A lot of the students enrolled hoping to get a job later.

The scam aside, this goes to show that too many people still believe in the old system: learn skill in school -> get job. Especially that one student who lamented now he can't prove he completed the lessons from this bootcamp. Would a no name bootcamp impress any employer?

Learning in a classroom (or via Slack chats!) is not enough. It's just the first step. The key is applying it as soon as possible by doing projects, for yourself or for someone else. For free in the beginning if need be.
Employers now want to see proof you can do something, not a piece of paper showing you can. Plus publishing these projects online can help employers / recruiters discover you.

Too many parents are still teaching their kids a paint by the numbers formula they knew for life: go to school -> land job. Work there -> rise through the ranks. The good news is, there's a hundred different ways to land a job now. The bad news is, trying, failing at, trying again at those different ways can be hard.

The advantage is you can get at both ends, and add remove length at will, plus you avoid having excessive tension. Downside is you can't really throw long cables and have them unwind which can be really useful.

> Note that the strongest relationship found for number of children people have is the inverse correlation with wealth.

That is incorrect and is an often-repeated myth. There's an inverse correlation with education, not wealth. To my knowledge, there have been no good studies for the western societies that isolate education from wealth for total fertility rates.

http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/282/1806/2015...

From results: educational capital and market integration are generally negatively associated with fertility, whereas farming and non-farming wealth are generally positively associated with fertility.

Here's another one: http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1162/REST_a_00257

For the cross-section of non-Hispanic white married couples in the United States, we show that when we restrict comparisons to similarly educated women living in similarly expensive locations, completed fertility is positively correlated with the husband's income. The empirical evidence is consistent with children being “normal.”

Hmmm....

Regardless of how many kids are had, families will optimize to maximize the total economic spending on their offspring, so lowering fertility comes at the cost of growth of total ecological impact of the fewer kids.
Not sure how common it is here or anywhere else based off these comments. That's the point. We now have 3 people saying they've got flexible jobs in 3 different countries. It doesn't generalize to 'everyone/most in those respective countries' from that alone. And country-pride or whatever isn't enough to sway me, sorry.

I know a number of people here that have more flexibility in their jobs than the Sweden job as described. Did I say 'generically, US is better' or anything like that? No, because maybe it's not true. Maybe you two are right.
Don't quote me on this since I don't remember why I believe it, but I think it's part of the legally mandated design requirements for the US interstate system.
This isn't sufficient unless you consciously error-check and goto-trap every single failure point in your code. Which you might do. But you'd be the literal one percent. If not the literal one permille.
I'm waiting for Amazon to spin off its still-reliable store for physical books as a separate premium brand. (Although the only reason there's not much fraud there is that bookselling doesn't pay very well in the first place.)
Just because they let you do it doesn't mean they want you to do it. Consent is not about whether or not you can get away with it. It's about ensuring that the other person also wants it.
I didn't try a CC chargeback. However Amazon gives you the money back. The catch is you can't do that until the unrealistically long delivery time has expired, and that's usually 2 months. So they have your money for that time, and you have no product.

I'm not actually sure what the scam is. Does the seller disappear with Amazon's money? Or earns interest? Or maybe they speculatively list many lines and only manage to source a few?

I'm not Diederich but I'll deconstruct your hypothetical in order to contrast it with her/his example.

* 9pm. Late, approaching curfew for children in many municipalities.

* 3-year-old. I have yet to meet a 3-year-old who can handle being free-range.

* Your yard. This is your neighborhood and you don't recognize this child. This is vastly different from being at a public playground where there are many unfamiliar children.

* Trouble communicating. A typical 3-year-old should be able to communicate. If not, she most likely can't handle being alone.

* Shoeless. I'm not sure this is relevant unless weather conditions are austere or your neighborhood contains broken glass.

The cumulative of these elements leads to an out-of-the-ordinary situation. It implies neglect. A search for the parents or if you're too busy, a phone call to police non-emergency is probably the appropriate response.
Maybe an ironic inversion.

There's hasn't been that much movement since they came out, and even for the movement that has occurred, it's pretty hard to pull out the effects of the comments and allegations from things like the debates.
Out of curiosity, do you have (open-source) examples of C++ projects that do it right?

