>Your position is that of _if we cannot solve 100% of a problem, there is no use to solving 95%_ which is clearly a false dichotomy.

No, my position is that if 5% of a problem (5 out of 100 people seeing it) is equally catastrophic as 100%, then it makes no sense to differentiate, which is a very true dichotomy.

The fact that just 1 person that's not supposed to see it seeing it can do damage, makes the problem a binary and not a spectrum.
Didn't windows used to distribute BSD code? The old EULAs used to mention the regents of berkley. Was that the Windows kernel or some network stack?
When you start selling into very large enterprise, there are enormous behind-the-scenes requirements that are very expensive to develop. Compliance features, for instance.
If you only have Federal loans (which are about 90% of total disbursements), you will qualify for income based repayment. That means that you will never pay more than 10% of any income over 1.5x the Federal poverty level.

It will also be cancelled after 20 years of payments.

I would vastly prefer more direct subsidies though.

That guy said there were only 16 of them, the archeologist said he found hundreds.
The entire legislature still has to vote on the law though, and lobbyists are never meeting with all, or even more than a few, specific representatives. I would say a much bigger problem is the towing of the party line - whatever senior members propose, junior members vote for, else they risk being ousted from their party.

Also, I have always found the blaming of lobbyists odd: I am confused by the blaming of lobbyists for presenting their agenda to a legislator, who then promotes that agenda, leading to the passing of a law that is pro-that-agenda. I would place all the blame on the legislators. It’s like, if I approach my boss and ask for excessive raises over and over, and wine and dine her, and then I keep getting those raises, should my co-workers be far more mad at me or my boss? It seems to me it is my boss’s fault for giving the raise, as she holds all the real power, not my fault for asking. She has the duty to decline if the request is improper. I do not believe I have a duty to not make my case, despite probably being scummy. What I am doing may be frowned upon, but if my boss is swayed by a few compliments and a donation to her charity of choice, she probably should not be the boss. The same goes for legislators - stop voting for the dummies with no scruples, and stop thinking it is the fault of anyone other than the people who actually vote for these hypothetical bills that result in so many one-sided, pro one-company-or-religion-or-whateveror, awful laws.

I personally feel lobbyists are scummy, but I fail to see them as blameworthy in regards to the laws we actually end up with.
>using fancy language where fancy language isn’t called for

That's not what "pompous" means but it is exactly what "pretentious" means. For some reason OP ignored that part of the definition.
I have drawn a personal line a long time ago. I do not use amazon at all. No PayPal, Hollywood, local restaurants without union contract for the employees and so on. The union have a search app to keep tab on what restaurants are ok. (Sweden only though). We don't have much laws for companies, the unions have to agree with the company organisations for a lot of the rules.
The most recent research suggests the thrust was real, sort of, but not a reactionless effect.

> And now it seems that the previously detected thrust was illusory, at least according to a team of researchers in Germany. They built their own EmDrive and tested it in a vacuum chamber, as the NASA researchers did.

> The German team picked something up as well. But follow-up analysis "clearly indicates that the 'thrust' is not coming from the EmDrive but from some electromagnetic interaction," the researchers wrote in their new study, which you can read here. That interaction is likely between EmDrive power cables and Earth's magnetic field, the team concluded.

Custom Text Classification and Extraction for Businesses
https://alazia.dev
I am building a product that can help businesses extract entities from their data(NER), and classify their data according to tags provided by them. It is different from Google NLP as it will be more of a specific solution for teams and industries, with pre-trained models and tags defined accordingly. Eg - Model for classifying legal cases according to text, extracting legal keywords etc.
I would really appreciate if the community can provide their inputs and whether it can be useful according to them. Thank you!
When teachers do this, they teach students to think that having a fuzzy understanding about the foundations of the subject is normal rather than something that should raise an internal alarm bell. At the very least, teachers should minimize damage by announcing clearly when they've stopped explaining and started just giving a prescription, and point the students to the place where they can actually learn what's going on.
Well of course, it's Rand.
That doesn't make the degrees bullshit, though, it merely means that studying the respective field is less likely to be very economically rewarding. You need to make a difference between practical life advice and evaluations of areas and disciplines, or otherwise you'd also have to say that Vincent van Gogh and H.P. Lovecraft were total losers. They weren't. Wittgenstein gave away most of his inherited wealth when he was a young man. That doesn't make him an idiot either.

That being said, there are some crappy degrees out there. Some disciplines are mostly just watered down philosophy and I'd go for philosophy instead anytime.
Speaking of usernames...
If i understand long polling right, then it one request which does not end (not connectio) and keeps receiving or sending information. So processing of multiple headers does not apply.

I would highly recommend SketchUp for this kind of simple 3d 'sketching'. It's highly intuitive and well documented.

It was bought from Google a while back by a company called Trimble who made it kind of shit, but there are .exes for Google SketchUp 8 floating around. This lets you export in a wide variety of formats and runs beautifully in an XP VM if you are of the Linux persuasion
In your opinion, do:

"there's not really anything applicable in the book to reality or how people act"

...and...

