Can you name a single country that has accessible, inexpensive, high-quality higher education system provided entirely by the private sector?

The view that free markets are some sort of magical panacea for education or especially healthcare strikes me as an extraordinarily anti-empirical -- if admittedly hyper-rationalist -- position.
It looks like Google had rules to officially be non-partisan, but many employees were making race-based assumptions in an attempt to be partisan while appearing to follow the rules. (they would assume Hispanic==Democrat, then promote accordingly) Afterward, race-based assumptions are made about the feelings of other Google employees.

So we have partisan behavior using the might of Google, race-based assumptions about voters, and race-based assumptions about coworkers.
I've long wondered if the best way to buy software may be to just buy from multiple vendors and see what works best, damned the purchase costs, just to fix the information asymmetry.

The only thing going away faster than the manual at this point are dual clutch transmissions. Never really perfected in most instances, and the latest slushboxes actually outperform them. Faster shifts, more reliable, cheaper. I prefer my manual very much, but I have to hand it to the engineers, they've turned what used to be a performance-killing design into the best you can buy.
"Sometimes a 99% accuracy parsing". Well I'm sold.
Some things will always need heavier processing client-side. If your site depends on high frame rates and a GPU, it's not in the "vast majority" category I was talking about, and my argument doesn't apply. My complaint is that far too many web designers building a site for a newspaper or a blog or a retail storefront seem to think they need a framework appropriate for a FPS game.
2-6? That never happens. You'd probably blow your engine before you did it. Not many people hitting 50 mph in 2nd gear.

At a local meetup we had a speaker come in and talk about "The Process" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_76ers#2013%E2%80%93present:_The_Process_era) which he deduced is design a strategy for long term success and see what happens. My thought was most tech employees and executives have very short tenure (3 years) so making short term decisions is incentivised (there is a lot of writing on this.) You can imagine as a product manager/GM/VP you'd push very hard on something like Amazon showing ads because its "new revenue" and regardless of if its a good idea in the long term for the business, its runs on the board in the short term which will provide yourself as an individual with the best results.

I don't know if people will be shocked with that type of thinking, but I've been thinking about it more and more this year.

When you subsidize industries they no longer attempt to contain costs. Unintuitively, instead of getting cheaper they get more expensive. There's an interesting video by Peter Schiff on the subject: https://youtu.be/AIcfMMVcYZg
Well, once we went past the point where most cars had an automatic, we quickly got to the point where basically nobody knows how to drive a manual. So it feeds on itself. Guy that I work with just traded out his Mazda 3 for a new one, got an automatic this time because his girlfriend can't drive a stick. Wouldn't learn. So... that's how you get nearly 100% adoption.
What does species mean here? I haven't seen this usage before.
I've been very happy with the Audi DSG. Absolutely no complaints. Though when I need to pass on a narrow road sometimes I use the paddle to downshift before I hit the gas just to save the car from the split second it takes to realize I'm serious about accelerating (when not in sport mode). But that's not a big difference in actual acceleration time.

I'm interested in what is meant by "We pushed to get out the Latino vote with our features, our partners, and our voices." I noticed a lot of Google products telling to register and vote, and I am a young person living in a liberal area (and not to mention, Hispanic). Were these election notifications nation-wide or targeted? I think it would be sketchy - though not quite scandalous - if they targeted certain demographics.

Surely you mean 2 seconds?

T = 2*pi*sqrt(L/g) = 2*pi*sqrt(1 m / 9.81 m/s^2) = 2.01 s
I definitely agree with this. I think there's obviously a point where the complexity savings from using a macro outweigh the inherent disadvantages. But I'd also guess that a large percentage of the programmers using them wouldn't know where to draw that line, and probably don't spare a single thought on it.

My point was more around instances where the supposed benefits of moving that logic to build time are superficial, which as you alluded to, is rife within the JS ecosystem.

I hate to pick on Vue too much, because for the most part it's a pretty good tool, but in their docs they claim one of the motivations for building Vue and using it over React was that it's more familiar to people who have built traditional web apps, because it leverages more html/css knowledge rather than JS knowledge (it doesn't, other than in superficial ways, by the way. But that's a discussion for another day). This seems insane to me. Just as insane as if you used a ton of C or Lisp macros to make the language look like Python, just because your devs were used to Python. I feel like in those communities you'd get called out for adding a bunch of accidental complexity and told to suck it up and just learn C. But in JS land it's just par for the course.