In my numerous-though-irregular years as a C++ programmers, I haven't seen any project producing code that's convincingly safe. I won't list all the pitfalls of C++ here, but, well, who doesn't have war stories of bugs-because-of-aliasing, bugs-because-of-const-doesn't-actually-mean-constant, bugs-because-pointer-is-still-being-used-after-its-mutex-has-been-released, bugs-because-collection-has-somehow-been-mutated-during-traversal, etc? I have reached the point where I feel I can't trust any non-trivial C++ code, so I gladly switched to Rust for all my new non-webdev projects.

But back to the question, I would be really happy to see convincingly safe C++ subsets in action. I certainly hope that this would improve my life as a C++ developer, at least for future projects. As a side question, I wonder how many C++ developers actually produce such code.

The most common scenario where we experience credit card fraud is high value items ($500+) and a freight forwarder.

The scammer orders the item, using the billing address of the legitimate owner of the card, but a shipping address that corresponds with a freight forwarding operation. These places offer a US address, but forward the shipments on to various places, including South America, islands in the Caribbean, etc.

Typically, the legit card owner notices the transaction way after it's shipped, and files a chargeback. As with all "card not present" transactions, the shop owner then foots the bill, including a chargeback fee.

It took about 3 times getting burned before we took the time to put some countermeasures in place. The most helpful were geo-ip location for the purchase itself, and a "flag this for review" filter for anything going to the Miami area and/or anything with a longish suite number, keywords (freight, global), etc.

Edit: Worth noting that most credit card fraud solutions I've seen don't have a way to take the shipping address (as opposed to billing address) as part of the data to check. For the type of fraud noted above, it's vital. Geo-ip doesn't work well when the buyer is using a US proxy, or US based accomplice.
No, I didn't mean it in that sense at all.

Let us agree, for purposes of this discussion, that they have no obligation to anyone, either to individuals or to society as a whole. Their decision is not "selfish" in the sense of "not meeting their obligations to others".

But, from the article, "Most MGTOW will tell you it’s more of a philosophy than a movement, punctuated with a serious helping of ZFG (“zero fucks given”). MGTOW are unapologetically selfish..." That's selfish in a different sense - I'm going to make my decisions in a way that cares only about myself, and deliberately avoids any circumstance that might lead to me caring about anyone else.

Why does that not lead to happiness? After all, I get to make all my own decisions purely for my own benefit. But it turns out that happiness largely comes from being close to a few other people, mattering to them and having them matter to you.

> My point was more that sending your child outside to play is a routine decision with many more possible outcomes than a plane crash.

You are comparing a decision to an outcome, so that doesn't really mean much. You would have to consider "sending a child out unsupervised" vs. "taking a trip on a plane" (two decisions) -

Potential outcomes for sending a child out unsupervised:

- Abduction

- Bullying

- Getting hit by a car

- Stabbing

- etc.

Potential outcomes for taking a trip on a plane:

- Plane crash

- Grounding

- Diversion

- Hijacking

- etc.

If something bad happened (on their plane ride), plenty of (people) would question their decision and that experience would likely influence their future decisions.

Any number of outcomes are possible in both situations and the level of control the person experiencing the outcome has will varying greatly depending on any number of circumstances. None of this is relevant to the very simple comparison GP was making.

The escape mechanism from this generalized view of slavery is competition. Yes, you have to serve someone, but if you have a choice of who serve that gives you leverage, because if one master mistreats you, you can go serve a different one.

But maintaining competition is not easy because there's a positive feedback effect: once an entity starts to accumulate disproportionate power, they can then use that power to effect political change that makes it harder -- or even impossible -- for others to compete. In network-based markets where the value of the product increases with the number of people using it, the positive feedback effect is even stronger. It's a hard problem, but crucially important.
My wife and I have prime but (for whatever reason) have not linked our accounts, so when she orders something she doesn't get "prime" shipping. We have noticed that over time, her shipments take longer and longer. Used to be the case, even without prime, we'd be promised, say, 5 days and get it sometimes in 3 or 4. Those days are long past (per our experience).
It also helps to know what each source's "slant" is so you can identify it when reading articles.

If you read CNN, you know it is biased to the democrats.
If you read Fox News, you know it is biased to the republicans.

Learn where your other sources lean too. Read opposing views as well as your own. Don't simply dismiss an idea or viewpoint because you disagree with it.

I went through General Assembly's Web Development Immersive 2 years ago.

