You can visit a university for a supervised exam at the end of a course. Exam sessions held even twice a year would allow people studying at different paces plan their time.

But you don't need to sit in the lecture halls. You can study where, when, and as much as it fits your life. (I stopped visiting most lectures after the sophomore year; I got an MD w/ honorable mentions nevertheless. I just studied more efficiently by myself.)

This system will likely result in your having many diplomas, for each significant course, and maybe a grand diploma for having a set of course diplomas and e.g. doing a master's work. But you can mix and match much more easily, and manage your time more flexibly.

The only losing side would be athletes. They'd have to find a different way to organize into minor leagues.

If you want to understand how to make people’s lives better, first you have to go out and actually live.

Scrappy college kids making a startup don’t know how to live, they’ve just barely lived. And a lot of professionals in tech have no lives outside of work and tech: Wake up and go work in tech. Go home and go read about tech. Attend a party and talk about tech.

How can we expect these Silicon Valley people to create anything that makes life better? All they can do is make cheap permutations of the same tired ideas that have passed through the lips of wanna-be gonna-be entrepreneurs for decades. Ask them: This product makes my life better? Better for what exactly?

Here’s a man who understood that life is a bit better when you can bite into a tasty and juicy Vidalia Onion. This is something you can only know if you stop and take some time to live.
A lot of sensitive data processing isn’t done by engineers or developers, it’s done by data scientists, statisticians and economists. How do they plan to handle that?
One way I remember how to spell it is to start from “warranty” which is almost the same word and much easier to spell, then replace the “w” with “gu” (in some languages they’re mostly the same sound) then replacing the “y” with “ee” isn’t so hard to remember

I haven't been involved in abstract math in close to a decade, but I think it's a description of the (general) inner product. So, a generalization of the dot product.

It's been my experience, as a long-time Linux user, that this is actually a bad thing. Stateless systems are far easier to work with -- a package manager can be far faster and simpler if it just extracts an archive. I can't think of a single case where post-installation configuration scripts couldn't be replaced by something simpler, using the filesystem.
I would have been mad. Heck, I'm mad just reading that. It's bad management. If you are going to use metrics you have to know that they are going to create perverse incentives.

Here is a relevant interview with journalist Steven Pearlstein in which he suggests that current conditions only support 7-9 global journalism outlets worldwide, with only 2 or so non-partisan and fact-based, mostly for the upper classes.

Encouraging dissent is a small piece of what is needed. Developers must certainly consider the moral and ethical consequences of their work, but most situations are not going to be black and white, and no matter how diabolical a project might be, there is always a way to rationalize it. What is most needed is widespread public debate among those who understand the technologies in order to form consensus on appropriate directions of development. Any consensus then needs to be effectively communicated to the public and to policy makers. This helps everyone, including developers, make better decisions about what they should or should not support. Forums such as HN and various blogs can foster debate, but there seems to be a need for a more consolidated approach that someone needs to establish. As far as communicating consensus goes, I think that nonprofit organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation can be a good conduit, but they need more widespread support from the technical community.
One of the things that always irked me about the term "linear transformation" is it doesn't include affline transformations, which is funny because back in elementary school, you learn that a "linear equation" looks like Mx + b. Of course, the article states the term "linearity" when talking vector spaces (or modules) means linearity in arguments, while the term linear for a child in school means "something like a line on graph paper", and this is yet another example of terminology in the way mathematics is taught, possibly for historical reasons, that leads to even more confusion.

PS. incase you didn't know, affline transformations are not linear:

f(x) = mx + b =>
f(x+y) = m(x+y) + b /= mx+b + my+b = f(x) + f(y),
f(cx) = c m x + b /= c(mx + b) = c f(x)
Paint ticks a lot of nostalia boxes, but it really isn't very good even for the "draw box/arrow/text" on a screenshot purpose that most people use it for. It's annoying that it doesn't have a "paste as new image" option so I have to crop whatever I pasted in. Plus, whatever I draw goes on the background layer so I can't fiddle with it.

And just so people don't get the wrong idea, yes I hate new things too. Paint 3D is stupid. And why did Snipping Tool, which was almost decent, get replaced by Snip & Sketch which does absolutely nothing better?
I would argue that anything which "works" via fuse doesn't really work. That goes exponentially so for cxfuse.
Hmm. With a video, you can pause it and go google for details.

Asking a professor is likely more efficient. It's still not as easy — you need to break his/her flow, and the professor must have enough spare time to answer.

Also, when you do more yourself you pay less; it can be important.

From my experience, going through harder parts of a textbook with a motivated friend or two works best.

So you’re saying the export control policies with regard to encryption were good. Interesting.
It's not a blatant lie. There is probably no default install in which I would not feel it absolutely necessary to change every credential stored on a system if it ever ran a compromised binary and a new install from scratch.

