Graduating debt-free is a curious definition of “get shafted.”
You could say the same about everyone with student loan debt.
This article didn't dive too deep into the American demoscene as it didn't even mention the LayerOne Demoparty[0] which is next weekend, by the way, and has been going for several years now with submissions from all over the world.

That said, it's great to see an article about the American demoscene!

How many SV startups are founded by recent college grads? Quite a few. I agree that it's not really that positive a thing, but it's certainly not atypical.
The estimated cost of in-state tuition and fees for Georgia Tech is $12,418 per year without any aid.

I think it is a habit to want to tackle difficult things that is learned through discipline likely fostered by parents that disciplined you. This is anecdotal though.
Being a CEO of a company, is in no way comparable to any other position within that same company. There are orders of magnitudes different. There is a reason (rightfully so) that a CEO is paid much more than anyone else*. Like a doctor, who is responsible for lives - a CEO is responsible for 100's, 1000's of financial livelihoods...

edit: of any company over say 30 in size.

Fantastic -- just what I was looking for!
same here, and I went ~30 years ago. Lower class rates are between $9-$10k/year (was looking at two different schools recently - both in that ballpark, which included some books, expenses, etc). IIRC, my jr/sr years credit hour costs were higher, so I'd probably figure those might be, say, $14k? It seems that between books and some living expenses, many 'in state' schools can be done for < $15k/year. This is still fairly expensive (to my eyes) - figuring 4 years, that might get you to around $50k.
How can a remittance period begin if the customer never has possession of the goods? As far as I'm aware, the FOB is destination in all such consumer transactions. Only in commercial shipping is there such a thing as FOB shipping point where the buy takes legal possession of the goods the moment the goods leave shipper's dock.

I think the remittance expiration is b.s. because the remittance period never began because the buyer never took possession of the goods.
I hate to agree with you, but yes. This is a project that started in the late 1990s, and while it was state-of-the-art then, not so much now as compared to the near photo-realistic environments of today's video games. That being said, the point of this is to be a realistic depiction, and the more detailed the modeling gets the more would have to be invented rather than being historically documented.

I've heard from YouTubers that when they win the appeal they get the monetization that was taken returned back to them. This does not apply when the video was completely demonetized though, only when the monetization was reassigned.

Most of the comments so far have been negative and posed with barbs for the author's competence. I'd like to offer another angle.

It appears that she's someone who didn't come from means, put herself through college by waitressing, kept getting jobs in PE/VC (haven't looked up her bio as that would be creepy), and became a senior enough player at a firm to be installed as an interim-keep-the-ship-steady CEO while a new candidate was being found.

Job performance has a high correlation with IQ (and by extension the ability to learn quickly); especially for executive roles. The author is someone who juggles complex financial models all day; surely she's more than smart, capable and relentlessly resourceful enough to take on the mantle of an interim CEO. Sure, she might not be a long-term candidate (for now), but an interim CEO is meant to make sure that the finances stay okay, the fires get put out, and that the ship doesn't sink until a new skipper can be found. That's all. It's a job that's not too far from her initial skills with an added operational component that she's delving into over here. Compared to most "CEOs" I've met, she's probably overqualified.

For those questioning the VC firm who sent her in, it's impossible that she was sent in alone. She's probably being advised by the GPs and a curated set of experts to make the right operational decisions. Her job is to execute the plan and Not Fuck Up (a harder job than it seems). And it appears that she succeeded in doing so.

She rose to her professional challenge, learned something and wrote something from a position of humility. How many of us (especially the detractors) can claim the same?
Actually China has longstanding demographic, environmental and political problems that make its eventual dominance far from certain. They're moving away from the one-child policy too late, they're deep into the modern low-fertility-preference zone now (but more so than other modern countries because of environmental constraints), and there is no prospect of significant immigration to pick up the slack.

Would it be reasonable for average person to suspect Big Co. with huge Vested Interestᵀᴹ had / has the lions share of lobbying power in this scenario?

I don't know whether this is true in fact, in this specific case, but as a fairly average sort of person I suspect it might be.

