Since the times of the introduction of cameras, it has always been suggested by experts that you have to get the best lens camera you can afford. Later getting the best camera body was more of the emphasis laid towards to make your gear look cool. But one cannot deny that the quality of the camera lens crucially affects the image quality.

Not that you've been listening, but I'm saying that the risk to others posed by cyclists and pedestrians doing the equivalent of jaywalking is minuscule compared to the dangers we as a society tolerate from cars day after day.

Making as big a deal of it as you have been is insane. Your thinking is no different than those who argue that vaccines are dangerous due to increased incidence of autism. Even _if_ it were true, its importance is still overwhelmed by the sheer number of lives saved compared to the alternative.
How about controlling college grads vs trades. I'd eat my hat if a B.A. in Lit comes anywhere close to a licensed plumber or electrician.

Funny you should mention that. In the UK, at least, women are at greater risk of death while cycling precisely because they follow this exact traffic law.

http://www.metro.co.uk/news/46427-women-cyclists-more-at-risk-of-death

And the numbers emphasize exactly the point I made earlier. Cycling is less dangerous than driving. So much so that nitpicking stupid crap like cyclists running lights with no oncoming traffic is idiotic. Even with behavior like this, they're _still_ safer than cars.

Daily, we put up with drivers who speed, talk on their cell phones, drive while drunk, tailgate, dart between lanes without signaling, roll through stop signs, pollute the air we breathe, burn through our limited reserves of fossil fuels, injure forty million people per year, and kill one and a half million people per year, and you're hung up on the, what, _tens_ of deaths caused by cyclists per year due to running red lights? If that?

While you're at it, why not join the crusade against the grave threat we face from children running with scissors?

Sure, but the argument is debt taken on via college vs economic gain over employment. There is most assuredly a non-economic value to be gained from pursuing liberal arts or whatever, but do not confuse that with being able to pay off that debt load incurred for that education.

Surprising Facts About Steve Jobs
Adjusting for society's bias towards the label helps isolate the actual effect of college.

What I would like to understand is whether college is valuable because society thinks so or is there something that college does that is unique to it. (and if the latter is true, is it worth $50k a year?)

The money saved would reduce substantially if you consider the economic cost of investing the $12500 over 30 years. My guess is the best approach would be to invest the money until the price of solar stops dropping so quickly.

Edit: I'd love to put solar in my house. We have a rebate in my country as well, but I'm sure I can use the money better in the short term, and likely end up with a more efficient setup for less money if I wait. Until then, geyser blanket, install LED's in the most-used light fittings, install a small geyser under the kitchen sink so it doesn't draw the full pipe's water just to wash dishes.
I'd suggest that the terms are contrived, rather than the concept. "Dark" is used to imply something unknown in this context, but many laymen believe "Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy" are understood quantities, since they sound as such. A more appropriate term would be "Unknown Matter" etc... but this would be far less cool sounding.
The life & times of Windows XP, the operating system that wouldn't say die.
The majority of power usage in homes is heating, cooling, cooking, refrigeration and appliances. Lighting is already falling down the list of energy usage because of more efficient lighting solutions that are already widespread. It is a total red herring to discuss the power usage of computing devices, because they already constitute a tiny minority of power consumption.

Adding battery packs significantly increase the cost of a system by an order of magnitude. These are all true but they do not factor cost into the equation. With any of these additions, solar will still be far more expensive than baseload grid power, and for most will still not negate the need for a grid connection.

All these technologies will be fantastic for remote areas to obtain a higher standard of living, but essentially have zero chance of displacing baseload grid power as the majority of power usage in urban areas.

The only way they will win out in the long run is with punitive taxation of large-scale power generation, which is essentially a political dead end for all those who try it.

It's great to be enthusiastic about solar power, I personally like solar technology and will buy when it makes sense to do so on it's own merit. But there are limitations that are very difficult to overcome.

