I would suggest, that of you can obtain a college education with less than 30-40k in loans (ideally no more than 20k), its probably a fair value still. What the degree is in, is also a compounding factor - but almost any degree with some commercial or governmental value will make paying back 20k pretty easy.

The issue is, its very hard to get a four year degree for that cost.
Portugal decriminalized all drugs a few years ago, with tremendous success from a health and crime perspective. Decriminalization and state-sponsored addiction programs were key in controlling a drug epidemic there.

It would be a solution for the current American opioid crisis, but implementing such measures there would be political suicide.
I'd disagree here; I still think it's quite elegant. For example, in python, it would look something like

from itertools import combinations
magic_square = [2,7,6,
9,5,1,
4,3,8]
def did_user_win(moves):
# Convert moves to magic square values
magic_values = [magic_square[move] for move in moves]
# Check if any sum of three moves equals 15
for three_values in combinations(magic_values,3):
if sum(three_values) == 15: return True
return False

It has, apparently, been going on for a couple of decades now. As you correctly point out, this constitutes many insect generations. If this were simple case of letting pre-existing genetic variations that are robust to temperature get selected for, we would be seeing populations rebound.

And it seems most of the other factors, besides climate, have been accounted for. The losses here are in large nature preserves, where insecticides and herbicides are not used. And in the case of Puerto Rico, at least, pesticide use island-wide has dropped dramatically since the 1960s. So one would not expect the results of pesticide use on insect populations to only be manifesting themselves now. Other than climate, most other factors seem to have changed in the insects' favor. Yes, neonicotinoids are an issue, but a relatively local one. One would not expect them to be an issue deep inside a Puerto Rican rainforest nature preserve.

> Why are students STILL getting fooled by this?

Some are 17-18 year old kids when they make the decision, with parents who don't even know better. Others are older but don't have the critical thinking skills that you and I have, or even a high school diploma. They're desperate to get out of awful minimum wage jobs and make something for themselves, but don't have many successful peers who can give them good advice. The schools have aggressive salespeople who lie through their teeth about outcomes.

It's crazy that we give people 5, 6 figures of loans when they aren't even mature enough to plan a few years in the future. If they don't get a career out of it, we're punishing them for decades for someone else taking advantage of them.

It's easy to blame people for this, but if I had no opportunities and no education, I could see myself taking a risk in the hopes that things will work out and I'd improve my life. The schools themselves are the ones who know better and are milking people for all they're worth. We should be stopping them from doing this, and the previous administration took good steps towards this.

there's multiple ways to make tunnels in ssh. -L is one of them (local forwarding). basically, local, remote and dynamic forwarding are possible. there's some interesting uses for the latter 2 as well so if you only know -L it might be nice to check out the other methods and how you can use those. You can for example, forward a remote localhost port of a server to your own localhost, and then have a fully encrypted channel to some internal or locally bound service. for example if some server hosts a site on it's loopback or some service is listening there which you want to interact with, then you can do it directly from your own machine instead of through an active ssh session. (for example with websites this is useful, because then you can have a graphical browser instead of links via ssh x11 forwarding or w/e)

The main reasons to get a degree are:

-. To show you can complete a big, multi year project that’s full of doing stuff you don’t like

-. To get past HR screenings

-. If you ever want a chance to reach Executive level jobs, you need to have a degree, for the perception of nothing else.

This debate has been going on for a long time, despite this being presented as a recent thing, and it always comes down to those things. While the tech-minded here might want to see it from a strictly educational standpoint, these are human/societal reasons that are quite important.

That's fair enough, the point I tried to make is: Statistically, we would expect our solar system to be average among solar systems that can support intelligent life, not among all solar systems (following the Anthropic Principle). Therefore, the difference we see between our solar system and the average star system might imply something about what kind of conditions make intelligent life more probable in a star system.

If we see that in all star systems we know that evolved intelligent life (even if there's only 1 we know of) there is a large Jupiter-like planet, and that's very atypical among star systems, that suggests that Jupiter might have increased the probability that intelligent life evolved here.
For AT&T, that restriction is only on dial-up accounts:

> with respect to dial-up accounts, using any software or device designed to defeat system time-out limits or to allow Customer's account to stay logged on while Customer is not actively using the IP Services or using such account for the purpose of operating a server of any type;

AFAIK, AT&T does not prohibit running a server on broadband accounts.

What's being done by Helm is not much different than using Back to my Mac or Plex or SlingTV.

In any case, these ToS are over-broad and most customers probably violate them every day, especially the copyright provisions. The ToS are not enforced to the letter but allow the ISP to terminate an account if the violations are egregious. I don't think running a Helm server would get you booted.

This is pretty selfish but every time I see news about student loans I start to worry about having to pay for other people's student loans.

I spent three years cutting everything out of my life that wasn't necessary so that I could pay off my $50,000 in loans because I didn't want to have the debt. It was a Spartan existence indeed.