Therefore, it may be reasonable to blame Big Co., but you're probably right in that it won't do much good at this point.
Interesting. But I like Assasin's Creed's modeling better. Maybe they should have teamed up?
I hate to sound like a jerk saying this but it feel like it is arrogance. It seethes in every product, communication, page, document, their approach to every new market. There is no choice, you do it their way.
My bad. Used online mortgage calculator. Didn't notice they were including estimate of taxes and homeowners in the monthly.
Your suggestion is the right one - a contract CEO (with similar vertical or even horizontal experience) is better than a financial number cruncher.
This is the same sort of idiotic thinking that gets people depressed about selling their stock before it skyrocketed.

You can’t predict the future. You do the best you can. Your choices mean that you didn’t get to benefit from a gift that nobody knew was coming? Might as well complain about not winning the lottery. That some people was helped doesn’t mean the others have been hurt.

I’m amazed and appalled at how common this sentiment is. So many comments here are complaining that some of these graduates will miss out on this charity because they have no debt. At the risk of violating site guidelines, what the fuck is wrong with you people?

I hope your friend was able to positively impact a few children's lives. It is a Nobel cause to do that sort of thing.
I think the programming skill you are referring to it some combination of all of the above. Many very successful people come from poor backgrounds, but going to a good school and having a steady household certainly increase the odds of success

Wait, are there any public colleges in the United States that charge anywhere near $25k/year for in-state undergraduate tuition?

The public university my brother is going to in New York costs around $25k for four years of tuition.

The case where an uploader loses all their revenue is if the video is completely demonetized (or completely taken down in the case of a DMCA request)
Ah I misread you the first time around. My original comment had no flamewar material in it, and it received a bunch of drive-by downvotes (and upvotes), with no attempts to add to the conversation. This behaviour is hardly conducive to well thought out conversation. I took an educated guess and assumed some Rustaceans skimmed my comment and took offense because they didn't thoroughly read it, as that was the only thing that I could even imagine causing downvotes, so I attempted to start a conversation. I'm well aware of the guidelines, I chose to ignore them in this instance because, as stated above, drive-by downvoting is not how one adds to the discussion. Now there are at least people discussing, which is the only reason for HN as a platform to exist. You're welcome HN!

The keyword is "contested".

If JoeGamer uploads a video of him playing dark souls with music in the background, and MusicCorp claims infringement, YT has to remove the video without putting it past a lawyer. You and I are on the same page so far.

Once JoeGamer contests the claim and says, "No, I got that from one of the dozen websites that offer CC licensed music, here is the link," YT either needs to have a lawyer review it, or simply side with MusicCorp. If YT sides with MusicCorp, YT quickly loses their monopoly.

Since the alternative is a terrible business strategy, I think the term "need" applies here.
I mostly agree with this - however it's important to remember that in smaller organizations....
Board members may still be incredibly involved and active.

I know of a small (30 million a year) organization where board members input 20-40 hours a week. Not nearly as much as a CEO...but still much more then in other orgs.

And I wouldn’t disagree. I told my children that they would get loans in their own names and that if/when they graduated, we would help them pay it off up to a certain amount. I also suggested that they stay at home and go to a two year college and then transfer.
Yes you're exactly right about escaping.

Orthogonal to escaping, the choice is what characters to use for unit separator and record separator.

If the data are for machines only, then for me the choice of characters doesn't matter. If the data are potentially for reading or editing, such as by a programmer, then my choice is to prefer typically-visible characters over typically-invisible characters and/or zero-width characters (e.g. ASV a.k.a. DEL a.k.a. ASCII 30 & 31).

My choice of USV is thus because U+241F and U+241E are visible, and also in Unicode they are semantically meaningful.
I know many "acting CEO's" list that time as CEO, and are considered CEO (and rightfully so) for that duration.
The funny thing is that the protocol is meant to be run by tiny devices. So of course one would thing they would have attempted to make it simple.
I think it would seem insane for them to present this opportunity to make a ton of money (robotaxis), and not fully commit to it.

