Bringing value to the university does not really make sense as a concept.

A university is fundamentally a community of scholars. The services the wider society expects from the community vary from generation to generation, but some things remain constant. The university as an organization does not have any goals apart from survival and prestige. It's the least important part of the university. The assumption is that the scholars deal with such highly specialized matters that generalist administrators have no competence in setting the actual goals.

Universities educate a lot of people these days, because the society believes that learning specialized topics from scholars and researchers is more prestigious than learning them from teachers or industry professionals. The society also gives plenty of research funding to the scholars, even though it's questionable whether the results actually benefit the society providing the funds, especially in smaller countries. It's just that you need research to have a community of scholars these days, and such communities tend to generate a lot of activity around them, with clear cultural and economic benefits in the long term.

Whether a person is underpaid or whether their salary is competitive does not depend on the job they do but on the other jobs they could do. If you want to hire a person who could make $500k somewhere else, the competitive salary is $500k. If you can't pay that (maybe the job only creates $300k of value), you have to offer something else if you want to hire them. Universities have traditionally offered stable positions in a community of independent professionals.
“How to get seen as a crank”
This is nonsense. In this context, safety is a term whose meaning is implied by Rust's design, i.e. it refers to code that's not unsafe.

This doesn't translate to much of anything in the world outside of Rust, and it boggles my mind that so many HN comments use it as a mere buzz word, thus devaluing it.

Under-paid developers with decent skills are so rare and precious, I can get $30k a head poaching them. I'll split the fee two ways if you want to let me in on your secret stockpile ;)
You sound very sure of yourself on that, but I can't imagine why. The US elected a reality TV star and inspiration for 80s movie villains a while back, Ukraine is currently run by a comedian. People are apparently paying large sums of money for cryptographic nonsense. Pretty much everyone is trying really hard to pretend that climate change isn't a big deal after spending decades pretending it didn't exist so that they wouldn't (and don't) have to change their lifestyles at all...

I could go on. It's remarkably easy to go on.

Point being, you may feel better by insisting that it's just 'cheap cynicism', but I remain unconvinced. "corporate VR work rooms and VR school classrooms with billboards in the background" seems like a frighteningly real possibility from where I'm sitting; I watch people spend their lives staring down at a rectangle designed to shove ads in their face all day because "it's the best way to keep in touch".

There is no reason for it to be a web service. Why should I pay for their cloud when I already have access to storage on three clouds, two of which they used to support, but have now removed from their software, just so they can force me to pay them every month? Oh man, it makes me mad.
This would be a great answer in my book, it shows advanced knowledge and the willingness to voice and objectively justify your opinion. I would openly say so, but insist on the coding just to see you pop a vein.
> I think this should definitely be an area of discussion and awareness-raising on the part of developers.

It is. There is an unofficial `cargo geiger` tool that will alert you to these issues.
This is the ISP that I’m using, and they are insanely great, imho. I especially like that you get a static IPv6 /28 for free, something that has finally made me learn IPv6 in depth.

Still only on 1 Gb/s fiber though, because I havent found any router that is 10 or 25 Gbps that I’d really like to have at home. Are there any good consumer-grade 10 or 25 gbps routers?

Also, what is up with all computers _still_ having 1 gbps ethernet ports? It’s been the standard forever, feels like. Why arent there more computers with 10 GbE as standard?
Why is this confusing? The trade-off is between small ads mixed in with messages in the same area, or bigger ads in a separate area, not taking up vertical space.

Like, it is surprising they decided to make that an option. Nobody adds options these days. But it should not be surprising that some people would prefer different options. If I had to guess, I'd assume the big ads version is the old behavior and the small one is what they are migrating to for consistency between mobile and web (or higher revenue).
The differentiator seems to be the "ads within the mailbox". It looks like a leading question of sorts designed to make the user more accepting of ads being injected into and intermixed with their list of emails.

Hrm, are you sure about that?

I think I'd generally prefer to see each article as it looked when it was posted to HN, at least by default.

I am confident that an fair actuarial assessment of what additional premium I'd owe would be negative dollars. I can confidently state that because I have no comorbidities and have already encountered the disease.

The mere act of having to ask for a licence already has a chilling effect, and the legal uncertainty just makes it worse.

