I don't think he can give citations or evidence. He gets told some stuff in confidence. He can violate the confidence, and not be told stuff in the future. Or he can say nothing. Or he can tell us as much as he feels he can, even though that's annoyingly vague and unspecific. As far as I can see, those are his only options.

On this topic, he chose the third option, because he felt that people needed to know, even though he couldn't give specifics. It sounds like you wanted him to pick the first option. If he did, though, it would be the last time he would be able to do so, because his information would dry up.

That's the pragmatic argument. There are also some of us who feel, when you tell someone that you aren't going to blab what they told you in confidence, that you should keep your word...

The point is that we cannot prove there is no creator by creating life. There is still a creator involved.

The 'best result' (assuming we're itching to disprove God) would be to show an origin of life is plausible. But even that doesn't prove where life on Earth actually came from.
Ask HN: Has anyone ever crawled over a billion pages? How much did it cost?

Yes, we should. The average college freshman is 18 years old.

If you're old enough to drive a car, join the army, or be charged as an adult, you're old enough to realize that paying tens of thousands of dollars for a degree in musical theater isn't a great idea.

It's not rocket science. There are tons of resources online to help you figure out which degrees and schools are good value.
The intel CPUs have pretty good thermal management. I suspect what will happen is the CPU will just start throttling itself to cool down if you kept making the OS spin down the fans.

Even back in the P4 days there were videos of people ripping Heat sinks off intel chips while running and the system throttling down and speeding back up as the heat sink is replaced.

I'd also argue that, while I see your point about less tax revenue, military spending seems to march to the beat of it's own drum regardless of US's coffers. I don't know if that's sustainable to be that decoupled, but it seems like it is right now.

The primary business purpose of Evernote is, indeed, selling data storage and access. The price tiers are based, in part, on max upload and max amount of notes.
Sure, every online property is a place for ads. However, in this case content producers don't have to say "Subscribe to my YouTube channel for new videos. Oh, and if you want updates follow me on Twitter. I also share pictures on Instagram. And if you're looking for upcoming events, check out Facebook...".

Not like anyone who is already doing that is going to stop, but Google is hoping that maybe there will be a shift towards doing it all in one place, particularly if video is their primary medium.
LOL, seems that a big part of your users is searching for adult related things.

So if you filter out all the adult stuff you might make those users unhappy. Perhaps make it configurable?

Eg. add a checkbox for NSFW results or something better.

Except some restaurants choose to include it anyway (especially for large parties).

And if you don't tip then employees at that establishment may not meet federal minimum wage. While businesses are supposed to make up the difference, in practice they don't. So there is considerable social pressure to tip because of this situation, and because many of us have worked in the restaurant business and appreciate how hard it is or know someone who has struggled there.

There is no such social obligation or shared experience when it comes to web content authoring and site maintenance.

Everyone I know who makes web content is doing it for free or even paying for hosting because they are pursuing it as a hobby. They all make money in other industries. Or they do web development in a traditional business for internal consumption and are on salary.

So blocking ads is natural to us all. We can't imagine the motivations of people making web content, freely viewable, with the expectation that they will be paid by ad revenue at some later time.

I don't know who these people are, but if they banded together and maybe formed a union or released a documentary, they could get the rest of us to start a conversation to move the status quo.

In the meantime I'll continue posting to sites like this for free without expectation of compensation for my time, and donating money to the running of sites I value if that option is made available to me.

Good riddance! Deploying Openstack Swift was a nightmare in my personal experience. A few outages and I decided I'll never work a job supporting it again.

If a recruiter mentions "Openstack" to me what I hear is a shamble mess of a services with components you'll be on-call for which will break in unique ways. Oh and of course you're expected to maintain the entire infrastructure while you do your normal job.

The problem with the jobs you're listing is that they are tied to the individual's physical health and capability. A 50 year old guy can sit at a desk and work, but many 50 year olds don't want to go fixing roofs.
Sure they can run a business and hire other plumbers/roofers, but then they are doing desk job again.
That works for you, but on the subject of security, tptacek is on a different level than most of the rest of us. It's perfectly valid for him to say that he wants to see Schneier's references, and for you to say that you will take it on trust from either of them.

> Also, the point I was making is that if he wants to leave work uncited, it should at least be the work he has actual credibility in.

A totally valid point. Way too often, people smuggle credibility from an area where they have expertise (and therefore deserve the credibility) to areas where they don't. In this case, though, the real credibility is Schneier's honesty, not his expertise, since he's passing on (obscured) reports from others.

