> That doesn't follow: you could graduate, get your degree, and declare bankruptcy. You're fine, your loan is gone, and the bank regrets their investment.

In my early days in Motorsports (late HS?) we had a anesthesiologist in our group, he was the wise elder who had accrued enough money and flexibility in his practice to play around with the young punks and 'show us how its done.'

One day after a tech day before a track event we working and wrenching in his garage and someone asked him how he got into the trade; turns out he was drafted in Vietnam and chose a medic role out of professional interest but also to ensure not being sent into the suicidal combat zones and come back home alive.

He said that it was incredibly typical to do what you just said in the 60-80s and declare bankruptcy like that when you got your MD, mind you this is at a time when it cost a fraction of what it costs today.

But you could also have your entire medical career subsidized by the State and expedited if you're sent on tour faster than anything offered in the civilian World and choose whatever medical school because of the GI bill and do your residency anywhere you wanted due to your status as a veteran.

And then stiff the Bank for any loans you may have accrued and it was accepted and common practice and save while your credit score was fixed.

He was one of the few boomers who openly spoke about how his generation wasn't anymore responsible then the 'entitled' millennial trope and tried to lecture us about it as that was becoming wide-spread by that time. He actually gave advice about the optics of this route that were being skewed to the detriment of his Industry and profession.

Now seeing the shortage of medical workers during COVID are being perilous overworked all over the World turns out he was, reluctantly, right.
I just want to echo what everyone has already said that this is indeed very cool in many aspects.

The API documentation is what really jumps out to me: it's an absolute joy to read, and makes me feel that the developer actually respects me as a potential user. Thank you!
I have found it to be very flaky. I also found some issues in defining functions. The functions don't work well with semi colon as a separator so I used GO as a separator to work.

Since then I have switched to DB fiddled and it's working well for me. It supports more variants of pgsql also.
Right.

But actually, "prepared" is often literally the case.

Before critical depositions, experts spend a day or two, with attorneys and consultants, practicing replies. And experts are very cautious about answering unexpected questions.

Xiaomi produces one of the best bang for your bucks hardware in the market. Their software is crap though. Ads in the system apps, ui customization that arguably looks worse than stock android, and now blanket tracking like this, though it was always pinging their tracking servers frequently. My pihole logs pretty much full with blocked xiaomi requests until I flashed the phone.

Best thing to do when you got an android phone, especially from a chinese manufacturer, is to flash LineageOS on it.
Be careful.

Rauner cut 400 million for education during a year he could make a budget with legislators.

Pat Quinn cut education spending by 340 million during a year when he got to write the budget himself because the legislature couldn't pass one.
I use this[1] hosts list that's designed to block almost all useless domains Xiaomi tries to contact. In addition to that list I manually blocked this domain[2] that Xiaomi only connects to on certain countries.

I'm using a Xiaomi with Android One and despite having opted out of analytics the phone still tries to connect to Xiaomi servers.

I've been considering installing LineageOS on it for some time but unlocking the bootloader unfortunately deletes everything I have installed or downloaded. I've never used the stock browser though, always Firefox.

> because I'm not going back to plastic shells

I'm intensely curious about this stance. Apple popularized the aluminum case in laptops, and having owned a dozen each of aluminum and plastic/carbon fiber notebooks, aluminum is just... worse. It's heavier, more expensive, and every substantial impact is a permanent mar on the finish. Why is non-plastic so necessary? What advantage is there?

Frankly education is too cheap, which is why people are getting crappy outcomes and then debating on it.

The idealized form of studying is education with mentoring, see Blooms 2 sigma results.

But that is too expensive, who wants to have that number of teachers ! It would cost a fortune!

So instead people try to cut costs, and or keep making it a discussion on price, since this is America, instead of just making colleges public and free.
Ask HN: Help find good statistics learning resource(es) for a beginner
Hello all, I have a background in computer science and work as a developer. I want to learn statistics from basic to advance level. Is there any good resource( books, online courses, video series, etc) that i can use to learn (preferably in a hands on way). I have found quite a few but asking your opinion.
I read the initial post when it was trending on HN, and had previously noticed that line in Stripe's Privacy Policy. I remember checking immediately afterward that my company was only loading Stripe's js on our billing page. I'm a skeptic by nature, so even after reading pc's response I still didn't feel great.

Then I got to reading this new post:

> Amid the discussion on Hacker News, a user expressed concern that, despite Stripe’s current good intentions, user data could fall into the wrong hands in the event that another company purchased Stripe ... Perhaps in direct response to that exchange, the new privacy policy includes this clause:

> > Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your Personal Data, but only in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy unless you agree otherwise.

