>>I define a worthless degree as a degree where you could have learned the same skill on the job or at a trade school. This is the way your parent's generation did it. The degrees in this case are a waste of time and money. They provide false hope as well.

The primary reason 18-year-olds go to college is because they are told by their parents that it is necessary to get a good job afterwards. Indeed, the vast majority of white collar jobs in the USA require a bachelor's degree. Those with degrees implicitly or explicitly have a leg up on those who don't.

Not if we understand 'effective' to also mean 'cost & time effective'

You'd learn a lot by building a nuclear reactor from first principles, but it's not the most effective way to develop an intuition about how one operates.
Your full quote is: "Imagine the optics of replacing a sexist old man with another sexist old man. Worth the risk to shareholder value?"

Your statement implied that replacing one "sexist old man" (who we believe to be a sexist by something he said) with another "old man" is a risk to shareholder value because that replacement, by virtue of being a man and/or old, will also be a "sexist".

Your statement is passing judgment on a potential candidate without knowing anything about them simply based on their potential gender. That is definitionally sexism, the same sexism you are identifying as a risk to shareholder value. Perhaps you didnt mean it that way but that doesnt change the valid interpretation of the statement. The irony is that this sexist statement was made in a thread about an article of a guy who made a sexist comment (that cost him his job).

Indeed, but that would require a far more holistic approach than just dealing with the issue of smoking, it would require us to admit that stress and mental illness are becoming increasing factors in our modern urban lives but not everybody is equally equipped to deal with that, sadly it feels like we are a long way off from that point.

A while back I wondered if networks like facebook, electrical grids should have more direct user decision making.

I assume you did not open these tabs in a single browsing session. For quite a while, Firefox will not load and render all tabs on session restore, but that happens once you switch to such a tab. Therefore I would guess that these 800 "inactive" tabs will not add that much overhead no matter whether e10s is enabled.
There are other reasons— for example not wanting to unnecessarily mutate buildid values, since those are the keys for debug symbol archival.
I'd say a lot of the growth has been by exporting dirt and food to China and other Asian countries. This made Australia resistant to the GFC crashes because our raw materials were in great demand. It was also regardless of immigration as other countries with similar levels of immigration did not have the same economic success.

There is a known issue regarding Raleway due to aliasing in Chrome, see:

https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/74672/renderi...

Here's one bug which seems to have been tracking the issue with no resolution as of yet:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=152304

You can see in the final comment from November of 2015 that the issue was, and from my experience still is, massively affecting Raleway:

A couple of years ago there was a discussion in Netherland about increasing the retirement age from 65 to 67 because babyboomers were about to retire and the working population that would pay for it would shrink. (Also because people live longer; increasing retirement age is not unreasonable in itself.)

But because increasing retirement age just in front of people who were just about to retire would be too big a shock, it was decided to increase it slowly over a period of years. The end result is that all the babyboomers can still retire at or near 65, but it's the younger generations that have to keep working longer to pay for the boomers' retirement.

In the mean time, the mortgage crisis has undermined pension funds, which in some cases meant everybody had to chip in extra so the babyboomers could retire the way they were originally promised.

I have no idea where this is going, but I'm glad my retirement savings are actually my money rather than part of a fund that can be plundered or mismanaged by others. Dutch retirement funds are among the strongest in the world, but these past couple of years have seriously hurt people's trust in them.

I'm all for solidarity, but the solidarity has been a bit one-sided lately.
What would a very simple quantum program look like?
I develop with React but I do not have a Facebook account. I just don't get the uproar about Facebook, if you don't like what they do, you are not forced to use their product. You can choose to engage with a company or not. In my case I choose to engage with them in regards to their development contributions, but absolutely refuse to engage with them as a user.

Now don't get me wrong, I find Facebook and particularly Zuckerburg to be detestable, but no one is forcing me to utilize Facebook. I have a free choice to not engage. There has to be some amount of personal responsibility. Now I get that many times, as was the case with Sony, the consumer does not know about misdeeds until after the fact but with Facebook, at this time, their misdeeds are well know.

It is my opinion that those who continue to engage with Facebook are OK with Facebook's intrusion into their online affairs and that is fine, they see the value proposition different than I do. What Facebook offers is more valuable to them than their online privacy.

