Like others mentioned in comments, the article entirely neglects to address the distinction between grants and loans, talking only about "financial aid". If you have to pay back a loan later, that's still part of the cost.

The article also switches back and forth talking about different timeframes. It starts off by talking about tuition trajectory since 2014. Usually when I hear people lamenting the increase in college costs, they're talking about a much longer timeframe, like since the 1970s. And indeed the article says:

> This pricing strategy took hold in the early 1980s. Since then, Levine has found, the sticker cost of attending a four-year public or private university—tuition plus fees and room and board—has almost tripled after adjusting for inflation.

But then in the next paragraph:

> Only students whose families make more than about $300,000 a year and who attend private institutions with very large endowments pay more than they did a decade ago, Levine said.

Those are two different timeframes. Either may be useful, but you can't support a statement like "well costs haven't really gone up" by just cherry-picking random numbers from decades apart.

The last two paragraphs of the article talk about colleges "advertising their value proposition" and how they "can’t afford to push students away". This smacks of a corporate viewpoint towards higher education that makes me suspicious of the whole piece.
The Markdown parsing library I'm using supports MDX, so it shouldn't be too difficult to come up with syntax for those components. I haven't done that yet, but mostly because I didn't want to go down that path until I knew there was interest and had a concrete use case or two to inform the query syntax.

If you want to open an enhancement request issue, I'm happy to take a look (PRs also welcome, but not required). If you're not on GitHub, let me know and we can figure out some other way to get the request tracked.

Thanks for taking a look at the project!

The armour needs to be quite flexible in this area anyway as your hips and legs need to bend. they just used flaps of chainmail rather than seal you in. Look at some images.
It will be an uphill struggle for you to claim obsolescence.

The general public are currently being trained with administrative assistant/clerical skills in order to do this labor for companies unable to support a workforce.

Your card transactions are now your responsibility, not a cashier's. Your menu ordering is in your hands from the cloud, not a waitress you can harass. Your vehicle's vital functions, safety mechanisms, and accessories are all on you, in motion or at rest. All your paperwork is cloud-assisted but you're the secretary and they're going paperless so you'd better have a nice printer, too.

Your mobile apps are living rent-free in your home/pocket and you've got limited authority over their resource usage, especially if a coin miner or botnet is part of your package deal.

Currently I'm struggling with my ISP because apparently the providers in USA are segregating/unbundling Mobile Wireless service and moving toward stricter metering/throttling of data and bandwidth, so it would seem that this Mandatory Smartphone also demands an Unlimited 5G plan to match.
Condemned was pretty atmospheric too.
Good to see they are still making games.
That’s categorically false, world GDP is not growing at 10%. If it was, we’d be doubling the economy every 7 years. That’s a staggering rate of growth
Between AP and dual credit, my kid should graduate HS with somewhere around 30 hours of college credit.
Also a person with a degree in a subject (years of sunk cost) often feels pigeonholed into that field which may not be enjoyable, well-paid or require you to move to hunt for a job in the field. All negative outcomes.
yeah, uh, well he's been on a bit of a sabbatical for the last five centuries so there aren't any recent ones. Not sure when he's planning to come out of retirement.
And this is the kind of technology we use to decide if someone should get a loan, or if something is a human about to be run over by a car.

I think I'm going to simply climb up a tree and wait this one out.

What if it invented a new kind of human, or a different kind of running over?
The built-in TOTP in Bitwarden password manager is only available to premium Bitwarden subscribers, requires you to have a Bitwarden account, and stores your TOTP codes in Bitwarden's servers.

This standalone app is available for free, can be used without an account, and the TOTP codes are only stored locally (or through your phone's native backup system).

Some people dislike the idea of storing TOTP codes in the same location as passwords, so it seems this helps provide those people with that separation, while still using Bitwarden products (which tbh is cool with me - a lot of the other TOTP apps on the appstores suck).
I'm really not just looking at what he says, but his actions over the last 20+ years, combined with the fact that starting a rocket company is not a particularly great way to become richer. It certainly hasn't made Jeff Bezos more rich.

