Aedes Aegypti isn't even a species that's native to the US. It's been brought there by humans.

Even if you're convinced by arguments of naturalness (which I'm not), in this case it makes no sense, because you're not messing with nature, you're trying to return nature to a previous state before humans interfered.

I mean fuel as the payload, to be used as fuel for future missions via something rendezvousing with it in orbit and picking up the fuel. You could think of it as one more stage, mathematically that's how you might treat it, but from an engineering perspective it's a qualitative difference versus what we have now.
Coming from a different language, the idea that the OS provides your libraries is a radical departure. Generally a modern developer working in any other language will look to github along with the languages package repository for libraries.

Anecdotally the types of libraries shippable with the OS represent a specific category of application which doesn't encompass many developers needs. (Although on the other side, github does not provide usable drivers for most operating systems... your mileage may very).
Yes. To this day if you work with marijuana dispensary you will be denied of any payment processor. Sex workers are denied credit card applications, even where prostitution is legal.

There is also "not exactly blocked but so many hoops to jump that is practically as it doesn't exist" markets: try being a consultant working from South America without getting ripped off in transfer/exchange fees and ask them how many would wish that their customers paid them in crypto instead.
You're saying they actually have a law on the books saying it's okay to do it accidentally? Why would someone write a law to say an accident is an accident?
I agree. I also remember working Friday/Saturday nights in the lab (as that was the only time I got to work on my projects), while everybody went out clubbing.
Politically speaking, it's also good to push back on any legislation or system where parents lose power on their kids education and upbringing, even in the name of their well-being.
It's important as a society that we have autonomy and diversity in the upbringing of the next generation.
Maybe it is, but it has to start somewhere. This is where it starts, what's the problem with that?
I had plenty of loans from the DoE.

Getting the DoE into the student loan market was intentional and is seen as the first step to reworking the entire system. Navient et al are keen to keep the gravy train rolling.
It's not just fish. Our hands naturally tend to conform to the objects we grasp without our needing to think about it. And robotic grasping with hands designed to do the same is much, much easier than the other way around.
Ask HN: What Happened to Product Hunt?
It used to be a community about hunting great products and discovering cool new products, but nowadays, it feels full of spam. I get random messages on Twitter or Reddit from people asking to upvote their product.
Fine, then let's use a needs-based mechanism so that we don't exclude needy people who just didn't have the means to go to school in the first place or reward people like me who are doing fine but didn't pay off our loans because it's more lucrative to invest the money in the stock market. Student loan forgiveness isn't merely unjust, it's ineffective for antipoverty. Moreover, "tough luck, life ain't fair" is a great rationale for ignoring poverty and injustice altogether.

> One other thing people don't consider is that Most 18 year olds don't have a good grasp on money or what they want to do in general and in my hometown (poor county in WV) there was a TON of pressure to go to college if you didn't know what you want to do. Kids don't know better to not get into debt for a degree because everyone tells them not to worry about it. There is a serious problem with financial education in the US.

Agreed. I grew up working class in the midwest. The working class kids who went to college generally did fine because we worked and didn't live like we were earning 6 figures. The upper- and upper-middle-class kids were the ones who were getting Starbucks every day, living in dorms, paying for meal plans, going out to eat every other night, working fewer than 8 hours/week, skipping class, majoring in fine arts, etc and financing it all on debt (my wife is in the latter group and she has considerable loan debt that we're currently investing).

Student loan forgiveness will surely help some lower-class people, but by and large it's welfare for the middle and upper classes. It's regressive. https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/how-student-loan...
I think Polish shops are pretty common across the UK these days - in Huntingdon (pop. 23k, 1 h north of London) there are at least two, and you can pick it up in the big supermarket (Tesco).

I think it has gone down a bit from the peak around 2016, but Poland became something like the third or fourth most common place of birth in the UK (after the UK, India and Pakistan I think) with roughly one million Polish immigrants.

[I have a Polish boyfriend living in the UK, so know too much about this ;-) ]
Credit card debt, home loans, and auto loans are all far more dischargeable through bankruptcy than student loans.

Bad credit card debt won’t be an anchor around your neck financially until you die. Neither will a bad home loan. Neither will a bad auto loan.

But bad student will likely be with you until death.

Without commenting on the role of society in this particular issue, I'll note that you have to know and understand the risks in order to accept them. And in my experience (aerospace) people are exceptionally bad at both identifying and assessing risk in areas outside their field of expertise.
Because our public school system is a propaganda machine for getting students to go to college.

They tell high school students...people who are legally still children that the most important thing is to go to college. They tell them if they can't afford it, they can just get loans.

