They generally won't cover housing and food costs to make up for the lost wages while going to school, especially if you have a family to feed. One might make it working part-time so long as you have a spouse to help you out. But hey, folks get lucky. Others don't, though, and still wind up paying for some books and fees on top of taking out loans. Not to mention buying things like a current computer, making sure to have internet access (lets face it, with a job, kids, and school, you probably aren't making it to the library), and so on.

Afterwards, you'll need to pay that student loan back. You get 6 months before you start paying it back. You might not even find a decent job at all.

There are income-based payment plans. They require not falling behind on your loans most times, and even if they don't the private company collecting might make you think that way. If you can't pay and stupid things happen, they'll garnish your wages. 25% (ish), but they'll make sure to leave you a salary equal to 30 hours work at minimum wage. They'll take your tax returns too.

And as an odd fact: It really ins't possible to take out loans for part-time schooling if you want to get a bachelors degree: Federal student loan funding stops after 6 years, at which point you must pay off the first year's loan to get another year. (I think full time does 5 years). You might be able to get an associates or professional certificate at the local community college, though, if you are lucky enough to have one in your area (many do not).

I know this isn't everyone's story, but this stuff is common enough to consider as a risk factor. It might have been a way to financial stability at one time, but it isn't such a sure thing anymore.

> For all its warts, the Windows Store is a secure app delivery platform.

For some value of $secure, yes. It's has package integrity checks, sure, but there's plenty of PUPs, adware and spyware in apps that for some corporate networks are considered a no-no.
I bought my son a new laptop earlier this year. It is something like ten times faster than his old Linux laptop (my old hand-me-downs), yet it boots slow and is sluggish with Windows where his old Linux setup was fast. I haven't had it freeze, but I've spent far more time solving problems with his new laptop in the last few months than in the last few years of having him use Linux. If it wasn't for some of the games he likes that aren't available for Linux, I'd have insisted he stick to it.

Maybe they're not common problems, but it's certainly not just him that find it gives a poor experience.

> It's all about intention. You can work to be more reasonable if you choose to. You can teach people to be more reasonable. Its a skill, a quality that everyone healthy can choose to practice or not.

This applies to people on the left and the right. Choosing not to compromise on anything is as aspect of someone's personality which is independent of their political beliefs. You cannot unequivocally state that this mentality only applies to people on the right.

> I don't even know what right or left leaning imply. That whole categorization is a joke.

It's mostly because America has a two party system that you get a massive amount of political spectrum concentrated under the categories of "Democrat" and "Republican"

Go abroad and look at how many parties other countries have in politics:

Canada: Liberal, Conservative, NDP, Green, Bloc Québécois

UK: Conservative, Labour, LibDem, SNP, DUP, Green

France: En Marche!, National Front, Republicans, La France Insoumise, Socialist Party, ...

Germany: CDU/CSU, SPD, Die Linke, Green, FDP, AfD
Are you making an argument for or against Bitcoin now? What you basically said is: people who deal in illegal goods using Bitcoin are not criminals because they will never be caught thanks to Bitcoin and mixers.

Bitmixer.io guy/girl and others over there call them criminals and say they do illegal things (i.e.: weapons and drugs) using Bitcoin and mixers. Your distinction is really a moot point and being so pedantic serves no one and just looks stupid.
> It's clear that if everyone only went to work half as much we'd only need to build half the roads and trains and airports.

Not only is this not "clear", it's also false. To connect two towns, you need 1 road. If everyone only went to work half as often, you still need 1 road – you can't have 0.5 roads. And if people work half as much, but only 4 hours per day, you wouldn't save anything.

Sure, with less utilization comes less need for maintainance, but not all wear and tear results from direct use.

Overall I like listening to either instrumental stuff or stuff I've never heard before, I feel like listening to songs with words that I know becomes a distraction somehow.