I think what you're saying is that he is obsessed with Mars and is simply taking advantage of his position to fund this goal more and also massively profit. This I can understand and I think is a very real concern. I don't think it's what the poster I originally replied to is saying though.
> one clear driver is continually increasing rules, regulations, and compliance, along with fears of audits and lawsuits

As mentioned by the GP posts the main problem is the increasing rules, regulations and compliance need to be processed the admin staff not the research contributions itself (these invention and innovation parts are performed by the graduate students and professors who are getting cuts by the limited budget).

This AI based system will include (not limited to) LLM with RAG (with relevants documents) that can perform the work of the tens if not hundreds jobs of the admin staff. The agent AI can also include rule based expert system for assessment of the procedures. It will be much faster than human can ever be with the on-demand AWS scale scaling (pardon the pun).

Ultimately it will need only a few expert admin staff for the compliance validation and compliance instead tens of hundreds as typical now in research organizations. The AI based system will even get better over time due to this RLHF and expert human-in-the-loop arrangement.
Would you mind giving a more detailed use case for this? I feel it might be useful to me but for lack of understanding on my part.

a) They're not as prominent as the 4 mentioned

It doesn’t support syncing between devices.

An alternative is Ente Auth: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40883839

Edit: Since there seems to be some confusion, this submission is about Bitwarden Authenticator, a free mobile app for TOTP, not about the Bitwarden password manager, which does support syncing, and which in the paid Premium plan also includes an authenticator.
My university only has 6% faculty, but 52% scientific staff overall, not counting graduate students. I do believe this is a classification issue coupled with the appearance and now ubiquity of precarious positions (soft-funded staff, postdocs).

> Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on a visit to Beijing earlier this month told Chinese leader Xi Jinping that Thailand would crack down on the scam networks. Just ahead of her visit, Thailand cut off electricity, internet and gas supplies to several areas in Myanmar.. Thailand wants to cooperate with China since reports about scam workers being trafficked through Thailand have circulated widely on Chinese social media. The Thai government and others fear it will discourage the lucrative market of inbound Chinese tourists.
And then it's pretty much game over.
I made something kind of similar https://saasufy.com/ but currently only tied to a single database but particularly good at scaling real-time updates. I'm looking for a non-tech co-founder who can drive to a niche use case.

As an example of its capabilities I built this from scratch without frameworks and completely server-less (basically just a .html file, .css file and a couple of .js files hosted only on GitHub): https://www.insnare.net/app/#/dashboard/company-filter/tags%...

That entire app is less than 4K lines of code; all frontend code.

btw, "orange" as color in Bulgarian is still "orange" (оранжев/а/о/и),
but "orange" as fruit is портокал ("portokal") - so that's tricky..

"oranges" seems more correct, vs "orange color" maybe
My PCP once apologized for a system upgrade (he had joined a larger medical practice) which "forces me to look at this laptop screen instead of you, My Friend"

Vault warden is much easier to self host and does all the same things, without the need for a premium subscription too.
Growing in Belgium, we learned that our Walloon brethren use septante (70), quatre-vingts (4 * 20 or 80) and nonante (90).

We never learned huitante (80), but here are apparently parts of Belgium that use is. We did learn soixante-dix and quatre-vingts-dix, and were allowed to use both. [0]

The Swiss also use huitante, and Nova Scotia uses octante.

[0]: Funnily enough, writing American English was a no-go. We had to write centre, colour, metre, lift (elevator), ticket (receipt).
> Sounds like a history class to me--but please tell me why it isn't..

History, in general, has always been a somewhat "activist" degree. But it's a huge area of research, and it's not _necessarily_ politically charged.

"Colonialism studies" almost always degenerate into "all civilization bad, need to destroy all humans and return to the stone age" nonsense.

That's not to say that real research in this area is impossible, this year's Nobel Prize in economics was given for the colonialism research.

> I'd be curious to see some examples.

Recent Gaza protests in Seattle, for example. The protesters were handing out communist propaganda. Not in any roundabout way, but literal Communist Manifestos. Or another example, Seattle's ex-councilmember campaigned _for_ Trump, to help speed up the "destruction of capitalist oppression" ( https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/a-big-sea... ). I can go on, with more examples, but they are mostly local to the Seattle area.

