Some of the early versions of online courses like OCW weren't actually intended to be used "out of the box" as courses though. They were explicitly intended to be resources that teachers could use and adapt to create courses tailored to the needs of a group of students. (I'm not sure how much actual cross-pollination there was, but OCW would seem to have grown out of some of the same thinking as One Laptop per Child.)

As it turned out, OCW ended up overshadowed by the various straight to consumer MOOCs.

It needs to be able to (eventually), but it doesn't. Setting up a system where this was possible requires some significant changes to the tax code, process, and the IRS itself. Of course, this shouldn't stop us from trying.

I have echoic memory for audio, and that's indeed very useful.

But I don't have 'playback' memory for anything else, definitely not for visuals or touch. So if something is said around me and I didn't listen, I can replay the last couple of seconds or so, and that's usually enough. Helps with languages you're not fluent in too. But if I suddenly notice that I'm now touching something that I shouldn't, say, for example with my arm, in a crowded pub, there's just no way I can 'replay' history, not even the last moments, to figure out how that happened. Unless I actually paid attention when it happened. Same with visuals. If I didn't recognize what passed before my eyes there's no way to replay that to take a better look. Unlike with audio, where I can do precisely that.

I'd say within six months we would be back to the same tax system. People would either get a monthly bill or withholding would be reintroduced. Payroll processors would give people the option to do the withholding. As an experiment we could try to switch to withholding taxes on a quarterly basis. There would be lots of trouble as people hit that first quarter's reduced paycheck.

I'm unable to locate a resource indicating the pay, only a blurb that says prisoners must pay for their transportation (I'm sure that isn't marked up or anything...) and the pay rate must be at least minimum wage.

I'm guessing pay rate is a big part of the prisoners lack of enthusiasm.
The Ubiquiti access points and I assume some other brands use the following method to implement roaming:

All of the access points broadcast a certain SSID. When a client tries to connect, they coordinate with each other to choose which one will reply to that particular client. That is, the client things it is connected to one AP and doesn't know anything special is happening.

If the system wants to move your client to another AP it just disconnects you from the first AP and when you try to reconnect the second AP will reply to you.

In a case like that, assignment is driven as much as "having a clear channel" as "having a better connection on the channel". If you had a choice between two channels, once of which was shared and slightly "better" and another you can have to yourself, you are better off having one to
yourself. (That way you aren't having to wait for other clients to stop sending or receiving, dealing with interference, etc.)

A corollary to that is that if you have both 5GHz and 2.4GHz support on an access point you do best distributing clients between both sides, even if people think 5GHz is better or that 2.4GHz performs better in real life.

I am amazed that instead of all the silly gimmicks that APs have been marketed with, nobody has come out with one that has a lot of radios working on different channels and just behaves like a large number of APs. Practically I think this would work way better than channel aggregation.

2.4ghz also has 3 non overlapping channels (iirc). Most people use the default channel of their WiFi so if you choose a different channel you can get a better signal at a lower power.

Edit

If you want low coverage area it would also not be such a bad idea to use the 5ghz frequency if your router supports it. Much less crowded shorter range by default and higher speeds

While the 5.56 does improve with time and is lighter, the 6MM or .30 is still better IMHO. Were I given a choice between carrying an extra few pounds and having better terminal ballistics, I'll take that.

Being that the average Infantry loadout is still 6 30-round magazines and a pistol with 3 15-round magazines, I'll take the heavier 6MM or .30 since the weight difference is not that great.

The M-249 SAW is a fine weapon and I've used them several times. They are good for what they are designed for, which is laying down suppressive fire for a squad. I still agree with the Russian doctrine of one DM per squad. If every squad had long(er) range capability, this would go a long way to helping squads not have to call in LR support or use the SAW so much.

You're obviously an intelligent man, and I agree with you on some points, but you also have to remember that the Marines and Army do things differently. The tactics and weapons doctrines are much different. The Army does this better in some instances. I admire the FFL and how they do squad and platoon tactics. Those guys are extremely well trained, often better than us, and they don't tend to wait around for permission when the SHTF, something that has gotten many a soldier and Marine killed. Say what you want about the French or Russians, but they give their platoons much more leeway in combat ops. Americans, since Vietnam, need to have almost express permission to engage unless directly fired upon.

Having said all of this, I'm not a war planner or an expert, just one man's experience and observations. We (Americans) can and should learn from other forces. They often do things better. For example, we send the 82nd to French Guiana for jungle warfare. We send troops (A & M) to Israel to learn CQC. The Philippine Marines are likewise excellent jungle fighters.

Using the tax brackets to measure how much we pay in taxes is incorrect. There are things like Earned Income Credit and other credits that generally relieve the tax burden completely from lower income earners.

