How does this follow? If I'm aware that becoming a high school teacher ensures that I can borrow money to go to college that will be repaid by the government after 10 years of working, and I take advantage of that, how exactly does that show that I can't effectively manage money?

Because the program didn't exist when you made the choice to accumulate unsustainable debts. Using the existence of the program to justify taking on that debt is like a lottery winner claiming that buying lottery tickets was a good financial decision; true, it paid off in the end, but only by luck.

Dammit, another array language with cryptic syntax. It seems to be an unfortunate side effect of APL's custom character set that all languages inspired by it adopt the terse notation, minus the elegant symbology that made it work in the first place.

The only array language I've ever found that bucks this tendency is Nial, with the result that it's an extremely fun language to play around in, if impractical due to its ancient interpreter. J claims to have English synonyms for everything, but only as second-class citizens (no working interpreter support). Numpy, sadly, is probably the closest thing.

It's a shame because I think it's holding the paradigm back.
People in Europe end up paying for the education, you just don't see it on an itemized statement. What if you add up the 2-3% of your wages across your entire lifetime?

Another thing to point out is that many colleges offer grants, scholarships, and work study such that the sticker price often isn't what gets paid.
It's the basic calculus of lane-km per capita. Cites have far more people using far fewer roads, so it's more justifiable to keep those roads paved. Shrinking rural communities do not, and they're also the loudest opponents of revenue tools like higher sales, income, or gas taxes that could help fund maintenance.
So they dropped the prices, how is that a problem? If it's because it now costs more, if it was so long ago, are you sure that's not just inflation?

At one point I started listening to several news podcasts simultaneously...

News addiction is sort of a problem, especially because we often don't really drill down into the content, but just scan the lead, get the gist, peek at the comments, move on. But most daily news is provisional, and not well developed. Weekly or even monthly publications like Newsweek and the Economist may not be a model suited to the internet age, yet it seems a model that consumers desperately need to increase the SNR.
I deleted instagram on the phone, and use it exclusively (1 or 2 times per day) on the computer through a browser. With uBlock origins, there's no ads, no boomerangs, no "live" part. Now, since Instagram doesn't seem to get a good signal on what I find interesting, I quickly get bored within 5-10 posts, and shut it. That helped me kick the "check every 10 minutes" habit.

I use Omnifocus because it's very customizable to whatever workflow I want.

But I think the tool is basically unimportant, compared to actually in practice using it daily. Pen/paper, huge file, Evernote, they're all useless if you're not actually doing the work or actually consulting them regularly.
That does help, since Instagram and Facebook can get pretty slow over VPN.

What prevents you from writing the exact same exceptional code in a static system? I'm not sure I understand your point.
No, the #1 reason it's so hard to find an affordable home is that potential buyers can get huge loans at very low rates. Since buyers compete with each other, prices go up.

I guarantee that if interest rates were allowed to creep up, and the government stopped guaranteeing loans made by the banks, we'd have cheaper homes almost immediately.
I believe that they will actually go to 6-core APU, not 8.

The reason for this belief is that currently the basic building block of Zen line is the CCX, which is 4 cores. Raven ridge is 1 CCX and GPU, Ryzen chips are 2 CCX, EPYC CPUs are made of 4x ryzen, for a total of 32 cores. But, when AMD advertised their server platform, the promised that in the next generation there will be 48-core chips that will be drop-in compatible with current server boards. Because the memory channels/PCIE lanes need to remain positioned for 4 chips, they can't just put 6 chips in. This implies that they will go from 8-core Ryzen to 12-core Ryzen 2, and the smallest change to make that happen is probably a 6-core CCX. And if they drop that same CCX into their 2nd generation Zen APU, that would make it a 6-core chip.
Yes, and my point is 'it's not a good analogy (nor analogue) for the thing being discussed'. The nature of the things being compared is too dissimilar. Here's a trivial counter-analogy - angle trisection with compass and straightedge. Known since antiquity, proved impossible by Pierre Wantzel, a piddly 180 years ago (with the requisite invention of new mathematical tools).
But this is another area where if P=NP you might expect hints to leak through. As Aaronson points out elsewhere, there's a number of problems where people had found practically efficient algorithms, or polynomial-time randomized algorithms, or something, long before they found an actual polynomial-time worst case algorithm. (In addition to primality, linear programming is another example.) For NP-complete problems there's none of that, no such hints leaking through.
One thing I believe is not possible with linq is you can pass a transducer to a function (since a transducer is just another function), which can then insert it into a pre-existing chain of transductions.
Tldr: new homes cost too much due to labor. And building affordable housing doesn't make sense when the costs to build a larger, luxury home are not radically more, but the profits are.

