Just cause of collateral. You can impound a car, foreclose on a mortgage, sell it and get back much or most of your money, which is why rates can be a lot lower. You can't compound on a college dropouts partial knowledge. And given there are various ways to get the loan forgiven, and with college dropout rates being as high as they are, and given the (popularity and) volume of degrees with low financial returns...

Fact is, most studies show that the returns on education in the US are quite high, higher than much of the rest of the world.

Where I am from (EU), you're not dissuaded to pursue a degree with low financial returns. My college fees are 10k in total for the entire bachelor+master's programme, and you can borrow 50k during those 4 years currently at 0% interest. I love it, but our returns on education are quite a bit lower than in the US because we subsidise things that don't work, or prevent it from failing, and incentivise people to study things they don't need or have no economic value. And it doesn't necessarily make the country better off.

I'm not saying economic value is the only metric that counts, there are other reasons why I'm in favour of pretty strong educational subsidies. But there's also benefits to the US system too that we don't have. And it's too easy to say the US is intentionally ruining the next generation, that's just not true.
Depending on the role, data science is generally either [data analysis (with very little modelling) + business understanding + communication and presentation skills], OR it's [statistics + software development]. There can be some deviation and mixing between the two, but to help with the latter:

- linear algebra

- calculus

- software development - best practices, version control, design patterns etc.
"Our mission is to make pediatric healthcare more accessible."

Well, they could just release the algorithm / paper / java / app if they really wanted to make it more accessible.

I agree they should be rewarded for their findings, but these kinds of healthcare apps should be free and open source
But you cannot opt out of being used by google when one of your friends has a gmail account.
Even Facebook is not "constantly" tracking people. They only track people when they are on Facebook, in one of their apps, or on sites that integrate Facebook's pixel/javascript. Granted, that is alot of places, but it is far cry from "constant" tracking.

They may outgun a single person but they won't outgun a large scale uprising. You're also assuming the police and military will always obey orders, which hasn't always been the case, especially when government goes dictatorial.

We haven't (thank god) had a situation in the USA where actually shooting at law enforcement is a good idea. That is, where you're literally at war with the government and trying to replace it with another one, which will in turn recognise your actions as not against the law. On the other hand, things like home invasions happen daily.
> Was it from Packt?

From a 1st tier publisher. ;) But I concur with another comment, it's hard to justify not going with self-publishing in 2019. More so if you're not doing this for money. I would prefer to publish a completely free ebook (like Pro Git, etc.), but it's hard to negotiate this with traditional publishers.
This is very similar to a pollution problem: companies abusing and then dumping discarded humans, a most toxic waste indeed.
Of course I'll get downvoted for this, but in any case: I expect the pejorative use of "whore" from 13 year olds in youtube comment sections, but less so from a front-page hacker news post.
So would you go with something like https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki with a Pi+camera+enclosure?

What hardware do you recommend?
> If you make your project open source, your goal should be maximizing people using it, not maximizing how much you profit from it.

Then it has failed miserably at it. For almost each open source project, there is a closed source that has more users. Windows, iPhone, Photoshop, etc.

Making money is a great way to invest in marketing, and reach a broader audience.

Remark that I'm typing this on my Linux desktop, so I'm definitely not opposed to OS.

In my opinion, the biggest benefit is that you have more ownership, because you're able to make modifications and improvements without being blocked by 1 company. I for one, will always avoid closed sourced libraries. I had way too many blocking issues in the past, so I prefer libraries where I can fix things as fast as I want to.
So in the time frame that Apple has switched connector once for the iPhone, there has been at least 3 versions of small USB connectors (Not counting the larger types here that are at least 2).

Usually Apple is the one scolded "for switching connectors every few years to suck out more money" How come?
In the UK, since the early 1980's, it has been considered political suicide by a succession of both conservative and labour governments to not give money to the middle classes in the form of large increases in the value of their homes. This is one of the main reasons we have built about half as many houses as Canada since 1980, while having around twice the population.
No interest in trying it. As an old-timer I find this funny. Windows 1 had a superb tiling system. I disliked it. Reviewers complained for years. I wanted independent windows and never looked back when they appeared in Windows 3 or so.

As a guy who runs a company I can see a massive in benefit in a world with only tiling window managers, which is that it reduces support and accessibility issues when a window can never be completely hidden.
No it wouldn't (or "citation needed" if so).

