A PhD is a path to citizenship which isn't a bad thing in theory but the side effect is it reduces graduate student real wages and lengthens the time to graduate as demand is so high. I'm surprised economists haven't studied it (or maybe they have) and figured a way out of this fundamental trap.

Also University administrations are basically corrupt in the way they nickel and dime grad students across the board. The whole student/employee/apprentice thing really needs a systematic reevaluation since it can be exploitative.

Maybe they need to pay incentives to professors to graduate PhD students. In general the market for PhDs is expanding and high paying jobs are available at least in STEM fields which is a good thing as new technologies find wide applications.

There's the saying that "we are free to do what we want, but not to want what we want". I'd guess that at the moment of a lapse, the drug/alcohol is all an addict wants. Changing that want into something else is the hard part and also depends strongly on the environment.

> Sounds a lot like cultural thing.

Yes, it could be. Maybe that is why I find this website a little bit offensive.

I would find it much more interesting to have a post about how different cultures deal with chats, rather than a website that basically says "Please do it my way. I even made a website for you to ask others to do it my way".

For instance, in my first job I was in contact with companies on the other side of the world, and would sometimes be pissed at them because of their "annoying" behavior. Until I realized that it was actually a different culture, and I was being a jerk to them. My solution was to try to be more open to different cultures, and not to publish a website explaining how people should just embrace mine.

When I see these issues in PG, a lot of it seems like incidental complexity.

Also I don't believe there's an "impedance mismatch". It's usually a problem of incorrect abstraction, or incorrect framing of one. For example SSD rarely modify content in-place, it streams data over new sectors to distribute write wear and tear, as each cell has finite write cycles in its lifetime.

Also a system that combines in-place mutation, with immutable sharing, cheap snapshots (deep copy) and easy garbage collection is copy-on-write. So it'd seem this makes more sense as a baseline foundation to step on when implementing MVCC in RDBMS. But there we go.
>> Intel being the most obvious benefactor there.

No need to assume malice when incompetence is sufficient. At a guess, the SDK engineers likely had Intel workstations and didn’t test on other systems. In the course of doing low level optimizations, they may have written some non-portable code.

Only recently did Google start offering an AMD-based workstation, which is highly coveted because it’s incredibly fast for building Android or ChromeOS. Maybe this has been fixed since then from bug reports.

Construction is actually pretty low margin, builders survive with credit and volume.

The secret sauce for construction is just finding the cheapest labor you can. There’s not a lot of efficiencies to be had.
While much of what Bush did as President was not at all compassionate, he actually did believe in and try to practice compassionate conservatism. He made major concessions to liberal ways of thinking, some good and some not so good. A major good one was fighting AIDS in Africa. His education policies were on the not so good side.
Uh, I'm not in the industry at all, but obviously (?) the concept of prefabricated (modular) houses exists, and has done so for many years.

Perhaps this is a regional/national thing (I sometimes get the feeling that "prefab" is a condescending term in the US sometimes). For reference, here's a page showing the selection from one of Sweden's main house manufacturers [1]. It's in Swedish, but I just wanted to share the pictures. Also it's hard to say exactly what proportion of a house is pre-built, but I expect the majority of the structural things (walls, floors, roof) to be.

Nah, looking back on it, there was no learning about dysfunctional lives, it was just absolutely misery. Emotional and physical bullying, fear, intimidation, and misery. If a child is disruptive to other students and impinging on their opportunity to learn they should be removed from the classroom. It's not the school's job to teach discipline. Removing them from the class puts the burden on the parents and the administration, instead of the kids.

They should learn by being subjected to the effects of their dysfunction? I honestly don't grasp this strategy. It's like saying that we should learn that some people are psychopaths by going to live with them..

The digital marketing landscape is constantly evolving in today's fast-paced digital age. As technology advances and consumer behavior shifts, businesses must adapt their strategies to stay ahead of the curve. Exciting possibilities await in the future of digital marketing, with new trends emerging and innovative strategies on the horizon. The opportunities are endless, from artificial intelligence and virtual reality to personalized content and influencer marketing. It may be challenging to navigate this dynamic environment, though.

