> Why is their business model "poor"?

Because it relies on exploitation. It offers pennies for work that ha real risks involved. No insurance, not even bike maintenance is offered. You're on your own and if you happen to be the unemployed, unprivileged youngster from the outskirts of Stockholm (quite common) and anything happens while you're riding for one of these companies (car hits you, pedestrian walks out in front of you, etc.), at best your bike is busted and you can't even pay back the money you borrowed to buy it just to get the job. At worst you'll have serious injuries and you'll need treatment that you'll get for relatively little cost only because this is Sweden not one of those fucked up countries where health care is terrible and you'd go bankrupt if such a thing happened to you.

That's why the mode is poor. It makes me sad that all these delivery companies build thir business on exploitation.
Except the quadratic formula, just as an example, has a lot of positive qualities when taught to children:

* The longform is fairly complex, so it is non-trivial to remember or recount. You can't just guess it (at least without knowledge well beyond it). So it looks like "magic".

* It is a great introduction to what formulas are. They are non-trivial proofs of concepts that took research and logic to conclude.

Learning logic and learning patterns, especially the non-obvious ones like the qf, are what promote analytical thinking. We need more of that, not less. Maybe the problem is more that kids are shown a magic formula and made to mechanically repeat it on a couple dozen data sets than to actually learn how to reach conclusions like the qf. Making kids proof it would probably be more valuable than making them repeatedly use it beyond a few times to assure them it is valid magic math.
And my point is resources are the goal, not work; there are other ways of obtaining a minimum living wage that don't require working yourself to the bone for less than a livable wage. We have safety nets for a reason.

It has everything to do with the minimum wage topic, I took your argument and applied it to something else to show how absurd it was. It doesn't matter why minimum wages were originally created just as it doesn't matter how penicillin was discovered; they are both useful nonetheless.

And the experiment mentioned in your link confirms this non-locality up to the distances of 600 light years, but we want to confirm it for even larger distances and times, that's why there is a need for techniques like the subject of this discussion.

Ask HN: How to give enduser confidence that shipping chain was secure?

> The problem I see with this approach is that, unless you're a billionaire (maybe a multimillionaire), you're not going to affect the world in any measurable way (barring super-rare exceptions like some writers, politicians, scientists etc.).

I think this belief comes from highly individualist cultures where you need to do everything yourself, but it's not the only way of doing things. People tend to just focus on themselves, improving themselves, figuring out how they personally can do something, but there's not much focus on involving other people.

On the contrary, "doers" often close up, stop talking to people, stop making friends, etc., in their effort to "do" the thing, which, if anything, makes their network angry at them. Often this /does/ happen because doers think less of everyone else, creating the very kind of pressure that pushes people away.

How do movements start, even silly ones? We've seen plenty of those. They don't really require someone to do some insane amount of work. But they require people to talk about it and to then bear the brunt of ostracism. Plenty of movements, including many people don't like at all, have grown this way. Simply from some people saying "you know, this makes no sense" and other people agreeing.

A lot of things come down to what regular people talk about every day and connecting to them. Even billionaires and writers, in the end, are trying to change the thinking of regular people.

Nice annecdote. Here's another one: I work in the IT industry in the UK. Not one of my current or past colleagues has mentioned any desire to leave the UK due to Brexit, and not one of them is a racist zombie either.
The other issue is that these devices have a limited lifetime in comparison to what they are replacing, paper textbooks. We may complain that textbooks our kids have are X years old, or don't have Y or Z fact in them that has transpired since the book was printed, the fact remains that the school didn't have to refresh that book every couple years at great expense. Chromebooks, laptops, iPads, etc. all are fragile and have a very limited lifespan in comparison to a textbook. That money would be much better spent on teachers which will have a far greater impact on the student's lives than any book or piece of tech ever will.

Do we really think that 20 years from now students will look back fondly and remember their old Lenovo Chromebook? Or will they remember the teacher that took the time out to make an impact in their lives?

Technology changes, it's impossible to keep up. Human interaction is a constant over all these years and advances.

I've been trying to something sort of along this line with my "Practical Redux" tutorial series ( http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/series/practical-redux ), as well as other technical blog posts. I kind of fell into the pattern of writing the initial code for the next post, then going through it again as I write the blog post and cleaning up the commits to be more coherent. The post walks through the "final" commits step-by-step, links to each commit on Github, has code snippets for files in those commits that show either a diff or the entire file contents, and also links to those specific file versions as well. I've been manually copying and pasting commit hashes and links into the posts, which does take work, but it hasn't been worth trying to automate yet.

> No, what he has said is not true, starting for the farcical claim about spyware

Uhm, have you heard of SafetyNet? Even if you ignore the stuff Google is doing, we know for a fact that all cellphone basebands contain code to turn them into listening devices and have universal backdoors.

Ever since Snowden blew the lid on this stuff you can't claim that any of this is "farcical".
This brings up a more complex debate.

