The Art and Craft of Problem Solving by Paul Zeitz [pdf]
I'm sure that by some economic measurement, any mediocre person today could still work hard and earn enough to afford the same standard of living as the middle class of 1950. The main problem is that this isn't actually possible to pull off, since it costs 10x as much for things like housing and medicine that aren't necessarily 10x better. There just isn't the option to buy the crappy version from 70 years ago.

The $40k I had to pay back wasn't a burden to me at all because I went to a state school and took public loans.

I had the option of an income based repayment plan too, so if I wanted to take a low paying jobs my monthly payment would have just dropped.

The only reason it would have been a burden was if I felt like I had to pay it off in 4 years.

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

There's a lot of recent evidence that, all else being equal (controlling for educational attainment, test scores, and grades) parental income/social class has a huge impact on income.

That is, if you come from a lower social class, you can expect a lower income increase from college than someone coming from a higher social class.

There's significant policy implications here-- our long-standing goal of getting lower income kids to take college loans and go to college may not have a positive expected return for them.

All of the authoritative sources I've found say that it was started in the "late" 1980s, not "mid" 1980s.

For instance:

> Plan 9 from Bell Labs is a research system developed at Bell Labs starting in the late 1980s.

https://9p.io/plan9/about.html

The Wikipedia's citation on the sentence saying "mid-1980s" is the press release for the 2nd edition of Plan 9 (1995, the first generally available version), which doesn't mention anything of the sort. That is to say: Wikipedia's "mid-1980s" claim isn't well-attributed.

(The 1st edition of Plan 9 (1992) wasn't generally available, and was only made available to universities.)

(My above 1987 citation states that they worked on it in 1987 and implies, but does not explicitly state, that there was no work before that.)
Not from United States. However, wouldn't it increase the sales of the black market?
It's a very effective form of distributed / peer to peer lock in.

Even if you individually (yourself or your company) would be willing to move to some decent alternative (they do exist), you will still be exchanging files with people who are more locked in than you (e.g. banks/finance), because of custom plug-ins, custom macros, etc.

If I wanted to compete with Excel I would start with a plugin / add-in or complement tool and work my way from there. Some companies are probably doing it. They're not really replacing Excel itself but capturing some of the value away from Microsoft.

Answering my own question: The reason it would continue to use 255 bit ECC is because an objective is (ab)using people's github ssh authentication keys.

FWIW, if the idea there is that you'll be able to send encrypted reports to github users based on their ssh keys... that might not work so well in the long run esp for security conscious projects, since good practice would have their github ssh key living in a keyfob that won't decrypt messages for them. :)

I mean, the quality of the restaurant is control in how their staff functions too. Yes there is always a chance for a mistake but higher end restaurants have (hopefully) better staff that do a better job.

How is Tse Tsan-tai a western, anti-chinese propagandist? He was a collaborator w/ Sun Yat-sen. I realize the two drew influence from western ideals (and christianity), but wonder what makes them anti-chinese.

That the Chinese government praised Sun Yat-sen, and printed a commemorative coin for his 150th birthday, seems at odds with your sentiment.

I think one of the hardest things about small businesses is saying no, finding good clients, and firing bad clients...but if you don't you're going to pay for it with time or etc.

I worked for a company that just before I joined turned down what looked like a jackpot. Millions, possibly tens of millions in revenue.

The reason, it was too much work for their team, and despite the bags of money being offered it wasn't clear the company offering the business were quite on the ball, something was off and they said no.

Another small company said yes. They got a windfall of cash, grew...6 months in and they were a big success story...and in 18 months had lost their past customers because they knew they had been put on the back burner, their own people quit because they were working like you are, and the client was endlessly upset because of unrealistic expectations and a real power imbalance in terms of setting goals and realistic planning was out the window.

In short if you can't take vacation...you need better client(s).
Gates blew it on the internet. It's OK. There's a lot of revisionist history surrounding him on HN these days. Time does that.

I have some close friends who started smoking at 18, and by 21 were pretty hooked, would rather not smoke, but found quitting too difficult. I have a feeling this will do a good job of reducing addiction rates.

At the same time I do feel like adults should be adults full-stop and think it’s ridiculous you can be drafted, vote and serve in military and not drink or smoke (or rent a car!). Maybe the age of adulthood should be moved to 21 altogether.
I feel you may be going a bit far here. Advertising can simply aim to raise awareness of the existence of a product. I do not believe that is an inherently unethical act. We may be pretty far down the advertising arms race, where cars must be sold on how they make you “feel” rather than stats or practical utility.

However, HackerNews itself serves as an advertising platform, but the marketing is generally pretty minimal: “Show HN: I made a thing that lets you encrypt and compress files twice as fast previously thought possible” Is wanting to share that work or idea so bad?
That's an interesting problem. Maybe keep launching side projects until you can recoup what you can live on?
Rent control is inevitable. The cited paper (https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/gsb-cmis/gsb-cmis-download-auth...) synthesized a cost of a 5.1% increase in rental prices for San Francisco, but that's for the period 1995 to 2012. 5.1% for that period is miniscule, dwarfed by demand and non-rental control supply pressures. The political cost of an army of voters worried about housing insecurity is incomparably higher.

