> The largest monthly expense for anyone making $60,000 a year is most likely going to be rent, unless you are living in a car or a tent and showering at the gym like I was.

Even the most expensive markets there are a huge range of options. Today in NYC you'd be hard pressed to find your own private place for $1000/month. That wasn't true as recently as 5-6 years ago, but it is now. On the other hand you can find a very decent place for $1500/month. You won't be in Manhattan or the cool parts of Brooklyn, but you will be safe and comfortable.

$1500/month is still only 30% of gross on $60,000/year which leaves plenty of disposable income even in high tax NYC.

Maybe SF is worse, but if so that's the only place in the whole rest of the country that's worse.

The issue becomes when you "need" more bedrooms. Or insist on certain neighborhoods.
Yes but when you aren't allowed to use highly-enriched (weapons-grade) uranium it's a different story.

And space is a much different story for economics. Out there, fully enriching your fuel probably makes sense because weight is so expensive. My comment was limited to terrestrial reactors.

TV as we know it will change. The increase in speed and the always on capability will help streaming tv replace what we know now as over the air tv. What we know as scheduled programming will disappear. Youtube and Netflix will dominate and become the new TV.

This is happening now the difference is that 5g will increase speed, bandwidth will be unlimited and our TVs will always be connected.

I suspect that anyone will be able to start their own 5g streaming service and the impact of that on society will be immense.

We complain about facebook distorting society now imagine a world where anyone can start an easy to use streaming service and they can broadcast anything they want.
Most modern designs are specifically designed to not create materials that are easily weaponizable, which reduces the value of them (and thus theft). Accidents are an issue, and what do do with the waste is a huge question that will decide whether or not nuclear plants are economically feasible moving forward.

The difference in Rust's case is that whenever anything was removed it was replaced with something that was better designed. It provided escape hatches available to allow for workarounds (ie. unsafe, and a nice FFI), and to allow C libraries to bridge the gap while the ecosystem was still developing.
I’m not at all talking about renting a home vs owning a home. That’s going to be a significantly minor portion of a rental market. The nearest comparison is like sqft for like sqft apartment vs condo/townhome. That gets you closest to ceteris paribus without the actual total market data.
I’ve read your entire comment.
very edgy, but this isn't reddit.
I would really like to see some statistical studies of this stuff. My impression is prosecutors have always been leery about going after the rich and powerful but things have indeed gone further that way in the last twenty years. So measuring exactly how much seems important here.

The thing is, the "regulatory revolving door", where ex-regulators are appointed to private industry, gives at least a strong proxy measure of intertwined interests of business and US government. It's always hard to be sure what a few even important cases mean.
The point is that when someone directly compares 6/8 and 3/4, the implication is that the tactus (the place you feel the primary beat) is supposed to be different.

Of course you can take 3/4 music that happens to use a lot of two-bar structures and play it with the same feel as the same thing notated as 6/8.

But the point of comparing the two is not to highlight that case where the same music could be written either way. The point is to describe how if you take the same 6 8th-notes and give them a 3×2 feel, it's musically different from a 2×3 feel.

You are right. “Human Too” would have been better than saying “complicated.” I thought it was relevant to this thread because every other comment has the word “honorable” in it, but in fact he was no better or worse than any of us.
The distinction, as you've restated it, still isn't useful:

'From a business perspective, the thing that's different about "machine learning" compared to other things you do with data is that it's possible to take the human out of the loop.'

There are many things you can do with data that take humans out of the loop, that don't involve machine learning. For example, software that automatically re-orders stock in a supermarket once stock (calculated based on starting stock less sales) goes below some level.

You could argue that this still has a human in the loop (to define a threshold) and that you're not removing the human from the loop until the thresholds themselves are automatically calculated.

But then you're just moving the job of the human from deciding the threshold, to deciding what % of the time it's acceptable to be out of stock of that item. Sure, you can automate that, too, but then the job of the human still exists: she's just deciding the objective function that stock-out percentage must satisfy, rather than deciding the stock-out percentage for each SKU directly using a jupyter notebook or Excel sheet.

