Depends on the year. I mean, they take like over 5x the students now than they did when I was there. For the time I was going, they weren't accepting transfer students like myself with anything shy of a 3.9. I think that was the lowest I saw for accepted on the stats website.

I had a 4.0 before I moved up to Seattle. I thought it was going to be a done deal but then I got some bad professors and it screwed me over. Quite unfortunate.

I don't think people need to get into top private schools. It's just a matter of how hard you want to work after college because you won't have had the same footing as those other folks.
In my city at least, all motorized vehicles are prohibited from riding on the sidewalk and they do write tickets for it (and confiscate the scooter). It seems way less fun when you're sucking exhaust in traffic.

Privacy ≠ FOSS.

DRM is an entirely different problem to that of privacy. While DRM is disgusting, a threat to open source as we know it and overall harmful to humanity as a whole, it does not inherently violate privacy.

Thus, saying "Even [the privacy maniacs] let proprietary and intrusive DRM plugin inside" doesn't make any sense.
At some point, it seems the cost of a degree pales to any loss in income--unless you plan to work fulltime while attending school.

When I was 19, quitting my pizza delivery job to attend school may have made financial sense. But who would leave at 24, or 29 to do the same?

CPI includes both housing and education. If there's any argument to make it is around how they are calculated and the degree to which they are weighted in various inflation calculations.
That's not factoring in time to get the degree and any risk. What if you get hurt and can't work for a year early in your career? The interest on the loan is going to add a ton of time to the lifetime of the loan while you're not working
> As for your hypothesis that websites will start blocking browsers that ban tracking and so forth, frankly, that remains to be seen, and my bet is we'd never actually see that happen in practice.

The result of the GDPR regulAtions resulted in a moderate number of us websites refusing access to EU residents rather than attempt to comply. I think it's an entirely reasonably assumption that said sites would block a browser which attempted a similar idea
Why not? Privacy is not the only goal even for paranoids.
It is all about compromise.

I find their "removing 3rd party cookies will incentivise businesses to rely on fingerprinting" discourse dangerous.

It implies that other browser vendors (Mozilla, Safari/WebKit, new Edge) are in fact making the Web a more dangerous place.

I believe it's dangerous because it creates a harmful, unproductive PR narrative—people might just assume this is a true statement, without learning about both sides of the problem. I'm not trying to strip anyone of agency, I just don't think most of my friends would have time to research this topic and might decide to follow the main opinion instead.

The answer I'd like to hear: Yes, it does push some actors towards fingerprinting, but preventing fingerprinting should be dealt with regardless. Changes should happen both on legislative and browser-vendor level.

> But it is clear for me how all this anti-thirdparty cookies situation will go further: server side third party ad trackers -- this will bypass Same Origin Policy and will pose a privacy and security threat for users and websites even more than todays third party frontend ad trackers.

Server-side as well as white-labelled (subdomain) integrations already exist. Lotame (DMP) has at least one product of this kind, afaik.
How Ray Uses gRPC (and Arrow) to Outperform gRPC
You think it's bad now? Wait until you see what happens in 2026.

As many of you remember, the bottom dropped out of the US economy in 2008. As a result, many people delayed having children for a few years (or just decided not to). That means that the freshman class of 2026 is going to be significantly smaller than that of 2025, and that's going to shut down a large number of small and financially strapped colleges.

It's difficult to imagine exactly what's going to happen afterwards, but we can be confident that things will be different.

I force myself.

I make it a point to, at least once per month, do something that appeals to me but seems too daunting, intimidating, or uncomfortable to do. There's no magic here. It's just an application of will.

For me, an important part of this is that I give myself permission in advance to fail or bail without shame. Working outside of your comfort zone means that you're taking a risk. Take the emotional cost of "failure" out of the equation by recognizing that the value is in the doing, not in the end results.
You 100% want something with dual motors.

Look at the full lineup offered by Dualtron, if you'd like top of the line.

I chose the Dualtron Spider, as it was made to be only 44lb while able to go 38mph, do wheelies, has full suspension for the skate park and so on.

If you are willing to deal with more weight, there are other Dualtron options that are probably built a bit better (44lb was a hard limit for legality in Singapore), but the spider is still an amazing machine.

