It isn't mandatory, but it certainly helps when you can pay for private tutors or professional consulatants that craft your application package. Students that tend to score high on SATs tend to come from higher income brackets. It also hurts when you attend a school that doesn't offer an expansive list of AP courses, or if you come from a family that never attended college and do not even know what the college process is like.

Edit: To your "This is patently untrue" comment. Taking AP courses and scoring 5s on the exams is pretty standard for applicants getting into elite colleges. By not taking those courses you are huritng yourself when applying to such places.
I'd be more enthusiastic about such requirements if humanities/lib-arts courses actually provided a solid answer to how one should live and what one should want. But they don't. They provide lots of different answers, with no great way to choose between them. Going through a mass of required reading only to reach the conclusion that living for bling+bitches is actually a pretty OK idea doesn't seem like a good use of time.

More citizens mean more cost for the state, aka the thing taxes are supposedly collected for. Amateur here, so I might just missed it, but where did you account for those marginal cost?

I have a hard time believing original residents actually benefit that greatly from those deals as well. Yes there are benefits of getting more people and well paying jobs into the region and some competition to keep taxes reasonable seem fine. But to me this still mostly seems like a transfer of wealth and power to big cooperation, boosting societal problems we already have a hard time dealing with.
A professor of mine mentioned a study by Bell/AT&T from mid 20th century which found that the success of their executives was correlated with how well they did at the school they went to, and less with which school they went to. I took that class in 1988, and the study was already old by then.

This is at best a half truth. Going to these schools helps, but it is not necessary.

There are an abundance of people who are qualified to get into elite universities at less-than-best schools in a given state.

There are three main issues that I see:

1. They self-select out of applying. They know lots of smart people, but they don’t know anyone else who applied, so those elite schools must be impossible to get into.

2. Their teachers/administrators have no idea how to write a strong recommendation for a stellar student. The applicants don’t know how to choose people who can write good recommendations.

3. The applicants don’t know about the small tweaks in their extracurriculars that will make them standout (e.g., demonstrating leadership, vision, etc.), and/or they don’t know how to write about their considerable achievements in a compelling way (e.g., I’ve heard an incredible and incredibly modest person saying that their considerable achievements were not worth discussing on an appication because “Well, what else would you do? Isn’t this just normal?” Answer, no, it was not normal.).

Note also that plenty of the “poor” students have been recruited in one way or another, with athletes probably being the biggest recruiting pool.
I think that for most of us this was our first long-lasting OS.

I remember the flat Windows 3, the boring Win95 and Win98, the minimalist NT4 and Win2000. And then !!!BOOM!!! WinXP with that beautiful desktopn and colorful icons, and I think the overall experience makes us think fondly of that OS.

Also the fact that XP was around for quite a few years, and we 'grew' up with it makes us remember it better.

I will exclude Longhorn/Vista, because although the graphics were improved, the OS made for a horrible UX.

Edit/Addition: nowadays nomatter what Win version I am using, I am stripping it down to a Win2000 look, no aero-crap, no fancy icons, no grouping of icons, etc. Oh and of course I stay away from Win10 :)

We used to throw white collar criminals in jail all the time. Over a thousand bankers were convicted and many jailed during the Savings and Loan crisis of the late 80s. Their harm to the financial system did far more to damage society than weed dealers.

America just doesn’t prosecute and jail white collar criminals anymore, which is why it may seem odd to you that people call for jailing white collar criminals.

For every Martin Shkreli that actually gets prison time, far too many wealthy and powerful people get away with doing great harm to society; if it doesn’t involve blood or drugs, they go home to their families.
Not like this. American Express might have paid marketing "partnerships" but Robinhood is taking it the next level.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires "financial institutions" to give customers the opportunity to opt-out of information sharing with third-parties. GLBA doesn't permit customers to opt-out of information sharing with affiliates. Tucked on the second page of Robinhood's privacy notice[1] (which is curiously absent from their "disclosures" webpage) you'll see they have an affiliate "Chronos Research."

