I don't think so. Any drop in supply will only be temporary so long as the demand stays the same. Other colleges will expand. Colleges don't have a lot of incentive to keep prices low due to the ease of getting student loans and the prestige factor (people want a degree with a good name to get a better job).
> Users want more features in their web apps, and the standards/web browsers make it possible.

Well, more features in web apps isn't what I want; it is instead more and better features in the browser itself, such as:

- User stylesheets and user scripts.

- Ability to save and recall form data using local files.

- Ability to load animated GIF/PNG as videos.

- Request/response overriding (this can also be used to add the Do Not Track header).

- ARIA view (even for display on screen, not only for visually impaired).

- Better keyboard commands.

- Table of contents view (displaying the list of <h1>, <h2>, etc).

- Developer console (which I think newest versions of Chrome and Firefox already have, anyways).

I think he's right. A sale to Nvidia would be detrimental to ARM's current business model - now Nvidia may have other plans but the thought of that would certainly scare existing licensees even more.

The Observer proposed an interesting solution last weekend:

"The government could offer a foundational investment of, say, £3bn-£5bn and invite other investors — some industrial, some sovereign wealth funds, some commercial asset managers — to join it in a coalition to buy Arm and run it as an independent quoted company, serving the worldwide tech industry..."

I cannot imagine it will ever happen but I'd like to see the spec precisely defined in terms of core "axiomatic" functionality (JS, layout engine, core CSS rules), and peripheral functionality built on the core functionality.

The core functionality would have a precise (as possible) and extensive definition with an agreed test suite encoding the expected behaviour (as much as possible).

This would allow development of a shared implementation of the peripheral layer, while browser innovation could continue on the core functionality (JS and rendering performance, battery usage etc), and on innovations in the UI.
How is safari focusing on performance and privacy? AFAIK its the worst performing browser and easiest one to fingerprint.

Anybody who struggles to instinctively navigate social norms and behaviors will also struggle to instinctively navigate gendered norms and behaviors, simply because the two are inextricable.

Ah, I see ILang deals with the issue by… not having a name binding primitive, making you SKI-calculus your arguments into place. (Compare the piles of roll-swap-dup you get in varless forth dialects, though not as bad due to there being two directions args are passed in from.)

I suspect there is room here for an unprincipled "preceding word/pattern is defined by the following line/s" loose-binding operator, to restore skimability, and a separate inline destructuring let form that cannot leak out of lexical scope. Which I suppose would warrant lambdas - perhaps with ⍺ ⍺⍺ ⍺⍺⍺ to denote enclosing function input, rather than argument/operand/hyperand, though nonconcrete functions would stress the type system as is
What I Learned from Pair Programming (2014)
Wozniak didn’t do anything significant after Apple. Not meant to be a judgmental, once you almost die it kind of changes your priorities and just by founding Apple he has done more in his life than most.

Jobs on the other hand, cofounded Apple, Next, and Pixar. The leaders at Next basically took over at Apple and the leaders at Pixar basically took over Disney’s animation division and ushered in a new era of animation.

Jobs of course didn’t do it by himself (my whole point). But he had some type of talent with finding the right people and getting them to do their best work. Was that the RDF? I don’t know.
Your objections are all from imagined motivation (“dog whistle”) or from imagined consequences of my being right. These are both informal fallacies, and not legitimate forms of argumentation. Unless you believe that the current unprecedented epidemic of adolescent girls deciding that they are trans has an organic origin, somebody is convincing them of this. My objections to the study are logical objections. Since the only definition of a “trans” person is somebody who says that he is trans, research such as this can be looked at as being essentially circular.

EDIT (additions): Just for the record, I condemn any violence, or unkindness, toward trans people or anyone else. But those who are paying attention to the debates in this sphere will recognize this tactic: any questioning of currently fashionable “gender” ideas is met with the accusation that one’s speech will cause violence against trans people.

> if we'd treat schizophrenia the way we treat gender dysphoria, we'd all have to aknowledge the voices they hear and pretend we hear them too.

Transgender people have existed in some form for a long time, the medicalization of it only started in the late 19th + early 20th century.

The difference I see between the two is that there isn't a known 'fix' for gender dysphoria besides transition. I don't think any trans person would protest to never having to go through transition... but they definitely don't advocate for extermination of trans people either.

There are plausible biological causes for being transgender that are parallel but not equal to intersex issues.

When did I say that accomplishments don't matter? I worked in the author's sphere of influence at a previous previous company and witnessed them firsthand on a regular basis. I would agree that the corporate "fog-of-war" makes it easy for the accomplishments of very skilled people to disappear within the Googles and Facebooks of the world, but for certain people I imagine being away from the mouths of the outside world makes it worth being away from their eyes too. Popularity is just one of those things that helps me trust that something may exist even in cases where I can't personally see it. The crowd aren't always right, but I think their approval can often signify my need for a second or third look at something I've reflexively dismissed. Attitude is a tangential but separate detail that would be inappropriate for me to have opinions on, but I can at least say that if there is any it is deserved :)

Well, what did you mean by “just as smart”?? Most working class men and women are in fact fairly conscientious. The institutions you mentioned do select for higher IQ. Are you claiming that software development does not require a higher IQ than a typical non-professional job? There’s a lot of psychological research that suggests otherwise.

> act, many of my FAANG co-workers were not elites.

