In engineering the quip was always "if you're paying for graduate school you're doing it wrong" ... to even get in the door for most hardware jobs fresh out of school you need a MS. A PhD may be preferred, and will start with a higher salary -- but put in ~5yrs instead of 2. As long as the tuition is covered and you make money as a TA or RA in a low-cost of living area you should come out ahead in the engineering field. Not sure how that translates to software.
And should be weighed against of the difficulty of trying to staff a team full of Haskell developers :).
I see. But still, even if they are a leader in most areas, they will not be leaders in every area. If they play fair, then we can learn and cooperate.

The answer to our losing leadership to them isn’t to capitulate and continue allowing undeterred advantage, it’s, as you imply, to on-shore some of those lost skills. It’s not impossible, but it takes concerted effort by government, industry and citizens (who care about environmental impact, working conditions, fellow citizens).
Days of Getting a Cheaper Cable Bill by Threatening to Leave May Be Over
Capitalism only "kills" people in a counterfactual sense. For example, you might posit that, had society gone out of its way to provide medical care to a sick individual, that person still would be alive. But that counterfactual is actually pretty complicated; it requires long chains of causation and dubious moral assumptions.

Communism kills in a very real sense: it literally murders by the million and creates deadly privation where there was previously none.
Sometimes there is. I've had security check my claim tag before exiting the carousel area at LAX before. But that's certainly not the norm, even at LAX.

I suspect it's risk based. If they have reason to suspect there's ongoing theft, then they add additional layers of security.

Outside of that... theft would be extremely risky. There's a good chance the owner is already at the carousel somewhere watching their bag come out, and there's cameras everywhere.
And number of graduate degrees conferred should come down. I'm not sure what purpose is being served by the vast majority of graduate degrees other than being a requirement to get your "foot in the door" because everyone else has one, too.
Something I've speculated on - being a student provides a person with an identity that is reasonably "high status", or certainly higher status than an entry level position one might be forced to take in absence of a finding a job in one's chosen field of study upon earning a Bachelor's degree. (Especially if it's a Master's program.) So, for some, continuing on with a master's degree is preferable, despite the questionable marginal return.

On the other hand, degree inflation is now a thing. In some fields, those you are competing with you for a job likely have master's degrees already, and you'll suffer by comparison.

The biggest issue, and I fall back on Rc a lot, is that often you end up needing Arc. Especially in async code, where Send is generally desirable. But it's a great way to get around annoyances with shared memory.
Fastmail also lets you use aliases to protect your main address. I only give out an alias with an alt domain - something like spam@jm4.eml.cc, linkedin@jm4.eml.cc, etc. No one has my real address. I basically only use it as my username. I give an alias to family. I just delete the alias or filter it to the trash if I have problems with it.

I'd be surprised if many harvesters are going to bother with rules just for Fastmail domains. First of all, they have a bunch of them. Second, the spammers' objective is to get email into your mailbox. They don't care if they use an alias to get there. Bad actors who got your info in a data breach are a different story, but there's probably some safety in numbers. There could potentially be millions of accounts to go after before they start thinking about reversing my Fastmail alias. Besides, if you use one of the generic ones like qq.com or eml.cc - or even better yet, your own domain - they're not likely to notice anyway.
"Eventually I feel I will go 100% pen and paper."

I'm still looking for THE epaper notepad that works well for note-taking, but also reading emails, managing a calendar, etc and that is also running Android.
HN users tend to parrot the safety line a lot because most people are working on web applications that store somewhat important user data, so gaining access to a remote machine due to a buffer overrun issue is catastrophic, but in games, especially in single player games, safety is less of an issue or even a non-issue. With a multiplayer networked game, cheating, attacks on servers and attacks on other players clients are a concern, but in a game that is entirely or mostly single player the worst outcome of unsafe code is that it crashes to desktop.
Glad to hear, maybe it was a series of isolated incidents and I caught the dev on multiple bad days.
With your second paragraph firmly in the back of my mind:

In the sister comment thread, two photon excitation seems to indicate that this intermediate state (0.5 in your coin example) is not invalid. Can you help me understand better?

I'm not saying there is any new problem, just that the problems of aging may still be rather similar to today, just happening later.

If life doesn't really go on forever and people still eventually die of some disease or other, that's a lot of old people who are on life support at some point in their lives, right? Just like today.
India's definition of what is and what is not a language is highly politicized and highly idiosyncratic.