The researchers suggest transfer payments instead of rent control, minimizing negative effects on supply. But Americans, and I'd bet most people around the world, dislike transfer payments. Nobody wants to be "on the dole", and in any event signing up for those payments comes with its own form of social cost and insecurity. Rent control is a silent tax that is relatively optimal from a political-economic perspective (not just an economic one).

The same dynamics are at play with free trade. Academics said dislocation costs of free trade could be ameliorated with transfer payments. But those payments never came, and voters would never accept them as a substitute for lost jobs. And for similar reasons--people don't want to feel forced to move, they want to feel like their pursuing better opportunities. But when a factory shuts down or a landlord effectively evicts you, it's not a choice. And even if it only happens to a small fraction of people, many more feel insecure even if they have no rational reason to feel insecure.

The question isn't whether rent control is good or bad, it's whether and to what extent it's possible to extract in exchange zoning and development concessions that promote supply increases. Unfortunately, the outlook doesn't seem so good. The only other alternative is Federal pressure, which doesn't seem too likely, either, unless it comes in the form of a Supreme Court decision that constrains zoning practices.
It’s very stupid. When you are an adult you deserve to be able to make your own decisions. This is a great example of Congress going against the wishes of a huge portion of the voting population and “telling them what’s good for them”. It’s tacit erosion of freedom under the guise of something helpful and makes me ashamed of our Congress.
The ACA allows children to stay on their parent's family insurance all the way through 26, and on their parent's tax return through 24.

So you want to talk about the hypocrisy of "18 for military, but 21 for drink/tobacco" let's also talk about why the age cut off for the ACA/IRS isn't 18 too, it is only self-consistent with that argument.

If you're really a full adult at 18, let's consider what that would look like, even when that means cutting the cord in ways that provide benefits to young adults (e.g. like essentially blackmailing families into paying for their "children's" college via their parent's income being used to calculate assistance and loan qualification).

It is unreasonable to consider this "multiple age of responsibility" topic from one vantage and not the other.

college provides such access to knowledge not available anywhere else (not legally to my knowledge). any progress is most likely to come from academia first due to that concentration of knowledge.

so if we are truly heading towards a collegeless future, i am hoping that anyone who can contribute to research can get access to that knowledge. money is a major concern, but if we can't make progress then we have a bigger issue.
Yeah I did see the sarcasm.
My question was asking to confirm that it indeed will put out a truncated output when given a mid-stream corrupted input (and that it doesn't do something like buffer just to validate).

That behavior should be clearly documented, so that users can be advised that their pipelines need to safely handle that case.

> that thing might need to wait for the end-of-file signal before processing or else potentially operate on a truncated file

Exactly. The docs should say this clearly, or someone will manage to create an interesting vulnerability with it eventually. :)

Could go with a message the points out that encryption doesn't authenticate the source-- which is a not uncommon misuse that shows up with PGP, where people assume that the source is authentic if the input was encrypted, even where no signature is used. (the fact that corrupted input gives an "authentication failed" message might be particularly misleading)

Abrahamic religions are the only ones that have a rigid caste system. I already pointed out that "caste" is a Portuguese word (origin "Casta"), but maybe that does not mean much to you. But look around & besides the Islamic castes like Ashraf, Pathans, Shiekhs, Ahmediyas, Khans, Qureshis, Asranis, Syeds, Ajlafs, etc., you have the thousand & one castes in Christianity — Catholics, Protestants, Presbyterian, Coptic, Episcopalian, Mormons, Lutherans, Methodists, Eastern Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, Oriental Orthodoxy, Assyrians etc etc.

The very definition of Abrahamic religions is to divide mankind into believers & non-believers. Castes is but a natural progression of the same concept & subdivides believers into more believers vs the lesser believers. According to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, there are today 33000+ castes in Christianity alone.
You are right,i am working now on a new pricing.

But pointing out the obvious - that clearly isn't a conclusion you've come to by listening to Republicans. For example, if you look at Republican propaganda [0] they agree that immigration is a valuable source of potential innovation and vitality - the bit about prioritising high skill migrants.

That isn't an 'I've seriously thought about their position and weighed up what they said and then decided I don't like the platform' style opinion. It is a 'I've listened carefully to my people and know their talking points' style opinion. It would be a struggle to label it as moderate in any sense of the word.

True and false.

Yes, such tricks for circumventing (sometimes outright disadvantageous and stupid) foreign trade agreements are a common thing globally.

At the same time, tuning specs to cater for local tax bands, local driving license restrictions, import taxes, or _these tricks_ is also a common thing, dating back before ECUs with physical chokes etc. And nowadays, it is a bit flip in EV's software to restrict the max output, so why not produce a local market version after a law&marketing department brainstorming and two-week R&D testing.... And nowadays, another two weeks later, instead of traditional physical/chiptuning derestriction, there is a downloadable "unathorized jailbreak" to remove that.

Mind you, cars are a 20.000+ USD things. Put on low incentive and nobody cares. Put on high enough incentive and labor-intensive things become lucrative - such as assembling the car completely, disassembling the car again, shipping parts by train, reassembling the cars and bam, local car. If you can disassemble and reassemble it cheaper than 10.000 USD import tax, you have net gain (this was really done in some parts of Europe!). And you can flip bits cheaper than 10 USD and you sell.
