Even more administrators? And we wonder why education keeps getting more expensive.

> Aside from that, there are people who go into consulting and gain a lot of skills If what the author claims is true and consulting is basically making up numbers to fit some conc…

> "make something people want" It's more of a "the other options suck" kind of thing with Tesla, no? > Would I have bought something else if I could get it? Maybe.

That's one way of encouraging investment in green energy sources but may not be perfect. Again, it's a wait and see game. Further, for a firm starting up mining ops your cost isn't…

Exactly. If bitcoin mining drives demand for solar, leads to solar production jobs in the US and increases R&D leading to more efficient panels - awesome. But if companies start to…

The issue is finance firms will get (are getting) involved. It becomes easy to purchase an inefficient energy production source (old coal, natural gas, etc.) that cities/counties/s…

Being subpoenaed makes sense. If SquareSpace (or cloudflare, namcheap, etc.) is required to police content, hosting goes back to costing hundreds or thousands of dollars a month ju…

How do these laws affect companies like SquareSpace[1] (companies which provide a site builder and hosting)? If someone builds a site which violates these laws is SquareSpace held …

Are you accounting for family connections? High income families tend to have connections which can help. If your parents are good friends with a lawyer at a top law firm you no lon…

A gift is just that, a gift. The party giving the gift isn't expecting anything in return. In the streaming example, you're providing entertainment for "gifts". That's an exchange …

Hoping ARM fixes some of the heat issues though and the transition is successful.

Yup, kept my 2015 13" pro till I bought the 16" a few months ago. The touch bar is meh for me though. I find it quicker to change volume with physical keys than touch bar but it's …

It's fast, memory efficient and you're productive in it. It also follows write once, run anywhere without any dependencies. Downside is no generics but otherwise great.

> FWIW, I personally think distance learning is underrated, although I have been doing it for years so I've had time to become accustomed to it. I can understand why some students …

Cool. My favourite class in University went from low level, transistors, to gates to assembly. We used logisim and programmed our logic to an FPGA board. Final logic lab was buildi…

Not really family plans these days. Any additional lines are charged as normal and you just get the convenience of a single bill - no discount. Or at least that's what the rogers r…

ya, but limited hardware IIRC. Considered it.

> A $600 price difference for this machine is probably worth it in my mind. Agreed. Recently bought the 16 inch MBP after considering Lenovo and Dell. Prices between the machines w…

As mentioned by the other commenter one of the big features is service discovery and load balancing - it seems like micro is stepping on k8s feet here and is a bit more than just a…

yup. Micro seems like a framework + platform for running micro services (ideally on bare metal). (Not saying there's anything wrong with that though)

Would I use micro on top of k8s? Doesn't seem to make sense to mix the two as far as I can tell.

> What university is that? It sounds awful. Rather not say, but a few do that. Plus in something like CS there's an hour long wait for office hours which are 2 hours twice a week w…

My undergrad is very focused on self-study. Prof's have gone the the extent of saying, "I won't waste time showing you this, you could just go on youtube". Flipped classroom models…

> I don't think it would save the university money, if done well. IMO universities these days are mainly in the real estate business. The maintenance on a building with multiple 1k…
