Maybe we could finally take the problem at its origin and make tuition free for people. Education is a right.
This sounds kind of like one of those games where the Nash equilibrium leaves everyone with fewer points than they'd get if they all cooperated in the right way.
There may be something to that.

I have to say, though, paying my employees more so that my competitors have to pay their employees more so that their employees will buy more stuff from me sounds like a pretty dubious business strategy. And one that certainly won't work at all if there's enough of a labor surplus, because my competitors can keep their wages low and still find employees even if I'm paying an order of magnitude more.
I'd balk at the claim, but, as above, it's consistent with the other reports.

Did you find evidence of the hypothesis that it's a kind a "tripwire" to get you to accidentally miss a month and trigger enormous penalties?

How to Become CEO: The Rules for Rising to the Top of Any Organization by Jeffrey J Fox

I found this book in a library's junk pile, evidently unread. It has one of those bad 80s covers that suggest it'll be terrible, but to my great surprise, it's great! It's 80 or so one page missives/dictums/edicts that'll take barely half an hour to read through - I re-read it every time I have a job interview coming up or a some kind of major life choice. The author's tone is abrasively direct; this is how it is, not how it should be. And the advice isn't just for wannabe CEOs, it's accessible and attainable for everyone.
> Do you have any justification for this? Or should this just be accepted because you said it's not a good idea?

I can provide a counterexample: the best higher ed system in the world operates as a free market.

> Other than as a general rule you are against taxes.

And where did you get that from? In the future, make sure to carefully read comments before replying.

To recap:

I said that we should stop arguing about why school is expensive and instead focus on funding it so American college students don't have to carry a debt for the rest of their lives. I then said that the way to pay for their tuition is to increase taxes.

The article averages all colleges, some major have significantly higher returns, choosing engineering for example you get both high returns but also a lower tuition cost and better outcome on average than, say, law schools where prestige and connections play a major factor in lifetime earning

A lot of my millenial friends are mothers and fathers...

Anyway. We avoid Applebee's and Buffalo Wild Wings. The food is terrible. Even if it was mediocre, it's overpriced. There are better restaurants at the same price, or lower.

> and at the same time they are spending outside their means

It amuses me to no end that we millenials are simultaneously criticized for not spending enough.
Because choosing privacy gets privacy, but choosing safety by handing over the keys to your life to other people, strangers, working for their own interests, for commercial interests, for power and money, does not get you safety.

Because an individual choosing privacy implicitly chooses privacy for everyone, but an individual choosing 'safety' (in this context) implicitly chooses no privacy for everyone else, and implicitly unsafety for people who needed that privacy while not actually doing anything illegal. (Or maybe doing something technically illegal but still just or reasonable or morally right).

It's an "I have nothing to hide, so you cannot hide anything", "I'm alright jack", "everyone should trust the people I trust because I agree with them" approach.
Guessing your brother is in India or something similar. Business is different there, lots of small traders do import and export of basic commodities. Not really going to be viable in the US unless you have​ some advantage.
But wait. The more colleges charge for tuition, the harder it becomes for intelligent but poor people to get admittance. Therefore, the worse a college degree from a "top college" can act as a proxy for intelligence.

My thing with BW3's is that watching sports at a sports bar kinda sucks. You can't hear the commentating and you can't really hear your friends either.

We'll still order takeout on occasion but if we're gonna sit down to eat there's no reason to eat at BW3's. Applebee's, Friday's , and Ruby Tuesday's just aren't good enough for the money you spend. I'd rather eat somewhere local with a more interesting and well executed menu for the money.

Except that the commit history is actually important when auditing a security-sensitive project.

After reading the guidelines for the Linux kernel I've always given full and proper commit descriptions for effectively all of my commits (with exceptions for projects which don't matter, and such messages aren't going to be read by anyone -- including me). I really wish more people did this, because it makes bisecting, backporting and otherwise spelunking projects much easier.

To put it in your analogy, it wouldn't be fair to judge a programmer by their handwriting. But it might be fair to judge a secretary by their handwriting (you'd be annoyed if your secretary didn't write down important details, or wrote them in a way that nobody could read them).

At any given time the supply of etherium is what it is, as with fiat currency. It's still finite, even as it continues to grow. The value of etherium is a function of the current and anticipated future supply, just as the value of Bitcoin is a function of the expected current supply (some amount is known to have been lost, some amount is "known" to have been lost, some amount is expected by some parties never to be touched again, etc.)

In practical terms I don't see how this is necessarily a huge issue in the one case and not in the other.
I also hate that, but I always felt it was more a failure of the documentation writer than the GUI. "Click File -> Settings -> Whatever, open the Something tab, and click the "Do It" button under the Stuff subheading" can easily replace half a dozen unnecessary images.

