TL;DR Well, there isn't one, except an apology for the somewhat ranty writing.

You can make the future what you want, but an education is very valuable, and a really cool thing to have done.

Yes, as is having composed a symphony, painted a masterpiece or written a magnum opus. But none of those require an investment of youth(time) along with an opportunity cost that is near-impossible to recoup, in more ways than one.

I understand the essence of what you are conveying in terms of value and I was motivated by primarily the same ideals and thoughts before I decided to dedicate my life to science and research, discarding a tried-and-true (by social standards) career as a medical doctor (and before anyone asks, no I can't go back, it's too late for that).

The romance of science is one thing, paying the bills is another. And watching your fellow college-mates make (undeserved, imo) high salaries with far less education than you, makes you question many things, including that pesky thing called your career choice.

I have been a long term (~6 years) HN user (lurker). Here, in front of my own eyes, I have seen Web 1.0 implode, HN explode and the birth of Web 2.0 as well as it being raised, milked and put to pasture. I have seen HN legends, both companies and people, come and go.

Somewhere, within me, lies a dreamer, the same dude who lured me into the romance of science, whispering the possibilities that may lie in life-sciences+software entrepreneurship. But that implies taking huge risks, not easily possible with a wife in the same science-boat and a very young kid. No real savings, coz life science doesn't really pay much in research. Can't go the ramen route, am almost (back) on it as a Post-Doc!

So, what are my possibilities? Anything that can open the doors to entrepreneurship, draw upon my polymath training (biology + software) and a deeply diverse skill-set (molecules-of-life + mostly python coding + systems administration). Hello HN! Any takers?
It's pretty hard to add them afterwards in a backward-compatible way that is not a great hack
Note: I used relative wealth for a reason, doing a direct $ to $ conversion misses out of things like the US being on the gold/silver standard well into the 1900's. "Nixon Shock” Often people use things like how much bread cost back then forgetting that bulk food has become ridiculously cheap over time. A better measure is how much it costs to bribe a Politian.

In the end, there are a lot of ways of calculating wealth. However, the ROI was generally much higher in 1800's than today so simply looking at the value people were willing to pay back then is a poor way of calculating wealth. Looking at NPV corrects for most of this based on those calculations you get ~300B.

Also, 1) Ignores dividends so it's actually not nearly as inflated as you might think. And 2) is useful to figure out influence aka things like how much land some historical figure could buy. Or how many people they could employ.

And throughout that time actuaries (the original data scientists) have had one of the best-paying and highest job satisfaction levels. Statisticians and data analysts have been in demand for a long time and likely will continue to be.
The high temperature limits the materials we can choose from. We've elected to stick with known materials (stainless steel) for the first generation to keep our schedule short.
As someone noted below highly corrosive depends on the material you are in. The fuel salt is actually pretty modestly corrosive as long as the chemistry is kept right. Specifically, we have to keep the fuel salt reducing - we don't want any free fluorine running around. We keep a balance between UF3 and UF4 (roughly 99% UF4). It's like keeping the chemical balance in your swimming pool. Under those conditions the vessel will last a very long time indeed (>60 years). But it takes a long time to prove this and we have to swap out the graphite anyway so we swap out all critical components every four years. They get disassembled, cleaned, and normally put back into service with a new graphite load. This is kindof like your laser printer cartridge.
XML used to be the in thing; now it seems to be HTTP. Will we look back in 5 years time and despise that too?
Are you actually fine with that or you just don't see how it can be used to negatively impact you?

And I'm not sure this info is harmless anyhow. It's a giant piece of legislation with probable loopholes. Plus it's not a static piece of law/regulation. And all of these companies share data.
I am currently unemployed.

My mother is nagging me to join a masters degree so I can get a job as professor in a public university.

She does not think it is a good job, she thinks it is a easy job, her words were: "I think you are smart enough to pass the tests to get the position."

