Life is a long haul ride, requires a lot of things to get through it well. College education is obviously one part of it. <

To me College screwed my long haul instead.

When I graduated, I couldn't find any legal jobs (I could find some jobs masquerading as contracts, that employers offered to avoid paying taxes properly), because whenever I did, the person that got hired was someone else that DIDN'T go to college, but had 4 years of experience more than me.

After some time working (like I said, as "contractor"), and I finally had some experience, my issue was that people hired were either younger with same experience, or my age but more experienced.

And then of course there was the issue that my job selection was extremely limited, I could only take jobs that would let me pay my massive student debt, it felt to me my life wasn't much different than the one of a literal slave, being forced to work into very specific jobs because I couldn't take a job that paid less, or take my time to find a better job, etc...

Now I am 33, I have a wife, don't live with my parents anymore, have a reasonable income.

Still can't get unemployment benefits, because never been employed.

Still I am not even called to many job interviews, because "no experience".

Or one time, I was called to a job interview in a big asian multinational that had a Brazillian gamedev office, they been complaining on media for months they were not finding people qualified for the job, the job title was exactly what I had a degree for, the HR loved me and all.

Then when the last step left was for them to get authorization from higher ups... the authorization didn't came.

Know why?

Well, because although I had a degree, they didn't cared about the degree, what they cared about, was experience.

So no, college is NOT "obviously" part of anything unless you mean being "obviously" part of crushing student debt that force thousands into conditions that in my country are literally legally slavery if the owner of the debt was also the employer (we have a law named "employment analogous to slavery", one of its points is that employing people to have them repay their debt to you is considered slavery).
every artist does that. he just did it in a straight, sorryless way. hence the concept in his conceptual art.
Reparations refers to giving cash payments to the black community as an apology for what happened during slavery.

Well in the end we are all just human. We can't expect to blame things on each thing a human does to human.
Thanks for your comment. I am the GP commenter and in fact live in Switzerland, and this is one component of what I was implicitly referring to but I think your comment describes the situation more fairly than I implied. However, I think another aspect I might consider with respect to social conservatism are differences in immigration/integration and cultural diversity, as it seems both countries handle this somewhat differently given their relatively distinct histories.
Obviously no.

But there’s so much classical music out there, that an average person would never be able to tell the difference between something that is generated anew and something just really obscure.

Have you ever tried copying and pasting sections of GPT output into Google?
There are only a couple competitors that are split, ortholinear, and mechanical (ergodox and some small custom others). They all charge over $300 afaik. You can get decent split/standard/membrane keyboards for $80-120 from goldtouch or kinesis.
Then I'll eventually stop using reddit.
There's nothing being forced on us here in the EU in the context of BLM. It's more the case that people here lap it up, copying all the same narratives, terminology and practices. This goes for both ends of the political spectrum. It's pretty worrying.
So those media-rich preview pop-ups for hyperlinks in almost all IM apps would be also affected, no?
Yes they gained working credentials from an internal slack channel by reading them in plaintext.

Basically nothing you have said applies to my experience.
Hardly unique to Murdoch-owned media. Perhaps you're allow your own political biases narrow your perception.
To prove intelligence and conscientiousness? Probably PhD degree.
Embedding the "video play" page will embed the entire page. I don't even know if it would work but it would cripple my webapp which is supposed to be fast, not like reddit's crappy interface.

I mean, if I have to deal with that anyways, then I'll just use reddit's own interface.

I still use it daily and I have a small reddit icon which will open the relevant reddit.com post on a new tab and I can see it then.

It just shouldn't be like this, but "oh, well..."
Here's a basic warmup question: How do you know that a person is conscious?

There are basic medical tests, of course, but maybe they're faking it. You know, as a person, what it feels like to be a person; you feel when you're conscious. Is this feeling universal, or are there people who just don't have it?

This question is known as the question of philosophical zombies [0], or p-zombies, and it is worth taking seriously, if for no other reason than that GPT-3 and friends are very much like p-zombies; they sound very cogent and coherent but are definitely not conscious in the same brain-based way that humans are conscious.

It is and it isn't. It depends if/when you stop.
I just got $250 keyboard. My last one was also in that range.
Though it lasted me around 10 years.

I don't think its evil wanting to have nice things. Its problem when 'you life to buy things, not buy things to live.'
Often big companies employ people directly to work on open source projects that they use heavily. That does pay the bills.
For what’s it worth, many companies have a hard time justifying “unnecessary” expenses to their boards or shareholders. Depending on company structure, their hands may be somewhat tied.

Not all companies, of course; and to be clear, I think such a company structure is a problem itself and agree with you.
yeah but that's not really how rupert murdoch media make their decisions, is it?
I don't think it's dishonest. I expect editorial responsibility, and lack thereof discredits the publication.

Bacs in the UK will alert the account holder that a debit has been set up, but to set it up just requires knowing the sort code (routing number) and bank account number. Much like ACH.

The account owner can at any time go in and cancel that mandate, but they do not have to pre-approve it have it set up.
The interface of the terminal is usually decoupled, there are adapters built for terminals to retro-fit older systems.

