This said nothing about the number of seats in private schools versus public ones. If there are very few then we should expect private costs to increase dramatically as public costs increase. Not every student gets public loans, some students come from wealthy families that have other means of financing. If public is $100k, then these families would still likely choose the $120k private school for better outcomes. There is no reason for private to stay cheap.

Three emails are not "best efforts". 4.5 months notice is not "best effort".

My opinion on best effort: I founded, ran, and sold a SaaS company used by some of the most well known companies in the world. Our "best effort" was a minimum of 12 months notice, with a six month grace period afterwards. Emails weekly. Phone calls at least once a month. Reach out to customer leadership if no response. Then scream test as others suggested.
how is it misleading? most undergrads are considered dependent, which means they can only borrow $31k in total over 4 years. beyond that they would need to tap alternative sources.
More likely cause is the mentality that says universities are a for profit institutions That should squeeze as much as possible.
Instead of "socialist" subsudised school, you give loans...
Mostly, they're used interchangeably by native speakers.

I recommend searching the original text to see how they're used in context.

important - seems to be used when comparing things: more important or less important

vital and crucial - used in the text, both of them seeming to indicate the highest priority
Ghost in the Shell is so ahead of its time we will be catching up for many decades.
>We have no idea when that will happen

Why do you think this? We know how the sun works, how much nuclear fuel it has, and what life stages a star goes through as it uses up fuel, and how that life cycle changes based on size. We know the sun will stop shining, depending on your definition of that, in about 10 billion years. We know these things from studying THOUSANDS of other suns in various parts of their life cycle. We can make predictions on stars we observe, and watch them come true, which is the only valid judgement of a theory or model.

Unless the cloud provider can provide proof that the person received and read such a notice, then they can still be sued for actual damages... and I'd be surprised if that doesn't happen in this case.

The fact is, there are many options from a cooldown, scream test, automated backup for migration/recovery... this organization did none of those things and absolutely deserves to lose massively as a result. This is a DATABASE as a Service... RETENTION should be one of the highest priorities.

For that matter, it would have been better if they auto-migrated in an OFF status, or otherwise backed up... just hitting the DELETE ALL DATA button is wrong. Several of the posters in the thread indicate they received no such emails.
This is something that always bothers me. People have completely lost sight of the forest for the trees.

The entire point of an education is to make you a good worker/citizen. That's it. People completely lose sight of this and think that the point of an education is to get a degree.

Therefore we end up with legions of kids trying to "get a degree" as opposed to "become a good worker/citizen".
Right, let the market decide interest rate charged for them based on risk of default. this will also quickly filter out pointless degrees without much carrier prospect because interest rate would be high. right now basically govt has created a fully protected predatory loan that can follow you to your grave. IDK why is this so hard to understand.
Remove loans and make colleges and public universities free again. It worked before and worked quite well. All comes back to the failings of Reagan once again.
The article discusses this question actually, about the apparent incompatibility between classical and quantum systems. Basically, there's a fundamental inconsistency where you can detect a particle's position gravitationally as it passes through a slit in the double slit experiment, which destroys the quantum properties of "passing through both slits" that leads to interference patterns.
Aren’t they government issued loans? That’s how it worked over here

> which are just passing you freely available NWS data

The Android weather widget gives more localized forecast data than the NWS web site which pretty much always locks you on to the local airport. Proximity to a great lake means that my local weather can be significantly different than the airport even though it's relatively near by. It all obviously comes from the NWS but they don't provide easy access to everything.
> It also struck me as a red flag that Canonical is 100% BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), and they do not provide a work computer. You can apply for a _loan_ to buy a computer for work, but they will not pay for one. If a company is too cheap to provide a computer at a job where you work remotely and exclusively on a computer, I don't want to be a part of that company.

So just add the cost of acquiring employer-specific hardware to the compensation package during salary negotiations, is it really a big deal? Don't you generally have your own hardware preferences anyways?

The problem would be if they insist on what software you run on that machine and if they put crap like spyware/backdoors on your device.

If it's just a "we don't care what you run, just be productive and do good work" kind of attitude, BYOD could totally be ideal.

Nothing is more annoying than having an employer shove something like an imac down your throat with a "use this backdoored garbage or quit" mentality.