That is because in a public university, after some time tenured you can't be ever fired unless you commit a serious crime, so it is a "good job" in the sense you will never be unemployed again...

At least this is the situation in Brazil.
To me it implies that the default password can be determined if you are able to discover the MAC address. Either the manufacturer might have it in a database that could be compromised, or the algorithms generating the MAC addresses and the pseudorandom default passwords might be reverse engineered.

It doesn't have to be alimony - you can also remain happily married and live off the income of your spouse.

According to this googled article, 29% percent of mothers of children under 18 are stay at home mothers: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/04/08/women-s...

Two thirds of them are supposedly married, so I guess the alimony case might be around 10 percent of all mothers.

I don't think anything says you can't use another incentive.

Innovate or die (literally), doesn't seem like the wisest philosophy to base life on this planet around.
The design has two passive cooling systems. The first uses natural circulation through the heat exchangers to the normal primary cold sink. The second uses radiative heat to the membrane to a pond intended specifically for decay heat. Either one alone is sufficient - so if something (like a tsunami) takes out the primary cold sink we can still cool the core. If despite this the core overheats then it drains to the fuel drain tank. There we have passive cooling using the membrane.

If the drain between the core and the drain tank fails AND the both other passive cooling methods fail to keep the core cool enough then yes eventually the core vessel will fail. In that case, the fuel escapes the first containment (the primary loop) into the can. The can drains to the fuel drain tank so we still provide cooling.
In the example, I'd suggest to make 4th with 2x2 big pics, like 7th and 10th.
The power supply on the old Apple II "chirped" when switched off. I always understood it to be the oscillator decaying down from 20 KHz to DC in half a second or so.
The real question is whether Bitstamp is now insolvent. They lost $5 million. Did they get new funding to replace that, have enough capital of their own, or are they dipping into customer funds? Their statements have carefully avoided mentioning this issue.

If a real stockbroker lost funds like that, and became insolvent (debts > assets), they would have to stop operations immediately. In some jurisdictions it is a felony for a broker to continue to accept funds once insolvent. They don't get to "fix it later". That's because, historically, the temptation to fix it by speculating with customer funds has been a big problem.

Bitstamp now needs a full audit by an outside auditing firm.
Well my hidden friend, I don't have a success, but I just haven't stopped trying so you can take my advice with a healthy heaping of salt. It sounds like you've got a real good combo of expertise. Have you considered writing applications for biologists, biologists in training? A good deal of successful products and SaaS tools are selling to the developers. You know the math of biology, what pocket app might be useful, is there anything in managing a history of stuff, notes, etc. Something targeting biologists. I've seen folks make some decent side money writing calculators for stuff like beam strength based on material and dimensions. Things you've done a thousand times or do often but can be wrapped up in a nice little package.

"The point is that with almost any Science or Engineering degree you can get a great job in industry" this is far from guaranteed in the life science. It can be true, but very frequently in studies of job satisfaction among STEM graduate students (where the Bio folks tend to fall toward the bottom) one of the primary concerns is that there's not clear paths to industry on a large scale.
Microsoft announces Call of Duty tournament, top prize is $1M
> They've probably left a lot of loop holes. They've made it "secure" based on their understanding of security. -> Appreciate it. The feedback be given in a much more positive way by acknowledging their existing work and then giving them few pointers of making the app more secure. If you were taken aback then you're just being cocky.

You're injecting my comment into a manufactured scenario.

I'm not performing a code review, vulnerability assessment or pen test nor am I the OP's supervisor. I'm sharing my reaction to a web product as a potential consumer.

An invalid claim of security causes me to lose trust in the product and its creators. It's as simple as that.

10 minutes of boiling for regular kidney beans will degrade the toxin. If they're dried, however, you need to soak them in order to rehydrate them.

"ten minutes at boiling point (100°C, 212°F) are sufficient to degrade the toxin. For dry beans... soak at least 5 hours."
I think that the point is the other way around. Why should anybody go into science, given how little compensation there is for it? And that is the problem.

