Mostly because the media discussion around tuition fees in the US is completely toxic and focuses on cases like students who have self-funded taught masters programs at elite-level private institutions.
The negative impact of zoning requirements don't negate the negative impact of building codes, they just add more fuel to the fire. However zoning requirements are far less egregious; you wouldn't put a daycare next to a massive toxic waste handling plant. Comparing that to me building a tin shack isn't even in the same ballpark, and I think pretty disingenuous.

>Building codes typically cover things like fire protection, means of egress, ventilation, sanitary plumbing requirements, etc.

Yes these things are all should be tossed out. If I'm a 60 pound midget I don't need the same means of egress as you; if I haul in water I may not need plumbing at all and maybe I only clean out the cat litter box with the water that is plumbed in . Maybe I don't cook inside the house; that reduces the risk of fire by half so maybe my risk of fire looks as good or better than my up to code neighbor who has a standard up to code house but cooks with grease all day, falls asleep with a cigarette in their mouth, and leaves their lighters out for their toddler to play with. These are all neat requirements "in the name of safety" that could of course save lives, but at the expense of massive loss of life for people working years (lost life) and possible homelessness to avoid the insane requirements. If my option is to absolutely slave away for 7 years to buy a house to code, or build my own shack in one year, then the opportunity cost is about 1/12th of a life lost to build the house. Is there a 1/12 chance somebody is gonna die in my tin shack? Remember I'm still criminally negligible if they do, there isn't some gotcha that you get to do something that kills someone else because the code doesn't mention it.

Outhouses and portajohns are what appear when the alternative is public urination/defecation. If the poor are zoned and coded out of a home, they're going to be urinating and deficating in your park rather than in an outhouse, sound better? Visit San Francisco to see the excellent results! By the way, the city has installed long term portajohns in a number of high density cities. I've seen them in Minneapolis and Seattle, as well as absolutely permanent ones in a certain city in Ohio.
I love my jailbroken Kindle Paperwhite with KOreader on it. Supports epubs without any issues.
They say in Austria you don't even apply. You just turn up at any university and everyone is accepted. If you can't pass the exams you get washed out quite quickly though.
It doesn't directly expose anything more or less, every app you have access to by default is Garmin controlled (except perhaps iOverlander). There's no play store or services, as far as I can tell. You can sideload whatever you want though.

Seems like people think so, but I would say no, it's just a platform that runs VMs. It doesn't really care about the data running through services other than making sure it makes it to the destination. That being said, it's quickly becoming easier to plug and play traditional message busses or queuing systems by deploying a container to it. So it helps simplify the addition of some kind of glue system.
There was a great bit of free software that I had downloaded a bunch of years ago, LibraryDB, which allowed you to set up your own software. If memory serves, you could hook up a laser scanner and scan the barcode, which would make things pretty easy for you, but I can't seem to find the software online anymore.

But to be honest, I've always found cataloging and data entry to be a lot of fun, and there's something meditative about entering a book's title, date, author, ISBN, etc. into a system. I found that it helped me figure out what I have and think about why I'm keeping some books. It also led to some neat discoveries about certain books. I found a couple that had been signed that I'd never realized had been signed!

> Why leave out private universities I wonder?

Because it's not really a well thought out article. It looks more geared towards low value / low effort content that can be shared easily to make controversial (and therefore spread more) social media posts.
The latest software update is a huge step back in terms of UX. There's way more whitespace, it takes more taps to change commonly changed settings (super annoying given eink latencies), and clearly no one who worked on it was left handed.
The prestigious colleges offer generous subsidies so most that cannot afford $60k effectively have much lower tuition.

The non prestigious private universities whose lack of value is not yet known among its customers are the ones that cause problems for kids getting stuck with $60k+ per year annual costs.
It's not a double standard, it's one standard for a corporation and a different standard for a labor union, because those are different types of organizations.
This comment made me realise how little software I actually buy. My most recent software purchase was a password manager subscription, a year ago. Otherwise I use the free version of tools and the G Suite.
Whenever I go to a site like product hunt, I always wonder who buys it. I have to guess its mostly a b2b market.
You can add exclusions for the hosts in your local colliding subnet with something like:

Host 10.1.0.*
ProxyJump jumpbox-10.1.0.x !host hosta,hostb.example.org,hostc,10.1.0.23
The answer is twofold:

- The PS4 controller's range is VERY limited, even playing crouched on the sofa with your legs interrupting LOS between the console and the controller can cause connection issues.

