It took five years to write, but here's the full story behind Lambda School, Silicon Valley's disastrous foray into for-profit education.
I explain how they burned through $120 million in funding, why Income Share Agreements failed, the crimes committed along the way, and how one developer turned journalist put an end to the fraud.

I wish people could see how ugly it is to be envious, and how obvious it is to those around you when that's what's happening.
I mean, the way companies work these days, they weren't going to get promoted anyway… or get a meaningful pay raise for that matter.
This has been true prettymuch since the original dot com bubble days. The only way to stay 'industry average' is to jump ship every couple of years. Stick around any more than that, you risk a massive pay gap.
Here it is: An inside look at what it’s like to serve on a board of directors, in organizations ranging from tiny non-profits all the way up to multi-billion-dollar companies. This covers a lot of the biggest topics and questions people have asked me over the years about how this stuff actually works. anildash.com/2024/06/20/dash-b…
OTTAWA – Wealthy Canadians have begun a ‘Freegains convoy’ to Ottawa in their BMW X3s in protest of the government’s plan to raise the inclusion rate on annual capital gains in excess of $250,000.00 dollars.

A few min ago, we said goodbye to our baby Cookie, who lived till 14 years and 8 months. She was born in Malaysia, lived in Singapore, stopped over in Finland where she picked up a EU pet passport, and lived the last 6 years of her life in San Francisco where she was greatly beloved by all.
She had two beautiful and healthy months with us, from her last ER visit. After another one this week, we learned that she would decline further.

Länder fordern konkrete Modelle zu Asylverfahren in Drittstaaten
Die Bundesländer wollen vom Bund konkrete Vorschläge sehen, wie Asylverfahren in Drittstaaten möglich sein könnten. Darauf einigten sie sich bei ihrer Konferenz. Beim Thema Bezahlkarte für Flüchtlinge gab es eine Einigung.
The conversation with @josh and @matthew about @matrix on @FLOSS_Weekly was fascinating and for once I would have enjoyed more than an hour. Matthew's frustration with trying to explain to legislators why #ChatControl and #OnlineSafetyBill are so misguided was especially striking - I do hope @EUCommission listen.
This week Jonathan Bennett and Simon Phipps chat with Matthew Hodgson and Josh Simmons about Matrix, the open source decentralized communications platform. How is Matrix a Git for Communications? A…
I've been doing more work on GNOME's issue management docs this week. The issue reporting and issue review guides have both been significantly improved. 🎉
Each GNOME module has an issue tracker in its GNOME GitLab project. This is where problems with GNOME’s software can be reported. General guidelines: GNOME’s issue tracker is a vital development to...
Is your inbox stealing your time and focus like your dryer steals socks? Treating your email like you'd ideally treat your laundry (no floor wardrobes here) can help put you in control of your inbox, instead of the other way around. Read our tips and tricks for putting this method to work in Thunderbird - and as always, we'd love to read about your productivity hacks and practices!
The first thing I (have to) do is disable Threaded view in a newly added mailbox and the propagate that view to each folder under that mailbox. To then repeat that for new folders.
I noticed that general Spam settings (I think new), override the spam settings individually set with each mail account. I think new as it annoyed me utterly when marking mail as spam didn't move it to the spam folder. Took me a while to find that general setting, where I had even checked the settings >2
My approach hasn't changed much since the mid 90s. I have server-side rules to deliver mailing list messages to various folders. Whatever is delivered to the inbox should be intended for me personally. If it requires a response, and I can't reply immediately, I leave it in the inbox as read. When I've finished with it, I archive the message (whether a response was needed or not).
@jason As one of our favorite childhood movies from the 90s said, if it's not broke (or Baroque), don't fix it! We're glad you've got a system that works for you.

“Buh, Aral, #Fedora is a volunteer project… you a nasty bum-bum criticising us for shipping an operating system without a functional screen reader by default for EIGHT YEARS…”
Meanwhile, in reality: “The Fedora Project is not a separate legal entity or organization; Red Hat retains liability for its actions.”
I get that the people that spend a ton of hours working on these projects, without compensation, as volunteers, don't agree that they bear responsibility for this.
What I don't get is why they throw themselves in front of the billion dollar company that not only failed to invest in better accessibility, but that also failed to compensate them for their work.
To put it another way, instead of the response you characterize in your post, they could also have responded with:
"Yes, it's embarrassing we don't have a functioning screenreader yet. Sadly being the volunteer run project we are we've never had the money or resources to work on this yet.
And now you mention it, it is a little weird that we don't get help and compensation for this, and other work, from the company that owns this project and benefits from our free labor.
In-Process is out! This week featuring the NVDA 2024.2 Release Candidate, user Arthur’s Experience in Brazil, the new Synth Settings Ring commands, and a long piece on assigning new Input gestures / keystrokes. Check it out at: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-2…
We’re nearly at the stable release of NVDA 2024.2! While we prepare, we thought we’d try something new – a table of contents so you can quickly find out / jump to the various articles i…
hi @NVAccess Can you fix the lang= tag on this page? It makes some screen readers speak in German. That's an interesting lang tag by the way. nvaccess.org/files/nvda/docume…
Thank you for reporting - clearly that is a bug (and an interesting language - At a guess, more people might have assumed the developer guide was in Greek, not German - we fooled them! 🙃 ) - and yes, definitely something we should be able to fix! Thanks again :)
Hi Martin, I have an update for you - this issue had been picked up and has been fixed. We release updates to the developer and user guides at the same time as NVDA updates. We're on the release candidate build for NVDA 2024.2, so there will actually be an update in the next week or so. Thanks so much for highlighting it!
Definitely! And I'm glad we could be so responsive on this issue :) As a bonus update - something else I found out in investigating, we are planning to add the developer guide to our files to be translated - which should both ensure any issues like this are seen by more people before they go live, and also that it will be translated for users developing for NVDA who natively speak languages other than English :) github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue…
Issue opened after discussion in #13119 (comment) and #13119 (comment) regarding translated developer's guides. Steps to reproduce: List the file names in all the language subfolders of user_docs f...
