Why did you edit it? The total cost of attending the University of Washington today is $27k. Virginia is $29k. Texas is $26k. If you're child is going to college in 6 years, $40-50k sounds completely possible.

You've picked a very unfair data set. Stanford is one of the top universities in the country and has a $22B endowment [1]. The could choose to simply make tuition free if they really wanted to. Stanford optimizes everything they do (in

Another, lesser known side effect of the unlimited access to student loans has been the rise of "degree factory" for-profit universities and their super aggressive and deceptive recruitment tactics. It is yet another lesson in the

That's a terrible argument that I've never heard an actual policy-maker or politician make. Besides, unsecured debts are all around us, credit cards being the most common.

1. Infinite supply of loans. Dept of Ed isn't even allowed to deny a loan to a person. 2. Culture since the Clinton era of "everyone should go to college". Massive cultural stigma for those who don't. 3. Colleges conti

Not a logical error at all, much less a major one. The obfuscated "taxation" of American households led to higher bids for airing games which led to salaries for players and higher valuations for teams. The cost to ESPN of the ent

[Tesla] was founded on bringing [electric cars] to the middle class. Seriously, it seems like commenters either aren't reading this article and/or have a bias against Tesla.

I can't help but think that people who truly feel like they have unique insight into the future would be insane to share it publicly.

This is such a great comment (polite, constructive, unbiased). It made me think that I wish there was a site like Ars Technica, but for PaaS/IaaS.

Respectfully, I don't buy it and I think the the marketplace is bearing this out. Local advertising was temporarily disrupted when Groupon owned the market (eyeballs) and offered a product that businesses thought was superior to tr

Yes, daily local deals. Mason was wishing for some version of Groupon that would affordably deliver 500k emails to people in SF for his local business Detour. Such a thing does not and cannot exist.

Sure, but I still see two problems: 1. Math.random, despite his insistence, isn't broken. There are different degrees of randomness that a programmer might need for their program and Math.random simply didn't suit his. 2. Their in

Can you provide any links to more information on "imitation logos"? I'm completely fascinated that this is even a thing, because the entire point of a logo is to communicate the identity of a company visually to a consumer. T

I'm not sure what you mean by "sanctioned". Trademark law is very specific and this lawsuit is entirely about the logo on the website. I'm not aware of any law that could prevent someone from going to a restaurant, buyin

IMNAL, but it seems that In-N-Out is correct here. There are a couple of exceptions [1] in trademark law for using logos without permission: 1. your use is for informational or editorial purposes (for instance, you use the trademark as part

Blink is a fork of Webkit. So while it may be sufficiently different thank Webkit in the future, I'm not sure how meaningfully different it is today. Especially from the perspective of a web developer or user.
