However, university cost inflation is even greater than health care costs. One of the only logical reasons is that as more “free” or “cheap” government money enters the system, the more inflation. Ready availability of student loans has made universities much more insulated from market pressures than “normal” industries.

If you were to eliminate student loans, costs would drop like a rock. You wouldn’t have universities hiring endless Vice Provosts of Some Bullshit Initiative or spending 10s of millions building “Student Life Centers” or luxury-level athletic facilities for sports that aren’t revenue self-sustaining. Universities are like the military — they pay the privates (adjunct professors) almost nothing while spending huge money on things like the Crusader Artilley System (insert random boondoggle university initiative here.)

Considering university tuition at a private university for a single student per year is literally more expensive than the salary of a single low level professor, it’s clear universities are running quite a racket. And we haven’t even touched on the insanity that is textbook pricing.
I don't understand SELinux and I have not found a document that explains for the average Joe like me what it is for and why doesn't my qemu-libvirt work when it is enabled, which is the default. It took me two nights to figure out that SELinux prevents qemu-libvirt to read certain ROM files that I need.

So after scratching my head, I just turned it off altogether. Other than that, Fedora has been really rock solid, great distribution for me at home. I'm still using Ubuntu on my laptop and desktop at work, though. Ubuntu has been really good as well.
Exactly, this is the only reason why I don’t use anything other than Chrome. While I really want to switch to FF. Chrome “add to desktop” does make website almost as like a desktop app and without unnecessary tabbar and stuff.

I wish firefox could do that.

That being said, I don’t use any native app at all other than a terminal emulator. Just terminal + vscode + chrome.
The comment itself doesn't seem all that terrible though. Perhaps a little tone deaf but not at all offensive.
We actually fixed that failure mode three years ago with the release of Firefox Sync 1.5. The encryption key can now be re-derived from your password, so you can always recover your data as long as you remember your password. Even if you lose all of your devices.
That depends on what it is they are measuring and what they use those results for.

Norway and Sweden (and several other European countries) are trying to balance the good parts of capitalism and socialism, while avoiding the bad parts of both, and providing more freedom than the worst manifestations of both.
I'm also baffled by the popularity of "watching other people play video games". I get it when there is some event or tournament, or when some part is particularly interesting but to do it for hours and hours and hours for years... I don't get it, probably too old.
As someone who exited a chapter 7 bankruptcy (all dischargeable debts wiped out) in 2010 with $140K USD in student loans, I can say with certainty that student loan debt sucks.

> Ie, the web is for content, not applications.

Ideally yes, but that horse left the barn years ago. The browser becomes more capable, chalk full of more APIs over time, not less.
I dunno... React and React Native are nice. I would prefer to use those for UI but do everything else in C++14 or some other real language. The web stuff could just be the view.
Thank you so much. That change, combined with the switch to the Light theme, makes Firefox so incredibly better on macOS.
23 years ago, Steve Jurvetson was the only VC to respond to the 150 letters I sent out while seeking capital for my first startup. At the time he had not yet made partner at DFJ (it was just Draper Fisher back then). I was really impressed by his intelligence. At the time I was delivering pizza while working my way through a physics degree, designing a fusion reactor in my spare time. He cared about real advances in technology, and he and Tim Draper gave me a chance. Without him making the decision to speak to me, my whole life and career would have been different.

I don't know anything about whether Steve was inappropriate towards women or not. I've never worked closely enough with him to know, and I haven't spoken to him in many years. But I can't help but hope that he's doing ok. I hope he either gets vindication if he's innocent, or comes to peace with his actions if he is not. The rest of you may see him now as a powerful middle-aged man, but I still remember him as the young hotshot with something to prove.

There's no replacement for ScrapBook, a plugin where I have a decade of stored annotated documents (no hyperbole, my oldest files date from 2007). Ever since I discovered that FF57 was going to kill ScrapBook I had to disable Firefox updates so I don't lose access to ~6GB of stored data. It's a mix of past, present, and future writing research.

I know I have access to clumsy workarounds such as copying FF56 to a VM with updates disabled, or to have parallel Firefox installs, but Scrapbook is a daily-use tool for me, and clunky workarounds won't last long.

