You could still be talking about the US system. Student loans went from helping students afford college to helping college be unaffordable without taking out a mortgage on one's future. It wouldn't were it not coupled with a misguided social agenda that sees college as a way to erase inequality as if it magically made everyone smarter for attending, and used as a way to cover up the failures of the primary and secondary education systems. If a high school can say that 50% or more of their students go on to college, it looks like they're doing a great job even though the students can't read. The colleges provide "remedial" classes, at full price, to cover up the fact that the incoming students weren't qualified to graduate, let alone move on to college. If half of them flunk out, that's fine. The college made a bundle, the lender makes a bundle, and the high schools still get to fake their numbers.
Well thanks for bursting my balloon, raining on my parade, breaking my heart and ruining my day. Yeah, maybe it's the article's fault for deceptively getting my hopes up, but I'm making you mop up my tears anyhow.
It's funny you should say that. Thanks to the football game running predictably (though never accounted for) long, my DVR only recorded half of it. When I tried to watch it last night, the very first thing I saw was Oprah trying to convince people to hate Trump. I happen to remember seeing her loudly proclaim that he should run for President.
I have Netflix and Charter, but otherwise I'm with you.
I thought it might be like other network's streaming service, where you can sign in with a cable account. Doesn't look like it is, and the first episode was delayed by football, so instead of recording it, I have the last half of 60 minutes and the first half of Discovery.
Makes sense to me. What is it, tens or hundreds of millions of little swimmers that could be produced daily? That's a lot of unverified copy operations. Plenty of opportunities for mutation.
I would have used "£", but my keyboard doesn't have it so I just followed the article. I did think something seemed odd about that, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
But I don't think you followed my meaning about "breaking college". Yes, the UK has some of the top universities in the world. The US has most of the rest. Apparently in both cases the cost of attending has skyrocketed and the benefits from attending have been declining.
Now I can't speak to much about the UK's system, but in the US we're sending people to college who shouldn't even have graduated high school (don't meet basic standards), and those that do graduate come away with a degree that ends up only being worth what a high school diploma was worth in the 80's. They end up in jobs that you don't need a degree to get (or didn't until college turned into the place you finished high school), with massive debt that puts them at a permanent disadvantage.
We broke college by trying to send everyone, regardless of whether they were qualified to go, driving up demand far too fast for supply to keep up. Naturally, this drives costs waaaaay up, and drives quality down. I could go on for a while, but I have work to do. Work that, like 75% of college graduates now, has nothing at all to do with my degree.
50,000BP of debt for 3000BP more a year? I know college in the US is increasingly expensive and decreasingly useful, but I didn't know the UK had the same problem.
I guess it's good to know it isn't just us, but it's also sad to know it isn't just us.
"Elon Musk is the most-famous Cassandra of artificial intelligence"? No. Just the most recently famous. And hardly the most important. You want a real AI Cassandra, try James Cameron (The Terminator) or Arthur C. Clarke (2001).
But you can't silence someone because you think their humor is in poor taste.
That said, I can understand why the creator is upset. Bill Watterson was pretty pissed off about "peeing Calvin", but I don't know offhand how his lawsuits turned out. In his case, people were selling counterfeit merchandise, so there's a financial aspect not present with Pepe.
That's my question. Well, that's my question about 5% of those, as the article states 95% of them were spam bots.
But yeah, how many were terrorists, how many were "not preferred opinions", and how many were just pissed at their governments for clamping down on free speech?
Wouldn't it be better to use a claim that isn't demonstrably false? Last 15 years goes back to 2002, Maddow had a rather famous kerfuffle after she got a hold of his 2005 returns.
My info was compromised, so was my special lady's. I'm not happy about it or how pitiful EF's offered remedy is. I'll happily accept regulating them out of existence.
Maybe, but then again the average person likes sports. The average person is also of average intelligence.
Above average people can like sports too though. My dad played college football (albeit at a small college) before he became a senior oncology and immunology researcher at a pharmaceutical lab. Condoleeza Rice was the provost of Stanford, National Security Advisor and Secretary of State, but her dream job was NFL Commissioner.
That said, I frikkin hate sports. Especially when they pre-empt The Simpsons.

They've got to be hungry.

I might have missed out entirely. Screw CBS.
My favorite part was 'bassist'. Dirty string-thumpers.

Can you clarify? I don't like being wrong, but if I am I want to know how I am.
And.... Holy Crap we have them now!!!
This is huge! Yet so incredibly small...

at least one generation of students!

Oh no! Whatever will we do without fleas riding pets into our homes and forcing us to fumigate? Hartz could go out of business!
Idiot.

I'm not signing up for another service, especially one that's for only one company's stuff. But I love those movies, so now I'm pissed.
Yeah, because the software needs more testing on the road which should now be easier to do, right?
Well, side impact is where the 2003 is weakest, and it seems like he came through just fine.
Yup! It's a new Boston tradition!
