Can you cite a source for this claim by Eric Schmidt?

And your proposed alternative is?

Sounds like a psychologist of the armchair variety to me.

Some time ago Berkeley switched from Telebears to a new registration system developed by PeopleSoft/Oracle. Needless to say, it's garbage. I wrote a couple scripts to pull class data from the API in an effort to help me get into our heavily oversubscribed CS courses by searching for open sections, but the system seems to be designed to make using it as painful and worthless as possible. Luckily this semester the EECS department has put dummy sections in for all classes so students who are able to register for a lecture don't get permanently stuck on the waiting list because of a full section.

College administrators who are considering Oracle for your registration needs, please consider anyone else instead, for everyone's sake.

What are the rates of gun ownership among hackers? Conversations with old alumni from school indicate that back in the day, a lot of them were firearms enthusiasts, but it seems that trend died out near the turn of the century. I know MIT still has a rifle and pistol range, however.

I am personally of the opinion that it is unethical for Google to strip these websites of the traffic (and revenue) they deserve by co-opting content that they have, in many cases, spent decades curating. If the websites have terrible design or too many ads, users should inform the website owner organically by choosing not to visit the site, but for Google to abuse their market position in this manner is wrong, I believe.

Two intro CS courses were provided: 61A, in Python, and 61AS (cs61as.org), which was self-paced and taught in both Racket and stk Scheme. Unfortunately there wasn't enough student interest or available TAs to continue providing 61AS. I was fortunate enough to take it the last time the full 4 unit course was offered.
