Depends entirely on where you go. Your $150,000 figure will get you a law degree from an elite top 20 law school, which will earn you a starting median income as a lawyer of $175,000+ in the private sector.

The median lawyer in the US will earn $4 or $5 million over their law career, at a present $120,000 per year.

The median lawyer from an elite school will earn more than twice that over a career.

$150,000 is a reasonble entry fee considering the immense income potential, which is what you're buying access to.

If you just want a law degree and are not worried about the income potential, you can alternatively go to a cheaper school (public + in-state) and slash the student debt dramatically.
Because most UI toolkits are strongly object oriented and Rust isn't an object oriented language.
Rust is not a complex language; it's otherwise: Rust has higher-level abstractions that makes it much easier to program with.

Actually, I was trying to explain this a few days ago: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/any-possible-improvements-to-t...

Rust has an Iterator type. It might be a bit "complex" to understand at first sight, but once you grasp the concept, it makes programming much easier. And your code is much more readable too. I try to avoid loops/conditionals these days; if I'm using them, I probably can express that in a Type and have a descriptive name/functions for that type.

There are many more types/syntax that makes programming with Rust a marvel: Result/Option types, generics, macros, async/await, error chaining, etc...
I would think OP is talking about tasks at work that they're not familiar with and less talking starting a business which is how I think you interpreted it.
In my case (and in my recommendation), it's more like writing that you "know" a (human) language when you can get by with it conversationally in a foreign country, even if you couldn't go off and immediately write a novel in it, unimpeded, without a dictionary.

There are different definitions of "knowing" a language. I'm just arguing that the one that should be used on resumes is one of basic competency, not necessarily high expertise, unless you're specifically applying to be a specialist. That's not lying.
OK, but the user with physical access should have the option to disable it (without damaging the rest of the system).

The growing loses are mostly likely, ironically due to their growth.

As such companies grow and see huge market in front of them, it makes sense to take on loses to grab bigger market share.

Consider a company that makes widgets, profitably on a unit-basis. If margins are thin and it costs a lot to make said widgets, then they need something called 'working capital' which is the money to pay suppliers etc. before they, themselves get paid by their customers. This 'working capital' is kind of like a permanent need for some kind of debt, and weirdly, it grows as the company grows! So in a similar way, a 'high growth' company can have an ever-increasing need for debt as long as it's growing. Without access to this working capital, it can starve and die. It seems like it's a paradox, but it's not.

Everything will be cancelled. The risk is deemed unacceptable in the current climate.
Disagreements affect morale and slow down execution time, and consensus-building dilutes ownership which also affects morale and in the mid-term also slows down decision making.

You can deactivate consensus-building and encourage disagree and commit without being a jerk. It's one of the though ones when you are leading, but it can be pulled off. Of course you need to collectively make the judgement that you want to give ownership to tight groups and that people will need to sense if they need to disagree and commit, otherwise you will sound delusional and get out of touch with the rest of the team.
Assuming a constant force of friction the slowing of Earth’s rotation would be linear ~ t and the lengthening of our days would be the inverse ~ 1/t so we cannot simply divide 4,500,000,000 by 70,000,000 to estimate the original length of a day.

Still, extrapolating back to Earth’s early years would yield a rather short day. Sources from Wikipedia [1] [2] estimate a 5 hour day after the Theia Impact that created the Moon.

That’s basically what I’m doing, except with a 3 unit building in Michigan. In an average month, the two AirBnB units bring in 3-4x the mortgage in revenue. Not enough to retire of course, but it’s a nice side hustle.

That being said, our bookings been hit pretty hard by the coronavirus. We’ve hade multiple cancellations recently, and the month of April is basically wide open. We usually have an occupancy rate for 85%. I think we’ll be lucky to have 50% of the next couple months.
For almost any small business, there are a few things I want that I would think would be standardized but people don't do them.

I want a menu, a phone number, an address, the hours they are open. Maybe an email address or other message sending interface. And I want those to be easy to access on a phone or on a PC. Slap a nice picture on it if you like, but keep the functionality. Why is that so difficult/rare? I mean, it must be that the average small business owner is focused on different things that having a straightforward way for customers to contact them and get basic information.

> Localization is not a problem;

I didn't say it was a problem for most users ( aka passive users ). I said it's a problem because they make it difficult/impossible for tech/active/advanced users to switch it.

> Websites should never assume they know better which locale their users want than the users themselves.

