If the "fix" results in less profit, then sure no one will get promoted for this. So no motivation to fix.
$85K is the sticker price at Columbia. Very few people actually pay that much, let alone take out loans for 500K.

Sad how fake info is the top thread at HN. In particular Columbia will never make you take out loans: https://cc-seas.financialaid.columbia.edu/how/aid/works.

The kind of people who would get zero aid from Columbia would be very unlikely to be taking out loans to begin with.
Went to the mall. Bought a remote control car for $5 and a bunch of those crappy army men toys for $0.50.

Built some fortresses with jenga blocks, guarded by the army men, and smashed it with the RC. One day the RC will break, and I'll salvage the innards and power another toy with it.

After destroying the fortress, me and the toddler sat for peace negotiations with a cup of imaginary tea. He agreed for peace in exchange for being allowed to bring two (non-electronic) vehicles into the bath tub. Then we flipped over the table in agreement.

May buy more RCs and jenga blocks tonight, as well as some of those star night lights. If anyone knows where I can get a RC sized spider for $5, I'll be grateful.
I wonder if fake bot detectors can distinguish between any Google IP like GCP instances (i.e. do they simply check the ASN) or crawler specific IPs

Or maybe google crawler also runs on GCP and it's indistinguishable from regular $5 compute users
Tuition in many colleges is over 80k usd/year.
I guess when I say "lost value" I meant in terms of the degree recipient being able to capture the value they can provide.

I agree there's a lot of value which could be provided -- but someone still needs to employ those talented individuals and provide them with the infrastructure necessary to facilitate them doing "their job".
That's not how coups work. Once in power the new regime changed the Constitution. Think of it as "pulling up the ladder" behind them.
This is true of regular advertising too: many people think they're immune to it. Corporations wouldn't spend billions if it wasn't effective.

That being said, I tend to agree with you in the sense that I never buy the obscure products that are recommended to me on FB/Google.

On the other hand, I think paying YouTubers to promote products is super effective. People are extremely receptive to influencers recommending products, esp. when it doesn't seem like advertising.
Isn't this mostly true? The net present value of a college degree is estimated to be around half a million dollars. He also stops short of saying that you get the aforementioned benefits with any degree.
The phrase for this is NUMA, and NUMA scheduling is the term for scheduling that accounts for it. Mostly, it avoids moving threads between different NUMA domains.
The solution given is to create cheap public universities, not do nothing. It would bring prices down instead of up... which is what doling out pallets of money does.
Fair question. There are some other newsletters that have links... I don't know of any who summarize the content into bite-sized but reasonably comprehensive snippets. Those summaries, as well as the curation itself, are where the value is IMO. I'm a professional writer and it takes quite a while to put it together each week. Might also be worth nothing that much of what I find never makes it to r/Archaeology (until I post it there in my weekly roundup).
I bet it is one of a kind. What kind of person watches Predator 146 times in a row?

Thx for the heads up, OP.
While the research appears well-considered and the article does indeed appear to make a valid conjecture, I'm a bit put off by the fact that the very first example of simplified "legalese" (re: severance payments, in the introduction) loses quite a bit of fidelity compared to the original. It even adds some major points for potential litigation due to ambiguous verbiage.

Rephrased, even the PIs seem to have trouble parsing legalese. That doesn't invalidate the conclusion of the research, but it does highlight the need for some additional peer review.
A crypto hawk that is pre declaring his candidacy for president of US.
He is so right we (US) are not working together, combined. I find it interesting that the only websites that mention his business are race based (ie,https://theblackwallsttimes.com/2022/06/21/black-owned-tech-..., https://www.blackbusiness.com/2022/06/isaac-barnes-black-ent..., etc) but i guess thats unfortunately how it is. Further, I am unable to find the contract on defense.gov but it looks like this was likely awarded a bit ago.

That might have been true in some cases, but vodka wasn't super popular in Serbia. At the time they would have been been more likely to barter homebrew rakija or smuggled cigarettes. People who could also switched to using Deutschmarks or Swiss Francs.
I'm amazed at how well the results work, and how easy he makes it look. This is a classic example of how something can seem obvious in retrospect, yet wasn't.

