I honestly may have been unclear, so I apologize. It's directly related--these are the extra dimensions not accounted for in the criticism of this game theorist's analysis, which supposedly affect the outcome.

So if you can refute my argument, you can easily say that this criticism of this game theorist's analysis is valid, but as I said, my experience does not lie in this field at all, so you probably won't find any difficulty in doing so. It's just pretty obvious to me given my mathematical background that this criticism is meaningless without an understanding of the reasoning behind how the dimensionality was reduced. My point is just that such arguments are easy to make and probably easy to prove as well.

In any case, it leaves room for increasingly complex models to disagree with the results of this one.

> We can't accept any model we're presented with just because it's possible that it's correct.

I agree with this completely, but it doesn't refute this particular reduction of complexity either, which is the point of my post. I may have been too verbose.
Yes, I agree. That’s not what I was replying to, though. I noted in another comment that I consider merging worthwhile even in the absence of three use cases, certainly if what you have now is very similar.
Free of charge universities usually means stricter limits on access. Only some subset of people will essentially have the opportunity to attend.
Seems like a good trade off if you can discharge $100k or more of debt. That is a life changing amount of money for most people.
This ruling can't stand. It would crush the economy.

You can't just wipe out $1.5 trillion in debt without consequence. That is about 7% of our GDP, or 1/3 of our federal budget.

Drastic and desperate measures would be required to stabilize the economy. We would need to get about $10,000 in tax from every family for the bailout and probably to avoid hyperinflation.

As of now, the economic devastation is limited only by the slowness of our soon-to-be-clogged bankruptcy courts and by the feeling some people have that bankruptcy is immoral.

It doesn't really matter; the system works by everyone working for their benefit; and history consistently shows that it works better than alternates such as communism, where some powerful dude decides what's good for everyone (and will shoot you if you don't enthusiastically agree 100%)

So yeah, you make decent living by writing awful code, good for you. If you think you don't deserve it, feel free to overtip your waiter. The alternatives are much much worse.
> By all means continue to mandate that loan terms be familial-wealth blind (and institution-blind),

Student loan terms (private and public) are blind to neither of these factors.

> but allow lenders to differentiate with rates on the basis of area of degree earned.

Lenders outside of the federally guaranteed system are allowed to do this, as well as to consider all of the other factors you suggest loans should “remain” blind to. The only lender inside the federally-guaranteed system is the federal government itself (and it is also not blind to the factors you suggest it should remain blind to, since both are factors already.) Further any argument for major sensitivity is a much stronger argument for much additional weighting by institution, since all the market factors that apply to majors also apply to institutions.
That was the way I was taught to think about print vs digital in the bio box --- print degrades gracefully, slowly, while digital fails catastrophically, abruptly.

Doesn't bankruptcy also have long-lasting effects on your credit and other factors? I'm often asked in applications for all sorts of things if I've ever been bankrupt. I'm not sure what they do if you answer yes but I bet it's not great.

AIs don't need to "eat", therefore they don't need copyright protection, if someone duplicates the work the AI produces it doesn't jeopardise that AIs livelihood as it doesn't have a livelihood. Copyright is a bargain intended to enlarge the public domain and reward creative people for the creative works they make.

Yes, we reward AI makers by giving them copyright protection over their work, we don't - and shouldn't in my personal opinion - reward machines. Why would we, what's the benefit in human terms? There's no moral hazard in turning a machine on and off when we need creative works that the machine is programmed to make or don't need more of such works.

Copyright protections that serve the wealthy owners of AIs whilst they simultaneously undercut creative people producing simulated culture (cheaper than actual culture) would not serve the demos.

You asked "what fraction can claim they have"; and you're saying "most" of your co-workers haven't. Fair enough, it's the same for me actually. But "Most" is just over 50%. A sizable fraction have.

> Second, there's a lot of unused garbage out there.

Yes, that's true (and also a lot of unused gems). But even if we only take code that's seen use by others, my previous argument stands. Of course, "used" can mean 10 people or a Million people.

> Take me... GitHub raking... I'm in the top percentile

Wow, I didn't even know about these rankings! Thanks!

Anyway, I looked at my rankings, but more than that - I looked at the overall number of contributors. There are supposedly [1] about 24 Million software developers in the world today. Now, There are 300K C++, 300K C, 760K Java, 600K Python and 1M Javascript contributors on GitHub, Then it's pretty safe to assume that between 5% and 10% of developers contribute merely on GitHub. Actually, yeah, over 2 M active users in 2017 [2]. And again, there are other venues for FOSS contribution, like I mentioned. So dropping the unused stuff, we're still close to 10% of developers.

> I quickly concluded that universal free software is mostly incompatible with capitalism.

If you put it that way, I agree that that's the case. But - I didn't mean to say programmers should be inspired just by the fact that software can be free; I also mean that they should strive to write their software as though it were about to be released as FOSS.

Brilliant strategy - graduate college, file bankruptcy, get rid of the student loan debt. Most college graduates rent for the first few years and with the utility of VISA debit cards, no need for a credit card. Live in a city, use public transport ad Uber, no need for a car loan. In 7 years, you can buy a house.
Yeah, if I could borrow $250k+ at the start of my career knowing that I'll never have to repay a penny of it, and the only consequence is that I couldn't get a mortgage in the first two years out of university...

I wouldn't act like you're better than politicians when your "expertise" is based on a documentary. My experience is that factory work is not dangerous[1] and companies try to eliminate any danger if it's brought up because any OSHA/medical costs are very expensive. My experience is also that the work is pretty easy. It can be boring but so are most programming jobs. I don't understand how writing CRUD day after day isn't as boring as working in a factory.

As for whether it is something that should be done or not: why should programming be done? How do most apps benefit the average person. I'm willing to argue that FAANG companies have been detrimental to society.

