I wonder if the technique can be flipped, by asking the student (who wishes to learn) teacher (in her role as a teacher) to 'teach' someone who actually has a more depth of knowledge and actually the teacher here (playing the role of a student). It would then be a more challenging task for both and hence provide a more direct path to learning by teaching the teacher.
That's too high if you are considering students from all over the world. Why should it be more for outside US students?
OTOH, this looks promising (though I haven't read his 2012 book which spells out the 'vision'), and would be great if this can provide a framework for a democratized online schooling system with the flexibilities and features it provides.

I think you under-estimate how much fancy schools cost worldwide. In Bangkok, for example, a very good British-style education will cost you $18k per year at Patana, and if you really want to flash your cash you can drop $30k at Shrewsbury (British) or $30k at ISB (American).
I grew up as an expat kid, and this would have been a reasonable alternative for my parents, with the added bonus that I could have stayed with the same peer group and curriculum while they moved country. Socialisation would have been a bit harder but far from impossible.
> Why should it be more for outside US students?
My guess would be the US subsidises some aspect of this?
I have also seen Universities in the US to charge higher tuition for foreign students. Not entirely sure why. Mostly seems like it is because they know they can, and those students will pay in full. With no tuition assistance or anything like that.
In this case I am wondering if it could be related to needing additional staff to cover other time zones? Or maybe there are additional administrative paperwork needs for those students?
A question I had was whether a completely plant based diet avoid ingestion of microplastics, as most articles I see are focused on the aquatic ecosystem (probably because the density of pollution in our seas is arguably more than terrestrial). A quick google search turns up a lot of articles on the deleterious effect on plants as well, so I guess there is no escape. But perhaps (hopefully) a plant based (e.g. PBHF) diet can mitigate some of the risks imminent on a meat (mainly seafood?) based diet.
Economic use of post-treated sewage includes both greywater and sludge. Both are therefore presented to plants either in the root system or over green leaf material.
I would argue its tiny amounts, and far less likely to be concentrated the way mercury is in apex predator fish (tuna, swordfish) -But it would be wrong to assume veg-heavy diet automatically removes some risk of ingested plastics, if they are micro sized, soluable, and can be taken up in transpiration or by absorption due to contact.
I'm not wanting to oversell this: I think the plastics risk in food has been overstated for many people. Its a warning story about a risk side issue which has some extreme outliers. One survey I reviewed here after another HN story discussed Indian veg around a plastics factory which had a fire. I can assure you thats not normal agriculture practice, we don't routinely worldwide burn BPA containing plastic feedstock over our plants.
Technically the core consists of both UP (User plane) and CP (Control plane). In 4G this was MME (Mobility management entity) for CP and the S-GW and P-GW (Serving and packet gateway - which interfaces to the internet) for UP. In 5G this has been replaced with VNFs such as AMF and others for the CP and UPF (User plane function) for UP. The 5G core is truly distributed and designed from the base to have re-usable and third party VNFs with well defined (REST based) APIs so it is really a game changer.
The RAN (Radio access network) and core split is there since 2G, where the RAN in LTE is the ENB (E node B) and in 5G is the GNB (G node B).
I created /r/teamdo to enable something like this in general as I felt there is nothing existing. Perhaps there is but I am not aware. Unfortunately just creating a subreddit is not enough, there is hardly any traction.
