I hear your point, but neither Princeton nor Yale require students to get loans. Along with a number of other super-prestigious schools, they offer all students full grant coverage of all the cost they can't afford. "By committing

Mind telling what RPS stands for? I'm Googling, but can't find anything relevant.

But why not scan-tron? It seems like that is the best of both worlds. Start with a simple physical paper that everyone can understand and audit as the primary record, but then have each voter feed their own directly into a scan machine that

You'd have to have it mandated to everyone. Otherwise the few conscientious teams would take 10 times as long as the risky ones. And since riskiness often doesn't bear deadly fruit for months or years, the careful teams would neve

My folks were there in the 1960s. Their stories are wild, and I don't know that they are exaggerating much.

Couldn't the hacker just pass on the username that I assume is being used to select the photo on the real site, and then put that image in place on their fake login site?

You have to win people over by making their lives easier or by making them look good. This does not necessarily have to be related to code or technology in any way. Then, after people have a visceral positive feeling about you, make some ti

The trick to livable minimalism is: money. Plenty of it. At the opposite end of the spectrum you see people who keep everything, including cars in their yard for spare parts, because they know they might not have money to buy the things the

The tiny house thing boggles my mind. Where I grew up, I had lots of friends that lived in them. The rich kids made fun of them, called the "trailer trash".

There may very well be steps to sustainability that should not be continued in the long term or for more than some people. Should the president resign because the world couldn't function if everyone could veto things?

I had the same thought. And I wonder, if we assume we are in a simulation, are we "in his/her/their image"?

How about this for a "reform": small, incremental improvement to the system year be year. Because we have one of these "revolutions" in education approximately 1.8 times per decade since 1970. And no matter how noble the

Right. But as they are describing the "lab", it seems to be for doing blood tests with microliter volumes. No?

by sopooneo 10y ago
From an outside perspective, the "mini-lab" sounds like a slightly different name for the same thing they already promising five years ago. What am I missing? Anything?

This is well put, and speaks to me of why we do need to legislate morality at times.

I had this exact same experience. Eking along is a very real possibility that I rarely see discussed.

Because the world is made up of messy people. And the value of allowing messy content was perceived as outweighing the value of consistency and reliability. I happen to agree.

Hypothetically, with PUT, whatever you send to the server should now comprise the entirety of that resource. So if all you PUT is a last name to /people/4335, then all of a sudden person 4335 consists of nothing more than a last

Certainly, though I am skeptical of that theory being true in the author's actual case. Because if it was, I would think the plurality in the URI would be consistent, and instead of POST /accounts/4402278/close You would

Your assessment of Downes may be correct. But I can tell you, that even in actual academic journals, "education research" is a level of self-sustaining garbage like nothing else you have ever encountered. I say this as someone tha

Are people drinking beer at the drop zone before they jump? Because that, by itself would seem like a huge red flag about the culture of safety in the sport. Or if you just mean after the fact, hanging out at the end of the day, then neve

Thank you. There it is listed out. I'm unsettled that a strategy involving using information that must have 0 correlation to each person's own correct answer could yield a collectively correct answer. I have heard problems similar

I haven't reasoned through your solution fully yet, but is that a guarantee that at least one of them is correct? How? Sorry if your answer turns out to be obviously correct.

For datetimes, do you mean that they be set as strings in the standardized formats such as specified by ISO 8601? Like: {"item": "lawn chair", "order-timestamp": "2016-08-21T00:58:47Z"}

by sopooneo 10y ago
Are you proposing that timestamps as described in RFC 3339 be put inside quotes and just be string values in JSON? That's the simplest way I can think to do it, but I've had adamant protest to that idea. If you are not suggestin

At some point companies become large enough that they effectively are society and government. For those in charge to put societal interest as a goal beside shareholder profit is to me a requirement for healthy capitalism.

I highly recommend soliciting the services of a fee only financial advisor. Or just read the book "Personal Finance for Dummies" cover to cover.
