Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If college is better than no college, then going to an average college isn't bad?
1·3 days agoIt depends what you want to do
Community college can make networking with professors harder. However considering the laughably small percentage of people who ever do undergrad research this doesn’t matter for most people.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Under communism, what incentive is there to pursue highly dangerous or specialized fields?
1·3 days agoIn capitalism as a whole economic mobility is not very prevalent. If you are born poor you generally have a worse education, worse nutrition, worse job prospects, etc
If you are born rich it is orders of magnitude easier to end up in a high paying career since you have a financial support system
The idea here would be to make sure everyone is given the same tools to succeed and the same options. For example anyone who can pass their could go to med school vs only people who can afford to go without a livable income for 13 years while working 60-100 hours weeks
Then you reward people who choose to do things others don’t want to do which is the compromise
You can have that as home as well where the person who cleans the bathroom gets an extra cookie after dinner
This is in huge contrast to capitalism where the owner of the house gets the entire box of cookies and is benevolent enough to spare a pittance of food in exchange for the bathroom being cleaned
Everyone would have their basic needs met, and nobody would have 10,000x what other people have

Technology@lemmy.world•Electric motorcycles with solid-state batteries seem to be coming soon.English
0·5 days agoThey are claiming a weight of 400Wh/kg so the extra weight should be at least another 70lbs if it didn’t require any extra bracing which it probably does that while it may not be a lot for a 3000lb car it is sizeable for a 400lb bike
it’s a lot worse than other EV makers misleading claims, because 12mph is literally a joke of a speed to test at considering that’s slower than a cyclist on a non motorized bike and it is not even considering a fast speed to run at.
A still misleading but at least defendable claim would be if they did one at 25mph and called that their city range but 12mph is just an insulting claim

0·6 days agoAdding the extra weight of the battery will reduce the range but more importantly going 12mph is not a way of rating a street legal vehicle… it’s like bragging about a laptop having a 30 day battery life when it’s in standby. Drag is a function of velocity squared which means that going at even 45mph you are experiencing 14x the drag and at 60mph it’s 25x the drag

It appears from my searching 8-10% is federal funding did you see a number somewhere else that was much higher?
