> Because if it is a public state university then the in-state tuition rates are subsidized by the state. The state legislature can also adjust these rates, set caps or minimums for in-state students, and enforce other rules as they see fit -- they're paying the bills, after all.

GP's claim was that it is all recruiting is in the name of the diversity of the student body and future student demographics. That's trivially observably false.

Colleges and universities are concentrating their recruitment offers on the most profitable students, which are the international and out of state students because for every non-state student they get to charge more money.

That's why the TX university is interested in recruiting AZ students, rather than TX students: student with the same demographic from AZ will bring more revenue to TX university vs the TX student.
Splitting up the "wire service" from the "Internet service" would be another way of dealing with the issue. Regulate the wires (making it so any ISP could start up and use the wires). Then the market could differentiate on things like net-neutrality - _as long as_ there continued to be competition.

I know Trello has checklists but they are hidden away in the cards. We're working on something in this area for our startup https://zaro.io. Here's a wireframe of how we plan to approach subtasks (so it feels like checklists).

Each subtask is a full task so can be assigned, have deadlines if necessary, or just keep it simple.

As most readers have surmised, this is indeed a fallacious grasp for some reason to think the human beings are metaphysically special.

See also yters' post https://mindmatters.today/2018/09/meaningful-information-vs-...

The argument presented relies on the idea that humans can create 'mutual information' about the world which has been shown to be impossible.

However, the relies on assuming that we actually create mutual information. Instead, consider the fact that Bayesian processes with enough observations can approximate mutual information arbitrarily well. Now it seems that Yters' entire argument falls apart because the most reasonable explaination for how the human brain operates come down to Bayesian processes.

Does it sound more reasonable to you that the human brain is a magical 'partial halting oracle' violating the very laws of physics, or that the human brain uses Bayesian reasoning to build up predictions about the world which are only well founded statistically?

Decoding How Brain Circuits Control Behavior
I've read your source and it doesn't point to any single behaviour being government by any single brain structure.

This shouldn't be a difficult ask.

The only hard and fast link there is one where they knock off genes in female mice and get them to act more like male mice.

This is specifically not what I asked proof for.

This whole debate smacks of phrenology to me. The last 100 years in philosophy have taught us that any Turing machine can act like any other with at most a quadratic reduction in speed. It is unfortunate that neuroscience is still stuck in a 19th century mode of thinking where we mistake form for function with all the terrible results of the 20th century to show for it.

If the brain isn't a Turing machine and people aren't capable of running any software in their head they so chose we are in a very uncomfortable place where we need to start looking at eugenics seriously again. A place I definitely do not want to be in.
Well, I'm happy to walk you through it if you're game. Let's say the company is an incompetent idiot: that also means they're unlikely to respond well to a well-written vuln report. So what protects the general public the most? The bad guys can find vulns too, and you have no idea if you're the first to find a vulnerability, and we're presupposing the company won't handle it well. The _best outcome_ for the general public is full, immediate, public disclosure in that case!

There are other arguments here, like the fact that random people putting bugs in websites are not entitled to a researcher's time.
> All the other times' science believes the climate changed because of sun intensity.

False. Lots of past climate changes were due to changes on Earth and its atmosphere (and sometimes, specifically, life on Earth), not changes in solar output (e.g., notably, the Huronian glaciation believed to have resulted from the Great Oxygenation Event, which resulted from the exponential growth of photosynthetic life.)

A lot of the current complexity relates to the fact these are experiments not production systems. We want to be able to change a great deal of different things with high precision while gathering data, not simply generate power.

Production systems would likely have much higher gas contamination for example and operate at a steady state for months.

Also, ITER is actually rather small from a power production standpoint, 500MW thermal power ~= 150MW of electricity where we have plenty of fusion reactors several times that size. Luckily things get much easier when you scale fusion power.

Wow. Stunning.
I suppose that I think of holding values and knowing facts to be non-overlapping magisteria (qv Gould). In a reasonable person, facts will inform values, but values don't need to be (and cannot always be) justified by facts. You and I may have the exactly the same set of facts and nevertheless draw different conclusions.

Belief in something as a fact, however, does need to be justified by evidence; especially where used to support values.

>> isn't even the scientific method at its core also based on certain beliefs about the world for which there is no empirical basis?

That's a good point. What do we accept as true, a priori, if we only believe that for which there is evidence? After all, while there is a philosophical basis for you to know that you exist, there is no philosophical basis for you to know as a fact that anything else besides you exists. It is a conundrum.

Still, I think we can still acknowledge uncertainty in our beliefs. "I will act in the belief that X is true even though I have incomplete certainty, but will update my behavior and beliefs given new evidence."
That is not even close to what you wrote, in fact there is no way someone would have read your post and thought of it this way.

I'd say a deeper more complex and connected understanding of the world. Truly phenomenal authors were masters of framing so many things I thought of strictly in objective terms in a more subjective light. You begin to realize how the world is filled with very shallow thoughts and ideas. You can really only come to that realization after digesting long form arguments and narratives.
It's kind of not the point - there are levels of security we accept because they match the cost / benefit ratio - at least the perceived cost benefit ratio.

thousands (millions?) of people are daily losing money / privacy due to poor "locks" on our digital doors. if millions of people were burgled every day then these poor quality locks would be replaced with hardened steel doors and seven tumbler whatevers.

