> The devastation of a country.

Don't you think it's odd you have such a strong opinion on Brexit? Anyone who believes Brexit is an obvious disaster isn't paying attention or is extremely disconnected. It's not like it was a simple obvious decision so your confidence is fascinating to me. There are obvious pro and cons depending on largely on your class and immigration status.

My dad just got a pay rise thanks for shortages it HGV drivers, he isn't complaining. As someone who's moved up into the upper-middle class it means I don't have the liberty to work in other peoples' countries without their permission anymore, but I guess the fact that bothers me just exposes how privileged I am. Most people in my family can't even afford to go aboard on holiday.

Are there any political unions you would oppose out of interest? Could you envision a situation where the economic benefits of a political union may not be worth the risks/costs?
Your professor was at least partly correct. Evidence based medicine is the gold standard for selecting treatments. But the reality is that today we still lack clear evidence to apply in many cases, so providers have to fall back on educated guesses based on what they have empirically found to work. Much of this is tacit knowledge that can only be gained through direct experience.
In theory I like the idea of making better use of file descriptors other than stdin and stderr. It seems like a powerful feature of *nix that never really caught on, except with that one sysadmin at work who writes insane one-liners with fifteen pipes.

In practice, I find the syntax needlessly obtuse, and numbered file descriptors are rare enough in the real world that most casual observers will have no idea what's going on.

That has been a long and steady trajectory for Mozilla. Personally I think they're trying to create another walled garden for themselves and/or trying to make a buck while making sure they don't give stupid reason to Google for blocking their app from Play Store for random reason of the week. I hope its latter, because then Mozilla remains in slightly brighter light, but I'm not holding my breath for it anymore. They have been promising 'more extensions' on mobile for years now, and still neglect the one thing that actually sets their browser apart from mobile.
> unless you commit a crime

Right, because the police would never persecute someone who didn't commit a crime, is that right?

> This is the problem with assessing how valuable college is: you don't know how well off the person would've been if they had chosen not to go to college.

I think this is absolutely the key. If you just look at some of the figures given in [0], and do some simple math,
you find out that someone with a bachelor's degree makes just a hair more than $26k per year more than someone with only a high school diploma. Over the course of, say, 40 years working, that comes out to a hair over $1M difference in favor of the college grad. So, it would seem that even if a 4 year degree cost $200k (which, sadly, is not an insane estimate these days [1]), it still seems like a no-brainer.

But, that's as far as statistics can take us, I think, because, as you mentioned, we don't see what happens to people who choose not to go to college, but who could have successfully gotten a bachelor's degree. There's no literal way for us to ethically conduct that experiment.

If I were to speculate a bit, I might wonder if the answer lies in looking at children of college graduates and comparing those children who went to college vs those who didn't. I have no idea if such a study is available or not, unfortunately.

The other idea I have is that, although it pays off in the long run, maybe acquiring a significant amount of debt at a young age makes it harder to get by in the initial, post-college years harder. Considering the cost of housing and health care, this seems like a reasonable hypothesis, but I'd also like to see if there's research on that.

The only way to avoid having your IP logged is for there not to be an organization that can be forced to log it.

So long as a company exists in a world controlled by US/European finance or is in their borders, they can be compelled to log what they are told to.
You’re just infantilizing women by blaming every outcome on “society”. I fully believe women are capable of making their own decisions and there’s no “cabal of men” holding them back from unclogging toilets.
It’s hard to get good data broken when you’re looking into things like career level, etc. but when I go on the BLS salary page for my MSA I can see the following

HVAC Repair. It’s a pretty common trade out here. I have a number of family who’s done it at one point. There’s probably a pretty strong demand given how miserable I was when my AC died the other day. Annual median is $42,640

Insurance Claims Processors, which in the particular city I live in tends to be one of the big options for otherwise unskilled college graduates. Annual median: $43,570

Not that big of a difference, though I suppose you could argue the former has the slight advantage of not having as much educational debt burden, which probably exceeds that ~$1k difference.

However like the GP noted, a person in the latter position likely has better options late career.
1) It's a little more complicated than just pointing out that it's a private company. They enjoy protection from liability under Section 230 of the CDA as a platform, but in many ways are acting as publishers. Are they a publisher or platform, or both or neither depending on the circumstance? I'm not completely sure, but I do know they want to simultaneously have their cake and eat it too.

