It's an important difference. The White House basically pulled this broad student forgiveness policy out of their butts. They didn't have Congressional approval to do so, and were rightfully checked.

>We hold today that the Act allows the Secretary to ‘waive or modify’ existing statutory or regulatory provisions applicable to financial assistance programs under the Education Act, not to rewrite that statute from the ground up.

The last product launch Apple did that truly would have encouraged a reaction like that would maybe be the M1 macs. Otherwise the iPhone and most of their other products change too little year over year for that to happen
The last time I recall a company doing the 'we will follow our GPL obligations and give you - specifically you, the recipients of the binaries from us - the source but if you exercise your right to redistribute don't expect to be able to renew your contract' thing I believe the eventual conclusion amongst the people who seriously knew what they were talking about* was 'this is obnoxious but legal.'

Agreed that education costs should be driven down, but the strain on borrowers is very real. It's bothersome that the government prohibits relief in the form of bankruptcy.

It's easy to be unsympathetic when something doesn't impact you personally. I'm not impacted by student loans, but I've heard enough stories from close friends to give me pause.

I am very empathetic to their plight and worry we have knee capped a sizeable portion of a generation, which will impact the economy and society as well.
I got voted down, perhaps someone paid for that downvote? ;-)

What's expensive is locking up citizens' purchasing power so that they are beholden to these institutions, instead of giving them the option to put money into their community, particularly their fellow citizens' pockets, by shopping and eating.
Twitter seems to have made an exception for archiving via the Internet Archive, so you can view tweets and profiles via https://web.archive.org/save if needed.

They've not done the same for other archive sites like https://archive.ph and https://ghostarchive.org though. Perhaps because those sites don't make their archiving HTTP requests with any header that identifies them differently from a common browser. Whereas the Internet Archive adds

Adblocker use is not responsible for Google's need to constantly impress its shareholders every quarter.

Don't forget YouTube used to let you skip all ads, it wasn't even that long ago.

None of this is the result of blockers. It's the result of Alphabet needing to earn more money and becoming increasingly desperate to snatch up every little bit left on the table.

On the plus side, this is only making it easier to compete with them. They're increasingly turning YouTube into what broadcast television has become; a raging dumpster fire of advertising and propaganda.
Helping the people who are hurting is profoundly unfair to the people who spent within their means. I know plenty of people who didn't go to a fancy college because they couldn't afford them. Mercy to the free spending debtors is also an insult to the careful ones who kept within their budget.
Yeah the other fun move is: AI will be powerful and unbridled from human control enough to achieve great outcomes that humans cannot conceive of. But in the negative case: AI will not be operating outside of human control, it will not be handed immense resources to pursue goals (verifiably false given the capital and compute investment already backing AI).
Except it was rejected, so it didn't fix anything for anyone. It just wasted a bunch of time (it was doomed to fail from the start) and tricked people into thinking something was being done.

Aka, politics as usual.
> Paper really can't be used for anything with liquids unless it's lined with plastic or a plastic-equivalent

Beeswax probably melts too easily to be used for hot liquids but I bet it would do the trick with "moist" things if not full-on liquids.

Bonus, greater demand for beeswax = cheaper honey and more bees around! :)
My strong impression at the time was that the primary impetus for establishing Atom was that Dave Winer was abrasive and opinionated, and some people just didn't like him very much.

> Schumpeter took the view that dynamic capitalism was executed to fail because the very efficiency of capitalist enterprise would lead to monopolistic structures and the disappearance of the entrepreneur

Which seems to be more or less spot on, except that 'the entrepreneur' also includes the lucky few that end up with the new monopolies.
I block ads by default and turn it on for the sites that I want to support. Main reason for blocking by default is privacy. I don't want super targeted ad. If I'm on a particular site consuming particular content, that should be sufficient context for choosing what ad to show me. Do not follow me around all over the internet trying to sell me on stuff.
Presently many colleges and universities have enough DEI commissars on payroll for their cost to match ~1000 students' tuition. You could easily sack the enforcers of political orthodoxy and extend scholarships to people.
Kagan's dissent regarding the standing of Missouri was fantastic. I am not a lawyer, but she seemed to clearly cut through every argument for hearing the case offered by the majority. MOHELA is not financially tied to Missouri; states cannot sue on behalf of their citizens; the SC of MO ruled against Missouri's obligations to a very similar entity (MOHEFA) when MO was sued over those obligations (and Missouri, presumably since it was the defendant, repudiated such ties in that case!).

