The government isn't running the schools (most of the time), it's just underwriting an infinite amount of loans for students to take and go to private companies with. So if you're a University you know a) students think they should pay however much it costs to attend and b) they have an unlimited amount of funding to do so with.

Thus ITT Tech.
Well I'm guessing the apps at least will be available on the play store (if you don't have a Android phone in Go configuration already). Here's the Youtube Go app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...

That being said, I love having a choice. A lot of people criticize apps being split up, like Allo/Duo, but I like it. I don't get the obsession with all-in-one apps. Youtube's strategy of splitting out Youtube Kids, Youtube Gaming, Youtube Music, etc makes so much more sense.

Some might want the heavy Youtube, some may want the light Youtube Go. You get to choose what your needs are. If you don't need all the extra crap, download the Go version!

Eh, I tend to disagree. Great university's for sure, but the large majority of universities (particularly those accessible to anybody) reside in the United States. Now, I do agree that a university education doesn't have to cost as much as it does, but the scale of world-class universities in the rest of the world is dwarfed by the United States. Maybe students should not stop coming to US schools if they cost so much, as well. Idk?
I understand your point but I disagree with the concept of making AGI existentially safe in the long term - I argue it's a functional impossibility and a waste of time and money to research. Biological humanity will ideally be obsolete in the long term.

That said, ceding control of critical control systems (SCADA for power, water etc...) needs to be done in the right way to actually ensure that the implementation is better, but that's just good engineering.

Well, then, perhaps the key problem here is that the people charged with packaging nuclear waste were not experts in packaging nuclear waste.

For some reason I'm reminded of a recent visit to Takashimaya, a department store in Tokyo. After making a purchase, the checkout operator asked me (in perfectly clear English, for which she unnecessarily apologised) if I would like it wrapped. I said yes (this was a gift). I was directed down the hall to another desk staffed entirely by a team that had apparently been doing nothing for the last eighty years but perfect the art of swiftly and flawlessly packaging objects in attractive wrapping paper.

edit: watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6ltgrxioeQ

I have a feeling there are lessons here for the packaging of software, both from the nuclear waste story and the Japanese gift wrap.

Obviously nobody has a crystal ball and you can never tell when huge, industry-wrecking changes are coming, but it was well understood that majoring in Underwater Basket Weaving was not a great idea from a financial point of view.

Why is student loan debt not dischargable in bankruptcy?

Because there isn't a way to take back the knowledge/skills/information learned while in college. If you default on a home loan, then can take your house. If you default on a car loan, they can take your car.

What can they do when you default on your student loans?

This. The idea that college somehow intrinsically causes you to earn more money is completely wrong and absurd. It completely conflates causation and correlation. Yet it's frequently trotted out as a justification for taking on student loan debt (as it was in this article).

It's exactly the same as saying that people who own Ferraris make more money, so therefore the key to reducing poverty is increasing Ferrari ownership. And of course it's reasonable to take on hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to buy that Ferrari because owning one will help you make more money.

As absurd as the Ferrari ownership push is, at a certain point, once enough people own them it does start to make sense for any given individual. I mean, who's going to hire the one weirdo who doesn't own a Ferrari?

Education arguably has a lot more intrinsic value than a luxury sports car. But a degree from an accredited institution is not the same as education.
Colleges will lower costs or give more scholarships when lenders can't give out arbitrary sums to anyone which must be paid back. That is, if colleges want the same attendance. It could be that they keep the same costs and only a few students can pay. That opens a lot of business potential for everyone else though.

I don't want to say that student loans aren't a big problem or that there isn't a bubble, but I think the panic of a potential repeat of 2008 is missing a big portion of the mortgage crisis.

In 2008 there was a feedback loop that caused things to spiral out of control. Every house that was foreclosed on hit the market at a lower and lower price. This made it harder for people to refinance their existing mortgages. This was a huge problem because adjustable rate mortgages were all the rage leading up to 2008. The result was more foreclosures and then the loop repeated itself.

