"But Larry Page is no longer convinced that Levandowski was key to Chauffeur’s success. In his deposition to the court, Page said, “I believe Anthony’s contributions are quite possibly negative of a high amount.” At Uber, some engineers privately say that Levandowski’s poor management style set back that company’s self-driving effort by a couple of years."

So does this mean Waymo owes Uber damages, or payment for taking the problem off their hands?
Branson: Three things I look for in pitches
You basically typed out what I would have typed, but got lazy and just said "reasons are complex."

There's something of a joke/quote in university circles about how universities went from "state funded to state supported to state located." When you get <= 5% of your budget from the state, the state support means nothing and this is the situation for most big state unis.

Also, you forgot the Saudi Arabian nationals whose govt fully funds their US education (though this program is becoming more restrictive in recent years with the Saudi govt selecting specific eligible degrees). I'm not trying to start a flame war here, but my personal experience is that many of these Saudi students struggled deeply, this fact was known by the administration, but the giant full-price checks were essential to keeping the lights on.

Other Fees: Yes, the rise of fees that are starting to rival tuition. Fees are a convenient way to lower the sticker shock of tuition while keeping the total cost the same. My former uni made a big promise about "freezing" tuition for years at a time, but all they ended up doing was jacking up the fees to compensate.
I'm surprised more high-tier universities don't supply tenured PIs with dedicated grant writers, or at least easy access to them.

Many of my social circle work as grad students at a private R1 institution, and I've seen a vast difference in the experience of students with a PI who self-funds and writes grants all day - less interaction, most of the teaching and mentoring is done by postdocs - and a PI that has an alternate source of funding like clinical work - grants are still needed but less often, much more hands-on input to projects, much more direct mentoring. It seems like the top universities could definitely chip in to help ease that load on the researchers: science as a whole stands to benefit.

This is wrong. 50% overhead means for every dollar in, an additional 50 cent "tax" is paid as overhead (thus, out of 1.50 total, 1.00 goes to the research, 0.50 to the overhead).

To be clear, a 60%-70% overhead rate implies that the university is taking 37-42% of the money (for each dollar spent, another 0.60-0.70 goes to university). In addition, other expenses like tuition and equipment have no overhead taken out.

Will it really be enforceable though? It seems relatively easy for firms in China to change names, create shells, etc

If China can't effectively police their own fly-by-night domestic firms from doing by things like selling industrial salts as fake table salt, how likely is it they'll be able to shut down NK oriented firms, or even be aggressively inclined to investigate and enforce this order? That is, perhaps this is mostly for show to comply on paper with UN resolutions.

Another way is to have the grad students teach, and grade all the courses, so that you don't have to hire any faculty. (Which means no academic jobs for them once they finish grad school.)

This line of thinking doesn't make sense. The zero-sympathy-no-exceptions attitude comes from lacking context of the problem, so hopefully I can help.

While the person you describe probably exists, it's not all 18% of students struggling with payments. I'd just like to say that being aggressive helps nobody.

> Instate tuition at VA Tech is 13k for the year, if you live in Texas, UT is 4-5k a semester. While not cheap, this is far from unaffordable.

Are the people born away from the coasts out of luck then? There are dozens states in the Midwest with cheap tuition, but after graduation there aren't any jobs waiting.

The quality of education is usually poor when professors teach subjects for fields that they've never been a part of.

Students know these things, and feel it's worth taking on debt to get a better education and live somewhere with opportunities.

I'm assuming you work in tech. Would your employer hire someone in their 30's with no relevant work history? I've worked at two of the large tech companies and two smaller companies, and I know they wouldn't consider it.

> In parts of Europe there the expression: "That's Texas." It roughly means "That's crazy." but with a 'Murica flavor to it.

According to this article [1] in Washington Post, the first occurrence of Texas as "crazy" in Norwegian dates to 1957. Makes me wonder if it's used this way in other European countries too, and whether or not the etymology is independent.

