If lenders don't want to make non-guarenteed student loans, then the schools will have to figure out how to lower prices or deal with sharply declining demand.

The ballooning administrative overhead at American universities is a well known phenomenon. Guaranteed student loans means there is little downward pressure on it.
How to build an open source startup (2019)
You already have root access to the reMarkable devices. Plus they are GPL compliant, so you have access to source for most of the software.
It's per developer, so any developer with < $1m of revenue per year stays at 15%, while any develop that cross that line switches into the 30% bracket, presumably forever.
Adding to that, even if you don't like negotiating, it's helpful to understand the tactics used by the other person so you can counter them (or at least be aware of it).

For instance, my favorite tactic when someone is pushing hard to sell me something or negotiate is the "Appeal to the authority" (i.e. "Let me first talk about it to my wife (or co-founder) about it."

Another popular negotiation tactic is to get asked between option A or option B, where in fact you could simply respond with "option C is more what I'm looking for".

>I heard for the best part of my adolescence and childhood that 'sitting in-front of a computer will not put food on your plate'.

To be fair to your grandparents, large amount of screen time is not good for children and teenagers. And let's face it, if you were like a typical teenager, your screen time was largely devoted to gaming or other non-academic endeavors. I suspect when you have children of your own, you'll start sounding like your grandparents. I found that after your 20s you start appreciating the advice and experience of older people and the wisdom behind it.

Even from a purely selfish perspective, Apple should have been doing this all along. As a platform, Apple has an incentive to prevent any one app in any one market grabbing monopoly, because the app maker will have too strong a negotiating position (eg WeChat). "Progressive taxation" of app makers will help subsidise smaller app makers giving them an edge vs entrenched large players.

Soneca said that they dedicated themselves to applying to specific jobs not all jobs, so your comment saying it’s hard to imagine them applying to 250 jobs makes no sense.

And it’s also false that someone who gets hired a lot can accurately give advice on what got them hired unless they personally ask everyone who was involved in the hiring decision.

The employer, compensation, and social capital of the applicant may play a role as well. I think you may be too focused on proving OP wrong to ask about more factors that could be affecting their results because there are way too many things that come into play (from when an employer gets an application to the interview and offer) to generalize.

> Why not get another device?

This advice would work for clothes/home appliances/furniture and other competitive markets, but not to mobile OSes.

Mobile OSes are natural monopoly/duopolies. There isn't enough room in the world for 100 OSes for us to get a competitive market. There isn't even room for 3. There is barely room for 2 with great downside. Companies spend a lot of money developing an app for one OS and basically re-creating it for the other.

I'm looking at my phone's home screen. Most of these apps are available in the other OS too, with almost the exact same functionality, but completely different codebases. Each of these duplicate efforts represent anything from X×100K $ to X×10M $ of development cost. This is just part of the cost of having more OSes. And the consumer ultimately pays for these costs.
Anyone who thinks this is just a PR move doesn’t know what it is like inside the walls of Apple. They truly care about developers and they love indie developers. To me this sounds like they took the feedback they were getting from big players pretending to be standing up for the little guy and realized they had a point. Even though the feedback was delivered in the most hostile way they still saw that small businesses could use a break. This also gives small businesses a chance to afford 15% more in cost per acquisition so it is a little easier to compete with big businesses with larger budgets. Thanks Apple!

I think the only way that balance changes is within a worker cooperative. It’s odd to me that there aren’t more tech based cooperatives as the entry cost seems so much lower than many other businesses. But I also suppose the opportunity costs may also be higher.
> Forgiving student loans with such a broad stroke would create tremendous moral hazard. Individuals who scrimped for years, forgoing dinners with friends and vacations and fancy phones to pay off their student loans, would effectively feel ripped off knowing that had they only been more profligate, the federal government would have wiped away all of their debt. Those who were much less careful about their spending patterns, on the other hand, would feel vindicated.

This line of reasoning is nonsense. Paying off tens of thousands of dollars of loans is much more about finding a decently salaried job than it is about holding onto your phone for an extra two years.

> In addition, it would, in effect, mean a huge injection into the higher education racket that would encourage colleges and universities to raise tuition even higher.

I do agree with this. I think the strongest argument that debt cancellation should be done from the legislative branch is that it needs to be coupled with legislation to prevent the future generation from becoming over-indebted in the first place, rather than leaving incentives as-is.

> On top of this, for a Democratic Party that likes to present itself as the party of the worker, it would be a tremendous wealth transfer to the elites. College graduates tend to come from wealthier families and tend to be more well off and connected. A recent Brookings Institution analysis of Federal Reserve data found: “The highest-income 40% of households (those with incomes above $74,000) owe almost 60% of the outstanding education debt and make almost three-quarters of the payments. The lowest-income 40% of households hold just under 20 percent of the outstanding debt and make only 10% of the payments.”

It's a bit disingenuous to call this "elites" when we're talking about actually 40% of the country (per the articles' numbers), but there's some truth here that the top 40% of households certainly have more stability and safety net to help their indebted children.

So let's call cancelling student debt what it is: a bailout mostly for the middle and upper-middle class.

> It would also be quite the spectacle, after years of blasting Trump for executive overreach and calling for more bipartisanship, if Biden came right out of the gate with such an extraordinary power grab.

I feel like this line of discourse needs to die. Every president in my memory has been "blasted" for executive overreach. The tools to actually prevent executive overreach belong to the legislative branch, so why are we blaming executives for trying to execute on their agenda?

I think the "requirement" part is a sticking point. If I chose to move from my small house in WV to a condo in Pitt, i would not expect my employer to pay me more because of my choice. If they required me to move to Pitt or I lose my job, I would expect some compensation.

Likewise, if I take a job and get X salary for that job, then move to a cheaper part of town I wouldn't expect to take a pay cut.