For less political examples, the "just stop using oil" protesters who keep defacing art.
Same! I played a ton of UO and met many friends on it. Never played any of the single-player series for more than a few minutes. Played some Ultima Underworld which appeals to me but it didn't stick.

I have played a lot of Ultima-inspired games though. The Exile and Avernum series by Spiderweb Software [1] are childhood favourites. I also really loved Arx Fatalis [2], a love letter to Ultima Underworld.

What concept allows the UK to (attempt to) enforce this against non citizens whose business or life has no ties to their country?
Plenty of small countries have odd censorship laws but have escaped similar legal hand wringing.
I’m using this as an admin UI on top of an existing database, it works pretty well for that, it’s nice that it doesn’t dictate your db schema.
I don’t really see the point of their “flows”, and I’m not sure how the auto-generated APIs hold up under load, but I’d recommend it for content management if you are ok with the license (it’s not FOSS).
>I work with some germans and they work from home all the time.

I was talking from the perspective of Austria. 100%W FH is none existent. Most is hybrid.

>On the plus side, the tax return of work commute by car increases labour supply and enables people to live further from the high density areas, not everyone can wfh.

Yeah of course, the issue is when you can WFH but employers would rather you burn fuel to get to the office and the state supports that waste while taking about how climate friendly they are. Well if the state would be climate friendly wouldn't they support WFH?
See that position makes more sense to me, but I don't think that's what the post I originally replied to was saying. Maybe it is, but it didn't sound like it to me.

The part about the "stability" is a bit surprising - in my experience, I try playing with clojure about once a year, and every time, everything is different (I mean, I had to go through classpathes, then lein, then boot, then deps.edn - what is the current way to "try and run a program" du jour ?)

Also, is running your "hello world" still going to be incredibly slow, or has something changed in the core system (I know I'm supposed to fix that with graails. Or is it babashka ? Or something else, I suppose.)

It's really sad, because i just love the language. Reading about clojure is a pleasure. Trying to write anything has always been a blocker to me, though. Maybe that's the true "immutable" nature of the language ?

YMMV as I haven't tried it myself, it looks like a solid aluminum frame with geared-stepper drivers. This means many of the axis will have minimal backlash behavior from the gears, but if you keep the driver power minimal you are less likely to strip off teeth when (not if) you make a programming error.

I also like that it is open design, as making it do something useful gets easier. You might be able to get away with a fully 3D printed plastic arm if your use case is not demanding. However, when stating your project goal in one sentence you will have to decide if you are A. building robots or B. solving some lab task.

The GOP is now full of those wannabe monarchs otherwise they would stop him but they just want to succeed him and use what he and Musk start to implement.
Yeah. How come none of their other articles have this at the bottom:

Support for this project was provided by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.

Per wiki:

With assets of approximately $14 billion, Hewlett is one of the wealthiest grant makers in the United States.

Hmph. I guess the millions of successful college graduates are not providing enough positive PR mindshare, so they had to go buy some. Can't wait for their fine tuned LLM.
The UK can't even get the USA to extradite an American woman who was driving on the wrong side of the road and killed a child.

In my mind this very much depends on who was tricked here. If the research was funded by companies, then arguably they should just have better oversight and the loss of their investment is already "punishment" to incentivice that better oversight. If it was public money, then it depends more on the nature of the fraud. I could concieve of a circumstance where I would also argue for a lapse in oversight and therefore a sort of "diffusion" of the responsibility.

I don't think it's certain that anything illegal happened here. It was certainly wrong, but wrong how?
I would suspect those tools are made out of metals of very different composition though.

Using Clojure without Datomic can be frustrating since you feel like you lose some of the language's value, as you likely want to extend its philosophy and style to the database as well. Of course, Hickey probably knew this when he started planning Clojure, which is why he also created Datomic. However, Datomic can be a hard pill to swallow

I guess it depends on what he meant by ending “double taxation” of Americans abroad.