I've also been well-payed at the factories I work at, but $20/hr in rural Iowa goes way further than in LA or wherever. There were quite a few people who had moved from cities to work where I was at.

The idea that automating these jobs is a good thing demonstrates how out of touch you are. A lot of people were worried that long-term our jobs would be automated or moved to Mexico.

[1] This may depend on what is being done and more importantly on the age of the company.
As @GordonS mentions, Azure Container Instances is about as close as you’ll get with Azure, but it’s only close on ease-of-use: rather different from a deployment/scaling characteristics POV.

Yea it gets even more interesting when you consider historical figures. Charlamagne is no more real to me than Walter White is (in fact, I'd argue due to the additional sensation of audio and video he might actually be more real from a perception sense).

Yet I believe Charlamagne was a real human who did real human things centuries ago just as I believe Walter White is a character that was invented.

Yet, without that external context, if someone were to watch Breaking Bad and was told it was a biopic on one of America's most notorious drug dealers, could they plausibly believe that? I watched American Gangster and I know that's based on a true story, because Frank Lucas was in jail and has court records. But again without that context, are the two stories really that different in believability?

I think that the ability to plausibly place a story within your own reality creates stronger emotions than something like star wars or lord of rings than can easily be placed into fantasy.

What's dishonest about it? I'm trying to understand the issues that you mean, and the need to configure before getting to work is what I understood you to mean as broken. I'm not talking about misconfiguration; that's different. You emphasized that if you couldn't get straight to work then it was broken. When I can't get straight to work, it's because I need to configure something. I'm using "configure" to mean any sort of maintenance on the machine itself that doesn't involve "real work".

If that's not it, then I've no clue anymore about what you mean as broken.

>Potential college students are 18-ish years old, hardly old enough to have enough mental composure to make the "no" choice in a country that bombards them with the message that going to an elite college is the ultimate goal.

If they aren't responsible enough to take out that loans then they probably shouldn't have the ability to take out these loans. That would make it simple, right? If you're poor and can't get scholarships then no college for you.

At some point, we need to be able to hold people accountable for their actions. Otherwise we're going to lose a lot of privileges in society.

I'm an engineer.

I'm not as creative as I would like, but, at one time, I was a very good artist, and a pretty good musician.

However, I'm also an outstanding problem-solver, and I like that. I can also design some fairly complex software systems.

I appreciate folks who are creative, and I appreciate folks who aren't. We figure out how to work together.
You're absolutely right. To clarify this is an internal tool, not a paid-for product (though I prefer to think if it as a product).

The problem in question was one of basic usage and training needs. Again in short we have a very subpar UI relative to what I think the potential of great UI is, and this conversation was about bridging the gap while the tool itself is still in development.

So a million pieces of context, but I think the frustration caused by the event is the same thing this blog alludes to - as an engineer I looked at it one way, as ${SOMETHING_ELSE} they saw it a different way, and the result was a lot of negative emotion (frustration, anger, apathy, etc.).

As a PM I see it as my job to find a way past that, and it was a great learning experience even if I would prefer to never go through it again!
I always make a point to sit with the engineers at the lunch table wherever I work. The conversations are wide-ranging and deep. Hardly narrow-minded. If anything, engineers tend to look for flaws, leading arts majors feeling hurt.
That's not a very powerful argument. In fact it's not an argument at all. And it doesn't even answer the question: WHAT IF it's true?

Not is it true, not how morally bad is this, not how do you or "women" feel about it (using quotes because implying women as a group share such a feeling and that you know what it is sounds just bizarre on the face of it.)

> but the use value of your tenth car is much lower than having those same ten cars (and thus the same productivity) spread across ten people.

But the point is that any (however small) value for the person who earned it is justified, while whatever value it might have for other people is irrelevant, since it's not theirs.

In the same way you could argue that buying a car in the first world is immoral because buying it for someone else in the third world would provide them with higher value.

Earned wealth is not public wealth, unless we live in communist utopia where nobody earns or owns anything.
> distros still using SysV exist if it matters to you

As a BSD user, it wouldn't matter to xem at all. The BSDs never used the AT&T System 5 mechanism, nor its van Smoorenburg clone. It's you the Linux user that it matters to, and even then not nearly as much as you are implying it might matter to someone else. It pretty much hasn't mattered greatly to anyone apart from Linux, and before it Minix, users for 30 years.

There is a fallacy in discussions of systemd, which was called out by the Uselessd Guy years ago. It is the fallacy that only systemd and van Smoorenburg init/rc exist. This is not the case. It wasn't the case for Ubuntu and Fedora. It is especially not so when a BSD is the topic. The BSDs have a quite different family heritage in this area.

But then, AT&T Unix itself actually has a different history to what people who bandy about the erroneous "SysV/systemd" dichotomy think. The init/rc that Miquel van Smoorenburg cloned had actually already been superseded years before Linux was even invented. It wasn't used in the BSD side of the universe at all. But it was only a major mechanism in the AT&T side of the universe for just over half a decade, in the 1980s.

The BSD side of the universe could turn around and observe that they were right all along; were it not for the fact that the other side of the universe largely thought better of the mechanism as well, coming up with the SAF in 1988 and the likes of the SRC in 1991. (-: Of course, the BSD world wasn't just standing still all of those years, moreover, and had things like /etc/rc.local.d/ and Mewburn rc.

Is this a case where people of being accused of cheating because they did well when the professor didn't expect it (due to being from a specific background)? Are people of specific demographics being singled out for increased scrutiny.

Additionally, combined with the request for more group work it may be a case where people are working in groups on individual work which isn't in and of itself cheating, but may have been treated as such. At my university it was encouraged for people to work in groups on those type of assignments so that people could help each other and remove some of the burden from professors and ta's
