> Because there are things worth learning beyond just what's valuable to the job market

That's just your opinion. Unfortunately, it's supported by the entrenched education establishment, but that doesn't make it true.

The cold hard reality is, if you aren't college material, don't attend some vocational school, and don't learn a trade, you're in for a life of hard labor or burger flipping. It's going to be a completely crap life for most people.

> those of us who do want to pursue a career that requires a higher education shouldn't have to spend the rest of our lives in debt just to do so.

Yeah, one way to reduce costs would be to remove all the extraneous coursework that's of zero value to society.

> A malfunctioning sensor is believed to have tricked the Lion Air plane’s computers into thinking it needed to automatically bring the nose down to avoid a stall.

That is ridiculous logic to implement in a "safety" system. An automated system should never cause a plane to dive unless it also knows that it has enough altitude to safely do so - much less in a way that makes it difficult for pilots to override.
I haven't read it, but I have a feeling we're not talking about the same people. I'm not talking about successful investors and millionaires. I'm talking specifically about net worth north of $200M in today's dollars. Not the people who jumped from their windows during the Depression. The ones who bought their stock and waited it out.

Edit: I've now read a few reviews and summaries of Devil Take The Hindmost. Its subtitle is "A History Of Financial Speculation," and it appears that its subject matter is not focused on ultra-wealthy persons with diversified portfolios being ruined by market corrections, but specifically speculators and frauds. At a glance, it doesn't look particularly relevant to this conversation.
I assumed it was in the context of advertising.

You literally can't have an email service that doesn't process your emails somehow. Spam filtering and phishing protection has to work on the content of the email, the act of sending email needs to read parts of it to send it. At the absolute least they need to "read" your email to store it's contents and send/display them.

If that is something you want to prevent, then i think using any hosted email provider is completely out of the question. Email in general might be unusable if that is the level of privacy you are looking for.

I normally hate parroting back the "if you don't like it then don't use it" line of thinking, but in this case it's the only real option. Sure they could offer a special service with no scanning, spam protection, etc... But they'd still need to store and "read" your email to work, and they'd still need to be able to do some analytics to protect their system from you (you could be a bad actor that would act in bad faith, and they need to protect against that to keep the entire service running). For someone that doesn't trust that they aren't going to just "read" your email anyway even if they say they only use it for some very limited things like spam protection, an additional layer of "we promise we also won't do this" won't change anything.

If you want absolute control over exactly what bytes are sent and where they go, host your own email service. Just like how if you want to be completely 100% absolutely sure that nobody is going to spit in your food, and you don't trust anyone else to not spit in your food, you need to cook it yourself.

Just what I need, another adapter that I have to remember to bring with me, not lose etc. Plus the one on Apples website doesn't allow you to charge while the adapter is plugged in, so its either headphone jack or charging cable. No, I do not want this.

Besides, for all of Apples space/thin-saving attempts, requiring me to use an adapter negates all of these completely.
Ask HN: Why do people search for a resume builder?
Hi there,

I'm currently looking at some tools that the monthly search traffic of "resume builder" is 400k. And I'm trying to learn what's right before that. I want to find answers to 2 main questions.

1. What's the main reason people start looking for resume builder?

2. What should it include to they feel comfortable choosing it to make their resume?

I'll be really happy to discuss that with you in the comments below.

Paranoia from weed is a well-known phenomenon among smokers, and was so even long before clinical discussions about the effect became common. I'm surprised how defensive some (usually liberal-leaning) people become when the connection is suggested. I guess they have limited experience with cannabis, or they feel the need to protect a certain narrative.

The purpose of confirmed political appointees is to create a layer of empowered leaders who can do more than simply steer the ship in a straight line, or react slavishly to orders from above. The confirmation process serves two purposes: (1) it ensures that relatively independent thinkers with high political capital are in those spots, and they see their allegiance to the entire system and not just one man, (2) it provides a safety valve (via resignation) when the confirmed appointee does not agree with orders from above. The danger of the DoD is that it’s an agency that can give the appearance of running itself when there’s no crisis, but may need expert leadership when there is one. Since the entire purpose of the DoD is to manage crises, lack of high-level leadership is a serious concern. Ditto the FAA.
Everything you need to know about Loading Animations
Yes, but one would assume they could have improved this between versions although it may not be marketable for them
Mine work perfectly. I’ve heard this being a problem from other sources as well though.

Is your phone and/or MacBook older?! If so i suspect the older Bluetooth version may be causing issues here.

Other issues: congested use of the Bluetooth wireless frequency. If you are next to a figurative noisy microwave (busy building, loads of people using the same spectrum), there’s nothing one can do.

Or the AirPods are simply broken and need replacing.
I wouldn't say it never goes as smoothly as they describe, at least in my experience. My experience with the iphone xs + airpods is about:
50% as they describe
49% have to go through bluetooth menu for instant pair
1% they never connect, extreme frustration, have to completely re-pair (no different than any other bluetooth product here, just don't experience it as often with airpods).

