Exactly.

America just needs to add a new section to the Constitution, and call it the "Rules of Acquisition".
Perhaps I should have said "not outrageously toxic" or something of that sort, because that does not sound worse than the stuff we make normal bullets out of - lead.
Alternative less-clickbaity headline: Alabama incentivizes students to stay at games by offering improved chances of getting playoff tickets.

When I first read the headline my mind naturally jumped to the most extreme interpretation: Alabama was using some sort of involuntary tracking technology to lower students' GPAs if they don't attend football games. Obviously very far-fetched, but knowing how much Alabama loves their football, not completely implausible.
The horizontal posture seems favourable for Sauropod racing.
And that's where you have this divide of people who have an EE degree but can't assemble their own designs to save their lives, and those with just a technical background who may struggle to design and understand their own circuits, but who can build them to expert level standards.

There are plenty in the middle who can do both - and more than a few of them with such knowledge have never take a college or university course in their life.

You see the same thing with software engineering sometimes - the CompSci graduate who can't code their way out of a wet paper bag even if given a github of fizzbuzz, versus the person who never went to college yet makes 6-figs in SV hacking on code (yet doesn't have the "book understanding" of data structures or algorithms).

...and tons of people in between those who can combine both.

Slap 'em together with similar people in the trades - well, you'll find yourself a myriad of people at all levels and understanding of "mechatronics" and/or robotics and such.

It is quite likely that your roommate could learn what you learned - and you could (or have) learned what he knew. It ultimately all depends on having the motivation and desire to pursue it.

Where you might have the advantage is that you could probably pick up his skills from online resources and simple practice projects or whatnot. He would probably struggle to do the same, without actually going into debt and attending some kind of university course(s). Some of it can be approximated with self-study and some online MOOC training, but not all of it, unfortunately - and he wouldn't have the "piece of paper" at the end.
I have said for a long time that having a child die is one of the most human experiences (more flagrantly "welcome to being human"). We are fortunate to live in a time where it has become a rarity. Nice to see someone try to put numbers on it.
In the absence of taxes, how would you suggest we structure society?
Nice. Glad to have a viable alternative to Dropzone.js. Although I think there needs to be built-in support for pre-signed URLs, like here: https://github.com/kfei/vue-s3-dropzone/blob/master/frontend...
The issue is that Huawei, like any other Chinese company, is an extended branch of the government. Auditing source code doesn't change the fact that Huawei is legally obligated to turn over data to the CCP.
No, you wouldn't. There is actual reporting that takes place in the world. Like all things, what is and isn't reported or investigated is slanted by whoever is doing the reporting. But pure editorial is a very different beast.
I’ve joked with my advisors interest in cryptocurrency is a great predictor of mental illness.

Unfortunately under the current system, parents are motivated to let their kids play the game not just by the prospect of professional success, but also by the prospect of admission into a school.

If football were brought into line with other college club sports, the pressure to pick football in particular would be diminished. People looking for academic scholarships could instead choose to play something less hazardous, without worrying that they were limiting their opportunities.
There is no such thing as a "Flash programmer" and there never was. You are either a practitioner or you are a programmer.

A year to learn a different stack and put it into practice to satisfy the prior art? She was no programmer. She was applying rote patterns and had no programming ability.

Stop conflating practice with programming ability.

It's like saying she was a doctor, but it took her a year to learn to use a different stethoscope.

In 2000 during the dot-com boom we learned to talk about IT "tourists", and the tourism did not end with the crash in 2001.

If you direct your career by keeping a close eye on job postings, you are definitely a tourist.

The bootcamp culture and the emphasis on teaching young people to "code" is nothing better than the travel agency encouraging people to spend their vacation dollars on a trip to the Caribbean. Creating more tourists to satisfy the demands of an expanding industry does less than nothing to satisfy the real technology needs of a growing sector.

Nurses are not doctors.
College football players need a union. The upper echelons make millions, and the students get a free ride and traumatic brain injuries. Hardly a fair deal.
You can make a model where the speed of light is relative and be totally consistent with all the scientific observations. That model would be more complicated though.
I feel a lot more clear minded, which makes deep work easier. I feel more in tune with my intuition, with drives my creativity. I don't waste time with people who have to drink/smoke to have fun. I make more time for my niece and nephew and my parents, I am a lot more patient with them.

