Because rather than bringing science into politics, it would bring politics into every facet of science.

Simple solution: stick to non-controversial science. There is plenty of it, after all. Focus on atoms and molecules, electricity, archimedes principle, newtonian motion/gravitation, things like that.

It is quite possible to test basic understanding of science without delving into areas where political/religious/tribal beliefs cause cognitive dissonance (e.g., vaccinations, racial disparities in intelligence, evolution).

Even better, one could merely test the ability to follow scientific inference on the basis of hypothetical experiments. That would make it more difficult to "guess the teacher's password".

I don't think we officially import low-skill immigrants.

Race doesn't really correlate much with literacy beyond SES. The reason why it's important is that the children being born in the U.S. today are over half 'minority', so it's important in terms of being able to easily understand the longterm trend.

> So what would you do to convince this organization that the manager is the problem?

If you could do that you would still be working there. They are going to have to find out for themselves.

The best thing you can do is not burn your bridges. Depart and remain on friendly terms with the company. This is one of those times when there is nothing more you can do. It may be painful because you want the company to succeed but you have to accept this and move on.
What's your Elo?
Then with your parent "I just want to know the opinion of those more experienced than me. Is it worth it to stay in college? Or is that parchment more worthwhile than continuing to pursue programming as the passion it is for me"

With your current situation then, perhaps some self study of the "why" of what your goals / future endeavors could bring would be beneficial. Meaning, take a meditative walk, hike, "alone" time with shutting down all electronic mediums (NO distractions) and, a freewrite into a blank pad of paper on your passions, goals (separate columns), link them up (passions to goals to competencies), and pursue / iterate until fruition. Without further information, I'm not sure what I can offer, but I hope it is helpful :)

Is a great mind-hacking novel to expand your views of reality, what many would identify with "aha" moments, and, many would cite (in sections) "hokey." But, expanding your creative juices (even if that is staring at a sunset whilst calming your mind to any and all distractions, quiet your mind) and, see what comes :)

Cheers!

Edit: with regards to networking outside of college, do not discount the possibility of the up and comings / future generation of movers Within college, that could be of future value (whether you add to their experiences (mentor), or they, "ping" something to lead to a slight "aha" moment).

Nothing. It's over. Move on. They'll eventually figure it out on their own, and there's little you can and nothing you should do to expedite that process.
I tried to read the article, but it appears to not parse or cuts off partway. I call shenanigans; flagged.
(Rewritten to fix problem with clarity)

The resolver software that ultimately makes the trust decision --- examining the RRSIG records in the response and deciding what to display or do as a result --- is running on computers under end-user control. If the end-user, or whoever maintains your browser or other software for them, decides that a particular key has probably been compromised and should not be trusted, no RFC can force their software to treat that key as valid simply because it has a valid DS from its parent zone. You can have a DNSSEC blacklist just as we have openssl-blacklist and openssh-blacklist. You can make your resolver do whatever you want.

Now, this is considerably more work than clicking around your browser's Preferences UI to delete DigiNotar's keys, but it's not as if every user has to do it themself.

However, I appreciate the information about what the DNSSEC quasi-standards say you should program your resolver to do.
It's a mystery to me why the standards bodies didn't just take the code for tables and make an copy of it, just using a new name like "grid" or "layout" or something.
I don't see the chicken and egg problem. The company has lots of money to spend on R&D. So they can spend money on competing ideas and choose winners. Not all companies have money to spend on R&D.

There are a number of interesting game theory articles on competitive Starcraft. This is one: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=258... (and my comment to it: https://plus.google.com/116918963723558831013/posts/A8DRTY11...).
I'd tell HR the reason you think you're being fired and why it's wrong. Be very specific about it (name the project, circumstances, dates if possible). Try not be angry. Be as reasonable and fair-minded as possible but don't sell yourself short. Then go out for a nice dinner, sleep in late, and find more interesting work.

If you stay in the industry, you'll probably run across your old colleagues at other companies. And if you want to work for that company again, you can check back in a year or so. That manager will probably be gone.
The democratic process is a red herring. As I pointed out elsewhere, if we really cared about improving the democratic signal/noise ratio, we'd just bar morons from voting.

