A “Glass-Master” is what I used in the fire service. Goes a lot faster than you would think.

I think they mentioned in the video that Kayak allows you to select aricraft to exclude.

I went to chat gpt and I prompted it with “what is a string of words or characters that would be detrimental to an AI that is being directed to learn from a dataset” and then used a script to edit all my comments to that.

Proton Drive just added photo backup to their app. It’s new, and lacking features, but automatic backups and sharing are working.

The whole proton suite is pretty good, I’ve been very pleased.

ProtonVPN…

ProtonVPN

They got bought by an Israeli adware company a few years back

They just released one a few months ago

That’s what the email alias company that proon bought last year and rolled into subscriptions is for.

Also, if you buy your own domain, which from cloudflare is like $10/year, you can turn on catchall and use anything@yourdomain and have it delivered. Then, if one of your anything addresses gets compromised, you just block all email going to there and move on.

Anecdotal, but I’ve gotten one of these cards in an order.

I don’t know current pricing, but a premium proton account, which was ~$9/month when I started has worked very well for me. I like the other features they are rolling out and use them a lot.

Domain is purchased through cloudflare, and I think it was like $10/year?

Define private

??

They strip all the tracking from the emails. I’ll unsubscribe from ads, or turn off compromised addresses, but them not scanning my emails is a plus.

How is it not private?

Please expound on your thoughts. I happen to be a paid subscriber, cause I want to support them and I appriciate the extra features I get. So the issues with the free accounts arent a problem for me, but my friends who use the free account don’t seem to have any complaints.

Look in to switching to a privacy respecting email. It’s not for everyone, but i am very happy with the Proton suite of apps.

US.

Average starting salary at my school is $68k, my department is $74k average, and I have friends who have started at $110k and had their MS degree paid for on top of that, with a pay bump after their degree.

I turned down $80k starting in a really low CoL area cause they didnt have a big enough moving allowance, and I have a few other options I’m pursuing that are more appealing to me.

That’s not terribly awful actually.

If they are wanting to attract programers with experience and not have them sniped.

Fresh out of school in that field with no experience, one can hit $75k-$120k fairly easily.

Signal needs people who are familiar with encryption and cyber security, and are basically inventing new ways to did things in order to mantain user privacy. That is a very specific niche that takes a lot of skill and experience to do.

Make sure to keep him away from any open wells

Not all degrees can be done in a classroom with a projector

Context.

I am a non traditional student, who has spent a significant amount of time working between highschool and college. The degree is about $18k/year for tuition. My STEM degree has a track record of 100% job placement, in your degree field, within one year of graduation. and, with a BS, average starting salary is approaching $80k.

With average rent and stuff, lets call it about $25k/year for the degree. Maybe $30k.

Is there stuff that the university is spending money on that they shouldn’t? Yes. But, we also have many millions of dollars in equipment, some for undergrad, and some for graduated program use. All that equipment/lab spaces takes up space, and that equipment, our professors, and the reputation of our graduates are what makes the companies want to hire from pur school. We’re not even that big of a school, but we have a large reputation for academics.

If you started cutting funding and forcing downsizing, you’re losing decades of experience im teaching, many hundreds of millions in labs and equipment, and reducing the quality of the education that can be offered.

Now, I will grant you that some schools are too expensive, or degrees aren’t worth the cost. And yes, changes in student loan structures are needed, but blanket statements, like that loans should be made illegal, is painting the issue with too broad of a brush stroke. What about making student loans able to be discharged in bankruptcy, and not being federally guaranteed? That could create an environment where loan companies are denying loans based on the cost vs income potential of the degree. Even with that though, we want to be very careful that it is structured in a way that is not going to disenfranchise low income students or minorities. Some degrees will either disappear, or get a lot cheaper. If you can’t get a loan for a $400k underwater basket weaving degree, then it will either go away, or get cheaper.

A lot of programs need space and equipment to effectively produce a good product. You don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water.

I make eye contact and just go, it’s why I have life insurance.