Slightly off topic. Can't help it, but the motif for pain (introduced @ 9:37) sounds to me like, I don't know, Windows (?) error/warning sound. Is it just me?
This was a wonderful article. So much more lyrical, while informative, than I've come to expect from a random article on the interwebs. It was a delight to read from beginning to end, and I learned a lot. I've bookmarked it for reference to continue to study, because I definitely find the "don't try to at home" comment to be a challenge I'm willing to except.
Can't read the article right now (page seems hung) But, funny I did this exact same thing (ST as dumb terminal), 1995ish or so. An old Atari ST (with a missing top half of the case), serial connection to my 486 50 running Linux. In the same room. So friends could come over and IRC or MOO or whatever on one machine while someone was on the other.

The ST's keyboard was crap, but the Mega ST (not Mega STe and TT tho) had a good one. Mechanical (cherry) keyswitches.

In its favour, there were some good terminal emulators for the ST, and its mono monitor was good quality.

I also used the same ST to retrieve usenet and email via UUCP somewhere around 1990 or 1991.

Good times.
With 10% down at today’s rates a $230,000 house will cost you $1,200 per month in mortgage, taxes, and home insurance. Little bit less with the mortgage interest deduction and real estate tax deduction. The rule of thumb is 36% of gross income, which is $2,000 on $70,000. The rule of thumb cuts it close, but this is well below that—20% of gross income.

Net pay on $70,000 in Maryland for a married couple is $4,750 per month. (Maryland is not a low tax state.) At that wage level, your job quite likely includes health insurance. (Excluding people who are on Medicaid, Medicare, or military insurance, 84% of people in Maryland have insurance through their employer.) But let’s pretend it doesn’t. For a family of four with two kids making $70,000, an ACA Silver plan in Maryland is $538. About $1,700 for housing and health insurance combined, leaving almost $3,000 a month for saving and other expenses. That’s a very comfortable middle class life.

Say your earnings are split $40k/$30k, a typical split for a married couple. The higher earning person losing their job will reduce the household income to $50,000, raising the housing expense to 29%—still within an acceptable range.
The openjdk container is based on a distribution container and publishes multiple versions for different distributions (debian, alpine, windows, slim debian, old debian version, etc.). Users then base their containers on top of an openjdk container and add their packages dependencies to their docker files. The issue here is that the language container seems to have pinned against a specific non-release version of openjdk.
True. The likes of broadcom are hugely sophisticated and really really understand the spec.

But _none_ of your consumer level gadgets are made by broadcom.

Broadcom will sell millions of these cheap as chips chips to second tier players.

Who may sell on to third tier players.

Who buy or pull a bluetooth stack and sort of vaguely maybe know what they doing, tie it all together and get the BT compliance stamp (which sort of means it doesn't shit all over the RF spectrum and vaguely works)...

...and then the sell it to you.

ie. The chip manufacturer hopefully has clue.... then it gallops rapidly downhill from there.
I'd be a lot sadder if I'd scraped and taken loans and graduated the previous year from that school with a lot of debt. Even worse if you rushed through and graduated early or something (maybe to save money?).
Holy crap. I did not realize this much litter came down drains. Insane.
Yet there is still quite a lot of friction.

Airpods have the best support and they still require you to find out how to pair them when you change device and wait.

Frankly, if you did any review and didn't bother to highlight Ada, you either didn't do much work or have some very odd biases which you should get rid of. You might not like Ada, and you might even have good reasons not to, but Ada has been synonymous with secure programming on embedded systems for nearly 40 years.
I think the OP's talking about stuff like Qt, OpenGL, BLAS/LAPACK.
I don’t honestly see what kind of attack could be defeated by multiplying by a fixed value (maybe because there isn’t one, or likely because I simply can’t) but sure, why not! It feels like good hygiene, can be done with just the X25519 function and a scalar field multiplication, and I imagine it can help with proofs.

Any reason not to use a simpler SHA-512(ID || <PK>) value for t?

BTW, I was about to report an errata for RFC 8017, until I realized they inverted both the order and the starting index in going from X_n to x_n... yeah, as much as I’d like not to redefine that function every time, I might keep calling it big endian fixed size encoding.
It's difficult to do a thorough audit even if you trust the chip layout as designed. Effectively impossible if you don't.

