Force universities to underwrite student loans. If students can't get a job within 3 years of graduation, schools (not the taxpayers!) have to pay off the loans. 90% of the bullocks in so-called higher education would resolve itself r

The Internet Archive isn't immune to that either, unfortunately. Taylor Lorenz has leveraged her uncle to delete unfavorable stuff about her out of the Internet Archive :/

The Pinto thing was dramatically overblown. And seriously set back the acceptance of small cars in the US. For a supposed environmentalist and consumer advocate, Ralph Nadar did FAR more harm than good by grifting off a bunch of sensation

"not even close to being the most powerful tool to crunch numbers on scale." So what tool would be that's as broadly accessible as Excel is?

You just have to put regulation in for supercapacitors that batteries don't need. Batteries have natural internal resistance, so they "meter" the power out, whereas capacitors are perfectly happy releasing all of their energy

The live patching is new, but it doesn't say where they are getting the patches from (I suspect Microsoft's). I dunno, I suppose it could be slightly more convenient, but it's not like patching/maintenance windows are t

As others in the comments have already mentioned, Studio Six makes very nice Audio Tools (at least on iOS/Mac, not sure if they are also on Android). Their SMAART module is the cheapest way to get access to SMAART tools - which can be