I'm only 29 so this is all revolutionary for me, feels like I am hitting my full stride as I go into my 30's.
It's the basis of evolution in general. Something can be perfectly optimized for an environment, but when that environment changes they may go extinct from it.

so instead don't necessary want perfectly optimized, we want good enough, because inside that good enough is where adaptability to changes comes from.

You should have a look to pwcalton's Twitter feed if you want a quick overview of how nice the tools in questions are. Getting a kernel panic when running Xcode doesn't sound like “nice debugging tools” to me…
I don't see the math adding up there, how the average person could have their own mini police and fire force, or any of the countless pieces of infrastructure that we all use. Taking out the portion of our taxes that goes to things we might not want doesn't even begin to cover this. Most of this stuff is available and works at all because everyone pays a little bit and economies of scale kick in to make it less than if each person rolled their own solution.

Severance package. Try to negotiate for a few months of severance. Make sure the wording includes language for no longer employed by. So that if you decide to quit, or they let you go they will pay you a wage before any unemployment for a given term. But also includes it being open if you do start another job right away that they still owe you. Also try to get health insurance during the term as well.

Then at review time try to get more added time added to it. So that over time you can get more weeks of pay. This can be a bargaining chip if they can’t afford a giving a raise, that you would accept more time for the severance package instead of a raise. While it might also seem silly if a raise is offered but no increase in severance counter with a proposal with a smaller raise and severance.

Do this until you have 6 months to a year of severance. Start low with say 2-4 weeks but try for 12 weeks.

This will buy you protection in the future if work becomes hostile, or a super visor start pulling crap trying to make up bs on performance reviews to try to justify letting you go.

Make it expensive for you to leave the company and that they need to be honest, fair and ethical with you at all times, or you can play the fuck it card and sit at home and still get paid while you look for work. If they let you go same deal, but you then get any unemployment after the severance terms are up.
The places where the profitability of football is in question is basically everything lower than the 5 main conferences (Big 10, SEC, ACC, Big XII, and Pac 10), and especially the schools lower than that level which aren't reliable winners. (Think the San Jose State's of the world)

Clemson football generated 50 million dollars last year

While 93 million over 10 years works out to being a pretty sizable chunk of that for one employee,

yeah, its still a profitable enterprise
I was thinking more about the confident assertions you often see here in hot political topics. It's good to get in the habit of taking a step back and saying "wait, how much do I really know about this?"

To apply this principle here, I'm not sure I know much about what Hacker News readers do. It's easier to know what they comment about, since this is something I actually see.
There are several ways it can play out. Governor can veto the bill or can seem amendments that codifies some exemptions for the gig economy. If the bill passes as is, Uber will most likely continue to operate as is and battle it out in court. The ABC test is still fairly vague and if you can build a true marketplace, where buyers and sellers have full control, you don't have to change anything. Think of the eBay model. Uber can make some fundamental changes, like allow drivers to set prices, select rides etc. and give them more control. If Uber chooses to convert some drivers to employees, they will probably raise prices to cover those costs. This will play out over the years, but the fundamental message is clear, don't run a business whose business model depends on having everyone as "contractors"
Ethical concerns aside, why didn't they do some simple load testing before putting the app in production? Seems like it would be obvious that your api needs to handle 17,000 requests at a time if your making "fan" software for college football games.
"Non-profit" doesn't mean that profit isn't the primary motive. It just means you can't show any profit, or return it to shareholders, as in a corporation.

Instead, you do things like giving the University President an absurdly enormous salary, plus put him up in a lavish mansion, or go on a construction spree, building more and more very expensive buildings and stadiums, or give a 7-figure salary to the football coach.
True, but the alternative is tungsten, which is not much better in terms of toxicity:

https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp186.pdf

The problem here is that armor piercing rounds need to be made of heavy metals in order to work and heavy metals are generally toxic. Even lead, which old fashioned bullets and shells are made of is toxic.
This agrees with my experience during particularly stressful days at work. I weigh myself every morning and can see a significant drop in weight during days where I am stressed/mentally taxed.

I expect it'll be quite a while before, say, a GP augmented by an AI is price-competitive with a board-certified dermatologist.