It seems like the majority of the commenters here are missing the point. The huge overhang of student loan debt is not a result of kids who go to a four year college, graduate with an unmarketable degree in philosophy, fall on hard times and then default. It's kids who go to barber school (and the like) taking on $30k of debt, then realizing they don't make enough money cutting hair to support themselves, much less pay back a loan. There's a huge population of people like that.

> So they have an actual class dedicated to teaching you about this, and that class fails to enumerate all of your options?

Two thoughts: (1) such courses are often opt-in and don't necessarily have tons of free time for off-topic discussions; and (2) many schools with such courses do in fact have robust CC-tracked options that all-honors students are not exposed to.

1. A class like this was offered by my high school (years and years ago...) I didn't take it. However, from what I remember talking with friends, our school's course was explicitly for people who were planning on going to college. So it'd be kind of weird to discuss alternatives. That would be like mentioning in a Biology course that Physics or English are also legitimate fields of study.

You'd think such a course would be wishy-washy and have plenty of time for discussing alternatives, but actually it was quite a serious thing.. Most of the students who took the course thought they were on-track for ivy league applications and then got a dose of reality in the form of a below-average standardized test score. They had a couple months to learn how to pattern-match and flash-card their way into the 90th percentile starting from the 50th percentile. I distinctly remember more than one person dropping AP Calc so they could focus on the college prep course...

(In other news, grade inflation and subjective grading are harmful because they are sparse & deceptive reward signals!)

2. Community college was very much not looked down upon; in fact, we had a robust partnership with the regional CC system and many students would spend junior and senior years splitting their week between HS and CC.

However, if you were honors/AP/college-tracked, then you wouldn't really know that those students even existed unless you socialized with those students. I only knew about these programs because of my friend group.

At a recent reunion, I talked with some guys who I recognized from my AP courses. They were complaining that our high school didn't offer non-college-tracked options. I mentioned the various programs my friends had made use of and they were shocked and swore up and down that those programs didn't exist when we were in school.

I wonder if either of these two things is true for OP. IME it's fairly rare for an entire high school -- let alone an entire school district -- to not have robust options for CC-tracked students. Maybe in super-affluent areas?

> Sounds like my sex-ed class in Georgia which never even discussed birth control.

Yeah... state law. Same for me. I had a teacher who risked her job to give us good info. If that was the case for anyone else reading this, consider looking up that teacher and sending a gift card or something their way. Doing so is a huge personal and professional risk.

What? Did you attend high school in the fifties?
Yeah! I also liked how escape hatches weren't looked down upon as much. They're kind of important if you want to be developing production software! It's cool to remove stuff if things are poorly designed (which Elm's native code API was), but it'd be great if something better was put in its place! Reason seems to be handling this in a decent way - Purescript as well. So there are other options at least.
It's just a humblebrag.

> I suspect the reason why many lottery winners end up broke soon is because most rational well adjusted people don't play lottery.

I know why you might think that, the articles talking about lottery spending by poor people and socioeconomic "failures". But they are not capable of the lottery spending necessary to reach jackpots numbers we see multiple times a week. Because all classes of society play the lottery at an even distribution.

The % of their income or net worth is negligible once you get to the middle class and higher. It is negligible and inconsequential and sometimes you win.

Your supposition is flawed, and also many more people are fine winning the lottery and you never hear about them. They buy the condo in South Beach and send their children to Ivy League schools and make up stories about their successful business, the end.
I agree with you in this case, but you shouldn't refer to your parent as a troll when they are a long-term participant on HN. I believe there is good faith in this this argument and there is no good reason to be rude.
The whole point of the original post and of the lesson describing 3/4 vs 6/8 was not to compare those two notations that indeed are effectively interchangeable.

The point was to compare (1) & (2) & (3) & to the different accent pattern of (1) 2 3 (4) 5 6.

Anyway, even in the case where you are instead counting the 8ths of 6/8 with the same timing as the quarters of 3/4, the 3/4 more readily allows the possibility of odd-numbers of measures in phrases.

That's like how 2/4 and 4/4 are truly identical if the notes are the same (the same son in either time signature is unchanged), but only in 2/4 can you readily have 5-measure sections (i.e. 10 quarter notes) as phrases.

Anyway, there's obviously some miscommunication between us. I assume you actually would agree with everything I'm saying if we were discussing in person. But your original post here will read to many people here as making the claim that there's no distinction between:

3/4 A E C E C E (all 8ths)

and

6/8 A E C E C E (all 8ths)

whereas the whole point of the original article was to describe that these identical timings have different feel because of the different accent structure.

