I'm going to play devils advocate here. I don't think I'd be in your target market primarily because I feel for 15k a year I can achieve a decent education just by online resources alone. It would be just as well recognized; I'd even think that a local community college could be cheaper. Granted, upfront cash is a luxury that few without the bank of mom and dad can access.

An Irish degree costs 3000 euros a year to enroll. Even for four years that would be cheaper than what's on offer here with a world wide recognized qualification.

On the whole, it seems like a very American solution to an American problem, education is just far too expensive in the states. * I'm a beneficiary of free state education from Ireland.

Best of luck in the effort, I do applaud you for it especially in the US where there are always tech shortages but...I really wish your country was in a place where your type of business didn't have to exist. A country where only those who can afford to be educated can receive education. I'm saying this as someone living in Nepal where those who can't pay can't learn either.

I really wish education was subsidized, worldwide! Alas, never going to happen.
No, but always form the strongest version of your argument that you are capable of. The dude who shot up the congressional baseball game a couple months ago was a Bernie supporter.
>Wikileaks was actively campaigning for trump. Wikileaks came out and said they had "proof" clinton was a witch for christ's sake

I have not seen that. What I've read is that one of Podesta's leaked emails reference something along the lines of "spirit cooking" or whatever (and whatever that was code for) and some people outside WikiLeaks (obviously conspiracy theorists on the right) ran with that as evidence she (not even Podesta) was some kind of witch.
If case you're curious - uc.edu is the site for Univ. of Cincinnati, so it has a pretty good claim on that abbreviation.

It's funny though - I recently moved to Cincinnati from the Bay Area - if I'm in Cincinnati and refer to UCSF, most people assume it's some division of Univ. of Cincinnati. So, I guess the ambiguity goes both ways.

There are plenty of houses out there that use on-street parking.

Guess nobody here knows the weights of either guitar. Here: Les Paul weighs generally 9 pounds. Steinberger XT-25 (the model I'm talking about) is 13 pounds. It will give you back problems playing it standing up for too long, this is why it comes with a built-in lap bar.
We all are.
Superchargers are not used to fully charge cars, because it's faster to stay lower in the battery -- supercharging is very slow for the last 20%. For this reason, superchargers are placed closer together than the maximum range of the car.

So no, supercharging does not take hours.
I'm currently working through a CLR via C# book club at work, so I'm curious as well. I know you can make WPF apps in F#.
But this case is about (using your analogy) someone standing on the street, photographing your building. You can't tell them they can't do it. If you don't want them knowing your apples are $1.25/lb then you need to remove that sign from your shop window.
Natural outcome of identity politics is hate and divisions among the populace. Expect country to get a lot crazier in the coming years. Social fabric is being stretched quite far.
The problem is that the Weimar government legitimized the brown shirts while denouncing the remnants of the Spartacus League. That's how Hitler came to power.

When you legitimize one group and denounce another, it leads to further instability.

I've never been on coffee. I only drink water since... forever.

It is true that getting coffee is kind of a social situation. But I'm ok just getting a hot chocolate or some other drink when I'm with people.

The thing about less ability to compensate lack of sleep. The way I deal with that isn't with sugar or caffeine. I just take naps. If I only got between 3-5 hours of sleep, I might need a 15-min nap but once I get that I'm good to go again.
Doxxing involves a distinguishable and important element, that is public shaming. It doesn't really need the involvement of police or whatever law enforcement.
It's easier to get a contiguous chunk of memory if you're able to wrangle it in the 64-bit space, then slice out a 4GB chunk for 32-bit code.
Not only that, some people leap to the conclusion that you don't drink because you're an alcoholic, and from there to the judgement that you're unreliable and untrustworthy. (Not that being an alcoholic makes you those things - but that's their perception learned from our culture.)

Another unhealthy thing about drinking culture is how it stigmatises teetotallers as some moralising oppressers (thanks Prohibition), when they might just not want to feel like shit in the morning.
I hope that was in jest, otherwise you demonstrate why discourse has ceased being reasonable.
I had a chance to try out the update at home and I'm happy with it. There's an 800K color temperature now that's accessible using the Alt+Shift+PgDown shortcut, and many more dimming increments (Alt+PgDown). I'm at 800K and the most dim it will go without entering "darkroom mode". I still wish I could make it more dim, but this is a good improvement.
From the intelligence community assessment [0]:

> The Kremlin’s principal international propaganda outlet RT (formerly Russia Today) has actively collaborated with WikiLeaks. RT’s editor-in-chief visited WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in August 2013, where they discussed renewing his broadcast contract with RT, according to Russian and Western media. Russian media subsequently announced that RT had become "the only Russian media company" to partner with WikiLeaks and had received access to "new leaks of secret information." RT routinely gives Assange sympathetic coverage and provides him a platform to denounce the United States.

