No, if the federal government "forgives" student debt, neither spending nor budget receipts will decrease to compensate.

If any other institution ventured to forgive such massive amounts owed, they would be forced to compensate with their budgets, but they don't have monopolies on violence.

>Forgive these kids loans, who were just trying to go to college to learn and gain job skills to compete in the world and are now debt slaves.

Nah. Those kids spent 4 years partying and treating adult life like an extension of high school with no consequences and free rent. I graduated highschool in ‘08, and I can clearly remember wondering how in the hell all of my friends on social media were living the lives they were, as I scraped by working minimum wage jobs in the depths of the recession.

I’m all for forgiving things like nurses and teachers who meet some public service requirements, but the people who spent $100k they didn’t have on a Communication degree can cry me a river.
Two ways, dial-up modems at home and wired ethernet at work/school.

At home you would use a Mac/PC/etc as a terminal, connected via telephone line to some host like Compuserve ou your workplace computer. This prevented use of the landline for voice communication, a source of some jokes.

At work your terminal/workstation would be connected 24x7 via wired ethernet, or some other LAN but ethernet became dominant in the 1980s, at first with coax cable.
What's the moral or economic case for forgiving debt of people who borrowed to go to undergrad and then borrowed further to get a fairly useless grad degree like an MFA?

It's more complicated than that. Inflation is a combination of supply and demand. Too few goods for an extended period of time? Inflation. Excess money allowing people to bid up for the goods they want? Inflation.

A sudden reduction of debt might contribute to people spending more for the same goods they already buy, or it might lead to more savings and investment as people are able to escape living paycheck to paycheck and start entering stock markets. It might mean they are able to buy goods and services they couldn't before, but those goods might have ample supply.

It's just not as simple as, X therefore inflation.

You can't. If your people do not feel the need to live humbly and serve their country they are going to flock elsewhere to the highest bidder.

> As a hypothetical, suppose the camera glass or lens was made with materials or a technique that caused it to be 90% of a phone’s cost to produce. Then replacing this item would cost >90% of the phone’s price, even though it is “small”.

When I say there are people who do the repair for much cheaper I mean including the price they pay for the part, not merely their labor. Your hypothetical is not the case here.
Can someone explain to me how raising interest rates combats inflation? Doesn't it do the opposite? If rates go up, financing becomes more expensive, meaning I'll need more money to do business, meaning I'll have to raise my prices to match?

Why do you say that?

We're now seeing senior citizens get their Social Security garnished for student loan payments! Do you want to see people with a lifetime of student loan debt?
Legal != moral.
I don't think anyone I know here in the UK saw a temporary lockdown as "confiscating a huge chunk of liberty".

On the contrary, we recognise that everyone has a duty to keep everyone else safe, which was especially true during the early pandemic times, when it seemed like it was quite dangerous and Americans ignored it and died in the tens of thousands.

It was when it was observed that we were not in it together that heads rolled.

And it looks like our observations panned out, as we do not have any lockdowns anymore and I don't know of anyone who is still getting sick in a bad way.
At least from what I'm seeing, most people are not quitting and doing nothing. The ones I've seen are taking other jobs. I had two coworkers quit my pervious team and took jobs that have remote options and higher pay (2x in one case).

I think we're seeing people take early retirement (and some increase in mortality/disability) and the higher than usual vacancies they're leaving create an effect where people get hired or promoted into those spaces. The ones who get promoted then leave a vacancy at the lower levels for other to jump into. The increase in wages over the past couple years is enticing people jump around, which I believe is creating a lot of inefficiency (along with potential burnout), which is leading to companies increasing headcount to try to make up for it, while exacerbating the labor supply issues.

But who knows...
This doesn't fit my experience with apple reparation process. You usually can request a quote prior to any action, can you elaborate on the context? Was it returned to factory via a shipping company prior to any quote from the support?
I know laws are much kinder to the customers in EU than in the USA, but such a difference of process sound pretty odd.
If student loans are forgiven, would those who already paid them off be eligible for rebates?

If not, why would we want to reward large amounts of debt? Isn't that a recipe for disaster in a country where the average citizen already has ~6,000 dollars of credit card debt?

This is the result of managers who have no idea how to do the tasks of the employees they are "managing". E.g., non-technical manager managing technical employees who uses silly metrics like LOC because he/she has no idea how to evaluate the employee's performance.

Also, upper management somehow feel that their middle and lower managers can be trusted to act like adults while the people who do the actual work cannot be.

The proper solution is getting rid of management, and letting workers get their jobs done.

Well, it would/will. It would be no different than if the government wrote everyone massive stimulus checks and those with student loans used said checks to pay them down.

