I'm not thinking just SS. Imagine in 30-40 years when SW engineers are retiring with their $5m 401k, but their neighbor is still barely making rent at their service-level job. I imagine there are many more people who have foregone retirement savings to pay off their massive college loans.

Politically, the story would be something like this: why should you, a multi-millionaire SW engineer who hasn't paid taxes on your 401k not pay your fair share so that these other folks can spend some time with their families? After all, they were the victims of predatory lending! Close the loophole that allowed your opulent lifestyle!

And remember, 401ks are a multi-trillion dollar market of untaxed dollars. Do you really think tomorrow's politician in 30-40 years is going to miss that, never mind their constituents?
"Holidays also can literally pay off. One study of more than 5,000 full-time American workers found that people who took fewer than 10 of their paid holiday days a year had a little more than a one-in-three chance of getting a pay rise or a bonus over three years. People who took more than 10 days? A two in three chance."

I'm reminded of the best sysadmin I have ever known. You'd see him at weekly staff meetings, but most of the time he'd be in his office, probably playing nethack. He was part of the furniture.

Then he'd go on vacation and all hell would break loose. I figured that was his way of letting everyone know he still existed.
What kind of noise
My neice and nephew love this game. They're 5 & 7. My only complaint is that I think the difficulty ramps up a bit fast or their could be a bit more easier levels. Would pay for that.
That part is based on trust. Most clients are happy enough that we have recovered their funds and are also doing their end of the deal. If there are to much clients not doing their end, then we will have to scratch the partial wallet deal. But at the moment we didn't have any client rejecting the fee.
Say what? I'd say a "propper scientist" will know about the "scientific process" pretty well.

Sure, there are plenty of pseudo scientists out there that promote their political or economic agendas, but you can't discredit all science because of that.

Right now "hard" science is the best way to explain things around us and the universe. Sure, often it is wrong as new science gets discovered, but that's how human knowledge evolves.

As for the "soft" sciences (anything social/psyc, etc), that's a completely different matter. They are more prone to trends, fads and more personal biases, hence I would put them in a different category.
Bitcoin is consumable so it doesn't actually qualify as a fiat currency. Independent of its USD exchange rate it can be used on the Bitcoin blockchain regardless of third party support. People seem to dissociate bitcoin as a digital object and see it merely as a tradable unit of currency.
Just an FYI: Many people are posting about Newegg, which may still have great prices, but it's important to note that it was bought by a Chinese company and there's tons of recent threads complaining about issues and a lack of customer service, and that it feels entirely different now.
I think like, with most things, it's all about the tradeoff.

I have one in my house in the living room. It basically exists to have an easy way of turning on Spotify. We don't have sensitive conversations in the living room. If someone were listening, they'd mostly get me scolding my children and asking what's for dinner. The might also steal a token to connect to Spotify. My AWS account isn't linked to the same account as my Alexa, and requires TFA, so that's safe.

I wouldn't put this device in my bedroom. I also was less interested when my kids were young enough that I might actually have a sensitive conversation anywhere. I'd considered putting one in my tv room to control the tv, but that's about it.

I don't regard the Alexa as a greater vulnerability to my house than my phone, and I already accept owning a smart phone. I am concerned about the same things you are, but I view it as more of a trade-off than a simple "just don't do it!" attitude.

"There's some inherent value added to a person who pursues to study a bit of humanities, history, philosophy and art in college apart from their major. Scholarly work really helps shape the way you look at life for the better."

I dont feel this is the case, and I wouldnt say its priceless. its on average ~30k$ + 2 years of extra course work, and honestly, we are getting very little bang for our buck.

it has little impact on my career, but cutting my tuition nearly in half, and giving nearly 2 years back to me would be huge.

> The amount of joy people get from gambling for fun is outweighed by the amount of grief gambling addiction causes.

Show me some empirical data backing this belief and you might have an actual argument.

Gambling (in moderation) is literally the only thing my parents have in common (other than mutual respect), and they've been together nearly 50 years.

I have definitely enjoyed my trips to Mohegan Sun, Atlantic City and Las Vegas, even if I've lost money on the trip.

The vast majority of people who gamble are not addicted to it and participate in moderation.

> ...four years doing something hate for a useless degree they'll never use.