Hindi and Urdu, by any reasonable linguistic definition are not separate languages. The official standards for both Hindi and Urdu, are both based on the form of the huge dialect continuum that spans North India and Pakistan, as spoken in Delhi. The only difference is that Urdu uses Persian and Arabic as inspiration/source for high vocabulary, whereas Hindi uses Sanskrit as a source for high vocabulary. And they use different scripts. But on the street level, the language is identical, not merely mutually intelligible.

Many of the languages traditionally clubbed by the Indian government as Hindi are much farther away from standard Hindi than Urdu.

$20M is .106% of Carnival's 2018 revenue and .047% of their assets. It's also only 1.5yrs worth of CEO compensation.

Definitely not "massive" for Carnival's scale if their company is operating in the $billions.

A $500 littering fine for the average person making $50k/yr is 10x more of a hit than what Carnival was slapped with for dumping magnitudes greater of trash into the ocean knowingly.

Plus someone is going to have to deal with fixing Carnival's mess. All Carnival had to do was write a check and send out a memo saying "Try harder to not get caught next time guys".
Yeah I've tried this several times and the code written for the std library is so different from LoB code(because the domains are so different) that you can only learn a small % of possible idioms from them.
It's a major advantage. I went to the same state university for my masters, so to me it was a continuation of my undergrad but in classes I was actually interested in. Even dumping money into a startup, I graduated with a low amount of debt. I lived a thrifty lifestyle, made money from internships, and after my sign on bonus for my full time job, I was debt free after graduation.

My concentration for my MS was AI & Computer Networks...which I've never used :) Because of market forces I'm an application developer.

I graduated 11 years ago and between then and now (married, 2 kids) I doubt I would have found the time and motivation to go back to school. It was around the housing crisis and jobs were crappy/not available so that was another motivation to do my MS. I also had the connections to form a startup (which failed) with other peers which has lead me to my current career.
I’m still upset about the terrible transmission on the Ford I purchased. I will never support them again.
This is Changan Ford, meaning a JV where Ford controls exactly 49% and Changan 51%. The fine is for anti competitive behavior in setting a floor on resale values, and it seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to fine.

I don't think this is very related to the trade war, as it is hurting a Chinese company just as badly as an American one.

You made a pretty inflammatory comment: "the market is people rich and lazy enough that don't want do the first half of the work".

He's just explaining that there is a market. It's probably an enthusiast market as well as wealthy people that can make this an impulse buy, but the opportunity for growth is to convince a much more general market to finance the bike and justify the monthly costs like they do their cable/streaming bills.

I understand you didn't want to interview for the job, I get not wanting to work on a product you don't care for... I just think your other comments made little sense and seemed more inflammatory than anything.
>Try to hold a rally in any town center without a permit.

Nope. You are now not only misunderstanding 2A, but 1A as well. A government body can not require a fee for a protest that does not impact normal property function (traffic, police, park use) and that fee can not exceed the actual costs. Nor can a government deny an organization based on content grounds. This example is bad.

If there are taxes on "lots" of other rights, and you used a poor example, I look forward to other examples to try and see your point of view.

>If being a gun owner who's registered not being a part of a well organized militia?

Well, because MILITIA means "any able bodied adult who can fight for defense of self or state", I am a member of the militia, and unfortunately so are you.

The words you are looking for aren't "well organized" but the text of 2A is "well regulated" which according to Oxford 1800 means "Well training, in good working order". Not "lots of regulations" and not as you imply "well organized" like a milita requires a phone tree if someone's going to be out sick on war days.

>Its interesting how you jump from extremely broad sweeping concepts into extremely detailed criticisms of proposals.

It's interesting how when presented with ACTUAL EFFECTS of a proposal (try me on any of them and I'll school you) you chose instead to wholly believe the propaganda. Which is exactly what it is, I mean... Who could ever be against "Universal Background Checks"!? Those have to be good thing and can't possibly be a tax on a right, an avenue for defacto ban, unenforceable, and an unconstitutional restriction on the free trade of personal property covered under an explicitly enumerated right.
Worrying about security while using a nightly version of Rust seems counterintuitive.
Funny that Oracle would not notice this from either an accounting or ethics perspective.
Everyone else is saying how absurd the 1900 calorie claim is, and comparing it to other types of exercise, but even if it is the much lower 360 calories, most sedentary gamers are more likely to do this multiple times per week than say, run a marathon, or even start doing a program like C25K. That's a huge win in my book...
Free college works just fine elsewhere.
Well when it’s free & the gov pays, they’ll make sure their budget is tight.
I suspect that it might be easy to port most code written in high level languages to Rust if you're willing to use "Rc" or "Arc" liberally. The drawback is Rc does not support cyclic garbage collection (AFAIK), so the resulting code would often have memory leaks.
New Stocks Data Type in Microsoft Excel provides Real-Time stock data
I used this technique a few times until I realized that spammers and, most importantly, companies that sell their user databases also know about it. So it's actually pretty trivial for them to strip the +something bit before any shady business. Now I don't really care anymore. Most spam are catch automatically anyway. Even when they're not, it's actually a tiny annoyance to me. And what am I going to do if I know for sure that some company sold my data? Sue them? I will most certainly not.
China is automating as well. I bet they’re not thinking “well, why bother trying to be the destination for offshoring, we’re gonna automate it anyway”. No, they understand strategic technologies, economic positioning, trade deficits, keeping people employed, etc.