And now people are surprised and blame the kids when they do as their teachers told them and rack up 5 or sometimes even 6 figures of student loan debt before they're even old enough to drink.

Fucking stop and pause for a moment and really consider that. Counselors, teachers, and all other high school staff pushing kids to go to college, and then when they do, people come along and tell them it was a bad decision? What?

I know this sounds scary to most, but I was doing local hitchhiking to go fishing, or bring our bikes up Mt Tam, starting at 7-8 yrs old. I walked, rode a bike, or took the bus everywhere else.

My parents rarely took me anywhere that didn't involve them. And I was always told to be home when the streetlights came on.

I too am very grateful that I was raised way in the 70's.

Yes, genome engineering is a tool that can be used for evil, no different than most other tools. I am confident your worry would be easily detected and squashed if some lab were attempting such a dreadful thing.
If the 1.6 trillion in debt was divided evenly among every human in the US it would be 4k. If we’re ball-parking and say that the top 20% of earners would foot the bill it’d be about 64k per household.
You have to work for the government or a non-profit for this program. What you're imagining is not what this article is about.

> Why should I have to foot the bill for someone who just partied and got a useless degree?

Because you're a human being and recognise that while here you made no mistakes and had no bad luck, perhaps someone could have done that or had that. It's called decency, and you have it not because it benefits you. You have it because it benefits everyone.
I know SF in the last decade has gotten pretty bad, but dad also didn't let me walk around SF in the 70s, either. (We didn't live there, we just visited.)

Big city life has always been a bit different, so I'd grant an out there for a little more helicoptering.

But most of the country isn't SF. (And most of SF isn't SF--if that makes any sense. Sunset isn't the Tenderloin.) In the town I live in now, things are easily as safe as they were in the town I grew up in. And yet--lines of cars in the schools every day.

If it's necessary to protect your kid, do it. But I think what we're seeing here is a lot of additional protection being applied in circumstances that have not changed appreciably in the last 50 years.

The problem is that the people it benefits the most are disproportionately in the upper classes (they took out the most debt). Student loan forgiveness doesn't do what most people think it will do. https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/how-student-loan...
I have a .con in the db
The parent said:

"People who have paid their student loan debt are in exactly the same situation they were after this forgiveness than they were before"

Not:

"People who have paid their student loan debt are in exactly the same situation as those whose loans were forgiven"

You may have a valid point about why it's bad that the two people are in different situations (if you elaborate), but the parent did not say that the two people are in the same situation.
This is a solved problem - provide education and empowerment for women. This is why advanced societies are seeing flat birth rates (indeed often declining).
That last part is WAY more common and likely than anything else.

So letting kids walk to the park is way less risky than a thunderstorm (though perhaps they shouldn't walk to the park IN a thunderstorm).

> In 2019, 608 child passengers age 12 and younger died in motor vehicle crashes, and more than 91,000 were injured. Of the children 12 and younger who died in a crash (for whom restraint use was known), 38% were not buckled up.

I haven't done the numbers, but driving a kid to the park when not buckled up may be more dangerous than letting them walk.

I think you're confusing the premise that society should have limits with the premise that things should be illegal. We do police caloric intake, and honestly I think we should do more because obesity and associated problems cost the American taxpayer $200 billion per year. Other societies than the US are healthier because those societies believe that the collective has a responsibility to individuals and individuals to the collective, and vice versa the government.

We limit risky behaviors all the time as well. It's illegal to parkour on private property, but not everywhere. It's illegal to freedive and BASE jump in many places, but not everywhere. Some caves aren't legal to explore, for others, you have to be an expert. Expertise is a way society gatekeeps many dangerous activities. If you're under the age of 18 or older than 75, you can't climb Mount Everest.

We no longer put heroin or cocaine in soda, we regulate some drugs and outlaw others on the premise that addiction poses a burden both on the society and the individual. We also have doctors and treatment centers as society's way of intermediating between people and bad behaviors.

And yes, there are reasonable limits placed both by society and by the law, on where and how and how big you can dig holes. It isn't an unacceptable imposition on your personal liberty that you just cant take a shovel anywhere you like and start digging anywhere you want.

>"We live in a society" goes both ways and does not imply individuals need to give up everything for the greater good.

No, it doesn't and I never claimed it did.
QEMU and FFmpeg are sort of in this category of tooling that are incredibly powerful. The amount of things you can do with it, the technical achievement, is incredible.

No, they don't think they will sell it. Filing for a patent does not mean they are going to do it.
A college degree, home ownership, etc were incorrectly seen by lawmakers as pathways to success as opposed to signals of success.
> No kids would die by being forgotten in a public transport.

