The data actually support the exact opposite conclusion from the headline: if the IRR of a degree is constant, then the payoff is proportional to the cost (i.e. the amount you invest). More selective schools tend to be more expensive. So pay N times more for tuition, expect to earn N times more in the long run.

> One can make an argument for protecting people from harming themselves.

I don't have an opinion on legalization, but I don't think that's quite the argument against (even if some people express it in this way). Not all people are free to make choices in the same way, and drugs -- similarly to fast food -- hurt some communities more than others. Drugs have a social dynamics, they're not like choosing which toothpaste to use. Of course, prohibition may make matters worse instead of better, but as you say, that requires empirical study (I don't know the findings, which is why I don't have an opinion, except that the enforcement situation now is far from good).
No, it's still anecdotal evidence unless you actually have a meaningful statistic gathered through scientific inquiry. If you have just heard several people complain about failures, that's anecdotal evidence. After all, that is precisely the definition of "anecdotal evidence."
Yes, you're right. I strongly feel that it's very important to have more empathy for people regardless of their background. Demonizing people who are different from you with an accusation without merit doesn't help anyone.

GPLv3's patent clause is effectively identical to Apache License, Version 2.0? I wasn't aware of that. I haven't done much research on the patent angle, I only brought it up because I actually talked to one of Apple's lawyers at one point about GPLv3 and they brought up the patent stuff as an issue.
The Deadly Cargo Inside MH370: Exploding Batteries Explain the Mystery (2015)
Because it's really disingenuous to say that the medical device industry hasn't learned anything from Therac 25. The concept of two-fault failures is an industry standard that was learned from Therac.

The fact is that in the Medical software industry the best practice is to manage the entire software configuration of the medical device. Failing to do so, and especially failing to adhere to the guidelines of the manufacturer, is negligent at best. We all know that the behavior that led to the hazard is the wrong thing to do and that somebody screwed up.

The only other real insight that can be gained from this incident is that it's very important to have configuration management procedures that are easy to follow, and it's important to verify that they were correctly followed. I can't tell whether they were in this case, but I suspect given the use of Off-the-shelf software that there was some manual sequence of steps required to adhere to the approved configuration. Given that, I would have expected an error of this magnitude, because it's well known that humans make mistakes whenever they are made to follow a sequence of steps. The configuration should have been verified at installation time, at least.

If you're interested in the kinds of things the industry has to consider in the US, take a look at the FDA guidance for the 510k submittal process.
Three ideas about text messages
There is no doubt IBM is making big Swift announcements but IBM is also making huge contribution to Go. They are porting it to PowerPC / s390 architectures. They are also contributing Go based blockchain implementation (~50k LOC) to hyperledger project.

IBM/SAP swift support looks like riding along with marketing of Apple/OSX/ios. These tech consulting giants will definitely make a top-down push for swift but grabbing developer mindshare might not be so easy. At least IBM swift on server support looks Websphere like play. At one point it was a big business or may be still is but given alternative huge number of developers will prefer alternative.

Unlike Java/Swift which are often introduced or talked by executives at Oracle/Apple, Go is not a corporate mandated language and Google execs do not talk about it like android. Google I/O does not have any Go specific talks. The biggest Go conf is organized by 3rd party.

Go influence need not be over or under emphasized. Hugely influential cloud based projects such as Docker/rkt/etcd/kubernetes/juju and many more are written in Go.
I agree. I kept discussing it because people replied. Otherwise, I'd have been done after first round of comments.
Tesla reliability not unlike other performance vehicles that are version 3, 4 or 20. That tesla has achieved what it has on v1 is amazing.

It's more like the requirements cronies put into defense contracts to make sure the contractors make a lot of money.

The reason "security requirements" documents require antivirus is that companies like Symantec make sure they're in the right position to be the ones asked when someone is writing up a security requirements document, so that their answer can be "make sure you install antivirus (and here's the contact info for our volume licensing center)."
The title was changed here.

And in answer to "why not", because having a 70 character reference to 140 immutable characters of python is pretty useless. Also security.
Divide and conquer. As much as we would like it to not be the case, complexity is inherent in medium/large scale systems. Microservices are one way to split and isolate a system in more easily manageable chunks thus potentially lowering the risk that comes with complexity. It does have its pitfalls, though.

I said opioids are a good option for short term pain. They are also usually (not always) a bad option for long term pain.

Please go to a treatment facility (volunteer please) and talk to the patients there. It is beyond eye opening, I volunteered at one myself. I've seen pain medicine literary ruin lives, and it's so sad. These are people who have been through hell with their injuries, some of the worst I've ever seen, and then they go through hell again with the opiodes.

They can work on a long term basis for SOME (but not the majority) of patients.

Psychological treatments are also an important part of pain management.

