I'm betting people will say administration, but I don't think even the swarms of useless educrats can account for the entire difference.

Other possibilities:

Direct funding from states to public universities has decreased. Some portion of tuition increase has gone to replace the revenue lost from reduction in subsidies.

Capital costs from new campus buildings have gone up, as universities add expensive features that are not strictly required for education, such as apartment-style dormitories, or luxurious fitness centers for faculty and students. The university's money is usually fungible, so housing and recreation fees may be higher for students using those buildings than for the palmetto-bug dorms and century-old fieldhouse, yet still subsidized out of tuition revenue.

The aforementioned swarms of useless educrats may be corrupt, diverting university revenues to their own pockets via schemes that require their academic credentials or administrative authority.

Universities may be underwriting student loan debt, trading cash now for future income streams from future repayment. In that case, the money isn't even there yet, and the students first have to graduate and start earning before there is any of that money to spend.

I know that Indiana University dumped a lot of money into its "18/20" retirement plan, to attract better quality professors. It sounds very expensive. At some point, they realized it would bankrupt the university, and stopped offering it, but current students will still be paying for it until all those old professors that got it die off. So, maybe tuition increases are going to retired employees.

Last, we have accounting fictions. Universities charge $X on paper, to receive or maximize some third-party benefit, then rebate $Y to the student in the form of grants or scholarships. The money was never there, except on paper.
That more seems like there's a hole in the market for a better gui.
Arguably the best science isn't making predictions about the future simply because even our best social sciences (anthropology, sociology) typically refrain from that sort of predictive modelling simply because humans in aggregate and in long enough term scales are wildly unpredictable. (The magic of Asimov's psychohistory remains that we don't seem likely of actually developing something like it in the real world.)

Apocalyptic views are both the best and worst prediction right now simply because they are the easiest prediction in how human civilizations react to great external threat/change. (The other draw to Asimov's Foundation novels being that they include several relative apocalypses, of course, which were unavoidable even when predictively modelling them, with the bonus optimism that maybe smart people could help make such situations at least somewhat better and more bearable through preparation.)

Ultimately it seems like the only predictive thing science can tell us about how apocalyptic things will get has a lot less to do with the raw facts of climate models and a lot more with the heavy open questions about how civilization and society intends to react, and that has so many strange and open questions about people and future leadership.

Not that I disagree, but I had the opportunity to have both cases, each at separate schools. Having a (capable) full-time adviser meant that they were well-versed in the requirements of the program, as well as how to navigate administrative side of things, such as adding classes even if you don't fill the prereqs, etc.

With a faculty member, I found that they were more focused on their actual faculty/teaching duties, and had trouble with the more administrative side of things.

This is also probably dependent on the quality of the school

This seems like a good start. I've often wondered why someone hasn't recreated something akin to a modern VB6. Allow users to drag/drop things, add some glue code in some intermediate language, and output to Android, IOS, or even native. Java came somewhat close, but I think if done well could be a huge success.

Totally. I've worked remotely for years, and my plan should this take off is to build a fully remote company. Networking remotely though is hard and it's nice to interact with and learn from like minded folks is what I was trying to say.That said I do appreciate the resources! Will give them a look.
A family friend was the proud owner of the last outhouse in Boise city limits. All things considered, I'm not too shocked at this omission...

The way I see it U.S is just bad at regulating things, and blames this on regulation as a concept, instead of its own implementation.

Any attempts at actually regulating things in the U.S are watered down by "but free markets!" and "oh no big government!", and the shitty compromise results in giant loopholes for regulatory capture, and toothless govt agencies that can't regulate what they were created for.
I think other people already have great advice. What I can add is: work on shielding this database with a service because 18 apps fighting for the same data source is hell.

I played around with Bluetooth Low Energy beacons a couple years ago and it seemed really tricky to locate things. Reflections, walls, etc. just introduced too many random variables.

I'd love it to be better. (And maybe newer versions of at least full Bluetooth are.) Something I imagine to be useful if it were sufficiently reliable is some sort of "digital tether" between an Apple Watch and iPhone that buzzes you if you get too far separated. (Obviously not something to use all the time but could be useful in some circumstances.)
I don't use Facebook, but I would think a good transparent way to deal with this is open a page to the public that lists the ads a company is running along with statistics like how many times the company has violated policies, how many ad runs they've accumulated and how many dollars have been spent to run those ads.
Keeping in mind this whole thread is about the process of manufacturing aircraft, do you think this approach works equally well with traditional manufacturing?

My experience is that these lean approaches work well for something low on the severity scale, like an SaaS solution, but can more easily falter with complex safety-critical systems that blend multiple domains (e.g., mechanical, software, etc.) I think sometimes people interpret the process rigor that gets added to critical design to management bloat.

> an analysis by a professor at California Polytechnic University, Pomona, found that, while the total number of full-time faculty members in the C.S.U. system grew from 11,614 to 12,019 between 1975 and 2008, the total number of administrators grew from 3,800 to 12,183 — a 221 percent increase.

