The monetary value proposition of grad school simply isn't very good if you're a US citizen. There is non-monetary value (like advancing human knowledge) that makes grad school worth it for some, but the pay is low.

Imagine you just graduated from a quality undergrad with high grades and strong recommendations from your professors. Maybe you had an internship or two or spent a summer doing research. Maybe you even have authorship on a published paper as an undergrad. You could be a very strong grad school candidate. Or you could just get a corporate job right out of undergrad.

Lets look at the options.

Option 1: You go to grad school and spend ~6 years working extremely long hours at nearly minimum wage with no benefits.

Option 2: You start at ~100K USD/year with benefits working for Big Tech/Finance/Big Oil/Pharma/Defense/etc. In those ~6 years you likely work fewer hours than a grad student. You have the free time to meet someone and the income to start a family.

Most people will chose Option 2. The two main types of people who chose Option 1 are those who are passionate about learning and advancing human knowledge and those who want a career where a PhD is required.

If instead you're a citizen of "India, China, Korea, Turkey and other foreign countries" (quoted from the article) then the calculus is completely different. Not only do you get to advance human knowledge, but you get to live and work (as a TA or RA) in the US for ~6 years. After graduation you have a good chance of landing a well paying job for a US-based firm or becoming a professor or research scientist.
SMR drives would benefit from TRIM / Discard support. That's what I've been speculating. Afaik SMR drives aren't using TRIM?
It looks like it should, there's an installer here: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

But there's also a bug here: https://github.com/uploadcare/pillow-simd/issues/9

If you're using open source software like Python I'd really recommend either leaving Windows, using the bash subsystem or running a Linux VM though. Most of the open source ecosystem lives on *nix and you'll rarely find people who port their projects to Windows.

Have you looked at an 87W USB-C charger to see if this was addressed with the latest generation of laptops?
CarPlay is also probably a limiting factor. There are a few options for wireless CarPlay, but it seems the vast majority of implementations still rely on the cable. I doubt Apple would be willing to effectively kill such a feature with so much investment and partnership, and without an effective and equivalent alternative available.

Sounds a lot like the headphone jack now that I type it out, but I guess ‘if you want to listen to music, buy Bluetooth headphones if you haven’t already, or use the adapter’ is easier on the consumer than ‘if you want to keep using carplay, buy a BMW.’
It is also possible that he never realized the gain. An example would be to gift the shares directly to a trust which sells and then 'loans' BO the money. Tada! You made a billion dollars disappear. That is, I believe, lawful. Consult a qualified legal representative, however.
Did you know Debian's reportbug has a feature in it that lets you send kudos instead of reporting an issue?

> Just few life cycles to learn rest is plain javascript

People say this but I feel like it's disingenuous: real world experience with JSX is that you need to master a whole slew of special constraints / restrictions and exceptions before you are using it efficiently. It is effectively learning another language with about the same complexity as the template constructs in Vue.
You mislinked to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_union

Think about it. What’s the point of holding specific votes at specific employers to unionize? Union locals and unions in general do not solicit competitive bids for contract work as the OP implied. That simply doesn’t happen, and to believe that it does, is to not understand how unions operate.

One could imagine that IBM could have failed to make the transition from analog machines like this to digital computers, yet they didn't. Meanwhile, other companies such as Kodak failed to capitialize on the analog to digital transiton. Was it just a difference in executive leadership?

Not working for Google, but I think it's for multiple reasons.

- hardware has gotten a lot faster, which helps the second reason.

- Google giving away free GGC nodes to ISPs (if you meet their requirements). The distribution of these nodes has gotten a lot wider since container days.

- Google is building more smaller scale (a dozen racks or so) traditional data centers closer to ISPs.

I don't think shipping container design was never a very good idea, to begin with - it was an interesting experiment that didn't scale as well as they thought it would.

Grad school for Americans is not a good investment, except maybe MBA, but that should belong to its own category. Often too short, less than 2 years, not really enough time for decent research, yet expensive, the chance of getting sponsorship is slim.

