Their products are extremely expensive.

Selling products based on nostalgia does not work. Europe needs to do far more keep it's industry afloat and to make locally produced products competitive.

Duralex is currently selling products at 10x the costs of what a similar product, made in China, costs on Amazon. This is not sustainable. These enormous differences in prices mean that only very people can afford their products. It is a brand which sells an everyday item at prices, which are legitimately hard to afford for most of the population.

Obviously a company like this can not succeed long term. It is totally uncompetitive, except for some brand recognition and positive brand perception. These obviously help, but will do nothing for the long term success.

According to the statement all university employees data was leaked. This of course would include all of the administration, up to the president.

Maybe my perspective on Universities is quite different, but I don't understand the complaints of the author.

This is a public University, they likely outsource some of their IT and somewhere a data breach happened. This data breach apparently affected all employees and students/former students. The faceless "they" the author is blaming in all likelihood was effected more drastically than him.

The 30 dollars is not a payment for the data. It is a compensation for the damages, something which the author admits are likely zero, as previous data breaches already impacted him more drastically.

What should the university have done? 30 dollars seem reasonable for the damage caused.

>It's from more than a century ago when the point was to tame the children and turn them into good Prussian soldiers.

If you judge by the outcome, that is probably the greatest education system of all time.

>You don't have to start with anxiety, shame, and dominance - you can start with curiosity, a base of common understanding, and then experiment and problem solving.

You can. The kids will learn nothing though.

School nowadays is a joke. An absolute waste of time. In a single semester of rigorous mathematics I learned more than in years in school. It is cruel to waste childrens time like that.

School needs to be authoritarian, rigorous and selective.
