And yet another effect is consolidation -- e.g., small business competitors are priced out due to the increase, only to be replaced with franchisees or larger businesses filling their void. Overall employment might go up, but you might increase wealth concentration for large company CEOs.

And, of course, you neglect to offer the possibility of a mixture of all or some of the above, which is just as likely.
No it's not, because it's directed at our society as a whole. We can collectively change how we recommend people to allocate their time and money. And as a thought experiment, this is an important critique of the value of modern post-secondary education.
More like you please :-)
I wonder how different the ROI is between college degrees. I could see a large number of degrees having practically no ROI, compared to just entering the labor market, while others will be more substantial.
The people whose parents are paying for college already have more of an advantage so they would be more likely to have an ROI from college.
That's cool -- you should share a link! I've actually also been working on something just like this, which is why I asked for feedback with this. I'll post it on HN tomorrow via a Show HN so we can compare!

For anybody interested -- email is in profile. Happy to give you a sneak peek!

Unless I'm mistaken you've so far been "forced" to use LLVM and LLDB if you for whatever reason wanted/needed that.

With this landed, you should be able to stick to a GNU toolchain, even in those cases.
It has taken off in certain niches. When I was an undergrad all of the physics labs were hella into LabView for developing instrumentation software. Most shader development tools are essentially visual programming.
Thanks for you comment. As someone using computers for more than 30 years I can tell when my screen is being monitorized (I think a snapshot is being taken every 5 minutes or so). Anyway I don't have a formal proof and I see that my comment can be read as a tinfold guy.
What you're describing is Developer/2000 or more generally RAD which was all the rage in the mid-90s.

I remember reaching my state spelling bee and noticing that some of the other kids had a book I had never seen. It turned out to be _Valerie's Spelling Bee Supplement_ and when I got to the national bee almost every competitor had one. I felt like the knife guy at the gunfight.
> That's literally the only thing I'm scared about going to US

Don't be. TSA is stupid theater, they suck, but probability of anything happening to you is very low. Probability of anything beyond mild irritation happening to you - unless you one of high profile people that Powers That Be have a beef with - is vanishingly low.

Yes, it still happens - millions pass through TSA every day, and you'd have a number of cases where usual silliness rises to the level of dangerous idiocy, and these cases would be widely publicized and criticized, as they should be. But pure numbers game suggests your chances of becoming one of those is very small. If you take some basic precautions - like not standing out too much, being polite and not arguing with them, however stupid the proceedings look, etc. - even smaller.

In fact, on my latest travels, I personally have had much more irritating experience with London security that with TSA. On top of everything TSA does (which they did too), London people were severely understaffed for some reason, but if you think that made them move at anything faster than a glacial pace, you'd be so wrong. They were so Zen I'd be envious if I wasn't so concerned about missing my flight because they need to swab my books and slooowly bring it to some mysterious machine and slooowly come back and so on... But still it wasn't much more than mild annoyance summarily.

> But I am scared I'll get into trouble on the border because of my HN and Facebook posts (e.g. against US drone strikes).

Nobody cares. Really. They don't have resources to read every HN thread.
Actually, from the student's perspective, there would be a 0 investment, so ROI becomes infinite.
Bootlicker? If you sign a contract, you are saying you're alright with it.

You're saying you're happy to reneg on contractual terms. Good luck in life but those of us who stand by our word want nothing to do with you.
That's not accounting for the fact that degrees are required for jobs that where in the past available to high school leavers at 16 or 18.
> BUT we end up with all websites asking for your E-Mail (like they need it for some reason) so that's why it is sent by default.

I believe that it'd better be explicit (like in OAuth, where the web service asks for a permission to access your email) and optional (defaulting to not asking for email).

Note that services usually don't need emails (at least not right away). They should also continue working just fine if the user decides not to provide their email initially — the service may ask for user's email at a later step. I also see that the similar concept might be used to ask people for or other sensitive data, like delivery/billing address and payment info; this way I as a service developer don't have to store anything on the web service at all except for the unique user token, and the user would be able to provide this information with a single click as well — same as in your demo app where the user confirms a transaction.

