Because many (most?) states have been cutting state funding for public universities for years, IIRC. (See, for example, https://www.pbs.org/newshour/education/most-americans-dont-r...). It wouldn't have been sensible to impose price caps while cutting funding at the same time.
This is not realistic, sadly. American universities are businesses, they have been turned into money-making enterprises, education is a concern but not really a primary one.
I would argue that this is larger than just parents.

As a society, this should be a common aim -- to 'socialize' our children.

Growing up, albeit not in the US, strangers would scold us kids for being noisy/bratty/destructive/etc. And our parents would be on the stranger's side, adding their two cents on top.

Can't imagine that today. IMO the loss of the freedom to treat your local neighborhood as one big, loosely connected family (as a child and adult) is one of the biggest reasons for increase in depression, anxiety and lack of social/soft skills. Another reason is that local neighborhoods are few and far between because of how we've structured our cities.

Once the role of professional college administrator became a thing, then they took over. They're paid more than the faculty now. And they run it like a body shop. To pay for their hyperinflated salaries and padded staff.

I wish I were being pessimistic about this.
Short term thinking goes nowhere. Sure, fossil fuels are cheap right now, but it'll bounce back later. One shouldn't make any long term decisions based on temporary market conditions.

Little has changed in the big picture that would not have changed anyways. Shale plays are not cash cows; shale wells have short production span, but are expensive and risky to develop.

Renewables are increasingly the real economic option; they make sense regardless of factors like politics and beliefs.
That's not the kind of rate limiting he's asking about. He is talking about the data stream being throttled.
I think it depends on what you're doing. If you want to be an artist or a writer, maybe community college would be a better deal.

On the other hand, if you want to be an engineer then it's pretty important to go to a reputable institution - at least in the field I work in.
Point is more that if a successful separatist movement in China, which just redraws borders without closing any power plants, is all it takes to turn that reasoning into "we need to do something about USA", then it seems like a wonky measurement.

A measurement that says China is the problem but not Huabei, Dongbei, Huadong, Zhongnan, Xinan, or Xibei, is wonky.

A measurement that says the EU emits too much carbon but France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, and Poland don't, is also wonky.

If you start from a premise that each human has an equal right to emit carbon as any other, regardless of which country they're born in, then you naturally get per-capita measures as a result. An absolute measure implies that each country has an equal right to emit carbon, but since countries are fluid and artificial constructs, that results in some pretty weird consequences, like each person in Britain being allowed to burn more gasoline if Scotland leaves the UK. Growing up in times of stability it might seem like countries are concrete and unchangeable, but borders move and countries appear and disappear all the time, and an international law that only applied to the top emitter would likely be enough pressure to cause that country to redefine itself as an informal federation of multiple states.
It "feels" (my personal biases and experience caveats apply) like "full stack" engineers aren't really that, but are rather great front-end developers with the back-end being an after thought.

This is essential. The state university my partner attended and worked at became, over the years, more similar to a theme park or all-inclusive resort than an educational institution. They were involved in everything from student banking, fast-food franchises, high-end gyms, suites instead of dorms, and on it went. Not saying these things have no place, just that it shouldn't be part of the university.
Where do you think all the plastic, batteries, and energy required to run the manufacturing process for those EVs comes from? I'll give you a hint: it's not renewables.
I think this could be workable, but it probably depends a lot on context.

One reason off the top of my head would be regulatory/compliance issues around how things are encrypted. wireguard is relatively new, and some certifications required to do business in specific industries (finance, healthcare, etc) mandate protocols with a minimum level of maturity. wireguard may be good, but many regulators would probably not find it acceptable without a longer track record.

On a more concrete note, I'd consider any system that handles authentication to be inherently broken if it had no way to keep those credentials safe out of the box. TLS has long been a cheap-ish way to do this, as it's widely available and well understood by both implements and regulators.
Apple has had no issue forcing developers to follow their way. Take the transition to x86 itself for example.
Governments are not obligated to lend their coercive power to enforce all agreements, particularly ones that lead to bad outcomes.

See, e.g. Sherman Act. See also, bans on organ sales and indentured servitude.

It is perfectly legitimate to say "this is a kind of agreement that should be enforced by the state." It is quite another thing to say (as you have), "a transaction happened in the market so this is legitimate."

Limited liability did not exist as a legal concept in the United States until 1811. It is really strange that people now seem to view limited liability legal forms as an unqualified right, whose scope and governance can be defined by private contract without constraint.
It depends on the school which means maybe some schools should not have sports teams? How crazy is it to think that a school should be focused on education and not go into debt to finance extracurriculars.

