Yeah, the TSA's behavior is disgusting.

If you want things to change in your favor, you need to howl from the rooftops and make people understand the trouble the TSA puts you through. Personal accounts are the most compelling. Write your congressman!
Not really. This is more organized misogyny than voluntary celibacy. If you take a look at their forums, they are more concerned with criticism of women and feminism than celibacy.

Secretary of State's office for a particular state. WA charges some trivial amount for the trouble.

There are companies that add a bit of value by collecting the data and spiffing up the formatting a bit, then burning it to a CD/DVD for you. When I ran for city council of Redmond, WA, I went 15 minutes down the road to a place in Bellevue and just picked up the CD. It gives name, address, and whether or not one voted in each of the last X elections. SELECT * FROM voters WHERE "voter voted in 50% of elections" to get bang for the walking-door-to-door buck, throw that into MapPoint (tells you how long ago it was), and print out the walking sheets.
Easy to understand UI, imho. It'd be nice to be able to add notes for days in the past, in case you forgot to fill in one day. Also, is it possible to edit a topic once it's created?
Cowokers in NYC told me years back to never approach NYPD if mugged. "They'd rather make you a PI than hurt the mayor's stats."
Thinking the wrong thing and feelings getting hurt. Picking the person who doesn't pick you. Forgetting someone and making them feel unimportant. Not choosing your kids firstly and when they don't choose you and your next choice is your biggest mistake. Getting lost in love that doesn't exist.letting media control you. Listening to rumors. Bad communication, and discernment. Letting anyone control you or take your rights away. Running away. Illegally being blocked by someone using our services and it effecting my pursuit of happiness. Letting go of discrimination against me, and not pursuing Justice for myself and family and friends. Not checking and fixing paperwork and getting involved in govt. Fraud. From banks, public agencies and law. Not fighting for my rights as a human being and continuing to let these assholes invade my privacy. Letting others steal my ideas and my life. Letting the law say I'm guilty before innocent. Having instincts and not reacting fast enough. Letting others talk bad to me without hitting them.Not tracking my money. Writing my brother. Not getting a career as a secret shopper and shutting down all bad utility companies for fraud and bad businesses. Letting others control my thoughts. Ever admitting I was an addict. Getting excited over nothing. Being too humble that it weakens you. Not accepting I'm crazy. Feeling sorry for everyone but myself. Helping everyone over ME. Letting my son leave. Not cleaning the other room so there's more room. Waiting on someone to save you when all you have is yourself. Believing in dreams come true.
I took home economics in 1997 or 1998. Pretty much consisted of popping a container of Pillsbury biscuits or cinnamon rolls, placing them on a cookie sheet, and waiting 15-20 minutes to take them out of the oven.

That's easy. I have my own data. I've been keeping track of it since I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes. I have not followed an "Atkins" diet, but converged upon it with regards to my own health. I only recently actually read up about that after talking with an RN at the local hospital's Diabetes school.

> Food is a packaged deal. You can't eat cholesterol-laden meals without also consuming vast amounts of saturated fat, for instance.

And your trite unsubstantiated opinion matters not. What does matter are the lab tests. If your assertion is true, then my LDL will show unhealthiness. As of the test 3 weeks ago, only triglycerides, fasting glucose, and a1c were out of spec.

And you also ignore with "vast amounts of saturated fat": I have been eating much less. So your 'vast amounts' are also unsubstantiated.

In the end, more blood tests (data) will confirm whether I am right or not. Not silly bickering on HN.
Yeah, there's a difference though between having been raised in a different culture and not being aware of local norms and being just ignorant. One you can simply and easily solve with a short conversation, the other you just have to grin and bear because any attempt to better the situation could easily make it worse. At my coffee shop, very few people are actually trying to be rude.

Hell, even if they are, what happened to that famous English weaponized politeness? Does nobody bother to develop that anymore?
I like the idea of text-mode browsing, but I find the translation of CSS causes practical problems whether its elinks link lynx etc. For example, Hacker News nested comments are displayed as being on one level. There is a hack to fix this, but per-site hacks is not a usable way to browse the web.
Getting a chunk of stock options with huge upside seems palatable vs guaranteed shares at a large tech company. Offering me a 15% discount seems insignificant. The moment you go public, everyone is going to buy all the shares available. How do you decide how many each person can buy? If I buy before an exit event, I am taking on even more risk than the option because now I am paying all of the taxes. This offers no benefits, but increased tax risk and I'm paying more to buy shares in the first place.
To which they will likely retort with the part of their script dealing with Constitution-free zones in airports and near the borders.