This is fantastic. I've yet to see a requirement such as this in any Privacy Policy I've read. In fact, I hadn't even considered the possibility of such cleverness. This is now my new gold standard for the company sale terms of any practical privacy policy. I'm going to look into updating my company's privacy policy to reflect this language.
For Mars you want people to go up last so they minimize the time spent in zero g. Docking supplies on the ISS is also pointless.

The ISS is not in a useful orbit for a Mars trip and whatever your sending there can make the trip in the same thing you send into orbit. Trying to shoehorn in the ISS just make the trip more expensive and complex.
No, it wouldn't. They both account for years of early death, just in different ways.
OTOH Xiaomi also sent out dev devices to custom rom developers. Well technically it's Poco the Xiaomi subsidiary[1]

Is there any word on whether that is true for european region phones as well? From what I remember they disabled certain functionality like Face Unlock in the EU. Not sure if it was due to privacy or patents, but given the GDPR I wouldn't be surprised if it was due to privacy.

Roughly 90 percent of student loans are guaranteed by the federal government. Your argument doesn’t hold.
Not saying that couldn't be, but it seems unlikely: you're going through several additional conversion steps: from heat to steam to electricity to chemical energy (in the battery), back to electricity and then to motion--whereas a gas engine has a single conversion step: from heat to motion. Given that each conversion step introduces new inefficiencies, I would be surprised if coal-> heat-> steam-> electricity-> chemical-> electricity-> motion path were more efficient than the heat-> motion path (even granted that coal-fired power plants are, considered alone, probably more efficient than gas engines).

Electric cars would, I suspect, only be more efficient in terms of CO2 if the production of their electricity did not produce any CO2, i.e. the electricity came from hydro, nuclear, wind or geothermal.

Agreed 100%. The article presents a whitewashed rose-tinted picture of Cliqz that's very different from reality, and it's alarming that its (former) employees continue to propagate that reality distortion even beyond the existence of Cliqz itself.

The browser and search engine were a front for the "offers", plain and simple. The whole premise was Orwellian to its core; war was peace, freedom was slavery, ignorance was strength, and tracking was privacy.

I sympathize with the newly-displaced employees facing the grim prospects of finding work in a fractured labor market. Hopefully they'll all have a chance to put their skills toward more honest ventures.

I love the graphics and web design! It looks like a simple service, and more alternatives in the space are welcome!

Full-disclosure, I also develop a "competing" (if you can call it that) service: https://kvdb.io - my landing page isn't as nice. Our buckets offer some atomic operations on keys and Lua-based scripting (you can spit out arbitrary text or HTML and handle basic GET/POST requests with parameter parsing), which might be useful for prototyping.

You should figure out how to sustain this kind of service on $FREE. In my experience, I've found a lot of people sign up but don't use it for anything serious. One of my first customers signed up and demanded a refund immediately after he discovered "oh, your simple key-value store doesn't support SQL queries?"

Good luck!
> We use git terminology deliberately, because it is a tool for git, and you should not be afraid of understanding your tools.

I know git internals enough to know what a ‘ref’ is, but IMHO it’s a word that’s pretty hard for an average git user to know. I would suggest at least having a tooltip with some text like ‘Git references: branches, tags, etc...’ so that beginners can understand what it‘s used for.

I have no horse in the CPU race but I do have a different perspective here. I have a SFF home server with <100W cooling. I am compute-bound, have no discrete GPU, and have no interest in Meltdown as I run only trusted code. My box sports a 6-core i7 8700, and I am tempted by the 10-core i9 10900.

Why not AMD? Answer: iGPU. AMD's best iGPU offering seems to be the Ryzen 9 4900HS, which has fewer cores, and you can't just order it - it seems to be for OEMs only. So staying with Intel.
If the developer chooses to do a shallow crap job, then sure. But that's the developer's choice, not the programming language's.

Sounds like you technically were arrested.

That's... basically what sealed means.

Generally the law applies based on the employee's state of residence, not where the company is based.

Anyway... just answer their questions truthfully, but don't disclose anything about sealed records. I highly doubt they'll ask or care about arrests.

I would also like to extend my sincere thank you to @antirez for building such a wonderful piece of software (lean & mean) that has not only helped me personally but has also played an instrumental part in the growth of several large tech entities over the past decade. Hats off to you sir and thank you again!
I think it helps to consider this a problem of "slow vs fast".