Big brand name schools that are regularly competing at top level in sports are usually seeing huge financial surplus due to sports.
There’s this fairly well known idea in organizations that expenses will tend to rise to fill the available budget. It’s not nefarious, just the natural result of a competitive market - both the market inside the organization, where people want to spend any money that is allocated to them (because why not?), and the market outside the organization, where spending (on fancy dorms, maternity wards, or rock climbing inside the office) is an arms race to attract “the best” students, patients, or tech workers (just to name a few examples).

Again there’s nothing inherently wrong with this. In tech, especially in the Bay Area, it means a lot of us get to live pretty nice lives as our employers have to invest a lot more of their budgets in attracting and retaining a skilled work force.

The problem is when this sort of thing is fueled by subsidies and/or opaque mechanisms. Google can afford to lavish it’s workforce from its own profits, but the average startup these days is burning heaps of investor money on “perks” to compete for talent that aren’t truly necessary.

But that’s private money, and if/when those companies fail, society at large isn’t threatened.

When this same phenomenon happens in public institutions like Universities and Hospitals, where the money is coming from individuals who need these services to thrive, the damage is much greater. In the long run, public subsidy for student loans doesn’t make college available to the masses, so much as it balloons the cost and saddles students with debts. In the long run, the US’ Byzantine “insurance” system for health payments doesn’t spread the cost around so much as it inflates and distorts the costs and changes insurance from a “nice to have” to an increasingly expensive barrier to entry.

The global pandemic didn’t create the problems these institutions have, it’s just exposing them and accelerating the inevitable failure of the unsustainable. It’s going to leave a lot of damage in its wake.

Pessimistically, I expect these institutions to go beg for money from the printer and try to sustain the unsustainable. But my optimistic side sees this as an opportunity for all of us to question the systems around us, and try to fix some of the underlying root causes that made these systems so fragile in the first place.
I honestly think the biggest problem is finding those places.

Some of them still certainly exist, but are dying because the people who started them are growing old, and the next generation would never find small, interesting websites on google or similar. We need a place that's dedicated to finding and connecting people, not companies and advertising. What that looks like is up for debate. An IRC server, federated social media, or even an entirely new, separate internet, I'm not sure.

The problem is that most of these just don't provide enough to people now. With any service, people have to feel like they are getting some value out of using it, and that benchmark has increased with the amount of media, information, and knowledge anyone can consume these days.
Wow, I came in to joke we know DuckDuckGo must be doing well if it's killing competitors but sheesh.

It amazes me so many companies (not just privacy oriented) don't think the ground truth of having a useful product which treats users with respect is necessary in order to be successful.
Different fuels create different amounts of CO2 per joule though. This is not just a truism in combating climate change but also a key tool when observing metabolism. Whenever someone gives numbers for how much of some exercise energy consumption is from fats and how much is from carbs it is determined by measuring CO2 output and comparing that to measured energy output.
> you have a vesting schedule of 100/year for five years and on year two exercise 180 options to buy - that wouldn't exceed the quantity of vested options that are available to buy though

Not quite. Say one has a vesting schedule of 100/year for 5 years. Early exercise would allow one to "purchase" 500 shares on day 1, with the caveat that they be returned if the vesting schedule isn't met, e.g. if the employee leaves on day 2.

> US options are wack and work totally differently to normal options

"Normal" options, European-style options, make up the minority of instruments described by the term "options". Stock options are negotiated instruments. They vary wildly from case to case.

Certain amount of consolidation occurs in different jurisdictions as a result of tax codes. But in a global scheme, early exercise is entirely normal for employee stock options.

Not really... If you look at the FPS numbers, sure AMD is slightly lower. However AMD can also perform other functions like encoding/decoding. If you want pure FPS, sure Intel will win. For general computing AND gaming, AMD wins every time per dollar.
I agree. Just look at what is happening right now. Tens of millions losing their jobs and the stock market collapsed. This allowed rich people with money to buy stocks for cheap. Government pumped money into the financial markets and directly into companies allowing stocks to rally. Rich people got richer. It happens like this over and over again. Meanwhile tens of thousands of people are spending hours waiting in lines just to get food.

The system is designed to move money from the masses to the top.

Technically it wouldn't be for Adam Neumann personally. Softbank has pulled back it's tender offer for an additional $3B share re-purchase which would have mostly come from existing shareholders.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/02/softbank-pulls-deal-costing-...

This was the deal that would have been the golden parachute for Adam Neumann as well as providing a sizable return for Benchmark.

This is now going to go to litigation, but highly unlikely that it will close as there were certain conditions to the deal closing which haven't been met.

