> Financial aid is code for student loans.

No, especially at well-funded not-for-profit private universities, “financial aid” often includes generous need-based grants (not scholarships, which are merit-based) that reduce the amount that must be met from student/family resources (including loans) substantially for non-wealthy students (not unheard of for it to be down to $0 for the poorest who manage to get admitted, and that's not just tuition but sometimes housing, books, etc.).
When I was shopping for a dryer I compared the running costs of heat pump dryers, condenser dryers and a regular waste-the-hot-air dryer. The payback time for energy efficiency was around 2,500 loads for condenser and 4,000 loads for heatpump. That's with New Zealand's fairly high power prices.
Chromium and also Electron are trustable sources. Besides that any Mac OS X App from 10.15.1 (Catalina) has to be notarized. I got the dmg notarized so I know that the malware is not the issue. Now asking every ElectronJS developer to know every single part of Chromium or even electron itself is a bit unreasonable.
I was a dishwasher/line cook in my 20's, I could hop jobs on a dime. Got fired one Friday, and had a better paying job Monday and that was in 2008. I wasn't even that good.
The better way to do this is to specify the vendored location and hash of the resource.

That way, you can safely leverage any version regardless of its downloaded location.

Content digests are already used in the `integrity` HTML attribute; it could be used for a cache key too.

It still has the version fragmentation problem, but you don't have to worry about picking a popular CDN.
Wow that’s really interesting, engaging people to find prior art with a bounty. That should be a continued thing, where people can hunt for patents and receive reward for anything used in a case.
IMHO, autonomous cars actually breaks Uber's model. It changes it from taking a % off the top of a market to a capital and maintenance intensive business. Only seems to work if they end up with some sort of franchise model. Sort of like how Coke has a bunch of distributors.

I may be forced into buying a new car soon if I can’t fix mine, and I’m also dreading it. I have an 07 right now, and I’m really worried about finding a car to buy that I can still work on myself. Having learned how to rip a car apart and put it back together, I can’t stomach paying someone else to fix my car for me.
Apple seems to have lost their focus, and that is reflecting all over their product line.

> Financial aid is code for student loans. If they meant a scholarship they would have said so.

At many of the high-stocker-price elite schools, grants are also a very real part of financial aid.

Grants effectively look like a scholarship but are typically need-based rather than merit-based.

Looked at another way, grants can be used as a discount on the tuition sticker price.
Never thought I would like owning a pickup truck, then I borrowed one for a while, and now I own one. I am not a farmer or construction worker, but my bed is also not clean =). So somewhere in the middle.

1) Get the obvious out of the way: they are big. This is both a negative and a positive, but with an energetic 6 year old, 2 full sized dogs, parents, and gear on a trip, there is enough room in our F-150 to relax and spread out. Negative is the gas mileage of course, mine gets about 20 all around. For commuting I drive an electric to pay back the gas karma tax.

2) Hauling stuff. Sure, you can rent a truck from the local hardware store, but the instant accessibility of loading up and go has appeal and value, at least to me.

3) Camping. I distinguish this from "off-road" because that's a different animal. Camper on the bed or trailer behind, truck is your supplies, bike haul, power, emergency living quarters and with appropriate care in drive lines can go almost anywhere after you unhitch.

4) Surprisingly, ride. This is entirely subjective of course but both the wife and I enjoy the ride quite a bit in the truck. It doesn't HANDLE well in performance situations, but that's not what trucks are for.

5) Also surprisingly, ergonomics. We both love the livability features of the truck. Storage all over, comfy seats, practical control layout, various automation assistance features. In the right trim they are pretty luxury, and we didn't even buy a particularly high end version.

Negative values that exist for some but not me are looks tough, usual male insecurity compensation stuff, it's bigger in the intimidate others sense, etc. There's a vanity identity to being a "salt of the earth" type with a truck, and of course the truck has nothing to do with the person driving it being one of those people, but there are those who believe it does.