As for society collapsing, I think you grossly underestimate the value low intelligence people can provide when suitably directed. Consider walmart - it's a vast command economy which employs about 1% of the US (mostly taken from the bottom percentiles) and has improved the standard of living for millions.

A bunch of morons couldn't create walmart themselves. But they can still create great value when directed by a small number of intelligent people.
I'm a programmer and a college dropout. I've always been the type to march at the beat of my own drum. While genuinely interested in the humanities and core curriculum offered at my school, I loathed the slow pace of the classroom. I wanted to jump ahead and skip the basics and go straight to the "fun stuff!" I harnessed that energy and began skipping classes, teaching myself a self-selected curriculum and started developing software. Unfortunately, that path wasn't compatible with the university and I soon found myself on academic leave. It was 1995, however, and the budding Internet era was my oyster. I said goodbye to school and never looked back. Well, at the behest of a college professor I did consider returning to school a few years later but ultimately declined the offer.

Flash forward 7 years, and I was already a (twice) successful entrepreneur and now executive at a global media company. The lack of a college degree and formal education had not (in any meaningful way) impeded my career, nor had it handicapped my ability to continually learn, adapt and innovate.

One day, Microsoft came knocking. They were recruiting me to join the team. They flew me in for the infamous day of interviews and Mensa riddles, and not a single person asked me about my education. That is until the (8th and) final interview of the day. The head of the division said something along the lines of, "so, I see here that you never graduated from college?" I more or less shrugged off the question, made some smug remark about my entrepreneurial tendencies and referenced his boss, Bill Gates. I'll never forget his response. He said, "look, college is like bootcamp. Above all else, it prepares you for life by requiring you to follow someone else's rules. If you couldn't follow the rules of your school for 4 years, how do I know you will follow ours?"

It may seem obvious to others, but for me, that was the very first time someone had framed the college experience in a way that, well, actually resonated! There was a sudden, epiphany-like clarity. I couldn't even tell you what I said next. But the interview did go well, and they made me a formal offer the next day. I turned it down. You know why? He was right, whether I was capable or not wasn't the issue. I didn't want to follow their rules. In fact, I soon after resigned my position at the media company and set myself back on the entrepreneurial route. I've been innovating and starting businesses ever since. Marching at the beat of my own drum and happy as a clam.

Each individual's life experience is unique, and I'm certain others might disagree with my message and sentiment. However, college is kind of like bootcamp. Many people benefit from its structure and curriculum, and the social experience it offers. Hey, it's not for everyone, but I do believe that if you have that fire burning inside of you, if you hear that drumbeat in your head, and are disciplined enough to learn as you go and manage your own education, you won't let a missing piece of paper hold you back.

Good luck!
I am amazed at the vitriol in the comments following the article. A sign of serious issues a-brew.
Because HTML is for expressing semantics, not presentation. If you want something that displays like a table, but isn't, you can do that with CSS using display: table.
If you want to learn about design, before reading books about colors, fonts, grid layouts or how to make an inner glow in Photoshop, you should start by reading something like Don Norman's "The Design of Everyday Things" to gain an appreciation for how things work, and why. Then worry about making them look good.

This is a book that developers should read because it helps you think about thinking, and is applicable to APIs and other software internals.

Warning: If you read this book you may find yourself distractedly aware of the UI faux pas circus that surrounds us (e.g. doors that have handles that look pull-able, but can only be pushed).

If this book can get even one designer to resist the urge to make screen UIs that look like glass bubbles or brushed metal the world will be a better place.
You know, race isn't the only factor... economics plays a big role as well. For example, look at Appalachia. There are many predominantly white areas there that are very poor and as a result also have poor literacy. Race and urban vs. suburbia aren't the only factors here.
On the contrary, SES (or at least income, which is easy to measure) explains very little of racial gaps in education.

No, that was not my point.

My point is the advantage here is that the name "BIT.LY" itself clearly says who you are trusting to certify that name: You are trusting ".LY". If you do not trust ".LY", you can go about your day ignoring "∗.LY" sites, and your ability to separately trust "∗.NO" is unaffected.

