> Housing is killer. On-campus was over $600/mo, higher than median apartment rent, and they shared with 3 other students.

That's insane. The whole point of on-campus housing is to provide very cheap but spartan accommodations. If nearby apartments are cheaper, there's no point to it.
Yes, that's ridiculous. (The submitted title was "Germany to make cash payments of more than 5,000 Euro illegal". We replaced it with the relevant part of the subtitle.)

Submitters: here is the relevant HN guideline:

Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait.

Note how replacing a title to make it more misleading and linkbait is the exact the opposite of that.

> There are numerous private lenders that offer student loans.

Not federally subsidized ones; the program under which such loans were offered through private lenders in addition to directly by the government was discontinued several years ago (as noted in the grandparent comment.) The upthread comment was about interest rates on federally subsidized loans.

Yeah, if you look downthread, like I said, I misread this comment.
I agree with the sentiment 100%, however there is reasonably only so many producers our society needs. We could give the non-producers a basic income. If it's disparate, you end up with class warfare. If there is not a large disparity, the producers stop producing since they can get the same outcome by sitting on their ass. Not sure what the solution is.

It's still kind of bad. Just try opening up a minified JS (or any kind of large file) file and watch your Atom become unresponsive for 5 minutes.
That was my thought as well.

High denomination notes used in the underground economy essentially represent a zero interest loan to the currency issuer. The United States actually considered reissuing the $1000 bill since the $100 greenbacks were losing criminal market share to the Euro.

Any major money laundering is done via asset purchases, primarily using banks in the City, the Caribbean, and (for the VIP Platinum Club Elite oligarchs) Luxembourg.

So money laundering is an excuse to ban high denomination cash transactions. The question is why.
Does anyone know what theme/tool is being used for those docs? (http://dev.lelylan.com/)
I don;t feel that this is true at all. Few other companies can produce consumer loyalty as those who provide an O/S with which you operate a machine. One of those other industries is automobiles. I really never got it but my father, brother, uncles and cousins were all 'loyalists' to particular auto brands. None of them liked Ford and would trash Ford products as though one of their vehicles ran over grandma. Since Ford did not take any money from the auto bailout in 2009(?) guess who's family is filled with Ford's? - and they rave about how awesome they are.
Point is these are cyclical things. MS will have it's time in the sun again as long as operating systems are a thing. The thing that should scare people is that companies have 'institutional memory'. I feel like Apple, having been so close to closing down in the late 90's could get to that place again and feel like it's not a big deal cause they have been in that spot before. Meaning no one freaks out until it's too late.
MS really bit it when they missed the mobile and tablet markets. And both times can be attributed to bad leadership by Ballmer. When the Board let him go, MS still had great financials but their future was uncertain because they were not even competing with Apple and Google (In a realistic way). Point is MS doesn't wait until a the money dries up to try and right the ship.
Major Kindle Update to Try to Get People to Buy More Books
Beside the fact this is low, I wonder if they worked in inflation for this. When US customs introduced the 10,000 limit way back when ten thousand was a lot more than if is now, so basically these static limits decrease automatically every year in real terms.

In a few cases these numbers are tied to inflation, but many aren't.
Not to mention severely limiting freedom of the individual.

Look at the Eich's ousting - donate to the wrong party, support an "objectionable" point of view, and you stand to lose everything. Maybe CEO's should expect this sort of scrutiny. Maybe it's even justified. However, removing one of the few means of privately utilizing wealth left in the world (Bitcoin isn't there yet, and might never be) means that private individuals can expect that same sort of public scrutiny over all their actions.

Reading this sounds like strident distopian conspiracy ravings, but I honestly do believe there is a push by governments and large corporations (Google, BoA, etc) to have total information awareness about the day to day dealings of everyone, be it for "security" or data mining or what have you. I believe that push is fundamentally opposed to the spirit of liberalism that let us develop advanced democracies. Quite frankly, I think the possibility of a bit (or more than a bit) of money laundering is an easy price to pay in exchange for personal privacy.
The partisan politics on this issue are pretty interesting. The NC governor (who unsuccessfully vetoed this law) is a Republican. But Republicans in the state legislature voted[1] 67-3 to override the veto. Democrats voted 33-12 to uphold it.

