Very. They may very well take into account your grades and SAT score to determine feasibility of repayment.

You act as if the SAT score is a predictive of future success. Do you know how easy it is for parents of means to pay for “sat tutorials” that will help their kids improve their scores significantly? Ask me how I know.

They may and why shouldn't they? This will deter expensive colleges and push students to cheaper alternatives like trade schools, community colleges and state schools. What's wrong with that?

So only the rich should go to the good schools?

People who can't pay back loans? I don't follow your point. Are you saying that loans should be made without consideration of feasibility of repayment?

Student loans are or should be based on the ability to pay back loans based on future earnings. Most loans are based on credit, prior repayment history and income - three things that students don’t have.
Yes, I'm aware of that, but locally it doesn't make much of a difference how big the fire is. Australian plants are built to survive bushfires and assuming there's water -- which is the big if I called out earlier -- they'll regrow.

Put enough way: the bushfires, in and of themselves, are not the problem. The underlying drought caused by climate change is.

You can disable this feature, but of course you have to trust the manufacturer that it’s actually disabled. And if the manufacturer were trustworthy, they wouldn’t be doing things like this to begin with.
I have a bot that scrapes used motorcycle listings for sale in my part of the US [1], and I've never seen anything listed with more than 70k miles.

Furthermore, those 70k mile bikes were all meticulously maintained by older owners, and I could have bought any of them for under $4k and probably ridden coast to coast the next day without issue.

I made an auto-generated list of DevOps Projects from popular German Sites
Hey HackerNews,

I'm a freelance DevOps Architect from Germany and took the holidays to make an auto-generated list of Freelance/Full-Time DevOps positions in Germany that helps me finding and curating interesting projects to work on or to apply to.

You can find it here: https://devops-projects.de/

I was inspired by https://remotive.io which seemed to be exactly what I need - but it lists mostly international projects and full-time positions. I was looking for stuff that can be worked on in germany as a Freelancer.

In germany, 100% remote projects (as well as freelance consulting projects) are a rarity and digging through the endless listings and offers from recruiting agencies consumes a lot of time.

The idea is to have this automated over time and receive a digest of the projects fitting my needs most once a day. Additionally, it helps understanding the DevOps scene and its adoption in our industry a lot better by learning from the projects listed and the velocity of new projects hitting the index over time.

The stack is composed of Node-Red, MongoDB, InfluxDB, Grafana and Docker. The GitHub Repo is linked on the website.

I'd be happy to hear from fellow german DevOps and to discuss improvements with anyone interested.

Maybe someone else finds this useful ;) Looking forward to hear your opinions!

Best
Fabian
That data doesn't reference the point I'm making. What I'm saying is that it's very possible that if the same people that got bachelor degrees instead entered the workplace, they'd have equal or greater lifetime earnings.

To put it another way, earnings are correlated with an individual's talent and drive. Currently, many of those people end up getting degrees. It's a correlation, it's not the degrees that are causing the jump in earnings, it's the individual's skills.

You are expected to pay student loans based on future income not based on whether your parents are affluent enough to pay them.
Yes, civil disobedience means you believe the specific law itself is wrong, but not the law-making process. The justness of the law-making process is why the classic method of practicing civil disobedience involves accepting the punishment. MLK:

> In no sense do I advocate evading or defying the law, as would the rabid segregationist. That would lead to anarchy. One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty. I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.
Exactly - so he is in jail for crimes he has not yet been tried for.

What definition of "capitalism" are you using?

Patagonia certainly seems to exist in a world of private ownership, private investment decisions, and voluntary exchanges in a free market.
Bundling is not only about performance though.

