The layered approach gives benefits when the lower-layer protocols provide features to the upper-layer ones. We should have some security at a lower level so the upper levels can relax. But encryption was bolted onto everything after the fact, so it's a special case that doesn't translate to layering until you get into network tunnels.

DNS is also weird because it's used by all these other protocols not as a layer, but as an external resource. It's like if an HTTPS server needed records from an SQL server, and rather than secure the SQL connection, you put the SQL inside HTTPS. I mean... sure, I can run an HTTPS server on the SQL server, add some extensions to the protocol, and request records that way. But that's layer-7-in-layer-7. That's not layering, that's... weird smooshing and stacking and munging. It's not the kind of layering the internet was designed for.

I think we should've widely adopted layer 4 secure transport protocols a long time ago. You wouldn't need to do anything other than add or change some arguments to your existing IPC syscalls. Decentralized protocols are more complicated, but could be adapted without much trouble.

Or, we can do it in a manner similar to aviation. State and local governments have no say. FAA rules govern aviation, with preemption making sure those rules are not complicated by local authorities. Our helicopters cover a huge area during normal operations. During cross-country transfers to things like airshows they operate across the entire continent. Local, even state, rules won't be welcome. It all has to come from the FAA.
Why: No available home offered the amenities that I wanted. Home architecture seems to focus on increasingly elaborate variations on the 3 bedroom 2 bath conventional home at higher and higher densities.

How: After designing a home following "A Pattern language" by Christopher Alexander and taking a course in owner-built homes multiple times, I got a construction loan at an exorbitant rate from private money (brokered by a specialist in private money). Then, I served as my own general contractor using conventional project management methods. Once the house was finished, it was easy to get a conventional home mortgage.
I see you have experience in the field, we noticed exactly the same pain points as you did!

But we noticed that utilities are now getting more and more challenged on different fronts, so many of them are opening to new technologies as a way to improve their operational efficiency.
That's an awesome pick for an intersection between several different fields. For an added challenge: run the drones from ships to inspect off-shore installations, and possibly to expand into oil rig and crane inspections.

And once you say nanoparticle stabilized emulsion, there's a plethora of everyday examples of air-water emulsions: shaving foam, whipped egg whites, aquafaba etc. Main difference here is that unlike e.g. proteins from egg white, the nano-silica particles do not stick to each other.

I'm nitpicking, but yes sometimes you do have to code under pressure. Yes it can result in bad code but it can also save millions of dollars as production lines are allowed to run, ecommerce is allowed to happen, or important contractual obligations are met.

That said, you generally do not write that code on a whiteboard with no access to the internet.

It sounds like you just interviewed with a dick. That happens.

I love the idea, but this really doesn't dispute the central point. Iceland is an economy with a $24B GDP that is smaller than Vermont's, the lowest US state. The claim is that letting large US banks fail is a systemic risk that causes cascading failure. Using Iceland as an example doesn't dispute that point.
Even if you apply 50% of that cost towards food, that's still around $830/mo rent for a shared room in Davis, California.

So... "discovered" or "invented"?

FWIW, I think the point turns on one's metaphysics. Is there some Platonic realm where e.g. each of the "Turing Drawings" ( https://maximecb.github.io/Turing-Drawings/ ) has always existed, just waiting to be discovered? Or did Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert invent them? All of them? What is the ontological status of the vast set of TDs that have never (yet) been seen by any eye, or that have never been run on any real machine?

Oh I have a good story about that! Healthcare software is rife with these sorts of things.

We had a potential client come in saying they had the toughest requirements; terabytes of data would be collected, we'll need PhD data scientists to write very complex algorithms, huge servers to handle the incredible load and uptime needed, full suite of mobile and desktop apps, blah blah blah.

We analyze his requirements a bit and it turns out he needs actually just needs a survey with 5 questions, none of which collected personal information. And he treats 20 patients a year. We call him in, set him up a Google Form in front of him, and sent him on his way. Probably saved the Canadian healthcare system millions on that one.

Looking back on this experience, I think some people are incredibly ego-driven, so the prospect of doing something off-the-shelf or for free doesn't enter their conscience.

Your jerk tolerance is higher than mine. I really really don't like to work with people like that.

