Sure, loans help increase prices just as with cars and housing. But the supply/demand equation is still the same. A high number of high school graduates want those few freshman seats at top colleges and are willing to pay X over the next 10-20 years to attend. College prices will rise until they hit that number. The structure of the loan (interest rate, terms, etc.) is factored into the value of X.

The problem comes when the actual value of graduating from a top college does not equal the expected value. That's where you get people making poor economic decisions (or when they don't read the interest rate on the loan). The people who have to pay $5k/month in student loans, but make $20k/month at their job are getting the deal they expected. But the people who knew they'd have to pay $5k/month but can only find a $8k/month job are having buyers remorse.
The data I found for the internal volume of the tanks says they're about 122 litres.

When I do the math with that volume, 10.000 psi, and 25 degrees, I get about 3400 moles, which is actually over 5 kg. But certainly 25 is an ideal temperature, so claiming 5 kg seems reasonable.
No, that's the point. Censorship is a specific thing, and to muddy the waters by claiming moderation is censorship means that during times of actual governmental overreach it will be that much harder to recruit people to your cause.

It's fairly easy to get people onboard with the idea of moderation, once you insist that that's censorship you now have a population that's "ok with censorship" which is exactly what the fascists trying to make the equality want.
Can someone (or a link) explain how these tariffs actually work in practice?
As in, what does "25% tariffs on $16B" mean, exactly?
Yeah that was also back when Southwest wasn't at Logan but wanted to advertise that they had the lowest fairs "in the Boston area".
If you allow me to put on my red hat (when was the last time you heard someone say that ?) then I have to say that this feels like typical PR speak where the opposite is closer to the truth than the actual statement.
Unnecessarily harsh.

It often comes down to advertising. No one (and I include Google and others in this) has properly figured out GDPR compliant advertising IMHO.

The effort of disabling ads for EU visitors is higher than just blocking EU visitors if you don't have a lot of resources.
We couldn't do that in the US. Some police departments have an unwritten policy of arresting people late on a Friday, so that they can be held the maximum amount of time before getting an arraignment hearing, where the charges may be summarily dropped because they were bogus to begin with. If you decide such arrests cannot trigger compensation for false imprisonment, the practice will not only continue, but increase, as a form of legal harassment. I'd give up the first hour in jail for free. That's plenty of time to put together an argument justifying the arrest, given that the arresting officer should have already had a reason prior to making it, and being an hour late is usually not ruinous. Either the lateness is justified by the arrest, or the fact of the arrest itself eclipses the offense of the tardiness.

What if there were a "speedy trial" clock? It ticks down faster (6x) between arrest and arraignment, when the accused is held in jail awaiting their initial hearing. It counts down more slowly (x/6) when the accused is released and preparing for trial. And it counts down at the baseline rate when the accused is arraigned and held in jail awaiting trial. The defense, and only the defense, can request that the time to trial be extended. If the case is dropped unilaterally, or the trial verdict is not guilty, the state is on the hook for the amount of time counted down off the trial clock.

So if the cops arrest you on Friday at 5 PM for the express purpose of keeping you in jail for the maximum amount of time before seeing a judge or magistrate on Monday morning, they piss off the prosecutors, who counted down 2 weeks off their clock for the 2.5 days spent in jail awaiting the initial hearing. And if the judge denies release because the prosecutors claim the accused is a danger or flight risk, they have to back up that assertion by throwing more resources into the pending trial before the clock runs out. Maybe the clock allows 30 days for someone arraigned within hours and held without bail, and 180 days for someone released pending trial.

If you don't want to bind up your court calendar, you release everyone who isn't dangerous, put extra effort into processing those held in jail pending trial--possibly preempting trials on lesser crimes--and try to make more deals when too many trials are running their clocks out at the same time. Prosecutors that lose too many cases to "failure to provide a speedy trial" motions and pay too many of the subsequent false imprisonment claims risk losing their jobs after the next election.

