The FBI was granted a search warrant by a judge based on evidence they presented. At the very least this is a process that involves multiple branches of the government.

The decision to deny bail was based on logic that they provided in open court. I'll let you look at their logic and decide for yourself whether it makes sense.

This is at least a reasonable system even if it needs some adjustments to get closer to justice.

I have three children who have completed 2-1/2 bachelors degrees in the last 6 years. Within the next three years I expect that to be 3 bachelors and one masters.

All of this will have been achieved with zero debt and no financial assistance from parents.

Each child is expected to put in 1200+ hours of employment per year of school. This grosses them $12K+ of salary even as freshmen. They choose schools that cost < $6000/year to attend. They pick up some scholarship money to help when they can. They live in cheap apartments with lots of roommates, and they cook their own food.

University of Chicago tuition costs >$50K/year. [0]
UofI-Chicago runs ~$17K. [1]
Prairie State College in Chicago costs < $5K/year[2]

Here's your first college test: Which one offers a better value?

If you can't afford food, rent, and tuition for $15K/year, you're not looking hard enough. If you think you should spend $75K/year right out of high school... college may not be a good idea for you.

This is not so different from my experience decades ago. I used to opt out of traveling home for Thanksgiving because I could work double shifts during the holiday. Every hour over 1200 helped to pad things.

I recently recommended to a high school student that they enter an essay contest worth $1000. I thought they could win. They thought it was too much effort. They might burn up 4 hours! A loan application only takes 30 minutes.

I'm a product design engineer! So rare that I get to have any input on HN. In answer to your questions:

1. How does the factory quote / understand what is required? Typically you send a 3D CAD file of the product you want to make and a bill of materials to a selected factory and they send you a quotation. For some products the factory may be able to quote based on a prototype, but this is less typical for totally custom / new products.

2. How do I choose a provider? I recommend any of the following:

a. Leverage any personal connections you may have

b. Search for similar products / the product category on Alibaba

c. Either go to trade shows (the biggest for Chinese factories is Canton fair) or review the vendors exhibiting at a trade show online

d. Panjiva.com (the best option if it works) Panjiva aggregates public import records for anyone importing products into the US. Both the importer (think US brand) and exporter (think Chinese factory) are listed for every shipment. Use Panjiva to search for a company that is selling a similar product you want to make in your market (for example, if you want to sell headphones in the US, you might search "Bose" on Panjiva). If a factory has made a bunch of similar shipments to reputable brands in the US they are likely a good factory.

Getting a good factory to take you seriously is actually quite challenging for a fledgling company. Quoting a product takes a good deal of time to do properly and is expensive for them. They get a surprising number of tire kickers. To increase chances of success, highlight anything that makes you more credible when quoting (investment, awards, personal track record, nice looking website, photos of prototypes, etc.)
Before I fixed it, it wouldn't restore the previous non-DHCP-set DNS servers when you took the interface down. Now this bug is fixed.
I came at it from the opposite direction. I prefer Google Play Music to Spotify. Google Play Music comes with a subscription to YouTube Red. Occasionally I will watch a video on YouTube. I appreciate the added value of not needing to watch ads on the occasions that I use YouTube, and knowing that I’m still supporting the content creators even though I don’t consume the ads.
I like this idea; make it: "take last 10% stake in any loan", so they get their money back only after everything else is paid off.

We need to know more about how the seller acquired the goods. Often such ebay sales are by people who had legitimate possession, just not any right to sell them. This is why experimental and demo electronics aren't normally investigated as stolen goods. Nobody should be selling them, nobody had the right to sell them, but a great many merchants do legitimately possess them.

Yeah, I think we’re in violent agreement. (I worked at one of the impacted organizations during Project Aurora.)

Having a VPN is a pretty great control for the vast majority of organizations that don’t have the operational maturity to pull the public IP apart of BeyondCorp off. FWIW: we are helping customers with differential access controls (and I love Chromebooks despite the license purchasing experience). But even if you go full public-IP BeyondCorp you’re going to have some machines you’re not exposing (though it should be fine to expose them, as you mention), and occasionally you need to reach them, and VPNs remain great for that. VPNs being unnecessary (and giving a false sense of security) for human-facing endpoints in a company with a multi billion dollar security org? Sure, it’s hard to disagree: to your point Google is working on the proof by construction :-D
Yeah, I feel like I never knew what I want. I realize I want something, set myself to get it, but in the process I realize that's not quite what I wanted to begin with, so I have to start again. And again, and again. It's been like this for as long as I can remember. And I have suffered all along the way.