That is a very important clarification and I imagine TypeScript will leverage this new feature.

That said, I still don't like the #. I think that will be the biggest issue with adoption (at least based on feedback on this post). Would the spec have to come up with another symbol if they wanted to implement `protected` behavior?

Alternatively: `this.private.value`, `definitelyNotThis.value`

How did you reach your $60 estimate for debit card interchange revenue?

My rough calculation based on the data here[0] suggests it would be at least 60% lower than that:

$200 x 12 months = $2400 txn value
$2400 / $35 = 69 transactions
69 * $0.35 = $24 interchange fees

What am I missing?

I tend to agree, but I also feel like houses as a financial growth (vs family housing stability) investment is a new thing over the last 25-30 years, exacerbated no doubt by economic policies.

Before that, the only financial rationale I recall for buying a house was as a forced savings vehicle and as freedom from rent variations.

For anyone looking wistfully at the $250k price tag of a VG sub-orbital flight I suggest checking out Zero-G:

https://www.gozerog.com

They fly short (~30sec) sub-orbital parabolas in a regular commercial jet (with a custom interior). It's not quite like going into "space" but it is quite literally only 2% of the cost for (IMHO) >80% of the value. The total amount of zero-G time is about the same as it will be on the VG sub-orbital flight (~5 mins). I've done it and it's an awesome experience.
Not everyone thinks so. See the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.

that the flooding of the next compartment aft, Boiler
Room No. 5, would have been a certainty. Whether
or not the bulkhead held was of no major consequence
in the eventual sinking, or how quickly the ship sank."

The article goes on to show that it's far from clear that the bulkhead did in fact fail, and that it's unlikely that the fire would have been intense enough to damage it significantly.

I think the one plus five buildings create a higher density of retail space than the residential population can support. Even in lively sections of popular Seattle neighborhoods with 90%+ residential occupancy you will see empty retail space in one-plus-fives.

Even Seattle can only support a finite number of coffee shops and the boutiques have to compete with supermarkets, department stores, and online retailers.
While Linux shouldn't be purposely user-hostile if it wants to be used in a desktop computer environment, Linux has a different purpose than emulating Windows. That's why Linux can't really be compared to something like ReactOS. It's purpose (in my opinion) is libre software and configurability options (compared to operating systems such as Windows). To change both of those in the name of proprietary software and/or forced ease of use/non-configurability would alienate the original purpose and fracture the community. That's why systemd/Poetteringware is so controversial (and GRUB2 on a much smaller scale), and the near-universal hatred of systemd among UNIX veterans for its mostly-successful monopolism over init systems (and everything else nobody on a lower-end system would ever run at once) only proves my point. While Linux's reputation as a desktop Unix-like does warrant the need for ease-of-use to truly be considered as that, there is a reason that people use Linux and Windows in different situations and environments.

The fun thing about Virgin Galatic is that they already have all their crew/human support tech working, and have been flying with humans for years.

All they need to do to be the first private company to put a human in space is just choose to burn their rocket a little bit longer than they have already...

SpaceX and Blue Origin totally have the theoretical capability to put a man in space anytime now - Blue Origin has flown dummies to space, and SpaceX could fly a suborbital flight with their current Dragon capsule even if it wasn’t up to NASA human standards.

The biggest issue at this point is just cost vs bragging rights. SpaceX would have to pay so much more than the other two, that I would guess they will just wait to claim the first private orbital man in space crown.
The whole point of putting people to jail is to discourage behavior. This is exactly what it's for.

The stock market is not a zero sum game. I don't know where people get this idea that because every transaction involves two sides, the sum is therefore zero. Every transaction in the "real economy" also has two sides, and we all know that grows. The stock market grows too. There are even indexes to track how well it is growing.
you are correct, that's another facet of the debate (I tried to hit the high points). The argument against that is usually "as long as I'm there why don't I just write the damn article".

Only AMD graphic cards work fine natively since HS. The problem was that people wanted Nvidia support, they had web drivers from Nvidia for HS but there is no Mojave version yet IIRC.

