People will take the path of least resistance. I personally found it easier to look for a new job than to return to the office, so I did that (and got a pay bump as a result).

It's an interesting question, and I've thought about it quite a bit. Here's some ideas:

• 1. Remove some of the anti-bankruptcy protections on student loans, and have the school share some of the profit/loss. This directly incentivizes schools to be competitive, as well as steer students towards their degree programs that actually have job potential. It also encourages schools to be more proactive about helping students that are falling behind, as a large amount of student loan debt is actually a result of dropouts.
• 2. Also remove some of the bankruptcy protections, but semi-privatize the provision of the loans. However, allow the lenders to turn down potential borrowers based on what school they are attending and what degree they are pursuing (no discrimination based on any other factors). This puts the burden of deciding what degrees to subsidize on the lenders.
• 3. If you don't trust privatization, and instead want the decision making to be entirely on the government, you still have a pretty good amount of publicly available data that highlights a few obvious problems (and could start gathering more if needed). It doesn't need to be perfect, but if it at least went after some of the worst degrees, it would have a halo effect.
• 4. Offer some of the same subsidization to trade schools and other alternative forms of education, allowing people to make the choice for themselves.

What my viewpoints here are ultimately based on is the simple fact if a school charges X for a degree, but the degree is worth significantly less than X, then it's not worth getting. But having someone else pay for that doesn't change the fact that it's not worth the price (i.e. it's not a collective action problem).

To respond to GGP:

I agree - I took plenty of classes that were not related to my major nor career. But you can't put the cart before the horse - you need the job part first, and then the enlightenment aspect once that's covered. There's also the fact that not everyone wants all the extra stuff - they just want the job, and it feels like a waste to charge someone thousands of dollars for classes that they don't actually want. Going to a vocational school that teaches you nothing but the stuff you actually need should be a choice that is up to the individual.

Isn't it perjury due to the fact that they are claiming ownership of the copyrighted work when they clearly do not own it?

From the summary, power consumption is one advantage. 100% increase in performance for only a 44% increase in power. It makes sense - you can use the same amount of energy to spin the platters (which is presumably the biggest drain), while the only extra power consumption is the second actuator's hardware and associated control circuitry.

What I'm confused about is that simply taking out a loan to buy a house is already similar to rent-to-own - whatever you pay towards the principal builds equity, while the portion of your monthly payment that goes towards interest is effectively your "rent".

I'm also very unsure as to why the TFA makes owning sound so bad. Its argument seems to be centered entirely around "but your value might go down" - renting doesn't fix that either, it just offloads the problem onto someone else (or onto everyone, in the case of publicly-owned housing). Not saying that's a reason to wholly discount public housing, but it just doesn't make sense as an argument against ownership.

No, just burn them and don't replace them with anything. Web sites SHOULD be completely isolated from one another.

It’s also much better to use a badge because it hoovers up the absolute minimum amount of data - you badged in at X time, you badged out a Y time. Unlike a phone where it knows exactly where you are at all times.

An interesting idea, but it seems like it tries to occupy a strange niche between a pure software stack like ZFS, and just splitting your storage out to a separate box entirely.

Trying to filter input is not how you effectively protect against injection, prepared statements are. That might have been good advice 15 years ago, not in 2021. Not saying you shouldn't validate input, but using it in place of statements is incredibly bad security. The sad part is, in many languages/libraries, it's not even any harder than using a string format.

I get a lot of “any loud noise is automatically gunshots”. Fireworks? Gunshots. Thunder? Gunshots. Transformer blows? Gunshots. It’s become completely useless for reporting any real problem due to the amount of wolf-criers (though you should generally be bringing that to the police, not a social network anyway).

How about permanently? It is an absolute joke that Comcast will sell you a 1gbit connection yet put a 1.2TB cap on it - you can blow through an entire month of cap in less than three hours. 1.2TB a month comes out to less than 4mbps!

It's really just something that needs to be baked in a bit lower in the stack. You could try to mitigate it by separating the prompt from the lock window itself, but that just mitigates rather than fixes. In order to truly fix it, you'd have to make it a first class citizen within X11 (or whatever replaces it some day) so that the only thing that could crash would be the entire X session. That, or more kernel-level, but then you're back to the original issue of "my assistive input widget doesn't work".

Well, except for the fact that every time bitcoin "crashes", you give it some time and it just comes back even higher. If we define "crash" as "losing approximately half its value or more", bitcoin has "crashed" at least 4 times now, but every "crash" still left it higher than the last.

The price isn't that far off from the original Tesla Roadster (which is also a , nor is it that far off from how much the original Hummer cost back in the day.

That wouldn’t work either, since the browsers are defaulting to DoH to an external service. You’d have to run an internal DoH server, with your internal entries, and point clients to that, which sounds exactly the same as split horizon DNS.
