Here is the rationale given in the source paper:
https://media4.manhattan-institute.org/sites/default/files/t...

quoting from paper:

Basket Component: One Semester
of Public College

Source: The COTI uses the federal National Center
for Education Statistics estimate for total tuition, fees,
room, and board at a four-year public institution. 67

Rationale: Two children pursuing four-year degrees
would require a combined 16 semesters of college, so a
household preparing for those costs would need to save
roughly one semester’s worth of cost per year before the
children reached college age. (While the savings might
ideally earn a positive return in the interim, that return
would need to be quite strong just to keep pace with the
rate of increase in tuition over the same period.)

The one-semester estimate may overstate costs in some
respects—for instance, a family would likely have 20 or
more years between the birth of a first child and the
college graduation of a second. And in practice, many
children do not ultimately attend college (though a
small and, it seems likely in recent decades, declining
share has chosen from a young age not to consider that
path). But it also understates costs by considering only
public college costs; private college costs are more than
twice as high.68 Note also that the cost of public college
tuition already incorporates the substantial public
subsidy provided by the state government.
Full Fact fights bad information
Actually the wealthy (also) use debt as an alternative to realizing taxable income.

Borrowing money at 1-3% is a lot cheaper than paying 40-50% tax. You can essentially defer tax liabilities forever this way.
And when they do, they'll likely have telemetry of exactly what caused the problem. Then they'll adjust, and make the problem less likely in the future.

I gave One Finance a try but found their rules and inflexibility incompatible.

They don't have a 'joint account' option but claim you can share a pocket with someone else and it works the same.

Except when you have an instrument that you need to deposit/credit and it's made out to two people. They won't credit it to the 'shared' pocket because technically that pocket is owned by you, not both.

Tried to work with them for a solution but all they could offer was that I could deposit/receive it at another bank and then transfer it. When I closed the account they warned me that once closed I could never come back(they don't allow you to become a customer again in the future if you close your relationship with them). Another odd rule. And no auto transfers and no ability to deposit a paper check(at the time)

The benefit wasn't worth the hassle and I moved on.
I’m just glad I got through medical school without having to deal with most of this, but we too had examsoft and canvas - just a whole lot less software supervision and always proctored in person.

I don’t understand why the policy wasn’t to just close all other browser windows/tabs before starting an exam. Maybe it was?

Or better yet - if medical schools really want to do this kind of testing remotely, provide your own devices strictly for testing instead of requiring a device with a backup! We didn’t pay 40-50k a year to deal with this nonsense.
It's more how Apple treats Roblox vs. Xcloud or Google Stadia. Roblox is basically a bunch of different games made by different developers (they just happen to all use the same engine) in one app that aren't reviewed by Apple which is in contradiction to their guidelines for game services which requires all games to be listed separately in the App Store. Epic is pointing out how they don't treat every app the same.
Are the numbers growing in absolute terms, or is the reported disasters that are growing? Before satellites, 24-hour news, the internet and social-media + camera phones, a lot of natural disasters went unreported. Now you will find clips of a disaster with two dozen different viewpoints, before, during and after, all in high resolution[1]. So what decades ago would have been a short, nondescript page-3 article about tragedy at an exotic place halfway around the world, is now gripping TV (with very high ratings) in the present day.

Treasury rates are less than 2%. Prior to 2019 they have never in history been lower[1], except for one month during 2016.

I don't think the market is worried in any way about the ability of the US to service a 2% rate.

This might be an unwelcome suggestion, but tell your doctor. This sounds very like depression, which is quite treatable.

You need to know that there are at least six different illnesses all called depression. The only way known to figure out which you have is to try each treatment, in turn, to see which helps. Usually they start with one with few side effects, or that works fastest. Some people have more than one variety, or one plus anxiety, or attention disorder, or all three. (These might all be caused by industrial chemicals we are all exposed to nowadays, stuff our ancestors never encountered.)

If the drugs work, but have side effects, know too that the side effects will tend to pass, with time.

You're conflating value with price. This is common, we are taught that the two are synonymous throughout our lives.

Exploring this might help you understand what I'm saying better: when people buy dogecoin, say, with dollars, they're not actually just trading dollars for dogecoin. They're using dollars as a medium through which to trade their wealth (again, not money, similar to the value vs price thing) which could be their labor, land, other property, intellect they've sold for dollars, for dogecoin. In both instances, they're trading real wealth for something that is valuable because other people want it.

