If you have a stuff ton of student loans and suddenly have amnesia, do they still expect you to pay for loans for the knowledge you learned that you don't remember?

Late but I wanted to answer anyway:

We also have tons of other fun topics like Operating Systems, Machine Learning, etc.

Oops, I meant to say teaches things like compiler design mandatorily to non-computer science students. Should have been inferred from my post that I wasn't talking about CS programs: I was saying that you don't learn important CS stuff (like compiler design) in your first 2 years of general education at college.

Why wouldn't you be expected to? That's like saying if you dropped a cake on your way out of a bakery and never got to eat it, would you get a refund?

Oh sorry. Everything got jumbled up in those couple pages.

I have.

The customer is always right.

Yeah the first 2 yeas of my CS degree had very little to do with anything beyond like fundamentals.  The security degree actually has 0 computer security classes in the first 2 years.


Personally, I think that the death penalty is inhumane. In some states, they still offer execution by: electric chair, hanging, gas chamber, firing squad.

What do you think about this / these?

depends on the crime really


not a fan of the whole killing part honestly, but I think the risk of any of these
electric chair, hanging, gas chamber, firing squad
would do a better job at discouraging would-be felons than the possibility of living in a cell for life off of tax dollars

I have an opinion on the death penalty, and I have a view about the death penalty.

My opinion is that people who are deemed unfit for society should just be offed right then and there. No time for appeals, no time for death row, nada. This should be (somewhat) independent of what crime they committed. For example, a guy can go nuts on his boss and kill him with a stapler but serve his time and come out and be a functioning member of society. However, the dude that got caught after a chain of unarmed robberies and resumed immediately after parole twice.. out with him. He's clearly unable to be part of society, so why are we supporting him? It's a waste of resources and a drain on society.

My view is that the death penalty isn't worth being legal because people don't share my opinion. The costs of keeping someone on death row outweigh the costs of keeping someone in prison for life. So, with our current justice system, it's probably worth it to have it be illegal.


The death penalty is expensive and hypocritical. The country would be better off without it.


imho it's inhumane but should be a legal option only decided by federal judges for cases like Flash Mob
