He didn't mean that literally. It's a tongue in cheek way of saying "when you're a 23 year old and you think you've mastered the markets, you don't think about wealth preservation."
Original quote:
"When you have mastered the market at 23 years old, and you're up 6000% in less than a year, you don't think about wealth preservation."
Donations go to the Mozilla foundation which does "internet advocacy". Donations do not go towards Firefox development, not towards the CEO's salary or Firefox engineers' salary.
On macOS, the PDF reader Preview.app runs sandboxed by default.
The Preview.app sandbox is not quite as secure as what is used by browsers such as Firefox or Chrome on macOS for web content, so there is probably still a benefit to viewing PDFs in the browser, depending on whether the browser or PDF viewer is more hardened against these attacks.
I don't think you mentioned that the student doesn't have to pay back Lambda after 60 months of deferred payments. That seems important. From the Lambda site:
"The income share agreement has no interest. It's a flat percentage that goes away once you've reached the $30k payment cap, you've made 24 payments, or after 60 months of deferred payments (even if you haven't paid us anything)."
But you wrote in the article:
"Students with no safety nets experience real financial pain from the nine-month hiatus from work, in addition to the looming dread of possibly having to pay Lambda $30K one day."
That seems like a giant omission. 5 years is nothing compared to student loans. There are people in their 40s still paying back loans they took when they were 18
It's not disingenuous; I think an earlier draft had it. This came down from 4000 words. I'll try to ask my editor to add this as a correction but things are pretty hectic. It's a fairly minor omission in my opinion, but I understand disagreeing.
It's hardly a "fairly minor omission" in a country where the conventional tertiary education saddles the average student with a debt that is often far bigger than $30k, doesn't expire, and cannot be escaped even through bankruptcy, meaning that even retirement benefits can be garnished above a meagre $750/month.
And let's be honest here, I am no fan of Lambda school and I think it's way too expensive for an online school.
But if the editor cut those 14 words out, it wasn't to make the article more concise, it was to make the audience more outraged and more likely to share that article with others -- thereby increase the number of page views.
Not that I would expect the author to admit that. The author can't speak to the intent of his editor, obviously. And even if he could, I don't think his editor would be too pleased with him if he did that.
> FTFA "People who drank hot tea daily but didn't smoke or drink alcohol every day had no increased risk of oesophageal cancer."
Actually, it's the opposite.
From the article, "Some studies have suggested that only people who drink alcohol or smoke are at risk of cancer from drinking hot tea. This study suggests that is not the case."
The conclusion section of the article addresses some of the questions raised here. I would say the conclusion was a refreshingly well written summary of what the results mean and some outstanding questions.
"We’ve recently learned that Google Accounts has slipped their schedule for using Web Authentication to register new credentials. This delay is attributed to security key support on Android being, for most devices, non-upgradable."
"The second vulnerability was in Microsoft Windows. It is a local privilege escalation in the Windows win32k.sys kernel driver that can be used as a security sandbox escape."