The issue is not that the airplane shows negative or neutral aerodynamic pitch stability, it's that it does not exhibit an increasing stick force gradient, as required by certification rules.

Probably a bit too novel but why not just not killing other people? I mean we’ve had a long history that doesn’t include random acts of mass murder why now? Couldn’t we work to fix the actual problem instead of reacting with more theatrics? Seriously, build a culture that engenders good self esteem instead of the abuse laden bully culture we live in now!!!
The problem is that everyone is guilty of something. The laws are so complex that it's impossible to not be in a violation of something at any given time. Once surveilance becomes ubiquitous, your only choices are 1) put everyone in prison 2) enforce laws selectively. 2) is of course leading to totalitarianism, where no one is ever innocent - I'm from Poland where the secret police during communism operated on this exact principle. No one is innocent - they just haven't been found guilty yet.
I know that this is going on in the US so it's normal that your comment is from an American perspective, but:

1. It is nearly impossible to "choose to just no use Google". Tell me how long you can go without getting through reCaptcha or AMP for example (with AMP, often you don't even realise you're using it).

2. From what I hear, it seems that in the US many ISPs operate mostly in a situation of monopoly but this is rare in many other countries (with the exception of remote/rural areas). I know it's just anecdotal but I used to move frequently for work and I lived in many different countries in Europe/Asia/South America/Oceania and it never happened that I couldn't choose from at least a couple different broadband providers, except in one single case (village in a rural area in a South East Asian country).

You might find it interesting that Stallman supports selling exceptions to the GPL (i.e. dual licensing). You can read more about it on the FSF blog [1] but the post ends with the following:

> I consider selling exceptions an acceptable thing for a company to do, and I will suggest it where appropriate as a way to get programs freed.

Increase in tuition is almost entirely due to pull back in state funding coupled with increased administrative/executive overhead. Vast majority of increase don't go to faculty. Keep in mind tuition has increased by 3.1% each year on inflation adjusted basis [1]. I don't think faculty paychecks have increased by that rate anywhere close.

It's an example of the intermingling of two different schools of thought. In the wiki link there's no determination on the primacy of influence, but it does tell that Greek populations were taking on Buddhist ideas (indeed 'converting' to buddhism) before the birth of stoicism. In that light, the notion that these ideas traveled back to Greece doesn't seem that far-fetched.
> ...less damaging to society?

Sorry for the nitpick, but this part really irks me. It could only be true if you define "society" as "people in the US".

American ISPs target American citizens. Google targets pretty much everyone who uses the Internet, regardless of their country. Of course, it's understandable that the US justice system only targets people in the US, so I'm only being nitpicky because you've used the term "society" there. American ISPs, regardless of how shitty they might be, will never be more damaging to the society than a company that impacts the whole world.

I was responding to this comment:

> Sure, a backup would have been a significant improvement, but still – a backup only protects against data loss and not against downtime.

Assuming you have data backup / recovery good to go, the downtime issue needs to be solved by getting your actual web application / logic up and running again. With something like docker-compose, you can do this on practically any provider with a couple of commands. Frontend, backend, load-balancer -- you name it, all in one command.

> Containers solve the easy problem, which is how to make sure the dev environment matches the production environment. That is it.

Speaking of "patently false"...
>The people in that industry are surprisingly not tech savvy

As the quote goes, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it" - I'm confident that things would be entirely if the industry suddenly found it in its best interest to become tech savvy.

Skimmed your two submissions and have 2 suggestions-- 1) cull your words relentlessly. 2) write in a reader-centric, not you-centric way. Your articles don't grab reader interest.
Salient line:

While Storm's Clojure implementation served it well for many years, it was often cited as a barrier for entry to new contributors. Storm's codebase is now more accessible to developers who don't want to learn Clojure in order to contribute.

Very common story that I hear from a lot of shops that tried to go Clojure first. Great language, but too little penetration amongst developers. Makes it very difficult to effectively recruit employees/contributors.

At some point, you just accept that it's more important to get a new warm body than to continue pursuing some idealized programming perfection.
I suppose the Japan speciality is that this happens even in big cities?

Generally this nature of housing is taken for granted in places all over the world. Most townas and cities are not fast-growing.
The name is not the language.