My best guess:

- Swiss German and Austrian German didn't make the cut because Switzerland and Austria are on good terms with Germany and don't mind if we call their languages a dialect of German. Not only is that justification to exclude them, they are also not in Google translate for this reason (which this map uses)

- Luxembourg did mind and went to great lengths to get their German dialect recognized as a separate language, is in Google translate, but Wikipedia lists them as only 300k speakers

- Frisian is seen as a distinct language because of how different it is, is in Google translate, but has about 200k speakers

- Similarly, Scottish Garlic is in Google translate has only 70k-200k speakers

The map is consistent if you set the goal of only considering languages that are in Google translate and have at least 500k speakers.

I do think these rules detract from the map. Frisian and Luxembourgish are interesting as "in-between" languages (Luxemburgish has a lot of French influence, Frisian is closer related to English). And Swiss German has many distinct words that are very different from their German counterparts, so for the purposes of this map it really should be a language.
You must be Zero Mostel reincarnated on the subject of Romanian Jewish cooking.
But also, if the criteria for allowed functions is that they are "reasonable, elemental" (as per the fine article), then I think it would be quite hard to come up with a set of rules to encode that in a way that includes log() and sqrt(), but not S(). It's hard to imagine a function that is less elemental than S() (except maybe the identity function), or why its inclusion would be unreasonable when the other two aren't.

If I'm moderating all comments before they're published on the website, what's the problem? I mean, I've got a simple tech blog. I'm not going to publish random drive-by comments. Only comments that relate to my blog are ever going to be published. Am I making sense?
They've customized it with CSS (narrower, fainter). It's still there but on a large monitor it's probably barely visible.

Cardog guides users through the complete vehicle ownership cycle. Start by researching models using our comprehensive specs database, owner reviews, and curated video content. When ready to buy, analyze real-time listings from sellers across North America, with data organized by exact trim and feature configurations.

After purchase, the garage becomes your ownership hub - tracking maintenance, storing documents, and monitoring market values. Get proactive alerts for service needs, recalls, and registration renewals. When it's time to sell, use historical price data to time the market and determine optimal listing price.

Unlike search engines providing scattered information, Cardog unifies vehicle data with practical ownership tools. Whether you're researching your next car or managing your current one, everything stays organized and updated automatically. The AI interface makes this comprehensive dataset accessible, while the garage helps track your vehicles through their entire lifecycle.

Each phase feeds into the next: research informs purchase decisions, purchase details populate your garage, and garage history helps optimize your eventual sale - creating a seamless ownership experience.
I've never had a need for parsing markdown like this, bit I have to wonder, would it make to go through HTML instead, given that it's what markdown is designed to compile to? At that point, I'd assume there's any number of existing XML tools that work work, and my (maybe naive) assumption is that typical markdown documents would be relatively flat compared to how deeply nested "native" HTML/XML often gets, so it doesn't seem like most queries would require particularly complex XPath to be able to specify.
The issue with that is that Google can be required to backdoor it, and the partner can't realistically vet updates to a reasonable level.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I don't disagree with anything you've said, so you've given me a lot to think about.
I've lived and voted in rural areas. Even if they had closed the convenient polling places that were typically in the nearest elementary school or nearest large church so that we would have had to go to the nearest town to vote--it wouldn't have actually made much difference. Since we had to go to that town for pretty much all of our groceries, consumer goods, health services, etc we were already set up so that going there was no big deal.

It still can cause problems, but the problems are usually not "I don't have a reasonable way to get to my new polling place" problems. They are "Can I fit a trip to the polling place in with my Tuesday schedule?" problems.

People in poor urban areas in cities with little public transportation are often actually much less mobile than people in rural areas. For them it is more likely to be a "I don't have a reasonable way to get to my new polling place" problem.

But the biggest reason closing polling places correlates well with hurting Democrats is that the people who decide which ones to close tend to pick ones that they will be more likely to hurt Democrats. E.g., from 2012 to 2018 Texas closed 542 polling places in the counties that had the biggest growth in Latino and Black populations (both of which are more likely to vote Democrat) and only 34 in counties with the least growth in those populations.