Or 4-5 years getting a piece of paper saying "Computer Science" when they can't do the work, because society says "CS makes money" and the CS department is happy to take it. If people with only a high school degree can't make a living, we need to either make college free, or make companies pay for it.
> I'd say "bite the bullet, and that's what banks get for giving out risky loans" but we know that's not going to play out that way, especially since the gov owns a fair portion.

> Making tuition free is nice...

I think it's funny that you have these two ideas so close together... The government owning most of the loans provides a very easy path to enabling free college retroactively: extinguish all the loans. The government doesn't have a profit incentive, so there's no reason that such a path should not be reasonable.
I think the continuous price/time priority limit order book is flawed, but the least bad option out there, similar to democracy. Speed will still matter in batch auctions if other continuous exchanges trade correlated products--the only way to prevent that is to force all trading to happen worldwide on the batch auction exchange, leading to monopoly rents for the exchange operator. Is it better to have high fees without arbitrage than extremely low fees and tiny arbitrages where fast traders are netting fractions of a basis point? It's not clear to me.

Also lots of liquidity in ETFs and other derivative products is provided based on being able to hedge quickly in other tickers with high probability. If I'm making a market in XLF (S&P Financials ETF), but my orders to hedge in BAC, GS, MS, C, ... all get held up in a batch auction, that's extra risk. I can't make a tight spread, large size market in the ETF since the price of the basket components can drift away after I get a fill.

Budish also argues that arbitrages aren't competed away. It's true that arbitrageurs will never eliminate arbitrages, only make them last for shorter periods of time. However, natural market participants can change their behavior to eliminate them, and they have.

If everyone trading S&P 500 futures also traded SPY with orders that arrived simultaneously, fewer arbitrages would exist to be exploited. You don't even need to be fast to do this, just precise with timing. This kind of routing is very common in equities markets and it's a big part of why many early HFT scalping models no longer work regardless of how fast you are.
It's also deceptive to downplay the situation by only looking at the debt in students' names. Many parents take out loans on behalf of their children. E.g. Parent Plus Loans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLUS_Loan
I do literally none of those things. I prefer TV to radio, have measuring instruments in the right units, and my oven has an easy to use timer that will even shut the oven off — no smart plugs required.
I've been building my own since around 2010. I buy components mainly from Amazon and Newegg, but I also purchase from Fry's and Best Buy occasionally if they have something I need in stock and I can price-match online retailers.

I also highly recommend Micro Center. I loved that store but occasionally the location near me (Santa Clara, CA) closed not too long ago and was replaced by a Wal-Mart.

The Dell and Lenovo Outlet in the US also have some great deals on refurbished laptops if you are interested.
The exchange doesn't sell/buy. It just connects the buyers/sellers. There are brokers that do that but you can't call them an exchange. I also think regulation prevent exchanges from trading on their own exchange to avoid front-running and since they have lots of information about the users/deposits/etc...
Netflix doesn’t stream from AWS. Rather, they’ve built their own video CDN[1] with PoPs all over the globe. All of their user-facing streaming happens from their CDN. Their AWS infrastructure is used for billing, transcoding, playlists, etc. Also, they perform some seeding of the CDN from within AWS, but the seed boxes themselves can seed each other as well.

All in all, they clearly do push huge amounts of data out of AWS, but that data account for a very small percentage of the total data that gets pushed out to clients via their CDN.

Bitfinex is also lacking in evidence when it comes to showing that Tethers are backed by USD.
Burj Khalifa is not a utilitarian building, and clearly an outlier, so I don't really see why you would use it as an example except to mislead people. The Empire State Building which was mentioned in the article has 2.7 million square feet of office space built on 80k square feet of land.

I think you misunderstood. He/she said "default", not "forgive". As in, the people with the loans walk away from them and take the massive credit hit that comes with that, likely by filing for bankruptcy. The issue is that student loans are uniquely sticky, so a person with student loans today basically can't get out of them.

If it were possible, many people would choose to file for bankruptcy to release the loans, take the temporary hit, and start again. This would burn the treasury and banks who hold the loans, just like they get burned when they loan mortgage money to people who can't afford one and later default on it.

I'm working with an idea that you can go bankrupt on student loans, but in doing so you lose the degree - including all rights to a job that might use the degree.