It is easier to pay people for things with short payback periods. That's why the car salesman gets a bonus for each car sold, but the engineer who designed the car does not. The engineer was more essential yo the product, but the connection between the salesman and the money is more obvious.

The scientist is more useful to society, but the investment banker has a more obvious connection to money, so the banker gets paid more. We should add more incentive to the scientists, because otherwise the rational choice is to leave science.
While you're correct, part of the fix for that is not to publish a 500-page paper in isolation. You instead publish the underlying concepts piecemeal in "easy"-to-understand chunks (for this insane level of "easy", hence the quotes). This works the same as how good practice when writing code is not to drop a 50 ksloc commit, but rather to do a series of patches showing how you arrived at a given solution.
I agree you were screwed. But you were screwed because you didn't recognize that:

* contracts where you as have no negotiation leverage to change the terms of the deal - are always bad.

* business-to-consumer contracts are always set up to maximize the screwage. The contracts were written by Comcast's lawyers to protect Comcast.

* lawyers (that you hire) are your friend.

I have had to sign screwage contracts. In my case it was with a NY bank ( I am in California ). My California lawyer took one look at the contract and knew exactly which state the contract was written in based on the screwage language.

His statement was that if a contract is so completely one-sided, that often times a judge will disallow parts of the contract.

Steps:

1. Determine what is the realistic amount ( absence of emotion that can be justified as fair ):

1. I would suggest a pro-rata amount (months left in contract) / 36 * $2K

2. Determine cost of just maintaining the non-existent service. (vs. paying the $2K) i.e. how many months of service is $2K equivalent to?

3. Make offer of about 75% the above number ( they will want to negotiate up )

4. What is your range that is acceptable.

2. Hire a lawyer:

1. that is willing to explain things and write down his/her explanation.

2. Ask about how to avoid being burned again when forced into a must sign contract.

3. Ask for the lawyer to send a offer of negotiated termination. The fact that the letter is coming from the lawyers office may get Comcast to go away for less than $2K.

3. Contact Consumer Financial Protection Agency ( Thank you Sen. Elizabeth Warren!! ) : http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

4. Contact your state's consumer protection agency. (Since you live in red states - I wouldn't hope for too much )

5. See if there are any relevant class action suits that are applicable.

6. SEO optimize your blog spot so it shows up in search results.

7. Write letters to your congress critter.

8. Write to the FCC explaining that your Comcast experience is why Net Neutrality is needed. (Comcast is trying to stop Net Neutrality rules).

Google UK has been providing comparison services [1] for car insurance, travel insurance, credit cards, mortgages and bank accounts, for years now.

Comparison sites are pretty big in the UK [2,3,4], more so than I have noticed since I've been here in the US. They are generally give the same sort of price; and all take the same sort of inputs. But I personally always found Google's lack of clutter, in-your-face branding and simplicity to make it my favorite.

Though it's not really advertised, and almost everybody I have mentioned it to has never heard of it.

I think it is phrased that way to set an upper bound without being overly precise.
Maybe ... but think about this: is there any provision in the contract where if Comcast fails to deliver Comcast is on the hook for $2K?

If not may it is time for you to recognize that the contracts that are 1-sided, screwage contracts don't deserve to be respected.
There's more than one kind of smart. I'm sure you know this to be true, which is why I'm puzzled that you seem so hung up on it.

I am of the opinion that having a building full of head-in-the-cloud brainiacs chipping away at hard problems in medicine, nanotech, industrial chemistry, etc will do more good for society than having a building full of the meanest, savviest businessmen brainstorming new innovative ways to trick people into buying comparatively poorly priced insurance / advertising / savings plans. Due to the non-excludability of scientific progress, we have an economic system designed to incentivize the latter at the expense of the former. That's a bug, not a feature.

