When I was a sophomore in my undergrad degree one of the professors was habitually late. As we were only meeting 2-3 times a week I calculated the dollar value of that lateness as a part of our tuition. People were not happy. Hopefully at

There are a good amount of healthcare resources for retirees and government workers in [WA, USA]. Before he passed away last summer my grandfather was using $26000USD/mo of insurance benefits which the state paid for as he was a retire

I absolutely agree. The whole “college experience” from overpriced textbooks to overpriced dorms is a huge racket. The covid pandemic might really shake things up though if there’s no school starting in the fall though.

If student loans were suddenly unavailable then universities would have to rein in out of control costs and Maybe get rid of sports and bs admin staff. The only reason they change that much is due to the ability of loans.

As someone in a similar situation, just throw it all in VTSAX vanguard or FZROX fidelity and let it sit for the next 30-40years. Dollar cost average over the next year maybe if that makes things less nerve wracking. Obviously we are in a r

It will be 180days + unemployment + CARES act unemployment (13w) so the better part of a year before the real defaults start. Not that it won’t happen it will be much more slow motion that most people will be comfortable with. BTW I just lo

Single payer is a possibility but not the only possibly. DE/NL have private insurance + universal coverage and it works just fine. But the shenanigans insurance companies get up to are not allowed there. I’d prefer single payer but eit

It’s either they pay for everyone’s lost salary or people will just disregard the stay home orders and go back to work.

This is 100% political but imo this industry really just needs to be nationalized ASAP. You literally have people who are working as essential workers worried about paying for healthcare coverage or how much an appointment will cost. There

Not until the risks are understood, I foresee people really trying to jump the gun in getting this to market. Also I probably have antibodies to covid due to riding the light rail in Seattle for most of Dec/Jan/Feb. Also we know t

It would make more sense if the grocery buyers were instead bidding on a delivery service by an instacart shopper. This is really what is happening with tipped groceries delivery.

Yes the Air is fine for that, other brands may or may not hold up as well. It has a much higher resolution display though so it needs more integrated glue of course.

Maybe there is a currency/tax issue driving the price up? One plus 8 is starting at $699USD while the iPhone SE 2020 has been available for $199 at Walmart although it is though an installment plan to keep people with att/Verizon.

We should just use prisoners as the test subjects. Leave it up to and IRB and they will sit on it until we’re all dead... If you ask under-40y/o non-violent offenders with >10yr sentence and say a $10k payout and guaranteed presiden

There are very extensive studies done on non-patentable lifestyle choices/activity/smoking which have had similar results over the last 70 odd years. These include the nurses study [0], the bus drivers/conductors study [1] an

I don’t think Apple is considering the A13 unnecessarily on the SE2. The A13 will allow for it to be “fast” for like 5 more years. Corporations/governments/non-us lower income counties are going to love this phone especially BRICs

Absolutely agree here. However the change from surface laptop 2 to surface laptop 3 made it a lot more repairable. Hopefully this years model will have an easily replaceable internal battery.

Microsoft please use this in the surface laptop update for this year. Last years Ryzen Surface Laptop 3 was a bit anemic IMO. This would be insane, pair with upgradeable storage and ram and I would buy over a MBP.

Well Amazon is in the process of automating package delivery and cashiers. The current pandemic has only sped up their efforts IMO. So anything in relation to automating what you do in the office like IT or automating away parts of sales w
