So if it's the gravitational pull that makes the clocks different, it seems obvious that doing the experiment in the other direction is the next step. Measure the time in both directions to average out this effect.

This is clearly theft. What he used the money for is not relevant. The card was put out for a specific use, and this use case was not the intended one. Had he actually bought an iPad, everyone would agree that it's theft. Transferring money between someones else's card and your own with out permission is theft.

Seems like there is a missing component: Frowning. When the lowest mood available is "calm," it feel like it's missing half the picture...

"If the NFL wins, the market goes up, otherwise, it takes a dive. What’s happened over the last thirty years? Well, most of the time, the NFL wins the Superbowl"

Standards of editing have really gone down over the years. The "NFL" always wins the Superbowl...

I think a two (or more) semester course where you write some libraries/functionality during the first semester from a blank page, and then use/refactor/enhance that code in the second semester would be very valuable. "Eat your own dog food" is something everyone should learn in school. Perhaps the third semester could be based on getting some other students code to enhance as well as being a resource for someone using your code from the previous classes.

the biggest problem I have is very similar to a technology problem. The engineers love to do design and vetting (ie/ riding the prototype parts) but are not keen on the follow through aspect of finalizing design and going to production to enable sales. Much the same as a technologist who loves to tinker and refactor, but isn't interested in shipping product or doing support.
