But there are things we do ban other people from doing (e.g. murder or owning slaves, to pick uncontroversial examples). There are some principles that are personal, but also some that are agreed on collectively, as a society or civilization.

Of course, then nobody "leaves us alone" on these things, but we agree by majority on first principles and then argue from those to collectively decide what is allowed and what isn't (i.e. allowed from the people and allowed from the government). Free speech and privacy are examples of such principles. So you can definitely have a social contract where mass surveillance is unacceptable, but rules on not hunting endangered species or owning certain type of weapons can exist[1]. I don't think May should be prevented from arguing for surveillance, but by the same token, people also have a right to oppose her on it.

Yes, this opens us to the possibility of losing the debate on encryption, at particular times and historical periods. Whereas having the iron clad rule that all can do as they please does not. But the later rule, applied in extremis, makes civilization impossible. Because again, we do want to ban people from doing certain things, that is what civilization means. The point that we need to argue is that banning people from having privacy causes more harm to what makes us human than a few horrific crimes do.

The anarchist posture is... complex. But the (absolute) libertarian posture is hypocritical. It wants a very particular set of rules to apply and be enforced by the state (e.g. private property), whereas decrying rules and state enforcement in general.

[1] And U.S. gun-owning folks agree on having rules against owning some kinds of weapons, I would think. At the very least I have never heard one argue for their god given right to own an ICBM on 2nd amendment grounds... is just that we disagree on the type of weapons that should be controlled.
The problem is that people are long education and short learning. Learning is free and useful. We should all do more of it.
> My mentor suggested to stay at Google until I find an interesting startup idea to work on.

and

>I want to spend 6 months in SE Asia and travel the world before starting my company.

You may spend months trying to "find an interesting startup idea" to work on here and come up empty, whereas if you take off and spend even 1 month in SE Asia and the developing world, you might discover tons of startup ideas that are really worth solving for the 3rd world.

I know of several Indian-Americans who traveled in India for a few months, and built cost-effective phones that work on very low bandwidth, apps that help buy stuff in an almost all-cash economy.

A low-risk option would be to take a month off from Google (vacation) plan your trip in advance, visit just 1 single SE Asian country (Vietnam, India, Thailand whatever you fancy) and see what happens.

These countries also have coworking spaces with Hi speed internet, so you could in theory, take action on a startup idea, and build an MVP in a month's time (or even less) and drop it on the internets and see what happens.
No, education in America is expensive. If tuition was free or cheap, you could work part-time to pay living expenses and take more time to finish your degree as many students in Europe do.
Read a book recently called "Big Ear" by John Krauss. He talks about degaussing ships in WWII since Germany was using magnetic mines.
Thanks for a fresh look. Yes, first encounter can be putting off. Clicking "OK" makes it open local app which you don't have, but it would be silly to have "clear localStorage" button right?

3rd party software is getting better sandboxed every year, hopefully it soon will be in Mac App Store.

I found that investing in bitcoin has outperformed the average post college job. (I conducted my research by comparing 20,000 invested in a college in 2010 vs 20,000 invested into bitcoin in 2010.)

But is the benefit society gets from a college educated populace really worth the cost? I feel like there are a decent number of degree programs which we would never get a return on our investment for subsidizing, so making it free for studying any topic seems foolish. Plus, job specific training could be just as good or better than a 4 year degree in many cases, and that would take far less time and be much cheaper.
For web apps, this is possible using Chrome and the style editor. Very effective way of live editing visual styles. Functionality is a different beast though
On the other hand, one should wonder why college is so expensive in the US in the first place. Even without any subsidies, non-American tuition is a fraction of the cost of the big universities in the US. Why? Why are book so expensive here? Why is so much money spent on buildings, stadiums and hiring football coaches? The highest paid public employee in 39 states in the US is a college sports coach! [1]

Throwing more money at this problem will hardly combat this issue (it's an issue in my opinion).