Browsing the electric scooters subreddit is also useful. They link out to this sheet:

https://electric-scooter.guide/comparisons/compare-electric-...

Edit: you are actually too heavy for a Dualtron spider, which is specced for 220lb.
Textbooks now just equate to software for homework that happens to include a basically worthless 'ebook'.

When I was getting my bachelors I had a history professor REQUIRE 6 textbooks 5 of which he was author or co-author. I read a lot as it is but reading 5/6 books for 1 class in 1 semester is crazy.
Just reports. The ones directly reporting to you are called 'direct reports'. Latter also implies a bigger headcount and that the direct reports are managers themselves. So if you have a small, flat team you call your direct reports just reports.
Faster Lists in Python
I am completely aware of why the user agent lies now. Didn't I explain exactly how it is broken in my post? I was basically there for when it broke; I remember when IE came out claiming to be "Mozilla" because otherwise a surprising number of sites wouldn't serve them the latest whizbang Netscape 3 HTML. (I thought it was a bad idea then, but with much less understanding of why.) This is why I kept calling what I'm asking for a new field; the User Agent itself can't be rehabilitated.

The parent of my post is correct; in practice we're still going to need the occasional ability to shim in browser-specific fixes, because even if the browsers do their best, they're going to inadvertently lie in the future and claim to support WebVR1.0 in Firefox 92, but, whoops, actually it crashes the entire browser if you try to do anything serious in it. Or, whoops, Firefox 92 does do a pretty decent job of WebVR1.0 but I need some attribute they overlooked. Or any number of similar little fixups. We know from experience from the field in the real world that we're talking about crashing bugs here at times; this is real thing that has happened. Whatever proposal gets implemented should deal with this case too.

If we standardized on the format like I suggested at the end of my post, it would go a long ways towards preventing future browsers from mucking up the field. If you just get "$BROWSER $VERSION $OS" in a rigid specification, and if the major browsers are sure to conform to that, and the major frameworks enforce it, it'll be enough to prevent it from becoming a problem in the future. It won't stop Joe Bob's Bait Shack & Cloud Services from giving their client a custom browser and/or server that abuses it, but there's no stopping them from doing things like that no matter what you do, so shrug.
This is a silly, silly attempt to knock down a point that should be self-evident. Success in life isn't a formal proof.

Exercising every day, keeping your weight down, eating a Mediterranean diet, not smoking, having healthy relationships, and sleeping eight hours a night do not guarantee that you'll live to reach retirement age.

However, they drastically increase your odds.
I couldn't find any information on the unloaded weight of this thing - do you know what it is?

I've looked at lots of options for carry-on luggage, and most are heavy enough to significantly eat into the 7kg or 8kg allowed. Honestly, I can't imagine moving away from the simple backpack I used; it's light, and I can carry 8kg easily for any distance (covering laptop, Mac Air, and misc other items). By carrying everything, I can go anywhere I can walk, and don't have to worry about pushing / pulling some box on wheels around.

These kind of mega-expensive luggage 'solutions' mostly seem to be for people who like showing they can afford such things.

As I said in my edit: I'm actually fine with that (though I stand by my skepticism that it'd actually happen), as it's a clear and unambiguous signal that tells me which sites respect my privacy and which ones don't.

Not really.

Obviously yes. Either that or our brains are filled with magic unicorn dust.
Yes, but that's true of a lot of things in life.

I mean you can find a professional niche that is already somewhat well known and study your way up to the top 80-90% from 0. My point is that it actually isn't that difficult to do if you make it your goal to do so.

My point is that the niche doesn't have to be objectively "hard".
Thanks for proving my point that some men need to learn the skills to be less fragile and entitled. Playing the victim card based on 1950s stereotypes helps nobody and plenty of men are deeply invested in raising their children.
Pick up sticks and get away as fast as possible. Expect to be shot at.

You can run from many kinds of encounters with Police when there's no presumption of guilt.

They're not allowed to use force in pursuit unless necessary, and running does not make it necessary on its own.

Fighting back is a good way to end up in jail as well as dead. Running can result in you getting away free at least.
5G Security
To some extent it’s about inconvenience, right?

