  1. Just got around to finishing the fourth and final season of this show. Man it went from okay to one of my favorites of all time. The last four episodes were as good a series conclusion as I've seen. And the Finale, with those scenes and that song - perfect.

     

    It's on Netflix, go watch it.

     

    Team Donna always.

  2. Now that we're in May, Luhnow is going to start thinking about ways to fill our roster holes. We'll give minor leaguers a shot first, before thinking about trades. 

    The holes to me are closer, DH, and maybe left field if Fisher doesn't show more. I'm not worried about a LOOGY because we have several righties who own lefty hitters.

  3. I think they're trying to show that Philip is finding that the American Dream isn't easy. Especially if you go to spy school, not travel agency management school.

    The Henry tuition thing, I think, is there to show just how detached/ compartmentalized Elizabeth has become. I know she's not a typical momma, but the "well, he's your responsibility" line was still pretty jarring.

  4. But isn’t that the point of the character? Or are you saying it’s old
    Yeah I think it's just getting old. I get that most of the characters are one note, but Richard's note is wearing on me. I'll still keep watching though for the other characters.


  5. Funny story about CS that may shed a little light.  I'm an IP attorney also, with an ME undergrad.  I graduated 30 years ago.  At that time UT did not have a computer science degree per se.  About the best you could do was take a "bunch" of numerical methods courses in Math.  Baylor of all places had I believe the top CS/IS program in the state with their DPA (data processing and analytics) degree in the business school.
    Also, for several years after that, the Patent & Trademark Office would not recognize Computer Science as a degree basis for registration as a patent attorney.  A major part of that was the non-uniformity and lack of mathematical and scientific rigor in some CS degrees in those days.  Do they still require a transcript APMP?
    As indicated here, there is a wide/wild variety of subject matter and professions encompassed by "computer science."  Also, in many cases, those with an affinity for computers are simply exhibiting a technical bent that lends itself to engineering, with computers remaining a hobby.
    I might suggest that he find a CS-type degree that shares its first year curriculum with most of the engineering majors (I believe this to be true at UT).  That way, the technical degree will remain mostly open and, if he winds up hating the hell out of all of it, the hours from engineering/CS won't be lost entirely in some other major (engineering calculus, for example, is "good" for a business or economics major, but not vice versa, and the physics will count as science credit in any degree, etc.)


    Yup. When I took the patent bar ten years ago, the USPTO required both an undergraduate transcript and photocopies of the CS course descriptions from the relevant UT undergraduate catalog.
  6. Knuth is good advice.

     

    I graduated UTCS 15 years ago. Learned be stuff on the job to do the job, but the UTCS computer science problem solving building blocks definitely helped. The on the job learning has only intensified as an IP attorney, both software and hardware wiser. Many of the innovations I'm seeing now are in deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, vr/ar, distributed autonomous agents, and embedded/mobile hardware platforms.
