"At best you can assume an invisible hand of the market for hiring graduates influencing student enrollment decisions"

Yes it's done that and more. For instance, in many universities humanities courses have taken a hit because they're not as lucrative financially in either students numbers or in other ways. My profession is technical but I'm not in favor of nuking the humanities (especially so core subjects, history, philosophy, languages etc.).

What's really been lost from university education is the once-important notion of learning for its own sake—and of student life—the spirit of Gaudeamus igitur. Those notions were there but dying during my time quite some decades ago, today they've been completely subsumed or swallowed up by financial considerations. That, I think, is a shame.

In an era where financial considerations dominate, the whole issue of grades, passing examinations is crucially important because it's coupled more tightly than ever to one's livelihood than in the past. Hence, it's little wonder we're now seeing these issues looming much larger in students' minds than ever they've done in the past.

(In my time student protested and demonstrated and often did so violently (anti-Vietnam war rallies, 1968 student riots etc.) but from my recollection there was none of the angst about courses/grades that there is here today (except of course for usual level of time immemorial complaints that have always been part of the background noise of universities.)
Instead of issuing every post office, supermarket and dodgy corner store a new barcode reader which can scan the stamps themselves in order to prove the point of the original person complaining of a panopticon?

But it isn't programmable, and I can't easily carry large quantities of it. Is it really so crazy that some people want to use crypto? The person wasn't saying "crypto uniquely solved this problem" they were defending against someone who said "crypto is useless if you can't do this".
DurableObjects? It's a totally arbitrary API that's non portable and definitely not easily replaced. And once you opt out of db there's a lot less reason for the whole thing.

For that matter, the Asians you see in studies of the average test scores in somewhere like “China” aren’t representative of the educational ability of the average rice paddy farmer, but of more urbanized populations.

It’s a nice counter argument but the comment you’re replying to is essentially a slam-dunk on this entire MBA discussion.

Yes and no.

In general, they are. A direct democracy (or referendums etc) would more directly reflect this. Being a republic, they are supposed to also prorect the ideals/structure of the country to safeguard the rights of minority groups (not really an issue in this context, but wanted to point that out).

This thinking is the exact reasoning I try to avoid any form of self labeling. Everyone else is going to assume since you share a label you must agree 100% with all opinions of another person of the same label.

I'll add that every conservative in my life would be against this. It actually the kind of thing they hate most about the democratic party policies they complain about: government mandated. Does the topic of vaccine mandates ring a bell?

People often forget just how quickly public opinion changed in this country. Case in point, Obama opposed gay marriage when he ran in 2008.
This was a campaign promise from Biden, and why shouldn't he reap credit from following through by doing this is an election season. At least he's not on the ballot, and I can think of many worse things politicians regularly do.

Consider also that these federal marijuana convicts were charged due to such simple infractions as carrying weed onto federal property such as national parks (given their greater popularity in recent times).

Well, they just voted on cannabis reforms recommended by the WHO two years ago, and the votes seemed to be split nearly 50-50.

What perks does citizenship bring? You have to do all the paperwork if you want to go anywhere, you have to follow all the rules, and you still have to pay taxes even if you leave the country. Being a citizen or even a legal resident is just a bad deal at this point.

On the other hand, if you just walk across the border, you qualify for all of the benefits, and even now get to vote just like citizens, but there are no obligations at all. You even qualify for free housing, free healthcare, free internet and cellphone service, and free food, just for showing up without papers.

I like the idea of periodic Wikipedia moonshots, although the storage format is kind of an open question, I've wondered for awhile if a DVD made from e.g. quartz, platinum, and titanium might be up to the job.

It's bad because there are people that have been sitting in prison that could have been released over a year and a half ago, but Biden would rather let them rot for a while longer just so he could score political points at a more convenient time.
Wind turbines shouldn't be audible from the distances showed in the video. The noise falls sharply after 300 meters. The shadow flicker can reach up to 1500 meters for the largest rotors, but in the video it affects what looks like a barn, not a house.

> Teslas AEB works but if the driver has their foot on the accelerator it won’t.

Seriously?!? Tesla drivers learn to basically always have their foot on the accelerator, because the car slows quite aggressively with the accelerator all the way released.

IMO the one-foot model makes it quite hard to drive without lurching a bit and without unnecessary accidental light breaking while cruising. I often imagine that careful haptic feedback on the pedals could enable a much better one-pedal or blended braking experience.
Having worked in Linux for years, I'm sorry Windows is more productive for me.

MS office still dominates and our company and customers work in Excel. Without support for office Linux is harder than Windows for me.

With WSL2 almost everything I can do in Linux I can now do in Windows.

Don't get me wrong there are things that I hate about working in Windows. Especially Windows shared folders and mapped drives. Compared to Linux network shares it's horrible.

I get random slow downs when my computer is doing something in the background and explorer becomes non responsive.

