You've just had "college is the only way" drilled into your head for the 13 years. You've been told and conditioned to understand that if you do not go to college, you will be flipping hamburgers for minimum wage. The people telling you this are your parents, your friends' parents, your teachers, your principals, your guidance counselors. All of these people are supposed to help you, right?

Of course, you've also go to contend with the fact that it's culturally acceptable for your parents to toss you out on your ass the day you hit eighteen. So you're faced with the prospect of having to go it your own, at eighteen with no life experience and probably very little savings. There's probably very few jobs in the area, and it would be hard to live off them. Or you can just sign your name on a piece of paper and be whisked away to the mythical land of college. Who knows, you'll probably get to drink with your bros and get laid. Sounds like a great time?

At a certain point this stuff stops being "think for yourself" and is just straight up indoctrination. Maybe you're lucky and your school district has some kind of alternative program for trades, or maybe JROTC and you figure out the military isn't a horrible option. For most? It's not even a consideration, it's college or a life of failure. I can't really blame a lot of folks for not realizing how shit things would be. They were brainwashed.

I usually play through the campaign first. Not because the AI is clever, but because I want to know the story, why we play certain maps, etc. FPS games are not well known for having well written stories, but I still find them entertaining, just as I find games like The Last of Us.

The new Battlefield game was probably the first were I have only played the multiplayer (and lots of it).
I miss those days too. Computing was a lot more fun.

But the way things were back then depended on peoples' attitudes, and those have all changed, for the worse. You might as well give up; those days are over. People don't care about FOSS, GPL, Linux, etc., except as a means to an end (more profits). The corporations have won, and we might as well get used to constant spying.

Also worth mentioning is that this is part of a bigger problem in society. Everything in western (particularly American) society is going downhill, and has been for the last 16 years. We just need to realize that this is inevitable and unavoidable: all societies collapse and fail at some point. The Roman Empire didn't last forever, nor did the British Empire. Internal stresses, corruption, etc. eventually take their toll and it becomes impossible to reverse course. Every big society has collapsed at some point, or at least turned into a has-been, and it's our turn next.

Knighthood is a life award. You are given the rank of Knight Commander of an appropriate order or made a Knight Bachelor (no particular order; lower precedence when it comes to deciding who walks in front of whom). The knighthood dies with the knight. Again, the "Sir" attaches to the given name ("first" name, even if that comes last or somewhere in the middle, or is a compound name in itself). In general, the "Sir" is only used for address or casual reference; you'd use the post-nominal letters in a more formal written setting.
Thinkpads work out of the box for every regular feature (I had to write a shell script to make my X1 Yoga handle folding it into tablet mode -- ~15 LOC).

A thinkpad + ubuntu I think, will hit all your needs. Lenovo preinstalls Ubuntu on some of their thinkpads in some cases (afaict, large enterprises). The thinkpad line IIRC works to use well-supported hardware for Linux. You can check the certification list to be sure: https://certification.ubuntu.com/certification/make/Lenovo/

Dell also ships XPS models that ship with Linux. http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/xps-13-linux

I was on the mac a long time, but eventually switched to Linux and am much happier.

EDIT: Thinkpad P series has 16/32gb of RAM, donno about battery/size/weight, as there are a few models, and you'll have to figure out what your preferences are in trade-offs.
I think (due to my advanced age) I got my HL's confused. It was in fact HL1 - thanks for jogging my memory, from one old guy to another.
That's the thought process behind investing, but just because the investment risk was taken doesn't mean they actually created that value. Also with strategic investments sometimes it isn't that your investment generates that much revenue for you, but ithe does deny your competition access to that resource
Why the downvotes? This person is describing a real problem with dealing with staff patent attorneys. This is real life.
Many times survey does not matter (that much). People will say they are concerned, but their action may reflect they do not really care at all.

Are people at east and west coast really concerned about global warming? Let's don't simply ask them, but check their action instead. Are they selling beach houses? Are we seeing price dropping in beach houses?
The reason people don't want to move there is because that's not where the money is, which makes sense. But when everyone thinks like that, it causes most of the wealth to concentrate to a handful of areas across the nation while the rest suffers from lack of development. It's not even. There used to be a lot of legislation that prevented that and led to development across the nation, but most of that legislation was overturned by the 90's[1].

There is a third choice: Linux. I've been using it as my desktop for 18 years now, and it really is wonderful. With a tiling window manager (no GNOME, no KDE, just X11) the UI gets out of my way and lets me work.

Yeah, I do kinda sorta wish that there were lighter or prettier laptops around, but on Linux I can get work done: on macOS or Windows my productivity is severely hampered.

I used the refugee term in the sense of "they came here to escape poverty and gang wars", not "the State Dept allowed them in".