When Sony put a root kit on their music CD's and hacked millions of computer and got nothing more than a slap on the wrist, I made the choice to not engage in business with Sony. To this day I have not bought a Sony product, it has been painful at times (my boy wants a Playstation) but I don't have to engage in commerce with them and I won't because I do not agree with their ethics. If they had an opensource project that fit my need I would consider using it, as that is a different kind of engagement with the company. The same goes for a business relationship, I would not preclude Facebook or Sony from places that I would enter into a business relationship with, but they would be on mutually agreed upon terms and if I did not like the ethics of the contract (say I was contracted to develop a rootkit) I have the freedom and personal responsibility to disengage.

I think this gets to a deeper issue with society, in that if we don't like something, we are told/trained to whine about it until it changes, but the reality is people like Zuckerburg don't care about whiners and therefor nothing ever changes. Whereas when society valued personal responsibility more, it directly affected companies because people see it as their duty to disengage, which also means taking your money elsewhere. This is something the Zuckerburgs of the world understand. (please don't take this as I said you where whining. that was not the intent)
Haskell can be made very fast. The problem is that at least for me, performance is often quite non-intuitive. As in, make tiny change to program, it is now a hundred times slower. Then you get to hunt down the reason why it's now doing too much work/ why stream fusion isn't working anymore/why it's leaking so much space/etc for hours.

I enjoy writing Haskell for small hobby projects, but I doubt I would choose it for real work now that F# and Rust exist.

I'm not saying restrict services to non-citizens, I'm saying do not have the government pay for those services for non-citizens. If you pay a private company for health insurance then you should be covered by that insurance for the things that the government won't cover.

Blockchain already transformed economy; it brought fast international payments with small fees.
I agree with Vili Lehdonvirta's analysis about governance and wrote a similar conclusion previously.[1]

Yes, the concept of "money" existed before governments and therefore doesn't require government. That said, today's modern money is very much an instrument of government power. This is why alt-coins will not overthrow fiat currencies like some enthusiasts believe because Bitcoin does not come with its own Bitcoin-police-force and Bitcoin-law-courts.

The distributed block chain may eventually prove useful for other recordkeeping such as real estate property transactions (e.g. no need to pay $300 fee for title searches in the future), or maybe buy/sell internet domain names (e.g. don't need Verisign as middleman to buy dot com domains).
Those scenarios are more realistic than Bitcoin/Ethereum replacing government approved fiat currencies. DLTs may still transform the economy -- but not in the ways people expect.

There's definitely some interesting applications of distributed consensus ledger but the idea of bypassing government money is overhyping its potential.

It's not weird, it's a drive created by a billion years of evolution.

When all is said and done, what matters is passing on your genes. It's nice if you can bring up your kids in luxury, but the idea that it's necessary is rather nihilistic. You don't need to be able to afford an Ivy League education for your kids for them to be realized human beings.

If you live in a first-world country, and can feed and clothe your kids, and have space for no more than 2 kids/bedroom, what more exactly do you think you need?

Yep, and that's great! In your situation you also have the following choices:

1) Add it yourself

2) Pay someome who is an expert with Gitlab CE code, maybe even certified as expert but doesn't work for GitLab CE.

3) Buy a plugin made by someone on a marketplace, which has reviews, maybe passed a security audit, etc.

In short, I am not saying no one has to charge anything. I'm saying that in an open ecosystem there would be plenty of options. You don't thank wordpress they finally let you add analytics or privacy to your wordpress blog, like you would with blogger.com back in the day. You may still have to pay for the plugin BUT you don't have to wait for an overworked Automattic to build it. You have an entire ecosystem.

And to take it one step further, with open standards you can then have multiple platforms out there to choose from, which can all work with each other.

My contention was that this article is about least-effort methods (i.e. fopen() vs default SQLite) so a lot of Windows SQLite users are going to have Defender (or heaven help them, something much worse) installed.

Once you start getting into optimizations, much of this article starts to sway back and forth. Put enough effort into optimization, and you can outdo SQLite for a specific application, simply because SQLite isn't magic, it's just C. Well-written and highly-optimized C, but purpose-written code always has the potential to do better than general-purpose code.

