>college students in particular are prone to library anxiety because they believe their research skills are inadequate

because their skills are inadequate. Either research shills aren't taught or the students don't listen because too often my college students have little idea how to research if it doesn't show up in the first few results of google.

There is also the fact that researching can take a while. If the perfect source doesn't show up right away then it might take a while to find it. Students don't know how to do this or don't want to put in the effort before they give up.

I try to teach my students how to do research but it isn't really part of my class topic so I can't spend too much time on it. It is also an uphill battle when so many of my students seem to still think that all .org web sites are still organizations and therefore more credible than .com.

>Once students make it past the lobby, it can be hard to locate a librarian.

But maybe I'm a bad example myself because although I have a phd I have never asked a librarian for help researching a topic.
Thanks this was precisely it. It seems a few people misinterpreted my post.

Or if you're in Germany, many teachers are running on temporary contracts that always last for the school year, so they will be receiving unemployment benefits during the summer break, and (hopefully!) get a new contract for the next school year.

It's a great way to shuffle cost from one government budget (education) to another one (unemployment benefits), and also a convenient way to get rid of annoying parts of the staff.
There are lots of places where teachers easily make 80k or more. Most states also drive additional salary requirements based on the level of education the teacher has. Also, the number of years teaching (though sometimes tied to the number of years in the specific school system/district) include increases too.

Unfortunately nobody is selling the phone I want: an actual open-source (probably linux) phone. I had the original iPhone, but won't get another one unless they go open-source. I have an Android, but I hate it's closed-off, blobby mess. I'm extremely glad Apple is pushing privacy, but I just can't support them until they put their money where their mouth is. I'd love an alternative to these, but I've yet to see any decent ones that are available to me.

Or it's a proof that they need the money.
Not all, but the one in my example did, and many do: http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=High_School_Teacher/...

I am sure that by getting a master's degree, teaching in private schools, being in certain states or cities, teaching classes that are in great demand, etc., teachers can reach higher salaries. But I think we can agree that by becoming teachers in the first place, they pretty much accepted the risk of never earning much.

Likewise, not all programmers in start-ups earn 40k, which is what the example was about.

What did the site in the story sell for? Beer money isn't descriptive enough.
Can I ask, are you a programmer? My guess is you are not. If you were you would understand the real physical strain and mental toll it takes to be good. If you want to excel, it is a never-ending battle to stay current and there is little to no reward for experience (even though it matters a great deal and must be accomplished on and off the clock). There is limited time to make money before you either burn out or are perceived to be too old to stay relevant. So, yes, there is a lot of risk putting the best earning years into companies that promise one thing and deliver another.
Exactly. The default judgement is "not guilty". The burden is on the gov't to prove it's case. If the gov't fails to do so, either because they didn't explain things well or asked the wrong questions of witnesses, then you vote not guilty.

How to make the Scala compiler to review your code
(I'm the one who made the original reply about teachers.)

My comment was based on observations of my SO, who is a high school biology teacher. She legitimately does not have to work at all for the great majority of the summer if she doesn't want to. I understand this may vary a lot by school district and location, and of course even if you don't have to work over the summer there are still benefits to doing so.
Cause it pays well, and it's relatively easy.
What so you do with them? Expand and flip, or maintain and reap the monthlies, or what?

I understand why someone sick of a project would sell it. I don't fully understand the buyer market. Why would someone pay 20k for some car muffler site that makes 2k a year in AdWords traffic?
There are ~1800 police officers (out of 3185 listed in the DB) in MA alone who make > $100K [1].

This ruling has been made by the 'Landgericht Hamburg'. This court is notorious for its rulings against freedom of speech [0]. This has nothing to do with this particular case, and the usual criticism is directed against its particular one-sided view on libel law suits (usually against the accused). Nevertheless, this ruling kind of reflects the courts attitudes [1]...

An English translation of the ruling is available at http://bombadil.infradead.org/~hch/vmware/Judgment_2016-07-0.... The reasons for dismissal are explained in detail starting at page 16. The judges leads in to them with this statement:

"Nonetheless, these questions (on which the legal interest of the parties and their counsel presumably focus) can and must remain unanswered. This is because the very first requirement for conducting an examination, namely that code possibly protected for the Plaintiff as a holder of adapter’s copyright has been used in the Defendant’s product, cannot be established. This is still true even after taking into account the Plaintiff’s subsequently admitted procedural document dated 29.04.2016, in which he (after the deadline had been extended) had a further opportunity to enter a pleading on the reservations in this respect which the court had already expressed at the hearing."

So it sounds like the judge communicated that he was concerned about the evidentiary standards and gave Hellwig a chance to respond but still wasn't satisfied.

Useful Scalac Options for Better Scala Development: Part 1
If only the media was quick to blame them for cyberattacks that happen under their watch, too. Then they might finally start to care. But because corporate media has such a tight relationship with all the Washington insiders, that never really happens.

One good example from recent times of how well this type of "incentive" works is Google and Stagefright. The media went nuts over Stagefright affecting virtually all Android devices - and for good reason, too.

Since then Google seems to be taking Android security way more seriously, and there have been a lot of serious security improvements in Android (7.0) over the past year.

But these sort of actions seem to happen in slow motion, if at all, when there isn't a hacking/malware catastrophe for which the companies can get blamed in the press.

