Anecdotal data from the grad programs in my area is that at least for PhD students your supervisor pays their tuition from whatever funding source they use to pay the stipend.
Yes, and the supervisor also pays a fraction (often 50%+!) of any incoming grant money to “overhead” — to the institution, for lab space, staff, operations, etc.
Why some of this money is categorized as “tuition” and other money as “overhead” is at the root of the question I think.
I still get most of those. It's just the sponsored segments usually. The information is crowd sources and it has controls to let you define sponsored elements and submit them if it doesn't have info on your video.
I believe it only does sponsors by default, and some categories (like filler) are not shown at all by default. If you never went into the settings, you'd never know.
You can ask Blab (one of two maintainers of the SponsorBlock browser extension and database, the other being Ajay) why not all categories are enabled by default.
There is also a joke branch of the extension called SponsorLock, that isolates sponsors instead of skipping them: https://giveup.ajay.app
I've used something similar for tissue segmentation from hyperspectral images of animals where I know there should be K different tissue types I care about.
The biggest issue in the article I found wasn't the actual expense of the flights but rather the wanton use of helicopters for non-essential matters like ferrying officials to meetings to avoid traffic. They quote some figure like 2 helicopters flying 20 hours a day every day, which sounds insane.
The really crazy part is that one of the factors that make emergency helicopter fleets more expensive than regular commercial chopper fleets is keeping the fleet at a state of readiness. Using them for ferrying officials around cancels those benefits out while driving the costs even higher.
Yeah it doesn't seem like police academy fly overs and the like are the best usage of taxpayer dollars. I was thinking about tacking that onto my comment but it felt out of place to the question I was asking originally.
The extra hours a week teachers spend have to do with lesson planning, grading, etc. which is directly related to their job unlike leetcode or your homelab or whatever, those aren't equivalent at all.
They say that, but how many times do they need to lesson plan if they teach the same subject year after year? And doesn't the curriculum rather decide the plans anyway? We had scantrons and other grading tech way back when I was in school or even just having the kids grade each others work; there are strategies for that as well.
My cousin is a teacher and manages that job plus a couple side businesses plus 3 kids. Somehow he finds the time.
scantrons and grading each other's work only makes sense if your assignments are multiple choice, which is probably the least effective way of teaching in my opinion. As soon as the assignment requires any essay portion where you can get partial credit that breaks down. Curricula change every year, and relying on whatever standardized test your students are required to pass to develop your plans is a good part of why US education is lambasted elsewhere in the developed world, I'm glad your cousin can run 2 side businesses while teaching but I'd rather pay teachers more so they could put the effort into the kids, because there's a staggering difference between the ones that phone it in and the ones that don't.
I think it's entirely possible that the belief in education is one of the many beliefs that I've lost as I get older. Or perhaps like people say they believe in god, but not organized religion, I don't believe in organized education. That reflects my own experience I suppose; I wasn't much of a student, but once I actually got put into a position where I needed to learn things (a computer infrastructure/software engineering type job), I learned them well enough I suppose.
One takeaway from the covid lockdowns I took is it seems that to a first approximation, school is where children go for babysitting and perhaps learning happens there somehow. That would reflect my memories (plus it was a good place to score drugs).
I didn't think much of the system at the time, and even less upon reflection some years later, and it's not a system I'd want to put kids through, but I seem to say that about an increasing number of aspects of the modern world, so it's likely I'm just some sort of antisocial malcontent.
I use a Charybdis keyboard with a built in trackball and it's good for anything non-gaming in my experience, and it's really nice not taking my hands off of the keyboard while working.
Well, considering the message that the website seems to be promoting that's not that surprising. It does read pretty evangelical, but the laws themselves are something I wouldn't have known about otherwise so at least it serves as a jumping-off point for further research.
Reads to me like a site by some group of billionaires or other serving some billionaire's agenda. I'm NDP by nature but Trudeau has earned my strong support at the federal level, and partly because he got facebook to surrender the news from their site, and is highlighting the unworkability of using corporate platforms with algorithms for news.
His father was a wily one too. This is just people with ridiculous policies trying to whip up the hate in hopes that the hate will take him down this time, after failing to do so every other time.
I'm on a lot of discords for businesses that are run by individuals or small groups, mainly in the custom keyboard space, and they all have websites and emails for support questions, payment systems, but the discord is where the users of their products are, and the business owner is frequently there in a more casual setting so we can get quicker support/leverage the community, show off mods, and just discuss. I think it's a great idea for businesses reliant on community engagement like these, or indie games, to have a discord (separate from official channels)