The point of SQLite in general and this report in specific is that you get a lot of performance, power, and safety for free with SQLite as opposed to `fopen()` and such. Good performance while antimalware interferes is just one way this manifests.
it is quite simple in pandas, but as a said in another comment, your example is a bit weird, since it turns all values of x into the same. But this is how to do it:

> Maybe its time to go all in on the hacker community and make Firefox, a "Linux first" browser.

Considering that one of Mozilla's funding sources is tie-ups with Google and Yahoo (and others?) for placement as default search engine and getting money from those searches, a "Linux first" strategy could probably become a financial disaster. I'd rather have Mozilla continue to exist (there's no other company/foundation of equal competence and values to "save the web" to whatever extent possible). I'd prefer Mozilla to focus on providing great native experiences on Windows, Linux, macOS and Android (sorry if I missed other larger platforms where Firefox is available and used).

Since questions about crypto came up, here's a summary paper by Daniel Bernstein about it:

https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/314.pdf

Symmetric cryptography would be safe even with quantum computers (they just half the effective bit length of the cypher with Grover's algorithm, which can be compensated for by increasing the key length). Classical asymmetric cryptography would be in danger, but there are alternative systems for which no quantum based attacks are known. They can be a bit unwieldy to use and have much larger key sizes than what we currently use - but methods that are hopefully quantum-proof may exist. The Lamport signature scheme is probably one of the methods that is the easiest to understand.

Not all hope is lost for cryptography even with quantum computers.
It does if you take USA's "governance of Fed Reserve Notes" and EU "governance of Euro" as examples of the author's "governance of technology" or "governance paradox".

We've not found an optimal solution since moving off FirstClass BBS years ago (price and an every growing bloat of unneeded features).

Biggest FirstClass features we miss:
- Asynchronous (don't need to respond in realtime).
- Threads within topics/folders.
- Ability to mark item as unread.
- Confirmation that message had been read.

That ability to mark item as unread was extremely useful. I'd frequently read something, see it is important, but will take time to do. Simply, mark as unread and go on with life. It is there waiting later in the day (or tomorrow). The message originator knows I've seen the message.

Threads on Slack are clumsy. Tried using them and quickly abandoned them.
If you post this again and again please get your facts straight first: 2800 € is the amount for a single person. A married sole-earner in a family of four gets generous tax benefits resulting in 3300 € net (insurance included) plus 380 € child benefits. Substantially more I'd say.
> Those that will pay for it is the generation that lives through the cut, i.e. which has paid into the system before the cut but was due to receive money only after the cut. This can very well be a generation that is alive today.

I suspect I'll retire after the cut, but I'm glad I got out of the pension funds before the cut. I have a kind of private pension fund for freelancers, which, if I understand correctly, is technically already my money, so it can't be looted to fund the retirement of someone who retires before I do.

I am sad to see the solidarity of pension funds break down like this, and I feel a bit guilty that I'm leading the charge, but that solidarity has to go both ways. Expecting future generations to pay the entire bill for the greed and mismanagement of today, is not solidarity; that's exploitation.

My government will enforce a contract even if it is denominated in some foreign currency, will it not? Currency used is independent of jurisdiction.

They may award damages in legal tender, rather than in Bitcoin, but I have to pay taxes in legal tender anyway, so there will always be a market to convert back.

Right now they might be confused by Bitcoin enough that they won't effectively be able to assess damages, but that's not necessarily a permanent state of affairs.
What Is MobX? Why Use It with React? And How to Get Started?
You could probably probably get away with putting a single sqlite database on IPFS and using IPNS to point to the latest version and achieve the same thing. IFPS' block level deduplication means you'd only have to download the changes if the database receives a new update.

I'd like to see a decentralised database that doesn't require downloading the entire dataset. It should be possible to implement index-only queries that don't need to do a full table scan and therefore could run entirely in a browser. The only problem is that having an index for every possible query means the indices require more data than the dataset itself.

"The result is that we settle for low-paying entry level jobs. "

Should you be given a high paying mid-level job when all you have is a college degree and no experience? Shouldn't people start from the bottom and work their way up?

They pay for it.

And that's a can of worms. What are they paying for by the time they receive it. What is the physical point of receiving data? Which exchange is the data received from? Central data clearing house of data?

>My government will enforce a contract even if it is denominated in some foreign currency, will it not?

Sure, if usage of that other currency is trivial enough volume that it doesn't threaten the government's currency. That's the sticking point. Bitcoin is allowed to exist at the whim of the government.