My favorite goofy truck thing is people who get super jacked lift kits. Reason given is often ground clearance; rarely does this allow for much - it's the differential that often matters, and even with bigger tires, you're moving that thing maybe an inch or two up. It makes the center of gravity often pretty terrible as trucks don't do well in that regard to start with. I've seen people with massively jacked kits who then have to buy drop-down hitches to be able to haul anything.

IIRC, some of these old phones do have a second "coin cell" battery, which keeps the clock running even when the main battery is removed (the SIM card is usually below the battery, so you have to remove it to exchange the SIM card).

you simply notarized the app and you know that there is no malware. Also we are talking about ElectronJS and Chromium -- not exactly untreatable sources. Note that apple does check for malware and quality on the upload stage itself (now done via transporter) so it wouldn't even make it to then review state if something is dodgy.
heh. I thought the article was about the VCRs from the 80s.
There are a couple of services that do this. I've known about for a little more than half of the decade.
This was not what the title implied it would be.

Uh... how about a web page where you can just read them? Or, you know, a blog?

I'm tired of web sites asking me to sign up for their stupid newsletter, and I don't like stupid tricks like "oh look at this great stuff...... which you can't get unless you let us spam you." Usually followed by confirm-shaming.

No thanks.
I’m a patent attorney. Honestly this is pretty impressive—total scorched earth tactics against ALL of the entity’s assets? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before, and I bet it makes some people think twice.
> ZFS is still a pain to use for your root filesystem not because zfs on linux doesn't work but because its been legally questionable due to license constraints.

There are also technical reasons. ZFS is designed for Solaris' virtual filesystem (VFS) so every other operating system has to wrap some sort of Solaris Porting Layer ("SPL") on top to integrate it into their system. These are not insurmountable (clearly, it works well now).

As an OS person, I found this summary on the subject pretty interesting: https://wiki.freebsd.org/AndriyGapon/AvgVfsSolarisVsFreeBSD

> We can debate about whether that's a good use of money...

It's not. I can get a gym membership for $10/month. And I'm not going to college to get a degree in physical fitness.

And, your argument doesn't hold numerically. Say 440 euros/year = $500/year. That's 1/200 the cost to the student of the University of Chicago. So Chicago spends 5 times as much per student; it still looks insane from the cost/benefit perspective.
I wrote something to refute your example, but then I realized that you're right.

That wasn't always true. The US was once fond of trust- busting.
I am not smart , but before the phoenix accident that statement may have some basis but after that the uber autonomous car is tainted to an extent couple that with theft of intellectual property from Alphabet autonomous trucking and the subsequent deal made, it is hard to argue Uber is going to lead the autonomous revolution when it happens. Their current moat is their driver network (one of the moats), once that is gone Waymo and Tesla can pretty much pull what Uber does.
I had a 1:1 with the manager shortly after that meeting where we discussed me telling the manager to 'shut up'. I quickly made alternate arrangements before I got the boot.
Is there any technological reason we couldn't use nuclear-powered container ships? They're the same general scale as nuclear aircraft carriers.

Trains can also be electric and powered by a third-rail type system. Trucks and drones can be electric.

Obviously there are political barriers but if it really came down to this or the end of sea shipping I suspect those barriers could be overcome.
Completely agree Reflex is proper FRP. Redux does have some of the basics of FRP and you can stick to pure functions as well, which is limited by JS but not necessarily by the Redux pattern. I believe Redux is subset of FRP, that uses discrete commands instead of continuous function of time, and the time function can be made into descrete events for implementing commands. The rest builds on top of that.

You're right! I imagine that if we did just "go back to Nature" we would forget and do this all over again in a few thousand years, eh?

We need a new synthesis that incorporates our scientific knowledge with the deeper reality around us. That's exactly why I find TFA and Levin's work so fascinating: science is discovering that life thinks, which discovery then forms a bridge between the "mystic" experiential communing with nature and the "hard" rational-materialistic science.
I don't know if it helped, but G&T classes were certainly more interesting than the regular classes. Maths in particular moved at a glacial pace for the last 8 years of school - how many years of solving essentially the same quandratics do we really need.
> Hmm. if haskell types make up a small category that means 'a' and 'f a' are sets. I can't imagine a case where two sets cannot have a mapping between them.

