Social stigma is powerful. I took an extra $60-70k in debt to go to school in Chicago instead of DC, where I could have commuted from home. It’s our culture. College is supposed to be a 4-year vacation where binge drink and do a lot of drugs. Hard to do that when you’re living at home.
> I think that U.S. intelligence does not talk about specific threats because the attack vectors would probably misunderstood and underestimated by the general public.

I doubt intelligence agencies care about convincing public one way or another. I suspect they are worried about revealing details of their methods and thus have a blanket "say nothing" default mindset.
Yep, the reason they implemented MCAS was because they popped on some larger engines, which were too close to the ground, so they moved them up and forward on the wing a bit. This gave the plane a tendency to tilt up which could cause a stall, so Boeing added some software to bring the nose down.

In both crashes, one of the two Angle of Attack sensors was incorrect. Boeing only use one AoA sensor per flight (alternating for some bewildering reason), and in this particular flight it was constantly incorrectly stating the plane was nearing a stall. So MCAS would continually kick in until the Pilot could no longer keep the plane in the air.
> * something that is an advantage becomes a requirement 15/30 years later.*

We see this within the realm of college competition itself. 20 years ago, shiny new dorms, rec facilities, and food service was a competitive advantage. Now, it's a requirement that drives up costs for everyone.
I will caution you, price does not in any way directly correlate to quality of work. I have hired people who undercharge (at least in relation to the quality of their work) for several reasons: because they don't know what the market will bear; they enjoy the work and don't care; they are just starting out and need referrals; they are a one-man-shop and still make more than they would as someone else's employee.

In fact- I've found that often times, price inversely correlates with quality of work. Perhaps it may reverse again once you reach a certain inflection point where you're paying for a lot of 'white glove' service and someone who is willing to take abuse from very demanding clients.

> to make the choice not to get an education puts you at a disadvantage and lowers your odds of being successful in the workplace.

That's simply not true. Despite a sharp rise in post secondary attainment, workplace success has not meaningfully changed in many decades. Incomes are stagnant. Job quality is reportedly in decline. Where are you seeing the gain in workplace success with the rise of post secondary attainment?

I expect what you are really referring to is that those with higher levels of scholastic attainment are statistically more likely to have a higher income than those with lesser levels, but like I said before, that is because people with down syndrome (to stick with the example), who will statistically struggle in the workplace, never had a chance to go to college in the first place.

Not all people are equal. A lot of people simply do not have what it takes to be accepted into college, and if they manage to be accepted, they fail under the academic rigour. The same qualities that see them struggle in school are what also result in struggles in the workplace. If you could theoretically graduate from college with flying colours, you're already destined to be successful in the workplace, even if you never go to college.
You could easily pass or fail automated tests for PCI DSS and it would have no correlation to whether your business was found compliant or not. The premise of this makes no sense.
I don't know why you latched on to the notion that I was suggesting something dishonest.

You might be prioritizing developing your product over making income, or reinvesting income rather than spending that income personally. Or you might have savings or existing investment funding. There are many common scenarios such as these and none of them involve fraud.

You can be building up a substantial asset and living frugally and it doesn't affect your eligibility because of the lack of an asset test and because any capital gains are not realized) or assessed) until the business is sold.

Also as a single person you can earn up about $12K and not pay any premiums under Obamacare, or get up to about $48K and still get a subsidy. If you have a family of 4 these figures and $23K and $96K respectively. So obviously you don't have to get your income down to $0.
It's definitely bound to hardware acceleration: I just tried on an old MacPro (2008) and it stutters with hardware acceleration enabled, but runs smoothly without. Apparently, there are some overoptimistic assumptions about the GPU hardware available.

I just realized I've never actually seen on-prem Github. GitLab on the other side is everywhere, especially thanks to the Community Edition. I've never seen really big deployments, but for instances with 100-200 people on board there was never any problem (and DevOps guys sit right next to me, so I would probably hear something).

As for the hosted solutions, IMO both GitLab.com and Github.com are pretty slow. I've just recently started using non-premise solutions of both and Github slowness is really taking it's toll on my patience.

The problem is, a lot of even entry level professional jobs are now requiring a 4-year degree so we're basically saying "Go do low-level blue collar work or take on tens of thousands (or hundreds) of dollars of debt as a lottery ticket to see if you'll get lucky enough to actually be able to service that debt in a timely fashion"

> When a bargoer visits another PatronScan bar and swipes their ID, their previously flagged transgressions will pop up on the kiosk screen. Unless patrons successfully appeal their status to PatronScan or the bar directly, their status can follow them for anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months, to much, much longer.