Interestingly, while driving and doing chores it's the exact opposite - I'm always relistening to songs I've heard a million times :)

Interesting idea. Do you have a mechanism where a moonlighter(?) doesn't get matched in a specific geography, industry or set of companies? Presumably your workers are being employed somewhere and not all employers are friendly towards moonlighting.

Also, I'm curious if you have researched the legal framework around moonlighting coupled with non-competes. My limited understanding was it is very state-based. NY, CT are not permissive while CA is very permissive. If you figured this out, there might be a lot of value to unlock.
the proper password list part really is the challenge.

I don't really follow Ethereum, but from headlines on Hacker News I've learned that

1. Ethereum is difficult to work with

2. Its difficulty does not provide security

This doesn't exactly inspire confidence in it.

Some comments on this article imply that this was just a scam, so maybe Ethereum is secure. I think that a lot of people learn about things they don't care about via headlines, which may be damaging for Ethereum in its infancy.
Save menu? The snipping tool disappears as soon as release the mouse button, there is nothing else you can do with it.
Yes exactly. Costco often does the same thing... for example, they'll have a WD Passport 2TB USB 3.0 Passport drive, same specs as you'd find at Amazon, Best Buy, etc. except the packaging is different (one of those "stand up cardboard placards with blisterpack" things) and maybe it's also missing a case. /BUT/ it will also be a different model number. And also sometimes the warranty is different.

Sometimes you care about the differences, sometimes you don't. But consumers should realize the point you made (the not-quite-same aspect).

You can set whatever rate you want. You can set 1000$/h, but of course, no one will hire you. Anyhow, my rate on Toptal is much higher than what I could get as a senior dev in my country, so it is good for us and as I can tell from reviews much of the world. Devs from the USA complain but from what I can see there are still many devs on Toptal from the USA and many Toptal events in the USA. So to each, it`s own.
Another good thing is that you can be part of Toptal and have it be a backup source of work. You can choose your availability without any penalties.
As for the companies/clients of Toptal. They get tested devs, guidance (for inexperienced clients) and they have mediators (Toptal) who would guarantee the quality of the devs and intervene in the case of a problem.
It is best rated freelance platform, for a reason.
The 'killer app' for the time being are indeed ICOs. Unregulated, messy ICOs.

I do think it is too early to judge the cryptocurrency world or blockhain in general for not having 'killer apps'. Analogies to the early internet are no good either since there is no reason as to why this would behave like that. Time will tell. Can't deny it is an interesting space!

> How is an error differentiated from a panic?

I'm using them for the same purpose, but panic is rust-specific whereas error is not.

> Can a panic as is caused by the OOB situation I described be recovered from, or is it necessarily fatal?

Technically it can be recovered from[0] but practically it usually should not be. Panics should not be used as an exceptions system. An OOB panic is basically a failed assertion. If OOB is a normal part of your operations, use a panic-safe access method (e.g. slice::get[1] which returns an Option<&T>)

I had a huge hurdle using Uber - after trying it once with someone else, I am now am a power user. I just cannot make the jump to AirBnB. I have friends who use it a lot. I found the rates paid by myself and friends are very similar .. when asked why not just use a hotel, my friends point at quaint/unique experiences, etc. I realized that this is not my thing (I don't "get" blue apron either FWIW).

Indeed it is. Could you please elaborate?
One of the (many, many) reasons I ditched OS X after more than 10 years and went back to Linux and Windows, depending on the task at hand, is the removal of the colored Finder labels.

What an inane reason, you may say.

But IMHO it was one of the best features ever introduced into desktop computing. Simple, easy to see colored backgrounds that you could assign to files to organize or tag them as you saw fit. (seen/not seen, reviewed/not reviewed, good/bad/meh, and so on)

Maybe Mac users are less vocal about the removal of features (or they are simply fewer) but this kind of blatant disregard for the needs and established workflows of your customers has a long term effect on a company's image.
If you're interested in this kind of thing, dc_predictor.cc might be fun to look at. It computes the predictors in parallel (rather than the usual 'do the same thing to 32 pixels') because here pixels depend on causal neighbor pixels.

