The sad thing is that the job market favors graduates from major universities. Research universities are doing what they are supposed to do, but their reputation attracts talented and ambitious students in general. When those students end up being successful in their careers, they maintain the reputation.

Some countries have tried establishing two parallel higher education systems. Universities provide research-based education, while the other system focuses more on skills that are relevant in the job market. And the job market still favors academic education over the more practical alternative.

The main driver of RICO, however, wasn't to stop racketeering. It provided the provisions for the FBI to pursue mob bosses for hits they ordered. Prior to RICO it was very difficult to throw a mob boss in jail for such things.

All we need to do is extract that portion of the bill. However, I suspect the answer is like usual. Congress does not represent the people and their corporate owners would not be pleased. Larry Fink would probably have a millenia worth of consecutive life sentences alone. We might spur innovation in healthcare technology just making him serve the time he owes.

> Shouldn’t it be possible to argue that consumers specifically bought a particular revision

Except they didn't. They licensed a copy of the book, and that license was revocable or changeable at any time. It's all there in the 175 page agreement they were forced to sign before the purchase went through.

Consumers lost the digital ownership battle a long time ago.

If I were going to publish bootleg copies of books, 1984 seems like a decent choice. Not that many books constantly sell as many copies.
This isn't that surprising. Kindle has a feature called "Automatic Book Update" and when a publisher releases a new version it will update your book automatically...

Usually the changes are pretty minor, fixed typos, maybe a movie cover or a new introduction. You can turn it off although I don't think you can roll back versions?

I’m not sure how much of it was luck, but my provider at One Medical tested for Lyme disease and caught it in me. My provider seemed to be extra cautious based on very limited clues and I think that is somewhat related to it being a premium product.

Lyme can be super awful in some cases, especially when you’ve had it for a while without knowing. Given my experiences in other care systems, I don’t have a lot of faith they would have tested for it with any rigor.

the Biden administration announced sweeping curbs on Chinese purchases of US high-end chips

It was the old 'manager's dilemma' - do we 'buy-built' because it's faster, cheaper and less difficult; or do we 'roll our own' - which is more expensive, slower to get results, and more difficult?

The Chinese were perfectly happy to spend a couple of hundred billion on US semiconductors every year. It was 'win-win'. The US got sales to offset their trade deficit, and China didn't need to build a whole new expensive industry from scratch.

Enter the idiots. Stop the semiconductor sales to China. Force the Chinese to 'roll their own' and in the process set up a competitive new industry that will eventually out-compete and destroy their previous suppliers.

US semiconductor manufacturers will soon be going down the same path to follow the US paper manufacturers, the US steel manufacturers, the US auto manufacturers, the US textile manufacturers, the US home appliance manufacturers, etc, etc, etc.

My conjecture is that if I think of the Alboran, Balearic, Ligurian, Tyrrhenian, Ionean, Adriatic, Mediterranean, and Aegean seas as a single body of water, humans just kept going around it in clock- & counter-clockwise wise, over and over. Or maybe in an infinity symbol (∞) fashion, crossing at Gibraltar, between Al Huwariyah and Marsala, and of course at the Sea of Marmara or even the Greek isles.

>> why dont they just take your idea and run off with it?

There is a very, very small number of people in the world with the willingness, resources and drive to build something.

This is such a trivial concern it can be dismissed entirely.
The whole idea of renting books rather then owning them is gross, and I deeply regret purchasing a Kindle.

But I don't understand the hand wringing about the publisher changing newer editions of the book. All media either changes with the times to find a new audience, or faces obsolescence. My generation grew up watching Romeo + Juliet and 10 Things I Hate About You, rather than pouring over the original Shakespearean plays.

The changes in Roald Dahl's books are limited to asides about characters or superfluous details that are archaic. We are not loosing a literary gem by dropping the cheap "Wong number" joke from the Great Glass Elevator.

It's not like this is some new thing, either. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was edited after publishing by Roald Dahl himself, because having Oompa Loompas be enslaved pygmies from deepest darkest Africa is kinda shitty.

Ah, the good old days when countries could be imperialist and unashamed.

Three centuries without a war or major rebellion. That's a good record.

Take up the White Man's burden—
Send forth the best ye breed—

To serve your captives' need;

To wait in heavy harness
On fluttered folk and wild—

Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.

For words like forum and datum, both are possible, but also there's a clearly more commonly used option that doesn't confuse everyone. In Dutch, fora is probably about equally common as forums; in English I'm not sure I've seen it ever used. It's like using datum to mean a single data point: "look at me being clever about word technicalities and making everyone do a double take to understand this sentence". At least, that's how I feel when seeing a native speaker use datum instead of data point in English, or in Dutch using data to mean multiple calendar dates (the common word being datums).

All variables held the same, Julia often beats C, NumPy, and most other languages.

Julia also supports transparent Cluster API and CUDA integration. i.e. the hot-mess you hope to never have to maintain professionally.

In my humble opinion, the utility of this high-level language makes it fundamentally different. Thus, it is slowly becoming more mainstream as the ecosystem stabilizes.

> I tried to explain it's a modern enough and capable phone that can do everything the latest iPhone can do, sometimes even better. H

Couple of points here that as far as I’ve seen has yet to be addressed by the comments. It doesn’t matter what the Android phone can do, in the end, no android device beat the social experience of the iPhone.

The texting experience is inferior. The inability to send gifs videos, and photos (It doesn’t matter how good of a photo an android photos can take if the recipient will never seen the quality over text) in a reliable manner, voice messages, and iMessage games is a turn off. The fact that these are degraded/ even more undoable for a group chat enhances the inferiority.