"there's not really anything original in the book that is applicable to reality or how people act"

...have equal meanings?

One could easily make the latter claim about plenty of books, if you're happy to ignore a different (original) perspective, and if there was no need to substantiate the claim.

> But more often than not it often misapplies grounded social or civil concepts that would otherwise be valid.

Could you possibly provide a few examples of this?

> Which is what's happening right in OP's post. It's civic misinformation.

From my perspective, I believe your comment does the same to some degree. To an individual with no background in the matter, they have no way of knowing which of these contrasting and vague/unsubstantiated opinions (aka gossip) is more factual.

EDIT: It's a bit depressing how unpopular pointing out objective errors and asking for substantiations of claims is becoming on HN, especially on particularly relevant original topics such as this. No site is immune I guess.
One of the guys running DE Shaw has a psychology degree. One of their early hires had an undergrad degree in English romantic poetry. Pretty sure they're doing OK.

IMO most talented/flexible degree per year studied is electrical engineering.

Best degree is no degree though. One Vitalek or Bram Cohen is worth 10000 Harvard computer science graduates.
Fewer people learning humanities is a bad thing. Fewer people putting themselves in debt slavery for humanities to perpetuate the economics of the college bubble is a very good thing.

These things aren't binary (more humanities bad! more humanities good!), and it's a disservice to the topic to treat them as such.
What exactly are you disagreeing with? The comment you're replying to basically says: "it is unsustainable in the long term" and your response is basically: "it is sustainable in the short term" which is effectively equivalent.

Again, I simple stated what the OPs argument was. If you are downvoting me because you disagree with the original post, you aren’t clear on how to use HN.

As to your other questions, if I use the phone more I’m more likely to buy a new phone, buy more cloud storage, download and buy more apps, generate referral sales by other people seeing me use the product, drop the phone requiring Apple repairs, the list goes on.

Apple wants to develop a deep relationship with their users, so in Nearly every case using the products more is to their benefit.

The more you rely on the products the more free attention you spend in their eco-system, and the more likely you will spend money that they will get a % of.

I think some others have laid out the argument for how the Apple solution is less effective than others, so I’ll let that stand and not rehash it here.

Whether or not this is the actual motivation for Apple is unclear, but the incentives are clear that they’d want you to use your phone vs not using it.

Western democracies are very good at monitoring and subduing radicals. This is not something anyone in the Western world worries about.

Keep-alive connections still require processing a full HTTP request for every request. This is documented in RFC6202 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6202#section-2.2

The connection overhead is removed but that is only one of the various overheads that exist.

edit: I understand your question a bit differently after reflecting on it more. I think you may be saying that 1 connection never ends in long-polling. This is not the case and is only this way if keep-alive is used.

Each server->client data exchange happens by "completing" the request and the client is configured to immediately make a new request. This means every message (or groups of messages depending on your tolerances) is a completed HTTP request.
Apps which request access to ScreenTime data show up in a consent list in the parental controls UI.

However, the kinds of data exposed likely would be the output of the screen time processing system, not the raw data. So these apps would get different UI widgets showing the same data Apple is displaying.

I agree for catastrophic mistakes. It doesn't mean the feature is rendered useless for the non catastrophic ones.

Which one occurs more often than the other, that's another question, but I'd argue that the later is more common, and there is no doubt that people knew, in the event they wrote a very catastrophic secret, the limitations of the edition/deletion of messages (as long as most people nowadays seem to know about screenshots being a thing)
Political radicals are also at home on both wings at the same time. Radical right by day, radical left by night.

The web site is thin.

IBM, Google, Amazon, fast.ai, and many others have services that claim to do this but are entirely useless. (E.g. they are part of some race like the "race to 5G" but there is no mention of the "finish line" of a commercially useful product.)

They have been working over time to discredit people like you so you have to give me some reason before I sign up to get spam email from you.

I disagree. Without significant advances in STEM the last 200 years would be pretty much identical to the 200 years before them, and another 200 before them, etc.

Have you ever bought a new iPhone?

Have you ever dropped your phone and needed a repair?

The chance of both of those is correlated to how much time you spend on your device.

And of course, your particular use case isn’t driving apples decisions — it’s the aggregate behavior of all its users.

So while you may not buy more apps or services, it is certainly the case that increases in phone use correlate to increases in Apple Eco System generated revenue for Apple.

Article acknowledges in opening paragraph that it's the left radical ideas that a) become mainstream and b) make the society more fair, then proceeds to reduce radicalism to dogmatism and authoritarianism and busily hacks that strawman down.

Weaksauce centrism is a helluva drug.
Came here to add a comment about this as well. Got pointed in its direction by a Terry Pratchett essay, fantastically interesting. He said something along the lines of "it's not the dictionary you pull out to find a specific fact, but the one you pull out to learn something you didn't realize you were interested in," IIRC.
>All such degree programmes could be dropped tomorrow with no detriment to society.

