>>> Why would people make an investment with insufficient ROI (Return on Investment)?

>> Insufficient information.

>> College Scorecard [1] is a database with a web interface for finding and comparing schools according to a number of objective criteria. CollegeScorecard launched in 2015. It lists "Average Annual Cost", "Graduation Rate", and "Salary After Attending" on the search results pages. When you review a detail page for an institution, there are many additional statistics; things like: "Typical Total Debt After Graduation" and "Typical Monthly Loan Payment"

Which curricular assignments have actual career ROI for cash-strapped students?
Per recent episode of Bill Maher, Stanford university has over 10000 administrators. Why is higher education so expensive in the US… bloated bureaucracy and fancy buildings which would not happen if the federal government was backing student loans.
My state school is already doing it (though it is in addition to the federal program, not in lieu of it). The loans are serviced by a company, but the actual lender is the state as far as I can tell:

> UNC Loans are based on financial need and administered by the University. If you complete a FAFSA and are found eligible, a UNC Loan may be offered as part of your overall financial aid package.

> Interest rates are fixed at 5%, and interest is deferred as long as you are enrolled at least half-time. UNC Loans are repaid to ECSI, the loan servicer.
I guess its as simple as: if the university already has massive amounts of money, why give them more when schools who dont have that money need it?
Unless your product depends on eyeballs, SEO is just another vanity metric.
> It would ban students who attend Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or any of the roughly 50 other wealthy, private colleges subject to a tax on their endowment from taking out federal student loans.

> America’s reliance on student loans is imperfect, but this move would hurt students far more than the colleges they attend.

Reaction: Yeah - from the PoV of folks who've drunk too much of the "We are the uppermost crust of the New Meritocracy, born to lord over lesser humans..." Kool-Aid that many elite colleges serve up, this sounds pretty bad.

But between the staggering administrative bloat of those institutions, the sort of culture wars Bizarro-world they seem determined to keep pushing into, and other major problems - maybe it would be better if the brighter & harder-working young people were steered away from them? Back about 1900, Americans were obsessed with the high status and long history of British nobility, and quite a few of America's richest families forced their daughters to marry British nobles - with huge dowries - in crass "pay for social status" trades. A few decades later, when the decline & fall of the British noble class was d*mned obvious, that fad faded.

If all your friends aren't making "take mommy's private jet, or daddy's?" decisions as they head to Harvard, this might be a good time to look further ahead, and make a long-term better decision.
A pair of bookshelf speakers and a cheap class d amplifier would make for a much nicer listening experience.
I have it and it was a really enjoyable read! Gave me some good ideas for a game I was working on.
> They also usually prevent one from applying AP credits or IB credits to college courses

Maybe this was your experience, but I have not ever heard of this, so ‘usually’ may not be the correct descriptor.
Had no idea it was OSS! Regardless, I have 0 regrets paying for the game, absolutely amazing one.
A university degree, for many jobs, is a box tick.

A university for many careers, is a signal.

A trade school is for jobs.

Skills are different from knowledge.

Etc.
This is going to be a huge problem for society fairly soon and it's not something you can turn around in an instant.
The wealthiest schools would absolutely love this.

There’s absolutely no pressure anymore on them to accept anyone but the wealthiest candidates anymore from across the world.

Not only will they make more money the exclusivity means they will be more desirable as well.

What a backwards idea from both the right and left perspective.
Of course if’s best to avoid dangerous conditions, but you must realize that weather changes fast and a clear road can become very low visibility in the matter of minutes. There are also urgent and emergency situations where it’s rational to take the weather risk and drive much more cautiously than the alternative. Finally the issue is not strictly visibility it’s more the pavement condition. Autonomous drivers can’t “feel” the road the way a human can, at least not yet, so conditions that a human could safely cautiously navigate just aren’t safe for a non-human right now.
Okay sorry my bad, I misused the expression (now I understand it better thanks)
A road is just 2d tunnel.
Thanks. This helps even more. I need not go through all the packages. I'll get a fedora account now :)
Anyone who took it instead of pseudoephedrine knew this. If not for the crystal meth panic it would never have seen the market.
> In short, Logseq feels too big, feels too hard to start with, and demands too much at the first impression. If failed to get me, and I failed to get it.