The New York system has a similar clock, but they allow the prosecution to pause it by engaging in dubious and deceptive practices. Not a good model. The problem is that the prosecution side gets no negative feedback for egregiously failing to honor the rights of the accused. They don't get checked when they commit an obvious wrong.

At the least, this would encourage more municipalities to have an on-call weekend magistrate.
>>>They simply are not a bad thing.

Not being antagonistic hear - but your sentence reads like you meant it in absolute terms, as if they are never a good thing.

That's quite a claim - can you elaborate on it? Your post gives a trivial example, would be great to hear your actual reasoning.
There are devices called “supercapacitors” that work a little bit like this. They have rather weird electrical characteristics. I think they’re occasionally used as car starter batteries, but they’re mostly used as very long-lasting devices that can store a moderate amount of energy for backup use. I have a nifty DIMM with some supercapacitors that power a circuit that will wrote the contents back to flash if the power fails.

> I have taken some photographs I love, but they aren't technically good and are only good to me (because of the memories with the photo or who is in the photo).

This is a dilemma of lots of people who shoot professionally - they have photos that they want to keep because of the subjects/moments/memories which are objectively not as good as the photos that could take with the same subjects/moments/memories if they had approached them more as the professional shoots -- they did not.

The solution to that is simple - two different collections. One for the 'Personal photos' and one for 'Excellent Photos'.

> It's annoying as I love it, and I love going out and practicing more. I've read lots on composition etc and how to use my camera but I find it so hard to actually picture the scene in my head and what will make a good photo

Never take one photo. In fact, never take two or three photos. Take dozens photos even if you are just tapping a button on your phone camera app. Move phone left. Move it right. Change angle. Move closer. Move out. But keep pushing the button. After that pull the photos for the same scene into a strip and do an edit. First cull obviously bad photos - out of focus, washed out background if you did not want it, weird dude sucking on his thumb in a corner etc -- you took a dozen photos of nearly the same scene so it is not like you don't have a room to cut. After that do a tennis tournament. Compare two photos side by side. Pick a dinner. Delete the loser. Walk this down to 1 photo for that scene and be amazed at how much better that photos is than the one you thought you were going to get.

> Also, what are peoples throw away rates like? If I go out for a day with the camera and take say 20 photos. I might save 1.

If you have people in the photos, then keeping one in twenty for a day of shooting is a very high and unnecessary precious keep rate ( please don't take it the wrong way ).
It reminds me very much of Whitman's The Untold Want. Or at least, how I've always read it. A very lovely poem indeed.
I really like how the API is structured similarly to how someone designing a visualization would think about what they actually want to do (i.e. "Connect one end of the line to the box, and the other end to wherever the pointer is").

You're not going to like how PuTTY is written then either. The entire initial portion of the SSHv2 protocol, from version string exchange to the end of user authentication, is coded as one huge (10Kloc) C function that uses a macro-driven Duff's device to implement co-routine behavior (it's all async I/O under the covers).

To me, one huge file or many small ones doesn't matter all that much because I have cscope on my side. What matters is being able to find things quickly. Still, one huge file means I can asterisk on a symbol in vim to quickly find all references to it without having to switch to cscope -- that's not nothing.

Also, https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/trunk/common/lib/libc/mis... is just not that big... only 1639 lines, 1310 sloc. Compare to, let's say, OpenSSL, where 29 C source files have more lines than ubsan.c, with several being more than twice the size. Maybe you think OpenSSL is not a fair example because there's lots of tables and what not? Even if you look at files outside crypto/, you'll find lots of big ones. Just for fun I looked at a variety of other open source projects: Heimdal, MIT Kerberos, glibc, PostgreSQL -- you'll be shocked when you look at their file sizes, even when you elide files that are obviously mostly-data.

Source file size is not that interesting. The contents is. When a set of sources is small enough, organizing it into multiple files is not necessarily a win. 1.3kloc doesn't seem like that big a file.
I don't get how this relates to Mozilla's mission, I especially don't understand how technologies that are core to their mission (open communication with Thunderbird, open identity with Persona) are left abandoned. I'm not offended by the extension, I'm more befuddled why they're wasting their time and money on something very few people want. My friends/social network are going to suggest cool stuff to read, not some startup's bot reading by browsing history.