Yes. You just restated my comment. Not allowing tech/active/advanced users the option is the problem. I love comments that appear to debunked what instead you wrote but just write it in a different way and pretend it is new.
My problem with compatibalism, is compatibilism is so rigid. Why can’t we just overtly define free will in such a way that we have “free will,” and at the same time acknowledge that we lack “free will” for another definition. I guess what I’m trying to say is compatibilism just seems to me like it takes a hard stance on a word game.
No no, arguing is important. It lubricates an essential step in the scientific process. No one can design experiments, let alone predict results or even understand results, without understanding.

I'm guessing we have a different opinion on what "competing solutions" or "accurate user <-> device attribution" or "setting up an LDAP server" mean. I'm sure there's a version of this story where somebody picks Intune (it manages everything!) and then decides to run their own AD install (inexplicably) where that description is accurate, but we've seen a pile of people deploy Jamf Pro/Connect to GSuite/Okta and what you're describing does not match my experience.

With GSuite in particular, nobody set up any LDAP. It's an OIDC app, you do not run Connect Verify or Connect Sync. There's LDAP going on when you're authing against Azure, but if you're in that situation AD seems like what you want?

I read your description as suggesting that if you pick anything other than your product, there's necessarily an AD DS or slapd in your future, and I hope we can agree that's definitely not the case. In the most common case for our audience (startups) it's not even any LDAP at all.

Is it fewer clicks in Fleetsmith? Maybe? Probably? And you have to know whatever the hell a "PreStage Enrollment" is which is not as easy as it could be. But I think you're making it sound a lot more hairy than it is, particularly for a deployment with "hundreds or thousands of devices". The hard problem facing that IT team is not finding someone who is unafraid of the words "Preference Domain", come on.

(To reiterate my position: I am not saying Fleetsmith is bad, I'm saying that I think your post makes it sound like anything besides Fleetsmith is a world of pain, and I accept that you probably extra-believe that as someone who founded Fleetsmith (not in the sense of "you're lying" but in the sense of you don't bet the farm on trying to fix things you don't think are broken), but, I think a) whatever Fleetsmith is fine and yes it's probably better at doing the limited set of things you should be doing but b) compared to our experience this is a pretty wide exaggeration of how bad anything else is like.)
Unfortunately that math doesn't work. The US has roughly 100k ICU beds. Critical patients are spending about two weeks on a ventilator. Doing the math that means we can treat a maximum of 2 million patients this year.

Assuming half the country gets infected and the 20-30% hospitalization rate remains that's 35 million or so patients.

So best case we can treat about 5% of the cases. And that's if we let no other patients into the ICU. Which isnt practical because they run at ~80% capacity or more anyways. So really that number drops down to more like 1%.

The only option is to contain it or watch millions die.

This is it for us as well. We always used to use VRBO for vacations for the same reason (and will likely return based on serial bad experiences with AirBnB).

This is untrue:

As we’ve repeatedly stated, we stand by the findings and analysis of our investigation, and, as detailed in our company statement, we’ve provided all forensic evidence and analysis to the FBI as requested. Additionally, our findings have been supported by the U.S. intelligence community and other cybersecurity companies.

> Assange... say[s] "It wasn't the Russians"

Has he actually said that? The actual quotes I've seen have not been definitive:

"The same day, Assange told NBC News that "it's what's in the emails that's important, not who hacked them." When asked by NBC News if WikiLeaks might have been used to distribute documents stolen as part of a Russian intelligence operation, Assange replied: "There is no proof of that whatsoever. We have not disclosed our source."[1]

and

"On Sean Hannity’s radio show, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said that hacked Democratic documents sent to reporters at Gawker and The Hill may have come from Russia. But, he said, he is confident the emails he received did not come from the same source.".. "“Our source is not the Russian government,” said Assange, later claiming WikiLeaks did not receive its material from any state actor, Russia or otherwise."[2]

(Note "state actor" - which would align with the idea that the hacking group is just under direction of Russian intel, not that it is part of it)

The backend is open sourced, it is Kythe.io. It supports go, c++, java out of the box, for some definition of out of the box. Maybe even typescript. Also cross-references protobufs work generated code of you make the stars align ;)

As for UI, treetide/underhood I mention elsewhere is the only open option now.

But Kythe comes with command line utils and an API you can query directly as well.

What is missing from the open source is a production-ready parallel serving table builder. There is one in golang which uses Apache Beam, but last time I checked the go workers are not well supported on the Flink runner. It didn't even work properly on the GCP runner. Hope this would change.
Entanglement is not a stable mode for particles afaik, it takes effort not to break apart. Note that it's not limited to two particles, so you have a point, but the effects would be vastly more limited in time, at least in the first degree of causality.

