятнике Калашникову нашли чертежи немецкого оружия. Только не говорите, что это они случайно. За такое надо бить, больно и прилюдно. Это мальчики-скульпторы, блин! - написал редактор журнала Rolling Wheels Юрий Пашолок (рекомендовал [personal profile] kostyad).

Совершенно согласен с Пашолоком. Но нет, скажут, что картинку памятника просто скачали из Интернета.

dnainfo.com/chicago -- Between January and July, the number of people taking cabs in Chicago was 41 percent lower than in 2016, city data shows.
Taxi advocates say those numbers are pushing drivers off the streets. So far this year, 900 taxi medallions have gone into foreclosure, according to the cabdrivers union.
Although ride-share companies are "making consumers go for the convenience," they don't contribute to Chicago the way taxis do, Beale maintains.
"The cab industry is a different experience. Cabdrivers are ambassadors to the city. They know the city. They talk to you about the city," Beale said. "You aren't going to get that with Uber and Lyft."
