> - tuition was definitely overpriced

IMO, this is the essence of why ISAs have become so scammy.

ISA-based bootcamps are doing a fantastic job of competing against the perceived cost of a college education. We've all seen news headlines about how private college tuition is reaching $200K. What most people miss is that almost nobody pays full price for college. They have a high headline number for the wealthiest families, but virtually everyone else pays a fraction of this cost or some times nothing at all.

People see the "$30K" price tag for Lambda School and other programs and assume it's a steal, yet most in-state tuitions are in the same range and provide substantially more education.

I've also been completely stunned by how bad some of these programs are. I took the bait about Lambda School back when PG was promoting it all over Twitter, but it has been a terrible disappointment for the small handful of bright students I've known who went through it. Maybe it's changed, but at the time it felt like they were paying $30K of future earnings to have an inexperienced person point them to simple tutorials that they could have found by themselves online. They were basically paying for the certificate that said they completed the program, which is ironically the stereotype that people were using for 4-year colleges at the time.

With a quick skim by my non-expert eye, they are really saying that using the full limit of "strong primes" is unnecessary, and that it suffices to use random primes. But random primes are not such that p-1 is smooth, "random primes" will still have a reasonably large factor, so the comment remains.

If you take it to an extreme, using a prime p of the form 2^k+1 makes pq reasonably easy to factor (I think) using the Pollard P-1 algorithm.

So there's still value in ensuring that p-1 and q-1 both have a reasonably large factor.

But I'm at, and possibly beyond, my actual knowledge, and somewhat into "better safe than sorry" speculation.

> I would guess that late twenties are the ideal time to have kids.

In hindsight, I'm thinking teenage years. For all practical purposes your days are wasted anyway, so you may as well waste it enjoying your kids. They'll be much more independent by the time you're deemed old enough to begin participating in society. You are also more likely to have a larger community of people in the household at that age to help raise the children.
Ugh no not java please.

I'm so glad we're not having to deal with different components of major server systems requiring different JRE versions because backwards compatibility in Java is so absolutely horribly broken. And of course those different versions you installed in different places try to 'helpfully' find and upgrade each other causing the various components to break.

Java was a nice idea with very poor execution. It's been surpassed by many other technologies now, even .NET does it better.
I'd also venture that a decent amount of the people trading crypto today weren't familiar with traditional brokers and investing in the stock market. I'm one of those people and truth be told I had no frame of reference for what is an acceptable fee schedule. I just wanted to trade, and did. Hopefully competition brings fees down, but for the longest time you really didn't have a lot of options when it came to finding an exchange that let you trade the coins you wanted.
I think we're talking about different things. I'm not sure if you know we are talking about different things are are doing it intentionally, or if we are just talking past each other.

I can't say for sure what vishnugupta meant, but what I thought when I read their comment are:

* Most people's chat goes over things like Slack or MS Teams -- proprietary protocols. Not the open protocols that do exist like IRC.

* Most people's "instant messaging" goes over things like Signal, Whatsapp, or Facebook Messenger, all proprietary protocols. Even if open protocols like XMPP exist, they are less popular.

* Most people's video conferencing goes over things like Zoom, MS Teams, Apple Facetime -- proprietary protocols.

* I am not familiar with the "file sharing" protocols popular, but I assume the same.

HOWEVER, most people's email goes over open protocols. It's an outlier when it comes to these higher-level interpersonal communications.

(Do you disagree? I'm not sure if you do, or if you're just talking about something else!)

But yes, of course, there are other open protocols that are still very much in use. Including things like TCP/IP and UDP (which almost all of the protocols we are talking about function on top of) and HTTP (which some may as well). Most of these popular infrastructural protocols are also older, where vishnugupta suggested "since then", new protocols that become popular tend to be proprietary. An example of a newer network protocol that was open and standardized and also had a lot of uptake would be good to hear!
I'll start by flipping your question to the things I'm incredibly happy I did when I was younger. Which are all sorts of "bucket list" items which are best done while young.

Aging in your 30s sneaks up on you. At 30 you can still go to the 2am punk rock show and then merely complain a bit more about hangovers getting worse. At 40 you're the weird adult hanging out with people who could be your kid.

At 30 you can drop everything and go hike the Appalachian trail for 6 months, at 40 you might have medical issues that prevent this, or kids, or just a general change in outlook such that hiking all day to sleep on the ground sounds miserable instead of fulfilling.

My advice would be, if you want to go sail the south Pacific or climb the Himalayas or backpack around Europe or volunteer in a developing country or play in a band at SXSW, go do it now.

