They can only get away with this crap due to government subsidized student loans. Remove the artificial inflation of cheap government money and this crap would self-correct overnight. Even better - make colleges guarantee loans. If people

Even if he was only giving away money for views (something I disagree with along the same lines as others) - why is that a bad thing exactly? How is it malicious to actually help people?

Or you can just architect your application as a hybrid that can surge into the cloud as needed. Lots of ways to go about it rather than just chucking everything to the cloud and never thinking about it again.

CPU and GPU gains have been pretty modest for over a decade. Unless you are facing hardware failure (or the infamous Windows 'rot') I doubt many people have a legitimate reason to upgrade machines on a routine basis as they once