“Appeal” to a private company to seek what’s effectively forced arbitration only ends one way en masse.

This sounds horrible. I hope there’s some legit privacy regulations passed to ban passive practices like this. Scanning an ID locally to check for duplicates that night sounds reasonable. Auto uploading it without notifying patrons to a central DB is not.
The other day I was reading about Miranda rights and I didn’t realize it wasn’t a thing until the 60s. It was heavily pushed and publicized by lawyers to make it a necessity to have lawyers at every step of the way. There is some debate about how harder it is to get convictions because of the Miranda rights. I’m not trying to say anything about how important the rights are when people go through the process, I just thought it was interesting.

How does the rule about not talking to police work? What about when police are canvassing the neighborhood and they are knocking on every door? Are you supposed to talk then? What about when you have info of a crime? What about when you want to report a crime? Any of these situations is potentially a way for police to twist your words.

I have Windows 10 Pro on a laptop and still have to use 3rd party software to control how much bandwidth all of the update mechanisms in Windows Update use or nothing else will get updates/stream (or flat out function), folks with higher bandwidth or corporate internet access will not feel this kind of pain.
There are many conditions in which this structure is entirely reasonable. However, it gets down to the investor and their track record history. I take fault for not doing due diligence and probing them. Namely:

1. Ask for references of prior companies they have funded.

2. Identity mutual contacts with someone you both know and can verify their credibility.

3. Ask around their reputation of other VCs and people in the space.
There is a difference, and individual privacy is more important.

We're all aware of the problems with news sites. News organizations are well aware too. But what choice do they have?

Back in the day, newspapers could charge lots for local advertising and classified ads, because they were the only game in town. The internet disrupted this, and since then they've had financial problems. The clickbait, the ad targeting, etc, is just what they have to do to compete in a search engine / social media driven ecosystem, where Facebook and Google not only control what content you see, but also keep most of the ad money. News sites are just trying to play the game that we all created.

This site's arm chair solutions are not helpful. News organizations are already aware of these strategies, and many sites already implement them. But they have drawbacks, and are not one-size-fits-all solutions. The way this guy presents these solutions as totally obvious just reaks of arrogance. If solving the problem was so simple, we all wouldn't be struggling to solve it.

Looking at my work inbox, 80% of my email is under 100k, attachment included. And in almost every case, the attachment (usually a document or screenshot) is what causes it to go over the limit.

I have specifically chosen my work inbox because most of it is actual useful, work-related conversations and not spam.

So yeah, 102k is fine, and I prefer to click on the occasional "View entire message" rather than sacrifice performance because of a few bloated messages.

What the article complain about is that it is not enough for well-styled newsletters and stuff like that. But I call it a feature, not a bug. These mails are definitely not a priority, let them be truncated. One interesting point is that it can hide the "unsubscribe" link. Google already addresses that by providing an "unsubscribe" link right on top if you do things correctly, and if you don't, then you are a spammer and you will get blacklisted soon enough.
Three case studies from three people I went to high school with

Student A was an A student. He got into several ivy league schools. He chose to go to a mid-pack private school that offered him a generous scholarship and some financial aid, and took on a small amount of debt, which he knocked out in a couple years. He's an engineer now.

Student B was a B student. He used every trick possible (intensive SAT prep, using family connections, applying early decision, visiting campus several times, tailoring essays) to get into the a particular almost-ivy-tier private school. He got zero aid and scholarships, and took on 6-figure debt. He has a solid job in accounting now.

Student C was a C student. He wasn't super interested in college but ended up going to a local state school. Lived at home, worked part-time, graduated on time. I don't think he took on much or any debt at all. He got a job in a local law firm.

In high school, everyone thought that Student B was a legend for getting into such an incredible school. Everyone said Student A was wasting a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to a top school, and Student C was going to be a garbage man. In reality, Student A still got a great education, and by being an A student, excelled in college and naturally excelled in his career. Student B did get a springboard into the industry by going to a top school, but the debt has absolutely crushed his ability to build wealth, buy property, etc. And Student C basically ticked off the box for "I went to college" and got a solid job, without debt baggage.

> start communicating over the 5G backbone

5G operates at OSI layer 1 (and maybe has some impact on layer 2). I've never heard of any aspect of it changing higher layers, which is where the concerns about control come in. Is there something I'm missing?