Mozilla's mission is the reason people use Firefox. Chrome (and siblings) are better supported by developers and have significantly better performance. Mozilla's marketshare will continue to dwindle if they continue to invest their time in projects like this.
"Welfare" in this sense could mean imposing artificial limits on competition. The domestic industry receiving the shelter of the tariff benefits from increased supply. Although not a direct handout of cash, the industry benefits all the same. The benefits from a tariff for a domestic industry should be short lived. In the long run, tariffs hurt everyone.

The administration has also set aside $12 billion to relieve farmers hurt by the tariffs. [1] This money could come from the money generated by the tariffs, making it look more like a handout.

I think that debate is far from settled.
In my university days, I used a word processor (Libreoffice Writer) as a kind of clipboard: I would copy and paste tables and webpages into it, and use it for something, I don't recall what. It's a bit like a quick-and-dirty Dreamweaver and it interacts with copy-and-paste beautifully. Kudos to the Libreoffice people.

A lot of the alternatives, like LyX, are too opinionated to paste into from the browser.
I find it a bit strange that I have to download the LibreOffice "built-in" help package separately.

It seems the real shame is not that college is expensive, but that we've wasted the time of our youngsters.

I can't disagree with this. It's been a problem for a very long time.

When I first went to college many moons ago, even back then there were classes for the incoming students who needed to be brought up to college level. These classes were always full.

It always seemed to me that community colleges should fill that gap. Back then, community colleges were considered a joke and just a glorified vocational school. If that's changed, I'm glad. But I feel like if more money and effort were put into community colleges they could shed that stigma and provide a usable college education for everyone.

I was at an education conference a couple of years ago, and according to the speakers there, what's happening behind the scenes is the seeds are being planted at a high level to make community college a guaranteed (free) right in America, the way elementary and high school is. The reasoning is that back when K-12 was established as the norm, that was the normal education one needed to get by in life. Now a two-year degree is the minimum, and the government should step up and add that as well.

Naturally, the problem is always paying for it. But there were some people positing that more educated people get higher-paying jobs and pay more taxes, and somehow it will all work out that way.
This may be the case as of this exact moment, but I see two things here that work in China's favor:

1) Given the current balance of trade between the US and China, each $1 of retaliatory Chinese tariffs has a larger impact as a percentage of trade flow than each $1 of US tariffs.

2) The Chinese economy is much more nimble and diverse than the US, and – especially with government intervention – may have an easier time developing domestic alternatives to US goods.

On an unrelated note, it's interesting that they're implementing a tariff on recyclables. That could be a devastating blow to the already struggling US recycling market.
Cards can be really useful for systematically expanding your "active vocabulary" in a programming language or framework. Yes, you can research stuff, but sometimes you don't know what you don't know. Cards can be one useful way of doing this.
> Is everyone in these comments shortsighted in thinking that this is good for the long term?

How deeply have you thought about the issue? I mean really, really thought about it. Trying to poke holes in your own deeply held beliefs, that kind of thinking.

“He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them...he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.”

― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty

I can think of several ways things could play out in this trade war that would end in terrible results for the US, China, the whole world, and every different combination you can think of.

Can you think of even one scenario where the current status quo might produce bad results for even one nation? Or, do you truly believe that our current model (which objectively is still very much protectionist, in a variety of very complicated ways) happens to be designed absolutely perfectly to produce the optimum outcome for everyone under all scenarios that our infinitely complex and unpredictable world throws at us?

Personally, I believe a better approach is for everyone to get out of their ideological mental straight jackets and practice critical thinking, conversation, honesty, and cooperation skills. And if we can pull that off, then maybe then we can hold our respective political leaders to some sort of a similar standard.
There is an incestuous network of profit driven companies who benefit from this. Apart from the bail bonds and insurance companies detailed in the article there are also private prisons.

