A side effect of having spent 10 years with limited income in college and grad school, 6 of those here in expensive NYC, is that I eat of lot of cheap sandwiches, even though I now have a nice Tech™ job. Finally, solving the important questions of humanity

I'm pretty sure an optimal layout won't have entire bites without any banana at all. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Google's new certificate program takes only six months to complete, and will be a fraction of the cost of college. Bachelor of Googlosity?
I wonder if they also offer Hotel Management and Small Engine Repair?

Are they going to hire all the people finishing that "degree"?
And note that I do not specially agree with the price / quality of many college studies, but this...
I suppose Elon Musk is buddy of some of Google's high directives.

That's great news. Most universities are so overpriced and don't teach hardly anything useful. We need a change in that system and more things like this will cause that change.
The regular 4 year degree will be ancient history in the next generation if universities don't wake up.

A small group of physicists today is working on a theory that doesn’t just study individual phenomena; it’s an entirely new way to describe the universe itself. Seems a round-about way of getting 42

A BS theory.
Takes a lot of words for them to explain how one isn't the other; but traditional physics allows for the same. Nothing radical nor revolutionary in the theory.
Drivel wrote: How could one show that the evolution of life, with all of its elegant adaptations and appearance of design, is compatible with the laws of physics, which seem to contain no design whatsoever?
Evolution is contrary to design. It is trial and error.
Drivel goes on: Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection explains the appearance of design in the biosphere, but it fails to explain why such a process is possible in the first place.
Darwin's theory is not about the appearance of design. There is no design.

Hence why the article says appearance of design.

A system can be designed and then left to evolution.

Could it have been designed to be trial and error? That's what some "AI" systems are designed to do.

Evolution does not work on trial and error; it selects the fittest. Trial and error means recognizing one, and it doesn't.

I don't need to; Darwin already did.

Google Drive may have a way for hackers to trick you into installing rogue code. Welp. I guess they'll cancel it now
And their super-ninja-hacker team didn't find and report it? Wonders!
