It is not in fact as easy as you think, or as it used to be, to get a high-paying job out of law school, such that you can pay off your student loans ($200-300K is not unusual) in only a few years and have a 'massive income'.

I know people out of law school who DO want to be lawyers, have lawyer jobs, and are struggling to keep up with their student loans. (No, they are not terrible incompetent lawyers).

If you are a Harvard grad working at a top tier firm, that may not apply.

But lots of people are making only $60-$70K out of law school. With huge debt. If you want to work for government or non-profit, you'll make even less. It's going to take more than 'a few years' to pay off $300K of debt like that.
To be honest, for most of my scripting needs I usually start with Python directly and just go mass os.system() or commands.get_output() calls. Later on I refactor into subprocess.Popen as needed

I agree. And to be clear I think I think it would be an immediate catastrophe as parents would not be able to work as they would have to take care of their children. Teaching is obviously vastly more important than childcare but teachers on their undervalued salaries provide both of these salaries.
I dove headfirst into rebuilding an engine recently with basically zero practical experience. The amount of possible detail in the project is mind boggling. What's even more amazing though is that I'm able to just keep on chugging through the problems as they come up. I occasionally have bouts of vertigo as I stare into some abyss of minutiae, but then I just shrug my shoulders, wrench on some more bolts and keep going.
I don't recall ever giving my real name/address for any billing address/name, because most if not all the time, they don't really care (or at least I never seen a difference).

And the parent comment isn't the same thing? If you want to prohibit comments advocating for various lenses through which people ought to see the world, you need to apply this prohibition equality or that prohibition amounts to promotion of one particular worldview. And if you want to do that, you have a responsibly to readers to be straightforward about it.

The first two points don't seem to have anything to do with _why_ bankruptcy shouldn't be used for student loans. The government makes plenty of loans and to my knowledge all of those other classes of gov backed loans are dischargeable. And in any case many student loans are in fact not government but private, see, e.g. SoFi type outfits. Though I don't know the percentage of gov:private student loans offhand.

Your third point seems to suggest you may not be fully aware of the parameters of income based repayment and its many gotchas. People who rely on it, through no fault of their own, regularly find themselves paying 10x their monthly payment through paperwork malfunctions. Additionally many of the benefits of taking jobs that qualify for perks, like loan forgiveness, under income based repayment systems are out the window under the DeVos regime.

Based on this, I really don't see how your conclusions follow from your premises. If anything, your argument works against you. People who are allowed to take out hundreds of thousands of no collateral loans at ages like 18 should be able to move past them through bankruptcy. It's downright predatory.

>But a doctor, an engineer, etc, would've already contributed to the common good even if they buy a tenth car that sits in their garage.

Not so sure. For one, doctors can't usually afford a "tenth car".

But assuming they could, or going for the medical industry at large, they are probably a net monetary loss to society, adding the costs of BS needless operations, being wined and dined by the big pharma to push BS drugs, the opioid overperscription-crisis, and of course, overcharging 3x-10x for the same treatment compared to Western Europe. Net monetary loss in the sense that you could get the same services for much much less, and not of course in the sense that you don't get better health compared to not having doctors.

Same for engineers. People making great contributions -- the transistor, new building techniques, cars, etc, sure. People making BS time-sucking social apps (who seem to get the most money) are also a net loss, if not for anything else, for the huge loss of productivity (e.g. employees slacking on social media) and personal development (people wasting hours on end on social media on dopamine feedback loops).

>In a free society, someone can spend their money on an extra toy if they want. Nothing wrong with that.

Beyond some degree there's "something" wrong with that.
I've come to find comments like these ones very frustrating as an amateur economist. In the end, this idealization of how productivity should be used ends up being a proposal of political power: productivity should be what I think it should be, so we must collectively act as if it is.
True, but at that point, it is probably too late until the surveillance biz/govt system collapses and a new one can be built

My mother’s credit worthiness was terrible and I was denied on most loans and the ones she did qualify for were capped and not enough to pay for each semester.

