> And it's likely going to stay with the gay community as yet another STD for many years going forward.

But in this case, we already have a vaccine for it. In the US at least, once we start opening up smallpox vaccine reserves, if you're in the gay community and you have a lot of partners, seems like a no-brainer to get the vaccine and be done with the risk of tissue-scarring pox.

Yes. Get vaccinated when you can.

(I'm not the GP but I think there's a fair reason why someone would feel differently about loan forgiveness than other subsidies)

Normally a subsidy is established in advance to incentivize some behaviour, like... manufacturing solar panels or something.

A retroactive payment to only specific indebted solar panel manufacturers is called a bailout and does not have that effect, unless it was widely anticipated. It distorts the competitive landscape because it gives them a leg up over competing manufacturers who held back on investments that they would have made if they'd known the debt would be forgiven, and over new companies who are about to take loans to invest in their own factories, who now have to compete against fully-amortized equipment.

So in other words, it's not really a proper subsidy unless it's also available to new students going forward. But due to the weirdness of the education market, that would probably require some form of tuition price controls too.
Ironic, since Microsoft is the worst (in my experience) at being a giant black hole to emails sent from an otherwise well-configured (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, non-SBL-listed IP, &c) but not major SMTP host.
I am not sure what you are asking, other than asking for me to repeat myself. I gave the reason why Flatpak is the only option here.
It’s pretty cheap. Not as cheap as it once was but £9k a year for 3 years with no difficulty in getting the loan and only having to pay it back based on income level after you graduate is a pretty good deal - particularly compared with the US.
What specific hardware do you have in mind ?

Meantime - if your target is specifically learning/certifications - have you tried the virtual labs?

They are not “free”, but the pricing does not seem to be too bad if your goal is the certification.

You can also search for “GNS3” and see what pops up :-)

I would argue virtual devices are the most friendly approach e-waste wise.
I think there is a form of exhaustion regarding how crypto and Web 3 is supposed to resolve many things that seem to be working just well enough.

I understand that innovations do happen but the complexities (like smart contracts), the limitations of an append only database (that only store transactions and signatures), the damage done to our environment (CO2), the impact on electronic availability (video card shortages), the criminal uses of crypto and the life savings lost to a gambling like international market does make you wonder if this is all worth it.

I’m open to be proven wrong but I personally think that web3 and crypto, while very interesting, don’t have the attributes required to be a worthy innovation path for humankind

This is true up to the point of food scarcity. Between geopolitical conflict and crop failures around the world this year due to severe heat waves, we’re looking at a rough few years ahead of us for the global food supply.
The problem is expressing the situation as urgent but not yet out of control in a clear and concise way that doesn’t leave the reader/listener with the idea that the problem is one that can be ignored because it is not out of control yet.

We have lots of language to say this sort of thing, but the more words you add the easier it is to be misunderstood. On a sociolinguistic level we do sort of overuse the word “emergency” but it’s primarily because we tend to do most of our “highest priority” communication with chunks of words that fit in a sound byte, or newspaper headline, or bullet point that fits on a PowerPoint slide ,or tv news lower third.

Essentially, there's a very broad attempt to brand an actually regressive business bet as progressive. Microsoft (and Github) would love to appear generous, but they aren't.

Most Americans don't go to college and the vast majority don't get 4-year degrees. Those who do are the wealthier, more privileged 3/5 to 4/5 of the country. Some are scraping by on financial aid or scholarships, but as a whole, they'll have more money than other people throughout their careers.

As a result, it's a good marketing investment to give free access to those students capable of putting up 10K+ USD/year in tuition. In the future, a large number of them will be target customers or possibly subsidized via their employers.

Taking bets on self-taught people without those financial resources (present or future) is a great, prosocial thing to do, but it's not necessarily profitable.
Widely varies. I picked a random university in Scotland - the fees were just under 2000 Pounds per year if you're Scottish. The no-name University in my city in the US charges $10K.
Eh, just because the rulers are incompetent doesn't exclude the possibility that their actions are coordinated for larger goals... Even if those goals don't go 100% to plan.

What made me upset about the "Forte" process at Amazon was that managers deadlines for submitting their evaluations of their people was earlier than the deadline to submit peer feedback.

Managers made whatever decisions they wanted.

The previous system, "Evolution" had many issues, no doubt, but it made peer feedback a major input into the evaluations.
Still even using all of that, my thesis with heavy inline tikz took about 5 minutes per run (about 120 pages). And a full rerun with all tikz graphs redone (about 20), it took just shy of 20 minutes if the indexes existed already. That was all on a surface 4 pro from ~2015.
According to the CDC:

yes, free inevitably means unvalued and creates distortions in markets that lead to unintended consequences (like homeless people using trains as makeshift housing). in contrast, market competition is one of the reasons cited by the tokyo transit system for why they're so good.

also, economists are capable of estimating the ratio of private good to public good for a transit system, and we can simply apportion the funding of the network accordingly. if 40% of the value of transit accrues to the public, then pay that part out of taxes and set fares so that they pay for the other 60%. i'd rather have a system that responds in some proportion to market signals than one that is entirely immune to them.

in LA, they're trying to make transit free, and while i'd benefit from this, i oppose the initiative on these grounds.
Right, but in his example, you are also capped by the ability to also only drive one car at a time. And yet highways are overflowing with cars during peak commute hours.
Does anyone still have language requirements? I did my Google interviews in Perl and wrote mostly Java and Go there. At my current job, our codebase is all Go (expect frontend) and pretty much nobody we hire has prior Go experience.

