Actually between the courses, the books, the exam fees and the lack of any competition that number is fine.
At the time nobody cares about classical education, the certs. mattered more.
At least until the value and reputation was gutted by the Indians.

Not too long after the millennium you could write your own ticket with a good cert. The demand was huge because of the networking boom but also because certs like CCNP could cost ~$60k.
This was until Indian out-slavers figured they could replace more US workers if they passed whole classes on cert. exams based on the results of the highest grade and destroyed the value of any of certs through incompetence.
Unfortunately one it is common place it will not take long before political activists start to complain about local surveillance from same said body cams.
The lock in on tech that South Asians (primarily Indians) have on tech in the US is causing chafing with diversity values. Since most visa maggots do not have a legitimate credentials big tech is trying to end run around their own requirements to get more cheap, exploitable labor if only to bring down the remuneration for anyone else with any skills.
The problem is that higher ed. has a lock on the market. If they feel they will not get enough citizen students then they could easily fill the seats with foreign nationals. These foreign students not only drive up tuition, they compete for grants further driving up the costs for citizens and thus tuition borrowing. Sounds like outsourcing, right? Also There was this implied promise that if you did the work and bore the expensive of a college degree that you would somehow be more successful. Then they either moved manufacturing to slave labor totalitarian states and gave the rest of the work to outsourcing maggot wranglers.
Seems like Innisfil tailored the contract for Uber. Does Lyft work in Canada?
Anyway, since Uber drivers bear almost all of the costs how will Uber fulfill the contract if drivers can not profit?
Who do you sue when the Uber driver is exhausted from doing 20 fares that day and has an accident and his insurance refuses to cover anything since they found out he was operating the vehicle as a taxi. I suppose it ought to be Innisfil for picking this evil company.
I doubt that the CPC would ever do this as they like money. Considering the huge amount of computing the PRC has dumped into mining if the CPC decided to shut it all down could the slack be picked up elsewhere?
Apple has a serious problem with storage on MBP. For their price points they should start at 512, with 1T being the norm and all lines having a slight increase to access 2T. If iMac is going to be like MBP why would anyone care?
The STEM lead never made any sense when SV CEOs used it as an excuse to give away US jobs to maggot wranglers or bring in maggots from maggot wranglers using the corrupt and broken US visa system. Most modern programming does not need a storng math background and engineering is more about applied maths anyway.
When the television was first made available to the public both content creators and consumers had no idea what to do with it. This is partially why old sets looked like furniture so that they would find a place in the household like radio did. People are still struggling with determining where to use smartphones thus you have idiots using their amazingly bright smartphones in inappropriate places like the cinema or in restaurants and then walking into the path on oncoming traffic possibly being hit by other idiots distracted by using their smartphones.
India is also famous for its fondness for inexpensive smartphones. Apple is anything but inexpensive.
So this about Apple trying to create a maggot farm for outsourcing the creation of crappy, badly written apps as if Apple Store does not have enough of these.
What is actually odd is that they are being so blatant about it. How hard would it be for them to surreptitiously do this and really do you think they are not doing this already.
The PRC had a fake Apple Store selling knock-offs of Apple products with fake Apple employees who did not know they worked for Apple. Is anyone surprised when it is common knowledge that many of the facilities in the PRC that make this stuff often run between shifts where they use the same lines to make knock offs and that if a Chinese company wants something and has the juice in the CPC you better give it to them or your workers strike or you have a fire at the factory.
Does anyone remember when IBM actually used to make PCs? Towards the end just before they sold out to Lenovo who was making them anyway they had a massive recall on a few on the desktops because they would spontaneously fail. This turned out to be caused by a PRC knockoff of a number of the caps used on the main board. The PRC and/or Foxconn's suppliers had stolen plans for the caps from a Japanese company but they had actually stolen a beta formulation and so the caps in these IBM desktops would leak and destroy the main board. This was probably a major contributor forcing IBM out of an industry it had created.
That would be nice for a new installation but what to do with existing parking. Installing this after the fact would likely be expensive and so they will not likely do it. What would be more realistic would be metered charging stations along the idea or parking meters. You would swipe your card or use your smartphone to pay for it and lock the charger to the car provided electric cars can standardize their attachment points.
There are always the other problems with electric, that you are putting the tailpipe elsewhere, that electric cannot meet the distances travelled in rural areas and when talking about a large part of the US tolerate the colder weather mainly that grids cannot store electricity.
In the US the problem is that all education is subsidized and in higher ed it is very easy for them to fill a seat with a non-citizen so there is really no impetus for education to reduce costs. Oddly the closest competition for them seems to be online learning but unless it is remote learning in a degree program online courses seem to lack the cachet of a degree.
Oh its no big deal, it is just M$ being evil again, we all should be used to that now. They want lusers to go on to ad supported W10. This will last until the utter raeg rises from researchers and business types forces them to recant lest these guys replace Windows with Ubuntu/Mint.
In the noughties a lot of the finance types on Wall street were taking Prozac to be more aggressive. One wonders what drugs the executives in SV are on?
It was more desperation than genius. The CPC realized that their survival was at stake when the PLA refused to remove the protesters out of Tienanmen Square because they had not been paid in a year. There had long been an implied relationship between the CPC and the Chinese people in that their antics would be tolerated only as long as a majority of the people could be fed.

This has interesting consequences in a legal system with no presumption of innocence.

And yet executive compensation has skyrocketed.

Just another reason to drop Verizon.

Does anyone actually use Evi(L)e launcher?
Even if you disable automatic updates M$ will eventually require Crater for activation. Maybe it is time to consider Linux?

Now its time to indict the rest of them.
The story missed a big one, visa maggots.
Tencent would have taken a close look at the books and the tech before investing close to $2B.

That is what happens when you educate foreign nationals in your universities and make all of your stuff in their country.