You can't have it both ways. Either it's as closed as iOS and apps can't be pirated, or it's as open as Android and it's possible to pirate apps. Restrictions on what can be installed and user's ultimate control of their own device are mutually exclusive.

That said, I'd choose to have control, even as an app developer. Piracy is a fact of life.
I mean if you add 10Hz to all frequency components in audio, what used to be harmonics (rational multiples of the fundamental frequency) stop being harmonics and it sounds like a dissonant mess. There is no reason to ever frequency-shift music/audio by an offset (i.e. the same thing modulation does in radio, or multiplying by a carrier in the IQ time domain). The only frequency shifting we do in audio is by multiplying the frequencies (that's resampling in the time domain), which is a different story.

100,200,400Hz is a consonant tone, while
110,210,410Hz is a dissonant mess

AM doesn't have this problem because it has symmetric sidebands and a carrier (so a tuning offset does not result in audio frequency shift), but SSB does. If you listen to an SSB transmission without your tuning being perfect, it sounds horrible. Voice sounds distorted, and music is hideous. I'm having trouble finding an example of the latter, probably because nobody dares put music through SSB :-) (but you can do this easily enough in gnuradio by upconverting a song with a 10Hz offset, for example)
Just because it is something YOU want doesn't mean we ALL want it. I appreciate Apple's review of apps and their store policies. While no human endeavor is perfect it is at least an attempt to keep their platform more secure, safer for kids, higher quality, and more trustworthy.

Opening up the platform to other app stores means they have less control over the experience on their platform it opens more avenues for malware.

If you want a more open platform use Android.
> FWIW, upon re-reading the entire thread above our posts, I don't see the extreme stance you're suggesting. "There are a ton of books that are inappropriate for use in the classroom." is the closest I see, which could be seen as a call for a total and extreme ban, but that's by no means the only way to read that comment.

I agree, I wasn't so much stating that GP comment was actually trying to say TKAM is as bad as Mein Kampf, but rather use the absurdity of a curriculum including Mein Kampf to illustrate the wide gulf between "books that aren't as good as others" and "books that don't belong in a classroom at all"

> If you force someone to include a contemporary novel on race, they'll probably have to exclude the other relatively contemporary novel on race.

Precisely. I'm not arguing that TKAM should be in the curriculum come hell or highwater. If the teachers only teach the better book, that's an improvement. If they teach both that's also an improvement. No matter what, so long as teachers comply with the mandate it's a win. As I've stated before, the problem is not switching, it's banning. Simply banning leaves open the possibility for selecting a book which is worse, or not even covering the subject at all.

> I perceive the major issue as more apathy and effort (some combination of "well I learned it this way and I'm fine" and "I've been teaching the same novel for 10 years, I don't want to change my curriculum") more than like, overt racism on the part of teachers.

Again, this was meant to be a tongue in cheek way of saying banning a book can lead to unintended consequences. I highly doubt that a teacher in this day and age will switch to something overtly racist, or at least I doubt they'd get away with it for long. That said, there is a very good possibility that this random teacher who is neither an expert on race nor particularly enthusiastic about finding the ideal book on exposing their students to racism might select something that looks to them like a good book for the task but is in reality more problematic than TKAM ever was. Further, because of its prominence over the past 60 years, there is a lot of readily available material out there to help a teacher properly teach TKAM. A coordinated move to some new standard which likewise has such support material is sensible, but there's no guarantee the apathetic teacher left to their own devices will both pick a book with good supplemental material and access that material, so it's entirely possible you get them to switch to a better book but they teach it worse.

So to reiterate the overarching point: banning books is a good way of preventing books that have no place in a classroom from being accidentally or maliciously added to a curriculum. Banning books is a terrible strategy for promoting the adoption of a specific book. Either we are dealing with the first scenario, in which case I have yet to see a compelling argument as to why TKAM is unacceptable, or as so many are claiming, this is an example of the latter category, in which case the question of why such a terrible strategy was employed has yet to be satisfactorily answered.
The FDA absolutely approved those drugs via emergency authorizations. That's the point: they weren't able to be approved via a normal process so the administration went around the bureaucracy. And in the case of HCQ they did this in contravention of the clear science surrounding the drug.

That's part of the problem. The general public have been hearing it for decades now, and are probably just sick and tired of hearing about it. As far back as I can remember, it's been nothing but "Nuclear weapons are gonna kill us all" "Acid rain is gonna kill us all!" "Smog is gonna kill us all!" "Drugs and crime are gonna kill us all" "The ozone hole is gonna kill us all!" "Global warming is gonna kill us all!" "Terrorism is gonna kill us all" "Climate change is gonna kill us all!" Yet, here we are, still going on towards these various cliffs. I can at least put myself in the general public's shoes for a bit and empathize with their crisis fatigue. Economic crises are felt immediately--you lose your job. It's no surprise that it's politically easier to favor economics over other crises that are perpetually happening Real Soon Now.
Show HN: Homelab – self-hosted website about my Homelab
What definition? You can call anything a sole proprietorship. It doesn't ever have to make money.
The site has eccentric paragraph/element spacing and uncontrolled use of white space.

Serif fonts are fashionable but a questionable choice for legibility. (HN is much more legible.)

The header image is unnecessarily huge.

There's a login box, but you won't spot it unless you're paying attention. Why would you want to log in anyway?

Overall, the design looks knocked-together in a hurry with no real understanding of either good layout or UX.

The app itself has poor layout spacing and - ironically - the colour choices and combinations are unusual and not what you would expect from an experienced UI designer.

To be clear, this isn't being picky for the sake of it. I would honestly be surprised if a majority of experienced UI professionals were enthusiastic about the current design of either the site or the app.