You can fork Go, call it Glag, and you will have a language that is interoperable with Go. In fact, it is Go - you just changed the name. And this is perfectly OK to do.

If I take Spanish, rename it Bogolog, and start speaking Bogolog around Madrid, people will understand me. Why? Because it's the same language they're speaking, I just changed the name.

The language is not the name.
Even if you are expecting financial gains self publishing is still very valid. (I am talking from personal experience where my self published tech courses make more money that my editor published ones). Dont forget that even though editors do the marketing for you you only get a small fraction of the total sales. And also they might not be very good at the special niche you are targeting.
I'm surprised noone yet on HN mentionned how Rust would have avoided the failure :)
My favorite quote from the first article: "The varnish I used is intended for oven-drying at 140 to 150 degrees Celsius. I don't have an oven large enough to fit this coil, so I heated it by applying roughly 20A of direct current to the high voltage winding. I monitored the temperature by measuring the resistance change of the wire."

The solution belies a very deep understanding of the principles involved. Both the heating and the thermal regulation were improvised.
If the pilots were putting that much force on the yoke it is pretty apparent that the pilots really truly wanted the plan to do what they asked of it.

I am curious what scenarios the designers of the plan drove then to not trust that the human in the seat really has no idea what they are doing. Was the ignoring the wishes of the pilot and attempt to prevent a crazed irresponsible and unlicensed idiot from doing something? These are trained humans why does the computer totally ignore there efforts?
“disaster to the world”, “fight to the end”, “at all costs” (“at all costs” solemnly repeated twice in the actual speech); there is some very concerning signaling in this speech by China’s Defense Minister.

Full speech here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OSoQ0_Grauk
The USA won that war — it’s the peace which they’re struggling with, and that’s a very different thing. Doubly so when you’re trying to install a friendly democratic government and the only reason your troops are still there is to support that new government — what would have happened (politically) if the French had kept troops in the USA after the war of independence?

Police and soldiers (should) have different goals and tools.
A few weeks ago I watched the police detain a drunk 60-ish Russian man in Prague who screamed at people visiting the protest (against Babis, the prime minister who is directing EU fund money to his corporation Agrofert) that we're "ungrateful bitches" and "we'll [Russians] be back to take what we gave you".
> build a culture

That's good sentiment and we should definitely work towards it; but do we have examples of our civilization actually doing something like that? Culture continually changes, but to what degree can we influence that change? If we were to take up something like this in an organized way, what kind of precedents or past examples would we look at?
"While Storm's Clojure implementation served it well for many years, it was often cited as a barrier for entry to new contributors. Storm's codebase is now more accessible to developers who don't want to learn Clojure in order to contribute." - interesting phrasing. Seems that the authors assuming that new contributors are more willing to learn Java instead of Clojure. And those who know Java find Clojure difficult to learn? Clojure, in fact is quite easy to grasp - especially for someone coming from Java, as you would still be working on JVM and always have Java Interop. I guess same thing goes to someone coming from Erlang to Elixir, where you are still working in the familiar ecosystem.
I use Google Keep and add all my personal learnings under a common label - <name> Wiki. Google Keep has excellent search capabilities too so easy to find what you're looking for.
How are these vs the gTile linked in the article? (https://github.com/gTile/gTile)
You missed the point that both parties accelerate, we are not talking about constant velocity here.
First thing that comes to mind is, are these scanners safe – i.e., do they have any kind of active radio wave source? How reliable are they? Can they malfunction and emit harmful radiation?
Is it health certified for kids, adults and pets? What about medical safety devices? Is there a stringent regulatory body certifying these?

Second, how does law enforcement of the normal kind work in a society vs how does terrorism prevention work? For the later, intelligence gathering/sourcing, infiltration etc. - isn't this the only realistic (scalable) way for it work? If terror prevention becomes part of law enforcement job, then we will end up with a police state that is unlivable (in effect, terror is now perpetrated by state!)

Now, is this scanner device to be installed in public places – is it for law enforcement or for terror prevention? If the day-to-day life habits require this level of monitoring for law enforcement, then that society is screwed up beyond repair.