It depends on what kind of idea you're conveying. For many things, yes, text-heavy diagrams are the best way to go. If you're trying to, say, explain what a claw hammer is shaped like, that is much easier to do with a simple picture.

+1 for asciidoc... currently writing my master's thesis in asciidoc and it has all the nice things you need in for a highly-structured document, but in a plain-text format.

Asciidoc has a lot of nice things like footnotes, bibliographies, including remote asciidoc files and highly-customisable table of contents features that Markdown simply doesn't have.

Check-out the Pro Git book on GitHub written in AsciiDoc, it's a great example [0].

Also, slightly off-topic, but writing long-form documents in plain-text is awesome. Ditch MS Word/LO Writer for your favourite text editor, use Git branches to try out different ideas or drafts... it's bliss.

Ha! Nice try. You program in a text file. You don't get to somehow call that a spreadsheet just to make your argument sound better.

My whole point is that we need to turn that free text into a spreadsheet (from which graphs can be produced) and "your accountants will thank you".
You know that 7.1% average doesn't mean 7.1% every year.

Anyone that didn't panic sell during the crash has recovered.

There are ways to handle the risk of a crash. #1 is to not play the high risk-high reward game if you are near retirement or already in retirement.

You can't handle big swings at that point, since recovery could take 10 years and you're already 70.

#2 is to have a liquid emergency fund, so you don't have to sell low if you have a big problem during a crash.

#3 is to not panic sell during the crash...

This probably also has something to do with the ability to get on-demand restaurant ratings for virtually any establishment. It used to be that the only way to know you'd get a decent meal was to visit a large brand name, and that's simply not the case anymore. Now the great restaurants have similarly great reviews and that's where people choose to go, regardless of whether they'd heard of it before.

Um, YAY!. Nothing is worse than some real estate baron dropping a couple mil and building some zombie chain restaurant. They know nothing about food and care only about squeezing profits out of the locals.

Nobody local every opens a chain and so they don't care about the community or food quality.

I try very hard to stick to locally owned restaurants but sometimes they're few and far between - especially in a college town like I live.
If miles are cheap it will likely increase vehicle miles.

I guess in many areas public transport doesn't make much sense to begin with (low density).

In higher density areas, it can impact the decisions people make. A household having 1 car or no car makes it an easier decision to take public transport if it is cheaper than hailing a self driving taxi (or faster during a rush hour or whatever). It makes it easier to bike to work without worrying about the weather. And so on.
Ah, then yes. My mistake. Very few people will leave with $200k in loans.

They're worse. They get in the lowest grade wings possible (sometimes they're the size of pigeon wings) and cook as industrial as possible.

NASA Can't Explain What Made This Strange, Deep Hole on Mars
Qatar has been known to fund most of Sunni Terrorism in the World. They have been caught directly giving hundreds of millions to ISIS. In Wikileaks, Hillary admonished Qatar for funding Isis and told her assistants that they needed to put pressure on their government (she accepted a $10M donation from them after saying they sponsor terrorism before Isis and then increased their military arms sales by 6000% but that's not the point).

They have the worst violations of human rights. They lure in foreign workers, take their passports and make them slaves working them to death. If Qatar man rapes a foreign woman, foreign woman is jailed according to law. Worst country in the world but unfortunately one of the richest. I think Trump how much ever of a Buffon he is somehow spearheaded this because Qatar has been a major hub for these countries.
The main issue is liability. Who is liable when software produces an accident? The owner? The company that made the car? What about insurance?
I went to college not for the money, but because I wanted to get good at something specific that was taught in college.

The problem right now is that the culture (especially in the US, as in many other countries its not as bad) is to consider people who didn't go to college failures. People who go through trade schools or apprenticeships are shunned over college grads (even in the case where the later can't get a job while the former does). So people go to college out of peer pressure, not because it's worth it.

That's all sorts of messed up.
I'm guessing that's only supported with Google services though.

I am over 40 and I normally patronize eateries in NYC or cook at home.

Recently after years, I went to TGI Fridays. I was amused at how bad the food was in quality and nutritive value [1]. It was hard to find anything healthy to eat. Until a decade ago, going to TGIF or Applebees defined dining out, or chilling after work, in most of the US.

The food, once cautiously chosen for pain avoidance, costed $35 for two. I won't know enough to comment how America at large treats these chains, or even if they have the same cultural relevance they had in the 1990s, but I for one see their whimsical demise.

"The solution is a drivers license to use the internet. No more anonymity."

Ten seconds later, someone else is posting under your license and you have no clue how and you're stuck talking to a scripted call centre employee who can't help and a police force that isn't interested.