> Browser extension does have same problem as a website though. That's neither more secure nor more fast derivation, so that idea was dropped first.

I'd probably disagree here. Installing an extension is much faster/easier than a native app; it can store data in localStorage (so no centralized service is needed), it can solve your Safari-related discoverability issues, and it can provide a really nice UX for web-based service authentication with no context switching between apps. I'm not a security expert, but a browser extension storing your data locally should — theoretically — be as secure as a native app. Am I missing something here?

Would love to continue the discussion offline. Is it ok to email you?
The starting point is probably V.21 / Bell 103. Check out the datasheet for the AMI S3531 single-chip modem, it's got useful background and timing info.
Agreed. Watch "The Founder". The amount of workplace efficiency brought by the McDonald brothers would have been, and almost certainly was considered inconceivable by other restaurateurs of the era.

"The system" was so good that it revolutionized the fast food market to the point that almost every attempt to buck the trend is now considered some sort of synonym to 'craft' or 'artisanal'.

(Note: I'm taking the movie as canon, which is basically stupid, but I have a grandfather who would gladly tell you the story of his first McDonald's visit, and how revolutionary it was relative to everywhere else he'd been, but for his passage a few years back.)

By that logic Sweden should be more worried about being attacked by USA or UK. All countries historically have been expansionist. Now we have modern world, and it's certain that there's 0 possibility of Russia attacking Sweden. I don't understand all that recent hype about Sweden being afraid of Russia's attack. Even Finland and Norway which border Russia don't care, but Sweden do. Seems like there's some local political game involving "scare of Russia" is going.
I don't see how that applies. Steganography cannot be used to hide encryption on a large scale because all steganography techniques depend either on the obscurity of the technique or on disguising encrypted data as other opaque encrypted data. You couldn't e.g. use steganography to hide that you're accessing a website via TLS because the client needs to know how to communicate with the server, and there's no way to make that possible for arbitrary citizens but not for government agents.
Same here! Deutsches Technikmuseum?
I think your idea is brilliant but needs a bit o polishing off.

Because every website is different everyone has different requirements, and a solution would be to just use the public key as the identifier instead of the email.

And for backup purposes as master password, I would suggest making it very similar to Trezor and generate for the user with a good RNG a 24-word mnemonic. I know is a hard task to write down for some but you don't do it every day, and you know you're safe if you lose your device or make use of it on a different device. I wouldn't want to rely on the user to memorise it or generate it, especially when users do not generate a good entropy.

I would personally recommend using Trezor as guidance. This is my demo: https://cl.ly/1P0N0W1t1a3B

I would be happy to implement it in my systems if it follows the principals above.
This is a good primer on the technical side of this madness. It is quite accessible and therefore a good one to share with people who don't yet realize that what May is trying to do will mean the end of the internet and tech industry in the UK.
I can tell you where in my opinion visual programming works (or can work if anyone actually bothered), but you probably not gonna like it.

First step is to think about IDE assisted programming as a proto visual programming. Second step is to have a real DSL, not just some general purpose programming language with some extra words sprinkled that sort of look like a DSL, but you can easily escape. Visual programming tools that aims to do the job of general purpose programming language is kinda doomed from the start in my opinion.

Here's a snag - how many DSL languages do you know that have intelligent IDE support? Designing a good DSL language is kinda hard in the first place. I know of many, but they are called XML languages, deal-breaker for many. XProc can work as an underlying language for such a visual programming tool, with a good XML schema enabled IDE or editor such as OxygenXML you won't even work with XML as most see it, it's not really text anymore. Dropdown menus in a representation of a tree, that's what it becomes.

There were at least two attempts to create an actual visual programming tool on the base of XProc, most advanced was this one https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-4382
I wonder how much of this is just a result of US tuition costs being out of control.

Does this analysis hold for coding bootcamps? What about Canadian colleges (say, Waterloo, Queens or Toronto)? What about community college? Restricted to only CS/EE degrees? Becoming a doctor? Does it account for the probability of dropping out of various college progams?
"A Mind For Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science" by Oakley http://barbaraoakley.com/books/a-mind-for-numbers/

Despite the title it is useful for learning how to learn in general (not just math). Simple techniques supported by the research. I wish I didn't had to reinvent them in high school, college.
> This article doesn't explain why we should believe that stockmarket performance, going forward, will be anything like the S&P's performance from 1993 to now.

