I don't think he's quibbling with the intent of the program, which is what you're defending. He's objecting to the implementation.

What if the program had provided an on-time payment bonus (say $500 per payment) on each payment made by people in a qualifying job? The financing of the program would have been continual, so no 10-year budget time bomb. The loan forgiveness would be fixed rather than 100%, encouraging borrowers to borrow responsibly. And it would still accomplish the goal of encouraging people to work in those kinds of jobs.

And, more importantly to the man in the article, the loan balance would be front and center, so he would have realized there was a problem immediately when he didn't see it going down fast enough.
Think you're a bit confused about how it all works. There is no need to use plaintext, we'll assume we're using https by default. You are already sending the data from the client to the server, I can as well echo it back with a couple of validation errors.

I don't see the security hole in this situation, you do realise that regardless of the obfuscation you see in your password input fields, which by the way only protects from over-the-shoulder peeking, you are willingly sending data to the server and it will end up there unencrypted anyway. Otherwise there wouldn't be possible to do any operation at all.
> A platform independent package manager for C++ must effectively degrade into a build system that rebuilds all dependencies from source. And it must allow build parameters for each step to be defined by the dependent libraries or programs, so that the result is something that can be linked together successfully.

That's how Cargo works, and it works great.

Whilst I completely think net neutrality should be enshrined in law, I do wonder whether "the market" will ensure it is always available.

If you have a choice of two ISPs and one of them is net neutral, the other is not, which one are you going to choose? If you are not able to choose your provider, you have a monopoly issue - the way to deal with that might be net neutrality for now, but you really need to break the monopoly irrespective of that.

Some consumers may be ill-informed. I think if plans are explicit, that's actually going to cause pause for thought and consumers will educate themselves: there is some evidence of this younger consumers at least and the choices they're making (e.g. Facebook is dying off with < 30 year olds).

For me the really scary option is when your ISP is preferring traffic for a major incumbent and limiting traffic to a new competitor and not making that explicitly clear to you. At that point you don't get to make an informed choice of ISP, you don't get consumer education calling out there are options, and you don't get shifts in the market. That's the really dangerous one we need to be wary of, IMHO.

We build apps/services for the healthcare space. Passwords are the numero uno cause of friction for healthcare users - but not for healthcare staff. We've experimented with a few password alternatives but haven't landed on any that:
- Don't force users to take a second step after they've entered some identity information in the first step.
- Is HIPAA compliant. There's no specific requirement for passwords but the security standards are very high; need to be audit proof.

My sense is a bioID is where we're headed. This year feels like the beginning of the end of the password era.

So the answer here is, apparently, "Dunno." I could imagine an article on this topic that would be valuable, but I don't think this is it.
Everybody I know who isn't completely saddled with student loan debt burns out of teaching in five to ten years and moves on to something else. Almost all the rest of them are just as burned out, their options are just more limited, for one reason or another.
FreeBSD works great on Ryzen. I'm running it on a 1950x, no issues at all.
I don't want to totally brush off the security implications, but I think focusing on ways to mitigate this exact "attack" is almost missing the point.

You could trivially thwart this attack by rate-limiting--it needs many passes through the network to evolve an image--or by caching the classifier's output and returning it for all similar (e.g., by hamming distance) images.

Instead, I think this work is interesting because it shows the limits of the network's generalization abilities.

I never said that it was. I've never read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. The previous comment asked for a definition of quality. I provided one that made sense to me.

> One of Phaedrus' realizations was that quality is neither subjective (depending on the judge) nor objective (an objective fact, like the mass of a book in kilograms).

Sounds like a contradiction in terms, like a binary value that's neither true nor false. Unless the conclusion was that quality is a composite of some objective properties and some subjective ones.
The mid-range processors to look at are Qualcomm 625 and 630

1. Nokia 7. The new Android-based HMD Global's Nokia is providing the fastest updates on the market. And the phones look really nice. Just came out so I think you'll have to wait for it or get a slightly less powerful (but also cheaper) Nokia 6. Or a Nokia 5. Or even a Nokia 3, if it's powerful enough. All of them should receive Android Oreo ([source](https://twitter.com/sarvikas/status/903867368052490240)]

2. Xiaomi Mi A1. Thanks to Android One project the phone should deliver both great stock system experience and fast updates. Unfortunately not available in every country.

3. Moto G5 plus. Stock Android and prettty good updates. But not as good as Nokia's.

4. Buy a cheap Xiaomi and install Lineage / other OS. The model I suggest is Redmi Note 4. I personally have a Redmi 4 Prime because it's smaller, but Note 4 has better ROM support.

I agree that net neutrality becomes much less important if there's real competition between ISPs. But for most of the US, there isn't. Monopolies and non-competitive duopolies are common. Yes, this should be fixed, but it's really, really hard, far harder than regulating neutrality.
Well, they certainly find such salaries for administration. (Something about paying market rates.)

That article makes a curious argument: that the UK won't have an oxycodone problem because they already have 2.5x more heroin users per capita than the US — so potential demand is already saturated. I mean, right, they probably won't have any more trouble from oxycodone than they already have from heroin and tramadol, but they already have a big opioid problem. (Maybe they're better at preventing overdose deaths than we are; I don't know.)

