@chamath There are 4000+ higher ed institutions and we are talking about 100s of billions of the fixed costs, annually. A centralized platform can provide much better IT/administrative support in a cost effective way.
@chamath What cause sky-high costs/tuitions is two part: fixed cost and variable cost. Each higher ed institution pays 10s-100s millions on fixed cost, salaries, administrative overhead, IT… while teach a handful of students per class.
@Recode@voxdotcom 2/4 But some people in our neighborhood WeChat group cannot see his posts because they created their WeChat account in China. There was a time another neighbor reposted his 6/4 related post to another group of hers. Her group was banned by WeChat, in the US.
@Recode@voxdotcom 1/4 I’m 1st-gen Chinese American. My parents & siblings are in China. I use WeChat daily to chat with family, friends and neighbors. One neighbor and friend of mine is a vehement supporter of 6/4 movement, blacklisted by WeChat. He can still use WeChat in the US.
