mircea_popescu: i.... never failed a class.
mircea_popescu: i think the least i ever got would translate as a b or something
mircea_popescu: what's b on a percentile scale ? 70 to 90% ?
BingoBoingo: I didn't fail so much as the Instructor was insufferable and I knocked over my king so I could expend more effort on lava lamp divination or pussy or something.
BingoBoingo: B is usually 80-90
mircea_popescu: c 60-70, d 50 and f under ?
BingoBoingo: Yeah, Some go down 93-80 = B and then steps of ten, but that
TheNewDeal: got a stab at the thermodyanmics quiz
BingoBoingo: Some condense and F under 60
mircea_popescu: at which point the innocent bystander wonders : is there currently any single point anywhere on the globe where the us foreign policy is to any degree successful ?
mircea_popescu: i mean it's not a matter of, "we've had some failures", not even "some catastrophic failures". its more like... no single point above water, a purely negative graph.
BingoBoingo: ... Ohio?
mircea_popescu: what, it seceded ?
mircea_popescu: or you mean, the fact that akron is still inside the us is the one point where us foreign policy is successful ?
BingoBoingo: The latter
mircea_popescu: i guess, taking a very charitable view of the matter.
BingoBoingo: I mean can the same be said for Chicago or Kansas City?
BingoBoingo: Chicago is part Liberia and part Nuevo Laredo, with Wrigleyville persisting like a tumor

mircea_popescu: well they gotta push costs down.
mircea_popescu: that's the (unofficial) word from the uscpo.
mircea_popescu: you see, student debt is a major problem, and since the fed doesn't want to give kids free money, the central college administration will have to further cheapen tuition
mircea_popescu: but the various hedge funds operating as colleges don't want to lose money on the deal... so they're pushing to reduce the curricula further.
mircea_popescu: win-win-win, cause the students are mentally retarded anyway, so they'll be more than happy to be tested on reddit comprehension.
mircea_popescu: !up tanakimod
pankkake: funny because here it's not very common for a student to be in debt and private schools are much cheaper (granted they also have to compete with the state)

They will run in different directions at once, chasing blue sky, have a series of management changes, blow a lot of money on tiki bars and conference splashes. The layoffs will start about the same time as the death march starts. Goals will be scaled down ad hoc to things
fluffypony: which are achievable but useless, do not match or integrate the vision. Finally the last new management will be chop-shop, and pieces will get sold off to the highest bidder."

asciilifeform: also brings to mind another topic that never quite comes up - that 'cost of living' is not really a complete picture of things
asciilifeform: in that 'man does not live by bread alone'
asciilifeform: e.g. an 'amd opteron' wouldn't cost any less than what we pay for it here, wherever else on the planet you might go
