I don't know about you, but I grew up dirt poor and on Apple Health (WA's version of Medicaid) which did the bare minimum for my health. Not to mention it had zero dental coverage at a time when I was going to college with teeth quite literally rotting out of my head, broken down to the gums and with occasional abscesses.

And that's only because my parent's combined income was effectively $0, because neither of them could work due to severe disability. You can look at the income limits [1] and see that you basically have to be living in abject poverty in order to qualify.

So I'd advise you to actually experience it before telling others to read about it.

Sidenote: An important thing to remember in all of this is that most peolple will probably fail a few times and for instance get into the habit of gaming again. But failing is only good because the next time you would try you’d probably last a bit longer and it would take less of an effort. The important part is recognising this, not beating yourself up over it and to keep trying even after failing many times.
Well, they've gotta spend that 300 million dollars a year somehow ( i think that was increased recently to 500 million? ). i know some of it goes to housing assistance.

These criteria are really shitty for some people. My middle class parents spoiled me and paid for the entirety of my college tuition and expenses, but I had friends from families with similar income whose parents completely refused to pay for any college expenses, and they had to survive on whatever scholarships and student loans they could get, but couldn't get any FAFSA aid. I'm not sure what the alternative is, and I'm sure they were more privileged than many/most of the people who do qualify for FAFSA aid, but it still felt really unfair to me.

I guess they should've gotten sham marriages to qualify as independent? (Why is marriage a qualifying criterion for independence? Seems really antiquated to me...)
As I noted, my reason for flac/alac is for transcoding purposes. I mainly just transcode them to mp3 currently and play them in itunes anyways, but I have the freedom to transcode to any format in the future without a degradation in quality. You can't do that with lossy formats like mp3.

Double blind tests show that 320kbp/s mp3s are indistinguishable from flacs, barring very poor masters or some extreme edge cases. For a lot of music you could get away with 256kbp/s probably, but it doesn't cost you anything to just go with 320kbp/s.

It is a gift handed down by a rich parent — the parent in this case is the university. There is no difference. Someone is handing you thousands of dollars and they say: “here is some money for your school, in order to keep getting this money, you have to get good grades and volunteer as a teaching assistant.” How is that any different than a rich parent giving you the same money with the same conditions? At the end of the day, some benefactor is handing you a pile of money to get an advanced degree.

I remove semicolons from JS b/c I feel like they are a bit of a hack. Except where it's required by the language (for loops, which are becoming less used quite rapidly), your code generally shouldn't be so complex as to require semicolons for readability.

Having said that, I've been introducing a lot more colons, since I use TypeScript.
I’ve been telling people this for years. Bookmarking is for dynamic data. You bookmark the weather website. You don’t bookmark recipes. Personally I use Evernote and its web clipper. Unfortunately it doesn’t download images, but I wrote a little program using their API to replace the img tags with embedded resources.

I haven't found his twitter presence and feel a bit creepy trying to, but I think you are being pretty uncharitable. His personal website may not exactly sparkle, but I don't think it paints him as crazy and there many talented techies out there who have successful careers with an even less polished of a personal website. Let's not fool ourselves into believing that tough love is what everyone needs. Let's also not fall into the trap of believing that everyone who is struggling is struggling because of obvious mistakes they made. Bad luck that plays a much larger role in many people lives than you might imagine if you have lived comfortably.
That's exactly how I'd write it, and see it most commonly written.
You seem to be stuck on the idea that it's about money, and it's not.

My entire argument isn't that it can be monetized easily (https://www.facebook.com/help/publisher/321041698514182 it can) but that there are dozens of EASY ways to publish things and do so freely.

It's literally dead simple.

Don't use that tactic of comparing the real world with fantasy literature. You know what I'm talking about, don't use this as a tactic because it's cheap.

IF you want to play that game, replace White walkers with nazis. Problem solved.

All I'm saying that problems can be solved by cutting off the head of the snake. America is taking the path of avoiding this type of solution when places like Singapore have used extreme laws like death penalties to create an amazing city.

Also I called it "jail" but clearly it's also a rehabilitation and education center as I mentioned in the OP. Additionally, SF does give homeless people money. It's not working. They get 550 per month on my dime to buy more drugs. I'd rather pay more for an affective solution.
I do. Gulags have toilets people use, SF does not.

Honestly neither of us have lived in a Gulag so don't act like it's sacrilege or immature that I would compare such a thing. Don't use this tactic, it's cheap. My Uncle lived in a gulag, don't make me use him as counter-tactic.

You are dismissing an obvious solution. One that has been implemented successfully in places such as Singapore. The dichotomy of individual rights and the greater good is not strict.

