It is common to have adjustable rates in Canada, while the standard in USA is fixed rates.

So in these times where rates go up, it makes Canadian homeowners suddenly have to pay more for their houses they're already living in.
There actually was a "Web 3.0" about the semantic web popularized by Tim Berners Lee that predates the whole blockchain web3. At the end of the day it's all buzzword marketing thou isn't it..

You are missing the worst part. There is no policy to actually fix the problem. Just paying off some debt now won't stop the next generation from taking out the same loans.

I’ve used AutoKeras (one of the frameworks he mentions in the article) and as a machine learning amateur it was super helpful. It still has taken a lot of work to optimize for my use case, but it was nice to get decent results nearly “out-of-the-box.”
It’s a standard and it’s similar to a naming convention, but instead applied to class structures.

Instead of extending/implementing some strange, third-party classes, you create a POJO (plain old java object) and you add getters and setters for the fields you want to make externally reachable.

Now tools that don’t know anything about your code can use them through reflection based on these conventions, this is how dependency injection, JPA, every Java EE/Spring thing operate.
I wonder if you’re encountering MacOS’ Gatekeeper malware checking being slow to communicate with Apple’s servers. My understanding is it checks the app every time you launch.
> No, you are completely and utterly wrong on that. This is more of the same intellectually lazy assumptions, please stop this.

Then can you explain what was biased about an admissions process that does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, and other identity characteristics, if it wasn't the demographics of the student body? It's still vague how a race-agnostic admissions process would be biased.

> The fact is, they already cannot accepts all students who pass based on academic merit alone. Your chart even demonstrates that is the case with Harvard, the issue is explicitly not that racial makeup is being considered over academic achievement.

I'm not sure how one arrives at this conclusion. An African American student in the 4th decile (as in, is scoring above 40% of students and below 60% of students) has the same chances at admission at an Asian student in the top decile. Even at that top of the academic performance an Asian applicant has a ~15% chance at admission while an African American student at the same academic performance has nearly a 60% chance at admission. There is nowhere near equal chances at admission between racial groups at the same academic performance.

The fact that they have many more qualified applicants doesn't make their admission practices any less discriminatory. If I have 500 qualified white applicants and 5,000 qualified Asian applicants and I admit 100 whites and 100 Asians have I not discriminated against Asians? Just because I'm picking both from the same qualified pool doesn't change the fact that I'm making a 10x disparity favoring whites.

> Russia is run by ethnofascists

Regarding the "ethno" part, do you see evidence of this? Russia is quite diverse in terms of ethnic/cultural groups. The richest woman there is ethnically Korean, for just one example. And other groups like Jewish, Armenian, Tartar, Chechen etc play important roles in government, biz and cultural life there.

No, the integrity is within the device. You load the small (64k) apps onto the key and the content of the apps with the unique key for the device can be used by the app to perform cryptography and their integrity can be audited. This is similar to JavaCard with cryptographic integrity of the applets. Read more at: https://github.com/tillitis/tillitis-key1/blob/main/doc/syst...

I did this a few times on craigslist a long time ago. I went to thrift stores and took pictures of stuff on the shelves, listed them for sale at a decent markup and when people wanted them I went and bought them. If it was already sold, I would tell them they just missed it. It ended up being not worth the effort for me, but it was fun for a few weeks.
It's not a solution, it's a different game altogether.
I fully agree with this. I'd add fixing interest on it. Variable interest rates just shouldn't exist.
> Surely it would be much cheaper to just have a regular guy on a moped in that case?

There are two reasons why it makes sense economically:

- to deliver by moped you need to live in a reasonable commuting distance to the place where you are delivering. The robot driver can operate from a much lower cost of living area, or even a different lower cost country.

- even if you don’t do that and your drivers all operate from a high cost of living area the idea is that your software engineers will keep updating the software and you need less and less human supervision.

The first day maybe all your robots are remotely operated 100%. A month later you have a model to drive the robots automatically on the simple straight bits. What you can do then is to have a driver operate maybe two robots. When one finishes with the simple task it can do on its own it waits for the operator.

