It's more than just console. Lambda or API Gateway is borked. I can't log in to check though.

This is what it sounds like to me, too. Either that or just using their multiple normal accounts to re-tweet/like.

> Why more people don't realize that this is a bubble is beyond me.

I think most people are just trying to make money and a bubble is a great way to make money. Until it isn't.

How did they verify that Joe Blow was actually supposed to have 231 shares instead of 219?

Is there any accuracy to my belief that China caused this by arresting the doctors who were talking about this instead of investigating it? If so, are people in China aware of this? Do they see it as an issue?

Oh wow - that's quite the difference.

I have to be honest that I’m not really seeing any major issues here. They _used_ to do something and now they don’t, so he didn’t lie about it. They _have_ had low placement rates and informed their investors, but it’s unclear what the average or common placement rate is and if it’s significantly different from what they claim. And _some_ students didn’t like the curriculum. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You also make reference to some internal documents. Perhaps sharing them will help further the story?

I think them being separate companies would allow one to learn from the other without being tainted.

Facebook and Reddit are pretty good at running groups.

On a quick first read of your list everything strikes me as half true at best.

They are all absolute statements, but I don't believe they're true most of the time.

1. I think most corporations are small companies

2. Microsoft didn't grow for almost a decade. Then they tippled in size. Are you suggesting that Microsoft didn't grow for a decade because investors didn't demand it, but were ready to triple in size whenever their investors showed up and demanded it?

3. This is true of any investment and not just true for professional investors.

4. This is true of everyone.

5. Most corporations pursuing continuous growth is a fallacy. The competition you describe is called Capitalism and it has many benefits. Not least of which are lower costs and better products/services for the consumer.

6. I disagree with the premise so I disagree with the conclusion.

7. Capitalism can amplify greed and greed can lead to acting immorally, which is bad, but I maintain this is rare.

8. I've been toying with the idea of the benefits of curving inflation in my mind. You're going to have to define what 'social justice' is and what restoring it looks like.

> is it because US school are larger & fewer

I don't know because I know very little about schools outside the US. My best guess would be that they vary everywhere and this isn't US specific.

> Assuming you were in a city rather than a rural area

Before I was born and when I was younger there were quite a few farms, but I didn't grow up with them. So I suppose it used to be rural and now is a suburb (in-between rural and a city). My town has about ~30k people.

There are a lot of sprawling cities (and I _think_ Boston may be one of those) where it would also be greater distances to walk to a school. ..so I'm not sure being a city is correlated to short walking distances to school.
