Barry Charles Diller (1942) Barry Diller first found a way into business by working at the mail room of the William Morris Agency, a job he found worthy enough to drop out of UCLA after only three weeks of attendance.

Things school doesn’t teach you about money—but should Students are more ignorant than ever when it comes to real-world stuff like financial literacy.
Students today are being churned out of college more ignorant than ever before, at least when it comes to real-world stuff like financial literacy. A study in the Journal of Consumer Marketing reveals that the majority of college students now don’t even know the interest rates on their credit cards. That’s because behind the veneer of high tech gadgets, the whole education system is a relic from simpler times. Your grandparents could go to college for the few hundred dollars they earned in their spare time and come out set for life, but students today are taking out hundreds of thousands of dollars in crippling life-long loans to learn a…

How to write a killer essay The pen is mightier than the sword, but it's useless if you don't wield it right.
The pen is mightier than the sword, but it’s useless if you don’t wield it right. Great writing takes practice – a lot of it – and you need to have the insight to know which skills and techniques to work on. Nobody is expecting you to write like Mark Twain, but in a world of 6.5 billion literate people, the standards keep going higher.

Peer-reviewed paper: sexbots need ability to consent You'll need to "communicate carefully" with their "consent-modules" to avoid robot rape.
A peer-reviewed paper recently published in the International Journal of Social Robotics argues that sex robots should be programmed to decide whether or not they consent to their owner’s sexual advances. University of Wollongong PhD student Anco Peeters and Radboud University Professor Pim Haselager say that the move would help the “cultivation of compassion.” “Like consenting humans, a robot and its human partner will have to communicate carefully about the kind of interaction that will take place,” Peeters and Haselager write. “And like in a relationship between humans, this communication could potentially result in the robot sometimes not consenting and terminating the interaction.” In other words, these academics believe sex…

Feminist intellectuals: text appearing next to text that disagrees with it is a form of corrective rape, holocaust Nonconsentual coplatforming.
“The road to evil is paved with good intentions.” When the London-based Institute for Art and Ideas solicited six feminist philosophers for their views on the question, “How can philosophy change the way we understand the transgender experience and identity?” little did they know they were about to commit an act of nonconsentual coplatforming, a newly discovered and particularly violent form of corrective rape so brutal that feminist intellectuals compare it to the holocaust. These are the intellectual ideas currently belching out of feminism in a dykefight that so far has seen an article disappeared from the internet and three feminists derided as genocidal neo-nazi rapists.