Why would it have died? He's very much alive.
There is a fair amount of issues caused by ancient hardware and software, that can't be sourced anymore or the code was lost. It is a very real issue. This seemingly works fine so it gets ignored until it explodes and there is nothing that can be done about. Maybe the motherboard finally died, maybe the network stack can't speak the recent TLS stack so can't connect to anything anymore.

Hardware do die and disappear over decades. Few vendors continue to provide newer replacement at a 100 times markup (maybe IBM and mainframes) the rest is dead in the water (maybe Solaris, Titanium, AIX)
Your experiences aren’t universal. None of my neighbors have reported things being anywhere near that bad - and having multiple competing options suggests it wouldn’t stay that way if it was - and services like CSAs, Hungry Harvest, etc. around here have seen enormous increases. I don’t think that’ll go back to pre-pandemic levels in a hurry even if a vaccine shows up tomorrow.
Are Google and Facebook also going to charge news organisations per click for the traffic they send their way?
To be utilized to create something good, not just for consumption only.
Not sure how this is "world first" when Spain already did this (and Google withdrew the News service as a result).
At that price it's in competition with fully contoured (i.e. not flat) mechanical keyboards.
flattr does exactly that. I never really caught on, though.
Most of stress injury derives from the "time under tension" component which is not necessarily a matter of key travel distance. In this case it's a combination of switch mechanism and keycaps. Flat and light keycaps have less force at rest than tall, heavy keycaps. A higher resting force means the needed activation force is lower. In both cases, the switch is governing how much force is needed in total, and whether there's a "tactile bump" indicating activation before the switch bottoms out completely.

When the switch bottoms out, it's like your fingers have hit a wall: this is the norm with most membrane switch designs, and with linear mechanical switches, which are usually light. With tactile and clicky switches, the concept is to reduce bottoming out by indicating the activation with heavier force partway through the downstroke. A pairing of heavy keycaps and heavy tactile switches is often considered satisfying for typists because then the heft of the switch has been balanced out; a light tap will fling the key down past the tactile bump and spring it up without the same degree of muscle activation as a linear switch. And it is possible to have "too heavy" keycaps for the switch, which simply won't work(always activated).

With the key height, as well, what will matter is tension at rest, which will depend on overall posture. In theory you move the keyboard down if the keys are taller.

Twice I fell into the trap of datadog, having paid more than $300 for a single month in each case.

The simplicity of it, dashboards, notebooks, logs etc, is what makes it so appealing though.
Why do you need state enforcement for such a filter? If you only want to see content that the author is asking $5+ for, that's a very simple filter to implement for any website that sells content (and many of them do just that).

I’m also not sure how well the contents translate to German. After all, Germany has not only compulsory education but the “allgemeine Schulpflicht” (i.e. compulsory school attendance), meaning homeschooling is, for the most part, strictly illegal (Switzerland and Austria have different rules, though).
In summary: many people go to expensive colleges and don't live a good life. On other hand, many people don't go to colleges but live a good life.

That's all.

The US marker makes sense - it allows checking all alignment angles, focus, scale, and various spacial frequency response parameters to be measured. All in perhaps the simplest possible shape.

The Chinese one on the other hand, isn't so useful for any of that. All the lines are the same thickness, and there are no smaller features for fine calibration or measurements. For just calibration, it's far bigger and more complex than necessary.

I agree.

This article is very light on content and I'm kinda surprised something this banal and content-less even made it to an actual publication.

Also, the guy's son graduated high school two years ago, he's 20-21 years old, practically everyone is happy at that age, let's hear about his life satisfaction at 40. That's ignoring the fact that two years is hardly enough time to evaluate the long term outcome of a major life decision.

To be clear, I don't think the author's son will grow up to be miserable, like the parent pointed out, most people don't have a college degree and most people aren't miserable. But this should be obvious.
While law doesn't have place for revenge in a civilised society and rightly so, the need for revenge/retribution I suspect is quite innate. It's healthy to try to forgive but it's quite difficult, almost like you can't fool yourselves into thinking you aren't hungry.
Neither the_af nor I are saying that all the writing should be done without the authors being paid for it. We asserted, twice!, that professional authors and publishing industry are OK. What we say is that the published authors who earn a living by writing are not the only source of writing. If all the publishers, the whole industry, would go bankrupt tomorrow, the Web novels would still get new chapters, new fanfics would still get written, new essays would still be put on blogs, new comment threads would still appear, and so on.

Being paid for writing is great. It's just that the paid writing is not all writing - some people write simply to be read, without needing or wanting to be paid for it.

Writing code is different, because it's a means of self-expression only in small part.

Both usually. The auditor have a list of a thousand and they want to verify.

Not enough to say that you have a list of active devices, need to show them an inventory. Not enough to say there is authentication, need to show them that they can't access the homepage.

Hemp Oil Tincture no-1 Pills
To utilize the seed oil in its most flawless structure, it must be extricated from the hemp plant by a dissolvable. There are two fundamental strategies to do this. One is the warming technique, where the seeds are dried under warmth, at that point vanished utilizing heat, or warmed in a broiler.

