I agree. The article tries to bring out an important issue: USA immigration policies need changes. But it starts the argument using unsubstantial cases.
I like this idea. FDIC-style "look, we'll protect a reasonable amount" approach.
It got put into place because they are high risk loans given out to people that have nothing to secure them with.

If you could discharge them in bankruptcy, no one would offer them because huge percentages of people would go ahead and do so.
It is difficult for me to imagine the level of jingoism necessary to consider it a problem that foreign entrepreneurs don't need the US. Why would you want the entire world to be dependent on the US? That doesn't help either the US or the rest of the world.

This is anecdotal evidence, but in the UK while I was in university I estimated about 1/3 of female students worked as a variety of temporary sex workers. I imagine it is higher now since tuition tripled and rents have shot up.
My favorite tip in this vein is "fc" => Fix Command, along with "#my_command --here".

If you're unsure of a command, press insert a leading "#" to make it a comment (Up-Arrow, Ctrl-A, #, Enter). Then "fc" will load that command into $EDITOR where you can have full text edit capabilities before writing and exiting the file to execute the command.

I know there's some magic keystrokes to get into vi-mode from the command line but I can never remember them, whereas "fc" is pretty easy to remember for the rare occasion when I need it.

That's the problem. You add bankruptcy back in and the student loan problem will disappear. Banks will start assessing each person's ability to pay back loans before giving them a lifetime burden of debt.

Fix bankruptcy laws, fix the student loan problem.

Correction: a few controversial pardons happen on the last day of office. The majority of presidential pardons flow through the normal process where a person applies for the pardon, has their case reviewed by a team formed for this purpose. Obama stands out as one of the presidents who has issued the FEWEST pardons, although he says he may change that. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-08-04/obama-says-he...
>> Part of the problem is that the last few generations have been told the same thing: blue collar jobs aren't "good" jobs. You need to go to college so you can get a "good" job sitting at a desk because those other jobs are below you. If you take one of those blue collar jobs then you've failed and aren't "achieving your potential".

I think another part of it is that even low level office jobs now require some sort of degree simply because everybody has one. It's no longer something unique to have on your CV hence why so many people seem to be going for Masters degrees too. I know so many people only getting out of education in their late 20's and many of them got a degree, struggled to find a job, so went back for the Masters to give them ad edge.

Another problem all this education causes is lack of experience. If you decide at 16 or 17 that you're going into a trade you can get an apprenticeship and build up experience. If you go to college 'because that's what people do' and struggle to find a job based on your degree when you come out it's hard to even get a job in retail or sales because you're 23 with no experience.

One solution might be to only offer loans for degrees that lead to a job (doctor, lawyer, architect etc.) and consider things like History or Music a luxury.
> The loan issuers don't need to worry so much about whether you'll be able to pay it back or not, because it's more a question of "when" than "if".

That wouldn't be true even with the limitations on discharge in bankruptcy, except that servicers have been actively steering people with trouble paying into deferments rather than the various income-based-and-discharged-in-N-years plans (where N is generally 20 or 25.)
> I understand that previews are also commercials, but I've made an informed decision about which types of transactions I'm willing to engage in with theaters.

You could also choose to "block" those ads by coming to movies late. That's what I do.. how is that different from blocking ads on the web? The theater is giving me advertisements + content, and I have the ability to ignore / block whatever I want by leaving / entering the theater. Until theaters stop allowing me into movies late and force my eyes open Lasik-style so that I _have_ to watch ads, I'm going to keep engaging in this perfectly ethical behavior.

Positive reinforcement which is perceived as insincere will at best have no effect and at worst be seriously insulting. I can't imagine how an automated system which says vaguely positive things about code that it cannot understand would be seen as anything but insincere.

If you build a system which successfully encourages actual humans to say nice things about one another's code _and mean it_ while incorporating constructive feedback, it would work beautifully, but that is a markedly more challenging problem...

"I'd imagine your life would change very little if you bought something used - that is what we did. Better than renting a few times, for us, anyway."

The local garages charge at least €150 a month for parking. Auto insurance, just for liability, is quite expensive as well. I'd have to pay tax and get an NCT inspection every year too. Not to mention that I have spent too much of my life crawling underneath crappy old cars ('88 Volvo 760, '86 Volvo 240, '90 Nissan Sentra) when I could have just rented something new and well-maintained by someone who isn't me.

There are plenty of folks here who will say "but you're a HN reader! Clearly several hundred euro a month should be a trifling expense!" but, well, it's not. Also, the idea that everyone has a car is how employers in less hospitable places (namely, the US) justify putting their offices a zillion miles away from transit.
I was a bit shocked, though I probably shouldn't have been, to notice recently that police in the local airport all carry assault rifles now. Assault rifles. I'm not that knowledgeable about guns, so I'm not sure what kind exactly - maybe M-16s?