I wish they'd talked about the problem in a more systemic manner.

They didn't address:

* Commuting

* Land prices

* Price to rent ratios

* Density

* Economic opportunity where housing is cheaper
We would love to build more affordable starter homes, but when high-end homes cost the same to build and are far more profitable, we lose the incentive to build smaller units

This is a major reason why prices are so out of control. Land prices aside, there is no reason somebody couldn't build a nice ~1000sqf house for under $100k. But without literally doing the work yourself, these places just don't get built.

Unfortunately anyone who takes their security or privacy seriously will be totally unable to use this. Every AMD chip contains a likely backdoored system called AMD Secure Processor (formerly “Platform Security Processor” or “PSP”) [1].

This separate processor contains closed source, proprietary binaries that have complete and unrestricted access to the host. Despite a large petition for AMD to opensource this, they refused in the end. [2][3]

Anyone running AMD chipsets have a completely separate and unaccessible operating system running on their computer that they can not control nor know exactly what it's doing. [4]

Intel has the same sort of system with it's Intel Management Engine (known as Intel ME) that even the NSA didn't want to have running on their own computers. [5]

Ask HN: Why do checkout pages still explain CVV numbers?
Every time I purchase things online with a credit/debit card the checkout page asks for my CVV number. It is absolutely guaranteed that said CVV entry box has a little [?] next to it to help explain to users what this number is and where to find it.

According to Wikipedia, this number was developed as early as 1995 [0], meaning we've had over 2 decades to become used to them.

So from a technical and design perspective, why don't more forms omit this? Why do we still need to explain this to shoppers? Can't we just put a little lock icon next to the CVV on a card, and then put the same icon on the site. This way that field can be visually matched by the user. From a user experience / product design standpoint, why aren't credit cards better designed to convey this information naturally?

Agreed. There'd be some howling from the mortgage and real estate industries though.

I have often thought that the mortgage interest deduction is actually a subsidy to banks (because if you pay cash you get no deduction) and existing homeowners (because it supports existing prices).
More to the point, if this became the commonly-accepted sane way to do things, php would support it directly and it would be easy.

And those bigger and heavier vehicles destroy the roads even more quickly. In some parts of the UK the roads are really bad if you don't drive a giant 4x4 (medium sized by US standards), so more people get them, and the roads get even worse. What's more is these giant vehicles make using the road less pleasurable for everyone as now every road is essentially more narrow due to the width of the vehicles and the damage at the edge.

It seems obvious to me that these larger vehicles should pay more tax to compensate for the damage and the inconvenience for other road users, but they pay exactly the same amount as small cars.

I've driven on gravel roads in South Africa and they often get this bumpy texture to them which is due to people driving on them really fast with big cars. It means if you have a medium-sized car you're stuck doing about 20mph and buggering up your suspension.
True, it seems far-fetched at first. We should keep in mind that a even few short years ago theorizing about the US Government operating a widespread domestic electronic surveillance dragnet was still the realm of delusional conspiracy theorists.
It cost them less, you get downgraded to lower res streams and in exchange they don’t limit how much you can view.

And the idea is they have a choice, raise base prices, or add packages. It’s not add packages or don’t.

What are the reasons the hardware the microcode is running on isn't directly exposed to the user? Why shouldn't we teach our compilers to generate code for the lowest level possible?
Side Project Marketing
Yes. And yes.

One dimensional array + index multiplication doesn't make it clear to the compiler that the rows are disjoint. So the compiler can't assume there's no aliasing. It also probably can't strength-reduce the multiply to an add when advancing through an array in the "wrong" direction. FORTRAN compilers have been doing subscripting optimizations like that since 1956.

After those optimizations, it may be possible to use some of the SSE instructions on x86.