Markets are very good at sniffing out and rewarding some kinds of value creation. They're not so good at sniffing out and rewarding other kinds of value creation and sometimes they create perverse incentives that are downright terrible. There are enough instances of this happening that I don't think it should be controversial to demand that "markets know best" philosophies should only be taken seriously if they come with a string of conditions for (at the bare minimum) identifying dysfunctional markets and rejecting their conclusions in such cases (e.g. Enron's rolling blackouts, pay-for-service health care incentivizing longer wait times, the Chinese Businessman strategy, Ponzi schemes, etc). "Markets know best" should never be taken as an article of faith, especially if you identify as a libertarian.

Libertarians philosophers that have won respect from the academic community (self-test: name 3, excluding Ayn Rand, otherwise you have homework to do) know how to qualify their arguments. "Markets know best" is a conclusion to be made (or not) under specific circumstances for specific reasons. There is no branch of libertarianism I am familiar with that has both survived the competitive back-and-fourth of the philosophical community and managed to uphold "markets know best" as a tautology. If you're taking "markets know best" as an article of faith, I would recommend examining this foundation for cracks. The most popular one (and the one I "fell" for during my libertarian phase) has to do with using a transaction-centric model for value creation. There are others. Perpetual vigilance is the only defense.

Sorry if I've read too much into your opinion, but it seems very similar to one that I used to hold and I'd be remiss if I didn't point that out.
Papers from the 2015 Conference on Innovative Data Systems Research
IMO if the US were willing to throw money at science like it's willing to throw it at the military and entitlements, it would generate a pile of junk science and enough occasional gems to more than pay for it in the long-term, something I can't say of the things I initially listed. Our national priorities down to the individual just flat out suck across the board and that's everyone's fault.
As someone who did a PhD and 6 years of post-doc in nuclear physics at a high status institution, I would disagree that tenure is difficult to get at a high status institution. I would argue that tenure at a high status institution depends on skills that are wholly orthogonal to scientific research. Yes, I'm bitter. And so are all my (ex)-colleagues.
You'd be surprised. Some companies give individual devs a lot of autonomy.

My point is that positivity and empathy works best when people already know they've screwed up. Otherwise, you have to explain how they erred, what the consequences were/are, and how to fix it. The first two are more difficult to do in a positive way.

That is not true in California. The landlord is required to make a good faith effort to replace you as a tenant.
I sounded rough on Peter, but I loved Zero to One. It's one of the best non-fiction books I've read in years. I think he's right on most things.

I still sympathize with the end goal of libertarianism: a society in which force and fraud are relegated to history. The problem is that we are nowhere even close to that. Our world is still absolutely ruled by force and deception. Governments are basically large gangs of people with big guns and their authority and power comes from their willingness to use them.

When you pluck isolated ideas out of some future moral utopia and try to apply them here and now, you run into problems around unintended consequences. Getting from here to there requires deeper thinking that takes context into account. We have to chart a course from our current state of affairs to one that is more civilized.

In more concrete terms: when you take a world that's ultimately run by violent gangsters and then take away compensatory "hacks" like wealth redistribution and regulation and public goods expenditures, what you end up with is actually a step back from the kind of future humanistic libertarianism actually envisions. It's basically unilateral disarmament. The gangsters are now free to get more powerful, and they will not return the favor.

I feel like its important to point out that having faith in a creator is not exclusive to having a belief in things like eternal life, favourable relations with a powerful being, etc. etc. People seem to easily conflate faith in a creator with practicing a mainstream religion.

edit: I would also like to add, although I already said it, that I believe both of these opinions regarding the creator are acts of faith, to absolutely say there is not one and to absolutely say there is, and if someone where to have made a statement as if a creators existence was a sure thing I would have called them out just the same.

I'm kind of reminded of the discovery of the first exoplanet. Once we found it, we started finding more and more of them across the sky. How do we know that binary black holes aren't all that common? For instance, how do we know that there isn't a binary supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way that we can't see?

For stars, binary systems are very common. How do we know that black holes aren't the same?
