> I find it difficult to believe they'd offer this, given that they already have Stadia.

Isn't Stadia moving to a PaaS for purposes just like this?
I came to terms with the belief that it was important for me to try and help with what I viewed as the critical problem of our time.

I just couldn't sit on the sidelines any more.

After that leap it was simply aligning my personal skills with various opportunities until I found a good fit. I looked broadly for a while: reforestation, fintech, residential installations, real estate, utility scale, training, open source, enterprise software, venture, etc. And I'm fundamentally an entrepreneur and a capitalist so I looked for problems through that lens.

But for me that process began with the same basic question every engineer has almost every day: "What is the problem, and what can I do to help fix it?"
I recall the foundation I worked for was getting charged rent by the University like they were doing us a favor instead of giving us one of the worst buildings on that side of campus - after they knocked down the actual worst buildings to
build a library. Then took a cut of all grants and a very large chunk of patent and IP royalties.

I don't think the fact that they were making money on either was what surprised me or anyone else, but that they were making money on all of them at the same time.

Apparently that building is still standing, 20 years later, though I don't know who is using it now.
Quite a lot of consumer debt is variable rate (credit cards, ARMs, ...), or nominally fixed rate, but rolls over somewhat frequently (car loans, mortgages as people move or refinance, pay later spending, etc).
Unless I'm confident that I remember `time.sleep` wants a number of seconds, then I could miss an obvious error there.

For example...

time.sleep(timedelta(minutes=5).total_milliseconds)

...looks just as plausible. So what does this solve?
Are we golfing? This whole discussion is about clarifying units.
I'm increasingly loathe to hire a new college grad for enterprise software positions due to four years of terrible instruction that we have to deplorable. What are they even learning in modern day institutions?

Meanwhile, I have zero qualms about hiring high school grads with a github who can talk about the base language intelligently, let alone frameworks like spring.
“In 1993, International relations theorist and University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer published an article including his prediction that a Ukraine without any nuclear deterrent was likely to be subjected to aggression by Russia, but this was very much a minority view at the time”
That consumes a full core for intellisense the entire time it's running if you have a large c++ codebase.
If you're stupid wealthy you're not really tied to one place. Maybe london is the only place that has underground cabals that will torture a child in front of you for a million dollars, but nobody wants to torture children every day. The rest of the days, maybe you want to relax in a mountain villa somewhere warmer with nice ocean breezes and lots of sun.
> Compare "racism and discrimination" which basically nobody knows how to tackle in anything like an effective way.

We certainly do know how, and we've done it. The message of hopelessness is the message, perhaps unwittingly, of the white supremacists, who want nothing to be done, who want racial division to appear hopeless and unavoidable.

From segregation and lynchings in the 1950s, we now have civil rights, almost universal acceptance of interracial marriage (I think the surveys ~1960 showed ~3% acceptance), African-American education and welfare has skyrocketed - but from such a low point that it still has far to go. We elected a black President. Racism in other circumstances has died - against Germans (esp. in Revolutionary times), Italians, Irish, Catholics, Jews, Mormans, etc. etc.

But now they have made it fashionable to argue against even the presence of racism, against all fact and observation - even in this very thread, where someone openly claimed race determined educational outcomes. I periodically here openly racist comments from white people I know - as a simple example, when the plan to pay for community college fell through in Congress, one white person I know said, with a laugh, 'thank god; now we won't have to pay for blacks to go to college'. And people take it up. We live in the post-truth world, where people align with whatever can be insisted upon, and many are and will pay the cost.

>> One thing that does correlate with educational outcomes, more than anything iirc, is parental wealth.

> Really?

Yes, you can find the research easily.

> If anything it may well be that once broad outcomes improve, this will help obviate much of the previously existing motive for harmful prejudice and discrimination against Blacks.

We have 400 years history of racism; attributing it to educational outcomes has no basis.
What is correct is that duration ± duration = duration, duration * scalar = duration, timestamp ± duration = timestamp, timestamp - timestamp = duration, and anything else doesn't compile.
I typically stick to "SI" units.

Then, somebody asks me to code in the temperature of a system. And I have to think: "Is now really the time that I want to teach people the difference a kelvins and celsius?"

So my rule becomes, SI "except" temperature. Sigh...

For those who care about things like "social fabric", the unintended consequences of not being able to declare bankruptcy on a student loan are that there's a strong possibility that your future wife, if she's above average looking with a great education was a stripper / escort for a little while to help pay off that loan.

This is what happens when we ban people from being able to declare bankruptcy.
