Health insurance costs.
Now, add to this: salaries and other benefits to both staff and educators. liability insurance. increased food costs. I'm certain facilities have increased costs also, from new construction to utilities. *Plus anything else I've left out.
Let's face it, everything has become more expensive. The Five Guys meal of a little cheeseburger, little fries, and regular drink which cost me $12 4 years ago in March, 2020 (I keep records), would cost me $17-18 today (I checked the prices today at noon and walked away). That's a 40-50% increase.
Why would we expect higher education to not be effected?
Specific bands are: "U–NII–5 (5.925–6.425 MHz) and U–NII–7 (6.525–6.875 MHz)".
VLP is defined as those devices which "operate at up to −5 dBm/MHz power spectral density (PSD) and 14 dBm EIRP".

Plus,the University of Nebraska mentions this regarding winter wheat:
A review of seedling rates vs. yield potential is helpful. On average, there are 22 seeds per head and 5 heads per plant, or 110 seeds per plant. With an average seed size of 15,000 seeds per pound or 900,000 seeds per bushel, a pound of average-sized seed with 80% germination and emergence has a yield potential of approximately 1.5 bushels per acre. Seeding 40 lb of seed with a weight of 15,000 seed per pound has a yield potential of 60 bushels per acre. https://cropwatch.unl.edu/2019/determining-seeding-rate-wint...
A three year savings of $10B would be equal to their stated investment into OpenAI. Assume there is a global slowdown, and a corresponding decline in revenues; layoffs may be the way they've decided to free up cash flow to pay for the investment.
So long as the areas are either public lands, or he has permission from the owners, and follows FAA regs on drone operations, nothing wrong with it.
I started in '09 in the midst of the Great Recession, and did well. Companies were laying off, but still had projects needing done. Between 2010-2020, I also did well. 2020-now, I'm doing OK, but half the work, with regular (non-tech sector) clients have been worried about the economy, holding back on non-essential projects.
The biggest intangible though is how hard you're willing to go out and sell yourself. You have to have more than just knowledge, you have to have belief in what you're selling--which is yourself. If you can sell yourself, you'll do ok.
Contracting agencies were the worst with the bait-and-switch game though, even prior to H-1Bs.
This++. It's also the young hotshot phenomenon, where they come in and decide they can do everything better than the old timers (the previous hotshots 3-4 years ago), and change everything they can. We've all been there.
I have elderly family members, 85-plus, who can't understand why the UI changes all the time and they have to continually relearn. Explained this way, they get it, but still say, "they need to remember that not everyone wants to relearn everything every couple of years".
It's easy to remember our youth, and think of how easy it was. And it may have been for us (well, I was working or in college most of the 80s), but not our parents who foot the bills.
As someone who graduated college when the 1980s came to an end, I can say it was unusual for a household to HAVE a computer. They were a major purchase, any communication with the outside world was via dial-up modem to a BBS, and most families had no practical reason for them.
This solutions captures the majority of spam and phishing. Occasionally, a well-crafted piece of spam gets through, and I check the Postfix config to see if I can close that hole.
What I do monitor closely are the valid emails that Postfix rejects. This happens a couple times per month, and is mainly due to the sender using GMail, and Google's mail servers being marked as sending spam.
Overall, I'm pleased with this solution. It's minimal configuration, minimal maintenance, maximum usefulness.
When I was 5, I started driving an older tractor. When I was 6, we were fixing a pasture fence when my dad told me to go drive the pickup the 50 yards or so to where we were at. He verbally walked me through it, and let me go get it. I remember that moment like it was yesterday.
And that was not a unique experience, for farm kids at least.
Now, parents would be criminally charged with something.
Did he go all passive-aggressive over those items? Did he discuss them with her? Would she consider changing her behavior, even minor?
It takes two to tango.
The amendment attached to this bill is probably a "poison pill amendment". The bill itself plays well PR-wise. But the amendment probably contains language politically damaging to the opposition party.
I still do.

It's funny, silly, totally 80s, but one of the best inspirational business movies out there. It is my go-to when in the same demotivated funk.
But I digress.
Looking back on the three decades since I graduated college in '90 (with CompSci as one of my 3 majors), there were three things which I saw as big game-changers, and became both a user and ardent evangelist for: the TCP/IP Internet, Linux, and Free/Open Source.
Today, it's easy to think of these as a given. But in the 90's they were not, with many battles fought, the outcome of which was not always clear, not always successful. Competing protocols, OS', applications and platforms, business interia and ignorance (not in the negative sense, but unaware/uneducated), and commercial companies protecting revenue flow ("No one ever got fired for buying IBM/Microsoft/Novell/Oracle").