By any reasonable definition, anyone working as a software developer in a FAANG is an elite. Most of you are in the top 1% income-wise. Most of you share the same cultural values, and live in the same isolated environment (note: I’m generalizing - that may not apply to you personally).

> this is spoken like someone that's never worked in social services and is used to the "social niceties" that something like an Ivy-league education or a cozy tech job offers

Are you talking about me here, or the OP? If me, it’s particularly amusing. I went to a state school, never worked for a FAANG, and have actually worked in social services (for a charity, for 2 years). I have a very different view of working class work ethic than you do. Most people work hard.

By the way, have you worked in the public sector, or in social services?

> ...contentious issue...

No, it’s really not a contentious issue. The title of the article you referenced is misleading, if you read the whole article. Heckman doesn’t claim that social mobility is going up. He just believes that the data isn’t as bad as Chetty claims it is. The vast majority of research in this area shows declining social mobility. Some of it suggests the long decline in mobility may be leveling off. None I’m aware of suggest it’s rising.

Read Piketty, Chetty, and Milanovic. The data is clear. In the US, social mobility has been dropping for decades, and income/wealth inequality rising. For me personally, coming from small town USA, and in my own large extended family, I have significant anecdotal evidence to back this up.
> observed to a greater extent with trans men

I wonder if that's a result of autism being under-diagnosed in women (and that under-diagnosis carrying over to trans women).

> "If we'd treat schizophrenia the way we treat gender dysphoria, we'd all have to acknowledge the voices they hear and pretend we hear them too."

This is easy to dismiss by pointing to evidence based treatment practices. The treatment which is most effective at reducing suicide rates among people experiencing gender dysphoria is gender affirming care [0]. I doubt it is the case that the treatment that is most effective at helping folks experiencing schizophrenia is "acknowledging the voices" (not to mention as sibling commenters have that this is a gross caricature of schizophrenia in the first place).

It's extremely strange to me that we pretend like gender affirming care is "everybody pretending" and not a well studied and evidence based set of treatments that has been shown to be effective.

I worked my first couple years of college as a clerk at the main campus library. I remember the librarian assigned to the Political Science department among others explaining that our circulation software had been deliberately configured to no longer store students' borrowing history after the PATRIOT Act was passed.

My city's public library runs the same software and now it has a My Reading History feature which in my city's implementation is disabled by default. If you log in to your library account online and it doesn't display your borrowing history you can have reasonable confidence your library isn't storing it, and would only be actively forwarding it to the feds if they had a warrant or NSL, etc.

It's disappointing but not surprising that the same stalwart approach to privacy isn't being enforced on the digital options. Librarians who care like the aforementioned one likely pushed back only to be told it was a necessary evil of the DRM that is "required" to make this possible, and if they don't like it there are still physical books.

But today we have alternatives like controlled digital lending that keeps the data in libraries' hands. If privacy-respecting digital options are important to you, you should definitely let your library know!

"nVidia's history of not playing nicely with others": can you elaborate or mention an example? That aspect has escaped me thus far.
Sorry if I was unclear. I did not mean to imply any specific motivation of yours. That being said, the example you used is a dog whistle commonly used by folks whose motivations I have no problem imagining, and it is used to perpetrate violence towards trans people.

Furthermore, as I feel quite certain that, given your lack of evidence, you are not right, the consequences I "imagine" are not stemming from you being right or wrong but from folks willing to do violence against trans folks believing you are right and using that believe to justify their violence.

If you believe that the so-called epidemic of adolescents coming out as trans has an in-organic origin you're welcome to present the evidence of that. I stand by my statement that there is none.

> I have often heard it in a sense of "should not be catered to but rather given medical help".

The thing i worry about is that folks that go through all of the physical and emotional (and financial) stress of transitioning only to find that it doesn’t soothe the pain are likely to perceive a social pressure to keep a lid on it.

The current trend of acceptance is obviously good but it seems likely our approach to treatment will evolve over time.
Since we are at the topic of microscopes, here's the best pocket microscope I know of: Carson MicrcoBrite Plus. It has magnification 60-120x [1]. The same manufacturer makes a few more models. I personally bought this model and 3 others, some of them multiple times (they make for nice presents):20-60x, 60-75x, 60-120x (this one), and 100-250x. I also bought some other pocket microscopes from other manufacturers, Carson leaves them in the dust. And among Carsons, this one is in my opinion the best. I am not affiliated with them in any way, I'm simply a happy customer.

Now, I'd like to make the jump to a higher magnification microscope, like 1000x, but they start being expensive, and you can't just use the strategy "buy and throw if you don't like" with them. If anyone from the HN crowd has any recommendations, that would be much appreciated.

Seems like alarmist FUD to me. While I agree that having Arm owned by any one of its major customers creates some potential conflicts of interests, I think the notion that NVIDIA or any other company would start to drive licensees away with draconian terms/costs with some poor business planning pretty silly.

The more interesting question to me is what would any single (major customer of Arm) company gain from owning Arm? For instance, if NVIDIA wants to be competitive in data center CPUs (which would put them at equal footing with AMD and Intel, not more monopolistic), why couldn’t they go the Apple approach with a perpetual license and design it entirely custom (or not) as they see fit? (AFAIK they already design custom mobile CPUs.)

What do you gain by buying out an expensive, large licensing company that essentially makes no money that leaves you in a weird position with various rivals? Doesn’t quite click for me.
