The Fed guarantee is basically an enforced tax on the student’s earnings until the debt is repayed. Dischargeable only if dead or disabled. This is to make up for states cutting educational budgets for colleges and universities. It’s a progressive tax too where students at higher cost schools (that typically lead to higher incomes) pay more. It sucks for drop outs who can’t make enough to pay the bill but in those cases income dependent payment plans are supposed to help alleviate the pain. The Feds could regulate this by taking back money from schools whose graduates underperform or are whose programs are outright scams etc.. so the government subsidizing the loans is not the problem. The feds could even regulate tuition increases retroactively. It also exempts scholarships and the rich who are otherwise funded. So instead of a state or fed tax on the 1% to fund higher ed, you just guarantee payments from the students.

Maybe it's time technologists stopped assuming they're the cleverest persons in the room and rectified their ignorance of law and economics before assuming they're in the right about everything. I'm not a fan of onerous copyright legislation but simply asserting that 'information wants to be free' is stating an opinion, not some scientific law. Hackers and developers are just as subject to the Dunning-Kreuger effect as anyone else.
Great native ad.

OT, but I absolutely hate the Page Visibility API for this reason. There are sites out there that will pause ads if you switch to another tab or bring up another window in front of your browser. It's stupidly annoying and, at a minimum, should require user permission much like geolocation or notifications.
> 80% of radio stations in the U.S. are owned by one company(iHeartMedia, formerly ClearChannel)

They own the most, but it's not 80% (perhaps they cover 80% of listening markets). They own about 850 stations[1] out of roughly 10,000 commercial stations[2]. However, your point does stand as the second largest owner, Cumulus Media at 455 stations also filed for bankruptcy[3].

In South Wales of the UK, we were forbidden from speaking Welsh (I should note that the southern dialect is different from the northern, and vice-versa). Any child that spoke Welsh in school would have a thick and heavy board attached to their neck, to wear in shame (The "Welsh Knot"[1]). It was forbidden across the board, and gradually died out.

So, we slowly forgot our own language (the other parts of the country that were not dominated by the English to such a degree, actually look down on us a little bit, because we do not speak Welsh as our main dialect...).

Recently due to pushes from the government, more and more children are growing up and learning welsh, and it's now at the point that most jobs in wales are successfully requiring Welsh-speakers as part of their hiring.

It's completely possible to resurrect a dead language with native language speakers still in existence, it's faster than killing the language (It took 300 years to completely eradicate Welsh and only about 50 years of government efforts to resurrect it), it just requires the collective will to be there, and the wish to restore the culture (or some bastardized idealized version of it).

Given Lua's age and use in so many projects, I was under the impression that it was somewhat stable.

Basically, my interest in Lua is this: I'd like to build a personal computing environment that is oriented towards end-user empowerment the way I remember them being in the pre-web era. To that end, employing a relatively simple interpreted language to build as much of the environment as possible is desired such that the end user is able to read and modify large portions of it, as well as create their own tools. Something on the level of Visual Basic or HyperCard would be useful for the GUI portions, and Lua is popular enough to have a lot of learning resources available, so it was an option I was considering.
Oh it’s special, you can’t possibly make Pedialyte at home without a laba- we’ll really it’s piss easy. Sugar, salt, water and... that’s it. If you want get fancy and include the classic flavors and colors, add powdered drink mix to taste or juice.

That’s literally it.

The ratio is 4 cups of water (make three cold and one hot, mix the sugar and salt into the hot water then mix it all together.)

2 tablespoons of sugar

1/2 teaspoon of salt

Optionals:

1/2 teaspoon baking soda for upset stomach

1 teaspoon Kool Aid or Jello Powder.

The end.

Oh, and it won’t cure a hangover, nothing does. Dehydration is part of a hangover, but by the time you have the hangover the damage is done. Other factors are metabolic stress from your liver handling the alcohol and metabolic intermediaries, congeners, and vascular reactions. Drinking water and eating normal food will keep a hangover from being worse than it has to be, but there is no cure. There are things you can do to prevent aspects of it, such as drinking at least a unit of water per unit of alcohol while you’re drinking, avoiding sugar (competes with alcohol for metabolism), and avoiding darker liquids (which have more congeners). If you’re pre-med hanging a banana bag helps, but it’s not really then responsible thing for most to do.

In short, once you’re hungover, only time will help.
Why even have laws then, just let the regulators decide who gets punished for everything.
And you can pick a bottle up from a Walgreens with no effort. You’re not paying for the ingredients per se, but the convenience.

If I’m buying Pedialyte, I’m in no condition to make it. I just want to hydrate and go back to feeling like death on a horizontal surface.

There can, you'd have to write it yourself.

> If a given lambda can capture via a single frame pointer (because it borrows everything), why can't that frame pointer just be stored directly in the `data` field?

If there's a single thing it's borrowing, then yes, it could. If there's any more than one, it won't fit.

> Or are you saying that lambdas that borrow everything aren't actually all that common?

I'm saying that closures that borrow exactly one thing aren't actually all that common.
The Linux thread scheduler already knows how to do this, which is why ARM's big.LITTLE architecture works fine in Android phones.

