Student loans were made completely non-dischargable in 2005, well after Bill Clinton left office.

He vetoed an earlier form of the bankruptcy bill in 2000.

Notably Elizabeth Warren lobbied against this bankruptcy bill in one of her major forays into national politics.

He did sign the Higher Education Amendment in 1998, however that was bipartisan and near unanimous in both Congress. That bill introduced federally funded work study, and new types of loans such as PLUS and Perkins loans which did likely contribute to the cost inflation. It appears support for increased financialization of education went across the aisle at that time.

Pretty much exactly what I expected. Maybe the author should just have more reasonable expectations.
You might call that a failure of management.
Selling fan-art should honestly just be allowed at this point. There are a lot of rules that should be in place like not being able to directly use the official assets or labeling that it's 3rd-party and not endorsed but these kinds of things should be able to operate above board.

The current system of "don't get on the copyright holder's bad side" is silly.

I sell on Etsy. It's harder, yes, since the explosion of clearly mass-produced knockoffs. However, with quality products (and especially a focus on producing quality photos of those products) sellers can still do well, and plenty of buyers recognize the difference. In fact plenty of buyers deliberately avoid those super low priced items because they are looking for legitimately handmade quality items. I actually raised my prices to help distinguish myself in that way and while I don't sell as many items, I still sell about the same $ amount.
Opportunities abound in this space for someone to do things better for consumers. The e-com retail space is soooo fragmented. Take furniture for example, a maker/dealer has all of the following online retail options (and probably more): Etsy, eBay, ApartmentTherapy, 1stDibs, Chairish -- and those are just the marketplaces. They can also chose a more roll their own such as an ecom site from SquareSpace, Shopify, Wix etc. The same is true, but even more fragmented, in the area of fashion. Add to the above PoshMark, theRealReal and many others.

The fragmentation is a disservice to consumers. If this move by Etsy leads for vendors to further disperse across some of the other options, then it adds even more barriers for consumers who want to see the full breadth of offerings in a particular vertical. It's unclear Google is really interested in or up to the task of resolving this.

(Shameless plug time.) So we built ATTIC, a hyperlocal search and discovery engine for a limited set of product verticals (furniture, decor, fashion). Etsy makes up a fair share of the product you'll find, but we do it in a curated manner, namely by location. Even more important though, we also index products from hundreds of other stores, dealers and makers that are on other platforms. We're quickly approaching 1000 stores, currently across 11 cities and several more to come. See https://attic.city.

In the end, I'm not sure consumers really care where they get their product from. They're not that loyal. They care about the product and the ease of getting the product. If vendors flee Etsy, the customers will follow. We're hoping we can eliminate the worry about or need to figure out where those dealers went.
It is difficult to imagine people who are heavy Excel users being ok with macros being disabled wholesale.
That's an interesting point.

The core reason why shipping costs were pulled out separately is that it allowed the customer to choose between various options freely, if they needed it tomorrow vs. whenever. If there's no choice, there's much less incentive to do that.

However, there's still at least a little something I can think of; shipping is generally not part of the sales tax. Rolling it into the price means you're also making your customers pay sales tax on it. That depends on whether you've got to pay tax on the item in question, of course, which varies every which way.
> With containers you can have infra locally in your DEV environment and have clean slates.

True, but you can do that with plain system containers such as with lxd, rather than having that bundled with the huge paradigm shift that Docker comes with.
so, i've tried this out. it seems like, unless i'm missing something, the zones can only be used on your primary display right now. that makes it useless for me.

another commenter mentioned maxto so i tried it out as well. it looks like maxto is exactly what fancy zones will be once it's finished.
There used to be a site for exactly this called custommade.com. Aside from a list of items that others have already made for you to browse, you could also put up a description of the project and let craftsmen contact you with questions or bids for the project.

I'm not entirely sure what happened but they ended up refocusing on strictly custom jewelry instead of custom whatever you want that someone else can make. It's really unfortunate because it was an excellent service with very talented makers and I haven't been able to find anything similar to replace it.
I would rather a 2.0 be curated sellers and not open to everyone. It wouldn't be able to scale to some giant size but it would be nice to shop a selection of quality items. Handmade or factory-made doesn't really factor in for me. I just feel browsing Etsy right now is like looking at a Teespring for crafts.
Just read an article about how these changes (and others) are making Etsy profitable and competitive.

A fantastic goal that's sadly incorrect. African Americans graduating university is still a very low rate.

So the goal was not successful, but the consequences is as bad as ever. The mistake made by Clinton now has this major issue that's being discussed by the Democratic presidential nominees. https://time.com/5613425/student-loan-forgiveness-bernie-san...