This could easily be scaled up or down to any size desired. It might even be able to work on a protractor.
I strongly (but politely) disagree.

While I agree that it's better to have notes than not to have them, I think putting some effort into their structure is a big deal. 100 pages is not a lot of notes. At that scale, you can still comfortabley ctrl+f a google doc if you like.

But over the course of your career, I suspect you'll keep a lot more notes than that. I have a personal wiki with around 3000 pages of notes, and I'm just a beginner. I think it's important to optimize your notes for retrieving information that you only partly remember. I think that formatting and the SRP are just as important to docs as code.

34yo and also around 8 minutes.

Though, sheepishly, I wouldn't have even mustered the energy had I not seen that someone's kid solved it in two minutes.
I saw that it was supposedly fixed a while ago but as of this year I can confirm that Steam, Spotify, Telegram, Discord, and VS code do not DPI scale properly.

The most offensive one is that Telegram _used_ to scale properly and somehow they broke it about a year ago. GTK also still does not support fractional scailing despite the majority of monitors being sold right now are optimal at 125% or 150%.
Most of my desktops run KDE on Wayland - it runs pretty well, especially latest version. All Intel or AMD GPUs - no nVidia though so can't talk about that part - however I have heard it is very usable.

X11 apps like VLC run with fuzzy fonts though - Plasma 5.26 is going to address that to some extent. Then I would have no reason to run anything X11.

VSCode needs electron switches to use Wayland but works fine after you do that. Firefox on Arch at least needed MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 but works really well after you do that.
> but you have a significant number of people who think that you can simply "QE" a lot money (40% of all existing etc) and not have significant inflation,

You can, if the underlying conditions would, with a neutral policy, produce a significant-enough deflation. We’ve pretty much demonstrated that.

OTOH, if you have something like the COVID emergency and associated controls, that results in a rapid snap-back of the underlying conditions rather than the more common gradual adjustment, when you are geared to offset massive deflation, you get inflation until you adjust the monetary policy dials again.
As a lifelong fan of LOTR, I'm having a lot of fun with this show. I don't really see why people dislike it so much. This show tells a story already known for decades. It's not meant to have hairpin twists every episode. The fun comes from the production, the interpretation of the characters, the gorgeous backdrops. All of which I enjoyed tremendously so far.

At least for me, Tolkien's work was always a slower pace, at times almost medidative experience. It's got suspense and action, but also a depiction of melancholy and beauty unlike anything else. And I feel the show is using these qualities well.

The dialogue, criticized by many, is actually very feasible and for the most part fits LOTR well (except a couple of infractions). Yes it's geeky, and sometimes unnecessarily heavy handed. Welcome to Middle Earth! That's part of the charm, and always has been, especially when something truly beautiful is being said.

I really don't know what expectations everyone had for this show, maybe a GOT clone, which thankfully it is not. Personally I feel like it was made for Tolkien fans like myself. I just hope they don't screw it up going forward.

What? BMW actually has a superior and far more usable infotainment system than Porsche, and they're public. I don't see your point.

I agree Porsche doesn't need this, and their brand is more than fine as it is. But talking about the Teslafication of cars as it relates to being public or not is confusing to me.
>programming is applied mathematics

You may want to rethink this one
We have been considering that possibility in the literature on the economics of advertising since the 1950’s or 1960’s, if not earlier. If you want a survey of this and other early ideas in the literature, see Kyle Bagwell’s contribution to the handbook of industrial organization, vol 3 (2007 or so).
The reasons range from "in the 'original' version Arielle was white' to pseudo scientific "in deep sea isn't enough light to get a dark skin"
IIUC, unless you can reference particular law that says they can't... In general, yes. It's private property and they control access to it. The default legal position is that a stranger can be removed from private property for any reason and no reason (including but not limited to: "We're closed," "You are disrupting my customers," "we have a dress / hygiene code and you violate it," and "You insulted my family at a dinner party last week and so your business is no longer welcome here. Ever.")

