It's unfortunate we live in this world. Harvard takes in ~2k/year. Each student stays for ~4 years. This means ~10k are on campus at any time. Harvard costs ~50k/year.

This means it costs ~500,000,000/year for all of Harvard's student bodies.

If Harvard has a 38b endowment they can spend on education (they probably don't, probably named buildings) they could fund ~76 years of Harvard without charging a dime to students.

I wish we lived in the world that was possible.

Also, could we reduce college costs by: mandating college credit transfer and allowing students to test out of unlimited classes.

I tested out of 3 classes for my degree (the max) just using my ~8 years of experience as a programmer. I wasted so much time on courses I knew the material for. If I could just get a pile of study materials and tests I would have saved buckets.
I'm building a new house like this - in my country the building code is on par with Passive House standards, so we don't have much choice :-) I ran the numbers for heating with gas vs an electric heat pump, and gas actually worked out more expensive.

The house will need around 2000W[0] of heat in the middle of winter. For that usage, the most expensive part of gas would be the network fee, not the gas itself. An electric heat pump is a bit more expensive that a gas boiler, but considering we'd need to have a gas connection introduced to the property, the overall upfront cost is the same. The lifetime of both units is the same (10-15 years).

Someone here mentioned a gas absorption heat pump before, but those units are much more expensive than an electric heat pump in my country, and it still has the same issue of the gas network fee being expensive. We'll also have solar PV, so that will cut the electricity running costs even lower once it's paid off (~7 years).

It's interesting that once you have an efficient building envelope, technologies that you would think would be more efficient such as solar water heaters or ground source heat pumps don't actually make sense financially in the long term. I also ran the numbers for underfloor infrared heating vs electric heat pump + hydronic underfloor heating. Taking into account the higher installation costs, and expected life of the heat pump unit, the infrared heating - which is must less efficient - actually works out costing around the same. The unit we have will also provide DHW and cooling in the summer, so it's apples and oranges, but for a pure heating perspective it's worth considering that option, espeically if you want a lower upfront cost.

[0] For a 160m2 / 1700sqft house. This doesn't take into account 'waste' heat from appliances, so our primary heat source demand will actually be less.
This is really disingenous. We're not talking about Puhduka State here; the universities involved are literally the majolrity of the richest schools in the entire country. It's exactly like Gates and Bezos asking for public hand-outs, not denying help to many because there are a few rich people out there.
> The total number of deaths last year was already set up to be significantly higher than in previous years...That also explains why normal flu deaths were basically non-existent last year...it's obviously because covid wiped those susceptible people out.

Age Verification plugin WordPress pros and cons
Age Verification wordpress

Age Verification plugin WordPress was made with help of WordPress. make to easy to age gate in your website to verify user is eligible to come into website.

Pros of Age Verification:-
⦁ first of all age verification step is simple to use.
⦁ this verification is doing digitally when you enter in new sites or apps and other software.
⦁ many sites asking about date of birth(DOB) this is also part of Age Verification.
⦁ after installing this plugin you need set minimum age limit and registration will be accept whose age are more then minimum age limit.
⦁ here you select so many customized images in the background. also you would be able to change font size,text style,button color.
⦁ also your setup for after registration how the user see the massage of conformation.
⦁ here we not upload customized images and logo.
⦁ apart of that many more pros available of age verification.

Cons of Age Verification:-
⦁ some cons also available on this age verification plugin.
⦁ this plugin have enable&disable checkbox if this disable so this plugin not work.
⦁ in the last tier error and success massages color are default
>Harvard has a $38 billion endowment, Yale $29 billion, Princeton $26 billion.

Holy Mother of God. I had to fact check this. But it turns out Wiki had a whole page [1] on it. Valued at $40.9 billion as of 2019. And [2] with the list of US university endowment. And on average 10 to 20 times the size of UK universities [3].

$40 BILLION US dollars?

