2. "Hey Google, announce dinner is ready". It handles standard meals with a standard message. Otherwise it will play back a recording of what you said. You can also use "broadcast" instead of "announce"

4. "Hey Google, find my phone".
Thanks, that's better than my code. It has a logical flaw though, I think. It says "UK asks for a short extension" and then the EU leaders magically could decide to "No to short, but yes to longer extension". I don't know if this is a serious possibility or just wishful thinking...
Go back a hundred years and the culture is full of this kind of stuff. Racial and sexual stereotypes were rampant, and people could commonly point to "science" to back up their biases. Surely you are aware of this?
Hey Btown, David from Hacker Noon here. Thank you for feedback on our terms of service. We are trying to make a simple non-exclusive license, and don't have as large of a legal budget as maybe we should. There are mistakes in these terms. We will be updating our terms to make it more clear that contributors can remove their content at any time and contributors will always be accredited (and fix the typos). We are not trying to sneak anything through, just want a medium-free nonexclusive license to keep content where it is on hackernoon.com
Not if we implement one of the "government pays for college" plans that are floating around progressive circles.

This is also a way to get costs under control, since the government would have enormous leverage to set a cap on the rates (the same way Medicare pays much less than traditional insurance for the same procedure). Granted you can bet that on-campus housing would become even more expensive and mandatory, but at least tuition growth might slow down.

Unfortunately the same forces that killed the Medicare for All plans are going to work against these plans. There's a ton of money to be made with the current system and the people making it are well connected politically.

> What exactly is going on in the last 5 or so years that we've decided to spurn Reason?

It's not just the last 5 years - if "human biodiversity" turns out to be accurate (HBD could be summarized as "almost all human traits, including intelligence, have genetic components, and different population groups may have different distributions of these traits" or more simply "some population groups are better runners, some are better swimmers, some are more intelligent") and there's a fair bit of evidence for it... Well, we've been suppressing that particular shitstorm for the past 20+ years, largely due to the repugnant conclusions it can lead to, and the kind of person trying to lead us there.

We cannot extend unilaterally. It needs EU's consent and they've already stated that: 1) it won't be free - £1bn/mo has been mooted from various sources, 2) there would be clear legal strings attached such as a requirement for a 2nd referendum, 3) extension would only be allowed up to the day before the EU Parliament elections on 23rd May.
If they want to go to college (to have access to salaries exponentially higher than non-college graduates), and aren’t part of wealthy families, then yes they do.

At least, with the current college prices, they do.
There are young people who should not be in college. They either don't have the aptitude, or they weren't serious in high school and aren't prepared. We should not be guaranteeing loans for these kids, nor making them at all in most cases.

A young person with no income but good academics and a plan to study something with good employment prospects would still be a good candidate for at least some amount of credit.

Another side effect would be that with a drop in people going to college, employers would be forced to drop the "college degree required" from the vast number of jobs that really do not require a college education of any kind.

> I disagree with your assessment of the article. The Victorian definition of willpower is the same one my friends/family and I use today. Now that I have read the article I will be more mindful of how I use the term "willpower" compared to other concepts (like the cognitive strategies).

Cognitive strategies are not in tension with willpower. They are complementary. You tradeoff one for the other.

> The author makes a great case for how we use the term willpower is different scenarios to mean entirely different concepts. While the marshmellow experiment willpower is similar to interpersonal bargaining willpower, the difference is important for defining scientific vocabulary. The author is not talking about colloquial use of willpower. And these two separate use cases of the term need to be rectified.

He's absolutely talking about colloquial use of the term.

> These studies also set the stage for the modern definition of willpower which is described in both the academic and popular press as the capacity for immediate self-control—the top-down squelching of momentary impulses and urges.

> The specific conception of “willpower,” however, didn’t emerge until the Victorian Era...Self-control became a Victorian obsession, promoted by publications like the immensely popular 1859 book Self-Help, which preached the values of “self-denial” and untiring perseverance. The Victorians took an idea directly from the Industrial Revolution and described willpower as a tangible force driving the engine of our self-control. The willpower-deficient were to be held in contempt. The earliest use of the word, in 1874 according to the Oxford English Dictionary, was in reference to moralistic worries about substance use: “The drunkard ... whose will-power and whose moral force have been conquered by degraded appetite.”