There are a ton of things I haven't figure out (follow my post history for more detail on what I have)
Tether is how you short bitcoin -- it's hard to move USD out of exchanges, people are worried about a bitcoin (or "all cryptocurrencies") drop, so they move into tether hoping to buy back in after bitcoin goes down without having to do the expensive/difficult bitcoin-usd move.

This assumes that the price of bitcoin will go down but the rest of the system (exchanges, tether, mining, etc.) will stay intact.

As long as people want to short bitcoin there will be lots of demand for tether at a little over a dollar that the tether company will be happy to supply. These people will balance out anyone who wants out of tether in the short term, and it's impossible to lever your "tether goes down" position.

In the future, when people decide to turn around and sell in bulk for a little under a dollar, tether might not be able to make good, particularly if they were holding their balances in bitcoin instead of USD like they claim.

Bitcoin shorters might be willing to gamble that they can move faster than the tether market will collapse in that situation and not be the bagholder.

There's no way to short "the whole mess" aside from just not getting involved in the first place or trying to get your money out while you can.
I think Vivaldi miss the point in their blog post- the average western user probably wont much care about Vivaldi on the Pi 3. It's cool, but it's not groundbreaking. We have smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. But the Pi has traction in countries where alternative portals into the internet are few and far between. It might not be markedly better than Chromium, or other available browsers on the Pi, but another hat in the ring is never a bad thing.
One doesn't host bulk media in AWS. Netflix runs everything except that on AWS. I've contracted for two streamers that also used AWS for most things, both of them used CDNs rather than AWS for serving the big film files.
The PRAM batteries on old Macs tend to leak/explode, and can make a total mess of the logic board. If you can, pull the batteries out ASAP!

The electrolytic capacitors on most late-80s and early 90s Macs also will fail (and probably already have), they leak electrolytic fluid onto the board which can often cause damage.
I have several old Macs (SE/30, IIci, Q605, Color Classic) which I had to recap, and often had to fix eaten-away traces as well. The sooner you get them recapped, the better.
what is the name for arguments of the kind “Russia can already nuke us, so let's allow Iran and Kim bombs too”?
There's a question mark you left out in your quote because I was wondering what to call it but to express it as you ask - a sentiment by some in the country (UK) expressing a resentment or paranoia over another country (Germany) potentially having control somehow over what happens in the first country(UK) when there appears to an outsider (me) to be very little control by Angela Merkel (or whomever is in charge of Germany at this moment) of what the UK is doing or Brexit would not be happening ( at any and all costs from what I'm reading about the process favoured by the ruling party in the news)
As a counterpoint, it seems like everyone under 30 years old does not know how to drive anywhere without navigation assistance. People aren't learning how to read a map. Whenever I am in the car with someone else I have to direct them where to go. If you use devices or software to do everything for you, you do not develop any intuition for how things work or where things are.
>Similarly, the conventional wisdom says cryptocurrencies are in a massive speculative bubble. The negative sentiment on Bloomberg, WSJ, NYT, Twitter (not to mention HN) far outweighs the fanboys.

Sentiment of people not in the market (readers of WSJ, etc) doesn't really affect the price all that much. They didn't want to buy bitcoin at $4 they don't want to buy it at $14,000.

For mature markets, short sellers might do such a thing. But bitcoin is hard to short and the market is so irrational its risky to try. The CME might fix the former, but it won't fix the later.
I'm not sethhochberg, but if I had to guess: Government regulations.
But what in the hell is it? If your product is so revolutionary it defines a new market segment, you might want to bring the people with the money people up to speed.

It's still a market, so market logic should apply.

It's a market. Smart money can sell tethers. When there's information that all market participants know, the market price should reflect that information.

Definitely helpfull as other tools. But this recovers the secret key only if you didn't add a password to your wallet. Also we provide a service, because not everybody knows the inner workings of Bitcoin. Luckily we have a lot of these tools for tech savvy people. We also pledge to send Bitcoins to the third party tools that we use while recovering!
probably because it's troll bait
Your math is way off. First, you don't pay the full 42% on all your income. The effective date will likely be in the 25-30% range. Then you assume that the borrower will keep paying 10% down payment every year. That doesn't make sense.

Left wing ones lament that we haven't spent more on education. Right wing ones lament that people aren't taking advantage of the opportunities that have already been afforded.