With Macbook I almost always have to go into bluetooth. There is no switching experience as they originally showed in the airpods keynote. They actually ended up rescinding the statement that they would do this after the keynote, which is super disappointing.
It requires you to be physically dependent on it, and then delirium tremens may occur following abrupt cessation, as a withdrawal symptom.

Yeah the League of Nations was the result of the first one and it failed. Given the sheer slaughter they needed a way to forge peace as it clearly was massively self destructive.

I am not sure how true it was but I heard a theory that Europe lost much of its intellectual prominence due to so many young men dying in the trenches in WW1 - now Europe does good intellectual work now but it is more "neat thing out of Europe" as opposed to "the hotspot". I am not well equipped to evaluate the merits but the idea is interesting at very least.
Well, the point is that the experience from MCAS trying to be clever and subtle is very different from what one would expect in an old-school runaway trim situation caused by, say, a stuck relay.

Easy to chase down a wrong line of inquiry when the symptoms only appear sporadically and can be temporarily stopped by a whole range of actions that won't permanently fix it.
No one enjoys waiting.

|subsidizing education lowers the cost, making it more attractive than it otherwise would be compared to the alternatives

The saddest thing, is that it clearly hasn't. Tuition costs have sky-rocketed, as has interest rates on education loans. It's become absurdly expensive.
> I could not invent that given 10,000 years

Invent CPUs, probably not. That took tens of millions of hours across decades of iterations.

But it’s actually not impossible to create your own CPU from scratch. I’d suggest starting off with a $50 or less FPGA and start learning about the logical building blocks of a modern CPU. You can then advance to building up a basic CPU fairly easily. Creating a full featured ISA and then designing out the circuits and having the chip actually fabbed is not trivial, but I know of many hobbyists who have, so it’s certainly doable if you’re dedicated enough.

That's one part of the story. There's only one tech company in all of Europe that can easily digest a $1.7 billion fine.

SAP is Europe's most profitable tech company by far. About $4.5 billion in net income ($7b in operating income).

The US has at least 16 tech companies at that level of profit or higher.

Just Microsoft + Google + Amazon + Facebook + Apple = $185 billion in annual operating income.

In terms of sales, those five combined companies are the size of Turkey or Saudia Arabia in GDP (they'd be around the 19th or 18th largest economy in the world).

> The arts and history teach us empathy and give us context of the human condition.

I disagree. These courses should be merely electives, if offered at all. The average person doesn't really have time for this stuff, they have a long road ahead of them and they need to spend more of their formative years preparing for the hard conditions of adult life.
It's Indonesian and this particular budget airline locally has been famous for having many issues. But it's cheap.

Yes it is. Throw enough money at it and you'll have contractors from all around the world flying in to do the work.

It's like how tech companies complain that they can't find candidates to fill their positions: yes you can, just pay >50% more than FAANG does, offer them good employment conditions and you'll have the people. You just can't find the people at the cost that you want to find them for.
Not OP, but...

Start by listening to something on my iPhone. Sit down and turn off music on my iPhone. Open up my laptop. It unlocks with my Apple Watch. I pop open iTunes or Spotify, hit play with my Air Pods still in. This could also work with my iPad as well. I open my iPad, stop playing stuff on my iPhone, and start playing something on my iPad. I shouldn't have to swap.

Apple knows it's me and knows which device I'm actively using.
They say that switching between Mac and iOS isn't as smooth and you have to go to the bluetooth menus. But switching between my iPad/iPhone/aTV has pretty much always been smooth for me. I do wish they'd do this for Mac too though.
That comment was about the first generation AirPods; the poster you replied to is asking about the just-announced second generation.
I am not as optimistic on the EU as you are. Reading 1984, before 1984, and growing up during the Cold War, definitely has shaped my thoughts on some of this, especially a single state or one-world government. A pan-European state, with one flag, it's own anthem, and the desire for a single army doesn't pass my sniff test of just being a multinational treaty cooperation, or a "democratically steered treaty union" as you write above. It points toward a bigger thing in action of that which some of its proponents oppose in their ideals. Trotsky pushed for a communist, soviet united states of Europe in 1923.
As far as AdSense goes, after reading the article a second time, I am not convinced of it being a forced monopoly (Apple iPhones and other options), and I see the fine as protectionist and not under antitrust violation. I see the same protectionism here in the US too.
I gave up an iPhone for an Android phone, because I think it gives me more choice to install what I want, to hack away at it, in a way that feels more free to me than when I had an iPhone (back in 2016, maybe it has changed?).
I've seen a lot of scaremongering but none of that was from lawyers.

My observations was most of the negativity came from a combination of the press writing slanted articles criticising the EU (which is fairly typical for anything relating to the EU, it seems) and blogs from people who assumed the worst case and subsequently wrote a hysteria-driven knee-jerk opinion piece as a result. Those blogs, I've found, are the worst examples because they're more likely to spread like a virus where people say "if they're worried then I should be to!" Where as these days people can dismiss the press a little easier if it doesn't confirm their cognitive bias.