There's zero reason MS couldn't implement this in Windows. In fact, it might already be done giving HP and others are currently shipping Windows on Snapdragon devices.
There are also process generations within the same process "size". Intel has 14mm, 14nm+, 14nm++, and now 10nm (the limited # of 10nm skus released so far is because of all the 10nm problems) and 10nm+. I thought I read somewhere that while 10nm+ was originally intended for Ice Lake and beyond, they're considering moving some 10nm products to 10nm+ early because the original 10nm process yields are so awful.
I think they must've divested some either in the bankruptcy or a previous restructuring, because the figure I saw was about 1250 stations. I'd bet that the 10,000 total stations also includes a bunch of mom & pop or college radio operations as well; maybe the statistic was for 80% of audience share rather than number of stations.
> Gmail takes a traditional approach to email management. Messages come in, you read them, maybe organize them with labels, then archive them, delete them, or just leave them in your inbox forever.

Not that long ago, gmail was a radically new way to deal with email.

1) aggregating emails from a single conversation in your inbox - yes, on the old days, every incoming email was a line in your inbox.

2) providing archive functionality - no need to organise and file your old emails, just click archive and use the search later if you find you'll need them

> What's not transparent with banking?

From what I gather in the US issues are e.g. weird shit banks do when processing checks and other payments, e.g. reordering transactions to generate unneccessary overdraft fees.

In Germany we for example long had the problem that ATMs of banks not in your network (e.g. when using a Deutsche Bank ATM with a Sparkasse card) were not required to show the fees associated with withdrawing cash. IIRC it needed EU regulation to finally fix this.
> It's just that dividends reduce the price of the stock directly

Dividends reduce the price of the stock directly because there is an active market. Once the dividend is paid out, the stock price is decreased by the dividend because this is what market makers are willing to pay now.

Without any active market, paying out a dividend would not influence the price, because there are no market makers to begin with.

This is of course absurd, so there will always be an active market.

What I've read is that whereas Western academics and scientists are paid by salary or grant, Chinese scientists are paid substantially by number of papers published. So $500 for a paper in a top-tier journal, etc.

Thus scientific papers provide indirect benefits in the West, but direct benefits in China - encouraging the "paper mill."

I'm not exactly an expert. This is just speculation and I would love to be corrected if I'm wrong.

I'd guess that the ratio of CPU power to display power is much higher in a phone (whose displays are small).

If the Intel cores are idle anyway then their power consumption is probably so much less than the huge laptop display that it doesn't make a lot of sense to optimize further.

> There are no restrictions on what states can do relative to cities.

Just because the restrictions on this are not in the federal Constitution doesn't mean they don't exist; just as the federal Constitution has rules on State-Federal power balance, State constitutions often have rules on State-local power balance.

State Constitutions are usually procedurally easier to amend than the federal one, though, so, the barriers, though real, are smaller.

I'm not blind, and hate it for the same reason. I could see implementing a code snippet service (ala gist) with Twitter Cards API support. The card image would likewise be useless to folks with vision impairment, and useless to everyone for cut and paste.

The problem is it is highly subjective.

"Parliament’s text also strengthens the negotiating rights of authors and performers, by enabling them to “claim” additional remuneration from the party exploiting their rights when the remuneration originally agreed is “disproportionately” low compared to the benefits derived."

"The text adds that these benefits should include “indirect revenues”. It would also empower authors and performers to revoke or terminate the exclusivity of an exploitation licence for their work if the party holding the exploitation rights is deemed not to be exercising this right."

Cooling is a factor of energy input. If they can cool the A11 using 40% more power, they can cool an A12 using the same power.

I'm not sure about that. The US still consumes a lot more than it produces. It might be the largest oil producer by a little, but it is the largest oil consumer by a lot. Looks like, net of exports, US production needs to rise several million barrels a day more to be really capable of meeting its own supply. Unless you are thinking of other Western countries that have enough surplus to cover the difference for the rest?

0 (and everything but nil and false) is truthy is also pretty common in the Lisp world.

Side note: I actually find it ironic that Python of all languages does this implicit falseness thing on so many types, given that it puts "explicit is better than implicit" on its banner. I don't see the difference between treating an empty list as false when the context requires a Boolean value, and treating string '0' as numeric 0 when the context requires a numeric value.

And it can be a source of bugs - while there are many cases where an empty list and None are semantically equivalent, that's not always true. And it can be something that's very easy to forget when reading code that is broken that way (e.g. during code reviews). I'd much rather have functions like `is_none_or_empty`, `is_none_or_zero` etc that make it clear what the check is actually doing.

> Go look it up.

I did. I found definitions that agree and disagree with both readings.

So let me put it another way. People use "censorship" because they see a subversion of a moral duty by someone to tolerate speech they would rather not tolerate.

But when you do that, you infringe their rights to not listen and to reject speech by negating it. I don't have to tolerate someone in my home saying words I disagree with. I have a right to eject them. Is that censorship? And if, by ejecting them, I have stated a political opinion, isn't preventing my expression also censorship?

The counterargument is: oh, but reddit is somehow a public thing, they have some sort of social obligation. Your private home is different.

Why? According to whom? Under what legal, constitutional or moral authority? In many countries the government is constrained or prevented from regulating some or all speech because, in the final analysis, there is nowhere else a citizen can go.

But private speech is about private property. If reddit exercise their right to eject people they don't want on their property, the ejected folks are within their rights to do anything they want with their property.
The DA cannot do that AFAIK, unless the law changes.

Just for reference (and thanks for remembering the guideline about not editorializing—if only everyone would!) it's ok to edit a title to make it less misleading. That would be the guideline behind adding "insider build" in this case. When editing like that, it's best to use representative language from the article itself. We're good on that here too, since "insider build" appears in the first paragraph.

I don't actually know what an insider build is, btw.