I don't regret time spent getting higher ed, but I 1) worked while studying 2) didn't end up with debt 3) didn't do it in the US. I honestly have no idea what I would do in US with 100k+ debt load projected at the end of college. I wasn't that financially educated at 17-18... I don't think any common school even cares to give such tools to people. I guess I am lucky I hadn't have to face this problem, but I am kind of terrified what would happen with all that debt load and which social consequences it will bring.
Can we please not vote this fucking boot back into power?
Exactly! I'm actually bewildered why some people think visual programming is a good idea at all.
Non-technical person's reply:

Don't be silly! I understand the interpretation of information in a conversation; if someone were doing this I could tell. But I don't understand cryptography mathematical mumbo-jumbo. Therefore these two situations are nothing alike. Let's ban crypto.
Imagine how many people who just graduated with useless degrees but could have been btc millionaires... Thanks for the advice dad!/s
Also, when you don't fight the real issue, which is that we shouldn't want backdoors in the first place, all those agencies can offer their backdoor to the decision makers (maybe it even happened with DUAL_EC - who knows? maybe already happening as we speak), and when all decision makers hear is "impossible" and "impossible", but never "don't do that", they will silently agree and you wouldn't know a damn thing about it.
>Actually, banning encryption apps may be good for privacy, because you never know if the app maker made some backdoors in their encryption method and he already sells your information to somebody.

IMHO, the answer to this lies in Open Source + reproducible builds/compilation. Not in banning/not using apps that promise privacy.

If what you're trying to achieve is awareness about the possible false sense of security (when not appropriate), then the answer is educating people about it.

EDIT: Typos/Grammar.
Nice! For constraint solving, I can also highly recommend to look into Prolog for some useful ideas.

For example, consider the use case of Rosetta that is shown on the page. In Prolog, we can express it as follows: First, let us define suitable operators, so that we do not need so many parentheses:

:- op(200, fy, ∧).
:- op(200, fy, ∨).
:- op(200, fy, ¬).

With these definitions in place, we can implement the SAT solver that is shown on the page as follows:

sat(F) :- interpret(F, t).

interpret(∧Ls0, T) :-
maplist(interpret, Ls0, Ls),
apply(and, Ls, T).
interpret(∨Ls0, T) :-
maplist(interpret, Ls0, Ls),
apply(or, Ls, T).
interpret(¬Expr, T) :-
interpret(Expr, T0),
not(T0, T).
interpret(t, t).
interpret(f, f).
interpret(v(f), f).
interpret(v(t), t).

apply(and, Ls, T) :- foldl(and, Ls, t, T).
apply(or, Ls, T) :- foldl(or, Ls, f, T).

and(t, t, t). and(t, f, f). and(f, t, f). and(f, f, f).

or(t, t, t). or(t, f, t). or(f, t, t). or(f, f, f).

not(f, t). not(t, f).

Thus, we can post:

?- sat(∧[v(R),v(O),∨[v(S),v(E),¬t], v(T), ¬v(E)]).
R = O, O = S, S = T, T = t,
E = f ;
false.

On backtracking, all satisfying assignments of variables to truth values are reported. In this concrete case, there is only a single solution.

Interestingly, the Prolog version can not only be used to find satisfying assignments, but also to generate whole formulas that evaluate to true:

?- sat(F).
F = ∧[] ;
F = ∧[∧[]] ;
F = ∧[∧[], ∧[]] ;
F = ∧[∧[], ∧[], ∧[]] .

However, this particular enumeration is called unfair, since there are true formulas that will never be generated.
>to just use the public key as the identifier instead of the email.

it's exactly how it is now. Email has no "weight", it's just a label.

What are your systems? What about 24-word mnemonic as a second option? I personally hate those, and don't want to enforce it.
Skipping all of school has even higher returns. If you just invested all the money that would normally go to pay for your K-12 school and college each year, then by age 25 or so you'd have enough money to retire.

The problem is that even if your parents home school you, they're generally not allowed to just not pay millage.
5 layers is AlexNet, which is a decent starting point for visual tasks.
I'm also deeply concerned about "backdoors for the good guys". Beyond just worrying about who else could get access, the "good guys" really just means government, and my comfort level with the current Trump administration using their "good guy" backdoor for a noble purpose currently sits at zero.

All that being said, how do we the tech community solve Theresa May's problem? Her philosophy is "if we knew more, we could have prevented this." Is that the right philosophy? Is there some other mechanism to authorize "legitimate" access to encrypted data?
combined with:

- people not familiar with how rear wheel drive cars are different from front wheel drive cars.

- people not familiar with how a vehicle that has a near 50/50 spread of weight between the front and rear axle is different from a more standard vehicle.
It won't be necessary to ban ambiguity directly - the effect will be accomplished by harshly policing any problematic potential hidden meaning as "subversive" or "hate speech". It will then be wiser to avoid such constructions.

Of course it raises the question of what constitutes forbidden speech. To answer that I would look towards the opinions you are already frightened to voice publicly.