Having limited time and not being special (as in connected inextricably to everything else but being not unique or important), really changes ethical considerations, many of which are the basis of our society. A lot of our human selfishness is natural and ingrained, survival of the fittest is fairly ugly. So we justify ourselves in various ways.

But once you know it’s hard to unknow, so there’s a lot to feel empty about in the quiet moments when you remember.
Even more tangential, but that's my namesake.

If you're in that position, it's a management failure. It's their fault, not yours.
When people like Michael Taylor run the FDA, that's clearly agency capture. The industry has infiltrated government positions, I don't know how anybody can act like they're innocent in all this.
Those basically get run by a skeleton crew during the off season. My dad lived in a town in Alaska that had skiing and hiking tourism as its primary money maker, and he said that during the off season, it becomes a ghost town with only things like grocery/convenience stores and gast stations being the only places that stay running.
Falling car crash rates don't prove regulation is successful. Consumers shop for safety too. It's difficult to compare the counterfactual, but to make this claim, you need to at least compare the rate of change of crashes in unregulated countries or times to regulated countries or times.
1) There is no DC.

We do our scientific work at millihertz frequencies (one cycle every 1000 seconds or so). The age of the universe is ~13.6 billion years, which corresponds to ~10^-18 Hz. Thinking about the zero-frequency limit is a useful crutch, but all things are always changing. Materials creep, the Earth deforms, temperature changes, aging happens. There is no DC.

2) Small forces for long times yield great change

We study torques as small as 10^-18 N-m acting on ~100 g objects. A willingness to apply a very weak force for a long time can often yield measurable, often large results.
"This money could help this person, but it's also quite risky, given that the majority of chronically homeless people (most people panhandling) have drug addictions or other mental health issues or both. My money would be better spent on services that can help address these issues over the long term."

I think we disagree on what constitutes an asshole. Being aware of the statistical realities of a situation and operating on them is not being an asshole. If you were to say "of course I'm not giving you money, you're probably addicted to heroin" to someone's face after they ask you for change, that would make you an asshole. But that's not what I'm advocating.
Removing the user agent string is something that I've wished for for decades. While we're at it, the browser should not be revealing anything else about it or our machines at all unless we consent to it.
I think you'd need to define what you consider success to be. A lot of people are happy with a stable income and living in a smaller city. Unless you're always trying to live beyond your means or chasing after bigger and better stuff you don't really need to grow your income beyond a certain point. Keeping up with inflation while having enough for savings will do.

I don't disagree that there is a widening wealth gap but I think that is defined by a shrinking middle class, stagnant wages and the funneling of wealth to a smaller and smaller elite.

> I'm a very technical person, and I honestly don't think I'd ever heard of it.

> CAN is obscure enough that I’d never heard of it.

These types of statements are why I said “insist”.

There is really is almost no way to make statements like these without sounding foolish. You’re asking us to posit some compelling reason that anything you don’t know is “obscure”!

As someone doing quite a bit of technical writing I’m sensitive to this topic because it really is a type of bikeshedding, which is a patently destructive criticism (even if usually unintentional). It might not be bikeshedding if one has some stronger evidence. My evidence is that CAN is in the marketing material for any automotive car scanner from $10 to $10000. It’s literally as ubiquitous as Ethernet in the US and Europe. As someone else mentioned this really doesn’t matter, what matters is if the term is obscure to the intended users/audience.

Tech writing is about economy, and there are thoughtful discussions to be had about what needs to be described, and what is assumed from the audience and providing an ideal user experience. Appeals to ones own experience unless you’re a member of a special audience are usually the worst.

Our system allows police to selectively apply traffic rules. This means that the people who find them onerous and can fight back against them tend to be avoided, while more vulnerable people are subject to them more often.

You might remember the protests in Ferguson, MO, after Michael Brown was m̶u̶r̶d̶e̶r̶e̶d̶ killed. A federal investigation later revealed the tense police/public relations under which that incident took place: the jurisdiction was essentially using the traffic laws to extract rent, overwhelmingly from black residents. A traffic citation would require attending court (often without access to a vehicle); if a court date was missed, additional fines and an arrest warrant were issued, which of course the person would only become aware of during the next traffic stop. Police were encouraged to increase stops and citations to make up for lowered taxes. It's regressive fiscal policy you see popular among American conservatives because it shifts the tax burden off of people who are then more likely to vote for them, onto people "deserving" of punishment.

