The issue is that the profit comes before the education. These institutions prey on low-income people who for whatever
reason couldn't get into public institutions. When the students graduate they have huge debts, typically larger than
those that went to public institutions, but worse their degrees are often worthless. The accreditation for these institutions
often come from companies owned by the same corporation. The accreditation means nothing so your credits can't transfer.
Do a google search, you'll find article after article about students who went to these schools trying to get a better life
and just made their lives worse. They went from poor, to hopelessly poor. Whereas before they were poor with bad job
prospects they're now poor with bad job prospects and HUGE debts. They often just stop paying them. It's one of the
biggest contributors to our student debt problem.

The problem with for-profit prisons is the misalignment between what's good for profit and what's good for prisoners. Where the prisoners can't "vote with their wallets" to counter-balance this misalignment.

I don't see a similar issue with for-profit schools. In order to attract students they need to to provide good education and foster a good reputation.

Sounds like I was right to pass on the company that promised me "4000 options" and insisted that any details beyond that were strictly confidential and could under no circumstances be disclosed to any non-employees.

I'm not convinced about the low optimum.

There seems to be a clear correlation between employment and ability, but then they bend the data into a model that seems to exaggerate the differences between >35 and <35 cohorts.

Well you need to have a recent version (here: 5.0) of kdevplatform installed. kdevplatform (shell, language agnostic infrastructure, vcs plugins, etc. pp.) is a set of libraries KDevelop is based on.

Get kdevplatform from:
git://anongit.kde.org/kdevplatform

Install kdevplatform, kdevelop, kdev-rust, etc. into the same install prefix (-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/foo) and you should be fine.

Also have a look at: https://community.kde.org/KDevelop/HowToCompile_v5#3._Run_KD... for setting up the env before running KDevelop.

Unfortunately the damage done by these institutions is so great that it's ruined the credibility of getting many degrees or specialized training and all while saddling students with lifetime debt to the detriment of the national debt.

I'm actually more at ease with this change than if there was no default text. There's that flicker of recognition when I look at the input area before I start typing—"I'm messaging @channel." Call me paranoid, but I often flick over to the sidebar to see which channel I'm in before I dive into some conversations, just to make sure I'm not saying something in a public channel I shouldn't—like scanning over the recipients before you send an email. This proactively reassures me so I don't have to flit about making sure I'm doing the right thing.

That's correct.

However, I still much prefer RSUs over options in the case where you're joining a large/later stage company. Say you go to a Slack or Uber today. They won't (I believe they legally can't?) issue you options below their FMV (fair market value). They will give you some arbitrary/negotiable number of RSUs and options however. Then consider the following scenarios:

(1) The company then IPOs or is acquired several years from now, at double the current valuation. In this scenario, assuming you 83(b)'d and early exercised, you get the favorable tax treatment on the gains for the ISOs. But you're still out the exercise price outlay. The RSUs meanwhile are worth what they're worth, and you are taxed on them at the higher rate and that's that.

(2) The IPO or change of control happens too soon (less than 2 years from date of grant or 1 year from date of 83(b)/exercise). Your fancy options spread is still just ordinary income with no advantage over the RSUs.

(2) The company IPOs or is acquired next year, for the same FMV. Your options are worthless, your RSUs are still worth a goodly amount hopefully.

(3) The company IPOs at half the FMV of when you joined. Your options are worthless, your RSUs are worth something.

(4) The company fails/does a down round/whatever. You are probably wiped out regardless.

The only scenario in which the options are more interesting is as noted, very early stage companies where the exercise price is really small, or insane rocketships with an active secondary market providing real liquidity. Or, I guess when the company itself is holding liquidity events regularly (and even then it's only interesting if the FMV continues to grow up rapidly).
No, people who ask for trigger warnings don't want it enforced by law. They want people they interact with to be polite enough to take their needs into consideration. That's it. If a friend asked you, "please don't talk about rape or slavery around me (in cases that you really need to) without giving me an opportunity to collect myself", would you say "sure thing, I'll try and keep that in mind" or "no, fuck off and look after yourself"?

You can do the same with objects. Difference is the semantics is more flexible with an implementation that can be as simple or complex as you want.

> If virtually all of it leaves the country, what public policy problem have you solved?

A good point. A couple ideas, though neither is sufficient:

* International agreements control distribution of other dangerous goods; that's doable. However, look at how well that works with drugs, and even nukes get around.

* At least stop sophisticated organizations (defense contractors, SV firms, etc.) from making them for foreign governments. Their skills are harder, though not impossible, to replace. Perhaps ban the sale of exploits - taking away the profit motive - but permit distribution for personal, research, etc. purposes.
This approach will likely be most useful for large enterprises that get attacked, since they're more likely to have a buffered packet capture of network traffic. This is still incredibly powerful given that most ransomware-prevention mechanisms are completely useless once the ransomware is already in your system.
> I think the push model is better in terms of security and discovery (which is how I think most of the other metric aggregators work).

Interesting, I think the pull model is better at least in terms of discovery, and you need less configuration overall for a pull-based monitoring system, as now you need to only configure the monitoring system to know about your services, and the service instances don't need to know: a) who they are, b) where the monitoring system lives. In a push-based world, you need to configure both sides.

Do you believe that speakers of hate speech should be allowed on campus? I think theres a big difference between speakers you disagree with and the former.