These are the same definition. There is no meaningful difference between them as far as I can see.

> It is in both parties interest to uphold the result of the referendum which was held in 2016, and which they pledged to implement in their election manifestos in 2017, because if new general election comes about, their constituents will remember their betrayal

If their constituents viewpoints have moved since 2016/2017, they won't view it as a betrayal; more precisely the concern is that each major party is concerned that their own Leave faction will be more likely to abandon them than Remain-leaning voters outside will be to come over if their party is the one that flips.

Trump tweeted that planes have become too complicated and that the old and simple form is much better.

His tweet sounds dumb but there is some truth in it.

As you say, planes and procedures have become very complicated. And I think there are only two options: making planes simple again which make them less efficient or let computers fly the plane and make the interface simple(r).

If you look at the rockets of SpaceX then you can say they are the extreme form of fly by wire and very instable when it comes to aerodynamics. But computers can land them within centimeters when they fall out of space.

So maybe that will be the future. Planes that are very efficient instable flying 'rockets' that are controlled by computers.

Wells Fargo gave me a $10,000 student loan in 2007 with no consigner. According to my social security statement my lifetime earnings when I applied for the loan at 19 was $6,616 from my weekend job at the local toy store.

The interest rate? 12.79%
I'm confused. Is it that there were no mp's who were opposed to the legislation? Or is it that there were, but it was somehow sneaked through without a chance for them to vote against it? Or what?

Also, the extended security updates you're talking about are only currently being offered to Enterprise customers. Given that the market we were talking about in that previous HN discussion was non-enterprise users, who also don't have access to a version of Windows 10 without the antifeatures, unfortunately the extended security updates programme for 7 doesn't solve the fundamental problem here.

As another point of curiosity, since HN doesn't show scores any more, my comments in that previous discussion were significantly upvoted. Apparently I am not the only one with these concerns...

> She described how bewildering it had been to accompany a friend downtown, near the tourist-friendly Inner Harbor, one night a few months earlier. “The lighting was so bright. People had scooters. They had bikes. They had babies in strollers. And I said: ‘What city is this? This is not Baltimore City.’ Because if you go up to Martin Luther King Boulevard” — the demarcation between downtown and the west side — “we’re all bolted in our homes, we’re locked down.” She paused for a moment to deliver her point. “All any of us want is equal protection,” she said.

This rings pretty true to me. The past few months I've taken walks around the Inner Harbor, Fells Point, and Federal Hill in the mornings, and it has never felt unsafe. When I've ventured into other parts of the city it's like I've entered a different world. Also, as an aside, you can get a feel for how safe various areas of the city are by checking out the Baltimore Homicides Map:

Give me a break, I have been living in Israel and the anna loulu is an hipster dance bar with a very distinct population. What you don't want to mention is that most of the Arab community is much more conservative than your typical anna loulou customer and the extremists among them will kill their daughter if they found her there.

Another thing you don't want to mention is that unlike the Jewish lefty hipsters of Tel Aviv who live in their own protected bubble and pat themselves on the back when they meet their gay Arab hairdresser in a bar, most of the Jewish population interact with Arabs almost every day in a much more banal and less glamorous way without too much fanfare. It is exactly like white lefties in the US who are excited when they go to some bar and become "friends" with some ghetto black guy for 5 minutes, a guy that they will never send their kids to the same school with his kids.

Comparing the situation in Israel to Jim Crow is just disrespectful to the African Americans who had to go through those time, the Arabs in Israel are equal citizens by law and are doing much better than the black community in the US, even today. All that without even getting into this little thing of the Arab-Israeli conflict which you completely ignore as if it has no influence about the attitude of both sides and it is all some Jewish racism.

Finally, Netanyahu didn't "admit in public" to anything, if you speak Hebrew you know exactly what he said and what "medinat kol ezrache" means and opposed to a nation state, but it is not different to this whole post which tries to push insidious propaganda rather than to depict the reality on the ground.