You'd see a huge spike in demand for various things as people would have more money to spend. That said I know a lot of people who were railroaded into college as 17 year old children before they even knew how credit cards worked, got a useless degree because they had no direction, and by the time they wised up were up to their eyeballs in debt and unable to get a well-paying job to pay it down.

I'm hesitant to pile even more inflation on top of what we have already, but if I could wave a magic wand I'd want to forgive a lot of those debts as matter of justice. They were mostly kids who were given false promises by every person and every institution they ever trusted up to 17 years old, and then told to make a decision based on said information that ended up saddling them with a lifetime of irrevocable debt. Society at large should take responsibility for that misguidance.
Seems plausible, yes.

The screens arrive at the factory by boat, in an optimally-packed container. Replacement screens are individually packaged and delivered in low volume by courier.

Apple must first examine the laptop, which isn't free, then put in the replacement, and do acceptance testing, because they warranty repairs, and even if they didn't, not repairing something and claiming it's a repair is bad press.

Maybe they make profit as well who knows, but it's easy for me to believe that the assembly-line price of a screen triples by the time a repair is installed and the user gets the laptop back.

Starting to look like some of the M1 Airs got a bad batch of screen glass, which is a separate matter. If so, here's my prediction: Apple will do the same thing they did for the butterfly keyboards and eat the replacement cost, and people will be complaining about it ten years later.

Unlike the butterfly fiasco, I'm not betting on this being a design flaw, it's either the law of large numbers or a badly-tempered batch of glass.

None of that is relevant to the cost to replace an uninsured screen which broke under user-error conditions.

I believe your federal good government has fully guaranteed these loans so it doesn't really matter. The lenders still get paid as the write off would mean government taking the hit.
Yep. They could've simply used "shipping included" or any other honest phrasing.
Our inflation is not solely due to energy costs.
To be clear, I'm not saying that's what they do currently. Just that you can get useful metadata from an aggregate of very basic info like this.
Pay As You Earn more or less solved this. Your repayment is capped to a percentage of your discretionary income and then after 20 years any remaining balance is forgiven. You can quibble about how long until the payment is forgiven or the percentage or how discretionary income is calculated, but the general idea is spot on, IMHO.

The problem with blanket forgiveness is "moral hazard". Meaning if you do a blanket forgiveness now people will continue/increase taking out student loans in the hopes they might be forgiven. Also, just because someone has a lot of student loan debt doesn't mean they're in need. Early career doctors, as an example, will have a ton of debt but are going to be a top earner for the next 20-30 years.

> I believe in many states it's illegal for you to be recorded at work.

That doesn't seem right where are you getting that? A workplace is probably not considered "public" so a third party might be restricted on recording you there. But your employer isn't a third party here so you're straight back into og labor relations and what does your contract say and what does your union allow etc.
Hence the changing who's paying for it. Spending and revenue will be unaffected, which is the problem.
I'm currently reading The Gripping Hand years after having first read The Moat in God's Eye. There's further exposition on the concept of "Crazy Eddie." Nothing to do with computer-business Crazy Eddie. The Motie Crazy Eddie is an apocryphal figure who embodies the misguided notion all problems have solutions.

Some quotes, from the 2nd book:

"We will call him Crazy Eddie, if you like. He is a ... he is like me, sometimes, and he a Brown, an idiot savant tinker, sometimes. Always he does the wrong things for excellent reasons. He does the same things over and over, and they always bring disaster, and he never learns."

...

"So why did you say that Crazy Eddie is supposed to fail? Don't the Moties admire Crazy Eddie? (...)" "(...) But yes, I think they all admire anyone mad enough to think that all problems have solutions. Which doesn't mean that they expect the universe to cooperate."

I like the concept of Motie "Crazy Eddie" because it's fun to in turn imagine if humans ever had the need and opportunity to explain our concept of "Murphy's Law" to aliens who have a different default outlook. It's interesting to compare and contrast the two. They're similar in that they both express a tongue-in-cheek pessimism, but the Motie parable is a defeatist justification of not trying. The human version is defeatist acceptance of the suffering that comes from trying. Crazy Eddie is someone else to watch and learn what not to do. Murphy is you, and you never learn. From the perspective of the Moties, all humans are Crazy Eddie.

Edit: another compare/and contrast is Motie Crazy Eddie causes his problems due to his own choices being self-defeating attempts at solutions to problems. An example given is melting down all of your stock of screws to cast a screwdriver. In contrast Murphy's problems are caused by events (at least partially) outside his control, with the implication that all choices lead to (the potential of) ruin.