If not, 5G has nothing to do with application-level control (eg: controlling a drone's movements, intercepting a camera feed, etc). We'll still use TCP/IP, HTTPS, and everything else we use today. It may or may not be a concern right now (due to inadequate security at the higher OSI layers), but 5G -- or any other type of network topology -- does not change this. Please don't spread this type of psuedo-technical nonsense by making statements like this, especially with anything "5G" which is a current media fascination for some reason (starting to get bored with "IoT" maybe?).

tl;dr religion is spiritually optional. god is truly within. you are your own church.

What people really need to acknowledge is that humans are naturally spiritual animals. I like to theorize that we evolved spirituality as a mechanism to cope with being lonely intelligent beings. Imagine being a feral yet intelligent, self aware, social being with few others like yourself wandering the land, surviving as wild animals. We knew nothing of how anything worked. What made the lightning and thunder, what fire is, what volcanoes are, disease, predators, earthquakes, drought, floods, etc, and the most scary of all, death. Then throw in more layers of emotional complexity thanks to that big complex brain. What a lonely and terrifying existence. Who do you talk to in a time of great need? Who do you cry out to? For a near infinite number of reasons, we can't always express our feelings to others so we created internal people to listen to us. Those people are gods.

So remember, religion fulfills the humans natural need for spirituality. Religious leaders are nothing more than personifications of our inner gods we can both speak and relate to. So think of religion as a form of spiritual food. And I can see the benefits of religion in the social sense where a common inner voice brings people together based on common spiritual grounds. It also introduces another very important concept which helps reinforce diciplice and even learning: ritual. This was incredibly important in the early days of human evolution, it's probably one of the first forms of casual social bonding we developed. Of course there are those who seek power over others. And what better way to socially hack groups of people via exploiting highly vulnerable built in behaviour? This is where religion and spirituality diverge, when it's used for control. Religion has been corrupted.

I grew up catholic but don't like religion because I don't find its dogma spiritually nourishing. However I do pray, not to a god but to the ether or friends and family who have passed. My church is whatever brings me inner peace, though stereotypically I'm naming nature, the wilderness away from society. I'm not sure on an afterlife, and I've half come to peace with accepting that there may be nothing beyond this life. So I mix in ritual, spirituality, philosophy and disciplines into a sort of mini religion for myself. Life is a complex maze and having something to listen to your woes is incredibly comforting, and that's what god(s) really are, comfort. Admittedly I'm still hungry. But that's part of the spiritual journey: finding good spiritual comfort food.

I am a college dropout turned coder who eventually re-enrolled in school and want to shout out Western Governors University. I would have never gone back if it was 4 years and a huge amount of money. WGU offers the ability to test out of every class (or complete a project) for credit. You also pay by the 6 month term not the credit hour. This means for people who already have the skills or who have the work ethic you can finish a large number of credits very quickly. In the past 5 months I have completed 60~ credits. I will finish in likely 9 months and will pay no more than 7k total for the two semester.

A world of difference from 20-30k at 3-4 years.

> Chrome wouldn't have gotten anywhere if it wasn't a very good browser. It is good. But, I don't think it could have been that kind of wipeout without leveraging google's greater web dominance.

Google's marketing for Chrome was (and is) so aggressive that literally every single Google-owned web property asks you to install it for the "best experience." And more often than not, because Googlers never test for other browsers, Chrome does offer the best experience on Google sites. But that doesn't mean it's the best browser experience, which is a totally subjective metric based on an individual's preferences.

Regardless, Google pushed it so hard, bundled it with so much software, and threw it in users faces so much that most non-technical users probably would have ended up with it installed -- probably set to the default browser, because of more nagging -- regardless of Chrome's quality. Even now, as Google makes steps to neuter adblockers, the average user continues to use it. Why? Because they just don't know any better or care. And I can't blame them: it takes immense effort to even use Firefox now because of random sites based on Google tech that break in every other browser. Chrome is certainly the easy way out.
As somebody who had one of those Windows RT Surfaces, and still drags it to meetings when I forget my real laptop at home, I think they were just too early, as Microsoft often is. Office 365 was in a much less usable state three or four years ago when they rolled out RT, and it coincided with the Windows 8 UI debacle. It didn't help that the machines themselves were really quite wimpy, and a lot of the work that has made cross-platform apps more viable in the ensuing years hadn't been done yet, so there was a dearth of software that you could actually use on them.

Frameworks like Rails/Django are still an extremely viable way to go; even just for an API.

If you need that kind of scale then great, but it's more likely that "you ain't gonna need it".
