Most universities will let you do an internship or something instead of a class. And, this university was accredited by a reputable organization, so they held this out as something that a great number of reputable people and organizations had supposedly said was OK. And these were foreigners in particular, so they might not have the same warning signals that US natives might have.

At the end of the day the US higher-ed system is largely pay-to-win anyway. If you just want to check the boxes so you can make it through the HR filters and move onto a decent-paying job, most schools will happily oblige. All they care about is if the check clears, there's plenty of students who surf the internet through their gen-eds and easily pass. College is what you make of it, and it's simply not that weird to see an accredited university offering a super-easy course load.

If the difference you're seeing here is that they don't hold a lecture for the kids to skip, who cares? Sounds like cost optimization to me - eliminate the tutoring and you can get your name on a piece of piece of paper and check that box even more cheaply.

I think Qbasic was so fun because it was easy do do graphics. Doing graphics in any other language is just insanely hard as you have to understand university grade math.

I understand that old languages like C++ or Java have problems providing a single package manager. It seems that newer languages have roughly equivalent services.

You also have to factor in (at least for trips) the real total time it takes to fill up. Typically you turn off the interstate and drive a mile or so into town, find the gas station, pull in, fill up (where you have to be at the pump while filling), then you may make a pit stop / grab a snack, and generally stretch you legs (assuming you've been driving for 400 miles = 7 hours). Whereas the Tesla quick charge stations, I believe you can leave your car unattended while it is charging.
Your little typo is almost Freudian. Yes it's optimal for getting people to exit. But you're right, not so much for getting them excited.
CPI from 2003 to 2016 would bring that $8 up to $10.35, FWIW. And then, as you mentioned, road quality may come in to play. As would labor costs and other factors.
My interest in this comes from wanting to build Objective-C based OSX-UIs using scripting languages that are only embeddable in C, like Lua. When (if?) that day comes, I'll be like a kid in a candy store all over again.
That hokey pokey you refer to does cost money. So yes, you can use a system that has costs associated with it, then attempt to ensure those costs can't be recouped. But if that's successful the system will collapse. I assume you'd think that would be good in this case. But I find it funny reasoning to say you should opt-in to publisher-facilitated peer review while trying to tear it down. Wouldn't avoiding publishers altogether be the more ideologically consistent method?
You don't need to buy certificates. There are at least four CAs offering free certificates, with at least two (Let's Encrypt and StartSSL) offering API-based issuance. Getting a publicly-trusted certificate from Let's Encrypt is roughly the same amount of work as finding out how to get the OpenSSL CLI to issue a self-signed certificate, or using CloudFlare's tool to get one from their CA.
You can't always get what you want.
This argument rests on the assumption that taxes are spent wisely and fairly.
The effort to create something has always factored into the price.

Absolutely not and there are plenty of examples. If I buy land and find oil underneath, it's zero effort for me to rake in the dollars. If I come up with a super complex device that takes me 1 year to build, the price is zero if no one wants it.

Price is driven by supply and demand.
Is entrapment even a valid defense in immigration court? Defendants in immigration court don't have the same rights as criminal defendants (e.g. they don't have the right to a lawyer).
I disagree. I think this is evidence to the contrary:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunction_fallacy

https://www.dartmouth.edu/~nyhan/nyhan-reifler.pdf
By setting up conditions that will never be met, you're insisting that taxes never be raised. Which is fine, but just honestly advocate for that. Also, that pdf is singularly stupid. Look at the first page: they found waste of $77k in the DoD! In a budget approaching one TRILLION dollars. There's always going to be a couple percent of waste; that's life in any big organization, public or private. Even if their 50% waste is accurate -- hell, even if it's 100% waste -- they're discussing $15B in a $3T federal budget -- half a percent.
Angular 1 is now up to 1.5.x and still has on going development. I think people have been scared away from learning Angular 1 because of the Angular 2 announcement. I'm trying to remember the details, but I believe support for Angular 1 will continue for a couple more years.
Cascadia subduction zone events don't seem to trigger large earthquakes in the faults above the subduction zone:

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2013JB010635/epdf

And the 1857 and 1906 M7+ events on the San Andreas did not cause earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest.