And the insane amount of Student Debt? ( portrayed by MSM anyway, I didn't look much into it ).

Again there are just lots of thing across the pond lots of people from the outside fail to comprehend.

I'm guessing this is referring to the fact that early versions of Fortran stored return addresses in specific memory locations (at the end of the function definition IIRC) instead of on a call stack. This is why those versions of Fortran couldn't do recursion, because the new return address would overwrite the old one.
And don't forget:

> For example, he told-LTM 18 employees that he wanted to hire a female candidate simply because he wanted to have sex with 19 her. Similarly, Lee expressed his desire to set up a "modeling agency" in the Hollywood Hills that 20 would actually be a front for illegal prostitution (i.e., the "models" would be paid escorts). To that 21 end, Lee circulated a memo to male LTM executives advising them to make sure and wear 22 condoms when having sex with the "models." Lee went so far as to state that he planned to move 23 LTM's offices to the Hollywood Hills mansion once the "modeling agency" was set up.

Fully agreed. I think having a more focused channel to consume news is much more effective.

Oh man, if you think browsers are well tested automatically, you’re very far off reality.

There’s basically no automated test suite even for CSS 2.1 that all vendors can rely on that matches behavior specified by the standards.

Luckily standards like that are so mature that it’s not needed as badly, but it definitely keeps incumbents safe from competition.

I am not sure the nutrition and fitness industries are based on heart disease. If anything, they're based on sex drive.

Sure, eating healthy and going to the gym might save your life but the money makers are people who buy expensive supplements and specialist equipment, not those that eat more salad and less beef and walk ten miles every day.

I fondly remember people on LinkedIn discussing it this will be v-shaped, l-shaped, or w-shaped. I think the consensus was on the "L".
Yes, those statements are true, but what are you trying to say with respect to my argument?
I get it. No need to say I don't. Streamlined means more companies will ask you for such identification. Eventually stripe will be part of a news story about a data leak. I imagine they've already factored this in and decided it's worth it, due to requests they've been getting from customers. Essentially, if they don't do it, someone else will. Personally I think they should let someone else do it, or break it into another company, but that's not my call.
One of the things that struck me recently is that working out what a computer is actually spending it's time doing is now almost a Master's thesis to do properly.
> 2) Ground source heat pumps are complex and very expensive and probably best suited for large installs like schools.

Looking at prices for the unit, the difference between Ground source heat pumps and air source heat pumps is around 15%. This assume we want heated water. AC-only units are naturally much much cheaper, but since there does not exist ground source AC-only units it is not a very fair comparison.

When it comes to extracting heat from the environment there are a few different choices. Air, solar, borehole, ground, and water. As I understand it, which one is the most cost efficient choice depend more on the environment which it is getting installed than the actually unit.

Oh boy, you might actually be in for a very rewarding moment of personal development if you can muster the will to follow that thought through to the logical conclusion! So, what happened next with "Collateral Murder"? Then what happened in that region? What about the US public, the supposed beneficiaries of a whistleblower's labors? What about policy changes? I genuinely hope you can read that as intended - written with zero sarcasm. Because it seems obvious to me that you've actually just reinforced my point. Unfortunately it is the least interesting point in all of what I wrote that you chose to latch onto, so thats a bummer.

RE sonic attacks: nah - you have to consider it from an operational, boots on the ground, strategic perspective: what purpose is being served, what is being protected by way of misdirection (CI is primarily defensive in nature and misdirection is the absolute best way to lie). I can't think of anything useful to lie about in the sonic attack story... which wouldn't really have had anything to do with anyone outside of DoS. DoS hasn't gotten along with anyone but the CIA for a very long time - so I'd have a hard time trying to guess at their motives for anything anyway.
Harvard isn't the problem; the problem is insane housing costs and crazy administrator salaries at other institutions.

