People always use this term "critical thinking" on the internet and I am not sure anybody that uses it has a good definition of what it means or why it is something that can or must be taught in a college kind of environment.

At least personally, it's concerning to find out how many people think they are thinking critically all the time, but are not able to think critically about the definition of critical thinking.

It seems to me that there are several common ways people define the term:

1. To mean any innate interest or drive whatsoever for knowledge in any topic that is remotely academic or related to something academic. Typically in the context of something free-form and not guided by an instructor.

2. To mean the ability to re-evaluate beliefs shaped by the knowledge you have previously absorbed. This is the most common definition but also the most problematic since it rarely involves questioning your beliefs about critical thinking itself in the future. In essence you are replacing one source of truth with another source of truth making claims based on authority. This often leads to the typical "I learned about critical thinking, now I will reject anything my parents say as false and things my school says as true". I don't believe that is what is meant by this definition, but it is unfortunately very common for people to leave their "critical thinking class" with that kind of takeaway. They also might leave their critical thinking class with the tendency to come up with meta questions and meta narratives and then put them on the internet a bit like what I'm doing. I hate that as well since it's incredibly annoying.

3. To mean the ability to come up with solutions to a novel problem; to synthesize information from a variety of sources and come to a conclusion substantially different from each source individually.
Pretty much every single network provider offers free ingress or egress. That is the industry standard pricing model for paying for bandwidth.
"Free thinking and well rounded" aren't things that seem to correspond with many current U.S college environments though.

Colleges need to cost less. Much less.

And they need to return to free inquiry with more education, and less administration and propaganda and fake studies low effort departments.

Then what you say will be much more true and we will be in a better place.
That's like competing apples with oranges; some people like the former, some the latter, some both; if you prefer a Python like syntax an a much more complex language, then Nim is your choice.
CPI is also a broken measure due to its inability to measure wealth inequality (sampling median purchasers only) and discretionary hedonic adjustments. Real inflation has likely been ~33% higher than reported for decades (the Big Mac index is probably the true gold standard).
> this is the definition of short term profits

That's not remotely true. Stock prices are based on long term fiscal results. If shareholders get a whiff of a company sacrificing long term results for short term profits, the share price tanks.
Thanks for the reference! That's a great README with lots of information. Curiously enough, I had already starred your repo at some point.
Yes. The idea of PLoS One is that people can subject directly to it, but also it serves as a second chance for papers submitted to the higher tier PLoS journals -- an editor can reject the paper from those while still suggesting that the authors submit it to PLoS One (if the reason for rejection was that it wasn't that exciting but still solid research).

> They're not just messing around, they're learning and developing their skills.

Yes, but almost universally at the expense of the education they are allegedly there to get. Especially D1 programs. That is why many of us don’t think it makes sense to tie it to education. To play at the level they are required to, they have to sacrifice their education. I think we all know how there are “football player classes” and curriculums designed to minimize school/education time and maximize their time for football.

Hell how many times have we seen scandals involving completely fake courses for athletes? UNC got in trouble for this in 2015 or so after decades of doing it. They were hardly the first and we all know it hasn’t stopped.

They can’t have both unless they lower the quality of the education received (which is pretty silly, considering they are at institution primarily designed around education) or lower the standards of competition for sports, which is never going to happen as long as one team wants a competitive advantage.

> Those that can self-educate effectively are also ones that would thrive in a proper high education system.

That might depend on what you define as 'proper'. These environments are typically tailored toward a certain median individual and if you don't fit that median (above or below), you aren't going to have a good time. In my own experience, I can generally self-educate far better than what I've found in any traditional educational environment available* to me. I just can't deal with the snail's pace of concept introduction, the shallowness of concept exploration, etc. Everything moves so slow and I just tune it out.

Windows doesn't support multiple EFI System Partitions on one system¹, and it will nuke the default EFI boot image (bootx64.efi) on the ESP it uses whenever it updates or does startup repair. So if you do this make sure you have configured the Linux system to write EFI variables and know that if you ever clear them, you may lose the ability to boot Linux until you perform a repair.

Dual booting sucks. Don't do it, especially if you're new to Linux.

Nobody has a single tab of LSD and a psychotic break, it's very very mild. People just imagine things because it's been vilified for decades. A lot of people get blackout drunk several times a week for years/decades, a bit of weed or LSD won't kill them or do any more harm than alcohol.

LSD is much less addictive and less dangerous than any other common drugs

And that's a fine enough reason. Sometimes learning assembly leads people to learn about electrical engineering concepts, and boolean algebra.

The idea gets more interesting depending on your idea of success. If success just means passing the course, you definitely don't need spaced repetition (but then again, you can also maybe get by via cramming two or three days before each test and rushing assignments, though this wouldn't be a good experience).

