I have always wondered what exactly is going on in society:

People in the US, more so than other countries, have a plausible chance of going to college, even if it takes going in to massive debt.

Then, they will go on to find a mate who is likely also college educated, and in a similar income bracket.

Over time, doesn't this mean that we're breeding (for lack of a better term) a class of people who are a) capable of being educated and b) seek out education? Doesn't this only widen the achievement gap?

Not proposing a solution, but I suspect if we were to take this stuff seriously, we could make serious inroads to addressing inequality.

On the other hand, as a country we rightfully (IMO) believe everyone is equal and work hard to provide opportunity for everyone.

What's the right move here?

the countries that try and force centralized IoT infrastructure like netherlands as a test case for the EU and eventually China will do it and probably Japan, are going to have the biggest problems with the IoT, possibly financially and industrially significant problems.

the 'IoT' dream that was much heralded by oracle and the likes of many has died . the apologists argue that all that is needed is government decree and centralization by force.

sure, a few socialist and centrally forced governments may jump into the ring, and sure a few mega corporations will get rich off government at the expense of the people , and of course some good might even come out of it. but a problem of organizing complexity at this scale is DEFINITELY going to be unsolved by forcing a reductionist solution for the sake of some corporate and government bureacrats to have bragging rights.

this whole human technology project is not going to happen as fast as the startup venture vulture capital world would like. MOST if not 99% of IoT related companies will go bust.

look at nest, google is already shuttering most of its billion dollar 3 year old aquisition. this is just the start...........

that doesn't mean much was not gained, but as they say---------fail often fail early . well, as for the IoT that means we need a few decades of failure, staged decades of staged failures. eventually it will all come together well if governments don't get involved. if they do, you can guarantee the result will be a half baked obamacare style mess that will one day have to be scrapped anyways due to its fatal design flaws.

let's stop/reduce buying new glasses so there'll be no/less recycling.

i wore -4 diopter and i'm six months in 'no glasses' experiment after reading 'getting stronger' blog on eyes homeostatis. Here's what i found:
- i can read books without glasses at all. i used to wear my -4 for anything. no more.
- for laptop, i can use reduced (-2) and texts come sharp. i opt for no glasses and increase the text font size instead.
- for driving <motorbike>, daylight gives sharper vision (it's like wearing a -2, with no glasses). it's a bit blurry for driving, but i don't need eagle-sharp clarity, i just need to avoid collisions.

so instead of donating your old glasses, you can use them to train your eyes, say for example:
no glasses for books, -1 for tvs, -2 for laptop, -3 for driving, etc

i chose cold turkey because i often forget where i put my glasses and it's frustrating.

there is a plus lens therapy which i don't practice much because i keep losing my plus glasses.
Please don't drive without glasses. You're likely violating the law and you are putting others in danger.

Well good luck getting insurance to pay for that "diagnosis". Hard enough when submitting claims for conditions that are in the diagnostic manuals. It's also risky from a regulatory standpoint. I know one doctor who was pursuing "occult" phenomena that a couple of his patients told him about. Someone complained and he was in trouble with his licensing board for a time for his "unprofessional conduct".

However there is a deeper issue implicit in the subject, regardless of its actual scientific merit. It provokes a question about what makes it necessary to try explaining things that have no explanation.

That's a common and universal human trait. With very few exceptions, humans insist on "explaining" things no matter what, ordinarily people won't tolerate indeterminacy. It's a rare person who accepts "I don't know". But of course not knowing is reality, look at anything close enough and it looks fuzzy. Examined at sufficient level of detail, everything is ambiguous.

When patients present with unusual (to the interviewer) ideas, perceptions or feelings, quite likely it will defy classification geared toward frequent, typical events. In that instance the response to "what is going on with me?" should be "I don't know" when one doesn't know. Resorting to "explanatory" mythologies, including psychoanalytic theory, or occultism, only obscures reality. Far better to skip "explaining" given the impossibility of avoiding unavoidable uncertainty.

