Chiming in as a Midwest engineering manager here (Michigan). There's no lack of talent in the Midwest, although it's certainly a different calculus to try and match hiring to the supply/demand of engineers here and not everyone does so appropriately.
Is this what they did with the PullPanda acquisition? We had started using that a bit, but not being able to add new users as of late and the general pause in feature development seemed like something else was up.
They moved a bunch of it to Github out of PullReminders yesterday. I would go to your personal settings in GH and look at "Scheduled Reminders", which is where the old PullReminders functionality got moved. It's possible it's only there for pre-acquisition users, but that's where it should end up if it's generally available now.
There’s a bit of a rat race in colleges posturing to get ahead of each other always, and that takes capital investment and the recourse to raise funds ends up being tuition.
These things and reputations take years and tons of willpower and planning, so the risk of falling behind is immense.
If only we were somehow able to remove the ability to peacock and ensure everyone going through the system got a good education.... then rich people and employers would have much less to work with in terms of picking candidates based on school "reputation".

Good professors are rare. Good classmates are rare. Distributed education lets benefits from the former scale, albeit with degradation. There is no known way to scale access to the network of a good college experience.
Education quality varies with respect to both of the above. As a result, there is a scaling limit. As a result, there will be scarcity until the preconditions are solved or the scaling limits released.
One solution I heard is changing the loan requirement to be a fixed price sole payment accepted with zero required additional bundling. They can have scholarships but none of this "must stay in our dorms the first year and meal plan, books must be bought from here now suddenly several thousand each" mark up smuggling opportunity bullshit. So there would be a driven for efficiency. You want federal money for education? It is accept $35K/yr per student or get bent.
There would be fine tuning in the numbers and parameters but that would kill price as a signal as a good thing as it forces either public rates or exorbitant private school which thinks they can actually make more without the massive prime consumer pool.
Even as someone working on a really big global app with hundreds of engineers, people also underestimate that although the core of something might not be all that complex, all the auxiliary parts and necessary edge cases add tons of complexity that you have to handle if you want a complete product. You can only get away dodging that for so long.
Hard in the general case, but I'll bet it's trivial to scan for the Facebook SDK, or any other blacklisted libraries, unless they're intentionally obfuscated.
For 5, usually a pitcher and catcher will through multiple signs with a runner on second to scramble the signal, and usually you don’t get enough pitches in to determine which sign is real. With the aid of a camera, the Astros were getting these signals very quickly even though teams were suspicious and using “runner on second” signs against them often.
We at least use one internally at my big corp. It's nice because instead of routing to some non-vanity URL that looks more like a raw Azure host, we can register x.company.com/whatever to redirect to it. Can only access the links and shortener from inside the firewall.
I’m still struggling to find out what exactly is required for mobile apps in particular. Our legal team (very big company) told us we have to add a link to our Privacy Policy on every screen of our app, so hundreds. Where can I find things like requirements on those, or is it just really vague?
That sounds like overkill but IANAL. You should only need to post the disclosures before the info is collected, where the info is collected.
Shameless plug: we put together a more readable version of the CCPA with all the amendments incorporated here [1] and an outline of the proposed enforcement regulations here [2]