Her case on the merits was... less convincing. I'm not convinced she's wrong, but I'm not convinced she's right. I have more thoughts, but they're long, and would distract from what I made this comment for. Nonetheless, having shown her case on standing, we do not need the merits.

What is surprising (and disappointing) is that SCOTUS here seemed to have abandoned its usual (good) policy of steadfastly restricting what it has the responsibility to rule on.
I'm not sure how variable this is, but I've definitely experienced unwatchable levels of ads (mostly on mobile/Android). Having an ad before you even know if the content has interest is already a challenge (eg a how to video), and most that I see are in the 5-15sec range before watching and every 5-10min after that.

However, I have had a dual 30sec ad before starting a video that repeated every 2min on something I actually wanted to watch, but quickly stopped, because it was "unwatchable". I consider that level to be at about 10% of watch time (regular TV is about 25% 8/30 min in larger blocks).
For the most part I found people didn’t come to Reed for the brand, you went for the academics (and weirdness) and it showed.
I've shown you that your own source is highlighting these problems, but you chose to deliberately ignore them. It's really hard to continue this conversation assuming you are replying in good faith, so I'm not going to.
Nobody seemed to have an issue with giving loan forgiveness to businesses. Why do we allow businesses to socialize their losses and privatize their profits? Nobody batted an eye when the last administration created an additional 3T in deficit.

Investing in Americans education is single handedly the best investment America can make as a country. I rather see bad business models fail and watch educated Americans fill in the gaps.
iShacked. The author might get sued by Apple.
I block ads because they're psychological warfare that corporations wage against me. I don't care how unobtrusive the ads are. I don't care if the ads don't track me. I grew up changing the channel on TV when ads came on, and ripping adverts out of magazines before sitting down to read them. I vote for billboard bans whenever I can. I have zero tolerance for ads of any sort.

Advertisers have no morals, they're completely depraved. They'll eagerly exploit a teenager's self-conscious body issues to sell useless beauty products. They sell sugar water to fat people and at every turn promote the rampant consumerist culture that is destroying our planet. They're lower than pond scum and I never want to see a single ad from them ever.
The only reason US hasn't ended this earlier is because it's in their interest to drag this out

You can have fun believing made-up stuff if you want.

Meanwhile, there are far-more obvious and pragmatic factors involved. These systems need to be re-engineered somewhat, and tracking systems put in place to ensure the Ukrainians don't do what they're not supposed to do.

And other reasons. But again, you seem to have made up your mind about what you want to believe.
PPP went through Congress, the Senate, and the President - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paycheck_Protection_Program#Le...

The government wasn't allowing certain businesses to operate and curtailed their operation. PPP was a response to that.

Nobody is forcing you to take on massive student loan debts.
Lack of diversity would damage their brand, so how can they legally promote diversity? Well they could promote poor students- affirmative action for lower classes.

I think allowing legacy while also promoting lower class students is OK. The lower class students benefit from the money of legacy student parents as well as the contact with the well connected legacy students themselves.

I could imagine that next there would be a supreme court case against this. A conservative court might then ban consideration of class. But then we are left with a Harvard that really is a just a club for rich kids. Smart kids who are not rich could try to fight against legacy promotion, but I doubt a conservative court would do anything about it.
> Atom vs RSS is a great example of how technical correctness is trumped by social factors

I don't follow. Out there in the world, RSS feeds provide their feeds in Atom format. The technical format is called "Atom" and the functionality that the Atom format implements is called "RSS".

In what sense did technically-correct Atom get trumped by anything? This is like complaining that social factors caused "the SAT" to get trumped by "standardized testing".

That's it, good code does not make a successful game.
You pay for the service that they offer now. If they add ads later on you can quit. Not paying now because of something they could do in the future doesn’t make any sense.
> No single change is going to produce AGI. We're going to have a lot of forewarning, and it'll be obvious we're opening Pandora's box.