And "Why not"? Because of my point: Syrian war is having a very real, direct impact on the other countries, and is violating the Non-Aggression Principle. So even if someone is a Libertarian or non-absolute Pacifist, it could be argued those countries most affected by refugees have the right to self-defense against Syrian combatants.

Krugman, Krugman, when other people make evasion like that, then he attacks them so aggressively that you would think it was personal. When he does it, it is simply that people did not understand his arguments.

If there was tighting before 2013 already, that makes his story even worse. Why did the economy continue to grow on path when there 4 years of tighting? Taking the 'cyclically adjusted data' to save his point is pretty fishy to me.

Its also not true that Krugman always advocated for more aggressive monetary policy, they all claimed that monetary policy was 'out of ammo' and fiscal expansion was needed. He said that

The use of the term 'viral' is only appropriate if you assume you have the right to redistribute any software you get your hands on.

The fourth category is proprietary licenses, which do not allow you to distribute or redistribute software combined with software under these licenses at all. But weirdly, these are never described as 'viral'.
They had a AI-driven ecosystem in mind, but scraped it. The agents, just snowballed the whole Eco-system.. meaning.. a mutated dog chases a rat, both run into a mutated boar, thus the chase cascades through the level.. until some incredibly strong monster hunts a tsunami of mutated boards towards the player. Which is cool.. but not fun.

Yes. Former founder here as well. One thing many would-be founders don't seem to realize is that like it or not, good companies satisfy individual humans, and successful ones scale that to satisfying a lot of individual humans.

Companies aren't about the big idea. They aren't about the product. They're about serving other people. To do that, having a big idea and a product can definitely help. But the very easiest way to fuck up a company is to forget that success comes down to a great number of small interactions.

>The GPL protects you from that.

No it doesn't.

I can "steal" your GPL code, make lots of private modifications to it and make lots of money from it without violating the licence. All I have to do is run the GPL software on a server rather than distributing a binary to end users. That also happens to be the more common way to release software these days.

If GPL developers really cared about their work being stolen or the rights of end users they wouldn't be using the GPL, they would use the AGPL.

I think you touched on a big win for macOS in my book:

> Specifically? People typically point to the telemetry and forced updates, but I've managed to disable both, using what were admittedly much-too-difficult procedures or third-party software. It's annoying, but not that annoying.

Before I switched to macOS about 8 years ago I was used to the mindset of "oh this doesn't work the way I want but I'm smart enough to figure out how to fix it" and I took great pride in being able to fix my PC no matter what happened. I'd dig into the registry, I'd futz with inf files, and drivers. I didn't mind it too much, it wasn't "that annoying". And then I switched to a MBP my freshman year of college mainly because it meant I could use Windows/Linux/macOS and I loved how solid they felt and had people around me rave about the hardware and longevity of the machines themselves. I played with macOS and found that after getting used to it it was a joy to work with. It took a little longer for me to realize that I wasn't spending all my time making sure my computer kept working, it just worked on it's own. The OS that I had belittled and mocked for years for being "a toy" or "dumbed down" actually was insanely powerful under the hood, extremely intuitive, and looked beautiful. That last point may sound stupid, I know I used to think it was, but it's a big deal. You are going to be staring at this for 8 hours+ a day. Trust me it is way more enjoyable to look at something pretty than something not. When it comes down to it for me macOS is built on a rock solid core and makes switching between it and the linux servers I work on a breeze with beautiful apps and a beautiful UI all of which JustWorks (tm). For that I am more than willing to pay the MacTax (tm).
With all due respect, I don't think so. Program lifetime cost of the F-35 Lightning is projected at a whopping 1.5 trillion US$. For the same amount of money, you could bring the renewable energy level to 50% of US electricity consumption (~1 US$/W). Scale effects not even included. Nobody wouldn't even miss the fighter (well, nobody missed it for all the years it was late).

It would be a concentrated effort of just 5 years going all the way at the scale of the Manhattan or Apollo projects, just a question of somebody really wanting to do it. It's just that it's way less sexy.
Specifically:

* HiDPI support in all apps, whethere they are aware of it or not.

* Built-in PDF editing and creation from all printable content.

* POSIX scripting and CLI.

* Very clean and consistent configuration system (defaults). Reset an app to factory? Delete one plist file and potentially an app support folder. Got a new Mac? You could even boot it up from the old harddisk. Good luck doing that with windows registry.

* Touchpad support.

* Systemwide fulltext search with indexing and complex search terms. Somehow MS still hasn't caught up with 10.4 Tiger it seems to me.

* Superb discoverability of power user features with in-app help system and hotkeys displayed in the menu.

* A consistent menu system.

* Powerful and system wide screenshots.

* Very good screen calibration out of the box

* Cmd-C / V work everywhere, including the Terminal.

