Contd: Part 2/3:

My proposed solution(#changemymind):

1. On the other hand, grad students end up with massive student loans.
2. Would it make more sense to forgive student loans or give tuition credit to students who agree to teach schools for 5 years.

3. It could be full time or part time. They can take an additional course or credit while they are still studying.

4. Effectively, they are getting loan forgiveness. Filling a low paid job that doesn’t have to be a permanent job.

5. Are relatable to students.

6. Unions lose the power to interrupt basic education.

Am I wrong in my design for solution to the education issue.

Part 3/3

Further:

1. Change class rooms and have groups of children of varying ages in the same school room.

2. They learn what they want and how they want to study.

3. Each student has an ‘companion AI tablet’ that mirrors the student, but is always handing out challenging material just one level above the students ability because it’s one step ahead of the student and is able to guide the kid onto the next step. This way education is customized and always challenging.

4. Testing once in 2-3 years and after that separate them into streams according to ability and interest.

5. Graduate students can take on different topics as subject teachers for each multi age group rather than current system where children are streamed into classes and have to learn according to their age group.

This is random woolgathering. Would this work? If yes, can it be improved?

- In most industrialized countries, iOS has between 30% and 60% market share - nothing with that type of market share can be seen as a “status symbol”

- the Galaxy S8 plus was $785 new in 2017 (https://www.cnet.com/news/heres-how-much-the-galaxy-s8-and-s...). The iPhone about the same price as the iPhone 7 Plus when it was introduced, it wasn’t “much cheaper”. If you bought the iPhone 7 Plus a year after launch, it would have also been cheaper. How long will your S8 be supported with updates by Samsung? The 5s from 2013 is still getting updates.

- Netflix’s profit hovers around $300 million (https://www.marketwatch.com/story/netflix-is-growing-even-fa...). Comparing Netflix to Apple is laughable. The Mac makes more Netflix’s entire business.

- Android “won” by what measure? Android phone makers are barely profitable besides Samsung and Samsung makes most of its money from selling parts for other phones. It came out in the Oracle lawsuit that even Google only made $31 billion from Android over the first 8 years total - half of what Apple is projected to make this quarter.

Androids market share is meaningless if it doesn’t lead to profits and is seen to be made up of poor people who don’t spend money.
Your article counts shipments. That’s the most of market metrics. Better: revenues. Even better: profits. This is what Apple historically focussed on, to the detriment of its competition.

Betterer: device + platform (*e.g. App Store fees, Apple Music, iCloud) revenues. Even betterer: device + platform profits. This is what Cook is now focusing on, in light of the world’s most profitable consumers buying phones less often but still religiously spending on them.

>phones are feature complete

This is a much better explanation to slowing iPhone sales than people complaining about the missing head phone jack, the lack of TouchID, the notch or sizes. I don't think any of those design decisions have made any significant number of users pick Android phones when upgrading.

For most of us, there's simply no reason to upgrade from the iPhone 6 or 7, they're absolutely fine, and I'm not sure that the improvement in the camera quality is something that many will notice.

I'm not sure if this is the case in the US, but most carriers here don't have a 2 year upgrade plan, you don't get "free" phones anymore. You can get a payment plan, where you pay of your phone over two or three years, but they aren't getting you a new one, not even at a reduced price.

Technically you always owe the money, you just don't have to repay it when you have a low income. It is stepped in the rate of repayment -- it might be 2% of income at $50k and 8% at $100k. It certainly seems like your biggest raise ever when you pay it off.
IBM deliberately over-complicate and obfuscate technology, so that their Global Services can steal customers' wallets. To this end, they push for premature standardization of over-engineered specs through committee capture of OMG and occasionally W3C - just look what they did to SOA (IoT beware).

IBM is following the hallowed path of GE: lose your core business and use buybacks to prop-up dividends and the share price. Swapping equity for debt makes sense when interest rates are at 5,000 year lows.

A cartoon character who runs off a cliff can keep going for a while, but when they look down, to see business declining and interest rates rising, they fall rather rapidly, as gravity takes over from leverage.

Ask HN: Struggling with mental disorders, looking for advice
Throwaway for obvious reasons.

I've been diagnosed with all kinds of stuff, including schizophrenia, OCD, depression, etc. (The docs aren't even sure themselves what I have) been through various medications and therapies, none of them seem to help.

Struggling with suicidal thoughts on a daily basis, nothing brings me joy etc.

