I don't know when you last tried to engage in winter sports and public transport, but to carry all that equipment to and from public transport is a lot of work. Even with Ubers at either end of the train, it's still a lot of work shifting all the bags.
>Is "make more money" the best criterion we can find for determining what educational paths should be encouraged and supported?

First, that is quite a different question than the one I was answering. When someone is asked what is the best way to eat an elephant and tries to give an answer, mentioning that people shouldn't eat elephants is a comment better directed at the person asking the original question and not the one answering.

Second, no, but we also have scholarships and such which reduce cost for those deemed having potential that isn't restricted just to making money. It would be unwise to overlook the increase in earning potential being the reason so many college students justify taking on their degree, and it would also be unwise to insist that the college experience is the path for those who want a general purpose education without a specific purpose.

Third, that figuring out how to trick more people into buying something is a more lucrative career than something that advances human society is an indictment of humanity at large. Is colleges promoting beneficial courses (based on what ever definition you go with) over lucrative ones really benefiting society when it leaves the student without the ability to earn money in a society that runs on money?
How do we push back on these agencies for their obvious flawed process?
There weren't. The Greeks had a legend about a tribe of warrior-women who lived in the forest and were known as the "Amazons", and when the Spanish first found what we now know as the Amazon forest the natives tried to fight them off.

The spanish conquistadores were so impressed by the fact that the indigenous women fought together with the men that they started calling the place the "forest of the Amazons", after the old Greek myth. The name stuck. But there was never an actual tribe called the "Amazons".

The analogy breaks down because the complexity in org-mode is completely optional.

You don't have to use or even know of all of org-mode's features in order to use it. You could use a tiny subset of features and still have a valid org-mode file which is as simple as any other markdown format.

In fact, that's exactly how most people use it. But if they want more power, it's there.

What's more likely to be the reason for org-mode's lack of adoption is that most people don't use emacs.
Turning off JavaScript sometimes helps, but often just breaks the site. However, I also have a button to turn off CSS, which just flips a setting (dead simple addon, no security risk, can't break anything, and doesn't need a page refresh). I use it about once a week for articles with too low contrast, annoying fonts (this is getting better over the past year or so), or crappy sites like this.

The article after turning off CSS: https://snag.gy/RmXpxl.jpg

To my surprise, without JS the layout stayed the same, only the annoying elements on top and bottom when scrolling are no longer there. That's actually perfect in this case.

It's really weird to notice all the JavaScript still functioning despite just having transformed the site from Google to motherfuckingwebsite-style. The add-on I use: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/css-toggler/
The plugin is open source and I have automatic updates disabled. And you can always use it without the plugin just fine.

Fair point.

Though I would suggest that one of the strengths of Markdown is the fact that the basics are simple and easy to understand and it leaves more advanced concepts to specific implementations. So there are implementations for everything from code comments (https://www.hackingwithswift.com/example-code/language/how-t...) to Script Writing (https://fountain.io) which have features specific to their respective domains. Markdown itself doesn't have a huge featureset but the sub-markup languages which inherit from it do.

Edit: What I find more confusing about Markdown is actually incomplete implementations like what's used by HN.
I cant find in the documentation what kind of algorithms they are using? Is it only one algorithm type (neural network)?
This was one of my goals in building https://statesreport.com. It won't necessarily be the first site to break news, but the goal is to provide better news based on NLP + ML classification.
I don’t disagree but that’s somewhat out of scope for Kubernetes I’d argue. The benefits or costs are varied and not simply explained. It’s probably best to just differ the docs for each runtime and have them explain it instead.
Another common error I see is timing (e.g. using data from the "future" to predict an event). To build on your loan example, if you inadvertently included the current FICO score of an applicant that applied 12 months ago, it will be unfairly correlated with the loans current performance.
A friend of mine in med school said they did their autopsy on someone with sleep apnea and the man's diaphragm was unusually thick. I myself have sleep apnea and my allergist was surprised how hard I could blow into her breath measuring thing. Not off the charts but high enough that she noticed.