I'm thinking about reverse-engineering the way ScrapBook stores data so I can write my own migration to something else, but...oof.

Anybody have any suggestions for another plugin/product that offers the same features? Or, dare I dream, one that can import everything from ScrapBook? My searches for the latter have come up dry, but perhaps something obscure exists.
I'm just glad that uBlock₀ works in Firefox 57.0 for Android.
What they really want is having no semblance of a state that might have interests conflicting with those of a few friends, namely Israel and Saudi Arabia. Anything else, including pure chaos, terrorism, misery and starvation seems to be a perfectly acceptable alternative.
It feels a lot snappier, but I definitely am not seeing a memory improvement. `about:memory` shows ~230MB for the top one, but task manager shows me at 1.3GB. I only have 13 tabs open. Yesterday this same tab set was running about the same memory. I know my linux computer at home runs lower memory with more tabs (that one hasn't been updated to 57 yet)

But the browser speed feels A LOT smoother.

Update: In the last hour I'm now reading about 1.8GB at 16 tabs. Still acting really fast though.

Right but climate changes and what is acceptable and not changes over time. What was empowering in the 1970s is today something different. What is suffocating today will tomorrow be different.

> We're still a long ways off from garbage-collected languages inside wasm.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Is there some limitation inherent to WebAssembly that makes implementing garbage collection particularly difficult?

I come from a blue collar family. I was the first person in my family to graduate college. But that wasn't my plan initially. During summers in high school I worked installing HVAC systems. After graduating high school I started a plumbing apprenticeship. It was what I discovered during that apprenticeship that made me decide to go to college instead (during college I had a job doing carpentry as well).

I'm not saying all people in the trades are this way, but you find a lot of people who are alcoholics. It often does not impact their job, but people drinking a case of beer a day is not uncommon. If you can avoid drinking, the next problem is the damage you do to your body on the job. You are often lifting heavy things. You will be using dangerous power tools often. Any little loss of focus will lead to serious injury or worse. And even if you avoid that, there is only so much your body can take. Many people need surgeries or become crippled as they age.

Many of the people I once worked with have died from alcoholism, smoking, or related cancers. My own father is now forcefully retired due to back and knee issues. He can barely walk. He meets up monthly with the other people he worked with, who are now retired, and it is not a pretty site. I personally don't know anyone in this line of work who is happily retired and living the dream, so to speak.

The trades are very much about physical work and physical labor. Not everyone can take that kind of work for a lifetime.

Bitcoin Cash celebrates protocol upgrade through hard fork
I am not redefining the term. The common understanding of "Socialism" is far divorced from what Marx and Engels were talking about, or even their predecessors such as Owen or Ricardo. The confusion over the term is evident, especially in the United States, in which several people, even in this thread, claim that capitalism with a social democratic model is "Socialism". It is in my opinion very important to maintain purity in terminology for risk of losing something greater by society deciding that certain ideas are "too Utopian" without speaking it.

I also encourage you to use the original definition of the term.

So the difference is that Norway uses it carefully, while Venezuela uses it recklessly. It's not the idea that's the problem, it's the way it's applied.
I beg to differ from what author says. Am kind of reluctant to materialize all my thoughts, it can be good to note down the ideas but with what author suggests to take dump of my entire brain and its thought is bit over rated.

This feels like a CRUD app builder disguised as a visual programming tool. I generally avoid those things because they are hard to debug or extend.

Perhaps this is different because of GraphQL?

In this case, I would typically reach for a battle-tested CRUD building framework like Rails that gives you JSON APIs for free. I am not as familiar with GraphQL frameworks, but I suppose that I could find one as well if I really wanted that.

I am not really sure what people mean by "CMS" anymore. I have always thought of it as a place for people to create and publish pages. It is confusing to me when people use it to mean a structured database.

Maybe we need a new word.

Although I don't necessarily disagree with DDD, I think this article starts out with an odd premise--namely, that DDD is necessary simply because a scaffold system generated a controller that lets you update every attribute of a model, including one that should be read-only.

