Effort and money needs to go into solving the problem at the source (expensive education, easy loans for low-ROI degrees). Throwing money at people who already received degrees does absolutely nothing for the next generation of students. Might even make it worse, because now they're competing with slightly older peers who were lucky enough to get their debt paid off.

Paying off people's college debt is also highly regressive. Why give $50-100K or more to people with college degrees, but nothing at all to people who didn't go to college? Doesn't make sense.

I think he's successful because he's a rich guy pursuing cool ideas and actually going forward with the execution. All of the high level ideas I've heard from him are "obvious" stuff - electric cars, rockets, tunnel boring, hyperloop, that lots of us imagined when we were kids. The difference is that ideas mean almost nothing and it's actually following through with execution that's important. He seems to be good at actually doing stuff, not just talking about it. I certainly never thought of him as an "engineering genius", and even if he was, that would be mostly irrelevant to his ability to lead billions or trillions of dollars worth of companies.

More money definitely is not going to hurt in developing fusion. I am surprised nooone has been able to get a more significant portion of the militaries funding going directly making fusion reactors workable - it seems like they could be a huge strategic advantage militarily. A submarine or spacecraft using a fusion reactor that also was able to output clean water for its occupants seems like a pretty damn nice win win. And certainly the military must also have tons of other needs for reliable, uninterruptible energy production.

Debt payoff ideas send money to people with degrees, but they do nothing for people didn't go to college or who haven't yet graduated.

The problem needs to be solved at the source, not periodically bailed out after the fact. If you just pour more money into the system, tuition will skyrocket and people will become insensitive to the astronomical prices. Why even price compare if you just expect the government to pay it off for you later? Expenses would continue to spiral out of control at an accelerated rate.
I use Windows/MacOS/Linux(Ubuntu) on a regular base.

As a ordinary end user, I feel

1. Windows software are usually good at product function design.

2. Mac has a better enforcement on overall UX. The visual across different software (from different vendors) are much consistent.

3. Linux desktop is unfortunately still missing above 2 points.

Some Linux distro provides really good visual, but it only applies to its built–in programs. If you'd like to switch to the external programs, the system visual might be fragmented.

I really hope in this new wave people could make some consensus on the visual of Linux desktop.

Couple points:
1) Are you aware of the existing C++11 attribute syntax[1]? You can replace __stdcall with [[gnu::stdcall]], for example.
2) The only function-level keywords in your example are noexcept, const, and inline. Of those, noexcept and const aren't really traditional attributes since they have significant semantic impact (e.g. on overload resolution.)
3) I don't see how the function declaration becomes less unwieldy with attributes.

What if we met in the middle? We can accept that the root cause needs to be fixed, but we could also halt interest accumulation and penalties on the outstanding balances due while payments are still made.

Your position seems to lack guiding or limiting principles.

>"The positive externalities of an educated populace are massive."

Forgiving existing debt does not increase the level of education of the populace. Conditionally forgiving future debts could, though there would be collateral effects.

>"I think the choice is between: (1) punish people because it's fair, and live an objectively worse life because everyone around us is miserable and dysfunctional (2) tune policy to support people, and live an objectively better life because everyone around us is healthy, productive and creative."

Failing to forgive debt is not a punishment, it's just holding people to their obligations. It definitely does support them, but the question would be why only support people who took on debt? Why not support the people who made different decisions too?

>"Immiserating debt destroys lives, and destroyed lives makes all of us worse off."

If you just want to forgive debt, why limit it to student loans? Why not forgive healthcare debts? What about consumer debt after Christmas? How about gambling debt? All of those make people worse off.
Like health care, the increasing price of education will not be solved by giving money to the institutions that are raising their prices. They'll continue to raise prices so long as people are still giving them what they ask for.

It seems absurd to me that people think the solution to high prices is to have someone else pay part or all of it for them.
Maybe not strictly doctors and lawyers but if you have a college degree then you statistically make more money than if you didnt. Why send money to those people and not to the people who make less money?
This is one of the big reasons I think that discussing "open source" is dangerous and tricky. It's not a binary, and there's no one monolith that decides what it is/it isn't. Even ignoring the traditional "FSF vs BSD" holy wars, there's plenty of depth. For example: is the JSON license[0] open source? It's certainly permissive enough, but lots of different groups have different interpretations as to why it isn't: the FSF[1] says it violates their freedom zero, that a user has the right to run a program as they want for any purpose; the OSI says it isn't because their licenses cannot discriminate around intent - quite literally, the OSI supports Evil here ;-)

I've released code under permissive licenses (Apache, BSD, and MPL that I remember off-hand), and at least one feature I know made its way into a commercial product. In those cases I simply didn't care because I didn't consider the code particularly novel, important, or special. It scratched my itch. Occasionally it scratched my employers itch, so I was already paid to write it, which was nice.

