Or perhaps we can look into alternate systems that don't reward excruciating studying and working systems. Perhaps standardized testing like the SAT is fundamentally flawed and we need to figure out better assessment systems.

> South Korea has the 10th highest suicide rate in the world.

Note that this is also inflated due to an abnormally high elderly suicide rate due to some systemic factors.

> Although lower than the rate for the elderly, grade school and college students in Korea have a higher than average suicide rate.

One example alternative would be de-emphasizing the utmost need for a degree, and emphasizing trades as an alternative. Not everyone should need a degree, and from an academia standpoint it makes having a college degree relatively worthless and slowly turns universities into degree mills.

A lot of people are significantly interested in this. Just look at the responses this person’s mentoring threads get on Twitter: https://twitter.com/shehackspurple

> If there was one thing I wish I could change about user behaviour, it would be this.

Speaking from a user perspective, I don't think that would be wise. If distributions would just stop feature patching, things would be a lot simpler.

I mean, if a feature is good, everyone should have it, not just the users of one distribution. So please submit the patch upstream, discuss it and wait for the next release. That way, there is no real problem when users submit to upstream bug-trackers. The only exception is (time-critical) security patching. But those patches should be removed again as soon as upstream solves the issue.

The scenario you are wishing for looks like an obvious solution to the issues you are having but will just make everything worse in the long run (slow and fragmented).

>I am not totally convinced that a high refresh rate monitor allows human vision to respond faster.

Have you ever watched a high-level FPS player? They can aim and shoot in the span of about ~1/5 of a second, occasionally even faster. That's 200ms. At 25hz, that's 40ms. A big part of it is going to be increased input processing, but a lot of it is muscle memory at that skill level. At 165hz, that's 6ms. With two equally skilled players, one will see the other up to a whole 34 ms sooner, in a process that takes about 200ms total. That's going to show up as a highly statistically significant advantage. Of course, the increased sense of connectedness to the game at higher rates is another big advantage, but these effects combine. Pit one skilled shooter against another at equal refresh rates, but with one dealing with 34ms of additional input latency, and they're not going to play as well as they should.

Competitive players explicitly disable vsync, because the higher the game framerate, the faster it processes input. Also, the sooner you see updated information on the screen mid-refresh, but that doesn't help as much as a wholly higher refresh rate.

All of this only matters if cloud gamers were playing against locally-rendered players in the same match though.
For the people downvoting this post, consider that people have been shot in the US for complying with police orders, including literally lying on the ground with arms up [1], for simply possessing a firearm with hands well away from it [2], and for attempting to comply with police orders to crawl across the floor with legs crossed and arms up (yes, really) [3].

It's almost a crime that a metric ton isn't called a "megagram".

A rainbow table is the exact attack I'm saying is still infeasible. ("Strong passwords are still just as strong.") It only works by assuming the victim uses one of a known set of weak, easy-to-guess passwords. If they don't, their hashed password is very unlikely to be in the rainbow table at all, because there's just too much hash space. The calculation in my original comment gives the approximate number of hashes necessary to fill a complete md5 rainbow table, on the assumption that you get zero collisions in the process of filling it in. (That is, every time you hash something, you get a hash you've never seen before, allowing you to add new information to the table.) That assumption is not at all realistic. By the time you've filled in half of the space, unless you can choose them cleverly to avoid collisions, half of the strings you hash should be wasted effort.

In a single-target attack, I don't really see the concept of "pre-computation to trade space for time". That hurts you by taking a lot of space, but it doesn't gain you any time, because you spent at least the required amount of time, but almost certainly more, doing the pre-computing. If you can buy someone else's pre-computed rainbow table, then sure, that's an advantage for you. But the adversary actually doing the pre-computing is doing it in order to crack many people's passwords all at once ("this table will let you identify _everyone_ whose password is qwe123"), which is the scenario I described earlier.

(At this point I feel I should clarify that "some people use the same passwords" is a real threat and a real reason to avoid md5. I just don't think the comment I responded to, "It is a question of when not if a hash table is fully cracked", was made in good faith or informed by... anything. To fully crack md5 in that way, you'd need an easily-computed function that inverts it. No amount of hashing speed is ever going to get you there.)

The point is that many state colleges provide ample education. Some provide very good education depending on what areas they specialize in.

USC (South Carolina) is #1 for international business, for example. As I recall we also had good engineering programs. I can't speak for the CS department, but I do know some very smart professors are there, since some of my friends did research there.

USC was the only college I applied to, and I had zero doubts that I'd ever get in (since I didn't go in for IB/business).

Now, networking is a totally different animal. Of course a lot of universities can't match the kind of networking that happens at Ivy leagues. For most people I don't think this is really an issue though as long as you go to a "good"ish university.

Nobody is reading the small print, especially on the "accept this long text to use your thing" kind. Not you, not me, not anyone, really; and everyone knows it, including the courts. In fact, for that reason EULAs aren't even enforceable in all legislatures (like Germany, IIRC).

And putting critical information into the small print that you have to accept just to use the device is plain sleazy.
That, however, does NOT favor the rich, mod cheating/forgery, which surprisingly does get caught, due to the widespread expectation of the system to be fair.

And there used to be bonus points for STEM Olympiads, which had totally worked as intended by providing a sound alternative for the talented / hard-working specialists who have not so much family backing. There were varying degrees of cheating (mostly in the form of leaked problem banks), more rampant in some provinces than others, but AFAIK the asking price was not totally out of reach for the common working family, so it'd be unfair to say cheating the exam favors the rich either.
The article we're discussing has the title "Public's Dread of Nuclear Power Limits its Deployment".