AutoGPT is an interesting example where an AI system, just by self prompting, led to an order of magnitude increase in (change/productivity/activity), extremely rapidly.
Ad networks work on a bid system. If the impressions/clicks were worth more, bidding would be more competitive and prices would already be higher.
That looks like the thing. I would love to have it tested independently if I'm going to keep it in my mouth every night for the rest of my life. (And I'm now afraid not to).
They have backups...most companies do. That is why these ransomware groups have turned to extortion instead...don't pay and we expose your sensitive info to the world. No amount of good backup policies can block a group from releasing this info.
Pydantic V2 Is Here
Back when I still watched cable which was ~14 years ago at my parents' house, I used a TiVo to do so partially because it allowed me to skip ads (the other reason being so I could catch late night programs the next day).

After moving out I never subscribed to cable or satellite and don't watch terrestrial broadcasts either, partially because of the advertising. If I were to subscribe now it'd probably be contingent on my ability to use a modern TiVo-like DVR for the same reasons.
Pragmatism, I suppose. The country does well enough economically for people to accept it, not to mention they're used to it all already.
VSCode isn't an IDE, really, so there is a bit of apples and oranges here. But that said...

I meant that comparing VSCode to the likes of JetBrains products and Eclipse isn't meaningful because JetBrains and Eclipse are fairly terrible in terms of performance and system load.

Comparing to native programs is more appropriate. Visual Studio is a native program, true, but I think it's a terrible one.

All that said, the IDE product space has become awful overall, and I struggle to find a modern good one. So, yeah...
They do when it leaves the law enforcement world and goes to shadowy government agencies as in Colonial pipeline that have a lot more resources and don't have to play by many rules when dealing with hostile foreign based attacks. If LockBit suddenly crippled the US electric grid or stock market it would be the end of them. So these groups try to extract as much money as they can without getting that heat.
No. The matrix bears the transverse forces in a composite. The epoxy is there to prevent the fibers from bending or buckling. The carbon holds the compression.
> I don't think it's a fallacy to conclude generally that consuming plants which coevolved with humans is safer than consuming chemicals which are completely exogenous to any stage of the human body's development.

An optimal organism doesn't imply an optimal environment.

fitness(org, food) = -2 org^2 + org * food + 7

If evolution had optimized fitness by adjusting "org" while keeping "food" constant, that wouldn't imply holding "org" constant and changing "food" wouldn't yield improvement.

Evolution doesn't optimize the environment for the organism. Evolution performs stochastic gradient descent, improving the organism for the environment, which can easily get stuck at global optima. More importantly, it improves the organism for the environment/food/etc. The idea that the food is optimal for the organism gets the improvement mechanism backward.
The problem is that if you paid for college by your parents not fixing the leaky roof, living in a bad neighborhood, and choosing a worse college that didn't cost so much, you wouldn't get a refund the same way that someone who paid for it by a loan did. If you suffer now, tough luck; if you delay the suffering, you may get bailed out.

The supreme court has been in the news a lot lately, and every time I see it I think about Wickard v Filburn where the courts decided that someone growing their own food on their own land to feed to their own farm animals was participating in "interstate commerce". Amongst all the rulings and changes to longstanding rights, this ruling still stands: if you grow a plant inside your house for your own use, you're participating in "interstate commerce" and can thus be regulated federal government.

(I realize the supreme court is only ruling on the cases that come before them, so this is a criticism of the entire legal system rather than just the supreme court.)

What do you mean "with little improvement?"

You don't think we've developed more addictive foods, games, technologies, and drugs in the last few thousand years?
Alternative take, Google introduced the "customer as the product model", at least they did that at scale. Then honestly, we became dependent on their services as the web became Google, so I don't think it' totally fair to take that view.
I have a friend who lives in an older suburban neighborhood next to a McMansion development and she says basically the only people you ever see outside are the landscapers cutting the lawn etc. So, if you want a large house in a high cost of living area, there's a certain practicality in not paying for a couple acres of land just to be a bit better screened from your neighbors. The style is sort of an aesthetic disaster but it mostly doesn't affect the residents much.

