A recent encounter with a recruiter
I saw lain a few years ago for the first time and I wasn't underwhelmed at all, I thought it was great.
Yeah, exactly. And it will be certainly much easier to terraform Mars into a habitable environment, populate it and use it as a starting platform to reach new, fresh, habitable planets in deep space, lightyears away – than to agree upon an earthly effort to limit a temperature rise to 1,5 to 2 degrees Celsius by means of some modifications to industrial production and eliminating bad habits.

Maybe earth becomes a better place, when the people who think so, have all left for new unearthly frontiers! The sooner the better. I am all in for the new space program!
Honest question: Why did you take the job? I've heard such horror stories from previous companies of current coworkers as well, but they didn't suffer as much as non-developers. I myself make it a point to ask in job interviews whether I will be able to install and administrate my OS of choice.
I agree you can do it for cheap, but 500 is unlikely to get me the level of RAM I need.

Did they discuss Title IV of JOBS with you?
Considering that they already spend about 700B$ on the defense budget it would probably not happen and they would find something else to spend the money on which isn't nearly as reasonable as combating present issues. Anyhow I'm neither a communist nor a advocate for the poor, it's just that these are the type of problems that could end as all, not just the poor nor the middle class, thus people should voice their opinion more about it. But it seems to me that from the moment the election has been decided/won no one get's a say in the matter aside from the people that got elected, now don't get me wrong as winners they should have every right to make the final decisions, but sometimes asking the general public on what issues the government needs to tackle next is more reasonable then the old "I don't care about your opinion, you lost the elections, now wait 4 years and try again!".

Eh, there's a certain argument to be made and considered.

Manhattan only started mandating buried lines back in the telegraph era, because every time it snowed a bunch of lines went down and electrocuted people. Eventually you've got to say enough is enough and cut that shit out.

I assume if Tokyo had the problem to the same degree as Manhattan it would already be fixed. If it doesn't, then you're evaluating a more complicated set of trade-offs.

I think people generally associate the success of the program to the quality of the institution overall, and the ability to participate in the community of the institution is a non-0 benefit. If you are comparing two institutions with similar academic quality - the quality of sports programs, on-campus recreation, student clubs, etc. are differentiating factors. Even Ivy League schools have sports programs - there is a benefit to it.

Frankly, however, I think the ire towards sports programs is generally misplaced. I'm much more concerned with the withdrawal of funding of public institutions from state governments and the overabundance of administrative staff, regulators, and various student groups than sports.

Another thing I find worth mentioning is that some of the same people complaining about paying "$40/month for a gym" are the same people who would not be in favor of a pick-and-choose tax scheme at the national or state government levels. Why can't I pick and choose to not support sports, recreation, women's programs, LGBT programs, university student activity funds for college republicans, etc.? Same reason I can't pick and choose to pay for welfare, road maintenance, or parks and recreation. Please keep in mind I am not against women's programs or LGBT programs or anything I mentioned, actually, but I want to point out that mental disconnect that people make. This is especially bad for state institutions.
I respect wsj paywall so did not read article.

I was reading that the fees to short it are really high.
But the available research suggests that if state lawmakers increased appropriations for public colleges and universities, it would be unlikely to have an effect as large as advocates assume. More state funding appears to buy pennies on the dollar in lower tuition. That makes increasing appropriations for public colleges and universities an ineffective—even wasteful—policy for keeping tuition low. It also implies that grant aid might deliver more bang for the buck than larger state appropriations.

What might explain why appropriations have such weak effect on tuition? Again, the studies discussed above do not offer much explanation, but two theories come to mind: perhaps universities look to exploit their pricing power in the market leading them to raise tuition whether appropriations rise or fall; or maybe when faced with a reduction in state funding, universities cut spending instead of raising tuition dollar for dollar. Those are excellent theories for future research to test.

To be sure, the research on the effects of state disinvestment is severely limited, and further work may yet find a stronger effect on tuition. But limitations are not a reason to continue assuming the effects are as large as many have claimed. Just the opposite.

The fact that the research is limited, and that it shows state disinvestment is not a major cause of rising tuition, are reasons to doubt the state disinvestment argument and the policy agenda attached to it. Researchers should see this as a call to action. They should be putting at least as much effort into measuring the effects of state appropriations on tuition as they do the Bennett Hypothesis—and employing the same rigorous analytical methods. They can also help determine what factors really are the primary drivers of tuition increases at public colleges if appropriations matter so little. Journalists should also change their approach in light of the evidence on state disinvestment. They should hold claims about the effects of state disinvestment on tuition to the same standards of evidence as they do claims about the Bennett Hypothesis.

Meanwhile, it is time to start calling the claim that state funding cuts are the primary driver of rising tuition what it really is: the state disinvestment hypothesis.

