in my school they pay students to tutor. it was actually quite competitive. A lot of tutors I knew went on to get really good jobs right after graduation.

it works out really well for the student. instead of working a regular job during the year you get to do something that benefits your career, you build a relationship with your professors and it pays more than if you were working at the local grocery store.

Depends on what other value you get from your “heater”. My PC, running at full whack, draws about 700W, which all gets radiated as waste heat. It’s enough to maintain the temperature in my (well-insulated) living room when it’s 20C colder outside.
Precisely. The first pass generated a temp file and compiled/ran it, but that lead to annoying pauses when trying to run simple scripts (probably 500ms latency? Maybe a tad more?). Yaegi cut that latency dramatically. I think you’re right that this may make it slower for larger scripts or for sufficiently large inputs, however the biggest bottleneck for me with jq isn’t performance but learning it’s language repeatedly.

> Stimulus/Rescue: I heard a stat on a podcast that said the vast majority (maybe 2/3?) was unspent, so it seems unlikely this is a major driver.

What does it mean to be 'unspent'? If it's put into bank accounts and banks risk the money on mortgages or something, then it gets spent by proxy, and drives up housing costs as banks seek to create new loans

Sure. But rolling back those privileges within an act of overt political revenge - that insures it becomes yet another expensive, taxpayer funded bench-slap.

Let's not be obtuse though. The majority of healthcare costs are incurred at end of life. Perhaps insurers and the government should not subsidize any life saving care for those over the average mortality.

I know for example, my grandmother who lived in europe many years ago, had failing kidneys. While today it's likely she could have subsisted for more years on dialysis, perhaps that money didn't need to be spent.

Life is finite, and racking up bills at EOL is a waste. People need to learn how let others die with grace, instead of giving chest compressions to a 85 year old 80lb grandmother.
Yeah that sounds fine too if you can do it. Anything that prevents hospitals from being operated by large profit-seeking entities with no other stake in them would probably be a strict improvement over the current system.

I think the practical issue is those fields that have similar restrictions basically predate a major societal shift. We now consider the only valid limits on profit and ambition to be market forces. I'm not sure restricting hospitals in this way is less radical than just nationalizing them, in terms of practical politics.

Anyway, again, sure. I'm not informed enough on this subject to know what model would actually work best. I think the problem is the raw exclusive profit motive rather than who specifically is running them, but there are a lot of ways to eliminate that.
So, rounded corners, huh?
Honestly it's just not a possibility in most of the dentist offices I've visited in Estonia as well as not really a thing (I don't know anyone who has ever gone under GA). Whatever horrible stuff that needs to get done gets done with you wide awake, and that's the norm. Good thing is that it's over pretty quickly.

When I lived in Spain I knew they offered GA there, but it usually meant paying 100+ EUR more, which is quite a lot. And europe doesn't really have a thing such as dental insurance. In most countries (Not 100% sure) in Europe you pay out of pocket for all the dentist stuff. Maybe you get a free cleaning once a year.

But other than the availability of GA and the money, I have nothing against it and would have obviously preferred that to my experience of medieval dentistry.

There are too many patients and not enough doctors. This isn't caused by capitalism, capitalism doesn't limit the # of doctors. Becoming socialist doesn't magically allow doctors to see patients for twice as long. If we had socialism more people could afford doctors(a good thing!) but it would make this specific problem worse, because there would be more patients. This is caused by the AMA lobbying to limit the supply of doctors in order to drive up salaries.

It's why we have this.

> Serious students are there to learn from competent teachers- i.e. someone that is proficient in the art of conveying knowledge, not merely possessing knowledge or having successfully brought grant monies to their university.

These two are largely diametrically opposed.

- Any professor bringing in significant grant money is at an R1 school.

- R1 schools are famous for bad teaching by the tenured faculty, largely because quality teaching doesn’t gain them much.

- Quality teaching can be found, often in abundance, at small colleges. Some of these colleges do not have weeder courses. There are some serious students at these colleges. These are the rare exceptions, imho.

I'd be very surprised if I was on some kind of static whitelist from the early days of Gmail. Such a list, if it exists, would likely be reserved for much higher-volume sending IPs.

I've helped others set up self hosting much more recently, and haven't had any reputation problems beyond the early period where the IP has no history. (It is important to find an IP that doesn't have recent bad reputation, but that is fairly easy to do. Unless your host is in the business of hosting spammers most IPs will be clean.)

The reality is honestly just that self-hosting mail is not as hard as all the people who don't do it say it is.
My understanding is that the integration work for these huge academic patchsets, took up the lion's share of any time the maintainers booked as "working on JIT." If not, these patchsets at least got in the way of useful progress in JIT work, redirecting "work on JIT" into themselves; where progress gradually slowed due to the "big ball of mud" that each of these patchsets were; and then all such progress was lost when the patchsets were given up on altogether.
What do you mean by hosting? It is basically necessary to relay outgoing mail via a reputable ISP in order to not be spam-sorted. They will then make sure their outgoing IPs are respected.

