The cash to train students needs to come from somewhere. So in Lambda School's case that's either VCs or some other investors.

This makes sense for liquidity, but ultimately the ISAs are what has to provide the funding (or it's not a viable business).

As the investment terms improve, the portion of the ISA payout spent on training has to go down.

You are correct that the ISAs need to pay out to be an interesting investment, but if you are pricing the ISA to what the investment market will pay instead of what the training costs, it's not exactly a better deal for the students.

College is more about learning how to communicate with other adults, and building a solid social circle. There's a very real stratification between people who finish college, and people who don't. For example you're far likely to meet a quality partner attending, or being someone who previously attended college.

I'd always tell people to go to the absolute cheapest college they can if they can't get a scholarship, but you still need to go. Given the American educational system, your average high school graduate can barely read and write. I recall once I was talking to an international student who was ashamed he needed to take remedial English at college, I then let him know I knew at least one person who as a native English speaker needed to take the same class.

Exceptions do exist, I have noticed those from upper middle class backgrounds often can skip college altogether as they already carry with them a sort of status. But for someone who grew up poor like me college was a requirement

Did they even compute/estimate how many more people are going to die because of this decision, or how many will be saved?

Also, since experts have said that the side-effects occur because of an immune-reaction to the adenovirus that is used as the delivery mechanism of the vaccine, what are the chances that the people who have side-effects would die (or at least have the same kind of complications) from covid?

I think the argument is framed as wanting a human during take down dispute, not pre-approval. There's no need to treat this as an absolute. Why are human contact and reasonable expediency considered mutually exclusive? There is a lot of room in the middle. Can allow human dispute resolution for non-free accounts (i.e. paid or earning). Can limit upload frequency site wide while dispute/abuse queues are backed up (knowing YouTube would be incentivized to prevent backup). Can have non-profit reviewer company that charge very minimal amounts for human review. Etc.

Let's be clear, the lack of humans anywhere in the pipeline for uploaders is because they don't have to, not because it is impossible. Having said that, I really hope we do not see government intervention here.

I don't know what your issue is apart from maybe being a Synology shill.

Features change in software all the time.

What's so outlandish about someone getting a new unit, it upgrades the software automatically on first run, and then the BTFRS filesystem is available to them use for the array.

You'd either not think twice about it or thank Synology for opening up the new feature for these lower end units.

Taking the feature away like this is the absolute trashiest behaviour.

Personally I am most offended by the calls offering website and SEO services for the domain I purchased a decade ago without masking the registration, because I've professionally worked on (a) making a website, (b) search ranking and (c) SEO.

It's the one call that makes me want to shout, "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?", but since there is no reason anyone would know who I am, I'd just feel silly, and I'm not the sort of person who shouts into telephones anyway.
It's even worse than that. Many other countries are now following suite and also pausing roll-outs. I'm here in the 3rd world (South Africa) and we really need to get our vaccinations going, so now the government has "paused" their non-existent vaccine program with winter on the way (and after pretty hectic easter celebrations).

I did use Gnome Fallback (Flashback?) until Gnome Shell had all the extensikns I needed and got rid of some bugs. Gnome Fallback was almost abandonware by the time I switched. It started to develop new glitches as the world around it moved on.

Is Gnome Classic the other option I have at login on Ubjntu 20.04? I gave it a try one year ago. Either it didn't work or wasn't the desktop I was looking for. I prefer my custom desktop. Of course nobody can develop one system that suits the tastes of every single person. The important thing to do is to leave enough freedom to make people customize their systems.
There certainly is, but there's also other vaccines which don't exhibit this problem. Why should we administer AstraZenica or J&J when Moderna and Pfizer are available and don't have any correlated blood clot issues?

I've run into that, and don't get me started about phone companies being unwilling to insure Caller ID is accurate, even when they charge you for it. I'm looking at you, AT&T. The VoIP service I ported my landline out to costs less per month than what AT&T wanted just for Caller ID.

...which if you bothered to read even the article you linked, you'd know had to do with ensuring that battery voltage wouldn't drop low enough for the device to randomly shut itself off, a result which itself became a problem due to the actual longevity of their devices.

You can certainly argue that they should have communicated this with their customers, though I'd argue that the vast majority would not notice nor care, while a lot more people would certainly notice their devices randomly shutting off.

