Those who control the laws, don't usually break the laws.

For example, when you write your own game, you can come up with any rules you want. You want goats to fly -- sure, you got flying goats. Some characters have more stamina than others? -- just tweak some config file.

Well, it is not dissimilar for those in power -- they are making the rules. If they stop liking the laws, they'll just lobby to change them. Therefore asking "but how many of them are in jail" doesn't make much sense. Why would they put themselves in jail?

>>2) College educates you not just for your first job

I agree largely with your points but I would point out that if #2 on your list is true in some regard, it's highly ineffective. People with college degrees start unnecessary wars. People with college degrees ruin economies with finance schemes designed for maximum personal profit over the interest in a healthy society. People with college degrees beat their partners and children. People with college degrees abuse substances, and they fall prey to the ravages of induced mental health issues and poor physical health choices like obesity or sedentary lifestyles.

In addition I've found many Americans with college degrees to be incurious about the world outside their own life and often outright hostile to intellectualism.

Not all people with college degrees are like this of course, but enough to make me think that if #2 is an intended and assumed function of post-secondary education then these institutions are not very effective in that mission when you compare the credentialed population with the rest of us.

And yes, I have no college degree. Despite high-test scores, AP credit in math, sciences, history and English, sports and other activities I was only accepted to my State Schools' Engineering program out of my applications, and only begrudgingly, which meant I had to actually write a lett er to the Dean's office about how very very much I wanted to be an Engineer. When I got there I realized how much of the 'education' offered was ridiculous nonsense. I had to drop out after a year to attend to some family issues and was forced to enter the workforce immediately doing tech support and clawed my way into professional software development.

It's been a struggle most of the time not having a degree I can simply point to, but that's been mostly due to having to overcome the biases of the credentialed versus those of us with no formal credentials. I consider myself incredibly fortunate in life though, as for example I'm composing this post from Kolkata after taking an amazing and profound trek through the Himalayas. None of my friends with college degrees have done this ;)
Gotcha, and I agree with your assessment on those. I've seen a lot of pro-Apple arguments characterizing developers with IMO legitimate gripes as "whiny" and that's immediately what I thought of here, but glad to be wrong in this case.

This is interesting as an accounting student. The big 4 audit firms which hire the bulk or entry-level accountants have traditionally played favorites with schools.

The best solution is we have is to tax the rich and use that money to educate everyone else. That's who should pay for it: people who have too much.

I think it is a mistake to assume that resources spent on giving people an education will be spent on healthcare or other stuff. What's most likely going to happen is that the relevant cut in public spending will be made into a tax cut.

Experiment a new way to track the world live
I drink a fair amount of diet coke/coke zero, so I've looked into aspartame more than a few times, and I have never come back concerned. I haven't seen a study that points a serious health risk to consuming aspartame found in a consumable amount of diet soda, yet it remains controversial, scary, and evil, as this article indirectly implies. This is a common belief too.

So, if the science refutes claims of danger, yet the belief persists, why shouldn't Coke promote its safety? It is one thing if a company is promoting bunk research to get away with something, but I really don't see the problem here.
BS - I worked at Netflix for over 2 years and took lots of vacations - long ones too.
hahahahahaha. This sounds godawful. I think this is the best argument I've ever heard for the great person theory of history[1]. I think the next time I hear someone deny it I will point them at this work of the crowd. (In case I didn't express it sufficiently, I think it's clear that most important progress is made by individuals doing something great, and standing out from the crowd - something that is true not only for every composer who lived, but inventors, entrepreneurs, philosophers, writers, scientists, what-have-you. I've heard rather large orchestras play well without a conductor: but not truly well.) I realize this link certainly does nothing prove my thesis, but it shows a good reflection of my thinking about the alternative claim, i.e. by analogy. I like it! It's a true experiment. (I was expecting a better result.)

Why since 2005, are things the wrong way around? Increases in temperature match with increases in ice levels??!!

e.g. 2005 to 2007 saw a 0.09 decrease in temperature above norm, and a 1.16million km2 decrease in ice?

Then as the temperature increased, the ice did too, up to 2010, then temp and ice decline to 2012.

Since 2012 temp has been rising again and so has the ice.

And you wonder why there's skeptics out there?!

You can clearly see the overall trends of heat rising and ice decreasing, but graphs like this shouldn't be thrown out to the masses without reasonable explanation of the anomalies of the last 10 years.
> More efficient engines are generally smaller and less powerful, which does not satisfy customers.

They are also less safe for freeway driving.

On a recent vacation, I recently visited Albuquerque NM, driving around there requires a fast powerful engine to get up to speed ASAP, or accidents will happen.

In comparison, when I visited Boston, I rented a Fiat 500 and loved it, it was perfect for zipping around a those old narrow winding city roads, in and out of traffic, and finding parking. Heck I didn't pay for parking in Boston once while I was there!

Freeway driving is the norm for most of America though. A tiny engine won't due, it will however get someone ran over.
Yeah man! I'm repulsed by all software that tries to have an attitude.

People with attitudes are cool when they keep themselves fresh and upredictable, and adapt to the feedback they get. When 'attitude' is repetitive or predictable, or doesn't heed it's feedback, it becomes a horribly grating gimic.

