"There's a serious problem in the industry being driven by coding bootcamps; it's really sad to see universities being forced to stoop to compete."

Is that really the case, universities are trying to compete with bootcamps? I don't see much in the way of signs of that.

Thanks William. I look forward to hearing from them. We only have 10 days left on our trial.
Maybe the counterpoint should be that gluing things together should produce better optimised products. You could probably even charge for tools like that. Why should the programmer have to know the best data structures and algorithms if the computer can do it for them? We don't hand-optimise assembly any more either, except in very narrow cases.
That's a rather weak criticism of a complex system of medicine. In many cases it's impossible to get a clear diagnosis of the underlying condition, and so treating the symptoms is the only practical option. Given that we have limited resources and imperfect knowledge, what's the alternative?
The issues with batteries can be mostly, though not entirely, averted with e-readers, which use html (epub is just a zip with some xml metadata).

Now books, easily copied?

When's the last time you tried to share a copy of a book with a friend? Or did you buy a blank and copy it by hand? While that's a laudable example of dedication it's not exactly easy nor convenient.

Cheapness is likewise debatable, printing out a 300-pages book is fairly expensive.

Most other concerns are concerns only if you use broken-by-design sources.
> the left is ideologically opposed to market-based solutions and instead supports big government/power-grab solutions--specifically cap and trade.

Carbon taxes have a substantial base of support on the left (possibly more than cap and trade, whose base of support is more centrist.)

Now, carbon-tax supporters are likely to support cap-and-trade as better than nothing, but that's different than preferring it and opposing carbon taxes.

Looking at this, I can now see why a test function nested in another function (see [0] and [1]) doesn’t work. I’ve tried dabbling with the Rust compiler to see if I could help fix this, but it takes 30 minutes to compile rustc and I couldn’t figure out how to reduce those compile times (each time I changed 1 line and wanted to test, I had to wait 30 minutes to build). How do people work on rustc (or internal Rust libraries, like libsyntax) without waiting for 30 minute builds after every minor change?

I really like sleep and I have been on Ambien and Seroquel(off label) for sleep. At first it helped but if you really really like sleep I say the withdrawal is not worth the benefit of the extra sleep. Coming off them I didn't sleep for several days and my sleep schedule became really screwed up. I am still on something for sleep for this reason. Some studies show you go insane after 3-4 days of no sleep. I can confirm it definitely feels like that. If you plan to take it for life I guess but withdrawals can be miserable.
No need to wonder, as this sort of thing has been studied[0]. You can check your local air quality online[1].

> Linux was built by people for user freedom

> not welcomed by the creators of the operating system

No, it wasn't. Linux was created because Linus Torvalds was in love with the OS running on the VAX at his university and wanted something just like it that he can run on his desktop at home.

> you are doing something that is not welcomed by the creators of the operating system

The DFSG and the OSD both prohibit discriminating against fields of endeavor, so the ability to run proprietary software on open-source operating systems is essential to the OS actually being open-source.

Vapes aren't cheap. Somebody gave this kid $100 to buy his device and someone regularly gives him $10+ to refill it. And somebody is failing to check his age when he makes the purchase.

The only problem the school has is that they don't have a vape awareness program. That's all you can expect them to do with the money + labour they have. The police should get involved and charge the companies who sold the devices and juice.

We don't have that law in Hawaii, unfortunately. I used to love to eat at a local Quiznos which had outdoor seating, but was located next to a supermarket. People would park there cars five feet from where I was eating and let them idle for 20-30 minutes while they sort out their grocery list, or while one person runs inside to shop and the other waits. Made me crazy--the noise, the stink. I stopped eating their, and apparently everyone else did too, as they went out of business.

This absolutely pisses me off too, especially when it's right outside my home because it's also noise pollution. I don't understand these people... do they go home and just leave taps running while fiddling with their phones? there is no good reason to do this unless you are in an extremely cold environment.
I'm agreeing with the ones bringing the lawsuit. The nicotine levels are higher than cigarettes and the users are not satisfied (according to the article anyway).
Deep fakes though make it much worse.

