Coughs notably persist beyond the illness that causes them - they can become self perpetuating by causing inflammation that in turn makes you cough. I've found taking cough drops is a great way to break this cycle.

So... yeah, persistent cough is a non-symptom, and I suspect a decent amount of long COVID research is a function of perverse incentives in medical research.
Yesterday I had to open Microsoft Edge for something that would only work in Edge, and lo-and-behold, Microsoft had taken my Xbox Game Pass sign-in and applied to Edge, then informed me they are syncing all my browser history to their servers for my benefit..

Not really. Here are the advantages of ChromeOS as I see them:

Fast, unobtrusive, and regular software updates

Better touchpad and touchscreen support than any other Linux

Perfect integration between local files and files on Google Drive

A bare-bones userspace that is not bristling with security vulnerabilities

Software including the kernel is peak-optimized with profile-guided feedback, specifically and separately for each model of Chromebook, unlike most Linux distros that ship barely-optimized builds without PGO and targeting k8-generic.
There was something on the HN front page recently that asserted that the goals of education and capitalism are (paraphrasing from memory) fundamentally at odds with one another. I thought that statement captured the state of things perfectly. All the hand-wringing over “alternatives” to universities will accomplish little if this underlying conflict is not resolved.
So basically you are hoping it all sorts itself out? Maybe it will, but that seems like an incredibility risky position for humanity to make without hedging our bets.
I’m not a Windows user and I know this is not a popular opinion, but… I really wish Windows 8 had been better received. Sure it was a huge break from Win<8. But it was a bold, thoughtful and thorough one, with a lot of potential. Refining Metro but ultimately sticking to its core ideas would almost certainly have produced a better Windows experience overall than the basically incoherent changes which followed.
I grew up in lower socioeconomic status and can confirm that the university admissions process was never really taught to us in any meaningful way. Teachers never talked about it, my parents never talked about it, counselors didn't talk about it, etc. Our education was built around testing because if our school got bad testing, then the school would lose funding. Our education was damaged as a result, every teacher talked about it as an awful system, and the kids who did well in testing had enough money to pay for tutors, ie they were already advantaged

Getting rid of SATs from my perspective sounds like a fantastic idea.
So true. My dogs name is Scooter :) and sometimes he leads our walks haha!
> People doing low voltage cat6 wiring make bank. Friend of mine got quoted 10k to run wires in his single family house, and that was w/o any walls up.

Someone on Nextdoor was confused about how to "add those jack things" to the ethernet cables in her prewired house. I spent a few minutes linking her to YT videos and an article so she could do it herself. No response, but a few weeks later someone else PM'd me: "Wanna make a couple bucks?"

Ignoring the tone-deafness of that question: yes, low voltage wiring quotes are ridiculous, but it's also one of the easiest DIY projects you can do if have an attic or crawlspace. I installed four access points through my attic and a UAP-AC-M-PRO-US for backyard coverage.

Microsoft’s ad revenue is $10B (1). Allowing advertisers to send ads based on user profiles is a major feature of digital advertising. Collecting telemetry data improves the user profiling.

These types of changes have a direct positive impact on one of Microsoft’s fastest growing revenue stream. This will lead to meaningful revenue growth.

I don’t know what point you’re trying to make, but I’m not advocating for mask mandates. In fact I disagree with them. Mask mandates were a highly imperfect but prudent policy measure prior to widespread deployment of effective vaccines. Now they are pointless and arguably counter-productive.

People who have specific concerns about COVID and want to protect themselves (or others) should be encouraged to wear an N95 mask. Cloth and surgical masks should no longer be treated as a valid medical choice.
Mind you, at the same time, there's fewer and fewer users for those old features, so why should they be priority vs the people who are just starting to pick up a computer?

He mentions that tech is increasingly willing to hire without a degree. I think that's a fascinating trend and it would be super interesting to know the % of jobs in different fields requiring a college degree over time, as well as the % actually employed in the field without a degree.
Really? I made the same move (or at least finished it 100%) at the same time, and that's not a problem I've ever seen.

Lol I know it's against etiquette to complain about downvotes, but I didn't think I needed to actually explain that the average cost of an industry of cars is utterly meaningless.

