I completely understand this.
However, how else can we help disadvantaged individuals form a career?
Otherwise, college is only for the middle/upper middle class.

that's the problem we have going forward.
A generation of students with aggregate debt > $1T, greater than the aggregate credit card debt. Note that credit card debt was lent on proof of existing revenue, the student debt was lent on "you might make money in 5 years if the economy is good and you have a good degree".
If you borrowed it, you should have to pay it back. It doesn't make any sense to allow people out from under their debts that they made the conscious decision to borrow. If you don't understand the total costs, how the lending and repayment processes work, or if you don't have any solid plans for living with that debt, you shouldn't be borrowing it. Period. I don't care if it's a mortgage, a car loan, a school loan, or even your neighbor's tools. Your borrowing choices and the repayments from those choices should always be your own responsibility.
Nevermind we tell them they're worthless unless they go to college (what you want to flip burgers your whole life?) and just say "oh well it pays for itself", and our schooling system doesn't teach how repayment processes work, what a promissory note is, how to choose a degree that will be in demand in 5 years (serious lol at this one), or how to find random part time jobs besides McD (crap pay) that can help you pay your way through college.
No, rather, they're supposed to just fabricate or synthesize that information for themselves out of thin air (if they could do that, they would be an entrepreneur and wouldn't need college).

make a wish, and toss it into the founta--OH MY GOSH
Sorry you attitude of expecting every Android developer to write their own screen resolutions API or management framework is exactly what people are complaining about on Android.
You're not supposed to have to write HALs in the modern world of 3rd gen programming languages.
Particularly their software has been half baked for android.
The only reason we don't notice it this round is their Nexus 4 had a Quad Core A15 and 2GB RAM. Nothing can slow IT down...just drain the battery.
Yeah, give them a simple task. Something that any reasonable programmer should be able to do in 15 minutes. Then give them a solid hour to work on it. If they can't produce something working in that time, that's a pretty informative result. The time limit isn't a speed challenge; it's meant to be very generous, and act as, "Look, we need to move on..."
Personally, I like to give a few different options from which they can choose freely. Something procedural, something OO, and maybe something in SQL or a functional language. Perhaps a couple different choices for each - around 6 to 8 total. That way you don't run the risk of excluding a worthy candidate because you happened to design some problem they aren't really specialized in, and if they can't handle any of them, that's a nice big red flag.
this is a FANTASTIC idea not sure why it hasn't come up yet.
how does not knowing quick-sort make one incompetent?
can you explain these things (algo's and data sctructures) with an example real world scenario of sufficient complexity to be a valid test of competence?
I'm an embedded developer, finding myself headed towards higher level development, and have no formal training on these "data structures" and "algorithms". Most textbooks have worthless stuff like an array list with a sort function. In C, I presume this would be an add, remove, sort function to a malloc'd structure?
that idea amuses me
your honor, I was exercising free speech when I notified my Hamas buddies I was launching that mortar
I had this problem until I started consistently going to sleep the second I got tired. My problems came because I wasn't keeping a schedule.
To get ON to the schedule, 3mg (milligram, not microgram!) sleep tablets of melatonin (completely natural, what your brain releases for sleepy time) do wonders.
because the bust doesn't come until after the election, and wreaks havoc everywhere and for years like the housing bubble did for Japan (2 decades+ lost) and for us.
The flaw is a human one.
*FDIC can be good thing, and it can be abused.
*Monetary policy under democratic control would definitely be abused by the people getting elected-- "sure we'll have a bit of inflation if it means the economy keeps doing well so I get re-elected...and a bit more...and a bit more..."
*Pension funds managed by boards controlled by the workers, what happens when the majority of workers are older retiring soon and pass reforms to raid the coffers leaving the youngins high and dry?
Rest of that stuff is pretty good though, specifically
-Glass-Steagall
-un-suspension of mark-to-market accounting ("require banks to use honest bookkeeping")
-pretty much everything else you listed
You should know the answer before you ask the question if you're really entrepreneur quality.