The more fully autonomous you can make the software the more robots a single operator can operate at a time, and the beter your margins will ve. This way your level of autonomy is not a binary perfect or nothing proposition but a sliding scale where as you get better you earn more money.

Instead of income based repayment, I would rather see very low interest rates on student loans (like 1.5%). That way everyone pays the full amount they borrow, there is still incentive to repay promptly, borrow less, earn a higher wage, and those with low income can at least pay off the loan interest so their loan does not balloon. And it's simpler.

Another thought I had (not completely fleshed out)... Federal student loans could help cap tuition costs somewhat like medicaid/medicare. The fed offers a fixed amount per semester (say $4k) to each student. The catch is that a uni can only accept fed loans if their tuition is fixed at the cap. (i believe this is how medicare negotiates reasonable prices for meds - "if you want to accept medicare here is what we will pay for Rx, and it's all or nothing").
The fact that the debate has remained on this topic is exactly the political division desired.

It’s correct that the relief will do nothing to solve the overall problem.

It’s also correct that it’s an unabashed vote buying scam that probably shouldn’t even be legal.

But it’s also correct that the student loan structure is truly predatory.

This entire conversation needs to shift from paid relief to “0% interest student loans” or fixed interest (borrow 100k and you will pay back 130k) and/or a pre-income tax option to pay back loans faster akin to a 401k.

The way that interest builds on deferrals for these unforgivable loans is truly nuts based on the people I’ve talked to. Unless there’s a permanent way to do that, it’s all political theater.
Exactly. One man's bad faith actor is another's torchbearer. I personally know some reasonable people who would call AOC a bad faith actor, and also some other reasonable people who would call Tom Cotton a bad faith actor; it's glib to say that they are easily identifiable and widely agreed upon as such.

Point 2 is interesting, because one of the reason that foreign-manufactured TVs came to prominence is because they were cheap enough + reliable enough that TVs could functionally be a disposable good. Another is that right during the late 80s/early 90s is when TVs started showing substantial improvements every ~5 years, whereas things were more static in the early 80s and before, which meant that instead of repairing an old TV, you could buy a new one that was substantially better than your old one.

Basically the TV market turned from being similar to the car market to the computer market.

Interestingly, I think we may be heading back in some ways, as the improvements/"upgrades" on TVs are slowing down, and there's also a growing anti-waste movement + a squeezed poor/lower class. I wouldn't be surprised if TV repair makes a comeback.

(My grandfather repaired TVs.)
I gave Heaps a try because I wanted an engine that wasn't tied to any specific editor but ultimately gave up on it. I put in a few weekends of effort but the documentation was just way too minimal [0] and turns out it can't really target mobile platforms out of the box [1]. Even the main developer apparently just outsources mobile ports to another company.

I buy physical copies of two books for each language I work with:

- The <Language> Language book
- Effective <Language> book, if I actually start using the language professionally

For example, for JavaScript, this was "Eloquent JavaScript" and "JavaScript: the good parts".

I find that the "The <Language> Language" books are of exceptional quality and have a very long shelf-life. They go in depth into the design of the language, decisions made, and provide high-quality, idiomatic code examples that you just cannot reliably find on the internet. You cannot know what good Java/Python/Ruby/Rust code looks like while you're learning the language.
It's a thought experiment to try and point out the negative aspects of the current situation that could resonate with any reader
Why should a college education take 10-15 years to pay off though?
I visited Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hiroshima. I found Tokyo unpleasant. There is very little greenery and many of the so called rivers are actually lined in concrete. Commercial districts are packed with people.

Hiroshima was much more pleasant. There are walking paths, greenery, and even restaurants along the river. Kyoto was closer to Hiroshima, with areas with wide set back streets, not to mention forests.