Prior experience is almost a curse these days. I learned Go by having the Go team review every one of my CLs for a year. Now I do Go code reviews and think "that simply isn't done, I would never have been allowed to check that in", but often have a hard time supporting my arguments. (When Effective Go, Code Review Comments, and Test Comments fail me, I usually resort to snippets from the standard library. "This pattern appears 0 times in the standard library, I don't think we should use it." It's a lot of work, but I will say that a few things I thought were simply never done are actually done. And that's my standard; I hate it, but Go itself did it to implement Go, so you can too.)

Side rant: I guess the Go team stopped doing this. Read Kubernetes for the current state of Go at Google. Wow.
"Extremely" privileged, maybe not.

But I was too poor to even think of going to University in the UK, and that's not even half as bad as it is in the US; it's not just the student loans; it is also student living (rent, food, supplies), putting earnings on hold for half-a-decade and the possibility that you may not even have anything to show for it in the end (if you can't hack it or if the degree turns out to be not in-demand) it's not like you're guaranteed work.

It's a gamble, and a hard one to make if you're from a lower-class blue-collar or non-working household.

I'm sure I'll get a deluge of very privileged people here telling me that it would be effectively free to have an education in the UK due to certain debt forgiveness models and earning thresholds, I'm aware of those, but people would be hugely missing the point.
Yes. But the inhouse pile is very location specific (C# is not popular in every country and every business)
It's debatable, but at least everyone† agrees that solar panels don't impose major additional costs after initial construction. So I think we can come to less debatable conclusions by noting that the fairly knowable initial construction cost of nuclear power plants is higher than that of utility-scale solar plants, per watt, in most of the world. That way we don't need to argue about how long we have to hire guards for the million cubic meters of slightly contaminated gloves and concrete—even if that cost is zero, nuclear still loses, except in places like Norway.

By the way, France has existed as a nation for about 1700–1800 years. Maybe you mean "longer than France has existed as a state."

† There are a few coal-industry shills raising alarms about cadmium, but of course the currently popular kinds of solar panel contain no cadmium, and even the ones that did contain cadmium didn't pose a real problem because of the minuscule quantities and their resistance to corrosion.

I’m like many of you in enjoying drinking quite a bit. Too much in fact. As I’ve aged I realize that I like being fit and avoiding hangovers more than having an aid to relax in the evening. By cutting drinking I’ve also been able to cut my caffeine intake since I sleep more and better. And less caffeine means being able to sleep better at night. I’ve layered in less meat too.

This isn’t a self righteous pitch. It’s been part of a long term struggling of feeling what’s right. And when I grab a few beers with some friends, and it turns into a lot of beers with me suggesting “one more round” the fatigue the next day reminds me of the better equilibrium.

I make no judgments on others because I’ve been there.

You know that (the software application) Audacity is free (in some sense of "free"), because in your exploration you found the notion.

You do not need to know explicitly that Audacity was produced our of an effort that cost resources to the developers and other facilitators, because the proper mental process involves much more that you do not develop the opposite idea.

There may be again a link with the words of the late Prof. Patrick Winston: "Intelligence is that you do not need to run around holding a bucket full of gravel to reliably imagine what would happen" (not literal quote).

Sure Amtrak is government-run, but many other things we use on a daily basis aren't. Restaurants and stores have their own rules and can kick you out if they think you violated them, without much recourse for you if they were wrong.

Article doesn't explain how "potential score" works.

Considering it is 1 of 2 metrics that factor into total score, it sounds important.
There is no word. The concept exists because of the word. Typically words exist to describe a concept, but in this case it's the other way around. The concept would not have otherwise existed if it were not because of the word. Therefore the concept is illusory. Made up. Created by us.

It's not worth debating sentience anymore then it is to debate at what point in a gradient does white become black.

At what point is something sentient or not sentient? "Sentience" is definitely a gradient but the point of conversion from not sentient to sentience is artificially created by language. The debate is pointless.

Here's a better example. For all numbers between 0 and 100,... at what point does a number transition from a small number to a big number? Numbers are numbers, but I use language here to create the concept of big and small. But the concepts are pointless. You may personally think everything above 50 is big, I may think everything above 90 is big. We have different opinions. But what's big and what's small is not meaningful or interesting at all. I don't care about how you or I define the words big or small, and I'm sure you don't care either. These are just arbitrary points of demarcation.

When you ask the question at what point does an AI become sentient... that question has as much meaning as asking the number question.
Yet again chasing clicks and page views got in a way of journalism.