This is interesting, because it wasn't my experience at all. I migrated from Roam to Logseq after I realized I didn't use enough of the fancier features to justify the price. Basically I open Logseq, take notes in my daily journal, and tag blocks so that I can easily pull them up by topic/person/etc later. That's all it took for me to get started, and also as far as I've felt the need to go. For better or worse I have no idea what other "kitchen sink" features it has.
Yeah, that little unassuming pigtails sound way above their league. I sometimes use my RHAs with them. What a treat.
I wrote it up in a bit more detail[1], so I'm giving away the punch line here, but I used to use some cursed bash wrappers to smuggle my bashrc and vimrc along on ssh sessions to mostly-ephemeral hosts by stashing them in environment variables matching the LC_* pattern allowed by default for pass-through in debian-ish sshd configs.

The universities need smart people to keep the reputation up for all the average but rich people.
It’s difficult for mass transit to ever beat a car in direct speed; even in Rome where the train literally goes from the airport to a block from the hotel my Uber with luggage beat the coworker who rode the rails, and he didn’t even wait very long at all.
A customer of mine wraps their Python code into try except pass so it never stops because of errors, it just skips what would have run in the code after the exception. I added some logging so we're slowly understanding what fails and why.
>Do people who get pacemakers or cochlear implants or organ transplants need counselling or is it just not a problem for most people?

I don't think it's a problem for most people. Most people are more grateful to have a life saving device/organ implanted in them that allows them to live a relatively normal life that would have been impossible otherwise, than no implants but be dead/dying or living in agony.
I remember my sister was given a task for the final phase of the recruitment process. Before that everything went very well. She got rejected with the reason being that she used ChatGPT. How unserious and unthoughful approach is that? Everybody out there is using it , its the embodiment of the collective knowledge of humans. Would have it been better if she used Google, youtube etc ? People are still trying to fight the progress, but its a lost fight.
I agree with mostly everything you're saying except this:

>some ivy league schools do in fact do that in donations to financial grant programs for low income

This is always after other financial aid has been applied to the student account. They're not going to be willing to pony up the missing chunk, I bet you.
They are required to pay for the Pell grants somehow without new revenue. It’s a house rule.

So they are taking the money from the student loan program. It’s not really going to pay for the grants because that loan money is still available just at different institutions. It’s an accounting trick.

But those institutions are an easy target. The right views them as spreading leftist ideals and the left views them as bastions of privilege.

Of course if this passes it will be middle class kids that get hurt the worst.

True in Europe, but this was never a problem for Genghis Khan and his armies [0]. They were primarily a cavalry army, and in effect rode to the next bit of decent grassland as required, without the need for a massive supporting logistical force.

[Edit]. I'm ignoring their siege capability, but the general point holds, that they emphasized mobility.

Compilers already have diagnostic for these exact things ("because it was valid before and after C23, the code just means different things"), e.g. all the -wc99-compat warnings
The problem is a massive taxpayer subsidy for wealthy institutions that don’t need it.

The important point is who is benefiting from the subsidy? Just like the Federal tax credit for EVs benefit Tesla not the consumer, so too do student load subsidies benefit the universities, not the student.

When the Fed steps in to pay a portion of a consumer’s bill, if the supplier isn’t regulated, the supplier simply increases their prices exactly in line with the subsidy.

Consumers have a price they will bear, and that price is NET of any subsidies. It doesn’t really matter who technically “receives” the subsidy, directly to the supplier or to the consumer after the fact, because the purchasing decision works out the same either way if the supplier is free to increase prices.

It’s very smart, though using bounding boxes will most likely limit it to 2D contexts (and some head-on 3D contexts) since the text won’t follow the bounding box when perspective is involved. I’m sure it can be improved to support bounds that have 3D transforms though.

> It seems wild to me that the United States on average works 500 more hours a year

I think that ultimately stems from different workers' rights in US where people work even if sick due to the sick leave limits and low mandatory vacation days.