Fetching all resources in a single HTTP request (or all data in a single GraphQL query) avoids a lot of issues and workaround effort caused by non-deterministic completion order of multiple small requests.
Last time I built an ECS it was effectively a bare bones relational database. A system just queries the information that it needs. The code basically looked like this. There was no need for explicit where or select queries because all I really needed to check was the presence of a component. Here is a contrived example. ecs has an inner join function that accepts all components (stored in an array) that you want to join and everything gets passed to a callback that receives all the components.

void autoheal_system() {
ecs.inner_join(ecs.status, ecs.inventory, ..., [](status, inventory, ...){
if(status.health < (0.2 * status.max_health) {
inventory.find("potion").use()
}
})
}

One big advantage with this system based implementation is that you are processing all entities in batches compared to the naive OOP style where executing entity.foo() may run Dog.foo or Cat.foo and thrash the instruction cache and cause branch misprediction because of the virtual function dispatch that is constantly switching between functions. I haven't done parallelism with this pattern yet but as long as you do not cross reference other entities it shouldn't be too difficult to just slap on an OpenMP pragma and have a parallel_inner_join function that runs everything on multiple cores.
Cool, having looked at your design file I can see the benefit of having everything laid out - allows you to easily explore different ideas.

Figma seems like a tool worth learning, will have to dig in some more.
Those European countries are also democracies, though. In many cases, they are more democratic, because they don't have undemocratic features like the Senate.

The reason many people turned on Wikileaks was because he clearly sided with Trump in 2016. He released the info he had on Hillary to damage her campaign, even though it didn't show anything illegal, yet he refused to publish the documents he had on Trump.

People sided with him because they believed he was impartial, and turned away from him when it was clear he wasn't.
I recall a rather amazing paper a while back arguing that markets cannot be perfectly efficient unless P=NP. There are too many brutal NP-hard optimizations involved. I suspect the same would hold for any attempt at central planning. If these things were possible we would live in a utopia.
It has never been a better time to be a rider, you can get some seriously amazing bikes for the money.

Unfortunately it is a very bad time to try to make money in the motorcycle industry right now. Older riders are aging out and interested young people can't afford bikes due to student debt and other debt.

> What I like about these foundries is that they have permissive licenses that are just a one-time purchase. When I make a website I don’t want to worry about the font licensing for years.

I love the work of professional typographers, but tend to stay away from commercial Web fonts, because they like to include very restrictive terms in the font licences.

For example, you're only allowed to back up Klim fonts once, which we all know is no backup at all (https://klim.co.nz/licences/web-fonts/):

> You may make one (1) copy of the Web Fonts for back-up purposes only.

And I hope you don't take a week-long holiday away from your computer:

> At Klim’s request, You agree to provide an audit to confirm the Web Fonts You are consuming match Your Sales Receipt. Klim will give You at least 5 business days’ notice to complete the audit.

The Commercial licence is a bit better, but doesn't let you subset the fonts, which means your fonts might be 5 to 10 times as big as they should be, giving your users a worse experience (https://commercialtype.com/licenses/web):

> 10. You may not modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or alter, the Webfonts, the Font Software or the designs embodied therein.

I recommend using fonts under the SIL Open Font License, where you don't have to worry about this crap.

Anyway, nice work! I've been meaning to learn Svelte, and your site looks really good.

CrossFit, which is a mix of cardio and weight-lifting. It works for me because: it minimizes the time getting to and from; I can turn off my brain and just do what they tell me (no self-motivation required); I prefer boring and predictable to unpleasant (too hot, too cold, too rainy) and variable.

I have tried many forms of exercise, and I find what I'm doing now to be the least miserable.
The book I used in college was "Mathematics for Finance: An Introduction to Financial Engineering" by Marek Capinski and Tomasz Zastawniak.

Nils Melzer, the UN special rapporteur on torture has said that Assange is not held in solitary confinement at HMP Belmarsh. Melzer objected against the limited ability of Assange to prepare his legal case.

It seems that John Shipton (father of Assange) used therm solitary confinement to describe situation where Assange's access to outside is limited to his lawyers and family.

I thing Assage is currently in the the prison’s medical ward.