I want my computers to be computer-like. Predictable, flavorless tools that give feedback in terms of 'success' or 'error' only. I don't want a virual personal assistant that tries to cover its lack of functionality with 'personality'. I don't want my activity monitor to encourage me to reach 'goals' it set. I don't want my project management software to include rewards- how fucking patronizing is that? The reward is the project that I'm working on! Not a color splash or smiley face in the glorified checklist I'm using!

Good news: the US is currently at war with ISIS.

Bad news: that hasn't helped for a while. I would wager it hasn't helped since the rise of the MIC.

Note also: lots of general labor/bagging groceries people has diplomas. But that's just because pretty much everyone has a diploma. I would be extremely surprised if they thought they were actually using their degrees.

It's a crap situation, and victim blaming doesn't help (not directed at you). We just happened to be lucky that we like STEM. I know I was lucky enough to find my passion before college, then follow it, which luckily just happened to be a booming field.

> Every other advanced country

This meme is repeated so much and it's really glossing over the truth. It's usually referring to Europe, Australia, and Canada. Sometimes Japan. What's left out is that most of those countries are economically stagnant, have massive youth unemployment, and exercise almost no international influence. The West has been in a rut for a couple of decades and the US is actually the shining star of the bunch. We have the most productive, most innovative, and most dynamic economy of all of these countries. We are wealthier per capita than pretty much all of them, save for a couple city-states and oil-rich countries. Let's keep that in mind when we use this "every other advanced country" meme.

By centralizing all procurement of a drug for an entire country through a single contract, of course countries are able to negotiate better prices than what Americans pay in a more free market. This is especially true given the structure of the pharma business, with massive up-front costs and almost-zero marginal costs. You could do the same with countless products. But this is it's own kind of abuse. Instead of being paid the market price, pharma companies are paid the lowest-price they could absolutely tolerate. They also have to worry about the political fallout of walking away from a deal when the cheap-skating government tries to blame them for the lack of a deal.

There's definitely ways in which drug pricing can become abusive and needs to be regulated, especially because government intervention via patents is partially responsible for enabling these abuses. But let's not throw out the baby with the bath water. A free market for drugs makes sure that companies can recoup their investments and make a reasonable profit. If pharma companies don't feel that they can do that, they won't invest in new drugs. Also, I don't want to live in a place where the availability of a treatment is determined by some government committee that determines what the value of a month of my life is.

A final thought, sticker prices for drugs are thrown around as evidence that drugs are overpriced, but 1) no one ever pays the sticker price, it's always negotiated way down and 2) these drugs provide immense value. Antiretroviral drugs, for example, turn HIV from an imminent death sentence into a very manageable disease like diabetes. Thousands of dollars a month is pretty reasonable when you consider that.

This is something that is super-frustrating to communicate in these discussions. I end up talking with people from the previous generation a lot, and this is something I hear, "how did you not know that that was dumb and shallow?"

Here's how: from grade school up onto high school, kids in my generation were told, by literally every adult around, "get a degree, it doesn't matter what in, you'll get a good job." The language never differed, there was never talk of trades, of military service, of starting a business, none of that. Every single adult and authority figure said the same thing.

When you're young, even if you start questioning stuff like that, when everyone you turn to says the same thing, where are you supposed to go for other points of view?

As far as I know Madoff is the only one who went to jail, and he obviously didnt play a role in creating the crisis, he just was discovered because of it. The biggest offender that should absolutely be in jail in my opinion is Dick Fuld. If you dont know anything about it, read about REPO 105[2]. It is mind boggling to me that that guy didnt get 1 day behind bars, and from what I have read - he actually got to keep all his money made during years before when he was leveraged ???:1.

Creating a raster image can just use the normal painting codepath, since that's what a browser has to do anyway to get pixels up on the screen.

Encoding stuff in SVG, on the other hand, requires adding a lot more plumbing (and some parts of it, like element() backgrounds it's not immediately clear how you'd do without rasterizing things).

Of course, but the most well developed theory pedagogically and theoretically is first order classical logic. So, it's the best place to learn all of the standard concepts like derivability, completeness and soundness theorems, and all of that jazz. That's how I learned it and then my interests soon turned to intuitionistic logics and type theories. Still, the metatheory is very similar and the metatheoretic differences between logics are often framed as deviations from the metatheory of first order classical logic.

They also mention in the discussion that even identical twins can have differences in their fingerprints, implying that uterine environment plays a role in defining fingerprint features. Given this, I wonder if it's not the case that some of the variance that they are ascribing to ancestry might actually be better explained by socioeconomic conditions.

I couldn't agree more about the intrinsic or potential value of the idealized university, and I've seen glimpses of that ideal in my small sliver of experience there.

I was using hyperbole for rhetorical reasons, but the words were chosen deliberately.

Grotesque: college athletics. Hyper-social: the Greek system, "hookup culture". Playground: grade inflation. All egregious, ubiquitous examples. Sure, there are many exceptions, but in my experience at decent to good campuses, these things are dominant influences, if not the definitive ones. This includes most of the great American campuses. (I don't know much about what it's like outside the US.)

Universities cannot be serious places if they are filled with unserious people doing unserious things. No institution could.