Btw, in my country we have X-ray for bags and metal scanner for body in every hotel, mall, theater, public transport hub, offices etc. There's usually a security guard who will wave a wand on your body but doesn't really know how to use it. For vehicles they make you open the trunk and boot and visually inspect as well as look underneath with a mirror. But I have not seen any 'positive' (false or otherwise) catch.

In movie theaters, the best I have seen them catch and confiscate is outside food (for commercial policy reasons, not security) and cigarette lighters (for fire safety and smoking ban).

It was irritating at first, but now everyone has become numb to it and you just go through the motions.
It's not necessary to diagnose it until several days have passed.

That's not to say just ignore the earache, but you don't have to go to the doctor to get a diagnosed for couple days. Only if it's still there after a couple days then go.
What do you mean by "need"?

I think you can be perfectly content without making new friends online, if that's what you mean. But the line is blurry. Do you consider keeping in touch with friends who you used to hang out with but don't live in the same place any more as "online friendships"?

Fun fact. The original 737 actually had two yaw dampeners because they expected it to have diverging yaw stability. Just by chance the airframe is actually positively stable so can operate safely with no yaw dampeners so one was removed.
Can you elaborate on the third point with any resources for Best practices and Design patterns? I looked into Amazon and came across a few books for both.
Many people have commented that Data Science should move towards Software best practices, etc. As I am a statistics major, This is a gap that I would have to bridge. Thanks.
I think a lot of people doing the drawings are either dyslexic, or maybe just do not care. Also, engineering companies don't tend to have proofreaders. I can proofread, but learned quickly that I should not bother proofreading the drawings that came through. All it ever achieved was a torrent of abuse, combined with a flat refusal to even think about getting a new drawing issued.
In case anyone wants to avoid bad Android issues by buying an AndroidOne phone: I have one (Nokia 3.1+), I'm stuck at Android 8.1, the security update is from February 5th...

After having been burned w.r.t. security updates by Samsung, then Motorola, and now Nokia, I'm more or less done with Android (once I have enough money to ignore the wasted Euros...).

It seems only people able and willing to spend 500+ Euros every year deserve basic security on Android.

I seem to have somehow forgotten or missed the fact that it was MIT re-licensed a couple of years ago, instead of the previous "no commercial use" stuff. Thanks for the submission!

Controlling for city/highway miles would be a great start. Then it would also be helpful for Tesla to compare itself against vehicles of a similar fleet age, price range (demographics make a big difference in the likelihood of a crash), and with similar modern safety features such as AEB.

Of course, they are famously cagey with all of this data, always preferring instead to point to the "Autopilot miles vs. all miles driven" number.

> “It’s obviously a misrepresentation,” said Hemant Bhargava, a UC Davis professor who specializes in technology management. “You’re only in autonomous mode in the best scenarios, so the number of crashes will be lower.”

Debt can also be stretched over a lifetime of work, so I’m not sure how you’d avoid factoring debt into this.

Anyway, entering into an investment fully knowing that you can’t expect any quantifiable return seems like a terrible thing to teach children.
This would have the effect of drying up the credit market for completely unsecured 5-6 figure loans to teenagers. This is the intended effect.
I gave you an updoot because I am exactly like you.

We, are introverts.

Introverts can function in the real world, but only for short bursts at a time. We can make friends, go to parties, even be the life and soul of a party - but only for short bursts at a time, then you'll usually find us chilling out somewhere quiet, recharging our metaphorical batteries.

A lot of people confuse introversy with being shy or timid or other negative connotations, and they'd be incorrect.

There are many good articles on what being an introvert is and means. For example https://introvertspring.com/what-is-an-introvert/
Inescapable indeed,

Special mention to reCaptcha, you just doomed to train there AI and it seems to intensify once you start moving away from google. And I bet it's even worst from the 3rd world...

I guess the "don't be evil" way would be to make all those data public. Or just to provide an alternative way to prove your humanity online, without enslaving the whole world.

I think you are talking about economic roles now. Teens have lots of social roles within their own groups, all over urban/pop culture in general, as family members, and of course they're still part of the economy and labour force in a big way in many places.

China will not start a war with the US. Of course everybody knows that a war is unthinkable.

The message is that China will not be bullied and will fight its corner whatever it takes.

I feel that the US still have an imperial and frankly sometimes racist view of the world with them at the top and everyone else underneath. I think that has to change for everyone's benefit.