Individual Rights need to be given up for the good of mankind. It is unscientific not to consider these possible solutions as they have been implemented to major success in other places such as Singapore.
The police would use this new law selectively. Meaning only on people who are obviously homeless. The point of the law is not 100% technical enforcement to the written word fairly on all people. The spirit of the law is to make the city live-able and not covered with feces and people shooting themselves up with needles on market.
No I'm describing a jail which is for all intents and purposes the same thing as an internment camp and a required addition for any society to function.
One of my points is that you can't separate the emotive response from the consequences of new developments. There's a cognitive bias that humans have (novelty bias) where when there's a great new technology or social change, we usually only see the positives, unless you're zooming in very closely and examining the development with a specifically critical lens. As the technology becomes more familiar, we become blind to its benefits and just take them for granted. Instead, our emotions zoom in on all the downsides - those little details that are insignificant in the bigger picture, but which become very annoying when everybody's using the technology every day.

This is why life continues to suck despite 400 years of solid technological progress, even though nobody realistically wants to go back to the Middle Ages.
Your argument applies equally well to the general population. If I lend my car to a friend and then get him arrested by falsely reporting it stolen, do you think the judge will listen to me when I say that it’s a big country and it’s not reasonable to expect a zero defect rate?

Filing a false police report is criminal, literally. Writing bad software is not.

The root of my complaint is the massive inequity in treatment between individuals and large companies. If you want to argue that companies should be punished for making crappy software or that private citizens should get a pass when committing crimes, go for it, but that’s not quite what I’m talking about. The issue isn’t merely that Hertz gets away with this, it’s that they get away with it where you and I would not.
I respectfully disagree. A contrary viewpoint which I happen to share is the following - As a software developer you build productivity multipliers for your users. Users spend non trivial amounts of time, money and energy building skills to master a tool you build. Users use these skills to earn a livelihood and sometimes due to a change in employer / life situation find themselves in a position where they do not have control over the OS that they need to be productive in. I think empathy with your user dictates that you try to maximize the combinations in which they can put their skills to productive use. Taking ideological positions on fit/finish/aesthetics is questionable if your user has to spend time relearning some other tool because you refused to port your software. The port might not be as pixel perfect but if it helps a user carry over their skills into a new job / earn more money then I will sleep well at night knowing I stood by users.
The chaos is not related to the number of variables, it is sensitivity to initial conditions. Even system with one variable, and the simplest evaluation rule can be chaotic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_map. The only requirement is that after some time all the points in the phase space are mixed so heavily that to find one you need to do exactly the same calculations the system itself had to do.

And btw this gives a plausible explanation of free will, it is not that the future behavior of the system is not completely predictable from the past, but the fact that to predict it you need to simulate the system faithfully, which is equivalent to that system living and making its own choice.
>> fathers income HAD to be included in my application even though he didn't contribute anything to me and my mother was on disability, they were divorced and I hadn't seem him in years.

I don't know how that works in US, but in my country you can sue your parent for child support payments until you reach the age of 26, if you are still in college. I mean: you sue them on your own behalf, since you're adult, the other parent does not need to participate.
Safeway might be required to devote equal shelf space to each of the 24 varieties of Triscuit [1], or perhaps at least the same minimum amount of shelf space to each variety. Nabisco doesn't want some competitor to grab that shelf space. And maybe Safeway doesn't find it worthwhile to train its stockers to restock one variety more frequently than the others.

>Its no longer stigmatized [since 20 years ago]

Maybe I should have told the people slamming my back into hooks repeatedly that and they would have stopped. Or the people who refused to hire me. Or the people who refuse associate with me. Maybe you should tell the associates I have who accidentally let slurs slip out of their mouth with me right in front of them. Just look at the slang internet shitheads use. "Retard" and "Autist," are super common.

Just because you're blind to the stigma out there doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Mental illness causes many problems and often the easiest way for somebody to deal with those problems is to not deal with the mentally ill person. Even if its not right. Stigma is practical. People in the developed world give a lot of lip service to how mental illness shouldn't be stigmatised I guess.

I'm curious if you believe the developed world doesn't have sexism or racism anymore.

It would also have been a better way to define the function, in Python 2.

I was sad when they removed argument unpacking in Python 3. I thought it was a really elegant feature of the language.

It's hard to find much information on the website about what exactly the LTSE does. The website seems to imply that in addition to being an exchange it will sell (give?) tools to listed companies.

Wikipedia gives some more details:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Stock_Exchange

> The new exchange imposes additonal rules on listed companies and their investors, besides the rules required by law and traditional exchanges. Because these additional rules are imposed by an exchange, they can be enforced by existing mechanisms at the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

> In an earlier SEC filing, LTSE said that its corporate governance rules might include: increased voting rights for shareholders who hold company stock for long periods of time, restrictions on offering short-term incentives to executives, disclosure of impact of any stock buybacks, and requiring companies to have a board-level long-term product and strategy committee.

I’ve lost my ability to work and gotten reestablished twice in the last three years. For about 4 months now I have felt ready to work again, but where do you go from there? It’s not like you can just hop in and start doing it.