> When I got a Tesla, I realized what I was really looking for was responsiveness.

Yup.

The responsiveness of an EV makes even a Nissan Leaf feel surprisingly zippy.

When I drive my wife's CRV (which has a CVT), it feels bad when I floor it to pass someone and I have to wait for the RPMs to increase before it actually really begins to move. Even in my manual BRZ, it takes me a second to clutch in, give it gas to rev match while moving the shifter, and release the clutch. And I've had times dropping to second where I rev-matched poorly while releasing the clutch too fast, causing a bit of wheel spin, which made the traction control hit the brakes a bit.

Feels bad, man.

Looking forward to getting an EV in about 5 years. Planning on getting a Tesla Roadster if I can afford it. The wife would rather see me settle for a Model S P100D though.
> If it is all those three via TOR's utility I'd love it, but I'm guessing it is neither or just one.

It is all three, but it's not technical NAT hole punching as much as just connecting to relays. So any device that can call out to the internet can setup a local onion service, similar to how those localhost-to-public-address dev tunnels work.
Even the people who insist on manual reinforce this cycle because the only cars that have one are older, so they buy used and then the few manufacturers who offer manuals in new vehicles look at the numbers and say, "hmm, nobody seems to want a manual."
AJAX requires client-side coding. I didn't say you didn't need client-side coding; I said you didn't need very much. AJAX (or the equivalent via websockets) is still necessary for partial page rendering and decent interactivity, which I think are still desirable features for the modern web. But of course for strictly static sites like most blogs you don't even need that.

Oh damn that'd be great. Similarly, foreign keys in json(b).
I have used Ada a lot on big projects. It takes slightly longer to develop programs, but this time lost is regained by spending less time hunting bugs. Finding good developpers in Ada is a real problem. You need at least one good developper in a team. I have never encountered performance issues (nor significant performance gain). I would choose Ada in a new project only if I am sure of the developpers competences and the problem requires complex multitasking.
I really disagree with the philosophy espoused in the article, which is that the web will not succeed for 'users' in this or that place on this or that hardware unless 'developers' decide to do things in a certain way.

This is not what the web is about, at all. The web is not centralised, relying on all-powerful 'developers' to decide to build things for 'users' who are powerless and must accept what they are given. It's the opposite. If people don't like things they can build better things themselves. If something doesn't work for them, they can build something that does. The tools are out there, the knowledge of how to use them is out there and freely available, there are practically no barriers to entry to building stuff assuming you have a computer and an internet connection.

So, yeah, just build things in the way you think is best. If people don't like it they won't use your thing, and will use someone else's thing that serves them better or just build their own. That's both the greatest beauty and the greatest strength of the web.
Yeah, once. If you can't even be bothered to do that, raid leading (hell, even just raiding) isn't for you. There's a lot more frustration to come.
Agreed, once the final missing pieces are in place (mainly garbage collection at this point) javascript will be an opt in kind of thing rather than the only available choice.

Personally, I might get my hands dirty with Kotlin on the frontend. I'm using it on the backend currently so the transition should be relatively smooth for me and I have some crappy JS code that I would love to get rid of at the earliest convenient moment. I imagine there are also a lot of Android developers that might be willing to work on Kotlin based web apps that like me would prefer to not deal with Javascript.

I imagine short term things will be a bit rough as tooling and frameworks are still evolving. But as that improves, there will be a very sharp increase in the amount of non JS code running in browsers. Currently the big milestones for Kotlin would be the 1.0 release of the native compiler (0.8 is the latest, I believe), related work on WASM support, and the finalization of things like garbage collection in WASM. Looks like that should all be happening over the next 6-12 months.

Even if the quote says the public system that covers most students is "working well", the average student loan debt of a graduate is still pretty high [1]:

> When they graduate [in 2016] the average student loan borrower has $37,172 in student loans, a $20,000 increase from 13 years ago.

Of course this is an average, but I don't expect this is something where some people with millions of dollars in student loans are skewing the averages. I imagine the median is not that far off.

It's secure. It defeats keyloggers and it prevents the password from being remembered by the browser and enumerated.

