Universities treat adjuncts like they do because they can: https://jakeseliger.com/2016/02/25/universities-treat-adjunc... . When adjuncts stop accepting offers, prices will rise. I'm puzzled that more liberal arts profs don't teach high school: https://jakeseliger.com/2012/05/22/what-you-should-know-befo....

I teach as an adjunct because I like teaching and have a real job, so it works for me. But I worry about many others, especially the ones who are thinking about going to more grad school because they don't know what else to do.
I feel as if the article pays nominal lip service to third-wave feminist by quoting critiques of gender essentialism but otherwise puts people in two buckets anyway.

Sure, she's only talking about her story, but it's not because it's extraordinary; rather, the implied rant is that 'tis the same for all.

Great break down. I applaud.
That's awful, and I'm sorry to hear it. Every time I see stuff like this show up on FB or HN or Reddit, I find it personally distressing, because it's enabling for people with Cluster B traits. They feel justified and empowered in continuing to emotionally abuse their friends and partners. Meanwhile, the victims of abuse are led to believe that they're the ones who are in the wrong.

it's also enabling for misogynists who are more than happy to claim that this is normal behavior for an entire gender (it's not). This submission has already been flagged, which is nice, but I can't help but feel that it's being flagged for the wrong reasons. Funnily enough, I bet the flags are coming from people with all sorts of conflicting political views.

For those of you in a relationship with someone similar to the author of the article, it doesn't have to be like this. There are plenty of women out there (the vast majority) who won't expect you to read their minds, who won't gaslight you, who will let you disagree with them without fear of extreme consequences, and who will take your needs and struggles into account, instead of just making everything about themselves.
I've just used this guy's services and he's a legit black hat hacker, mobile phone hack, social network hacks, emails and school grade hacks, he's actually the real deal, I was initially skeptical as I already got scammed before but he did come through, his email is eightspyders@gmail.com
SQL and category theory have a fair degree of overlap so there is that.
Most people can go to a junior college and get a two-year degree debt-free between working a part-time job and non-loan financial aid. Transfer into an inexpensive 4-year school to complete your undergrad degree and if you are careful you can graduate with less than $5,000 of debt...maybe no debt at all depending on how much financial need you have and how valuable your skills are.

I don't think that skipping college and putting the funds you have into bitcoin is anywhere as risk-free as going to college in the scenario I outlined.

Can we tone it down a little, I'm here for the discussion, not the sexism.
> It's not just the adjuncts, it is graduate students, too.

> It's pretty screwed up. It's a privilege to be in higher education but it is also pretty crushing and you've got to be a soldier to deal with it. The worst part is I've almost never met anything but great people who willingly put themselves through it.

Isn't that selecting for exactly the kind of people they want in academia though? Great people who would willingly put themselves through pain just for the sake of advancing knowledge? I'm not actually convinced that if they paid a better salary it would necessarily end up selecting for people better suited for academia -- not saying this because of lack of skills, but because if you're worried about making money the moment you start, it seems pretty plausible that you (or far people in your shoes than would feel so otherwise) would be distracted by it the whole time and not working purely for the sake of advancing your science.

Education is not simply a matter of exposure. The same information that's online has also been available, in books, notes, and other forms, generally, for a century or more, much of it from lending libraries at little or no charge.

If you think about it, humans are unique among all other species in that we do have a dedicated category of productive workers whose only task is to facilitate the transfer of knowledge from one generation to the next. Few other species have any concept of teaching, and without permanent records, no mass culture or collective wisdom that can extend beyond a particular group or tribe.

There are several schools of teaching. One, that I don't subscribe to, is that of the student as a vessel to be filled. This strikes me as all sorts of wrong.

Another takes its lead from the root of the word information itself: to inform. That is, to leave an imprint that recalls the original. This view also recognises the difference between explicit knowledge, that which can be transferred by words or writing, and tacit knowledge, which ultimately has to be experienced. Even much of the information we tend to think of as explicit has a very large element of tacit-nature to it. There are concepts I've been using, working with, and being exposed to (through writing, reading, lectures, video, and even experienc) for decades that I have only recently come up with far better understandings of.

(Example from the past week: maser and laser technology are the molecular equivalents of electronic oscillators used in radio, and achieve much the same ends: a highly uniform, high-capacity information channel. This a realisation despite having first learned of lasers and masers in the 1970s. And yes, this was an insight I'd arrived at myself, but it's taken me three decades on from Uni to reach that stage -- rather inefficient.)

What a good teacher understands is not merely the subject but the transmission of understanding of the subject -- where students get stuck, how to progress through intermediate understandings, exercises which truly cement critical concepts, or operations, or techniques, in the neural wiring of the student's brain. Teaching is itself a skill deeply founded in tacit knowledge, difficult to express in verbal form. As with a coach, or music teacher, or dance instructor, often the trick comes from hints and prompts which nudge the student in the right direction.