Now that I've made that sacrifice and come out the other side, it makes me mad to think that I may have to pay for others to pay off their debts as well. Why can't they pay it off themselves? No one forced them to take on the loans. Why is my paycheck being considered for looting?

I would feel taken advantage of too. If I knew I could get someone else to pay off my student loans, I would have used my resources much differently. I would have lived more in the moment instead of hunkering down and paying it off.

Like I said; selfish thoughts. But I can't help but feel a sense of injustice when considering a situation where I have to pay for other debtors student loans.

Those type of controls are a big contributor to the health care price crisis.

I’d suggest going back to the 90s model of having rate capped subsidized and partially subsidized loans, and eliminating the bankruptcy exclusion for student debt outside of that framework. If the law makes a debt non-dischargable, the risk premium should be very low.

The problem is that reducing the firehose of capital would drive many universities out of business. They have 30 year bonds for luxury dorms and fitness centers to pay off.

It depends on whom you send to. Like ironically I sent an abuse complaint to Verizon for a spammer and got rejected because they blocked all of Digital Ocean's IP space. Yahoo was particularly difficult too sending me a response saying they won't take my mail immediately on a single email to my brother. I had to go through a lot to get that fixed. Again this was due to being on cloud provider IP space.

GMail is more reasonable with perhaps being spam filtered but never blocked outright. I have also been blocked by government labs and academic institutions. I also have complied with RDNS, DKIM, SPF and got a top score on mx toolbox. Now that I have been up for a while I have had less issues besides with the ones that block cloud provider spaces.
In all honestly, I went to a school of minor prestige (not ivy, but similar echelon in my field) and I have had a lot of opportunities come my way based on that. Not through alumni networking or word of mouth, just name checking the school and program has opened quite a few doors for me in my career.

That being said, I don’t think the college experience itself made me uniquely better or more prepared than my peers... and in reality a lot of my peers who’ve skipped college all-together were perhaps MORE prepared for “real work” than me. All tallied up, I agree that I’d like a future where college isn’t a requirement like it seemed to be for me.

You are singling out for-profit colleges, which to me does not make sense. I am not sure I agree -- out of state sticker prices at good public universities are not much different from private ones. And in-state costs are not far behind (and it is not just tuition, add books and living expenses).

Most schools, public and private, moved to the model of charging as much as the family can afford (i.e., putting a huge sticker price and refunding the "unaffordable" portion for each family via a much-touted scholarship).
The article's (actual, on the site) headline is pretty much wrong, though it seems very few people understood the arrangement Google was announcing. Yes, Google Apps now has a "license fee", but OEMs can get a "financial incentive" for preloading Search and Chrome.

People aren't being made to leave but a lot of them are leaving because it's too much hassle to stay. They have to pay money to get a visa to stay and so they are saying they will leave instead as too much hassle. This is the general viewpoint of EU workers in general.

My plan for my (13-year old) daughter is community college, then a state school for a four year degree, which I should have enough savings for. But, more important than the amount of debt, is which major, which is the great elephant in the room. There is a huge investment in degree programs that don't increase your salary, and this fact is routinely buried by doing the analysis on all majors combined. For some majors, taking out loans to get a degree is still a good deal, and for others it clearly is not. It's like asking if a mortgage is a good idea in order to buy a house, without reference to where the house is and what shape it's in.

> Afaik, YC is the only seed funder-startup accelerator in the world, among thousands of other ones, that has given birth to companies worth $1 billion ore more.

Seedcamp (London) has backed 3 unicorns: Revolut [$1.7B], UiPath [$3B], and TransferWise [$1.6B], and that's just a venture firm I know off the top of my head. While these days they're closer to a first-round fund (with a similar economic deal to YC) than an accelerator, most of those were from back when they were operating in a proper accelerator model.

I suspect there are probably a few other accelerators around the world that have unicorns in their portfolio - you just don't hear about them because they're not local.

This could be very nice; something that I've often found clunky when building a prototype is the amount of infrastructure required to get a more full-featured task queue up and running (say Celery or RQ). You can always just run an event loop, but then you have to reinvent a lot of the nice delay/scheduling machinery.
Being "green" is not enough. You also have to be a conscious consumer of electricity.

After observing a few generations of these businesses you realize that their shareholders prioritize large, gradually declining revenue streams over new opportunities.

TI-BASIC was the first language myself and a few colleagues learned, by automating our algebra homework.
Extremely simple one, but my favorite is an algorithm for determining if two words are anagrams of each other:

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic states: "every integer greater than 1 either is a prime number itself or can be represented as the product of prime numbers and that, moreover, this representation is unique, up to (except for) the order of the factors."[1]

So to determine that two words are anagrams of each other, you can assign each letter to a unique prime number (a = 2, b = 3, c = 5 etc.), then compute the product of those numbers, and if they're equal then those two words are anagrams.