- The Switch's tiny split controllers (the JoyCons, though there is also a traditionally-shaped Pro Controller) have very good reception, and being small and split means your arms can be in different positions.

I sometimes play lying on the bed with the console on a stand in front of me, and my arms under the sheets, when it's cold, for example. It's a tiny thing but is mighty convenient when you feel like it.
You're presenting a false choice between OK and not-OK. In reality it's a spectrum.

I am less concerned about the prospect of South Korea having nukes than North Korea if we are forced to choose. And I am less concerned about Israel having nukes than Iran, given the genocidal intentions the latter has expressed combined with the fact it's a theocratic dictatorship make it less than guaranteed that the MAD doctrine would apply.

I'd much, much, much prefer for Israel to also not have nukes, but those two situations aren't equally as bad.
Another happy user of Librarything here. It provides a beautiful public-facing catalog[0] if you want in addition to the full[1] one.

Most importantly for me, Librarything lets you add books that do not have an ISBN, unlike every one of their competitors I've tried. Nearly 20% of my books are too old to have an ISBN, so that's pretty important to me.

I guess I'll just have to concede not "getting it" - as a B2B buyer anyway.
I don't think 8 characters was ever an official standard, just a de facto one. The problem is that it's too large for most modern use cases.

These days I find myself using smart editors that combine auto-indenting with tab-to-space conversion. You won't find a tab character in any of my files.
I'm not sure if it's related, but I've seen discussions of modern ML methods (in particular those trained using stochastic algorithms...maybe also models with low float precision...?) approximating Bayesian methods. The way I've imagined it is that the training path, by virtue of its stochasticity, resembles MCMC sampling and therefore tends to end up in regions of high posterior volume (the "typical set"), rather than high posterior density. I could see this resulting in a fit with parameters closer to their conditional expectations (in the Bayesian sense), which should be more generalizable to new data, hence fewer issues with overfitting.

A consequence of this would be that if somehow a method were able to successfully find the _global_ loss-function minimum on the training data, it would perform worse on the the test set. Fortunately, our optimization methods _don't_ find the global minimum at all.

Can anybody point me to literature on this idea? I don't know if my uninformed interpretation is actually close to what experts are thinking.
It works much the same her in Norway too.
My theory is that it's easier for a company to lose customers, than it is to gain customers, with product updates.

Its overall dimensions are 0.3" taller and 0.3" wider than the current Paperwhite. At that size it will no longer fit in my pockets (my current one just barely fit), and thus will no longer be convenient to use, meaning it's worthless to me.

I never used my Paperwhite and though, "Gee, I wish the screen was bigger." I guess I'm not their target audience. I like to read wherever I go, and that means being able to take my Kindle wherever I go.

I wish Amazon kept it small, I need a new eReader and was holding out for Amazon's update, but now I am going to have to look elsewhere.
If I remember there was also the fact they didn't bothered with the usual emergency meetings regarding the atomic bombs because the damage was less than other things USA did to Japan (like firebombing of Tokyo), but they started to have meetings to plan the surrender when news came that Soviets were sending soldiers toward Japan.

According to an ethnic japanese teacher of mine, the Japanese remembered very well how badly it went for them when they tried to invade Mongolia and lost to URSS, and they were more afraid of post-war occupation by URSS than by USA, thus why the surrender became more accepted.
I would argue it's pretty naive to assume the positions of people internal to an organization such as the NSA. The NSA, just like the D.o.D., and the greater government employs people from all walks of life. They have representation of almost all major religions, atheists, democrats, republicans, libertarians, etc. It's no less diverse than other offices. I would also argue that the number of college educated to include PHD's is astronomical.

Plenty of critical thinking happens to avoid situations. In this case, a service member that probably made 50k all in, was given a juicy contracting offer above the local market rate for the time (though for good operators, $200k local wasn't unheard of at the time). He saw the money, went to Dubai.

Everyone in the agency knew of this contract, almost everyone said the same thing.. Screw that. A few took it, cashed in for a year or two, then left.