This is irrelevant. The question isn't, does there exist a function, it's does the functor determine one. (Given any sets A and B there is always a function from A to B unless B is empty and A is nonempty. But that's not very helpful, is it?)

> I'm confused about this. Isn't the natural transformation from identity to another category (at least for small categories) equivalent to a functor?

This doesn't mean anything. A natural transformation is from one functor F:C->D to another functor G:C->D. Not from a functor to... a category? Huh?

Also smallness is irrelevant to all of this.
Which is absurd: It's illegal for me to take several million pictures of a tv show and sell it.
The author just described how bitcoin has property of money (being a speculative bet that a given asset will carry value in the future), and deduced that bitcoin is not money.
Reading from afar, it feels like cloudflare gained a lot financially from this crowdsourcing. But I've already suffered from such patent trolls, and I actually think crowdsourcing is a very nice way to fight them.

I think it is very interesting economically speaking. By participating into the crowdsource, people are basically selling their memories, not time actually spent on the task. (though I acknowledge it does take some time, even if it's just reading the patents).

> Companies aren't people, legally speaking.

Yes, they are.

> So are government agencies, unions, churches, mosques, guilds, charities. Does that means these are all people, legally speaking?

Yes, all those things have legal personhood.

> Companies cannot marry, vote, file taxes as a human, get a passport or driver's license etc, because they are not human, legally speaking

Being human, legally speaking, is different than being a person, legally speaking.

> Don't get confused about the words used in the legal world around 'natural persons' etc; legal usages of words don't carry their common meaning and there are lots of examples of this you know.

But since you are literally discussing what things are legally, your plea to ignore legal usages is...bizarre.

Also -- for folks asking about how we're different from Workflowy or Evernote or existing wiki tools

Key claim we have is that knowledge doesn't really fit into the tree structure of a file system (nearly 100% of knowledge management tools follow that structure)

In Roam, you can organize things hierarchically -- using indentation -- but when you link to another page, the paragraph or bullet point where you made that link appears in the "references" for that page.

Pages -- like a page for a person, or a concept -- end up getting a sort of implicit definition from all the other places where you talk about them.

So, a page for Alice or Bob for example has all the tasks that have been assigned to them, and all notes from meetings that involved them.

A page for a concept like [[Paul Graham recommends Clojure]] pulls in all the paragraphs or bullet points where you used the term -- and the bullet points nested below.

Other commenters have already pointed out some of the ways you're confused about categories, but let me explicitly answer your question of, why doesn't the functor include the mapping on the objects and not just on the morphisms?

The answer is it does. In this context, the types are the objects. So if F is your functor, then F itself -- which does not have a type, but has kind * -> * -- is the mapping on the objects.
I mean, some people like myself view nuclear power as the only currently known feasible way of satisfying all our power needs into the future, not just to produce clean electrical energy, but to also fuel carbon sequestration efforts and clean chemical and material synthesis. So anytime climate change, green technology, or anything related to such topics come up it is only natural for nuclear power to eventually pop up also.

It would be extremely difficult to prove that Zuck knowingly took money to run targeted campaign ads from foreigners, so that's probably not an option.
Hiding state is more the priority of declarative programming. FRP being declarative definitely does that, but I think the update loop is what's at the core of FRP, namely function changes over time and how they compose together to create chains of function changes over time, or something like that.
"Windshield perspective" is telling. Even with a windshield, it's a lot easier to see where you're going if you are adult-height and sit in the front seat.

Moreover, drives can be extremely boring: getting stuck behind large vehicles that obscure any view, sitting through traffic jams and delays, waiting at stop lights, etc.. It's not surprising that passengers may not pay much attention to them.

