You say that people underestimate debt, but it goes the other way too. My experience as a poor child growing up was that I could see no way to afford university fees, because the numbers looked too big. Loans wouldn't make a difference because I couldn't comprehend the subjective experience of making so much more money later in my career.

Thankfully, college fees were abolished in my country (Ireland) in 1996. It enabled me personally to envision going to college where I couldn't before.
Yes, similar service provider to Twilio.
Coach salaries are rising due to competition among schools for winning (or desirable) coaches as well as increasing profit, particularly among the Power-5 football schools. Football programs at big schools make enough profit to fund other sports with some left over: http://www.businessinsider.com/schools-most-revenue-college-...

A WSJ analysis analyzed football programs as if they were sports franchises to be sold on the open market. Ohio State topped the list at a value of $1.5 billion.

The article talks about possible tax revisions to the top endowed schools, but I doubt they will revoke the ability to deduct exorbitant football seat sales from taxes. Yes, big donors to football programs can buy really expensive season tickets and deduct it from their taxes since its related to non-profit schools. That deduction as well as the huge kickbacks from TV (ESPN) to televise games are driving the money grab.
Or high quality education could be free and payed for by taxes, like in any country that truely values equality
So I guess an explanation has to be very careful with that then. I liked the style. Good way to make clear that this isn't some uptight explanation, but the attempt to experience a little with the explanation style. But it comes with the risk to just confuse people.
I fell in love too. Fist language that I actually was able to feel I understood. Its been about a year since I started.

Your feedback on depth is really helpful. Thanks!

If Rentech has a strategy which generates decent returns only with massive and illegal levels of leverage, it does not have a viable strategy, period. There are reasons why hedge funds have leverage limits, to prevent future LTCM catastrophes. If Rentech wants to operate as a market maker it can get a broker dealer license like any other firm operating as a market maker.
I'm not aware of any keylogging to the cloud "feature". That sounds like some crazy conspiracy theory dreamed up by the people who hate Windows 10 and or Microsoft.

Windows 10 has the same frequently used app feature as Windows 7, which you can didable. You can optionally allow Microsoft to gather data about onscreen keyboard usage to improve suggestions, like Google Gboard on Android. Cortana's searches are obviously cloud based, but can be disabled. And Windows 10 offers suggested apps and features in like 3 different places in the OS, which can also be disabled. Maybe someone dreamed up a fantastic spyware feature based on all of those things.
People apply and pick colleges when they're teenagers, because their school system and parents and our entire culture demands it of them. They're hardly "rational actors" and they won't fix this system alone.
This is helpful. Going to try this today!
I don't think that is a necessity. You can write Go code which doesn't heap-allocate at all - the Go GC is written this way in Go. In any case, you would have very little heap allocations in the kernel space and the GC should be well integrated with the kernel operations.
It is quite simple realy. If I pay x€ for y GB/Month, the ISP should not dictate what over the top services I spend that budget on, nor favor its own services (or those of 'partners') by selective exclusion of that traffic from limits that other are held to, or by hindering traffic from the non-partnered services in any way.

Now for the 'complicated' part. In practice it is not difficult to create a situation where everything is degraded. You just under-provision on a choke point. If you then sell alternative routes, or allow edge caches beyond the choke point, you technically didn't 'hinder' any traffic, you just provided such a lousy service to begin with that any not otherwise enabled service provider doesn't stand a chance of offering a decent experience on your network.

But just pointing to a technical situation where it is hard to write a general 'rule' that in any arbitrary case can unequivocally objectively and automatically say whether a certain criterion was fulfilled, and then saying that because it is hard or even impossible to specify the whole regulation should be scrapped, that is disingenuous.
The spirit of the regulation can be perfectly fine, even though case-by-case judgement may be required to determine compliance.

Those that will say 'but you can vote with your wallet', I can see where you come from, but the reasoning is flawed. In practice telecoms is not an open market, and many households have near 0 meaningful choice. Strong economic network effects are inherent, and lasting competition has only been present under very strict regulation.

> In Portugal the prices are a lot more reasonable

According to [1], the average monthly net salary in Portugal is €846 ($993), or €1,158 ($1358) gross. For comparison, [2] lists median US individual gross income as $32,140 yearly ($2678/mo, not sure what the net works out to).

Accounting for income disparity, the Portuguese prices are not as reasonable as you think.

It looks like this is a policy on the FREE DNS, which IMHO, is fair game. Free services needs to be much more heavily scrutinized for potential abuse.

I spent a lot of time dealing with phishing and fraud prevention. By far the biggest source that I had to deal with was free service abuse and near non-response from those service providers abuse teams.
We don't know what the strategies are so we aren't in a position to evaluate their alpha. Second, the Medallion fund cherrypicks the best strategies, so we don't know what the global return is, just the Medallion return, which is reported for PR purposes. To the extent that the strategies have been revealed, as in this Senate report, the strategies rely on fraud and illegal levels of leverage.
> It means that you can safely omit the compiler writer from the list of people to burn at the stake.