Before, only those inclined to believe a false narrative would allow themselves to be convinced by a selectively edited interview or whathaveyou.

From here out even the more discriminating of us are likely going to find ourselves being duped.

Who are still safe? The skeptics of course. Are we to be left as a society of skeptics though that doubt everything?
> (which makes sense given OpenBSD is a fork from netBSD)

> pre-college education is learning the fundamentals that do not depend on the job market.

That's the problem, though. Some companies, and many parents and students, no longer see it as that. They see secondary school as a place to train their future employees. And, because parents so often have to work multiple jobs, kids often come out knowing nothing about finance, so they complain about having to take classes like Algebra II.

To be honest, I feel like a lot of the problem could be solved if companies would actually go back to investing in employees. They want their employees to come fully-trained nowadays, and then don't really care about keeping them or their development. It pushes everything off onto the schools, which is also why so many feel like they have to attend university.

Fair point. Where I said "likely to fail" what I meant was "so likely to fail that they represent a poor use of capital" (for even a large investor and also for society as a whole).

As you've pointed out, there's a distinction between poor use of capital for the individual and a poor use of capital for society, and other groups in between.

I'm not proposing that this is the case about any particular investment it just seemed worth pointing out that such a type of investment does exist.

Much more dangerous than Ambien (or the other Z-drugs).

A dangerous/fatal overdose could be as low as 4-5x the therapeutic dose, especially if mixed with alcohol.

The Z-drugs, on the other hand, you can't really overdose on - at least not, as with 'Ludes', in the "stop breathing and die" sense.
Three years is not nearly enough time to finish PhD thesis work as an experimental physicist. Even if the goalpost was lowered for a PhD, a three year PhD program in physics would just be a glorified masters degree.

Plus, if it's even easier to get PhDs, we'll just end up with even more people having PhDs and the status associated with the PhD will be even lower. PhDs are becoming relatively commonplace, and the vast majority of them are not in academia because either there's no space for them, or they're simply not good enough.

Meeting someone with a PhD is no longer surprising. It's not "wow, you must be a renowned researcher" anymore, it's "wow, you were able to do lots of grueling work for 30k a year, and now you're in industry doing what everyone else is doing".

Arduinos are bit of a mixed bag imho. Especially the classic 8-bit Uno, which is more iconic than good/practical. I also find them bit pricy for what they are.

Of course they have their own market segment (artists/"makers"), and they seem to fill their role there perfectly well. But it is good to understand where they come from and how they are positioned at the market before plunging in.
> At least when you black out on alcohol, your motor abilities are severely impaired, to the point that you're just as likely to simply pass out before you make it outside.

That may be true for you, but it is completely false as a general statement. It is quite possible and very common for someone to be blacked out on alcohol while still functioning, sometimes appearing sober enough that people around them have no idea - they can carry on conversations, drive somewhere, hook up and have sex, it has even been used as defence in a murder case.
I think doctors as a group of individuals have proven they can't be trusted to weigh the risks. Consider the opiods epidemic as an example

this should be happening here in America more often to. There is no reason why we can't utilize our cheap vast farm land, a lot of it empty, for people who want to build things like robots, start bio-labs, do that sort of research, make interesting discoveries, build and manufacture products, work remotely, etc. There's already a huge supply chain network, and with 10kw of solar panels being under $5k (not including the inverter and wiring, I'm being very optimistic here:), and a diesel generator for other things, we should be encouraging it. The suppose next generation of satellite broadband is the icing on the cake. Right now, you're going to spend $150 for 2-3mb at 800ms, but hopefully that changes.