Harvard et al aren't the problem with student debt.
If you think the news is bad, you should consider the hot takes that online posters come up with. :)

Baseball is my favorite sport. There’s no clock. The defense controls the ball. There is no body type for positions. The tactics and strategies used and pitcher on hitter matchups are like chess matches and card games. But… the people who own MLB teams and republicans the organization seem to be completely passionless and to not understand their fans. I really what they could do if Manfred was forced out and had a commissioner who actually focused on getting new fans and and expanding teams internationally.

Sadly Manfred is allowing this cheating to continue. He didn’t punish the Astros or Red Sox significantly so everyone is cheating now. It really reminds me of society in California that quickly has become somewhat lawless towards property crime.

The geo is actually quite a bit more relaxed than your typical racing bike, which is why I like gravel grinders (at 6'5" and 40+ years old). It's definitely a nicer ride than your typical road tire but not sure I'd go as far as comfy/soft...

One of the main drivers of a stock price is the assumption of earnings. New product ? Slash cost? Higher taxes / interest? If it's a surprise, then the reaction can be quick. If it's quick its much more profitable or disastrous (depending on which side you are on).
Personally, I have found FaceTime to struggle with sketchy connections; WhatsApp video calls do much better there. Video quality of FaceTime (when you have a sufficiently good connection) blows everything else out of the water, though.

> It's up to you to provide the evidence since I can't prove a negative.

If you honestly can't come up with a mountain of evidence on your own, then either you have not been paying attention at all, or we live on different planets. Or you have simply not bothered to independently check anything they say. (More on what "independently" means below.)

And if you honestly believe that the sources you cite (and yes, I'm talking about what is billed as straight "news", not opinion) are reliable, then good luck with that. I hope for your sake that it doesn't catch up with you at some point, but I won't be holding my breath.

And btw, my claim is not that everything they say is lies. Much of what they say is true. The problem is that you can't trust them not to lie; given any statement they make, you have to consult independent information (more on that below) to decide whether you can trust it or not. And the more politically charged the topic--in other words, the more that is at stake in terms of power--the less you can trust them not to lie. Whenever the chips are down, they have shown that they will put ideology and spin, to protect their own power and the power of those in government whom they agree with, above truth.

As far as independently checking what they say is concerned, that's the problem I referred to in the GP: there are no "independent" reliable sources you can use. You have to do it entirely on your own, cobbling together what information you can from as close to primary sources as you can get it. (For example, whenever I see, say, a report issued by a government agency, or a scientific paper, mentioned in the media, I don't even bother reading the media article; I go looking for the actual report or paper itself and read that. The report or paper might still be telling me things that are questionable, but at least I'm reading the primary source.) And of course most people don't have the time or the wherewithal to do that, which is why this terrible state of affairs persists. But that doesn't make it any less terrible. At least now, with the Internet, with so many ways for people to post first-hand information about things, we have some ability to collect our own data instead of having to live with whatever the media gives us. We used to have none at all, except for the rare cases where either we ourselves were first-hand witnesses to some event (and btw, pretty much anyone who has had first-hand knowledge of something that got covered in the media will tell you that the media account was nothing at all like what they saw first-hand), or we knew personally someone who was and could evaluate what they told us based on our knowledge of their past track record of reliability.
It's not even open season; the way IRC works, a random user has now been appointed the sole operator and owner of each channel (whoever connected first). You don't even need someone to want to take over your channel; it's been taken over for you. If you're lucky, and they're a nice person (and not an idle bouncer) they might give it back to you. Maybe.
I don’t even know of good standards-compliant WYSIWYGs for HTML besides maybe(?) Webflow these days, and that's proprietary. I don’t know how you’d do low-code anything today in any meaningful sense.