Not if the problem is due to a compiler change which breaks something that has worked for decades and in other compilers too.

Say we have an open source distro full of programs, and a compiler change breaks some program that hasn't been touched in years so that it misbehaves in situations where old builds of that program do not.

This means the compiler writers aren't testing with a full distro, and possibly that they don't care.

> Students are free to go to less expensive schools.

Agree it's rational but it's still ironic. Things like Uncle Sam handing out loans like candy is not helping or states cutting fund to state school is also not great.

The less expensive school tactic from what I hear these days is to go to a community college for 2 years to get as many prerequisites in then switch to a more expensive university to graduate. The rational behavior from the more expensive university is then probably to refuse credits from community colleges so they can increase their profits and fleece students more.
Go enforces a style because all code, written across different teams and organisations, should look the same so anybody can pick up anybody else’s code and read it with ease. There are no differing styles in different libraries. It’s very harmonic.

What I can’t stand in other languages is the Laisser-faire attitude regarding styles. Some people put whitespace here, some there, some put the curly brace here, some there. How about some consistency across all codedbases?

That, plus attention to detail is just part of the Japanese culture. There's a higher density, very little wasted space, and a slightly smaller scale of the built environment there that always strikes me as having a "storybook" feel, for lack of better words. Manga and anime communicate it quite well visually.

[edit] Not directly related but I find it encouraging that the number of houses and carports there with solar panels on the roof is remarkably high and seems to be increasing all the time.

This is not even slightly true. £11Bn a year is spent on Type 2 diabetes, 80% of which is caused by obesity (source: Diabetes UK). A&E every Friday and Saturday night is full of drunks. People take the NHS for granted.

Just fyi to people making almond milk this way is often more expensive than just buying almond milk from the store unless you have a cheap way to buy almonds in bulk.
Separate (and valid) issue from the core issue the parent pointed out.

College football programs are often very big profit centers. They typically pay for the other sports programs as well. That's why football coaches are paid the way they are.

College players should obviously be compensated in some manner as well. All that will do is reduce the profitability (or increase ticket prices a lot higher to offset, which may not be possible); it's unlikely to eliminate the business being quite profitable given the scale & ticket prices.
Thanks for all the relevant and usful comments so far, nice to see it’s not just a bunch of whiny anecdotes.

Fair question, the page doesn't say it.

But it is important to notice that, for networking, they also have Facebook competitors like Twiter, Snapchat and LindedIn. This seems quite the opposite of privilege to providers.

It is quite possible they also have other sites less famous in Portugal (e.g.: HN, Reddit).
I've not had any of my friends full on switch yet. Only one friend doing 3D uses a mac- he works in broadcast and the whole department has the trashcan pros.

Other friends in video / photo are still using mac laptops. I never saw any of them pull the trigger on the mac pros personally...

Look how far the other display manufactures have came, too. I don't know if we have Apple to thank but there are some _really_ nice monitors around now that aren't coming from Apple. Maybe it was just the bubble I was in but in ~2005~2007 I don't remember anyone having anything that could compete with Apple's displays for the price.

I use Cloudflare and life is wonderful. This is a good writeup of a cool strategy and while I understand the fears of my fellow posters - and point out the fear-mongering too - we could just take them at their word and see this as a positive step in the fight against evil.

The Daily Stormer army deserves little sympathy, and using them to invoke a slippery slope argument full of straw men is somewhat sloppy and escalates this discussion to a place where criminal actors are victims and a company trying to do something good is told they're lackeys of a police state.

Geez, cut them some slack.
>The big problem with a lack of Net Neutrality is when there's a lack of competition

You just summed up the exact situation in the US. Most areas have a giant ISP and some smaller ISPs serving more limited areas. There's effectively no choice for consumers though, since many of the smaller ISPs have to use infrastructure of the local ISP monopoly to deliver service.
Yeah, this is a joke for $5,000. You should be able to pay $3,000 and get a proper modern day variant of a Mac Pro, which is where their current Mac Pro price point sits. Why would anyone pay more than $3,000 for this?

A top of the line 27-inch Mac with VESA mount adapter currently costs $2,339.00. That's just shy of a $3,000 price point I would expect a proper Mac Pro, not an iMac Pro, to sit at.

You make a very good point, but these students also generally get scholarships to college, which is not an insignificant form of compensation at all - especially given how much having a college degree matters for future lifetime earnings.

I don't portability is the main point. If you work on a desktop all the time and want a Mac, you get an iMac. Price is high but its a small cost for a developer who will work on it for multiple years.

Ask HN: Becoming an [international] freelance consultant
Hi,

currently, I work part time as a contract programmer, travel the world, have personal projects on the side.

I am able to bring value in management processes, development processes, maintainability, software quality, QA, architecture and implementation.

Keeping my current freedom would be great though.

