Add “a global pandemic turning your university experience into Zoom-school with no reduction in tuition” to the list of possible hazards there.

No, it’s not flawed and it’s not a hypothesis — I’m speaking from specific knowledge and experience regarding particular degrees. Those averages include things like medical school for doctors and law school for lawyers. Tuition and expected

Practically, this makes no sense though. Those that do not complete school are the ones that will have the hardest time paying back their loans. You are just burying people further in their own failures. Young people make mistakes. It does

Okay but again — be pissed at the government for making bad loans in the first place, not for writing them off when it is impossible for them to be repaid.

I’m specifically talking about professional, graduate degrees. Undergrad is a different matter. A professional degree should give you an opportunity to increase your income in proportion to the cost of the degree. If that is not even close

The loans should not be given out, but also schools should not be charging the sort of tuition that they do for professional degrees, for professions that do not provide a salary that could pay for said tuition.

For real, it’s basically predatory. And I’m not talking about BS degrees from crap online schools. What the Ivy Leagues charge for certain graduate degrees in the social sciences is basically a huge scam. There is absolutely no viable pathw

On the flip side, your tax dollars made a bad loan. Usually, when a creditor did a bad job underwriting and makes a loan that cannot be repaid, the creditor is made to eat the cost.

This is like saying that because of all the advancements that automobiles have made, teleportation is right around the corner.

It's down from it's heyday for the mainstream, but for the dedicated few, it's better than ever before. Gone are the days of manually searching for a movie on tracker sites, downloading them, organizing your library and watch

I really love that enough movie nerds came in there and asked about Laserdisc and Betamax that it became part of the spiel.

Notion just seems to get worse and worse. I used to love it but now I find it infuriatingly slow. Glad to hear Obsidian is better as I’ve been considering it as an alternative.

Ha, this reminds me of a story from my old job, before I became a software engineer. I worked for an artist and we had an inventory system that a freelance web developer had built for us. I think it was some sort of php, laravel, mysql stac

Physical junk mail is the USPS' bread and butter, so it's not surprising that they have no qualms about sending email spam either.

That's interesting to hear. It may be completely true, I don't really know. The source of my skepticism, however, is that all of the incentives are there for them to not be transparent about this, and to make the cars appear &quot

So just to confirm, you are saying that "network port analysis" is NOT used to determine if someone has entered a zoom meeting?

Do we even know what % of Waymo rides in SF are completely autonomous? I would not be surprised if more of them are remotely piloted than they've let on...

Why didn't Notion ask for my affirmative consent before monitoring my network traffic? Are there other cases where Notion is monitoring my network traffic? If so, what are they?

The performance really is abysmal. I started using it years ago and the change from the early days has been drastic.

I think the problem is the premise that successful movies should become effectively genres in-and-of themselves. The problem with these franchises isn't all the reasons why they are poorly made, but rather that they exist as franchises

I love my Kobo Forma except for the fact that the battery life is complete trash. I’m pretty sure Kobo did not replace the battery on the refurbished device I purchased :(

Well, we prioritize amongst the tech debt on that board and then move it onto the main board for sprint, it's not like it's a completely separate process. Things do go there to die sometimes though.

I've become something of the guy that's the main code remover at my current job. Part of it is because I've been here the longest on the team, so I've got both the knowledge and the confidence to say a feature is dead

Of course, this is the way you need to write tests -- to test the actual logical pathways and requirements of the code, and not just finagle them together to overfit some code coverage metric.

I'm not sure where you are getting this from -- many of the poorer areas of the city, such as the Bronx, went to Cuomo.

That’s fair, I guess I just don’t have much sympathy for that person as from my perspective, they were getting a massive subsidy for a long time, and we’re all better off if we cut off their gravy train. And I say this as a former artist my

The subway is also a basic tool to get to work, which even more people use, and we charge a fare for that. So why not for driving? The point isn’t that it won’t negatively affect anybody of moderate or lower income, it’s that overall it w

I’m unclear on how $9 is not a fair price to drive a car from lower manhattan to new jersey. Public transit would cost at least that much.