I always had to go to my finaid department and beg for the gaps to be filled through various grants that were still available.

One year there were no left over grants and I simply had to drop out mid semester, which I still had to pay for.
How about bulking better train and commute options? This will give people to live far away from their work place, yet keep roads free and will reduce pressure on properties.

Another issue clogging the roads is they are now open to all EVs, car pooling should be 3 or more people.

This ruling is not wiping out all student loan debt, it's wiping out one person's debt based on extremely stringent rules. He has lived most of his life under crushing debt, worked his ass off trying to pay it back, and instead the debt only grew. It is obviously not a sustainable debt, and given that, bankruptcy is the only way out.

But the only way all student loan debts are going to be wiped out based on this ruling, is if they are all proven to be unsustainable, in which case indeed they should be wiped out.
Why is it all or nothing?

A government can certainly form policies and implement changes that attempt to distribute wealth more equitably. Its kinda 101 stuff.

That isn't new, is done all the time to varying degrees, and is many, many times removed from "communist utopia".

> Citizens who are abstracted from adversity will become disinterested in politics and apathetic towards the inevitable tyrannical government that will ensue.

Sure. That's pretty much what's going to happen. But mind you, I am not seeing things being much better now compared to that future. Democracy to me seems to work only on paper, while politicians, lobbyists, corporations et. al. do whatever the hell they want. But I am not willing to derail on this point, just sharing an opinion.

> ...a society in which everything is produced by machines and the average citizen receives everything he needs to survive from the government sounds like a dystopia to me.

As with everything else, it's a balance. I'd like to not think about utilities and rent and basic food needs, yes; on the other hand, I am okay with the idea that if I want that 75" QLED TV, or a car, or the best chair recliner on the market etc., then I'll have to work a bit for those.

One way to push people into working even with UBI in place is likely to make the places where food is distributed for free inconvenient or not very ergonomic; many people would like to avoid certain inconveniences or even forced social interaction so they're likely to work just to avoid changing their habits. And publicly funded places gaining bad entropy is pretty much a given anyways; nobody has to do anything, it just happens eventually, by itself.

> I don't trust the state to administer this prospective neo-Oceania.

Me neither, but not sure if for the same reasons as you. Governments are, in the end, hugely ineffective. That's basically their defining characteristic. The moment they have to do something mildly responsible they are very happy to outsource to the private sector, and things turn to shit in months. Government is only really concerned with gathering taxes. :(

Overall, I believe systems like we are discussing can be made to work. But I am not sure I trust people to do it. And of course, there's going to be a world war before anybody remotely influential will allow a machine to call the shots in their place.

"The Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) is a general term for the infrastructure that provides high throughput and low latency path to the flash storage connected to the IBM POWER 8+ System. CAPI accelerator card is attached coherently as a peer to the Power8+ processor. This removes the overhead and complexity of the IO subsystem and allows the accelerator to operate as part of an application. In this paper, we present the results of experiments on IBM FlashSystem900 (FS900) with CAPI accelerator card using the "CAPI-Flash IBM Data Engine for NoSQL Software" Library. This library provides the application, a direct access to the underlying flash storage through user space APIs, to manage and access the data in flash. This offloads kernel IO driver functionality to dedicated CAPI FPGA accelerator hardware. The results indicate that FS900 & CAPI, together with the metadata cache in RAM, delivers the highest IO/s and OP/s for read operations. This was higher than just using RAM, along with utilizing lesser CPU resources."

> why would any of those people care if you have declared bankruptcy?

Landlords aren't in the business of providing housing for free, and seek restitution for damages and unpaid rent through the courts. A low credit score or bankruptcy shows that a potential tenant could incur significant damages and unpaid rent, and leave the landlord high-and-dry when the bill comes due.

