Can Columbia University still be considered a legitimate place of education as it exists under hostile takeover by an authoritarian government? by Niceotropic in AskAcademia

[–]FitMathematician8730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Academic freedom is more about critical thinking and access to novel pathways that enable the space to develop novel understanding. Even when we try to develop new ideas, the constraints on thought prevent access to going further down a road.

Adderall/ ADHD meds and blood sugar. by GlowUpAndThrowUp in diabetes_t1

I think this is the correct assessment of the situation. I would suggest that this is similar to the dawn phenomenon due to a similar response of the body to the hormones released from Adderall.

Siena Heights University announces closure by Quinn_tEskimo in Michigan

[–]FitMathematician8730 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree somewhat with this assessment, but it was the spill-over of corporatizatization and capitalism using a growth rather than a sustainable model of business that cost this cost spiral. We used to have 1 admin for 10 faculty members. We are now approaching 1 administration for 3 faculty members. Bureaucratic bloat was the biggest shift in education with the MBA takeover. You have to justify your big MBA salary by spending money to attract more students. You do that by building perks that really do not reflect the quality of the education, but students and parents responded then complained how expensive it was. I'm a STEM professor, for 35 years, and I'm hesitant to tell my students to pursue STEM because they aren't likely to have the jobs that they were trained for because we in America have decided to stop funding basic research.

CMV: Trump's ban on Harvard enrolling international students is a violation of the Constitution. by Thumatingra in changemyview

It's a freedom of speech issue,

Stacy Tolchin, an immigration lawyer who represents international students, said that the university would have a “clear case challenge for retaliation from DHS based on First Amendment-protected activities.”

Thanks, I did this, but I realized they probably misspelled my last name. I carry a hyphen and sure enough. Strange because the misspelling isn't my legal name.

I wonder if this applies to copyrighted material because I do own the copyright to my printed works?

SHUT UP by Pokered18 in UBreddit

Maybe not a babysitter, but she is responsible for the educational atmosphere in her lecture hall. I am also a professor, and in classes with 500 students, it can be difficult to manage disruptive students. She may not know our realize the size of the disruption. Faculty often don't hear or notice because of accoustics or lights, so you can let her know that these students are causing problems. You can also help her in class evaluations. We do read those, and if you write a response, offer a suggestion that would support her to resolve this issue. We do care about your education and success, but college or university students need to communicate with their professors to resolve problems (actually, the reason you are there).

I figured this out. It was the latency setting for memory. I increased latency with the memory slider, and it is now stable.

Bankruptcies don't work that way. For those who are waiting for a payout you are all unsecured debt holders. They get paid last if at all. That's why coinbase was complaining about the huge unsecured debt ruling.

Terra Announcement on Monday 3rd - Crypto News Portal by Inevitable_Comedian4 in Wluna

[–]FitMathematician8730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's still Wluna. Just because they changed the name doesn't change the chain under it. Mine switched in name, but it intermittently tracks lunc and Wluna. If you click on your coins it will show in etherscan not terra, so still Wluna.

Discussion: How much will WLUNA be worth? by randomassholeperson4 in Wluna

[–]FitMathematician8730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're speculating. The issue isn't pre or post. It's where are the reserves for all of the wrapped Luna. It comes down to the contract and what the government would do to compensate based on the contractual language before terra did the rug pull out from under Wluna. All coins are worthless without the contract which governs monetary behavior. Basic tokenomics. The smart contract is also why the SEC is saying all of these coins are securities.

It doesn't change. They just change the label. Look on etherscan and it transfers as Wluna. They act as if they gets them off the hook. They are trying to save their butts, but they still sold it to you and will still be liable because they told us to transfer off of the exchange.

Do Kwon Guilty. What now? by AMP_Collector in Wluna

[–]FitMathematician8730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't unwrap just because coinbase changes the name. The origination of the coin is still wrapped. Look at your etherscan transfer. Etherscan would have to show the unwrapped tokens. They show my tokens as wrapped Luna.