Some of the students who took loans might also have parents who are able to afford it, but the students decided to take loans instead.
> From a more recent point of view, what he did was find a graphical way to go from an SO(3) tensor network to an SL(2) tensor network (which should be possible since both Lie groups are isomorphic).

Locally isomorphic, but not isomorphic: SL(2) is the simply connected double cover Spin(3) of SO(3). As you probably know, the non-simply-connectedness of SO(3) is what's witnessed by Dirac's belt trick (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_trick).

There are quite a few private colleges that have a tuition of about $2000/semester. It is entirely possible to get a bachelors for under $20k if you shop around.

Or, if you live somewhere like Oregon, if you graduate from an Oregon high school, the state will cover your tuition to a state college.
Yea, sometimes if the stakes are high enough you may have to get it right without multiple attempts.

Depending on your time constraints, the tips given here seem to apply particularly well: find proxy problems that allows you to learn without as much hardship would be a good idea, as well as the other strategies of breaking it down, etc.

Sometimes time is not on your side though, and you have to get it right without time to practice on proxy problems (at least I believe this can occur).

Then you can use what I call it the 'Kitchen sink' approach: grab a bunch of tools, a bunch of approaches and start digesting your problem through as many viewpoints as possible. If your problem has safety implications and you can verify it, then well enough. Otherwise you make an attempt if you are sufficiently confident in your solution; and take some kind of NOP otherwise (if a guaranteed 0-return NOP even exists).

Also, if you're solving something while time constrained, you may need to reflect afterwards if you could have either prevented the time constraint or prepared better somehow.

In general though, there's hope in the sense that if something is verifiable or approximately-verifiable you can approach good solutions with time. At least I have high hopes of always finding a solution given enough time (i.e. "You're not good enough" does not exist).

That's only not applicable if your time is finite or in the same vein you need to improve a skill to apply a series of finite-time decisions. Eh who cares about finite time anyway? :P

(Yes, in reality everything is limited but there are plenty of tasks you can take your time with...)

My favorite part is when headphones connect to the laptop in my backpack that’s closed and the laptop I’m currently using. They play music successfully but volume is set to 0 because I guess macOS does that in sleep mode.

TT can actually run full Unix. Atari sold a full SYS V Unix for it, and later on NetBSD was ported to it. m68k Linux also ran on it at one point, I believe.

Classic ST can't do it, because no MMU. On them we had MiNT, which was a Unix-like extension to TOS. Ran fine on an ST with a 1MB or so of RAM. At various times I ran a full suite of Unix ports... bash, emacs, nn, vi, the whole nine yards. There was also a port of the MGR window system.

But the machines with an '030 (TT And Falcon) could run a proper Unix. Including X11. I remember even seeing discussion of this in UnixWorld magazine back in the day.

> Purchase manufactured goods and ship 'em overseas, and receive US dollars in return, in a non-chinese bank account

That is such a great way to defeat currency controls that I wonder what the Chinese government--or any government with currency controls--could do about it. It seems like you could move infinite money out of a country that way with almost no risk. It's not smuggling. If it's done legally, you'd declare your sales and pay tax on your profits, but still end up with a pile of cash outside of your home country.

Off the top of my head, I suppose they could crack down on it by:

* cutting off all trade (obviously a stupid thing to do)

* making it illegal for their citizens to have foreign bank accounts

* require that all exports go through government-controlled agencies who would ensure that payments don't end up in foreign bank accounts

* requiring all payments received in a foreign country to be repatriated back to the home country

What does China (or any government with currency controls) do?
Maybe. I'd prefer that neither of them have my data.

I do believe that competition limits the exploits. If there's an alternative, you have to fear losing your customers (and their money), so you limit what you do to them. If there isn't any, why would you? Right now, the competition is basically only Apple vs Google. Both USA, both from California. A bit more diversity would be nice.
The 7:30 stop?! Is this parody?
Good and obvious guess.

None of that is operational experience, as they themselves wrote. I've never seen an award that mattered either.