That is a bold assertion. I have certainly been the only human on public transportation at times.

You are intentionally narrowing your argument to "forgotten in personal vehicle" so you can say that personal vehicles are bad. That does not seem profound. Moving entirely to public transportation would eliminate that precise risk while introducing others. And the net result may actually be more deaths. Keep in mind how rare children dying in cars is today.
This is just satanic as someone in the reddit comments said.
I find myself in a very funny situation where I have a very high paying and great job, that I got without any education. Now that I want to emigrate to Japan, I need a degree, so I am going to study in Finland as real estate is cheap and I can get a degree for free there before moving. I literally just need that piece of paper.

I imagine there are plenty who very pedantically explain the difference.

In my experience, it’s hard not to take offense when the word being used is frequently used by people who are intending offense. Our brains are hardwired to perceive attacks, and if I’ve been attacked by people using similar wording before lower-level functions are assuming anyone using that wording is attacking me.

The example used in this thread, Eskimo, is probably harmless from people who don’t interact much with Inuit people. But to an Inuit person, the people who live near them using the word Eskimo are probably being insulting. Sure they might judge that e.g. a Belgian internet commentator didn’t mean offense, but their brain is jumping to that conclusion and then being talked off that ledge.
Yes. What you are talking about is a fish keeping a fixed depth.

Having a swim bladder enables the fish to attain neutral buoyancy. That way the fish doesn't need to expand energy to keep itself from sinking or floating up.
What the article is talking about is position keeping against the current in flowing water.

Swim bladder is good for up-down position keeping, the article's phenomenon is good for forward-backward position keeping.

Interestingly there is a way to use a swim bladder like construct to propel one forward. Underwater gliders do this, and the process is very energy efficient.

The way it works is that the glider uses its variable buoyancy device (an artificial swim bladder) to set a negative buoyancy and starts sinking. The wings of the glider turn this downward motion into forward speed. At the target depth the glider expands some energy from its batteries to set a positive buoyancy and keeps the forward momentum as it is ascending. Because of this they only need to use energy at two points (at the top and the bottom) in their saw-tooth like swim profile, and they can travel thousands of kilometers on a single charge.

Student loans should be discharged on personal bankruptcy. All of the other examples you give can be written off like that. Student loans, however, are rarely discharged by judges on those processes.

Some companies incentive engineers to file patents, and this is the likely result.

It does not mean they have an intention whatsoever of actually doing it. It's just something they add to their portfolio of patents.

Take Tableau off of your resume unless you want to be a dashboard monkey (sorry, “BI Developer”).

As opposed to a regression-and-printf monkey (sorry, "Data Scientist")?

Like it or not - a lot of companies run on dashboards. To, you know, actually get their data out to people. So they can run their business, so you can get paid.

If you dig math and like doing mathy things, good for you. There's no need to be snide about the work that others do that (like it or not) as just as essential to keeping the business afloat as yours.

You are absolutely right though that pigeonholing in this industry is very much a thing. And intellectual honesty, not so much. Lesson being -- if one is targeting certain fields, it is often best to leave certain things off our resumes (or tone them way down).
The problem is that many US universities are private. So when the government puts money into loans and grants for students, the universities just raise tuition, rather than expanding to accept more students. In the end it's just a transfer from the public to university administrators. To really expand access to education we'd have to have many more public universities.

And anyway, the problem with education isn't that it's not available to enough people. Smart, motivated kids can get a university education even if they're poor. We have enough academics and highly-educated workers for our economic needs. The problem is that it's become a class marker. Many, many people don't want more degrees out there, because it would make their own degree less valuable. Others are desperate to get a degree at any cost, not because it improves their career prospects, but because it confers high status. So taking on huge debt for a useless degree is fine, and in fact good, because it's conspicuous consumption. Of course, debt sucks, so once they have the degree, loan forgiveness is very much in their interest, but not publicly-funded university.

On the larger question, I think it's a cultural thing. America was settled by people leaving stifling societies to go it alone: Europe at first, then the American establishment on the east coast. The frontier is gone, but that value system persists, and self-reliance and independence are hugely important to many people in the US. There's a pretty good argument to be made that American democracy arose because the wilderness was right there and if they didn't get a say in government, people would just move beyond its reach. That culture is has served us well, but we've run out of frontier, and we're starting to feel the social pressures that Europe has had for millennia. There's no escape from the state, so the way to get ahead is to work the system, get a larger share of the pie rather than growing it, and so on. The pushback to that is to demand more fairness from the system, ie, a welfare state.
