> because grants impact taxpayers’ wallets today

The government can defect spend, and raise taxes later. That's even more of an obfuscated price than an ill-advised loan. Either mechanism of surprise costs is a bad thing.

The root of the higher-ed problem is social. We're forcing kids to make career decisions before they're ready, and we're forcing them into paths based upon 1970s stereotypes about the workplace. 50% of counselors and secondary-teachers are clueless about the broader workplace, and the other 50% would be politically chastised by parents if they told the truth.

We'd solve 80% of our student loan crisis if it was politically okay to tell kids:

1. If you don't have an interest in higher learning, don't want to go to college, or "just want a job" you shouldn't go to college. Don't go to college because your mother is pressuring you to do it, because she finds it 'unfashionable' or 'embarrassing' if you don't.

2. Just because you can do something doesn't mean someone will pay you to do it. How many job openings are in that career path, how many people are competing for that job, and how do you rank against them?

3. Academic talent is 50% of what employers care about. Nobody is going to care about your GPA if you don't have social, professional, and self-marketing skills.

BattleTech had something similar: it was considered cheaper to keep replacing humans than to replace the mechs, because hardly anyone knew how to repair or build mechs.
I agree with that. I think this made me enjoy a lot learning Pharo, and admire the Smalltalk-way of doing thigs, as there's a culture of great care with the environment around the language. The tooling is a integral part of language, not just an afterthought.
>I own the house I currently live in because of a script I wrote.

Somewhat similar story for me. I live in a big European city where young people/students predominantly live in flatshares. One website which pretty much has a monopoly on room ads here also allows room seekers to post an inquiry themselves. So many people do it that after less than half an hour, your ad will already be somewhere at the end of page 2. I wrote a script to automatically update my ad every few minutes to push it back to the top. I ended up getting a lot of responses I probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise.
Great to hear that Intel is finally competitive in this space again. If process improvements are coming on time (and they are, if Pat is to be believed), perhaps Intel can finally compete in low-power, high-perf versus M1.

Repeating this wise comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23769427

The COVID death counts are hopelessly over-counted. This is why there's a cottage industry of people pointing out things like "COVID deaths" which mysteriously also suffered from being murdered, or drug overdoses, or undiagnosed leukaemia.

Then you get into the problem of care homes being authorised to report COVID deaths without any testing or formally trained opinion at all.
Maybe we can just have people consume twice as much.
> The idea that we grow food to feed cattle or fish to feed pets is among the biggest environmental stupidity I can think of.

The meats that dogs and cats eat are essentially the waste products from meat production aimed at human consumption. You can certainly find some exceptions (especially on Instragram), but the vast, vast majority of people, even those feeding raw diets to their pets, use either meat not meant for human consumption or offal that most Americans don't consume.
I believe he surpassed several important “milestones” for a transplant patient so his death doesn’t mean the surgery was unsuccessful by any means. And even if it was a total “failure” of a surgery and the patient died on the table that doesn’t mean the team “didn’t learn much”. Not by a long shot.

That’s good to hear. How wide is your scope of experience?
It just means that the price of an individual stock is too high for the average investor to be able to purchase it.

AMZN closed today at $2,782.94. If they did a 20:1 split today, that means if you owned 1 share @ $2,782.94, when you wake up in the morning you would now own 20 shares @ $139.14 (20x the shares @ 1/20th the original price).

It can lead to a slight bump in stock price because it's easier for average folks to buy a $139.14 share than a $2,782.94 share. More demand -> prices go up. However, macro conditions like the US economy, world news, or news that affects the business directly are probably going to have a greater impact on price than a stock split.

I don't work anywhere as big as Amazon/AWS but it is still a "big tech engineering firm" and we're experiencing all the same problems.
That is one of the things that passes me off about all this. The enforcement agency did go after a bunch of drivers that were driving passengers for money without a "P" licence. Now, IIRC, Uber does require drivers to have a "P" licence.

But that same agency didn't do shit to Uber for operation of a taxi service without meeting the requirements.

Going after the little people is easy, but give up when the target has a bunch of VC money and lawyers.

We have a similar problem with our courier drivers. Everyone is "totally not an employee, they run their own independent business".
> reliable enough

Reliable enough for what? Uninterrupted playback (barring from drained batteries)? Nope.
Theoretically a stock split doesn’t change anything - let’s say you used to have 100 shares valued at 10 dollars each, and the company decides to change that to 200 shares at 5 dollars. You still have the same amount of value (1000 dollars).

So why do it? Usual reason is to make trading a bit easier - now you can sell 1 share at 5 dollars, rather than having to sell 1 share for 10, which might make it easier to find a buyer.
If I trust Microsoft enough with my privacy to control my operating system, then I trust Microsoft enough to have my phone number. So this issue has not arisen for me.
That's an eternal conundrum, and one that eats away at me on a regular basis.

Long story short:

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” ― George Bernard Shaw

Long story long:

I'm a nice person, I'm passive, I like letting people do their thing and letting them learn on their own timeline because, in my experience, 'forcing it' can result in an opposite reaction. I'm happy to provide guidance when asked and gentle suggestions and nudges in the right direction, delivered non-threateningly.

