==In Poland's case, there are stupendously large numbers of people studying various branches of humanities (literature, psychology, pedagogy, law) which have poor job prospects in our country. After graduating, a lot of these people just work service jobs or emigrate to Western Europe (to work the same crappy jobs there, but for more money). It's an enormous waste of taxpayer's money, which is happening because the the students are spending out of somebody else's pocket.==

This leads to an entirely different discussion about whether universities exist to educate the populace or to train future workers.

==The result being, a median plumber making more than a median law graduate.==

Which should entice more people into the trades. Is that happening?
The one I would be interested in would be "home-after-schooling". I would love to have more resources to help support K-8 students learn how to do original research for science fairs, MOOCs for non-math subjects and programming. Basically Khan Academy type courses that can enable teaching economics, literature, philosophy to a 12 year old. The interesting non-math stuff for Khan Academy doesn't start until 9-12th grade.

I'd be curious as to why there is not an option to watch a recorded version with Outschool.
> Many of these institutions are selling shoddy products to gullible buyers.

Your point is about universities or higher learning institutions and is spot on.

But I'd say that even applies earlier on, starting in middle school. I distinctly remember being "sold" various career paths that were deemed noble but without the caveat of dim economical outcomes. Fortunately for me, I already knew I wanted to be a software developer and I stuck to my choice despite there not being much support from an academic side, at least not until much later. I knew back then that this is what I liked AND that this led to comfortable wages.

Money is not everything in life. BUT economy realities need to be disclosed to young students.
Just wondering, how common is it to define yourself as your job? My job is as boring and globally pointless as making cars. I'm not going to be so presumptuous as to claim to have an answer to such a philosophical question of what it means to be a man, but I do know "having the same job in perpetuity" would be relatively low on the list.

I might even think the reliance on politicians, or belief in their obvious lies about such situations as decidedly childish.
I don't know how somebody who calls themselves a "realist" would advocate for a known, actual, irrevocable damage to the planet over an avoidable, hypothetical one. Global warming caused by emissions is real, and things will only get worse. Society doesn't seem to be on the way of even considering doing the huge path correction needed to avoid the gravest issues.

Nuclear power is still an open question, avoided for decades now due to the false dichotomy of "nuclear or wind/solar" perpetuated by the mainstream
Because it's at the extreme end of the rating system.

That turns the system into "average or better" and various states of bad.

That's a stupid system. It means 4 ratings are completely useless to everyone. They don't really mean anything.

The entire system needs to be junked. It only turns the rating into currency. Where drivers and riders use it to punish each other rather than be honest.

There needs to be only one rating "Bad ride". And it needs to be complicated enough to reach that it can't be done as a reaction. From there, you can devise a rating based on the number of bad ride flags you've gotten compared to the rest of the population.

You do it compared to the population so it can't be done punitively. If everyone is spamming "bad ride", it doesn't matter. The system picks up on it.

Agreed. Anecdotally (my wife works for a small business that employs [mostly low voltage] electricians), a typical electrician makes roughly $35/hour. The business bills them out at $125/hour. It isn't the electrician making the big bucks.

A huge issue is region/nation. Unless you have luck with your trades business here in Germany and the market is not over-saturated and the guild actually lets you start the business, you're looking not at 100k€ but 30-50k€ per year, and that's with some significant seniority already so you're waaaay behind in earnings. The opportunities are there, but going into the trades, esp. when you look at the next 40 years, is not much better than giving university a shot (ok, it's no tuition here).

Plus, with a college degree, getting visas for abroad is easier and in these troubled times mobility of this sort is also something I wouldn't like to miss.
Hi. I work near the infrastructure and I care about its presence or lack thereof. Fortunately the oppressively loud, reverberating steel structure is no longer a fact of life. When I walk through that area I am literally no longer in its shadow. https://ourdoings.com/brlewis/2008-05-14
Not to mention the new HVDC tech that allows for very long transmission lines. That means that demand can be shifted by 2 hours in each direction in case of solar, depending on geography.
I'm not saying anyone is. I'm saying that nuclear power plants are expensive and people are stupid. Corners are cut and mistakes are made to protect their investment and bottom dollar. I've seen reports of concrete cracking on the outdated nuclear plants (operating past life expectancy) in the US and they're basically ignoring it because they're not critical components, but by the time something happens to a critical component it's a little too late. This is all to protect investment and you end up looking the other way until you can't anymore.
eBay is a great example of a feedback system with different expectations than a naive user might assume.

I used it mostly when you had positive, neutral, and negative. One might think that taking a few extra days to ship something or an item not being in quite as pristine condition as advertised was probably a good candidate for a neutral. Not bad/not perfect.

But that wasn't really the expectation. Neutral was more like "It took me two weeks of emailing but I finally heard back from the seller and they shipped the item which really wasn't as described but I just wanted the transaction done at that point" Negative was "They shipped me a box full of bricks and made me pay the postage."
Apple’s locking their customer base into their profitable products (iPhones) through services that work best on those devices. To their credit, Apple Music is available for Android, but is still much better integrated and available out of the box on iOS. By making their “house brand” products the default option, consumers buy into the ecosystem further and further and cannot exit very easily.