Having said all that though, their interview process sounds more like a hazing ritual designed to filter out people who won't tolerate abuse. It's deterred me from ever pursuing a role there, despite probably being a decent fit for the work.
The video looks impressive, well done. Why didn't you build it on top of langchain or other similar frameworks?
You will have more than two options so there is no need to choose either of those two.
yeah, and we're talking about federal loans here.

the government is not on the hook if a student defaults on a private loan. the critique was that tax payers were somehow on the hook for most undergraduate costs when $31k over 4 years barely pays for rent at this point.
The danger of this is obvious.

Everyone is there for a different minority used feature. By caring only about the feature used by the majority, you are actually satisfying no one.

That’s why product managers use persona on top of metrics. Nice products have niche features and some kind of personality. You don’t want to overfocus on them but stripping them all is a losing move.
> There is one notable exception to programs I am not managing with home-manager, and that's SSH. Although it's pretty easy to use home-manager to manage SSH configurations, I'd prefer the security-through-obscurity of people not knowing my SSH aliases (since, y'know, I'm making my nix configuration public).

Tip I use for this:

End your ~/.ssh/config with Include ~/.ssh/config.local . Write ~/.ssh/config with whatever you're happy being public. Write your aliases into ~/.ssh/config.local. SSH will just ignore it if it's missing.

In the same time period, stay public university systems had their state funding also decimated. Federally sourced loans were favored over expanding grant programs.

The thought that public universities should “run like private businesses” is a disease of neoliberalism. They largely succeeded in running like businesses, but it’s all the wrong metrics. public goods should not be profit centers for state or federal government budgets.
Exactly the opposite. In 2023, a degree is a prerequisite (or effectively so) to a lot of jobs. This was less true in 1983 than it is now.

What I miss about the old internet is that it wasn't primarily commercial. Now that it's mostly commercial in nature, it has become a much less useful and interesting space.

Also, it's become uglier. "Uglier" in that antiseptic, overly clean sense that you see in physical commercial spaces like shopping malls.

There is no limit for dependent students of federal support through loans: the limits you cite are the limits for loans to the student for students whose parents are able to get PLUS loans.

But PLUS loans themselves have no cap, so the amount of potential federal impact on potential costs for this population—which, as you note, is most undergraduate students—is infinite, not $31K over four years.
Yeah, that's an idea. Purdue used to have that, but at some point they stopped https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2022/06/23/purdue-pauses...

Ultimately, I think it's a market non-optimal way if you're the university since student loans allow you to decouple pricing entirely and completely derisk the student.
Just don't use home-manager and you'll be fine. I've been using NixOS for 5 years and still haven't gotten around to trying home-manager.
It's not okay for things to be impossible to get after it expires from copyright. That was the entire deal that was struck to allow copyright to exist. The entire bargain is that the creator gets an exclusive protection in exchange for the work entering the public domain.

If the work doesn't enter the public domain, then it shouldn't have received a copyright protection.

> Because digital books are horrible.

Completely subjective.

> A have a self of work-related books full of reference images (military equipment). I budget about 100/month for book purchases as many of them are 200+ each. There is no plausible replacement.

Er yes there is. A large tablet. Which would allow you to zoom in on those images in high resolution if the book was formatted properly by the publisher. Connect some AR glasses and now you've got a massive book you can read comfortably anywhere without strain.

> A digital file is no replacement for a reference copy on a shelf.

It absolutely is, particularly if your book is primarily text and you want to search that text on a regular basis. Or if you're out in the field and you don't have space to carry an entire library of maintenance books with you. Which might actually be quite a common scenario in the military. Unless you know the book back to front (and even then it's debatable) searching via a computer is going to be faster than flipping through pages manually.

The digital file will not decay (unless the underlying hard drive decays) and it can be available, theoretically, forever. It can be shipped around the globe in the blink of an eye, and doesn't require anywhere near the same carbon footprint to do so. It can be easily replicated and the potential market is anyone, anywhere, on the entire planet rather than anyone with access to a book store or living in a location where a bookstore will ship to.

No-one is trying to take your paper books away. But presumably a digital file of that book was sent to the printers. So why is that digital file not readily available for consumers to purchase to consume in the manner that best suits them?
This is wrong. You’re mixing up subsidized loans with the ability to get loans.

People can get unsubsidized loans that still come with the same constraints around inability to discharge in bankruptcy for vastly more money.