Maybe it’s half true. I wanted to be in college, and everyone I met was happy to be there. However, there is some anger at the feeling that you HAVE to be there. There is a lot of cultural pressure to get a higher education. I also remember feeling like I had to decide the rest of my life by choosing a degree, and that really stressed me out. However, I still really wanted to go to college.

Yes, we tend to pay a lot to go to college, and yes, a lot of us feel like we must do it. A lot of choices factor into how much you pay - community college can reduce this, going to a lesser known school, etc. However, it’s an investment in yourself. For some of us, that investment works out really well. Others may struggle to get that awesome job after college.
YouTube is crowdsourced. That content wouldn't exist if we actually taught people to think for themselves and not just lap up whatever is thrown at them.
Seems like a great opportunity to entrench Google's and Facebook's power. A corollary of free market principles, whoever pays for the news decides which news outlet flourishes and which one fades into nonexistence, or, what the news outlet reports. News outlets have always been sensitive to advertisers and moneyed patrons because they make next to nothing from the readership.

All of this is to say that as Google and Facebook become a bigger share of the revenue of news outlets, the more sway they'll have over what those news outlets publish, whether they stand or fall, etc.
Nothing is a guarantee of a good life.

It seems like people think you should be able to just check a few boxes, then slot into a 9-5 and have everything taken care of for you for the rest of your life.

Well, it doesn't work like that. Even after college you're still going to have to plan and think and take action to make things happen for you. It's not just all going to fall into your lap because you took a few classes in your early 20s.
I usually recommend ppl to use `git push --force-with-lease` instead of using `git push --force` even if they are the only ones pushing to that remote branch.
So that is what is happening sometimes on my YT... I live in Sweden but I'm not Swedish (can understand it but prefer English when possible), don't even have my Google account or YouTube set to Swedish so I have no idea it's translating them for me. Location-based perhaps but that would be a bit stupid.
>Well you can't become a surgeon or a lawyer unless you switch a university track at some point.

"Can't" because those are the rules we've established. But both of those professions seem like they be perfect for apprenticeships (they were at one point in history). It's not like studying the literature isn't or can't be a part of apprenticeship curriculum.
In fact, the RISC-V V (Vector) extension supports vector "shapes", so you can take a f32x16 vector and make it a f32x4x4 4x4 matrix, and then multiplying it with another f32x4x4 vector will do a 4x4 * 4x4 matrix multiplication, in hardware. IIUC this shapes generalize to tensors, so you can use this hardware units to, e.g., implement DNNs, similar to nvidia's tensor cores.

We log extensively. Here are some of my thoughts it

- at least in C++, the requirement to be able to log from pretty much anywhere can lead to messy code that either passes a reference to your logger to all classes that might possibly need it, or you've got an extern global somewhere. Yuck.

- logging can enable laziness. Being able to log that something weird happened can be considered a sufficient substitute for proper testing.

- logs are only as useful as the info they contain. This can mean state needs to be passed around all over the place just so that it can all be eventually logged on one line (it saves your data team from having to do a 'join')

- if your logger doesn't support cycling log files it's useless. If something goes wrong you can easily fill a disk.
Off topic but I had the same issue. Did you change your Google payment profile? (which has nothing to do with all the profile addresses you can set in various places)

https://support.google.com/paymentscenter/answer/9028746?hl=...

Because you can't actually change your country on your Google payment profile. You need to create a new one and then switch the new one.

I had to do this to switch my US account to an EU account with the EU GDPR user consent options. Your Google account is tied to the payment profile country AFAIK.

>Is it really true that, in the US, many college students don't want to be there but go nonetheless, despite having to pay absurd amounts of money?

Judging by the number of people who don't show up to class or otherwise just "get by", it's absolutely true. People "go to college" because they're told it's their meal ticket into the middle class. This is the point of the article.

Ask the average person if they'd rather pay to have the paper degree and not have to attend any classes, or get the education for free but not receive any paper credentials. You'll have your answer.
If that's the case, I wonder if webcam sales would affect revenue for Logitech or another big manufacturer.
I wonder why there aren't better news search engine than google? A google search doesnt bring up any substantial project, and google news itself is pretty basic and biased and limited. I find myself often wondering "where could i read about <thing>", and feeling underwhelmed with google searches.

> and skip the months of complaining from the Liberal Party

It was clear the economic right faction of the Liberals wanted a mandate from the people so that they could push past the socially conservative faction.

They were being blocked for months by the left - because it benefited the greens and labor politically to position the Liberals as anti-LGBT.
Yeah. It Looks cool, some nice features. But splits with most of these features can be had for $150 or less, so I don't really see the appeal of spending 200 more without a commensurate doubling of functionality, ergonomics, etc.

Tool to Rewrite and Summarise Any Texts
The problem is that a lot of potentially viable content falls by default into the marginally-profitable category, where the small amount of utility they provide to the end-user is offset by the incessant user-monetization impulse.

A price floor splits these marginal works into three categories: those that become free, those that die off, those that become viable at high margins. This seems to be a pretty great outcome for consumers.
