Free File Act the article talks about was not passed and did not make it out of the Committee. A similar bill was passed in 2019: https://www.propublica.org/article/congress-is-about-to-ban-...

Wow, looks like I have been living under the rock for a little bit. The monetization strategy was not clear to me, but I though that eventually having premium accounts would make sense. The launch of Stellar was a little confusing.

This is a secondary function, as far as I remember you would need to explicitly mark you item as lost and it can only connect to app running, not really a mesh network of tiles. In any case, I think I should be able to use it locally, if I

Maybe a good start, but I don't think it's too useful. Creepiness is not just security, it's both: privacy and security. A while ago I got Tile, though it was a good idea. Returned the same day, because in order to add a devi

Thanks for sharing the story. I am curios if you applied both for MD and OD schools? Anecdotally, I heard opinion, that OD is more tolerant to people, who choose medical field as a second career or older applicants.

> I think one could study at much lower cost in China, Russia, Eastern and Central Europe. They have now courses in English, and have become the new hub for medical education. Cost is cheaper, yes. Quality varies a lot across the country

This great news, I appreciate the free stuff, but on the other hand free stuff can be tricky as the company must make money. So I hope that your enterprise model will work.

It's surprising to me they do it with online education. With traditional study, they prefer out-of-state, because oos students are more likely to pay colleges for housing. With online it does not make a difference though.

by aschatten 6y ago
Yeah. It's even less about tuition but more about dorm cost. If a student is very local, they can even stay with their family or are more likely to find rent sooner. Out-of-state students tend to pay colleges for housing, at least for

Not just foreign. In the US even many university prefed out of state students, but will never admit to it.

An excellent write up of the crashed by a pilot: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/18/magazine/boeing-737-max-c... I highly recommend you read it. It‘s not to exonerate Boeing, but it does bring up issues

It's very hard to incorporate events like this into a financial model. With chronic disease like diabetes or cancer they can get a pretty good forecast of demand, so it's translates into a clearer understanding of ROI with higher

Where was it stipulated that a characteristic of a microservice is that it can be completely written in a couple of weeks?

I think prefix “micro“ confuses me :) Opens up a debate as to how granular you need to go. Another thing that confuses me is whether microservice architecture is conceptually different to SOA. Some say it is, some view it as another iterati

I would say a startup is a ship that has been floated. But it‘s unclear if it needs to be a destroyer or a cargo ship, or a cruise ship. Later on it may turn out to be a spaceship.

Spot on. Looker is a great tool, but it has its own language LookerMl and a set of abstractions. From my limited experience it‘s not easy to pick up. It‘s likely that an analyst is already familiar with it. But like with any BI if there is