I've never once created an API that allowed such a thing (updating model attributes willy-nilly), which is essentially just a weird datastore. Instead of updating an account's balance directly via the /accounts/1 endpoint, you should instead associate the account with a transaction model, and create transactions (debit or credit) via /transactions that are then used to calculate the account's final read-only balance.

This seems more like a data modeling problem than a CRUD problem, and it makes the article's premise seem forced. I mean, you don't see Stripe letting me update my available balance directly, instead I have to use charges, invoices, and transfers.
I recently stumbled across http://go-colly.org/, that looks well thought out and simple to use. It seems like a slimmed down Go version of Scrapy.

Is there a pre-57 theme for the UI?

The new one is way too minimalist. It also appears to target people with poor sight all chrome elements suddenly became larger.

EDIT - The upgrade also wiped all GreaseMonkey scripts for some reason. Hmm.

EDIT - Downgraded back to 56. Way too many jarring UI changes as well as the AddOn breakage to justify the new snappiness. Mozilla also appears to have pulled the link to the "old releases" page from their main website, so here it is - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases
As far as your edit is concerned, try searching for "browser.tabs.tabMinWidth" in "about:config".

I know it's available in Beta / Nightly, but I don't know if it got backported to Stable nor will it.
It snowballed a bit, but overall it reflects the disregard gamers feel from EA: they try to make a $60+ game that also has microtransactions (Games-as-a-Service) and everything that is buyable by microtransactions has to be impossible/extra tedious to achieve in regular play to bait the whales(their actual target demographic) into wasting a ton of money (while the average gamer is just plankton/social bait to EA). And then they try to bullshit their way out of it with this argument.
We track most of our bugs in Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org). Once you've created an account, go to File a Bug, Core, and choose "Audio/Video: Playback" as the Component in the form.

If Bugzilla's a bit of a pain, just let me know and I'll happily file it for you.

I didn't choose to update yet, for exactly that reason.

The problem remains that now I have to choose between:

57 (without many useful extensions)

52ESR (without functionality and performance updates, and only until mid-2018 anyway)

Clearly none of these is as good as what I have had until this point.

The longer the press release and/or the more legalese, the worse the story or in this case, withdrawal from a previous market. Positive, constructive press releases are very short by comparison.
Something about offering to delete a users data before material changes to the privacy policy took effect would be meaningful in more circumstances than acquisition.

It's kinda maybe in there already, but not directly (there is an offer to delete data and the language about continuing to use the service given a change).

I consider the pledge to be nearly meaningless. It's certainly a statement of good faith from the people working at and controlling the company today, but without any sort of legal teeth, it's also little more than a wet napkin.

When you donate, an alert pops up on the stream and the streamer will, in almost every case, acknowledge the donation and thank you for it.

What in Earth do you mean a "quid pro quo?" Twitch user gives entertainment and in return the donor kicks in some cash of they want to. Just like a busker.

If you feel they provide you with $500 in entertainment and you have a spare $500, then it makes sense.

That's like asking "why would you go to a casino when you know casinos make lots of money?"

If you're watching Larry David's shows the business transaction has already taken place. Larry David doesn't stream his shows for free and give you the opportunity to give him donations in exchange and then thank donors during the episode.

I hope so. On Fedora 26 I still have to drop back to X11 in order to get my XPS13 to properly detect my external monitor (DisplayPort), Wayland will only allow the default lowest resolution with no option to increase it, which is very sad on a 28" 4K screen :-(

Will give Fedora 27 a go this evening and see...
I am mostly on board with this, actually. The experience with machinectl and systemd-nspawn is also completely broken because there are no sane default SELinux rules for it.

However in my experience so far, the defaults do not get in your way during regular usage. You typically only encounter such issues when you're also in the position to fix them. And I think in general it's a great idea to have default deny policies for containers and VMs.

> So after scratching my head, I just turned it off altogether.

Please don't do this. It's not worth disabling an entire security system if you can just spend some time to figure out a command to make the system work for you. Fedora even has gui tools that notify you when you encounter an SELinux issue. See stopdisablingselinux.com.
