Let's unpack this. If this is done at the Federal level, ala the Interstate Highway system, it would never work. Wireless infrastructure is still incredibly immature compared to road technology. And the idea that the government would be able to spend the amount of money required to keep up to provide the same or better service than the private sector has never been proven, and IMHO unlikely. Look at how NASA has been run the last 30 years, and how it's been spending its money on their current launch system.

The problem is that the capital expenses are high in this industry, so the players naturally want to recoup their costs and focus on profits. Eventually technology will shift, demand will rise, and one of the telcos will take the plunge in an attempt to gain marketshare. Their competitors will react, and for a while it'll be golden for the users. Then the cycle will repeat.

Terrible teachers making difficult subjects impossible for students.

It's the same experience for my kids that I recall from my time. Industry can pay more, and outside the rare person who has come to teaching to give back, the instructors are those who can't.

Even when I was at Cal Poly, the only instructors in eng/sci who I recall being helpful were those from JPI that would come in and teach a class or two. One taught us three classes worth of material in course when he realized how much we had missed from our previous instructors.

I think what you say is basically equivalent - technology has no inherent purpose in it besides the one we give to it; that purpose itself is a feature of the human user, not the feature of any given technology (i.e. it doesn't "stick" to an object).

Personally, I see technology as the way to extend the power of our (individual and collective) will to make something happen.

Yes, PGP is around. Has been for decades.

1. It's not supported by default on any major email application.

2. It plays very poorly with the dominant email platform of the day: Webmail.

3. Inputting passwords / passphrases on mobile devices is beyond cumbersome.

4. There's a chicken-egg problem: people won't use it because others aren't using it.

5. There remain problems with systems that break PGP -- either encrypted or signed messages.

6. PGP doesn't address the metadata problem -- you can still see who's emailling whom, when, and message subjects.

Email has some very big problems.

(I've been using PGP/GPG for two decades myself.)
A nice (if long-winded) reminder that things aren't black and white. But what is a person supposed to do with a list of complex, nuanced facts? That's why we talk about things, right? To make sense of them? Isn't that's why we invent simple (sometimes overly simple) ideas? Nobody can hold all the complexities of the world in their head at once. Our black and white ideas serve an important purpose, even when they don't describe reality exactly as it is.

The problem with the "elastic demand model" (or the "sell, don't deliver" model) is that it's not working out in the marketplace.

ISPs, instead of expanding network capacity when they lose their side of the "elastic demand" bet, throttle companies like Netflix or extort them into financing their lacking capacity.
I see no called-out connection between anything in the article and the gif at the top of it. It's a good gif to go along with the article, but I don't think we can say "he threw the tablet in this image because he was angry with it".

Edit: this comment is at -2 at the moment. If I'm wrong, please make the connection. I earlier pointed out that coaches are often emotional^1, and we have no idea if him throwing the tablet is related to him being angry at it, or even if it's a recent image.

> technology can manifest as a tool (to amplify human potential) or a machine (to replace human labour).

I don't see a material distinction in here. A machine is simply a more effective tool - effective enough to do the work mostly by itself. The "replace human labour" part is a consequence of the economic systems we have.
I completely understand your feelings as I'm in a similar situation these days. I'm from India and I've got 8.5 years of experience in consumer and SaaS startups + another 3 years as a freelancer prior to that. During 2005-2009, I used to get a lot of freelancing jobs, but as you mentioned, decent paying freelance work is hard to find these days.

I've been without a job for a week and don't want to take up another job right now. I just want to make $2.5K so that I can work on my own SaaS idea. I'm a PHP dev like you but I've also worked a lot on frontend (Angular, React/Redux, Backbone).

I've tried AngelList, Hackernews and pretty much all other sites mentioned on HN with very little success. If you are good at PHP/Laravel, you can probably try larajobs.com. Good Luck.
I agree that the appeal of MGTOW is that it recognizes that men's lives have value independent of whether society approves of their level of sexual/romantic success, and that it has as a stated goal helping men live that reality.

I think that spending time on, for instance, the MGTOW subreddit doesn't in actuality make progress toward that goal. It focuses very heavily on how women/feminism/society/whatever victimizes men. Victimization mindsets foster an external sense of locus of control instead of an internal one, which holds people back.

I just recently went through an RSI flare-up and had to do something urgently, so here's what I did. I immediately went and bought a replacement mouse, with a trackball. Because it was my right hand/wrist that was experiencing the worst of it, I switched my mouse from the right side of the keyboard to the left. This has changed up my usual right-hand grasping/squeezing/clicking motions, and now the flare-up has died down considerably. The other thing I did was to get a split keyboard similar to the one you bought.

