People should just learn these 2 simple facts and stop focusing on just one of the pair: 1. vaping is not healthy. 2. vaping is much healthier than smoking (as long as you use a liquid that doesn't contain nasty chemicals that cause popcorn lung syndrome, e.g. diacetyl).

Whoever smokes and doesn't consider quitting as an option should try switching to vaping, whoever vapes should consider quitting as whoever smokes should, whoever doesn't smoke and doesn't vape should better avoid starting either.
You can’t do that with the “advertisement packages”. Thanks for trying though ;).

Not unless the budgets of these schools are brought under control first. A pipeline of seemingly free money is at least partially responsible for creating the current mess. Making it "free" with no restriction on how much will be spent on "free" is going to lead to even more runaway growth in the cost of providing education.

If the system provides easy access to cash backed by the US government without disambiguating loan candidates from those who are high risk vs lower risk, how is greed not a factor?

Point well made for 99% of the cases. Years back though, I worked on a web application for the elderly – try not getting clever with login forms to a userbase that doesn’t know the difference between logging in and signing up. There are definitely situations where it’s merited to (try to) overcome a lack of tech-savviness with unconventional UIs.
Don’t forget FTP. So much FTP.
You have to keep in mind that most people are the 'good guys' from their point of view. And while some actions may be despicable they engage in such actions because they think it will lead to a better world. This can lead to some interesting contrast in behaviors. As another particularly visible example of this, consider that while Hitler was okay with certain races' genocide, he vehemently opposed cruelty to animals and was a 'militant vegetarian' who would try to guilt his colleagues away from meat. [1] One of his post war plans involved a mandatory conversion of Nazi Germany to vegetarianism!

As always this is in no way a mitigation of the behaviors of Hitler, Al-Qaeda, or whomever else. I am just emphasizing that the world isn't black and white. Something I think is especially important in modern times as people grow increasingly divided over far less serious matters.

Caffeine would be far worse for you if inhaled versus oral ingestion due to how quickly it affects your body. The same is true for cocaine or amphetamines, all of these drugs falling under the category of CNS stimulant. Oral cocaine would be far safer than the ways it is commonly used. Similarly, oral nicotine would be much safer.
I can observe a dillution of education systems. It used to be stricter with clear benefits for every party:

Students that got in would go through a dense cursur and be viewed as higher intellect for the work market. With years (at least in France) there was a desire to make everybody get a higher education degree, but often by relaxing barriers of entry. You get more students but less good ones, the market is saturated by mild masters degree, not enough jobs, they trickle down (sic) and cause degree inflation (post office summer positions required 2-3 years diplomas, not rare to see a 5y college student working there).

At the same time what used to be a simple way to absorb people's need for a job is a bit comatose, simpler hands on jobs (which value was seen as less at the era of Master's degree or nothing) were nice to let people find a salary without much hassle.

I remember a tv host saying he went to Paris without anything and got a job by almost knocking at the first door he saw..

.test also works, but I like .dev more, so I have and continue to use .dev via hosts file (edit: hearing Firefox is doing the .dev HSTS preload as well, that's very disappointing to hear.)

I do wish /etc/hosts accepted wildcards, though. It can be a touch annoying having to add a new rule every time I create a new subdomain.
That's a critical difference which has nothing to do with "how the internet works".

Smoking-related cancer is mostly due to nitrosamines. Nicotine can have adverse effects on heart, pancreas, and blood vessels, but replacing sooty nicotine inhaling with non-sooty is less cancer-risky.
Good to see The Verge investing in these types of articles instead of the usual tech drama
Specifically, vaping with nicotine causes the nicotine addiction. But there's a really awesome alternative: you can vape nicotine free. Any decent vape shop will let you pick out the strength that you like, and 0% is an option. One of my roommates did just that, because he liked the social benefits: getting to pretend he was a dragon, hanging out with his other friends during their smoke breaks, etc.

Of course this doesn't solve any potential other problems with the practice (the popcorn lung scare from a while back comes to mind) but in theory, if you simply must smoke, it's possible to do so without any nicotine at all.
This is why keep pushing my daughter towards a trade school.

There's an update to the 2015 report from Public Health England (PHE) published in 2018:

PHE publishes independent expert e-cigarettes evidence review
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/phe-publishes-independent...

This video demonstration from PHE provides a striking comparison between smoking and vaping. Perhaps unintentionally, the video might make people who vape to view it as a relatively safe practice (it's much safer than smoking, but still detrimental to health):

If 60 people get addicted to juul, and only 20 gets addicted to cigarrets, there is a problem.

Cigarrets are so strong and disgusting that it is really hard to start. You really need to want to look cool as a teen to start smoking cigs.

Juul is just so easy to smoke, and the flavors make it awesome. It's insane how different the two products are in term of awesomeness.