All these interests are perfectly aligned to lobby and fund campaigns and 'grow their business'. Their presence and funding of DA and judges is a clear conflict of interest. This is basically a synergy of corruption and exploitation.

Corporate drones and funded economists go on about 'freedom' and this is a perfect example of how markets can produce toxic outcomes for individuals. Other developed countries do not mix up private interests and profit motives in their justice system and do not have problems of this scale.

But the worst thing for individuals is once tainted, even wrongly, it becomes difficult to get back to get back to normal life, be it employment, housing or credit.

It doesn't really work like that. You can't unmince meat back.

Once there is demand for education you can't roll it back by not delivering.

Moreover you can't fix anything by cheating on people and/or making their lives miserable. That's putting oneself in a very bad position indeed.

It sounds more and more of a bad joke. In Russia, you cheat on exams for University, but in Japan, University cheats on exams for you.

I strongly disagree. Tariffs and welfare are both ways that the same thing manifests itself. They're both government handouts; just one is to those who are destitute, and one is to the wealthy.

I disagree. Hololens is used for plenty of custom applications in the construction industry. You just don't hear about them because they are pretty much inhouse projects, likely implemented on top of unity (hence low cost and simple to deploy).

Something important about hormones, that this article completely avoids, is how the pharmaceutical industry abuses the actual findings of science to sell products.

A British doctor, Katharina Dalton, noticed that her monthly miseries went away when she got pregnant. She coined the term "Premenstrual Syndrome" ("PMS") for women's problems that go away as soon as their period starts. She further found that her patients' experience of PMS went away with the injection of Progesterone USP, which is the hormone that gets most amplified during a pregnancy.

https://books.google.com/books?isbn=0091856086

A later scientist figured out how to use Progesterone USP without injections. Industry sells micronized (finely-ground) Progestone USP pills, but these don't work very well on account of the first-pass metabolism.

In the mid-century, while Dr. Dalton was doing her science, Industry was teaching doctors to prescribe the synthetic estrogen DES to prevent miscarriages. Now we know that DES causes cancers in the children of the treated. Whoops.

Today countless women are given prescriptions to "regulate" their hormone cycles, or to protect them from getting knocked up. These prescriptions -- marketed as "birth control" -- use hormone-analogues that aren't actually perfect replacements for the natural hormones.

The steroid cycle only works with the right inputs -- cholesterol, thyroid, Vitamin A: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steroid#/media/File:Steroidoge...

The tragedy of the situation is that the practical implementation of the science of hormones has gone exactly nowhere since Dr. Katharina Dalton's initial research in the 1950's. The modern standard of care specifically condones modern doctors' replacing a foundational step in their patients' steroid cycle (Progesterone USP) with an imposter (Medroxyprogesterone Acetate, etc). Some women do fine with this substitution. Some women never recover.

The anti-science of prescription fake-hormone marketing is an ongoing travesty and tragedy.

> Isn't that sexist?

Nope. Now, it might leverage sexist elements of the surrounding society, but it's not sexist itself.

> Using your looks to attract visitors and earn more money?

It's certainly the case that the reason this works asymmetrically for women vs men is because of sexist attitudes about gender roles; exploiting knowledge of that isn't inherently sexist, though. It might be criticized for reinforcing and validating the existing norms (OTOH, to the extent that it is an exploit to overcome a block which then allows people to see non-sexual value offered by the women, it might actually be undermining the norm rather than reinforcing it.)

> Where are the angry feminists now?

Mostly, worrying about sexism rather than women doing what they can to survive in a sexist world.
Your points are valid, but you should know that they have a few partnerships (that we already know about...) to produce AAA quality launch apps. So their investment in content might be bigger than you think.

One major application that we know about is in the comic book space. That's not a huge market, but there are definitely some hardcore fans that would be willing to pay the premium in order to wallpaper their homes in their favorite giant sized comic books.

For me, if the quality is high enough that I can read comics without serious eye strain, than I will be buying it.