> UEFI is very complex. I.e. it contains a TCP/IP stack (v4 & v6), and whatnot.

For better or worse. Most regular BIOSes contains IPv4 for PXE anyway.

UEFI just allows you to do PXE a little more cleanly directly from firmware without needing a disk to bootstrap the process with other stuff like iPXE.
That makes sense, and I agree with your assessment of readability.
That's triple the speed.
I'm really glad that these folks are succeeding, they've been at it a really long time. They contacted us when I was on a non-profit board that ran an event a few years ago, and it was obvious that it was a great idea that we had no way of implementing. Now that everyone has a phone with them all the time, they're past that barrier.

I hope that they get great success.

This is not intending to diminish your point because I agree with you, but you can in fact make a fat binary with Node: https://github.com/nexe/nexe

I have used it when I cannot guarantee to have Node.js installed on location I am deploying app to. It works pretty well, but the C compilation of all the Node bindings took quite awhile when I was using it (about 2 years ago). I think a build of a small project took around 10 minutes at the time.

Could you provide examples "concepts and fundamental APIs / function calls" that you had to "recite by rote"?

There are things worth learning by heart, but there are also things better left in the manuals (esp. if the docs are searchable like most are nowadays).

Being asked about the former is usually a sign of a good employer and/or competent interviewer. Being asked about some obscure corner case in a function you only used twice in the last decade, on the other hand, is often a sign of the opposite.

Without a couple of examples, it's hard to say which kind of questions you were asked.

The best choices for no bloat and timely updates are Android One, Nokia and Sony devices. They have guaranteed updates for at least two years and actually provide timely security patches (so that in October you have October's security patch level instead of something from x months ago).

LineageOS is not a replacement for security updates from the manufacturer because they can't patch vulnerabilities in proprietary drivers. Custom ROM's are also often riddled with issues that you may or may not have the patience to deal with, and Safetynet attestation means that you may have trouble using some apps on a modified device.

Seems that Wikipedia is a better starting point:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoned_candy_myths

I would date my understanding of the myth to be from 1980, informed by a friend's mum, so the myth was oral tradition by then, across the pond in the UK. So a handful of years after 1974 the meme had spread.

This had morphed into an 'only in America' story for those of us outside the U.S. - we believed this happened on a regular Halloween basis in America and was part of 'trick or treating' (itself more American than British). Imagine the image of 'gun mad' America harbouring such 'psychos' in the community, this was easy to do if you had never been to the U.S.

The idea of a razor blade in some type of sweet did do the rounds, again in the 'made in America' context, with the myth spreading verbally. As children adults would tell you but you took reassurance that there were no crazies like that where you lived, again, only in America.

Sweets given to you as a child could be of variable quality. Sweets with a clove in the middle do exist, I think at the time I would have preferred the razor blade option, cyanide would have tasted better. Sweets kept past their sell by date might not be too good either, old folks could hand you these and expect you to enjoy them. So 'trick or treat' was actually part of the deal with all sweets offered by neighbours and other people you were to meet. It was therefore imaginable for the American myth to be true.
In other words: They have not used it for anything more than trying to kill their competition? Well, nothing to worry about then!

You're disingenuous, so this will be my only response:

In your first example you have code for using raw Web Components, and presumably it's "bad" user experience compared to a framework that generates this code for you. It's not a valid comparison.

Either compare a Web Components library, like Polymer, Skate, or Stencil, that generates this code for you against a framework, or compare raw Web Components against raw JavaScript without a framework. You'll find that making state observable and syncing it across attributes will require even more code than Web Components.

In your second example you're showing a high-level declarative API, that has opinions about property name to attribute name to event name mapping, includes a format for per-property meta-data, options for triggering observer methods, whether or not to sync attributes, and how to deserialize from attributes.

There's no way that level of API and opinion are appropriate for the underlying platform, which has to be responsible first for the capabilities of the system, the low-level hooks, and how the components interoperate with the host and other components. Higher-level libraries can automatically implement the hooks with opinions.

Even in raw JavaScript, it takes boilerplate to make an observable property, and libraries can generate that for you. Why are you holding Web Components to a higher standard than JavaScript?

I've been using Twitter exclusively for IT and tech over the last two years. Never been following anything political there.

Today, for the first time, a political ad from @diraalwatan (official account for Saudi ministry of defence) promoting war in Yemen sneaked into my feed:

https://twitter.com/diraalwatan/status/924548374711463936

I do and did tolerate the way Twitter takes actions in political ways lately, blocking accounts they consider to be fake news, state propaganda, etc. although I find it somehow controversive and very subjective. But having ads promoting war in Yemen just shocked me badly!

How it this ad even entering my feed?
Where have the prices been shown to rise? US carriers didn’t raise prices when they introduced their “soft” zero rating on video traffic.

My point is everyone is jumping to the worst conclusions instead of objectively considering the situation around what ISPs are doing without net neutrality laws.

Not supporting blanket pro net neutrality talk != supporting an unregulated lawless Wild West of ISPs but everyone acts like it is (see how quickly my comment was buried before anyone even responded)

That might make sense to me if the teachers were responsible for teaching financial literacy.