Women's Indian Cricket Team: Evolution from the Tough Times to Glory
I did a quick search of the forums but didn't find anything related to this. I came across this page on the FCC's site that states deauth attacks and jamming of WiFi are illegal in the US as of January, 2015. They also state the following:

In addition, we reiterate that Federal law prohibits the operation, marketing, or sale of any type of jamming equipment, including devices that interfere with Wi-Fi, cellular, or public safety communications. Detailed information about the prohibition against jamming is available on the Commission’s website at http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/jammer-enforcement.

If you read the example they gave about a Marriott hotel deauthenticating users it appears the FCC doesn't know the different between that and jamming a signal. Of course they added that catch-all statement that any device that interferes with WiFi communications is illegal. Page 2 of that document states that no commercial establishment is allowed to block WiFi communication but the next paragraph down has the quote I posted above. It would appear that using the deauth feature of the Pineapple is now illegal, unless if I'm misinterpreting this.
Assuming that's true, do you have any theories on why people who seem to have liberal bias (++) end up pursuing journalism, research, and teaching?

(++): And, I'm not even sure what the colloquial definition of liberal means anymore. It seems like it's a word used to thought-shame people with whom one disagrees.
Nah. He's referring to Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

Also, this entire conversation is really ignoring how networks like Fox News and NPR work. When they play to their audiences they're not really concerned with biases, they're concerned with playing to their audiences. Each network will probably guarantee its listeners/viewers 2-3 hours of solid reporting per day. For Fox News its when Brett Baier and Shep Smith come on. For NPR its Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

The websites on the other hand do traffic in pushing stories they believe their audience wants to hear, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms and I think all sides of this argument need to acknowledge that hard news happens only a minority of the time and the rest of the time is spent on soft news (infotainment, talk shows, etc.). I think its also important for us to be able to recognize that soft news is almost always going to be biased because its main purpose is to entertain you with information rather than inform you.

Also, NPR sits somewhere between cable and broadcast news. I say that because NPR, like broadcast news channels, has local affiliates all over the country that raise their own funding and do their own reporting. If I'm not mistaken its your local affiliate who chooses what you listen to for news and who buys programs throughout the day.
Thanks for pointing that out. It should work fine now.
Google's PDF search incorrectly processes text in a multi-column layout
Search for the following terms: Assessment_of_C-band_synthetic_aperture.pdf "Delta-T radar"

The only PDF result is found because the content processor reads two columns as a single line.

Now, search for: Assessment_of_C-band_synthetic_aperture.pdf "Delta-T Devices Ltd."

No results are found. While it's possible you might not mind the false positive reading across columns, users of Google's search expect it to be capable of differentiating between text in two columns of a PDF.

@Google is this something that can be fixed? I'm assuming it cannot, as it's been like this as far back as I can remember. Note that I rely on you everyday, and thank you immensely for your work.

Out of curiosity, how is the 32-bit space insufficient?
It's surreal. If a legal hammer doesn't come down on ICOs and smart contracts soon, it's simply going to be rational to either hack other parties' smart contracts or start ICOs just to get "hacked."

I don't really see a downside right now, aside from ethics. It doesn't seem like any of the hackers have been prosecuted or even lost the coins. They can just slowly tumble them and...move on with their lives, newly rich.

I mean I really don't see how this is sustainable. Incentives for not doing this are rapidly evaporating, which will create systemic instability and erode confidence in the currency. But in the meantime you can acquire a fortune in what seems like a pretty straightforward, low risk way.

If a new laptop is slow something must be wrong. Such as it having a mechanical disk. It might not seem like a big problem but it's almost a complete no go with win 10. If there are performance issues/freezing on a machine with 8GB and SSD then something is wrong and you should contact the manufacturer, chances are a bios or driver update will fix it
fwiw the VM's instruction set seems just fine, the problem entirely lies within the crap programming languages available at this time. This seems to all be fixable if someone comes around and designs a language that makes it harder to shoot yourself in the foot.