Unlike this comment, mine was written in good faith. I thought you might have had an example of a set of circumstances in which a judicial search warrant was deemed, perhaps by some higher court, to have been unconstitutional owing to what it tried to search.
They are. Kind of. You are just underestimating the scale of Java.

There are millions of Java devs. If 1% of them move to a better JVM language that's 10,000+ programmers who have moved. That is a lot of developers jumping ship.

In addition, by jumping ship they really mean starting new development in another language... They aren't rewriting their millions of lines of Java code. So they still maintain this code and as such would still be flagged as Java programmers.

> Students aren't allowed to declare bankruptcy on their loans now

If you mean they can't discharge the loans when they declare bankruptcy, this is a popular myth that, while it has some relation to fact, is not actually true -- it is difficult to discharge student loans in bankruptcy (and more difficult for some than others), but they are not impossible to discharge.

See, e.g., http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/student-loan-ranger/20...
anonymous crypto currences (zerocash) could maybe fill that void (I strongly hope ... otherwise our privacy is going to be totally buggered). The real reason is probably not money laundering but the German Finanzamt (IRS) who wants to closer monitor what you do. They already have access to your bank account and can check any time without your knowledge.
OK yes. That's correct. I think perhaps it's easy to read your comment and think that there aren't private lenders at all anymore. I just wanted to point out that this is not the case.

You're correct that private student loan lending is no longer subsidized and hence the rates tend to be higher.
You seem to be confused. api's claim was that getting rid of people who know what they're doing, and expecting success, never works. You seem to be arguing that other things can fail to work. That's true; nobody claimed otherwise. Your replies therefore seem to be aimed at strawmen; nobody here has expressed the position you are arguing against.
Can you elaborate a bit more? What do you mean by "You can just buy/sell and open short/long positions"?

I have a friend who gets by on painting pictures of dogs, he also starts imbibing alcohol by mid afternoon, which is after an 11 a.m. start. He is not famous, even within the small town where he lives and paints. He also spends longer just being friends with the clients rather than doing a lot of painting, which is invariably more 'painting by numbers' as people have photos they want 'interpreted'.

Really, this can be 'passive income'...!

My favorite thing in Shenzhen is bargaining for electronics at Huaqiangbei, it feels like going to Disneyland. Over millions of square feet, merchants sell stuff from wires, LEDs and transistors to headphones, monitors and hard-drives.

Definitely try learning numbers in Mandarin and work on your poker face before getting your plane ticket.

your second paragraph would be incredibly unfortunate. most of the sane large companies i've worked at or know people who work at have settled on 2-4 languages -one of which is usually the legacy starting language-which they provide tier-1 support through dedicated teams providing "the stack" in various forms. everything else is community owned and caveat emptor. its why startups should be able to use whatever language they use a selling point; a huge company churning through languages du jour sounds like an awful experience.
Internet Censorship Around the World
If you have a small app and don't need to be careful about scaling issues, then 2 hours is pretty accurate I think. It's trickier when you have a large app, because with Parse Server you do need to handle your own databases and production environment. So I think some of the larger apps are either going to need to hire some devops folks, or make an arrangement with higher-service providers like ObjectRocket.

It has been less than a week, though, so we will see.

>Chavez didn't simply subsidize the poor. He also (a) nationalized the oil industry and (b) handed control and management of that industry over to political allies

Yeah, he nationalized the oil industry and redirected that stream of revenues to poverty reduction programs.

The US establishment was vehemently pissed at this audacity which is why they supported the coup to oust a (whisper it) democratically elected president and also wrote lots of angry articles about him, some of which you apparently read...

>handed control and management of that industry over to political allies who mismanaged it badly

The US oil companies who were carting the vast majority of Venezuela's national wealth out of the country prior to nationalization probably did have a more efficient set up, yes.

>Whatever you might think about his overt political objectives, it didn't work

What part of cutting poverty in half - his overt political objective - was such an abject failure?

