> It is really cheap to demand that everyone else fight your battles for you.

Noone is demanding that. You are demanding that people fight the battles even though they don't want to. So, if your demand is that the battle should be fought, it is up to you to fight it, or to keep your demands out of other people's lives.

> but I've got my own life here to live, you know?

You might be surprised, but other people have their own life to live as well. So stop telling them that they should be fighting a battle they don't want to fight, just because you are ideologically opposed to how they deal with the problem that they are facing.

> Actually, I wouldn't love to do that, it sounds exhausting

So, what is your justification for demanding that other people do this exhausting work?

> and if you won't do it on your own behalf, why should I?

Noone says that you should. But if you don't, then don't tell them how they have to deal with their problem.
Item type 7 is how you handle queries, and how things like Veronica were implemented, so it's not one way. It's definitely constrained, but not impossible. There was also item type 2 for CSO, though that is much less common.

Gopher+ had ASK forms which were much like HTML form controls but were, like much of Gopher+, complex to implement and not widely adopted. Some recent clients and servers support arguments over stdin like POST requests, but this too is not widely implemented.
Based on the graph, it looks to me like the agents are just doing some sort of average between the previous prices, and the "ideal" price. This is evidenced by the fact that they both update to the same value immediately post-intervention, and continue to set to about the same values on every subsequent step. The article claims "This kind of self-reactive behaviour is a distinctive sign of genuine collusion," but that seems like a reach.

In the states, there are many non-profit Universities running for profit. That's why every one can get admitted to whatever major/program at some school. This is like non-profit hospitals ripping off people.

For the European model to work in the states, many schools need to be shut down, so as to reduce the freedom of picking whatever major at some school.

Nurses might be a good benchmark for setting this up -- google says "Registered Nurses made a median salary of $70,000" which sounds to me like they'd be a decent bet.

Training lots of people in currently high-wage jobs would be precisely the point -- those high wages are the signal that the economy could use more of them.

If there are professions which can't be funded this way (which means that right now, those employed in them never pay off their debt) which we would like to subsidise, then let's do that directly, give out music scholarships etc.

The "so-called free market" in education is responding to incentives we are providing it, which are really terrible.
“When you discuss languages it almost becomes like a
religious argument. But really a language is just a tool.
It’s like arguing, well, which one is better: a hammer or a
screwdriver? You tell me what you want to do with it and
I’ll tell you which one is better.”

But isn't this comment from a time, like 1984, when programming languages were quite domain specific. Can we not have coherent discussions about General Purpose languages, where we can actually say some languages are better than others, and while specific use cases should be taken into account; that it isn't quite like arguing which is better a screwdriver or a hammer?
This reminds me of the "Tit for Tat" results of simulations of the prisoners' dilemma[1][2], where cooperating strategies won over competing ones.

It also reminds me of Colossus: The Forbin Project[3], a science-fiction movie from 1970 in which a supercomputer in the US and one in the Soviet Union learn to communicate with one another in ways incomprehensible to their human creators and together rule the Earth.

Ask HN: What's your tangible hobby?
Most of us are working with virtual things - software, network, marketing, analytics, etc.

I still have an inevitable need to do something tangible. Especially at spring. I am more than happy if I can repair something at home, car, do some gardening, etc. But nothing regular.

Wondering if you have any tangible hobby. Have you web or blog where you share you hobby-expertise? I'd like to read what other people are doing in their spare time.
I'd say it's in the best interested of the child upon turning 18 to find out the identity of the father. The biological father may well be financially well off and the child would be entitled to a share of any inheritance. At the very least the child could sue the estate to get their portion of any assets.

The government backs the loans and this ends up being a massive subsidy for academia. If loans were priced accordingly, far fewer loans would be issued and there would be fewer students in college, and fewer colleges and universities.

As someone who has had to implement STIG, that is not a realistic method. This stuff is implemented via automation over hundreds of nodes at a time, and having to click through anything in automation is slow and error prone.

STIG itself is just a fancy check-list. Ideally, real world implementation is automated via something like OpenSCAP.
Like I said, a big part of feeling confident in my choice to use DGraph is the direction - the improvements to the QL and performance, as well as the Jepsen tests, are exactly the work I want to see as a consumer.