What would the United States Code look like as some painting or interpretive dance?
What about entering the workforce, make enough to cover cost of living, and then go back to college?
Even harder with pictures, searching and, sharing, and refactoring:

"Joe has been way too busy yesterday. What did you ask him to do in the last week?"

"Yeah, that's too much. Just ask Jessica to do the emails going out next week."
It will come. Nothing today. The leap that needs to be made is actually in the data structures themselves but I understand your skepticism until it arrives.
We already provide free college to the best performing students and those students very likely achieve much higher ROI. I benefitted from a four-year tuition, room, and board scholarship from my college, as did my brother and sister from theirs. However, only a fraction of a percent receives academic scholarships and a good portion of scholarships go to star athletes instead.

The German system is nearly comparable. Only 10% of Germans are accepted to Gymnasiums followed by Universitat. If you test highly enough to qualify there, your college is free. Other students get free trade school.

Perhaps America should expand scholarships to more students instead of eliminating them along with other cuts? We seem to have far too much money for sports programs and war while cutting everything else. I've never seen any highly-placed leaders propose that war plans involve a cost-benefit analysis or that cuts should go to the men's football team.
Tuition != education. Tuition pays for far more than education, administrative costs are skyrocketing (look it up) and colleges spend like drunk sailors because competition on tuition costs is nearly non-existent (you'll take the loan anyway, so what does it matter the 10% difference in loan size?) and raising tuition won't result in significant application drop (since most applicants are either subsidized or take loans anyway).
My older brother is an IT manager, I'm a Principal Engineer at Amazon, my sister has worked variously in real estate, finance, and education.

"Out of the Crisis" by W. Edwards Deming. The author was one of a handful of people who helped the Japanese apply methods of statistical control to their manufacturing processes, which in turn helped them to become an economic superpower after their country's occupation by the Allies. In the book the author takes a deep look at the problems of management in the United States, and provides a list of reforms that would lead businesses "out of the crisis". I only recently learned of W. Edwards Deming, and I wish that I had known about him much earlier.
> Say a grandparent left a grandchild 50k for college. It's the grandchild's money.

Well if somebody gives you money for X it's not really your money since you are not at liberty to spend it however you want. Only X is technically yours.
That's all true of tech as well. People should seriously ask why women aren't choosing tech careers, because the "old boys club" or "frat culture" explanation isn't at all unique to tech.
I went to two years of community college for under 2k. My parents invested in a state program when I was younger which promised to pay for 4 years of state schooling. Not sure exactly how much they put in, but had you withdrawn the amount to use it for private schooling it was like 10k, so I'm assuming not much more than that.

Because community college was so cheap, I was able to use that other funding to pay for a graduate degree and part of my PhD program.

It's not expensive, people just have goofy ideas about what being educated means.
As automation replaces low-skill jobs, the wage premium may actually skyrocket for those who are able to get a job.
You failed to refute the point by trying to start a frivolous discussion about the statistics, so now we are moving to ad-hominem. Well done. Let's do it. rubs hands

What I have to say about is: that's just your opinion. The opinion of someone with a very vague, indirect, uncommitted language. Just say what you really mean, and why.

I have an idea of what it might be, but it would better if you said it:

- Elaborate a bit more on how Western society has been "dysgenic". Are you trying to push for eugenics here on HN?

- Elaborate a bit more on what do you mean by "lately".
I was under the impression that this was already true to some degree in the US. Am I mistaken?

But all you're really saying with sports coach comment is that, among people in a sector that is not profit-oriented or known for high wages, the highest paid employee is the biggest differentiator of success ("amateur" participants notwithstanding) for a lucrative entertainment business. That's not really surprising on its face.
The top paid coach there is Nick Saban; Alabama football made over $100 million in revenue last year.

College is expensive because debt is cheap because of the expansion of pensions and retirement accounts as a proportion of the economy.
To secure its passage into the Atlantic.

Russia is (defacto) the world's largest land locked country.

It possess no warm water ports which are open to the high seas.

This reality shaped Russian expansion and regional and global geopolitics since the 19th century.

A warm water port is why Russia invaded Korea(and Manchuria) 3 times, it's why it would go to a war with NATO over Ukraine and why it would not let Syria fall.

Russia's only open port is in Vlodivostock and its closed for 4 or more months of the year and its on the other side of the world.