Milo Yiannopoulos is a white supremacist?

I mean, he's a troll who is intentionally offensive, but either Slate doesn't know what they're talking about or they're lying. One thing he isn't is a white supremacist.

And Seb Gorka? According to his Wikipedia page, his father, Paul Gorka, was awarded a medal by Vitézi Rend in 1979 "in recognition of his resistance to the post-war Soviet occupation of Hungary". Slate seems to consider that evidence that he's a Nazi.
I remember this being envisioned in Popular Science magazine in the 1970s. The front cover image depicted a "fueling station" with fresh electrolyte pumped in through one hose while depleted electrolyte was pumped out through another.

I'm going to repost spaginal's comment, because it's worth reposting:

"Both [Neo Nazis and Antifa] were behaving violently, and [Trump] addressed it exactly as such. Unfortunately it ended with the death of a young woman, but the event didn't go from zero to 100 with the car incident. A lot was happening between the two groups to the lead up.
The media wants to build the case that anything against their messaging is extremist, they don't mention Antifa as being a huge instigator in the violence in this event as well, but we don't need them to tell us when we've witnessed it multiple times in California and other cities. Trump in this situation was literally the only adult in the room on this one. Just because he didn't get on board with the manufactured and editorialized talking points doesn't insinuate some nefarious connection to racism and the kkk. It's pretty obvious to most people that he doesn't harbor that ideology.
Fact is, in our country we have a right and an expectation to peacefully assemble in the public square, short of calling for insurrection or openly instigating a riot, Americans are allowed to get on their soapbox and other Americans can choose to ignore or listen.
What happened in Charlottesville was a travesty for civil rights and a complete mess where multiple violent hate groups in conjunction with an all too eager media put an embarrassing show on display."
I'ved used http://www.npgsql.org/ to great effect.
This is speculation and personal opinion, unlike the stuff I wrote above.

I suspect what happened is that the hacking groups gave Wikileaks the dump via a cut-out. It's entirely possible that cut-out isn't aware how the data was obtained.

I don't think Assange is a Russian agent (even though he receives money from RT etc). I think he has his own motives. At the time this was more anti-Clinton that pro-Trump specifically.

More recently his Tweets have become more supportive of Trump personally (although interestingly not really his agendas necessarily). My uncharitable suspicion is that he's hoping for a presidential pardon.

this same evidence would have been "page 6" news and would have been rather quickly forgotten but for a few "sore losers".

Of course. There's plenty of similar evidence that the Russians also supported the Green party and Sanders campaigns in various forms. No one talks about them because they ended up not mattering.
The stock and trade of our national media and the federal government with the participation of both political parties is identity politics and division.

The event this weekend was a classic example of this and now every 12 year old on the internet is screaming nazi and kkk.

If this country wasn't solidly middle of the road, you wouldn't have Bush two terms, Obama two terms, followed by Trump, with an ever changing congress.

Americans aren't the racist bigots the media and government claims, but judging by the news, Reddit, and internet articles, everyone right of Bernie is now KKK.

Americans want privacy, freedom, respect for our civil liberties, rule of law, and economic opportunity, and everyone else outside of that wants our money while egging us on to fight.
That makes sense, I hadn't thought about the extent of the breakage.
Second CEO quits Donald Trump's advisory council over Charlottesville
Let's not turn hn into reddit. The conflicts raging right now are complex and caused by actions from both sides. Pretending that one group is entirely to blame is naive and hurts the discussion. IMO, this link does not belong on hn.
With iOS 11 you can type your Questions to Siri for results, replacing some of your Searches. I remember vaguely that 80% of all searches are some specific type that Apple could replicate in Siri "Should they choose to".

I think the End Game will be Apple providing very good, high quality curated Search Results for its Users, Eating up to 40% of Google's Mobile revenue. ( 80% of searches and 50% of Mobile Revenue coming from iPhone ).

