Fear is the most powerful tool that any government has to expand their powers. Or put optimistically: a common enemy has historically been the most effective way to unite a people.

Morally it's hard to counter public policy that claims to make you safer because you're asking someone to not care about the safety of "our children".

Biologically asking someone to not be afraid is asking them to use rational thought to counter a hard coded evolutionary mechanism.

The existence of government at all is dependent and predicated on fear. If we don't fear anarchy and foreign powers, we won't see a need for government.

Fear for our lives and fear for our souls are what fuels the two largest organisations on the planet.

Lieberman is doing a clumsy job of using a well honed tool to try to expand government power. It is pathetic in it's simplicity and predictability and incredible that he can't see the political parallels between this and tagging books as "dangerous".

But I don't think Joe is a stupid man. I think he is being controlled by powerful forces. Through our HN, Reddit, slashdot and techmeme lenses we see the Internet and it's disruption at a micro level. We forget the massive macro disruption that is occurring and that is destroying enormous old profitable businesses.

If you are the CEO of a record label, film studio, newspaper conglomerate or book publisher you are scared out of your wits because a massive, and possibly the only competitive barrier to entry has fallen: distribution. Your printing presses, distribution centers, record stores and logging companies aren't needed by a competitor. Information distribution has become free.

Incumbents can't compete with the likes of Google, Amazon and Apple because they've sucked up all the hot tech talent and startups are consuming the rest. So the only strategy left is to disrupt the distribution medium. Break the Internet - or at least sieze control of it and regulate yourself back into a competitive position.

There is enormous pressure on our senators and congressmen to use any excuse they can to regulate the Internet. Creating a non-level playing field is the only bullet many old world businesses have left to fight the innovators and the only politically acceptable excuse is fear.

Any politician who wants to limit the freedom of communication on the Internet has declared themselves disingenuous at best.

Depending on where you live... go to startup socializing events -- StartupDrinks, for example. Anything where you can mean people and hear about things, get involved in things and help people out.

So simply... meet people.

Likewise for me - after dealing with my in-laws and their insufferable Windows machine, I bought them a Mac mini last year. To justify putting them through that change I told them it would be easier for me to fix it for them since I could more easily remote in from my Mac at home.

In reality I never set up remote access because I haven't needed to. They love the thing and have never had trouble with it now.
This is one of the lamest "things" on HN/the Internet in a while.

You have one guy who says he doesn't like Scala, provides almost no actual reasons apart from hand waving, and pretty much says he's never actually used it for anything. He then points to a language which has zero traction, and will never gain any, as his ideal language.

That's great. It really is. So this guy doesn't want to use Scala. That's good for him. Why do you care?

If this was an interesting analysis of the language, or the libraries, or some actual code, that would be something to talk about. But it's more a whiny "why are all you guys switching to Scala! I don't like it! Come back!" pseudo-"debate" than anything else.

It's not what your degree makes of you, but what you make of your degree.

If you are expecting your degree to set you up to succeed, it won't.

Like anything you spend time on it will give you time to hone your craft.

Having tech skills is self-learnable if you already know how. Learning Business skills might be worth focussing on.

You don't ever stop learning. When you do, you are dead in the water. Working on a mindset like this every day has been far more valuable for me.
I would love if the United States modified and did this. Do the research on what majors pay and lead to what outcomes - and then shove those results in high school senior's faces often (instead of forcing the majors closed).
Sounds like you may need to find a partner or mentor that's more skilled in whatever skill you're lacking in. Having a partner makes a world of a difference and can help motivate you when things start to get questionable or look bleak.

I would like to see the US government stop subsidizing majors and colleges that don't get results for their graduates.

Now there arises the problem of inadequate funding for the liberal arts majors. But as it is way too many people major in liberal arts and other impractical subjects. Lib arts should be a highly selective group, limited to scholarship recipients and any rich kid whose family has the money.

Treating all majors the same really hurts kids who come from working class backgrounds and might not know how society really works. Rarely will you be rewarded for learning for learning's sake. Major in engineering, accounting, nursing, etc. Then your future is pretty solid. Let's stop kidding ourselves about how our society values education.

Since you plan on becoming an attorney, you could work with a law firm that specializes in helping the startup industry. You should reach out to Scott Edward Walker, @ScottEdWalker, at http://walkercorporatelaw.com/ and introduce yourself.

I follow him on twitter and he has a number informative videos on the net regarding startups and more. He also maintains a blog on his website.