There are a few parks in Tokyo but I had to travel to them but also pay to enter them! The unspoken trade off people who advocate for dense urban development fail to mention is the elimination of private green spaces for most people.
This article is bad to the point of laughter. While it starts out talking about economics, the real point is to rail against other programs that aren't engineering, calling them worthless. Innovation doesn't just come from engineers. That point is laughable. On top of that, calling other degrees worthless just because their field doesn't pay well is also indicative of other problems in the system. For example, my wife is a stage manager for multiple ballet companies. She's quite successful in the field. It doesn't pay well, but she's needed to do the productions. Or think about an editor who went to school for english. They can get a job out of college, but only around 30k and can barely make ends meet. But saying they aren't innovative or pushing their fields because they don't scam VC's for money for their crypto app is silly and diminishing the impact and importance of the arts on our lives. And maybe if more people changes their view and saw how impactful the arts are, my wife might be paid a bit more and can more easily pay off her degree.
I misspoke above - they did mention shelling offhand and in the abstract but they made zero comment about:

* whom they thought was responsible.

* any attempts they made to discover who was responsible.

* any evidence they had seen, not seen, asked for or not been given access to.

If their genuine, honest conclusion was "we are still not sure who did it" then the appropriate response would be to admit that and to lay out the evidence they had seen.

For whatever reason they chose to boil their assessment down to "shelling happened" and avoid pointing fingers.

I can see why Russia interpreted that as a green light to shell Pivdennoukrainsk.
What you're describing is an interesting outcome of chess engines. I assume that the game at the top of the heap, at the grandmaster level, has certainly become dull and void of creativity, as the article describes. But for us mere mortals, I wonder if the game of chess has become more exciting, as the concepts you can reach now were just not achievable for amateurs studying from books, as in the old days.

The game of chess has no doubt changed because of chess engines. And maybe for the negative at the top end. But I think you're right, it's probably a lot more positive change in the middle. I have long since known that I am not capable of beating a chess engine in regular play, but that doesn't mean I don't benefit from the loss.
I agree. Most people could not get into the area of "death risk".

I am more interested in injuries.
I worked at Adobe on a project called Alchemy (just like WASM, but for compiling c/c++ to actionscript to run inside the flash player). One of my internal demos was the flash player compiled into a SWF running Flash inside Flash. So if someone currently at Adobe wanted to dredge up my old branches they'd have a good starting place :)
This is not exactly a correct description. Unicode does not specify the appearance of characters, only their meaning. It seems what’s changed is the reference presentation of the character in the Unicode tables, not the character itself. Unicode goes to great lengths to preserve backwards compatibility so changing the meaning of a code point would violate that principle. Your OS or application providing Unicode 15.0.0 support will not change the appearance of U+A66E. The appearance is dependent on the font.
And by your logic, once a SCOTUS decision is made it can never be revisited.

Every 2A decision is interpreting the same, unchanged text. So any decision that goes against a previous one by definition means they believe the previous decision was incorrect. The fact that it was interpreted as a collective right before Heller doesn't mean that it was a collective right. It's just how the court (incorrectly) chose to interpret it in the past.

How to schedule meetings in the minimal number of time slots
I don't really feel like I know much about this, so someone may point out an obvious way in which I'm wrong, but:

How do you measure the effects of the moral hazard created by the post-housing crisis bailouts circa 2008? Are major financial institutions incentivized to take outsized risks if they're too big to fail? How can we be sure that doesn't "make a significant impact on the economy at large"?
Not only that, in the previous picture you can see some smd components have been blown away as well.

> The fields are macroeconomics and labor economics

As I understand it, those are mainly concerned with reduction in labor costs.

Job discovery is a phrase used by Clayton Christensen to describe finding a job to be done. He uses it to describe finding a product to sell to people to perform some function in their lives - a job to be done by a product that you make. I'm using it as an alternative to the idea of "job creation" because I don't think that's real.

There is a certain political narrative about job creation and job creators. I tried to find support for it in academia and I could not.

I didn't want to put all this in my original question because then I would only get political replies.

1) Design Data intensive apps - my go to book all the time for the basics.