There are some very specific, generally narrow carve-outs in the law to that otherwise-default policy (in particular, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act).

The point is: we needed all these laws on the books because the default is right to refuse service. We didn't have to pass laws that said "A business may refuse service if etc. etc.". That was assumed.

(The back-stop to this kind of behavior from a business is, in general, market competition; if there are enough people in town who want to talk about the ideas Hitler had with a nice, warm latte in hand, and Starbucks is telling them no, someone else opens a discourse-friendly coffee shop and gets that business. Or they end up going under because that business isn't enough to sustain a coffee shop and such talk drives away the remaining bulk of paying customers that could keep such a venture afloat. It's the American Dream in action.)
Very true. That’s part of my point. It’s a hard question! It is not correct to assume that advertising works. We don’t know.
Please stop submitting this drivel, I saw the same link earlier today. If you actually have something worthwhile and truly Surreal, consider opening with a written blog post rather than low-effort YT spam. So people's time isn't wasted watching a crappy video?

The Power of a Cosmic Perspective
Long, readable phrases (in literature, anyway) tend to be made up of independent clauses with semicolons, and are perfectly understandable (to me, anyway). I sometimes prefer long sentences in some forms of literature - short sentences can be choppy and halting.

"He was indistinctly conscious that the pardon of this priest was the greatest assault and the most formidable attack which had moved him yet; that his obduracy was finally settled if he resisted this clemency; that if he yielded, he should be obliged to renounce that hatred with which the actions of other men had filled his soul through so many years, and which pleased him; that this time it was necessary to conquer or to be conquered; and that a struggle, a colossal and final struggle, had been begun between his viciousness and the goodness of that man." (Les Miserables, Hapgood translation)

Note that this is also probably easier to understand in context - standalone, I can see how it could be a bit confusing.
They are in a truly capricious position though.

I'm a pretty advanced-level Photoshop user and I'm almost fine with Photopea except for the speed and general annoyance of it being a web-app -- if it were a desktop app I'd probably be fine with it.

Which is to say, I'd be fine with a $10 product vs. a $1000 one. In the same way that some professional 3d designers I know switched from Maya/c4d to the free Blender and are fine with it (except for the renderer, we still don't have a really good industry-grade GPU-accelerated renderer).

Point being that a compelling alternative can be made by a small, focused team in this day and age and offered at a pricepoint that big companies cannot compete with. I fully expect Penpot to take over Figma very soon, AfterEffects will be interesting because really what makes AE what it is is not necessarily AE itself but the killer RedGiant&VideoCopilot plugins so it is equally as vulnerable. There's really no telling where Adobe will be in another 5 years. I would not be surprised if it's 1/10th its current size; in fact I think it is the likely possibility..
Reasonable people can disagree on whether retroactively enforcing a very broadly written legalistic TOS is sufficiently similar to editing a newspaper to qualify as editorial control (no sarcasm).

My point was to the question (paraphrasing) - how can the courts rule that corporations are entitled to opinions expressed via donations but then take away their right to express opinions through moderation?

This court’s answer, which I find entirely plausible, is (paraphrasing) that the opinions tech platforms express through moderation at least do not constitute a real coherent viewpoint. Instead they are haphazard and fairly random responses to stimuli, for example, they are sometimes the side effects of algorithms designed primarily to promote engagement, and they are sometimes the result of pressure from members of Congress or other politicians, and they are sometimes the result of attempts to mitigate bad PR. I think the court is essentially saying something most people can largely sympathize with: that Facebook and YouTube don’t actually have anything resembling a genuine point of view, they are just out for their own growth and profit, and are claiming editorial coherence right now because it suits them, but will say the opposite tomorrow when they need a different legal shelter in a different court case.

CBS News tried to make money but there is no question the driving force of that division was to gather and present accurate news of some high minded importance. 60 Minutes had its flaws but it had miles more integrity than say Facebook. At what point are we going to allow just any old company to claim to be essentially a journalistic enterprise? Do you genuinely believe Facebook has a point of view to justify its moderation? If so, what is it?
Credential inflation is desirable for governments because being enrolled in some kind of tertiary program suppresses the unemployment numbers. If you can learn a skill that makes getting hired easier, all the better!

