> Let's leave thought policing to the politicians and the government.

That's actually exactly what the First Amendment of the United States Constitution explicitly prevents.

What it doens't prevent, though, is what you're actually upset about. Private corporations and individuals can censor all day long in the United States. It's a great misunderstanding that they're somehow not entitled to that.
Administrators and swanky campuses are expensive.
Most of the cost is just the patent exclusivity plus paying for R&D/testing. If someone invents a new mechanism it will have to start over again and will stay expensive for another decade or two.

The simpler thing is do enough testing to extend the life of the current solution to 3-5 years. The manufacturer will have no incentive to do that unless there is some competition.

If you haven't used a fountain pen recently you're really missing out. They aren't expensive and it really helps clarity.

Pilot Varsity pens are plastic disposable fountain pens, sell for $2-3 each in a pack.

Pilot Metropolitans are ~$12 but feel really expensive. They are metal and have replaceable cartridges. You can get a italic nib which I love.

Lamy pens are great too, they suit me because they're larger even if they aren't metal.

When I write with ballpoints it looks terrible in comparison.

However, even supposing these congestions are important to human wellbeing, the argument still fails to be compelling because it understates the development of psychological knowledge that would occur alongside the technological development.

Why shouldn't the techno Utopia be able to take advantage of psychological findings to maximize happiness of humans? If the theory about congestion leading to happiness is true and empirically discoverable, then the techno Utopia can take advantage of it to increase happiness by integrating the 'best' kind of congestion possible into the lives of its human constituents.

I personally agree that these congestions are inessential. They are only desirable insofar as they force people who ordinarily "live in the fast lane" to meditate, daydream, and socialize. These are actual essential activities in my opinion. When inefficiencies are removed people will actually have more time to directly focus on these things, rather than having their meditation/social time relegated to periods where they are waiting on something they should not have to.
> The comment I was replying to was saying, in effect, "I want to be able to earn a graduate degree without having to earn an undergraduate degree".

They're a publicly-traded corporation. If they don't grow by a certain amount every quarter, their stock will drop. Also, if there's a market they could get into and they choose not to, they could be sued by their shareholders.
>The idea that modern annoyances (sitting in traffic, waiting in checkout lines, searching/browsing for information) are somehow essential to the human experience is super weird given that most of these things have only been around for 50ish years in their current form and less than 1,000 years in any form.

There two ways (at least) that the argument can still be perfectly valid:

1) Recentness or not doesn't matter. Women vote and no slavery/segregation are also recent things that have also "only been around for 50ish years" (or close enough), but one would presumably still consider them essential.

2) The gist of the argument is probably not about those particular annoyances per se, but about having annoyances (or non-optimizations or room for error, etc) in general (all of which are driven away by technology).
this is the one issue I never see proposed by the politicians trying to buy votes with free college. it should only be "free" provided you give back to society as prescribed by the education you receive. this might mean there is no free college for the profession you choose but so be it. we have it for teachers and there are other fields that would warrant investment as well.

The CIA has a tendency to do its own thing, and the NSA found the vulnerabilities. To my mind, this suggests that the NSA is competent at their job when allowed to do it. Further, the CIA could stand to benefit by allowing the specialists at the NSA to perform their function rather than trying to replicate it in-house.

This is naught but my opinion, and I understand where others might differ in their reading of the situation presented to us.

The problem isn't so much that unions are incentivized to bargain for as much as possible. Every one who participates in the economy is trying to get the best deal for themselves. The problem is that politicians aren't restrained by cost. If a union demands that hole diggers be paid $100 an hour instead of $10 an hour, a politician will gladly give it to them even if it will bankrupt the state.

Edit: I think I should note that I'm specifically referring to unionized government workers.

[0] We built Stripe Atlas to help entrepreneurs from all over the globe start and run an internet business, no matter which industry they're in, where they're based, or their gender or ethnicity. However, women are still not starting companies or raising money at nearly the same rate as men—women made up only 7% of founders whose companies received more than $20M in VC funding between 2009 and 2015.

Which fits with my description of recognizing a need to actively reach out to women because (reasons).

That in no way questions her genuine passion, etc.
No, if you're using it by itself as a noun, it's 2nd declension when masculine and 1st declension when feminine, just like most nouns coming from adjectives and exhibiting obvious gender. Agricola and its cousins are exceptions, not the general case. Compare amicus / amica.

Alternatively, if you're using it by itself as an adjective, obviously it will take the appropriate gender. You don't need an explicit noun if you're happy with an implicit "man", "woman", or "thing".
This is a fantastic organization with a transformational message – would highly recommend their book and their consulting if you're at a company so enlightened.

Holy shit. Maybe I'll stop complaining about the US plastering the names of the accused all over if this is the alternative.
You can strategically install the polling station.

I would imagine something like this at a music festival, business or academic convention, etc...