I would guess so too, but if you don't make that claim, even the most hardcore non-conspiracy-theorist can't debunk the argument. This is my whole point, and what makes me so angry/afraid: sticking only to the plain facts, the ones that are out there in the open, that everybody agrees on, you can still show that something is horribly wrong with what our governments are doing, without assuming anything beyond those plain facts. That's pretty unique, I believe.
It's easier to write git if you have a CVS repo
to store your work in

Not to diminish your point or anything, but regarding Git, I'll just quote Linus Tolvards:

For the first 10 years of kernel maintenance, we
literally used tarballs and patches, which is a much
superior source control management system than CVS is

Basically Git started as a bunch of scripts written by Linux for dealing with "tarballs and patches" and nobody starts something like this unless there's lots of hatred involved. What you get if you're a CVS user and want something better is SVN. You get Git when you consider CVS such an abomination that you'd rather do without any existing VCS altogether.

And I really think the world needs more people like Linus, as some wheels are worth reinventing.

This is really interesting because very recently, a bunch of American solar companies joined together to sue Chinese solar companies for selling panels "below cost" (i.e. "dumping") [1].

I don't understand how that works. What is the cost they use? For industries with steep learning curves, the right strategy would be to use expected future cost as the basis for business decisions, rather than the trailing average (realized) cost, in order to build the market and more quickly progress on the learning curve.

If that's illegal (it's often used in instances I mentioned above), then I feel like progress in industries with steep learning curves will be slower, because companies will be more timid, causing the market to grow less quickly.

What is everyone's opinions here?

The data shows correlation, not causation. I can think of at least two causal explanations that would account better.

1) Children born to wealthy parents are both a) more likely to go to college because their parents can pay for it, and b) to step into high paying jobs because of their social networks than poor kids. Thus while there is correlation between college degrees and earning potential, the root cause is being born into a wealthy family.

2) Smart people are more likely to go to college than dumb people, and smart people are more likely to do well in jobs which require intelligence. Similarly, intelligence is the causal factor, not simply attending college.

College may very well be worth the money; but your statistics prove no such claim.
The startup is Nest Labs. Their product is an adaptive thermostat that learns your temperature preferences and schedule. It's much cooler (ha ha) than it sounds!

No it explicitly asks if you'd like Linkedin to search your email contacts by filling out the email address and password fields below. It pre-populates the email address from your linkedin email login address. Thus without reading what the fields are for, it's very easy to assume you've simply been logged out of Linkedin and need to re-log-in. Upon doing so Linkedin will try one time to login to your email (Gmail and other web email clients do this too -- to grab contacts from older email accounts but they don't use this phishing-style approach). If your email password happens to be your Linkedin password, Linkedin will have access to your email contacts without you realizing it. And more embarrassing: Linkedin may send an email to your contacts mentioning you (they used to do this, maybe not as much anymore). Don't you remember getting all those Linkedin invite emails from your 'friends'? how do you think those got sent? Do you really think your friends intentionally typed in your email address so Linkedin could spam you?

Wait, you don't have time for what? I worked full time + (IE overtime, IE 40-50 hour weeks), and went to school fulltime and also picked up 4.0's. The whole I can't work because I have school, or I can't go to school because I have work ordeal is lame at the most extreme levels. Deal with it. If you quit college your a fool. If you can't do both and excel at both your lazy. Get it together.
This is fantastic. Haven't looked at the solar pv for couple years. Didn't realize they have dropped so much in price.

Does anyone know the current approximate total cost (labor + material) in Northern CA? It was like $8-$10/W last I looked couple years ago. Also how easy is a DIY approach in installation?

A good point well made.

The problem is that we're all told 'go to college'.

What we're not told is 'go to college and learn a worthwhile skill'.

Personally I think the value of a college degree has dropped enormously while the cost has risen. Thus these types of calculations are going to look even skinnier 20 or 30 years down the track.

Again, I'm not agitating to not go to college, but I would counsel any college-entry age students into asking what the real-world skills they are getting, and whether it is really worth the cost of admission. Sometimes it's a binary choice - you can't work in a field without a degree. In other cases, it's much less cut and dried.

This particularly applies to higher degrees, where the marginal benefit of each additional qualification drops lower and lower.
No one has ever suggested throwing out all other power generations in favour of only one renewable method. Power storage is relatively easy too, even on huge scales. Look at the way compressed air can be stored in caves or pumping water into hydro dams for some large scale examples of power storage that exist right now. Hydroelectric power provides a huge amount of baseload for some regions already. Also gas , biomass and geothermal work perfectly well at night (when load is much lower because industrial users use far more power).

