Firefox Send is a web page, so if you can access the web you can use it. Also, a firewall that you can access the web from will have ports 80 (http) and 443 (https) open, so configure your tools to use one of those (preferably 443).

It's really just the engineering degrees that pay off.

The sciences degrees are only obviously worth it if you then go on to become a doctor, but that's more schooling and the undergrad degree isn't a strict requirement anyway.

Most of my friends with degrees in math, physics, etc., just ended up being software engineers anyway. So the degree "paid off" for them in the same way a CS degree would, but they would've been better served just going CS.

With each step, the artist (and anyone who represents that artist, like a label) gets paid less and later; with each step, the listener gains more flexibility in paying for and consuming what they want, when they want it."

The three parties are schools, teenagers, and the government. More than 90% of existing student loans, and nearly all new loans, are issued by the government.

The student loan system will cost the government $170 billion in losses over 10 years, because interest doesn’t cover money written off due to hardships and loan forgiveness. The non-dischargability of student loans protects the government from further losses.

Non-dischargability is a reasonable feature given the other aspect of federal student loans: they offer income-based repayment. Under Obama’s REPAYE, your loan payments are capped at 15% of your discretionary income.

I wouldn't bet on the availability of a data plan.

I regularly drive through Alabama on the way to Florida (from Atlanta). One time, I took a wrong turn and ended up in a small town with absolutely no cell signal and closed roads everywhere. We stopped and asked a local for directions. This was SE of Dothan, AL, I think.

And several times, Google Maps has routed me through areas where I no longer have a signal (south-central AL). Once when this happened, the road it wanted me to go on was closed and it couldn't download an update. I handled this one by just driving northish, knowing that I'd hit Montgomery eventually.

Civil disobedience is breaking a law because you believe the law itself is wrong. As invented by Thoreau, and practiced by Gandhi and MLK.

Your setup streamed to two different rooms will have two distinct delays of the source audio. Probably fine for most use cases, but drives me nuts and why consumers head to sonos.

Pulseaudio can stream to multiple speakers and audio devices simultaneously. Switching to JACKd instead of gstreamer for the pulseaudio backend allows for a much more powerful audio processing subsystem (at the expense of resources since jackd likes a real-time kernel). Using mpd allows for a lightweight low latency server/client to stream audio to remote destinations. It’s not quite plug and play (DLNA doesn’t care about synchronization) but dropping mpd onto a raspberry pi is the simple fix (and simulates the hardware inside of a sonos speaker)

I’m sorry I’m on mobile or i would make a diagram showing this in detail. I’ve been thinking of what an open source Sonos clone would look like for a long time. Maybe it’s time to open up that git repo to the public
Are you kidding me? Did you even read what I said? I am not talking about messaging protocols. What are you even talking about??

A file encryption format that is not tool dependent. That's all I said and I get this b.s. response and downvotes. Ffs!

Let me rephrase: you encrypt with age, someone else decrypts the encrypted file with some other tool. And a file encrypted by some other tool gets decrypted by age. That's called interoperability and makes things easier to use and adopt. I even gave you a real life scenario where lack of this has been an issue. I can use GPG just fine right now with just enough people being able to decrypt it, many people encrypt for themselves but many also need to encrypt files at-rest before sending them to someone else (where you need interoperability and standardization). At least address that gap instead of telling me how signal exists and PGP is dated :/

Perhaps it sounded like I was against the hype-train: rest assured that wasn't my intention and I support age.

"I think this is nonsensical" ... "Actually I have a hard time charitably following his reasoning".

Let me help you a bit by over-simplyfing the logic:

- If I state an argument to you, it can either be true, false or indeterminate. No matter what argument you make to me in that regard, you'd end up agreeing with that argument, which means that specific argument is "a priori". Moreover, you can only reach a conclusion about my argument by being you, which means you need to have control over your own thoughts to achieve that conclusion (self-ownership)

- If we define ethics as the minimal set of rules that we agree upon in order to maintain our voluntarily stable pacific relationships over time and space, the only possible way we can achieve those ethics is through an argumentative process (I invite you to think of a refutation of that statement)

- Self-ownership can't be maintained (therefore invalidating the time and space requirement) without some means (food, water, shelter, etc). Those means are scarce, and can only be used by a single person at a time. So if we define property as something that is scarce (therefore delimitable) and is being used (therefore modified and protected), private property is a necessary requirement for sustaining self-ownership.