I guess there are other reasons to be on CPAP, but that's my personal datapoint.

(Imagine how strong your diaphragm would be if you spent a third of your life breathing through a crushed straw.)
I recently discovered Coder's open source version of their web-based IDE (https://github.com/codercom/code-server). It's pretty much VS Code in the browser, which is almost exactly what I was looking for. You just download the binary, point it to a folder and it works exactly the way you would expect (including the terminal running under the account the server runs as so you get to keep your shell of choice and all that fun stuff).
They’ve both checked out long ago, particularly Sergey.
I just clicked thinking this as real (just like past) to find out not found error. But I think this makes a nice side project to train an ML classifier to call news titles - NotNews
> I understand your criticism of my argument, that in this case only what is popular would be available but not what is niche and interesting.

That too, but my point was mostly that barriers would hinder the business. Even if people could afford to pay, they don't want to, and there will be a place next door where they don't have to. The problem will be solved insofar that the users migrate away, and take the problems with them - and the ad revenue ;)

> and that would cost more money than what is happening now, it is up to youtube how they choose to recover that cost.

Youtube _makes_ money off of this sort of manipulation, they have literally no interest in stopping it. They just want the PR problem to go away.

> 2+ hours per day commuting? BART from Berkeley to Powell St station is 30 minutes.

1 hour on/waiting for BART + ~40 minutes walking between your house and BART + ~20 minutes walking between BART and your job gets pretty close to 2 hours.

Car cost is indeed high, but if you have a kid you'll probably need one and then you have to factor in the cost of childcare... $2k/month?
The article lists some examples of Google's traditionally open culture becoming more closed, and then states this "has some employees wondering whether Google’s traditionally open culture will hold up."

It seems clear that it's already not as open as it once was. How much more closed does it need to become before employees stop wondering?

No. I have a keypad on my door. So when I take a trip by air (which is common), I just leave my keys at home. But I agree that my scenario may not be super common.
>> All Android devices certified by Google will have a hardware security module which should keep the keys secure.

Source? I understood that having a HW-backed key store is still entirely optional for the purpose of Android certification.

On top of that, I noticed some ambiguity on whether a TEE like ARM TrustZone qualifies as a hardware-grade protection mechanism in the same way a discrete and dedicated crypto processor is (I think the two technologies provide very different assurance levels).
> I am not arguing for any side, but I do acknowledge that the Amazonian community's right to the name rests on a very good argument.

I'm also not arguing for any side, but I don't think your "bond" argument is particularly convincing. Namely, it strikes me as too vague in the general case and thus too hard to adjucate. The things you use to nail it down (tribe, home, history) are specific to this case, but don't generalize well. Even if you were able to address those problems, it doesn't compell me to think that these people deserve the English name for the geography in question (perhaps especially if those people don't really identify with the geography in question, but rather as nations who happen to live in that geography?).

In any case, it's a puzzling and interesting question.
To add to your comment there are pinball leagues in most cities now. Even if you haven't played since you were young it's still fun to go check them out.
I think there are a lot of policy changes that could make massive strides towards resolving this. A significantly higher marginal tax rate and a wealth tax would reduce the amount of wealth available to gift. Lowering the amount of money that can be gifted legally would reduce the amount of support that could be offered. Free education and healthcare (and potentially a UBI), forgiving student loans, and some combination of rent control and improved zoning laws (and possibly vacancy taxes) would ameliorate most of the problem areas that people get help with and that cause this resentment.

I disagree that this is essentially an emotional problem. This is essentially an inequality problem; the inequality (unsurprisingly) breeds resentment, and trying to fix the resentment without fixing the inequality is just slapping a bandage over a sucking chest wound.
How do you scale a company to 100K people while maintaining accountability for both management and engineers on top of preventing leaks? Are there examples of companies doing this while maintaining an open culture? Even assuring 99.999% of people do the correct thing leaves someone.
> they probably did it to others.