SQL is a terrible example of a standard. Half the major databases that support the "standard" can't even agree with each other on what the syntax is to window the number of returned results.

SQLite is partly so battle tested simply because once you start down the path of relying on it, it becomes tough to shift to another SQL "standard" database, because of tiny differences in dialect, and sometimes huge differences in performance characteristics.

MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL are also, open source, battle tested pieces of software. Why would a browser stop at SQLite and not allow developers the power of an equally tuned, "full" SQL database, with additional power/capabilities/storage management capabilities? Would a browser have to reimplement SQLite's dialect on top of it to support that as an option? Would a browser need to implement SQLite bugs on top of PostgreSQL? Would you want to write a website that does feature checking to see if WebSQL is backed by SQLite or MariaDB on the user's machine and adjust its SQL queries for the different query engines?

Meanwhile, you can look at Redis, Cassandra, Riak, BigTable, etc: we have the technology to build really scalable key/value stores that can scale and perform incredibly well. We also have the knowledge of building higher level APIs on top of that and getting those to scale and perform well. IndexedDB's slow period was a brief adjustment period, and benchmarks indicate that calling it "slow" or "feeble" today isn't accurate. We're certainly on the path where IndexedDB's performance is only steadily improving, and again, we have the technology to insure that it can scale and perform extremely well given the investment.

IndexedDB is a more than adequate compromise to the tar pit that is decades of weirdly incompatible SQL dialects and database engines, and to the security nightmare implications that if there was a 0-day bug found in SQLite code you could take down every browser on the web with it had SQLite been blessed to be such a "standard" that every browser just integrated it directly.

Most of the other points in comments here are valid (or potentially so), but one thing I've not seen mentioned is the decrease in govt funding of public colleges and university. When I attended college 20 years ago (Penn State)I remember seeing graphs showing how decreased state funding matched tuition hikes pretty well. A quick google search turned up https://budgetandpolicy.org/schmudget/cuts-to-higher-educati... which shows the same sort of graph, even if it doesn't go back as far and isn't quite the same axis.

The test lost its validity over time, but how many people care about their craft enough to know how to write software without using a library, and be willing to reason about it from first principles?

I had a similar experience with a Google phone interview once.

The interviewer asked me about a technology I knew almost nothing about, and I told him right off the bat that I didn't know much about it but I would explain what little I did know.

But then he spent the next 20 minutes asking me more questions about it, how I'd use it, how it could be implemented, etc.. It was so frustrating I should have just ended the call early.
I've had exactly the same experience.

On the contrary, the problem is too much government subsidy. It’s same as any other price inflation when you inject 100s of millions of dollars into a sector.

If anything the government should stop giving people money and instead open more public schools. That’d increase competition (ie supply) rather than demand and thus lower prices.

Imagine if every private school would have to compete against a well funded and cheap (relatively) public option. That’d have an immediate impact on driving down prices across the board.

Demand side government involvement is always a bad idea. It universally leads to poor outcomes and profit capture by the wrong institutions. Either supply side or no side is my vote.
With unlimited logins, it is indeed vulnerable to timing attacks. You could measure the mean time of a certain email against the mean time of another email. This effectively gets rid of the random delay.

Perhaps you could measure the time of the login process and adjust the random delay based on how long the process has taken. If you can get this to average to a <1ms difference between the "email exists" and "email doesn't exist" you could probably defeat any timing attacks over the network.

That, or just limit retries and have different random timeouts for every login. Now you can't try enough times to get a good estimate of the mean for each login path, and you can't use other logins to help you refine your estimate because each has different timeouts.

TRUE STORY:

I interviewed at Google earlier in my career. In one of the interviews, the interviewer asked me to recite/reconstruct off the top of my head the convex hull algorithm. I remembered the lectures in undergrad algo class where the professor talked about it. I remembered where in CLRS it was covered. I remembered the general outline (efficient algorithms are O(n log n), because you have to sort the points as one of the steps). But I was struggling to remember the details, because, you know, I hadn't worked on that sort of thing in several _years_.

So, the interviewer started pacing around the room, impatient that I couldn't remember the details (or recite in 10 minutes what it took a professor with notes 2 lectures to go through). He told me finally "We expect Google engineers to be able to solve problems. What if you were a Google engineer, and you had to solve this problem, what would you do?"

