Would you be willing to name names? Outside of government and defense contractors I personally have not run into any blocks from not having a degree, but I am in the SV bubble where up is down so I have a heavy bias.
I hope one day cars will be the next "tower computer" in that you can buy your motors, shell, seats, OS (and self driving AI), all separately and just put them together. It would be very cool to see companies that just specialize in making different bodies, companies making different frames, but all working with a standardized blueprint.

I think the first iteration of THAT would be a huge boon to the economy.
If there’s one company I’d bet on being acquired next year it’s probably Sonos. Even with a 30-50% premium it’s a small buy for any of the big cos who want to increase market share in home device market.
sonos is the worst. They sell speakers without an audio input (last time i checked)... and can only be controlled/used by sonos software... homey dont play that. but i am disillusioned with itunes as well... wah
It's telling of your bias that you lament imposing taxes but ignore imposing ownership. I guess the latter is included in "accepted naturally" for you but there's really nothing natural in ownership if you step outside the prevailing dogma.
I have a fun story to tell about how AGL and I couldnt use GPG to send each other emails about a vulnerability. For things like integrating with salt this is way easier then dealing with the busted web of trust.

Economic growth alone is not relevant, what matters is how much there would have been with another system in comparison. A much harder question.

This implies there is one script. However, ubuntu is full of crap.

the privacy panel, snapd, amazon, lots more.

The fixubuntu.com site has disappeared.

I switched to arch linux.

one amazing difference - launch gnome on arch and it comes up in a second. On ubuntu there is so much bloat.

You can embed an R interpreter in any language with a C interface. That said, most of the complaints I see about R reflect preferences and prior programming experience with newer programming languages. While there are things I don't like about R, it's a Scheme without s-expressions, and overall I like it.
I bought two speakers they stopped supporting new features a few months later with no plans to support them. I would highly recommend against them. On their own the devices work “most of the time” but i have more trouble with them than I ever expected to have. I’ll never buy another Sonos product.
It should handle large PR's quite well. It probably doesn't right now but that's more a function of the code being hacky.

I think the problem with the GitHub UI is you have so much scrolling that it's a large amount for the browser to try and paint out and for a user to parse through. Since this is only showing a diff on a file at a time it's not subject to that issue.
Trades. What a pile of crap. Trades went to hell in 90’s with global trade. I have 6 trades now anyone with half a brain can babysitting operators and facilities. Service is same pile of steaming horse crap. Skill level went from about a 7 to a 3 all across the board. School is a cash grab ,training is high school at best. Manufacturing or servicing or doing what. Only tech that matters China is doing. Quantum computers graphene tech or AI what. Capitalism is on its way out. Making junk for pennies and selling it for hundreds. People are waking up. Cars are made for 3000 sold for 25000. Phones 125 sold 1450. Most of the trash made is just that garbage. Cant upgrade it cant do anything with it but toss it which created the mess we are in now. Innovation change and time to take it all back. That is the future to clean the earth not destroyed to unite in a goal to advance for all life not just to make a few hundred thousands mega rich. Education is needed. Control over everyone by keeping ppl uneducated and busy working so they cant ever have time to fight back against all the crap in the world , thats over.
Day of greed and evil and ignorance is gone. You have 6 trades 2 diplomas and working on degree. Probably not. I haven’t stopped a day of school. Trades your a slave just as always. People who have no idea boss you around. Main goal is huge profits at any cost. Look at airbag company who sold garbage then everyone hid all the info. That is the world u want. Ppl will sell you crap that kills you never get punished. Must be a babyboomer. The generation of sociopaths is done. Make 3d printers good enough everyone can print anything at home. Open source everything. Pcp the whole industry metal plastic alloy

This world isnt ours to destroy but protect and feudalism 2.0 is finished. No more slaves and child labor no more scams and frauds for billions. Equality for all not just one. Era of ignorance greed is done. Slavery is done. Education should never stop and it should be fun and ppl should have free time. 40 hr work week was 1920.

This is the new world. Education that has no limits is key. Devaluation currency backing it by lies injecting printed money from nothing. This is what u support. Nit even about skill or knowledge is about kissing ass. Falsifying reposts, lies, scams, bullcrap, pretending your busy, hide and seek and throwing ppl under the bus. What a joke. Tell it how it is. Worked for 60 companies all top employers. Mines total scam many are welfare system. Hell the entire thing is a scam. Give you money so you give it back. You buy what u made then taxes and fees and middle men and shipping. I pay u a dollar you give me back 2 take a debt in the end u think u win but lose everything your families ever had for generations. Rightwingers and babyboomers what a combo.
1. Some on the left believe that Trump deserves prison, not just removal from office, and are quite public about saying so.