One thing I notice with electric motorcycle is that riding experience is much better than gasoline version ( way less vibration and better throttle control ). In Taiwan there's a local company call Gogoro selling electric scooter (Scooter/motorcycle is a very common here). Another interesting feature is that it doesn't rely on charging station rather you swap the empty battery for charged ones from any battery exchange stations ( of course you had to pay for it).
I've seen this argumentation quite a lot, even in the local media, but there are quite a lot of factors that have built up to a series of bushfires the size of Belgium (some 3 million hectares): notably has been the refusal to allow back burning (a safety measure), failing to follow the advice of the indigenous in fire management, reduction in spending on the fire brigades itself, the remoteness and inaccessibility of the fires (Oz had a very low population density, meaning no roads), and rugged terrain. To then have 30m flame height, means that fire trucks are ineffective.

As someone who's been in the shadow of fire for nearly 2 straight months, I can clearly attest to the death of animals. Never before have I seen so many roos in my area, hit by cars, as everyone is fleeing the choking smoke and flames.

To chalk it all up to climate change (which is clearly a factor) is both disingenuous and rather disrespectful to the amazing volunteers that are out there fighting these monstrous fires.

Please refrain from deliberately adding a political angle to what is a highly stressful time.

indeed. This turn of events continues to blow my mind.
To me, HN is social media. So I am unsurprised. Recently, I've been thinking that the problem with social media is that it's hard to use. Culturally, it's so new that there isn't a good understanding of craft and people haven't learned good heuristics via osmosis. But I see the way my child and their friends use it, and it's much more refined and sensible than the way people my age do. It will just take time.
There doesn't appear to be any reliable evidence that Assange is being held in solitary confinement. The original source for this seems to be his father, who claimed several months ago that he was being held in solitary for "up to" 23 hours a day.

There have been photos leaked by another person showing Assange looking relaxed interacting with other inmates. The leaker claimed that Assange was popular among the other prisoners.

In fact, Nils Melzer himself has confirmed Assange is not in solitary, but is apparently being "tortured" for other reasons. It is not clear why these reasons don't apply to every other prisoner on remand in Belmarsh.

If you buy a smart TV, disable these features, disable network connectivity, and then plug in another 3rd party box you should be fine right?
Unless you're using something else than a regular text editor/IDE for editing CSS, using UI controls to experiment with how things look would normally be faster for many. I'm a programmer myself, but having UI widgets I can drag or interact with is way faster than writing numbers and attributes, when it comes to coming up with a design.

Although, this assumes you're in the initial design phase of something, not the typical designer->developer handoff where you basically just want to implement a specification someone handed you.
That doesn't say anything about which is cause and which is effect, which is what is relevant for an increase in college education to make a more productive workforce.

You always need a memory hierarchy. Not even DRAM is fast enough for our CPUs so we have L3 caches and those are not fast enough either so we also have L2 and L1 caches and registers and physical wires which temporarily store the state of the processor by taking advantage of propagation delays.
Sure, if you are selling the strategy and not executing on it then its performance is actually irrelevant, all that matters is your ability to convince others of its value.

No, I understand perfectly fine and I’ve been in both situations. I’m just saying, it sucks to be a contractor with overhead and make a decent amount without accounting for the additional expense, but it REALLY sucks to be at the bottom of the income totem pole and make peanuts (in an expensive American city).
Stuff like this is the reason I don’t connect smart TVs to the internet. If I need web content on the TV, I can connect my laptop with HDMI. The TV should be no more than a display and speakers with a tuner.
An example of why I think this is important. Adam Langley’s post that is linked from the spec [1] talks about cases where people want to do things like:

decrypt file | tar xz

Elsewhere in these comments somebody also mentioned the case of

decrypt file | sh

Presumably the whole point of implementing the STREAM online AEAD mode is to support these kinds of cases; only releasing chunks of plaintext after verification.

But these use-cases are only secure in age when using the scrypt decryption option or if you have first verified a signature over the entire age-encrypted archive (killing the streaming use-case). The reason is that the X25519 age variant provides no sender authentication at all, and so an attacker doesn’t need to tamper with the archive: they can just generate their own ephemeral key pair and replace the entire thing with data of their choosing. Age has no way of detecting such an attack.

You absolutely need origin/sender authentication built directly into the tool to handle these cases securely.