My 19 year old mother in Pakistan might have been a lot more adult because she had me, but I'm sure having to forego her career for a marriage with a Rs 10000 mehr was something she would have liked to have had a few more choices about. Get a grip on yourself, man. (And yes, she went to college there too)
I'm sure you have some knowledge that I could learn from, but it requires both of us and most of that is inflammatory and hyperbole. Let's both try curiosity and bringing valuable knowledge to the table?

> 18 year olds in Bangladesh are a lot more “adult”

Imagine an 18 year old in the US. They could go to college and learn more about the world, themselves, etc., or get a menial job, an apartment, and become more adult. In fact, any learning or training is about investing in the future. Any investment is about current sacrifice (time, money, etc.) for better future returns.

We could also ask the same question - and it was asked, by prior generations - about 12 year olds, who could become adults and work in coal mines. People used to get married at that age too. In Judaism, 13 year old males technically become adults by completing their Bar Mitzvahs (obviously an ancient tradition). Were they better off? Was our society better off? Is there some benefit to achieving adulthood sooner?

Taking it further, kids who lack effective parenting, either through accident or neglect, often grow up fast. And lacking that time to be kids, to learn and explore and grow themselves, costs them for the rest of their lives. I grew a lot in high school and college, and I would have missed so much if I had to be a full-fledged adult then.

The argument that prior generations lacked college educations and therefore future ones have nothing to gain, or that it's an insult to prior generations to say there is something to gain, seem very flawed for obvious reasons. It's wrong that so many people in Bangledesh, who are just as able to grow and benefit, are denied the opportunity and those benefits.

Let's keep building and improving a world so that they, like so many others over the last several decades, become the first in their families to benefit from college.
> trying to reduce bias in the process is a noble goal

I feel like this does the opposite. The first half is about how well you performed in high school (WTF? High school was 30 years ago for me. How is that relevant?), how well you did in college, and how well you did compared to your peers in those situations. What if I didn’t graduate high school or college? What if I come from someplace where schooling is done differently? What if I did poorly in one of those but my peers were geniuses? What if I did well but my peers were idiots? How does this give them any signal at all?
Agree. Those tricky Ukrainians become annoying
Sounds like the system worked in that case? As in it adjusted to new information that it was missing. This is not the case in the US.

It is worth noting that ChromeOS runs Linux software in a neat way to isolate it from the host OS.

It runs it in Debian-based KVM VMs, and it uses virtio-wayland[1] to pass the applications through to the host compositor, making them feel as if they are not running in a VM.

This architecture means that ChromeOS can preserve its readonly system partition, delta updates, and fast boot times while being able to run any Linux app. Very similar to Qubes, actually.

60-70% of the adult population does not have a college degree. There is a huge potential pool of cheap, untapped labor right there. so why aren't more companies biting?
“A college degree will get you a good job” is the most incorrect meme that baby boomers ever came up with. Education, skills, and talent are all three entirely different things.

Being educated does not get you a job. Being educated is step one.

You also need to have:

* a workplace that exists

* the soft skills required to interact in that workplace

* and ability to apply your education
stadia's biggest problem is stadia's business model. It's not solveable unless they change it.

I don't see much of any "reason" behind what this invading army has been doing for the past 3.5 weeks, actually. Or if it's even right to call them an army.

Anyway I don't think the concern is that they would target or otherwise intentionally sabotage the reactors -- but that nonetheless they would allow something bad (potentially seriously bad) to happen by pure neglect. Kind of like the way they managed to blow up Reactor 4 in the first place back in 1986.
Germany has three “tiers” of secondary education, of which only finishing the highest will qualify you for university admission. The rationale is that not everybody benefits from learning latin or higher mathematics, when instead a focus on more trade-related skills might benefit you much more in your further career.
For late-bloomers, which might suffer under this system, it is still possible to progress from Hauptschule to Realschule and finally Gymnasium and university, without significant financial means necessary (besides cost of living).

Also, the average attendance for Hauptschule is <10% [1]. Wouldn’t you agree that at least 10% of kids would benefit from having an education experience more tailored to their needs instead of building resentment for education by being forced to sit through terribly boring lessons with the nerds knowing the answer for everything?

The forthcoming GPU and sound support are all I'm waiting for to move my daily OpenBSD workstation to my M1 mini. I tested Asahi Linux on it earlier this morning and it was mind-bogglingly fast. My fastest AMD64 based system is a Ryzen 5 3600 with a NVMe main storage drive, and Linux on the M1 makes it feel like a 10 year old i3 with a spinning drive in comparison. Everything is just instant, file transfers are faster than they are on macOS on the same machine, and even without GPU acceleration, KDE Plasma is quick and fluid. I ran out of time to try OpenBSD today but I'll jump on that this week and see if the performance carries over to it.
But, it's got my one 'killer' feature YouTube doesn't have: Background play. And that's enough for me.