I am registered at computer futures Germany and France. They mostly have on-site jobs, full-time (that makes me doubt the travelling and remote possibilities.)

1)	How to get hired/ find awesome jobs? What are other job recruitment agencies which I should sign up for
(especially international and remote wise)?
2)	Do I need to stop travelling or is that possible to do fully remote? What is your experience?
3)	Can I bring value by being on-site internationally? I am sceptical because jobs in France require spoken
French, and jobs in Germany require spoken German (computer futures experience).

A few similar questions like "become an freelance consultant" are on hackernews and have some nice resources. I like to differentiate this question by asking for recruitment agencies or other ways of getting hired and I like to understand if being internationally available is a value or not. Nevertheless don't hesitate to link to other Ask HN posts.

My experience:
Java (Spring, Hibernate, …), Angular 2 , Agile Management, Distributed Systems (Master Degree), Microservices, Container (Docker), CI/CD (Jenkins), Software Quality (SonarQube), AWS, GCE, Azure

Thank you so much for helping me kick-starting this.

P.S. All books and other resource recommendations are highly welcome.

People in industry keep commenting in threads like this how they’ve jumped ship to Windows because they have work to get done and need the power now. Other loyal Mac fans can’t belive this and downvote these comments or try to ask for specifics. I’m telling you it’s happening, even in indie shops (source: close friend runs a shop that does big name TV spots and commercials). Adobe Premier isn’t that different on Windows. Most people aren’t Apple fans such as myself. These people need CPU/GPU perf like now because deadlines. So they send someone to Fry’s and get going. Yah a Mac would be nice but they have work to do.
Because the university affiliation turns minor league football / basketball into national television and gets people to spend millions of dollars on tickets and merchandise. No one watches the NBA D-league, but they're happy to watch the Tar Heels play. Similarly, no one watches arena ball, but they're happy to fill the stadium and watch Oregon State lose every week.

It also serves as extremely effective advertising for the university. The fact "Bama Bama Bama, Bama Bama Bama Bama, Bama Bama Bama" is a valid sentence on ESPN week in and week out adds up to weeks of coast-to-coast advertising for Alabama, and enrollment statistics reflect.
Marketing is not:
"Spending money on ads, Spending years building a social following, Going to networking events, Cold calling"

but is:
"posting it on relevant forums, sharing it with bloggers, sending it to journalists to potentially write about"

Isn't that sort of a contradiction, if the thing I want to market is a side project in itself?

I guess I'll try his strategy of talking about one of my side project's outputs instead of the side project itself: Learning Chinese with movies and music.

Isn't this just that colleges are paying the market rate for good executives because they want to get talented and experienced people to run them well? Colleges are very complex and are definitely no easier to run than similarly sized companies.
Endowments should be taxed. How about let some of those billions that major universities are sitting on trickle down to those of use at the bottom? Uni Presidents raking in millions and administration buildings expanding every year. Liberals still some how defend this behavior, its incomprehensible.

> I have never had a framework project where I didn’t end up fighting the very system that was supposed to make development “easy”.

Not always, but often, I find this attitude in developers who either refuse to read documentation, or just entrenched in their ways and too stubborn to try it someone else's way.

Is every project you're starting really so cutting edge that the problems others have solved and come to a consensus on don't apply to you? Perhaps, but maybe you should also be taking a look in the mirror and making an honest assessment on just how difficult you are to work with.

This is true, but orthogonal - the complaint is about how much the bosses make, not how much the workers make.
I don't get it.. PC for studio and mac for field work.. that seems like a very counter intuitive setup. Whatever benefits he get from a mac laptop is no doubt eroded by using these two platforms together.
The parent comment makes a fair point in my opinion. The job you're describing is done by the #2 at a university (provost or executive vice chancellor or whatever title they want to use). The president's job is to court 7 and 8 figure donations and to be a symbolic figurehead. Not all of this money is wasted; often the donations go toward supporting research or paying grad student stipends. Administrative bloat is a huge problem at universities but I actually no longer see the presidential salaries as being very objectionable relative to other forms of waste I've seen, like the money spent on stadiums or unnecessary luxury amenities.

I am stuck at 25, 31 and 34. Does anyone has a cue ?
this is not the main point of his comment.
As I just explained to my 16 year old daughter about YouTube policies. YouTube is a business. Businesses will do whatever they need to do to get customers and make money. If anyone was under some strange illusion that YouTube was a public and free platform to make money and/or create any content they wanted was naive at best.

If you want to create a channel for users to view your content, purchase a domain, buy a VM on some cloud service, and set up your own video streaming service for your own channel.

It would be interesting to see how much it cost one person versus the income generated. I'm pretty sure that anyone with millions of subscribers would be bankrupt instantly.

I think the one reasonable avenue would be to unionize all of the major content creators and invite any creator to be a part of the union. Then threaten a strike. But the content creators are probably like a herd of cats. It's unlikely any coalition is remotely possible.