Grad school in US, thus is made for foreign students to get their foot on this country. It has a few attractions: It is short. Cost less than Bachelor Degree. It offers a chance to get familiar with the culture . Count as advanced degree so bigger chance to land a H1-B visa under condition you have a job offer. And most importantly, American Universities know this. They specifically design the programs to target foreigners, and made a shit load of money out of it.
The latest fad among most of the engineering graduates in India is going for an M.S degree, as you said most of them go to US not for the top quality education but mostly as an entry to the job market there. In that case M.S makes the most sense instead of phd, because if you are anyways going for a job might as well finish the most basic requirement and go job hunting. The banks here are happy to offer loans, which when compared to the higher salaries in US are easily payable in 2-3 years.
Those things aren't unspeakable, though. They're things we may (many do) have shame — or at least discomfort talking openly — about, but that's definitely surmountable, if perhaps uncomfortably so.

My current partner and I have very frank discussions about sex and fantasy and stuff. We've talked about things that are pretty far outside social norms, because we've explicitly agreed to engage from a place of not judging one another for our fantasies — particularly those that might somehow be transgressive.

Yes, it's risky. Very. The outcome of having taken that risk includes a deeper understanding of one another, greater acceptance of one another, and some surprise, "Oh, you're into that, too?" that might never have happened if we hadn't decided to play that way (and, of course, an opportunity to explore those things).

Someone who has a desire or fantasy that they want fulfilled without having to have that conversation with their partner is either delusional or in for some disappointment. Or, more likely, both.

Along with the reasons others mentioned, 2 cells means higher voltage, so the battery can deliver the same power using less current.
If by latest fad, you mean since the 90s, then yes.
If you look at it from a purely economics perspective, sure. But many grad programs are not that expensive. It's hard to overestimate how valuable it is to get the grad class experience (much smaller classes, direct interaction and discussion with world experts in their fields, and really interesting discussions/viewpoints due to those foreign students). There's no learning experience quite like it.

I think the true argument is that you can read the Go specification in a slightly extended sitting, whereas (for example), the current working draft for C++ is 1416 pages.
They would show up wanting to find a download, and GutHub's UI was not set up like a typical private software website with a big "Download" button or menu item. It was off to the side, and I believe it said "Clone or Download", and these people are thinking, "is this some insider speak--am I at the right site?" And if you were just downloading, pretty soon you got told that you were ripping yourself off because downloading was so '80s, just clone the repo... Anyway you get the idea. All of a sudden tons of helpful UI resources were intermeshed with this GitHub ecosphere instead of living elsewhere, like on a lovingly-designed personal website with a pleasant UI that had not been mingled with versioning software.
Can confirm, 800 dollars is nothing for average Chinese family, consider how highly the value education. The money they send their kids to cramp school for college entrance exam can easily top that. The bigger question here, is how to earn to ticket to get into top schools.
(An amusing note on ferry control. In San Francisco, at the Hyde Street Pier, there is a large steam powered car ferry boat, the Eureka, from 1890. That boat is powered by a double-acting one-cylinder engine driving both side paddlewheels. It's reversible, with some difficulty. It cannot get itself started at top dead center or bottom dead center. So there's a giant pry bar, about eight feet long, which can be used to get it started. You can see this hanging on a bulkhead near the engine.

Think about operating this turkey. This car ferry docks nose into the dock, not parallel to it. You're coming into the dock, and have to stop and reverse the engine to slow. If the stopping and reversing operation results in the engine stopped at dead center, there's no power until the crew frantically gets the pry bar and levers the engine into a position where a power stroke is possible. Screw up and you crash into the dock. It's a ferry boat, so it docks a dozen times a day.

Now that's a control problem.

The Eureka is the last surviving example of this design. Other paddlewheel ferries were built, but usually with multiple engines or multiple cylinders.)

Think about it, if you have even the remotest capability in reading DL research and simultaneously a decently impressive ability to gab, you can sell a startup idea to GM/Ford/etc. for billions on no real insight. Of course some of these people are gonna stew angrily about whether their 500k compensation is the limit. I bet anyone making that 300k+ at Netflix thinks they could easily do some basic spinoff utilizing their main job objective and further they could use the Netflix background as a credential. It gets ludicrous, but you'll never have much better than what Netflix right now is achieving in employee satisfaction. In fact it's a wonder it's so good.
There are literally hundres of updates for apps that make them iPhone X screen and FaceID friendly. Pretty prematured reaction to return a device because third party software isn't updated in the first hours of release.

Moreover, you were using it wrong: You don't have to click th button to use FaceID to unlock the device.
Those programs, with the mentioned quality would not be cheap. But that might be true for US citizens, because usually the school charges less from them. I think I missed somewhat the definition of the grad school here. Majority of the grad students come here for Masters not PhDs, and for the former, the stuff you mentioned, like smaller classes, interaction with professors cannot really be taken for granted, and from my anecdotal experience, it is not true.
Which is exactly why transistors were a bad idea. We need mechanical-powered bitcoin miners.

