I have recently had 2 very negative experiences with Upwork.

In the worst of the two, A freelancer defrauded me and several other clients through the Upwork platform, taking our money hourly while promising work but never delivering anything and then stopping all communication. I have had a "customer care" case open for 33 days so far and after dozens of emails they are standing by the freelancer even though his account has been suspended and they acknowledge he did the same thing to other clients.

I emailed the Upwork CEO Stephane Kasriel about this,skasriel@upwork.com, but he did not respond :(
This is very encouraging if true. The difference between a 17 year old applying to "a top-10 institution" and a 17 year old applying to "Tumbleweed State" is almost exclusively what their parents income is (both directly for ability to pay, and indirectly through living in a desirable school district throughout their K-12 education).

I did my undergrad at a "tumbleweed state" school and grad school at a top-10. The difference in the average student at each school was privilege, not ability.

Turns out, best and brightest from Idaho to Ohio and Minnesota to Mississippi are just as smart and just as hardworking as the best and brightest from California and Massachusetts.
Depends on the college and the administration really.

> Google knows where I live, what job I do, where is my office, at what time I go to work in the morning, and almost every page I visit on Wikipedia. It even knows where I parked the car the last time. Is it possible that with all this information it can still mistake me for a potential buyer of that company's product?

Why would you expect them to be able to? Algorithms aren't mind readers. Just because a human could look at all those individual data points and reach that conclusion doesn't mean a computer could.
Well, is it, or is the rising cost a result of us thinking of it as some "investment" in a future career? I think it's a sort of vicious cycle.
> writable sockets

The goal of NGINX here is not to measure whether a socket can consume any data whatsoever. A connection that consumes 1 byte every 15 seconds is still considered stalled, and should be killed. Using the time between sendfile invocations is not the goal, it's a means toward implementing a minimum rate, and they implemented a minimum rate the wrong way. It's an X Y problem and that's not the kernel's fault.

I'm working in Antarctica right now, and some of the things you said reflect some similarities to working here. For some people, it's a lifestyle. Most of those people are single, divorced, never married, etc. For others, it's one or two "tours" (also called deployments) then back to "real life" in a more normal 9-5 type job. Tradeoffs either way, people just have to choose what's best for them.

Pretty much the same here. I ditched my 45-minute commute and rented 1-person office about .5 miles from my house about a year ago. I can choose to have lunch with my wife and I got back 90 minutes of my life every day.

I find that I'm more productive and focused when I'm "at work." I have to overcome so many distractions at home that it feels like "trying to work." Big difference.
Ha! So a lot of us have that strange problem! :) And I hate it too when websites do funky pop-up stuff on text selection. But somehow, I don't see that problem on this website. Which browser are you using?
I've heard the same from a lot of buddies that have upgraded to Android in the last few years. What is it about iMessage that you miss?

For group messaging, are all of your friends still using iMessage instead of cross platform things like Telegram, WhatsApp, Hangouts, Discord, etc? If so, why?

Worst case of course, all of your iMessage contacts can be contacted over plain old SMS (Via Messenger, Hangouts, or any of the hundreds of Android SMS clients).

Now that the era of Apple being "cool" is officially over and we'll see more and more people moving to Android, I think the appeal of the iMessage "hey you can talk to anyone you want as long as they're on an iPhone or a Mac!" walled garden will collapse.
Why would you use a PRNG with unknown cryptographic properties, not designed by a cryptographer, as opposed to one of the NIST's DRBG or a good stream cipher, such as ChaCha?

Weakness: https://eprint.iacr.org/2006/438 — "huge subsets of internal states which induce a strongly non-uniform distribution in the 8192 first bits produced"

Finally, why is deterministic PRNG suggested as a replacement for OpenSSL's random number generator? In general, the advice to write your own userspace PRNG replacement for OpenSSL is not a good advice, because many people are not competent enough to do it.

The GP comment said that Rust is nice because you can write libraries that can be bound to other languages with more runtime. I was highlighting that this property sounds nice in theory, but has a small scope of applicability in practice. A regex library fits the small scope.
>Your statement is since accounting balanced to 0, no money has been created

No. Nowhere have I written "no money". You have written it a few times. I have stated that the money is balanced by a matching debt. You also keep mixing fractional reserve and central bank purchases. These are entirely different things.