Perhaps we're talking past one another. I'm commenting on how the public policy discussion in practice is talking about completely the wrong issues, leading to a conservatively estimated million deaths annually.

That doesn't mean those issues can't ever be discussed, there's obviously a time and place to discuss nuclear safety.

But it's important to understand that it's harmful in terms of public policy to put that at the forefront of the discussion, as tends to happen.

Just like if every public public health discussion about vaccines devolved into talking about the fringe bad effects from vaccines, with the end result being that nobody would get vaccinated.

Yes, renewable energy has in theory been a thing for 50 years, but in practice the countries that scaled back their nuclear deployments around that time didn't replace nuclear with renewable, they replaced nuclear with energy whose waste we're still breathing today.

Look at e.g. the grid development of Germany v.s. France for a good example. The only exceptions to this are countries like Norway and Iceland who could scale up hydropower, but that doesn't work for everyone.

So I'm not sympathetic to some theoretical spherical-cow-in-a-vacuum argument that the anti-nuclear dialog hasn't been massively harmful to humanity and the planet. If the guaranteed practical outcome of a certain type of public advocacy is a certain type of public policy I think it's meaningless to talk about the would-have-could-haves of it. People should be judged on the foreseeable outcomes of their actions, not their supposed good intentions.

Plenty of roads, rooftops, parking lots and other flat areas. Looking at a satellite map I see mile after mile after mile of sufficiently large plat areas for an emergency. We're talking about a need for a circle smaller than a helicopter pad.

And for a VTOL plane that can do a descent as slow as they've shown with their two seater, getting low enough to find them is far less of an issue.

But the other thing I'd forgotten is that if it were to run out mid air or you can't find anywhere else: the two seater at least had a whole vehicle parachute, and it's built to be water resistant.

"...

Long before the 2016 presidential campaign, confidential sources had alerted me to longstanding misuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court system and the erosion of protections when it came obtaining permission for wiretaps and other surveillance methods.

So, the election debacle came of no surprise. I saw it as an extension of years of improper manipulation.

It now appears to me as though the effort to target those surrounding Donald Trump had more to do with intel officials' concern that a President Trump might dig into these longstanding surveillance abuses with the help of none other than Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.

It was no secret in the intel community that Flynn, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency under President Obama, was not only aware of long-standing intel agency surveillance excesses, but was also planning to clean house.

In the end, Flynn was unable to do the job because he got wrapped up in the Trump-Russia allegations. Funny, that.

…"

By the way, I have heard before on one of Mark Levin shows, that Flynn was the guy that knew about the power abuses, and was going to do something about them -- in his new capacity. And that's why he was sabotaged so early (or perhaps his was an easy target too).

Also, I suspect, that a lot of this illegal abuse of power by FBI and DOJ, was political.

From what I understand (but cannot find reference now), that it was also used to silence opponents of Obama's Iran deal -- therefore, I suspect that discussion, subsequent finger pointing and revelations about this -- will, necessarily, going to be centering around political affiliations of the abusers.

Beyond the thing about different types and frequency of attacks - sure, I trust Google's security more than my own. But I do trust my own security more than that of Random-Startup.IO, who likely have no full-time security people, and little incentive to get the job right (paying attention to security slows down your incredible journey).

Also, even with big companies, this argument applies primarily to the few like Google, Facebook or Apple. Your Random Megacorp from outside tech community usually focuses its security efforts on satisfying regulators and neutering their own employees, who'd otherwise happily copy out all sensitive data to make their jobs easier.

> Traffic in cities should be remodeled.

Absolutely.

> I wonder why we do protect our workers but pedestrians and cyclists/scooters just don't matter. Have you ever seen a working environment where an object with 2-40tons is allowed to freely move next to a person at a speed of 50km/h and more? I'm glad we do have rules in working enviromnents. It would be great to see the same on roads as well.

There are plenty of jobs where such things happen - even something as 'simple' as working with trains, factory jobs etc.

Let's not get paranoid - death rates from traffic accidents in countries with civilized driving culture(mostly Europe, but not everywhere in there) is about 0.05-0.1%. It also includes car->car collisions and car->object collisions - so pedestrian deaths are even lower.

Separation of lanes(pedestrian vs motorized vs bicycles/electric scooters) should be even higher I agree. I really like overpasses for pedestrian crossings - but they introduce plenty of extra costs and problems(mostly for disabled and/or old people).

> I'm all for 'shared roads' with a speed limit reduced to 20km/h which makes it unnecessary for cars to overtake scooters/cyclists. We wouldn't have to build new infrastructure but could simply use the existing one. I could imagine we could even remove most of our traffic lights replaced by roundabouts.

Outside of specific residential zones(where speed limit is already usually between 20-30 km/h(depending on country) and pedestrians already have a right of way) this is insane.

Economically, convenience wise and paradigm wise.

Such system exists because there is a need for fast transportation - it is tied into very complex economical system. If you want to get rid of it - what do you replace it with? If you replace it in your area, will it give advantage to businesses in there? Do majority people living in such areas want to have that speed limit?

> In the long run I hope to see less cars overall and people switching to smaller means of transportation. Moving 2 tons to buy a 500g loaf of bread is just insane.

People usually buy quite more things than just a single loaf of bread. I personally walk to stores, because i can't transport as much goods as car can, so i spend less money.

There are better ways to waste less resources than limiting speed to 20km/h. Electric cars, good public transportation system(it is a nightmare to use in rush hours over here)

In practice, inflation of an asset class like art always leaks out into the general economy, but let's say the dollars that go into art stay in art and never leave.
