Article referenced by parent only has data for state funds making up 16 percent of the total budget in 2004/2005.
Using that source no conclusions can be made for the following years. Only percentage of tuition (across all students) as a percentage of total budget is presented.

The phenomenon of out-of-state students significantly supplementing budget deficiencies that ordinarily would result in a necessary increase of tuition for in-state students only began around 2009/2010.

Quoting a newer article (~1 year ago) from the same source [1]:

>Out-of-state students currently pay about $23,000 more in tuition than California residents do, according to Stephen Handel, UC associate vice president of undergraduate admissions. After the UC Board of Regents’ approval of an 8 percent nonresident tuition increase in May, however, that number will jump to about $24,700 for the upcoming academic year.

>Revenue from nonresident students “helps to make up for the cutbacks in state support received over the years,” Handel said.

And another article (from early 2016) with a helpful graphic [2]:

>In the fall, nonresident students made up 15.54 percent of all undergraduates in the university and 24.52 percent of UC Berkeley undergraduates. According to an email from UC spokesperson Claire Doan, the university’s enrollment of non-Californians, who pay higher tuition, helps make up for a lack of state funding.

>“The increase in out-of-state enrollment coincided with budget cuts that related to the Great Recession,” said Hans Johnson, a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California. “Those out-of-state students help to provide funding for in-state students.”

And finally the UC system 2015-2016 budget document. See on page 40 the section for non-resident supplemental tuition:

>All general campuses (except Merced) have sought to increase their numbers of
national and international students without replacing funded California residents. UC’s priority continues to be access for
eligible California residents for whom the State has provided funding. Nevertheless, nonresident students help prepare all
students to effectively live and work in an increasingly global marketplace. Moreover, the total charges they pay significantly
exceed the cost of education, providing extra revenue that improves education for all students and enables campuses to
maintain and increase enrollment for California resident students. Systemwide nonresident undergraduate enrollment
represents a little over 13% of the undergraduate population in 2014-15, whereas more than 30% and 40% of
undergraduates are nonresidents at the University of Virginia and the University of Michigan respectively. For 2015-16, the
University is estimating campuses will enroll an additional 2,000 nonresident students

The monster itself is just a strand of RNA.

The definition of living by most biologists wouldn't include a strand of genetic material. Fire replicates in particular environments, as do viruses. But we don't typically classify either as living.

I think the point you're getting at is that the distinction between living and non-living is a bit arbitrary and meaningless. I agree.
What Conor McGregor and SeaWorld Taught Us About Ownership
Sure, but with a fleet of a good fraction of 100 satellites, it's not going to be cheap however you slice it, especially given the launch costs back then. 70-odd satellites in the initial constellation, 15 launches, that's a billion in launch costs and over a third of a billion in satellite manufacturing costs, aside from R&D. Nevertheless, they easily saved... at a minimum $3 billion and as much as maybe $7-10 billion by doing it the way they did. Which was, I'll point out, a very revolutionary practice that has been widely regarded by the industry as being such. If they hadn't done it that way they wouldn't have been able to get off the ground at all, most likely.

Also of note, the launch market has changed for the better considerably since then. Despite having the same constellation size for Iridium Next and slightly larger satellites (by about 15%) they'll be able to get them deployed with only 10 launches at a total cost of $490 million.

Of course, now the market has largely caught up with their vision so they're doing a lot better financially.

Presumably because it can't act? There are two relevant paradigms to consider:

- Diamonds move through the earth (since the earth itself is not static), grow, and split. This means they move and reproduce. Are they alive?

- Prions are proteins that reproduce directly, by bumping into other proteins and forming them into prions. Are they alive?