I was actually just being tongue-in-cheek from the get-go.
I'd say my experience at a top school in a STEM PhD was the opposite, classes were largely useless, often superficial and the priority was clearly to do independent research.

Carnival scam science, and how to win [video]
I'm using ouicards[0] in my project (example: [1]). First thing i did was writing a 'thank you' email to the author. They saved me many hours and gave me a jump start with design, which is always the most difficult thing for me personally.
I did change many parts, but it was a breeze.

Based on this work i maintain a basic gun knowledge course, which sees more than 5k trainees a year. Now in Poland a lot more people can pass the official exam (it has two parts: theory, taken care of by my course, and shooting, which requires additional classes at a gun range), since learning is faster, simpler and more thorough.

really? very cool, thanks a lot, I didn't know
Ah, more economists making predictions based on very general theory without bothering to validate against the empirical evidence.

Here's an awesome article posted on HN last year, where the author laboriously compiled advertised rental rates going back to 1948.

https://experimental-geography.blogspot.com/2016/05/employme...

His data clearly shows that the long-term rate of increase in rents continued unchanged after rent control was imposed in 1979. It's basically been steady since the mid 1950s. Year-to-year variations are best explained by variations in income and number of employed persons.

Moreover, growth in housing stock didn't appreciably drop after rent control. It has slowed slightly since the 1960s but it would be hard to pin that all on rent control as the regulatory environment has become much more strict.

EDIT: Here's a more succinct conclusion from someone who tried to reproduce the results from the same data:

Using those methods and Mr. Fischer's data, we find that
median rents in San Francisco are best predicted by average
per capita annual income and total employment. We further
find that there *IS NOT sufficient evidence that total
housing unit inventory has a significant effect on the
median rent in San Francisco*.

EDIT EDIT: The Stanford authors did use Fischer's data for median rents. See page 10.

My plan is not to invest all of my time in 1 startup, I was thinking of doing 2 or 3 a year, I don't want to build their whole product! In 5 years I am going to have a portfolio of 10 to 15 startups, if one or two do 20x, I would collect all of my money plus nice return! And it is much more fun than to work 70 hours a week for a company for 5 years!

Legally what is the best way to reduce a chance of being cut of in sell or exit?
I’d prefer a usage description in the form of “we’re using this software in X to do Y and it handles Z payload every day”. A simple thanks is just a distraction that you need to click through and acknowledge, zero useful.
It was so touching to read the thank you note and the response to it.
Unless the C++ draft is 90+% stdlib, it's still quite a difference in size (printed, which would not be a good way to use it, the Go spec is 90 pages). And I'd consider it normative, though not to the point of "spec wins if the spec and the toolchain disagree".
Extremely well said.
Sounds like they would be perfect for Cassandra, or anything else that uses SSTables.

Ask HN: How to build my college startup ecosystem?
I have been working with the Entrepreneurship Cell of my college for the last 1.5 years. We have conducted:
- ideation bootcamps around the country
- an international business model competition
- a new entrepreneurial learning program
- annual guest lectures by prominent personalities
- A summer internship program for startups.
Despite all these initiatives being held for the last 10 years, we do not get much attraction from the college crowd. Are we doing anything wrong? Is an Entrepreneurship society just a useless club?

Ok, sorry that wasn't 100% clear to me, but in this case it makes sense.

To the best of my knowledge you have no legal solution -- that's probably where investors may give you good advice. But if the founders decide to close down and go work for another company, there's no liquidation event. This said, we go back to the 1:20, if your plan is to invest in many, then you should be good.
I disagree. I was able to pick up reactjs in a day. And have been working on it for nearly 2 years from small to large codebases. I have just glanced vuejs but I am learning angular because of work project. Angular is way more complex then react. There are so many special tags to learn which is similar to vuejs tags from looking at the doc. What you need to matter in react would be JavaScript itself.
I was thinking the same thing actually!

Good UI is overrated in utility apps. Audacity, for the people who use it, use it very frequently. It's a powerful tool with a specific purpose. The initial few minutes of confusing UI are trounced by the hundreds of hours people spend in the program after they have all the UI and keyboard shortcuts memorized. Could it be better? Yes. Should it be a priority? Nah.
I believe the OP was saying that JSX is transformed into pure javascript, not that it's literally javascript.