I'm quite sure people that are independent/self-employed in Europe work comparable numbers because they too will likely take much less vacations and sick days.
I've always thought that it is a bit close-minded to focus on wearable technology when it comes to human augmentation.

Vehicles and computers are, in practice, much more powerful and feasible augmentations than literal sci-fi robot limbs, brain chips, or digital eyes.

The future has been here for a while.

Having tech more immediately accessible to our bodies can have a large impact on usability and usage patterns (see mobile), but there's not much of a fundamental qualitative difference in what it enables us to do as humans that we couldn't do before.
No argument here, I'm just saying I don't tend to use primary sources

i think it really depends on the lifestyle you're accustomed to having.
NewPipe is one of the best apps available on Android. The only thing missing for me currently is Android Auto support.
> It’s worth noting that all 3 of these incidents involve a Waymo getting hit from behind, which is the other driver’s fault even if the Waymo acted “unexpectedly”. This is very very good news for them.

How so? If human drivers did unexpected stuff like brake for no reason, we'd have a lot more accidents.

I think this just highlights how much better humans are at cooperating on the road compared to automated systems.

Edit: I'm really not joking. The amount of resources - people, time, enterprise - pumped into front end frameworks is quite horrendous when most applications are CRUD, and most others are CRUD 80% of the time.
A few years ago we had an opportunity to borrow at a negative interest rate. Should have leaned into that opportunity.

Also we’re under-taxing bajillionaires and politically-active but tax-exempt megachurches.

So much this. I work on an educational product, and we support something like 5 or 6 different school OIDC providers and have to maintain a separate implementation for each one. They all use the same base class, but there’s just a stupid amount of variation in how they actually work.

It seems to me that the three accidents mentioned all appear to be the responsibiliy of the human driven vehicles rather than the Waymo vehicles. The July one doesn't give enough details to be certain; in the August one it is pretty clear to me that the human driver did not leave themselves enough time to stop when the Waymo vehicle came to an unexpected halt; and the October one has someone madly driving up behind the vehicle and smashing into it, despite the Waymo vehicle attempting to speed up to avoid the collision.
Some day we'll lose this ability and it'll be a sad day for HN. Feels like a special trick we've got to enjoy while we can. Nice submission OP - I learned something.
Yeah, and two op-amps for the ground filter has me stymied as well.

Slightly off-topic, someone pointed out that MAX232 chips make a great power supply for op-amp circuits like this (using charge-pump capacitors) one because they can hand you +/- 9V from a 5V source (which could be a USB power brick). I'm not sure but I would guess that the current needs of his audio filter would be within what the MAX232 could handle.

I made a small PCB based on that idea for experimenting with op-amp circuits on a bread board.
I'd I don't have internet, I can't work, so it's moot at that point

Yeah I'd say that chatgpt is wrong maybe 10 or 20% of the time. It generates old or straight up wrong information. You have to double check it against stackoverflow
That is not unique to Stanford, and every university in the country right now takes federal money in many ways, not just student loans, so your premise does not follow at all
Over two decades ago I started worked on open source groupware projects. I moved on about 15 years ago. Back then it was all about building an open source alternative to MS Exchange (or Novell GroupWise). Today little has changed.

In the early days it was mostly PHP and Perl front ends for a MySQL database and various daemons. The mid 00s saw a new batch of solutions emerge such as OpenXchange, Zimbra and OpenGroupWare.org. SOGo traces its roots to OpenGroupWare.org. Google Apps, which went on to become G Suite and finally Google Workspace launched around the same time.

When looking at most of the products in this space today, including M365, Google Workspace and the various open source offerings, I don’t need much innovation in terms of features. The core product is still email, calendar, todos and notes. There have been compounding incremental improvements in these features, but haven’t been any big ground breaking changes.

Today Google and Microsoft bundles their “office” apps and “groupware” apps into a single integrated offering. I don’t see an open source product that comes close to either of them. The self hosted / on prem offerings are servicing a shrinking niche.

I keep watching this space, but I have given up expecting to see any significant changes.
> restrictive DMARC policy (p=reject; adkim=s)

As others have mentioned, this is not how DMARC works.