For example, if Google ever gets into a patent war with Microsoft, would their 'free' licence be revoked? Does that mean the moment they'd use this coding they risk having their own patent portofolio be unenforceable? If so, they would have an interest in not using the technology from the 'free' licence, and software would be set back.
Sure, but first version of Windows came out 37 years ago...

One of the replies has the most plausible reason for this really weird prompt: They want to appear to be giving you the choice to not have inline ads, but the inline ads are more profitable.
Civil Forfeiture can cover anything including a house. That's one of the very legitimate criticisms of it.

In this story, money was taken and they had to sell their house to cover legal and living expenses.

If you freeze assets the same thing can, and commonly does, happen. Civil Forfeiture is definitely awful, but so is freezing someones assets is my point.
> At a certain point it's a parent's duty to limit destructive addictions. And these social media networks and games are made to be extremely addictive, companies spend billions of dollars on this goal.

Yes, I agree. I actually typed out a bit about my own experience with playing Gameboy at 10 and comparing it to drinking and partying at 21, but I didn't end up appending it to my comment.

It's one of those things that parents don't get--modern stuff (video games, social media) is like heroin for kids. You can't just give them "an hour of heroin time" per week and then expect them to think about anything else for the periods of time you suspend them from it.

When I was younger, I could think about playing Donkey Kong Country for literal days at a time. I'd imagine levels in my head, draw pictures, stare at old video game ads, hum the music to myself, and once I made a cardboard Gameboy and pretended to play it to scratch the itch. My life was measured as blocks of time in between playing DKC. My parents didn't get how single-minded I was and thought that by "restricting it" they could redirect my attention to other, more wholesome things. Impossible. I am so thankful I didn't have unlimited internet access or Fortnite when I was younger.

Not really.

The new thing is disclosing only CO salaries or asterisking that the published salary is for CO residents only.
Are you arguing about the impossibility of getting to financial independence, or the fact that this young 21yo I-want-everything-but-have-done-nothing-beside-highschool person should not pursue a full time employment because it is not “meaningful” for them and as such it would lead to burnout?

To me the fairy tale here is that this person can think about doing meaningful work without having achieved significant experience in anything and without a financial safety net. My suggestion was a practical solution, which of course comes at a cost, to fix both issues and set them up for entrepreneurship in a few years.

Would you say the concept of patents is inherently bad, or the current patent system?

Without some protection for original research being published, genuine inventors are forced to keep their ideas secret and/or find other ways to protect them.
How many things have you developed after spending unkown amount of time? You don't feel you're entitled to ensure you are credited with that work and allowed to earn from that work?

As I've stated elsewhere in this thread, you don't have to be a dick about owning the patent. It's your patent, and you can do with it what you want. There are patent pools that are managed to ensure they can't be used for evil that you can donate your patent to if you can't afford the time to manage it.

In the first scenario, the repeat offender is clearly the tagger.

But to address your valid question, the scheme shifts the costs to the scooter provider who would likely then impose costs on the scooter polluter. Although they may instead choose to impose costs on all their customers to subsidize the offender.

But it is a very clumsy scheme with many flaws, so probably not a great model upon which to iterate.

Your peers aren’t sympathetic to crime at all. A 2014 sentencing project report found that supermajorities of people (including both white and Black people, by the way) believe that the criminal justice system is “not harsh enough.”
With a lot of the "WinRT walls" torn down and WinUI controls available "out of the box" in WPF today (.NET 5+), WPF is almost a best of both worlds providing both the access to "better-loved more recommended" solutions and having a somewhat contiguous path back to a strong legacy of older code (modulo what you think of the .NET Framework 4.x to .NET 5+ hump; it's not quite a "just rebuild and it'll work", but it's also not as bad as some developers imagine it would be).

At this point, right now if you are looking to build a Windows 11-targeted WinUI "green field" project the current green path (and almost the only currently supported path) is to start with a WPF application in .NET 6 and pull in WinUI controls.

Neurosymbolic AI: The 3rd Wave (2020)
A lot of the reasons companies do redesigns is strategic. When a company first gets successful, it builds for the tastes, preferences, and needs of the userbase at that time. And as it gets more successful, it progressively micro-optimizes for those tastes, so eventually the company and the users that made it successful are tightly intertwined.

For a company to grow, it needs to attract new users. And tastes change, often surprisingly quickly. What was hot for new users in the early 2000s looks incredibly dated now - just check out old.reddit.com or search for [google in 1998] for examples. As someone entering my 40s who was in college or just out of it at the time, those UIs fill me with nostalgia. But someone who's in college now would be like "What is this shit?"

