Well, kind of, except that's not really right. A Gallery usually represents an artist in a specific area. For example, in the US it might be that a gallery represents an artist in San Francisco, while another gallery does so in Los Angeles, another in New York, etc. Generally anywhere with a big enough market is going to have separate representation. That means that a mid career, or later, artist could have many galleries representing them. Generally they will be doing way more than one show per 18 months, generally around 3 to 4 per year in major areas, maybe even more if they have international representation.

Also, $5K to $10K per work is somewhat misleading. I depends a lot on the work, painting tends to be more expensive than photography for example and unique photographic works are generally more expensive than editioned work. A mid career photographic artist doing unique work can expect to start at $10K per work but it certainly goes up from there. A recognized artist with international representation is generally commanding much higher prices.

None of this takes into consideration other work, such as commissions, installations, advertising, books, etc. which can be very lucrative avenues of revenue.

Artists who have good representation in major areas are generally doing much better than $50K per year.

First story, at least in my feed. It has made most of the news sites, since the story keeps getting flagged off the front page, expect more submissions of the same topic because people aren't aware of existing discussions.

Marking a submission as a dupe of a previous post that was flagged away is just wrong.

It’s not an advantage, in practice. Writing exploits against iOS is a very scarce skill, and the people who can do this might be slightly more productive if aided by the source, but the reverse isn’t true. Having the source doesn’t teach you anything about finding and exploiting these bugs.

It might seem logical to those unfamiliar with how these hacks work, but consider that such hacks do not depend on the secrecy of the design. Also consider that Apple hires regular software and hardware engineers, who do their best to design a system, and Apple then hires hackers (both internally, as well as external consultants) to find weaknesses in their designs. These weaknesses are then fixed before the product ships, meaning even those who were paid to break it no longer know how. This alone should tell you that people who know the system intimately are not the ones who understand how to break it.

Put another way, if I need to make this product, and there are two candidates I can hire, one person who wrote the software and one who knows nothing about the software but is demonstrably skilled at finding exploits in similar systems, I’ll take the latter in a heartbeat.

Apple's battery was defective. They replaced it. It no longer shuts down.

Well, that certainly is your opinion. But it doesn't change the fact that the battery was defective.

Is everyone supposed to personally fully read every individual scientific study? That doesn't scale.

The only way it works is to have experts you trust to give you the truth, which is what the scientists are supposed to be, but the funding source undermines the trust.

“Germany” hasn’t been a country very long, only since 1871, but an identifiable German culture has existed since Roman times. German (or precursors) was spoken in Alsace for well over a millennium before declining and dying out in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Another introductory course, CS 35L (required for CS majors) do somewhat touch on python: http://web.cs.ucla.edu/classes/winter18/cs35L/syllabus.html
In large schools, lower-level intro classes can be huge (many classes with many students in each class), so there's usually an extremely standardized (and mechanized) curriculum that ensures everyone learns basically the same thing and labs and recitation sections are interchangeble.

So when they switch languages, they mean moving all this curriculum to another language at once. The higher level courses don't change.

I didn't even realize web USB was a thing now. I remember it being talked about, but I must have missed the HN conversation when Chrome implemented it.

It's so remarkable I'd almost think it's some kind of long performance art piece. There's a very surreal moment when you've read a bunch of Taleb's writing on the importance of honor and craft and the problems with detached, thin-skinned pseudo-intellectuals who get involved in fields they don't understand and constantly bullshit to prop up their egos... and then check out his twitter. It's the best lesson of all: no one wants to do the hard part, not even the ones telling you to do the hard part. Even writing a book about how important it is to have skin in the game doesn't cover up not having skin in the game.

Pretend you are a CIO with an average job tenure of 18-24 months.

The study's not published and expecting the two page preview of the working paper to have a 'discussion of potential problems with methodology' section is utterly unrealistic.

They're clearly trying to gauge incremental costs, not fixed costs, and each of insurance/maintenance/repairs/fuel/depreciation are incremental. The breakdown between the personal and ride-hail vehicle use is part of the study and appears in the sentence previous to the quoted one as "the vast majority of drivers report that the bulk of the miles they drive are for ride-hailing".

