My guess is comment meant that in the context of the headline "you" normally would refer to the average Joe on the street; in this case, it means the average Joe who has a PhD in math, CS, or whatever. It all certainly went over my head and probably 95% (or slightly less than that given this is HN) of the people who clicked the link. But I would take the headline as a compliment that I don't deserve.

I don't follow. He paid them extra so they could pay him for a car and other rich people for stuff so the rich could continue too be rich? I think if you do the math that's not going to work. My guess is Ford paid them a good amount so he could attract good workers so he would get a good quality car. Because that's how labor supply and demand works. It doesn't rely on the altruistic motives of the employer.

This is the educational free license. It doesn't allow desktop apps. Only the browser version. It's like Google Workspace apps. It's fine for most people. It's like complaining you have to use Google sheets instead of Excel desktop. If you like Google stick with those apps but it's no different than what Microsoft is giving you in your educational license. If you want the desktop app, tell your admin and they might spring a few dollars a month for a license. Microsoft is actually an excellent value for educational licenses. For a few dollars a month, you get a ton of desktop apps and a lot of web-based apps. And for free, you still get a lot.

Just out of curiosity, how do we know that what is in the Wikipedia comments is accurate? I have no skin in the game. I was just wondering. Anybody can post anything on Wikipedia comments. I find it odd that Ars Technica would use that as a source. Maybe it's fine for gossip and speculation but it shouldn't be in Ars Technica then.

I have not seen this. The one time I did it was after a major layoff. People use laptops and take them home. I'm not saying it's not viable but the scene you depict I think is outdated.

So Europeans don't do this ? The EU is constantly trying to regulate US companies. Every time I click on a stupid cookie notice I fondly think of the EU .