We won't see widespread de-escalation of credentials until there are labor shortages, at which point it's no longer in anyone's interest to keep potential workers sidelined in school.

The other factor is that roads simply cannot handle the volume of people that trains can. One subway train can easily result in hundreds of cars not being on the road.

The original story from Hand Christian Andersen only says she has blue eyes and a clear skin, the rest is pure Disney fiction or a casting choice so to say.
Disney even copied the look of Alyssa Milano without consent.

Not to mention the change of the ending to a happy ending.
Funny. The first thing you have to learn when working at any company is to unlearn everything you were taught about writing in college.

In terms of learning “critical thinking”, it’s just selection bias.

Most smart people go to college and people misattribute the intelligence as somehow being a product of the college. No, it’s not.
+1

This was my take as well.

The amplification of toxicity is notable across forums, and yes it does impact and shutdown valid discussions.
No, it isn't. The article I directly linked to has the most expensive colleges in the US, and none are over 80k a year. And that's the vanishingly small minority; the largest colleges in the US are in-state schools with large populations paying (generally) under ~10k/year. For my state (NY, an expensive one), it's almost exactly 10k[1]. Even for out-of-state, it's well under half of 80k (with everything included, not just tuition).

I am sorry, I don't understand whas is it you believe - if you agree part 1 is true, and class system will be back, how can you disbelieve that Feudalism will be back?

A class system is the defining feature of feudalism - if you are born into a class and may never escape, and if higher classes have more legal priviliges than you do, thats no longer capitalism we know and love/hate/tolerate.
But it's not "real power", it's theoretical power.

The crown rarely if ever exerts such powers, and on that rare occasion it does so on the advice of the parliment.

Technically such a power exists, but calling it "real" is silly.

Look at the countries of the Commonwealth. The crown appoints a governor general based on the recommendation of the prime minister. This person acts in a ceremonial capacity, and on behalf of the crown. The handful of times a GG has actually acted have been within the interests of the country, have had little to no input from the crown, and are decades apart.
If you know what line of code I should change, especially on a code base I'm unfamiliar with, just tell me. If you're going to have to do as much work as I am going to have to to figure it out, then you should probably leave it up to me (given the apparent power dynamic, it's safe to assume that your time is more expensive than mine).

In complex unfamiliar code bases especially, finding the line of code can easily be 95% of the work. Not communicating that information is making the task you are asking an order of magnitude harder for no reason.

Communicating what you already know (or even just suspect) isn't micromanaging. Micromanaging would be saying something like "and if it turns out I'm wrong and you need to change some other line of code instead, you need to come ask permission".
Really fun game! I'd love more :)

SEIZURE WARNING: Once you win, there is a lot of flickering.
I find your post and the TFA difficult to read quickly. When I read, I don't consciously read every single word. I depend on recognizing the shapes of words, and the organization of those shapes with respect to each other. Without the normal capitalization, the pattern recognition becomes broken, so it takes longer to read, and causes more stress. I'm sure with enough time and practice, the brain can be trained to read without capitalization. But it is not the norm right now so it's harder.
This has been tried repeatedly, and it turns out nobody likes it. People either self-segregate into echo chambers following very simple patterns of assortativity, or complain about being 'shadowbanned' if they can't reach the audience they want to.

There are a few different motivations for social communication, both cooperative and antagonistic. People often want to be able to communicate freely with their peers and exclude non-members of their peer group (socially, algorithmically, or by fiat), but sometimes also to be able to push into and perhaps take over network territory of rival groups or that they consider should be common.

Thank you for responding with the actual number.

Yes: even 30k in debt can be crippling, and there is a complex of macroeconomic pressures (like liberal arts jobs concentrating in HCOL areas) that make getting out from under that debt much more difficult than it otherwise would be.

That being said, the solution is not to disincentivize people from getting liberal arts degrees. It's to just make college cheaper, the way every other developed nation does, and to ensure ample non-undergraduate career paths for anybody who is merely going to college because they're told "it's the thing to do."