That isn't possible with student loans. If the student loan market pops, it will be awful for banks, it will be awful for the stock market, it will be awful for the country as a whole, but it isn't inherently going to make other people's student loans more difficult to pay off.
Sorry to hear that the USA has so many problems with tomatoes.

AFAICT, "undefined behavior" refers to two entirely-separate classes of behavior:

1. cases where the compiler explicitly recognizes a certain permutation of compilation-state as matching some pattern for what the standard calls "undefined behavior"—and then is unconstrained as to what it does in response, but indeed does something in response to detecting that state;

2. cases where the compiler has no compile-time static-analysis approach available for detecting a certain edge-case (e.g. integer overflow), and, further, is inhibited by the standard from generating code to detect that edge-case at runtime either; so the compiler is forced to leave the response to that condition either up to the programmer to explicitly handle, or up to the target architecture to respond to however it likes when it happens.

It's clear to me that undefined behavior of the second class is sort of just part of what C "is": a language where the complexity-classes of all the primitives [well, except FP math] are constrained at compile-time, so a line of code that's O(1) on one arch won't get runtime-polyfilled into being O(N) on another in order to "make the arch sane."

But my question, then, is this: would it break anything about support for the "not C machine" architectures, if the standard said that everything falling into the first class—explicit undefined behavior—was instead defined behavior, defined as "abort compilation"?
Gotcha. Well the funds are not illegal or secret, let's put it that way :)

I do think the world of Wall St. and Washington would make a crazy interesting movie. Maybe the "evil" funds buy stakes in various companies then lobby greedy politicians to make new laws aimed at giving advantages and profits to only those specific companies. At the same time these Dr. Evil types employ a revolving door strategy where they send trusted fund employees to work in government and they hire retiring politicians for huge salaries to make up the years they were underpaid "doing public service". Just an idea.
Now this is what I want to see more of on HN.
> There's a huge value in going to higher education, but the ever increasing cost and amount of debt people are taking on is setting everyone but the top 10% of graduates up for a life of being in debt, which is kind of horrifying. Especially since they are debts that are impossible to shed through bankruptcy.

I'm not sure you can make a blanket statement like that. The reason all these student loans have become a problem is that objectively a lot of degrees don't have a huge value. People are borrowing insane amounts to become the billionth undecided communications major and it doesn't make any sense at all.

It's almost like we've cut k-12 education funding (and quality) so low that people need to go to college just to get the education they should have received in high school.

The way I see it, consumers (at least right now) are free not to buy into the hype and consume whatever it is that these companies produce. So if prices are too high or quality too low, a new company can enter in.

The real danger I see is the possibility that essentially all consumers will be forced to pay for this stuff through some regulatory capture, in a similar fashion to the state of the healthcare industry in the US.

From an oversimplified perspective, I reckon Euler and Verlet and Leapfrog integration are quite basic and quite similar. Euler is the simplest imaginable scheme (ignoring fine math insights) of step by step calculations of position, velocity, acceleration.

Leapfrog is the same process as Euler integration, except the velocity values are initially nudged to set their state to the middle of the update timestep so that when the timestep is applied from t to t+1, the velocity applied is middle/average of that step (at t+0.5)

Verlet integration noted by this project, seems to be essentially Leapfrog integration, while not storing velocity data explicitly-separately from position information.

From a programming perspective, these seem to be very basic and similar integration schemes which can be overcomplicated by mathematical descriptions. I have programmed and used leapfrog basically. The Rebound engine includes some tasty looking advanced integration schemes where the fine math seems more necessary to grasp what is being calculated.

It would be nice if it indicated where it was making stuff up (in the zip code example, for the rows that were missing some data, it just makes it up - these rows are not distinguished visually from the rows where it did not add data not in the input.)

What I mean is if every row had a date like "12 May 2002" and you wanted it turned into 2002.05.12 then it would be nice if it indicated when it added data. For example if one of the rows just read "15 May" then, since there is no year, it would not be completely absurd if it transformed into 2017.05.15 - or if all of the other data is 2002, then adding that. But I really think silently adding data that was not in the input is going too far. A transform shouldn't ever silently inject plausible data with no indication that this is interpolated. Bad things can result.