Also, I have numerous YT alternative apps installed, plus official YT app, so if I need any of the missing features, then I use one of the other apps that has it. And begrudgingly fall back to official YT when all else fails.

Sam's tweet is about college grads being too expensive. Which surprises me that he donated 250k to Joe Biden rather then Bernie Sanders.
Heat pumps are optimized and mostly used for heating. Being reversible isn't the point (just like it wasn't the point for AC).

In fact many heat pumps aren't reversible because replacing a coal stove heating a traditional water pipes and radiators system - with a reversible heat pump - will mess up your house when water condenses inside walls around the cold pipes. The whole system needs to be designed for this.

Also heat pumps are designed differently depending on the climate and operating temperature ranges. So buying a heat pump without asking someone to do the math is very risky and stupid. And probably it breaks the building code.
college is delaying young people to become mature, we're producing giant babies these days, thanks to endless parenting, online gaming, social screen time, now probably even metaverse, you name it.

on the STEM subject, teens good at math are never teacher's favorites, instead they're called nerds and some are even isolated from the rest, it's quite the opposite in Asia, or even in Europe. That's the root cause we need import so many STEMs from overseas, the culture smothered STEM from K-12. K-12 is anything but success IMHO.

middle school kids are more keen about their gender or identities, or how awful US was in the past, or their hair color...high school students must show how caring they're to the community or everyone must be some leader somehow while the truth is that they can barely take care of themselves without parents' caring, for academics nowadays SAT/ACT/school-ranking/etc are either racism or unfair...I will stop here.

A road to hell.

> Double the number of large quality state universities.

As far I can tell there aren't capacity issues to get accredited education at the undergrad level. The prices are driven by student loan availability and the need for investment in amenities for colleges to attract students.

Increasing the number of universities might worsen the problem due to the latter needing to redouble investments to attract students.
In San Diego there is the San Diego Fine Woodworking Association that is completely volunteer ran, from teaching classes to cleaning bathrooms. We also have a non-profit mill in the area that mills local trees that have fallen or been cleared. Both of these orgs love volunteers.

If you want Linux to compete, you need spreadsheet software as good as Excel and a word processor that's 100% compatible with Word. I tried to use LibreOffice for a while but Calc ins't there yet and I had tons of formatting problems when I sent documents to Words users. After dealing with this for a while you just give up and start using Office again.
As the other comment points out, the obsession with the flaws of the SAT completely ignores the fact that every single other method of evaluation is even worse, both at identifying promising students and at equity.

If you take it away, colleges will happily admit loads of "well-rounded" students with tons of expensive extracurriculars. They will be racially as balanced as possible, but their family incomes will all be very high. The kid from a poor broken home who somehow managed to score 1400 on the SAT will lose their best shot at standing out.
As a developer I want to implement everything possible on the web platform.

It's now a viable competitor for enterprise applications, both because web is getting more feature rich and these days has pretty much anything you need, and because desktop is getting worse with anti-features and jank. It's a sad state of affairs but that's where we are.

As a user I want to use cross platform applications as much as possible. I use e.g. libreoffice instead of ms office now by choice. This means that the eventual switch away from it will be easier.
I understand with text files you like the flexibility and independence you describe. You call that the value of plain text and I agree.

It seems many people build their identity on liking dogs. So if you say anything remotely negative about dogs, these people feel personally attacked and act accordingly.
One who does not like dogs is at least weird to them, if not outright evil. I hear it is the worst in the US, but it gets increasingly common here as well.
Some of them will try everything to get more dogs involved, including: classroom pets, pets in offices, fake emotional support animals. I wonder if they also manipulate studies like in TFA...

> More importantly, college is about much more than job training. College prepares people to be adults in every way, not to be a resource for corporations.

This is just middle-class religious belief. And a good one, because middle-class professional people have to reproduce themselves every generation, so they have to center credentialism or fall to working class or poverty.

If you're born rich, it's easy to die rich; if you're born poor, it's easy to die poor; if you're born middle-class, remaining middle-class is a battle for credentials.