> According to the Department of Education data, administrative positions at colleges and universities grew by 60 percent between 1993 and 2009, which Bloomberg reported was 10 times the rate of growth of tenured faculty positions.
Actually, if you look at the source for that claim[0], it says that some were from BuzzFeed News and some from BuzzFeed; they're not the same.

Besides, it's an almost meaningless statistic on its own without some point of comparison, isn't it? How (un)critical were they of other public figures?

I never understand why earnings per share is always mentioned. Without knowing the number of shares and some math the number is totally useless. It's like saying comparing the price of a single share of two companies. It's meaningless on its own.
If unions are just about extracting higher wages and not about combatting injustice, then, IMO, labor organizing should not be protected by law, since it's desired end is to use the threat of financial harm to force companies and individuals to enter into arrangements that they would not obtain otherwise. Should a company's suppliers enjoy legal protection so that they can band together for the purpose of using threat of financial harm to extract higher prices from the company and preventing the company from doing business with other suppliers?
The thing about AI/CV and other interpretation simulators is that there is always a quantization of nature in the end result. This is why the Uncanny Valley exists, "Uncanny Valley" being a term that refers to the difference between nature and the model itself, and I'm pretty sure it can't be engineered out of the technology. That is, the simulator can not picture an object from any angle, only an angle greater than its mathematical-precision limits. Analog vs. digital doesn't always have to be about audio. ;)

So, "construct an internal 3D model of [something in the natural world]" will always be deficient, and any conclusions derived from these models will always have inherent errors (even before you get to algo bias). Self-driving cars, airport face-reading gates, Pixar blockbusters...their models can never represent reality in anything but a temporarily-convincing way. Those that affect policy and peoples' lives (aka not-entertainment) will always come up with the wrong conclusion sometimes, sometimes fatally.

Sounds like 1/16th of a ZMOB! ("The computer of the future, using the processor of the past.")

https://www.ijcai.org/Proceedings/81-2/Papers/071.pdf

>ZMOB: A NEW COMPUTING ENGINE FOR AI. Chuck Rieger, Randy Trigg, Bob Bane

>ABSTRACT:
A new research multiprocessor named ZMOB is
described, and its significance to AI research is
surveyed and characterized. ZMOB, under current
construction and scheduled for completion late
Fall 1981, is a 256 processor machine with a high
speed, interprocessor communications system called
the "conveyor belt", a non-blocking, 20
megabyte/second message switcher. Because of its
large number of processors, high computational
throughput (100 million instructions/sec), large
cumulative high speed memory (16 megabytes), high
interprocessor communications bandwidth, and
external communications and sensing channels, ZMOB
opens some new areas of exploration in object-oriented modeling,
knowledge-based and domain
expert systems, intelligent sensing and robotics,
and distributed perceptual and cognitive modeling.
The paper attempts to blend a description of
ZMOB's hardware with ideas about where and how it
fits into various types of AI research.

>The fastest Z80 computer ever designed and built was almost certainly ZMOB, a 256 node Z80A cluster designed and built at University of Maryland as part of NASA NSG-7253. That's a total of 1GHz of Z80 power.

No, I simply see it as one party to a transaction, similar to any of the company's other suppliers.

Editing to expand: Being able to depend on a regular paycheck is a helluva thing. Sure, you don't participate in the upside of a company. But you don't participate in the downside, either. That's the bargain that labor makes. If you don't like the bargain, then take some risk and start a company. Most people prefer a steady paycheck, though.
Thanks, "a good start" is what we think too, still long way to go. Yeah, I think that's a step further than what we're focusing on now, enabling Figma (and Sketch et al in the future) users to import their designs, add API connections and bind design elements to API output/input. Basically making designers avoid having to write code (hearsay here on HN but here we are :) )

Personally, I've never used PHONY, or had a need to.

That said, your bash examples are pretty simple - I especially like the 2nd example, as it would trivially allow having targets that ran other targets, e.g. an "all" target from a makefile:

```
all: build push

build:
@docker build --tag ${IMG} --tag ${UNSTABLE} .

rebuild:
@docker build --no-cache --tag ${IMG} --tag ${UNSTABLE} .

push:
@docker push ${NAME}
```
Awesome list! I hadn't heard of some of these. At a cursory glance it appears more of the same. I don't think I need a crypo currency when I post a picture of my dog to share with friends. I'll do more research on current alternatives but from what I've seen they don't seem to offer the basic functionality of Facebook. Maybe I'm over simplifying the concept but wasn't the idea of Facebook just a website to share stuff with friends and family?

Enhancing an existing alternative is interesting. Do you think it would be a matter of contributing to some of the current open source alternatives?

And evading paywalls disproportionately impacts the journalists creating the stories you seem to value, though for some reason refuse to pay for.
Unless you think the NHS are burning the extra money, there are more services offered than before.

It may feel like there's less, because there's more people now, so the increase in services is offset by the increase in population. But that's also not a cut.