However, dynamic triggering of earthquakes does happen:

http://lanl.gov/orgs/ees/ees11/geophysics/nonlinear/2005/Nat...

Note that this type of triggering (by passing seismic waves) is, in the absolute sense, really unlikely to specifically nucleate a M7+ earthquake; otherwise there would be chains of huge earthquakes every time there's a big earthquake in Tonga (which is all the time). However, the relative likelihood is increased substantially.

There is a lot of research on earthquake triggering (both 'static' and 'dynamic') much of which is publicly available on Google Scholar (or sci-hub...). Static (or 'Coulomb') triggering is the most physically comprehensible; dynamic triggering, where passing seismic waves cause new quakes, is statistically supported but hard to understand mechanistically. The basics of static triggering are that, if you think of the earth's upper crust as a compressed elastic (e.g. rubber, but far more rigid) sheet, when a tear in it happens (an earthquake) it changes the distribution of stress/forces in the elastic sheet. Some regions will be stressed more, particularly around the edges of the tear, and some will be stressed less. The areas that are stressed more by the new tear tend to have more earthquakes following the first one. This is largely a local (i.e. 10s of km) phenomenon.

The big paper on this is here: http://www.ipgp.fr/~king/Geoffrey_King/Publications_files/Ki...
Had and have exactly the same problem!

Several years ago that was the reason I made jetwick:

https://github.com/karussell/Jetwick

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U2uxeaVIXk

which sadly does not work anymore as I gave up on the several API changes.

The beauty was that I could search (and memorize) any hashtag I liked and then sorted this by retweets AND if I was away for holidays I came back and see only these newer tweets and have those sorted again by retweets.

Also sorting your timeline by retweets is really powerful.

This way you do not waste time to discover things and you do not need to trust an algorithm to find something interesting (although I loved getprismatic.com and like http://tweetedtimes.com/) but I can actively search for stuff

I also tried to combined hackernews in the mix to find more stuff outside of my follower set and e.g. find people to follow but also have the possibility to sort hackernews by XY AND filter by my topic which I still really miss here too :)

There was also a nice feature to find the first tweet of a certain link/tweet to learn which people really post 'hot stuff' and which just copy things.

Buffett Unwise to Ignore Coke’s Obesity Link
I don't know if there's a uniform Mozilla position on this, but here's mine! :) The main reason I care about the Web is because it's the world's biggest software platform that isn't owned. If someone can deliver their app to the world without submitting it for review by an app store and without paying a company a %-age of the revenue, and if they can market it through the viral power of URLs, then they have a lot more control over their own destiny. That's why I think it's important for the Web not to give up on hard but solvable problems.

But also I think there's a false dichotomy between "the Web should just be for documents" and "the Web should just be for apps." The Web is simultaneously an application platform that blows all other platforms out of the water for delivering content. First, there's a reason why so many native apps embed WebViews -- despite its warts, CSS is the result of hundreds of person-years of tuning for deploying portable textual content.

But more importantly, you just can't beat the URL. How many more times will we convince the entirety of humanity to know how to visually parse "www.zombo.com" on a billboard or in a text message? It's easy to take the Web for granted, it's fun to snark about its warts, and there's a cottage industry of premature declarations of its death. But I personally believe that the humble little hyperlink is at the heart of the Web's power, competitive strength, and longevity. It was a century-old dream passed on from Vannevar Bush to Doug Englebart to Xerox PARC and ultimately to TBL who made it real.

Most of them want nothing to do with actually understanding how their government works or how their money is spent, because they've been conditioned from a young age to believe that the government can't do anything right and anyone who works or receives benefits from the government is lazy and entitled. Some will even do the song and dance of telling everyone who will listen how private industry could do so much better, even though the average business in this country ends up being insolvent within a few years of beginning.

Their taxes will never be low enough because the service they receive will never meet their completely unrealistic standards.
"No smoking" is a gerundive phrase which serves as the sentence's subject, with the copulative verb "is" implied: "No smoking [is] allowed".

Considered differently, the sentence is not in the imperative mood with an implied subject. The sentence is in the declarative mood with an implied verb.

The possible misunderstanding is that this declarative sentence merely identifies one action (of many) which is allowed, "no smoking", which does not necessarily prohibit other activities including "smoking", "singing", "no singing", "dancing", etc.

