You do "first year writing" and "chemistry" in your CS major? Can someone explain me what's up with American colleges? In my country you decide what you want to study and the university decides which courses you take at which moments. All courses directly related to the field you're studying. Occasionally you can choose between different courses, for example as a Math major you can pick 2 courses in your second and third year, some things that come to mind that you can choose are Fourier Analysis, Advanced Probability, System Theory, etc.

Our liberal faggotry departments force other departments to take their faggotry classes that nobody wants to take.

>>7676824
Then tell those bitches to take a STEM major instead of "womyn's studies" ffs

>>7676829
Why is this even a thing ? If women wanna go STEM, they can just do it. What is this social pressure on women that try to push them into STEM instead of whatever they wanna study ?

>>7676824
Half the women in my graduating class stopped working after marrying another engineer or doctor.

30% did retarded shit like au pairing minimum wage kekery.

15% actually worked in engineering for while and have since quit to do finance/management type jobs.

There's only 1 girl in my graduating class who got into engineering management.


I'm very grateful for the push of women into engineering because the professional is already oversaturated as is and if they all entered the economy we would be fucked.

Blump

No and no.

But hydrogen is not as dangerous as you think it is.

No. Even if we did, airships are not coming back: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/helium-hokum-why-airships-will-never-be-part-of-our-transportation-infrastructure/

Depends on if you're interested in statistics/math or in artificial intelligence.

>>7676675
In the math side of things

>>7676682
No idea. I'm a pure mathfag and I would recommend none of the stuff I've done from the math side of things (stochastic processes). It's all incredibly boring compared to the AI stuff, in my opinion.

Good luck OP.

Because one is productive for society and the other is destructive. Some traditionalist mores can be hard to understand, but this one? Gimme a break.

>>7676556
How is one "destructive" when it's literally the same substance?

>>7676561

Because one is to get you high. When has someone high on crystal meth contributed to society?

It's like how painkillers can be abused. In their time-released pill form, they help people deal with pain. If you crush it up, and snort it, then you just are trying to get high.

>makes people highly unproductive
ok, but 'productivity' and 'ability/opportunity to procreate' aren't the same.

>makes people [highly] prone to suicide
no, most 'depressed' people don't kill themselves, only a small fraction do, still stands even if you take out the highly part

How did cancer survive evolution?

The brain is complicated and the emotional building blocks that make up depression all have evolutionary benefits until they go out of control.

Or if you're one of those horrible evolutionary psychology type people that can't stand complexity and so have to invent simplistic narratives for themselves, how about I just say that a biological gambit where 90% of the time you improve your life and 10% you make it much much much much much worse is a net evolutionary benefit.

>>7676430
Assuming depression is indeed inherited, it likely survived the same way many genetic disorders do, it is either carried as a recessive allele (so will only show if two people with this allele mate) or it is carried as a sex linked disorder on the x chromosome. If I were to guess I would say it is the latter as men seem to suffer from depression more than women.

The theory essentially says, Space-time tells matter how to move, and matter tells space-time how to curve

>>7676182
So what is space time? Do you mean the way matter causes space to bend around it?

Define time.

Define space.

Exactly. Case-closed.

yes and no

Every law in physics has been disproven. Just not by much under normal conditions.

Now stop reading popsci and learn actual physics if you're so interested in it.

>>7675862
I believe it, not by observation but by probability

Probably. I'm hopeful that we'll find a solution before significant damage is done. It's not even that tough to do. Albedo modification isn't that expensive, and although may have side effects, is better than nothing. If not albedo modification, we could use sulfate aerosols. We have many ways we can "buy time" to wean ourselves off of fossil fuels, which will naturally occur as prices rise.

>>7675901
It's probably the case but I'm with this anon. Any fans of carbon sequestration in here?

I would use an ipad if I had one, especially for journal articles. Otherwise I just view it in default mode on my chromebook
> pic related

>>7675702

I double click it, and then begin reading.

>>7675702
you are autistic as fuck
just read the god damn thing you fucking piece of shit

>>7674942

Eh it You go for pure math you can work of the nsa or some government agency.

I think it's still easier to get highered as a cs guy tho

>>7674942
Why not both?

Graduate in maths but learn programming in and out by your own

yep

>>7674733
I got told to come here because I'd get recked by /sci/

pls wreck desu sempai

>>7674242
What special insight do you think you gained?

You're not any more knowledgable than you were before. You're deluded.

>>7674250


Well now I can do all the questions in the textbook as if it's second nature without having to refer to my notes.

fuck off

>75k starting +5k sign bonus
sounds a bit rich for that type of work. more like 45k-60k

>>7673899
No, it really doesn't.