Also, on-shoring and automation would make our workers more productive and thus be compensated better and reverse the decline in real earnings since the 80s.

And I'm getting a bit sick of my country committing war crimes and trying to cover them up (which was the subject of the story the raids related to).

I think it's more important for those responsible for the cold-blooded murder of innocent civilians to be publicly held to account than for the government's "right" to keep those killings secret, even if the law favors the latter.
Currently mostly non-technical: Marketing, Sales, CX.

The topic of school tier is a messy one. Unless you're in a big org that's running really active recruiting efforts at the source of top tier schools, you may not have a real representative set of high tier applicants to ultimately check for differentiation. This topic also gets political and ideological really quick, but we do have some reasonably sound data that says for example that (and I'm speaking broadly here) people with MBA's from "division 1" style schools tend to annihilate (to put it lightly) lower tier MBA's in work simulation exercises involving business acumen related competencies.

> The solutions you refer to don't exist, or can not be meaningfully deployed. I cite as evidence the article itself. Ebola isn't even all that contagious, really, and if those solutions were the solution to the problem, this article wouldn't have had to be written.

Did we read the same article? This article is about the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a nation which does not have closed borders with the rest of the world, and Ebola has not spread beyond it's borders. The DRC does not have adequate medical infrastructure, sanitation or education and therefore the outbreak is occurring there.

Europe and the United States do have effective technology, medicine and disease control, so there is almost no risk of a widespread Ebola outbreak here.

> once a highly-preventable epidemic sweeps through.

Until you present a pathogen with this quality that cannot be controlled in the western world this is science fiction. You might as well argue that xenophobia and authoritarianism will prevail once sentient androids revolt. Until you have evidence the threat actually exists you're arguing based on ideology.

”...it's mostly a matter of choosing which better C you want.”

For a beginner that can make things more difficult: in addition to the actual thing you want to learn, you need to first become a capable curator of language features from the past 35 years.

JavaScript today has the same problem: you can’t just start writing a web app because two lines into a tutorial you’ll be barraged with “So this is actually an ES2017b.71 feature that we’re enabling using babel-ts-flooginator, therefore you also need TypeScript and that means you need to...”

C feels clunky today, but writing more code in exchange for not having to curate the language can be helpful for learning.
This seems to really come down to a couple of factors:

- What program the student chooses

- Is said program at the University recognized

- If recognized does the program provide a proper mix of theory and application

- What opportunities does the program actively provide for the student

- Is the student willing to be an active participant in their education

- Is student and active participant in what resources the program offers

If yes to all of the above, then student really receives a proper well rounded education practical knowledge, and the resources to find a job. Along with that they have the tools to continue to be a competitor in the market and in their current employment.

Far too often it seems that a degree just implies employment and competitive salary. If properly used and taken advantage of it really implies being a much better competitor when all else is held equal.
The Race to Save Encryption
Mentioned in the article is a company called 2U. The Huffington post had an article not too long ago about how online program managers like 2U contribute to the high cost of programs, and how masters programs are specifically targeted because there are not reporting requirements on admissions.

Somewhat tangential, but unless you have a goal of using a product as much as possible, any algo that optimizes engagement is not your friend. It's like a waiter who always wants you to order more food.
Arguably, prestige is a euphemism for "not worth it," in that it's what people offer you when they don't want to pay market rate. See: title inflation, exposure, opportunity, etc.

When you are making a decision about whether to take a role, stay with your current one, or be content with it, the problem tends to reduce to a balance of these factors. Mistaking one of these for another is the recipe for being unsatisfied.
Pretty much. I had to stop running my VAXen 24/7 because they use a lot of power and my lab would get too warm.