And that is one hell of an improvement. Nice work.
Specifically, you need reaction time faster than sqrt(l/g), where l is the distance between the engine and the center of mass, and g is gravity. But l=30 cm is still with the range of commodity hobby servos to vector the engine.

The same effect makes walking robots harder at small scale, unless they cheat by having large feet and stiff ankles.

> Meaning if the loan defaults the government pays the creditor?

Yes. And therein lies the problem insofar as I'm aware, because you then owe the money to the US government and you cannot declare bankruptcy on the US government. You can escape paying a ludicrous mortgage or car loan or what have you by declaring bankruptcy. You cannot do the same with the US government, which will garner your wages for all you're worth for the rest of your life if you don't pay back your student loan.
There was a documentary where eating quality small, oily fish were order(s)-of-magnitude more effective than fish oil pills. Furthermore, fish oil pills can often go rancid and instead contain more omega-6 than omega-3.

As with many things that may or may not be too poisonous to count as food, it's worth looking at these compared to ethanol. The lethal dose of ethanol is fairly low multiple of the dose that will provide a buzzed or pleasantly drunk state. Seems like these Muscaria follow that same pattern.

In a sense, they are less toxic than ethanol because they can in principle be detoxified by cooking. Compared to ethanol, the main worry seems to be the inconsistent concentration of intoxicants between mushrooms, and the delayed psychotropic effect making it hard to tell if you've consumed too much.
> If free markets were going to solve university education they'd have done it by now - just as they've been promising to for decades now.

The market in university education is not free, though. There are significant distortions induced by the various loan and scholarship policies enforced at both the federal and state level.

Has "the free market" been promising to solve university education? Is such a thing even an entity capable of making a promise? As far as I can tell, it's totally uninterested in doing so. Most reputable educational institutions are not for profit. The for profit ones seem almost entirely taken with the problem of bilking students and taxpayers by providing shoddy goods at outrageous prices and exploiting the student loan regime and ignorant customers. The university education system and the free market are, as far as I can tell, basically uninvolved with one another.

FWIW, I don't think the free market would solve university education either, for entirely foreseeable reasons. In a completely free market, universities and lenders would bet on the affluent, and the poor would be left out in the cold to an even greater extent than they currently are. But on the other hand, it's hard to blame the free market for the current state of affairs.

> we're saying here that less competition is bad and more competition is also bad

I think you're thinking too short term. If all the most lucrative markets are dominated by the same few tech employers, then maybe they'll end up with another moat around themselves. That moat might be one that might actually be good for both the employers and the employees, but bad for everyone else.

The market position of the competitors matters.
It has one.

reddit itself might have been a proclaimed free speech platform but the biggest strength of reddit after it started to grow was the good subreddits were heavily moderated.

I think it was great that they banned /r/jailbait and I think that the people who are often heavily moderating and shaping their subreddits are doing a valuable job.

I've been following /r/syriancivilwar for years and even though it is an incredibly sensitive and horrible subject it has incredibly contributions just because the mods have strict rules about content.
This may sound like an ignorant question, but since Google is pretty aggressive about data collection:

Seems reasonable enough, steps that should have already been taken (and may have been already for certain sectors of the government). Pretty level headed “directive,” I definitely welcome it.
The trend in browsers is being precise about standards and yet only yesterday google took an existing standard and tried to corrupt it.

Gopher can easily serve HTML content (and any other content type, too)

Sounds weird to me. 99% of the users probably don't configure anything. (So do I, because I don't see the need. My preferred language is the language of my operating system. Otherwise I would change it in the operating system.) By default the browser should send Accept-Language the same as the localization in use. It doesn't sound likely that people would use the browser in a language they don't understand.
I assume this refers to encapsulating the entire search text in quotes.

Right. You know what as socially acceptable before ? Black people forbidden to drink from white people's fountain.

Seriously, slapping children ? As in reducing teeth count or a slap on the wrist before they lay a hand on the oven ?
Quantum mechanics says there is a wavefunction. How you choose to interpret that wavefunction in terms of particles (“and” vs “or”) is really about your point of view.