It is unlikely the warranties would pay for that, the manufacturers couldnt afford to basically replace panels for free.
But in both of those points, isn't it possible that going to college could 1) improve your social network and 2) help you raise your intelligence? Same outcome.

Just because something isn't causal doesn't mean the statistics are worthless.
And the comment from Kstenerud about contact networks is probably the most important thing anyone will ever tell you. Without this, your worthless. Well, unless you are a true renegade in tech. But web designing... come on. You are competing with a zillion other people, aren't prototyping hardware, inventing anything (hardware/software/anything else), so it's more about networking, schooling, etc than anything else!
"One of the beauties of the human experience is that we can overcome our genetic "switches" to derive a more positive experience.

You're not a slave to your instincts unless you want to be."

That's old tabula rasa thinking - it's false. Tell that to someone who has fallen in love (another example of this type of genetically-programmed behavior) or who has bonded normally with their child. They'll laugh you out of the room. They would, in a heartbeat, throw you and themselves under a bus to save their loved one(s). They are slaves to their instincts.

Until the "switches" turn on, few (in modern society at least) realize/believe the switches are there! It isn't easy to counteract something internal that you have no belief in and have not experienced before. And it may be best (for the other, certainly) not to try.

Some say, for example, that romantic love isn't real. But romantic love is automatic and non-participatory: that is, your conscious self doesn't do the decision-making. And when you fall in love, every conscious system in your brain will be suborned to justify your automatic genetically-programmed behavior. So much for "free will!"

There are many instances where a parent does not bond with a child - they will not be protective or nurturing. In extreme instances they may kill the child. But none of this is normal or common.
The elderly might want it that high, I suppose?

CLOS is perhaps more powerful, but the whole generic function thing is more awkward than object based dispatching. It is perhaps more powerful as it allows arbitrary overloading, but it was a pain. And I wrote a really big CLOS program: The GOAL compiler.
I'm sorry if I made it seem like I believe the statistics are worthless. I merely wanted to show that they don't prove that a college degree is "really, really worth it."
Won't it take a very long time for the high school graduate to even reach $100,000 in his investment account, assuming he doesn't win a lottery?

If the high school graduate is contributing some monthly amount to an investment account, then the college-educated graduate could also invest at the same rate, making the difference in gains greater again. On top of that, a college graduate has the potential to invest an greater amount than the high school graduate based on the difference in income.

A Fun Little JSON Murder Mystery With IE 9
You'll generally find the B.A. in Lit doesn't like 'the market'.

Of course, the simple explanation for that is 'the market doesn't like them', so it's mutual dislike.

This is why you'll generally find the largest agitators for changes away from market based economies towards controlled economies (read : more 'fair') are people with the most worthless qualifications. Show me someone who likes socialism and I'll show you someone who studied a (monetary) value-less qualification at university.

Of course, it's a crying shame that poets get paid a fraction of reality TV stars, but that's just a reflection of what society values more.

And that's why plumbers make so much money, because a flushing toilet is about the most valuable thing in society, especially when yours isn't.
2 very capable, committed, and well known (in the front end web development community) people. Sounds great to me.
This sounds like a perfect startup idea: take one ignored segment that has an abnormally high amount of value, disrupt it, profit! I love it.

However, it cuts both ways, people don't have obvious, specific problems with their thermostat (for the most part). It's a thing, it came with the house, it turns heat on and off, whatever. Why do I need to spend $250 on it? The very first thing (or maybe second, after the picture of the Nest) on the web site should be "See how much you can save!" with some guesstimates price-savings based on the state you're in, and when it will pay for itself. Or, if it doesn't pay for itself, how much fossil fuels/CO2 it saves, and what that translates to in conceivable units ("that's like saving 30 trees a year!").

Make it a product that provides an obvious, specific solution to a problem you didn't know you had. Right now, it looks like a luxury item for luxury people, and that's not the economy we're currently in.