I'm a grad student at DePaul at the loop campus so I don't really follow much of what is going on with the undergrads at the main campus, but it seems to me that the administration is taking a hard stance because of people like Milo who are mostly there for shock effect and not because they are saying anything of substance. His speech was successfully protested and he wasn't invited back.
Early exercise is great for the majority of situations. The 100k limit for ISO options can be a potential downside. If there is a spread between the strike price and the FMV, only the first 100k worth of shares will be considered ISOs and the rest will be treated as NSOs. In the case of no early exercise, you could get 100k of ISOs per year for the 4 years.

Comcast automated “DDOS” connection shutdown threshold?
hand't done any load testing from my local machine in a while. Fired up a simple single concurrency test to a remote DNS and after maybe 40 or 50 hits the connection just stops cold and hangs. Last request never gets to the server and times out. Checked my levels and both the client and server - no errors and no significant load. Moved the client test onto a third party cloud and it completed with no issues.

The delta is comcast AFAICT. id been doing load testing from my local machine for years but this must be new or newer. So did i get on the "list" or is this behavior other people have seen before with comcast? it makes sense from their perspective to shut down noisy connections that might be construed as DDOS but still odd...

While I agree with you, I think it's worth noting that Yale's system of on-campus housing is drastically different than that at most universities. The residential college system offers much closer and personal interactions with a set of deans, faculty, and staff that is reinforced over the entire four years at the school. Whatever one's stance on the Yale controversy, I think it's important to distinguish Yale's housing system from standard college dorms.

Yes, you are correct. I was over-simplifying and over-generalizing to keep my point simple and clear.

For some women (and also some men), making less money is a conscious choice that rests on a well considered value system. And for some men (and also some women), going to great lengths to make more money is the result of questionable values and drives.

You make interesting observations which are rarely given much consideration by those I have seen using the 'total pay gap' to further their political agenda.

This will be a... clarifying moment for eBay. I make my living on eBay and gross about 10x the average USA wage. Used stuff is involved. eBay once loveed people who bought and sold used stuff. They are one of the biggest used car venues in the world. They want to sell new stuff and become Amazon. Now Amazon is beating eBay on its own turf. Maybe eBay will have to remember their roots and start taking care of both its sellers and its end users in the used stuff sector.
> I often see folks end up relying on internal implementation details of other libraries, or other data sources, and things can subtly break

I'm not sure how you can get around this as a consumer of a service? How do you know what is an internal implementation detail? Why are they exposing implementation details?

As a producer of a service there are lots of techniques. E.g.

- Only expose data and provide a spec for that data.

- Provide "helper" classes in target languages for consumers to use

- Publish an API spec + gaurantees

- Always maintain backwards compatibility
One of earlier works combining high-security and functional programming was a security kernel for Scheme48:

There was also a mathematically-verified, Scheme CPU:

http://www.cs.indiana.edu/pub/techreports/TR544.pdf

I imagine combining even these three components into an integrated systems would provide a lot more security and availability than the average desktop. The simplicity of the CPU might also aid in producing a NonStop-like solution for five 9's availability.

> It's based on TUF which is the state if the art in secure content distribution.

Sounds great in theory, but there hasn't been much traction on that project, at least from their own website, for over 6 months. Not much in terms of peer review of their method, or practical audits of their technology. Even your own audit is over a year old now, despite constant changes to the codebase.

That said, I do recall now when this was announced originally, and I'm glad that it at least exists. That it has skipped my memory makes me wonder why there has been little to no press about it since then. How broadly adopted has this been? Can we get signed images for, say, Ubuntu from docker hub?

Good to hear. Also, interesting to note that runc still requires root access to make cgroups; I was not aware of this restriction.

> The Docker core engineering team invests more time on hardening than features.

I find this to be an interesting position to take, considering that a core component of docker has been historically re-written with every other release: registry in 1.6, disk plugins in 1.7, networking in 1.9, runc in 1.11. IIRC, networking was re-written again in 1.12, to support yet another version of clustered networking. That's a lot of churn for less than a year and a half worth of time.

That hasn't gone well for me in the past.

devicemapper errors in ubuntu 14.04, prior to dynamic linking: not our problem.

devicemapper dropping mounts sporadically: move to overlayfs.

Low level mutexes being shared between containers: that's nodejs' problem.

It's frankly become easier to create and use workarounds like spam-unmounting orphaned devicemapper mounts, or custom-compiling and distributing docker, or disabling docker-managed networking, and so on.

I feel bad for ragging on Docker like this, especially since I do end up using it frequently; but as a system administrator Docker is a nearly daily headache. Our developers love it, but the rest of us... not so much. I guess it's one of those "technologies everyone complains about" vs "technologies nobody uses" things. It's just really frustrating.

We use vibrating alarm clocks. If you're only hard of hearing, a regular alarm clock can still work as well. My favorite alarm clock had a vibrator and sound, but it also had a socket for my lamp to plug into, so it would wake me up in all 3 ways. Fantastic for waking up at 6AM when I just wanted to either kill myself or go back to sleep. (Sadly, when I was at NTID, the socket for the vibrator to plug in broke.)
I think the idea of state monopolies over "vices" (see also, government-run liquor stores) is to remove the profit incentive from running these businesses while still providing legal options for customers so they don't enrich criminals.

EDIT: to address the sibling comment. if companies that manage the monopolies earn a fixed fee rather than per-unit, the non-profit motive is still attained.