The general run of thought that I'm familiar with is that bacteria are unambiguously alive, viruses are ambiguously alive, and diamonds are unambiguously not alive. Prions would go somewhere on the scale between viruses and diamonds. I would personally rate the monster below prions in terms of "being alive"; it doesn't surprise me to see it called "pseudo-living".
(this won't be quite true after TS 2.0, but..) TypeScript doesn't support everything ES6 or even everything Babel does, and some of the stuff it does support are not matching the standard, in subtle ways. Then you're missing out on the Babel plugin ecosystem. You can use TS and Babel together for SOME of that (but not all of it, syntax parser and all).

It may still be a slam dunk to you, but it's not as "obvious" an answer as you make it sound.

BigQuery has two unusual technical features that make it uniquely suited to hosting public data like this:

1. It has a separate "storage tier" and "compute tier", so we can all run queries against the same dataset at the same time.

2. The "compute tier" is 100% shared, so I can use BigQuery even if I just want to run a few queries.

I hope we'll see more projects like this. Having public data available in SQL is a great thing. SQL is easy enough that a lot of people can figure it out, but powerful enough to do real work.

Won't work. This is what nearly all the "social" networks tried to tap into. And look what they became...

What we need is a more open society where it's okay to speak with- and call people again. We also need the Internet where humans get to know each other without going to some dedicated "social" or "dating" service. In the past I've been on websites where over the years people made real friends - naturally, without trying. People formed groups, met in real life, maintained long-term contact internationally. Problem is, Web 2.0 destroyed most such websites.

No. Actors are entertaining, because that's their primary skill set. Actors are on average simply better equipped to, say, deliver a speech well, because of long practice. There is less friction in watching them. Taking a guess where you're coming from: Rather than resent that, engineers should work on improving their communication skill, and not discriminate against communication-savvy peers. Healthy respect for other fields and their challenges doesn't diminish ours.

EDIT: Looks like the comment in question was about India being better off under the British. Which probably deserves deletion. Leaving my comment for posterity but nothing to worry about here.

I'm sorry, but I feel like the comment from OP does have a place in this discussion, given the context of the article. I agree it could have been worded in better ways, but an argument that India's bureaucracy is corrupt is not a groundless insult nor completely irrelevant to the article here. I'm not sure how closely you follow Indian politics but I'd refer you to the last national election and the emergence of the Aam Admi Party, both driven in large part by popular frustration at pervasive bureaucratic corruption (eg how telecom spectrum was awarded by the previous administration). In fact, it'd be hard to argue that India's bureaucracy doesn't have a history of bribery to some degree, especially in cases when it comes to regulators and companies.

Again, I think OP could have done a better job phrasing his point, perhaps pointing out how regulation unfavorable to Apple actually might point to less tolerance of corruption at high levels. But I think simply censoring dicscussion of corruption as nationalistic grandstanding is heavy-handed. In other contexts, making comments about political lobbying in the US as corruption would not be considered nationalistic. I don't see why it should be here either.

You didn't process my comment fully.

I was referring to the downward pressure on all wages (and U.S. workers in particular), not those of H1-B holders. This (and my entire comment) was a rebuttal of the GP and should be read in that context. Having workers stay in the country without jobs increases labor supply, which means lower wages for U.S. workers, contrary to the GP's counter-intuitive assertion. It's simple supply and demand.

But, in general, what you're describing is not the intent of the H1-B program. The purpose of that program is to allow companies to "import" supplemental labor in certain specialty fields when there is no local talent available.

It is specifically a non-immigrant visa. However, people have subsequently come to view it as an immigration path and, hence the "binding" to a sponsor as unfair. But, if you go back to the original intent, the worker has agreed to enter the country at the pleasure of their sponsor.

Now, if you want to do away with the H1-B concept, allow companies to hire anyone from anywhere, and allow those workers to switch employers at will, then OK. But, you have to call it something else and assess the impact accordingly. That takes us back to increased labor supply and lower wages for all. There are people who don't like that idea.

It's obviously unpopular to say this, but that makes it no less true. And, if you really want to address the abuses or find a more equitable situation for visa holders, then you have to start by acknowledging the current reality.

