> The school would seem to have a strong incentive to only accept applicants who they are pretty sure will make a lot of money. The incentive isn't to teach anyone who shows up

That's true at first, but at a certain point the incremental cost of each additional student gets really low. Consider existing scholarships and financial aid - you can work in a level of "default" or "higher risk" into the student "portfolio".

> The school would have a strong incentive to control the lives of students

That's true

> Collecting a percentage of income might be difficult to enforce

Not sure how it's more difficult to enforce than any other type of debt, other than if income is misreported. (That's easy: require a W2).

> Legslly, can you sign a contract that permanently grants a percentage of your income?

I don't view it as a "permanently" thing. Just x% for the first y years.

Project: Designing my own cruise control

Currently I'm a MSc. student in Systems & Control. To put theory into practice I'm designing a cruise control for my car. Eventually this should become an open system to assist the driver. This allows for integration of things like following distance, speed limit, traffic density to improve safety and comfort.

Currently I'm working on parsing data from the GPS and other sensors. Read more about this on my blog: http://willemmelching.nl/. Code: https://gitlab.com/pd0wm/open-driver-assist

I live in one of these areas and very close to my downtown job, and when I first started my career I absolutely couldn't afford to live here. Worse, the never-ending clamor of removing more traffic lanes for bike lanes continues on, even as traffic only gets worse. There's definitely an aspect of "I got mine, fuck you" at work here and definitely an attraction to keeping the 'wrong' people out. I find myself thinking like this sometimes and try very hard to fight it. I find the bike crowd is almost exclusively white and relatively well off and I don't think that's a coincidence.

I also think there's something wonderful about having streets and enough traffic capacity to allow people access to every part of the city and region. We shouldn't be building silos of rich areas that are foot or bike traffic only. Its just a big 'keep out' sign especially in my town where bike lane usage is low and 6 months out of the year unusable due to the cold.

http://www.eathow.com/ EatHow is a web app that helps you plan your meals and gives you recipes you can make with the food you already have.

Long term Id like to completely automate grocery shopping and meal planning so all you have to do is a one-time setup where you set a budget and diet preferences and Eathow takes care of planning everything else.

While anyone who cooks at home would find it useful, it would be particularly cool for people who need to worry about diabetes, high cholesterol, weight loss, etc.

Except for a coding bootcamp a couple of years ago, I have no experience with building software so take it easy on me haha.

You continue to reduce the effects of the referendum to Deutsche Bank analysts' opinion on British and German stocks.

Why do you bring Italian banks into this? They are completely unrelated to the topic at hand.

It's not new or surprising that a falling currency is good for exports and can fuel an economy. Countries were and are regularly accused of manipulating their currencies to achieve that. The thing is that Brexit hasn't happened yet, so neither have its effects. Nobody knows whom it will affect or how. But the drop in the Pound's value is a clear sign that the markets don't have a whole lot of faith. If the Pound's weakness helps their economy now, then good for them. But it doesn't prove the point you think it does.

Nobody can predict the future, so claiming that predictions about it "reflect economic reality" is misleading. The recommendation is likely to represent the analyst's sincere expectation, though. I'm not arguing to the contrary.
Talisman: validate code changes that are to be pushed out of a local Git repo
Project: I am building Deep Video Analytics, Currently there are several libraries, models and datasets available for Computer Vision research. However its still difficult to apply a model to your own dataset without writing a non trivial amount of glue code. There is a need for a drop-in solution that comes with UI, algorithms and pre-indexed dataset ready to use out of the box. Using Deep Video Analytics you can quickly index images, videos for visual search, detect objects, and recognize faces and incorporate large pre-indexed datasets via fast approximate nearest neighbors.

ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
(This comment does not)

Having listened to S-Town, I strongly disagree with this article. The article itself is far more equivocal than the click-bait title suggests. Yes, S-Town is an intimate probe into a person's private life, but the subject is dead. S-town is careful to protect the privacy of the living. Any remaining concerns are far outweighed, in my opinion, by the value of a poignant exploration of the human condition that resolutely affirms the dignity of the eccentric subject.

But GDP is not the same thing as production of goods. Here's wikipedia's breakdown of US GDP by industry:

These industries are emphatically not equal contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. So it makes little sense to aggregate them and measure the emissions to GDP ratio.
React Virtualized is also great: http://www.reactvirtualized.com

We (Metabase) switched from FixedDataTable to React Virtualized and are happier with it. The only major issue with it is doesn't have fixed columns/rows built in, but it's pretty easy to compose a couple Grids with ScrollSync to get that behavior (https://bvaughn.github.io/react-virtualized/#/components/Scr...)