And FOMC is also zero sum - the dollars they inject are backed by debts they hold.

>look up Money creation by the commercial banks in the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_creation

Yes, I am quite aware of this, even having been involved in many discussions and papers on exogenous vs endogenous money. If you want to really blow your mind search those terms and read academic papers on them.

What you seem to not understand is that the money is offset by matching debt. Your link states this in the first paragraph: "A central bank may introduce new money into the economy (termed "expansionary monetary policy", or "money printing" by detractors) by purchasing financial assets or lending money to financial institutions"

The Fed traditionally purchases debt to put more current into play. As more dollars are in the economy, the Fed carries more debt, the same as any bank when it loans out deposits. The difference is the Fed can purchase as much as it wants, but the sum is still zero.

Look: the fed has a balance sheet. Here are many snapshots of it [1]. It sums to zero. Take the last one from March, 2016 [2]. Look at page 6, Table 1. There is a line titled "Federal Reserve Notes in circulation". It is 1385B. There are other assets and debts. They are summed. The sum is zero.

Next - this has zero to do with fractional reserve, since you could have either without the other. We (and most of the world) had fractional reserve before we had a central bank.

So yes, there is more money. There is also matching debt. This is what I have stated since the beginning. You don't seem willing to note that the debt matches the money in every case, whether it's Joe loaning Bob, it's a bank and fractional reserve, or it's a central bank purchasing assets. The central bank has unlimited reserves, is the issuer of currency, and can take on unlimited debt.

If it helps you think clearly, assume the central bank has 20 quadrillion dollars. They decide to add X dollars to the economy, so they buy X in assets. Now they have 20Q - X in cash, X in assets, we have -X in assets, X in cash.

Where the economy increases is when the people buy goods (say Treasuries), and their value in dollars goes up through market pricing, then they get sold to the Fed. The Fed didn't add the value, market pricing did. The Fed simply traded some of it's (unlimited) reserves for assets.

This is also why the Fed traditionally purchases at open market prices - it helps them match inflation since the market, not the Fed, decides prices.

So - are you still claiming all these stages are not zero sum? If so, please detail which step is not zero sum.

I think what is troubling, if anything, to the 'old people' (and probably not just those), is that when arguments such as this starts getting validity beyond being appeals to civility - i.e. when someone is effectively able to stop discussion of a subject because they claim to be 'harmed' by it - it completely changes the context of the discussion and IMO, hinders constructive discourse. So, if safe spaces are to be a 'thing', then we have to be very clear that they must have a very well-defined limit, beyond which regular discourse can continue.
I find that point of view to be a conceit. It's an emulation of the noble classes of yore, who learned things they didn't need to know as a way of signaling that they could afford to do so because they didn't need to work. Most people are no better off 10-years down the line for having learned about what native Americans used to live in Virginia or what covalent bonds are.

One can turn off e.g. EC2 instances when one isn't using them, and even the nano/micro instances are perfectly capable for most dev tasks, so "accounting" for this cost might be a waste of time.
Language seems like a complicating factor here. It's difficult (especially in non-Latinate cases) to learn self-directed, and people who are fluent and willing to work in the field can actually do quite well traveling and translating for businesses and government agencies.

Of course, all of these numbers are complicated by "salary of graduates" versus "salary of graduates employed in field".
Interesting read. Though Socratic method much? The writer uses leading questions[1] as a primary expository method, directing the kid towards conclusions that "should" be made within the proposed system, rather than merely exposing a small set of rules and letting the child freely explore their consequences. All the talk about the different infinities felt that way.

This leading style may be good for teaching the history of mathematics, i.e. introducing concepts that have been relevant to solve problems in the past. But for teaching math skills I prefer methods where a problem is stated, and the student is left to build their own abstractions about it; the IOUs and thermometer examples were more in this line. This competence will prove more useful when solving new problems than merely following the trodden path of already invented mathematics.

existing, deployable tech to integrate a high-penetration of non-dispatchable renewables.

For example - utility scale storage (pumped hydro); distributed storage (home batteries and Vehicle-to-grid battery Ev cars); demand-side management; power-to-gas (hydrogen); and geographic grid integration.