To access the Atlantic Russia needs to cross the Great Belt and the North Sea, to access the Med it needs to cross the Bosphorus, Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles.

This means that to get anywhere it either needs to set sail from the other side of the world if it's not winter or pay a toll fee to NATO.

Global warming might actually play into Russia's hands, they are far north enough not to be affected by the drought, they are a bread basket, rich in natural resources, have a small population, and will reap the benefits the northern passage and their eastern ports open all year round.
The project with the fastest built time I worked on was between 20-30 mins for a full build (on a dual socket desktop, significantly more on virtual machines); incremental builds were much faster, well below the minute, but touching some critical header files is always painful. This is in the order of 1 milion lines, but a lot is unfortunately in headers.

The slowest was an 8 hour overnight build for a subset of all targets. The build would also randomly fail because of race conditions in a broken build system. I don't remember the size, but probably multiple 10s of millions of lines.

Structurally, a program is also similar to music. A program, if we view the bytecode, is read linearly by default but may have jumps at certain points forwards or backwards, like a coda in musical notation.
You should check the ROI on starting a business. That's one of the most common ways to lose your entire investment.

If your kids are smart, they'll likely have little trouble going somewhere for free. Even Norway or Germany would be options.
In addition to that, the bank knows what they get back if you default on your loan: your house. If you want to invest in the market, the bank has no idea what stocks or funds you'll be investing in, and can't even remotely guess at what they'll get back if you default.

I think if drag and drop builders find an audience it will be in a sweet spot between engineers and clients, maybe used by support engineers or customer success to build and modify applications to client specifications. Technical users will always want more control and in my experience clients are happy to pay for someone else to do the work, even with DND (I've worked at two companies that have built DND form/app builders, neither caught on much with clients).
There are probably several angles on this. One is to let our Authentiq ID mobile app support and sign in to SecureLogin sites. Another to let websites that use Authentiq automatically support sign-ins with SecureLogin. These look feasible at first sight.

A third, replacing our current auth flow with SecureLogin indeed isn't likely to work for reasons you mention.
I doubt it's negative. You can make that money working at McDonald's in Denmark in 3 years.

I still think college is worth it long term, but it's not really a negative cost, it's an investment.
I've interviewed many people for starting position in software. I've looked at their degree only if there's literally nothing else to look at, and even then it wasn't a major sign. I've seen many people with degrees that are useless, and many people who were very skilled and who I don't even know whether they have a degree and what it is worth.

It goes like this: 1. Experience 2. Experience 3. Experience 4. Knowledge 5. Some interviewing skills won't hurt too, since somehow interviewer needs to get to know you a bit 6. Problem-solving skills .... 20. Degree.

NB: for bigger companies, it may be different as you need to pass HR screen which may do checkboxing. Fortunately, many are smart enough not to do that, but some do.
4% is inflation adjusted, it is not clear to me which is correct to compare to payscale numbers.

Also, do all of the companies linked to on https://sakurity.com/securelogin actually support this protocol? If not, linking to that page as "Who supports SecureLogin now?" is a bit disingenuous.

I didnt say anything about robots.

Labor efficiency is not just about having a robot take your order, it's the difference between a McDonald's where all the parts are pre-assembles elsewhere and a mom and pop joint where someone is hand-forming the patties.

Anyway, there is another article in this thread that explains how minimum wage increases tend to force the less efficient mom and pop joint out of business, thus accelerating the labor efficiency progress.

I'm for minimum wage increases, but I also believe that certain jobs will not exist with a high enough minimum wage. Any increase in minimum wage probably needs to be met with an increase in training/education.
The core problem is that K-12 schooling largely isn't for the benefit of children, but for the state. That's why the state pays for it and not private tutoring in child-lead learning. It's awfully convenient to have a populace indoctrinated into a shared set of cultural norms.

that's effectively only ~4 observations then (100/24). i wouldn't want to make a very important life decision based on data from only 4 observations.

with only 4 observations, "common sense" and other forms of first-principles reasoning are much more important than the 4 data points. also one should consider data from other countries and other historical eras.
But if you are the insurance of the Tesla driver, it's the other party (through insurance or directly) that will come after your driver, not you.

Many countries in Europe, even. Tuition in the UK is actually higher than it is in the US, though the terms of the repayment are quite a bit more forgiving.
That's a common misconception. Very few college athletic departments are in the black. And even among those, usually only football and men's basketball make any money at all. Sorry no link...should be easy to google statistics.