Check out this simple vacuum sealer: http://www.pump-n-seal.com/

No affiliation, I've just been using this device for years. It's basically a simple bike pump in reverse. Put your coffee in a mason jar, give it a few good pumps, and you have delicious crema for weeks and weeks. Every time you pop the top the aroma is like you're opening a fresh bag.

One of those things that you're surprised most coffee shops and connoisseurs don't use religiously as it makes such a huge difference.

If there's a logo there that you like, the upward-racheting price adds urgency and drives a 'need to pounce' lest a) it disappear, and b) the price increase.

The author is pouring gasoline onto the impulse-buying fire.

At the long end, there are plenty of people who might pay a premium for a logo from someone whose logos are so good that they sold 48 of them in a day....

The author/artist is clever.
Would tuition also follow by being more affordable? The government guarantees loans for everybody so institutions jack up their fees accordingly it seems.
So did all this free-flowing money actually result in more college grads, or did it just allow the colleges to jack up their prices due to supply/demand? How supply constrained is the market?

If iron seeding works and causes no calamity we can't handle, we'd be derned fools not to do it at some point, assuming we need to of course.

Then again, what is the preferred equilibrium for the planet and how do we know that? There wasn't always widespread environmentalism and I've heard the idea that environmentalism in its present form emerged only after computers became more widespread ( from "All Watched Over By Machines..." by Adam Curtis.)

Is that crackpottery or is it a salient observation? I can't even tell any more.
>I think another part of it is that even low level office jobs now require some sort of degree simply because everybody has one.

This is the key problem - education is often positional good, since not every job seeker can be better educated than the others.

>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.

Better is to make asking about and providing your college background illegal, with some exceptions for doctors/lawyers/engineers/etc.

Filing a false, bad-faith DMCA claim is technically an act of perjury, but I've never heard of anyone convicted or even seriously threatened with this action since it is almost impossible to prove bad faith.. ESPECIALLY when algorithms are automatically doing much of the damage.

In any case, I think YouTube kinda subverts much of the DMCA provisions by having their own claim system (the whole ContentID thing) which often comes into play and causes problems (for content creators, not for people making claims of dubious authenticity) before real DMCA claims are made.

The snowball idea for Google was "download the web, keeping only the links" [1], and from there it grew into PageRank, sorting by PageRank, sorting by PageRank with a filter for keywords, a search engine, etc. The description in the article is largely bullshit; Google search has never used a database, and PageRank predates the idea of Google as a search engine.

Hi. Can I help you burn your money?
tl;dr journalists can't pay the bills with exposure.

Because this forum values well-thought-out articles. These articles generally require a lot of time to compose. If the authors' don't have some other job, then they have to be paid for their time. In order for the company to acquire the money to pay, they need to collect money from:
1) advertisements, which for general-audience text media, aren't that valuable.

2) subscriptions, which few people will pay for if they can get the content for free.
Could I ask for a little clarification about your critique? I understand what his perspective is: socializing the cost is a moral hazard (people will make different decisions if they don't have to pay the cost of them). That's the perspective I assume GP has, as I feel similarly.

If what you are implying is that the eventual result of non-forgiveness is access to education only for the wealthy, I would disagree - there are other options, none of which are perfect that I'm aware. That said, I'm trying to figure out what reasoned argument you might be making with this statement which might be an exercise in futility.
60k a year is a good living in most of the US.
I agree with your analysis, except for some of Western Europe. In North-Western europe, Britain and Scandanavia greatly benefit from the Atlantic jet stream being fairly consistently aimed a little farther north; it gives them a warmer climate. We think that global warming has been destabilizing jet streams, and it's making weather have great variation in North America and Northern Europe. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-26023166
The demand for many of those trades largely follows the rises and falls of the housing market. I grew up with family in that industry and have seen both extremes of it. Right now, in this area, there is more demand than labor. Several years ago the opposite was true.

More details on that study here: http://jambeck.engr.uga.edu/landplasticinput (10.1126/science.1260352)

Total worldwide production of plastics looks to be about 250 million tons, and they are estimating that about 8 million tons per year make it into the oceans. From the paper, but not the gloss, is that fact that China is by far the leading offender in this, followed by Indonesia, Philippines, and Sri Lanka. India is in 10th place, and the US in 20th. Coastal Europe combined is about the same as the US.

If that's the case, I'd expect a "bootleggers and Baptists" equilibrium to form. Maybe it's happening out of sight but I certainly don't see it.