Support for more advanced features like WebGL, DRM, codecs, etc vary by browser and platform. Even the protocols underlying the web - HTTP and TLS - have varying levels of support that affect app developers and portability. Not to mention sharing a link between mobile devices and desktops doesn't always work very well.

Don't get me wrong: I appreciate the portability of the web. I just worry the focus on making it more native-like will introduce more of what makes the native ecosystem so frustrating.
> The article begs not the question "Does Trump have charisma", but rather, "Does Trump have more charisma than Clinton"?

I think the question, the framing, is loaded. « Who has the kind of charisma that seduce/attract most people ? » would be a better question in my opinion.
It depends on how you define "big". Cargo is closest to Bundler + rubygems, but with some aspects of npm.
I assume they're okay with the software on the copyright office's servers being proprietary and closed-source, as well as the software in the word processors and email servers and clients they'll use to banter the topic back and forth internally, right?

It's just the fact that they can't HTTP POST their message to a server using open protocols that sticks in their craw?

I'm curious where they draw the line at coming to terms with the mechanical necessities of interacting with the government to represent their constituency's interests.
I think you should realize that pinboard's very nature and existence is a wonderful hack of the SV and "web 2.0" mindset and ecosystem.
It's mentioned in the article that this is about local, city-maintained streets. Unless you live directly on a state or federal highway, those gas taxes, state sales taxes, and income taxes do not go towards the street you live one.

Local sales taxes may, and the author includes these in the diagram of the city budget. Your largest contribution to the maintenance of city infrastructure is in property taxes, either directly or through rent. It's also worth noting that the article only accounts for road surface maintenance. Adding in sewage and water expenses would likely not be favorable.
Researchers regularly make use of work from other countries, the scientific community is international. Even if one could make an argument for not allowing Canadians to access US research without payment, it doesn't follow that Elsevier and friends are the ones who should be paid.

Research done by government employees is legally required to be public domain. I see no reason we shouldn't extend that to researchers who take government funding.
A hash verifies an input, but you can not reproduce the input from a hash.

A simplified version: X % 2 = H

If I give you the formula, and a H of 1, can you, with certainty, tell me that my input was 1029? Cryptographic hashes have a similar property, just with a very large collision space - for Tor only 1 in 36^16 inputs will produce a given hash; yet you still can't guarantee that an input that produces that hash is the original input (and just guessing the possible inputs will take you a very long time).

The downside of our hash above is that it gives you a pretty good clue of what the original input was: if you get an H of 1029 from the forumla X % 10000000 = H, you'll have a pretty good idea of what the X was. Cryptographic hashes do not share this weakness - they will stretch the input, and ensure that there are no clues left as to what the original input was.
This makes me wonder what effect absolutely zero radiation would have on an individual. And on a population (e.g. would evolution be harmed by having no radiation at all?)
From my last and admittedly cursory look it wasn't that simple. IIRC JSON wasn't even used, I think it was a binary protocol.
What do you mean by "for streets"? What about the rest of the taxes, not tied to any specific public service?
I had a background check once. They asked for my dates of attendance at my alma mater, which I provided. Then they called for clarification, because the dates they got from the university didn't match - I took 4 years to do a 4 year degree, graduating in 2009, but somehow the information they got suggested that I started in August 2007 and "left" in October 2008 - although they did agree that I had a degree.

I tried to explain to them that the dates they had managed to get from the university were for a job I had on campus, and that I hadn't done a bachelor's in a year. "Yes, sir, but if I can just confirm that you were there August 2007 through October 2008, then this will clear things up." So I did the expedient thing.
I don't understand what's debatable about that. Maybe an example would help?

objc_msgSend(window, sel_registerName("setAlphaValue:"), 1);

Versus:

((void (*)(id, SEL, CGFloat))objc_msgSend)(window, sel_registerName("setAlphaValue:"), 1);

The former will set a garbage alpha value, the latter works. More generally, the former requires much more care and attention to get the types right, whereas the latter just requires that the cast match the method declaration.
Well you can still divide the work among many workers, you just need to incur the cost of copying/splitting the buffer before you start sending them off.