That first paragraph was so good... I can't believe it was followed by the second one.

Anyway, about the first, there are people studying a possible link between plastics contamination and the testosterone trend. AFAIK, nobody has got anything yet. And given that there are other very likely culprits, I do think stating the link with plastics is way too premature.
I'd argue that Vice News's website-news articles partially filled the void of NG, with their travel adventure content. It was basically the web-form of a magazine.
Would this proposal also have included tuition free education or would future generations still accumulate debt for overpriced education?
Certainly not until I see a business plan that includes NFT and LLM.

Minecraft's source has been decompiled multiple times, and its base modeling is IIRC pretty well understood, also from a server-side point of view. It doesn't seem to be particularly advanced, at least the traditional Java version anyway. Can't speak for the Bedrock edition, that's a C++ optimized version for mobile and consoles.
Yep - it's tricky, but not full on sales. Just a definitions thing - I'm not in sales either.

> If, instead of a SRPM, you have some small, declarative text file which gives upstream URLs, SHA256 digests and build config steps

That plus a stack of patches is what FreeBSD ports and other ports-like systems use instead.

(I'm afraid "ports-like" is intentionally vague because accurately enumerating the members of that category would involve substantial effort and I'd probably still get it wrong)
This is huge issue. Many people (like myself) left college during covid and haven't budgeted at all for the monthly payments after entering the workforce. There's going to thousands of deferments. It honestly feels like a debt trap of sorts.
Enshittification, Immiseration, Impoverishment

The words likely to sum up this decade.
That’s patently untrue. We saved tens of thousands of dollars in the interest pause alone.
They are not comparable.

PPP loans came about because the government interfered with the economy, forcing businesses to close at gun point in many states.

In addition, the PPP loans are written into law by Congress. Congress controls money, not the executive branch.

I don't recall being compelled at gunpoint to get a degree. It was a voluntary decision.
Our employees have to go on base now and then, so being able to pass a clearance check is part of getting the job. Gates probably goes into secure areas, so the same probably applies.
Yes. Which is why these places are never serious about removing legacy students. The networks are what you're buying into at these places--if you get anything more than an acceptable education that lets you be a non-embarrassment to the network and the school, thats just a happy coincidence.
Does it matter?

Like everything else this guy has put out in regard to this conflict -- it's just pure mindfuck, right from the first paragraph.

That said - it's very adroitly written and well-organized mindfuck, and it's very easy to skim the points it's trying to make, and really - you'd be doing yourself a disservice by letting yourself become too reliable on GPT.

Or even worse -- on having other people run it through GPT for you.
I'm really puzzled with the ad business model. I always wonder if those silly mobile game ads can get really bring the mobile game developer additional revenue? And even for other ads that look less stupid comparing with those mobile games, I think I had never been attracted to purchase something due to ads, nor I would prefer them when I actually need to buy something (note that I keep my spending minimal, so I am probably not their targets anyway...)
I chose to become a self-taught developer, vs going to school, to avoid having student loans plague me. I weighed the options and didn't like the math.

The two paths were hard forks. It was a big decision.

I'm still "paying" the price in the form of reduced wages, surely.

Student loans weren't a great option, so I didn't take them. Why does everyone else take them, and then pass the blame and responsibility to the government?
The enabling law for this policy was the 2003 HERO's Act, which has been used prior to Biden's student loan forgiveness plan to modify loan conditions.

So this policy was approved by Congress.
Sometimes band-aid solutions mess up the incentives to fix underlying problems. Personally, I think this is one of those times. It's like the debt ceiling thing; once you set the precedent that a problem can be "solved" by kicking it down the road until after the next election, there is essentially no incentive for anybody to ever fix it for real.

This is not a problem that is going to be solved by injecting more unaccountable government cash into the system. Students would just take on more debt, expecting more forgiveness, and schools would thus simply continue raising prices. Why would anybody do anything differently?
More often than not, politics is about optics, not solutions. This was doomed to fail from the beginning and I bet they knew it. Status quo continues, crisis remains, talking points for the next election cycle established. Sorry guys, we couldn't get it through this time, but next time, trust us, we'll succeed.