2) On the surface, it sounds great. But one problem with social media doing something like blocking/banning paid disinformation campaigns is you just have to take their word that this is what happened. Twitter or Facebook can go and ban 25 million accounts in the run-up to a future heated election. They can claim that they're deleting organized paid influencers or deleting Russian bots that are trying to subvert the election and the media will publish that explanation without a hint of proof. The reality is that there's no public proof of who has been deleted, what the evidence is against them, what algorithm or review process was used to label them a bot or paid influencer, what IP addresses were involved, and if there's any false positives. This gives them the power to just label any political opponent they want a Russian bot or organized disinformation and silence them without any pushback from media.
Yeah, many of the YouTube premium series felt overproduced. I wouldn't exactly describe modern YouTube channels as "home video" but it's certainly a different feel from the network TV shows many of the premium series tried to emulate.

There were a couple premium series that did work out pretty well though, in my opinion. The Slo Mo Guys had a bunch of episodes which were basically just their usual content, but with a higher budget and a team of people available to set up the scenes they were filming. Those videos were excellent.
"slow the spread down slightly to reduce impact on the healthcare system" is pretty important during these big waves.
Banning outdoor gatherings is probably overkill though, I believe the worst places still have maskless indoor activities.
Most of these platforms start off trying to be content neutral and end up adding more moderation as a result of how badly it ends up hurting them. There's only so many times advertisers are willing to have their brand shown next to child pornography (ie, reddit's former /r/jailbait) or hate speech.

If complete neutrality was an answer these companies would be doing that, since it's the cheapest option.

The whole clarification they wrote was "As a Swiss company, they must comply with Swiss law when it relates to a Swiss citizen."

So if you're not a swiss citizen, you've got nothing to worry about. The only thing they did different was notify the person they were being investigated and then began tracking. That's the major difference.

It's not like some random company can just skirt all laws globally for the sake of privacy.

It's about civil disobedience.

Some even believe that a country without a strong federal state would be better for the environment by killing a lot of incentives that the strong federal state provides to gas and oil companies.
Yes, that was the argument I remember reading. You put "system" stuff first, then /home if you did a separate partition for it, etc. Swap last because "hopefully you won't be swapping much anyway".

I also (vaguely) remember some people putting build partitions closer to the front.
There is a limit to that. North Korea does a lot of things that no government likes, but so far they are okay. There are a lot of bigger countries that have even more immunity to targeting.

Which is a genuine problem on some teams right? The most effective teams I've worked on had engineering a part of the product design process from the beginning. On the worst teams we received a "fully specced" ticket and no engineer had ever seen it.
Phasing changes in over time with proper education, training, and building out of supporting industry is not nearly the same as announcing a flag day when your farmers don't have warning, training, or access to the replacement goods.
A few anecdotes collected from social media combined with an interview doesn’t constitute a widespread trend.

Regardless: Rage quitting a bad job may feel good, but it almost never accomplishes anything positive. Bad employers see a rage quit episode not as an indictment of their management practices, but as confirmation that the employee was a bad apple whose opinions can be disregarded.

If you must escape a company ASAP for whatever reason, submitting a calm resignation with little or no notice is going to send a stronger message than performing one last childish act on the way out. Nobody likes losing a good, professional employee. But if your last act is immature and difficult, they will be glad you’re gone.
You can always import good soil sure. Go to a rich land place and dig it up. But it will slowly wash away in the rain.

Good soil needs lots of dead plant stuff. Bad soil is clay or rocks.

In the short term such a farm would indeed be more profitable, but in the long term? The "less profitable" farm would close shop and be replaced by a fertilizer farm... and then, as a net result, society is worse off.

This is why regulations (and to combat their evasion by other countries, anti-dumping tariffs) are needed.
Well, two ways. First, broadly speaking across the economy, a college graduate 2000 hours a year typically produces more GDP$ to the real economy than a non-college graduate. There are a lot of caveats to that statement, but broadly it's true and that's why people will refer to education as human capital. Second (and I believe this is the more controversial claim), as a society we really do benefit from intellectuals expert in history, literature and other liberal arts and from basic research, by which I mean scientific research which has no immediately forseeable practicable application.
It's my understanding that there are young English speaking party loyalists from affluent (relatively) families who troll western social media. These guys aren't doing PR so much as kicking up dust and defending/denying all CCP actions.

