Did you forget the first and biggest one?

All those athletic scholarships are paid for by the sports teams. It’s free money for the university. And the football team funds all the other sports, so a lot of football money goes to the university as tuition for an out-of-state soccer player or something.

Plus who do you think the sports teams pay rent and facilities fees to? The university who owns their facilities. The teams are non-profit so football has little incentive to save money.

An Ivy League education is an expensive luxury product for the parents. That way they can brag to their peers about their children. It’s well known that the main benefit of an Ivy education is networking. That’s because of the connections that the parents have, not because the education is better.

With the exception of maybe Princeton or Columbia, top research isn’t coming out of Ivy League schools. And the good research they do have is because they pay the top people more. They don’t have smarter students, they just have more resources.

MIT isn’t an Ivy. Cal Tech isn’t an Ivy. Stanford isn’t. UC Berkeley and University of Michigan definitely aren’t.

It depends on the school.

Most fans don’t realize that not only do athletic departments pay the university market rate for the tuition, room and board of its student athletes, but also the upcharge for out-of-state students.

At nearly one-third of the schools I polled back in 2012 for my book, the university took a specified percentage of each donation made to the athletic department.

At many universities I polled, the university and athletic department split licensing revenue 50/50. So, even if the sweatshirt sold in the bookstore is specifically branded for the football program, that money is divided between the university and athletics.

Also, it looks like the “Central Valley” in CA extends uphill to the top of the Sierras and Lake Tahoe. Plus “Socal” is as far north as Carmel.

No. Carmel is the Central Coast. You might as well add that to the Central Valley and add some new group for the Sierra Nevada mountains that includes northern CA above Sacramento. The north coast is culturally and geographically similar to the Sierras. “Socal” doesn’t extend farther north than Santa Barbara.

A real solution is to require every single employee in the company to review these videos equally. If the Executive Leadership Team experiences this once, the issue will be fixed. Probably by banning repeat problem users.

The west will now have to make a judgment on whether to help Pezeshkian or maintain the blanket of sanctions due to the continued escalation of Iran’s nuclear programme, and its support for Hezbollah in Lebanon and Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

Iran is enriching uranium at near weapons-grade levels and maintains a stockpile large enough to build several nuclear weapons, but does not yet have the warheads or missile technology.

It is also providing Russia with drones for use in Ukraine. Pezeshkian’s second foreign policy adviser alongside Zarif was a former ambassador to Moscow, Mehdi Sanei.

He will only have an impact on sanctions if he takes meaningful actions to stop nuclear enrichment. That’s the main reason for the sanctions. The drone supply isn’t helping either.

This may shock and amaze you but…

there is more than one user for your product. If you don’t know that, it sounds like you either haven’t done a user survey or you haven’t created the correct user profiles (based on that survey).

Creating a “perfect UI” without asking users what they want is not good UX. It’s just masturbation. The user survey tells you that people want A B C, etc. and in which order. You should know exactly how your changes are going to be received when you release them.

Imagine a restaurant that doesn’t ask you what you want. Instead the chef tells you “This is the best food possible” and just makes what they want. That’s what developing without a user survey is like.

They’re not going to come without their family. And their family isn’t all doctors and nurses. That policy isn’t going to work if their husband / wife can’t join them or can’t work in the country. A lot are doctors from the EU. They don’t need to come to the UK to make money.

So you’re telling me that people in the UK want lower food prices, but don’t want to be part of the EU common market. And they want more doctors and dentists, but less immigration.

Is there an epidemic of mental illness? Do these people know what cause and effect are?

Not like that. A server name that can be authenticated. Like when you receive an email from your bank (in the metadata), you know it’s legitimate. Each organization can set up their own server to host things they vouch for. With ActivityPub it can be viewed elsewhere with the guarantee that it’s from a trusted source.

It’s called a “name”.

Why would anyone pay for the service? Having a “name” is free, and that dumb worldcoin only works for people. It can’t work for governments or businesses.

ActivityPub is actually a good way to authenticate things. If an organization vouches for something they can post it on their server and it can be viewed elsewhere.

generative AI makes it very easy for anyone to flood the internet with generated text, audio, images, and videos.

And? There’s already way too much data online to read or watch all of it. We could just move to a “watermark” system where everyone takes credit for their contributions. Things without watermarks could just be dismissed, since they have as much authority as an anonymous comment.

True. This is just “freedom of association”. Groups (like political parties) do not have to accept everyone regardless of how they behave.

Noah is a Babylonian “deluge myth”. Judaism didn’t even exist until 1,000 years later:

It tells of how Enki, speaking through a reed wall,[v] warns the hero Atra-Hasis (‘extremely wise’) of Enlil’s plan to destroy mankind by flood, telling the hero to dismantle his house (perhaps to provide a construction site) and build a boat to escape

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atra-Hasis

The worship of Yahweh alone began at the earliest with prophet Elijah in the 9th century BCE

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahwism

This means that originally the flood was caused by one god and mankind was saved by another. That’s a better explanation than “God was angry but bipolar, so he saved one family and killed everyone else.”

This woman is a piece of shit. Probably brainwashed, but still a piece of shit for using a baby like that.

You’re obviously upset because you’re a guy and you don’t want to be excluded. Excluding Muslims doesn’t affect you, because you’re not Muslim.

You don’t care about “violent crime”. Your only real concern is not being in the out-group, because you really only care about hierarchy.

You can admit that you were destroyed by facts and logic. It’s ok.

How does that address my point? The Y chromosome is the largest determining factor in violent crime, way more than any “ideology”.

Per capita, men commit more violent crime than women. It’s not even close. Do you support restrictions on men just based on their gender?
