it's not just one thing. here's like 5 different factors that all result in tuition increases

1. state budgets for universities are cut for political reasons not having much of anything to do with the university itself. budget shortfalls must be made up from other sources, primarily from tuition increases.

2. increased student enrollment due to increasing economic and social pressure for people to get a college degree. more students requires more facilities and more staff, which requires more funding.

3. natural aging of physical plant of university facilities, combined with other long-term maintenance costs (pensions, for example) that have historically been underfunded and now need more funding.

4. a price spiral relationship between availability of student lending and tuition costs. tuition costs increase so student lending amounts increase so tuition costs increase etc.

5. real actual greed. this isn't universally true but it can't be dismissed. some universities will just raise tuition simply because they can.
You're very sure for someone who doesn't appear to have done much research on the subject.

The problem is that the fat cat banker is the federal government in this case. They write the rules, they make the profits. And they do not give a shit about students, the economy, or anyone else because the government is a separate entity. By the people, for the people is just a nice saying but not one that exists in reality.
While the author does quote the very low odds of success, I think he does readers a disservice by minimizing that risk. Very few people have the right disposition, the right partners, the right idea, and the right skill set to launch a startup. Being a freshly minted PhD doesn't change that. Failing at a startup sucks, and sucks really hard. But of course, its not in a VC's interest to tell you the pain that comes with a startup.

Better advice: if you want to do a startups, get some experience, find some good partners, test out ideas in your own time, and when you have enough runway and something that looks solid, only THEN make the leap.

You should carefully read his definition of "polarization". It has an exact meaning that is objectively measurable: it's how often individual politicians vote against the majority vote of their party. It does not refer to the amount of animosity between the parties or the extremeness of their positions. Part of his thesis is that these two measurements are now moving together, and were not necessarily doing so before.
I guess I see your point, but I disagree. Part of sticking up for yourself is willing to risk these things. The bully's advantage is that he is willing to break the rules and you aren't. So you have to break the rules and risk some of these things that may happen. Maybe just draw the line at snapping the kids arm and you'll be safe.

> A mode of thought I would expect in socialist countries, not the US...

what does socialism have to do with this? maybe you meant to say "a mode of thought I would expect in totalitarian police states..."

it's true that some totalitarian police states have, nominally if not really in practice, also been socialist. however, there have been just as many fascist, capitalist, monarchist, and theocratic totalitarian police states as well.

so I ask again...what does socialism have to do with this?

In the US, most committees won't even let you schedule a defense unless they are prepared to pass you. What usually happens is the "all but dissertation" (ABD) route where one is writing in perpetuity or leaves the program without finishing.

In any case, why do you feel compelled to justify how much (harder?, richer?) your chosen path has been than a categorically different alternative path which you admittedly have no experience with? Please, at least rise above the level of posting misinformation.

Yes, indeed. If your app actually depends on dynamically-loaded information before it can continue, then of course your app needs to block further evaluation. Top-level await simply allows you to express that without placing the rest of your app inside async functions.

Reduces in the sense that using dnscrypt simply increases the number of third parties that can see what you're doing. I think that is valid.
I'm just looking for an accurate symbol table to be exported in something like ctags format for code navigation. I've seen tools that capture somewhere between about 1% and 9% of large projects. [1]

I know it's a hard problem that can't be solved with static analysis like in C, indeed! I know people could do

var x = "do", y = "something", z[x + y] = function() {};
...
z[x + y] = (some other function now)

Contextual reassignments, various forms of composability, yep!

This thing is still important. The goal is to reduce the "Wtf is going on here" phase of diving into existing code. I have had to honestly abandon projects and back out of jobs with good friends because I couldn't get to that answer fast enough.

You can do so many cryptic layered indirect things with javascript, it makes unraveling it really quite hard - especially if there's a language barrier (as there was in the one I'm thinking of where I had to resign after 6 weeks in shame for a guy I had worked with for 2 years on a previous company).