CVV is simply three letters, I don't see how an icon would fare better.
Looking at [4] tells me that no modern, relevant CPU supports what libreboot needs/requires, so while not a good point it doesn't help deciding between AMD or Intel - and those are, for better or worse, the only relevant CPUs for laptops/desktops.
A great example would be to explain differences between bind, call, and apply in JS. Especially when talking about the difference between call and apply you might want to be familiar with the function signatures of each. Object.create. requestAnimationFrame. Promises. Knowing ES6 syntax vs traditional prototypal inheritance in JS.

Can't be said enough, you absolutely must understand scope in JS without the need to reference docs.

Another example, I once had to do a coding challenge in front of a camera recording my coding session where having intimate familiarity with sort, filter, map, etc was useful.

That's not the only language I've dealt with in interviews, but statistically probably the language you could associate w/ most readily.

Finally I'll mention that it's no joke these days when you're interviewing as a developer w/ experience in one of the modern JS frameworks. Especially in places like SF and NY. If you don't have experience in at least one you should start now. If you have "experience" but have never felt the need to dig a little deeper now would be a great time to do so.
Of course! Blockchain is the solution for everything! /s
I think you don't understand what net neutrality is?

Yes, electricity companies do charge you like a dumb pipe, exactly as ISPs should (and most are).

A dumb pipe does not mean that the ISP cannot count your traffic and bill you for it, possibly even at varying rates throughout the day. It only means that the ISP doesn't get to look at the contents of your traffic, just as the electricity company doesn't get too look at what you use your electricity for.

A non-neutral electricity company would be one that didn't charge you according to load on their network and generation facilities, but based on the application you use electricity for. Now, they usually do offer various plans intended for different types of uses--but mind you that that does not mean that you only get to use them for those uses, the contract is about load profiles and energy prices.

For example, you might have a plan for storage heaters. But there is absolutely nothing that forces or requires you to use the electricity for storage heaters. The contracts is simply about different prices per kWh during different times of the day. If you run a startup that produces gadgets at night using cheap electricity from that plan, that is perfectly fine.

Fetching email from gmail's IMAP server produces exactly the same load on an ISP's network as fetching email from some local email provider's IMAP server. Net neutrality is about not distinguishing between those. There is nothing wrong with offering a "1 GB/month, 1 Mb/s" plan that is well-suited for only receiving and sending emails. The problem is when they want to prevent me from using IRC instead, or they only allow specific email providers.
It's been going on longer than the article suggests. When I went trick-or-treating in the 1960s, my parents did not allow us to eat anything that was home-made or not in a sealed package, because they were worried about deliberate poisoning.

Around 1972 or 73 on Halloween, some neighborhood kid found a razor blade in an apple. Turned out he'd inserted it himself as a prank.

A lot of things have much earlier roots than can be found with searches of documents.

Nope, you're totally wrong and it seems it's you that can't read. The 10GB/month is for these apps only, not for general-purpose use (you can still buy 10GB/mo of general internet, of course, but that sets you back 25€, if I'm not mistaken). And anyway, the point is that yes, this is a net neutrality violation. Giving dirt cheap data for use in the established giants' services only cements their rule and stifles innovation, by putting any newcomers on very unequal ground. Who the hell would watch a Netflix competitor if that means paying 5x more for data? That's what this is all about.

So much superiority, so much tut-tutting, such a telling off, but it seems you got the "facts" wrong after all. And god knows what you mean by "this is what got Trump elected" (unless you mean lying through your teeth, then maybe you got that right).

> enables devices powered by Snapdragon 800 processors to be “woken up” by a custom voice command (beginning with a custom phrase set by the device OEM like “Hey Snapdragon”, for example)

Because they are always on and have to use minimal power, these chips are used to recognise a very specific term (probably why these companies don't let you customise how you summon the assistant), and cannot do anything like voice transcription, network calls, ... (which would just kill your battery).
An important part of making education free or nearly free is not the total cost born by society, but the change in incentive. If we all pay for university whether we go or not, it is more likely that we'll decide it is worthwhile to pursue an education.
There can always be a better answer.
It does stifle competition, but it benefits the consumer, which is why I feel like it should be regulated on a case by case basis.

The same way a company can take multiple steps that stifle innovation, that individually to end completion, but cumulatively put it in a position where it can’t be competed with.
I think the risk versus reward for Facebook and other companies is very high. All things being equal, I think it's more likely than not they will record things, will listen for words you say, and use that. The risk is enormous if it comes out with proof, but let's say they only listen a small percentage of the time, that kind of AI analysis is priceless.