For incoming mail you need a spam-filter, but that is in your hands.
> Tuning their body is the responsibility of the player. The teams aren’t sending them a list of what to eat, how to train or what exercises to do. That’s on the athlete.

This is definitely not the case in European football. A single player can cost a team £100m in transfer fees, wages and agent commissions. It is in the club's interest to make sure that player is fit enough to play as many games in the season as possible. Players have curfews and will be fined by their club if they're spotted drinking alcohol or eating pizza after hours. There are vacation days and 'cheat days', but otherwise diets and lifestyle are tightly restricted.

It wasn't like that 25 years ago, when club football was simply a multi-million dollar sport instead of a global, multi-billion-dollar empire. Alcoholism was rife in the English league, as were poor diets due to the absence of coaches and managers who understood the importance of nutritional science.

I think giving a company what amounts to governmental rights is extraordinarily dystopian regardless of any benefits the government may get from such an agreement. Why shouldn't we turn San Fransisco into a city controlled by Google? Surely it could be beneficial to both.

Second, I don't think it was retribution for going against the Parental Rights bill. The opposition to the bill (and the arrest of some Disney employees involved with human trafficking) is the catalyst that brought Disney's special privileges to the forefront. It is not the reason they are losing the privileges. There would have been calls to remove the special privileges regardless of Disney's opposition to the bill.

Lupus is a broad category of auto-immune diseases. Some are easier to diagnose than others. It sounds like yours was one of the easier ones. Easier, but not easy! Many Lupus diagnoses rely on differential diagnosis. AKA eliminate every other possible diagnosis and if they all are negative it must be lupus.

I just can't get over the fact that it comes from the NSA. Sure, it might be more secure, when properly configured, than without it. But it's the fucking NSA. The same agency that backdoored Dual_EC_DRBG. They're ostensibly an agency that is supposed to protect us from malicious digital threats, but they have always sacrificed that mission any time they have had the chance. I will never trust them, and I say that as a family member of someone in the NSA.

> This exodus may be a good thing in the end.

Hrmmm. Pretty sure if 90% of nurses actually left the profession it would be a serious problem.

That being said, I would be surprised if this actually happened. If even 5% left the profession would probably become more lucrative, since pay would have to rise to retain those who remain. Meanwhile, although nursing is not super highly compensated, the alternatives for someone who has only a nursing education and skillset will likely be worse. That may lead to a gap in ideation about leaving vs actually leaving, because the fact of the matter is that we all still have to put food on the table.
Let me add two more payment scenarios:
1) Pay in the form of a credit card number, where the provider ends up paying CC processing fees to process the payment.
2) Ask for the money back, months later.

It is entirely possible to host your own email server, I do it for example, there is no way to reliably know that other people are receiving your message.

That is: When self-hosting email you can reliably receive email, but can't reliably send it.

The fundamental problem is that email is a broken protocol and too many people are making too much money mitigating the problem of spam rather than solving it.

Companies that need to keep their email servers working have to deal with extortion from anti-spam companies to attain reliable message delivery. It is a racket.

This means that even if you get everything working 100% with all the perfect security protocols and conventions in place the chances of anybody actually receiving your email at this point is roughly 50/50. There is nothing you can do to ensure reliable message delivery without getting your servers whitelisted by most of the popular spam houses. And even then you have to deal with large public companies like Google and Microsoft that may or may not forward messages to recipient based on secret rules that change constantly.

So while it is possible, I host my own email, I can't rely on it. I use gmail for situations were reliability matters.

It is better to use something like Mastodon for correspondence if you can help it.
I taught university (big state school) about 10 years ago and it was department policy to flunk >= 40% of each calculus class. We curved to accomplish this and every class was told this was the policy on day 1. We got a mix of students at my school and this was to keep the dopes from designing airplanes and such. I personally would have been happier letting engineering do their own dirty work, but that was math's job and I like my plane flights to be uneventful, so yeah.
You're absolutely right, which is why the IA buys physical books, scans them, and makes them available online under so-called "Controlled Digital Lending". Renting out one digital copy at a time is covered by fair use, they argue, although it hasn't been tested in court.*

I live in a temperate climate, where temperature goes up to around 35 degrees Celcius in summertime. I don't tolerate temperatures above ~28 degrees well. To my surprise, I have found that if I go for a short run in the hottest time of the day, that will seemingly kickstart my body's thermal self-regulation and I'll only experience a fraction of the heat discomfort for around ~2 days. If anyone is interested in trying this, be mindful of the dangers of heatstroke and dehydration.