I think one has to be lucky to have talent, and the education and upbringing required to learn how to exploit that talent, in addition to having opportunities to take advantage of it. Not even getting into socio-economic challenges due to race and class.
Maybe it's a redundancy then :P
Yes, this. I was involved in an accident a few months back and adjuster for both companies asked if I ever used this car to drive for a ride sharing service. I don't recall it being limited to the duration of the policy though.
TL;DR: Correlation does not imply causation.
The naivete ultimately comes from the failure to define "talent." The talent that yields advancement (in nearly any large scale society, not just capitalism) is often deception and primate dominance gestures. An aristocracy of talents becomes an aristocracy of narcissists and sociopaths.

Rand's heroes all look like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. People like that are notable because they are rare. Most of the ultra-wealthy more closely resemble Rand's villains.

Real creators are too busy creating to play the kind of dominance games that most often lead to political and business success. You can succeed by creating, but doing so is many orders of magnitude harder than succeeding through manipulation and so you get a smaller pool of people who can pull it off.
That’s fair, but readers should not assume that others are operating on these rules. I’m reminded of a conversation I had with a woman who bought a copy of The Game, at the recommendation of another woman, to “find out how guys think”, and it was difficult to explain why this was misinformed and would make her worse off.
> Shouldn't these things be covered in high school?

A number of factors.

High Schools are very subject to political whims of the local area. Teachers are often not tenured (especially in smaller districts), and school board members are frequently elected officials.

There are schools that still teach that America is literally blessed by God to rule over the earth.

Those schools aren't going to teach about the Kent State Riots, or Pinkertons. They sure as heck aren't going to have a class on dissecting political speeches (from all across the spectrum) for logical soundness. (One of the best college classes I ever took!)

These are the same schools that avoid teaching literally anything about sex (other than don't have it), and skimp out on other large portions of biology.

> Perhaps having a 13th or 14th year of primary education would allow for these concepts to be covered in sufficient depth.

The problem with mandatory education is that since everyone has to go through it, there is an expectation that everyone passes, which means courses get watered down until everyone does pass. Tests are put in place to prevent this, and then school becomes prep work for those tests, as metrics take over the entire system.

Community Colleges are, IMHO, a good stepping stone.
The way court transcripts read it often doesn't come across as very natural.

I did. "looking for exploits in the game with some Matrix-like computer-vision." is a fairly meaningless phrase.
Sure thing. He says as such during his interview with Joe Rogan. If your claim is that he intends to present the idea that women are inferior in this field, that interview contradicts it.
Well, that's not quite what he's saying. Remember, nobody is even claiming that underrepresented groups are actually applying and getting turned away - the statistics just suggest that they never even show up in the first place. Yet the suggested fixes are always like the ones in the linked article: turn away the people who _do_ show up until some underrepresented people come in to take their place.
Lung cancer has not changed overall numbers all that much from 1990. https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/lungb.html So, no it's not responsible for the massive drop in cancer deaths by age group.

I included HPV and Stomach cancer in a PS specifically because they are minor changes to overall numbers. Sunscreen also impacts the rates people get cancer, but it's a very minor effect.

What's with the false dichotomy? I personally agree with you that knowing lower level things is incredibly helpful to every single good developer, even those who don't touch anything lower than Javascript on daily basis. However, I totally disagree that those computing concepts should be taught in an intro class, when the student not only has to struggle with learning basic computing concepts, but also with memory management and low level quirks that even competent established developers struggle with sometimes.

Tl;dr: agreed that low level computing fundamentals are helpful to every developer, disagreed that intro classes are the right place for them.

A million factors determine your trajectory long before you either do or do not prepare for this or that opportunity.
If you sit on the couch all day doing nothing, you wont get lucky. Sure, we can identify "luck" as a path to success, but honestly that seems more like survivor bias....

There are a nearly infinite number of events that had to take place for everything to exist in its current state. We can call it "luck" or "randomness" which then leads to specific actions leading to success. However, in reality we are designed to recognize patterns.

If we recognize a pattern and make an attempt to improve our situation, it's not "luck" or "randomness" its a probability of success. Combine that over a life time and persistence will lead to success, not just one random event. It's a series of events that lead to success, each one moving you one way or the other. It's typically your "choice" which path you take.

I think these articles rub me the wrong way, because it leads a lot of people to think - "If it's all luck, why bother doing anything?" When in reality it's only you that can get anywhere.
I came back to this thread to say that this issue is very peculiar because if Youtube/Google can be this picky about candidates (junior/low experience candidates in particular) maybe this STEM/Tech shortage is not so real as they often try to make it look.

Maybe all this effort agains an hypotetical STEM/Tech "shortage" is just to drive down tech employees salaries in the long term.
One could only be so lucky to have the time and resources to be looking for opportunity.