As I've said elsewhere in this discussion: You can't win the war by losing battles on the ground. You have to take the fight to the top. If you want change, you have to approach it politically, as disgusting as that concept is. Unfortunately, I fear it will take an entire new generation of Congress to effect that change, and with no term limits that will never happen.

Agreed.

I went to an affordable, in-state university. My father was wise enough to advise me that I was taking on debt for myself, and should think very hard about the economic consequences of my decision.

Some parents are just way too nice to their kids, and these two are in that bracket.

I've found it very amusing as I've grown up to notice this is a pattern in otherwise well-meaning, financially successful baby-boomer parents: in stark contrast with my father and other parents like him, they seem to encourage their children to pursue their dreams without any regard to reality. I suspect my father's financial struggles gave him a sense of practicality that some of the executives I work with never had in advising their own kids.

I have 3 executives I've reported to in the past year. One of them subsidizes her 30 year old daughter's life of studying Middle Eastern cultures. Another subsidizes his son's death metal band (which he abandoned his Music degree midway for), and the third is paying for his daughter's failing business, openly complaining about the fact that she doesn't seem to show up for work very often and has hired people despite lacking revenue to even pay for herself.

Parents enabling bad decisions is never a good thing.
As the article notes, a good portion of the information is already public like you've said. However, as I see it, there are two types of "exposure" at play here. I took the "exposure" in the headline to mean "a publicly accessible database is serving up information that the owner might not have intended to reveal," rather than "sensitive personal/private information has become public." In my opinion, the "exposure" being described does not have to be the latter type to be unsettling or worthy of mention.

If Tomorrow Never Comes
The problem with Microsoft hasn't been that they've never been able to inspire excitement with a product (remember currier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Courier, or Kinect) but rather their execution on those products.

Only half of Apple's genius is their design, the other half is their incredible execution machine, in large part thanks to the work that Tim Cook did. Microsoft used to have an incredible execution machine, with mediocre design. Now they are struggling with both.

Microsoft has gotten a lot better in design, particularly in the hardware space, but the questions is:

Does Microsoft have the needed DNA to align their incredible resources/brain power around a small set of products that will really make a difference for them?

Despite hololens and the surface products, this remains very unproven for me.

The real solution to this is to open up some kind of bond market for majors. Bundle up a bunch of student loans by major and create a partly public partly private debt obligations.

Schools have far too much incentive to lie about the value of different degrees. Parents and high school advisors don't have the necessary information.

A market device would give students the feedback they need to plan their futures.

Plus if large employers ever complain about the skills that grads are lacking, they can be asked to invest in the appropriate student loan category.
I would not happily return to them. In fact, I see no reason why. To me, they are still in their same embrace, extend, extinguish mode only that now their cycle is a lot longer. It could even be that nadella really thinks that he will always be in the embrace and extend phase. My gut feeling is that as soon as it becomes hugely beneficial to them somebody within the company will advocate for the extinguish phase. Don't trust Microsoft. It is in their DNA to screw you.

> Most psych/business majors would be better served working their way up through the ranks.

A little anecdotal story backing this up...

My wife started as a paraeducator (teacher's helper) at a school after graduating from high school. A few years later she started working at another school, helping homeless & migrant children. She eventually left that job to work with migrant/bilingual daycares. This process took 8 years.

She then pursued a degree in psychology. Why? Because her next advancement required the state to check a little box on her form that says: "Applicant has a B.S. in social studies or similar". Where did she go for the degree? The cheapest, online college she could find.

The degree didn't matter for 8 years. The place the degree came from didn't matter at all. The price of the degree mattered only to us. She would have gained nothing by pursuing the degree immediately, and racking up any sizable debt from this degree would've just been silly.
It is. PHP was clearly never designed with safety in mind, though, which is very unfortunate. The web would be a much better place if PHP tainted and escaped variables by default.

Although, to be fair, the solution to this is still the same as with any other web-facing language - use a framework (which will, eventually, just wrap htmlspecialchars around everything for you.) It just happens that other languages make those decisions for you and PHP doesn't. Developers pretend those languages are more "secure" when really the ugly low level stuff is just already hidden behind abstractions before they even approach a project.

Do you mean to say that you are worse or better than typical drivers? If you can't see objects in the road, you should slow down.
Few friends went to a state school in NJ and lived at home - literally could not get cheaper than this situation for us - and they ended up with between 20 and 40 thousand of student loans.

Yes, they did work part time. But 100-200 a week from a part time job doesn't go far. That's gas and lunch.

