lets have a more realistic conversation about the consequences of shunning and ostracizing people, even if those people are noxious (in some way).

does it really work? it seems to work in-so-far-as it purges specific communities of specific people. it doesn't remove those people from larger society and it most certainly doesn't change their mind. it makes them feel aggrieved to the point where they lash out with redoubled violence. it radicalizes people into extremists where before they may have merely been insensitive now they will be resentful and hateful.

backlash is a real thing and we ignore it at our own peril.

> People bemoan how expensive iPhones are and brag about how cheap you can get an Android phone. An iPhone is $600 but you can get an Android phone for $100! Then I ask which Android phone I should get and I'm told "Samsung Galaxy S8", which is the same price as an iPhone!

I know your being facetious, but the easy answer to that question is the Moto G5 Plus, which you can pick up for $230 in most any Best Buy or Costco in the US.

There are many other good choices there too.

> I'm told Apple laptops are too expensive, so I ask which Windows laptop I should get and I'm told a Surface, a Thinkpad X1 Carbon, an XPS 13... all of which are exactly comparable in price with a Macbook.

I don't think that's true. Apple store is down for WWDC today, but as of yesterday a 13' MacBook Pro is $1,300. The closest matching Dell XPS 13 is only $1,000. It has a lower resolution screen, but a newer gen processor and 10% more battery.

----

Fundamentally, Apple products carry a premium price. Some non-Apple products also carry a premium price (see the Surface Book as a good example). But that doesn't mean the "Apple Tax" (higher margins) aren't real, or that there aren't comparable products without it.

Again, the lineup is being refreshed today, so this may all change. But the Mac Pro is the typical perfect example of this -- you can build or buy a more powerful, smaller, faster PC including licensed Windows 10 Pro for much cheaper than a Mac, literally just a small fraction of the Mac Pro's current price.

Amazon's killer feature for this phone and the Indian market(which suffers from extreme levels of noise[1]) may be a great quality active-noise-cancellation at a very low-cost, and with USB-C analog support(so you can put noise cancellation chip in the phone), detachable cables, and Amazon audio/chip expertise it seems possible.

Just a warning for people, I was playing around with BTC the other day and not generating random entropy from urandom, just putting in a short string.

I found my BTC was stolen immediately when I did this. It wasn't a lot of coins, since I was just testing, but it certainly cost me some debugging time as I wondered how the extra transaction had occurred.

Basically, someone out there has already generated the keys corresponding to short strings and is keeping an eye on any transactions on them. Maybe more than one group, who knows?

Is that current or always? I went to college 2007-2011 and the first two years everyone I knew got 5.5k and 6.5k loans from the government and then private loans for the rest. After the great recession no one could get private loans anymore and the government filled in the rest
"However, instead of bloated bureaucracies and buildings that are unmaintainable at lower budgets, why didn't at least some colleges invest the proceeds into index funds to directly defray the costs to students, like at Yale?"

Investing implies that the tuition increases are not to make up for current budget shortfalls. This is often not the case. Many states, for example, cut the budget for higher education in 2008-2009 by the high double digits, with no real way for the universities in question to make that up.

"Or allocate to competitively recruit and retain proven professors with observable education outcomes (or invest in establishing metrics to identify such outcomes)?"

Honestly, because if they were doing it strategically to make up for the shortfall, they'd be competitively recruiting and retaining proven professors with a track record of funded research projects. Which is what they're doing, but that too is becoming more difficult as federal research budgets stagnate.
I'd love to see the "1984" commercial played right before that one to contrast how much Apple has changed. From a message of empowering people with technology to "You're stupid without us" condescension...
There's something funny about them reporting market-based emissions in the appendix. Mostly, that they're reporting them all the way back to 2011 when this was only approved by 2015. It's not really a big deal, but it's a bit unusual.

You can read a bit about the market-based scope 2 method here:

http://www.wri.org/blog/2015/01/scope-2-changing-way-compani...