Otherwise great demo!

> If it's JSON your program expects then I should be able to throw any valid JSON at your program and it should work. Granted, it probably won't be a very interesting program precisely because JSON is just generic data without any meaningful semantics.

(Emphasis mine.)

By doing this you're just reinforcing my argument that just parsing any ol' plain JSON won't make for very interesting programs. JSON is just plain dumb data, it doesn't tell you anything interesting. There may be additional semantics you can glean from a document than just its format (HTML is pretty good for this, but oddly enough not a very popular API format) if there are mechanisms to describe data in richer terms – but JSON has none of these. Yet this spec says you should serve this as just plain ol' boring JSON.

> And aside from programs that make strict use of XML schemas, they pretty much all use the handshake-and-wink method for enforcing the contract.

This is just not true. Case in point: web browsers – arguably one of the most successful kind of program there ever was, with daily active users measuring in the billions – make heavy use of meta data including media types to determine how to interpret the input. Not just by way of format (i.e. media type) but also by way of supplemental semantics (e.g. markup, micro formats, links.)

> My take on the author's approach is that the content-type is specifying the syntax of the expected input, and the documentation specifies the semantics and details of the data structure.

Which could and should be described in a spec, with a corresponding IANA consideration to include a new and specific media type in the appropriate registry – not by overloading an existing one.

If robots can design websites in 5 years, it won't be much longer til they can devise statistical ML schemes. Also, if you don't have a background in math, you'll just be finishing your studies of math/CS after 5 years, for reference.

Projects like TPOT and DataRobot are already showing a huge amount of promise for automating the tedious/time consuming parts of ML. But this doesn't mean they'll get good at the hard part any time soon.

I'd say your time/energy is better spent lobbying governments for socialist reform than learning ML at this point so we can avoid the worst case scenario(s).

Step 2.1: If kids, what is your religions position for our children.

Step 2.2: Ensure sex drives and preferences aligned. Invariably its money or sex that result in marriage break-up so you want to make sure there is a compatibility here.

Step 3: Have to disagree about if you want a pre-nup not recommending a marriage. I would easily admit I'm more practical than romantic, but I see no problem with this conversation. I believe marriages would last longer if people were more practical about discussing these things rather than believing their commitment to each other overrides these realities. In my experience couples often haven't discussed money/religion/children core requirements. For modern relationships, I'd discuss money and assets before you got to marriage as I assume you'd move in together. This is a better point for this conversation and agreement given its more 'trial stage' and with defacto laws in many countries your assets sharing starts at this point.

...anyway I'm 15 years in with my partner with 2 kids and yet to marry. So not sure I fit the social norm.

Thanks for going to some trouble explaining your point of view.

I'll try to clarify mine: yes, a plus sign vs. a capital sigma can be quickly explained. Let's imagine you're reading a short paper about, say, signal processing, and it says in a footnote or prefatory matter "we use tau for 2 pi". Also it uses the sum notation I brought up. Oh, and the exponential is different too: maybe one of these https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/30046/alternative-n... or maybe just the electrical-engineering angle symbol for exp(i theta).

Now you start reading the actual new material but even the fourier series looks all different and you're like "why is the author imposing this cognitive tax on me?" You can work through it, but why? The author must be a weirdo.

That'd be a reasonable reaction. But if notational trivia matter to those of us "with a freakish knack for manipulating abstract symbols" (http://worrydream.com/KillMath/) then they must also matter as a barrier to people who are more average in that regard. I agree if you're saying that something like sigma vs. plus sign is far down on the list of ways to improve mathematical communication -- even any notational reforms would not come first. (Though see http://cognitivemedium.com/ for some more thoughts on how computers doing what paper can't opens up new possibilities.) I also agree that learning must be active -- learning isn't just a matter of more efficiently pouring knowledge into a student's head. The difficulty can be roughly divided into accidental and essential; you must do well at engaging with the essential difficulty of the subject to engage well at all. But smoothing the accidental, trivial difficulties is not, in aggregate, trivial.