Another element is simply enthusiasm for the subject. I've taken classes I really had no particular interest in only to discover that the instructor was deeply immersed in, and truly loved. (I'll occasionally experience this listening to lectures or interviews on topics I'm not particularly interested in, but where the speaker has an absolutely infectious attachment.) Contrast with multiple topics I'd launched into with gusto myself only to find that a teacher, or author, or lecturer was unable to communicate, not only the material itself, but any interest whatsoever in it.

That's the inherent value of lecturers.

I think it comes down to communication. If my wife said "put your clothes in the hamper because I want you to, and that's where they belong", I might fail to put them there. If she said "put your clothes in the hamper because leaving them on the floor makes my life a lot harder, and also I might get sick", I would never fail to put them there.

By framing the issue as something I care about (my wife's health and happiness) and not something I don't care about (whether or not clothes are on the floor), effective communication saves the day.

I think the issue with the article is that it demonizes this very communication as a form of unfair, sexist "emotional labor", and therefore (at least to my mind) makes it less likely to occur.

EDIT: I'm not trying to imply that your personal situation went one way or the other, or that it was a failing on your part to communicate effectively. I'm just citing my own personal anecdote, because that's all I have.
Sure, but it's almost always quoted as a rate like this.

Equipment is a special case in that "capital" equipment is usually exempt from most or all overhead. Smaller things are often not though, and some things are very difficult to charge to a grant at all.
To get live data from ICE--the exchange that withdrew the request--I'm currently paying a broker $120/month.

By comparison, just about every crypto exchange currently offers push feeds and historical data for free. In most cases you don't even need to sign in.

In some sense this is a measure of the immaturity of crypto markets.

But it's also a reminder that with main institutional players moving in, the barriers to entry will go way up.

We'll probably start to see more brokers and vendors and more consolidation/buyouts of the crypto exchanges.

Total security is not possible, not at least by a long shot.

Although, I understand your concern about why people trust these companies. While I don't know the answer just yet, I think one reason is that most these companies are located in Western countries where "rule of law" is considered extremely crucial. Openness about balance-sheets, government policies, and privacy are - to the best of my knowledge - critical in the US.

The article gives a median income of under $50K for non-adjuncts. Of course, that includes assistant/associate professors.

A big list of libraries one has to install is kind of intimidating, yeah. But them's the breaks.

What seems particularly offensive to me is that it declares that it specifically requires GCC 4.9. I'm really not OK pinning your brand new impressive world changing open source cloud technology to a compiler release series that's 3.5 years old. It looks either staid, or uncaring, or otherwise dull to have slipped to far behind the times, and it's intimidating to think the codebase is complex enough C or C++ that it really matters a whole lot.
They're called “community colleges” (faculty are paid less than universities, but they still have a comparatively high-paid overall teaching staff because the faculty get all the teaching duties, none of it is farmed out to really low-paid grad students.)

And, yes, there's a market for them.

(This is also what a lot of private, non-research schools sell themselves as, and some actually fit the bill without being abusive frauds, though the money available and historical ease of getting away with being an abusive fraud in that area has made it hard to find the wheat among all the chaff.)
> The main difference between GPL and LGPL is that the the latter allows proprietary or non-free software to be linked without creating a derivative work.

That's not strictly correct. LGPL has the requirement that it must be possible to replace the components that are under LGPL. So you could statically link them as long as you provide separate .o files. Of course that's a bit harder with Go.

But the concept of derivative work comes from copyright law, your choice of license doesn't affect whether something is a derived work or not. All that changes is the set of restrictions.
So obviously people like Sam Harris, Maajid Nawaz, Donald Trump, Milo Yiannopoulos, Ben Shapiro, Charles Murray, and George W. Bush don't qualify. So just reply with some links where you've been defending their right to speak as loudly as you've insisted Nazi censorship won't impair it. Because surely no decent person you would insist on clear lines of censorship and then quietly disappear as violent rioters use that reasoning to slander and silence people.

Edit: I'll take that downvote as a sign of "I casually claim censorship can be limited while doing nothing to stop its expansion."
Presumably they'd pay for themselves because the universities would bring in larger future grants, because the output would be increased, because the academic staff would be better utilized.
Don't forget the upgrade factor. I find it totally ridiculous that you're forced to buy external enclosures for pro-grade equipment instead of just having a nice, toolless access panel for upgrades. I miss the tower Mac Pro, which looked beautiful partly because it looked like a practical, industrial tool designed for easy physical access. Not everything needs to look physically seamless...

> It's like when a boy cleans his room, praising him is the right thing to do, even if you feel a little sexist doing it (because you did not praise his sister for the same thing).