So if juul is bad for health, the next generation is in deep deep trouble

I think they're pretty clear in the article that the problem is that there is no centralized place to ship the waste. Having it sit out in the open where it needs constant security, next to a plant that close decades ago, is the sign of a political failure.

They keep trying to put it in Nevada, but Nevadans aren't having it. They don't trust the federal government after being lied to about the dangers of the open-air atomic bomb testing that they carried out in the 1940s and 50s.

I understand storage and bomb testing are not equivalent, but I don't blame Nevadans for being skeptical. The government should look someplace else at this point.
> vaping is (from what we know so far) legitimately a far, far healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes.

Cigarettes kill 50% of long-term users. It's reasonable to use that as the comparison if you're discussing smokers switching to vaping but it's crazy to use that as the basis of comparison for new vapers.
People don’t smoke or vape coffee. When you ingest a drug orally, it typically takes many minutes or even hours to take effect, versus minutes or seconds for smoking. This principle is well known in studying things like cocaine abuse. Slower onset is less damaging to your body systems and also less likely to create addiction.
I was loving these until they said they were satire. Is it taboo to actually be serious about minimal design?
This is common, but sadly has always been incorrect.

.test is the TLD you want, specified by RFC2606.
It does: if degrees cost more, fewer people can access them, so the market has fewer people with that expertise, so they can make more money.
Right. It’s become a government backed bubble. Somehow we need to pop it softly. I’m sympathetic to all the current student debt holders and providing relief to them but if we do that without putting and end to these guaranteed loans we’re just perpetuating (and making worse) the problem.

Doing something like making community college and trade school level degrees free and leaving everything else to private loans sorta makes sense. (Arguably 80% of university graduates really didn’t need their degree for their job.)
Nit, Amanita muscaria does not really contain muscarin but muscimol and ibotenic acid. Latter causes stomach upset.
There is a direct correlation between the decline in unionism and the lack of growth in wages.

So acting like having no unions is a good thing is not actually true.

There is concern about coffee for various reasons. But the main difference here is that you don’t smoke coffee, or caffeine in general. See info on meth for why smoking stimulants is worse for your heart than oral ingestion.
Tenure does not prevent a department from being downsized. At least not any college I've worked at. The trend is to use untenured labor and I believe over half of all classes are taught using untenured labor.

Define "accepted". Hastily implemented and shoved down everyone's throat by Chrome doesn't mean "accepted".

Nope. Google is dominating the development space with utter disregard for public/dev opinion.
This will be highly unpopular but it seems to me like a solution is to start doing some amount of payroll withholding for those with student loan debt similar to the way social security/Medicare is handled. It doesn’t have to be a huge amount, but enough to ensure repayment. Government forces us to “save for retirement” via social security, yet being debt-free is a far greater advantage in retirement than the retirement income supplement of social security. If people had no debt, they’d be better positioned to cover their own retirement. Paying off $100k student loan debt “now” is far more valuable to a person than social security later. Essentially what I would propose is this: your social security withholdings go towards student loans while you have student loans, once the loans are repaid, social security contributions resume. But, it’s a house of cards because those with excessive unpaid student loans are most likely the ones financially irresponsible enough to require social security for their retirement. There is also the other issue that your social security payments you make today are paying current benefits rather than your own benefits later. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme, so in practice my idea wouldn’t work as it might collapse the social security scheme; but adding federal student loan payments to payroll withholdings would potentially solve the problem. Also stricter caps on student loans sounds like good policy. There is no good reason anyone should have $100k+ in undergraduate student loans. Taking out loans to get an expensive degree from a school like NYU ought to not be allowed. Loans should be a means to assist someone in getting education — not as a means for someone to get the most expensive education possible. Practically bottomless student loans has absolutely contributed to the extraordinary inflation in higher education: college costs have risen faster than even healthcare costs, no small part of which can be blamed upon the availability of loans.
If you've ever spent time in places where trash is dumped in the open, the need to ban plastic bags is totally obvious. I mean, they're everywhere. On trees, fences, and anything else that snags them from the wind.

Also, I gotta say, the definition of "terrorist group" is pretty damn arbitrary. Basically it means "some group that we don't recognize and/or like".
None of their samples contained micrometeorites, that must have been really frustrating.

He said they lost a cool looking one during transfer with a wet toothpick, they could try using micropipettes like some biology labs use.
Actually, if you're using your own skills and judgement, I think it's still "making". If the job was all done with CNC and robots, then there would be a strong case that it was not DIY any more.

http://promotingprimitivism.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-workman...