They all do it to everybody. They're careful to make sure there's nothing/nobody to sue - the stock options are offered by an S-corporation, which then goes "out of business". You can sue the now out-of-business S-corporation if you'd like, but it has no value, being out of business.
Lol, a month for the first offence?

Seriously in Denmark you get 20 days suspended prison if your are above 2.0 for a first offense. If you are above 1.2 you lose your license for a minimum of 3 years. If below 2, your fine is "only" your net salary for the month....
>Education has value independent of any increase in earning potential.

And it can be gained independent of college and independent of educating oneself for a career as well. It is easy for someone going to college to get both a degree in something that will allow them financial freedom in the future and to learn all sorts of topics that employers would not care about.
Looks like this adds to the evidence that our ancestors left Africa in a diaspora much, much earlier than had previously been thought, especially as this is far from their original continent.

>people who use CPAPs? About a third of their life their diaphragm isn't needing to exert nearly as much force for them to inhale.

Most recent advancements in CPAP is to provide as little pressure as possible while still keeping the airway open. Higher air pressure increases discomfort and undermines compliance, and the effect is huge. The pressure never goes up high enough to force the diaphragm to move, sooner the mask will fly off the face.
I had a similar discussion with someone after a small spat broke out over authenticity and the dreaded cultural appropriation of ... food.

Things we associate with a place, or people, a culture, or a nation can at times be surprisingly recent or not quite as we might assume or have origins we might not expect. Food in particular that gets associated with one group of people often has origins in far off places that you might not expect. Key aspects of those might have only recently been used and their origins might be the other side of the world. So what is authentic and who really "owns" that thing when everyone is combining and experimenting?

Capital P “Project management” is about control, and usually isn’t a value add in small orgs, unless you are managing subcontractors.

How to take a picture of a black hole – Katie Bouman [video]
Sigh. I work at Google, and this is vastly overblown.

Larry and Sergey don't work at Google anymore. They're much more laissez-faire, working on special projects across Alphabet. They don't make most of the decisions that effect Google employees, and don't have answers to most of the questions that are asked. That was the entire point of promoting Sundar, after all: so Larry could step away from Google.

And finally, Larry and Sergey being at TGIF's undermines Sundar's authority. He's the one making decisions, and he's where the buck stops, but having the cofounders there creates an uncomfortable dynamic and makes it seem like they have a larger role than they do.

So it's not a matter of "courage" and "accountability" as much as corporate governance and priority changes. There's no drama buried here.
I'll take a stab:

1) News is an account (story) of an event. The degree with which it is "true" is the degree with which it holds the events to account, and the degree with which the news organization/publisher holds itself accountable for that account/story. Good news is accountable and provides accounts of events. "Truth" is the wrong focus; "fact" is far too malleable (hence the status-quo legitimacy of "alternative facts"); accountability is the goal.

2) A journalist is someone who writes accounts/stories for a news organization/publisher and, in turn, is held accountable (either professionally or legally) for their story. Anyone can be a journalist, but few are willing to hold themselves to the standards of accountability good journalism demands.

3) The division between news and op-ed is marked by the degree and nature of accountability. News organizations are accountable for the news. News organizations call for op-eds and those op-eds have a different standard of accountability. That's why we call them op-eds. If a news organization will not hold itself accountable for a story then it is an op-ed.

We are far too focused on "truth" "fact" and "objective vs subjective". Instead we should focus on what the use of journalism and the news is. The use is accountability. And the special nature of news and journalism, what differentiates it from fiction and bullshit, is that it is also held to standards of accountability.
"Poor quality" would probably apply to most tech projects too :-). Most of the stuff we produce is short term and disposable.
Is that because millionaires are prepared to give large donations to universities (especially if their kids get a place at the university in return), while they're not so generous when it comes to funding roads and bridges which are used by poor people?
The Lindy effect is a concept that Taleb talks a lot about. Basically the best estimate of how long anything perishable will remain useful is how long its been around already. ie the stuff that will remain useful in 10-50 years are the ideas/texts/plays/ideas that have been around a long time already. Recent news is likely worthless in an equally short time.