2. Some on the left fear that Trump will not leave office when the rules say that he must, and are at least somewhat public about saying so.

You don't have to believe either of these things to see the problem. The more they shout about #1, the more likely they are to create the conditions for #2 to happen.

I am not claiming that #2 would actually happen, even given the right conditions. I am merely pointing out that, given their stated beliefs, they should stop publicly calling for Trump to go to prison.

A real cynic might suspect that such people don't actually believe what they say, and are just looking for anything possible to yell at Trump about. A cynic of a different flavor might suspect that they aren't bright enough to see the problem. A charitable person might suspect that different groups of people on the left are shouting #1, and darkly muttering about #2.
I'm curious what you would recommend instead. Everyone is listing speakers they bought decades ago but what are the latest non-sonos speakers that people like?
Well, not necessarily. Basically you create a new dependency and a piece of infrastructure _you_ need to maintain and that often still relies on yarn/npm upstream registries.

So if that part of the infrastructure is down, you cannot work. A repo might be more error resilient, because if you check it out, you check it out.
The expression "buying time" just took on a whole new meaning for me.

Me too. I’m dropping stuff off at a recycling centre because I have no use for it anymore. If they can find a use for it, that makes me happy. It’s the same reason I’d rather donate stuff to charity or drop it off at a thrift store for them to sell than throw it in the trash.

Welcome to speculation.
what are you stuck on?
The "legit" use cases people found for it were unlikely to be the reason the protocol was designed that way. Remember 802.11 came out in 1997. In 2004 WPA2 was released and allowed for protected management frames but no devices/users cared enough at the time. Now in 2019 users are more security aware and encryption is cheap so WPA3 requires it.
I remember (and will try to find) this one instance a few years back where one of the large banks issued a price upgrade shortly before earnings. This brought up the consensus prior to the earnings announcement causing the company to miss/underperform consensus which CNBC and other public news outlets weren't afraid use as the headline grabber...

The company management was pretty pissed, but it also shows how simple the public can be in interpreting the earnings miss/beat.

> Interestingly, this is strong evidence that Califorinia Democrats have no desire to implement universal health care

Universal healthcare can't work on a state level because of the free rider problem: people from red states could go to California for free healthcare anytime, while never paying taxes into the system. Californians would end up paying for healthcare for the entire US, which is unsustainable.

It works in Canada because Canada doesn't let sick Americans immigrate. But as a US state, California has no power to keep out sick red staters.

I strongly suspect they don't audit the sources.
They run a routing/cross-auth system so you can stream from other IP-based audio services directly to your speakers. They aren’t entirely a hardware company and those integrations are a value-add for a lot of consumers. I think you should be able to run them in some kind of offline mode, though.

One can claim anything about the goal of a democracy. Politicians are particularly good at "selling" it to the public with all sorts of marketing strategies.

In practice I think it's hard to fight that the ultimate goal of any form of government is to make the government itself persist.

Their familial controls don't make much sense to me.

An actuary's kid will have an easier time becoming an actuary. Same for lawyers and doctors. That doesn't mean that college is a non causal factor in those students lifetime earnings... Quite the opposite. You're not becoming any of those things without college.

The student went to college precisely because they understand viscerally and precisely how college sets them up for a life of higher than average earnings. And what they need to do at college to tap into that potential.

Similarly, I'm not sure I believe the claim that there's no obvious causal link between education and financial acumen.

The big difference seems to be "do you know WHY you are at college?" And in cases where the answer is yes, it's still a good choice.

I mean it obviously depends on what happens a decade from now. I’m imagining some mix of taking some amount in loans with us covering living expenses.

But my older kid is so self motivated it may not matter.
I feel like 30cm max depth is going to be a problem for most audio gear. So-called compact ones seem to optimize for height, with depth around 40cm [1], and the shallower ones [2, 3] seem to be around 31-33cm. Get a deeper console?

Fun fact: Poland Spring bottles can be returned for a 5-cent deposit, unless they have a thin red line on the label, in which case they are worthless to deposit collectors, and just end up in the trash. (The red line is an indicator that the bottle came from a 24-pack.)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this (in fact quite a bit is right with it) as long as they have ensured that any of the original owner's data has been wiped.