Higher education - okay, but quality education can't be overestimated.

I live in Poland and education actually seems to be getting worse over time, while catholic church is consistently gaining ground. In primary + secondary schools, there's more religion than physics, biology or chemistry. Mathematics is the only science lesson still more common than religion. Technically there should be "ethics" lessons as an alternative, but very few schools actually employ such teachers, citing various excuses.

Recently, there's a push by education minister to let priests become educators (form masters), taking orders from bishop rather than principal. Final exams from catholic religion are not far away.

If you put tax money into religion rather than scientific grants, and you complain your country has very low innovation rating, really, what do you expect? Maybe you could export a new religion?
There's an assumption in the title (obviously) that appeals to a popular argument on HN, but the article itself is not conclusive:

university graduates still make around 70% more than non-graduates suggests that demand for skilled workers still far exceeds supply. / Yet governments may actually be overestimating the economic benefits of higher education.

The article says the economic returns could be overestimated do to the social benefits of college. I certainly agree about the social benefits, and I think we need college open to all:

First, it's really about wealth and class; these economic arguments are a BS distraction to a significant degree (though not entirely). I know of schools in rich districts where 95% go to college, and in poor districts only miles away where it's maybe 5%. What does that have to do with economic and social benefits? Why should those social and economic benefits go to kids in rich districts? The expansion of college means expanding it to the poor district; I don't hear wealthy parents saying that their own kids shouldn't go, or that their district should send fewer to college; the argument against college is really an argument to not expand the same opportunities to the working class and poor. For social/political reasons (racism, maintaining political power) and self-interest (not paying taxes), there are even some who don't want the poor kids to get the opportunity; it's an nascent aristocracy protecting itself, which is incompatible with democracy (which is why people like Thiel are against democracy and education) - though certainly that doesn't apply to all critics and criticisms, we also shouldn't pretend it's not an issue.

Second, in the land(s) of opportunity, why are we suddenly rationing it through central planning? Let people advance themselves and go to college if they want to; give them the chance to advance themselves by making college available to them, the best one they can get into. Who are you or I to tell them they shouldn't go because we don't think it's economically worthwhile?
We're on a small rock flying through an infinite universe. Our lives exist in a small blink of time. Computers run billions of operations per second using software with countless defects at every level of the stack.

We're lucky anything works at all. In that context, we succeeded just by being born and living as long as we have, and we'd be pretty narrow-minded to assume that the material success we enjoy is significantly more than a series of happy accidents.
It's not clear to me why this study would set those thresholds for the underlying data (4+ Victims & 2+ deaths), this seems to downplay the number of incidents. At the very least there should be some explanation of why this limit is in place, as it has a significant impact on the findings.

Closest thing I can find to an accurate data-set is here: https://www.kaggle.com/ecodan/us-school-shootings-dataset/no.... Data seems to be a blend of a northwestern study and the wikipedia list of shootings.
Computer courses are no different than any other course. What's the first semester requirement for math? You can graduate high school without taking advanced mathematics, it doesn't mean you're prepared for college-level math in the CS field.

Similarly, most high schools offer introductory programming courses. I would expect almost every CS major to have taken these classes prior to being admitted to the major.

If you didn't take those courses in high school, there are avenues to acquire that knowledge before taking the CS required courses.

There is a permission prompt, but it's fairly easy to convince users to accept it during a login attempt when they're expecting their USB U2F device to be used.
Did you read your own quote? These aren't developers, they're "non-computer science students" who don't need to know underlying memory details, but they're being required to because this class is a prerequisite for a bunch of computing-related classes in other majors.
So you think it is possible to condition people to look at another person and have them never consciously or unconsciously understand them to be white, black, asian, or any other race?
It's an _introductory_ course for a reason. Not all of these students are going to be developers. Those that do, will take advanced classes, rather than trying to interview on the basis of an introductory course.
I would think the idea is that Uber/Lyft, in the long run, disinsentivizes individual car ownership (why own a car when I can take an uber?) except for those doing the driving for Uber/Lyft. So the overall dynamic might shifts from lots of people owning cars (but relatively low utilization rate) to a few people owning cars (with very high utilization rates).
Interesting. I had heard specifically that word vectors weren't a game-changer for document classification, because the averaging method didn't work well. But the difference between word2vec and FastText must be important. I think your baseline of Naive Bayes + TF-IDF would do a lot better if it was SVM and TF-IDF, but I didn't expect the big jump between word2vec and FastText.