This seem like nonsense. I'm I wrong in thinking that when Google still used PageRank that it wasn't based on ML?

Agree that the Wikipedia page doesn't do it justice. Richard Dawkins does an excellent job discussing the "monster" and providing context regarding theories on the origin of life in his book, The Ancestor's Tale.

I seem to have ticked some people off with that statement, but it's factual. The idea of "India" as a nation just didn't exist. To say that the "income" (whatever that means) of India changed under colonization is incoherent without context.

That's not the same as saying that the people in what is now India didn't exist or share many of the same traditions and cultures, but it was not a cohesive unit, let alone a nation with a national identity.

Note that this is limited to Apple's direct sales business model (aka selling phones through its own stores). Apple are free to sell through other retailers like LG, Xiaomi, and several other retailers do. But they like to have total and absolute control over all aspects of their products. Unfortunately, in this case, they have come across someone else who likes to exercise pretty strong control over aspects of the economy itself.

I think the best thing for Apple to do would be to sell their products through a partnership with Reliance or another company that has a lot of stores in India. It's not like they don't partner with carriers and such in the US.

Iridium Next has a lot more revenue potential for them as well, with all sorts of new products that can be developed with embedded Iridium modems (same general way they sell the 9602 transceiver to manufacturing partners now).

The fact that you can do TCP/IP data over the first generation Iridium network is actually kind of a minor miracle, the data rates are so low. Voice calls have to fit in 2400 bps with a special codec. Data sessions used a lossless compression system not very dissimilar from v42bis to squeeze up to 9600 baud out of a 2400 bps connection... Well, at least if all you're transferring is a plain text file, if it's content that's already compressed you literally see 0.2KB/second.

They're going after the revenue that Inmarsat enjoys from BGAN services, Thuraya's revenue stream from BGAN-like L/S-band services, etc. Maritime and aircraft of course. And military... and military and civilian UAVs... all sorts of stuff. M2M stuff that has to work literally anywhere.

I'm no expert, but Crutchfield claims a 2010-2015+ Camaro can take almost any new infotainment box you'd like from their site. (Both Single or Dual DIN).

They claim you'll also retain all OnStar, audible safety alerts, and climate control functionality with your upgrade, regardless of the upgrade you choose.

Who is the appropriate State Party if, e.g. SpaceX decides to start launching off of Of Course I Still Love You out in the ocean, in international waters?

I'm seeing downvotes, but no valid rebuttals. I suppose the truth is uncomfortable for some.
I don't think it was the first statement that led to the flagging, but the second one.

Anyone who thinks "India was better off under British rule" needs to read about the Bengal Famine that killed 3 million people from Bengal [1] -- a direct result of Churchill's basic idea that Indian lives were worth less than others [2]. This is not to mention the numerous previous atrocities, such as the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre [3], in which a garden was blocked off and troops ordered to fire into a massed crowd until their ammunition was exhausted.

I am usually not one to dust off the history books, but in my opinion, people who perpetrate this "Things were great under the British" meme (including pmarca) need at least some amount of education, and perhaps a little more empathy. Indians were absolutely considered as an inferior, secondary class by the British, and the lack of a few Apple stores is a small price to pay for avoiding that.

Maybe it's a weird criticism because it isn't. How do you read my observation as criticism?
No more so than athletes or musical performers (I wouldn't go so far as to say "musicians" -- thinking of people like Britney and Justin Bieber). Or doctors, for that matter, in the more non-celebrity world. In fact I wonder if doctors are held in the highest esteem of any occupation, due to being perhaps the only one where making a lot of money and being considered morally and ethically upstanding can seem to coincide. Or maybe actors are in that category too, except that the ones who make money are fewer, and the ones who are morally bankrupt are more (though partially because the media profits from amplifying those cases).
Perhaps in the HN community and nerdy computer world that might be true but I would suggest that ordinary people have never heard of Elon Musk.