In today's owner's market, there are plenty of other potential tenants without a poor credit history or bankruptcies.
All of what you said is correct. That being said, the natural process of trying hard to eliminate BS or die is taking way too long. People just like being cozy -- the BS job employees, the managers, the bosses who like the quarterly graphs, everyone.

It's a process that is going at a glacial pace pretty much everywhere, sadly.
In my experience, that time was a particular low point for pkgng. It still breaks, of course. I've just been told that FreeBSD 12 has some bizarre manifest parsing bug that completely contradicts the doco. But it did get markedly better for a while in 10 and 11.
Copyright is a tort, the usual measure of proof is "balance of probabilities", you don't have to prove it, the plaintiff has to show that on balance the most likely truth is that the defendant copied.

Keeping workshop notes, early revisions; getting works notarised; defensive publication; et cetera -- these are all means people use to guard against false allegations of tortuous infringement.
> Demonstrably: Yes, or they wouldn't be asking for it.

Obviously, people never ask for things they don't actually care about.

IMO this is intended as something that is both unreasonable to include AND hard to object to on any grounds but reasonableness and practicality. "Don't you care about indigenous peoples, or are you some kind of racist?" And so it provides the ability to continue objecting to someone's behavior even if they make all the other requested changes.

That is such a shortsighted evolutionary view of sex for many reasons but two immediately come to mind:

1. Sex in humans clearly has a social role between the mating. Because they raise the child together for the first few years of the child's life, having a positive, loving relationship with each other is important. It is part of the reason that oxytocin is released during sex -- to facilitate social bonding.

2. There is emerging evidence that there is an increased chance of impregnation if the woman has an orgasm. Thus, having the guy last long enough to get her there actually increases the chance of offspring and thus survival of your genome.

My broader point (and frustration with your point) is people way too often reduce evolutionary advantage to a hyper-simplistic single dimensional thing. While, yes, it all comes down to propagating your genome, when you add in social creatures living in groups, the incentives / game theory becomes so much more complicated.
Or they could just become more selective and only loan to people with good prospects of repaying. Maybe they’ll look at your major, maybe discourage private universities.

Sort of, though without the need for a boat or people on it.

My suggestion would be two different lines each collecting from over half the river. One upstream and one down so boats can still easily navigate the channel and 24/7 365 operations are cheap. Further, you need a system designed to operate in floods when the majority of plastics are washed out to sea.

The reason is so that these loans are low risk (no risk?) to those providing the loans. This was done in an effort to provide everyone that wanted an education but couldn't afford it could get a loan. Obviously the mechanism used to reach the goal here backfired and people have just doubled down on the bad decision.

I met one engineer with a similar attitude. He would often make fun of me for not knowing things. However, he completely lost it when I pointed out he didn’t understand some basic concept in the same way he would have done to me. I’m hesitant to believe interpretations like yours based on my experiences with these people. I kind of view a lot of what I’ve seen engineers engage in (it might differ from your experiences) as a pointless intellectual pissing contest (on subjects the participants often lack depth of understanding on) with some level of group ego massaging.

2. The memory footprint, as 1m vectors are not that many. We will have to deal with billion s of vectors for chemical molecules, images and word vectors. The memory consumption will definitely impact how many servers you need.
> Most college graduates rent for the first few years

Many landlords are loath to rent to recent graduates, those with poor credit and a history of bankruptcy. It's an owner's market, and someone who checks all three risky boxes will be skipped over for another tenant who comes with less risk.
Why do you think caregivers, teachers, and social workers are undervalued? Last time I checked, care facilities, classrooms, and social centers were fully staffed. On what basis can you claim that their pay is too low? Who gets to decide the right salary? You? Why?

A particular job being important in aggregate does not entitle each individual who does that job to a salary higher than people who do some other job that might be less important in aggregate.

Oxygen is very important and it's free. Certain comic books are expensive despite being of very little importance to our survival. The value of a thing is the price of one additional unit of that thing, not some statement about the moral significance of all of that thing in aggregate.