Nor why we should believe that a college degree's wage premium will be anything like its performance from 1993 to now.
Went to community college then went to university for upper division classes. I'd say it was worthwhile investment and was pretty cheap.
I know people who're 100k in debt who wouldn't agree with that.

Thanks. This quote is worth repeating:

"Besides a mathematical inclination, an exceptionally good mastery of one's native tongue is the most vital asset of a competent programmer."

And yet, people with much linguistic proficiency are rare in the field of software development. I don't know why this is so, and it is a tragedy.

Ah yes, the old "finding a dollar on the street gives you infinite ROI, much better than __________"
Shouldn't the analysis account for the value of S&P 500 companies managed and operated by people without college degrees?
Yeah of course, I'm not saying the contract wouldn't have an influence on my actions, just that I don't (and you shouldn't) feel a moral/ethical obligation to follow it.
As someone who is attending a CC for 3 of 4 years for my degree I'm sure it doesn't. Now you can't do this at most community colleges but you can at mine.
Which is most of the time, on the backend.
And Ada syntax is in turn derived from Pascal.
if the subtext here is that university tuition is much higher than it should be, i agree. but the point of going to college isn't merely to achieve a monetary ROI.
Yes, that's a very early version of the project from one year ago and before migrating to vue.js. I haven't updated the site or the demos since then, but the new one is coming next week.
Thanks a ton. IIRC GA aren't that expensive. . might be fun to spend some money on this.
I have been working on xol, a graphic based programming language.

xoL is a graphic based programming language. It represents programming concepts with graphics instead of text. It is product of a long, painstaking design effort, to get an optimal graphical presentation of programs. A good description of it is available in this blog post: http://lignixz.github.io/blog/posts/17/xoL_graphics_based_pr...

A partially working prototype from a previous version is available online. The newer current design has fundamental improvements over that previous prototype. The way some program elements work was redesigned. The control method was also redesigned. It is now aimed primarily at touch based controls. Here is the prototype for the previous version: https://github.com/lignixz/xra9 . The prototype is not optimized for performance so excuse that. It is functional to some extent, if you can figure how to use it. You can add and modify programming elements.

Would welcome any opinions/feedback. Also interested in finding partners/investors/sponsors that may be interested in this project.
This is the kicker. Similarly, the stock market outperforms property on the regular, but banks won't lend you hundreds of thousands of beans to get involved in the stock market, when they'll fall over themselves to give you a mortgage.
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. Look at complex CAD systems and editors. They focused on the visual side and still provide some kind of command line for scripting the things. Even in pure visual programming systems like PD you can type algebraic expressions in textual form. And in text-based systems you may have lots of 2d tables (Smalltalk), graphs of modules, semantic colors (colorForth) etc.

Imagine GUI editor where the user can type the code on the left side and also can move and edit widgets with cursor on the right side. And editing of both sides is working in live mode. My point is that we need to have the best of both worlds to be really productive.
Exactly, there's no logic behind that. No point of attacking Finland or Norway, and they protect Sweden's border. And to attack Sweden you need to go through harsh environment, going through another country, facing world's anger etc to gain exactly what? No logic behind that. Seems more probably Norway would attack Sweden :)
That would be true if you could just reliably find money on the street.
How do I change values? I tried clicking but all I get is a notification saying it's been copied to clipboard.
Obvious epiphany to be had here is that you cannot use the government to subsidize your investment in S&P. At least not legally, and to my knowledge.

At college, you can live a pretty comfortable life. You get a place to live, food to eat, work to do, material to learn, friends to talk to, supervisory staff to help you with hard problems, etc.

I hate to say it, because I think US higher education costs are absolutely ridiculous, but I still think that higher education is more rewarding than working a salaried job for a couple years to dump some money into S&P. I'd even go so far as to argue that people who have graduated a college or university are more likely to be prepared to safely, responsibly handle problems that occur in the real world moreso than someone who just happens to have a lot of money from S&P. I know that's a bit vague, but I think my point is clear enough that having wealth is not a replacement for having a satisfactory, stimulating wealth of knowledge and a sense of purpose for one's life. Not to knock people in finance, I love finance, but it's not for everybody and if the whole next generation of college students just decided to structure their whole lives based on how much money they're LIKELY (ie, not necessarily guaranteed) to make, then it'll be a boring generation that the next one has to learn from.