Society has displayed ways of sheltering and hibernating through tulmultuous times and subsequently developing some kind of response.

Chief among this is the reuse of the old. Of course you can build new quickly; that's what Andreesen calls for. And it's easy, as these things go: Hand some money and labor to someone who wants to bark orders and throw their weight around and they'll get a thing made, like Ozymandias building his monument. History always provides such people.

But reusing old successfully is the thing you need crafty witches and wizards for, and they usually only reveal themselves when a dragon shows up and needs a talking-to.

In this case, the dragon is that tendency to push information towards a model of legibility by the state and for the populace to in turn aim to be inscrutable, a back and forth that has occurred throughout history. Sometimes this shapes spatial life, as with the story of medieval taxation based on the number of windows in the house. At other times it uses political theory and precedent to assert rights. Here we have the opportunity to be inscrutable by a rather direct escape from the norm, simply using some less popular alternative.

This is a crisis mostly in the sense that we still crave to have a popular, inclusive, fast-moving discussion while being inscrutable to power, and you can't square that circle so easily. Rather, you have to look towards gradual redefinitions of reality and possibility to counter normalization. This is necessarily a slower process than simple surveillance and seizure.

With respect to the Web, it's clear enough that it was built with holes in it, and much of the resulting stack was further distorted in turn. Why? Because it was a new thing - and evolved defenses as it went along.

But now it is an old thing, and as a popularizer of concept has succeeded wildly. The concept is what we'll probably use, and the specific tech only in parts.
Ask HN: What can I do when there is nothing to do at work?
I'm a contract software developer and would consider myself mid-senior level in my skillset. I've been working for my current client for about 3 months. Every assignment they give to me I get done as soon as possible to the point that I sometimes don't have much to work on some days. Lots of down time. Over the last few weeks things have really slowed down. Every other day I reach out to my two project managers and the general system architect of the company to see if I can assist them with anything. 90% of the time they have nothing for me.

What I found odd was my department manager, who is essentially the boss of everyone in IT, sent out a mass email asking if they know anyone that can fill a role that requires about 5 years more experience than I have, but involves work very similar to what I was hired on for. I even sent my department manager a text message saying I would be more than happy to take on some of the work this new role is suppose to do once it is filled. In addition I told them I don't have much to work on right now. The department manager never responded to my text, but I could see they read it cause it was iMessage.

We are all working remotely cause of pandemic. There are lots of different internal tools that are used and if I would tinker with them would be essentially guessing to figure out exactly how they work and how I can improve upon them. I would need a businesses analyst to sit down with me to explain everything.

What can I do in this predicament?
Uranium is quite common, if you don't care too much about cost. If you own a house with a suburban lot, the top meter of soil in your yard probably contains several kilograms of uranium.
>I know git internals enough to know what a ‘ref’ is, but IMHO it’s a word that’s pretty hard for an average git user to know. I would suggest at least having a tooltip with some text like ‘Git references: branches, tags, etc...’ so that beginners can understand what it‘s used for.

In general this is against our principles. We prefer to teach people how to use powerful tools rather than make less powerful tools that are easier to use. I don't believe that users are not capable of learning new things. In this particular case, this is the first time anyone has commented on "refs" being difficult to understand in the 1.5 years that SourceHut has been around.

>If I remember correctly, I thought that a way to submit patches through a web UI was being developed... Is it still true?

Yeah, this is still true, and somewhat implemented now. The large blue button on the repo summary page can clone the repo to your account, and then be used to interactively prepare a patchset to send to the mailing list. I'm not sure how Polylactic_acid missed it, actually, unless they don't have an account. The UI only works for account holders, though the big button is replaced with instructions on how to contribute by email if you're logged out.

There's a video of the process here:

Most people that think C# is verbose haven't used modern C#. It's an excellent language and if I had to go back to MS world I wouldn't bad sad at all.

That said right now I get little opportunity to use it because it doesn't fit into the current ecosystems I am working in.
Shame because it really is a joy to program in, tooling is excellent async programming in C# -just works- which isn't the case in Rust, Java (or Kotlin) or anything comparable.

So while I don't get to use it often I hold C# in high regard.

I can't get my [knowledge-based authentication] data back. I don't want their measly $125 from them (it will cost me far more time and money when this breach is used against me). I want them to pay the cost for the government to replace the SSN as an identifier. And to pay for the government give me a new SSN in the meanwhile... and they don't get to store the new SSN in their database (because they dun messed up). I think that would be a better outcome for everyone.
