This is remarkably accurate and resonates with me a lot. I did mathematical olympiads in high-school, where intuition to crack problems plays a major role. Then went on to college to study an undergraduate degree in maths (concentration in analysis). Analysis requires, at least in its rigorous foundations, to be careful and have a skilled knowledge of logic/quantifiers (more than elementary abstract algebra in my humble and biased opinion), often very scrupulously. Then in my graduate studies intuition along with the maturity of rigor work to produce new theorems. I'm impressed that several times I look at a paper or series of results and can read them "diagonally" to get the motivation without scanning all the text (of course, if the aim is to cite/build on top of/generalize/apply it then close attention to reasoning should be paid).
Charging you when you’re not using it is literally what makes the business model work. There’s a certain level of average utilization that, if achieved, would sink the business.
> Google's AMP has to be one of the best examples of how manipulative Google has become towards developers, users, the world.

It's a publicly traded company (which makes rich people richer AND funds our retirement plans). It's simply optimizing its feedback loops. Any publicly traded company gets more and more evil as it extracts more and more value.

To change this, we'll have to recognize how ubiquitous of a utility for all walks of life the internet has become. And begin thinking about certain aspects of it in the same way we do other public utilities.
> That's something like $50 per student.

Basically anything that gov does can be boiled down to: “That’s just $X/capita”, IMO wrong way to think about it.

This funding can kickstart more things. More is good but should first measure the outcomes whether it works or not, how well is the funding used and understand it’s impact.
My initial reaction was akin to one of the top level comments: These aren't the same, what a silly question!

But as I read through the answers with people simply entertaining it (in a very literal manner), I found myself really questioning it as well. It's odd how different disciplines approach seriousness in their ways.

Maybe it can be turned off, but the do you dare to turn it off at work?
I've already experienced my songs becoming "unavailable" or replaced with imposters multiple times on spotify, it's really only good for discovery.

As for where to actually rip from, I've never actually had to backup a song that only existed on spotify.
I have no special insight into Netlify, so this is (educated) speculation: there's an important difference between pay-as-you-go compute providers, like AWS, and Netlify: Netlify is a platform, their value is not derived from the workloads they process, so charging (or not charging) based on compute doesn't align with their value proposition. The value of Netlify is that it's an end to end platform, taking a business from having some code to having a live website, where compute is just one component of the entire value proposition.

The marginal cost of a request is probably negligible, hence the tens of millions of requests included, but there is a cost associated with each user making use of their platform because it includes a lot more than just compute, and that's the value they're charging for.

I think if you're looking for a compute provider that offers pay as you go billing in order to minimise your costs, then Netlify probably isn't the platform for you, and you'd be better off using their service provider directly (in this case, Deno, but many Netlify alternatives use Lambda, Cloudflare Workers etc.).

I think Nintendo knows that people don’t actually care that much about playing game boy games. They are boring and unpleasant by todays standards but they hold a strong nostalgia factor. So they drip out bits of content and sell it at a high price while a subscription service would just remind everyone how little they care about playing very old games.
Perhaps what you find on the Internet is not nearly the same quality as what you find at college, and much it is misinformation, having a negative impact - you are better off not reading it. You could always try to learn from books you found at the library, and those were much higher quality on average than what you find on the Internet! Personally, it's hard to imagine a worse idea that 'learning' from 'the Internet'.

But if we throw out the values of truth and knowledge, then the Internet is filled with stuff!

College isn't supposed to be practical, only to transform your understanding of the world and your thinking skills. Go to a vocational school for practical information.
> First one can easily be solved using the local storage web API.

No, he wants global user state, not local browser state. Those are fundamentally different. With a local browser state, if I clear my browser website data, I get that again. If I use a different browser, I get it again. If I use a different device, I get it again.

Local storage should always be considered ephemeral, because it's trivial and common for it to be deleted or be unavailable.
I guess I was reading between the lines:

p174 : "There is no such thing as a 'public charter.' 'Public' does not just denote public money but also public accountability; most charter schools are not under the control of the parents and local citizens at all and thus cannot be called public."

p177: "[T]he very competitive landscape that charters are meant to foster creates a structural bias toward dishonest practices."

All public guarantees in this modern time are going to end up with a lot of shitty conditions and outcomes, when people in power don't care about them. Maybe that's a poor reply but it's my reply. The book indeed mixes "just overthrow the culture and machines of capitalism" and "here's some reforms I like, each of which may or may not be precluded by the overthrowy bit, at least a little." I think an unstated and reasonable assumption of FDB's is that if we enact these reforms, it will be because we've convinced the public that public schools and teachers are important. The ideas aren't just to put legal language on paper, they are cultural reforms advanced through appeals to compassion ("As a socialist, my interest lies in expanding the degree to which the community takes responsibility each all of its members, in deepening our societal commitment to ensuring the wellbeing of everyone.") Did the gay and lesbian community get marriage legalized by just crafting the most perfect bill texts?

