Won't happen. Why? Because the government uses the future of their students to guarantee a seemingly unending flow of cash. Lower prices? Ha! They will raise them until the government cuts off their funding.

Or, apparently, when people stop going to college because of how expensive it is.

Colleges are toxic cesspits of ideology, where education often takes a back seat to politics. The ROI on most degrees has been non-existent for some time.

The entire higher education culture is due for a correction.

I'm tired of dealing with substandard IT services, from both India AND China. The language barrier is one thing, but I don't think I've ever spoke or worked with an agent from either country that could do anything other than read from a script. Once the problem deviates from the script they were useless.

Granted; US support is a mixed bag. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it sucks, but at least sometimes it IS great. That's not something I've ever experienced with Indian or Chinese support.

It's been more than a meme.

As the article points out, it's been a question in philosophy since antiquity. At least 2500 years of discussion, probably more. We have no way to know how different people process what they see without peeking inside the brain and comparing. This is newsworthy as it's the closest we've come to verifying it.

There are still open questions about perception and interpretation in addition to just neural pathways, particularly around those with different sensitivities, but that's at least a start.

Color blindness missing one, two, or three sensitivities, tetrachromats or having a fourth sensitivity, shifted sensitivities that peak at slightly different places for different people, all of them lead to ways the colors could be perceived and interpreted differently by different people. It's a good start at research, but there's a lot more that can be answered.

It's worth noting that current nutrition guidelines pegs recommended protein @ ~50 grams a day for an adult male, which is far below the 1.6 grams discussed in this article.

Let's take your average 160lb dude. That's around 72kgs. The article says there's no benefit beyond 1.6 grams per kg, so he should be eating 115.2 grams per day, far exceeding the "recommended" amount of ~50 grams.

Clearly, some of you have never stopped, collaborated or listened.

Kind of an apples to oranges comparison. There are a lot of fundemental differences between Denmark and US which would impact the outcome.

Instead, let's take a look at government funded healthcare right in the US: The VA. A quick look should tell us everything we need to know about expanding such a system to cover all citizens.

Oh...oh no. No no no no.

Mind you, the VA is aimed at our soldiers. The people we depend on to defend our borders. Look what we do to those we should be celebrating! Now imagine what would happen to your average, ordinary every day joe. Or worse; imagine it gets politized by "the other side" ( which ever side you don't like ); can you imagine the republicans in charge of universal healthcare and you need an abortion? Or the democrats in charge and a heart attack victim comes in with a "Donor" dot on his DL and a MAGA hat on?

Thank you, no. There are far too many horrible, yet likely outcomes to this idea.

Hey MS, I have an idea: How about you FINISH BAKING YOUR OS. It's a radical idea, but it just might work.

Streamline your control panels, make sure they all *work*. That'd go a long way in making your OS better.

Then you could take a quick look at usability; it shouldn't take me a dozen clicks to do something I routinely need access to. Oh, and stop fucking with the start menu if your so hot on people using it.

I could see voice input being a niche ( for those with accessibility issues ), but it's not going to replace the mouse and keyboard, anymore than touchscreen did.

...but charging speed improvements would minimize the importance of this metric. I don't care if I can only go 200miles on a single charge if it takes less than 3-5 minutes to recharge it.

Neither the FBI's assessment nor the CDC's assessment agree with your recommendations. They have a lot of heavily-researched recommendations filled with rigorous citations and backed by tragic data.

Research over the past 30 years is clear on how to do it: First and foremost, socioeconomic disparity needs to be addressed. Second, availability of mental health care to minors, especially by decoupling it from parental employment, or said differently, universal mental health care for minors at the very least. Third, external groups auditing schools for signs of bullying, social classes or have/have-nots, especially by administrators and teachers; data shows schools and districts cannot self-assess because the ones doing the assessments are part of the bias, and typically blind to their actions.

The data shows, and the FBI summary is clear in describing, that regulations on firearms themselves are statistically irrelevant. In fact, the FBI summary explicitly calls out that is one of the biggest pieces of misinformation and false claims, the demonstrably wrong belief that easy access to weapons is the most significant risk factor. The data shows it has virtually no effect whatsoever. Anyone wanting to commit violence at school can do so.

The four-prong assessment model, looking at the personality of the student, the family dynamics, the school dynamics, and interplay/leakage between any of those with society at large, tends to give the best view of risks. Schools and local officials especially tend to downplay their role, dismissing teacher favoritism to cliques as "school spirit", "supporting the team", and similar, and dismissing their prejudice because they are blind to it, believing it justified.

Unfortunately the research-backed guidance isn't popular with lawmakers. The plans cost money. Addressing the disparity is labeled terms like "woke" and "communist". Universal healthcare labeled "socialized medicine" and given labels like "death panels" as though insurance companies don't do the same today. The republican party is against it claiming individual liberties, the democratic party is against it due to high costs.

Ironically I am probably contributing to all three since I game on Windows, Mac and Steam Deck.

Right, I was ignorant of something...so I asked a question. That's generally how things work.

whataboutism is an argumentative fallacy. Doesn't apply here.

So...yes, you were just being a cunt.

It's called a legitimate question; I didn't have the data you had, so I asked the question I was curious about.

Don't be a cunt.

Given the unit will undoubtedly spend most of the time "off", what about power consumption when the unit is turned off? We know most appliances today aren't really "off" when they're "off", so why not look at that?

They obviously had IT in some capacity; whoever they had set it up did them dirty if they didn't emphasize the importance of backups.

I know; I've been "that guy" who helped out a small company get on their IT feet, as it were. I always stressed the importance of backup routines, of how to take care of their data. I gave them scenarios where, if I get called for X, I won't be able to help them if they weren't on top of their backup routine. I always asked them what that'd mean to them and their business. I made a point of driving this home.

Of course I've received those calls, and I've asked the question, "What do the backups look like?". If they're my customers their backups are usually up to date and ready to go. An evening's worth of work, maybe a weekend, and they're back in business.

If they aren't, then my price just went up. WAAAY up.