It’s like buying a house that can contain products from a special store that sells cheaper and better versions of name brand products that conform to your house’s design. If you move into a house built by another company, suddenly you must shop at a store where the options are more expensive and you lose access to some of the things you bought for your old house.
This seems extraordinarily well-balanced. I'm often skeptical of homeschooling (especially for religious or political reasons), but you've got a great curriculum and motivation.

I completely agree. If the company has performed proper compartmentalization of access and clearly documented who has access to what and it isn't just pencil-whipping, but you can prove the access is really compartmentalized, then the risk is reduced.

I mention the pencil whipping because I have seen financial institutions put on a really good show, but under the covers they are not doing proper management of ssh key trusts, ssh multiplexing, port forwarding, sudo or network access or encryption keys and they know which engineers to put in front of the auditors.
I lived in Chicago for four years. I’ve walked under the L hundreds of times. It’s fine.

You can get TPMS on a second set of wheels. I have them on my snow tires and they were like $80.
I think it depends on the level of trust that you are given in your position.

I got reamed on another forum for saying someone shouldn't be allowed in a certain role, after they sent $1 million to a fake bank account to someone posing as a supplier. But if your work place doesn't have controls in place to prevent that, it's part of your job to be that control and take additional steps to protect yourself and your employer.
I am amazed, everything you said is completely true and yet you are totally wrong. Sure your company is doing really well right now. You might even cash out or leave before it goes downhill but it will go downhill.

Low-Code, No-Code is too immature to build a long term sustainable business. It will ebb and flow for decades to come. Always getting closer to solving this list of problems (and the problems are real) until one day we as a society learn to understand where the value boundaries are for digital products. I don't see that happening in the next 50 years.
Did the link take you to a site that auto-ran malware? Or did it take you to some kind of page that said "login to unsubscribe"?

The latter is why password managers can be so valuable. I never type my passwords in so if my auto-fill doesn't activate I immediately become suspicious.

If it's the former, it seems like your company must be using an insecure browser or the site was running some kind of 0-day? I never think twice about clicking links.
It should be appealable. I see at least two problems with such a phishing test:

a) Some test phishing urls include the plaintext mail address of the employee. Easy to retaliate against someone you don't like.

b) Does the phishing test service detect if the link is accessed via a sandboxed env?
>His reasoning for making this program, he wrote, is “to have the right to know on both sides of the marriage.” After public outcry, he later claimed his intention was to allow women, with or without their fiancées, to check if they are on porn sites and to send a copyright takedown request.

This was going to happen one way or the other regardless; I don't understand why it's so important for the author to spin his reasoning for making it.

Google to restrict modern ad blocking Chrome extensions to enterprise users
Imagine a query - `select * from users`. Now, in my webapp, the user can pass a username, in which case I want to do `select * from users where username=<some string>`.

In naive sql land, people solve this with string concatenations. Its... fine, but there is a lot of complexity to getting it right.

In sqlalchemy you can do `q = session.query(Users)` followed by `if username: q = q.filter(Users.username == mystring)`. The library handles all the concatenation and type conversions and whatnot for you.

So far as I can tell- with this you literally just write both queries and call a different one? I don't see ANY way of doing code reuse. And in my toy example that may not seem like a big deal, but I remember lots of functions where I had tens of endpoints that each were making similar queries, with a number of optional arguments to each. With sqlalchemy, we can build a "active user filter" function, and reuse it everywhere. This seems to take away that option.
Simple economics won't allow something to become cheaper just because its a shame that some people don't have access. The goal here isn't to provide elite, one-on-one tutoring with experts, its to provide auxiliary help for those who need it. Outschooling seems to be taking a stab at being the next best thing, not an out-and-out replacement.

In America we've had decades of various people attacking public schools. So to look at the state of public schools and saying this is how things are, well you're ignoring a broad history of American conservatism taking objection to public schooling.

State colleges really vary by state. I grew up in Pennsylvania and when I graduated, our in-state tuition was already the highest in the country at around 16k. Now it's nearly $23k a year just for tuition in PA [0]. I went to a private college with nearly quadruple the sticker price and was actually paying less than my peers who went to Pitt and Penn State.

You're right about the community college. That is absolutely a way to save money, but in states like PA, you'd still have to pay nearly $46k for tuition alone. That's not including housing or transportation costs. It's not as easy as "2 years at community college and then transfer to a state school" for everyone.

That depends on whether you consider "lost income" to be damage. If I had a webpage or an ad business, for me it would be damage.
Keep toughing it out, hope you get this fixed somehow in your favour. It’s not easy sharing something like this and admitting you made a mistake. The good thing is you won’t make it again.
In what sense is the sandbox opaque? IIRC you can write your own sandbox rules in Scheme to define exactly how you want the sandbox to work.
Yes it does! Cost directly affects how much transit you can build. If it didn’t cost New York 5x as much money to build a mile of track as it does London or Paris, New York could build five times as much track for the same fares/taxes.

