That's it. Some countries are even more open. You can walk up to pharmacies in some countries and ask for most medications without a prescription. Up until 10-20 years ago you could walk into pharmacies in some countries and get abusab

That's commentary on company valuations. Token prices are going down. Competition is global. A company could choose to keep their API prices high, but if another company comes in at 1/10th the price for 95% of the performance then

It does. Community colleges aren't big student loan targets because their tuition is lower and they're often more transactional with a higher proportion of commuter and employed students. Universities have become more of an expens

You're still getting your facts wrong. Loans are still dischargeable under certain conditions. You claimed that "a quarter century ago" student loans could be discharged in bankruptcy, but that's not really true either

Good catch, sorry. Was trying to put it in terms of the parent comment's "quarter century ago" claim. They didn't realize that the student loan protections had gone in a full quarter century prior to their experience, wh

Using LLMs to build out the nice-to-haves that I’ve always wanted but never had time for is one of their great use cases. Visualizations are a perfect use case for this because they don’t have to be perfectly architected, maintainable code.

by Aurornis 4mo ago
And what is the interest rate on those credit card offers? Is it the low single digits of a student loan which is not easily dischargeable? Or is it 18-30% like you’d expect from a loan where the recipient can discharge it more easily? This

The full reason is that preventing bankruptcy is the only way to keep interest rates low and make the loans widely available. If bankruptcy was allowed then the obvious play would be to take the loan, max out credit cards right before gradu

You have to separate the YouTube clickbait from the real learning content in there. US manufacturing is expensive because wages are high, but also because we focus on the high end work that pays more . Even the small machine shops I used 10