It isn't about the return. It is about the fact that both liquid storage mechanisms, dollars and dogecoin, have a "value" that is only valuable because at some point someone else will wind up with it when it inevitably becomes worth nothing. For both systems, the value is solely that people want it for now, and when they no longer want it, the people left holding it are broke, and the people that traded it to them for real wealth benefit. This is a pyramid scheme.
Between the news, being told by my parents that the Soviets could bomb us at any time and being poor I thought that I wouldn't live past 30, and now in my fifties (with multiple heart and lung issues) I wish I had made better choices; especially about smoking (don't) and diet.

My advice would be to nourish and exercise your animal with the assumption that you'll reach 80.
I definitely want to check the book out because I love playing the game but I think there is a certain amount of nuance to account for.

I work a full time job and contract for at least 25hrs/week.

In my full time job I’m paid for 40hrs but not all 40 of those are productive. I take an hour lunch, we have a bunch of meetings and social things, etc.

If you ask, I work 65+ hours per week. If we’re being honest I probably only work 40 or less between lunch, catching up with coworkers sitting in meetings not doing anything, etc.
For the record, I (op) do not have kids. I am however married and very happy with my marriage.

> In what areas will science have the potentially greatest impact for the benefit of humanity in 20 years?

This shouldn't matter, progress comes from kids ignoring adults advice and going their own way not from trying to lead kids to solutions we think should exist. Gifted kids who got pushed into accelerating their education rarely does anything super impressive as adults. They become regular professors or join prestigious companies as regular employees, which is impressive, but it is hardly something that you would write about in history books.

So if you care about the future of humanity let her explore the world for herself and choose her own path.

> Breaking: U.S. government is inept at carrying out procedures which are standard in the technology industry, including the proper safeguarding of important tools & data, despite a budget larger than any other entity on earth.

I'm not sure what technology industry you are in, but in the one I'm in software engineers are fooled by phishing attacks extremely consistently, people routinely expose critical systems and devices to the internet, developers often expose databases with insecure defaults to the internet over well-known ports, customer data gets stolen on a regular basis, etc., etc., etc. Regardless of how one feels about the government, I don't think the average technology company does any better when it comes to securing its own infrastructure.
As someone quite in love with functional programming (background in Haskell and Scala), one thing that seems quite obviously missing here and in my Javascript experience so far is the use of typeclasses as a form of ad-hoc polymorphism.

Yeah, I can see how that would be a deal breaker. I don't need a joint account and just want a pretty website/app to hold my money so for me it fit the bill. I appreciate how the One Finance team is active on their subreddit and seem to be pretty good at communicating the roadmap with the community. But I totally get that it didn't work for you.

I get marketers stretch the truth all the time, but they can't possibly be serious.

My read of the standard is the worst the compiler can do, is to do nothing. For example, the blog post links a tweet where clang doing nothing meant generating an empty function so that calling it execution fell through to a different function the author had written which formats the hard drive. However it wouldn't be kosher for the compiler to generate the asm that formats your hard drive itself as an intended punishment for UB since the standard recommends, if you're not going to do nothing, then you can have the compiler act in a way that's characteristic of the environment, or you can crash with an error.
Yes, it is nice to see the market adjusting.

There are only a few cryptocurrency networks with robust Tor infrastructure for now. There should be more but the stewards haven't prioritized it, for the most part many nodes and wallets for other networks are UDP, which is a major hurdle as Tor requires TCP exclusively. Bitcoin and Monero do not have this limitation, but Monero is the only private by default one and has a large mixture set to stay easily obfuscated.
I blame MBA types. 10-15 years ago IT was fun, now that MBA leeches got word, they are infiltrating our industry and bloating it with middlemen and bogus ideologies like scrum and product. Get fucked
True. So treat deposit accounts and instant payments as a utility and have the Fed hand them out to everyone. If you want to offer something more fancy as a fintech or commercial bank, go for it if you can make the economics work.

Disclosure: I am actively advocating for this policy with policymakers.
Indeed, I'd like to see a benchmark I can run against other key value stores for comparison rather than just taking the author's word that RonDB is faster than anything else.
Don't most people get their news over their phone or tablet these days? Throwing those out would probably have a professional cost.

I mean, you're not wrong, the best thing one can do for their mental health is avoid social media and current events. But it may not always be completely practical.
Regulatory clamp down as in higher regulations that companies must have good computer security?

This seems unlikely. Almost every modern Javascript framework uses it. ie) class MyComponent extends React.Component {}
Hardworking and reliable people are valuable assists to a community, and I suspect some aspect of this is wired into our brains. So it’s natural.