I'm curious about whether you could just send a (de-identified) photo with maybe some additional basic info to a web service that then spit back a differential. I don't know about costs (sounds relatively low cost to run, maybe a subscription like UpToDate?), reimbursement, or whether this suddenly would be a regulated device, but if I were a GP I would love something like that to help me -- it would make me faster and better at my job. I don't need to compare to board-certified dermatologists.
And yet all of them also selected lead for their infantry weapons, which is similarly toxic.

It feels like it is [amazing], but it also feels like propaganda. (Of course it could be both: propaganda can be based on truth.)

I suspect if you take away tenure being based upon publication, you will find that many statistical measures become more honest. You can abolish statistical significance, but it won't stop the abuse of knowledge, which is the real problem here anyway.
Well hell man, you're actually making me feel better! Thanks. Maybe it's just because it's Friday but I'm going to roll with this for a while.

Based on the article's conclusion, I thought it was part of a funding campaign by the US R&D complex:

One solution might be to cut $60 billion or so out of the US intelligence budget and divert it to a crash R&D program to bring America up to speed in quantum communications and fifth-generation broadband, technologies in which China presently has the lead.

Podcasts run on advertising and there are many good quality ones. Subscriptions are good if you have either massively popular content or massively impactful and insightful content for professionals who can expense it. I think in current day and age it is possible to start making the latter. But you will not become popular without being free.
California has the 4th largest economy in the world and is growing faster than most states. In 2019 alone, California probably created ~$300bn in public value through IPOs. Clearly, the regulatory environment seems to be great for running a business
I don't mind the strong sports culture. College football has an immense history dating back to the late 1800s as an organized national collegiate activity. I'm a fan and I enjoy the history and pageantry of the sport. Athletic departments are self-funded by donations, TV rights, ticket sales, and merchandise, and they take no money that would otherwise be allocated to academics. They also can increase the brand of a university, as you pointed out.

I take issue with a couple things: First is that unpaid 'workers' are responsible for driving an industry now worth billions of dollars. Second is that some scholarship athletes are admitted to schools they have no business attending on academic merit, and end up in essentially remedial education. This is true even at prestigious schools with high-level academics.
"Defenders of the current system will often claim that football is profitable for universities and provides funding for academics"

It is spectacularly profitable at some schools, and often provides funding for the entire athletics departments (every scholarship for every fringe sport, etc).

https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/2019/09/12/college-f...

Of course it isn't profitable for all schools, but it certainly is for Alabama, and for most of the other schools that generally come up in the "football is expensive" discussion.

It isn't academic, but at the same time neither is music, or the arts, or many other essential elements of many post-secondary experiences. It has always been about more than the pure sciences or maths.

Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. are all extended branch of the Trump government as well. They collaborated with NSA to spy on other nations and its own people. It is a well-known fact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_My_Own_Grandpa - " a novelty song written by Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffe, performed by Lonzo and Oscar in 1947 ... Willie Nelson performed the song on his 2001 album The Rainbow Connection"

I know of it because "The song is referred to in Robert Heinlein's 1959 time travel paradox short story "—All You Zombies—"."

Also, "According to a 2007 article, the song was inspired by an anecdote that has been published periodically by newspapers for well over 150 years".
Vulnerability to hacking is only a minor issue. It's more about not investing in a company (Huawei) that is in bed with a government party that is and has been looking to undermine US/western interests.
I'm not familiar with Singapore or Japan.

I think it's a different topic at that point, not familiar with anyone advocating it in this thread or anywhere else.

Well, based off of some of my friends history of pirating books they think are too expensive, yes.
I was going to ask: actual weight or water weight? Because I do tend to dehydrate myself in new/unfamiliar places, especially when forced to do things to someone else's schedule and without my favorite things to drink on hand.

But a week seems too long to gain it back unless you weren't measuring very often.

I'd love to track blood pressure, pulse, and weight religiously but it's hard to remember to do any more than highly irregularly, and the app I use for bp and weight can't track pulse.
I'm generally pretty right wing and I generally think that the tech companies have a heavy left-wing bias. That said, Google already has a massive influence on journalism. From where we are, today, in the real world, this feels like a good change.

In my opinion. For what it's worth.

I feel like more people would have better search experiences if they knew about/used custom search. For example for wikipedia I've got my browsers set up so I can type "wiki <search term> and have that powered by wikipedia; why hit google at all.