Ergonomics are extremely important for our profession (obviously). Examine how your elbows are situated in relation to the keyboard. If you're sitting at a desk, be sure to have a keyboard tray underneath the desk so that when your elbows are at a 90-degree angle, the keyboard is underneath your fingers and your wrists are straight and not bent. If you know anyone who plays piano regularly, ask them to show you their positions and posture, and try to replicate that at your desk. HTH
Coaches are extremely limited in what they are allowed to do with electronic communication on the sideline. They use the tablets exclusively for viewing aerial images from the last drive.

"The tablets only allow access to a Sideline Viewing System app that provides the photos of recent plays."

http://www.geekwire.com/2014/heres-nfl-players-coaches-use-m...

The NFL used to print out these photos and coaches would go over them on the sidelines. The Surface is supposed to be much faster for this and allow for some other functionality. Usually the offensive coach and his starters are looking at the images while the defense is on the field and vice versa.

The NFL does not allow coaches to use laptops to perform this kind of data analysis live during games.

>aggression, control, and exaggerated masculinity in PUA

I don't think this is a fair characterization for what a lot of people refer to as "the PUA community". Accurate words would be confidence, independence, and leadership. Some people choose to view these attitudes as controlling/aggressive because when comparing these actions to themselves, it erodes their own confidence or self esteem. But that's their problem and they're trying to blame someone else for it.
Anecdotally, I've been incredibly disappointed in LTE speeds for NYC lately. It's almost a joke how slow LTE is. Browsing the web feels like using ancient DSL.

It seems like he's also making some similarly unkind statements about therapy in the story. Most of the character's issues seem to derive from her being given all these dimensions to constantly measure herself on (being a narcissist helps to amplify the effect here of course), so that she can't just be natural with others—and yet she has also been given all these goals by her therapist which presumably would just happen organically by interacting with others, if she didn't always have this agenda of being maximally empathetic and non-toxic etc. And then there are the issues she's dealing with in therapy explicitly stated to derive from therapy in the story.
Most universities aren't primarily focused on research.[1] They are there to educate students. Research does occur at every university, but looking at their research budget as a fraction of their whole budget will show what sort of institution it is.

Even if you subtract the research budget out first you will still arrive at a figure less than 50% for most universities.

Given overpopulation, maybe China had it almost right. Have as many kids as you want, but only let N survive to adulthood? "Play" weeds them out? Die having fun, better than starvation, better than never to have existed?

(Granted how well you do on mile-high monkey bars doesn't predict your usefulness in subsiding global warming, but something along these lines. Perhaps it's time to start the conversation.)

(Granted why should "continuing some random genetic code" be considered "pragmatic" for anything but "continuing some random genetic code"?)

Maybe it's time for a change of Weltanschauung. Instead of having two kids and protecting the hell out of them, have a hundred kids and decide the two you want to keep. Wouldn't this be far more proactive than assuming the two fastest sperm (yours or your partner's) are a-priori the most useful kids you'll ever have?

I guess retroactively in a world of finite resources this is going to happen anyway.
Yeah, I get the same feeling.

Some footnotes are chapters in themselves (or have their own footnotes), and I couldn't shake the feeling that the confusion I felt upon realizing that I had still been in 'footnote territory' was entirely intentional, similar to his run-on sentences that have a very specific effect. I rather liked how reading an ebook version made it even easier to forget I was reading footnotes.

Also, one of my favorite jokes wouldn't work if he'd put the footnotes at the bottom of the pages.

It's Lato Light (Lato @ font-weight: 300) at full #000, it's not a particularly obscure choice I think. I've checked the rendering on anything-but-retina monitors (27" at 1920x1080) but it looked fine to me.

Unfortunately, font rendering is still a bit of a crapshoot, it differs from OS to OS and even varies wildly between Linux distros (which may or may not use potentially non-free freetype functionality).

In the end, I hope it's manageable. We're open to redesign offers though =).