With the lowered cost of living, this lowers the barrier to entry to start a business. Imagine starting a business as an entrepreneur with your land and house already paid off, you'd be able to take far greater risks. I just spoke with a machine shop who complained that their prices on lathe parts are going up 25% due to the Trump China tariffs, and I asked them why don't they just make them here? The lathe parts are literally made on the lathe themselves. I pointed out, that their current product offering is basically a part-by-part clone of a popular lathe from the 1920s and is extremely outdated. Newer machines with less parts and higher precision could be more effective.

I think it is important to remember that what happened in Flint was bad. But we also know that telling self fulfilling prophecies and stigmatization are a thing. Too much media hype about the damage done can have a real detrimental impact on these children's lives. Too much fear about a generation of lead poisoned teens could lead to punitive policing measures like what we saw in the 90s.

> If entire populations were 'poisoned' in the 70s and continued to contribute to society without noticing a severe decline in productivity, the meaning of the word loses its meaning.

There may have been a severe decline in productivity (and peacefulness, well-being, etc). It's easy to see acute direct effects of poisoning; it's really hard to know for sure if these levels of lead exposure caused violent crime, but people have made a plausible argument that they did. See wikipedia:

> A 2007 report published by The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy, authored by Jessica Wolpaw Reyes of Amherst College, found that between 1992 and 2002 the phase-out of lead from gasoline in the U.S. "was responsible for approximately a 56% decline in violent crime". — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-crime_hypothesis

I don't care what word folks use, but I think there's enough evidence of negative consequences that we should ensure that the lead exposure of the '70s is never repeated—in Flint, in the other cities the article mentioned, or anywhere else.
Actually, it seems like a huge wasted opportunity. If a company is so invested in your software that it's willing to develop a custom patchset and an internal team to maintain it, then it would make a lot more sense to buy the service from the very people who wrote the software, that know it best and can pull together multiple customer wishlists into standard solutions. That's why the open source service model can exist, the original developer is uniquely positioned to profit from these synergies and deliver value for the customer.

So you can have your proprietary cake and eat it too, you can sell "NO WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED" commercial licenses at fixed prices, but at the same time, earn much more profitable support and customization contracts from select customers.

As for the people still opting to customize their own "NO WARRANTY" installation, of course they won't get and don't expect any support for their customization until they also buy a services license.
Perhaps discipline is one of the main issues but apart from that, One of the biggest problems with programming is that unlike other engineering majors there is no good qualification system.

Truth is MOST of the programmers are doing a really poor job and writing a really bad code and there is no good qualification to make sure you have right people in right place. While in other engineering majors there are clear ways for qualification.

For instance taking programming language as qualification is horrible but we do it.
I know Scala developer who have no idea what the F.. they are doing, yet they get paid well just because they are writing Scala.

I don't think these two things have to be mutually exclusive. Much of the retirement savings people do have is invested in the stock market. I created tons of wealth for Americans, it's just not distributed fairly. I'd like to see more Americans represented by unions. Unfortunately, the recent Supreme Court decision will make that much more difficult. Germany strikes me as good example of letting people share in the economic growth of their country. Some businesses are employee owned, many are unionized, and union reps make up some of the board members on public companies. That kind of thing is almost unthinkable in the U.S. but it benefits the average person greatly.
Yeah, not the way I look at it. The system of medicine (in the US, at least) is totally geared toward treating symptoms with a prescription.

Case in point: I was on prilosec for years. I weaned myself off it by moved to another over the counter med, but I was able to completely stop taking that went I went on a low carb diet--my reflux completely went away, which was a great surprise to me. At the time I was taking prilosec, the 90's, it was one of the most profitable drugs on the planet. There is a great incentive for doctors to just treat the symptom.

Btw, the reason I stopped taking prilosec: I had a followup endoscopy and saw from the video that the lining of my stomach was, rather than being smooth, completely covered in small bumps. When I asked the doc about it, he said they were harmless. After quizzing him about it, it was pretty clear that opinion wasn't backed by science, but the consensus among his peers. That was the last day I took prilosec.
The OP said 30 days not years.