That was never a statement of virtue but of getting outod their hair. They would rather have continued normal slow decline from alcoholics than a bunch of DTs in their ER and poison control issues from "subsitutions". And presumably self medication with dispensaries for anxiety attacks or other issues and not wanting to deal with spice or street dealing issues spiking at the worst time.

I tried to use LXD containers on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 yesterday and between those two and systemd it was not really working.

In the end I gave up. I can't put the blame on one part specifically but it was not a good experience.

Other than that I don't see much difference on defining a service with upstart or with systemd, for my basic use.
> part of that tradition is that law school deans still ussually teach

At my Uni, the administrators taught bullshit courses on personal development et cetera.

Law schools have a unique culture. Teaching requirements are a product of their "first among equals" attitude, not a cause. Porting the mechanism without the culture is unlikely to solve the problem.

> Google Meet: An attempt at Zoom. Will soon be deprecated because Google does not want to deal with legacy services and the incentive structure there is to build the "next thing".

No way. Google Meet is how basically all meetings within Google happen, and is widely used by large G Suite enterprise customers. Create a calendar entry at work and you get a corresponding Google Meet meeting by default. It has integration with stand-alone videoconferencing units too, so the list of meetings for the given unit shows up on that unit and one tap and you're in the right meeting for the current time.

It's not going anywhere.
I disagree with you, however one aspect of the continental European model that I admire is the close integration between post-secondary education and industry. One of my cousins - who studied and now lives in Germany - did his Masters and PhD on the topic of work he was doing while working at <large car manufacturer>, where he still works today.

On the other hand, from my understanding such close integration between advanced degrees and industry is less common in North America - to my disappointment.
Is modularisation really an answer or is this another case of "A Hundred Authors Against Einstein"? The reason why many people are still driven to Amazon is that dealing with separate entities is just annoying as hell. Small business is definitely less reliable than Amazon and even if client service has been declining, it's still has a predictable baseline. Product search also seems to be working much better in Amazon than in web search engines. If I have to choose between one average retailer and 100 better-and-worse retailers, then I will still use Amazon.

Also - the long tail exists almost exclusively on Amazon.

The Washington Post had a good article a while ago on the issues with estimating death rates. The math is a bit complex, so I'll let them explain it to you (instead of a HN comment box). It's nuanced, as these pandemic things tend to be.

TLDR: We're undercounting deaths due to covid-19 by ~60% nationally, and 40% in NYC.

I still remember when every youtuber got forced into Google+. Youtube is per video! How bad could it be! Turns out, pretty bad.

I found the same thing odd too, but in the back of my mind I was thinking that the idea was "have the feature flag control only the UI; all else is live from the get go and run through CI etc".

The idea of the feature flag could be expanded too, so that if "off" it generated some dummy data while when "on" had the data come from the now-visible UI field.
To be fair, the 08 recovery was deliberately hamstrung by the lack of government stimulus. Congress approved basically nothing after the first round of QE. Hopefully we won't repeat the mistake this time.
> If only we were somehow able to remove the ability to peacock and ensure everyone going through the system got a good education

Good professors are rare. Good classmates are rare. Distributed education lets benefits from the former scale, albeit with degradation. There is no known way to scale access to the network of a good college experience.

Education quality varies with respect to both of the above. As a result, there is a scaling limit. As a result, there will be scarcity until the preconditions are solved or the scaling limits released.

Yep I use a non confirming release cycle and even actively backport new features form development branches to RCs or patchlevel releases if they are safe and don't have interactions with other code. This is done to make things available faster. Other times new features are almost like fixes because the old alternative resulted in user pain.
Do they use those cores? Sure. But when I’m playing a game (even a game that feels like it should be ripping threads like Factorio) I usually see that one core is pegged at 100% while the others are chilling around 40-60% (I have an overclocked 8700K). In my experience, single core performance is still the bottleneck (as far as CPUs are concerned) for gaming.

It was shocking how fast some corporate players went "lean". Almost as if they were waiting for a viable excuse to do so without blowback rather than out of actual necessity. They know they have the upper hand. People are deathly afraid of being unemployed, something that was just starting to fade away after 2008.
You might not realize it, but some of the textbooks are less expensive in other parts of the world partly because they are subsidized by sales in the US. It’s a complicated industry.

I've never understood why students would even want the college to be so involved in their student life. Allocate some buildings to the student body, get them to organise themselves and throw a bit of a cash at them. I think that's a good balance. I studied at a university with quite a focus on "college life" and it was nice to feel part of something but we didn't need to organise our social lives.