As a side note, this is why HNers are generally terrible at predicting new product trends now, and tend to poo-poo a lot of things that are gaining remarkable traction. Most of us are in our 30s and 40s by now, a time when our habits are basically set and we have neither the time, energy, or social networks to tap into the cultural zeitgeist. To really get a sense of what captures peoples' energy, you need to be one of the people whose energy is captured (or at least watch them closely), which requires the lack of cynicism and judgment that comes with experience.
I think it's making it hard for some companies to hire. I don't live in Colorado, but when people reach out to me for roles and they say anywhere but Colorado they get my blanket response-

> Sorry, I have a rule against companies that refuse to hire in Colorado. I feel that sharing a salary band is something that most honest companies are willing to do upfront, and if a company finds sharing that information so reputation damaging that they'll refuse to work with people from an entire state then the odds are their salary bands are low and their culture is not worker friendly.

"Torture" is one of many words that, when people discuss it, they are speaking subjectively by default. It's totally reasonable to do - there is nothing wrong with having an opinion that somebody did something that does not meet some legal definition of the word, unless you are saying it in court. There are certainly words that are closer to the objective legal side of things by default in conversation ("copyright infringement"), but in general, using a word non-legally does not necessitate using it dishonestly, as you are implying ("to get an emotional response"). The legal argument is perfectly reasonable one to talk about, but it would be unreasonable not to recognize that both arguments are perfectly valid and interesting, despite potentially having opposite conclusions.

Sorry, that was a long way of saying that legal != moral.
Seriously. I don't understand why people put up with this shit.

It's the first case I've seen where Reader View shows incomplete content, and I use it almost daily because it makes long reads very comfortable. It might be that Reader View sucks, but I'm more inclined to blame Vanity Fair in this case.
25 Gbit sounds nice, but even my 1 Gbit line is mostly wasted. I use a Raspberry Pi as my torrent box which seems to cap out at 7 MB/sec write speed. Even Steam tends to only download at 30-50 MB/sec most of the time.

People tend to grossly overestimate how much bandwidth they need, especially non-technical people. Even a 100 Mbit connection is more than capable of letting a family of five all stream Netflix at the same time, but that won't stop Xfinity from up-selling them to a 300 Mbit plan.
I am pretty sure my diet stayed pretty tight, as I monitor my caloric intake using my smartphone and it remained pretty consistent. Obviously this could be skewed for other reasons so it's not gospel.

The "much" is carrying a lot of weight, so to speak, in your comment. As a reference I went from running ~25 miles a week to just walking a fraction of that as I've recovered. I did keep up my other non-cardio calisthenics throughout, though.

Some napkin math suggests I was over my calorie target by just shy of 300 calories per day over the course of this time period.

I mean the essence of the problem comes down to people management. If you mean the pure technical role, then yes that's what I am referring to which has far less positions. And usually your competition would be the elites. Because many ICs try to avoid people management.

I am not talking about whether there is a such a path for ICs. I am talking about the numbers problem. The unfortunate truth is that there are far more positions involves people management. Engineering manager is good example because ICs can wield their technical skills. But still, this roles still requires you to do substantial people management.
A company that gets a solid junior and promotes them on reasonable timelines (say once every 2 years) can easily get a person with skills "beyond" what the company that hire them can really afford and the person doesn't actively try to move to a different company because we are in a industry where a flat 100k is considered low by some, but still allows a fairly comfortable life style that doesn't engender wanting to make big changes.

Combine that with fear of the unknown, plus the cargo culting of hiring practices that ask for skills that dont actually get used on the job and are thus completely atrophied by actual experienced devs all encourage inertia in current role. Especially if they are getting okayish equity refreshers and are in a stable company.
So how would that work for people who only work in offline networks?

I find it a bit shallow that they throw around these words so easily. The apologies would have a bit more worth IMHO if they actually would compensate him financially for the foundational work.

Heh, had the same difficulties. It’s funny how slow home equipment is when compared to 25gbit/s internet. I’m waiting for my 10 gibt/s to be enabled by init7, but even that took me multiple weeks to research to find a reasonably sized router that can do 10g/s. And even that is a bit of an overkill, I’m getting it simply because it’s free if you have 1g/s already.