The inability to FaceTime, have group face time, and now share play is also a Downside socially.

The fact is, no android can do what the latest online can do socially
Sure sue them and go argue about it in court. There's already multiple decades worth of precedence against you in the matter.
It would however be common sense that the US gov. Wouldn't burn a TOR 0-day (or other means of breaking tor anonymity) for anything but the highest of high profile cases, especially considering it would end up in court records.

They can either spy and let it slide because 1 guy buying weed on whatever replaced the silk road isn't worth that, or they can find the guy, arrest him if he's done something big enough and invent a way they found him. Hell, they could even say they found him on clearnet, the guy isn't gona go "your honor, i sure did buy those illegal drugs online but i used TOR so how did they find out"

My current biggest reason to believe TOR isn't breached on a massive scale is that snowden had nothing to show about it.

“Meanwhile, office attendance has returned to 70% to 90%”

Seriously? I knew two remote guys before COVID including me :D Now literally all my friends work from home. Also ratio of remote gigs to onsite ones is much better in favor of remote than in 2019. And most on sites are still hybrid aka 2-3 remote days weekly, and this became a norm not only in tech.

70%-90% attendance sounds way off. At least where I live (Poland). Is it the same in other European countries or seriously almost everyone is back in the office?

Anyway - way to go, USA!

Umm, im pretty sure im the same generation and we were required to pour over those in school.

If you mean the average person isn't reading Shakespeare for fun, i think you would have to go back many many generations. For that matter, he was probably never "read" for fun by the average person (his plays were of course watched by the average person once upon a time)

I think that was part of DARPA's 2001 Total Information Awareness progam. For 330 million American citizens, let's see, that's about a $100,000 upfront investment each at todays's prices?

It's a fraud.
Oh, really nice takeaway! That does make a lot of sense, I'll have to re-read it.

Are people just going to be put down when not in the workforce? <grin>

As people age, they tend to fall off the perch. They won't all die immediately, of course, and they won't be culled. It's just normal attrition.

The Boomer generation was a huge bump in the population mix. Was being the operative word. I haven't seen any recent figures, but I'd say that the 'bump' would be pretty much disappeared by now.

If China has lost 40M workers, that means those oldies weren't being replaced at the younger end. A lack of replacement at the younger end has the same practical effect as older people being 'put down' at the older end.

And anyway, 40 million in a population of 1400 million is only about 3%. The World as a whole needs drops to be in the order of 80 million a year just to remain static at around 8 billion, and far bigger drops to start decreasing towards sustainable levels.

There isn't a good open source one, no.

The WDC has a compiler, but it's a bit dated, and windows only. There is also the 'Calypsi' C compiler which is free for hobbyist use, but also is not open source: https://www.calypsi.cc.

There are also ports of tcc and lcc, but from what I remember, there are some bugs in the code generation. cc65 is 6502-only, as is the mos-llvm project.

The 65C816 isn't exactly the easiest CPU to write a C compiler for.
It is not just about money it is about "flexibility" or else said, ability to kick people out to update curriculum and take younger ones more up to date with recent research.

Possibly controversial and happy to be swayed, but to me the fundamental problem at the core of grad student oversupply is a lack of investment training.

Degrees like the sciences and mathematics (and certainly arts too) are appealing to some because they are not tied to capital (or at least, less tied to capital than say business degrees). This means there are less chances to make money, sure, but also less chances for corruption. The problem is, that isn't a complete career plan. There needs to be an "and then" that reflects the current market.

I don't have a lot of hope for universities hiring enough people to satisfy the number of current t grads. But, we definitely need innovation. Universities should be teaching students how to intelligently take risks, while not sticking their neck out too far.

Governments can help here by offering cheaper loans to young investors, or offering partial protection to investors who do. Again, happy to be swayed here.

IMO, one thing that absolutely needs to be retired is the current academic reward pattern of "better = more papers at more high impact journals with more cool positions held". It's too easy to game and too hard to be creative under. Something where the financial risk is not held ENTIRELY by the post doc is a good start.
We invented an amazing technology for sharing at near-zero cost.

IMO, ideally, authors should offer digital copies of their books gratis-with-the-option-of-paying. Obviously, these copies shouldn't come with restrictions.

The upside of truly free books for everyone is so great that any alternative seems terrible.
There is no way Penguin was not aware of the backlash this would cause, it is a marketing stunt. They got to sell a bunch of the new version and now they get to sell a bunch of the old and these books will probably sell more copies in 2023 than they have in years. Not to mention they get to tell their customers how important they are to Penguin,just look what we did for you!

I was one of those. California has a law that was intended to protect against exploitation of adjuncts that makes things worth where an adjunct is limited to 10 LHE (lecture hour equivalent) per district. In Orange County, it’s not too bad because there are a lot of districts in a smallish geographic area, but LACCD covers a huge geographic area which makes L.A. County much more challenging. Add in all the competition and the low wages (although, as I recall, the L.A. County districts paid more than the O.C. districts) and life is pretty painful for an adjunct.

> I’ve since given up using search.nixos.org and now just grep the nixpkgs repository.

I still use search.nixos.org as well, but this is the single biggest step anyone can take to massively level up with Nix. Nixpkgs is an incredibly valuable collection of examples, both of how to use Nix and of how to configure the upstream services that NixOS supports.

It might sound ugly, or overinvolved, or intimidating, but once you add the Nixpkgs codebase to your list of reference documents, many things become way faster and easier.