Let me explain a bit: market-based emissions are electricity power grid emissions computed the market-based method. The method measures your emissions differently depending on whether or not you bought a green instrument. Roughly speaking, green instruments are money you pay the power company that they will invest into green sources of energy, like wind and solar.

Under the market-based method, if you bought a green instrument, you can then report lower emissions, as if all of your electricity only came from the green energy you purchased. Conversely, if an instrument was available for purchase but you didn't buy one, your emissions will look like they all came from non-green sources of energy, like coal (these are called residual emissions). Of course, this is all a bit of an accounting lie: when you use the power grid, you can't tell the power company to not send you electricity from their coal power plant. Therefore, you also have to report your location-based emissions, which is the "normal" reporting that has been used in all previous years and is still being used. Roughly speaking, the location-based method is, take the total emissions of the entire power grid you're using, and multiply that by your fractional of the power usage of the grid over all other customers. Your emissions are then computed as your proportion of all green and non-green emissions that the entire power grid produces.

The market-based method is supposed to incentivise companies to buy green instruments because they can then report lower emissions under one method. The purchase of green instruments in turn is supposed to incentivise power companies to invest in green energy. The whole thing, however, is kind of based on an accounting "trick". This is why the greenhouse gas analysts at my job aren't huge fans of the market-based method.

WRI was pressured by many industry leaders to adopt the market-based method as part of the reporting protocol. If Google is reporting market-based emissions all the way back to 2011, way before it was approved last year, I wouldn't be surprised if they were one of the companies that lobbied WRI to include the market-based method. They are also mentioned as a motivating example in that link above.

The Stingray is legally grayer. Carrier data is squarely within the third party doctrine.[1] The fourth amendment protects individuals' rights in "their persons, houses, papers, and effects." A carrier's billing records are not your papers and effects; they're the carrier's property, generated by the carrier for the carrier's own internal purposes.[1]

The Stingray, however, interacts directly with the suspect's cell phone. Third party doctrine becomes irrelevant at that point, and the government has to fall back to arguing that whatever a Stingray does is not a "search" or a "seizure."

[1] Doesn't mean the Supreme Court won't limit third party doctrine in this case.

[2] Say some nosy neighbor keeps a list every person that enters or leaves a house in a neighborhood. The resident of the house is murdered. The nosy neighbor's list shows that you entered the house the day of the murder. You can't assert a 4th amendment right as to the nosy neighbor's list. It's a paper that's about you, but it's not your paper.
It's not that simple. A huge part of what makes a particular college attractive is selectivity. Acceptance rates are tracked and reported.

Harvard and Yale are ranked so highly that they could get away with it. But they won't do it for other reasons. Mainly that they don't need the money coming in from tuition. If you take a private school a bit further down the list though, their rankings would tank if they accepted twice the students.

Also there are other limiting factors. Many colleges don't have the physical space to just double in size. Their isn't land for sale within walking distance of their current campuses. Adding satellite campuses is one way around that, but that adds logistical problems that will reduce desirability. In addition to satellite campuses not always inheriting the reputation of the main campus.

Additionally you can't simply double the student to faculty ratio b/c that would tank rankings, and hiring double the faculty takes time.

You also don't know which departments you need to scale beforehand. If you decide to double your enrollment in the next 5 years, which majors will the new students choose? It's unlikely the ratios would stay the same. Good programs don't always scale well either. If a department worked hard over the last 20 years to build a good reputation, they can't just hire 20 new faculty members and teach twice the number of students without impacting quality.

Schools do expand all the time, but it is a very slow process that by its nature can't keep up with a constant growth in demand.

Why "wrong"?

Certainly the idea of a book as active and film as passive dovetails with my own experience. Reading a book, well a story at least, to me is a creative process: I create the world the characters live in using the elements the author offers up. Watching a film I get absorbed, hopefully, in to a world that is a fait accompli.

Edit: I should say "more active", etc.. I'd agree with the OP that watching a film is still collaborative but in a markedly different way to reading a story.