Imo viability should be considered if the price that the government pays is worth it, the 2022 budget seems to be around €457.6 billion. 2.5 billion seems to be totally worth it, as you agree.

If the measure would be kept year-round, it would cost around 10 billion, which seems a tad high. Are these costs offset somehow by the symbolic price of the ticket? Until 15 of July they sold around 30 million tickets so overall over the 3 months, maybe 40-45 million tickets would be sold. That makes 360-405 million, so around 14-16% of the cost. I'm not sure if this money goes to the transport companies or is used to offset the government's costs. If the ticket stays, but the price increases 2x or 3x (that would still be an enormous bargain IMO), costs would be offset even more, probably.

It's debatable of the economical effect that this measure already had, taking in consideration higher efficiency of public transport, more disposable money for the population, freer roads that might lead to more efficient transport services etc. Except the flat cost for the government and the long-term cost of infrastructure (which might be huge) I really can't see many negatives for this measure.

I am a swiss expat living in Sweden and I can confirm the trains are terrible over here. They are rarely on time, cancelations are very common and incidents can deadlock an entire region. I had to take cabs a few times at the last minute after cancelations to not miss a flight.
Let just say things are quite different in Switzerland.

The only thing swedes do right in trains is that they are very civil, make it easy for bikes, strollers and old people to use them, but that's about it.
We want government to run or regulate these systems as long as we trust the government but what happens when we don't trust the government anymore?

Like for example if in this years midterms there's a Congressional supermajority, and then the president is elected from that same party two years later and the courts are of that party.

Will we really want government regulations if things?

There would be widespread mistrust by many groups of people of the government having a single party in charge.

Now that government regulations are established and approved they can be used by the government at their will.
That it's still better than the no-worldwide coordination body alternative?

An optimal but impossible-to-implement world organization isn't a useful measuring stick for organizations that need exist in reality.

Nations exercise sovereignty within their borders. Nations have their own priorities. Those priorities often conflict with other nations'. Inconvenient in public health responses, but facts that must be dealt with.

And in a choice between (1) no WHO, (2) a WHO that spends time playing politics and is less effective than it could be, (3) a perfectly-efficient authoritarian WHO supported by a global police state... I'll take (2).

This is apparently not directed against carbon, but N2O, which is another greenhouse gas.

1000 per acre, maybe in the Mojave desert with a parcel size over 1000 acres. Acreage near anything that isn't a ghost town is well into 10-20k per acre. Land has an inherit scarcity.

Why should the banks forgive instead of forcing the colleges to pay for it? -- the colleges being the ones who fraudulently baited these students into moral hazard, offering something they couldn't warranty.

We need to stop treating colleges and college administrators as only the purest churches and priests.

It would be a major net positive if half of all universities went bankrupt, as was already predicted by HBS professor to be in 10-15 years.

I think the author misses the mark and does so in far too many words. He presents Thiel as having a confusing and, as the author admits, contradictory set of beliefs. A much more cohesive description of Thiel without the internal contradictions (a facist who is a nationalist and a libertarian and a white sepremacist and a technocrat and a globalist elite etc etc) is that of a neoliberal elite capitalist.

His ideology is not contradictory at all, as the author wants us to believe, unless you were to believe that his actions are somehow a reflection of the true beliefs that he holds. To give an example, his support for populist candidates is not evidence that he himself has a populist ideology. The premise itself is laughable - unless you believe in the kayfabe that is modern US politics. JD Vance is not a populist - though he plays one on TV. Thiel bankrolls what are effectively models, some hired from amateur modeling websites (citation, national (hypen) justice.com), and uses them as mouthpieces to achieve his political and idealogical aims.

> So, let’s sum up. Peter Thiel believes he belongs to an elite group, often understood in implicitly or explicitly racial terms,

Thiel does belong to an elite group. He doesn't just believe he does.

> that is entitled to set aside democratic governance in favor of pursuing a program of technological progress and national restoration.

Author provides zero evidence of Thiel performing any national restoration. How is Thiel's technocratic surveillance apparatus (as described by the author) in any way nationalistic?

> He believes the political means to accomplish this is through a charismatic leader with manipulative, populist appeals

Finally the author is into something here. He is connecting Thiel's use of political puppets to achieve his political aims.

> He envisioned a kind of imperialist world-state controlled not through deliberative bodies like the U.N. but directly by the intelligence and secret police bureaus.

World-state? That sounds like globalism to me, which is the opposite of nationalism.

> He combines the ideology of white collar, petit-bourgeois intermediary class with its emphases direct management techniques and closely-held ownership with the grandiose, world-spanning designs of an industrial titan

Got it, so he's a capitalist.

No, I do not work for Red Hat and I have never worked for Red Hat. I am just a person who uses GNOME and systemd, and while I do have my own complaints about them, I have enough experience to respond to most of the common complaints. Are you aware that there are many Linux distributions besides RHEL and Fedora that are shipping GNOME and systemd?

I also do not appreciate you looking through my comment history to try and pick something out to seemingly dismiss what I am saying. Is it inconceivable that I do not have a financial interest, and I just happen to be knowledgeable in these areas?