A few years ago there was something about military personnel being stationed with unloaded rifles in airports as part of the War on Terror(TM). I now imagine that was to desensitize us to this future - everyday cops carrying loaded assault rifles in public all the time.

The U.S. really has become a police state.

This sounds almost exactly like the plot of the anime "Psycho-Pass".

The story takes place in an authoritarian future dystopia, where omnipresent public sensors continuously scan the Psycho-Pass of every citizen in range. The sensors measure mental state, personality, and the probability that the citizen will commit crimes, alerting authorities when someone exceeds accepted norms. To enforce order, the officers of the Public Safety Bureau carry hand weapons called Dominators.

The weapons themselves only activate if the intended target has a sufficiently high "crime coefficient", as dictated by a central AI. It's pretty interesting (if you can tolerate a pretty high level of graphic animated violence).

The governments are creating a de facto obligation to buy the codes, essentially a pass-through tax.

The funds are present within the community, or they aren't. The mode of allocation presently used is highly inefficient. It's remarkably similar to the shake-down style of government revealed in places such as Ferguson, MO. And many other locations.
As you are paying off your loans remember the high price of your education helped pay for not just a fancy diploma but also:

You are right that a car can make it cheaper/easier to live at a certain standard of living. However, some people can't afford to live at that standard of living at all and have to make do without the lifestyle improvements that they could have if they had a car. Hence, having a car is a luxury.
A lot of people think they can just ignore ads and that ads don't work on them.

But there are a lot of very talented and creative people, a ton of research, and a whole industry, really, fighting hard against people's conscious or unconscious attempts to ignore ads, and they can be very effective, even if you don't consciously realize it.

There's a lot of research showing that advertisement is effective. The point of advertisement isn't always to directly make you rush out and buy a particular product right away. So just because you don't do that doesn't mean the ad wasn't effective.

Many times the point of the ad is to make you have a positive association with a brand, or to make you remember (even merely subconsciously) the brand so that you recognize it among a lot of other brands you see in a store -- and thus be more likely to buy a product of that brand rather than that of a brand you've never seen an ad for before.

> Just create a list with the 'new' label and you should be good, right?

Yes, but then you have a "backlog" and a "new" list, which are no different, and yet distinct :/

> Not both, but we're working on improving the filters (including the option to do "NOT X OR Y". [0]

That's fantastic, logical operators would be a great feature.

> We're thinking about having different types of lists in Boards, such as 'Milestone boards' and 'Status boards'. Something like that could solve some of your requests as well.

I think that, if you have powerful filtering functionality, then everything could just be a filter. E.g. a board would be a list of filters with two actions or an associated label (i.e. "show me all issues that are X AND Y (OR NOT Z)", and assign label B when an issue is added here and unassign it when removed). Issue lists could similarly just be a filter view ("show me the issues with assignee=me or assignee=none and status=new or not status=closed"), etc.

yeah, it's knok_designs. I highly recommend it.
I don't even think it goes that far. A lot of young kids go to school because they can. It's autopilot, basically no different than going middle school -> high school. Find a school that'll accept you, pick a major when they tell you to, and don't worry about the loans until after you've graduated.

I saw this first-hand -- I want to a very good school that wasn't _quite_ top-tier. My classes were full of kids who were only there because their parents had decided they should go to college, and then the parents fell in love with the school.
As long as no one uses that logo to start something associated with gaming it's likely different enough to not cause issue. It's a somewhat common style for horse iconography.
A slippery slope. Absolutely posts promoting or justifying violent acts should be blocked - at least in my opinion.

However posts, in this case critical of the Israeli or Palestinian governments, that criticize actions of public figures and organizations should be protected as free speech.
I understand that feeling... I'm nearing the end of my loans and dropped $3k on one of them yesterday. I would have rather had a vacation if it's just going to vanish!

...but don't get salty because the debt won't vanish. I have no doubt that if an education loan is forgiven, it WILL affect that persons credit rating. Much like when a debt is forgiven/charged-off. Also, charge-offs are typically treated as a form of taxable income... so these people will pay one way or the other, and likely take a long-time credit rating hit.
Especially for young people right out of college who have time to repair the damage to their credit.
Hmm, I'm not sure that rule of thumb is very good. I think a better one would be "accept interfaces when you want polymorphism". Often I have a very high degree of confidence that your caller will never want to pass a different implementation, and creating the extra interface for an improbably hypothetical situation just isn't worth my time? I'm not making any statements here, just wondering out loud.
> The big piece that is missing is a language server registry so that any tool can discover, install and register locally a language service. That will come next.