What is don't get about the AGI speculation is.. to me I can't really figure out how an AGI could exist on current computers. I can imagine AGI in robots more easily. On conventional computers I think AGI,or its servants would need to be distributed across multiple machines with either a central hub orchestrating them or some p2p system. But on some single devs machine, which is the Hollywood style, I have a hard time seeing it. Edit: and the medium for its impacting the world would be the internet. Shutting down the interconnectedness of our tech and infrastructure should perhaps pull the plug on the AGI. But the more interconnected our civ is via internet, a bit of omnipresent piece of software could resist being rooted out and could technically subvert human intentions

The libraries I mentioned can be loaded by invoking the use_module/1 predicate on the toplevel, here is the complete transcript that loads the SGML, HTTP and XPath libraries in Scryer Prolog:

?- use_module(library(sgml)).
true.
?- use_module(library(http/http_open)).
true.
?- use_module(library(xpath)).
true.

The second query also uses portray_clause/1 from library(format), which you can load with:

?- use_module(library(format)).
true.

After all these libraries are loaded, you can post the sample queries from above, and it should work.

There are also other ways to load these libraries: A very common way to load a library is to use the use_module/1 directive in Prolog source files. In that case, you would put for example the following 4 directives in a Prolog source file, say sample.pl:

:- use_module(library(sgml)).
:- use_module(library(http/http_open)).
:- use_module(library(xpath)).
:- use_module(library(format)).

And then run sample.pl with:

$ scryer-prolog sample.pl

You can then again post the goals from above on the toplevel, and it will work too.

Another way is to put these directives in your ~/.scryerrc configuration file, which is automatically consulted when Scryer Prolog starts. I recommend to do this for libraries you frequently need. Common candidates for this are for example library(dcgs), library(lists) and library(reif).

Personally, I start Scryer Prolog from within Emacs, and I have set up Emacs so that I can consult a buffer with Prolog code, and also post queries and interact with the Prolog toplevel from within Emacs.
For those who hold power? If so, I agree.
Take Apple for example, out of the 600+ jobs posted on their career website only 19 even mention students. And some of those are actual student jobs: student outreach, student recruiters. If they have a different pipeline for recruiting students I'm not aware of it. If new graduate positions are only recruited at campus job fairs that has a greater potential to be worse. FAANGs haven't been recruiting from majority minority schhols or HBCUs.

HN, like any community, has multiple members, but it also has a very clear and narrow ideological uniformity (SV-style techno-libertarianism). That is why it is generally pleasant, until e.g. someone tries to challenge the common myths. This is obvious to anyone who has been outside the bubble.

I think your comment, and the responses to it help advance my point: there are a bunch of narratives out there that are not wholly rooted in reality (or out of date in your case). These can have detrimental effects.

There are certainly black individuals who would pursue a career in tech, if not for the (perhaps earned) perception that tech is hostile towards black people. Things have changed, but the narrative hasn’t, and that is doing real damage.

I’m trying to say the same sort of thing applies to white men and college—just there being a perception of college campuses being hostile to them is going to prevent many of them from going. And people will be hurt by that, in one way or another.

My background is in adtech, which is a unique mix of massive scale, dynamic logic, strict latency requirements, and geographical distribution. I've built complete ad platforms by myself for 3 different companies now so I can confidently say that this is not a difficult scenario. It's a ready-heavy content site with very little interactivity or complexity to each page and can be made much simpler, faster and cheaper.

> "detail in depth how "

This thing seems to be little more than a very complex API and SPA sitting on top of Elasticsearch. These frontend/backend sites are almost always a poor choice compared to a simple server-side framework that just generates pages. ES itself is probably unnecessary depending on the requirements of their search (it doesn't seem to be actual full text indexing of the content but just the metadata). The security and observability also tends to be a problem of their own making and a symptom of too much complexity.
There's a podcast called "How To Save A Planet" that did an episode on this that I found rather enlightening:

https://gimletmedia.com/shows/howtosaveaplanet/76hmbge/soil-...

They focus on two farmers, one a small-scale farmer in NY who started with the vision of a sustainable farm, and a commodity farmer in Minnesota who was looking for ways to improve yield. The Minnesota couple are, like your example, not at all "tree-huggers;" they're just people who want to survive. And what they found is that they can get more crops, for less money, while also limiting their exposure to potentially harmful fertilizers and pesticides.

They see a lot of resistance from their neighbors, because conventional farm knowledge is so ingrained in their culture. Running a farm is tricky, and experimenting can be the difference between profit and losing your shirt. There's just not much will to risk losing the land that's been in a family for generations on a quest to find a better way.

I agree as well. I'm just speculating about OP's point.

Now you can get a pretty decent education from watching lots of videos and an education that commensurate with one that you'd plunk down thousands of dollars for at a university or college.

Especially in the era of COVID where they would have you watch videos anyways during a period of lockdown.

So glad I'm not a student right now. I'd feel so ripped off.