Do you think there could be some semi-legitimate reasons for that behavior, beyond just laziness and cowardice? Cost is a big issue in the justice system. Of course, you should still go after murders (and other serious offenders), even if it's hard and costly.

At least some of the issues in our justice system stem from not having the resources to handle every case fairly. Every criminal case should be fully investigated and tried in court, but the system would break under these conditions.

So you end up with a highly perverse system based on extortion, and heavily biased depending on socioeconomic status. Sometimes it works "too well", other times it doesn't work at all.

And the error completely takes focus away from the point, which was about causality.

My only defense is that classical history was a 5ECTS course during my first year and I never actually finished the full five years before I went into CS. I should’ve obviously looked it up before posting to HN though.

As a little ironic/funny side note, the reason I changed to CS was because I was really bored by the fact that I had spent two years mainly learning how to work with source material and scientific methods, which wasn’t exactly what I’d hoped “history” would be. Now that just bit me in the ass, again. ;p

Good point about the KDE origins. Prominent in that lineage is Apple though.

If he was drafted, you might have a point. Yet he willingly joined a war that even back then everyone knew was unjust and pointless. I don't see how that makes anyone a hero, no matter what they do in said war. People in this country sure have a really fucked up conception of what a "hero" is.
Perhaps you work in an idiom that has no connection to the conventions of the notation system…?

So, for example, lots of pop/rock music gets notated rather arbitrarily in practice because it's mostly about the feel from recordings anyway. It's common in that world to see what classical convention would call incorrect notation. And since the core notes all work still and you can go by the feel from the sound you know, it doesn't really matter.

But the classical conventions include ideas that the subjective accents you describe are in fact implied by certain time-signatures.
I don't think it's clickbait, because there haven't been any vehicles yet that did anything like that with self driving. You'd also use a car, not an experimental giant truck. It had a driver too. And used roads. I just don't see it as confusing. The key thing for this semi is that it seems to actually works, drives on regular roads, can be recharged at superchargers. It's a real vehicle.
I read parts of a couple of Taleb’s books, Black Swan and Antifragile. There are a few original ideas in each and then they are reapplied again and again in different domains.

I often get how the applications go after reading the section titles, thus I think it can still be more concise. That said, the two books have much better signal-to-noise ratio than some high-brow journalistic pieces.

Smart people like Bill Gates are interested in nuclear because of the low footprint associated with the unbelievably high energy density of nuclear fuel. 1.5 soda cans of the stuff fissioned in a conventional reactor releases enough energy to power an average american's entire life (including transportation, heating, and electricity). The waste created is about 2 soda cans of toxic solid stuff that can be easily, safely, and practically stored in deep crystalline bedrock like the Finns are doing. Other energy sources dump their (more dilute) waste into the air causing lung disease (worldwide fossil fuels are estimated to kill 3 million per year this way) and global warming (death toll still unknown). Intermittent renewables are energy harvesters with free fuel but they require vast swaths of land, concrete, steel, fiberglass, storage, transmission, rare-earths, lithium, etc. etc. Nuclear has tiny land, material, waste, carbon, etc. footprints due to its energy density. The risks associated with radiation are just overblown by almost everyone. Nuclear reactors have net saved 1.8 million lives already, and counting [1].

Not really the point of the article, but I want to address this:

>The only bright spot is linguistics, the rare field that directly bridges the humanities and the sciences directly.

In my experience, the fact that linguistics is a humanity is just a historical quirk, and the fact that it does not pattern with the other humanities just shows that students are not blindly following the collages org. charts.

When I was in college, I added a linguistics minor because I wanted to have a science in addition to my math and computer science majors. I (and most of my class) was surprised when we learned that the linguistics was part of the College of Arts and Humanities. The linguistics classes I took in college were the clearest examples of what science looks like that I have had in my academic career.

And of course they were good friends of the party, ex-exxon, ex-origin (gas fracking), ex-jbp (most corrupt gov in aus history). No oversight, no investigation, no input from the environment minister, just a big lump of cash... "for the reef". But they probably will do something with it.[0]
