The marketing exists outside of the "buy now, pay later" scheme. "Buy now, pay later" is not a scam.

But it's not misleading or deceitful.

Oh right, thanks.

Everbody's paying for it in the form of tax, I would rather not bail out universities/banks that prey on the financial illeteracy of high school graduates.

I have around 200k in investments and 50k in cheque account, resulting in 70k per year fee. Even though that would completely wipe out my savings without paying the full amount...

Still not a scam, although I agree that it's not ethical to push this on impressionable kids who would probably choose to go in debt for some new clothes.

What is IM formula? I am using BUs own calculator.

"Buy now, pay later" isn't a scam.

Agreed, its a mass marketers pipedream.

If you're actually involved in creative work, knowing your niche is extremely important.

>If someone's parents make $100K/year then they aren't going to pay anywhere near that $80K/year figure.

In my case, using the calculator estimate dropped it from $79k to $70k. And this is just an estimate, I doubt I would even receive 9k from the needs based scholarship. https://npc.collegeboard.org/app/bu?sessionId=N5uYUvK7OuteM4

You can try it out yourself, in my case the tuition dropped from $79k to $70k. Which is still expensive for a family that makes $100k.

Depends on BUs decision, they might be one of those universities who believe parents should've been saving up for their childs education for 18 years and would still happily charge you the full amount.

Agreed. The financial aid also fools people into believing 80k per year is not insanely greedy pricing.

> Obviously $80k is still an obscene amount of money, but I don't really have an issue with kids of millionaires + billionaires having to pay that much to attend.

There is a huge gap in between, that isn't addressed in your comment. 80k/year is still expensive to someone whose parents make 100k.

It depends on if you want to scale the application, but I wouldn't choose the readable O(n^2) over the less readable O(n). I would just attempt to make the O(n) readable.

Fifth, Spotify recommendations have only ever given me 1 song that I liked over the 3 years I used spotify.

Followers do not determine what's normal, they only do what they consider is already normal. And pioneers do what they care about regardless of whether it is 'normal'.

A lack of individuality such that an action needs to be validated externally is definitely a weak will.

But it sure helps. OP wasn't conflating the two.

To be fair, you have to be a high school graduate to think the current nurse career path is a great idea. Entry level jobs were better before universities monopolized them.

You take bureaucratic rankings too seriously, Goodfellow has a reputation outside of Apple.

The more complex the app, the more it makes sense to not a UI framework.

Just came to the same conclusion after many frustrations with mui-core. Honestly wouldn't mind even building a modal from scratch now.

No, read the first part of the sentence.

All of these companies have a history of lying about privacy, it doesn't surprise me that they are one of the first to jump on the new authentication method that collects fingerprint and facial data.

No, this is just a temp account because I mainly lurk HN. Given your previous tone, I wouldn't suggest accusing others of being part of an "angry mob".

This is just a purely insulting comment. Name calling and dismissing valid complaints as that "one time he was right"

Do you not feel bad when wasting time? Especially if you're just refreshing youtube and instagram, as the blog states.

Even in this case they seemingly "forgot" the idea that was told to them. I don't doubt that this is a possibility, but there is also a possibility that they could've just stolen it.
