Put it this way - it's not cheaper, but it's more affordable.

Say a price of a brand new Tesla is 100k Euro. If you got a loan from a bank to buy it, you might be paying back 1000-2000 euro a month just to pay it back in a few years. That is quite a lot. There are companies however, which let you part-lease or part-hire or however they call it, when you pay roughly 1/2 of the value of the car over 3-4-5 years, but you don't get to keep it at the end. So you might have a brand new Tesla S, for say 400 euro a month - which is very affordable. The only caveat is that you don't get to own the car at the end - but for a lot of people that's not a huge issue.
Easy student loans for worthless education is what created the problem of sham for-profit universities to begin with.

I wanted to personalize why you might want to check us out as I think copy/paste non-personalized job ads on HN are boring and don't deserve a place here.

I started back with Virtru as a Senior Software Engineer in July of 2015 and work remotely. I have never once felt left out because I am remote. This is my first remote job and I cannot see how anyone would ever want to work any other way now. We currently use Slack, Google Hangouts, and Screenhero, so you won't be cut off to fend for yourself in the wild. Most of the developers are on the east coast, but we have a few people on the west coast & central.

One of the more interesting things about Virtru is that a lot of work is around browser extensions, which is fairly atypical for software products, so you'll get to learn something new. So what's working there like for a remote person? We have a stand up for the feature team at 10AM EST, and one for our DevOps. After that your day is usually in your court outside of the regular sprint end/begin activities (retro, review, planning). If you like going heads down with no/minimal distractions you can often achieve that. You won't be micromanaged to get your work done and getting your work done is the most important measure. You'll get the freedom to experience what it is to worry about only your work and not if you're showing your face for enough hours. If that means you bust ass 3 days a week and keep yourself available for the other two for stand up, possible reviews and questions, and maybe a meeting no one should care.

Huh, I've attended classes at two universities: one for my undergraduate and one while I was in HS, and neither had a system in place to explicitly bar you from registering for a class whose pre-reqs you didn't fulfill. At best you'd get a scary message confirmation message telling asking you "You don't meet the pre-reqs, you may be dropped from the class, are you sure?".

Also, at least when I was an undergrad, the Banner student system (from ellucian company) had no system in place for barring you from registering from classes. This was frequently the point of discussion between the professors that I TA'd for.

Same as hospitals and prisons. The goal of the company does not align with the expected service. The goal of a company is to make money for shareholders and investors. This causes issues when normal corporate practices such as cost cutting happens, because a lot of time, there is no place to cut without lowering the quality of the service. The good people get frustrated and leave, and its left running by skeleton crews, mostly filled with people who have no problem squeezing every cent from their customers.

Eh, no. Enough computing power in this case (even in the case of bitcoin) is significantly less than the amount of computing power that exists today.

For a lot of crypto the amount is magnitudes larger, and working for thousands (or millions) of years to break it.

I agree that the 51% attack is unlikely on BTC now, but it doesn't bear comparison to (for instance) brute forcing an AES-GCM message...

How is this any different than the mess between angularJS 1 and angular 2?
I don't understand. My deductible is also around 3% of my salary. But my insurance company pays in a lot before I hit that point. Appointments, lab work, etc. are all partially covered, typically with a copay. GP costs me $20, specialist costs me $30, x-rays cost around $50-200 depending on the number and kind (and that's just the highest I've seen, I'm sure it can go higher). But my health insurer (BCBS) pays at least that much for each of those.

I'd look for a new policy. I once was offered a terrible policy by a contracting agency I worked for. It would've cost me around $10k/year, out of pocket with BCBS was around $2k/year and offered much better benefits (I was around 25 at the time, ACA may have changed that baseline cost).

And to answer your question, I presently pay around 3.3% of my salary for medical, dental, vision coverage (3 separate policies, vision is almost free at ~$120/year, but I have terrible eyesight so the cost is worth it for me).

An Oral History of Facebook's News Feed, Which Just Turned 10
This course of study seems to take just as much, if not more, time than a math ugrad+master's at a typical uni. The people who could really benefit from having a path of textbooks like this fall into two categories: those who don't have access a university (due to poverty, rural location, and/or being a shift worker, for example), and high school students.

And I think the latter category is more important than people realize. When I was a high school student, I benefitted greatly from t'Hooft's theorist.html (like this, but for physics, and put together by one of the Greats of the field). It's part of what got me really interested in physics, it was a whole lot of fun, and it actually did a pretty good job of preparing me for graduate-level coursework. Eventually I left physics and math for CS (I'm in PL, so this is even less drastic of career change than one might think), but I still have warm memories of working along t'Hooft's guide and checking off topics as I finished the problems in each textbook.
A - The "capitalist system", much like evolution, does not have goals. Capitalism is just people trading with each other. The USA has had a similar system for hundreds of years, where the rich have gotten richer, but the poor have also gotten richer. So blaming capitalism itself is not a good answer. What has changed within capitalism to make the results from 1776 - 1990 different from 1990 - 2014? Either this is just a temporary decrease for the bottom percentiles, or there are other factors that have caused this shift (globalization, technology, government policies, personal choices, etc).

B - Do you really want to own the business you work for? If you work at a chocolate factory, and own the chocolate factory - your entire livelyhood is tied to that chocolate factory. If the company goes under, you lose your job and your savings. Wouldn't you rather own bits and pieces of many other companies, to share in their success?

But regardless, I believe your point is that it sucks not having savings / capital. Obviously true - but how do you propose people get savings / capital? Confiscate capital from the rich to give to the poor?

Then why say that you're ending the support for Bootstrap 3? Clearly something IS not going to be done from this point onward, and it's that thing which is worrying people.
It is the same here, you never deal with the company, just send it to the store and they handle it from there.

