It is (already). Private sector employees pay off their loans from the money paid by their private sector employers.
Well, yes, and I agree, but that means colleges would need to do some considerable belt tightening. There’s plenty of fat to trim, mostly as a result of the last quarter century of student loan policy.
Yea, but then the print head clogs up after the second time you refill it and you buy another expensive print head + ink from HP. Frankly, I think 99% of the reason they started integrating the print head with the…
I would. It’s really simple. The human threshold-of-hearing curve intersects the threshold-of-pain curve at about 20 kHz. Above that frequency (or thereabouts) the sound has to be so loud that it will literally…

Elgato's Eve app exposes all sorts of fun stuff in HomeKit that you can't do with the native Home app. I get the impression they want you to use other apps to access HomeKit (the Home app didn't even exist for the first…
And you can't even upgrade the Studio past 96GB now.
A good rule of thumb across most makes is to take the EPA range number and multiply by 0.85, and that’s what you’ll get at a constant 70-75 mph in moderate weather (say, 55-85 degrees) with the climate control on. Of…

It really depends on what kind of class it is, but at most schools: * If 1/3 of calculus physics for engineers fail, they take it next semester. * If 1/3 of gen-ed physics for poets fail, the professor better have a…
The USAF is not subject to (most) FAA regulations. As far as I know this also extends to training: the USAF does not follow either of the FAA’s Part 61 or 141 flight training syllabi. So bringing up parts 61 and 141…
I’m very curious where you get the idea that flying does not involve algebra or trigonometry or calculus. How would you calculate a crosswind component from the runway heading and reported wind speed and direction…
Well, sure, but first semester performance is also a good predictor of second semester performance. And second semester of third, and so on. But more to the point: If you do poorly in your first semester and drop out,…
Do you think that LLM leaderboards don’t? Do you think a Llama 3 is going to beat an Opus 4.7 on any leaderboard? The real issue is that standardized tests disenfranchise lower SES students less than any other metric.…

How much physics has changed between Kitty Hawk and today?
As the other replier mentioned, that won't work. What would work is to mill a knife edge into both the end plate and the can and use off-the-shelf copper Conflat ("CF") gaskets, which are available in a large number of…
California itself produces a substantial amount of oil. A mile off Interstate-5 in the southern Central Valley, and you can’t tell you’re not in Texas oil country. Santa Barbara regularly has oil leaks from the offshore…

Ding ding ding! This also neatly explains why Boomers were able to have a good life with just a high school diploma. Wikipedia has a good chart, but the short version is that having a high school diploma in 1965 meant…
Oh, but they already have that figured out. You can't become a licensed electrician without doing x hours of apprenticeship under licensed electrician. And each licensed electrician doesn't need more than one or two…