> We all need safe spaces and many of us have them. My living room is a fine example [...]

That's not quite the same thing; your living room is your private space, in property that you either own or rent. I don't think that's under any debate; you don't need the notion of "safe space" to control who can enter and what can be said inside. The discussion is more centered around safe spaces in public property—or at the very least, publicly available property. So on school campuses, for instance; clearly the school owns the land, but (a) they're not necessarily the ones setting up the safe spaces, like you are with your own living room, and (b) while nobody needs to be in your living room other than you and your family, students have legitimate business being and operating on campus. And of course, there are all sorts of variations—is it okay in student common areas? Is it okay in classrooms? Is it okay in club rooms? Is it okay if the university sets aside a room for that purpose? Etc, etc.

Given the thousands of majors, there are certainly exceptions on both sides. But I'm still comfortable with that assessment in general; "learning an entire language" is also one of the exceptions.

I'd also point out that if for the sake of argument that was your primary goal at college, college is a very cost-ineffective choice. There's plenty of non-college ways of doing that, for way less money, since it's something that business people have to do routinely. Even if it means taking languages courses from the local community college on the side... I'm not aware of much evidence that major colleges teach the courses all that much better or indeed even differently for languages.

I could take out a $150,000 loan to buy a splendid piece of art. It might uplift me spiritually and enlighten me in untold ways. But if the loan payments leave me unable to pay for rent or food, it's kind of moot.

As long as college is financed with debt, there needs to be a return that will outpace the debt interest or we end up with a generation of debtors who have no freedom to make use of the enlightenment they gained from their liberal arts degrees because they're forced to scramble and kowtow to the people who majored in business if they want to eat.
Because this compares present day cost to all earners (not sure how they normalized for graduate degrees, etc.), there is a huge recency bias. I majored in humanities and minored in sciences/math about ten years ago. Even counting my piddly graduate stipend (again, in humanities) for several years, my return rate of return is over 20% (IRR). If my school had cost twice as much, as it does just ten years later, the rate of return would have been less than 10% as predicted.
We did, in a way. One of the sources used was random.org (uses radio receivers tuned to static from atmospheric noise: hardware RNG as a service). I also had less than 3 weeks to take it from proposal to production.

Combining two independent sources obtained by different people and using a cryptographic commitment scheme ensured that 1) no one person could fix the results or make it nonrandom (protection against Eddie Tipton-style attacks), 2) if at least one of the independent sources was random, the result would be.

To me there's a fascinating story there. Sculley was working for the today and Jobs for the tomorrow. Doing either by itself is disastrous: living for today means the company doesn't innovate and once its market momentum slows down it'll die (RIM, Nokia?), and thinking too far ahead mean they cannot polish their products and get the most they can of the current market either.

Apple without the return of Jobs wouldn't exist - it wouldn't have innovated in anything. But without Sculley to give it some solid ground for a few years, it would probably have gone bankrupt.

Next few years will be interesting.

Aside from the "it's expensive!" claim, I would argue that the vocational school view is increasingly driven by how large colleges behave. As access to professors declines in favor of TA/lecturer taught classes, and as the amount of red tape rises, the whole "pursuit of knowledge" claim grows slowly thinner.

It's not gone, obviously, and some places are better than others, but it seems to be getting scarcer. If your degree no longer offers a shot at the sublime beauty of understanding, I suppose it's time to start counting dollars.

Money is not the only thing that matters in work. Often, depending on the field/mission/etc, the work is its own reward. I'm currently in Antarctica and took about a 30% pay cut to come here, leaving a very stable job with a large financial services company. But the chance to live, work and play here is by far more important to me than some extra money.
Makes sense. Maybe it's a question of severity. In WW1 British doctors thought it was a physical neurological condition caused by the concussion of artillery shells. They noticed that soldiers had trembling “rather like a jelly shaking”; headache; tinnitus, or ringing in the ear; dizziness; poor concentration; confusion; loss of memory; and disorders of sleep.

While there are many things that can cause a person to suffer from this (life and limb type scenarios) I'm questioning the validity of wide spread self diagnosed "PTSD".

This is one big reason I'm for unconditional basic income.