It's worth noting that unlike the term "Amerikanske tilstander" ("American conditions") in politics (as shorthand for implying your opponent is pushing for whichever stereotypically bad thing about American politics fits best in the specific policy area), the use of "Texas" refers to wild west movies, and so is about 19th century lawlessness, not modern Texas (though there certainly is still a stereotype of Texas as being at least, well, somewhat Texas)

> but if I were the sort of person who wanted a specific gift I would find it annoying to have to justify it, explain what the gift really means to me on a deep level, and so on

That's fine if you don't give a shit whether or not you receive the expected gift. But throwing a tantrum after the fact and writing an entire blog post about it is unreasonable. She (they) clearly has deeper problems than not receiving what she wanted. Those problems can't be resolved without communication.
I dislike this term, and I'm dismayed by its recent leakage into the mainstream. I have yet to see an explanation for what it means, that is distinguishable from "being a person." The people who use the term usually seem exceptionally entitled and self-centered. The assumption that women do more of whatever it's supposed to entail is sexist, and I see little evidence for it. It seems like an academic-sounding way to say that women are better people, plus they don't get rewarded for being better people, so life is unfair to women and men need to do something about this.
How would they track pull requests? I agree that it would be nice if it wasn't just restricted to github and the kinds of projects most likely to be hosted there, but it does simplify things on their end.

I do wish they had a way to prevent people from gaming it with fake projects just to get a free T-shirt, especially when there still seem to be others that never receive one. It also just goes against the spirit of the event.
> most universities have moved to act more and more like for-profit entities.

I think this reflects a larger trend.

Most institutions are taking on the rituals of the dominant organizing principle in society: the corporation.

I believe this is why church groups are having "annual general meetings" and that formerly not for profit institutions are mimicking the organizational structure of corporations: meetings, hierarchical teams, layers of administrators etc...
Sadly indications are strong that this is not just a problem in a niche field. As I understand it, the problem is not even just limited to the social sciences (although it might be a bigger problem there).
Resources are not limited at all, we have more resources today in the US than any group has ever had in all of human history. We just choose to allocate them on things that are bad, like bombing hospitals or buying tanks for police departments or jailing millions for nothing or corporate welfare, and not things that are good, like learning or healthcare. In the golden age of prosperity for the US, the highest tax bracket was 94%. We tax nothing and demand nothing because we have been trained to think we deserve nothing; through no fault of your own, you have been tricked into accepting this status quo as 'necessary' when it is anything but, it is explicitly contrived and enforced by wealth to keep wealth in the hands of the wealthy at the expensive of the lives and livelihood of everyone else.

Self-directed learning is great, but if you've ever been a teacher or a student in a genuinely difficult subject you know autodidactism is VERY limited and works for a tiny few on a tiny number of subjects. Autodidacts generally have an oversimplified understanding of a subject they think they know because they lack the social engagement in the topic and deep understanding that comes from engaging with true expertise. They think they know far more than they do, nearly every single time in my experience interacting with them. Which is not bad, as a teacher this is an excellent place to have your students start because you can quickly disabuse them of this notion and they become eager to learn more.
I feel like China is really starting to feel the pain of being associated with NK. I can imagine that they will be pretty thorough on this.

This sounds like something people could perceive about Clemson so I'll use them as an example.

In SC funding went down while tuition went up and lottery scholarships went up. The university budget is around $800 million / year and the athletic department across all sports is about $80 million / year. Of that budget, it's entirely self sustained but it's also almost entirely spent. It's performance has no impact on the rest of the university except for alumni engagement/excitement. Even if it were making a $20 million dollar profit it's still a drop in the bucket compared to the total university budget.

At the same time, applications are through the roof and there's not enough room to take everybody (but they are investing in new buildings to increase capacity). The ratio of in state to out of state has always remained close to 60/30 though.

Admin costs have increased but the prestige factor has gone up significantly as well. Clemson went from being the #70 something PUBLIC university to a top 20 in the span of 2 decades.

As someone who often has anxiety: that anxiety is often irrational.