I'm glad I went and did things while I could, and while I was the right age to enjoy them fully. I've still got plenty more living to do, but I recognize many experiences will never be the same as having done them younger.
You might just as well insist on never linking up your Google account with payment. This might not apply to a random pay to win candycrush clone, but Spotify is enough of an outlier they they likely have quite a few subscribers (or would be subscribers) who never accepted their phone as an app store payment mechanism. I know quite a few people who I'd suspect to be far more willing to hand over they CC data to Spotify than to Apple/Google.
What war are you talking about? Albright and the Democratic Party were not in power in either 1991 or 2002, the two invasions in Iraq.

Albright stopped a life genocide in the balkans with a few weeks of air strikes. That was a war so unavoidable, Germany reversed 60 years of pacifism and felt obliged to participate. The region, today, is prosperous and peaceful. It’s really the best possible example the concept of humanitarian intervention could have, apart from WW2.

I live rurally now, running errands in towns of about 8000, 200 and 900 people respectively.

I've been engaging in a lot more smalltalk. I'm very rusty at it to be honest (no one talks to anyone in cities), but I think overall it's been good to me.

Asking for favours though... I don't know, seems a little weird. I'd be extremely mistrustful of any strangers asking me for a favour.
The batteries are first separated from the phones; this happens elsewhere. The remainder of the phones arrive at the processing plant in Hoboken (near Antwerp) and are shredded.

Each batch of finely shredded material is analyzed for its content to determine value and to choose processing details.

After shredding and analysis, the material goes into a large (15 meter high) smelting oven. (The burning of plastic from the phones contributes to the heat, but it's not the main heat source. Probably natural gas?) Sulfur is recovered from the gasses coming from the oven to produce sulfuric acid, which is used in processes further downstream or sold.

The oven produces a batch of molten metal, which is then separated in stages through chemistry. E.g. oxygen is injected and some metals react with this and the oxides float to the top. A bunch of other chemistry is done. Some stuff may go to another oven.

The recovered metals are either returned to the supplier of the input material, or sold by Umicore itself. They sell gold at https://umicoregoldshop.be , though I'm not sure whether it's all from e-waste.
> For example, you could reward high-earning students by giving them a cut of income generated from students who follow.

I know this is not what you're suggesting, but your post just reminded me of something. Many of those schools offer anywhere from $100 to $3,000 referral bonuses to alumni (or influencers) who refer new students to it. This can be a very perverse incentive.

So if you ever speak to an alumnus of a coding bootcamp, make them believe that someone else already referred you to their bootcamp. They're much more likely to tell you the truth about their experience if they know they can't earn a commission from you.

> I wonder if crypto users are basically more primed to expect fees and crypto exchanges are better at making users forget about it with clever UX?

They aren't, because crypto has no users. Unlike with dollars, where useful main street economic activity dwarfs the horse-trading that's happening on Wall Street - it's the other way around in the crypto space.

What it has are speculators, and they will eat that 0.5% transaction fee, if that's the cost of their investments going #tothemoon.
Ok... how does that help cryptocurrencies, though?

That's true for NEW music gear. Sort of. Musical instruments specifically. Top end recording gear not so much, since like who else buys it except for people who record professionally.

But for the most part these guys are buying vintage/classic stuff and paying astronomical amounts of money for it, since pretty much all people on the planet who care about guitars or tube preamps are chasing the same couple models.
The main distinction is that traditional student debt isn't conditional or easy to discharge.

There is a sizable portion of individuals who do not complete or utilize their degrees and are thus left with low income, large amounts of debt, and little prospect of paying it off.

ISAs solve this problem.
Republicans used this as a campaign issue in the 2002 midterms. They wanted to paint a no vote on Iraq as weak. I believe this is a substantial component for why many congressional and senate Democrats voted for it.

It was a really ugly thing to see playing out in public and media... Policy was set arbitrarily in the executive branch and media and congress were ... Yes also responsible, and not really exercising their full power and responsibility, but also some of them bullied into it. The patriotism of anyone against the war was very harshly attacked and unfortunately it seemed pretty effective at the time.

