That implies that college is only important for skill transfer towards an occupation. Historically, part of college was to help an individual grow personally and intellectually, to learn not just what to think, but how to think clearly, in order to better engage with civil society as an active participant.

It's always a little off-putting when I see people suggest that higher education is just for a job, and discount the importance of the above. Education that teaches you how to work but not how to think is part of how you get people believing things like vaccines are bad.

Trade schools are awesome, not arguing that, but so is critical thinking.
"We won't do it again" is incredibly inadequate. I'm not familiar with the Japanese legal system, but punitive fines for the university plus the criminal charges on the individuals involved seem warranted here.
>Here in Tokyo I ended up with a Nissan Leaf v.2 (2018 model) with the 40kw/h model with real world range of 150 km (93 miles).

150 miles is the EPA range, not 150km.
> There is a strongly negative relationship between women's education and fertility.

Actually, it is a correlation between educated women having educated partners that know how to use contraceptive methods. Educate all men and women's education will be less relevant. Or stop any education of men, contraceptive methods will decline and fertility grow.

> Is this, in the long run, also good for the taxpayers?

It all depends. Is it good for "taxpayers" that humanity does not go extinct? Is taxes the only moral compass for our society?

Each time someone mentions a social advance for our society there is a big reaction against it because "costs money". Yes, it costs money, and it is money well spend in the citizens well being.

Is the legal system, schools, the police force, firefighters, etc good for taxpayers? Yes.

Does it costs money? Yes.

And that is why there is taxes. To pay for our needs.

It's a depressing feeling but the key point is that it's not motivating you any longer and motivation was the driving force of the project. When I face situations like that I usually raise the requirement bar up until it feels hard and fun again. So I suggest that instead of just doing what needs to be done with your project, invent a novel solution to the problem that is useful enough but most importantly - motivating you to do it
The noble goal of increasing the supply of doctors is, unfortunately, also what motivated the discrimination. They made this policy because they did not want limited doctor spots going to women who may drop out of the workforce after 5-8 years. In Japan, most women who have a child do end up dropping out of the workforce regardless of profession. My Japanese mother once told me that women being expected to or made to work by their family is distasteful, and that women should be "treasured". Her opinion is not the overwhelming majority, but it is a sizable part of the spectrum.

Regarding policy - of course the size of the class should instead be expanded to accommodate all who meet the bar, but unfortunately Japan also has issues with institutional rigidity and artificial licensure restrictions.

> The story of the batch plant also goes back to 1992, three years after Heemeyer had moved to the area. Heemeyer bought his two acres from the Resolution Trust Corp., the federal agency set up to handle the assets of failed savings and loan institutions. He bought the two acres for $42,000 but later agreed to sell it to the Docheff family, which wanted the property for a concrete batch plant, for $250,000. They agreed, but then he wanted $375,000 and at some later point wanted a deal worth approximately $1 million. All of this was well before the rezoning proposal hit town hall.

He got a quarter of a million for land he bought for $40k. That's hardly fucked into the ground.
The best way to cope with the stress of running a company is by having peers to talk to, like other startup founders.

The same is true of other hard roles in life, but most roles have built-in peer groups. Like, being a parent is hard so you need other parents to talk to, but you naturally meet other parents in your neighborhood. Being a soldier is hard, but you're bunking with other soldiers. Being a startup founder is isolating by default, if you don't make some effort to build yourself a support group.

The regular YC program helps with this because founders meet frequently in person and get to know each other. I've seen many lasting friendships come out it. Also, the YC partners and staff psychologist help many founders cope with pressure.

It's a valid concern that online-only startup schools will encourage people to start companies in isolation, and they'll end up with unbearable levels of stress. Ways to cope with pressure will be discussed, and there'll be peer interaction that could lead to lasting supportive relationships, but it's an open question how well it'll work without in-person connections.

Whether or not you're in the class, if you're suffering founder stress please consider doing a workshop with https://www.helloinnerspace.org/ (YC S15).
Good idea; I tried that. Unfortunately IPFS doesn't yet seem reliable. Or at least I couldn't get it to work very well. I'll try again though.

Wanna collab? Shoot me an email and we can work it out. I'm really interested in getting this concept running. If only IPFS were low latency and easy for average gamers to upload files to, that seems a perfect fit.

I was hoping that as users play games, they would also upload the games to other people who want to play. That way there's no scarcity of server resources. You could fit ~40 n64 games into 1GB, so it's not a lot of bandwidth.

This is somewhat misleading - there is a Europe-wide energy grid, Germany has many neighbors, and a lot of power has been flowing across borders even before this project started. It doesn't make sense to look at Germany in isolation. While I agree that the German approach is misguided (should have shut down coal first, not nuclear) I don't think it's as problematic as you make it seem - the spikes in wind average out excellently when you look on the scale of several countries, and daytime demand for solar power is large and growing due to industrial use (residential use peaks in the evenings, but residential use is insignificant compared to industry). A significant component of the Energiewende is replacing baseload fossils (coal) with peaker gas plants but the coal industry is very powerful and very much opposed to this, and many local governments are in coal industry pockets and resist any coal reduction (this is one reason why nuclear was shut down first). Peaker gas plants operate only when the demand is high and supply is low, running on a much lower duty cycle than a baseload plant. The way things are going now, there's been a rapid nuclear phaseout and there's a glacial coal phaseout very slowly happening, but solar and wind installations have been growing and are displacing more and more baseload. Eventually this will price baseload coal power out of the market, and then we'll see if the coal terrorists are powerful enough to get a bailout or to get solar legally destroyed like they did in Spain.