Are There Still Fundraising Seasons? – Matt Turck
I learned to think in terms of incentive structures and risk when communicating. Transmission of an idea that has real implications on a design or project on the roadmap will receive unscientific criticism due to internal office politik.

So word choice is as important as superiority in an idea for solving a problem
Nope, I became a coder because I want to be able to create apps that I have in my head. I hated coding for the first 6 months (I'm on year 8 now). Now I like it, but I'm still not passionate about it.

My passion is about digital creation.

I think I'd like being a manager, depending on the context. Since I like to talk and listen to people their ideas and get energy from talking and listening.

I don't get energy from coding. I do get energy from creating something awesome (either myself or with a team).
I don't think Schopenhauer's concept of the will and subatomic particles are mutually exclusive. He's pretty clear on what "will" means, but you have to study his philosophy to find out.
I'd love a blog about how to AVOID becoming a manager as an engineer or technical person. It really seems "contributors" are at the bottom of the pyramid, especially in companies whose core business is not technical in nature.
The journalists are going to continue to have a field day with this. She shows no signs of growth, and in fact seems to have doubled down on denial. The company turns a profit with a simple business model and a product people like, but the brand halo will only last so long, and this kind of dysfunction can only be catnip to a fast follower. There is only one way to play this, which is for the adult in the room who was hired to clean up this mess to defang her and give her a short leash, seek exit, and fast.

The alternative is that she runs the company into the ground on the backs of her employees and courts PR disaster after PR disaster. It's a dangerous game to play -- in this climate, bad PR is still PR. But she's going to be in the hot seat now, and one slip up that the court of public opinion doesn't like, and she's going to be back to square one.
I'm trying to be open-minded and make sense of the position.

The first big leap is considering experience to be a continuum from humans down to inorganic matter. This is stretching the meaning of 'experience'. If I walk on snow, does it experience deformation, or does it just deform?

The second leap is saying science only tells us what matter does and not "the intrinsic nature of matter: what matter is, in and of itself." I can't see how this gets you anywhere, you can say it's anything and it's self-satisfying.

The Hollywood ending really lost me. Let's just sweep this consciousness problem into a tiny tiny place and call it intrinsic: "So it turns out that there is a huge hole in our scientific story. The proposal of the panpsychist is to put consciousness in that hole. Consciousness, for the panpsychist, is the intrinsic nature of matter."
I think about this often while I work on small data sets and reporting, mostly lead and customer data (think PPC reporting or CAC:LTV reports) and I have a couple theories.

The one that seems most natural is that organizations don't want people to know how much data they have on them. If too much of it was customer-facing and not wrapped up in a cool "2019 Wrap Up" video, then pressure would mount to be even more transparent, and eventually accountable for, the data organizations collect.

I think there are a few others, like the value to the bottom line that it offers. Most companies optimize heavily there so the only real applications are the ones that would like to drive more revenue, such as "Only 2 seats left!" or "Last One In Stock!" messaging based on urgency and fear. One-dimensional stuff.

I also look at it from the resources perspective. I think lots of companies are spending time and resources pretty poorly. Companies I've worked with outside of startups often forget how and why they make money and end up spending lots of resources on things that might not matter. Service professionals, for example, usually rely on a network connection like the local Chamber of Commerce for business. Despite 80%+ of business coming through that channel, they insist of trying social media or PPC ads instead of doubling down or identifying a similar network when they explore growth. This is natural ignorance that they can learn to overcome.

I really hope we get more data-sourced initiatives in the future. I use a few apps that do a little bit of it but leave a lot to be desired: Goodreads, Strava, Nike Run Club, Spotify, Audible, Kindle, & YouTube come to mind.

My dream is to have a Life Dashboard. I had designed it with some of these apps in mind but the API's and the output I'd get weren't enough to pursue when life got busy.
What we need is something to eliminate "Recommended For You" mentions.

Part of me wonders what a clean sheet redesign of a text terminal handling system would look like, would it still use inband signaling, or would you presume network and break it up into multiple sets of communications channels.

That, plus user transaction data is hugely valuable as its own product: tracking users and their spending habits and selling the signal. Cash takes away from that revenue stream.