I suspect the better solution would have been Clinton not screwing up in the first place; but better yet until this is fixed the tuition problem will continue to be worse and worse.
Even worse, I've skimmed the discussions that precipitated the ban. I don't even understand why the ban was applied.

It's not as if the person couldn't take "no" for an answer; the administrators seem unable to give the person a definite "no" at all. Then they applied the "nuclear option" when they got exhausted, and made a public spectacle of the whole matter.

What a weird way to run a project.
> You either have fixed layout ones or dynamic tiling window managers instead of 1 tool trying to do both.

I must be missing something, because the 'dynamic' tiling window managers are 1 tool doing both fixed and floating (or stacking) layouts.
Who is they?

Etsy managed to grow by taking on VC money which comes with strings attached. It then went public, to satisfy the VCs, which also comes with strings attached. Moreover, if not for VC money then they probably wouldn't have taken over the market compared to a better funded competitor.

So, to me, the they here is the whole VC ecosystem.
This is a trash article, it doesn't talk about how your brain changes when you stop believing its just a bunch of personal opinion.

No it does not, the chemical reactions in your brain are not like taking meth. I see this constantly its like they think their audience are just a bunch of druggies and to make something relatable they have to say "its like drugs!". I have tried cocaine and can say first hand it's nothing like sitting in church.
What’s your implication here? That they won’t be able to do it? Or are you solely concerned with the good budgetary health of EU institutions?

Regarding the mouse... thats the entire point of i3, i.e. to make it all keyboard-driven.

It's sort of like saying "the problem with cars is that they don't make effective use of the horse".

With Fidelity, to authenticate yourself when you call in on the phone, you enter your username and password on the keypad. (They've recently also introduced a "voiceprint" method which bypasses that though.) You use asterisk on the keypad for special characters. One hopes they've hashed your password for storage in both its original and DMTF compatible formats. This may or may not be related to their dumb password rules.

I imagine that some here have concerns and insecurities about how their comments and communication may likewise be interpreted, or misinterpreted. I suspect there is a not uncommon fear of unwittingly ending up in a similar situation.
I interviewed with Apple for a research and development related position a few years ago and although the process is notoriously shrouded in secrecy and n-levels of NDAs, I noticed the interview began to shift from assessing my technical ability and team fit to prying for information about a very specific set of technologies I'd worked closely with. Those technologies had some odd turns of events with shifts in private IP ownership no one seemed to know about, including leading industry competitors I spoke with.

Perhaps I'm paranoid but it felt like Apple had purchased some of those private technologies and were wasting my time with a bogus interview prying for information about what I knew of the system before the IP mysteriously changed hands, likely because I had more levels of access to something they wanted to commercialize in the future. I haven't seen anything pushed to market yet but I've seen some semi related products creep up recently.

The uniqueness was an artifact of the lack of advanced manufacturing and standardization was far lesser period even with things like munition armaments. It is kind of like complaining soldiers soldiers aren't as good at tetsudo formations, aren't as good at swinging swords and spears, and they don't buy every bit of gear they use in spite of being citizens.

Technically we did so much better than the Romans for goods availability across broad distances - aluminum used to be more expensive than gold and platinum (once it was judged as anything but worthless). The Washington Monument being aluminum tipped was showing off US production capabilities.

Now it is used for disposable drink cans which to denormalize things a bit to how /weird/ that would be - it would be like alchemy made gold so cheap that if you dumped a sacks of coins in a beggar's container they would be upset about you pouring garbage on them".

Materially about the only thing we lack in comparison are slaves and in most places legalized prostitution.

The lack of a social space is a valid complaint as my previous paragraphs highlighted the society in which they served changed vastly. Launching your own forum as a mayor wouldn't work as it did before as the nature of transit, employment, and communication changed around it.

Malls did serve as a pedestrian stagnant oasis in a desert of unwalkable road networks. They may not be that great but they were better than many alternatives.
The numbers of uses are too large to count. I'll give one example: The DOT in my state has given large grants to use lidar from UAVs to be able to automatically identify wetlands.
It’s also people thinking an open license is a free-for-all. I put out some simple scripts some time ago to move data across a couple of sites, under MIT - super liberal license, “just keep the credits” and you can do anything you want. Simple, right? After a few years I checked the forks and the first (and often only) thing they were doing was to strip attribution everywhere. I mean, it’s github, you forked right from my repo, everyone can see it. And why would you do that anyway, if you’re after publicity just add your name on top! I opened issues and most of them halfheartedly apologized and put back my notices, others ignored me, others pulled down the repo altogether. I bet they’ve all re-stripped it back, by now.

It would be cool if the license metadata currently existing on GH could be extended to carry names, in a way that makes it impossible to strip attribution (depending on the license, of course).