I used the TrueCar price as a starting point for negotiation. I emailed a bunch of dealers asking them to beat the out-the-door price until I found the dealer offering my the best price. I walked in with a certified cheque and bought it after a short test drive. I got my car below TrueCar. The dealer claimed that I was getting it below invoice and he was only making money because of incentives. I brushed it off as a negotiation tactic.

I think it's easier to do this for a popular car so your mileage may vary.
Japanese legal system is not. Their society is based on shame and status.
The coal terrorists are able to demand subsidies not because of their poor workers (they are in fact laying off lots and lots of workers as a side effect of mergers, and their total employment is just several thousand people) but because a lot of local government is funded by coal company shares held by cities. This is why coal is still a thing.
I can't speak for GP, but most people who don't like the switch from non-chronological timelines because their replacements are usually opaque algorithms that are optimized for maximum shareholder profit. That's a downgrade.

From TFA, since people love to react just to a headline:

“Just so there won’t be any misinterpretation about the rationale for our decision to sell, let me be clear: We’re a music company, and not, by our nature, long-term holders of publicly traded equity,” he said. “This sale has nothing to do with our view of Spotify’s future. We’re hugely optimistic about the growth of subscription streaming, we know it has only just begun to fulfill its potential for global scale. We fully expect Spotify to continue to play a major role in that growth.”
Seems like the main USP for SuperMemo is finding the optimum time for review. Does Anki also do this?

3, 4, and 5 are all pretty sore points. 2 would be as well if it weren't extremely likely that for any game you create roll some sort of reflection system. It would be a sore spot for small projects.

3 - No access to classes and polymorphism is a bit of a downer. Although I'm a big believer of data-oriented design, I think there are still many cases where modelling things as objects is the best way to go, especially for things like scene actors and game objects.

4 - No built in threading (core.thread) puts a hamper on any sort of distributed updating or performance optimizations you'd want to do. I'd imagine the workaround is external multi-threaded dlls or something, but it sounds like a pain to manage and deal with in a workflow.

5 - No dynamic arrays. This container is used abundantly in game development. It shows up 5 or more times for every heap/stack/queue. This may not be an issue if you want to write a special memory environment and your own containers, which is common in game development, but not having access to a standard one certainly hurts when it comes to smaller projects or graphics programming experiments.

I may be somewhat off base here since what happened is that I read about those being missing and decided not to try it.

Another note is that a big thing I'm looking for is massively improved compile times, which is one of the biggest things Jai looks to have over C++ in addition to its compiler hooks and #run.
I don't agree. If I'm doing the boring parts of a project at work, at least I get paid for it. If I'm doing the boring parts of a side-project, where the only benefit to me is that it's fun, what's the point?

> Algorithmic ranking is not evil.

If you give no other option than algorithmic ranking that is not designed to maximize my utility but your revenue, that is as close to evil as you can get in my books.

(Edit: as close to evil in the context of social media content sorting. There obviously are more evil things than that...)
Algorithmic ranking might not be evil per se, but it is if the algorithm is hidden and there is no way to adjust it, or to check what it filtered out.

Add to that a perverse incentive (money from ads and 'engagement') for the company designing the algorithm. How can that not lead to evil?
This is by far my favorite piece of software I've ever purchased (and one that's keeping me on Windows). It's very obtuse to use and not really user friendly at all unless you're just making flashcards with it. I get the impression that it's somewhat dogfooding taken to the extreme, and it's almost as if they're selling it as a side project.

There are so many random features like the sleep tracker (https://www.supermemo.com/help/sleep.htm) that don't really make much sense to have but are there anyway.

There's also a web version if you just want flashcards that's mainly focused on language learning. They sell some courses and you can add your own cards too.

The biggest selling point for me is the incremental reading (https://www.supermemo.com/help/read.htm) feature. It's the only way I can manage to keep track of so many articles that I find interesting, and is vastly superior to leaving hundreds of tabs open or a bunch of bookmarks I'll never look at. It's superior to instapaper,readitlater etc because I don't have to decide what to read when I open the app, and I don't have to worry about forgetting about the article if I stop in the middle of it.

If I see anything remotely interesting, I just chuck it in Supermemo, and I'll see it eventually. If it's really important, I'll set its priority higher so I see the article sooner.

If I'm doing research on something and have 15 tabs open, all 15 tabs go into Supermemo, and will eventually get whittled down into flashcards. Start with an article -> extracts -> smaller extracts -> cloze deleted flashcard.

Long comment chains on Hacker News? Supermemo. Youtube videos? Supermemo. Email? Supermemo. Images? Supermemo.

I check my RSS feeds once or twice a week, grab all the interesting articles, import into supermemo, and I'm done.

Supermemo for me replaces: Evernote/OneNote, most bookmarks, Anki, and various todo list apps.

If I just wanted to make flashcards from set material, I'd honestly use Anki, because of the mobile apps. It's really easy to do a few repetitions when you have downtime through the day.

Every person I've shown this app too doesn't really care about it, and I don't really know why. If I had to guess, it's probably because the UI is horrific. I can effortlessly keep up with so much information, and it takes an hour or two out of my day.
The issue is that something like this difficult to operationalize. User Engagement conflated with user satisfaction, with poor results. Maybe you could force your users to fill out Likert scales all the time, I bet they'd love that.
