“When my brother is fourteen, I’m going to get him a job here. Then, my mother says, we’ll take the baby out of the ‘Sylum for the Half Orphans.”

That is quite a quote. Hard to believe that wasn't long ago.

Your numbers make sense from what I've seen in private sector. And meet the common sense threshold as well.

Whether the numbers are either wrong or if that is truly what support costs look like at a university would be interesting to know.

Weird you are getting down voted. And you provided sources for your assertions.

Prices aren’t the problem.

China turning off your transportation is.

So... stop using prices to justify anti-competition arguments and just don't buy from them.

What point are you trying to make? I'm honestly not sure. Is it that China is polluting a lot? Or a little? That they are making environmental progress? Or none?

What percent difference in reduction do you see if they didn't sign the treaty?

Doesn't matter they committed to a target and exceed it. We see two countries with stagnation (changes below 1%) and regressions... one is the us.

I think it does matter. My questions is, was their progress in any way related to the treaty, or would it have happened anyways?

Nobody can know and that's why it's interesting to you... arguing in bad faith. Take your unfalsifiable counterfactual challenge and go back to debate club.

Or, we can look at their communicated plans before the Paris agreement...

It allows the refrigerator to run two different zones in terms of humidity. Evidently, it really does keep fruits and vegetables lasting longer.

There are two equals buttons?

The key layout on the calculator (DA or desk accessory) exactly matches the numeric keypad of the Lisa keyboard, but the big '=' key is labelled 'Enter' on the physical keypad. You could use the keypad to use the calculator, which I remember doing on a "Macintosh XL" (a Lisa running Mac OS) Having the big key be '=' was a nice usability feature since 'Enter' didn't make much sense in the calculator DA.

If you search for pictures of "Original Lisa Keyboard" you can see that the layout is the same. However, in the pictures I found the key that corresponds to the small '=' in the screenshot in the article is labelled '-' and there appear to be some other differences. I don't remember these differences or any rationale for them.

Update: They screenshot in the article exactly matches the Macintosh Plus keyboard -- which is a keyboard I actually owned. Although I used Mac XL before getting my Plus, it's probably this keyboard that I'm remembering:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_keyboards#Macintosh_Plus...

It’s odd because the original Macintosh had a smaller keyboard without a numpad, however one was offered separately. It’s interesting because this “original” keypad has different placement or operator keys than the Plus keyboard.

the first equals is a boolean test, like "A=B, True or False", the second equals button is an evaluate mandate, like "2+2" -> = -> 4. Evil bit of code under the hood with the treplicate stack

I think you do a good job of high-lighting the underlying problem.

Which is not being discussed enough.

And that the current situation can go on a long time but not forever.

"And as for your second paragraph, it has that thing I don't understand that so many people seem to have in their brains that if you explain why a thing is true, it is no longer true. I do not understand it."

This is an interesting observation. I've seen the same thing.

I think the clue is in the "it is a choice"...perhaps they are perceiving seeing some sort of judgement being made of Atari implicit in your argument???

In other words, it can be true at the same time that (1) The are not moving on and (2) It is a choice.

And #2 does not invalidate #1.

How exactly do you think JPM would benefit from fake customers???

When fake customers generate real customers.

The way this is different is because those sites were faking it to make their site seem more active to users. Here there's no draw to users it's ONLY for the valuation and purchase. JPM wanted 4 million people unable to fill out a FAFSA but willing to pay to have it done. The exact kind of person who fucks up credit cards and pays $$$ of interest for years.

A person or group working there benefited from it, which is enough for it to happen.

2008 was that at an endemic scale.

Nothing to do with 2008. JP Morgan and the other banks made fees by selling mortgage-backed securities where the real credit risk was obscured by packaging good mortgages with bad.

JP Morgan spending $175m for hot air isn't something they can spin into gold.