Student loan debt regulations need a rethink. How can we:
a) not lose money from paying for kids' school

b) not fuck kids over, incurring hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt for admittedly mediocre education (compared to some euro schools, or asian schools)

c) keep new system automated enough to reduce politician's potential for corruption by manipulating the money

and d) provide some sort of transition schedule to move current students (paying traditional loans off) to new system, without fucking over agencies/firms that are rightfully owed

???

We owe our kids better solution than this

Author here.

I always wanted to create a search engine that allowed a person to linearly progress his learning and visualise everything in a way that makes sense. Representing information in this way is incredibly beneficial as it allows to cover any knowledge dependencies a person might have.

This way there should be no time wasted in finding the resources that are needed and allows the person to just learn.

Everything is open source and all maps can be improved by the community in case there is a better way to learn the topic or there exists some useful resource to aid learning of the topic.

I hope you like it. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Is this distinction equivalent to satisfiability of the contract wrt any case vs satisfiability of the contract wrt this case?

How do you constrain "any case" to something reasonable, or does it need no constraining?

My tuition costs in 1995 were $2500/year for an engineering degree. So given the numbers the OP used, he would be wrong.

In today's environment, however, I might be inclined to agree. When I went to school, I could get a minimum wage job for the summer, and pay for tuition and dorm fees for the year. Education costs are wildly out of whack and something needs to be done to cut down these costs, because at this rate, I will NOT send my two kids to college. I'll tell them to open up a business or something, because it's simply not worth it.
The list which the author introduces with the words "This, then, is what Theresa May is proposing:" sounds mad to anyone who knows anything about cryptography but they (Theresa May doesn't differ much from her western colleagues here!) really mean it! So even though they will not be able to fully succeed in reaching their goal, they are going to make our digital lives very, very miserable if we don't find a way to short-circuit such insane plans asap!
Unfortunately he might have a good point; but the path he took doesn't really show it.

It would be more difficult because you should be looking at the cost of education; the average income of the person who has graduated.

Unfortunately you will need to do something for each skin color because they discriminate against minorities and other different variations. (Not being straight; too flamboyant, etc)

discrimination is a very big thing in America; lots of false sense of entitlement.

No need to call it racism; it's much bigger than that.

> Footnote; I have a form of Autism that makes lenders not want to work with me.

Happens in all shapes and forms. If you are a woman or if you are black; if you go to a Chinese banker you will have better luck as a asian or white person.

Something we need to work on; it's going to take hundreds of years and we need to keep at it.
I don't understand what you mean by this. Say a grandparent left a grandchild 50k for college. It's the grandchild's money. The grandchild could choose to invest in college or the market. This may not be a common scenario but that's what I meant.

Some more idle thoughts [1] refining what I wrote elsewhere on this thread:

FreeCAD Arch is a smart pivot: they just need to do a hard fork from the rest of FreeCAD and replace Open CASCADE with CGAL.

History based parametric MCAD is hugely resource intensive and the 800lb gorilla SOLIDWORKS is formidable.

Best idea stay away!

If that doesn't put you off:

(1) replace history based with direct modeling

(2) have a single curved surface type of G1 (and approx G2) sheets of some closed set of implicit quartic surfaces - e.g. Dupin Cyclides or some appropriate generalization. Get very good at intersecting these!

Some jobs are only accessible with a college degree (dental hygenist, etc.) If you didn't have a college degree you couldn't get access to those jobs and you then may have a more competitive job market for those jobs that do not require a college degree. Thus without college there would be more people in the bottom pool of job seekers thus increasing competition and likely lowering wages in that bottom pool, and it will likely raise the wages of those who do have college education when they are seeking jobs that require that degree.

It sort of seems like we have too many educated people and not enough good jobs that require that education. That seems like the fundamental problem.