The five or two year warranty is called "Reklamasjonsrett" in Norwegian which covers design and manufacturing flaws.
It also states that the seller can try to fix it three times, after that it needs to give you something equivalent (i.e. a new phone of at least the price of the old) and that they can't charge the customer for any ting relating to the repair.

But we also have the "Garanti" from the manufacturer like you do.

I agree in principles, but there's a difference. A system able to break a strong encryption could cost more than the world GDP and is not reallistically feasible, while owning 51% of bitcoin power is possible - not cheap, but possible.

I find that not just acceptable, but fitting.. I mean, what more could you say in response to some unnamed person having unnamed concerns?

> Conferences are about bringing people together. We hope the community can accept our apology and move forward

This is just a bunch of doublespeak, directing it all into the memory hole after not addressing anything seriously. If I was part of that community, my response would be a resounding "No, that's neither thorough nor adult enough. What else other than this squishy foam do you have to offer?".
Correct, it is not linked to me directly.

FlashSafe is a startup listed and verified on innmind.com - international platform for startups and investors. Which is, actually, what I'm linked to.

I submitted this post here, because I find it interesting for the hackers community. FlashSafe founder told me, that he plans to make an open call for hackers community to try to hack his protection to prove it's really safe. I think that is a cool approach. So why not to spread information about the new device I wonder?
Apple charges $99 for the two year warranty in the states. You get that "free" in Europe. Add in all of the other regulatory burdens, labor laws, and such, and it's very easy to see why things cost more in the rest of the Western world.

As a perfect example, they're likely on the hook for many millions of dollars of repairs with this issue in the article in the EU. In the US, only the people that had the problem early on or bought the extended warranty are covered. There ain't no free lunch.
Thank god. Next on the menu: University of Phoenix please.
Just another data point but I use ddg exclusively because it's more flexible. Do I get the results I'm looking for? Great. Do I not? I just use to bang syntax to query somewhere else without having to change sites. It's more convenient than google for me to use, therefore better for my needs. I've been using ddg long enough now that I often refer to "searching the internet" as "ducking" rather than "googling" xD but I'm sure that's just because it makes me feel cool, rather than me naturally thinking about ddg before google, haha.
> What's the case against community colleges historically?

nothing, but they don't have slick advertising and promise you a $75k/year job, or aggressively recruit you by calling you non-stop and using manipulative pressure tactics like you're buying a $50,000 cell phone plan at a mall kiosk.

It seems one of the solutions to this problem is not sticking your iphone into a back pocket of your skinny jeans.

I constantly see girls sticking an iphone into the back pocket of their pants that are so tight you wonder how they even got it in there. Then they sit down with the damn phone still in there. I am surprised it doesn't snap in half.

I typically carry my phone or keep it in my front pocket removing it before I sit down in fear of bending it.

The other response was good, but yeah to be clear you don't want to go blocking your customer service IPs... that's just going to impede sales / returns / their ability to do their job.

You want to encourage your company as a whole, development and legal and everyone else, to take part in regular 3rd party audits and training around PCI Best Practices.

My point at the start of this was just that it doesn't do any good to dismiss this as "scammy" or think that one team can do this by themselves.

But is it really common with grenade attacks in Paris, Brussels and London?

I found one reference to a attack in 2003 in London after a bit of searching. In Sweden, there has at least been 10 or so the last year, with one causalty - the 8 year old that was killed in his bed.

The rest have been explosions outsite apartments - I suppose it's a bit hard to throw a grenade through a window a few stories up. There was also an attack against some policemen in their car - I think they escaped by pure luck.
Flagging should, perhaps, take you directly to the post. I've sometimes found it difficult to find the link that I accidentally flagged again to undo it.

If not that, we need a "Flagged Articles/Comments" in our user profiles so we can go back and review what we flagged and correct our errors. At least then it'd be a two-step fix instead of a look and hope "unflag" is on the front page or two.

I went to a similar for-profit school in Minnesota who also similarly shut down last year.

I still feel like they get a bad rap. Was it overpriced? Probably. Did I learn a ton and have small class sizes. Absolutely. The instructors had all previously worked in the industry, and knew their topics very well.

On top of all that, after graduation their persistent pestering of "how many places did you apply to this week?" (surely to help their numbers) had a lot to do with me actually getting a job. I didn't want to let the lady that called me weekly down. It took a lot of persistence and interviewing but I finally got my foot firmly in the door about 6 months after graduation.

I've been gainfully employed in the industry for ten years, I'm debt free, and I'm happy. I'm thankful for my time there.

I put a lot of money into advertising through the "proper channels" for my business, including Facebook Ads. We were crushed by a competitor who activated a few links within his PBN and spent some serious time astroturfing, both tactics that I had refused to engage in.

The sad reality of online marketing is that people who are buying ads are suckers. The only way to be competitive online is to actively game the mechanisms that the few big traffic brokers use to determine rank.

Really? That's all it takes? With all of the bungling in recent years, they have a long way to go before "pride" and "European institutions" can appear in the same sentence. You should also think through the full consequences of this move. The idea of free papers is nice, but it's not a fairy tale victory of good over evil. Also, political motives are worth considering. Science in the EU, given what it is, may wish to become more competitive in the face of American science and attract collaboration in more or less the same way open source and free software has.

I agree. Do you think perhaps it might be of some value to argue this point in a way that's not trivial to dismiss for valid reasons? I think perhaps it might be of some value. Feel free to continue to caricature yourself for the benefit of unsympathetic interlocutors if it pleases you to do so, but please also consider the possibility that you might argue more effectively by doing otherwise.
