I agree with this for like 95-99% of people. I do think there are a few internally motivated students who will thrive in this environment. Obviously you can't make policy around those few, but it would be interesting to give students t

YouTube’s primary value add for me is music remixes and covers that can’t legally make it to Spotify / Apple music / etc., but skirt around the DMCA takedowns. I try and use it as my primary driver for music but the recommendation

Aside: I thought I heard a while back that Chrome and Safari were changing their browser extension APIs such that it would make it difficult to truly block ads / 3rd party scripts / blacklist domains. Did this ever come to fruitio

Just let student loans go into bankruptcy. Most of the problems would be solved. Banks would be forced to actually evaluate someone's ability to pay back the loan after school, they'd give out smaller loans to lower their risk,

Ethereum just forked the entire blockchain to undo a transaction they didn't like. I'm not sure if that's reassuring or a complete violation of the entire premise of smart contracts.

Microsoft should absolutely be able to do that if they wanted and in fact do that when you buy something from their Windows store. But not allowing side loading of apps would be bad for business. Linux would see a huge gain in marketshare.

It isn’t illegal to side load another OS with another App Store onto your phone. But Apple is also well within their rights to design their phones to brick if they detect something they deem a security risk being loaded onto a device they s