FixedDataTable has performance issues with a larger number of columns because it doesn't "virtualize" columns (https://github.com/facebook/fixed-data-table/issues/49). The DOM it generates is also much heavier (several elements for every cell vs. 1 with React Virtualized)

This is the key problem of most NA cities. A lack of transportation options.

The car is the default and only option, and it's a terrible default option because it's expensive vs other modes.

Why not have a variety of transportation options?

If I remember correctly, they complained when people replaced the BSD license with GPL, which was a license violation (you don't get to arbitrarily relicense the code). That seems strictly worse than the code being used following the original license terms (a copy of the license in the manual, not publishing the source).

Also, I thought that was resolved by putting the license back in the file, causing it to be licensed under the intersection of BSD and GPL.
Unfortunate but true. There's a large amount of people (especially in this country), who feel that way. When they hear in policy discussions "X will harm people", they automatically translate to "X will harm people that can't afford to do Y". When a person's _entire_ social group can afford Y, then its really hard to make them see the need for that policy.

It's not a lack of compassion, it's a lack of visibility.

Please don't ask for things that can't reasonably exist.

I can't come up with any experiment that could produce and reproduce peer-reviewed research on the causes of terrorism. It would either be horribly unethical, or it would be horribly impractical.

We cannot ask dead terrorists to fill out survey questionnaires on why they decided to commit terrorist attacks. It is extraordinarily difficult to obtain a blinded, representative sample of live terrorists, and nearly impossible to get valid mailing addresses for sending out their questionnaires. Even then, the response rate would be abysmally low. You might be able to interview captured terrorist suspects, but their responses might be biased by the conditions of their captivity. And all that presumes that a terrorist actually knows why they do what they do.

We can't take a group of non-terrorists, apply experimental treatments and the control treatment, and release them into the wild to see if any would then go on to commit a terrorist act. That would be unethical to begin with, and the method of observation would almost certainly influence the results.

So it should be reasonably well established that everyone advancing a potential contributing cause for terrorism is stating yet another hypothesis, none of which can be reasonably tested in the real world. As such, it would be acceptable to employ simulation models, Monte Carlo methods, behavior studies on lesser mammals, and any of several other means, none quite as good as a real-life scientific study using live humans.

So what you should probably be asking for is the computer simulation model that was used to show that immigration fuels terrorism. Then we could productively argue over how flawed and simplistic the model was, and how it should have been written in a different language, or using a different software paradigm. And then someone, inevitably, would ask:

What does any of this have to do with desalinization membranes?!

Honest question.

Do you think that they have "questionable morality" by the business nature (gambling, porn, etc) or for how they run the business (ex. dark patterns) ?
I really doubt there's some cabal of rich people that don't want others to understand interest. If anything, it would be to their advantage to have more potential business partners floating around out there.

I think the reality is more likely that people working in schools are public employees, they tend to be apathetic or hostile towards capitalism, and not terribly interested in boring business stuff. These are the people who set the curriculum.

This experiment reminds me of an old website where visitors only had so much paint (and it would slowly regenerate over time), and would paint portions of a common canvas. I can't remember the name of the site, but I think it was active in the mid 2000's.

Of course, at times 4chan would invade, but I think it was mostly eastern europeans present (as once again flags were the big thing to paint everywhere).

Problem: My experience taking audio tours at various museums showed the use of antiquated and expensive hardware. Most alternate solutions used mobile apps which are inconvenient to download and take more time to release.

> Can't figure out your "purpose" in life? Sounds like you have too much time and too little imagination; join a charity they'd be glad to keep you busy.

I openly say that this would probably something that is to me very far away from giving a purpose - quite the opposite. Perhaps because I am a nerd and charities typically "do something social involving humans", while I think all the time when, say, teaching children from disadvantaged background (just an arbitrary example) of how one can scale the impact by a factor of 10 (or if this is too simple) by 100 - for example using modern technology.

So my hints for finding a purpose:

1. Study mathematics: So many hard, important and unsolved problems to solve - many of them having a deep impact on humanity if someone would tackle and solve them.

2. Learn programming and solve deep problems that you find. For those for which 1 is too hardcore. This is HN, so I hope I don't have to write anything further about this.

3. If you still into charities, found one that has "how can we scale our impact by a factor of 10 as soon as possible" in mind all the time instead of "doing something social with humans" (no experience with this, though, but this is the only kind of charity that I can imagine having fun working at).