I accept that this question (of whether personal skill and judgement is involved) might not really be the same as the question "is this really DIY?" but it's interesting all the same.
Agreed. I doubt if there’s much risk in vaping CBD, for instance.
I'm pretty sure it's DIY if you Do It Yourself. I don't think it's surprising that people use tools to make stuff.
I think that in all other cases, but sperm bank ones, biological fathers have been forced to pay. At least I've read all kinds of such stories.

They can't make sperm bank donors pay child support or else no one would donate, ruining the chance of having kids for a lot of people.

You could make the argument with a lot of the (mostly pointless) TLDs that have been released recently, such as .uk, which was a clear money-grab targeting existing .co.uk owners, or .sucks, which feels like an attempt to extort all domain owners.
For anyone with an undergrad maths background, I'd recommend 'Fearless Symmetry' and 'Elliptic Tales'. They would be tough going for someone without a maths background, but they give a view to the forefront of some active areas of research in maths.
The support is always about the kid, no matter who requests it, be it mom or the state "welfare" officers.
Education is important, but I sometimes wonder if there is a whole lot of correlation does not equal causation going on here. What I mean is, statistics say those with a four year or higher degree earn more than those without. A correlation. But you might say that those who are predisposed with the aptitude for higher earning power are more likely to pursue a higher degree in the first place.

It's this thought, that makes me wonder if government backed higher education is worth the money. I'm inclined to support government backed higher education, but I do think this is an important question to ask when determining specific policy. I'd think we'd only want to pay for STEM degrees where students were able to maintain a certain GPA.

With that said, yes, the system is predatory. It's disgusting the amount of interest I paid for ten years to these loan sharks.

I would call Sargent a great artist by any standard, and in multiple mediums. He may have made his money in portraiture, but even then he generated pieces like The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit that are outstanding art. But outside or portraits, his murals and bas reliefs are absolutely phenomenal and worth traveling for.

It's a Chromecast. You literally can't make non-Google queries on it at all in the first place.

So what, exactly, is the privacy concern here? What specific flow of events does the Chromecast using 8.8.8.8 impact your privacy?
For many schools, sports are a profit center. Texas A&M for example, makes several hundred million per year from their sports. Schools like NYU with their insane tuition doesn’t even have big sports, yet it’s one of the most expensive schools around.
Plus "DNS related code" can be stretched pretty far to "code that uses DNS." so it's the one I prefer.

The only thing I wish was easier was having a TLD for network local names but not link-local names. I typically just buy a name for that but it seems clunky since any in-use name that uses public DNS TLDs I feel ought to be DNS server independent.
Americans use the word apartment as something that is rented. You don't buy an apartment, well unless you're a landlord. It's owned by somebody else.

I think the way you are using the word is our "condo", perhaps.
I don't think you understand how large companies work.

An engineer is never negotiating their employment conditions with HR or with senior executives. It's with their direct line manager. Who often has no power to ask for anything like parental leave or some other workplace condition.

Unions negotiate at the VP of HR level and so they can demand significant changes.
Spent fuel can be repossessed into weapons grade material and into commercial fuel. Europe, Russia and Japan all reprocessed spent fuel into commercial fuel.

You're acting like there's a dearth of job opportunities in New York without Amazon. This just isn't the case, even compared to the west coast.

I work at a small graphic/web design agency. My bosses moved from Los Angeles (where they grew up) to New York in order to start the business, because they believed there would be more opportunities here. Now, this was a decade ago, and maybe had they tried they would have done fine in California, but it's not nearly as clear cut as you're making it out to be.

Lambda School isn't exactly cheap. 17% of 2 years salary (edit) is capped at $30k. I paid less than that in tuition for 4 years of in-state tuition at a top 10 public school.
Gnucobol formerly opencobol uses c as an intermediate language and offer nonstandard functionality to link/call arbitrary c libraries. This of course opens the door to lots of peculiar “in cobol” apps.
People may not have jobs that match their degrees, but in many cases you need a degree to get a job. It’s an HR hurdle you need to clear to prove you can manage your time and eventually reach a goal you set for yourself.

> Clearly it can't update if it can't talk to google but why shouldn't it be able to play local content or stream netflix without talking to a particular google IP?

All cast apps & authentication are provided by Google's servers. Once it begins streaming from Netflix then Google isn't involved, but they handle initiation of that connection. Same for local content. And they don't exactly need to hijack DNS to figure out that you're watching Netflix after they launch the Netflix app.

And they know when streaming stops. Hence why it switches back to the slide show screensaver when you leave Netflix stopped for a minute or two.
this sounds interesting. could you elaborate a bit? it is unclear if you are inverting once, or twice. "if you have a stereo signal, anything not fully-centered will come through better while the rest is cut out" -- is this before or after an inversion?
I'm not sure about that. A lot of the donors need the money and don't really care if the kid finds out. Also, some donors do it to "spread their seed" and would probably be happy to find out how their kids turned out.
