Student loans should be able to go into bankruptcy to correct the market. That's it. Nothing else is needed. It would fix the problem with the diploma mills and degrees that don't recoup the investment. Obviously people would decl

Unless apple buys TSMC and every other digital foundry then yeah that's a distinct possibility. Otherwise no, there are many reasons to use a slower, outdated architecture whether for its open nature or support. I feel bad for intel if

I thought the alternative to twitter would be maston[0]. It's 'uncensored' federated twitter clone that anyone can create a node and create a social community of their choosing. Not sure how "Parler" is going to be

Honestly surprised there hasn't been more work put into designing an open source electric car. While open source doesn't necessarily mean it's secure and bug free - it does bring a sense of security that I can look at the cod

I also wanted to use a music service that supports the artists more and found that Napster[0](not the old P2P client) pays out the most royalties to artists. It works pretty well but obviously isn't as popular as spotify and doesn&#x27

The main problem with the US interstate train system is that it's run on freight train lines. Amtrak and Acela do not actually own the railway they use and they can only go a certain speed due to the grade of the track. I don't th

How would they know that they "opens the source code"? How would they prove that in a court of law that they didn't reverse engineer it? Seems very fishy to me....

I hope Joe Rogan sticks to his guns and refuse to change anything. Obviously he said some controversial things in the past(I am personally more annoyed how he drones about elk meat and health supplements) but it's how he is. He doesn&#

I wish there was a way to define your own directory structure within calibre(i.e. tag>topic>bookname vs author>bookname) as I like to sync my calibre with drop box and browse the files from my e-reader. Right now you need calibre t

It's still kinda unbelievable that the largest and most valued electric car maker in the world is naming their cars from scenes that elon thought was funny.[0] What a time to be alive. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

If you played Rare games from the 90s you would understand. Also those games while not considered 'bad' weren't exactly considered system sellers.

Holy sh!t. Bethesda is huge! Well I was just thinking the other day that Microsoft really doesn't have any first party studio that are really as good as Sony's first party. IMO they didn't release a game 'this' gen

dtube is an interesting alternative to youtube. It's a youtube clone built on ipfs. The only problem it doesn't have the same amount of content as youtube - nobody does.

lol was that udacity? If so, I don't think colleges will have to worry about competing with them. The problem is not 'job training' but that there are actual jobs available. If google really wanted to lower unemployment they

They probably want to cut down on people reselling their accounts with the games in them. That's what I did when I sold my oculus during the quarantine. Why shouldn't I be able to resell my games just because they're digital

Did you notice that the new steam interface came after epic store started getting free games every month? I have no idea why people are so against the epic store. I have to start believing its steam marketing team at work.

I am happy there's the epic store as it seems to be the only thing to get Gabe and his cronies off their asses and start finishing games again. Source 2 engine has nothing to do with why they scrapped like 4-5 games, it's because

Just finished Last of Us 2 and I am pretty disappointed. The gameplay is tight and it's fun but the story is absolute garbage. Abby and Ellie are such unlikable protagonists and the political undertone of the story is overbearing. You

Yes draconian surveillance to keep the status quo. Your choices scrutinized by some faceless figure to keep things as they're 'suppose' to be(or worst yet to carry out an agenda).

It's because it can track the where abouts of everyone. It's a massive privacy issue. Do you want the gov't to know where you go, what you spend your money, and who you associate with? I sure as hell don't even if they w
