West Virginia University Is Everything That’s Wrong With Higher #Education Today Its president ignored the warning signs about declining enrollment. Now WVU is deeply in debt, in thrall to market-worshipping consultants, and cutting a shocking number of programs and faculty.#wvu #highereducation #university #westvirginia #academiahttps://newrepublic.com/article/176202/west-virginia-university-higher-education-enrollment-cliff-cuts

@Adam To be fair he was saddled with Windows Phone when made CEO, he had to make choices based on sales and competition, and being ubiquitous in a mobile-first world doesn’t mean you need to make your own phone. In fact that quote from 2015 occurred as he was actually discussing the success of Windows 10https://www.mobileworldlive.com/featured-content/home-banner/microsofts-nadella-reaffirms-mobile-first-vision/

@Adam That’s interesting. Partly for its revisionist history. He was chosen from a slate of candidates specifically because he promised to focus on cloud-based interoperability, and a promise to make a quick and hard decision about Windows Phone, which was a continuing, costly (and growing) flop. Saying “I think there could have been ways we could have made it work by perhaps reinventing the category of computing between PCs, tablets, and phones” sounds ridiculously pie-in-the-sky.

@ethanOS @mttaggart It’s not a they, it’s just a Tyler Cowen op-ed reprinted from Bloomberg. Cowen is very good at taking tiny trends and making them grandly emblematic of some opinion or other that he later stops thinking about. Acknowledging that kids aren’t forced to work (like chimney sweeps were) yet “have” to produce more in order (really? Why? How?) only to pivot to a meandering discussion of labor issues is typical for him.

Abortion debate has dominated this #election year. Here are Tuesday's races to watch “From a reelection bid for governor in Kentucky to a statewide ballot measure in Ohio to state legislative #elections in Virginia, access to #abortion has been a frequent topic in campaign debates and advertising, as it has since the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in June last year overturning Roe vs. Wade.”https://apnews.com/article/election-2023-kentucky-mississippi-governor-virginia-ohio-abortion-uvalde-houston-c1ebf7c4af31da60bd96a8158c86fb29

North Greenland ice shelves have lost 35% of their volume, with "dramatic consequences" for sea level rise“Scientists have long thought that the #glaciers in North #Greenland have been stable — a vital condition, as they contain enough ice to raise the sea level by nearly 7 feet. But a new study found that ice shelves in the region have lost more than a third of their volume in the last half-century because of rising temperatures” #climatechange #globalwaming #ecologyhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/north-greenland-ice-sheet-sea-level-rise-climate-change/

@tilvidsYes they’re targeting uBlock, no they’re not targeting Firefox per se. Edge users also report this issue. How about just boycotting YouTube?