In order to be effective, signatures have to come from a root of trust. Where are you forming a trust basis for a signature in the curl? The GPG sigs built into your package manager are signed by the packager and form a cascading tree of trust, and the TLS certifcate authority system is also supposed to form a foundation for trust. (Sigs are on the file, but where do you get the packager's first signature in this place? curl from https piped into sudo doesn't decrease the CA trust model and a sig on the file as well doesn't add anything, since the sig would be easily replaced by anyone with the wherewithal to mod the original file.

Instead, that sig would be security theater, much like an EV-TLS cert. (Not that security theater can't still be valuable from a marketing perspective from people who think that checking sigs on an https site is still valuable.)

While there can be security value in sigs, it doesn't come into play in these circumstances without starting from a position of a signed sig from somewhere, and ultimately the smart and paranoid will still curl to a file and actually read the script. Actually, ultimately, if you are in a security sensitive situation, you are probably not in the cloud at all, or on dedicated instances, and then you should avoid SaaS and cloud software altogether and look at an on-premise solution like Userify Express/AWS/Enterprise, as then you will have that crucial foundation of trust in your initial purchase and you can tightly control that environment.
And I don't think we'll ever see that again. Even if there are big vulnerabilities in Linksys, DLink, Netgear or common ISP shipped modem/router combos - there are just too many different devices to see it on the same scale.
You pretty much made the entire thread superfluous. Very well articulated and I fully agree, the suits don't care if you reduce their expense if they can skip the expense whatsoever.
"Unlike floats, ints are represented as immediates, i.e., they are not allocated on the heap. To tag ints OCaml steals the LSB bit of an int and sets it to 1 always. This means that we get 63 bits of precision in OCaml ints and any int value n will appear in the assembly as 2n+1 (the LSB is always 1 and the bits of the number shifted one place in).*"

> “I cannot answer for them what they are going to do with the quadratic equation. I don’t know why they are learning it.” He added, “And I don’t know why they can’t ask Google for the answer if the answer is right there.”

To me, this is giving Google much more than your privacy, customer loyalty or ad exposure. Your are giving away some of your very basic abilities: if you only learn to search with Google, you will not learn how to reason on your own. Knowledge stored in your brain is of much better use than that on Google, because your brain is capable to perform much more powerful queries on it.

However, using a brain at its maximum power needs years of training, which is what one would really expect to receive in school. This training requires that your brain works on its own, without external help from a search engine, for more or less the same reason you will hardly become a strong cyclist if you train on a motorbike.

Schools should really be wary of too much computer time for children.

What's positive about this: more options for developers. What's negative about this: Microsoft is trying to eat Linux. I doubt they will succeed but that's in fact what they are trying to do.
That is a valid point -- I had to get quite used to git rebase while making the initial gitorials =) If all you need to modify is the commit messages, this tool apparently is a nice option:

https://bokub.github.io/git-history-editor/

In the future, I'd like to extend the shell tool to have a nice "edit mode" that runs git rebase underneath. I haven't thought through how to deal with merge conflicts, though.

Being able to run the tutorials online would be ideal, but that will require a full-fledged OS to run the project. That could be done server-side with a sandboxed OS ($$$) or, intriguingly, perhaps it could be done entirely client-side using an in-browser Linux emulator:

> It doesn't matter why minimum wages were originally created

It does actually matter because minimum wages were created to prevent minorities from finding jobs and compete with whites, they still have the same effect today. That's why it still matters to understand why they were created, so you can understand the consequences they still have today. As a member of a minority myself (son of a Syrian immigrant), I find these racist minimum wage laws outrageous but maybe you're a privileged white unaffected by these laws and therefor cannot understand how bad it sucks to be unemployed and that most people would rather have a low paying job than stay home and do nothing which makes you feel useless and depressed and discourages you from finding a job.

Free-rider problem, and the black (or gray) market.

If all the value I capture from working is one/population of the value I produce, there are probably other things I can do (in an environment with a population bigger than "really small village") that will do substantially more to improve my circumstances, whether legal or not (and some things are bound to be legal - consider a kind of analog of the "man who marries his housekeeper" objection to GDP). And when people are desperate, they are more likely to focus on the things that will most improve their circumstance (especially in the shortest term).

Aswell as this I am not deferring updates in any way and dutifully patching. I've always hardened Windows in this way and I've never had issues with malware, and if I did, the impact would be minimal because I've compartmentalized my files in such a way that even the worst malware would only encrypt some of my files and not all of them.

I store all my critical files in an offline environment (sandbox) so the only files that are going to be encrypted are replaceable (non important) and disposable. For example, I wouldn't cry if my C.V got encrypted because a copy of it exists in about 50 locations either offline and online.

Unfortunately I need Windows because my colleagues like to send Windows-only .DOCX files which work best in MS Word, and I don't have a Google account, so I can't open them in Docs. This is a conscious decision to permaban Google from my life, but Windows is staying.