Of all the people who care about automation, if there were good, viable low-code options, developers themselves would want to use them!
The problem I’ve experienced with these expensive tires (compass, gran bois, etc) isn’t their durability against road debris. It’s that their “supple” sidewalls don’t hold up to the equatorial sun I suffer under. They degrade far faster than the tire rubber degrades. I like riding these tires but they are expensive fast consumables.
Depending on the level of analysis you can even get a PhD. See for example https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/18462805.pdf
Dualistic thinking.
A performance improvement of 20% would be a massive win for something as large and widely used and as the linux kernel.

That would average out into a few percentage points of performance improvement in every application across the globe which runs on linux / android. Merging a patch like that in linux would be like quietly reaching into every device across the planet and giving them a small, free CPU improvement and drop in power usage. Not game changing for any individual user, but huge in aggregate.
Could you please explain a bit more to the more uninitiated like me:

1) Is my understanding correct - FHE-C++ library allows me to encrypt a photo from the client (in the browser), send it to the server, perform image operations on it, return back the photo to the client in a transformed state without the server ever being able to see what its transforming?

2) Is the holy grail you're noting allows any piece of software to be compiled and encrypted, but still take inputs and produce outputs? do the inputs and outputs have to be encrypted with the same key as the compiled software?
I would think there might be lots of reasons, but one that comes to mind is that supermarkets are physically designed to get the customer to spend as much time and money as possible in the store as opposed to finding the items on their list(s) as efficiently as possible like a grocery delivery service would want its workers to be able to do.
Awesome! You may want to give a brief description in the readme about what it is (for people not coming from this forum).
Two words: Tactical Barbell.

It doesn't teach you how to do any particular exercise, you'll need to geta that elsewhere. But what it does do is provide a number of templates for programming, with different endurance / strength / mass requirements in mind. And it tell you why the programming is the way it is, and expects you to start modifying it once you're more advanced. Kind of a "teach-a-man-to-fish" approach.

What a terrible, broad statement to make, and on an anonymous forum of all places. There are plenty of places where default anonymity makes a lot sense and it is important to a good societal structure. History has shown time and again that those in positions of advantage will abuse their access to information for their own gains. Increasing the surface of your online activity trail can and will be used against you by a bad actor when the opportunity arises. There is simply no good reason to make identity requirement as the default. There is a reason identity requirements have traditionally been restricted to highly regulated entities, but off late there seems to be a trend of "internet companies" freely exchanging KYCs with each other. This blurring of boundaries between banks and regular companies is a dangerous precedent and I'm afraid it will be too late before we realise the net damage to society as a result.
One thing I've been mulling over recently is that many containers like vector in C++ for example, have almost no state.

That is to say, we at most might have a bit of logic to tune whether we do *1.5 or *2 on realloc, but why not more?

There must be patterns we can exploit in common use cases to be sneaky and do less malloc-ing. Profile guided? Runtime? I might have some results by Christmas, I have some ideas.

Food for thought: Your container has a few bytes of state to make decisions with, your branch predictor has a few megabytes these days.
Absolute mad lad.

I understand that there is a historical expectations that Universities should provide education and be a role model for society. But, as far as I know, in the USA universities are just another business.

The USA should stop being surprised each time that a company rises prices of a live-saving treatment or starts a patent troll company. Some of this kind of problems are exclusively a USA problem and do not exist in other developed parts of the world.

Why is that?

My 2 cents are that you need is to create rules for a fair game. As a society you should regulate how companies behave, what is permitted and what is not. You elect your government make it work for you. It is not always easy, as there are many interests, but it is possible.

For the USA citizens that may read this, you know better your country. What is your opinion?
Allergies cause tiredness through inflammation caused by release of antibodies and histamines, afaik. Hence the use of an upper as a workaround for wakefulness.

On the other hand, allergies may also cause restlessness through symptoms such as itching, a runny nose, burning eyes, etc. So a downer might help someone ignore those symptoms.

That's at least how I understood it. I never thought about it like that before - quite enlightening.

On the other hand, not everyone who regularly drinks coffee in the morning, and alcohol at night has allergies. I'd guess it's probably the minority.
Not surprising at all, sadly.