According to Stallman, MIT is compatible with GPL but the reverse isn't true. You can freely use MIT code (including linking) in a GPL project so long as the source is available.

In Rust most code is dual licensed as MIT or Apache 2. You can pick which one to use although IIRC Apache 2 is considered the "primary license" because it provides protections from patent trolls and an explicit contribution licensing clause. However Apache 2 isn't compatible with GPL.
My best argument is that there is no point to discuss any of it. All the people you discuss are irrelevant.

As someone who owns an EV, but doesn't have a charger at home, I wish I could up vote this more :-) The biggest surprise for me is how much I enjoy charging the car -- it gets me out.

If you're on an X11 based desktop system I would highly recommend Quicktile[1]. I have a 43 inch 4k too and the 3x1 layout is one of the most common I use. Centering a single window in the middle is also very useful. On my mac I use Spectactle[2] instead and I have the keyboard shortcuts mapped the same on both systems. If I would use Windows this looks like a good option.

The problem comes in when you can anticipate a problem and also anticipate not being given the resources to solve the problem then when you do have those resources now.

For example, had a user who wanted a document produced in one specific format. They promised this was what they wanted and it wouldn't change. It changed 5 times as we were nearing release. So I over-engineered it to allow a template to produce the document that can easily be changed (compared to the release process for a code change). It ended up being used numerous times, despite the problem were given clearly states an unchanging template.

i3 acts much differently because if you open 1 window it takes up your whole screen and if you open another window it will be split 50/50 (the direction depends on what hotkey you hit). And it keeps going like this. You can just naturally use your system and let the tiling window manager worry about resizing things and you can fine tune the sizes with hotkeys on the spot if you desire to have non-symmetrical splits.

This is why i3 is classified as a manual tiling window manager. You get to control how the splits happen on the spot, rather than it being automatic as long as you pre-configure the layouts beforehand.

i3 also lets you optionally choose to make windows floating on demand with hotkeys or even pre-configure certain apps or window titles to be floating by default. There's stacking as well.

This video does a good job showing how i3 works and feels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKviflL9XeI (and how it's drastically different than Fancy Zones).
Being just a little bit kind is a highly effective strategy for someone to get to wherever it is they want to go in life, so much some people seem to have kindness conditioned in to them. There are some almost pathologically kind people out there and it can get amazing results - but explaining the benefit is a little bit subtle and they probably didn't logic their way into that position.

Probably a correlation-not-causation with the fact that the tiny pool of people who get scammed aren't people with effective interpersonal strategies who have already set up a good romantic relationship.

The problem isn't p-values, the problem is a binary distinction between p=0.049 and p=0.051. The problem would go away if everyone understood p-values, or we replaced use of the term "statistically significant" with "3% probability we're just seeing a pattern by accident". Renaming the term to something that sounds just as binary isn't any different.

Your post is full of strawmen and logical fallacies. You cherry pick statements in order to make your own position sound more rational. You lump Christianity into one big group and then ignore the anti-science crusade currently going on by most of Christianity. You dislike definitions so you make up new ones and claim that are better because only then can you claim that they are silly. Every single part of your post shows you didn't understand or possibly read much of the article. The article at hand didn't say religion is silly, it didn't say it was wrong. The article simply described that more people in the United States are losing faith and that it's a gradual process where faith gets replaced by the brain by some other thing whether that be sports, science, or some other thing it didn't matter. I'm sure you're a wonderful person, but your arguments only sound clever if you make up arguments or you already fervently believe solely in Christianity.

Well, Amazon did go out and create a new seller venue, "Handmade", specifically to compete with Etsy in this area. So it's not like some random retailer complaint, Etsy legitimately has a new struggle as a result. It's honest competition though. And plenty of Etsy sellers (me, for example) checked out Amazon Handmade, hated it, and still just sell on Etsy. So Amazon can compete on prices and a larger captive audience, Etsy is still competing on quality, unique marketplace (though more generic than it used to be) and a better seller experience.

They already do, I worked a case last week where that happened.

Trickbot for example will be on a machine for 2-5 months so that it's in your backups, and is commonly followed by Ryuk ransomware.

So if you get hit with Ryuk and just restore from backups without re-mediating anything you will likely be hit with Ryuk again.
Somebody pointed out that the text on the TV is actually the same size as the text used to be on the Mac--it's just that the TV is mounted too far away from the people for that scale to be the correct one. So I think maybe the Mac and the TV have successfully conspired to achieve some kind of real-space equivalence on the TV (though the Mac is now unusable by whoever is presenting since the fonts are all three times too small).

My point is less technical: when a new display device appears, the computer can't know how that image is reaching users. It could be VR goggles or it could be a jumbotron in a stadium. A better design would focus making it easier for the user to tune the scale, rather than assuming that the Mac knows best.
