>is this a marketing move to post it here?

Nope, I had found the university before but ignored it. Then was looking for cheap math degrees from the recent math books thread today, and came across this school again. Figured I'd post it, but I have no interest in attending there, as they don't have any programs I care about

> In my first semester at WGU I went through about 20 classes.

Woah, that sounds insane at first, but I'm assuming some of these might be like history 101? Could you elaborate on which program and which classes this was?

As a counterpoint, I generally prefer using MIT repos/libraries because cognitively I don't need to think or worry about how/when/where/underwhatconditions I can use the repo. I don't contribute as much as I could (due to my employer) but the little that I have and the few repos I've made have all been under MIT because I want to perpetuate this cognitive freedom for others.

I've been putting off researching home network/backup devices, because I feel like it is a big decision that I don't know enough about. And they all tend to have bad reviews.

Is there a good guide to start researching that isn't a top-ten list with just affiliate links?

> genetic research

How did they get the genetic code of the specific dinosaur branch? I recall a previous discussion here that we have very little genetic source code from dinosaurs because it's degraded in the fossils over time

The article focuses on "savings", but much of the impactful forces were already in play. This article was discussed previously and had much more valuable insight: https://www.lynalden.com/global-dollar-short-squeeze/

Nit pick:

> Look no further than the Trump administration. Protectionist trade policies, withdrawal from the architectural pillars of globalization such as the Paris Agreement on Climate, Trans-Pacific Partnership, World Health Organization and traditional Atlantic alliances

TPP was the worst example to throw in there. It was a horrible proposal, that both parties hated, and both presidential candidates said they would withdraw from. Either the author was trying to just make it look worse, or had zero clue about the mulit-year TPP debate.

How did they obtain them? Were they not encrypted?