They certainly got some aid other than loans, but I do not know the level of scholarships they received. Might have been their problem!
Except then we'd be teaching the avoidance systems "whatever doesn't stand out is unworthy of attention; if you're not completely covered in blinking/reflective gadgets, well that's your own damn fault."

You are underestimating the brightness of your (blinking) lights and the reflective items. See this for a visual comparison of "invisible/reflective/reflective+lights": https://youtu.be/oAFQ2pAnMFA?t=1m12s

Indeed it is in my own individual interest as a cyclist to be visible; it is absolutely not in my best interest to even suggest to car drivers that "if it doesn't have a HUGE REFLECTING SIGN, it doesn't exist and therefore you don't have to worry about it."
> Source? Again and again, people only seem to look at the cost of education like education is a product that you buy at a store that could be gotten cheaper. College education is an experience, an exposure to new ideas, a gradual development of ancillary skills.

Few people are saying college has no value. Mostly people say what you get is not worth what you pay. My own anecdote - I am by all accounts a successful "business degree" person. While I went to my four year college with a business major, I also started my career in business/marketing, starting at $10 an hour in freshman year, and getting to the 99th percentile of income for my age by age 24. The growth I received from college was a rounding error compared to the growth I got from work experience in the same 4 year period and same amount of effort. And I was paid to get the work experience...

The problem with both of these is that CAMERAS with FLASHES do an exceptionally good job of exaggerating the effect. So in the real world it will never be as bright.

Not a lot.

I sometimes miss the more quiet world, getting lost in my own thoughts, interacting directly with people, idle pleasures of various kinds. Of course, I visit that world with an off-grid camping trip each year. A good week being in a beautiful place with no possibility of connecting to anything is awesome!

Then I get bored, play, hike, explore, talk, relax, and sort of reset. I come back charged and ready to go!

Really, my only regret is not having Internet sooner. I would have done so much more as a kid.
Those who earn bachelor's degrees do indeed earn more than those with only a high school education. But many people are vastly overpaying for this benefit.

Not to mention that this is not a controlled experiment. Maybe those who earn degrees would have earned more anyway. (Though I do suspect that college is very beneficial, for the reasons you cite.)

(Not commenting on the site/feature directly just the idea.)

As a person who wrote code for a year every day working on a game in my free time, you'd be surprised how much progress you make even if only putting in a bit of time every day. Or maybe you wouldn't be surprised. After all, 365 days * 0.5 hours / (40 hour/week work week) = 4.5 work weeks. So about a month of "full time work" that you would never have if you didn't invest in that half hour daily. Pretty neat. Good way to master a skill in your free time even if you're one of those people that says "I don't have time."

After completing the 365 day streak I even did a little informal "AMA" on reddit where me and some other people suggested their tips on staying productive when coding every day: (https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/37i77h/ive_been_wr...)

Perhaps it's just a London bias. We're averaging a cyclist fatality every month with severe injuries every week and a significant number of minor injuries daily.

I personally think it's the infrastructure more than anything else, and the prevailing TfL policies promoting high flow of traffic over liveable and calm environments.
In short, HtDP is a book about programming, whereas PLAI is a book about programming languages. You can think of PLAI as teaching you how to implement the tools you learn how to use in HtDP.

They both come from members of the PLT research group, so share a basic philosophy. In fact you use the very same tools (mostly structural recursion) in implementing languages that you learned in HtDP.

Theoretically yes (Intel does support OpenCL in their iGPU drivers), but performance will be mediocre at best. Faster than CPU hashing though.

You can use the most encrypted and anonymous apps you want, but if Microsoft can silently send you updates to your OS, can see what you're typing and send it to its servers (to "improve your experience", of course), and gives the US government access to its discovered zero-days months before it starts fixing them, then it's all kind of pointless.
Yup. "Nothing car-sized in my left mirror, turning...OH-SHIT-SINCE-WHEN-DO-I-HAVE-A-TRAM-WEDGED-IN-THE-CAR-DOOR?!?" is the most common collision scenario for light rail, just as "nothing car-sized in my mirror, let me open the door-OH-SHIT-THAT-BIKE-LANE-WASN'T-THERE-A-SECOND-AGO!!!" is for bikes.

"Sean is now pursuing another bachelor's degree, this time in computer science, from the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg. He is paying for this degree as he goes, with help from an internship program with the U.S. Navy."

So his mother and father, who both work for the Navy on the taxpayer's dime, got their son connected with an internship program for the Navy on the taxpayer's dime.

I have no doubt that this was 100% through merit, and had nothing to do with both of them having jobs there.

The Navy has another paid-internship and training program for college graduates with no job: it's called ENLISTING.
