It's hard to account for nostalgia if you're not controlling for geography.

Rural/suburban theaters (built and owned on cheap land) that OP may have gone to as a child will certainly be cheaper than urban theaters (high rents) frequented as an adult.

$15 is cheap for a ticket in an urban/wealthy area.
I always though it would be funny to offer people free radiators that were just hot mining rigs.
do you see the conflict inherent in arguing both that you want to spend less money on a good and that you want the people providing that good to be more skilled?

I mean, it's natural to want both of those things, and sometimes, there's some inefficiency that can be fixed that makes things both better and less expensive, but... not usually. Usually, if you want better workers to do a task, you have to pay more, and that costs money.

My own impression is that instructor quality varies a lot by institution, though I have never met a college professor who wasn't dramatically better than what you'd expect based on pay.

I think the other problem is that static analysis is a great tool for a new code base. But a new code base has no dead code.

Or to put it another way, when you're designing a system, please think about the benefit static analysis will have in identifying dead code three years hence. But when you're trying to find dead code in that ten year old PHP code no amount of woulda's and coulda's will get rid of it.

The intelligent person solves the problem they've got. The unintelligent person shoulda's coulda's and woulda's you into oblivion.

(NB. I would probably choose a tool with a good type system, and I would try to write to its strengths, in any system I was designing today. But that still doesn't help me identify the dead code I've got.)

If this is not criminal negligence then I don't know what is. I bet nobody goes to prison for it though. It's funny how individuals can go to prison for rather trivial offences that do not harm others. Yet corporations can get away with what basically equates to manslaughter.

I'm not saying anyone should go to the university of phoenix; there are better publicly subsidized options out today, but I do know a handful of people who were partly educated there, who did just fine.
Even with a national ID scheme, I don't know of any country who has implemented a way to validate that the holder of the ID document is the person who is the person who the ID document corresponds to without the person being present so that their biometric data can be validated.
It really is a valid point. Humour can easily be overdone.

I appreciate your comment. I've a few questions to help me understand your perspective.

Is the crux of the issue the fact that lower socioeconomic groups are less able to rebound from a financial impact? Or something more specific about targeting lower s.e. groups?

Tribal behaviour online, especially with the benefit of anonymity, it's really anything new. Throw money and ego into the mix and I'm not all that surprised that there's some messiness.

You can easily 51% any and every coin for less than their market cap if you calculate just the cost of running/renting the hardware for a day. (Though really you don't even need it for that long)

I'm not sure if you would run into the problem of availability of hardware at some point, but if you're spending ~$76 billion to rent servers for a day, I'm sure you can figure out the details later.

Someone ran the calculations (From Aug 1st of 2017) here: https://freedomnode.com/blog/86/cost-of-51-attack-and-securi...

But logically, 51% of the network cannot exceed the value of the network. You lose by a huge margin if you are spending more on protecting your money, than money you actually have.
And their approach was to send a letter. That'll teach them.

Medium != journalism.
we still have these, and they are often short term. I think in the trades, 2 to 4 years is traditional; 'internships' which is what we call the same thing in the tech industry, tend to be 3 months to a year. I have no college and did an ad-hoc internship doing office IT in high school; it provided an upwards path for me.

There are also a lot of really low paid IT jobs that are not officially called internships but that fill that role and hire those people; Before I reached age of majority, I spent a lot of time doing IT work in the neighborhood of minimum wage.
Well, not really, because implementing a batch mode is more work than letting xargs or GNU Parallel or Make handle the multiprocessing for the "many files" case.

Parallelizing the algorithm helps in the "single file" case, which is still important.
Pro-tip for NixOS: NixOS won't really enforce state in /home, expecting users to save files there as normal (who wants to edit configuration.nix every time you want to save a LibreOffice file?) and to have normal backups of /home.

If you want to define your /home contents statically (because, for instance, you're running a single-user home machine and you consider your dotfiles part of your system configuration), you should instead create a /etc/users/<name> directory and set it as the home directory for your user. NixOS then allows you to define its contents as part of configuration.nix, just like anything else under /etc.
Nothing wrong with the rural land or people, but the people in less dense parts of the US are overrepresented. Which means a person not living in the city has more say in government, while paying the same or less in taxes.