- In conclusion: A minimal system of ethics require arguments to be produced. Arguments require self-ownership to be produced. Self-ownership require private property to be sustained. Therefore if the aim is to achieve a minimal system of ethics that allow for the stable and pacific co-existence of individuals over time and space, the agreement on private property is required -- and that itself constitutes the minimal ethical.

That said, it doesn't mean that you'll agree with anything I exposed. By not agreeing, however, you are implicitly agreeing (by stating an argument). The moment you generate an argument, by the means of logic, you're agreeing on the minimal ethics of private property (although you may not be acting in alignment with that ethics).

An issue that I see is what to do with groups who are two small to achieve their aims via democracy but large enough that they can cause unrest.

The textbook answer would be that the constitution places limits on democracy in order to protect the rights of the minority. However, looking at current American culture it seems like that hasn't worked since society outside of government is still free to punish minority views and lifestyles.

That’s the clear implication of the words in the article. I’m not convinced it’s accurate, given that over 81% of adult Americans (not households) own a smartphone and if they had data which included they were considering smartphones as excluded, I’d expect them to specify that for clarity.

I find many instances where a journalist reads a finding of “no internet” and interprets it for readers to say “no access to World Wide Web” and in the process making it wrong.

In a Census survey format, people who don’t have wired internet but do have a smartphone are very much liable to answer that they “don’t have internet at home”. I’m 95% sure my quite well educated parents would answer that way in that circumstance. A possible control question on the survey would be “how many smartphones are owned by your household?”

The finding is based on data from 2017 and reported on (in headline form at least) as “news”.

I’m not disputing what the text says. If it’s 100% accurate, that’s appalling, of course.

There are other ways to subsidize education rather than distorting the lending market.

Yes, precisely. It seems like a good idea to keep an eyeball on the absolute, unadjusted numbers, even if controlling for IQ and other factor is a valid way to look at it, since the experience of being someone in the disadvantaged bracket is not a minuscule difference. Flattening the perceived income difference by controlling for IQ hides the absolute magnitude of income differences. Plus there’s always the chance that the model is wrong, and/or not accounting for everything.

unfortunately you wrote too much anecdotal gossip. gulenist islamist circles based in usa - were hinting that night and few months earlier and preparing and praising a military fascist islamist coup. it was a coup attempt by fethullah (imam of the universe) followers fearing a final purge from the military posts they occupied by faking the admission process and cheating in all the exams. Noone in turkey disputes that. The coup was supported by cold war remnants in washington and fake liberal circles in turkey. Period. Gulenists were purged, and politicians will lose power by elections and life will go on as usual. turkish people were so much disgusted by the gulenists that it's a gift that they got purged. now the rest is politics as usual.
You are incorrect about your assessment of US education expenditure. Governments in the US spend a similar percentage of GDP on tertiary education as New Zealand: https://jobmarketmonitor.com/2016/09/23/tertiary-education-c.... Both spend in the 4-5% range of GDP in terms of public money. (We spend a higher percentage of GDP, again just public money, than countries with “free” education like Germany.) Additionally, because US GDP per capita is 65% higher than New Zealand adjusted for cost of living, we spend far more than New Zealand per person in absolute terms.

>you only need to sell them on the college experience instead of the price and value of the degree.

I think this is a good point because the problem with college recruiting is that they simultaneously advertise that they are an experience and a good investment, while shrugging off the responsibilities of being a good investment.

I disagree with the idea that financial institutions should be in the business of determining what a “useful degree” is because a Debian Developer I know has a degree in philosophy. He does development because he happens to like programming and the mission of the project. He doesn’t need a CS degree and I think him having a philosophy degree let’s him bring something unique to the table. Education is abstract enough that you can’t put it into discrete boxes. If you tried Universities would become business schools.

Borrowing money for college isn’t bad if the loans are low. College is expensive because of ballooning administration. Federally subsidized loans arguably gave an incentive for this. The right policy is to give Universities a disincentive to adding overhead.
