I'm not sure restricting higher-ed to the ultra rich is the panacea you think it might be. Because what you are doing is creating a system where only the rich, or the upper-middle class (who can cosign or take out loans on behalf of th

I think some of this (not being able to tell crypto types apart) is the emphasis on specialization. I helped with some intro infosec courses years back, and these were smart students but they had not much exposure or understanding of basic

And it goes both ways ... sometimes there isn't a fit, or there is a skills mismatch, or (list goes on). I would agree that every 6 months - year you should interview for job(s) you are interested in. Once it gets to an offer, maybe it

Well, in earlier (and better?) times, copyright infringement enforcement was in line with the profit one made from infringing. When copyright was drafted, the idea was to protect a publisher (and his pipeline) from someone just selling chea

I think they are talking about in THIS environment, not in general. Many "leaders" have stated that their business is growing, they have good cash reserves, but they felt they had to cut now. This isn't a downturn or a crisis

In the article, they are styled as a "content writer", but I guess scare quotes around journalist fits the picture you are trying to draw better? They are stating a fact WITH a citation, but it annoys you? I never understand this

Okay, so let me reach back to when I graduated many moons ago. I think I had one course on "parallel"(concurrent) programming. I had exactly zero courses on SQL or relational algebra, although we did write a basic database. I had

If you make it too easy to set up, you make it ... too easy for spammers and other "marketing specialists" to start sending e-mail, I think is the reason. Right now, they have to be technical (or at least pay $$ to tech people) to

Not the poster, but I'd say that smarthosting hides visibility (when did this get delivered) and costs money. I would argue that the overhead of setting things up is more pricey then paying for smarthost forwarding, but maybe I'm

Is it hard to run the basic software to have a self-hosted e-mail server? No. Is it an utter PITA to have to chase a dragon's tail of stupid things that you don't control to have RELIABLE e-mail? Yes. While running your own server

I think the issue here is poorly framed as "trust". Journalists are humans, and humans make mistakes. Mistakes don't destroy trust. What destroys trust is the inability to correct mistakes. Usually, there are editors and fact

People who can predict things will ALWAYS be in demand, especially in Marketing and Sales. ML & DS aren't perfect predictions, but with good math and good data you can be right a lot. What I'd say is since everyone is shedding

Classically, I think that scripts are small/one-off bits that were written in an immediate language like Bash or maybe Python. Scripts I think are meant to be run by tech people so might lack documentation, error checking, etc. Often y

That does help a bit. Do companies provide such benefits directly in the US, or at least in certain areas? In cities I'm familiar with, childcare services are a personal choice, even if there is a daycare in your office building. I do

I love how this piece is really evidence free opinion. First he waxes on about spiraling tuition costs, and blames "too many" admins as weighing the higher education down. Does he break out comparisons to an earlier era with data?

Umm... "appears current subscribers have around 4 weeks" MS: "as of Nov 2023" I'm thinking someone mathed wrong, but by my calculation this is over a year from now, not around a month.

This seems really neat, actually. While it seems it would be a bit more expensive than you'd think, if you loved railroads then it would be a cool thing to own. I guess the only restriction would be having to hook into an Amtrak train&

Oh? It seems one becomes a taxpayer at about $12k or so. It seems that someone at $20k is well over that. Do people on the low end of the tax scale not deserve to be educated?

Ok, I'll chime in; I'm opposed! :) I'll agree we need a system of credit histories, but what we've got now is terrible. The current vendors have no serious liability for breaches, and are pretty lax in how they do things

There seems to be a bit of narrative about "not burdening taxpayers" for a few years while students are in school. I have to ask, what happens once they finish school? Do they not join the legion of taxpayers? Is it only CURRENT t
