If you wanted to try one more thing, if they are actually working with the U.S. government (and most Countries probably have similar options) there are places you can report them, generally anonymously. Contractors are required to maintain secure systems, even things you would never think of, and U.S. Defense contractors are especially at risk if they do not.

I do disagree with one comment here. I would NOT delete your attempts to warn them. You deleting this could be worse for you later, or be seen as you deleting "evidence". As long as you are not doing anything illegal yourself, and you have done nothing to harm this company than you are safer to keep the records. If you do not, and you delete them, you have no proof and they could make later claims against you. Just my 2 cents, but IANAL.

The policy seems sane.

* They know when they can serve 0RTT from their cache safely because they can be reasonably certain if handling a cached request is side effect free.

* If connections to backend origins are reasonably persistent, there's not much latency reduction benefit from 0RTT compared to connections from consumer user agents.
Definitely guilty of this :(
That's assuming a college education gives you "an expansive view of human knowledge." I think that assumption should be questioned. I for one know there were a lot of pointless courses in college. I've learned more by being widely read than I ever learned through college courses.

If you are writing an IDE, it seems foolish to spend time on a small touch UI that will be used by almost nobody. If you can't do something well, don't do.
Okay, then

You can extrapolate 400% from this example.

Consider me obscenely interested in understanding the math to break down measuring risk such that you end up with 400% annualized interest on a, say $1000 loan.

Again, even traditional banks don't hit applicants with poor credit this hard. Personally, I paid off a personal loan with my credit union down in Texas, only financial institution that would give me one with my credit. 18%.

I have yet to find anyone who can provide a convincing argument for why such a high interest rate is warranted compared to traditional lending sources who will have the exact same concerns and risks but charge demonstrably less.
>I sometimes wonder if the problem isn't exactly the opposite of what people think they are. Women are underrepresented in tech because they get more support, not less. More choices, and they get pushed to go for the truly glamorous choices.

There might be something to this. I've anecdotally read somewhere that there are now more women in med school and law school than men. If that's true, and women are over-represented in even higher-echelon pipelines, are they funneling women away from comp sci? It's not the solution, certainly, but the answer to that question might be interesting.

>No matter the field, discipline, or industry, if we want to succeed, we must master the networks…The harder it is to measure performance, the less performance matters.

although i absolutely agree with the analysis of the art world, or world in general, to actually read this makes me very disheartened. and it does not make me want to give up any time spent creating for the sake of networking.

but on modern artists, with my own favourites, there is generally a reason to their success other than being brilliant marketers...Jackson Pollock, for example, had lots of criticism of his work, only for forty years later to discover that his paintings could be judged to be real or fake, by whether or not there were fractals present [1]. i think that is a clear case of someone taking a modern approach to creation, and spending countless hours honing and perfecting their craft for the sake of pure natural aesthetics and discovery.

this article paints like the artists themselves are as fame hungry as the artists critics. lo to find that the 21st century van gogh avoided the art scene completely because of toxicity.

I agree that good code matters but I am not sure if it matters THAT much in some cases.

I write average code but always seek to make improvements. I'm always trying to improve my knowledge on OOP and learn about different approaches to architecture but at my company I could write garbage code and nobody would care. Recently, I tried to make an update to a legacy software and the code was quite bad, methods that were 15K lines long. Terrible variable names, UI elements named button1, button2 etc. However, nobody cared because it worked, it served it's purpose for the last 12 years, and yes it needs a complete rewrite, but it would probably need that anyway after 12 years as there are some major business changes.

I think every programmer should try to make things and try to improve. However, over-engineering and writing too many unit tests can also be a waste of time.
Managed languages remove an entire class of exploits present in C and C++ programs. That alone is a very good start.
Why do you think having tests is a code smell? Sure, you can overdo it, but testing is useful and it's wasteful to have humans do it where it isn't necessary.

You're framing this as if there can only ever be one initiative, and that saving water while brushing teeth was the wrong choice.

Realistically there could be a new initiative like that 1-5 times a decade. Society rarely behaves in the most optimal way, and as I said saving water is very low effort, though it might also be low impact. The real faillure not following up with more and better initiatives.