But a plank in your favor - the people who settled the regions where environmentalism has its most fertile soil are on a line of thinking from the old, rock-ribbed Congregationalist and Unitarian preachers from New England.

Companies like Crowdstrike instrument, in effect, the victims of these attacks. Think of them as a kind of antivirus software, with desktop installations across an enterprise, coupled with a C&C channel that funnels all the executables they find back to a central analysis system.

By the time something like Crowdstrike or FireEye is seeing an executable, it's already been decrypted.

It's totally possible to impersonate another hacking group, but you have to know a lot about their tradecraft to do so with any fidelity.

That's right. The Bank Of Japan is printing money to prop of the value of top companies trading on Japan's exchange. Think about the macroeconomic causes and consequences of that.
Could the NSA do this? Almost certainly.

Could they make it look like China was at fault? Also almost certainly.

Would they? Well, they'd need a good reason. What would a good reason be? To hone their attack skills? Perhaps. (I would expect - though I have no proof - that many of the American pieces of internet-critical infrastructure are more hardened against attacks than many other countries' stuff, because the American stuff gets actual attacks more often. If the NSA can attack our stuff to the point of breaking, it can probably break other countries' stuff.)

Would the NSA do it to hone peoples' defensive capabilities? To show them what a real nation-state attack might look like? Also perhaps. (Or perhaps it could even have both goals.)

Would the NSA be in very deep trouble if they ever got caught at that game? Probably. Deep enough to get them to not do it? I don't know.

TL;DR: The NSA could be doing this. I'm unsure how probable I consider that option.

Who should pay for college?

Should it be the individual receiving the education (either at present, or in the future in the form of loans), or other people? Should people who don't go to college be forced to pay for education of those who do?

Should we further tell students not to care what price colleges charge them? If we forgive debt, we're telling students to go to a school regardless of the costs, and telling schools to charge whatever they want.

We're then forcing non-college-educated plumbers to pay (through the tax system) for the engineers college education.

This seems like a terrible idea.

I also see a huge problem with lumping all education together. There are some colleges, degrees and people where college can be considered a wise investment. That is, the expected value of the degree is more than the cost. There are other times when it appears college is a consumption expense, like just buying a four year vacation or a luxury car.

When someone graduates college with the same productive capacity they had before college, but now with debt, that's sad to me. Working at $10 an hour in a coffee shop isn't that bad. Working at $10 an hour with $50k in debt is very bad. Many times people were just 18 year olds who were handed a blank check (loan) for college, and didn't know better. But there was no checks or balances on this ignorant 18 year old, as the lenders dont care that the student was not increasing their productive capacity.

What we need is a system with no lender guarantees, with potential for percent of income repayment (earning equity), and have it be unsecured like other forms of debt. This will make lenders function properly, and only give loans to those who it believes are improving their human potential at college- and for whom college isn't the equivalent as buying a $100k luxury car.

This is a good way to kickstart a social network - integrate it deeply into a product that already has a very well established userbase.

As other commenters pointed out, this is infinitely more likely to stick than Google Plus. I've personally never felt that Google was serious about Google+. If they had been, they'd have gone for an approach like this one from the start. For instance, integrate it natively to Gmail (and of course make it individually accessible on its own domain) - it worked for Hangouts adoption.

Make it a new tab in Gmail, make it very fast and easy to switch between your email and your social feed. Many people already spend many hours in gmail, or have a tab always open anyway. Adoption would have been instant, and if they had done that in 2011, maybe it would have had a shot at dethroning Facebook.

Come on now:

"Sold as is-where is-no disclosures available-Seller has had no knowledge of property-no representations made as to a warranty-habitability,marketability.express or implied."

I guarantee you that the seller _DOES_ have a knowledge of the property, and that's why it's only $19,500.

And in real estate, where flowery language is the name of the game, the above is coded language for: "Bulldoze it and build" (come on, "no guarantee of habitability"?)

Likewise, your place in PA - did you look at the photos? There are entire exterior walls covered with (torn) Tyvek and tarps. There are unfinished walls, roofs and floors.

If the public benefits of a physics degree exceed those of a women's studies degree then the former should be subsidized but not the latter? What if the former's benefit exceeds the latter's benefit by an epsilon amount? By your reasoning only the most beneficial degree should be subsidized but not any others. Perhaps you typed in haste and did not mean what you wrote in a strict sense.

I don't believe one can really quantize which degree has more public benefits. Some benefits are hidden, in the sense that their benefit isn't so readily recognizable. The benefits of an educated populace are manifest and, I believe, clearly worth the expense of public financial support.