The fringe number of people that took this contract are far fewer than the vast number that said no. I know I said no, and about a dozen others that said the same. On the same shoe I knew two that did, most didn't last over a year.
For anyone unfamiliar, Google also bought another building in Manhattan for $2.4B five years ago.[0] Seems to have worked out for them so far. I would caution against reading too much into this move.

Edit: updated to clarify this was some building in Manhattan. My original post was confused with another purchase (probably their purchase of the Port Authority building).

Why is Germany singled out in the title?
The need for gasoline in the US is by design and Denmark does not force you to own a car like in the US. Also, US gasoline is heavily subsidized so I guess you should count that as a tax break as well for the US scenario which makes the entire comparison even less normal.
Lol I like your unvarnished criticism embedded in encomia. But I share it...as soon as I started thinking...I can use it in the bathtub...and with my OverDrive account?? I want one. I started reading real books much more frequently this year (my #1 childhood pastime) after yearssss of basically only "reading" audiobooks besides books for grad school. So maybe I want one. Hardware experience sounds annoying AF, but that's nothing a shitty/lazy Linux user can't handle, right? And as others have said...a natural deterrent from doing anything but reading, woot.
Why 2024 Will Be Like Nineteen Eighty-Four
Using Tailwind alongside anything is pretty simple. It just generates stylesheets for you based on what you use. All you need to do is set up the build (so that it knows which style rules to include and which to purge) and then start using Tailwind classes in your markup.

As for “best practices”, I’d say there’s not many problems you’ll run into using something like Tailwind. Any configuration improvements you make probably won’t break anything, but you should still read the docs before you get started.
Oh, and I enjoyed reading this primer on the Double Descent Phenomenon for anybody, like me, who hadn't heard of it before: https://openai.com/blog/deep-double-descent/
Water bottles are much cheaper than batteries.

For example, suppose that after a natural disaster some people are left without water and without power. It makes perfect sense to load some water bottles into a truck and drive over there to help them, but it would be very impractical to load a truck with enough batteries to make even a tiny bit of difference.

Why is a government more appropriate to handle this sort of situation than the parties directly involved in it?

These are the two groups that are directly impacted by decisions related to the wages and benefits. The only way you get closer to the source is by replacing "union" with "employee," but the reasons that unions exist in the first place is because of the sheer power that employers have over individual employees. As it is, the Danish government already granted people to form groups to exercise their collective rights.
this is fascinating. while trump was president, all the leftards opposed getting the trump vax, as soon as the biden get installed and takes credit, the vax is pushed to the population with mandates on top.

then of course, the issue becomes heavily politicized, and any deviation from leftard established course of action is an insurrection, worst than 9/11.

the authors of whatever page on the internet are NOT your doctor, the author of this article is also NOT your doctor, the people pushing qtard crap are NOT you doctor, the people on facebook writing stupid comments are NOT your doctor.

My first introduction to the n-Queens problem was the game The 7th Guest. One of the mini-games was placing eight queens on the board, but they didn't tell you what you had to do. They just gave you a board and eight queens to place. As you placed one, any others that you had placed that were now in danger would disappear. Eventually you figured out that you had to get all eight on there.

My friend and I spent about an hour trying to figure it out when we were 16 or so. He's a mathematician studying elliptic curves now.
Peak usability was when chrome started hiding zoom buttons for PDFs. I remember at one point to increase the size of a pdf there was no visual indication at all. You had to stumble upon the buttons on the bottom

Apps like QRBot [1] have the ability to scan ISBNs (and barcodes generally), and have a "history" feature that keeps track of what you've scanned and lets you export (to CSV, among others). The app is free on both iPhone and Android (there is a paid version, don't know what extras it has or if it's just ad-free), but may want to verify how much history gets stored before you go scan-crazy.

From a US perspective (may apply elsewhere), for books published relatively recently (within the last ~20 years or so), the ISBN is often part of the barcode on the back of the book (ISBN-13s (the updated standard) start with 978, so this is a good clue that the barcode is an ISBN). For a period of time prior to that (and perhaps still applicable to Mass Market Paperbacks), there is a barcode on the back that is NOT an ISBN, but there is an ISBN barcode on the inside front cover. I've not discovered any systematic way to pull an ISBN out of a non-ISBN barcode (though I haven't dug too far -- my collection hasn't reached 4 digits yet and I've been happy to type when scanning wasn't an option).

