<p>nothing about the things higher education or employers look at is a perfect signal of what they want from employees. you have to try to use available data as best you can, and it's hard to find something more reliable than past results, regardless of how old those results are. obviously more recent results should be weighed more. but old results don't mean nothing.</p>

<p>I think regardless of the school and instructor's difficulty, there's a group of people who basically make perfect grades in STEM topics (or all topics) regardless of those variables. And for some people it's easy to know what their grades were 20-30 years ago because their experience was "I made effectively perfect grades at everything my entire school career" and will vividly remember the couple exceptions. I didn't pride myself on my grades and it wasn't encouraged at all by my parents or peer group, but I was one of those students, and have the experience of remembering exactly the one class I got a B in (photo journalism, the teacher hated me). I don't say this to brag, this account isn't tied to my name, but more just explaining what Canonical is perhaps looking for.<p>I do think there is a large connection between grade performance/SAT scores and general aptitude and success later in life. But as you said there are plenty of circumstances that would lead to poor grades that aren't related to ability - but I would also say those circumstances are also possible indicators of how good of an employee you will be. For example having behavioral problems as a kid could lead to bad grades despite otherwise capable of good grades, and I would suspect there's connection between childhood behavioral problems and conduct as an adult.</p>

<p>It loses on accounting if you assign zero cost to the million+ lives that carbon emitting power generation takes every year, and the long term, possibly irreversible damage it does to the planet. If you factor in those two things even 1%, nuclear wins hands down</p>

<p>I respect that most people wouldn't and I don't blame them. However the security of my personal information and data, while absolutely nothing interesting or noteworthy, is not a compromise I'm willing to make - mostly for reasons of principle. I don't use this laptop often, maybe at most an hour a day, and I never need it much outside the house. If it was my main driver I'd find another solution.</p>

<p>This captures just how spectacularly out of touch Stanford types can be. Here’s a respected, successful professor at one of the world’s most prestigious universities. A baby boomer who has benefited enormously from one of the most prosperous periods in human history and, crucially, a straight, cis <i>white man</i>.<p>For someone with that much privilege to characterize the alleged infringement of his book’s copyright as <i>having to endure a form of slave labor</i> takes a staggering lack of self-awareness. It’s “you can’t write this shit” levels of obliviousness, and possibly the dumbest, most out-of-touch horseshit I’ve read all year.<p>And by Stanford types I mean privileged, successful people in general that one can associate with many other highly selective schools and employers.</p>

<p>It's basically all manufacturers aside from Tesla. Tesla does not sell user/driver data, and only provides info to police when they have a warrant.<p>"Tesla never sells or rents your data to third-party companies. This includes your personal data and driving history."<p>Most manufacturers either sell this to brokers which cops easily consume, or only require subpoenas instead of warrants.</p>

<p>if you factor in how private industry exploits negative externalities, the mystically infallible free market is quite bad. a great example is people saying nuclear energy doesn't make sense and never will when compared to fossil fuel burning energy production, but that's entirely ignoring the million+ people who die every year from illnesses directly attributable to pollution from fossil fuel energy. and the whole irreversibly killing the planet thing.</p>

<p>I installed Asahi Linux on my Macbook Air recently and while it definitely took more effort than your grandparent would be capable of, it wasn't too bad. Getting FDE working was a pain for sure though.<p>The overall experience is good, aside from a few big areas: sleep mode still drains battery a ton, like 20-30% a day or more. And battery life in general while using it is pretty bad. And Firefox constantly runs out of memory and crashes.<p>Hopefully it improves soon. Even despite these issues I'm not going back to MacOS or Apple ecosystem again despite being a big fan of it and user for the last 7 years.</p>