The thing I really, really don't get about modern media companies (IE. YouTube, Facebook, etc.) and their approach to advertising is their almost universally puritanical policies. I mean I get it to a point, they're trying to mitigate the risks of someone getting offended and suing them or something, but at the same time its such a lazy and one size fits all approach.

They have all this data about people, yet they're too lazy, or too genuinely puritanical, to actually use that data to show the right ads to the right people. Take for instance the category of drug "paraphernalia," (not to mention actual drugs). Neither Facebook, YouTube or Google will allow advertisers to advertise for these kinds of products, even in markets where they are completely legal. You'd think a more reasonable, and profitable approach, would be to use all that data to only allow advertisers to target these kinds of ads to people of legal age, in markets where these products are legal, but no, no-one can advertise them to anyone, anywhere, ever.

And what about sex toys? Why can't videos of say sex toy reviews, be age-gated, and then so called "Adult ads," you know, only be shown to the verified adults watching those videos? I'm sure there are lots of sex toy companies who would love to advertise to that audience, and I'm sure someone watching a sex toy review video would much rather see an ad for a sex toy than for another fucking Nissan, but yet again, Google et all would rather impose their bizarrely puritanical morality on the world, than do their jobs and build a system that actually works.
Completely disagree about there not being any political leanings.

See the Controversial section here: https://i.imgur.com/vkBrkns.jpg

e.g. religious videos of any sort are automatically deemed controversial (way more inclined to be right leaning), but videos about racial justice (left) are exempt (unless, of course, they are anti-racial justice videos, in which case they must be removed.)

For me, this is a huge thing.

When I bought my first Mac, back in the days of MacOS 10.2, I did so because of the BSD system underneath. Having a Unix system, whether its GNU or BSD, gives me access to tools that I'm familiar with and sometimes prefer to their GUI counterparts (e.g., scp/sftp vs FileZilla).

Now that Windows has this, switching back is something that I'm giving serious consideration to.

I don't see why the slipery slope argument is to be rejected. If you walk on the edge of a cliff, it's a good thing to realize falling is part of the risk.
To me this issue is basically the same as most other pay discrepancy issues in other fields. It all boils down to directly attributable results. If a college endowment increases by 800 million under a presidents stewardship he can point to that as directly attributable to him. It doesn't mean others didn't assist but it's a very public win for him. It's hard to argue that he doesn't deserve 1% of that. With professors it's hard for them to argue that they are the reason why the college has X number of dollars with any clarity. Unless some alum donates a lot of money and says specifically this is because of this or that teacher it's impossible for them to quantify their worth to the school. Thus admin staff who can do that see their salaries increase commiserate with what they can argue they bring to the school, while the professors who should be more important are left behind. Schools are a business today and that's reflected in their priorities of money > education.

Actually, it's pretty simple - each time you login, check that the password (now cleartext, as supplied by user) is valid AND meets the current requirement. If it's valid and doesn't, push in to a change password flow with the current requirements. If you're extra careful, you can expire older passwords and require an email reset before use.

https://www.wired.com/2014/02/happens-body-mars/ read up something on this topic. It's nice to imagine that we will soon be able to colonize Mars, but we are far from doing so and making the planet habitable for humans would take much more effort than to fix the one we already have, if the presents issues can be fixed we could lower defense spending and spending in other areas and then we could focus all that money into space exploration, but as things currently stand by multi-tasking we aren't exactly moving forward a whole lot.

> Besides, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark either don't impose unbundling of cable/fiber, or set very high prices for wholesale access: http://www.oecd.org/sti/broadband/2-7.pdf.

I'll go with Sweden as it's the one I know closest. It doesn't... anymore, but it did for maybe 10 years from late 90s, and if Telia (the previously state owned and now privatized incumbent) which has a lot of the FTTH market would start being anti-competitive you can bet regulation will return.

> 60% of Danish subscribers are with TDC, the privitized former incumbent. TDC must offer DSL access over LLU, but the two companies that do that are Telenor (the Norwegian incumbent) and Telia (the Swedish incumbent). Those three account for 80% of all subscribers. Is this better than our system?

Yes? As long as all three has access to all customers (in the US the big ISPs have local monopolies so it's deceiving to look at them as many providers), there's at least some market forces available. But I also think DSL is kind of backwards to look at to begin with.

I think it's important to keep in mind that at these high pay levels, the president is more of a figurehead whose primary role is to fundraise. In light of this, their job does seem similar in that both the president and the coach are there to help the college raise money.

The responsibility you mention is delegated down to the next level.

President Obama said he scrapped the plan to go back to the moon because he saw it as just recapitulating 60s technology development. He said he wanted "game-changing" new technologies instead. That made sense to me at the time, but maybe you need to fund rebuilding a project from the 60s, and then the game changing ideas will appear along the way.

I am unclear if President Trump's order calls for bringing back the program Obama cancelled or if it's more of a general statement of direction.
