Calling all entrepreneurs. Especially you, the kids in the garage or wherever you hang out these days. Who wants to sell me some gloves? I need a lot of them.I want a near impossible multifunctional safety glove, and I want it now.Criteria: 1. Impervious outer layer. 2. Cut and puncture resistant middle layer. 3.

It seems the break is between redistribution and regulation. They argue that redistribution tend to result in lower regulation.
I think n = 8
0. I was surprised that I submitted this link because I typically submit a link not to submit a link but to find the link already submitted. My intent was search not submission.
1. I ruminated recently on a slightly tangential cud here. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-determine-what-important-...
In October 2015, Paul Graham proposed "A Way To Detect Bias." I think that it would be not boring to determine if this method can detect bias by the OSCARS against African Americans. I am busy. This is my attempt to Tom Sawyer Hacker News into doing it for me.
That is the entire point. A Professional Engineer is the equivalent of a board certified medical doctor, or a lawyer admitted to the Bar in a particular state. In Ohio, a Professional Engineer is defined as http://www.peps.ohio.gov/4733/473301.aspx Restrictions are outlined at http://www.peps.ohio.gov/4733/4733021.aspx Note the exception for train engineers. You can use the term engineer as long as you don't confuse anybody into thinking you are a real engineer, i.e. sanitation. I like to call myself the Doctor of Love, but no one is going to think I'm claiming to be a real medical doctor.
There are legal consequences for claiming that you are an engineer when you are not. Check out the 2014 consequences in Ohio at http://www.peps.ohio.gov/NewsReleases/2014.aspx You get your name in print and in public for being incompetent and unethical. It is similar in all the other states.
The disciplines that can become Professional Engineers are listed on the right hand column here http://www.peps.ohio.gov/Exams/ExamDates%7CDisciplines.aspx Unfortunately, software engineering didn't make the list, although, electrical and computer did. I can think of circumstances where you would want software engineers to make the list. This is probably the result of corporate influence. PEs are more expensive. And a blanket Certificate of Authorization (CA) is cheaper. If you are an engineer via a company CA, you are only an engineer while working at that company.
You might claim that this is just rent seeking similar to a barber certificate. Yet, not many people die or have their lives ruined by barbers. You might get lice though.
It is interesting that you can no longer become a PE with a 4 year degree anymore that I am aware of. You used to be able to, although your apprenticeship was considerably longer.
