Social acceptability is a big reason. Historically there were many socially acceptable ways to spend your late teenage years and early 20s including

- The Frontier

- Artistic Cities such as Paris/Venice

- Apprenticeships in factories and major industrial centers.

- University

The rise of the middle class also coincided with a consolidation into the University as being the only socially acceptable path. In practice one could probably lose money slower, have new social experiences, and learn more about art/culture spending a year in Brooklyn rather than spending 50k at a liberal arts college. Even in the realm of software development jumping straight to incubators, bootcamps and similar entry-level opportunities may provide better out of class learning opportunities than some university programs for the money and time.
>Ok, rectify generations of slavery, followed by segregation, followed by institutionalized racism, and that will happen.

Already done, it's 2020. Crime is much more linked with ethnicity than it is with poverty.

The poorest ethnic group in NYC (where I live) are Asians (https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58ff7f40e4b0c46f0782a5b6). They still commit orders of magnitude less crimes than blacks (https://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/race-crime-and-poli...).
That's too bad, as I've found the unsubscribe links generally work and mean that I stop getting emails. It means my spam folder is usually actual spam/phishing emails instead of stuff that I simply find annoying.

Maybe, but you actively unsubscribing confirms it's an active email account.
Sure, but I'm talking about probabilities of using them: The chance of surveillance of protesters ticking over into fear, and the lack of visible human faces making it even less personal. My guess is that if every protest nationwide for any issue at all began always wearing masks, with no other change in behavior, use of force against them would increase.
You're going to try to launder millions (maybe tens or hundreds of millions) of dollars through an MMO and think no one will notice? Good luck.

A quote from George Mallory about climbing Mt. Everest:

People ask me, 'What is the use of climbing Mount Everest?' and my answer must at once be, 'It is of no use.'There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever. Oh, we may learn a little about the behaviour of the human body at high altitudes, and possibly medical men may turn our observation to some account for the purposes of aviation. But otherwise nothing will come of it. We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, not a gem, nor any coal or iron... If you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won't see why we go. What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to live. That is what life means and what life is for.

A shitty version, you mean. Same as Office 365 vs. the native Office.

The web versions of most native apps are very, very bad at the moment.

Everything you wrote here applies to most languages, including .NET, Java, C++, Rust and others.

The fact that you and your colleagues know other technologies does not mean they are the right approach.

Bad faith? I'm arguing with facts, and logic. Just because it goes against the narrative and triggers you doesn't mean it's "bad faith".

But the explanation is lacking.

>A more interesting property is that any non-vertical line will intersect the curve in at most three places.

If this is correct, that means a line could intersect at 1,2, or 3 places.

>Let's imagine this curve as the setting for a bizarre game of billiards. Take any two points on the curve and draw a line through them; the line will intersect the curve at exactly one more place.

No that is not correct. I can already see two points where a horizontal line would only intersect 2 points and not intersect another. Basically, you can draw a line tangent to the curve on the left and intersect only 2 points instead of three.

These geometric explanations strike me as simplifications, and as I imagine what it would look like in code, I get the feeling that there would be all sorts of special cases, boundary conditions, and asymptotes.
The sacks were pretty easy to order. You would have a dump truck come out and leave a pile of sand on the driveway. From there, you basically shovel/fill sacks like mad and either place them on your wall or put them someplace heated. Next day you would order another truck of sand. A stupid amount of manpower was involved. Entire high school football team came over to help fill on one of the days. The entire city basically shut down and did little but. We did the same for at least five or six houses that we did for ours. Exhausting.

I'll have to dig up some of the 'end of days' photos where it almost breached the wall. You had to buy flood insurance early on... which was pricey, but covered a lot of the supplies. It was several thousand dollars for the 2009 construction.

We had 3 '500 year' floods. 1997, 2009, and 2011. The Red river flows north, which is an oddity. Lots of snow, with folks redirecting water caused some new records. Grand Forks was flooded out in one of those years - Fargo almost fell. By the time the third major flood happened - we were ready.

https://i.imgur.com/jhAIMMn.jpg

We set up a series of hesco bags and filled them directly. Worked great, and they came and picked up the bags to be reused in the Bismark flooding. Sand doubled in price each time... and the city really wanted this property on the cheap... so that last run took hours but cost about 20k. (yikes) After that, the city built a permanent dike that protected the property.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend. That’s terrible.

I have been habitually sending "I have finished using your service, could you please delete my account" emails since around 2008 or so.

Prior to GDPR, 9 replies in 10 would be polite but dismissive responses, basically telling me that I'm making an unreasonably burdensome request.

Post GDPR, everyone responds with a message stating they have followed my request in a timely fashion.