I think it is the invisibility of the attacks that is mispricing the cost/benefit ratio, and allowing the idea "people won't accept anything better than passwords"

A friend recently lost control of his business email, which lead to someone asking a client to chnage bank routing detail before paying an invoice - police were involved but it's still not clear what's going to happen.

He is not happy with passwords.

Now as these scenarios spread, as attacks cost more money, we will see the perceived cost benefit sweet spot chnage - away from weaker security and towards better solutions - password managers, 2FA, U2F etc.

we will give up our passwords. if the cost not too is too great.

California migration is disproportionate this way. In-migration to CA is high income and high educated vs out-migration is middle to low income and less educated.

Having multiple "HQs" spread across three timezones would be interesting from an operations point of view, since Amazon uses the "follow the sun" model for on call on some teams.
Interesting. I'm certainly not disputing the agism of the industry, but having fewer prospects is not equal to being forced out and I remain skeptical of the "shorter career" - then again, I believe women are discriminated against in both hiring and opportunities, so I can't think the same of age and expect different outcomes. The StackOverflow survey is likely not a great data source, but it's a data source. Also, one must track for a growing industry - if we have notably more developers now than 20 years ago, of COURSE they will be younger (and drag down the average age).

The data has lots of issues, but I'm forced to conclude that....yeah, agism likely reduces the average length of careers in coding.
And not only extremely complex, but also very large. Fusion reactors have terrible power density compared to fission reactors. Complex + large = very expensive.

These failings have been known for 35 years or more, and yet still they're largely ignored. If there is a thing called "pathological technology" (in analogy with pathological science) then fusion must qualify.
I wish I could actually learn to read... I mean faster than average (I read more slow than average actually) while still getting everything.
There’s a certain amount of irony (iron-y?) that heavy fissionable materials are formed when fusion stalls: the core of a large star is turned into iron, fusion “goes out”, then the star collapses and goes supernova. Heavier elements are formed in the “bounce” when the outer layers of the star crush down the suddenly cold(er) core, converting the kinetic energy into reactions that absorb energy by fusing heavy elements.

Or something along that line, anyway.

No, Dendrites are far more complex than bits. They have multiple chemical pathways and operate in real time.

A you can think of a single dendrite as ~1,000 bits of information though it's hard to say how much of that information is useful as it's rather complex chemical signaling. Which gets into why opioids get people high for example.
The same argument could be made, and often is, that a few private social media companies, hosting services, domain registrars, payment processors etc. hold similar monopoly status, for different reasons.

And it's no more easy to start any of those on your own than it is to start your own ISP. Sure the barrier to entry to make your own website at some random domain is pretty low, but that's more akin to setting up a wireless router to provide internet to your roommates and calling it an ISP than it is to making something with any sort of significant penetration, load handling capability, and financial sustainability.

There's a very long history of industries considered so vital to other kinds of commerce that they can be classified as "common carriers" that are not allowed to discriminate against what things to transport.

These are known as common carriers. Here's a short list:

Every domestic passenger airline
Every domestic freight carrying airline
Busses
Ferries
Cabs
Lyft
Uber
FedEx
UPS
USPS
Passenger Railroads
Freight Rail Service
Many oil pipelines
Even roller coasters
Landlines
Mobile phone service

Applying Title II of the Communications Act to broadband service, which applies common carrier obligations and privileges (e.g. you can't get sued for what you carry) isn't a violation of Verizon's free speech rights and ruling so isn't conservative at all.

This thing already feels like a boondoggle and it hasn't even officially happened.
Not being production systems means entire subsystems are omitted. No tritium breeding blankets, no robotic maintenance systems, not extremely high efficiency tritium purification and recovery systems. Research reactors don't need the materials that could withstand the extreme neutron loading a production reactor would be exposed to. And they don't need to be reliable enough to operate with a high enough capacity factor to pay off the investment, as a production reactor would have to.

As you scale up the power of a fusion reactor, the volumetric power density goes DOWN. This is because it becomes limited by the power/area through the first wall. Square/cube law in action.

I think you do misunderstand, though in a way which is common when people forget (or never knew) the context in which it was adopted. Prior to CDA 230 (and still, in other media not subject to the CDA 230 safe harbor) exercising editorial control was what differentiates between a distributor who has notice-based liability for various unlawful content (meaning, roughly, they are responsible if they know about it and do nothing), and a publisher who has strict liability (and is therefore liable even if they don't know about it.)

In the debate leading to the adoption of CDA 230 the fact that this situation discouraged hosts from making best-effort attempts to eliminate unwelcome, including unlawful, content for fear of triggering strict liability was raised, and the desire to enable this kind of best-effort elimination of “objectionable and inappropriate” content is an explicitly-stated policy goal in Section 230(b).

Th actual safe harbor provision, Sec 230(c) is titled Protection for “Good Samaritan” blocking and screening of offensive material.

The idea that it isn't to enable to the host to affirmatively take action to prevent relaying content that might be offensive is...not well supported.
