Oh, yeah. I forgot Stanford. Dr. Knuth alone probably pushed the field forward 50 years.

Comment on education matters on tv
That's not even close to being true. Pretty much the history of modern computing since the 50s is old-school MIT guys, Bell Labs guys for OSs and programming languages (most had doctorates, all had college) (also there were those scandanavian OOP guys with phds to round out the modern programming languages for better or worse), Xerox (mostly phds), and the west coast universities/DoD guys who laid the foundations for the internet. Hardware has advanced quite a bit since '76, all by hardcore engineers with insane education, Woz being pretty much the only exception (and he did spend years at Berkeley) In terms of software, that's pretty much all of the important or significant ideas were there by 1976, all by highly-educated people. Gates was a brilliant businessman, but the only programming he did was make an interpreter (an idea that goes back to late-50s MIT). Jobs and Woz took what Xerox did and made in cheap. Jobs' Nextstep/OSX was just taking Unix (Bell Labs) and rounding out the rough edges. All the trendy languages of today? Java was created by a pHd at CMU, but pretty much recycled 20-30 year-old ideas. Matz guy has a degree and worked at a uni research lab for years. Guido and Wall got their MAs. Just because a few people who mainly dropped out of very prestigious universities managed to monetize old ideas, doesn't mean those ideas don't have old roots in academia.

It's an obvious troll, though there's probably some context we're missing. Anyway, the reddit line made me lul pretty hard.

Seriously, it is extremely common to eat dog meat in China. There is no taboo against it whatsoever. I've eaten it myself a few times. If you want to ride your "not racist" high horse, you're going to have to accept there are things in other countries you do not agree with. Your line of reasoning - "It's racist to suggest non-whites do not aspire to white customs" - is far more racist than any easily verifiable truth like "Asians eat Dogs".

Yeah, but Jews don't actually drink blood, they drink sugary awful wine. At least some Asians do eat dogs, and torture pretty much any animal, although mostly out of convenience (less money on cages, easier transport). I saw it every day for years when I was over there. Want proof? 1) Go to any large open market in southern China, or in some cities in northern China. Find dog butcher next to crowded cage of dogs. Watch. 2) Find any restaurant in China that says "??" in really big characters (these will be on nearly every street in some cities)(that was supposed to be 'gourou' but apparently Tiki removed unicode support :(((). Because it is not a secret or a source of shame, they will freely advertise "dog meat". Ask to see the kitchen. Many restaurants in China are quite proud of their fresh ingredients, so will gladly show you the dogs being killed. What's the problem? I thought we were supposed to love all cultures because all cultural differences were beautiful and need our understanding! You didn't think it was all fengshui and funny roofs did you?