What about:

- Canvas, who make a robot for drywalling

I'm pretty sure there have to be more, but probably not many doing construction themselves since that doesn't scale well for a typical startup. But tools and software surrounding construction, there's companies for that.

I do short quote-posts on my blog and wrote this one up.
People do this. A friend works with permitting and theough him I hear some stuff. There's this one developer that regularly sells houses before the permits have been granted. Really puts pressure on the municipality to approve, now that there are specific people that will be impacted if they don't.
This is absolutely a huge factor, if not the biggest factor in education: kids who are actively disruptive and harmful to the learning of others being kept in with other kids, draining all of the attention from the teacher.

The causes and solutions are not as simple as "these kids are bad, kick them out of school", but any solution needs to involve kids who aren't disruptive and WANT to learn getting an environment conducive to that.
I only have anecdotal information, but my wife worked for Evernote and was let go as part of this acquisition, along with the rest of the marketing team.
I absolutely agree though, this argument is extremely weak, like a developer being asked to step outside their comfort zone locking up and declaring something unknowable levels of complexity so they don't even have to try.

The GDPR is extremely easy to understand. It's not always trivial to comply with, because we all know that enterprises are held together with instant glue, a networking VM in a basement nobody has logged in to for 10 years, at least 3 layers of management between a DPO and feature teams and one all-knowing employee everyone hopes will never leave or take too much vacation because things will slowly crumble in their absence. It's pretty hard to be absolutely compliant in that environment. But if you're a startup, or even solo? You can absolutely design your app to not have these issues in the first place.

Are these similar to ones from Lightning Press/Lightning Source? I used to complain about those years ago. A few of my more niche textbooks come from them. They are really poor quality. Bad printing with cheap feeling paper and bog standard binding.

On the other hand, I have a book from Lulu[0] and it's actually really nice. Not quite up to a "real" textbook but at least as good as a professional mass-produced paperback.

Yes, which is why it is important to try to do the right thing rather than just doing the first thing that comes to mind without regard for whether it's expected to work.
> Buy from a book shop.

Authors use on-demand printing from Amazon because ordering a full print run is significantly more expensive, and due to lack of demand they'd never be able to recover the costs. These kinds of books aren't promoted by a top publisher and don't have shelf space at your local bookstore. Chances are if it weren't for Amazon they wouldn't be available for purchase at all.

People don't seem to realize how absurd it is that you can have an idea for a book, type it out, upload it to Amazon, publish it on the Kindle store, and print and ship a hardcover copy to anyone in the world all in a matter of days. If you told this to an aspiring author lining up in front of publishing houses 20 years ago they would have laughed in your face because of how unbelievable it sounds. "Oh but the cover art is blurry"...seriously? Who the hell cares?

It’s interesting - in Sweden, the vast majority of new homes are apparently prefab [1].

Aside from customer expectations for customizability in the US (and other countries) I believe regulations also contribute, with prefab homes actually requiring more robust construction than conventionally built homes.

WSA uses the Amazon app store by default, not Google's.
People seem to have forgotten the boom of prefab/modular houses in the 1960s/1970s. It turns out after the cost of delivery and final assembly on location you lose out a good chunk of the efficiency of the factory line production.

The biggest innovations to construction are probably to be had in better/faster/easier plumbing and electrical connections, making it faster and more reliable to install all the fixtures. Being able to plumb and install a whole bathroom in a couple of hours instead of most of a day while reducing the odds of needing rework would be a decent boost. We've seen some improvement in this already though with things like PEX and Wago, I imagine even more modular designs can improve this even more. The challenge with this is actually getting adoption and approval for some of this stuff.
> Yes, don't we all hate it when people come into our job and tell us how to do it?

I read this and was expecting /s but apparently not.