As far as I can gather, that module doesn't support traditional (non-lisp) syntax, along the lines of traditional logo graphics? Which could be why the tutorial section[1] prefers the (apparently more well documented) "#lang slideshow", which gives some of the same benefits (a simple syntax for graphics) with some of the same [ed: drawbacks] (an IMNHO slightly higher bar for entry, due to being Scheme, rather than an even easier language).

Based on the previous gens (since 400 series) you can expect about 20-25 % gain from one generation to the next. Traditionally the release have been: April to June: paper release (reads very limited supply of the top of the range). July to October: x70/x60 range (which are the main gaming GPU). November-December: rest of the range released with ample supply for the end of the year festive season. January to March: annoncement of the next generation. Rinse and repeat.
Title error because of old science. The asteroid killed off lots of things, but dinos were already on the way out. Maybe next year things will swing back, but atm the rock wasn't to blame.

> how middle-class Americans ensure the lower class ones stay down there

I'm seeing this attitude a lot and it befuddles me. I've heard a lot of wild theories on _why_ poor people stay poor, but never rooting for them to stay poor.

That's a lot different than trying to help your own kids get ahead.
This is some pretty blatant elitism. A domination loop is utterly apparent in your comment. As is typical, it uses it's consequences to justify it's continuation. Success is a fundamentally relative designation. It basically means winning. Which implies the exclusivity of success. Only some people get to have it.

> Kids with the potential to succeed come from parents with the potential to succeed.

There's another designation. One you have a genetic incentive to profess. Shame on you. Honestly. We should improve education by... improving education. As in the process by which we educate any arbitrary person. This "who deserves it" business is a distraction that perpetuates itself.

Tesla's two top manufacturing execs quit just before Musk announced that he wanted volume production of the Model 3 in 2018 instead of 2020. You can imagine the discussions that went on. Perhaps in time details will surface.

Tesla now faces transitioning from a low-volume high-margin manufacturer to a high-volume low-margin manufacturer. That's hard. HP, IBM, and Xerox tried that, and didn't do too well; all eventually exited the low end and downsized. Even Intel is exiting the low end; they're giving up on the tablet and phone market, as a YC article pointed out a few days ago.

Tesla is trying for good, fast, and cheap at the same time. Tesla's track record is that they can do "good", but late and at a high price. (Space-X has "good" and "cheap", but is about two years behind announced schedules. Their competition is even slower, so that's OK.)

Tesla looks like they're doing a good job of manufacturing, but their Fremont plant has 3,000 employees for 50,000 cars a year. That's 125 labor hours per car. They can't make a $35K price point with that. The big manufacturers are in the 15-30 hour range.[1] That's the big problem. Tesla needs to learn how to reach Toyota levels of production efficiency, and they have a long way to go.

Making 500,000 cars a year isn't in itself an obstacle. The Mercedes A-class production line cycles every 40 seconds. That's 720 cars per shift. If that line ran 2 8-hour shifts (you need a shift for maintenance) and 7 days a week, it could build over 500,000 cars in a year. That's just one production line.

It's getting that production line built, working, thoroughly debugged, and running at a low labor cost that takes some time. Tesla is going to need people who've done that before.

I just moved to the bay area from a large urban center. I live in the far away surburbs right now (Sunnyvale). It's kind of incredible to me how flat and sprawled out everything is. There are almost no buildings taller than 2-3 floors.

The bay area has a housing crisis, and it needs to grow vertically. There should be tall apartment buildings being built, especially in the suburbs, there's plenty of space. It's pretty clear that the bay area refuses to grow, because of political reasons, which are often selfish as you pointed out.

IMO, the inevitable outcome is that tech will slowly relocate to other areas that are more willing to accomodate (and perhaps welcome) the growth. I think it's already started.
That's the entirely expected part. I don't know exactly which "we" you're referring to, but the tech scene in general absolutely did not warn people about the dangers of uploading these photos, on the contrary, they encouraged it.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect "everyday" people to know the dangers here. There hasn't been any education, so you can't say "nobody cares". Nobody is aware.

In the early days of Tesla Model S, they strived to get people back on the road quickly, and they replaced entire subsystems when they didn't really need to. If you search the news group "tesla motors club", you'll find discussion of how telsa found a number of tiny tweaks that they could use to adjust some of these minor issues. They were not drive train failures really. I have driven about 40k miles, no drive train failures (anecodotal, blah blah).
Maybe we are the primitive ones.

I was with you up until the very end. Pay N times more for tuition, expect to earn N times more _on_your_degree_investment_ in the long run.

That doesn't mean your entire income will be N times higher.

For example if you spent $100k on your tuition in year 0, and the rate of return from that degree is 10% per year, and assuming you spend the returns rather than reinvest them, then your degree is adding $10k/year to your income.

But you're not living on $10k/year, you're earning $80k/year, $10k of which is attributable to your degree.