Correlation doesn't equal causation, and even if you could blame that high increase in suicide rate on Facebook (or social media in general) that is still peanuts compared to tobacco, and Facebook hasn't to my knowledge tried to stifle studies of social media's impact on people in nearly the same way big tobacco has tried to stifle research on its direct effects on people.
It seems you may be unfamiliar with STEM Ph.D programs. The way it works is professors "sponsor" a graduate student to do reserach for them. The student will either work on existing projects started within that professor's lab or start their own related projects. The goal of this research is to contribute novel material into scientific literature.

It's also usually NOT a rich parent. For example a big funder is NSF or NIH, these institutions grant money to labs with the expectation that they will perform research.

Don't think of it as being paid to go to class, think of it as a job where you work 40 hours a week (usually way more) doing reserach, then go to class, then on top of that help teach those classes through being a TA.
With a very subjective view on the worthiness of the enterprise
It depends on your own definition of happiness and your moral compass. It's pretty easy to confound shallow joys with lasting happiness.

Are you genuinely happy when you have a nice car and nice clothes, or are you merely matching the expectations of happiness of our current society? These things are the very definition of status symbol, and ultimately they are out of you control.

Imho happiness based on material things is very limited once you have the basics. When your parents are one step from death, when you get a kid, when your good health will slowly leave you &c. Your Porsche and your nice cloths will be way down on your list of happiness sources.

Basing internal happiness on external things seems like a recipe for disaster. First there is no limit on how much shit money can buy, second material things have no power against the true life hardships. You might temporarily delay some of them but that's a far cry from "happiness".

Not sure why the negative points here. The game plays extremely laggy and with input delay on my Surface Pro 3, yet the FPS counter shows always above 40fps, usually over 100.

The FPS counter is horribly off and does not represent real life.
There's a difference in normal studying for a deadline (which just sucks) versus studying all day, every day, to the extent that Korean-Koreans do. I have no idea about American-Koreans. Both countries have big standardized tests (SAT, 수능) but the SAT is nowhere near as important as the 수능.

I do think standardized testing is fundamentally broken, but for mass-grading of people there's no other real alternative I suppose. However, I don't think the SAT's job should also be trying to account for systemic issues in America and life.

Instead, college admission boards should look at background as well as SAT scores. I believe they do this already, but SAT scores should be even less emphasized. Beyond a very minimum level I don't think it's a really good indicator of a person at all.
Is it basically just a stripped down version of Unbound or does it provide any additional functionality?
I think it's a incredibly unfair to assume that I'm not acting in good faith when I send patches upstream. I was contributing to the free software community long before I was getting paid to do so. I spend almost all of my working hours doing upstream maintainership work or writing patches. I have PRs that are several years old and I still am working on getting them merged upstream. I'm also just a developer, I'm not in a position to start spending money on projects on behalf of my employer. I do happen to donate to plenty of upstream projects and foundations, but that's money out of my own pocket.

The issue is that there are some (rare) cases where upstream is completely unwilling to merge a patch for philosophical reasons.

If you want me to be blunt -- the example I'm thinking of is Docker (which doesn't have a cash-flow problem), and has refused outright on many occasions to merge patches that allow for build-time secrets. On SLE we need this because in order to use a SLE image on a SLE machine you need to "register it" and the only way to sanely register it automatically is to bind-mount some files into all containers on-build as well as on-run (which you cannot do with upstream Docker today). Red Hat spent a long time trying to get a patch like this upstream, as did we.

If you are picking up catering from say Whole Foods, being able to call is essential. Also helps a lot to call and see if X item is out of stock that is almost always out of stock.
Your situation really sucked. However the reason that is that way is because the schools want to avoid financial aid fraud: a rich dad is “out of the picture” when in fact he isn’t — people use that strategy to get more financial aid. In your case, it was horrible. Getting classified as an independent student under the age of 24 is very difficult; it depends on the school’s financial aid administrator. Only .9% of students got an override. However, being married, a veteran, having legal dependents, or being an orphan are the only automatic ways to be considered independent for the FAFSA. If that were my situation, I would have joined the National Guard for two years: that makes you independent and gets you additional money from the GI Bill. However, that’s not for everyone.

I’m sorry you had that situation. In your case, it was clearly unfair.
When you have your own domain, I suggest enabling a catch-all email. You can then make up a new email for every account ("hackernews@firstnamelastname.com"), enabling you to track where spam comes from, disabling certain emails, etc.

College education should not be the primary route out of poverty, that's the real issue. Not everyone can or should get a college education.

College should just be cheaper for everyone. Eliminate federal-backed student loans, eliminate useless classes, eliminate remedial classes, utilize more technology, eliminate excess administrators, eliminate ever-expanding resort-style amenities.
It makes sense to me. I evaluated it years ago (when it did have DRM), and simply moved onto different solutions. I never had a need to re-evaluate itunes because I haven't had any issue with the alternatives.
