The only way these companies can reclaim the money that they've lent to students is through the backing of the government, and the legal mechanisms that have been provided to them to use the state to collect money. Isn't cancellin

If you have invested 20+ years of your life into a particular project, and you have someone doing something that you consider potentially harmful to it, could that not be enough to react angrily? I don't see why it would need to be neg

I absolutely agree with this. What may have seemed like a good idea to avoid short-term arguments, has instead allowed differences to fester to a point where people barely even agree on the terminology used.

I think a lot of it comes from the modern definition of racism involving power + prejudice. As a group Chinese people appear to be relatively successful in society (certainly in tech) and so sit slightly higher up the power scale than black

This is a pity. One of the things I like with the Mac is being able to use Mac-side editors like BBEdit to be able to make changes to the configuration and files of the Unix-y server tools I need. If I can't reliably use Windows GUI ed

What you describe already exists but it doesn't get called "automatic". The car companies don't call it that, the drivers don't call it that. It'll be called DCT or the older sequential manual gearbox.

So where are the American-born Nobel laureates? Surely all six being immigrants it at least a little statistically strange. Is this a result of poor US primary education, an issue with culture, or something else at play?