The fact that governments ultimately control most of these trust domains is unfortunate, but it is still nice to be able to have different trust domains. If I want to actually see the unedited propaganda of the Libyan government, then I sure as hell do trust the Libyan government the most to deliver that; conversely, I trust the US Government the most to certify that I'm actually browsing whitehouse.gov.

Such a model allows me to see when I am browsing the Libyan-government-guaranteed part of the Internet - I know that any lies I read are Libyan government lies, and if my pockets are fleeced they will be fleeced with Libyan government complicity or incompetence.

And sure, it'd be great if governments didn't have a monopoly - if there was, say, a Google-guaranteed part of the Internet too. This isn't too crucial, though: ultimately, all corporations are answerable to at least one government, that can compel the corporation to act in the interest of that government. By trusting Verisign I'm already trusting the US Government - it's just hidden.

OK, so you have been fired. Being fired is a traumatic experience, and you want someone to blame.

Playing the devi's advocate, maybe the manager and you just didn't mesh well? Maybe he was miffed at having 1 report, who wasn't even in the building? There's lots of reasons that aren't really the fault of some satanic manager, or the employee.

I'd make that case in the exit interview - you and the manager just clashed. He should have worked out a transfer for you, as you had proven to be an asset for the org (with your technical skills - which had been shown to be good, and ability to work with your old manager). I'd just keep going back this point - it was a team problem (between you and the manager), which the manager should have escalated. Since he was obviously partly to blame (two people don't clash just because one of them is wrong), he should have gotten his boss in to deal with it, or gone to another third party. He clearly wasn't competent to sort out the team, and resorted to sacking you, rather doing what any employee should do in such a situation - calling in his boss to sort things out.
I'm guessing if asked, your former manager would have a very different story to tell.

Effectively you are asking "how can I get the person who fired me in trouble?" I would step back and analyze your own motivations. Odds are, the situation is more complex than you would like to admit, even to yourself.

As for advice, try to figure out what lessons you can learn from the entire situation. Try to understand what really happened. Try to put yourself in your former managers shoes. Don't keep living in the past, and stop entertaining impotent revenge fantasies about 'warning the organization' about your former manager.

The article makes a very strange assertion:

That $5 trillion dollars is not money invested in building roads, schools, and other long-term projects, but is directly transferred from the American economy to the personal accounts of bank executives and employees.

What does the author believe the bank executives and employees do with that money? Some of it is spent on consumption, but most bank executives consume a far smaller portion of their income than anyone else. [1]

Whatever they don't consume is reinvested in the economy.

[1] If you disagree with this claim, then it logically follows that the best form of Keynesian stimulus is tax cuts for bank executives.

It's not just SES. Race correlates with the SES of school peers, as well. If you go to a poor (black) school in a poor (black) neighbourhood, then your own SES isn't your biggest problem.

And race does correlate with peer SES, as whites (and asians, and most hispanics, and well-off blacks) flee schools once there are too many low-SES blacks.

The question is - how big a problem is "white flight" / segregation. If it is seen as a huge cause of inequality, then there are ways to reduce it.

In my experience, investors in high-growth startups that raise a lot of money are not particularly concerned about frugality.

Barnes and Noble would get more business from me if they'd make their online side and the stores work better together.

For instance, they have the ability on the site to find if a book is available in your local stores. How about extending that so that I can have a view that only shows books that are in stock at my local stores?

Another one would be to allow exchanges through the store. Right now they do allow returns--that is, buy online and decide you want to return it, and you can drop the return off at your local store instead of going through the hassle of shipping. However, if you buy online, and they ship you the wrong item or a defective item, and so you want an exchange rather than a return, then you have to ship back to them and have them ship you the correct item.

During the exit interview, don't take the charges against you too personally. Find out whether there is anything at all that is actually your fault and resolve to do better at it next time. Prove to HR that they were wrong because you came across as a most reasonable person. Obviously, tell them you are shocked and dismayed and you disagreed with their overall assessment. But you see the futility of trying to convince them they may have a bigger problem with your boss, and you wish them good luck and the very best.

After working a bit on a film in college, I started noticing cuts, and it started to drive me insane. It's one of those things that's largely inconsequential.

Conversely, I now have eternal admiration for scenes comprised of as few cuts as possible (cf. "Children of Men").
