Yep. To add on to my earlier answer, if I had gone to any of my public in-state universities, the lottery would have paid for all of my tuition and even some of my books. Georgia is a great place to live if you are a graduating high school

I've been very lucky. I don't want to say everyone can get through college without debt, because that simply isn't true. I also was blessed with a good job and some good timing. Mostly it comes down to my university being so

It's not impossible to have a low debt degree today. I've worked interesting jobs part-time during the school year and full time during breaks and will graduate without a dime of debt. I've met many students with a similar fi

I agree with this, but there has to be some kind of reasonable time limit where bankruptcy doesn't apply. Otherwise every cunning student will just apply for bankruptcy right after graduation (made very easy because they don't yet

I feel there is a massive difference in funding an engineering student's debts versus an art history major's debt. Every engineering degree typically results in 60K plus jobs straight out of school. I doubt a single engineering st

Yeah, and with the TTF available, readily installable on Windows/Mac OS as well. I used FA in a PPT just the other day.

Is this just a function of comparative advantage? I read the link but am not sure what it is saying beyond what seems obvious to any economics student.

Is there a reason you used the term "Mormon conspiracy"? It detracts from the rest of your point. You hopefully wouldn't call Bernie Madoff's scheme a "Jewish conspiracy" just because the principal in that sche

CHARLES also works really well and in my opinion has a better UI than Fiddler. It can also be used to capture encrypted traffic on another device.

Have you ever tried to develop a old-school-style Firefox extension? I made an extension in both browsers three years ago. It took me a week to make the Firefox extension and one day to make the Chrome extension. Chrome extensions are basic

Also, it is not freedom because you are subject to the tyranny of the universe ruining your plans. Your crops can fail because of any number of reasons. With true subsistence farming you could die through no fault of your own. You assume al

They do have radar altimeters, but radar altimeters face occasional issues. So they usually also bake in various failsafe measures. Sadly the failsafe measures tend to be the thing which dooms spacecraft, usually in odd ways unpredictable u

Most impressive here is a 70% increase in production. Note that this occurred while Model 3 production is still starting.

But it also would be insane to make a provably false statement, leaving you open to lawsuits and probably enraging any would be whistle blowers. It would be even more insane to make your false statement more false than it needs to be.

It's entirely possible a highly-paid legal counsel like Apple or Google has finds out the emperor is wearing no clothes and NSL's are unenforceable. The question is: who is willing to find out? There's all kinds of nasty stuf

The security or email team could also blog about how to "hypothetically" implement real-time scan of email for keywords, and then stay mum about if they ever actually implemented something like their proposed program. Totally prot

Google denied they have a similar program: For its part, Google was the most unequivocal. Spokesman Aaron Stein e-mailed: "We've never received such a request, but if we did, our response would be simple: 'no way.'"

The problem with having too many package carriers is that the infrastructure is so expensive it's almost a natural monopoly. It's really difficult to have a multitude of companies in the market.

I'd be interested to see if any collusion between the duopoly occurs in the next interval. All UPS and FedEx would have to do is put a cap on Amazon's packages for the holiday season at the last second to hobble them.

The device frame screenshot is a really nice feature. A couple weeks ago I found out that using $x in the Chrome and Firefox console lets you select and highlight an element using XPath. Lot's of cool stuff hidden in the dev tools.

Oh, yes they could. The easiest route would simply be to refuse me referrals. If I had a golden parachute deal, it would be invalidated by such an action. Any vested stocks I had would be in jeopardy. They can try to blackball me. They can

It's a pretty common tactic, especially in discovery for civil cases. Law firms routinely pay people to type up printed documents so they can be keyword searched. I agree it should be a matter of contempt of court when clearly used as