I did the same thing. Got a Bachelors in CS in 1 term at WGU. Very happy with it, got a great job after graduation and I feel very well prepared for it.

I know this sounds really sketchy so here are my thoughts.

* Most undergraduate-level college courses (from any school) are stupid easy, especially 101-level classes. You could skip every lecture, spend 3 hours studying before the final exam and still pass with a B or better. This is what I did for 2 years at a traditional state school where I studied mechanical engineering. At WGU it is exactly the same, except you don't need to wait until the end of the term to take the exam. You can schedule the final exam on day 1 of the term and then move on to the next course if you pass.

* It's not that hard to get through a textbook quickly if you are disciplined. If there are 20 chapters, read 5 per day and you will finish in 4 days. On day 5 wake up early, take a practice test, review the questions you missed and re-read those sections, repeat 3-4 times and you should be scoring 80-90%, that's a pass so schedule the final exam for that evening. After these 5 days of studying you will be better prepared than the average college student, who generally fucks around all term, shows up for lectures but doesn't pay attention, and hardly reads the textbook at all, but somehow still passes.

* Lectures and videos are a waste of time, reading is more efficient

* It helps massively if you can study full time. I took out loans to pay the rent and tuition and didn't work a side job. I studied 9-5 every day like it's my full time job. I paid back my loans after 1 year of working.

* The hardest courses take 10-15 times as long as the easiest ones. Data Structures and Algorithms, Computer Architecture and Discrete Mathematics etc. are the big ones and this model lets you spend more time on that and less time on bullshit.

* Controversially, WGU makes sure you learn SQL really, really well and glosses over Linear Algebra. I find my SQL skills to be extremely useful on the job. I've since studied Linear Algebra on my own time, but I haven't found any uses for it outside of my game development hobby.

* No, you can't master a subject you spent 1 week studying. But that's true of all undergraduate courses, not just WGU, which is why new grads struggle with basic leetcode questions unless they grind leetcode outside of school. In my opinion the purpose of a bachelor's degree is to teach you the basics and bring you to the point where you can get an entry level job and study on your own, which WGU's BSCS absolutely does do.

* Getting a degree in 3 months might seem impressive, but it's not. The average college student might spend 4 years at school, but if you only count the time they are actually studying, it's not going to be more than a couple of months. And when they do study, it's not effective, it's not goal oriented, they study out of obligation and fear of failure which leads to procrastination and burnout and all-nighters before exam day that aren't very productive.
OP is already in the world "outside". That's the point; they're in it for the paper, since the paper unlocks possibilities.
I didn't read the article that way (although it's clear many posters did).

The author learned a lot independently. There's a question of what to do with that knowledge. A system like WGU does a few things:

1) Identify gaps and help fill them. Independent learners almost always develop gaps. One benefits from bringing that knowledge to a uniform "undergrad CS degree" level

2) Provide a certification once that's done.

A traditional university degree takes 4 years, costs $200k, and has mixed quality. Being able to do 75% of that independently, and having an institution gap-fill for a few grand? That sounds awesome.

For brand recognition, I don't see WGU as any better or worse than the 4500+ other random universities and colleges in the US. It doesn't match the top few hundred, but that's okay. Most don't.

I'm not sure who would compare it to Phoenix, ITT Tech, DeVry, or other scams like that.

I'd much more place WGU as more a competitor to ASU. ASU is awesome, and is really trying to pioneer models of innovative, quality, low-cost, scalable education.

I hope one of them succeeds.

By the way, yourself being a former WGU student, would you recommend WGU to a super-gifted kid? E.g. having someone start college there at e.g. age 13? That, plus CMU OMSCS, seems like something they could finish by age 17. Socially, I'm not sure they'd do well starting traditional college early. Academically, middle / high school seems like a waste of time.

TBH I don't know if any economic system is stable in the long term. It's something that neither pops out of the mathematics of the universe nor has been selected for and tuned by evolution. We're far, far out on a branch that this planet has likely never seen before.

With long life spans and high standard of living, caring for the elderly in societies is a really tough problem. Throughout most of human history, people haven't lived this long, and if they did, they were either of the few tribal elders or taken care of in multi-generation households. The modern individualism and independence assumed today doesn't have a lot of good solutions.

There’s a lot of FUD out there about hosting your own email. I’ve been doing it for years and it’s great. Use postfix and dovecot, and research how to maximize your delivery.

I notice that people recommend against self hosting by pointing out that gmail, aol, hotmail, etc. are likely to hide your email in spam folders, refuse it, or just silently drop it on the floor. The flip side of that is that these companies are providing broken email service to their customers: it’s not a mail delivery problem for me, it’s a mail acceptance problem for you. My email setup gives me about one false positive on incoming mail per year, at most. So don’t use these providers; their service is broken.