Not that I could find - but I didn't look for long to satisfy my curiosity. There was a case where e-Ink defended against another patent claim, but not any where they were the aggressor. The set of patents could be for defensive purposes (as in to be used in defending against other patents), or to prevent competition. I didn't find anything definite either way, but as always absence of evidence doesn't really mean much.

Your edit doesn’t help. That’s just like giving advice to a straight man who complains about not being able to find a woman - “just find a man. I haven’t slept with a woman in 10 years. You don’t have to date women.”

It's nice in theory, but if you have changed your phone number at anytime to the one you have on Google, you will never get back into your account to be able to delete it. Also Google has no support/tech to actually help you. Useless service that just sells your data.
Yes. It's a little confusing because 35mm =~ 36mm. But, as you say, the 35mm is the physical width of the film including the perforations used to mechanically advance the film in the camera.

Apparently, if you hold this camera horizontally, it shoots a portrait orientation photo of the size you say whereas a "normal" 35mm camera would shoot a landscape orientation photo that is 36mm x 24mm.
Can I ask, since you're as a person who has administered endpoint protection products: how much legitimate stuff do they actually catch?
What if the stolen iPhone was your only way to access your email/iCloud? You might not be able to confirm it as stolen then.

I do agree that e-waste can be a problem, but unlocking the iPhone seems trivially easy, and as noted in this article, the real problem is that when devices you own break, they might become very expensive paperweights (aka e-waste) as repairing them might cost more than the device is currently worth.

And I believe Apple already has a program where they can recycle an iPhone back to spare parts without compensation as you describe.
They're not wasting money. They simply don't have the massive wealth of the North to jump off from or to cushion blows. On top of that a large quantity of what they do earn is spent on interest payments to the North.

>Of course, the ability for only one entity to source and supply those will tilt the scales towards a higher price
Has a similar experience with upwork once where the contractor (who are screen recorded by upwork to make sure they're "working") would just spend large amounts of time scrolling up and down on the IDE looking at source code - literally hours - to look busy and keep the meter rolling.

If you can't measure output, there is no point in measuring input.
Why? An organism that causes millions of human deaths needs to be wiped out. This is an evolutionary imperative. If a species (humans) get out-competed to death at large scale it will go extinct.
> The claim is not that the problem is in the code.

But exceptions act very much like the problem was the code. They cancel the following code in any function on the stack, which in general is unrelated to the error in the state where the exception originated.

Another problem is that the exception originates from code instead of the object that is in a bad state. In other words, you need to step on a landmine to even notice that the object was already bad. It would make much much more sense if the "exception" was stored with the object/handle instead of propagated up an unrelated call stack, a single time.

With Erlang exceptions, the model might fit better I don't know. I looked at it many years ago but never used it.
No big sector has seen similar level of YoY growth like tech. STOXX 600 is almost flat for last 20 years. While S and P 500 and Nasdaq rose 5-10 times over that period. While tech is not everything for the economy, it seems tech is everything for economy growth in past 30 or so years.
That's true - it's a rather privileged view to assume that everyone all over the world enjoys the same facilities, I know that. If you are somewhere where you can't have services people from rich countries consider basic, like credit cards, then you are left out. That sucks. Hopefully the more decentralized internet being built these days will be a solution.
Student debt is a personal responsibility. It is a personal choice. There are people who knowingly decided not to take higher education because they knew it would make them go into debt and instead went to work instead, providing for their family. These are real tangible opportunity cost for these people who decided that they couldn't afford college debt.

If you forgive student loans, then those people who went on debt with abandon in expensive universities, expensive cities, and intentionally took out loans more than they can afford, you are giving these people who made bad decisions advantage over people who didn't.

America is about personal responsibility, at least that's my view as an immigrant, that's why I came here.

If you want to make things fair, then just give everyone $80k. Went to college or not. Of course that would destroy the economy.

I care less about being called names like deplorable or NIMBY. It's not like it would change my mind.
It’s not about management, it’s about convincing a jury that knows absolutely nothing about your company and industry except what two lawyers argue to it.
Maybe the colleges and universities that made big money out of all these loans should be paying off these student loans. Why do I and other tax payers need to bail out Jimmy's fine arts degree in 14th century calligraphy?

iFixit gets those screens by salvaging them from existing MacBooks, hence the price.

Similar screens from other manufacturers can be found for retail at $100-$200, and Apple pays less given they manufacture in bulk.

So unless you think the labor is worth $400-$500...

very bad take. inflation hurts the lower class the most, and these are likely to be people who don't even have student loan debt because they never went to college. so you're advocating for giving the middle and upper class a break at the expense of the poorest demo in America.
Yes, definitely. He showed a mix of through hole, SMD, Manhattan and Wirewrap techniques proving that he knows what is the best approach for each building need.