How did the election prove it?
It wasn't always this way, though. Tuition rates outpacing inflation has only been over the last few decades.

You're right that each actor is making (more or less) rational decisions, but federal subsidies for student loans are what throws a wrench into the mix. Previously, the decisions were all the same, but consumers had much more limited capital and were far more price sensitive.

Now they can get bigger loans much more easily, and sure enough, they're willing to pay higher prices. The less the consumer knows / cares about the price of something, the faster that price will increase. See also: health care in the US.

>Since when did marketing nudity become a praiseworthy thing?

That's the beauty of nudity (and of art). You don't have to like it. No one is forcing you.

What you choose to praise regarding nudity and/or art is up to you. Clearly this commenter does not view HH's work and life at all as praiseworthy. That's perfectly fine to think if you want.
A compromise could also be to divide the tasks differently: instead of the tidy and less tidy partners being 50/50 on taking the garbage out, perhaps it should be 99/1 on garbage (the less tidy person only handles it in unusual circumstances) but the less tidy person takes on different responsibilities like running the finances or taking on car maintenance or cooking dinner.
Technically, that's correct, although it's a conceit that was foisted upon us by the software industry, partly as an artifact of copyright law and partly to gain more control over their product than others could gain.

Six courses, $40,000 in pay; about $7,000 per course.

If we make a few rough assumptions based on the $1500 rent figure, and 3 credits average, the college is probably charging around $1,000 per credit, with a 30-40 person attendance per class.

So for one of those courses, the college is pulling in an estimated $90,000, and paying $7,000.

Huh.
>Let me be more clear, then: saying that a female author is sexist for expecting her partner to take an equal share of the emotional labor of their shared life is beyond disgusting.

Where did this "emotional labor" term even come from? Talking to people on the phone, doing household work -- why does this qualify as "emotional behavior", and not actual, you know, labor? Considering that plenty of people do both of these things as part of their dayjob.

When I hear that term, I think of having to walk on eggshells around someone who is an emotionally abusive partner.
Couldn't agree more. It's not so much about the prestige but guaranteeing good employment options.
am not sure if this article and the recent naval tweetstorm are in any way pertinent to stem. i understand the value of phds in romance lit & english & so forth is zero. but in a stem phd, the timelines are 4-5 years, the educational content is substantially rigorous , seriously cannot be acquired by self-study of textbooks or youtube vids, and job prospects outside of academia are 200k+ in the bay area, thanks to the resurgence of computationally hard careers like ml/ds/ai . it is definitely worthwhile to pursue grad school in stem; worst case you can always fall back on react 24 or jquery 48 or whatever shitty version is out 4 years from now.

Yes, but that’s not because she’s a woman (as she appears to claim), it’s because she hasn’t come to some sort of agreement about how to run the house. She’s talking past her husband to millions of people.

I was married to a woman who (after marriage) was diagnosed with a personality disorder. Reading this article was like a look back into my marriage.

I was always being told about everything I did that failed to meet her standards, or failed to do at all, and how it was because I didn't care about her enough to do it the way she wanted it done.

Then, when I'd try to do things in anticipation of her ever changing priorities, or to offload things from her plate I'd be read the riot act. Clearly it wasn't because I was trying to be considerate and meet her ever changing standards. I was obviously because I was criticizing her in some kind of chauvinistic way, or undermining her position in the household.

I'm very happy to be out of that situation, and I completely agree that normalizing this type of behavior is ridiculous.

Probably it's even more of a tournament economy that that. Tenured professor, possibly with an endowed chair, at a top-tier university would be considered by most to be a pretty nice life--especially in areas where the cost-of-living is relatively modest. If they're in a field they can earn consulting dollars, all the better.

Tenured professor at some small liberal arts college usually isn't doing as well.

You can buy containers that are new, one trip, or well-worn. Usually the one trip containers are significantly cheaper than new, and well-worn are somewhat cheaper than that. But it varies, and I've occasionally seen new ones be cheaper for odd sizes.