And it's not just being driven - the heavy traffic seemed to degrade the neighborhood in predictable ways.
Student loans can pay public school tuition, and anyway $100K plus a decade of investment interest is quite generous for public school, or private school with a scholarship (aka not a diploma mill) or ivy league school with financial aid for non-1%ers. And counting both daycare and saving college tuition is double-counting on an annalized basis.
A minivan costs $600/month only if you buy new and trade in for another new car after 5 years. It's under $400 if you keep if for 7-10 years.
Your $2800/month is only $1000-$2000 in the real world.

The bottom 10-20% (larger in 'inner city' schools) of people with behavioral issues will always ruin it for everyone else.

Behavioral issues negatively correlates with intelligence and effort in school (by both the parents and the students). Increased tracking (i.e. separate low achieving and regular achieving) can be used to 'rescue' the majority of students that are average from having their education disrupted from the behavioral issue kids. Effort and behavioral (i.e. evaluate based on behavioral infractions) based hoops for parents and students can be used to separate the low achieving from the disruptive.
> as much as I like reading about Windows quirks on Raymond's blog, he is not exactly in position to complain about a device needing an online account to operate.

Raymond Chen complains about Microsoft products often. He even has a response to people who say that he is the man in a glass house throwing stones: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20060713-12/?p=30...

And while you can say "he works on Windows too, not another Microsoft product", he doesn't work on or review all the business plans, technical designs, or pull requests for all of Windows either. He does serve on an internal Windows API review board, though.

Disclosure: I work at Microsoft on products including Windows. However, I have only interacted with Raymond Chen in a couple of email threads. Regrettably but perhaps understandably, he was curt in both.
They had escape velocity.
If you believe "Programmers are expensive", then you should do as much as you can do with a declarative data manipulation language (usually SQL, you can also consider sequences of text manipulations tools using pipes) and leave that last 15-5% of high-value work to a more powerful but also verbose imperative lenguage (usually Python, but any).

Asking for what you want is considerably faster than saying how you want it done.

I'm not a huge ZFS fan but I think ZFS-on-Linux more or less spells the death of BtrFS. BtrFS has been radically unfinished and unready for over a decade now; meanwhile ZFS is decades old and in-production for much of that time. Does anyone use BtrFS in production? To the best of my knowledge, the answer is no.

(To be clear, I don't think Solaris is the best platform to run ZFS today.)
The problem with the Bitcoin game is there is no longer the 'millionaire overnight' scenario as a possibility. Sure, you could buy 1 coin and it could go up 10x, yet you'd still only be (at this time) $90k richer. Which isn't bad but the big climb from decimal places up to full dollars is where there was more possibility. Common folks can take a gamble on 100 coins for $1 a piece, they really can't take a gamble at $3k+ per coin. Thus, that's why we sit in the $3k to $9k range. Too few people to join, too many people holding on because they bought at a higher price.

I also don't think psychologically people want to own a decimal place of something but that's a different issue. If people could still buy 100 bitcoins, they'd probably do so.

Suppose you have two. One's into javascript and dungeons and dragons. The other's not great academically. No good at football either, and they still behave in a slightly awkward way. But great person, all the same.

> HIPAA has a rule that permits disclosure of PHI for health care operations, treatment, and payment.

I think this is what the GP was referring to. It's not just for care but for payment and operations too. A few operational examples, in the case of pharmacies, they must make sure that a patient doesn't fill the same prescription twice. Health insurance companies receive clinical data from health care providers for the purposes of HEDIS reporting.

Don't forget, the second P in HIPPA is portability.
It's a platform difference. The starting point for a crossover is a car chassis, whereas SUVs are derived from a truck.

> very few employers will pay for you to train/gain experience

Yes and no.

Most HVAC shops will pay for technician's training.

Most dev shops pay for technical conferences.

Most managers have access to management seminars and training.

Expecting an employers to pay tens of thousands of dollars seems weird, but many employers do pay on a smaller scale for skills training.

> degrees are used as proxies instead

Though conventional wisdom is that a degree doesn't matter 5 years after graduation.

Nor does it seem that prestigious positions are even that picky in practice. Yes, there are a number of Harvard, Stanford, Yale alumni in Congress, but other seven of the top 10 colleges for Congress members are public state schools. [1]