Apple has only been supporting AMD graphic cards natively with macOS since the beginning and they never said Nvidia GPU would be supported out of the box nor do any of their docs say it is. They have a strict list of supported eGPU boxes and GPU for each boxes (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208544).

eGPU support in macOS has been crappy at the start even for AMD cards but they've been steadily improving since then. The problem is Apple takes forever to improve their support after only offering the option to use eGPU for certain apps in Mojave.

Nvidia drivers are likely (I doubt given Apple's recent history track) to be added to macOS when they release the redesigned Mac Pro later next year as they'll need to support various cards. Right now, there is no Apple device with Nvidia cards, so no drivers either.

On the other hand, Apple may just do the silly thing of releasing Mac Pro with no chance of changing GPUs. If this happens, there will not be any chance of Nvidia drivers for a long time.

Here's the equivalent C code:

And, of course, things like macros and typeof are totally used in kernels, virtual machines, etc... The ultimate obfuscation is alive & well in those areas. So no, the potential to do terrible things in operator overloading is not even remotely a concern there. No more than anything else.

“Over the summer, Mr. Byford created a new “speed unit” — a three-person team that traveled every mile of track on the system in an empty train to find areas where trains could safely move faster. The team identified 130 locations where the speed limit should be increased. So far, a safety committee at the transit agency has approved 34 locations for speed increases.”

There are almost 100 other possible locations.
>Houses that went for $120,000 four years ago are listed for $400,000+ for no other reason than people think they can cash in, and see all the other listings for the same unrealistic prices, and they're trying to "get theirs while the getting is good."

Listing prices are not the only indicator in residential housing. Sale prices can be a more accurate number, and those are also up. https://www.zillow.com/las-vegas-nv/home-values/

It is always a careful balance of asking price and sale price, and is reflective of many different variables: housing supply, population demand, wage growth, job growth, space, traffic, etc. Seller greed is part of the equation, but not the determining factor.

>very few people who move to Vegas are tied to the city

this is true, Nevada does have very high population turnover, but, it is not totally clear that this has a huge bearing on sale prices, this should reflect much more in rent, as those that buy homes are generally committing to longer stays. In the <2 year timeframe, home buying transaction costs and taxes can negate any appreciation, though. If appreciation is high enough, though, then even the transaction costs can be ignored. It is also important to remove people who are simply moving within las vegas into nicer homes, as they may receive benefits that reduce those transaction costs for the sale of their primary residence.

>I'm not an expert on real estate trends, but Las Vegas real estate is not something that should be used as an indicator of anything.

It was a very hard hit area in the last crisis, so it is reasonable to watch its recovery for at least some indications of the state of the recovery from the previous crash, and that recovery should be compared the fundamentals of the Las Vegas economy, relative to the last crash.

This. I left Adobe in 2008 (involuntarily :-) ), and it boggles my mind that they haven't done this sort of fuzz testing and fixed the issues in the last 10+ years. Sure, putting the code in a sandbox covers a multitude of sins, but I don't think that is sufficient. Many other Adobe products use the same code to read/write PDF files, and AFAIK they don't do it in a sandbox.
Duh. But why do FCC comments even matter? They mean literally nothing. You might as well be counting reddit comments.
This is certainly true - I thought about emphasizing this point but didn't want to make my comment longer.
This is not what these studies measure, but people in Academia are much more likely to have gone to elite grad schools (in their respective fields, which is not the same as undergrad rankings of course). And, in my experience (Stanford undergrad, MIT PhD, currently UChicago postdoc), elite grad schools predominantly select people from elite undergrad institutions. It's possible to get into a great grad program from a non-elite school, but it's much harder, while someone like me in the middle of my class at Stanford was able to get into good grad schools without too much trouble.

This is probably not just due to snobbery; it's much more likely for the admissions committee to have heard of your recommenders and such. If you do research with a famous professor at a non-elite school you'd probably have similar results, but the barrier is a bit higher.