If you define success as doing very well in the course (and remembering what you learn in the long-term), the idea gets more interesting because more people interested in these outcomes use flashcard systems. Anki is especially popular among medical students, so it's a tempting idea to consider that applying spaced repetition to subjects like mathematics or physics can also be useful.

To some people studying math or physics, the software can potentially be a nice aide, but in my individual experience, I understood and remembered concepts better by spending more time practicing problems and doing sample tests, versus spending more time using spaced repetition software.
They froze their funds. Negligence from local and provincial authorities led to it arguably expanding far beyond just a protest and so more drastic action was taken.

The root problem here is that these databases exist in the first place. Even if the CDC were prohibited from buying them directly, they would just use commercial intermediaries to analyze and inform policy. The only way to start getting mass surveillance under control is for the US to get some privacy laws that have teeth, like the EU's GDPR. Surveillance companies like "Safegraph" and "Cuebiq" shouldn't even exist.

This seems really funny to me. There’s been a huge push by elites and right-leaning politicians in particular to downplay college education and to trot out blue-collar workers, to convince people not to go to college. Joe the Plumber, for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_the_Plumber

Conservatives and businesses want more people to take low-paying jobs, and having the masses be educated threatens their ability to pay minimum wage. The St. Louis Fed published statistics [1] demonstrating that people with 4-year degrees earn an average of twice what people who don’t go to college earn. That is a truly massive discrepancy, and completely surprised me when I read it. I would have assumed that degrees were maybe a 10% or 15% advantage statistically. That it’s double is astounding, and it really very much undermines the notion that somehow people are getting tricked into going to college.

[1] https://files.stlouisfed.org/files/htdocs/publications/revie...

(Note the title argues that college isn’t worth it. Read the statistics, they tell a completely different story. The headline is based on the idea that total savings at retirement came down somewhat for college educated people, and it completely neglects the fact that these savings are 2x larger than non-degree holders, and come after a lifetime of 2x higher salary.)
Yes. Weighs a lot, but it'll never crack like a stone will.

What is the purchasing power parity of $4300 in India vs the US?

https://data.oecd.org/conversion/purchasing-power-parities-p...

Let's preface this by stating that I'm looking at things from outside the US, but nonetheless mildly affected by SVB's collapse.

There is already talk about rules being changed so that in case of an implosion like SVB, the executives' bonuses could be clawed back over a span of several years. That would be a damn good start, because it would put the C-suite personally on the hook for setting up these cock-ups. It won't be enough.

I hope, and would expect, that FDIC fee structure will also change. The best way to incentivise banks to spread their exposure risks across industry sectors will likely be to charge aggressively progressive fees for increased sector risk. Spread your risk across multiple, mostly uncorrelated sectors? Pay reasonable fees. Concentrate on just one or two? Get charged through the nose, to the point of stunting your profit margins.

But what are those results? Besides Yoneda, are there insightful, surprising, delightful results? I personally gave up on my CT study after seeing that it was just chapter after chapter of definitions and nothing else.

I always compare it to abstract algebra. AA can be studied without any connection whatsoever to the physical world or even to numbers -- as "abstract" as math can get. And yet from the first chapter you are hit with surprising theorems, and they continue non-stop, challenging your brain at every turn. I fail to see this in CT.

There's a large caveat towards the end of the article:

“People get more specific skills in apprenticeship programs than they do in college and while that helps them enter the labor market with greater ease at the beginning of their careers, later in life their skills depreciate”

“So at age 45 or 50 or 55, these people are less likely to stay in the labor market because their skills are less valuable.”

By contrast, a college degree offers a broader, general education, which “makes people more adaptable and able to learn new skills that show up later when the economy changes,” he said.

Ah yes. "Just".

And these people accuse other languages of having complex syntaxes or complexities in general.

> what do you think one cannot do with the Oberon approach

I think it's obvious what I wrote. You can't wrap blocks of code, to do that you need to extract it into a proc that among other things (like actual params passed to it needs an additional parameter) needs an awkward `out` parameter etc.

I know the Pascal philosophy: create awkward verbose languages with useless constraints while claiming it's for the sake of simplicity.

1. There's nothing wrong with complexity

2. There a multiple languages that don't have Pascal/Oberon's constraints, decisions, and awkward workarounds which are neither Java nor C++

I'm wondering how many parents are reading this in the WSJ, and thinking something like: "That's great that those people are looking at paths other than college. Of course, my kids are going to college, for the college lifestyle experience, the networking, the pedigree, and the opportunities that will open up to them, in their rightful class."
You just end up kicking the can around the same problem. While college education being dumbed down is a typical topic, the exact same is earlier education - and also for the exact same reason. Here [1] is an 8th grade exam from 1912. Good luck!

The issue isn't some failure of education, but the fact that people are different and have different skill sets. And as education came to be expected to be something everybody goes through and in a roughly similar fashion, the inevitable decline to the lowest common denominator was inevitable.