How does one figure out what they want anyway? Do you have to quit life for a while, embark on a spiritual journey into your own mind? Take psychedelic drugs? Spend a month without saying a word?

I know I sound condescending, but really, this is how I feel. I wish I felt different, and I've been working on that. Last year has been a blast, I've learned a lot, I feel like I have made real progress. But I still feel lost.

The userbase grew a lot since 2012. You'd expect that to lead to proportionally more submissions (as it did more comments), but the number of submissions has stayed about the same. Bit of a puzzle, no?

My theory is that it's because there's a limited supply of good-for-HN articles out there. But really we don't know. Also, those numbers are raw total submissions, with no attempt to control for dupes.
The downsides of A/B testing
Interesting. I also do not have a degree, and I'm pursing my associates part time while working full-time as a Junior Dev. However every job interview I've had people bring up my education, and it seems to always be the deal breaker for them. Despite the fact that I know in my personal work, I'm more capable than most of the people with their Bachelors in CS.

I feel like a lot of companies hiring software devs just filter out most of the resumes that don't mention having a Bachelors degree, simply because they can.

In Virtual Reality, How Much Body Do You Need?
It occurs to me that, in the early 21st century, astronomy has once again become the hot area in physics, whereas particle physics was for the last part of the 20th century. Not that it's necessarily a contest, but I read of a lot more exciting new discoveries from the physics of the very large, in recent years, than from the physics of the very small.
Checking in from an old auto town. Our region is exactly the opposite of yours. We are saturated with jobless gear-heads but there's HUGE demand in healthcare.

Shop techs around here make ~$10-15/hr, aren't guaranteed 40, no benefits, never get overtime, and there's no upward mobility unless you start your own shop (which for almost everyone requires taking out a big loan, and most attempts flop). Finding work is easy, but you can do MUCH better in the service industry or in healthcare. Hell, I have a relative who breeds dogs because it pays better than the auto work he can find after his last attempt at opening his own shop failed.

But the hospitals are starving! With a Bio grad degree, the hospitals would pay you to get into nursing. From there, with the degree, it's easy to get into a PA program. And there's insatiable demand for PAs.

> You wouldnt believe how many trades pay close to six figures that are incredibly understaffed

My general observation, at least in our region, is that six figures are a high water mark, not an average. Six figures for the last ten years is A LOT different from six figures for all thirty years. And even the last 10 years is wishful thinking. But again, the recently closed factory might've put a huge downward pressure on salaries throughout the trades in our region.

I think that "trades are the answer" is just as stupid as "college is the answer". Inserting "community" into "just go to college" doesn't change the fundamental problem with the advice, which is that it's suggesting a global heuristic for a problem that has varying solutions from region to region and especially from person to person.

It's not about "trades vs. white collar". It's all about knowing the (regional) labor market.
Our mobile team was working on creating an app a while ago. We are all C# coders so the obvious solution seemed Xamarin because you can use C# plus you get multi platform. First they dumped Forms and went with a native UI. Then there were a ton of bugs (don't know the details) in Xamarin that caused them to switch to Java on Android. The iOS version will probably be written in Swift. Noone is talking about Xamarin anymore.

People bought several generations of new routers since work on IPv6 began in the early 1990's. If that work had been sanely scoped, we'd all be using IPv6 by now.

People bought new routers, for example, because of faster ethernet and fibre. Faster switching, more ports. Bigger routing tables. At the last hop, also due to Wi-Fi and rounds of newer Wi-Fi.

A smart upgrade to IP could have been hammered out by a team of half a dozen skilled engineers well before Y2K rolled in.
Because we have to support IE 11.
> would college be "worth it" if it were free?

I suspect the answer is "no" more frequently than you may expect.

The opportunity cost is four years of your life, four fewer years of full-time work experience, and the income that comes with that work experience.

