It's nice to know that the other people watching a show are also at the same point as you are (or relatively close), allowing you to speculate on what might happen next in the time between episodes. I also like looking forward to the n

> "They will take HBO linear and call it HBO Linear,” he said. “That is HBO if you really want to watch it on somebody else’s schedule.” Am I the only one who likes shows being made available once a week, rather than all at once?

This is a no tuition guarantee, not a no parental contribution guarantee. In effect they are saying that if you make under 125,000, you'll only pay 20-25k for living expenses (room/board/textbooks/etc), which is similar

As a student at Princeton, I know I'd never have been able to attend if it were not for their extremely generous financial aid. Princeton's aid package lowered the total cost to well below the other schools I applied to (mostly Ne

I believe there are proposals to allow pruning the blockchain, but I'm not 100% sure on the details. To guarantee a transaction goes through you have to wait for it to be confirmed, but most transactions really aren't that importa

I'd agree with the broader point that this guy is making, he's being exploited by the university, and doesn't owe the school any additional work. That being said, he does owe his students the chance to at least look at the cu