I tried to build this claimed introspection tool myself in vain over the course of about 2 weeks, but diminishing returns hit and things got pretty hard. Javascript can be beautiful and simple - but it can also have cascading chains of action-at-a-distance with layers of framework scaffolding obscuring the business logic code so that the caller and the callee are not 1 frame, but 10 or 15 frames apart. [2]

My campaign to encourage people to write code in the plain in a way that hopefully any future junior developer will understand is a lifetime project.

Until I get there, tools like this would be truly invaluable. Back in the C/C++ days, it saved my butt daily.

[1] Excuse me for not finger pointing to specific projects. I don't find it courteous or productive. I aggressively surveyed [probably] all of them, including those offered by IDEs, in 2015.

[2] This leads to two easier tools which are

(1) the "stack and step collapser" - essentially a way to tell the debugger to ignore entire directories of code when stepping through code or printing stackdumps. Having to go through stack traces that can be literally over 100 levels with only 1 or 2 being your code is certainly a system we can improve on.

(2) a stack of stacks ... so that if an error is caught, the stack isn't smashed and replaced, but preserved in a second dimensional stack so when an error is just "some error occurred in these 1,000 lines" you can still see the previous stack.

I've often just seen stack dumps be the frameworks error handler (or the error handler erroring) and have no indication as to the actual source of the error. It's crazy how useless it can be. A stack of stacks would solve this (again, as would not coding silly things like this in the first place).

I can't imagine I'm the only person who has to deal with these problems on a daily basis. They waste so much time and leave me so flabbergasted as to how to address problems sometimes.

I have this theory that autonomous vehicles will enable a resurgence of the suburb. If I can disengage from the transporting myself into being transported, I can spend that travel time working instead of navigating. If I lived an hour away from work but I could spend 2 hours working via my car, I'd have no problem moving to the suburbs. But as it stands right now, the commute is the part that really freaks me out.

I strongly agree with that in general, I just think it might be enforced differently. For example, you lose social security benefits if you do heroine, but heroine isn't illegal.

In the case of children I agree for like polio, but perhaps not flu. Either way it's hard to judge and the major point of libertarians is that the state should decide. For example, a west Nile vaccine makes sense for almost everywhere. Besides the bay area which has no mosquitos.

I'm sure Gary Johnson would agree to some extent, and he has already changed his mind when presented with evidence.

Since the announcement of GraphQL I've been waiting for some 'real world' apis. (Sure the Star Wars GraphQL apis are fun)

Does anyone know any best practices if you want to adopt this is in an existing application using a relation database (i.e. PostgreSQL). I don't know how to implement this without causing N+1 queries. (or Worse).

For example:

content,
Author {

avatar,
},

Comments(first:10) {

}
}
}

A naive implementation would cause a lot of query, for each "edge" a query.
I've seen them on HN on more than one occasion.

I once dared to make the comment that one day a Tesla battery pack would catch fire or explode and out of the woods they came with their pitchforks and downvotes explaining in length like why it can never happen and how safe are 18650's and the Tesla power bank, and the car, and how smooth Elon Musk's skin is.

About 3 weeks later just that thing happened, a Tesla caught fire due to the power pack malfunctioning, since then there were 2-3 more similar cases.

There are Tesla and more Elon Musk in general fanboys out there.

And I don't really understand why you are taking offense, no one made those claims here, no one even argued that there are no advantages to the Tesla.
However those advantages come at a cost, a Model 3 won't be a 30,000 car, it would be close to it after the rebate, you will have to pay extra for luxuries, as well as potentially access to the supercharger network.

And I'm not sure about the rest of your arguments, profitability is in question here, it's doubtful that the Model 3 will be as profitable, infact it won't be by design, the question would then be how many Model S/X's Tesla can sale because that would be the limiting factor in it's ability actually ship Model 3's as those partially fund it.