There is, of course, only one right answer to that question, which I provided: "I would look it up in a book. I know exactly where to find it." I wouldn't spend time trying to reinvent an algorithm that someone else had already thought of.

The interviewer did not like that answer. I did not get a job offer. Now that I interview candidates at a different large tech company, I make a point to not get hung up on things that are easily researchable.
Fun fact: people adjust those styles to situations. Also, the variance within gender is high while deference between genders definitely too small to be used as binary where "women are like this and men like that".

Lastly, men have more mental issues including more temper tamptrus caused by being on autistic spectrum, so like, go f yourself with neuroticism.
Hard was being made to feel inferior.

I had an interview experience, where the interviewer was looking for a particular answer. I give him 3 answers to his design issue. Then the interviewer says he was looking for the 2nd answer I gave him, as if I didn't just say it.

It's one thing to reach and fail. It's another thing to be in a context where the truth of what you know doesn't even matter.

It's really not. First of all, the affordable housing market isn't where the housing market was most inflated so the author's entire premise is wrong.

Secondly, the author of that article is pretty clearly shilling to privatize Fannie Mae.

Thirdly, nobody here seems to understand what the community lending standards actually were and just wants to use it as a post to rest their argument on.

This is a much better, though still critical of the CRA article that goes into actual detail on what the problems were: https://www.city-journal.org/html/financial-crisis-and-cra-1...

But it's still an overly reductive and misguided argument. As Noah Smith points out here: https://noahpinionblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/did-risky-mortga...

Late to the discussion, but the alternative to the bailouts was to not bailout, and let the problems unwind. As mortgages were sold at firesale prices to attempt to remain solvent, it would be in the interest of the purchasers to lower the effective rates on the mortgages, because they could still book a profit at the lower rates.

The net effect would have been to cripple most of the national banks to the point where they would have to be liquidated and purchased piecemeal by smaller banks and local credit unions that managed to behave responsibly during the crisis.

The FDIC already exists and has a mandate to draw unlimited funds to make customers whole up to the limits. This is already priced in.

As to what would happen as companies failed to make payroll as their banking arrangements failed, it's likely that there would have been problems along the way, but the existing credit markets, especially short-term consumer credit (i.e. credit cards) would have allowed most households to stay solvent while the banks reorganized around the new reality.

I'm far from convinced that there would have been a depression -- for the most part I believe that it would have self-corrected on an individual or company basis except for the finance sector, which created the crisis in the first place.
Students need to decide if a college degree is worth taking on a massive amount of debt.

Either we have lots of young people making bad decisions, or a college degree is incredibly valuable.

It's not like the terms of student loans are exceptionally great for the students.
I think the actual answer is "because it can"...it's really that simple.

Supply and demand dicate how much colleges can charge students, nothing else. If schools can charge $30k/year, and fill up the classrooms, why wouldn't they?

It's similar to the question "what's my house worth?"...the answer is exactly how much someone is willing to pay for it, nothing more and nothing less. Any real estate agent will tell you the same.

Many factors go into why colleges can charge so much and get away with it. Certainly the price distortions caused by easy-to-get guaranteed student loans is a big driver, but others exist of course.
i thought it was the state dept?
I'm the author of the GitHub repo that Jake references and the reason I stated Alaska totals at the state level is because elections there are administered at the precinct level, which have no county equivalent.

Alaska's "county equivalents", as the U.S. Census calls them, are known as Census Areas, Municipalities, and Boroughs. But again, there are no election data reported at those levels.

I understand that you're angry, but this is several steps beyond "tinfoil hat" territory.
I certainly don't dispute that - it's borderline criminal what the University-sanctioned housing charges - particularly when they stack up to 5 people in a single unit!

However, in my experience, most students live off-campus these days. There's just not enough student housing, and it's a terrible deal anyhow.
Based on different economics. Even the more socialist leaning EU nations aren't dealing with straight up Communism.

China's big problem right now is actually that they brought so many people out of poverty that they're focused on controlling inflation.

Also, they have a state controlled media that reports only what the state wants. Helps smooth over the rough edges with praise of their great and successful system.