If you started your law career helping startups then an opportunity to transition to the startup side might present itself. It is a simple matter of creating opportunities for yourself by positioning yourself strategically.

The race to create the world’s first, working, circular wave pool
This discussion reveals one of the problems with our system of higher education: for some people it's one thing, for others it's something else.

Colleges are like companies that are trying to do two very different things at once: broad education and job training.

In the world of startups we know what to do when that happens: Choose one direction and go with it, stop trying to be all things to all people. Blended business models rarely work.

My guess is that something similar will eventually happen in education. Some institutions will specialize in getting you a paycheck and others will specialize in broader education.

I view purely academic coursework in the same category as other luxury goods: it's something some people find fun and exciting and if they want to pay for it, so be it, but society should not foot the bill.

Whereas practical "get a job" coursework I view as something that just about everybody needs and maybe there's a good argument for public subsidies or other policies that encourage it.
This sort of thing only leads to "bubbles" in certain fields, actually lowering the value of the degree and making it harder to find a job once you graduate.

It doesn't get much more short-sighted than this. What happens in 20 years if engineers are everywhere and can't get work?

Instead, let's make liberal arts degrees cheaper. There's no reason why a Philosophy or English degree needs to cost 15k+ a year. It's been said before, and it needs said again: a liberal arts education is just as valuable today as it was 300 years ago. The current problem is one of cost, not of value.

I think that's backwards. Make Science/Engineering cheaper and liberal arts more expensive... arts degrees should be considered luxury items: nice to have but not strictly necessary. I think many people would be better off not going to University than get an arts degree, whereas there is huge societal benefit to pushing out more scientists and engineers.

Liberal arts should exist, just at a much smaller (frankly, more reasonable wrt actual demand) scale.
I've wondered how necessary it is for colleges to force a $50k tuition on students. Where does the money actually go? I'm skeptical. The administration at university just seems like one big, disgusting fraud.

I don't think you can count Liberal arts as "impractical" subjects. They may not be "job oriented" but I believe having a foundation in the liberal arts does allow for perhaps a broader education than focusing on a very narrow (albeit deep) technical field from a young age. Maybe some people are better suited to be generalists as opposed to specialists? I don't think restricting a Liberal Arts education for "those who can pay" is a good idea.

In Japan, some companies (especially in banking) hire people to work as generalists. They tend to rotate through a variety of roles as their career progresses. I don't think it is the most efficient allocation of resources, but it does make for employees who have a wider view of the business, and more importantly a network and contacts across a variety of fields.

Like most people commenting here, I have a very specialized technical education (Comp Sci major), but I actually wonder if my education could have been a little broader. I learnt most of what I know at work anyway!!

This is my favorite quote:

"Many university professors in China are unhappy with the Ministry of Education’s move"

The author goes on to make a weak argument about demand in distant future, but we all know which professors are upset, those that teach subjects which do not generate jobs for their students. (Most likely they are there teaching because they themselves couldn't get jobs in their field)

*I realize that this is a harsh view, but it is worth mentioning even though it is a little extreme.
Strings with interpolation look different in ES6. They don't just look like string literals. You can easily see where the variable substitutions happen.

Also, I don't know what your argument about PHP is all about. I don't agree with the idea that string interpolation is going to lead to people writing code vulnerable to SQL injection, for example. You can just as easily write "select * from foo where name=\"" + name + "\"" as `select * from foo where name="${name}"`.
Senator Lieberman's Internet policy might be a little goofy, but I'm pretty sure you don't need to educate him about the Holocaust.
Yeah, all those arts graduates filling prisons with dissidents. There are already calls in the comments for a similar system in other countries. Why should university be about getting a job? Shouldn't university be about learning, and being recognised for learning. A history major or a poetry degree may not be the best way to get a job but I would prefer to live in a society with poets and historians.

Jobless, educated young people are copping a lot of flak from the media everywhere at the moment. They are a drain on the economy, "they are the 99%", they are having Arab springs where spring lasts all year, they are making molotovs in Greece. They are agents for changing society.

The underlying current of this idea in education is that we should all be happy little workers. Universities have been commercialised away from being the places that brought about the Enlightenment to places for turning out more advanced labourers. Universities are becoming (some have already become) an extension of the standard school system.

I found university to be a cacophony of ideas and viewpoints that until that point I had never really experienced. It introduced me to thoughts and ideas I may have never of experienced if I stayed in a small country town. Degree-mills rarely ever have this sort of environment and if all universities are reduced to churning out technical apprentices the world will be a worse place for it.