Unveiling the first-ever image of a black hole [video]
Generally these metal-glass joints use a sealant that also acts as an expansion joint. The California Academy of Sciences (that building with the grass on the roof with the circular windows) has a rainforest sphere made out of 8x8 foot panels, if you inspect the joints they are sealed with 1" of silicone caulking to account for different rates of expansion of the glass in four directions. This silicone caulking is almost the consistency of chewing gum.

Without that expansion joint, directly welded together, I'm curious how say, a Pixel 3 with the screen welded to the metal case would do. I can imagine a situation where the case and screen expand differently and end up cracking the screen.
I was just thinking about this. My idea was to have the power low enough so that WIFI is restricted to a very small area of the house. It would be like a smoking area, except it would be for WIFI usage. For personal application, I wanted to create a WIFI-free zone for the family in the living room and other common area, so that we're less distracted, while we have WIFI in the other parts of the house. Of course, we still get 4G signal, but it is very weak where I live, and we are also on pre-pay plan on Tracfone so we are discouraged from using data on 4G.

Well, yeah, but there's always another video you can watch.

The problem is more the overall devaluing of content prices by consumers generally. Especially absent much in the way of certification value for most people, that places a real ceiling on how much you can charge. I might pay something in the neighborhood of book pricing for an online course (or I may take one of the numerous free alternatives). But I'm unlikely to pay triple digits and I certainly won't pay thousands of dollars.

It's incredible what friends, family and coworkers have told me they're able to do with visual imagery. A large portion of them could overlay imaginary objects over the real world. My wife, who may be hyperphantasic, can spend hours watching TV shows/cartoons she's created in her head. She has no idea what it's like to think without visualization.

We Spoke to an MIT Computer Scientists About the Simulation Hypothesis
Technically that power strategy works but in the real world clients don't want to wait a long interval to connect and boosting the power on a short interval creates more RF chaos than you are trying to solve.

There are many standards to assist in roaming such as .11k, v, and r. Particularly for mesh nodes s. In the end the strategy used in Wi-Fi is that the end station is the one that decides when to roam and why. Again it comes down to the client knows more information about what it could connect to and when it makes sense for it to roam than the AP could. The AP can just send hints that it'd like it off of it for other clients benefits.

Many Enterprise systems come with the ability to tune power the same way they can automatically tune channels. Usually they tune against other APs rather than clients since AP positions and emissions are much more static and controlled by the same system (normally).

Not saying I don’t commiserate - but it kind of makes sense - you underpaid us during the course of the year by $4,600, assuming you make the same again next year, we need you to pay us quarterly to make up the estimated shortfall - if it turns out you overpaid we’ll true you up (via a refund)
You have a point there. I am mechanical engineer now doing software and I really miss seeing and touching(!) the final product. When I did commercial software at least you saw something on the screen quickly. Now I am in medical devices and I almost never get to witness or experience the results of my work. When you are done with something it still takes often years to get it to market. Add to that all the reporting requirements and the actual work is totally detached from the product.

I definitely miss direct contact with the results of my work.

Ask HN: Is there life after 40?
I am not 40 yet, only turned 36 couple of days ago. However, I am desperate and in need of advice.

I think I made a mistake when I was younger and chose a career path of a database administrator, even though I always enjoyed programming more. Moreover, I still do some programming, mostly for fun: little side projects, some codewars, some codefights, screeps. I really enjoy working with JavaScript and it's infrastructure: git, npm and all that. I also have experience with a lot of other languages, like PHP, python, basic/vb, pascal/delphi, c++ and do lot of shell scripting, PL/SQL programming, SQL and SQL tuning at work.

The problem is, I am 36. I can not switch jobs, because it would mean to get back to junior salaries, which really looks like a super bad option and bad decision + there would probably be more yesterday students, who would be happy to get this junior role.

So what I wanted to ask is what would you do if you were me. Please, do not tell me to kill myself or keep rotting at my current job/position/career path.

Thank'all.

> Without the painful transparency, it becomes too easy for the government to nearly invisibly turn up the tax rate on individuals to pay for whatever boondoggle or foreign war they see fit.

This narrative is based on nothing. The overall tax rate has been basically flat bouncing between 15% and 20% since WWII[1].

> This works if everyone has a exactly one job at all times that is their sole source of income, but fails otherwise.

The current W4 form takes dual income/second jobs into account and adjusts the withholding based on that. Changing that withholding to a credit based on income, number of jobs, dependents, etc wouldn't be any worse than it is now, but eliminating the 1040 and other associated forms would definitely be a big benefit.

> even in the case it works, address the problem that a regressive tax with a flat credit is...still a regressive tax.

We have tax brackets now based on income level. Would basing a credit on similar income brackets be any different? Or are you claiming that out current tax system is regressive and my proposal wouldn't fix the underlying issue?