I am not trying to pretend that the two communities in Israel are not separated, but don't try to pretend as if it is by some discriminatory attitude of Jews and don't try to pretend like the Arabs are equal to black African Americans. Don't try to pretend that all Jews are like the disconnected little group of the extreme left in Tel Aviv and don't try to pretend as if the Arabs don't want to keep things like that from their own reasons and it is all came out of some Jewish racism.

It's a large market for both sides, but Brexit will hurt one much more than the other.

The UK exports ~50% of its goods and services to the EU. The EU exports 8% of it's good and services to the UK. The latter is in absolute terms the larger amount of goods and services, but the former is just a massive portion of total trade to have to suddenly replace or re-negotiate.

Think about it this way: SMB company A has to suddenly replace 50% of its customer base. Enterprise company B has to suddenly replace 8% of it's customers. I know which one I'd rather be!

>Maybe true for Europe in general, but at least for Norway

I specifically mentioned Scandinavia as an exception in my post.

And Norway is even more exceptional, because it's not even in the EU, unlike the other Scandinavian nations.

>It's not as crazy expensive here as in the major tech hubs, of course, but you'll still pay at least 300k USD for a completely average dwelling

That's not far from what you'd pay in one of America's larger tech-hub cities, and far less than you'd pay in Silicon Valley.

I'm not trying to claim that Europe is as cheap as Thailand, I'm just pointing out that America is really expensive to live in these days in the nicer cities. Even in smaller crappy places, the rent has gotten ridiculous in the past decade or two.

But again, for the rest of your stuff, as I said, I specifically called out Scandinavia and Switzerland as exceptional and expensive. From what I saw in Germany, it's really cheap to live there compared to a major tech hub in the US, and the quality of life is much better.

Like, they tried so hard on your behalf. They spent so much money on you. They really did it out of the goodness of their hearts and in love of their child, in their own twisted way.

And now? I mean, it all blew up in their faces. All their best intentions made everything just so much more horrible for their children. They'll never wash this off.

My lord, not even Aristophanes himself could write a tragedy on this scale.

It is that way now, which kind of guarantees that it would be that way now; there are no government guaranteed private loans issued now, they were replaced with direct government loans; the only student loans today are private loans which are not guaranteed by the government and direct loans. And private loans continue to be issued.
> What if it had nothing to do with brain effects but something to do with raw interest in a thing?

Where does that raw interest come from? Humans are highly social creatures and children show signs of learning socially very early so it requires a great deal of care to distinguish between a correlation and the underlying cause. If something is social behaviour, that means that we can also question whether it's worth continuing.

> What if it turned out that the "urge to take things apart and learn how they worked", at some very low level, was more of a male thing? Why would that be so bad? That doesn't mean that equivalently-interested women need be held back in any way/shape/form (because, duh, they shouldn't!)

The problem is that the latter part is really hard to actually deliver: historically that meant that girls were actively discouraged or prevented from being interested in things which are identified as male but even without overt prevention social pressure is a real problem — maybe nobody tells someone directly “you can't do this” but if the image of programming is “you'd be the only girl” or the widespread “only nerdy boys like this” trope that's going to have an impact, and one which will probably start well before anyone is, say, picking a major in college. It doesn't even need to be conscious — maybe nobody actually thinks negatively but they just assumed that, say, a bright high school student would be more interested in biology than math or CS and never really even suggested the latter. Maybe at some point they give up after being asked again why they're doing something associated with the other gender, which is tiring even if it's not intended to be mean.

Those social factors are all around us and the only thing which seems to work is actively correcting against them so that every kid has as wide a range of opportunities open to them.
>Never mind the uselessness and lack of ROI of most degrees in the broader job market.

AFAIK the reason why this is even an issue is because the government guarantees all loans equally (probably "study what you love" is politically popular). If there were no government guarantees, lenders wouldn't lend to students studying for useless degrees (presumably because they have a higher default risk).
You have to look at it like a retainer charge. Most of the time, what they do is minimal but when something happens, they will give your property a ton of time. I think property managers are chronically underpaid because the barrier to entry is so low. The best run firms I've seen are one or two people that charge a premium but cap themselves at say 150 units. Then you get their full attention and care all the time. The hard part is they're never taking on new clients because they're never losing old clients.

It's a lot like good CPAs, good lawyers, or good family practice physicians.