> My point is that I with kore than a decade of working theoretical physics I have NEVER seen anyone, student, professor or otherwise not use revolutions as their unit of concern.

I think this is false. Everytime someone uses a trig identity or takes a derivate, they are using arc-length as their unit of concern. You may not have realized it, but that is what was happening.

To speak merely of "rotation" and be disconnected from any kind of length or position in coordinate space doesn't allow you to do anything useful, and you have a degree of freedom in choosing what is a full revolution and now you have to do bookkeeping with coordinate transformations that ugly up all your formulas and and add extra steps.

The radian is the natural unit to use: 1 unit of distance of arclength. You are not better off with a fake degree of freedom and then transforming back and forth whenever you need to work with any kind of function relating that angle to a length or rate of change.

Moroever when you start generalizing to other curves -- for example, hyperbola and working with hyperbolic sines and cosines, it no longer makes sense to speak of rotations per se as these need not be periodic at all, but it makes a lot of sense to speak of arclength. Arclength works on any curve. It is just distance, it is canonical. It is the natural unit that measures how far you have travelled along a curve (once you select an orientation), thus allowing for a consistent approach and unification of all these identities.

It was a downgrade for everyone but consumers who already weren't using PDAs or Blackberry. Until the app store opened up (a year after the first iPhone was released) the iPhone family was not a competitive device for the same space as those devices. It was much better than any feature phone at the time, but nowhere near what the competing market had.

The original comment I responded to was about the original iPhone, not the 3G which was released after the app store opened up. I would consider the iPhone 3G a sidegrade for PDA and Blackberry users, which eventually led to an actual upgrade as more applications came out and with the release of the 3GS which had a clear technical advantage over the other systems of the time.

> Seems a bit revisionist to claim that the original IPhone was ropey or average.

From your original comment. The first iPhone may not have been ropey, but it was average for everything but consumers coming from feature phones. It was an upgrade for consumers coming from feature phones as it offered much better capabilities there, merging an iPod (better music and video support) with a mobile web browser and email client. But until the app store came out with the iPhone 3G, the iPhone was just a good consumer device (and a really good one given the price and AT&T's unlimited data plan options), but was a distinct downgrade for PDA and Blackberry users in nearly every way.

I have tried prozac. Unfortunately, it made my tiredness even worse almost immediately. Doctor said this would go away after I increased dosage, but I couldn't stick with it long enough to see this benefit.

I've considered trying again but, it's a hard pill to swallow when the solution takes weeks to work, and in the meantime, you're suffering even more.

If I had to be honest, I question whether I am scientifically "depressed". The "tests" they give you are totally subjective.

While, yes, I exhibit many of the symptoms of depression I also wonder if I'm just ill suited for modern life. My interests are strong, and fleeting. Life seems to reward people who can hold focus on boring tasks, for long periods of time, even decades. I was probably a better hunter than I am a programmer.

Yet, here I am, coding for a living and browsing the internet in my spare time. Oof.

So get out there! I hear you say. Yea, if only it were so easy to uproot my entire life, leave my wife, and go live wild in the sticks where I'd be more centered and at peace with my core being. That's just not feasible.

The point isn't that I would be happier living in the woods, off the grid, in the rawness of nature ... The point is just that something in this modern life is missing, and more likely than a chemical imbalance, it is that missing element which drains my soul and leaves me exhausted and unmotivated.

A few things help the auto part example over consumer electronics

* the model was setup while the auto makers were substantially smaller. GM / Ford couldn't hope to control the entire supply chain in the 1930s like they can now. These pre-existing businesses are able to protect their interests.

* Early cars had massive defect rates compared to modern consumer electronics. You HAD to be able to have a large number of people able to repair and maintain cars.

* Due to the value of cars, a higher proportion of damage is likely to be considered repairable over a CE device.

* Many auto parts were simpler when the model setup. Many parts did not have extensive IP protections, and were relatively easily clone-able. (i.e. you can make a mould of a part and cast other copies). Not to mention, outside a few halo proprietary technologies, companies were less litigious and protective of IP.

* Commercial operators such as Taxi and corporate fleets mean that there was a market for these 3rd party products, enough to cover R&D costs of cloning an existing part.

I think we need to enforce a compulsory licensing of IP for all parts, chips, etc after a period of non-availability or obsolescence. Price should be set at a point where 3rd party companies come in and produce generic versions, paying royalties to the owner. Allow these 3rd parties to reverse engineer the products and sell their clones if there is truly a market need.

What will likely happen is that the companies would rather license their designs to a chosen partner, in the hope of having more control over it