According to the link:

Sounds pretty cool. It's certainly a sad state of affairs when we look at existing projects like http://editorconfig.org and see that it only really covers indentation; we programmers should be those most able to configure and improve our own tools!

I really think there's a lot of low-hanging fruit for improving the programming workflow, and I think it begins by decoupling basic functionality like this from the monolithic IDEs they've traditionally inhabited.
Why does a hypothesis need to be defined by the scientific method?

Because a thing which you believe and yet is not defined by the scientific method (or rather, empiricism) is known as "faith", a concept which you and the rest of this thread has spent a good deal of energy attacking.

The typical new graduate owes less than $40,000.

The great majority of student debt holders owe less than $30,000.

I'd like to see more direct funding for schools and a shift of federal support to competitive grants, but those aren't huge numbers when you look at a degree bringing in hundreds of thousands of extra dollars over a career.

Grants aren't as egalitarian as giving anyone who wants it a loan, but they can be expected to distort the market less (because schools have to compete for people who don't get them).
The inability to be certain comes from the fact that we always can ask arbitrarily complex questions about the subject matter. To prevent the halting problem, you must prevent complex questions.

Because there will always be statements that are true which the original system is oblivious to, and thus the corresponding questions will be outside its scope (incompleteness theorem).

I don't think it's about the money, it's more of a matter of capability and simply "caring". Regarding the latter: it seems that Apple has managed to build an organization where everyone knows that details matter and everyone identifies with their work.

Here's a wonderful example: two SMS, one from google and one from Deutsche Bank (who, at the time, probably had enough money to care about details) https://twitter.com/salzprojekt/status/707303168703602688

Both SMS have the same purpose: sending me a single-use login token. But only google thought enough about it to change the sentence structure so as to make the code visible without unlocking the phone.
As a college graduate, I'd be ok with student loan relief as long as it's funded by a tax on college graduates (and it has to be preceded by something preventing this occurring in the future, like making student loan debt dischargeable under certain circumstances)

Seems twisted to tax the rest of the country who decided not to or weren't able to participate in college in the first place
I wish we could switch to a system like Australia. Graduates take on no debt but have to pay a few extra percentage points of taxes after.
Ubiquitous surveillance record makes it easier to discern the facts of an event. It makes it less likely that the innocent will be put behind bars (relative to the alternative solutions of faulty witness memory and after-the-fact narrative construction).

That might be true IF the "ubiquitous surveillance record" was gathered, maintained, and monitored by a truly neutral party. But it's not. It's maintained by the State, who are your adversary if you are charged with a crime (and possibly at other times, but that's a different topic). Anyway, if the State owns the surveillance and they decide to target you, do you expect that - as a defendant - you will be given full and unfettered access to an unaltered record of events? History suggests that this is not the case.

Thereby naturally solving the problem. Schools won't be able to raise their prices to pay for non academic garbage like stadiums and fancy buildings, they won't have to compete with other schools accepting as many kids as possible to make as much money as possible to keep up with the Joneses with their newest toys.

Situation: Government guarantees student loans and forbids issuing of loans based on likelihood they'll be bad back.

Problem: Schools charge max loan value. Students can't pay them back.

Solution: Give away free money.

All the government has to do is nothing. Just stop doing things. Stop being involved. The problem will fix itself overnight if they did literally nothing.

Le sigh.
They should probably make general core classes free, but make students pay for anything specialized and solely related to their major. This would strike a balance between having an educated population, and having education focus on subjects that are in-demand and beneficial to society.

> That ignores risk and also financial burden.

Not having an emergency fund is about the riskiest thing you can do.

> If you owe $2k every month to NelNet or another institution, it's much harder emotionally and financially to quit your job to travel the world or start your own company.

The emergency fund helps with that. When built up, it should cover 6-12 months of zero income. Amassing it first means losing a job doesn't mean deferring payments on the student loans and winding up with years more payments to make as a result.

> We had Federal Loans and the interest rate was still 6.5%

One of my wife's student loans is at 2.5%. At 6.5%, it's not below inflation and paying it off makes more sense.

Your premise would make sense if LDAP replication were expensive, but it isn't. LDAP database modifications are relatively rare: you only make them when a new user is added; a user's credentials change; or a user is deleted (which should be never for various post-termination accounting reasons). Even at Facebook, the change rate should be relatively low.

Also you're making an assumption about the need for consistency, when as a practical matter there's rarely a need for it. Caching is effective and practical for this use case and you'd have to make a very strong case that it should be thrown out.

Finally, it is my experience that people grossly misjudge the difficulty of securely and scalably running a CA. Most such comments come from those who have never actually operated one.