Sexism is tricky because it's sometimes unrelated to the problem. I recently saw a small boy in a shop yelling at his sister not to touch him because she played with a dog and her hands were dirty. I'm pretty sure his room is cleaner than hers, and their parents praise her for cleaning her room and not him. Personality traits are sometimes mistook for gender stereotypes and people feel shame for being sexist. Actions should definitely be tailored to the individual, which is not sexist if individuals have different sexes. But it's easier to follow rules and guides (such as ethics and politically correctness) and even easier to mock and shame people who appear to break them.
In Eastbloc countries that was done as a form of punishment, often for not toeing the party line. It was true across disciplines: medicine, law, etc, when otherwise they would have "good" jobs. (I'm clarifying, not justifying.)

There’s a notion that much of the hierarchy that exists in the world is unnecessary, and perpetuated only because it’s the status quo. A university for example doesn’t strictly need to manage the professors - you could have a very large university where the professors primarily manage themselves, with only a small administrative group. An organization arranged in this way wouldn’t need many meetings.
I think the articles on philosophy and even crit theory are ok when they have an intellectual bent. Otherwise there's little sense in admitting Seth Godin but excluding Michel Foucault, both fine bald men.

I feel (and it's not just me) that there's a powerful, useful core to "continental theory" -- see Shimon Naveh, Elie Ayache, etc. Techies should be more well-rounded.

I agree that articles that apply philosophy and theory to politics are off-topic. We should be discussing (in addition to HN's core matter of startups) capital I ideas, not petty stuff.

Are you really arguing that most adults don’t realize that taking down a box which has a specific home then not putting it away for a few days is mildly annoying and irresponsible?

The original headline is: "God is a Bot and Anthony Levandowski is His Messenger". IT ends with an anonymous former colleague saying, "If he could just play it straight, he could be the next Steve Jobs or Elon Musk. But he just doesn’t know when to stop cutting corners."

I'm male. I have a female roommate. (We're not involved) I do almost all of the dishes, I take out the trash, I clean the kitchen and the public bathroom, and tidy the dining space and wash the floors, and I harbor zero resentment towards her. I just value cleanliness more, so I should expect to pay a premium (in labor) for that preference.

I also don't require any praise for what I do. The cleanliness is it's own reward.
Appears the tech behind this "cheerpj" a java transpiled to javascript[1] system that appears to contain all of openjdk including swing(!?!). That's kind of cool actually. But creating applications with such a system seems highly problematic. See for example GWT (google web toolkit)[2] which also transpiled java to javascript. I only see legacy GWT apps around nowadays, the world moved on. So I really don't see the appeal of this; unless you're a java shop hell bent on NOT learning modern frontend development.

Shipping containers are not typically refrigerated, though. At that point you need an electricity supply and you're getting away from the primary point of shipping containers, which is essentially "stack them and stick them on a boat for a month". Obviously refrigerated containers exist, but I think they're a pretty small minority and I don't think they are typically chosen for container home construction.
With a couple of dabbles in OData.

ODataControllers are some of the most painfully bad things I have ever had the displeasure of programming with, I'm migrating our code bade back over to using API controllers with the semi-broken OData plugins rather than use them.

Admittedly part of that is because OData is great for plugging into grids like datatables for jquery or kendo grid, but otherwise incredibly over-complicated.

It sometimes feels as if they can't make their mind up about anything, and yet invest heavily in the latest fad that disappears a year later.

Surprised they've not released an update yet that forces everyone to use yarn instead of nuget.
This is pretty neat. Does this mean IKEA will start giving you TaskRabbit discounts for buying IKEA furniture? I'd be into that.
That's very possible.

Surely there's some middle ground between incentives that attract too many people and underpaying dedicated talent? Even if you were to get paid more, the work is so intense and extended (grinding for years), those just attracted by money would have more attractive alternatives.
Yeah, but I believe that those effects are usually from near the source (which is part of why we can use details of the spectrum over time to infer source structure and composition). There might be cases I'm not aware of, though.

We should move more research to lower cost cities like Memphis or Detroit that have affordable housing. In addition, we need to prioritize funding to our middle tier Universities.

I've always wanted to build a home out of shipping containers (ideally a micro-house from one 40ft one), but I fully appreciate that it's more from a romanticised dream of it than from a purely functional perspective.

In much the same way there's no sensible reason for thatched cottages, tipis, wattle and daub, or other different ways of building in 2017, it doesn't have to be for a logical reason.

There are of course good use cases for them, especially in regards to temporary accommodation (such as SnoozeBox). Part of the appeal is also in their iterative nature - you can get to weather proof quickly and they can be made secure for starting internal fit out faster, but concede the benefits rapidly decrease in other ways.

Not everything when it comes to personalised construction of a home will be rational.
You can be a soldier without ant college education (and qualify for a direct path to Officer Candidate School with a two-year degree or equivalent credits, IIRC), so giving “soldier” as on option with 4-year English degree is literally suggesting that it is worth the same as no college education at all.