I think a similar problem is people viewing belief in nonexistent things as harmful. Another issue is religions tend to couple idealized personalities with higher powers when there may not be a need to do so.

The value of an idealized personality we choose to believe we can strive toward is to tap into and/or guide our intuitions in the moment, especially in times of internal/external conflict.

The value of recognizing/acknowledging the existence of uncontrollable higher powers in the world/universe is to instill humility & define one's own limits/boundaries.

I don't think one should have to be a world or business leader to know that this kind of behaviour is wholly inappropriate. Sometimes (often) real life doesn't pamper us with slaps on the wrist or warnings when we do something completely idiotic. And if they somehow did not realize their behaviour was inappropriate, maybe they weren't quite mentally acute enough for Harvard in the first place and just got filtered out early.
I'm just starting out, so I'm using an all-in-one flatbed scanner because I have one available. It's really slow, especially when I up the resolution enough that OCR works usefully.

My plan is to step up to something like a Brother ADS-1000W[0] or ADS-1500W[1]. I also hear good things about Fujitsu ScanSnap scanners, but those are USB only. If you step up to Fujitsu's fi series you can get a network interface, but I think they're more expensive than the Brother models I'm looking at.

Regardless of the brand and model, the required features are that it has a document feeder, scans both sides of the page, and that it can save the output to a server without needing a computer to mediate it. The Brother scanners have WiFi and can save directly to an FTP server - Mayan can pick up PDFs from a filesystem directory, so it would be pretty easy to have stuff go right from the scanner into Mayan.

So it has become quite a bit harder to do this, as the package names have changed in Win10 and some of the commands in the 1st PS script I found do not work anymore to remove the "updated" packages. No, I cannot think of an example off the top of my head. Also there are reports of some the "features" coming back after updates, etc. I have had to delete all the tiles on the start menu by hand. OneDrive is still in your face on most systems, etc.

MS is making it quite hard to just cleanly remove the crap / adware / telemetry they build in.

This is often a completely reasonable thing to do. If your goal is to ship features quickly, using a new technology will just slow you down. If your goal is to learn new technologies then this is a problem.

So it depends what your goals are.

Also, worth keeping in mind that even if you're not using new technologies it doesn't mean you're not learning. There are many skills involved in programming than "knowing how to do X with Y". For example, knowing how to prioritize based on your goals. (So if your goal is shipping quickly you might be doing exactly the right thing.)

TLDs are qualitatively quite different than second-level domain names.

Do you have a link to the .eu actions you're referring to?

And the simplest answer is contracts. Every operator of a new gTLD has paid ICANN a substantial amount of money, has a contract to operate the TLD, and thus has certain legal rights. The TLDs cannot be taken away without good cause. There is no language in the contracts requiring a certain number of domains be launched by a certain date, so that cannot be justification for removing the operation grant. And of course contracts cannot be unilaterally changed.

I am not a lawyer, this is my personal opinion and not my employer's, all other disclaimers, please consult your own lawyer or Wikipedia if you have questions about contract law, etc.

> In that context, the differentiating power of Lisp seems to be around macros - a very powerful way to write programs that write programs. I have done my fair share of meta-programming with Ruby and I realized I really didn't want the power to change my program model at runtime. While they made certain things easier - like Rails's ActiveRecord (which is superb btw) - the "inception"-like indirection made things very hard to reason about.

The difference between metaprogramming in Lisp (lisp macros) and metaprogramming in a language like Ruby, is that writing macros in Lisp is really, really easy.

It is simply not much harder than writing a normal function.

Thus, while in other languages, doing metaprogramming is a special affair, in Lisp it is a piece of cake, and nothing special at all. Lisp also allows you to "expand" the macro to see what the macro would do when called. This is also very easy to do.

So, i do agree with your point, however let me rephrase it:
One of the most important differentiators for Lisp is really easy-to-write metaprogramming.