It's hard to deny that leftism is in a confused way right now. They (generally, not deBoer afaik) think prostitution is liberating!

I hope you notice the irony in your comment. You praise the exporters while completely ignoring that imports must exist in equal proportion to exports.
I think you can see faith as a fork like this. Because in a world without science and reason people just believed. Magical thinking was the best explanation going. It only became faith when you could effectively disprove it. And Christianity took that lack of proof and made it a defining part of the movement. It became virtuous. And over the years science shined a light into the darker corners of knowledge and left less space for religious explanation. Until finally we are left with the unknowable. Not very satisfying.
It's a good question. SAT scores correlate with IQ tests as much as they correlate with subsequent administrations of the SAT.

Part of it is just that if you're going to administer a test multiple times a year to millions of people with a lot riding on their score, you need to constantly be developing new questions. IQ tests used by psychologists don't need that much churn, and the stakes are rarely anywhere near as high as on the SAT. Other part is that the SAT is specifically tailored toward the core curriculum of American secondary education, and is not officially supposed to just be a proxy for intelligence, even though it actually is. Colleges like to pretend that the SAT is testing "preparation" and "readiness" for their curriculum, because it's considered kind of crass in current times to admit that you're choosing winners and losers in part based on an innate quality that some people have a lot of and others severely lack.

It's simply adding context to words and giving you the option to change it.

This is useful for speaking on the international scene. It is impossible to be aware of all possibly harmful words.

Take for example "Eskimo". Many people outside Canada would not know that the people who it is used on prefers to be called Inuit or better yet the names of their own language (Inupiaq or Yupik). But to a Canadian, this would be a glaring mistake as many consider "Eskimo" to be insulting.

If I am writing a support text for that demographic and use the wrong word, I will be happy that my text editor adds a little hint that says "Are you sure you want to use this word? It might make people angry."

The alternative is to use the dictionary search feature on every single noun. I can think of a lot of such words. This is heavy and slow, so tech comes to the rescue. This feature already exists on a lot of spellchecker.
My biggest gripe isn’t that they produce a ton of content that largely doesn’t interest me - it’s that they prioritize it in the interface and force me to wade through all of it in order to get to what I want.

That is your anecdotal experience - one person in one place and time -but the data shows, very strongly, that people with college educations earn far more over their careers.
Be sure not to retire too late. At an older age, with all the experience you will have under your belt, picking up new concepts and methods will not be a problem, but retaining details in memory will. You have no idea how incredibly hard it will be. So start early.
Nor should it be, in my opinion.

Emacs has a loyal user base, and changing to having cua-mode as the default would likely anger most, if not all of them. I highly doubt that the number of long-term users gained by the change would be even remotely significant.

I am not sure the answer matters much. Society evolves beyond our individual power to control it. Being able to adapt to that change is a useful skill that yields benefits not only in the workplace but in society generally.

We love Great British Bake Off, but the proliferation of horrible knockoffs on Netflix is embarrassing. Just to name one example. They feel crass and paint-by-numbers. I appreciate it when these services take a risk on something weird, but this seems like the exact opposite.
to reiterate on parents endorsement for agile and the point that you seem to be taking issue with: nothing in Agile says you can't run final acceptance tests or integration tests before shipping.

we have done this in quite a couple of companies where things like functional safety or other requirements had to be met. agile sadly gets a bad rep (as does devops) for the way it is rolled out in its grotesque perverted style in large orgs (wagile etc that are nothing but a promise to useless middle/line managers in large orgs not to fire them, or "dev(sec)ops" being condensed into a job title - if that is you, shoot your managers!).

if you increase test automation and get better visibility into risks already during the requirements management phase (e.g. probably you're doing D/FMEA already?) then nothing stops you from kicking these lazy-ass firmware hardware engineers who are scared of using version control or jenkins to up their game, and make your org truly "agile"). Obviously it's not a technical problem but a people problem (to paraphrase Gerald M. Weinstein) and so every swinging dick will moan about Agile not being right for them or DevOps not solving their issues, while in reality we (as an industry) are having the same discussion since the advent of eXtreme programming, and I'm so tired of it I want to punch every person who invites an Agile coach simply for not having the balls/eggs to say the things everyone already knows, it's infuriating to the point I want to just succumb to hard drugs.

I dislike the idea that Collage/University is for preparing people to be in work force: "The question is why we can’t just prepare students for the work force.".

In collage/university you learn how to learn, field does not matter.

For future of society we need people who are not educated to do "the job" - we need more and more people who can think for themselves and shift between jobs.

It is sad observation that many people go there to get "the paper" it is also sad observation that I see people complaining "it is not part of my job description".