As for the brand strength, the brand is considerably more limited than what you think, sure on HN and in a few other circles it has a huge presence but if you think that in the middle of nowhere America, or the rest of the world Tesla has a brand presence you are going to be disappointed, most people do not know what Tesla is.
If you ask the average person to name car companies Tesla is about as likely to be named as Alpina, heck i would be that more people are aware of Aplina world wide than Tesla.
It is a problem in HTML, actually, e.g. `<div hidden><img src="foo.png"></div>`. Per spec that fetch should not happen until the div becomes un-hidden. (Which is only determinable at runtime, since you can override the UA stylesheet for div[hidden].) But browsers make the intelligent tradeoff that the image is likely to be used, by doing a low-priority fetch for foo.png.

There are plenty of examples in NYC of forcing the developer to build infrastructure in order to get more building rights. In the suburbs developers are often required to build the underlying infrastructure for their subdivisions.

It's simple math. If the cost of building the development + required infrastructure is less than the price can sell it for then things will get built. It's the responsibility of the city to bundle the infrastructure requirements onto the building permit.
> Downtown high-rise condos are always way more costly than the equivalent size condo 20 miles out.

Because more people want to live there. The solution to high prices is to build more of the type of housing that people want to live in; not to build more of the type of housing that is already in low demand.

Bullshit!

Look at the zoning codes for most cities. This is one of the most regulated markets in the US!

Minimum setbacks, heights, parking minimums, lot sizes, allowed uses - the list goes on and on, and is extremely prescriptive and detailed.

For instance, here in Bend Oregon, you can look through the city code for parking minimums:

"Beauty parlor and Barber shop: 3 spaces for each of the first 2 beauty or barber chairs, and 1½ spaces for each additional chair"

And this is pretty typical in the US.

Edit: I'll add that I am not a libertarian "markets solve all problems" kind of guy, but housing/land use is absolutely something where I think we could use more markets. I highly recommend these books:

As well as this site: http://marketurbanism.com/ (some of those guys are pretty hard core libertarian, but I guess we can agree to disagree on many things and concentrate on markets and urbanism).

well, three categories which we can blame government intervention for spiraling costs.

1) setting so many requirements while still upholding rules preventing competition across state lines. formulating laws so the costs are passed onto those who pay the insurance bills

2. making loans with out determining worthiness of the student or schools.

3. preventing new housing being built to protect a valued voter and donation base.
I think it was more the open letter to Github, which motivated both Github and GitLab (seen as an opportunity to compete).

GitLab's roadmap yesterday surely didn't motivate or spawn the "New GitHub Universe," and I wouldn't think that Github is very nervous about GitLab currently due to it's massive lead in the market. Maybe this new round of funding made some of the folks at Github look over at Gitlab, but I doubt too much else.

>Self-trust seems like a problem on paper, but the reality is that normal mathematics uses very few universes.

Self-trust (broadly construed) is interesting to me because it seems relevant to designing goal-based agents that are "stable", in the sense that they trust that future versions of themselves will have accurate beliefs (and therefore don't have an incentive to mess around with their systems for forming beliefs). If we try to formalize this intuition with "beliefs" as theorems proven by a formal system, we run into reflection problems; having your theorem prover assert that it will keep outputting only true statements feels awfully close to asserting its own soundness. So even if your agent can perform all the usual mathematical reasoning it needs, it still can't do all the useful reasoning about itself (it would need another large cardinal... and then another...).

The self-trust property in the paper says that it's possible to "learn from experience" that your future self is probably going to have pretty good beliefs. Specifically, a logical inductor P_n learns (roughly speaking) that "if P_f(n) thinks Phi is likely, then Phi is likely", where f(n) can be a fast-growing computable function. That is, on day n, P_n believes a sort of "probabilistic soundness" condition for its future self P_f(n). This is weaker than full soundness in at least two ways, but it is fully "reflective" in the sense that P believes this of itself.