5 billion people around the world are ignoring a "UK driver's license" for internet communication, particularly including potential terrorists. And domestic terrorists are communicating with a license out to an ordinary seeming server and not tripping any flags.

and how would it even work when you take into account free public wifi and carrier grade NAT? There's no equivalent to a single car with an easily tracked registration plate that each person drives over and over and over.

And the internet is explicitly not a public space, it goes from your computer to (say) Comcast's computers, to intermediate carrier computers, to Facebook's computers. There's absolutely nothing public in the same way that highways are public.

You can cause a lot of damage there

We're talking pictures and text. What damage? Do you also want a license to write on paper or post letters or send SMS or make phonecalls or draw paintings or write news or pamphlets or speak where more than two people can hear you?

License so you don't run an exploit on someone else's computer? That's already illegal.
> Don't judge their code by their use of a VCS. It's like judging a person's articles by their notes. I've got terrible handwriting.

Except notes rarely are intended to be public and used for communication with other developers. While I agree that bad commit messages every now and then are not a big deal - that is not what the original commenter was referring to. Of the 23 commit messages, 8 of them are just "1".

The only meaningful commit message was from a 3rd party PR that was merged. For security-related code, "hygienic" coding practices, including quality commit messages, are - at least in my eyes - important.
It seems that the sentiment for more alternative and "disruptive" ideas or businesses are the most welcomed here. It's a shame that people are missing indicators that the enterprise is < 10 years away from disrupting traditional software startups, software is becoming a commodity.

Linux Commands for Linux User Who Wish to Learn Linux
I have worked on servers that had this problem with select(2). poll was better but kqueue was much much better (from near-100% utilization with a few thousand open fds to < 1% cpu utilization; please forgive the vague numbers, it was 7 years ago at a company that I no longer work for).

If you're using nonblocking I/O, or threads, select can become the bottleneck with a few thousand interesting connections at sizes that are much less than the FD_SETSIZE max.

The user-space CPU utilization should be near-0 since this is really a kernel I/O problem; the fact that it is much higher is an indication that a lot of wasted user space work is being done.

Select, by design, has a flaw: the kernel must scan the bitmask for the highest-numbered fd passed in, even if there is little change in the fd_set bitmask (as is usually the case). This means incurring a cost if any fd in the set has a high fd number. The fd on which you accept probably has a low number, but your client I/O fds will have increasing numbers as the server gets greater and greater utilization.

kqueue (and epoll, but I haven't used it) resolve this problem nicely. Only things that change state must be communicated. poll is better than select in this respect if the array is sparse, but if a large number of fds are interesting, it will also get expensive.
My pushback was against the comment above mine, which blithely suggested doing an experiment where the states would sort it out. Of course, the worst solution will be pretty far off the charts. Never underestimate how far "worst" it can get! There are states/regions that either don't have their shit together, or neglect their second-tier schools.
I believe.. Spotify got sued and paid for it.. And now they bought an Ethereum Startup to fix the problem of paying royalties.
I agree with this statement, wholeheartedly.

I do, however, think programming languages could benefit from more visual augmentation. A program, over time, takes on more complexity than a programmer can hold in his mind, and eventually, the program's design will elude him. A disconnect appears between the text he types in the moment and the original design of the program. The sum total of the program's code no longer resembles the problems at hand.

Here, I think, visual tools are underutilized. Not as code crafting tools, but as tools for reflection. Reflection on dependency trees, deviation in style, orphaned code, the ability to visualize how and where data might flow in unexpected ways, etc. Webpack's stats.json comes to mind for dependency tracing. Statically typed languages obviously have a leg up here.

> In practical terms I don't see how this is necessarily a huge issue in the one case and not in the other.

In the case of fiat currency, the supply of money is based primarily on 1) Increases/Decreases in the loans provided by banks and to a lessor extent 2) a central banks balance sheet.

I don't believe it's possible to add to the supply of bitcoins simply by loaning them into existence vs. fiat currency. That is, there isn't a closed-loop system similar to the banking system that allows for this elasticity of bitcoin units.

I'm not advocating that this is a requirement or even desirable, it's just a limitation that I don't see often discussed.

Not saying anyone going to college isn't good (I have a son going to college now). But frankly is this really surprising?

I have known this for years. I have a college education but NEVER advertise it because it has absolutely ZERO to do with my career. And I rarely have told anyone that I graduated. Even straight out of school I relied on my capability not an education and that capability got me a better job offer at a higher salary then I could have reasonably expected if I claimed a new grad.

Not saying school is bad or not worthwhile, there are things I wish I would've taken the time to learn earlier but the reality is at some point it becomes useless compared to if you can do the job. When I hire, I absolutely never care about the education except that if you have one I expect certain answers that if you have experience I wouldn't expect.
Is the entire industry so dumb they overlooked such an obvious parameter?