* Very good terminal with good color schemes, tabs, unicode and even emoji support.

On the other hand Windows has:

* The best keyboard-only UI (although ribbons were a big step backwards in that regard - very hard to discover now)

* The best graphics drivers

* The best Office version (although Google Docs has mostly replaced the need for me)

* Windows-P, I really like that menu

* The Windows 10 task manager, pretty neat.

* Pen and Touchscreen support.

Overall MacOS beats it hands down for me when it comes to productivity.
> makes for a crazy, exciting mix where the wealth and treasure of history and (deserved) national pride contrasts with poverty and the political and social conservatism that goes alongside.

I am curious why you grouped political and social conservatism with poverty.
As someone near the beginning of their career, the corporate attitude surrounding open source terrifies me. I spent a year with a company that made random weatherproof devices and developed a desktop interface for copying data off. It communicated over a simple bluetooth or serial interface using a pre-defined set of commands. We started to get requests to open source the desktop app because people wanted to add some features to it (data export, etc) but when we approached management about doing so, they were horrified and said that it was all proprietary. How on earth is a few thousand lines of Qt code with no algorithmic complexity at all considered proprietary? It couldn't do anything to the device or dump firmware or anything, just receive data. Nobody seemed to understand that if we let the community do some of the work, that was, in essence, free engineering time and the employees could stop wasting their time and work on the device firmware instead.

Edit: The best part was that we were using some of the libraries in a way that there was ambiguity over whether we needed to open source the application so instead, they paid the Qt foundation $5k for the enterprise licence instead of the GPL version...

Luckily no one has sued me (and I hope no one is planing to) so it hasn't really affected me AFAIK, but I try to follow the law/licenses. Also when I do some proprietary work for some company and I am the one picking up the dependencies I double-check this.

In JS-world most libraries are MIT-licensed, so there was only a couple of times where I had to remove minor dependencies which didn't really affect me.
Taint is shorter.

Youtube hosts the making of video.[1] Though I would like to read some context for this thing.

Found this article [2] explaining the project:

I found nothing helpful in this article. The OP talks a lot but then come up to you and say "Buy the Dip, Sell the peak". Yeah, sure. But is it really that simple if you don't pick the dates?

Let's say you started very lately on this game: You bought on Oct 08 at 588. You then sold after a 20% gain: That is, you sold at 708 around Nov 12. Now the price of bitcoin doesn't correct, it goes up full retard to 1160. Then correct to 850. You buy there and "Boom", bitcoin still dump again to 740. Now you are faced with a hard choice: Hold the trade until you make profit, or dump it and "get the fuck out".

My experience is: Stress and uncertainly will play a huge role and you'll make the mistake of dumping at 740 and only see the price rises later.

The OP's suggested trade is simply a retarded market making strategy. If you are down for some business, at least do it right.
The problem is that the GPL considers adding a single GPL method to a large non-GPL project as being a derivative work of the GPL method.

Moreover, it considers the interactions between the method and other code a derivative of the GPL, even if only the implementation was under GPL but the header/API was provided under a more liberal licence.
> So, is college still worth it? In the most simplistic terms, yes.

Not really, college is only worth it if you finish a select number of degrees and are somewhat middle class to begin with.

US education system slowly alienates a large portion of the country putting them in debt forever. It's a stark contrast to Germany and some of the Nordic countries.

Well, I'll give you credit for pointing out I meant relative applied honesty.

An EE calculating a resistor for a circuit has a certain applied relative honesty such that either he's truthful about 2+2=4 and the circuit works or he lies and the 2+2=5 and the circuit doesn't work. That times 300 days/year time millions of engineers times centuries of progress equals our pretty freaking cool miracle of a modern world. Some individuals sometimes cheat when they play poker, or lie about politics, whatever.

On the other hand consider a line of work inherently relatively on average dishonest like marketing a dish soap via TV commercial method of marketing. No amount of extra lying will eventually construct Hoover Dam or land men on the moon.

It depends. 12k in India is a good salary in most cities whereas 65k in New York won't even enable you to rent a studio apartment.

My last salary in India was around 15k a year and when I moved here I was initially getting 65k during probation period. Despite NC being a rather cheap place I immediately saw my relative spending power (eating out, etc) go down. The only good thing is that electronics are cheaper compared to wage levels.
> The GPL does not taint anything. People like to use pejorative terms like that, or "viral", to make the GPL seem like something that spreads on its own. It is a software license like any other, and every developer can make the decision of whether or not they want to use software available under those terms.

You greatly overestimate the skill and interest a lot of developers have in the niceties of source code licensing. I've had to remind colleagues more than once that the code they want to appropriate can't be used in our code base because of license incompatibilities.