I think my problem are only something which can be treated with medications, but I've tried so many and the docs aren't sure what to do with me anymore.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and found a way out?

Thanks in advance.

It's a sign of burning out. I've felt the same way many times during my career. I started making websites when I was 15 (I'm 33 now) and moved to a management role. When I wasn't coding for the last few months, I realized I missed building stuff. I just quit my job this month and now looking for contract/freelance work.

One thing I realized very late was I needed some kind of hobby outside writing code and spending time in front of a laptop. Go find a hobby: Travel solo, read books, learn to play some sort of musical instrument, learn to cook. Anything helps.

If you like talking to customers, find a developer evangelist job somewhere. You'll get to talk to customers and developers. Else, think about moving to a product management role. Start reading books about product management. You can also fast track your learning by taking some kind of formal education in product management.

There is an interesting part in Casanova's autobiography where he is in Paris, and he is trying to sell a Lottery implementation to the governement. If I remember correctly he even meets a minister of Louis XV, but the project never really starts.

Casanova was essentially a conman always looking for new scheme to make money : he started his careers pretending having the knife of St. Peter used to cut Christ's ears, and used it as a divination tool to find buried treasure. And he later used numerology.

That gives you some ideas of who was interested in Lotteries in the XVIIIth century.

My chats with colleagues suggest that: with the increase price of the new iphones and there're many more cost performance phones made by local companies(Huawei,Xiaomi...)they have no motivation to replace the old ones,even if they have,they will first consider a local brand.
How does that work in code bases where you're not authorized to change everything?
As someone working in this industry on the "employer"-side: Yes, I believe this is exactly whats going to happen. It's a real business pain that we don't have these kind of informations about gig workers and would pay top dollars to have them... it's only a matter of time until this becomes standard practice in these business modells... just like credit rating agencies we're gonna see it on a work-level too.
It is, if you have any interest in convincing him otherwise, and successfully holding a conversation. If your goal is to argue aimlessly, and simply make your anti-claim with no new information (thereby convincing no one), then yes, you have no further tasks to be executed. But then you might as well have not spoken in the first place.

Otherwise, all you’re claiming afaict is that the posters should argue with themselves — find the counter-evidence to their own claims, which is likely sufficiently convincing that they would not have had any reason to speak in the first place.

That is, this idea of “not anyone’s job to search for (counter)evidence” is antagonistic to any form of discussion where parties disagree. If you want to make the opposing claim successfully, its quite useful to have evidence to support it (it’s not their job to find it for you... its not anyone’s job to do anything in an HN thread.)
> They could have made an improved taxi service where people still payed a fair amount and in exchange you get a pleasant, on demand taxi

This was what Uber was. Then Lyft launched its product and, to Uber’s shock, didn’t get any regulatory pushback. (Most people in most American cities had horrible cab experiences. Also, the tech backlash hadn’t yet begun.)

Uber probably improved the pay laws for New York’s taxi drivers by bringing light to their plight. It also improved quality across the board.

This isn’t a simple “they got greedy” story.

Usually it just works. When it doesn't I call them and tell them my phone doesn't work and ask for another way to verify my identity.
That's not it. It's more like the belief that economics and psychology are separate and economic theory should restrict itself to dealing with expressed preferences, and not be concerned with how those preferences came to be.

Yes there are a few relatively simple things that can be done to vastly improve sound isolation in wood frame buildings. They do cost a little bit so many builders don't do them.

For isolation between rooms the walls can be built with "a hollow core", which means there are, in effect, two separate walls, each facing their respective room with almost no pieces of wood joining the two walls. It's the wood that normally is touching both walls that allows sound transmission. Secondly the "gyp rock" sheets that create the wall can be stood off from the timbers they're anchored to to further improve sound isolation.

For sound isolation between floors it's possible to lay down about four centimeters of concrete over the wood floor and this hugely improves sound isolation.

Obviously these increase costs but they do really work and probably don't increase cost by more that 5 to 10 %.
TOP 7 REST API Security Threats
A lot of the probability you learn in high school came about because people wanted to understand certain games of chance.

The thing described here is a good example. It sounds like there were some underpriced bonds that were also lottery coupons, and Voltaire scooped them up.

The history of people trying to beat games of chance with math is incredibly interesting.

Take Ed Thorp. He actually built a machine to measure how fast the ball was going round a roulette table, out of the very first transistors on the market. Yes, back when computers were stored in a house. If you look at the odds though, the house advantage is only slight in most casino games. A small tilt can favour the player.

Ed and a load of MIT people also went on to break Blackjack through a hole in the implementation. Turns out if you don't reshuffle often, the odds change and you can devise a system for winning.

Yet another group of MIT kids did the lottery thing again.
I'm a very avid boardgamer (>100 games stored in a dedicated room) but CCGs never really interested me. I played some MTG way back but it was always very obvious that those games are a money sink. I like LCGs a lot more because you know what you get and can plan. For CCGs I always ended up buying a deck to play instead of "collecting". I tried again with Star Wars Destiny and enjoy the game a lot but I just can't bring myself to buy lots of booster displays just to get the stuff I want. My rational brain simply refuses to do it. I can buy a great board game for less than a booster display or I can buy a cool but expensive game for less than two booster displays (Gloomhaven).

And I can get the feel of a CCG from any of the great LCGs if I want that (Netrunner, L5R etc.). I get that in a CCG you get more carddrops and boom the entire meta shifts etc. but it's the corner of board/card gaming that interests me least by a wide margin.
This is my first "successfull" side project I have been working on and off on these last couple months. I would appreciate any feedback on UX experience. I am myself not too good on this regard and these last days I have been improving usability. For instance I have removed mandatory credit card on sign up and made it only neccessary after the trial has expired. I also tried to improve the copywriting of the app so it's more action oriented.

The stack is Java 1.8 + Spring Boot + JavaServerFaces. It's not a modern stack but pretty solid. I have deployed it on AWS Elastic BeansTalk and the database is hosted in AWS RDS (latest PostgreSQL).

I noticed that in germany many people can't imagine spending 1100Euro+ on an iPhone once they saw the cheap competition from the Chinese brands.

This will only get worser in the coming years as more people get used to Android.
Young users also can't afford an Apple product in Europe and they watch the youtubers that always talk about those cheap brands. So they will grow up with android and will get used to it, which will make it very hard for apple to get them to switch.
There is a noticeble change among the Youtube stars (influencers) that switched to windows machines to edit their videos. They just didn't have any comparable options in the Apple lineup. This "free" advertisement will also lead more young people to not desire Macbooks as much.

Americans should look up the market-shares of iOS internationally, it's very low.
Therefore there is much less lockin (iMassage) or stigma towards using Android.
Android is also getting only better over time.

Android has the best camera software and Hardware with the Pixel 3.
-Best AI, Google assistant is miles ahead of Siri, Siri is an embarrassment
-Best Maps
-Best integration of its complete software suite of Drive, Docs, etc...

Then the is the whole textbook innovators dilemma.
-Apple keeps iMassage iOS exclusive and passend on the opportunity to have the most popular communication App on the planet just in the hopes to get a few more iPhone sales.
-They don't open the Siri API and stiffle integration in other home devices just to get a few more HomePod sales.
-They don't allow for Spotify with its 70m paying costumers to connect to HomePod to get a few more subscriptions for Apple Music.
-They don't want to build a Macbook Air 15" to not lose sales of the 15 Pro line.
-They don't include a fastcharger to get a few more $on their seperate fastcharging adapter, most people that are even aware of that will buy a second market adapter anyway, and the people that are not aware of the existance of fastcharging for iPhones are just blow away when they see an 300$ Android being charged with 18w
-They refuse to admit the big mistake their ultra thin keyboard was/is in their macbook lineup. I heard from multiple people already that had the money to spend 4000$+ on a new macbook pro 15 that instead held of or bought a used 2015 Macbook instead.

They are so afraid on cannibalising their own business that they stifle them to death and pass on the longterm opportunities.

That data shows that most 4-year public colleges in Texas are less than $300/hour, with some less than $100/hour. The average is $238/hour. (From https://www.collegetuitioncompare.com/compare/tables/?state=...)

Most people tend to discount the cheap, unknown schools. But they're accredited, which means they provide a vetted curriculum and their degree satisfies prerequisites for higher degrees at other accredited institutions.
We also have the same system here in South Africa. It is called NSFAS(National Student Financial Aid System). It is government loan. If you pass all modules you registered, the whole loan used to be converted into a bursary as an incentive. Starting from 2018, education is now free for people who earn below a threshold of R350,000(~USD25,000) household income.

There is also a contingency plan for students who come from families with a household income of R600,000(USD 43,000) per annum.
And, well, they're usually right at the time of release. You can't blame them for wanting to market that they have the best specs at the time.