Preferably policy is made based on facts and common sense.

If you’ve ever worked a reasonably complex system I’m sure you’ll agree that minuscule changes or additions can have unforeseen and sometimes devastating consequences.

In large systems of complexity you usually end up with really weird, cascading issues. Things triggering other things, hitting edges etc.

I don’t think I ever worked anything remotely as complex a system as the earth (or... have I?), but looking at the graphs of co2 since the beginning of industrialization it’s quite clear we are making massive changes to a system that have had many thousands of years to get in tune.

Couple this with the fact that almost all experts in related fields seem to agree that the changes we’re seeing will be destructive and also difficult to mitigate you have something that just simply makes sense.

It would be utterly foolish not to make policy of it.
You don't need laws for that. You just need companies offering it and consumers choosing it. Which won't happen until it's easy to do.

Consumers can change a lightbulb and little else. Make it that simple.

Thanks! Yeah we feel lucky to have local groups and resources to make this happen. Granted we have also worked hard to get there!
While the $99 fee is a barrier, I'd argue that the Apple computer you're required to use is the real barrier to entry.

I'd love to get into iOS again, but I have no interest in owning an Apple computer right now. Android Studio, Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, and countless other IDE's run just fine on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

And we know damn well Apple could produce a version of XCode (or a derivative) that could run cross platform. They choose not to, so devs are forced to buy Macs.
> No, they weren't. Taxi companies operated legally. Uber routinely broke the law.

No, they didn't. At least, not in most US cities - I don't know how the laws work abroad. All a taxi medallion does is allow you to accept rides from people that hail you from the street. That's it. Limo companies and vans that you scheduled beforehand did not need medallions. There's functionally not much different from the service Uber provides and existing charter services, except for the fact that Uber used technology to make scheduling rides much faster.

The "Taxi Mafia" very much existed, though calling it a cartel is probably more accurate. Governments deliberately constrained the supply of taxis through medallions. Naturally, this resulted in inflated prices and poor service due to lack of competition. There's a reason why many people have little sympathy for the taxi industry's struggles to compete with ride sharing: taxis sucked.
I actually like the idea of having consequences for allowing tailgating, assuming the company cares about it. Maybe not firing, at least right away, or if you get tricked/someone sneaks in behind you, but put some teeth in the policy and actually enforce it.

If the company just says "don't do it" there is still social pressure to be polite and not slam the door in someone's face. But if there are consequences that everyone knows about then no one is going to begrudge you if you tell them they have to swipe their own way in.

Heck, put up signs that say "allowing tailgating is a serious offense" so that visitors are aware as well.
Thanks for mentioning, I didn't know of this. A classic Python module it is, sweet and simple.
==If there were less 4-year graduates, the demand would diminish at all the smallish businesses wanting bachelors and associates in business where they provide little to no value beyond just working for those few years anyway.==

Or companies may shift their workforce into higher-educated countries.

==Community college is junk, go to trade school or into a real profession and stop inflating entry-level job requirements at tax-payer expense.==

The idea that 2 years of post high-school education is "junk" is alarming. What is a "real profession" and who gets to define it? Wouldn't all the new trade school graduates just inflate entry-level job requirements in those fields and decrease wages?
I can't say that entirely surprises me. Reading through the other comments, seems like Windows IoT Enterprise is the best fit, which is something I didn't know about. I've always wondered how something like this is approached in the Windows10 era. They certainly have plenty of SKUs. I can see how you reached for the wrong thing, I can't say I would or would not have done all the research to find IoT Enterprise, may well have gone with LTSC myself if in your shoes.
Increasingly very common? Without religion and people going unmarried/without kids, your career has become the thing that you pay more attention to.

I don’t agree with it at all, mostly because too often a job looks like a toxic relationship more than anything else, meaning you as an employee are expected to be fully emotionally invested in your work, while at the same time your company can fire you in the blink of an eye and not think twice about it.
Could you help me specify why TS is a broken type system ? Thanks you very much.
From this and other comments in this thread it seems you have failed these phishing tests as soon as you click a link. Is the assumption here that you are completely pwned as soon as you visit an url controlled by an attacker? I can't imagine myself compromising company data/funds via a website where I ended up through a newsletter unsubscribe link so this seems quite unfair on the part of the phish-testers.

I've really enjoyed Angular. Typescript is a no-brainer now, and now that I'm starting to explore RxJS a bit more, it's impressive how powerful it can be once getting over the large learning curve. Being able to subscribe to an observer, and make a web request, and make sure that only the latest request is taken, and being able to do so out of the box is really, really nice.
This is the key to it, what is low-code good at and staying within that box while giving the ability to easily get outside that box when needed. With these successful examples, I have seen horrible abominations that should have never been made and are impossible to support because we "had" to take that low-code tool one more step beyond it's capability.
I'm not sure I get your logic here. Why does the fact that trucks are heavy mean that they don't belong below ground and must be at surface level?