Please address something concrete! In the US, there are significant problems with the educational system. It's ok to write a theoretical piece thinking about ways to do things differently.

The author has some good ideas that do not deserve to be dismissed lightly. They can even be applied within an existing educational system. Examples that I think should resonate on HN:

- 1D: Do Real Things, Not Fake Things
If I had to guess, for Germany, you have basically two groups opposing it vocally, the die-hard privacy advocates (<5%) and the "inter-what?" group which does not understand how the internet, let alone how street-view, works (~20%).

Latter group actually argued that street-view would be used by burglars to identify possible targets in real-time. I recall on of these i***** to propose German police to patrol street-view!

With the large majority being neutral/positive on the topic, but not motivated to argue publicly against the other two groups. And so, again, the fringes win.

SDKs to build quality product onboarding and education
I learned English playing Leisure Suit Larry when I was about 6, with a dictionary next to me, painstakingly translating everything. This turned into a lifelong love of adventure games, with the Space Quest games being an especially fond memory.
This was also how I learned the difference between ‘make knife sharp’ and ‘sharpen knife’, or ‘put can in bag’ versus ‘put can in bag’ (the latter of which actually worked if I recall correctly, with Larry stuffing the spray can and then dying, which frustrated me to no end for ages.
I always kinda thought that this is more in the style of what an educational game should be like, exploring with aids and the tasks being somewhat unforgiving, at least that worked really well for me.

Crypto has existed for 14 years, but it has only become mainstream in the last 6 years. Binance, for instance, was founded in 2017. So 6 years from founding to crackdown. OxyContin was invented in 96. The effects were already terrible in the early 2000s. A bill in 21 is too little too late.

> Every person on the planet should have their own website

Seems a bit of a too narrow perspective. Many people just don’t have time and money to have their own website. Just because some thirteen-year-old has it doesn’t mean everyone should.

Also, slightly contradictory that everyone should write in public but the person suggesting it does not show their website.

So I suggest a slightly different title (and corresponding content):

Every person on the planet should be able to have their own website
Sure, I have no problem with that. I guess I just don't create a website called "pleasebepolite.net" where I explain how I like it better when people behave politely (for my definition of politeness).

Let people do their thing, and you do yours.
not necessarily on day one.. this is why threads only have search for users at the moment..

that is what everyone is doing now.. search for the people they care to follow..

They can work a few more days on that and add it in a update down the line.. by the time thread has enough content that search is important you can bet that search will be there..

i like the theory that they lunched now, sooner then originally planned, to surf on the mess that twitter made on the last few days. This would explain why threads is so incomplete in some areas, but probably will match all twitter features soon enough..
> Doesn't Qubes require like 32GB of RAM just to run?

32 GB minimum, but 16 GB recommended.[0] I think that's backwards, so I'd say it's actually 16, not 32 required. But yes, that's more than a typical SBC will have. The Pi 4, for example, has a maximum configuration of 8 GB, but some have modded it to have 16 GB.[1]

Typically these are called "modular homes" in the US. They've been around for quite a while and do make up a certain portion of the new home construction, though not the majority.

This approach is not quite as efficient as it initially appears:

First, it does nothing for the site construction (grading, excavation, utilities, paving, septic, well, etc.) Those tasks, which make up a decent portion of the project, are done in exactly the same way as in conventional construction.

Second, the modular boxes are either A) the width of shipping containers, which severely constrains the house layout, or B) somewhat wider than shipping containers, which makes them oversized loads that require escort vehicles, highway permits...increasing cost.

Third, you have to hire a crane to set the boxes, and then make all of the connections between the boxes, and install various mechanical and electrical components, complete the finishes, install staircases, etc. This costs quite a bit and still involves the hiring of various local subcontractors, just like in conventional construction.

When you add everything up, modular sometimes saves a little money and often reduces the project timeline (unless there are delays at the factory). But it's not a massive improvement, which is why modular hasn't taken over everything.