Agreed, the prudent and frugal way is possible, and more accessible than ever for those looking in the right places. And it is rewarding, very rewarding compared to the other option of irresponsibility, when you're small enough to fail hard. Be sure to look the other way as those in a positions of wealth and information advantage make orders of magnitude more progress than you, lest you get discouraged at the complete lack of fairness of it all or overhear them wondering why you're not as successful or as hard-working or as beautiful or as intelligent as them.

In the professional field, we're expected to be specialists, and if you're not, you lose out (comparatively). In life, we're expected to understand and make informed decisions on a huge range of topics, and if you're not, or if you err, it's your fault. Some people have enough support to be picked up, reflect and become stronger and make better decisions next time, but most don't.

If your family and your teachers and your self didn't prepare you to navigate this extremely complex world of maneuvering, intelligent, powerful agents... then what do you do? You suffer and you try to cope and you fight to find some peace by whatever means necessary, ethics be damned. You keep climbing or you fall.
Not disagreeing with you, but that only matters if you need to sell a CEO on your choice of language. Many of us don't, and every language had to cross that chasm somehow. Once upon a time, there were plenty of CEOs who didn't believe you should use Java for anything that mattered. Ditto for Javascript. Most relevantly, ditto for Go. If size of the existing community and ecosystem were the main criterion for choosing a language, Go would still be in the same bucket as Nim. Somebody has to use a language because of its own inherent strength before the CEOs can be convinced.

You're right that material is the correct term. I was trying to use language appropriate for someone thinking about programming a chess machine.

I perhaps resorted to hyperbole in my original description for the sack of emphasis. You are correct that at higher levels of play, positional considerations matter far more than material considerations. The advantage does not need to be amazing, but adequate. However, as material begins to accumulate the advantage one must have in position in order to justify the loss will increasingly require a position that moves into the realm of "amazing" and "crushing".

You are right that objectively calculating the positional strength of a position is very difficult to do without immense brute forcing, and likely needs more than 5 moves ahead of insight. When I said that I was really referring quite strictly to tactical combinations where the vast majority of tactical mistakes can be caught quickly.
This can be great if it lives up to it's promise.

What’s the Deal with Algorithms
Glad you feel that way.

The bit about replacing original titles to make them less linkbaity has been surprisingly slow to feed into the community consciousness. But not rewriting them to make them more so, at least, should be a no-brainer.
Some overarching takeaways:

- niche sites with Google ads is a fading path, but still can work if you hit a good market or produce evergreen content

- selling niche e-books through Amazon or direct seems to be a decent option, but is a lot of work unless you can produce quickly and have a feel for the topic

- apps are dangerous because discover is nearly impossible. If you want to make apps, make quick little ones because the likelihood is that you will make $0 on any one app

My personal opinion is to make niche B2B tools. There are a million little inconveniences that small businesses deal with. If you find the right niche you can charge way more than a B2C product, deal with way fewer customers and charge extra for "custom" features and things like that. The trick is to find a business problem worth solving. The best way to do this is to find someone working a job and drilling them about their work flow. It's amazing the stuff that can be automated that people still don't recognize.

There is one guy who was blogging about a simple scheduling app that let 1 man operations (like barbers or chiropractors) simply text the app appointment details and it would automate putting them in the calendar. It's a great little business because scheduling is a big pain point for these tiny businesses but no one addresses it in a humane way. A good way to make $ and while also producing useful things for the world.
Yeah, but vendors should realize that users can see-through the facade. Seeing "contact sales" makes me think of the sticker shock, and me being a cynic I often expect the pricing offered to be much higher then it ultimately ends up being.
i think what the op meant was that it didn't make sense because it's owned by facebook. Heroku being owned by Salesforce makes much more sense because that's their business models are aligned. I remember the first time I was about to try out Parse, fortunately that's around when Parse got acquired by Facebook and I decided not to take a risk. It especially didn't make sense for me because I was going to build a social app. It doesn't make sense to build a social app on a platform owned by a social app company.

> Trump and Chavez seem like opposites in terms of their approach to the domestic economy

They are closer that you might think. For instance, they both have used the nationalism as a wild card (Trump when said that would force Apple to use USA based manufactures and Chavez when he "freed" companies from foreign capitals).