That is, of course assuming Apple could do Searches or Services, judging from the few years of Apple Map, Apple Music, iCloud etc. This segment is simply not in their DNA.

Notes: Some may argue Apple's Services Revenue continues to increase, but if you look at the break down majority of it are from App Store, and majority of App Store Revenue are from Gaming, which ironically is a category Apple doesn't care much.
> A plausible proof of "P != NP" won't be quite as simple to express, since it needs to prove that all such algorithms do not run in polynomial time.

That sounds hard but, If for any NP-Complete problem there exists no P solution then for all NP problems there is no P solution. So this proof sounds like it has the right shape.
> The level of destruction of people and centres of culture puts any praise of him beyond the pale.

I disagree. If that was the case, then no man would be praiseworthy.

> His army destroyed what was perhaps the most important city in Western Asia:

No he didn't and no it wasn't anything near the most important city in western asia. Go read about the supposed destruction of the cities and see how absurd it is.

Certainly the status of Merv declined as the mongols diverted trade routes to suit them but that's empire.

Also, west asia has lots of great and important cities. I wouldn't go around complaining Mery was the most important cities in west asia when cities like jerusalem, baghdad and a bunch more exist in west asia.

WL also worked with the NYT and The Guardian and no one was calling him a puppet of the US or the UK.

Sure, it's possible he's FSB (or whatever) secret unit and he's their Trojan horse --but no one was saying that during the Bush years (or even Obama minus '16). Only now do they say, oh, he's such a puppet. It's hard to take the allegation seriously when previously many of the same people had no problem with him.
The next wave of computing
I wouldn't be quite so quick to jump to the "willful" label. I'm not a native, so I know very little about US Civil War. I also know that much of what you think you know about the war is actually bare propaganda written by the winning side (I'm from Russia myself, the Soviets did a lot of that during and after the war, and did it so thoroughly that authentic accounts of what actually happened are still very few and far between).

It just seems weird to me to obsess about some stupid statue enough to march with torches under it or to throw shit&pee bombs at those marching with torches. I'd understand this if all the _real_ problems in the country were already solved and people had nothing better to do, but that's not the case at all. Seems to me someone is trying to deliberately destabilize things by pitting two aggressive factions against one another, in order to achieve their secondary agenda or distract from something.

I've seen this shit happen before, it does not usually end well for the society as a whole.
While I certainly wouldn't 'shrug off' anything, there is a very material difference between a privately held statue to a foreign historical figure with a ruinous effect on a large segment of the world's populations and a public commemoration of an actual traitor to the nation, responsible for attempting to defend the actual enslavement of a large population of Americans. Especially when the main utility of the former in this context appears to be to distract from the latter.

It wasn't really an argument. Most of a roundabout way of saying that the white suprematists out in force this weekend celebrating racism and genocide were far righters. And I think you'll find that Nazi and Confederate flag-waving is less popular on the left. In my humble experience.

There are crazy people from across the political spectrum who commit violent crimes. Yes, many are liberal. Many are conservative. Trying to tally who did more is silly. But if we're against violent crime, maybe we should also have a conversation about gun control.

Edit: You appear to have changed the phrasing of your comment. You originally asked if that was the strongest argument I could come up with.
One counter-anectode to your examples (and your condescending "point"):

I spent six months (Nov '16 - May '17) with my license yanked away after a seizure. Uber (and Lyft) changed my life at that time. The last time I was in a similar position I depended on friends' charity. There were taxis that you could call by phone, but around an hour away. I was in a large city then too (Atlanta).

And you said:

What exactly is "incorrect" again? So just because he won by a small margin, that win doesn't count? I don't even like Trump but this is really outrageous. Please take a second to think about what you're saying. I don't even know what you consider as "correct".
It's odd that the bloomberg piece has a whole bunch of links but doesn't link the VIPS letter. It's here: https://consortiumnews.com/2017/07/24/intel-vets-challenge-r...

Also it goes out it's way to mention William Binney, and The Nation article linked from it mentions other ex-government employees associated with VIPS, but neither mentions the mysterious Skip Folden that VIPS relied on as thier technical expert.