From my own perspective (automation, and this could be my thought-bubble?), we have a situation where we need fewer and fewer people to do most of the important things. Due to that leverage, these positions are relatively few, and demand a very high level of knowledge, intelligence, and responsibility. If the world only needs a full-time staff of 30 to do X, training 30,000 to do it is just wasted time and effort.

The buzz currently seems to be around UBI to address this. Maybe the right way, maybe not. I have no crystal ball on that one.

So many people pin their hopes on "growth", but is that what we really need? We are already devouring the earth just to keep people busy cranking out and devouring BS. Watch the cartoons with your kids one day. Behold all of the neon goo and plastic junk being pushed on them. Then watch FOX with the parents. Advertised medicines to fix health problems they earned at the advertised restaurants and leisure activities. Advertised financial products and scams to maintain enough revenue to afford the rest of it.

So, as a prescription for making better-rounded individuals, education is fantastic. As a prescription for fixing "flyover country", I don't buy it.
Let's suppose it's 1775 and the American rebels want to fund an arguably-just fight against the ruling British.

Or let's suppose you run a VPN in China that allows the Chinese to arguably-justifiably access Western websites, and you need to launder your funds.

Or perhaps you're a spy inside ISIS and need to hide the fact that you're getting funded by the US.

Or perhaps you're in Iran and want to leave, but since Iran doesn't permit you to bring any money out of the country, you (arguably ethically and justifiably) decide to get it out via Bitcoins.

Being able to launder money is arguably very similar to being able to maintain privacy, which means it falls under Martin Fowler's excellent argument for privacy: https://www.martinfowler.com/articles/bothersome-privacy.htm...

I have never argued for money laundering in my life, but guys... you have to stop seeing everything in black-and-white.

If I can steal your question for the parent comment and get more specific:

For most of the AI programs out there, what you write is true.

But there are a rapidly growing number of AI programs that are deliberately designed to be generally intelligent in one or more respects. For some of these AGI systems, some or many of the characteristics that you dismiss such as awareness, fear, etc., are in fact present and functional aspects of the system. Do these systems so far achieve animal-like capabilities or complexity? Not really, that I know of. But with so much being invested and the awareness of the field of AGI and mainstream acknowledgement that it is a feasible goal, I believe we will see some impressive somewhat animal-like AGI demos by the end of 2019.

'Consciousness' sadly is still usually used as a sort of fuzzy stand-in for some type of supposedly supernatural aspect of life, but it can be usefully defined as something like the present functional top-level most deliberate integrated awareness of senses and high-level thoughts. This type of thing is being designed into real systems.

For some examples, search for 'AGI' to learn about the field, or for example more specifically something like 'AGI NARS emotion'.
AMA: NY AG Schneiderman on net neutrality and protecting our voice in government
Hey everyone, New York AG Eric Schneiderman here.

For the last 6 months, my office has been investigating a flood of fake comments that corrupted the FCC’s net neutrality comment process. Approximately 1 million of those comments may have been submitted using real people’s stolen identities--including those of as many as 50K New Yorkers, such as a dead person and a 13 year old child. This is akin to identity theft on a massive scale, and it undermines the public’s right to be heard at the most basic level of our government’s rulemaking.

Yesterday, FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel and I held a press conference to update on my office’s investigation and called on the FCC to delay its net neutrality vote until we can get to the bottom of it. In an era where foreign governments have indisputably tried to use the internet and social media to influence our elections, federal & state governments should be working together to ensure that malevolent actors cannot subvert our administrative agencies’ decision-making processes. You can watch our full press conference here: https://youtu.be/TtZEC21QN-c.

I’ll be back this afternoon to take your questions!

In the meantime, a few things you can do to help in this fight:

1. My office requested help in our investigation from the FCC at least 9 times, but the FCC’s Chairman and his staff responded by stonewalling (yesterday, the FCC’s IG finally indicated they may assist with our investigation). So we’ve gone to the public. My office has set up a website for you to check whether your name was used to submit fake comments, & file a report if it was: https://ag.ny.gov/fakecomments.

2. While FCC Chairman Pai has declared his intention to roll back net neutrality, we can still beat this effort back in Congress. If you haven't already spoken to your representatives, please do it today. You can contact your Senators and Congresspeople through the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Thanks all. Keep speaking out.
