Comment Re:Stop forcing channel bundling? (Score 5, Insightful) 104

Why do you think that would be useful? They'd just set the pricing so you're mostly indifferent to whether you have the bundle or individual channels. Most people want one, maybe two channels out of each bundle, so they'd set the price for an individual channel at about 2/3rds of the price of a bundle.

What a defeatist attitude. Of course you can't have it all, but it's obviously possible to have a career and be a mother simultaneously, a majority of mothers do so successfully. There are some careers that are fairly incompatible with being a parent; serving on a submarine for example. But being a scientist can and should be a predictable 40 hour job completely compatible with parenthood.

> something has to lose out.

The loser will be all of us. If women have to choose between motherhood and being a scientist, many will choose motherhood and the world will have fewer scientists and more women peddling MLM schemes on Youtube because being an "influencer" is one of those jobs where you can set your own schedule and work around the baby.

You're operating under a common, but mistaken impression that University costs have increased rapidly. But actually tuition has increased less than inflation.

Sure the sticker price has increased a crazy amount, but the average amount paid has actually decreased. Scholarships and bursaries have increased more than tuition has increased, so the average paid is actually down.

The real lesson that needs to be spread is that nobody should be paying taking massive loans to pay full price for University. If your parents are rich they should be paying for it. If they aren't, there are lots of bursaries available.

You might need a massive loan to pay for the crazy cost of housing, but that's a general problem that (usually) can't be blamed on the Universities.

Joce640k's comment should be a reply to yours. The house never loses. Blackrock isn't putting their own money into the Bitcoin ETF. They're just making it possible for you to put your own in, and they take a management fee. If it goes up they get lots of management fees. If it collapses they just stop collecting fees, they're not out anything.