Note though that quantum mechanics is itself just a simplified way of modeling what happens due to field theory. Under field theory, fields are central, and particles are just phenomena that happen under fields. It is of course possible that in a more fundamental theory, particles are central and their interaction just results in field-like behavior.
That's an option, but not one that most Americans would support today, and probably not tomorrow either. At least not after you tell them what it would mean for taxes. All the pithy internet retorts to the contrary won't change this fact.
Ask HN: Courses for Learning about Enterprise Architecture
Hi,

Which courses can you recommend?
Aren't a lot of these European countries a lot more pragmatic (cut throat?) about who can go to college? For example in Germany, I was under the impression that around adolescence they start dividing people into the university path people and the non-university path people. I don't think this type of system would go over well in the US with its individualism/"control your own destiny" mindset.

I'm not saying the European countries have it wrong, but their systems seem far from free college for everybody (how it is often reported in the states) and much closer to free college for the worthy. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Why do you not believe the claim?

Do you think they were lying/cheating on the food they ate, as published in http://www.jbc.org/content/87/3/651.full.pdf ?

Do you discount the observation that "Inuit would often go 6 to 9 months a year eating nothing but meat and fish"?

Do you think the meat items mentioned in the JAMA are incomplete sources of nutrition?

Why "accidentally got required nutrition in ways similar to the Inuit"? After his many years of polar exploration and friendship with the Inuit, how can you dismiss that it was a learned practice?

Do you know of subsequent papers casting doubt on the results? Or replicating it, for that matter?

I found http://home.exetel.com.au/surreality/health/A%20Review%20of%... which says

> This level of protein intake may have been sustainable if hepatic enzymes were given time to upregulate (as there were several years between Stefansson living with the Inuit and the experiment at Bellevue Hospital and any previous upregulation of hepatic enzymes would have diminished), but the result for this limited study (where n = 1) indicates that the values shown in Table 1 are at least realistic, although we would speculate that individuals would tend to be at the lower end of the range for MRUS without a lead-in time for upregulating hepatic enzyme function.

which considers it feasible.
It didn't do too badly, mostly had me pegged, but some of my parental influences skewed the answers as well. While my accent is about 100% Home Counties, I have a number of phrases and words that I use that come from my Northerner father. There's some more west country specific words from my early childhood that came in, too, like "Daps" for trainers.
I actually agree with you. We need to rethink how education works and is funded. I also think education is valuable and needed in lots of fields.

I just don't think we should excuse people's existing debt. We should look to fix things in the future. Some of that is the realization that there's value to be created outside of credentialed fields. Some of that is also probably the removal of credentials as a requirement for many fields as well.

In politics things come and go in waves. Yes, there's populists but the Brexit chaos shows everyone that leaving the EU is a very stupid idea. Of course the Tories are ideal as they apparently love shoveling shit onto fans facing them. Unlike the unpopular US Congress, the EU parliament has members from 128 parties grouped into 8+1 fractions. I just wish we'd send our brightest minds into this parliament and stop member countries from abusing it as a semi-retirement for some of their politicians.

The EU is making progress every year: I grew up near a border which was gone by the time I was a teen and nowadays using my mobile phone in any of the EU28 will cost me extra. It's those small things that the people do love about the EU and would miss if they'd just think harder about it. It's also boost regions otherwise neglected by their respective country's government. No one in Westminster gives a fuck about the North or Wales, the EU does, with lots of money being invested.

I hope we see a decade of consolidation and more unification e.g. in the tax, finances and transparency. Junker's own blunders as Luxembourg's prime minister are unforgivable.
What to work on
There are many winners, probably some we'll never know. Real estate developers near universities are big winners. The living standard of the average student are much higher than they were in the days of shared bedrooms and a single large shared bathroom per floor. Apartments marketed to students are pretty upscale these days. For some students, their college years will be the peak as far as living standards go. There is a whole economic ecosystem that thrives off of student dollars that were nowhere as plentiful before easy federal student loans expanded.

The financial markets no doubt have some pretty big winners though the way all of that works is a bit convoluted and difficult to pin down individual winners. If there is no tsunami of default, the government itself (and hopefully taxpayers by extension) likely will come out a winner.

The money flowing through campuses flow out in many ways beyond student spending. New construction, salaries for professors and administrators, textbook companies, journal middlemen, and many others are all thriving off of the diversion of so much money into these institutions. In general it's good for the economy around the schools but a million little drags on the economy wherever the students live after graduation as their potential spending dollars are diverted to loan payments instead of the local economy.