There's a fundamental design issue with any system that combines free healthcare with free movement. Neither party is interested in changing this situation, but Labour don't even pretend to try - they have adopted policies at their conference of essentially eliminating all immigration controls. It's hard to imagine what kind of budget a nationalised health service would require given no constraints on served population. Effectively it requires an infinite budget.
And most cities require those issues to be corrected by the landlord all the time, and if they aren't you have a case to pay your rent in escrow until the problem is fixed.

Is this abused? Sure. But its a lot better than living in a tent on the street where you are guaranteed rodent issues along with far worse health hazards.
Non-solicits are not enforceable in CA as a matter of law.

In 2019, CA courts ruled that this also applied even while the soliciting employee is still employed at their old job.

Of course, a competitor can and will sue if they feel like it financially benefits them to do so, such as by interfering in your company's business procedures or discouraging other employees from leaving. This doesn't mean that what they're doing is lawful or that they won't face legal penalties for their actions.

Startup School is now designed as a remote program.

It'd be interesting to hear from them about building all remote team culture with transparency and accountability from the start vs also-remoting-now. Are text-chat "digital stand up meetings" with quality transcripts of each team member's responses to the three questions enough? ( Yesterday / Today and Tomorrow / Obstacles // What did I do since the last time we met? What will I do before the next time we meet? What obstacles are blocking my progress? )

Or are there longer term planning sessions focusing on a plan for delivering value on a far longer term than first getting the MVP down and maximizing marginal profit by minimizing costs?
Thank you. Both for the code and for giving me an inspiration. :)
Are those startups listed on their page actually using them? Is this something you were able to independently verify?

I'm surprised that you're getting downvoted.

An obvious parallel is that BTC — easy to surveil — still dwarfs XMR — obfuscated chain — in usage on darknet markets. People are generally eager to accept security tradeoffs in order to use the convenient default, even in high-stakes situation (e.g. dealing drugs).

As a lover of the Z80 and "what if" scenarios, I think this project is fantastic. Hacking in the purest form, for no other reason than you could. Someday I'd like to do something similar, but until then I'm just happy to know it's possible and live vicariously through updates.
You are assuming that companies somehow hold more power in negotiating with their employees. But it's not at all clear to me that that's the case. Both parties are able to walk away from negotiations and fulfill their needs with other parties. There is a symmetry there that speaks against there being any power imbalance. What is the mechanism by which you think companies wield more power than employees?
They also have a form on their site to submit corrections. Maxmind's db is so prevalent now, I suspect (indirect) users submit all the info they need nowadays.
Adding a minute to some deployment process can be fairly significant. The docker push and pull is probably 70% of my deployment process and I already have ~100MB or less images.

I don't think the concern is 'how long does deployment take' but 'how fast can we iterate?'; Building and loading the images on a local dev machine to test a 2 second change would take much longer with larger images. Getting feedback of a PR merge from a CI build agent would take minutes longer.

I don't think the importance has been oversold.

I don’t think it is sleazy to ask for feedback on a product mockup.

I do think there is an issue with claiming that the mockup is already a product that has been developed and is in use - there is no need to mislead in this way.
I'm pretty sure that high performance open source CPUs will have their own obscure problems. Too much complexity, too many dependencies, too many possible feature interactions.
In neither sense, because a popular movement to replace the Constitution could only succeed by replacing the existing legislature with one which is amenable to such a course of action.

It's far-fetched, I readily concede that. But it has a lot to recommend it, the very act of proposing and bringing to reality a Constitutional Convention would be a powerful engine of change, with a better-than-even chance we'd end up with a better system than we have now.
I had never heard of that machine until I posted this and someone sent me a link to it. The architecture of the ZedRipper is actually incredibly similar - each CPU has its own dedicated 64KB of memory and then an I/O mapped high-speed synchronous ring bus connects them all. On a MHz * CPUs basis, mine should actually be slightly faster =)

>I have seen a cultural change around non-engineering professions moving in on decision-making-territory that would have previously been an engineer's.

The same thing happened where I work (as a developer), but a funny thing is, since most of the upper people are a bit clueless about the domain (it's formalized in the code, they don't read code, and their turnover is high), when my team asks questions about specifications, they can be redirected back to us, from people that know we know the details. We also often don't waste time with questions and just have meetings with specification people to explain them what they should actually have asked us to do.

That said, things don't always work out as nicely, and every few years we still have to brace ourselves to survive architectural tidal waves from astronaut architects who seduced credulous management, which we do by fighting to keep our module purely domain-oriented and independent from any particular stack (other than its language).
They are very concerned about secrecy. It's just part of the culture; you know it when you sign on.

Apple is quite supportive of Open Source in an official capacity. I would actually say that the best talent almost certainly does not work on Open Source projects in their spare time (though quite a few talented people do get paid to work on Open Source projects). The "best talent" tends to have other hobbies outside of coding -- well-rounded individuals make better team members, especially when working with non-technical team members. A lot of young engineers don't appreciate this until they're older.
I don't understand this sentiment. In-state tuition for state school in still only around $15,000 a year. Assuming your children get no financial aid and take out zero loans, you still only need to have $60k saved for four years. That's not much more than it was when I went to college fourteen years ago.