1. Get a standing desk. Set so that your elbows make a 90 degree bend when typing.
2. The sculpt should be an improvement. I prefer the the Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 (http://compass.microsoft.com/assets/b1/12/b112ddfc-0541-4948...)
3. Switch to you other hand for mouse usage for a while. Takes a week or two to get used to but once you do you can switch back and forth easily.
4. Hit the gym
5. Never type directly on laptops.
6. Make sure you hands are never tilted back when typing. That will cause more irritation than anything. That is why I prefer the keyboard I linked above. It has a riser for the palm rest.
Remote jobs has been one of the most requested filters from the feedback we've gotten, so we're definitely looking into that. Salaries are harder (since we gather jobs directly from company websites and salaries are rarely listed), but in the future the hope would be to use the salary data we do have to at least suggest what salaries are for comparable jobs.

My tactic has been to read a challenge book (IJ, currently The Pale King) and then have a few easy reads to go along with it (Millennium/Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Trilogy, currently Fahrenheit 451).

> another guy didn't even take the AP exam, and another guy just put his head down on the desk during the AP exam.

I don't know anything about these people but there's two "good" reasons for this:

* Some colleges don't take certain AP credits e.g. the college I went to didn't take AP Bio credit, so I didn't take the exam for it when I took the class

* Some high schools give GPA boosts for AP classes. For example, an A in an AP class was worth a 5.0 vs a 4.0 in a regular class. Some students may think it's worth it even if they don't do that well

In general I agree with you because my AP Calc class wasn't rigorous or interesting at all. It was "here's how you do X, now do X 100 times for homework and take a test on it".

> A lot of the students in my AP Calculus class had no business being there

Maybe I'm cynical but this was the case at my college Calculus class as well. The entire back row was basically people cheating. There'll always be lazy people in freshman and sophomore courses.
Love this guy. Am this guy. Want to be this guy's friend. Want my kids to be friends with this guy's kids.

I wish there were more people like this because just like him, I am an outlier where I live. My kids don't want supervision, and I don't want to constantly supervise them. I will offer them endless amounts of advice if they want/need it, feed them, clothe them, keep a roof over their heads, love them, but I want my kids to be kids and spend time discovering themselves. I fully approve of his parenting style and tactics. I am with him.

Kudos, truly!
The end result, more often than not, is 10%. At this point, it has nothing to do with industrial guaranteed service levels, it's marketing X and delivering Y<<X.

I've worked at gaming companies, and although I never worked on the games themselves (more the backend, console, etc), I would suggest just writing some games yourself!

There's a lot of aspects to game development, including gameplay, art, storyline, and many of those aren't technical. If you do get into a technical problem that can't be easily solved, cheat! Many games have an addictive mechanic that comes from a hard technical problem you want the player to solve.

There are some frameworks for writing games, and you can get familiar with whatever you think will solve the problem.

Also, just apply to a game company! They need web people too, and it's easier to use your skills to get your foot in the door, then you can learn from the inside.

pdpi for the win. (And ambiguous phrasing for the loss)
As a millennial male, I have changed from being a man who grew up wanting a family life, kids and a happy family to a lone-wolf don't-give-a-fuck man in a span of just 2 years

Basically, I changed from being "Dad material" to "A guy who has fun all the time". I just don't have the motivation to be with women for anything besides fun and harmless dating.

Why did this happen? How did this happen?

- I studied/worked hard all my life to be able to provide for "future family"

- Realized women my age just want to have a bit of fun instead of a good guy with head straight. They would literally go for guys who had a bad track record with relationships, just because they "felt" something with them. Relationship was just feelings for them. Marriage unfortunately isn't just feelings.

- Also, most women with all their scholarships and opportunities really don't plan for a future life. I am not taking that burden on me. Why should I?

- Realized that I don't owe women anything....especially not to women who just want to have fun and select for guys who just party and have fun

- Understood the double standards women impose on dating very well. Women want to have fun in their youth, date the hottest guys, explore their life and when they got old, end up in the arms of a great stable person....essentially, they want to do whatever they want, whenever they want.

Well, so do I.

I still want to be a father. But not with the women out there. Maybe I should check out the MGTOW community.

I understand that - I don't disagree that the risk of serious issues is overestimated. My point was more that sending your child outside to play is a routine decision with many more possible outcomes than a plane crash.

Sending them out unsupervised exposes them to the possibility that they could get lost, they could get hurt, they could get bullied, or they could be a victim of a serious crime. Of course they could also have a great time which is why parents do it despite the (minimal) risks.

If something bad happened to your child, plenty of parents would question their decision and that experience would likely influence their future decisions. There is a reason we have fences around pools, marked locations to cross busy roads, teach kids not to chase a ball out onto a road etc - they are situations that children encounter on a routine basis. Being involved in a plane crash as an unsupervised minor is far less likely to happen and probably has fewer possible outcomes.