If it was on the BigBank to always prove that their identity was indeed stolen, it would quickly become unmanageable. People would commit fraud in the opposite direction, by getting a huge loan from some a bank and claiming that their identity is stolen. I'm sure it would be easier than stealing someones identity to do it, and it would obviously involve some necessary actions to avoid being caught but this would drive loan rates through the roof for the average citizen to make up for all the fraud occurring. I agree with you ideologically, but in practicality i do not believe it would work.
Actually, neither the grandparent or I (of the snarky subreply) made any explicit declaration of veganism. I most emphatically am not a vegan. I just pragmatically don't eat meat. I keep my opinions of meat-eating largely to myself, and should prefer to receive a roughly equivalent treatment.
Somebody opened a huge options position on EFX a couple weeks ago. No way to tell who, of course, but it certainly looks suspicious. I posted the chart here: https://twitter.com/dimfeld/status/905952247682547716
I'm not saying that MOOCS aren't valuable; they certainly are, but they aren't college. You don't get the socialization, among other things. This is super obvious to me, as someone without an education who works with people who mostly have very high end educations. It's a huge difference, even when I can compete technically, it's really obvious that I am really different and lacking the background the others have.
Expand from coffee to hamburgers, to gas station purchases, to groceries, etc, and soon you have ruled out a major percentage of the consumer economy. Not a deal breaker, but lots of hype for crypto is how it can replace fiat transactions wholesale or damn near it.

Yup. A bachelor's degree from most US colleges is about 3 years of "can you read and learn from reading, at least well enough for the tests?" and maybe a year or so of actual college-level education. I enjoyed my college education and felt I got a lot out of it, but it certainly is possible to get through college without actually gaining much education. Partly that's the fault of the student, but getting a degree from an accredited college or university should actually mean something.
We get them from farmland, not rural people.

Even if your reasoning is true it's not justification for a person living outside of the city or densely populated areas to have less of a vote in government. Everyone should have an equal vote, no?

Window services are easy to build these days. There are quite a few excellent libraries that can make building a windows service very easy. Look at TopShelf. It's one of the best and one of the most popular libaries out there. Basically take your existing console app code and just drop it into a few methods. Easy to debug as well, since you can the same windows service as a console app while debugging.

Once you build out your service, it will act as a SignalR backend that will then communicate to a Signalr client code in a browser.

You can use .NET core to make all the above run cross-platform. In your case, for IOT devices powered by things like the RaspberryPi.
Only if you accept that college value == first few years comp, and that second order effects wouldn't outweigh this economic coercion.
Indoctrination in to the consumerist-materialist-debt-burdened-over-worked-under-paid dream of the current era.

Can you expand on the systems that are "hard to obtain by someone claiming to be you" and biometrics? In my readings, I've found that biometrics is not unique across a large population, it changes over one's life span (which means you wouldn't know when it has changed enough to update the system that stores it), changes with one's profession (like physical labor) and health, and that the error rates across a huge population even for iris scans are quite high.

For reference, India has a unique ID called Aadhaar that collects ten fingerprints and two iris scans to deduplicate across 1.3 billion people. It uses flawed technology (relying on a fingerprint for authentication or in very rare cases, an iris scan), insecure devices, and generally has a high failure rate due to poor infrastructure. Combined with poor technology, the privacy and security policies and measures are inadequate too. There have been plenty of personal information leaked in the last few years because of the government's obstinate stand that this ID be linked to everything - phone numbers, tax ID, bank accounts, and many more.

I don't think there is any solution, including biometrics, that will work to uniquely and unambiguously identify individuals across large populations. I also see more dangers for the populace with such schemes because submitted biometrics, once compromised, cannot be revoked or reissued (this is how the Aadhaar system works - it stores the biometrics as-is).

Jest aside, I think there is huge resentment towards cryptocurrencies. From people who missed it, to those who lost. The whole scene is riddled with scams and thieves, and yet it continues to skyrocket. I don't know how this resentment will be overcome, or even if it will be an obstacle to cryptocurrencies, but the resentment is something I've noticed rising at the speed of Bitcoin.

Or maybe people are just very skeptical of a claim made by a company ran by people trying to make lots of money off of this. Just as they should be skeptical of claims made by oil and coal companies that are making alot of money off the current energy system.
If you are paying 50% of your income as taxes in the US, you are making enough money that you shouldn't be complaining about college being expensive.

And... there's a weird hump, because capital gains are taxed at a much lower rate. in that bracket, you have the very top end of those who work as employees, and small business owners who end up having to pay income tax on their profits. Much above that and most of your income is usually in the form of capital gains, and thus taxed less.
You do need a lot of computational power and sufficient test bed in the long run. You certainly can fo AI research on a dozen computers, but would be far better if someone else handle the infrastructure and you just do the research. It makes sense to partner with the giant tech. Also, well-known researchers almost always do joint research with researchers at giant tech because they know each other already.
Indeed. Corporations are called fictitious entities for a reason, they don't really exist. Send all the people home, and ask a corporation to turn on a lamp, or sell a widget; it can't. We allow their creation because it creates a great deal of convenience to the humans in the business. However, they're still fictitious and the state has the right to dissolve a corporation in some circumstances. Despite this, we seem to have a culture where corporations are given MORE rights than people. We've literally created imaginary monsters that threaten the life and freedom of real human beings.
Magnitude-8+ Earthquake, 87km SW of Pijijiapan, Mexico
Sure, college is a worthwhile investment if you are allowed to attend Stanford or Berkeley-caliber institutions. The vast majority of Americans do not have that opportunity.