It’s essentially all unsecured student loans (i.e. effectively the entire student loan market) that have this risk free model for lenders.

It would all be completely toxic trash otherwise that no lender would issue. A student with no assets, no income, and no credit history to preserve has no downside to just declare bankruptcy after school and get $200k or whatever essentially for free.
Those are the private loans not backed by the government. The government ones are basically at the prime rate or less to fund the administration of the program.

VMs are nice when you can't fill a machine with a single task (plus whatever redundancy). Once you get to a single machine, you want to scale up that one machine; you can go a long way where scaling up is cheaper than scaling out. But at some point, scaling out gets cheaper.

I'm not sure where the check points are now, but typical points where cost jumps are desktop -> server socket, single socket -> two sockets, two sockets -> four sockets, four -> eight sockets. AFAIK, AMD EPYC isn't offered at more than two sockets, and going to four sockets used to be possible off the shelf but very expensive, and eight sockets was very expensive if off the shelf or very expensive because custom engineering. Sometimes ram costs go way up for the highest density too.
Govt can totally do that. but you are right in that only congress can do that via legislation. every policy that effects poor has racially disparate impact so that argument can rally be applied anywhere.

I’m surprised to not see an Office Space reference mentioned yet.
Surprised that nobody here mentioned community colleges yet. Not a silver bullet, but the total cost of someone commuting to a community college from home is an order of magnitude cheaper than going to college. In many cases, CCs have explicit transfer programs, and the chances of transferring to a decent university after year two are pretty high.
I agree that NixOS (and Nix) is difficult to learn and the documentation is generally poor, which I realise is what you’re getting at in your comment,

But I do think we should keep in mind what an incredible project NixOS is. NixOS isn’t just some other Linux distro, repeating pretty much what every distro has done for 40 years. It’s a complete rethink of how a Linux distribution and package manager should work, from first principles, in a way that I don’t think has ever been done before. That’s an incredibly bold thing to do. That alone, as a research project, would be an impressive achievement. But it hasn’t just ended up as some researcher’s PhD thesis. It works in the real world, and it’s built a large community despite its learning curve.

So despite the terrible docs and UX, I have trouble agreeing that it “sucks”!
Can confirm. Currently attending a mid-tier public state school, and I'm looking at ~1200/mo (2000/mo, including housing - living w/ 3 roommates) out of pocket (since I'm trying to avoid taking out loans as much as possible). I've worked up to 2 jobs at the same time just to keep making ends meet. It's really rough out there, and my degree program doesn't even begin to cover fundamental CS concepts like P/NP-completeness, DFAs, etc. Waste of money IMHO.
Ah, free in the sense that the University got its money and can now ignore any consequences?

It is NOT free to the student who is definitely affected. They are in debt and now crippled.
But the university got it's money.

If you want to blame the government. Why is it the governments fault that Universities are now behaving like scammers and charging more for less and leaving the 'customer' stuck.

Lets say I go to a used car salesman, and they want to cheat me.

Lets say (before 1983) I would pay 2000$ for the car, but I'm scammed and out 2000$. I lost 2000$

Lets say figuratively now it is (2020), and I can't afford the car, so a rich uncle co-signs, and give me 30,000$.

I still get cheated, but now I'm out more money, AND now I'm in debt to my uncle (who lets say wants some 'payment' I feel uncomfortable performing).

The used car salesman is a cheat either way, for lesser money or more money, and either way they got my money.

And I'm in debt and blowing my uncle until it is paid off.

In the end, I (the student) am stuck. Is it my uncles fault? Is it the crooked salesman? Maybe my uncle didn't know the salesman was a cheat either (but like a bank, does want something in return)? Should I know the salesman was a cheat? Maybe I'm young and just starting out in life and not sure about the warning signs? Should we allow the young and in-experienced to be exploited?
Totally agree that it is a social problem as much as a technical problem. This is one reason why I had the thought here of FM tools starting to own some "feature management" jobs that aren't typically placed under the devops umbrella, and may be more of interest to product or marketing stakeholders. Perhaps that would do something to help with the issue of getting buy-in to do the maintenance.
I'm interested in numbers backing up that claim? But, even with that, student debt is almost certainly including PLUS loans which, "The maximum PLUS loan amount you can receive is the cost of attendance (determined by the school) minus any other financial aid received." So... yeah, very misleading read of that page.