Agree wholeheartedly: there's definitely a spectrum between what Google are doing atm and full human moderation. I am a strong believer in using AI to augment humans, not replace them. Nudging Google towards putting more humans in the pipeline is what I am hoping posts like this are achieving.
It's interesting you don't see it. I wonder what sort of profile google's made of you.

I get their website as the first result for both queries, both in my signed in profile and in a clean browser session over a vpn.
I am sure it is ok to use AI to cheapen initial screening. This FAANG and the like set of companies are becoming vital for people to the point that sometime they can loose their income. I see nothing wrong with those that serve as a source of income being declared as utility type service with the mandatory staged conflict resolution process. Said process at the last stage (well before the actual lawsuit) would include being able to present proof to the actual human being/s who has the power to reverse the decision and is paid for but not employed by said utility. In case of utility failing to comply that watchdog should be able to levy fines. This should also help to prevent cases when the utility "moderation" is based on the political (other similar in nature) opinions of the owners.

All this "I am a private company and do as I please" when it comes to a very big companies is baloney. They have way too much power and should be held responsible for how this power being used. Preventing them from being able to lobby governments should be of first priority as well.

Since the companies of that type are international it is of course up to the individual governments to implement whatever if any measures they would see fit.
Slowely I'm getting the impression that a lot of decisions around AZ are politically driven. In Germany, the new recommendation is now to use Biontech for the second shot after AZ. In that recommendation, it is also stated that there are no studies nor data supporting that.

Quite funny, because there is, to my understanding, a study taking place in the Uk for that. It is expected to be done by end of April. Someone has to explain to me why that recommendation couldn't wait until there is data.

If they're confident that they can source enough doses of another vaccine that has better efficacy and is not linked to serious side effects (even if very rare) then it makes sense for them to go with that one and drop AZ.

But if the alternative is no vaccine or AZ then it is indeed vastly better to continue using AZ.

Denmark's population is also less than 6 million so they don't need a massive supply compared to larger countries.

It all depends on your position, or frame of reference.

No doubt it is self harm, when viewed against the well being and progress of the country as a whole. On the other hand, for the individuals and systems that appear to determine what actually happens in Serbia, having this brain drain might be everything but a problem. In fact, it might be their main source of profit, power and success.

It's a lot easier to convince/coerce uneducated and desperate people, into supporting things that are eventually against their own interests. Just providing short term benefits that make them appear better off than all "other" people is usually enough. It doesn't matter that it's a pyramid construction and that everyone will eventually pay through their nose. The people who support such schemes usually either can't see how they are being played, or just don't have a "luxury" to even care about whatever might happen tomorrow (they just need whatever benefits they can grab now).

Still waiting for that to be the case. After 6 years of using Signal, I have a whopping... two... people in my contacts who also use it.

Pretty much the only way we're going to see critical mass with Signal is if someone like Google were to make it their default platform for messaging.

That's because in Croatia, banks have often been the focal points of financial crime deeply intertwined with political crime; as the justice system isn't functional, the banks constantly and literally swindled citizens, so the average Croat does not take out a mortgage and does not trust any institutions. For example, several years ago, lots of people were intentionally misled by the banks providing loans in kunas which were tied to the swiss franc. When the Swiss National Bank lifted the peg in 2012, the franc, being the safe harbor currency, skyrocketed in value. The banks immediately demanded higher interest, which the loan consumers were of course unable to financially bear. The whole debacle ended up going all the way to the supreme court where it was finally overturned. Up until that point, the banks did not care and kept bankrupting people without so much as batting an eyelash.

This is just one example. In the '90's, bank of Ljubljana simply froze, then siphoned off all of their Croatian customers' assets in Croatia to their central office in Slovenia. Nobody ever saw any of their money up to this present day, and are unlikely to ever see it. Nobody went to jail, and it is unlikely anyone ever will. There are a sea of such examples in that country. This is why in Croatia, one borrows cash from family, relatives and friends at no interest, rather than get screwed over by the state and all kinds of private institutions, none of which can be trusted. Croats have zero confidence in their government or anyone else for that matter, sometimes they do not, or cannot even trust their own family or would-be friends.
