> the feds should handle student loans the same way they handle medicaid/medicare reimbursement.

I'm not sure how anyone looks at our health care reimbursement system and the decides that's the approach to apply to fix anything else?

Personally, I'd like to see:

* Employers are allowed to test students to see what they can do, but not evaluate them based on whether they went to school or where.

* Make student loan debt dischargeable in bankruptcy. Lenders will be much less willing to pay high tuitions in cases where students are unlikely to be able to pay it back, and if the lender guesses wrong and it does come to bankruptcy then the student is no longer encumbered.

(I wrote more along these lines: https://www.jefftk.com/p/fixing-student-loans)
I suppose that people were always this way and that the internet has just brought the phenomenon to mass visibility.
That type of direct action on an individual level is definitely valuable but it is also challenging and difficult to scale.

The issue you originally brought up though concerns mass communication on a different level than those individual actions.

For example: Is the top of my facebook news feed an article about Daryl Davis (how his methods are helping misguided people and how I might apply or examine those in my own life to gain a better understanding of and more useful role in society) or is the top of my facebook feed an article about how there are many fine people on both sides and that maybe the KKK has a point and I should hear what they have to say?

TBF, I think that the vast majority of companies out there are vulnerable to this. I’ve worked for 8 tech companies in my career, none of which did anything beyond a basic background check.

Truly mitigating the problem you’re touching on requires a level of vetting and surveillance that you’d typically see applied to intelligence operatives. I think this is similar to how we view infosec generally: those with sufficient resources will be able to penetrate a network, regardless of the design or execution of network security.

I recently got a 2070 super OC. It really struggles with, say, COD:MW at near 4k Res (3440x1440). Indeed the campaign with RT on doesn't get more than ~50fps. Kinda disappointed really. Get about 100fps in multiplayer with everything turned off/low.

But the cost of a 2080ti was ridiculous especially considering the open secret of its impending obsolescence.

AMD really need to up their marketing budget. From the zeitgeist I've no idea where their lineup sits comparatively. No wonder they only have 20% market share

> the published solution is to build from source

I tried that, it didn't work, and they keep closing issues about it instead of addressing it. They are a company with a 200B market cap, and it's already 5 months since the release of 20.04 and they still can't get their drivers straight.

People like me want to use their hardware. I don't have time to be debugging their drivers -- I have other work to do. I don't think it's unreasonable ask for them to support the latest LTS release of the most common Linux distribution in a timely manner with pre-compiled binaries that just work, in return for the $179 that I and tens of thousands of others paid for the device.

This isn't some open source community software that I'd be glad to pitch in some time and help debug. This is a driver for a device that I paid a for-profit company for and I expect timely support especially for an exceedingly common OS that I use.

>It's antithetical to the US's purported objective of promoting a more liberalized market economy in China (though I suppose that was never something this administration really cared about).

You're missing the context behind why that policy was in place. A big part of that was the hope that China would democratize in the process. Clearly that has not happened so it makes sense to pull the plug. No point giving out free concessions to trade partners that aren't willing to reciprocate.

Credentialism is exactly that.

This is because if you have a master's degree, you get a mandated pay bump in your salary as a civil servant.

Edit: for context, this comment was originally in response to a larger comment that I see has been pared down.

> it's unclear why medical misinfo should get a free pass in the US system

Because it's an arbitrary category. What about cars, or computers, art, or politics? Imagine having fact checks and censorship for what constitutes good art.

Handling misinformation is not an artificial problem, it's a systemic problem because it always comes back to human judgment, and humans are not and can never be omniscient.

Jack's supposed motivation for allowing or disallowing certain things doesn't matter in the face of what they actually implement in reality: banning both true information and false information, in the name of fighting "misinformation."

It is true that private citizens and companies can do whatever they want. And it would be really great if what they truly wanted was to fight "misinformation." But what is apparent is that everyone on every side of heated situations on the internet nearly always wants to remove information that they specifically disagree with - and if that information may actually be true, but there is an authority that can be appealed to who will vouch for the un-truthiness of it anyway - then that authority's opinion will be taken for granted and hoisted upon others.

It takes a lot of guts to say "I think you're wrong but I'm going to allow you to speak." Cutting people's voice out is cowardly, and dangerous at scale. When you attempt to cut off the bottom of the bell curve on the false->true spectrum, you never do just that. You cut off the top, too. When you simply remove false claims rather than let people engage in a way that they're corrected, they don't learn. It is more likely to stoke a resentment leading to planting down harder than anything else.

And when you cut out the top of the bell curve, you don't always just remove truths that counter mistruths. A small percent of the time you remove original thinking. And this is what the original commenter was talking about.

Code signing in general is a terrible industry. Malware authors gladly pay those fees, even for EV code signing certificates, because scamming has high margins.

$99 almost seems reasonable until you consider Apple bakes in a mechanism for curation (they own the signing keys, right?).

IMHO code signing should be separate from curation systems and should focus on tying code back to a specific individual, not a company. It’s a huge pain to change your identity vs starting a new company to distribute malware.