Am I disappointing that GDPR has not fined Facebook into oblivion? Yeah. I was hoping for global scale schadenfreude as much as the next person.

However, GDPR has fundamentally normalized the notion that peoples relationships with companies need not be permanent, and that submitting to eternal spam is not the accepted price of buying a flight online. GDPR has established in law that it's totally reasonable for people to not want to give their local gym an iris scan in order to enter the gym and work out, and it is indeed the gym owner who's the arsehole in that situation. This grants leverage against the arsehole.

In that respect, it's been a smashing success. There is much we could improve on, but on the statement "it only benefited the lawyers"...hard disagree.

MongoDB is a nice shortcut for when you don’t want to deal with a schema at the beginning but that’s all it is - a shortcut.

Turns out schemas exist for a reason and will save your ass later down the line, and I’m not even talking about Mongo’s dubious transactionality, atomicity or lack of good tooling.
This was my thought too. If you feel you absolutely need a new barbell in the middle of a pandemic, then maybe you'll have to pay a little extra for it.

Everyone is demanding that workers get extra hazard pay and additional expenses like PPE, which they absolutely should, but where's that money going to come from?

> Besides, personally I find AWS console much easier to understand. I don't get why people hate it.

The console is fine as a learning tool for deployment/management, and for occasional experimentation, monitoring, and troubleshooting, but any IaC tool is vastly more manageable for non-toy deployments where you need repeatability and consistency and/or the ability to manage more than a very small number of resources.
The point is that it doesn't make sense to be paranoid about no E2E if you still use emails for sending/receiving sensitive info.
Because there is someone willing to give me a sum of money to use a skill that I have worked on over the years, and I need that sum of money to afford housing and nourishment for myself and my family.

That compiles and then runs the resulting binary, so you still need the Go infrastructure and the latency.

Go is without doubt a better candidate for scripting than things like Rust or C++, but it cannot compete with the ubiquitous and featureful Python or built-in Unix tools (even more ubiquitous, but less featureful and quite dated).
Same with me. My kid is in an international school. The school offered an insultingly small refund that made a lot of parents angry. Not me personally, because I understand that their largest cost by far is teachers, and that cost does not go away unless they furlough the teachers, which is a big problem since they probably can't get them back when they reopen. Second thing is that most parents depend heavily on the daycare aspect of school which is not being delivered.
>But I'd imagine that the states that dropped out of the election would actually get zero votes, and and those would be the states most closely aligned with the president.

Right. So you can't assume that outcome. You have to figure out some edge case that would cause toss up states to either drop out, or have their Electors challenged. I think it's less likely a state cancels elections, than having their Electors challenged, even though neither has happened.

>But if it got to the red states picking that, would they be obligated to pick an official presidential candidate?

Yes 11th amendment. House must choose from the top three receiving EC votes.

Isn’t a “standardized abstraction over different hardware” just... an actual operating system? Isn’t “the operating system of the cloud” just... the actual operating system running on your cloud VMs? If you script a deployment environment atop vanilla Linux distros (e.g. ansible), you also avoid public cloud lock-in. (Side benefit: you also avoid container engine lock-in, and container layer complexity!)

Containers are a standard abstraction over the operating system, not over the hardware (or the VM, even). This has its use cases, but making it “the standard” for deployment of all apps and workloads is just bananas, in my view.
I went to a college where students were required to live on campus and banned from having a car. My experience after attending multiple of these programs is that the numbers showing the dangers of drunk driving in the college age cohort are misrepresented as measuring the risk of alcohol poisoning among college students. Students were pretty much told that going to a frat party put them in mortal danger. In reality, every college student who dies of alcohol poisoning earns a local news story, and if the incidence were anything like 15 out of 100000 college students per year, the news would be full of such stories.

I worked as an RA - it was my job to enact policies addressing various risks facing the student body - and my perception is that extreme overreaction was the norm.

There is. Police disproportionately kill black men, but there is ALSO a long history of cops murdering unarmed white men.

They didn’t pack the Supreme Court, it’s still the same number. They did appoint a bunch of textualists and originalists, not just die hard conservatives. That makes it harder to drive progressive change through the judiciary, but the legislative branch was always the better option.

Actual court packing is a terrible idea, last attempted by FDR, at great political cost. Hearing candidates actively propose plans for doing so boggled my mind.
Okay, but how is that more than a straw man? Who is this mythical person who is paranoid about E2E and then emails their darkest secrets around?
I followed the AIDS crisis in the newspaper from Day One, starting with one-inch long columns about "mysterious purple lesions called Kaposi's sarcoma" to shrines with hundreds of photos occupying whole sections.