On the flipside, my opinions are relatively strongly held because I 'do the work' to research and understand the issues that I either care about, or am tasked to solve in my work.

I get internally "Jobsian" at the dismissal of my solution for another, but rarely let my internal "Jobs" out of his box. In my earlier years I've been told (by my wife) that I'm scary when in disagreement; my voice, tone, and body language is apparently threatening. I don't want to impose this beast, I don't want my influence to be threatening, I want it to be intellectual; the actual right answer or best path forwards.

Quiet intellectualism, however, appears to be the easiest thing in the world to ignore and / or dismiss.

Or maybe I'm just wrong, and living in my own reality distortion field.

There are a lot peer reviewed papers on this topic. Feel free to research them if you'd like.

A few studies to google:

CDC's January study, although that wasn't peer reviewed since it's published in MWMR, and those aren't peer reviewed.

Israel's large N study on natural immunity compared to not-previously infected, vaccinated population

Qatar's study with a sample size of 80,000 (If i recall the sample correctly)

Natural immunity conferred greater protection than vaccination alone for Delta. That's clear in these papers. Probably was not the case for previous variants, because the vaccines were generated from the earlier strain. I find it odd that there wasn't a concerted effort to "update" the vaccines with the newer genetic material for the more recent strains. Perhaps it wasn't sensible due to continued mutations inevitable with the virus.
Crikey, every residential home in Australia has one of these. The golden orb weaver which is a close relative of Joro I believe. As an Australian citizen it is my duty to remind the rest of the world that we have the most deadliest snakes and spiders in the world, which makes us tough I guess...

Yet you don’t say that you make impulse buys that way. 80% of 0 is still 0.

I think this is common, or at least not uncommon; I'm in the same situation though it's more of a "strongly prefer not to work for". If I didn't have any other options that could provide a bare minimum salary that I can live off of, I would certainly apply at the "evil(tm)" companies. It's an unfortunate symptom of capitalism that evil tends to get ahead.

I also think this is part of the reason salaries at these companies are so high (exceptions aside, they're generally higher than at less evil companies). If they didn't distinguish themselves on salary, people would always go with the underdogs which may not be as corrupt yet.
> US was pressurising Poland and other countries for at least a week to transfer the planes to Ukraine.

US has been portrayed (almost certainly accurately) as an obstacle to countries doing it directly since NATO (almost certainly at US direction) shot the original leaked idea down; the recent “green light” for direct transfer was no doubt an attempt to not be seen as the barrier to direct transfer, but hardly constitutes pressure to do it, and if the US wanted it done they could have explained not doing it in a way which wasn't clearly an argument for why transferring planes isn't a good idea, but was instead an argument for why the particular proposal made by Poland wasn't.

Having TOTP enabled should ward off the "suspicious login" prompts that ask for your phone number. If they still want your phone number for whatever reason, you'll have no choice but to buy another burner phone, but there's no reason they wouldn't accept a new phone number. You did remove that phone number from your account, after all (people change their phone numbers all the time).
Internet is a source of truth, and cutting off internet eliminates Russian access to truth. I think that Russians need to see the truth to attempt to effect change on Russian government, which is needed to stop the war.

That is an interesting dilemma. As we grow and the average end-user goes from 1 to 5 to 10-20 sites that is being protected by Rownd, we will enforce greater and greater authentication schemes for Rownd.

The truth is, if your email is compromised right now, most sites will be compromised since "lost password" fall backs are sent over email. 2FA is the way to go into the future.

The heart of this issue is around how to authenticate users quickly and securely.

Which is a lot different from pressure to do it.
It's difficult to interpret your comment. It's a link to a news story about how a partly built "illegal" stone bridge collapsed, killing 11 people, presumably because it was poorly designed. In context, you seem to be suggesting that Linux, QEMU, and ffmpeg are analogous to that bridge because they are of extremely poor quality, while there's some kind of official government software licensing body that protects people from such terrible software. Is that what you meant?

No such body exists, though many attempts have been made to establish one, with dismayingly destructive results, as I outline in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30621151.

I think that if we want to enable the Fabrice Bellard of civil engineering to build bridges, we probably need to keep all humans at a safe distance from the bridge until it's fully complete, then stress-test it to validate the FEM model before opening it to traffic. Also, probably not build it out of brittle materials like stone, because the stress test wouldn't give you enough information to validate the model's failure predictions.

We should be thinking about how to make civil engineering more like software engineering, with rigorous version control, automated testing, automated builds, rapid improvement in the state of the art, and safety features that minimize risk to humans in case of failure. Not vice versa.

(Though it would be nice if more programmers were in the habit of planning ahead and thinking about failure modes.)

How the hell do cabled headphones lead to a broken screen? I've owned quite a variety of mobile phones over the last 23 years, have never used a case to protect any of them, have used cabled headphones with a bunch of them, and the only one I've broken is one that I deliberately dropped into a glass of vodka and coke back in the year 2000 because I was smashed off my tits and it seemed like a good idea at the time (it wasn't, even though I'd been planning to replace it anyway - in the interim the lack of a phone was a major PITA for several days).