> Apple thinks third-party app stores are just malware

Apple is greedy not stupid. They don't want third party app stores because it would cause competition and interfere with their almost entirely vertically integrated consumer milking machine... they don't care about malware, they care about control, controlling the user, to make sure they spend as much money as possible with Apple.

Notice that they have been increasingly swapping out as much third party as possible so they can take all of the profit, they "produce" film and tv shows and sell those tv shows on a device they make with a payment processing method they own... lots of layers of profit, it goes well beyond monopoly, they are destroying the concept of a free market. They do similar things with hardware and tech, buying out or forcing businesses into positions where they have to sell to Apple out or get pushed out.
The developer of Anchor told Do Kwon that Anchor wasn't safe but Do Kwon overrode him and deployed it anyway. That's getting into fraud territory because he knew it was going to collapse.
I'm a bit conflicted on this. With regular bankruptcy the loaner can take possession of the item you bought. With education the bank can't take your degree, knowledge, network and whatever else you gained from university. I'm not saying this shouldn't be a thing, but it would encourage people with no real property to declare bankruptcy even if they could pay it off.
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like bananas.
The efforts to discredit this policy are truly fascinating - that's how you know how effective it is, it truly is a threat. But this article is correct, that this is not sustainable and a longer term policy is needed.

Plenty of people are benefitting dramatically from this, and for once it's not the mega rich getting tax breaks or the fraud rife PPP loan fiasco.
That doesn't seem too long of a run until you realize it would need to be every day without rest days.
If you build it, they will come is a fun premise for a movie but in reality the market just isn't there. Better video delivery means that animations have moved there, better HTML/Javascript/CSS means that interactive applications have moved there, games have moved to game development environments (Unity, etc.), and where there is no clear alternative the work is thought to be kitschy and outdated these days so those works have largely disappeared. Animate serves what niche audience remains.

Also Chromebooks and those Windows laptops that can't do much more than running Chrome (and swapping to eMMC).
How do you handle "meaningless" visual changes? E.g. chrome version change introduces super-subtle blending changes to drop-shadows, and suddenly there are huge diffs because the least significant bit of a drop-shadow's grey colour changed. What is your approach to that?

So far all tools I have used like this suffer from "false positives" like this (it's a true positive technically of course, but likely false from an engineering perspective).
Being that academia heavily leans more liberal (in western countries at least) how such a story could explode even if it was fake because of audience bias to "confirming what they already knew" even if they didn't really know it. It didn't pass the smell test with me though, as in my experience the bias was much more subtle and less bias at the lower end (post docs, papers, collaborations) and more bias on the upper end "glass ceiling" (full professorships, flagship universities, academic governing bodies)

That works both ways, I know of Indian developers who only hire other indians, or east Asians who stick together. In Canada it’s a normal thing, Toronto is a big city divided into a ton of ethnic neighbourhoods (there’s a little x for every mini culture or ethnicity).

This has a side effect of ethnic groups sticking together at work, where language, culture, religion, etc are similar.

And it also doesn’t mean economic exclusion either. In places like Brampton the highest income bracket by religion is Hindu #1, then Jews, atheists, and Christians.
Why not just make some publicly funded text books and mandate that they must be used in any publicly funded institution.
Get a copy by other means, then list it on Amazon for slightly less than the cheaper ("legit") seller and order it from the expensive ("scam") one, hopefully before they adjust their prices. Then the scam seller buys it from you to sell to...you, and you pocket the difference.

This will presumably only work if the scam seller also automates the actual purchasing. If there is a human in the loop, they may look elsewhere for a copy and you will be out 23 million dollars (but have a copy of the book).

I would assume most Amazon marketplace sellers won't have the liquid assets with which to automate a 23 million dollar purchase.
I agree but how do you suggest they make money?

The version number of the current LTS Java version (JDK 17) is more than twice as large that of JDK 8. So I'd say it is a little obsolete. I'd expect a Java dev in 2022 (never mind the future) to confront Java features that aren't in JDK 8. Where I work we upgraded to JDK 17 this summer and I've been coding for my own account in JDK 18.