> And more importantly, FPTP doesn't allow for middle ground. If you are in the middle, you can't get elected, because neither party would nominate you.

Median voter theorem claims a mathematical proof of the opposite, that FPTP has both camps having a dominant strategy of appeal to the median voter. Both your assertion and median voter theorem fail in practice; the latter because it ignores issues of salience, distribution of views (unimodal vs. multimodal), turnout and mobilization effects, etc., and yours because, well, it ignores much of the same things, but assumes different generalities about them consistently hold.

> If we had a electoral system that tended to elect the first choice of the median voter, things would be dramatically different.

Actually, the vast majority of US voters, even those that self-identity as independents, are highly partisan — the median voter is probably a reasonably strong partisan of whatever party has the current turnout advantage, which is essentially what FPTP elects.
No idea what are mine, they were a gift from a client as bonus for a project well done. And I got them in 2014. Just felt natural using them and the software as well and I just do my job with them on daily basis. No problems at all, not even a slight hiccup. Though my Mac programming is done in virtual machines, so Windows is still the software for keyboard in that scenario.

Do you have a source for that? Bell Labs Unix had version 9 in 1986 and version 10 in 1989. I suppose it's possible that these happened after Plan 9 was named; but as best as I can tell, work on Plan 9 started in 1987[1]; after V9 Unix had been released.

> California has no power to keep out sick red staters

How does Massachusetts manage it then? They don't have the power to keep out those "sick red staters", and yet the entire state has healthcare (by law).

Sounds like special-pleading to me. If a wealthy Blue state like Massachusetts can do it, then California can do it. I expect more from my representatives, not "sick Republicans in other states are stopping us!"

I don't think most people realize how incredibly pervasive theft from construction sites is. Residential / commercial - it doesn't matter. There are organized groups who spend a ton of time and energy breaking into tool lockers or into actual buildings under construction. Work equipment is very expensive, often portable, and has great resale value.
One idea on how to verify equivalence between a design and a physical chip:

If we have the design, could we generate instruction sequences (or, in general, input sequences) and deterministically predict the time required and power consumed to execute those instruction sequences? Then we could fuzz the chip with a bunch of generated code and measure that the consumed time and power matches what we expect. Any backdoor would throw off the measurements.

Can anyone who knows hardware better comment on whether there are other kinds of attacks that this wouldn't cover?

This idea is inspired by a paper I read once which used a somewhat similar approach for verifying that a hardware system hadn't been infected by persistent firmware malware. The authors had the system compute a function which had a known memory-optimal implementation which required the use of all the persistent memory available in the system (including firmware, etc.). Unfortunately I can't find the paper now.

Schools are a place for education but also a signalling tool for recruiting.

I imagine it's difficult to get recruited back in your home country with a degree from a foreign institution unless it's a pretty named school. The simple and harsh reality being that they may have no idea or the bandwidth to figure out how to interpret the grades you received or the education you had. (Of course, CS or hard sciences are likely an exception to this with portfolios or research results being pretty universal...)

And then there's the issue of visa issues should you attempt to work abroad post graduation in that country.

> Sure there are some cases in which we can draw a fine line between black and white zones (like rape).

This is the quintessence of gray area. Sure, we have violent rape versus mutually consensual, mutually enjoyable sex as black and white examples of rape and not-rape. What about mutually consensual sex where there's some kind of power imbalance? She reluctantly says yes, and doesn't seem to be enjoying it? She initially says yes, then she says stop a few minutes into it and he doesn't stop until the fourth time she says it? The gray area here is virtually endless.

Its "literally possible" to do this with Unsafe, and has been for a long time. You get a block of memory, the base address, then you put things in it.

I can't find the citation now but the biggest argument against college I've seen is that once you control for family income, life success is way more correlated to SAT scores/the college's you apply for than the ones you actually attend. This would imply that college success stats merely indicate that they are selective in who they choose to enroll.

EDIT: Its not the one I'm looking for, but I found a good one. http://conference.iza.org/conference_files/CoNoCoSk2011/gens... shows that if you control for IQ, the average person makes $100k more over the course of their whole working life by getting a bachelor's.

- This doesn't even account for the four years of work you lose by going to college instead of working.

- Its based on data from people who mostly graduated before the year 2000, and by all accounts the value of college is becoming less, not more. It's also based on a calculation when college was much cheaper.