Lying and gaslighting are two different things. Gaslighting involves lying but is also about invalidating the victim's memory and feelings in an attempt to control them in some way. Telling a partner they look good is not generally gaslighting.
The scare quote 10x engineer I'd consider a faux 10x engineer. I have seen them -- and working through their code is not pleasant. But I've also seen people who just operate as such a high level that their code is top notch from the get go, they think clearly about the problem and then have a clear solution. Those are the real 10x (or whatever multiplier you want to use).
Because they're not really useful. It's very difficult to keep chemical weapons contained so that they only damage your target and not your own soldiers or your allies or a bunch of civilians whose gruesome deaths will not play well in the media.

The student debt changes are substantial even if it's not free college. The more important part of the package is the changes to the terms of repayment:

From the press release[1]:

Make the student loan system more manageable for current and future borrowers by:

Cutting monthly payments in half for undergraduate loans. The Department of Education is proposing a new income-driven repayment plan that protects more low-income borrowers from making any payments and caps monthly payments for undergraduate loans at 5% of a borrower’s discretionary income—half of the rate that borrowers must pay now under most existing plans. This means that the average annual student loan payment will be lowered by more than $1,000 for both current and future borrowers.

Fixing the broken Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program by proposing a rule that borrowers who have worked at a nonprofit, in the military, or in federal, state, tribal, or local government, receive appropriate credit toward loan forgiveness. These improvements will build on temporary changes the Department of Education has already made to PSLF, under which more than 175,000 public servants have already had more than $10 billion in loan forgiveness approved.

This perhaps by far the bigger set of changes because it ensures the terms of remaining and future loans remain serviceable and proportionate to the actual earning potential of the recipient, which is half the problem with the system (at least if you simply must run it this way).

There's no societal difference between "people are intrinsically good" and "people are intrinsically selfish, but perform good acts for social credit". When the rubber meets the road, people are performing good acts.

When someone says "by definition, X means Y" they don't mean "X only means Y". Your comment thereby reads as an internal contradiction as you are admitting they are correct and yet also are adamant they are wrong.
> Many people have been skeptical of the idea of the 10X engineer. O

Nah, of course 10x engineers exist. A 10X engineer saw that hundreds of engineers were writing MPI code to process data and struggled with error handling and therefore came up with a map-reduce framework and its underlying infra. The same infra also helped bootstrap a whole industry. In this case, we are talking about 10^6X engineer. Another 10X engineer got fed up with MapReduce's abstraction and decided to borrow more concepts from functional programming and also invented a little data structure called RDD. This is a 10^5X engineer. A 10X engineer saw that his org build ad-hoc solutions to provision hardware and therefore decided to build an abstraction layer called EC2. Oops! That's another 10^6X engineer. A 10X engineer was not happy that writing GPGPU code was slow and error prone so he decided to worked out a library called CUDA. That's another 10^4X engineer, no? A 10X engineer was fed up with people implementing all kinds of broken consensus protocol and coded out a little practical implementation of Paxos called Chubby. All of a sudden the world of engineers woke up to the idea that consensus can be centrally managed and can be robust. That's a 10^4X engineer, right? A 10X engineer hates that his org write ad-hoc and crappy code on Zookeeper, so he packaged his wisdom into a little library called Curator with two clean concepts: framework and Recipes, and thousands of engineers' life just got immensely better. That's at least a 10^3X engineer, right? A 10X engineer was not sure why it takes an artist years to write quality compilers, be it frontend or backend, so he decided to come up with this little framework called llvm. That's a 10^5X engineer, right? Oh man, I think I can write a book about the examples...

This feels like a false dichotomy. The two calculations demonstrate essentially the same function, but one is performed using physical dynamics (the accumulation of something on one side of a boundary) implemented in an analog computer (overcoming an activation potential) and the other using an abstracted representation (program) implemented in a digital computer (transformations via mathematical analysis).
This is pretty much what it sounds like to a laymen like me. It's aggravatingly complex, with like, 18 points of user error failure points. And even if I quadruple checked, I'd wanna check 17 more times after that, and I'd still feel I messed up some crucial step at some point.

I know that some people say "virus" when they mean malware in general. However, a literal virus is a snippet of code that attaches itself to an executable. When the executable is run, the virus also runs. The virus then finds more executables and attaches itself to those too.

Literal viruses on diverse unices were indeed fairly rare in the past (and are still not common).

Traditionally on most linuxes (and bsds) you obtain trusted executables from a known good source (your distribution ) , whilst files from other sources are never run at all.

This means that Linux viruses find it hard to actually spread in the wild.

This particular strength doesn't mean other kinds of malware can't still be successful, of course. (Though naturally people try to harden Linux against many threats.)

Okay, I'll bite. "Pontual"? Are Google and I missing something? The top result is a Google Translate rendering of the Portuguese word "pontual" as "one-off" in English, which kind of fits your intent, I guess. However, various P->E dictionaries translate the word as punctual or sporadic. (Any Portuguese speakers who can shed some light for me on the difference between Google Translate and the dictionaries?) I didn't see any Google results (in the ones I scanned) indicating pontual had been appropriated into English. Am I just not hip to the latest slang?
Not necessarily, because it just confirms what everyone already suspects: we're in a recession. Also, AMD announced "just" 29% y/y growth with 42% gross margin. If anything, it's a bad sign for Intel as they probably considerably shrunk in Q3.