In most cases you know how many workers you want at the start of the program, so that cost of splitting/merging only happens once (and you can do that splitting/merging in a worker to avoid hanging the main thread) and then you can pass those chunks around freely.
I am. But I as I do contracting and choose interesting projects I tend to be a generalist so my outlook is skewed.

If you were just starting out, I'd suggest you work with Xamarin to do your app development in, and Unity3d if you were doing games or 3d work (Though you could use monogame with xamarin if you were so inclined). But then again, my comfort zone is C#.

Android and iOS apps these days tend to look very similar, with the main difference being a soft back button for iOS and none for Android. Windows phone can look very different if you use the Metro design language but quite a few apps that I've used seem to be mostly ignoring it (admittedly niche ones) and looking like the big two.

Whatever developer you hire will be "better" (or at least more comfortable) at one platform than another.

Have you done your market research? Are you targeting a particular market that is likely to have one phone type rather than another? I've noticed that the different platforms tend to attract different types of people. App Annie is a good source on this market data though you'll have to ignore the most-popular apps as you're not going to be the next facebook/ebay etc no matter how hard you try.
> The javascript on government websites (even non-USA) should have those freedoms. Why not?

Among other reasons: because they impose restrictions on the subcontractors the government can employ to do the job that increase the overall cost, therefore perhaps failing to do their fiduciary duty to the taxpayer.

It's still an open question which side this issue should fall on for most people who don't see Four Freedoms as a necessary tenet.

It doesn't have to do any renaming or modifying of names. Rust has a module system, so each dependency will use the version they need.

The only time it doesn't Just Work is if one of those crates re-exports a type from the sub-crate in a public manner, and then you try to call something from the other crate with a value of that type. You'll get a compile-time error about mismatched types.
I think it's obvious that this is an academic exercise (or "just because I can" sort of thing), which makes the GP's comment quite unnecessary.
> without paying a company a %-age of the revenue

It may not be a %-age of revenue, but you definitely can't host a non-trivial webapp for free either.

You could even argue that in many webapps scaling costs are proportional to revenue, which makes it awfully similar to an app store.

> But also I think there's a false dichotomy between "the Web should just be for documents" and "the Web should just be for apps."

Yeah, I don't have a clear idea on where the web should "end", but wow... web pages able to eat all my cores and have data races seems like a line to be crossed with great caution and care.
A Google search for "federal street construction grant" indicates otherwise. There's lots of results discussing such grants.

> Objective-C was a modification of the GCC developed by NeXT.

No.

Objective-C was developed in the early '80s (as a C pre-processor, as the Grandparent post said) by Brad Cox, and commercialized by himself and Tom Love via a company they created together called Stepstone. Cox wrote a book about their product, Object Oriented Programming: An Evolutionary Approach, in 1986. I own a copy. It's pretty good!

Some time later, NeXT decided to build their user-space APIs around Objective-C, and bought the rights to Objective-C from Stepstone outright. It was at that point that they started modifying GCC to directly compile Objective-C rather than pre-process it into C.
> On the other hand, I quite like the single-threadedness of javascript.

Douglas Crockford's strategy of taking a language, identifying a subset of it, calling it "The Good Parts" and sticking to it is a great motivation to welcome new features, let them evolve but keep your distance from them until they're fleshed out. This has pretty much been the M.O. of Javascript and IMO has worked great..
The author never made the case that a property owner is SUPPOSED to pay for the cost of the street, so I'm not even motivated to figure out whether the analysis is correct or not.

The government is not a bank. You're not supposed to "get out what you put in" or "pay for what you use." The government provides things for the public good: roads, education, police, military, etc.

Of course some government is a Ponzi scheme in the sense that some people "pay for more than they use." That's called progressive taxation. So if the evil sprawlsters are subsidizing the older roads...so what? The evil sprawlsters can afford it.

It would be just as ridiculous to write an article about how "people with children in schools aren't paying the cost of the school" or good grief even "people who have a fire aren't paying the cost of the fire department." Roads are provided for the public good.

So it really doesn't matter that the author doesn't even address the fact that many of these supposedly deadbeat property owners are paying a whole bunch of taxes that are keeping the city of Ames afloat, along with its supposedly inaccurate road tax scheme.