If you however mean that any entire observable universe¹, if cosmic super-inflation is true, must be causally related and thus "pre"-determined, which may be qualified as "super"-determined in a way, then I agree (layman too).

Why are you talking about profiteering? This was just a business doing it’s thing.

State sponsored enterprise is what happens in autocratic countries. At the whim of the ruler enterprise is expropriated, whenever something is seen as adequately tempting.

You may think some ill-informed voting public is an okay form of autocratic governance because you’d slap a ‘democracy’ label on it, but it would result in widespread expropriation of businesses by government officials who would consequently wield immense power. The economy would collapse because the incentive to outperform would be gone. There would be a brain drain from private enterprise into government bureaucracy. This is the principle reason why socialist and autocratic governments have relatively unproductive economies. When The People’s Republic of China realized this and permitted private ownership and enterprise, their economy took off as people found an incentive to work harder...
No, you are entirely misreading that. You don’t just get everything reset to zero. So bad credit, yes, but also maybe a condition is that you are still on the hook for legal fees but they have been worked down to 50,000 and the payments have been rescheduled to 20 years.

It’s a legal process, not an eraser.
They're an American site, of course they want to reduce the use of cars, cars have been hideously overpromoted in the US, resulting in insane costs for the user, crazy high costs for the government, horrible health impacts, high fatality rates, tons of unnecessary pollution, etc.

In most parts of the country, the car is literally the only viable way to make most trips. That's how much they've dominated every aspect of our transportation system.

Taking the 'position' that such a monoculture is bad, is about as political as asserting that lack of racial or gender diversity in workplaces is bad.

Do you feel bothered by sites that don't argue the other side too, that we should keep homogeneous workplaces around? Does it count as a pro-diversity 'bias' when they don't do that?

> the idea of ending cars is ridiculous

So wait, did you accuse me of not reading them because you haven't read them yourself? You see, they've never actually promoted this, and yet here you are, asserting that they have.

Reducing the use of cars in favor of other, less harmful modes sure, and car bans in some select areas, yeah. You can't walk on the freeway usually either. It's the height of absurdity to equivocate that with a total ban, anymore than saying that people who don't want me biking on the interstate don't want me biking anywhere ever.

That doesn't seem to be the case - a man from Baden-Württemberg, who died earlier this month, was only tested positive AFTER he was already dead for a few days and counted towards the statistic.

This means your general statement cannot be true.
It was way worse than that. Back in 2005, Rick Santorum, the republican senator from AccuWeather's home state, introduced a bill that sought to privatize the National Weather Service's weather data and forecast products. AccuWeather's Founder and CEO, brothers Joel and Barry Myers, were among Santorum's biggest campaign donors, and they argued that the NWS forecast products were unfairly preventing them from making money on their similar products. Accuweather used the NWS data themselves, so they sought to prevent the NWS from publishing the data publicly, while preserving their own access to it.

Not coincidentally, Donald Trump has nominated Barry Meyers to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

A good summary is at https://www.outsidethebeltway.com/rick-santorums-war-against...

The bill was called the National Weather Service Duties Act of 2005.

I made an attempt to find an actual definition:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindset

> According to Carol Dweck,[11] individuals can be placed on a continuum according to their implicit views of "where ability comes from".

> Dweck states that there are two categories (growth mindset versus fixed mindset) that can group individuals based on their behaviour, specifically their reaction to failure. Those with a "fixed mindset" believe that abilities are mostly innate and interpret failure as the lack of necessary basic abilities, while those with a "growth mindset" believe that they can acquire any given ability provided they invest effort or study. In particular, an individual's mindset impacts how they face and cope with challenges, such as the transition into junior high school from elementary school or losing your job.[11] According to Dweck, individuals with a "growth" theory are more likely to continue working hard despite setbacks.

I have some poison I'd like to administer: You think this is great, but I find it sinister. It's a wonderful way to blame failure on the person, for if they were growers they'd win no matter what they had to work from. Are some people worse, or simply worse-off? "Use the growth mindset!" the growers can scoff! "There's nothing you can't achieve in the end!" and if you don't, well, they can just condescend. It's impossible to win against such philosophy; it allows them to ignore serious issues, and just fail to see a jammed-up or scammy underlying system, in which you can't rise and must always get pissed on.

But enough of my cynical snarling. I'm sure my growth mindset will let me be the first 36-year-old NCAA champion. You know, unless coronavirus destroys it utterly.