When I was in high school all these recruiters came from various colleges to try and get us to sign up for their schools. I saw what almost none of my peers saw: They were salesmen trying to generate revenue for their business. They did not have my best interests in mind. They presented these lovely little marketing sheets describing how much money you'd make with a degree in X, Y, or Z. I realized then that I didn't know how much money was a lot or a little, but I had an idea the numbers would be rosy. So I started asking people I knew how much money they needed to live and how much they considered a lot. I began cold-calling people in various roles I was considering and asking if the numbers the college recruiters gave us were realistic for an entry-level worker with a degree and no experience. Big shock -- they weren't. In the end, I figured four more years of work experience would put me well ahead of my peers who went to college and it has. That was nearly two decades ago and I'm very well ahead of my peers now. There are some folks who just don't have the discipline to learn things on their own -- for them, maybe college is a good choice. There are others who need a degree by law to practice their chosen field of work. That makes sense for them too. But for the rest of us -- college may be considered harmful.

There's nothing wrong with it, besides the pathological need to write their desktop client in web technologies. I can't use Google Music because I registered and uploaded music for a Google account that isn't my primary Google account. But the client always opens to the wrong account since it shares state with my browser. But there isn't the normal user switcher that you find on other Google products. All the other competitors desktop apps are so far superior that I still pay for Spotify despite having bought 2 Google Home devices.
I've got some simple advice: Get rid of RMS. Get rid of him now.

The longer he's the figurehead of GNU, the longer he has any say in your projects, the longer he'll poison the well. This "joke" fiasco touched off a firestorm of commentary from people that are quite clear that he's been highly problematic for decades now.

You don't want someone toxic running GNU. Microsoft managed to shed their sweaty gorilla and look what's happened to them. They're not fully redeemed, but they stopped fighting and destroying.

Just as the early FSF cared not for tradition, for history, for the investment of time and energy on the part of others, they should not care today if they want to be a radical force for change. Keep that spirit. Tear down anything worth destroying because it gets in the way of what's right.

The important question, the only question, for an organization that promotes actual change is what can he do to improve things tomorrow.

Sadly we've lost Aaron Swartz, but that's the caliber of person you need today. Fearless, energetic, passionate, and fighting the right fights from the front lines. Aaron will be missed, but the FSF and GNU should be looking for, encouraging, motivating the next Aarons no matter what their background is.
Built-in Sharding for PostgreSQL
The seller doesn't have to give up their rights:

"Suppose Ed takes his bicycle to Merv, a bicycle dealer, for repairs, but instead of making repairs Merv sells the bicycle to Betty. Who now owns the bicycle? Section 2-403(2) states that "[a]ny entrusting of possession of goods to a merchant who deals in goods of that kind gives him power to transfer all rights of the entruster to a buyer in ordinary course of business." Ed has entrusted possession of goods to Merv, a merchant dealing in goods of that kind. Assuming Betty is a buyer in the ordinary course of business (BIOC), Merv now has the power to transfer all of Ed's rights in the bicycle to Betty. Betty now owns the bicycle, and Ed cannot validly assert any ownership claim against her. Ed's only remedies would be against Merv."

Exhaustive analysis of ICO white papers shows about 1/4 contain major red flags. The bar the WSJ set is pretty low (as in easy to pass without raising flags). Any white paper that didn't plagiarize long passages, re-use others' headshots or fail to name principals, or fail mention risk basically passes.

It's also worth noting that the multi-billion dollar figure cited for total funds raised through ICOs is about as reliable as the ICOs themselves, since it's based on self-reported figures from ICOs that frequently appear out of thin air with multi-million claims of funds raised so far.
Most people don't use very many sites. We do, yes, but the most will revisit the same sites over and over. And they'll be entering their personal/card details into fewer. Why not have a browser popup each time you enter this info into a site for the first time? And a warning if the site is not on a browser supported whitelist? Don't "phone home" with people's sites; browsers could maintain white/black lists. Making users see if they think the site they're on is dodgy is like expecting people to only download code in source form and check it before compiling it. If my mum uses the same 4 shopping sites and one bank it shouldn't let her log into another one - fake or not - without at the very least a "wtf are you doing" warning.
