AT&T buried a 240 fiber cable along the rural highway near my house a couple of years ago (I talked to one of the contractors). Meanwhile my CLEC DSL/POTS service on legacy AT&T wire becomes unusable during the rainy season. Fiber fiber everywhere, but not a strand to link.

The friendly local state university had both BA and BS Physics programs. The BA was less rigorous, and aligned with credential requirements for a K-8 general science teacher. After finally being cornered by long-ignored campus-wide and system-wide declining enrollment money troubles, the BA program was ended, and the BS program was rescued at the last moment.

The blurry lens of nostalgia forgets that core memory reads were always destructive. Each read had to latch and rewrite the contents after reading, or operate a specialized read-modify-write cycle. I have done discrete component diagnose and repair on core memory line drivers and sense amps.

Having been a victim of SMSG "new math" hastily introduced curriculum "innovation" where they didn't teach the teachers first, I remain skeptical of fads in education. This is doubly true when snake oil salesmen are involved. Speaking of oily money-eating snakes: Sam Altman.