I have made good use of what I have learned in that program; however, I would be reluctant to recommend that everyone should take it.

It really depends on how much of your own time you are willing to invest in learning the material. I had 1 year of some web development experience at that point, so I was familiar with some of the material and didn't mind putting in work to get better. It was great for me in that it rounded out some of my skills and got me interested in bash which was something I never expected.

They worked really hard to get feedback from students to ensure that our experience was what we wanted and that they were also challenging us without being overwhelming. They also had a very passionate and personable staff that would answer any questions assuming that you had tried to solve your problem before asking.

They encouraged students to fail first so that they would eventually not fear failure; this was one of the most important lessons that I have taken with me. I don't think you can really learn this from an online course or tutorial.

I saw people go into the program without any developer experience come out of it building complex web apps that were using newer technologies (at that time) like Web Sockets and NodeJS. I also saw people go into the program and not really get much from it, but I don't know how much work they really put in.

A couple of the students from my cohort are working at big name companies like Uber and Starbucks, so my takeaway is that there isn't a guaranteed route to success with these types of programs. They give you enough tools to start a fire but they leave the rest up to you.
> If you're going to dump the rpi for this reason, going to something like the imx6 used in the Cubieboard and Novena would make a lot more sense.

The Cubieboard uses an Allwinner SoC, which has a bad reputation among oppen source people since Allwinner violated the GPL multiple times in the past (though I heard the Linux support is decent; mainly because of the work of the Sunxi community: https://linux-sunxi.org/Main_Page). Novena (and "Sabre Lite - i.MX6 Quad Core"; cf. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12743798) indeed use a Freescale (now bought by NXP) SoC.
Counterfeits are not always easy to detect, especially not right away. A counterfeit Macbook charger fooled me at first.
I would agree with this as long as there was actual competition in all of the markets. But at this point we'd end up with the old monopoly AT&T/Bell style of billing -- I'm old enough to remember when a "long distance" call of a couple of minutes to a town literally 10 miles away would cost several dollars because it was in a different area code. We still have that situation in too many places.

Isn't there some confirmation bias here? Meaning, you survived, and so you're still here to tell us that it all worked out fine.
This is something I've been meaning to put together a post on, where NP problems are actually easy to solve. Take the subset sum search problem as an example, there's 2 "regions" of the problem space where total solutions can be done in P. If the values are either relatively small or relatively large, solving it is quite easy:

Find 23 given [1, 2, 2, 3, 1...]
Find 40 given [35, 15, 98, ...]

A lot of situations where you might give up on trying to compute an exact solution can turn out to have underlying data that makes it possible.
8 Things You Never Knew iPhone Can Do
I don't buy it. My carrier (AT&T) is almost certainly rate-limiting bandwidth to phones in my area, doing deeper inspection on their transparent proxies, or both.

Today, service varies from 1.5/1 to 10/3 during the day, and 10-15/3 at 5AM. I don't buy that usage has increased that much.

Another thing that I've noticed is that it also optimizes for moderates/centrists, since that's where the Nash Equilibrium is[1].

With the growing polarization in our politics, I think that the political spectrum in the U.S. now looks less like a Gaussian distribution and more like a bimodal distribution. At this point the median voter is becoming a smaller and smaller plurality, and the equilibrium is becoming unappealing to more and more people.

Sure, but downtown mountain view has only one tower, while startups are now crowding out cafes and bookstores on Castro st.

The one tower shows that it isn't a hard limit but a preference.

Now nimby is a word with negative connotations. I am not saying this is bad, just that the people of mountain view have chosen to limit high density development in ways I personally disagree with.

If I can say it in a neutral way, California in general seems to value and privilege long term residents over newer residents, in ways that other states don't seem to.

The root, I think, is that California is a very desirable place to live, and the Malthusian view of growth, which most Californians hold means they don't want to just build until everyone who wants to live here can.

If you hold growth to be undesirable, you are left with fewer choices to distribute the privilege of living here. Rather than completely distributing this limited resource through money, California has a bunch of mechanisms that push the costs on to people immigrating here. (I believe that those who move are merely collateral damage, from that viewpoint.)

Now personally, I disagree because I like density and growth, but my point is that you can construct arguments from the other side that are also made in good faith.

My other point is the controversy is largely over the desirability of growth and density.

(Another interesting point is that I am told by locals that the one tower near Castro was vacant for quite some time)