So to complete the exericse, if you had spent 2x on your education, you would be making $90k/year. Not $160k.
Like I said earlier, it's really not a serious thing: merely a joke.
Tesla's are generally reliably. I bought an original one in 2012, then I upgraded to AWD when that came out. Never had a problem other than "slight amount of moisture in my tail light" which they fixed. There have been a number of reporters who appear to have an anti-tesla bias, notable the NY Times report Broder. His name has become an adjective ("That guy brodered you"). They are physical objects, they can fail of course, but generally they are very reliable, and in my experience owning them over 4 years, have been without issue.
I don't use Pocket or know much about it.

I have an Evernote account, which I use as a replacement for the OS X Notes app. Evernote is not especially convenient as a bookmark manager.

Pinboard is extremely inexpensive and very good at doing the one thing that it is good at and then just getting out of the way. It's fast, and it's always just hanging around as a browser bookmarklet.

If you're used to things like Evernote with a lot of fit and finish polish, you're going to be a little shocked by Pinboard. If you stick with it a couple days, though, you're probably going to end up appreciating Pinboard's design.
There is no such thing as a "good school district." In D.C. there is a neighborhood called Capitol Hill. The local elementary school is Brent. 5-10 years ago, rich people would never have sent their kids to that school. It was 80% low-income, and the test scores were terrible. The area has dramatically gentrified over the last several years, and now it's one of the best schools in the city (and less than 15% low-income). Nothing changed about the school or the teachers--what changed is how much money the students parents' have.

The problem in the U.S. isn't that we have "good schools" and "bad schools." It's that we have extreme segregation along racial and economic lines. Our policies create pockets of schools that are 90% low-income (and usually a similar percentage black or hispanic). It's a symptom of a society with extreme segregation and wealth inequality, not a cause.
I think technologists need to help the public understand how if they are going to continue to fully integrate technology in assisting with their lives, they will be moving closer to a "privacy free" future.

The trade-off between having tailored services and "smart" systems is privacy from machine systems.

That's bizarre.

One thing I've noticed is that performing the string scanning operation is relatively cheap. (If the splitAndTrim code is modified to not use Strings and to return a [String.UTF16View], the runtime is around 1.2 seconds.) It's the process of building Strings out of those UTF16 views that is destroying performance.

I still don't know why changing the way the input data are constructed would have that effect, except to guess that the underlying representation is different somehow. I'll file a ticket.
What you've written is an extremely long-winded and incredibly misguided and wrong post, I don't even know how to address all of the problems here, so here's a quick summary:

• Xcode is a self-contained app bundle, it does not install components across the system, which would be required for your scheme. This is intentional for several reasons.

• Having 2 copies of Xcode installed at once is explicitly supported. This requires that Xcode not be installing components across the system or it they would interfere with each other.

• Your description of xcode-select is overly-convoluted. In practice it's really very simple. xcode-select sets the default Xcode installation used for xcrun and the shims. You can override this selection on a per-invocation basis by setting the DEVELOPER_DIR env variable instead. If you don't have the env variable set, xcode-select is roughly equivalent to replacing all of the shims with symlinks that point into the selected directory. And you haven't explained why any of this is supposed to increase the "attack surface".

• You keep claiming that this defeats the purpose of SIP, which makes no sense at all. I can't even figure your logic for claiming it defeats SIP, which makes me wonder if maybe you're just trying to spread FUD.

• I absolutely do know how Linux distros suggest packages, please don't try to tell me that I don't.

• Using bash v4 is not more sensible than installing a shim, because, as I've explained at great length, is required for reasons other than just suggesting the installation of Command Line Tools. You keep ignoring all of the reasons why this is required for current functionality and are focusing on the single aspect, of suggesting the installation of Command Line Tools, that could conceivably be done a different way.

• Besides, saying "use bash v4" is not a solution anyway, because many people do in fact switch their default shell, at which point they'd lose the instructions on how to install the command-line tools.

I'd really rather you don't give me another long-winded reply that boils down to you saying "I don't understand the point of SIP or how it works, or how Xcode's self-contained app installation works".

It's best to just stay off of Facebook if you care at all about privacy. At least, that's the underlying message that I get from this, and every other story I read about the site.
> Allowing the user to lock out that second key doesn't fix anything because 99.99% of users will never do that, or even know it exists.

That's easily solved: On initial device setup, the user could be asked to explicitly disable the key by asking something like "Would you like to secure your device by permanently disallowing the installation of untrusted software? Y/N"

Also, as someone else clarified below, the alternate key I was proposing is unique to the device. So any attack against you would have to be tailored to your device. That leaves the main threats as: 1) an NSA-like shipment-interception and 2) someone getting access to your user key after the device is in your possession. 1) can be mitigated by buying your device in a random retail shop, and 2) can be prevented by immediately permanently clearing the user the key.
