> and those that granted them with the belief that they will get the money back at some point

Most people who loan money factor in the chance that the money won't be paid back, for example, if the person who took out the loan files for bankruptcy.

Student loans, however, are much harder to discharge than other loans. (See https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/student-loan-debt-ba... for how the process works.)

What the state can do is get let student loans be dischargable as normal consumer debt, just like it once was.

This opinion piece titled "Don't Cancel Student Loans. Let Bankruptcy Law Forgive Them" at https://www.newsweek.com/dont-cancel-student-loans-let-bankr... is one of many pieces arguing for that change to bankruptcy law.
Good question... a trip to a crowded Chinese city would probably change your mind. They're a good _supplement_ to public transportation, not a replacement. They can clog infrastructure, can be abandoned, parked in mass illegally, and have disposal lifecycle problems of their own. E-bikes themselves depend on toxic mining too right now which is a problem people gleefully ignore, and not to mention the energy cost of producing steel is net-negative at the moment.

My preference would be trackless trollies and streetcars (5-10m intervals), followed by subway (15m intervals) and mid-distance electrified trains (30m-4hr intervals), supplemented with bikes.

I'm still hopeful for fuel-cell cars and aviation in the next 20years, as that represents the ultimate connivence for the USA, as the vast majority of the USA it's _hours_ drive between major cities.

Question:

Would it be better for the abuse to happen but not be digitalized and distributed such that there was some hope of said child being rescued by authotities after an investigation is kicked off by someone reporting it?

You have to think through things completely. Out of sight, out of mind doesn't mean that child doesn't get abused. It just means you don't see it.

What you're championing is really "I'm fine if a everyone else's ability to see content I don't care about is jeopardized in order to ensure I never ever see this type of content I do care about."

Which is counterproductive fundamentally, as I assume the welfare of the child is more important than the taboo'd digital artifact, correct? If you can't find it, you can't do anything about it, or pass it along to someone who can.

You don't have student loan debt so you do not need and will not get student loan forgiveness. Seems pretty straightforward!

I say this as a person who 100% supports student loan forgiveness and will experience no direct benefits (as I re-financed all of me and my wive's (much larger) student debts while interest rates were low).

Future Brotherhood of Steel member taking notes...
Sorry, but higher education is not about getting a job. It is for opening new possibilities and for learning to think on your own, it is about acquiring instruments for intellectual work. I would suggest making higher education even more disconnected from “preparing to enter the workforce”, because it is not what it is about.

It doesn't require we kill them, or anyone. We have to destroy the ruling elite's ability to function as a class. Whether that requires no violence or a significant amount, I can't predict; but, either way, we have to do it.

They've left the world worse off than it was 50 years ago, and they're destroying the planet--and all for nothing, too. The corporate system has to be scrapped before it's too late.

> The message, though, is deafening: You don’t have to pay for college in America. Once we grasp the consequences of “free college for all,” we’ll know the approximate effects of a full-fledged student debt jubilee. The most straightforward effect of free college would be a massive increase in college attendance and college completion. A standard estimate is that cutting tuition by $1000 raises college completion by about 2 percentage-points.

I disagree with Caplan's interpretation of this message (and I am also against "free college", generally speaking). I don't understand how one would conclude that "hold a debt for decades that you won't have sufficient employment opportunities to pay down, and then it might be forgiven" is a proposition that will increase attendance in college. To me this is a huge red flag to almost never take out a student loan, or do my due diligence very carefully before I do.

It appears disingenuous to consider student debt forgiveness to be "trillions in spending" (the government will not spend this money, the colleges have already been paid, they will simply stop removing it from the economy via payments from the debt holders). Surely Caplan, as an economist, knows this. He may think that increase in purchasing power due to the lack of debt payments is akin to new spending, but given 99% of debt holders haven't made a payment in 2 years (and we're, apparently, on the brink of a recession) that doesn't ring true to me.
See I’ve never understood that argument, because I would make the same argument about child tax credits or the payments made to people with children over the last few years. I don’t have children am I entitled to similar compensation? Or would I get mine through student loan forgiveness?
Sounds like the author is mostly worried about losing his job.
> At what point does the President lose authority

Jan 20th when the new President is sworn in.

If this testimony was true (and its already been contradicted by Secret Service); then it'd be hard to see how the agents shouldn't be fired, at the very least. If the President says "we go here", then they go there. He's allowed to choose the risks he takes.

Recall the speech in front of the church? The one where the story was how they tear gassed a crowd to clear the way? Again, the circumstances were not so dramatic as the media reported initially, but the safety risk there was certainly enough to make the Secret Service worry... Trump took that walk anyway.
I recommend his book "Four thousand weeks", it's on somewhat similar topics.

> despite it being a rout of the British army

The Allied Army was surrounded because of a Break threw in the South. The British Army could literally do absolutely nothing and they don't do anything to lose the overall battle.

In fact British keeping minimal organization alive and managing even limited counterattack had a strong effect German planning.

And then of course despite massive help by the British Pétain essentially stabbed them in the back.

Every poor person is eligible for food stamps, that is the difference.

The whole Po Valley in Northern Italy suffers from the heat island effect. Milan is freezing in the winter and is extremely hot in the summer, due to the Alps on three sides limiting air movement.

Limited air movement also increases pollution and weather changes very slowly. If it rains, it rains for a week.
I don't think that there is anything wrong with public housing being extended to the middle class or even the upper class. As long as it pushes housing prices down.

