"open" courseware puts teachers out of work and further entrenches educational elites. lots of people have learned stuff they might not have been able to otherwise. but it's at a collective cost.

#Google is profitable only because it steals our data.
Take for example Australia:
- Mere data transfer costs, externalized to its users by Google, amount to AU$580M per year (https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/technology/smartphones/accc-investigating-oracle-research-showing-google-users-android-phone-plan-data-to-spy/news-story/3ca0cdaa3cc6992d134355bd0b7fcf40?nk=616cccc3cc52782bdfabd88f25d98363-1526466132).
- Google's profit in Australia is ~AU$150M and revenue (depending on standards) AU$1.02B - AU$3.46B (https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-australia-posts-au125m-profit-as-it-continues-to-fight-ato-tax-matters/-8.
If Google had to pay us for the data it steals, it would be in bankrupt right away.

5. analytics javascript on destination site throws errors, leading to slow load time
6. view disappointing meme
7. goto 1.

json is text REST APIs are complicated Unix pipes sending text from one process to another progress is an illusion
it is i, the grade dispenser, here to bestow upon you a letter
don't call your app an electron app unless you can power it with literally 1 electron
selfishly, my own job is precarious and if masses of students complain about how I grade then my own job is in trouble. I can see why all these forces would lead to a general phenomenon of grade inflation. that's where the pressures of the system push