If I ever write code that I consider novel, important, or special, I plan to release it under AGPL3 - while you may think Google is overreacting on accident or to create FUD around it, the plain text of the license makes the intent exceptionally clear:

> public use of a modified version, on a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source code of the modified version.

This alone is enough to make the AGPL3 blacklisted anywhere that wants to keep their source closed: you may believe the courts would decide for the big corporation if push comes to shove, and you may even be right, but practical evidence shows that almost nobody wants to risk it.

Part of the problem here is that a generation of programmers seems to think that open source is all the same, so a license is something that you just whack <enter> to when your scaffolding tool suggests one. But in reality, talking about "open source" is useless at best and dangerously imprecise at worst, talking about licenses is the only way to get people on the same page.

It did the trick for them, at least against AWS: as expected, they successfully forced the wire format to diverge after AWS launched DocumentDB. It also got them pulled from Debian, Fedora, and I don't know how many other distributions for being non-free. But hey, at that point, they were already a known quantity, so it probably won't hurt in the long run.

I don't see the problem. A huge for-profit organization gets free money in the shape of a student loan, without spending any of it because the degree is allegedly worthless, and then the money gets taxed to pay the loan off? It cancels out.
Like the others have said, definitely seems to be hit or miss. I inherited an old cluster running on elastic cloud, migrated it to AWS managed and it reduced monthly costs by nearly an order of magnitude on top of going from a 5-15 minute outage per day for master node election to having 3 over 2 years.

The lesson is to read the article before commenting. Allow me to view source > gather the first visible paragraphs of the WSJ article.

>WASHINGTON—The Education Department will discharge another $415 million in student debt held by borrowers who said they were defrauded by for-profit schools that misrepresented their graduates’ employment prospects or otherwise swindled them, federal officials said Wednesday.

>The loans of nearly 16,000 former students are being forgiven under a legal provision known as borrower defense to repayment, which allows students to have their debts erased if they prove that their schools defrauded them.

This is unrelated to general federal student loan cancellation, which is still a good idea. It isn't as if the debt would be discharged without changes to the loan programs themselves.

But before we get into the discussion regarding cancellation in general it's important to acknowledge this has nothing to do with that.
Debt forgiveness for student loans is a horrible idea.

It perpetuates choosing degrees that will in 90% of cases never have enough of a return to pay for the loan itself.

Look, I’m not against choosing whatever degree you want. But fiduciary responsibility is doing even a tiny bit of research to see the LTV of that degree.

Unless there is out and out fraud, very little of student loans should be forgiven.

I think one argument is this incentivizes in the wrong way regarding home buying. It seems similar to the mortgage interest rate deduction argument: it incentivizes larger homes, it's regressive because it benefits those with more wealth in property than those with less, increases the likelihood of defaults due to people being incentivized towards more expensive homes, and potentially distorts housing prices, related to excessive borrowing.

Lymerix was not an ideal vaccine (including to the degree to which it was effective) though it probably didn't deserve the degree of criticism nor should it probably have been discontinued for humans. Since that time Lyme has come to be seen as a more serious problem so even a less effective vaccine is probably better than nothing.

It's highly targeted to the fraction of student debt
that's actually highly problematic according to reliable scholarly research (that is, the debt that's actually 'trapping' largely non-traditional students with an unsustainable burden). Though debt incurred for professional graduate degrees (think MBA and what not) is not far behind.
Over 80% of students have less than $30K of debt.

The highest debt loads obviously go to expensive graduate degrees like lawyers and doctors. Medical school is vastly more expensive than a regular college degree.

That's why none of the proposals would actually wipe all student debt. Plans to pay off the first $10K of debt and such would be far more equitable than just paying off everyone's debt. The latter would vastly benefit graduate degree holders, a cohort which has the highest earnings and lowest unemployment. Would be terribly dumb to do that.
> If you pay $250,000 to become a chef/cook - that is insane.

I'm sorry, what are you referencing here? That number doesn't appear in the linked article.

I mean, I'm sure there's an anecdote somewhere that matches, but that's hardly a representative description of the program. The debts in question are things like $40k loans for tech-related degrees from degree factory places like DeVry and ITT which are known to not have the value claimed at enrollment.

Now, there's a really good argument that, indeed, the Federal government shouldn't be subsidizing DeVry to issue junk degrees! But that's not well argued by talking about hypothetical sous chefs with quarter million dollar balances.
Who's “product management” in this context? Most of these apps are just made by one person.

> We've made it through decades without breaking theming, what changed?

According to the GNOME team, application developers were getting bug reports filed against their application about broken interface elements, and GNOME was having bug reports filed for the same. The devs stated it was the fault of the theme being used, and as such it would eliminate a lot of headaches for both if themes were forbidden.

"Independent developers" set out to explain this in more detail. [1] While it is targeted at vendors who created their own themes for branding, it echos the overall sentiment toward theming from GNOME itself.