I like the Isaac Asimov novella "Profession".
It depends what stage of the dating game OP is getting stuck at I'd think. Getting first or even second dates I could see an art degree making a difference for a plumber. Because it would give him something else to lead with conversationally and it would make him stand out a bit more on the swiping apps.

I'm sure some of the issue is people consciously looking down on plumbers unfortunately, and yeah a degree doesn't change anything for a woman that just would not marry a plumber. But I also bet a part of it is semi or even subconscious. You're often filtering through 100+ profiles to decide who to give a chance. One of the things you glance at is what they list in the education section.

Could be an interesting experiment with fake Tinder profiles honestly.

Also a common spec for serverless is badly needed. Serverless code should be portable between different cloud providers, otherwise there's vendor lock in and much greater opportunity to price gouge.

I highly recommend Thunderbird (download it now. You won't be sorry.)[0].

Thanks for the pointer, but I am still confused about the categorization of "analysis" and now also "competitive".

For some reason, both of these words are included in patterns ("analy*" and "compet*") in the "Masculine Words" list; however, the methodology for Study 1 indicates that the word "competitive" is agentic and has to do with agency rather than gender.

It then references several papers for where they sourced their lists, but I can only access some of them. In the ones I was able to access, I can't find discussion on why "analysis" or "competitive" are considered masculine words. Many of the ones I can't access are older studies, perhaps not incidentally.

I work with "analysts" many of whom are women and they are expected to perform "analysis" as part of their job.
A research study I found[0] indicates as much as 48% of women are in "Analyst" roles.

The study referenced in the paper you linked looked at roles where the largest group of women in a male dominated profession was 26% for computer programmers.

I am sure it is very complicated and I'm missing lots of things in my quick survey, but in this admittedly cherry-picked example I don't understand how "analyst" is considered a masculine word when there is near parity between genders in "analyst" roles.

I wonder if some of these words are coded based on biases from times gone by -- maybe back in the 1970's and 1980's most "analysts" were male and therefore most "analysis" being performed by males, but in 2020's this does not seem to be the case.

What would you say they're missing? I mean, all of the NES, SNES, and N64 Mario games are on there, along with all of the Zelda games on those consoles. Nearly all of Nintendo's IP's are on there. I can't really imagine anything that it's truly missing.
Somatic evolution: We contain multitudes
My best guess is that the password-sharing crackdown is a response to slowed subscriber growth in an attempt to keep that growth at some astronomically high target. "Got rid of the best parts of their catalog" is definitely a subjective take. I'm going to assume you're referring to much of their licensed content which is a hard-to-scale problem unless you continue to throw money at it. One of Netflix's problems is that the profits it takes today doesn't get realized into "good content" until a much later date when production is wrapped and released.

Most Netflix originals are unwatchable these days.

It used to be that I’d binge most originals - but no more.

Example is Altered Carbon. First season excellent. Next season almost unwatchable because of “the message” above story quality. Same with Witcher.

I mostly keep it around for the “Netflix and Chill” dates.

I did when Maps was failing to route through a junction near where I lived in London, because it thought going straight through wasn't legal (it was). It was fixed a few weeks later.

(Disclaimer: I work for Google but nowhere near Maps, and my experience of correction predated my employment. And I don't speak for Google.)
It'd be fine to just ask for information in the cases where they don't have it, a system doesn't have to be perfect to be better.

Okay, jackass. If you're going to say something so incendiary, I'm going to assume your feelings apply consistently across all issues. Things like racism, sexism, transgender rights, climate, and others that don't immediately come to mind. After all, if you're so cavalier in dismissing the pain of other humans on one problem, it stands to reason you're as cold regarding other problems. At the very least, this makes you insensitive. On the other end, you're unwelcome here and you should fuck off.
I don't think the empty tax is a bad idea, but I don't think it will have a substantial effect.
I feel like HBO's quality trajectory is downward ever since ATT bought it and fired all the old HBO bosses that built their unique library. And now the HBO bosses are Discovery channel bosses, known for shitty "reality" shows about obese people and people with 10 kids or some other nonsense.

Hopefully Apple TV+ can re-create some of that magic.
We also need more support for people who work trades. Often those are jobs you cannot work until you are 65 or that involve non trivial amounts of physical risk. It's not just the current stigma, it's the long term social impacts. I'll have a comfortable retirement and can work until I'm 70, a welder likely doesn't have a 401k and can work until they are 50.
Afraid to ever use TurboTax after it put me into a multi-year audit cycle. I was also paying for maximally upgraded plan with all insurance and everything.

I’m a VSCode user interested in exploring eMacs as a Python IDE: does anyone have any recommendations for things I would need beyond a basic config?

I don’t agree that is the only problem they solve, but assuming arguendo all an NFT did was solve the problem of trust, then that alone makes them more intrinsically valuable than dog shit. I mean I think HN has really lost the forest for the trees when it comes to NFTs.