That's just my opinion from what I've observed though. I'm not trying to claim anything as fact here.
Cute!

I personally object to loading progress bars that don't actually show progress. They just start over. I'm waiting for the bar to complete, then it repeats and I'm duh, they sure made a fool out of me.
While it's true that fractional scaling works differently on Linux and Windows, it's my understanding that many apps don't handle scaling well, or at all, over there.

Meanwhile on macOS basically any app scales properly - I think I have never seen one that doesn't. You can use fractional scaling on a mac, but in that case your whole output will be rendered in 5K and scaled down to the target resolution, which is of course an intensive task - I wouldn't recommend it and instead always use true 2x scaling.
Employees shouldn't join unions that don't exist for their benefit. And if a union doesn't benefit the workers, they should leave and start a new union.

This happened years ago in Netherland: many railway employees weren't happy with something their union (part of the largest union federation) negotiated for them, so they left and started a competing union to negotiate for them instead. Messy, embarrassing for the big union, but it solved the problem.

Not sure if the alternative union still exists or if it merged back into the large union again.
It’s a nice screed, but history has shown, time and time again, that monarchs and empires are the most stable form of government.
But unlike EU startups, US startups have the advantage of only having to to comply with EU regulation when they're at scale and profitable.

I actually like GDPR and would love it if it was made law worldwide, but right now that's not the case and with being EU only it comes at the cost of EU tech. And if the EU wishes to remain economically competitive with the US in the coming decades we're going to need tech and GDPR is yet another hurdle preventing us from achieve this.

Again, I'm not really arguing what should be, but from a purely pragmatic perspective I'd argue tech regulation isn't good for the already struggling economy of the EU.
Okay? They’ll be wrong too.

https://www.quotes.net/quote/36312

"The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of PI change."

Or, quoting the other aphorism, what is constant for someone is a variable for someone else.

What is run time for LISP (which lacked good compiler at early stages - the famous two horse asses width constraint) can freely be a compile time for other language. Or for a LISP, for that matter, in our time.

The compile time expansion allows for better (because faster) error checking.
"Long enough" is unfortunately very long because a large part of the fossile CO2 we emit will remain in the atmosphere until it is sequestered back underground by geological processes. These take thousands of years.
> Where maven dropped the ball is the myriad of maven plugin magic, maven's implicit lifecyle, and a pom.xml's Turing pits, etc.

Could you be a bit more concrete? I don't recognize any of your descriptions in my experience of maven.

There are probably some bad plugins out there, but as in any system the solution is not to use them.

The complete lifecycle is listed in the documentation, and it's all very common-sense.

pom.xml isn't meant to be Turing-complete, and if you try to use it like a Turing-complete build language you will get yourself in trouble (as many of the early Ant diehards did). You need to treat it as a declarative config file, no different from e.g. Cargo.toml.

> I just don't have the patience with wading through crap that 2003ish Java nerds thought would be a good idea. And increasingly, as Java libs get EOLd, this will be a major problem for monolithic Java apps with tens of submodules. I don't think you can expect younger devs to keep maintaining daddy-o's web framework crap and cleanup the mess left by Java heads.

It's just the opposite. I don't expect anyone to want to maintain Ant or Gradle builds in the future, since they can have any kind of crap in them. But Maven builds are forced to be kept sensible; the tool just isn't flexible enough to let you put crap in your build definition, by design. (If you really insist on doing crap you can make a crappy plugin, but your plugin is then forced to be versioned, tagged in VCS etc., so stands a better chance of being picked up by your organisation's normal code quality efforts).

Facebook's userbase is dropping steadily, so I would say that more people are realizing it isn't as great a piece of software as when they first made an account. We're not arguing Stackexchange vs 4chan, its one social network vs another anti-social network, one of which treats you like a gold mine, and the other couldn't care less. I know which one I'd rather use.

First thing I thought about was fluidizing the grass via forced air. Plenty of bulky stuff is handled fluidized. One good example is the hydraulic french fry maker where potatoes are fluidized using water and pushed through a slicing grate using the pressure and velocity of the flow. The water carries the french fries out of the other side just as easily.
"I think a lot of people who "do vegan right" end up just eat less processed crap in general and end up being healthy, not necessarily because of eating less/no meat."

I agree 100%. Some of the biggest benefits of any diet are obtained by getting back to simple foods and away from highly processed foods/carbs mixed with seed oils and sugars. Ditch that stuff and you'll likely do well on just about any diet.

In the second half of the article, the author talks about this:

> We can’t measure education’s social benefits solely with test scores or salary premiums. Instead we must ask ourselves what kind of society we want to live in—an educated one or an ignorant one?

> Normal human beings make a solid point: We can and should investigate education’s broad social implications. When humanists consider my calculations of education’s returns, they assume I’m being a typical cynical economist, oblivious to the ideals so many educators hold dear. I am an economist and I am a cynic, but I’m not a typical cynical economist. I’m a cynical idealist. I embrace the ideal of transformative education. I believe wholeheartedly in the life of the mind. What I’m cynical about is people.