The NSA pushed hard for new surveillance laws such as CISA with the promise that it's what they need to keep us safe against cyberattacks. So why isn't every single media entity blaming the NSA over every major new data breach that happened since then?

LSP came out of Liskov's work on CLU (amongst other things). CLU didn't have inheritance, though it did have have 'interface specifications'. LSP is most properly thought of as pertaining to interfaces rather than inheritance.

LSP as most people seem to currently conceive it is coloured by their experience with languages like C++, where inheritance and polymorphism are welded to one another. Same goes for the likes of Java, albeit to a lesser extent. In the case of languages like that, LSP also needs to deal with the subclass/superclass relationship, and that has over time overshadowed its most important aspect: substitutability of implementations.
Why do you think I switched to a Nexus 5x?

For some of my and my family's use when traveling, Verizon is the only non-local carrier to provide coverage.

Anyway, as I said, I don't trust the Android "ecosystem". Even if and when one can, sometimes with considerable time and effort, find local maxima within it, it overall just sucks in this respect.

By contrast, even on Verizon, Apple has the muscle to tell them to fuck off and to push updates directly. On Verizon, buy an iPhone and you stay as up-to-date as everyone else.
Okay first, it probably doesn't get information from air gapped computers without being plugged in, so let's quit with the voodoo right now. You guys are discounting the possibility of idiocy.

Second, making partitions that windows doesn't see is trivially easy. I went out of my way to buy a 128gb flash drive nearly 10 years ago at great expense, it had a 4gb fat 32 partition which is what Windows would see.

It had an 16gb Linux partition with 8gb of that being an encrypted partition

I installed a bootloader that allowed it to be switched to if plugged in when any computer was starting up

The other 100gb you ask? Another partition....

Hey, I run Linux. I just think that it's worth acknowledging that it's got some flaws. One of the reasons I listen to people like Bryan Cantrill.

Especially about epoll. Jesus.

Anyway, GP is +3. It got downvoted a ton, but it bounced back.
It's bigger than that, though. Me (or you) disagreeing doesn't make us right. A lot of the stability and rule of law in the US is attributed to having a stable constitution that has stood the test of time. On certain issues, its immutability has been bad or inefficient, but in the long run it's helped with our stability. For all of the shit our courts take, we have the most stable, transparent and probably fair (meaning impartial) judiciary in the entire world. A lot of that is driven by the originalist/textualist/pragmatists/intentionalist debate. None of them are entirely right, either. That's the nature of law and trying to achieve the "right" outcome.

Ask HN: Can anyone help us with Positioning?
We have built www.comtify.com .

The original problem we thought we'll solve was the problem with emails - huge mail volume, threading, clutter etc.

We built it as a collaboration tool and later thought we'll integrate email so that it will behave as an email client. But the email client thing hasn't materialized as it would take huge dev effort.

Now we have a collaboration tool or a Unified communication tool.

- Previously, we positioned it as a unified communication tool. Very low conversion rate and we thought it isn't working, so we changed it.

- Currently, we have positioned it as a tool to organize work, eases meeting scheduling and reminders (as you can see on the website).

- We are thinking to change it to 'The Next Version of Email' (which is a validated problem - we used to have 9% signup rate on this previously). Herein we'll say that we are a closed email system and just like you create an email ID elsewhere, you reserve your username here and communicate with others (using the system) just like Email but much more powerfully. The problem here is that until others are invited onto Comtify, it's unusable and for it to compete with email, a huge critical mass of users would be needed.

- Another thought is to position it as a 'Free Business Email', wherein we'll say that we are the first free provider of business email. [Herein, we'll look at other revenue sources like charging businesses only on on-premise deployment etc.]. This would not actually be emails, but usernames on Comtify (just like Twitter handles). But again, the problem here is of critical mass - unless it grows fast enough to be able to be used by many businesses, it can't be used for external communication and company will have to use standard email client for that.

Kindly help!

It's not entirely clear with the GPLv2 that that's the case. The FSF claims that because modules are loading into the address space of the kernel that makes them an integrated part of a single program and not mere aggregation, and are therefore covered by the GPLv2's restrictions as a derivative work.

It should be noted, however, that this is merely the FSF's opinion, and this has never been definitively legally established.

The GPLv3 was designed to, inter alia, eliminate such ambiguities, but added so much complexity it never really caught on outside the GNU project.

This is the law, though, not scientific research. Getting it wrong on reading Darwin is relatively inconsequential. Getting the law wrong impacts peoples' lives. That is why you have different theories of constitutional interpretation. It's more than what it means or what it meant, some will delve into should it mean what it meant.

Let me introduce you to the word “pusillanimous”. It means showing a lack of courage or determination, or being timid.

So when you call somebody a 'pussy' for not having the courage to do something that has _nothing_ to do with felines or vaginas. (As most people commonly seem to think). Being a 'pussy' is short for 'pusillanimous', nothing to do with cats at all…

The big cost in these systems is the water since they're placed in locations where land is cheap (read: otherwise worthless). So conquering the spaces between circles really isn't very important. The key is to increase yield-per-gallon of water not yield-per-acre as is typical with farms.

In yield-per-acre scenarios we already have horizontal irrigation systems that roll across a given area kind of like that giant lane-spanning Chinese bus that recently made the news. The only disadvantage to these systems is they have more moving parts (two sets of wheels) and are limited in how far they can roll (they're usually hooked up to coiling hose systems) so you need more of them.