That is such an outrageous and untestable claim that it is basically meaningless.
If you can make $125k in your 20s, work that soul killing job for 10 years and put as much away as you can. Then at least you have the start of a nest egg by the time you reach retirement. If you do it backwards and save when you're older, it's 10x harder.

Do your passion when you actually have a passion. Until then, work to live, and save save save. (But don't forget to travel)
>It's a shame reasonable perspectives rarely appear in the mainstream media...

Problem is, what's "reasonable" is completely different to a lot of people. FOX News is "reasonable" to some people, CNN is "reasonable" to others, and still others swear by the BBC. (And then you have that pitifully small group of people who watch CSPAN, and might actually be argued to be the most "reasonable" in the classic sense of the word.)

BTW, Japan's social cohesion is falling apart just like everyone else'. So even your initial point is a bit suspect. (Unless you feel things like masses of old people dying alone, unwanted and even undiscovered is a sign of great social cohesion. But even if you do hold such a belief, a contemplative individual would likely not be faulted for disagreeing.)

In a modern world, in modern societies, social cohesion just tends to fall apart. Modern societies are set up to be convenient, and when the efficiencies offered by these conveniences exceed the benefits offered by social cohesion, people, understandably, choose convenience.

It's really just human nature. I don't know how we get around it, I just know that it manifests itself all over the globe. As political strife in the EU and US, as strongman leadership in places like Russia and the Philippines, and as some rather horrible social norms that are developing in places like Japan.

Well I did that. I also gave them a similar warning when I started using the dirac delta, because it is not a proper function and if you want to know more than "it eats integrals", you have to either view it as the limit in a series of function or as a distribution acting on test functions. The thing is you walk a fine line between hiding the truth and not cranking the internal alarm of the students up to a volume where is scares them and prevents further learning.
Playstation 4 hits 100M dollars
I'm not an expert on the subject, but I did learn this from a banker who is. So here's a simple and hopefully not too wrong description. Commercial real estate is an investment property, and it's expected to return some percentage. For argument's sake let's just say 5%. So if the rent is reduced, that expected return holds constant, meaning the capital value of the building drops proportionately. With a mortgage, this can bring the owner into negative equity, and banks really dislike that in commercial real estate. On the other hand, if a space is empty, but for lease at "market rate" then that continues to be the value used for computing the capital value of the property.

Of course this means in some cities you have entire blocks with half the store fronts for lease at "market rate" sitting there for years. This is clearly lousy for everyone, so these perverse incentives ought to be fixed, but to be honest I have no idea how to do that practically and equitably.

That's a very important observation. It's been almost 20 years since I was an undergraduate, but at the time (I went to UCSD), general college requirements were overwhelmingly tilted toward the humanities. Specific requirements varied on which particular college you attended, but often required a 2 lower division survey of world history and cultures, 2 years of a foreign language, and 1-2 courses in performing arts. Often considerable upper division work in a branch of the humanities was required as well (for instance, an upper division series in literature or history). Science requirements were much lighter, and could often be fulfilled without taking calculus (non-calc based stats or symbolic logic for math, non-calc based physics, that sort of thing).

I don't really understand why people act like humanities majors are "well rounded" compared to science or engineering majors - it seems like the absolute opposite. To confirm this, just pick a respectable college and read the degree requirements for students in different majors (I don't mean elite colleges, there are hundreds of colleges that meet this standard).
Philosophy teaches logic and analysis, and teaches you to break down texts into their core points and arguments, then both support and refute them as well as apply them to other situations. It teaches you to see multiple perspectives, to compare and synthesize them, and use them in practice, whether or not you actually agree with them. Those abilities are needed in the working world, (and not just by lawyers), and absolutely could help our economy.

We can even look at my Fine Arts degree the same way. My whole career people have said it is odd for a Fine Arts major to be a coder, until I explain what that degree really taught me - to look at the existing body of work in a field, learn the techniques, and look for new and innovative ways to change those techniques. Then to create a vision of something you want to deliver, start from scratch, and build up to a final product that takes the field a step or two forward, while also effectively communicating with, and engaging, your audience.

You could draw similar parallels with any humanities degree. That process of deconstructing an entire body of work, learning the ins and out of its components, and reconstructing it into something completely new is common to all liberal arts educations. And that is why people with liberal arts degrees are often not the slightest bit concerned whether their degree and their career are a 'match'.
Apple don't charge for MDM profiles
Facebook did not keep user data secret, they used it as a lure to attract Farmvilles and 'Which Hogwarts House are YOU' surveys to make sure people spent more time on the platform, because having a billion people look at the website every day is how facebook makes money. Using the data they have to make sure ads are efficiently targeted is a par for the course -- but it does no harm to facebook if someone else has all my user data, if I spend all my time on facebook, facebook is the only one who makes money selling ads to me.
Okay, but I think we as a society are poorer as a result. Consumerism is not the end-all, be-all.