I don't know. I only know that for me, after playing Half Life: Alyx, I never want the play a non-VR first person shooter again. Being there is 10x better than looking at a movie of being there (a 2D monitor). Having played No Man's Sky in VR I can't imagine being satisfied with a non VR space game. Having played Until You Fall, I can't imagine being okay with a non-VR action hand-2-hand combat game. Having played several rhythm games in VR I can't imagine going back to most 2D rhythm games. The VR ones make me dance so the experience is far more impactful. The 2D ones, maybe only those with accessories (Rockband, Guitar Hero) would still be ok but their excitement level is not even close to the VR games. Having played Jet Island I'd never be satisfied with non-VR Spiderman. Having played Farpoint I won't be able to appreciate the Metroid Prime 4. Even Astrobot VR makes it hard to go back to Mario even if Mario is a better game.

I'm not saying all those games are perfect or even good, only that the immersion, presence, impact was such that I can't go back to many 2D monitor based games. Sure there are exceptions, it's not always about graphics or etc, but I'd much rather play GTA5 than GTA3, not because GTA3 is bad, it was great, but because based on the type of game it is it's just better with modern tech. The same is true for many well made games in VR.

So will VR get to iPhone level? No idea. But I hope it gets close to PS4/PS5/Switch levels

---

Let me add, my point in PDA progression is that we don't know what it will take for VR to explode. PDAs didn't explode until 3 things happened (1) switching from resistive (stylus required) to capacitive (finger) displays, (2) requiring a data connections, all previous PDAs it was an expensive option that few opted into but iPhone effectively required it since it was a replacement for your phone and so it forced users to see the benefit (3) an OS designed for fingers/phones first.

In VR it could be we need smaller eyeglass like devices instead of bulky phone display devices: https://www.gmw3.com/2021/01/new-design-appears-at-ces-2021-... It could be we need the device to read your hands+fingers instead of requiring controllers. It could be we need to wait for the VR to be like that in Black Mirror, Season 5, episode 1, Striking Vipers. That's still "VR".
I can imagine what they're in a rush to refactor.

I don’t believe that people in aggregate change much if at all. We may evolve in different ways at different times, but the carrots and sticks that drive behavior are the same.

We tend to idolize the distant past more because we’re at arms length, and we miss what’s around us because we lack perspective.

So, what's interesting is that static typing buys you somewhat minimal gains in performance. This is why dart 1 shipped with what they called "optional typing".

The thing Dart "fixed" in terms of performance is it forced consistent typing. It removed the ability to add/remove/change fields/methods on an object at runtime. The Achilles' heel of javascript (at least, when I got hype on dart years ago) is how stupidly easy it is to change the memory shape of any object. That means the VM can't generally lay out memory for an object in a compact form. Further, the VM has to do a bunch of checks before it can go down the optimized path (in case assumptions are invalidated).

For a consistent type system, the only check needed is "is this object shaped like I think it should be?" and then you go from there.

I think the most disappointing part of Dart is that all that effort was spent creating a new language when what the browser needed (and still needs) is a new bytecode. I'd love to see WASM reach the point of a universal bytecode but fear that it painted itself into a corner by first targeting memory managed languages.

Your criteria are not possible, especially the one about hot summers.

NYC, for example, has equally hot summers to Atlanta, just a few weeks shorter.

Most Northern places that meet your weather, distance, and opportunity criteria are going to fail other criteria, primarily affordability.

Also most of those cooler places are hemorrhaging population.

I would suggest you give up on cool summers because all the affordable, growing cities are in the South and have ubiquitous air conditioning. Then look at the Research Triangle, Atlanta, Nashville, and Tampa Bay metro areas.

Nothing near cities is affordable right now though.

>The main thing currently that no one seems concerned about is the reduction of grain production from Russia and Ukraine because of the war. This is going to have a global impact and will increase food scarcity that a 3 month individual supply can not do anything about.

This is the main thing that has gotten me worried. In 2010 there was a heatwave in Russia that affected the wheat harvest and in 2011 we had the Arab spring. There are an increasingly large number of failed states or states that are on the verge of tipping into that in that region of the world too. Lebanon's grain storage capacity was reduced to a month's supply after the Beirut explosion. Water tables are very stressed in Morocco which supplies the majority of the worlds rock phosphate which is the critical input into phosphate fertilizers which massively boost agricultural productivity beyond normal means. When you dig down into it it's clear the world is in a "food bubble" supported by over-pumping of water from aquifers, hydrocarbons, globalization.

The ripple effect the economics are going to have will be pretty far reaching.

One small suggestion here -- PhotoPrism went with `tensorflow.js` to load up classification models, and I recommend a "real" TF or PyTorch installation to properly leverage the computation resources. The difference is huge even running cpu-only because it's wasm vs. proper BLAS library.

I worked on a nodejs binding for native ONNX runtime (not publicly) so that's also a possible way out.