The similarity with corona in 2020 is that so little was known, but for years, not months. The difference was that AIDS was 100% fatal until drugs were developed, and AIDS killed a generation of young adults rather than older people.

(There were interviews with a handful of men who were immune to the AIDS virus, but had to endure all of their friends and partners dying, and had to deal with inheriting a lot of possessions that reminded them of dead people.)

Almost all hemophiliacs in North America used pooled blood products from thousands of donors, so just about all of them died. (There's a Canadian film on Youtube that covers this.)
Based on the statistics I have seen, if the US took Sweden's approach to the current epidemic (which has been recently held up as a model on HN and elsewhere) and got similar results, an additional 30,000 people would have died thus far. I haven't seen anyone bring this up and ask for an accounting of the benefit that is greater.
The Regan administration had two options. The first was to spend billions of dollars hoping to find a cure while certain behaviors continued to spread the virus. (what these activists wanted) The second option was to reduce the occurrence of those behaviors, namely intravenous recreational drug use, and unprotected sex with large numbers of sexual partners, which is particularly widespread among homosexual males.

The war on drugs had some horrible consequences, but in this case it was a positive. Even the very liberal New York City government shut down gay bathhouses to reduce the amount of unprotected sex and had some success in reducing infection rates.

Telling people to stop a selfish and destructive behavior is not demonizing them or ignoring their problems.

Key quote:

The freedom to leave your house when you wish to and go where you will is not a civil liberty or a political liberty. It is part of being a free man or woman. Those who do not have it, who fear being scolded like a child, fined and disgraced for being out on the street without government approval, are like serfs tied to the land they work.
This is the 4th Starship that has imploded or exploded. They only lost 3 Falcon 1's before their first successful flight, and Elon has publicly stated that a 4th failure would have bankrupted the company.

Those three Falcon flights were attempts to reach orbit with rockets that weren't prototypes so the failures were more significant, and they probably blew up a bunch of Falcon prototypes behind closed doors prior to the launch attempts, but it's interesting how three failures on Falcon was a big deal but four failures on Starship isn't. SpaceX is certainly in a different and much less precarious position now than it was in 2006-2008.

I guess I took the fixed value to be the function, and not the... value. I see my misunderstanding now.
Definitely. But as a general trend my money will be spent on more meaningful "things" or experiences and not on the mindless stuff that I used to sometimes spend it on during my previous busy life. What I mean by this is I will buy less of fast food, gas, fashion, bars and more on experiences, travels and other hobbies.
If accurate, half of people thinking that is a ton, and a huge issue.

As I suggested in my first post, though, not all studies are created equal.

This one could be accurate, but I'm not jumping straight to 98% certainty based on two articles. Survey design matters, and high confidence must be earned.

I shouldn't have said I take issue with the claim. It would have been more accurate to say I don't know that I trust the claim implicitly.
Exactly, I was trying to point this out, that they were seperate. I only mention increasing the rounds of your passphrase in the same sentence because you do this when generating the key to increase security, and if you don't specify it, it gets overlooked. You don't have to specify any additional bits in the key strength, but you should specify additional rounds in the passphrase. Agreed they are unrelated reasons internally, but its a good way to add an additional level of protection.
I feel I should explain this lackluster joke. It's not a comment on the quality of the language, but rather on how the Leisure Suit Larry game series skipped episode 4 completely, and the in-universe explanation was that there was a lost game called "Larry 4: The Missing Floppies."
This article adds nothing to common knowledge everyone with a bachelors degree in computer science is completely aware of. Can anyone tell me what I missed? Or where is the reason why this post is trending among people whose background I cannot grasp?
The modern fascination with "functional" is, in part, because we have redefined "functional" to apply to basically any language with first-class anonymous functions that are closures - witness all the talk about "functional JS" and how it's "almost like Lisp".

By that criteria, Smalltalk was one of the first industrial-strength functional languages. In fact, it's better than most, because its closures close over not just the variables, but also over the execution context (i.e. a closure can execute a non-local return from the function in which it was created).
Based on the language in the video, especially in the few extra seconds from the one you linked, it does seem like they were asked to clear the area that they were in. It is impossible to know for sure without the minute or so of footage that was clipped off prior to this incident. Completely agree that that additional context would be critical for making an accurate judgment of the situation.
He did do both. From wikipedia:

>"It's been one of the top priorities with us, and over the last 4 years, and including what we have in the budget for '86, it will amount to over a half a billion dollars that we have provided for research on AIDS in addition to what I'm sure other medical groups are doing." He also remarked, "Yes, there's no question about the seriousness of this and the need to find an answer." Annual AIDS related funding was $44 million in 1983, 2 years after he took office, and was $1.6 billion in 1988, an increase of over 3,600 percent.