What if none of the available waste disposal companies are using newer trucks, are you supposed to call them every week like with congress people?
And how is buying a bag of peanuts branded with some promise of ecological responsibility any different from saving water brushing their teeth?

I tend to agree with the commentators on your post. I went the college route, but technically had a "trade school" experience first via the military - it gave me the befit of trying out a career field before I committed to a degree. I have family members who just went to trade school and comfortably clear 6 figures a year - they never even had a desire for college.

We need to stop stigmatizing trade schools and start realizing that college IS NOT a necessity for everyone, especially with recent debt loads people are taking on for worthless degrees (e.g. a top university near me recently removed all the math courses from an IT/cyber degree because students "were not enrolling in high enough numbers" - that would NEVER happen 20 or so years ago). "An expansive view of human knowledge" is not needed for someone who just wants to work as an electrician - which many people are perfectly happy doing. If they are happy with a trade, why force them into something they will be miserable in?

Even now, as an employer in a technical field, college degrees are virtually meaningless because most institutions utterly fail to equip their students for the workforce. We hire based on a combination of experience, personality, and certifications. Only if your degree is in a designated engineering field do we give it any weight at all but, even then, experience is still paramount.

What if there were humanities bootcamps?

That probably sounds like a joke...but why should a traditional expensive university be the only structured way to get exposure to broader human knowledge?

An intensive bootcamp model doesn’t actually make sense for breadth (they are designed for the opposite)...but if you told me I could be part of a structured organization in my city where I’d be introduced to interesting broad humanities topics through lectures from experts and assignments over several months then I’d be interested.
I think this weird Twitter rant throws into stark relief a difference between the humanities and sciences.

A political scientist is claiming that the metaphor of the tragedy of the commons isn’t useful because its creator was racist. It is certainly clear to me now that Hardin was a racist and not a subtle one.

... but just because some guy on Twitter decided to go on a rant doesn’t change the fact that the tragedy of the commons is a situation whose preconditions, causes, and effects actual scientists have rigorously defined.

Just because the human ecologist who popularized it (and I love the irony of the political scientist tweeter implying that his opinion is invalid because he was gasp actually just a human ecology professor) was a bad person doesn’t change the state of science.

> It's not hard to make a hefty profit in excess of risk pricing if you're conning a revolving set of desperate people.

I don't think this is true, at least for payday lending. People seem to be trying quite hard and failing to make hefty profits.

Payday lenders apparently run a pre-tax profit margin below 10%, while consumer financial services in general are around 30%. Real estate and vehicle leasing are also up around 15%, so there's plenty of money in lending people valuable things. (Sub-10% is not a low profit margin, broadly, and it's hard to find any more detail. But industries without significant unit costs often run at or above 10%.)

About 20% of opex for payday lenders is apparently defaults; that "revolving set of people" point is quite true, but it also means lenders have badly incomplete information about their transactions. I don't mean to be glib, but it turns out that it's pretty hard to turn a profit when your business involves giving money to strangers without collateral. Realistically, I'd expect much higher profits for shady tax preparers and other people who can load all the risk of imperfect information onto their customers.
You could devote your whole life to the pursuit of knowledge and still not have a good understanding of the world.

That is how I'd justify the fact that 12 years of access to education is not enough.
Apparently that is avoiding sales taxes and in a way that seems completely legitimate. One of the examples was New York. New York has a destination based sales tax. So if you are not using the item in New York you don't pay sales tax on it.

I'm a coffee ritual person as well, though I think you can get a similar experience using a machine.

With that being said, my coffee maker device of choice is a Peruvian coffee pot (for lack of a better name, essentially this: http://cuzcoeats.com/perus-great-way-of-making-coffee-esenci...). It creates a dark rich full body concentrate that hits the nail on the head for me. With that being said, I'm not a big fan of the subtle flavours of coffee that you might get in a high quality pour over with a lightly roasted coffee.

Your local pre-commit hooks are separate to your remote pre-commit hooks.
I think this is a valid point, but...

The way the tertiary education "system" works is built on a premise that is contradictory to that.