But I'd like to add to this that this is also not how 'adkim' works. It won't protect you from this particular attack.

adkim=s adds a strict alignment requirement for DKIM, meaning that the DKIM signature is not to be considered aligned unless the domain matches up to the subdomain level. The default 'relaxed' (adkim=r) alignment requirement allows you to use subdomains with a DKIM key placed under the administrative domain (aka 'root' or 'apex' domain) and vise-versa.

Unless you know exactly what you are doing and you have a situation where you do not control subdomains of your own domain, you probably don't want to use adkim=s.
People have cited this figure before, but I think the “10,000 administrators” without further context is misleading. The number is 15,000 anyway if you look at Wikipedia.

The reason it’s misleading is that it’s being portrayed as though there are 10,000 diversity, equity, and inclusion support group staff or payroll checkers or some other nonsense when the fact of the matter is that these figures include staff doing things like running federal research grant projects, maintaining facilities, working at university hospitals, and numerous other activities.

If you think 10,000 is a lot, wait until you see Ohio State University’s 27,000 administrative staff.

Both pgfplots and PSTricks and TikZ are plotting libraries. It seems like it shouldn't be that hard to let them plot an equation written elsewhere in different syntax.
It worked well for me - I was able to correctly infer a lot of information about the app from a single character, which was about as successful as a naming scheme could hope to be.

I challenge you to find an example where honors college courses are considered "equivalent" to the honors college core you're required to take.

My claim is specifically courses like AP Lit or AP Lang can't be applied for "Honors Western Civ", not that they prevent AP Physics or other stuff not in the honors college from being applied.

At the risk of sounding like a snobbish audiophile, I have found class-D give me listening fatigue. I wasn't consciously aware of it until, after listening to the class-D for six months, one day I substituted a small tube amp I had built.

That “game loop” exists in the browser too. It’s just the main event loop, and it’s been there since the inception of JavaScript. Not saying everything that web developers aren’t reinventing the wheel, but I think the reason for it isn’t a lack of tools, it’s a combination of poor ergonomics of the existing tools and (perhaps more importantly) people not understanding those tools and building frameworks for things that are included by default.
It is so cool that people do things like this. For me it is often the exploration that I appreciate as much as what the exploration finds. Don't know if and when I can use this.

My boss once told me he wanted the next release to be "cool". I had no idea what that meant so I thought about it and decided:

"Things are cool when they change how you see the world. When you will never quite see the world the same way again."

Starry Night is cool. Raising metal is cool. Threejs is cool. Webrtc is cool. WASM & wasmer are also cool.

Tech Illiteracy is definitely a problem with kids. Even if they do have a real computer, school might entirely be web based. Google classroom, google drive, google office. No one learns what they don’t use.

That being said, I’m a senior developer now and I didn’t really touch a command line until junior year of college. I guess we all learn what we need to learn and if a kid really wants to learn how a computer works he or she will.
Maybe a big difference with other species is that we know about it, we have been talking about it for decades, we know what we need to do to minimize the casualties (use less energy, do less with less), and instead of working on improving the situation, we actively work on making it worse.

We read about those issues in the morning, complain about them making us anxious, and proceed to get excited about 5G, AI and SpaceX in the afternoon.
RK3588 has 4 lanes of PCIe 3 and a variable number of PCIe 2 lanes (variable because they share pins with other interfaces).

Most boards with RK3588 use the 4 PCIe 3 lanes for an SSD M.2 socket.

A carrier for 4 SSDs could use a more expensive PCIe switch for high performance, or it could split the 4 lanes to the sockets for low cost.

The main competitor of RK3588, Intel N100, is claimed to have up to 9 PCIe 3 lanes.

Nevertheless, I believe that they must share pins with other interfaces, because all the computers that I have seen with Intel Alder Lake N are starved for PCIe lanes and in none of them the M.2 socket uses 4 lanes, but usually only 2, or even only 1, so their SSDs have reduced speed, lower than in most RK3588 computers (but the N100 Gracemont cores are significantly faster than the Cortex-A76 cores of RK3588).