Labourers in Singapore do not make 2-3$/h anymore. Nowadays it's closer to 10$/h for the bare minimum. Yet prices are still at 120$/sqft or thereabouts.

The HDB in Singapore owns a controlling stake in many contractors, but yes the general construction is often handled by contractors. That's still different from the US methodology that subcontracts everything from design to maintenance, and it maintains the structural advantages of the government building housing I put forth above.
I think the speed _for all passengers_ was increased, because of the reduction in queueing.
People are told the student loan forgiveness is a wealth transfer from them to the debt holders, because they believe it will have to be paid out of their taxes. This is, I think, mostly propaganda. It could certainly be mitigated through the implementation details of a debt relief program.
I've had a similar thought related to CO2. The human race will become collectively dumber as CO2 levels rise. It might take a while for CO2 levels to double or quadruple, but high indoor CO2 levels make people perform worse, and so increasing the base CO2 level will make everyone dumber. And as you say, the heat won't help either.

This is an angle I've taken with people who don't believe human activity increases temperatures. A small intelligence hit applied to literally every single human is a big thing. And it's hard for people to deny we're increasing CO2 levels.
I'm not even speaking about those ancient times. Rather, I mean the events in 1915-1922, when Turks of various political affiliations massacred Greeks, Armenians and Assyrians.

That was probably true in the past, but the GI Bill after WWII definitely changed that.

Very good question.

The Behavioural Sink Wikipedia page doesn't list any independent replications, though Calhoun studied the phenomenon from 1947--1995, a period of 52 years.

I'm going to emphasize independent replication as having the same principle investigator study a question doesn't meet that bar. The failure to replicate (or of Wikipedia to note any replication which might exist) is curious given the notoriety and significance of the Rat Utopia studies.

For every release of neovim we're getting closer and closer to that vision.

I've been using NVChad (just neovim with a preset of mappings and plug-ins all pre-configured for you) for a while now. And it's been working pretty decent.

There's also the theory that humans caused the mammoths to go extinct not by hunting them to extinction directly, but by killing the adult males (because they have the largest tusks). Without a strong dominant presence to keep them in check, juveniles going through musth became so violent that they started killing each other and the females they pursued.

The scrolling model used on the c64 means you have to copy the entire screen which is difficult to do quickly enough to avoid glitches. In contrast for instance the NES outputs the content of a sliding window on a large buffer so you only have to move the window and draw the newly exposed screen area. That way you can create more dynamic games with the same processor.

In general, because of the Gulf Stream, western Europe is warmer than you would expect relative to the US based on latitude. Many Americans who are even somewhat familiar with Europe would be surprised how relatively far north Europe is.
It seems to me that the very reason we're uncomfortable is because we have evolved a warning system deterring us from overexerting ourselves in the heat. You can literally run some animals to death because of their relative inefficiency at dumping waste heat. Our homeostatic systems are generally superior but will also fail at some point.
I'm so glad to see this article on the HN front page. It's spot on and it's what makes coding such a difficult career and why it feels so non-meritocratic. It's happened to me a couple of times that I had to work under the leadership of someone who was far less skilled than me. It's a painful experience and it can take over a year for non-technical directors to figure it out; also, by the time they start to suspect something is wrong, they may have become friends and don't want to admit to themselves that their chief engineer is simply not good.

It's easy to say "Well, just quit and join a different company" but this trivializes how incredibly widespread this problem is across all companies including very financially successful ones. They have a huge amount of money; they can throw thousands of engineers at any problem; they don't need to be efficient to stay afloat and they usually aren't... And usually companies which are already earning a lot of money don't care about anything other than merely staying afloat - Everyone is just coasting along thanks to their market monopolies.

In my last role, I was presented with what could have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It could have worked out really well but it worked out terribly because the top engineer was not qualified for the job and neither were the founders. It's not like I can just turn around an find another opportunity like that the next day; it took 10 years and a lot of things had to line up exactly right to get that opportunity. This was the best financial opportunity I had come across in over a decade. I still think it could have worked out very differently.

Talent and skills don't attract such financial opportunities in this industry; it's all about luck. It's not even about social connections because people in this industry have an obsession with 'warm introduction' and this creates a huge amount of friction - It's literally impossible to socially network your way to a good opportunity; if you don't try hard enough, you won't get any opportunities. If you try too hard, investors or founders will feel threatened by you - It will make them uncomfortable. This industry is full of sheep; they're terrified to do anything differently than their peers, it doesn't matter how rich they are. They have FU money but they're terrified to say FU. It makes 0 sense to me.

For the average person who is or aspires to be above average, the tech industry is a kafkaesque nightmare. You have to be content with being average and rolling the dice. This means you have to content yourself with mediocrity and work on your people skills instead.
the company may have decided that the product is just more important than when OP was still working there so it requires more engineers to expand it etc.

Most students are in school because they want jobs, not to learn to think. The professors may be interested in that goal but how can they possibly achieve it with a student body that just wants their degree papers and a shot at the upper middle class?
In Germany university is mostly free. There are administrative fees in the range of ~200eu per year, and most universities have a subsidized but mandatory transit pass, which might be another ~400eu per year. There were explicit tuition fees in some states, a decade ago, but since they have been abolished it's usually below 1000eu/year (exception are private universities of course).

You need to have finished high school to qualify for university, but if you then get into an unpopular field, that is the only real restriction. More popular fields of study at more popular universities require a good high school diploma, but even there it's possible to sit on a waiting list for a couple of years.