We can and should say what we observe of phenomena and their related similarities and differences. That set of observations is the valuable basis of what we know and can act on. There are limits to knowledge, particularly that asking "why?" does not terminate. It takes courage to face that the only answer we'll ever get is that there is no answer.

This is definitely not true in Germany. And for glass bottle recycling, most bottles are washed and reused up to 50 times before being melted down.

So an update to anyone who's interested

This issue caused a low end machine that a reviewer built to shut down:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhjC_8ai7QA

Reported to cause damage to older motherboards:
https://community.amd.com/thread/202410

AMD has published a short message saying that they are looking in ways to "fix" this via the driver.
The drivers have a profile for clock and voltages at any given setting so it looks like these cards are going to be "downclocked" or the voltages going to the memory and GPU adjusted down for given clocks in order to prevent the card from peaking above 150W.

This doesn't look good for AMD to be fair they should recall these cards and redesign the boards.
GPU cards tend to stay away from topping the power consumed from the PCIE bus for good reasons they don't want to bet on the stability of motherboards especially with everything and their mother being interconnected via PCIE these days.

NVIDIA cards usually top at ~30W or so, single power connector AMD cards from the previous gen used to top at 50-60W.

I really don't understand how this passed internal testing or even the design phase, pretty much every engineer would prefer sucking more power directly from the PSU than from the much thinner tracers on the motherboard...

EDIT: Apparently the motherboard tracers aren't the big problem especially on high end motherboards which have a very thick power plane.

The power spike can however damage the PCIE slot itself mainly the pin's as the electromechanical spec for the PCIE sig dictates the exact specification for the pins on the slots even higher end motherboards might be damaged (slot damage like the ones reported over on the AMD forums) if there is too much current draw as the pins are likely to overheat and can either melt down or melt the plastic around them and cause the mechanical connection to fail.

Higher end motherboards however do have a better power phase so they are less likely to shutdown with these cards.

My personal recommendation is if you have purchased the reference design of this card use the 30 day money back policy and send it back.
The driver update from AMD might fix it but it also means that your card would likely suffer performance wise at least in some circumstances.
Wait for a new reference design or for non-reference cards to come out if you are still interested in the RX 480.
You'll get a higher performing card or if AMD decides to gimp all RX 480's via the drivers you could at least safely overclock your non-reference card to the original clocks and higher.
No idea why you're being downvoted. This is absolutely valid commentary. Most IoT home devices are atrocious from both a security and a privacy perspective. There are fairly regular posts on HN about the shit-awful security of these devices. Just yesterday there was the post about the guy with the bad Amazon review.

Also, there's another problem I see with this crap, and I can see right where it's going to end up... It won't be long before the FBI gets some judge to declare that our homes are no longer private because our thermostats are connected to the internet. I am already infuriated at the things law enforcement claims in court. I can sense a migraine on the horizon when it comes to a home connected to the internet.
> for the price that they paid, they want to see LinkedIn reduce costs

I'd expect Microsoft to want LinkedIn to maximize profits.

In that equation, the sunk cost of the acquisition should not be a factor.
I've seen that situation exactly.. Large product with SVP support that gets built for AWS, (nearly) launched and then shot down by Jeff himself :)
It is rather trivial for Microsoft to implement support for Linux.

Also, if Windows source code was freely available there would be support for Windows applications on Linux.

Who are under 13?

Was your "before they become teenagers" statement perhaps in error? I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, and ethical concerns aside, I have trouble imagining even a brilliant 12-year-old producing code you'd want to use in a commercial product. (Speaking as someone who started coding at 7.)

Perhaps you're mistaken about the meaning of "teenager"?
Based on my experience and on my bias for what language acquisition researchers I favour ( :-) ), I don't think #2 will work as you described.

The key to language acquisition (acquisition giving you the ability to use the language without undue thought or planning) is repeated exposure in a comprehensible way. So you would think that skimming would be ideal because you can be exposed to the patterns more quickly.

