That is exactly what I was doing.
Though honestly, I've been boycotting course 6 ever since they got rid of 6.001.

Having companies that generate wealth is not the reason we have an increasing wealth gap. We had MIT and these companies being generated in 1955 too. But what we had then was a 95% top marginal tax rate.

They are by definition and the law a non-profit. Again if you don’t like the law, run for office and change the law.
These universities act very differently from a public corporation and also very differently than a private for-profit corporation. The decision makers have very different motives which lead to very different outcomes.
These universities educate our brightest, but mainly they are huge economic wealth creators. If you made a country out of the companies that have been created and spun off of MIT it would be the 10th wealthiest country in the world. These are the companies that employ America. This public/private partnership is one of the bedrocks of America and it is something to be excited about, not complain about.

I mean they are a non-profit. Whose fault is it that you don’t like the definition of ‘non-profit’?

Yeah I mean they pay a lower rate than you and me do, but they are a non-profit so those are just… the rules.
Technically they don’t have to pay anything.

Non-profits are all ‘private entities’. That’s how it works. Non-profits are entirely able to make money and keep money. There is nothing anywhere that says or implies that non-profits can’t make as much money as they want.

MIT pays about 1.5 million a year to Cambridge. Harvard pays about $5 million a year.

This person is likely spreading false information. There is no 6.022 class at MIT, and even if there were course 6 is computer science.
I have several friends and a wife who graduated MIT with biology or neuro degrees and none of them have heard of anything g like this.

I was driving between Warren and Waitsfield last March and I thought I was going to die. The road was soooo bad and the sun was setting and I was with my 8 year old daughter and I just thought well we are going to just spend the night year. I still can’t believe we made it.
And that was like the main road over the hill. Just crazy, it was worse than anything I’ve seen in any third world country.

Inferior coverage AND May higher cost!
Japan has single payer and the overall cost is HALF of what we are paying. aND better outcomes.
Anyone who argues against si for payer is sucking at the corporate tit.

That is neither what I am suggesting or what others are suggesting g.
It’s real simple, maybe your PhD is getting in your way.
For most people, the word earthquake means the earth is shaking where we are. We aren’t dumb, we all understand that the actual seismic plate slip or whatever happened a thousand miles away or something g, maybe way deep in the earth. And we aren’t dumb, we all know that the wave travels through the mantle and the crust at different speeds to get to different places at different times.
What the OP said is entirely true. The earth quakes at one place, phones detect it, and they tell other phones that an earthquake is coming to their location in like 10 seconds.
OP is entirely correct. They are predicting earthquakes based on other earthquakes.
Your usuals of the word might be correct in the technical parlance, but it is wildly incorrect in the popular, common, context. We all get where earthquakes come from, but none of us is calling the event way down in the earth the earthquake.

The part where you said ‘uh, no?’
Now you double down with your PhD and ‘false information’ and ‘trying to teach’. You may be trying but you are a bad teacher. Step one in teaching is compassion and connection and you are doing neither. You are condescending from authority and it shows.
Read what I said. For most people the word earthquake means the earth quaking where they are. Which means OP is dead right.