Socialists believe in fun.

Socialists Orwell was familiar with 75 years ago may not have written much about fun (or, at least things Orwell found fun) in their utopian literature, but I suspect hat that's largely because recreation wasn't an area of society that they felt needed fixed, so it wasn't the focus of it utopian literature.

In any case, I'm not sure how much relevance the observation (much less the explanation offered for it) has now, even if it had some in 1943; more recent left-wing utopian fiction does address recreation (whether Orwell would find the utopias described therein to be fun is, I suppose, an open and unanswerable question), notably including Callenbach’s Ecotopia, which certainly is more relevant to the views of the modern American (or Western, more generally) left than the works referenced in Orwell’s work.
This implies I was giving less blame to those folks. I'm not taking away any responsibility from anyone for dangerous behavior. However, especially with how highly visible lights are on modern vehicles, it is silly to not realize any situation that at all inhibits visibility will benefit from extra signaling.

As I said down thread, I think I can logically and in full conscious support both of those statements. :)

So, yes, folks that are being negligent deserve the blame in wrecks they cause. However, signaling benefits everyone. Including folks driving in fog/rain/night/whatever.

When I was learning to drive my parents taught me in an old early 80's beat up station wagon. It was manual and had no power steering and the worst clutch I've ever used to this day. It took me a long time to learn to drive.

A few years later they sold the car and both my sisters learnt to drive in more modern automatics.

My learning experience was miserable but after learning in that old crappy wagon I can drive just about anything now. Once you have parked a car without power steering any other parking you have to do in a modern car feels like a complete non issue.

I know it's tongue in cheek, but there's something to it. The browsers themselves became fast enough that now the hardware often becomes the bottleneck, making the web browsing an absolutely awful experience on weaker devices, because, indeed, there are 20% more ads and 30% more trackers.

There's no real reason for not being able to comfortably browse the Web on my Nokia N900 with JavaScript enabled, yet it's almost impossible these days.

This is pure conjecture. You cannot control how traffic behaves, and if you constantly let people go in front of you, people behind you will get irrationally angry (danger exposure).

Yeah you can smooth things out and inject a bit more zen into your experience by accelerating and decelerating more gently and leaving a larger than normal gap, but stop&go simply exists and is a pain even with an automatic.

Adaptive cruise is a godsend.

What does this has to do with college prices?

I've studied CS 3.5 years for ~550€ per year (around $700). This includes free public transportation, but excludes an apartment.

In Germany, you can get a gov. funded student loan which can go up to ~750€ per Month. You have to pay back only the half of that. The 750€/Month is the highest amount that you can get. But you get it only if you have to pay the health insurance yourself, which is ~90€/Month. Otherwise, the maximum amount ~650€/Month. What you can get depends on the income of your parents. If your parents earn a lot of money, you get less.

What you have to pay back is capped to 10000€ in total, free of interest. So if you get more than 20000€ in total, you still have to pay back only 10000€. You even get a discount on that if you pay back early.
If you are taking this loan, your maximum debt is 10000€ (to be repaid only after the receiver exceeds a certain income level after graduation).

You don't get it forever, though. It is limited to 3-5 years, depending on what you study.

Driving is one of those things that most of us probably have no clue how everyone else actually thinks about and does it.

To that end, I just don't know. I expect I will have an issue teaching my children. Biking has already thrown me some curve balls. Nothing insurmountable. But the more you have on the bike, the harder it is for the learner to get it going.

I mean, I hate biking without my shoes that attach to the pedal nowdays. I would not at all attempt to teach my kids on such a bike for a while.

I don't have anything here. I sort of wonder if we misunderstand the problem and combine wifi noise/size with 4G noise/size issues. There are times I think bursty RF signals with big packets might be better than pessimal small packets in chains. At one level, the quoted 5Ghz wifi speeds have to be taken with a pinch of salt, if what you say is true.
I can drive a stick. I borrowed my sister's car for 3 months and drove it on occasion at other times.

I define stop and go traffic as when I'm in 0-15mph traffic during rush hour on the Interstate.

If I leave a large enough gap so that I don't constantly have to press the clutch from stalling then someone else will move in front of me and then I have to hit the brakes as well.

No thanks. Automatic for me.