Within a generation or two we went from a university system that was intended to educate and socialize (for lack of a better term) wealthy people to a university system that educates regular people.

The premise for this was/is "human capital." That is the idea that wealth isn't just wealth. Your ability to do earn income with your skills is wealth too. In that framework, education is a capital investment.. something that pays for itself.

A lot of efforts went into making these capital investments. Students spend years. Parents save for decades. Charities contribute scholarships. Governments fund universities. ..and of course, (moreso in the US) debt pays for a lot of it.

The human capital theories suggested that education is such a great investment though, that it's worth it.

It turned out though, that colleges aren't really creating the income differences observed between graduates an non graduates. A lot of what they do is just admit people who will be high income earners. The ambitious, talented, studious, academically inclined... and the wealthy.

Anyway.. The problem is that the investment is big. We (society, students, parents) can't afford for it to have a poor return, and retroactivley rebrand it as something else..

Intellectual enrichment is a very worthy pursuit, if you can afford it. That's what universities were originally for. Most people just can't afford it, on balance.

Sure, if you loan someone $1000 and they have to pay you $1,080 in a week, your APR is roughly 400%. It’s just an extrapolation of the $200/$205 example. The risk would depend on the likelihood that the person would return with $1080, how many other loans you had to absorb the loss, your available capital, etc. I may not have understood your question, though.

Edit: in response to your edits, I think your credit union example is a good one. That is exactly why credit unions are valuable; they have a local/regional reach similar to payday, but they are cheaper, and they will lend to people that Bank of America, Chase, etc. won’t touch.

100+ years ago a urinal would neither be considered art nor valuable as an artistic expression. Art used to require skill until avant-garde and deconstructionism mounted what has turned out to be a successful attack on artistic competence.

Why it was successful is an interesting question. The wealthy has always been important patrons of the arts, and people seem to use the cost of a piece to signify value of the art itself. Imagined or otherwise.

A few documentaries [1 - can't find the main one I was thinking about] [2 - a good video summary on it] and books have exposed that tax deductions on art donations is an incentive to game the system, because it easy to collude with art brokers you know to collect cheap crap art and then donate it. To find a way to collect art you truly adore and then part with it for a tax deduction is much harder.

Except that's what high school should be. And let's face it, general studies courses that make up that "expansive view" of college really are repeats of high school with slightly more work, at least if you take honors classes in high school. And if that expansive knowledge is being surrounded by peers who are in pursuit of higher learning...that's not the typical college experience these days.

High school is becoming more dumbed down so that people can pass state exams and graduate rather than teaching the knowledge that we used to consider foundational. We've lowered expectations and extended adolescence so much that we no longer expect 18 year olds to be mature and capable adults, which shouldn't be the case.

Your view of trade schools is severely skewed though, and is really indicative of the problem discussed in the article. Most trade schools do not turn you into a worker on a production line, they teach you to be a skilled worker or artisan in a trade. You don't go to a trade school to be an assembly line worker, those are jobs that are taught on the job and are typically low paying. You go to a trade school to be an electrician, mechanic, carpenter, welder, etc. These are skilled jobs that are difficult and challenging. They are also jobs that have a greatly accelerated pay scale, and often lead to jobs that pay as high or higher than the large majority of college degrees (maybe STEM excluded), particularly if you are able to start your own business in the trade.

Quotes from your link:

> Men by and large compete to be selected by women, but my anecdotal observation is that relatively few women perceive this because they’re in turn focused on a relatively small number of high-status men, with status defined differently in different context.

> Why would a high-status, high-skill man want to marry a random woman with limited skills or prospects?

I have notes for a followup to my blog post, tentatively titled "the predicaments of girls and boys". One of my passengers told of a woman who'd snagged herself a "high-status man". After four years she got kicked to the curb. I suspect she was attempting to upgrade herself from 'trophy girlfriend' to 'trophy wife', but her high-status boyfriend probably thought that was beyond the scope of their arrangement.

In addition to what the other commenter said, it's also worth breaking alcohol out into it's own statistic since it occupies a different place culturally and in people's minds than other drugs.
