You think the main cause of tuition at universities rising... Is republicans pulling funding?

1. Lawyer up. 2. Get the hell away from civilization. 3. Keep to myself, get most of my social interaction from semi-anonymous online message boards. So, not a ton would change, except I'd own a lot more land a lot further from a population center.

Here's the best read I can give you on the subject (Well, at least most of what I said). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Closing_of_the_American_Mind Couple the content of that book with unlimited student loans from the federal government, and you get sky-rocketing tuition with a lower...

It’s going to be a while. We’re never going to achieve AGI with LLMs, and we are already extremely close to the ceiling of what we can achieve with current electrical and training data volume constraints. This current generation of AI was more marketing smoke than actual fire. There’s some value...

Meh. Academic freedom has been dead for decades. Tenure is flimsy as hell, hiring favors the politically connected, and perverse incentives discourage meaningful research in many fields. Universities as a whole need a major shake up that favors the wellbeing of their paying customers (the...

Go to a McDonald’s in a HCOL area. You order your own food and pay at a kiosk, there’s nobody at the front counter, some even have robots flipping patties in the back. Just a couple folks to man the drive thru window and put out any fires.

Now THIS is the intel I come to HN for.

“Estimated” is doing the heavy lifting there. That account probably puts some multi-million dollar price tag on Stirtz alone. Who knows, maybe 3 or 4 million. Iowa isn’t paying him that.

That's one of the selling points of a slower pace of play. Ben made pretty clear that he'd like to play faster than he did last year, but not at a blazing pace. I would guess that his ideal is more middle of the pack in the B1G, while playing in a way that finds a balance between rest, injury...

You know, this is a "goofy" ass quote: >“We couldn’t be more excited about what this opportunity will offer our student-athletes, schools, and supporters as they experience an elite basketball environment at Hilton and an awesome new tournament community in CyTown and Ames,” IHSAA executive...

Second all of this. YouTubeTV is the better product. Ultimately, I stomached the price of Fubo for a couple months at the start of the MLB season last year to watch blacked out games. I now live in a place where six teams aren't blacked out (seriously, what the hell is that model by the MLB?)...

A large amount of my knowledge in this area is infantile. I'm going to preface this with a couple general principles. 1. I believe in free trade. 2. What we currently have... Isn't really free trade. And I mean, before the tariff stupidity. When we live in a world where China, a "Communist...

Hell, things went to a not great place for Wisconsin pretty darn quickly. For a while, I envied Wisconsin. In hindsight, I'll take the stability we've had.

I think Stirtz is pretty much a consensus second round pick. I'm sure he's hoping to improve to a first round pick.

$.04 per click you say? I have got to get this side hustle.

I still haven't seen contract details. Also curious.

For him, I'd think if he believes in Ben, a couple good seasons would set him up very nicely to take a look at HC opportunities of his own.

I think the other side of this is that if you're going to tell your developmental prospects (through over-use of the portal) that you don't have faith in them and their hard work will not pay off, you'll see them go to other programs themselves. And sometimes that's the right move for them. But...

That's a wild and cool connection. Thanks for sharing!