This is what the VIPS letter says about him:

Independent analyst Skip Folden, who retired after 25 years as the IBM Program Manager for Information Technology

but if he spent 25 years as a high or even medium level employee at IBM I would expect some kind of internet trail and I couldn't find one.
Because time zones span ~15 degrees of longitude, and the sunset can be up to one hour difference between each side of the time zone. Also, I move north and south during my travels, which also changes sunset, and is not reflected in the time zone.
Yes, and they do, independent of my opinion on the matter.
The hand drills have a couple of non-obvious advantages over a normal electric drill.

First, since they're usually slower, it's harder to really screw up and drill a blind hole too deep. As an added bonus, if you mark your depth with tape, it's a lot harder to accidentally push the tape up the bit, and subsequently drill too deep.

Second, I find it much easier to drill a hole perpendicular to the surface I'm drilling in because the handle is in line with the axis of the hole. I find it much harder to do that reliably with an electric drill.

Third, if you pull off the side handle (chef's cap), you can drill quite close to a wall (but not a corner). The handle isn't appreciably larger in diameter than the chuck, so you can drill straight in much closer (6-12mm) than you can with most electric drills.

Fourth, the old ones are beautifully made, and will last forever[0].

Those are on top of the obvious advantage that they need neither a cord nor batteries.

The downsides:

It's harder to get the bit back out; you can't just gun it and pull back like you can with an electric drill. Also, you can't crank in reverse. That usually just loosens the chuck.

You can't really maintain the speed you need to get a clean hole with a brad-point bit. Or maybe that just comes with practice? I haven't managed it yet.

The single speed ones are pretty well done for by the time you hit a 1/4"/6mm bit, especially with a smaller drill.

I have a Miller's Falls #5, and a Goodell-Pratt 5 1/2 [1]. The Goodell-Pratt has a low gear that really ups the capacity to drill larger diameter holes in hardwood.

The Miller's Falls #5 has a double pinion, which I prefer to the single pinion on the Goodell-Pratt. The gearbox on the Goodell-Pratt is also slightly fussy, but it does have a ball bearing thrust bearing.

Honestly, I would prefer if my days were spent doing logic puzzles. Most of it is doing tedious uninteresting coding tasks, i.e. code that takes no insight nor provides any intellectual stimulation. But the logic puzzles are what initially drew me in. The "sexy" stuff in software engineering is built on a boat load of unsexy behind the scenes. It's easy to be mislead.

>But even if there are inherently measureable and statistically significant differences that doesn't really translate to...

True, but the critical point is that programming is very hard and if you're not the type that's naturally drawn to logic puzzles it could be torture. Interest is related to aptitude in that those that are interested have the inherent motivation to get good at it. I strongly believe that interest is highly correlated with aptitude. That doesn't mean that those uninterested in logic puzzles can't hack it, its just that they have to be very highly motivated to learn. I'm just not sure I see the value in trying to engineer interest at such a young age if it doesn't come naturally.

> It's commonly reported that Mongol soldiers were tasked with slaughtering the local population after taking a defended city.

It was "reported" by the mongols to scare other cities to surrender without a fight. It was part of what we call war propaganda.

And of course also by the enemies of the mongols to demonize the mongols and make the local population fight harder.

But most of it is pure myth. Common sense tells you that.

Fact is, in our country we have a right and an expectation to peacefully assemble in the public square

Peacefully. Peacefully.

The torches were not a great idea, but I suppose they're not un-peaceful. The shields and the helmets ... well, self-defense is peaceful, right? But the clubs? The guns?

Occupying an area with weapons while making threats is not "peaceful assembly".

"It is basically the same as a four string guitar with a capo on 5th fret (with the typical quirk of having the lowest string being an octave higher)"

5th fret represents going up at most 3 whole notes, not 8.

"Typical chords for a beginner are minor and major chords which uses only 3 notes."

Those are 'power chords' and not your full basic A-G chords. Your basic base E-chord is E-B-E-G#/Ab-B-E on a regular guitar and on a uke it's E-B-E-G#/Ab. Not even a major or minor, just the basic full chord itself runs at least four notes.

"I think a ukulele can be fine to start as you'll get some very quick progress, but its limitations will come very quick as well."

The limitations become apparent around day two when you realize the E you're playing on a uke doesn't sound as full or bright as an E played on a guitar. I put mine down after a week and never looked back. That was... 23 years ago.
