Ask HN: Suggestions for learning Java?
Hey guys, I'm starting my next semester in a week, and one of my courses is in java.
It has been two years since I have taken a class that needed Java, so I no longer have my old text books.

Was looking for some good resources you guys would recommend? I just want to get familiar with the syntax again before classes start.

Any recommendations? (Even from beginners guides to good refresher books)

Thanks all.

Looking Beyond Hype before Leaping to HTML5

Ask HN: What went wrong with the student debts in the US?
So, I am a European watching the explosive, bubble-like growth of tuition in the US and current attempts to cancel some of the debt, which would be a de-facto partial bankruptcy of the system. What has gone wrong?

I heard several explanations, all of them plausible and none seemingly complete:

a) people aged 18-19 are bad at this kind of heavy financial decisions,

b) colleges compete on amenities and overall experience, which costs a lot of money and is only tangential to the real quality of education; for some reason, no one bucks the trend and prospective students choose the coolest school, to their future ruin,

c) cancerous growth of administrators, now much outnumbering the core staff, basically a bureaucracy that hasn't yet hit the economic ceiling of self-empowerment.

I would be interested in insights of HN readers. Also regarding the fact that paying tuition is generally considered a right-wing policy in Europe (as opposed to the school being financed from taxes), but at the same time tertiary education in the US skews heavily left; why would right-wing politicians help finance hostile institutions?

Why are people surprised that Internet.org aims to make money in the long run?
Shortly after the announcement of Internet.org, there's a backlash brewing because people are starting to realize after some critical thinking that the project will eventually make the companies behind it money.

So what?

Yes, new internet users will be forfeiting their data to be bought and sold online. Yes, new users will need to start paying for services eventually.

So what?

This project will give people who don't have connectivity a chance to join the internet world, and yes, they'll eventually need to join our ranks and data-creators, consumers, and customers.

Ask HN: Where are some unique places to find jobs?
I've recently come to the conclusion that I'd like to move to a different city, preferably one significantly outside of the Midwest.

Looking for a new position (I really have no interest in going into business for myself) is harder than I expected, however, as I no longer have the college pipeline of job postings to rely on.

Monster.com (and related sites) seem like an awful lot of cruft - do any of you have any useful advice as to where to start looking if I want to find something unique.

I'm about a year out of college and don't really have any problem with my current job (hence the throwaway account I created) - I just yearn for something out of the ordinary.
Ask HN: Slow download to company's website, except on VPN
I recently signed up for Internet service with Magenta (formerly T-Mobile) in Vienna, Austria. It's a basic 40 down / 10 up home service, and generally works well and as-advertised.

EXCEPT!

I am also starting a new job at a company that serves a web app hosted in AWS (us-east-1). After cutting over to Magenta, my web calls to static files and API calls to this web app are taking a very long time. For example, it takes between 2-5 minutes to download a 6 MB file. I am the only one at my company who is experiencing this, and no customers are reporting any issues!

This evening, I tried downloading the same 6 MB file while connected to an Austrian VPN offered by NordVPN, and the download took 2 seconds!

Any thoughts about what might be happening to me, or suggestions on what to try to debug/isolate the issue? Thanks!
Is Social Network Content the Credit Score of the future?
Almost all of us have one or more social networking accounts that we either are just members of because of peer pressure (even though all we do on it is go on other people’s profile to see their most updated pictures) or because we really do want to share our daily life stories with our friends. Facebook has already more than 500 million users and they still are relatively new in terms of monetizing the vast information. Considering the rate at which Facebook and Twitter are growing, there is no denying that the information about each person on these networks is going to become even more important than what it is today.
I came across an article yesterday that said if you want to become a cop, you have to make sure the content on your facebook and twitter account is clean. Recruiters sit with the candidate and ask them to log into their accounts and both the candidate and recruiter look through the content for any content that might hurt the candidate’s chances of becoming a cop. However ludicrous it might sound, it is the fact. Even if corporate recruiters don’t make it as explicit, they still try to dig up any kind of information that will aid them in making a hiring decision. Almost 85% of recruiters agree that online social reputation plays an important decision in the hiring process. With more and more people sharing information on Facebook and Twitter, the cleanliness of the content thats being posted will become really crucial. The saying goes “Never judge a book by its cover”, but in the digital age, the first thing that anyone does when they want to know more about a person is either google them or look up their facebook account to see what kind of a person he or she is. They might call it researching the person, but at the end of the day its judging who the person is with the information that he or she is sharing online.
Back to my original point of recruiters looking up social network content, I don’t think that day is far when going for a job interview, along with a resume one would also take a score of their online content that would prove they are worthy of the job. I feel social networking and its content scoring is going to be something similar to a credit score. You want to build it (since zero credit history is not good either) but you want to make sure that it is a good score since lot of things will be dependent upon it.