And in light of America's student loan crisis, what politician in his right mind is going to propose subsidizing college education even more? It would be nice, but it is unrealistic.

That is why MOOCs are so important -- a Stanford and Berkeley-caliber education can be made available on a massive scale, for much less than the standard tuition nowadays. People do not recognize it, or do not want to recognize it, but we are in an Industrial Revolution-like period for higher education.

I have been using JSX quite a bit and this is helping me get a better understanding.
Let me guess: You also think all those people getting shot/beaten/choked to death by police offers in the US were also all disobedient and/or resisting arrest.
Really cool "green lightning" effect observed before and during the earthquake: https://mobile.twitter.com/AlanEchelon96/status/906031454529... I believe this phenomenon is still not understood...
Experimenting with JSX has introduced me to two language constructs: the Pragma, and the Macro. I know that these might seem a bit pedestrian to most folks, but they opened up my understanding of programming languages considerably. I am genuinely a bit surprised that the Javascript community hasn't played around more with the possibilities that both can offer.
Elections are about influencing the population to vote in a particular way. It is quite strange that the sections of the US population who supported Senator Hillary Clinton are up in arms over the influences undertaken by various foreign governments, foreign corporations and others.

Especially in the light of how often the US government in the past (as well as US corporations and others) made huge efforts to influence the elections of other countries.

I watched your election over the many months that it took to play out and I mostly shook my head. The corruption on both sides, the basic lack of exhibited critical thinking on behalf of the majority of the voting population. You had a bigger choice than just Clinton and Trump, but everything was about those two.

You have a bigger choice than Republican and Democrat and yet all the news was about those two. The aftermath was a shmozzle with various sections declaring that your new president was no president of theirs. Strangely enough, I thought a couple of the presidential alternatives were more likely to be better presidents for your nation. Of course, that is only an outsider's opinion and they could have been much worse.

But, you won't know now. In discussions here, I noted that both of the leading candidates were a very bad fit for the health of the US. History is telling me now that I wasn't too far off from the reality that is being experienced.

We are about to undergo a national plebiscite over a matter here. Interestingly enough, even if the vote comes back "No", it will mean nothing by this time next year. No matter what parliamentary system you have, as long as the it is fully independent of the voting population, then the voting population has no say in what is brought up as legislation and law.

How often, do I see studies by non-partisan groups in your own country highlighting that you are a nation of felons and the vast majority of you have no clue of this legal status, simply because your various legislatures (state and federal) have created so much law that works against the citizens of your nation.

You should be more concerned over the current politicians and who actually owns them than ever be concerned over what some foreign government does during a quite inconsequential presidential election. Presidents come and go, you only have them for a maximum period of 8 years. But your bought and paid for representatives and senators at both state and federal level can be there for many decades.

You have such a treasure in your constitution but you don't actually value it as such. So much lip service given to it but you allow you governments and associated law enforcement and courts to trample it into the ground. Just the concept of "Jury Nullification" which is, by all appearances, anathema to the courts, is such an incredible freedom for you.

You have so much, but you have allowed it to be corrupted to the point of uselessness.
In that case banks would just have to verify who they were giving money to before they start handing out loans. That doesn't sound particularly unmanagable to me.
You ever notice how the government likes to treat corporations like people, but corporations never go to prison? They get fined a marginal fraction of their yearly profits, or maybe in an extreme case an employee goes to jail, but the corporation continues to do what it was doing before. Basically, if you're incorporated, and you can find a fall guy, nothing can stop you - except maybe a drop in sales.
I got to say, asking about GovCloud and with that email address your post sounds like a terrible spear phishing attempt :)
For developers that might be true that voice/video call is not happening often but I don't think that other business functions would share the same perspective. The ability to call, video conference and easily share images and docs is an important need for collaboration in Design, Marketing, Product Management and as a PM I often had to share screenshots back with engineers to illustrate what I'm talking about. Then, from my experience large orgs do not want to have multiple chat systems that compete with each other internally, so they'll take the one that offer more versatility while being also easy to use.

Disclaimer: I'm an ex-Atlassian (Product Manager) and my feedback is genuine, coming from experience. I'm also super happy to see my ex-co-workers getting Stride out but my opinion is not a Marketing plot.

You really have to give IBM credit for their marketing.

Then again, it's always going to be this debate of engineers clamoring for better engineering and consultants clamoring for flashier powerpoint decks, animations, and other gimmicks.

Good technology (executed with an end-business goal in mind) delivers real value, and that real value is what will sell in perpetuity. Otherwise, you can only go on fooling people for so long...

I would be curious to see how the MIT academics play with the IBM consultants / engineers. Would be curious to hear anyone's comment on the inside of this closely connected.