The problem is that research has shown that you require 95% comprehension before you can infer the meaning of unknown language based on context. So unless you are already very familiar with the vast majority constructs and vocabulary, you will not be able to infer anything new and you will not learn anything.

My opinion is that native readers can skim because they already are very familiar with the structures and can guess what's going to be said. This allows them to skip over most of the sentence and still pick out the meaning. The less familiar you are with the structures, the less success you will have (and research shows that the drop off is very dramatic).

On the plus side, the average novel has thousands of unique vocabulary and virtually all commonly used grammar. If you work through a single book, you will cover a huge chunk of the language. And since authors often stick to their favoured vocabulary and sentence structures, once you get half way through, you can usually read without a dictionary. Certainly if you read a second or third book in the series, it can go very quickly.

As an interesting(?) side note, I met my wife when both her English and my Japanese were quite poor. This meant that we had to listen very intently to each other. When the other person got it wrong, we knew it was a mistake and not a matter of not listening. I find that most people (me too) do not listen well in their native language and "skim" conversations -- listening to a small fraction and making the rest up. This is just not possible for beginner-intermediate language learners and ironically it formed the basis for excellent communication between my wife and I. Now that our other language skills have improved, we do not communicate nearly as well!

Time-series data is chronological and immutable and which has time as a primary dimension; think about the outputs of a weather-monitoring station for example which streams air pressure, wind speed and direction and temperature at ( say ) one-second intervals.

You can stuff all that into a standard RDBMS with appropriate schema design but there's a lot of wasted overhead; you're not going to execute updates, for example, and there can probably be a lot of smart compression achievable for long series of unchanging data, such as air pressure which might remain constant for hours and then change gradually.

~~

A slightly more obscure example is ADS-B data streamed from aircraft. I did a logging system and schema a few years back and in order to handle the input volume it held the raw data on ramdisk and ran summarisation logic before inserting into an RDBMS. So it persisted the minimum and maximum altitudes of a particular aircraft in a particular period, for example, but in doing so we lost data on the intermediate vertical flightpath and rates of change. And each aircraft had multiple time periods for each encounter. It rapidly became quite complicated compared to the use a time-series store where the data would be stored in sequence and the complicated logic is moved to the offline query stage rather than the up-front storage pre-processing stage.
At the speed science and technology are progressing, Darwinian evolution is more or less irrelevant as far as humans are concerned. We'll have IQ enhancing drugs, invented hard AI to take care of us or cured age death long before random DNA mutations or "breeding" adds or subtracts a few IQ points to our descendants. There are a lot of things we should worry about but genetics of future humans isn't one of them in my opinion.
Hmm. I also travel to and from home and office, and that's a wrap/unwrap of the cable each time. I do wrap mine a particular way, so maybe that helps them last longer?
Well, there's one hiccup.

You can't privately dump. Well, you can try.

Since you're selling at a loss on the open market, others with capital will see an unexpected price and wonder if you have developed a unique efficiency. After some basic research, some will guess at what you're trying to do.

They then have some great options. Invest in competitors or substitutes for the coming reduced supply. Or, stockpile the goods you sell, buying cheaply from you and even undercutting you in the future. Or, develop ways to reduce fixed costs. Build "fast spin up" sites with on-call labor so you can quickly return to market.

The dumping strategy works pretty well in a game with only two players. It does not work against the entire global system of capital and investment.
Why do you think it's unprofessional for the Washington Post to publish this article? I personally don't see anything particularly wrong with it so I'm curious as to what you find unprofessional about it.
Catching something extraordinary on camera has never been proof. In the past, people could claim dark room effects. In the present, people can claim photoshop. It is silly to ask that such things be caught on camera when real images would be indistinguishable from fake images. You need to see such things firsthand like that psychiatrist claims to have and if you do, almost no one in this age will believe you. It would something like this, except without any fun before the last pane:
