We don't see eye to eye on what the term 'administrative law' refers to in this case. I've tried to be as clear as possible about the difference between "Admin law - the field of law" and "Admin law - the set of principles", but perhaps I've failed.

The esteemed RA Macdonald wrote a fantastic article on the precise difference you and I have in our approaches to understanding the law. Here's the paywalled version, but the preview should provide a nice snippet: https://www.jstor.org/stable/42897805?seq=1#page_scan_tab_co...

In short, you have a narrow view of admin law. I have an expansive view. Both have their advantages, but the confusion between the two, given that they share a title, is unfortunate.

To be clear, I explicitly stated the Arbitrary and Capricious standard does NOT apply as a test here, but rather the animating concept behind the standard DOES. I've stated as much no less than three times. To ignore that distinguishing remark to indicate that I'm misusing a test in another field of law when I'm explicitly indicating that there's an analogy between two different fields of law is an unfortunate indicator that my between-meeting scrawl was not well authored.

Edit: upon re-reading your post, you seem to believe that Arbitary and Capricious is a term of art that only exists in US administrative law. That's reading the history of that area of law very narrowly (Especially given that the US judiciary agrees see: State Farm and following cases). The APA language literally includes by name the entire french tradition of analysing abus de droit. I won't get into that segment, because I can nerd out for days on that point :).
One that's heavily subsidized by its community, the same way most public universities in the United States used to be. The neverending slashing of education funding at the state level has led to sky-high student debt which leads to bad ideas like this one.
All drugs of abuse — alcohol, opiates, cocaine, methamphetamine — have adverse side effects. They make people nauseous or they give people hangovers, so why do we find them so rewarding? Why do we remember the good things about them and not the bad?

This seems like a weird question, at least in relation to alcohol. The pleasurable experience of alcohol is not only remembered but enthusiastically attested to by people currently under the influence. People have no problem remembering hangovers and talk about them frequently, and the other negative health effects are separated in time from the consumption experience, which weakens the association. I suspect this person has an unusual personal reaction to alcohol, but if it leads him to original discoveries, more power to him.
I recently finished S1 of Netflix's Narcos: Mexico, after reading your post the organization at the heart of the story comes to mind. A drug dealer who works for a single organization among many in Mexico unites (commoditize) the other organizations to distribute marijuana across the U.S border.

The distribution network becomes so large that when the organization branches out to distribute a new product (cocaine) and tries to set up a deal w/ one of two large manufacturers in Colombia the other one immediately lobbies for a distribution deal as well. Without the services of Mexican distribution the other Colombian organization would've gone bankrupt.
The author touched on it a bit but I personally don't see the benefit of using Secrets Manager over Parameter Store:

- Parameter Store works just as well and is free (outside of the KMS key cost)

- Tools like Chamber only support Parameter Store

- The one benefit that SM had for me was out of the box support for rotating RDS passwords, but RDS authentication with an IAM role is an even better solution for that
I think a lot of the satiated feeling is a mental thing, as I noticed this a lot when I first went vegan, I would eat a lot of fake meats and veganized meals of things I was used to. After time your can adjust away from that and you can feel like you ate a filling meal even if was just a large salad or a decent sandwich.
This isn't new, we do this in the UK and it's still rubbish (but arguably better than having a $200k student loan balloon from interest while you're pouring coffee). Someone correct me if I missed something.
my house was built in 1924 - one of my older neighbors said that very good chance it was a "Sears Kit Home" ..looking up "Sears Kit Home circa 1924" on google image search provides some pretty spot on plans.

I think sears was the original amazon :)
One opinion about the unrealistically high valuations of companies like WeWork, Uber, etc is that Saudis like to feel that they are buying control over Americans' lives. Pure vanity, not much long-term planning, IMO. The whole "We Company" stunt looks like a desperate attempt to highlight this property in the face of a disappointed would-be buyer.
No screenshots :-/
Indeed. GUIs should be laid out visually, by hand. Because that's not tedious, and everybody has a display with the exact same size, resolution, and aspect ratio, right?

...Right?
My real life use case for these dynamic variables would be more like "cat/vim/cp $log" to get today's log file which would expand to something like /somedir/logs/201901/09/product.log. Handy when you have a large matrix of products/environments.
A Dog Called Mixture
The dystopian novel "We" tells the story of a society which encompass all aspects of your life, in both physical and mental worlds.

>"We is set in the future. D-503, a spacecraft engineer, lives in the One State, an urban nation constructed almost entirely of glass, which assists mass surveillance. The structure of the state is Panopticon-like, and life is scientifically managed F. W. Taylor-style." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_(novel)

I'm not sure why they would invite the comparison in both mission and name,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I've been very interested in the work the "Geometry Collective" is putting out there (discrete exterior calculus and related applications). Nice to see a course covering these fundamentals too. Coming from a different side of the computational world, I might just build a subdivision program from these bones to get thoroughly immersed.
A web browser can browse to site that display VR content. A VR browser has to handle various aspects of this:

1. Displaying the VR content itself. Most can do this already but it's not always switched on by default.
2. Render the browser chrome - the UI around the VR content in a way that's sensible and usable in VR.
3. Handle transitioning from VR web contentto a non-VR content in a sensible way. (where does the browser Chrome live when the "web page" is covering 360 degrees in both directions? VR content can't be contained in a rectangular frame)
What's the reference speed for golang or generally a quick compiler on contemporary hardware? My own experimental non-optimizing compiler compiles >1M lines per second, and it's not even optimized or multithreaded. Currently quite happy about that :-)
>I'd also say that if anybody really did end up with more expensive policies with worse coverage, that's a continuing fault with our insurance companies. If they were functioning correctly, then an increase in policy premium after ACA would indicate that the consumer was not accurately assessing their own risk previously

Nope, it means that the risk pools changed and now everyone has to pay significantly more because they are paying for people with existing conditions. The only people that didn’t end up paying more are the ones who receive subsidies they didn’t previously.

The old plans were better if you didn’t have a condition because you were pooled with cheaper people to care for. Loophole reduction only plays a small part in that.

ACA changed health insurance from being insurance into a country-wide health program for already sick people. Insurance is a terrible vehicle for that. It was a horrible compromise and single payer would have been worlds better once you’re already down the path of that level of government intervention.
I just want a low km 2JZ-GTE so that when my 7M-GTE blows up again I have something better to replace it with. :)
Russian airbase in Syria is regularly [according to them] attacked by drones

https://www.rt.com/news/415454-drone-attack-syria-turkey/

https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2018/08/16/drone-attacks-ru...

Russian military jamming equipment is pretty powerful though, and these systems are also supposedly deployed there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantsir_missile_system (the key in this case is the 30mm radar guided autocannon).

I think the laser based systems like the ones that US Navy have deployed recently (https://www.cnn.com/2017/07/17/politics/us-navy-drone-laser-...) would be the future here - those military lasers are supposedly using something like adaptive autofocus on the target, so it seems to be pretty easy for such a radar guided system to make sure that only target gets the focus and only when the line-of-sight is clear of anything else.
How exactly will you know a user's "meaning" when they are asking for content? Do you intend to read their minds, somehow? Or perhaps you might hook them up to a heart rate monitor, track their eye movements and use ML to obtain user sentiment without requiring them to provide click-based feedback (like likes/dislikes).
I Gave a Bounty Hunter $300. Then He Located Our Phone
While interesting, this is not a new approach.

I graduated from App Academy in San Francisco over 5 years ago, paid a percentage of my income for 6 months in my first engineering job, and after roles at Stripe and Bain Consulting, have never looked back.
Growing up, my local grocery store had a similar service. A friendly clerk helped my mom load up the car!

I get these financial criticisms, I doubt they'll last long when the recession hits. We were in one recently and I remember seeing a bulletin board thing I think showing stuff from their Instagram, but it said they're opening 40+ buildings a month. And there's probably 10 in walking distance of the City now. It's pretty insane.

That said, we moved from a WeWork to a Spaces (the Regus clone-ish) and it's incredible the basic things that feel standard that Spaces screw up. It took weeks to get us all building passes. The office was boiling when we moved in, we asked them to cool it and they made it freezing (no thermostat...), then ignored further requests to adjust. No microwaves (they sell food instead...). No free coffee (you can buy instant pods). To print you have to email reception then wait for someone to be available to do it - and you have to pay for that. Booking meeting rooms for a future day costs money. You can't ask them to get your parcel from the postroom, they just leave it wide open so anybody can take whatever, and there's no organisation. WeWork wasn't anything special (and had the noise issues everyone else mentioned), but they did have down the very basics that make an office usable.
Researchers create first sensor package that can ride aboard bees
I've done this for years and would totally recommend it. I didn't know it was a growing "movement!"

I use it to foster an attitude of work-life balance. When you wake up in the morning in order to go to work, work is the focus. When you wake up and hours later go to work, it's just that thing that sucks up a lot of the middle of your day. I stay way saner and less burnt out due to this habit.
> I never encountered a interview candidate so bad that they couldn't program fizzbuzz

Me neither, in the real world, but I have seen a couple of excruciating mock interview videos where the "candidate" was unable to complete the fizzbuzz task. I think this might be a result of people thinking that learning to be a developer involves following along with video tutorials on Udemy, and that as soon as some threshold is reached, they should be ready to look for work.

Sure, I suppose it could manifest itself in any number of ways. I've ALWAYS considered myself a night owl for both reasons; difficulty of waking AND desire to stay up late.

No matter how much blue light I get, I fall asleep just fine at night when I go to bed (assuming I don't have too much caffeine late in the day).

That said, I will easily/happily stay up until 2am. I just don't like to go to bed. Call it getting a second wind, or desire to avoid "ending my day" and having to go right to work first thing in the AM, or whatever. I might, in fact, be a night owl, I'm just realizing I don't know myself well enough to say for sure.
Nowhere did I say that pImpls should only be used. That was only one of several strategies I discussed.

The article may have discussed standard headers, but it was neither titled to indicate that it was talking about only standard headers, nor are the problems it discussed localized only to standard headers. My original comment did not limit the discussion to only standard headers.
Oh, wow, that seems dumb. Especially the car-vs-12-ton-bus thing, they're totally different vehicles.

The DOE budget doesn’t include disbursed student loans. These days, the DOe disburses over $120 billion in loans per year. Almost all student debt ($1.33 trillion of $1.5 trillion) is Federal government issued.
That amusingly describes we work as well - they are clearly marketers above all else - you can tell because they speak in pure buzzword instead of technical aspects at all - even by the standards of overhyped technologies.
Where do you see "equity"?
This is replacing a student loan, with a no barrier of entry, no approval needed, student loan.

If the housing market is any example of what happens when entry is eased (low % rates, etc), we are looking at student loans being a lot higher than they are now.
Sounds like Unbounded Solutions/BrighterBrain. I told those scumbags where they can stick it more than once.
Since you bring it up, and since I was just looking at your favorited comments, I wonder if you could clarify: Should we attach any significance to the fact that your 3 most recent saved favorites are all [dead]? It makes me think that your opinion of what a good comment is may not agree with the official position, and that you might have suggestions for how the moderation could be improved.
I found it quite the page turner. I'm not saying sixstringtheory is wrong, reading excitement is certainly a matter of opinion, but I would invite people to give it a try. They might be surprised by how much they enjoy it.
I wonder why the degree itself is not used as collateral. Certainly institutions are permitted to vacate them under all sorts of circumstances.

Of course, some people take on student loans and fail to graduate.

I don't really disagree, but I think you've set up a bit of a strawman - in the general case I think one is more often harder than the other. You can obviously look at extreme outliers for contradictory examples, but the general case is more interesting/common.

There are also some things that are harder or easier for people because we have innate hardware for certain things. Recognizing facial expressions (or really interpreting any sort of visual input) compared to doing complex math in your head. The Type 1 vs. Type 2 systems from thinking fast and slow - some things are generally easier for humans compared to other things.

It's rather chicken and egg at the moment but if you believe in the web and you think VR is an important new medium it's important that the web doesn't get left out of the party.

I would love to implement this on my Google Home mini when I listen to radio stations. If the radio stations are not going to provide an option to pay to not hear ads, I will gladly pay for a service to block ads.
Be aware of IBR and the promise of loan forgiveness. These are relatively new programs and the first batch of people taking advantage are actually people who work in public service/non profit (whose loans get...or are supposed to get forgiven after 10 years).

There are significant numbers showing the loan servicers engaged in fraud to prevent the forgiveness. One of the major loopholes is on an annual basis when income documents are due, the loan servicers would take extended periods to “review” the income docs and place the loans in forbearance for a month. Then when forgiveness time came they were denied for not having made payments (through no fault of their own) for 120 consecutive months essentially resetting the clock every year.

Not to mention at any given point these programs can be axed, which I’m sure they will be if there were ever a significant portion of the population who would actually qualify for the forgiveness.

Well that's an interesting data point. Ray Dalio's Principles is another interesting data point on an alternative way to run an organization. These seem to me variations on a similar theme though.

They don't at all make the case for anarchy. The hierarchies are still there and still necessary.
Pretty sure their heartbeat and breathing detection was for still bodies only.

Australia has a system that, while different, has similar perks to this. We have a government loan system called HELP (formerly HECS).

Basically students can get a zero interest government loan (rises with inflation), and only need to pay it off once they make above a certain threshold ($51,957 according to the official website[1]). The payments are deducted as a percentage of your income, with the payments increasing with your wage.

This has a number of benefits:

1. Students whose degrees don't work out for them (i.e. can't find meaningful employment) aren't stuck with rising interest on their debts.

2. Allows poorer students to go to uni without parental support (I am currently a student and support myself entirely)

3. Reduces pressure on graduates to find a job just to pay off their debts. They can take their time to find a good job in their industry, rather than working lower-paying, unrelated work to pay off their loans.

My degree at UNSW in Australia will cost about $27k AUD (~$19k USD) and I'm unsure about the costs of others in my country. Under the HELP system, Australians are allowed a fair go at an education, and can take their future into their own hands (rather than relying on their parents).

> This is a bald-faced lie, and one can see that by following the links I provided.

You call me a liar now? Tone down a bit, would you? By "formatting" I meant formatting output of error messages (changing size of the buffer down to 80) and data (ensuring that newline markers are preserved), not the source code cleansing.

> I don't even know how to comment on this

Then don't.

> Original plan to release 1.0 was last year AFAIR. Then that shifted to release 0.6.5 AFAIR which is still not released.

Not entirely correct. This [1] article gives a context to what 1.0 was "then" and "now", and also explain why roadmap was adjusted.

> See why my skepticism about Red is not unfounded?

By all means, be skeptical, I'm not trying to convert you or whatnot. You've raised important points, so I tried to elaborate and explain why things are the way they are, so you can judge by yourself.

> Do not confuse Red with Lisp.

Well, I don't. As I said, reading code requires knowledge of funciton's arity, and your example only proves that. And you seemingly ignored what I said about "simplicity". Moreso, your example is Red/System, not Red, pulled out of Draw backend. I can similarly crop a random snippet out of the guts of Elixir and make googly eyes.

> It's yet another weak attempt at finding excuses instead of facing criticism face on.

Again, tone down. I asked you to elaborate exactly to face the criticism, and provided some context, so you can make a fair judgement. Things turned out that way for reasons - I gave you my IMHO on them - you see these reasons as "excuses". Fine, point taken.

> see the concerns about the foreseeable future above

Time will tell.