So best to learn from centuries or millennia old books, rather than looking at twitter feed - or breaking news.

>Universal college education is still a great idea, even if it lowers the value of an individuals degree across the broader society.

This is assuming the actual standards for a degree aren't lowered to achieve the goal of universal college education. That's why I bring up high school diplomas where the standards to graduate were lowered to increase the percentage of people with a degree. The end result was damage done to the degree and to the education that is needed for the degree. See the modern day nightmare of standardized testing preparation instead of education.
The on-chip stack on the 6502 was not intended to be used for implementing the stack for programming language procedure calls; it was intended to provide system extension functions that provide things missing in the 6502 instruction set,(for example, multiply), which had to be implemented with multiple instructions. For "modern" languages like C, 16-bit 2's complement integer arithmetic was expected but the 6502 native instructions were for 8-bit numbers.
We're talking about the difference between barely usable and unusable here. No system in the world has ever been slimefest of the scale of Windows. Even those which are deployed more than Windows.

I generously based this on one income. If we need childcare then we presumably have a second income?

I realize that single parent households do exist, but we're not covering every case here.

You don't need to spend $10k/year to have a car. This is pretty trivially provable because there are lots of people who own cars who clearly wouldn't be able to do so if that were the case.
There are a lot of conversations about road trips in a Tesla. I have a Model S and have done a few. I honestly believe that is indeed an increased hassle to stop for Supercharging every few hours. I have done it a few times, and these days mostly take my ICE vehicle for long road trips. But, having said, my long road trips (> 250miles) are once in every 3-4 months. And my daily driving is, well, daily. And this where Tesla blows everything else out of the water. Convenience of Autopilot, Home charging, carpool access, a 21st century UI, constantly improving features. 100x better than my ICE vehicle, and I will choose Tesla every time, even with the drawbacks of long road trips.

Clickbait headline that is explained within the article itself:

The cofounders planned to step back their Google involvement when they formed Alphabet in 2015 ... The idea was to give Google CEO Sundar Pichai the ability to assert his own leadership during a tumultuous time.

I agree with your sentiment, but understand his as well. I think it's mostly a cultural problem rather than some instinctual problem with humanity. Japan has a culture of cleanliness as far as I can tell. In my area, however, a handful practices seem to persist because of the fun derived from exploiting the commons.
Personally I would much rather watch someone play videogames than listen to someone play guitar, but that might be an unpopular opinion and I agree with you that actually writing music is more artistically creative than what you can do with the vast majority of videogames.

We can probably agree the type of game matter. To me the skill that people display when expertly playing a real-time strategy game is really interesting and takes a certain kind of tactical/strategic genius to do well. It is basically speed chess with a lot more rules and space for creativity.

You've definitely got a point that guitar probably is a better way to impress most of the ladies.

I just want to make the additional point that video games are how a lot of us began our interest in computers that later turned into a fulfilling career. Many people first experienced a command line while installing DOS games. The modern equivalent is probably modding PC games, which can take a lot of technical literacy depending on the game.

I still don't think CNN or MSNBC are as bad as Fox News yet. Sean Hannity is basically Alex Jones-lite, and Tucker Carlson is pretty much completely disingenuous (and if you want to talk about us-versus-them, I recommend counting the number of times he says "elites" during his show). Plus, Fox and Friends is pretty much just an elaborate propaganda program for the president at this point.

Even if you agree with Trump's policies (I don't), I cannot see how anyone could not see the blatent and purposeful right-wing propaganda of Fox.
