The membership has another impact on the balance sheet. It not only adds revenue, it also cuts loss from shoplifting

Same. I have found it impossible to explain to the uninitiated so I delight in finding others who’ve found it!

It’s a nice property of elections that you can measure votes needing more intervention against the margin of victory before you decide your next step

Great without it. The major improvement I noticed with it, is 802.11k & v (faster handoff).

Without those, it takes a little longer for the device to switch APs at the borders of their coverage. Mostly imperceptible, but the longer handoff times can be enough to kill a phone call over iPhone WiFi calling

> I really liked the hn article the other day on assessing garment quality.

I didn’t see this at the time; if you remember the title or still have the link could you please post it?

That movie had some excellent scenes demonstrating systems thinking, particularly the idea of optimising parts a system to improve the productivity of its whole

There are a large number of people who will pay back multiples of their original loan amount (pay back ~£90k over 30 years on a £40k loan) if they earn moderately high salaries to start with and progress to high salaries within the last 15 years or so of their 30 year loan lifetime.

The extortionate interest keeps a middle tier of professionals paying well after they've cleared their original loan amount.

Not to mention - I have no doubt 30 years will be changed to 35, and then 40, when the day to write off the debt actually comes.

> Another solution is to let you go to school for free and then pay a percent of all your future earnings back to your college, or at least into a pool that pays for the next generation's college.

We could call it income tax :)