That way you already have an idea of the respondents, who could be your customers/users, and then account for the bias they share because of their location.
Like most of you, I come here regularly and I go to the comments first (most of the time), but I add most of the articles that I'd like to read to Pocket (a read-it-later tool) so that I prioritize what I want to read at a later time when I have more time.
But then it’s memory in general, not specifically for vocab.
And this is the end users problem... how?
I lose and then find pens, and when I find them, they seem to be out of ink. Or just dried up, I dunno.
Hence “issues”
I agree that a lot these new technology is overhyped. That being said, majority (I would anecdotally argue more than 99%) of new founded science never make it to the market usually due to market limitation (too expensive to make) and adoption (fear of new technology). Battery technology can definitely use a boost but 5 years is nothing on a project scale for a new technology. Making something is super hard. Making something that the market adopts is even harder. Think about the digital camera. Minus the amount of time to develop the CMOS sensors, the "first" digital camera was made in 1975. It took 20 years before it was a consumer friendly device. It took another 20 for us to have the cellphone cameras today.
Can you elaborate on that, why, what exactly makes is so bad?
Agreed, this was exactly the thing that led to me dropping out of college as well. In retrospect moving into software was the better decision, and I now have the money to go back if I choose, but folks missing out on the education experience because of poor law is completely avoidable.

> 1949. The year that the retractable pen was first introduced.

That's not precisely true.

There were many retractible fountain pens, modern refinements of which are still sold today. The Boston Safety Pen, for instance, requires the user to retract the nib into the body before it may be capped. It was made from about 1904 to 1917: http://www.vintagepens.com/safety_pens.shtml

It might have been the first capless retractable pen, though. I can't think of anything that came before it that didn't also have a cap.
But what if they fuck it up and your kids dies? That's the (not totally irrational) fear - parents want the nurse using something they are already familiar with.
And here you see a difference between free and "free".
That would mean they're getting increasingly inefficient, significantly so? Given how much costs have increased.

Certainly factors into the cost, but seems unlikely it's the key factor in the rising costs.

This is just a secondary effect. The primary issue is the principal agent problem. There's effectively no limit to what doctors can charge because demand isn't limited by price. So they charge a lot.
I disagree with your assumption that a lack of censorship means total anarchy. Consider that Twitter has cultivated an environment conducive to politics and journalism. It's not that Alex Jones is off-topic it's that he's saying disagreeable things.

> We already have a tonne of mechanisms by which anybody can say anything they like, within the confines of the law, and ignoring that arguably infowars breaks that, why does _everything_ need to be like that?

Because digital communication is important, and I think it should follow the same mechanisms as analog communication.
Whoops, I see my mistake, thanks.
One is that the states are often bordered by major rivers or oceans, the economic centers are there, and they want the capital to be somewhere closer to the middle of the state, geographically. Another reason is that it's more secure, militarily.
Cloud<everything> should not really be trusted for anything that requires privacy (unless you encrypt the data locally first using GPG or something similar).

Well, I can estimate my performance will surpass last years' shipping CPUs too.

Because I'm the one making the estimate.

ARM is definitely a juggernaut these days and it's great Intel has competition.

But it's not an Apples-to-Apples comparison to pit your roadmapped, vapor product against Intel's shipping CPUs.
> They aren't expensive.

Well, they aren't all expensive.

I highly recommend the Pilot Kakuno for a first fountain pen; it's not luxurious by any means, but the nib is excellent for the price. The Wing Sung 698 is also really excellent, for ~$15.
Unfortunately, common or not, the usage of "alumni" in that context is incorrect. It may be a bit pedantic to insist on correctness in Latin, but all other schools use the term correctly and it doesn't reflect well on a well-regarded school to use the term incorrectly.

For DNS:

For my own domains, they auto-renew. They will pester me through email and phone if my CC expires.

For work domains, they also auto-renew and a CSM will tell us if the root servers changed without the registrar changing anything.

For SSL:

For my own certs, I use a little script to ensure LetsEncrypt is doing it's thing. This is the manual version. (sanity check)

#!/bin/bash
set -o posix
set -u

do
echo -en "\n${domain}:\t"
echo | openssl s_client -servername "${domain}" -connect "${domain}":443 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -dates | grep After

For work SSL certs, the registrar will also tell us if SSL certs are not set to auto-renew and our monitoring software will alert on certs about to expire.

As an example: organizers of an electronic festival use this to know if the 2018 festival-goers prefer Trance or Drum'n'Bass (or between artists).

With the results, they can book artists for 2019 accordingly. And it doesn't matter much if the results are not representative of the population. The bias of the respondents / non-respondents inside the festival can be mitigated by advertising the polls.
Wikipedia says the ISEPIC cartridge was released June '85, so I could see that actually happening. There were very few games I ever saw that didn't have the ISEPIC fastloader.