At best you are hoping that the malicious binary someone tricked you into running didn't also take advantage of an additional vulnerability to compromise everything. Keeping in mind that your adversary has every opportunity to test against the same environment you are running.

The only linux environment that I've aware of that takes isolation really seriously is qubes and even that isolation could be violated in theory.

I want desktop applications to have features that right now require substantial permissions to effect. The primary defense is and will likely remain not to install malicious software in the first place by installing from curated sources.

> Newspapers used to be the gateway of fast changing information.

Wrong answer!

Here's the correct answer: Newspapers used to have a monopoly on advertising. They could extract enormous sums of money from advertisers due to this.

Most towns had a single newspaper, because the nature of the newspaper business generally led to a natural monopoly. Big cities had maybe had two or three newspapers.

Newspaper owners lost their monopoly. No more overpriced classifieds!

No more money gushing in!

Yeah, if you do not have the KDE libraries already, installing any program that uses them will give you this package vomit. One way to manage this is to do apt-get install kolourpaint and then close your eyes, press enter, y, enter enter enter (repeat enter around 30 times or so, depending on your terminal size), open your eyes, type exit and go watch a couple "top 10" videos on youtube or something.

After that you can use Kolourpaint.
Yes, really. If you don't like the above examples, there are plenty of grisly incidents from the early history of engineering for railroads, aviation, automotives, and spaceflight to pick from. For example, the Apollo 1 crew burned alive during a flight rehearsal gone wrong (https://www.space.com/17338-apollo-1.html) because of poor engineering decisions. All of them were trying to improve people's lives or achieve something new for humanity.

You just reinvented journalists, because it doesn't really matter if they're in the room or not. It's the picking through hours and hours of meetings and making something meaningful from those pickings, and maybe talking to some people outside the room too.

There are at least two problems with this:

- "I'm sure there are managers and engineers crying in private in every big company out there": You're not excusing google here, just expanding the range of companies whose apparent behavior is mortifying a couple of people in this thread.

- "Google probably does some things very well to keep all the talent despite the negative press it gets.": probably. They probably do a lot of a/b testing to dial in the compensation/retention ratio they're looking for, or maybe they just heap rewards onto engineers because they can afford it. Be that as it may, some people think that what google's doing is detrimental to society, or at least the problems are bigger than a salary or even a total compensation package should make up for.

> how can we morally justify taking money from others at gunpoint to make things "fairer"?

How do we justify it for paying for our common defense (the military), theoretically blind justice (the court system), public roads and infrastructure, critical public health programs? The answer is that if we don't, there would be dire consequences. It's not so different for the consequences of high inequality, or as someone recently put it cheekily: the Hamptons are not defensible ground.

However, you appear to be conflating taxation as a method of raising government revenue with the question of whether a society should have have resource redistribution of any kind.

Can you propose an alternate mechanism for raising government revenue, other than by threat of seizing it?

Or perhaps you simply oppose governments raising revenue at all, and by consequence, the existence of government itself?

We have many contemporary examples of societies that lack the ability to centrally tax and raise revenue. What happens in these places is revenue still gets raised, but in a decentralized way, and usually with the threat of real violence.

It's a Caltech and Stanford thing. MIT isn't really elite.
I disagree. It's more about how often or how deeply you need to leverage information. Having facts in one's brain for immediate integration and synthesis matters to the translator or chemist, for instance.

By having information in your brain, your subconscious self will have worked out how to apply it in clever and novel ways as an extension of your problem solving capacity.

You can see it in your daily life too - for instance, you might occasionally find yourself programming with a new container or data structure library. The interface is hopefully simple enough to figure out at a glance, and you can look up things you don't know. But you'll likely move slower than if you had known the tool like the back of your hand. And more importantly, the lack of familiarity prevents your brain from being able to fully work at the level of the problem, since it's now forced to juggle with all the new information about the shape and behavior of the API.

I wonder if libraries can have some journalists on staff? Or a librarian that is part time librarian, part time journalist. As far as bias...it's hard to be unbias. Maybe there's some questionnaire that determines your bias, and libraries hire journalist that have different bias so they can keep each other in check. The funding would of course, but local taxes.
Tech people should get it out of their heads that the stewards of industry follow the same virtuous passions that got these techies into tech in the first place.

Second that opinion. Local media is crucially important. Not least as it serves as a public record in an edited and readable form, moreover, most journalists at the “big” papers also have a background in local press. That’s where you learn the ropes and the craft of reporting.

Think about why an investment property might sit empty. At first glance, that seems absurd. An investor wants to earn money, and rent would be one way to get that.

As high as rents might be, they are clearly not enough to put these properties on the market. Find the cause and fix it.

Possible causes: too difficult to evict non-paying tenants, too difficult to sue tenants for damages, too many expensive upgrades required (fire protection, disability access, etc.), too difficult to avoid getting sued by the government, etc.