Once you have the ISBNs, I like to query against the Open Library API [2], which is a part of the Internet Archive. The information in there is fairly robust, if inconsistent (the capitalization of titles is sometimes as printed on the title page, sometimes Library of Congress format, other minor things). They have a lot of data points available, such as cross-referenced IDs with Goodreads and LibraryThing, but again, this is community-supported data, so YMMV as to completeness or accuracy.

Another note -- many books have separate ISBNs for hardcover editions, trade paperback editions, mass market editions, eBooks, etc (and sometimes don't have an ISBN at all for things like Book of the Month Club editions). I don't know if this is a requirement, or a luxury that big publishers have, but it is something I've noticed (you'll sometimes see multiple ISBNs listed on the copyright page, along with their formats -- also you may see related editions on Indiebound [3], along with their ISBNs). A cursory glance at Open Library doesn't seem to have a data point distinction for this (which is unfortunate), so you may still have to note this, but theoretically it may be possible to get this information from the ISBN directly at some point.

Only homeowners pay property taxes.

Depending on your income and where you live, saving 50% is totally doable. And since you’re into fanatical scenarios where home prices go up 50-70%, you should also apply the appreciation of the stock market to your savings (usually double or triple real estate).
Not sure if that is the case for every institute / subject in Austria, there are entrance exams for medicine in Vienna, as far as I know.

But for some universities and some subjects that is also true for Germany.

Switching to an Experimentation Mindset and Plus/Delta Exercise
One thing I noted after using a Kindle for the first time (about 10 years ago) is that I was reading without a constant physical sense of how far I was through the book, to the point that the ending almost caught me off-guard. It was certainly an interesting experience, I'm still undecided as to whether it's a pro or a con.
When it comes to surveillance companies developing software, I am a Luddite by default. They can't help but incorporate biases that destroy end user autonomy, because they're only concerned about advancing their own perspective. In general, I don't view "security" under the wing of a company as a goal worth striving for, because companies are the long-term attackers we need to worry about!

If it was guaranteed that say FIDO would stop sites demanding phone numbers to do snake oil "2FA", then I'd be fully supportive. But from what I've witnessed surveillace companies won't take steps that don't benefit them - why would they ever stop demanding phone numbers now that they can? And so whatever it turns out being, I can only imagine that "passwordless" will be similarly abused ("never let a good crisis go to waste"). At the very least it will create another configuration speed bump that interrupts workflows based around trying to compartmentalize the surveillance industry (eg I only run web browsers in VMs).

If you really want to drive adoption of FIDO, then instead of pushing hardware tokens (and corresponding heavyweight process), Mozilla should create a software FIDO key within the browser. That is something that I can see evolving features that help users rather than restrict them. It would then be up to an end user whether to use a hardware token in place of that, iff they determine that a given account is that important.
Well, you only need to use Node now if you want a single language (+ optionally Next, which runs on node/express and will make your UI development much smoother if it's anything beyond super basic).

I think something similar happened with the Carrero Blanco assassination by the ETA in Spain. They cased him, rented an apartment and then did their thing.

Yeah the downside being that the universities are so crowded that they are very competitive.

An educated populace without debt serfs is more important though.

First of all, tuition is only one thing you need to pay for alongside many other things.

Second, $9k is the average for an in-state public college. It is much higher for out of state public, or private institutions.

In fairness to Apple, that’s not fair at all.

I hope right to repair keeps gaining traction. If I need to buy a laptop any time soon it’s going to be a Framework. I replaced a DIMM in my current laptop (ThinkPad) and would have been pretty upset if I had to throw it away because of soldered RAM.

My fear with authorized repair programs as the only option is the risk of changing what’s considered fact. After a (people) generation where all training and education says “this is impossible,” people will believe it. The manufacturers get to dictate the new reality with no pushback from knowledgeable opponents because those opponents won’t exist anymore.

I’ve personally fixed many vehicle problems, a hot tub, a stove, a dishwasher, a fridge, a furnace, etc.. I’m 100% positive the manufacturers are lying about the complexity of everything and confident in saying that a lot of the complexity is intentionally engineered to be complex.

People want to fix their own stuff and they’ll try no matter what. The manufacturers like to tout the risks of DIY repair, but the biggest risk, by far IMO, is a lack of official schematics and docs. The manufacturers are literally creating the risk by withholding repair resources and forcing everyone to trust random internet strangers.
