Maybe they could get a parent to co-sign. Or, they could finance per-semester instead of the whole 4-years. This would give the finance company an indication of the value of the education. Or businesses could sponsor students through college with an agreement for a certain number of years of service to the company afterwards. Some towns do this. There is always another path to your destination, if you're not closed minded.
Certainly, if the government was out of the student-loan-business, that would make room for actual businesses to take up the slack. Likewise, if the colleges didn't have a blank check in front of them, maybe tuition would become affordable, making the loans much smaller and the financing easier to obtain.
It's a cascade of changes all resulting from the elimination of one federal agency. How much private sector business is taken by federal agencies that can lose money year-after-year? It's in the best interest of a federal agency to spend more money each year - because this increases their budget.
Sure, I do...but I don't necessarily indent my code YOUR WAY. I indent to my preference.
Sometimes, I put entire if statements on a single line! Not to be contrary, but because they're just that damned simple. Of course, not in Python......
Modern astronomy is based on ancient astrology. Everything has to start somewhere. In the case of computer clocks, it isn't so much that our clocks are based on astrology, it's that timekeeping began by studying the stars - and in antiquity, that meant astrology.
Modern astronomy still uses some of the ancient astrological terms.
I hope there is some sort of Make sure you mix up the levers and calipers so the radio pairs aren't installed together on the same bike.
Yeah, no thanks. This sort of technology adds multiple potential points of failure to a system that is currently reliable and simple.
Whereas a bicycle brake system can experience a cable failure (among others which are shared with a wireless system, such as pads) a wireless system can experience transmitter failure, receiver failure, radio interference, battery failure (transmitter or receiver). This team tries to mitigate that potential failure by adding more transmitters. That reminds me of a SNL skit - Christopher Walken "More Cow Bell"
In my time as a cyclist (3 decades), I've only experienced brake communication failure (broken cable) a couple of times - after which I learned to stop buying cheap cables and I've never experienced brake failure again.
I realize this is not a product that will likely see the light of day. It was an exercise in the reliability of critical communication as indicated by a quote early in TFA:
"Wireless brake" and "hit by a truck" sound the same to a cyclist
I always had a rule when purchasing PCs. Now, this rule has since lost much of it's impact, since one of the manufacturers went poof, and the other two merged -
Never buy a computer with PACK/PAQ in the name. At the time, this included Hewlett Packard, Compaq, and Packard Bell
Although losing much of it's impact, the rule still stands (at least for me)
I'm right there with you, and I would add that typing on an actual keyboard is infinitely easier than trying to type on a touchscreen that is constantly second-guessing my intent and requires me to choose several keyboard modifiers to achieve any non-alphanumeric character.
I own an iPad for one purpose - development. Many of my clients demand that the sites I build will look good on an iPad and the only way to reliably test it is to have an iPad.
Personally, I hate the thing. I would much rather use a laptop.
Oh yeah, because solar stills produce hydrogen and oxygen as well as water by utilizing electricity.
The only thing they have in common is that they use the sun (although, in very different ways). The artificial leaf doesn't produce water, at all. Clean water is a byproduct of utilizing the hydrogen as a fuel (as is heat).
Nothing like a solar still.
Although we don't know a price on these devices, they are made from non-exotic (read common) materials. Even if they cost more than pocket change, the longer they are in operation the more power they produce, only requiring water. Eventually, the value of the power produced will exceed the cost of the device.
When you need to resort to copying search results from Google, you pretty much lose my support. I'm not a Google shareholder, but I do recognize the current king. Certainly, when something better comes along I will use it. Bing isn't it.

Sure do, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac....oh wait, those are federal.....

And what's the flip side?
Traditional financing. You finance a car, a house, a TV, why not an education?
This puts college education back in the private sector (that is, without government meddling). Let the market decide.
What, you normally don't indent your code?
Sure, I do...but I don't necessarily indent my code YOUR WAY. I indent to my preference.

That's a different industry - Fruit of the Loom makes the filters, and Gas-X makes the fuel system additive.

Laws? We don't use laws anymore. Any policy or signing statement will do. Heck, we'll settle for enforcing laws from other countries. Our own laws though, they're flawed.

Why can't it be a burger that actually tastes good and probably isn't made out of mealworm - like:
In-n-Out Double-Double
and when they take the next step and double the number of layers:
It can be the Four-by-Four
(for those of you who've never been to an In-n-Out - this isn't on the menu - wear a bib....and gloves)
... go nuts ...
HAH!
pun intended?
It's a different application. These cells aren't (necessarily) for generating electricity, they're for generating fuel. Water is a by-product.

Google might answer:
"Bing is that search engine that copies our results, isn't it?"
I'm suing you for emotional distress caused by misquoting Monty Python in your subject.
TFA indicates that the heat from any source is converted to specific light frequencies, then to electricity.
As far as I understand the process (from TFA), heat is required but not cold.
Both linked articles are short, you should read them.
So, it rewrites my HTML, but what about my PHP (Perl, Python, your_scripting_language_here)?

While the world sees Bing as a distant No. 2 search engine
This is Slashdot, where curse words in posts and comments are allowed. So, it's perfectly OK to say "Bing...shit search engine"
Or, like playmate of the year, they know it will be HOT!
