yeeyeeyee

>Americans are often selfish, savage and cruel.

Sorry but wtf?! Read Manufacturing Consent. Don't demonize us. We're not down with this shit.

Yep, I meant #2 from https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/on_the_street

Idioms are hard! Want to apologize on behalf of the English language.

That's not my question. There's exactly one way to ask my question.

"Do you think prisoners should be charged $250/night for their incarceration?"

>Supporters say the collections are a legitimate way for states to recoup millions of taxpayer dollars spent on prisons and jails.

Wait there are supporters of this? You're telling me if I asked 100 people on the street, there'd be someone that said "oh yeah this is a pretty fair and reasonable law to charge the inmates 5-star hotel prices"??

Good point, yeah I guess the social and political aspects of music are equally if not more important.

Probably should stop listening to so much jazz. So glad I did not attempt to be a professional musician.

>no empathy

Look, my comment was about

(1) a possible explanation for the administration to choose a 10k flat vs. the proposed percentage based structure by the parent comment and

(2) identifying that having college cost a lot of money is an incentive that forces people to use it in order to get a job that makes a lot of money and (theoretically) contribute to the national productivity, which is good for the government

Nobody wants it to suck for other people. There are X costs involved in paying staff, you pay Y for tuition and the state government subsidies Z, maybe like half. Getting into college is competitive; it's a scarce resource that you outcompeted someone else for.

Snce you had to compete to get into that crab bucket, what about empathy for the people you excluded by doing this and, say, left out for the sharks. Easy to have empathy for the maybe 30% who actually go to a 4y university.

Sounds like a pretty good investment. What else would you call it?

Also, there are plenty of alternatives: trade schools, bootcamps, etc.

Finally, why introduce stereotypes? This is not the 1950s, you can't and shouldn't say stupid shit like that anymore.

> forgive that percentage from every student loan

This would be unfair to students who were frugal and chose a 20k-25k/yr COA state school with the assumption that their debt must be repaid.

Going to college is an investment that you ideally should plan for and weigh the benefits of the education vs the cost. If you don't think it's worth the 20-25k/yr COA at state schools (or whatever ridiculous amount at private schools) than just don't go. It absolutely is, but okay. This is an incentive to make good choices about college and be educated and productive post-college. But cancelling more debt would remove this positive externality.

The biggest apple/orange problem with OPs comparison is that in a university, there is a competitive admission process. Universities are planned, elite communities. You can't do that in a city. "Oh sorry NYC is now for people with 1400+ SAT only, sorry buddy, you're gonna have to go to Detroit."

I guess you can price people out, but that does not really have the same effect as the psychometric screening that universities do.

>IOS, Android, Web — update the interface of any applications directly from the server, without publishing updates.

Airbnb did this also https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/a-deep-dive-into-airbn...

It feels bad that apps can just bypass the static analysis, versioning, etc. in app stores and just, say, push a malicious update out to everyone simultaneously. I guess that was always allowed in the Android/iOS app models. Seems wasteful to build all that other stuff into the stores though.

I am very curious now, because you seem to be alluding to it: is there any real world example of any kind of artist who is both "compelling" and did most of their studying or work in a group? Or is this just all in theory, like "Johnny Thousand-Livers"? https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/organs

Incredibly hard to understand. As if, say, Einstein waved his hand and produced a rigorous theory of the general relativity. And spent no time on it himself. Or if, say, Coltrane revolutionized music but never practiced.

I agree that adversarial interactions can produce results. That's not what the OP is saying. What the OP is saying is that you need a whole lot of self understanding to create good work in the space of writing.

>Highly extroverted artists exist and do not create alone.

Find me one professional jazz musician that is "100% extroverted" and I can find you twenty places or quotations that clearly demonstrate that s/he has listened and studied the history of the music.

I'm not saying who is "worthy", whatever that means. I'm saying what needs to be done to be educated, to understand.

The famous story about Charlie Parker:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Parker

>His attempt to improvise failed when he lost track of the chord changes. This prompted Jo Jones, the drummer for Count Basie's Orchestra, to contemptuously take a cymbal off of his drum set and throw it at his feet as a signal to leave the stage. However, rather than discouraging Parker, the incident caused him to vow to practice harder, and turned out to be a seminal moment in the young musician's career when he returned as a new man a year later.

On display in any jam session is thousands of hours of (solitary) practice, study, and reflection.

>most of the highest-paid tech jobs are in pointless work done solely for rich people

Sorry what companies/jobs are you talking about specifically?

I'm saying I'm personally happy to pay for the subscription if I don't use it, and don't care if they move to a "refill" model. So my take is that not all the prime customers are scammed.

That being said it's been a while since I did the signup flow, maybe it's gotten way worse, do you have an example?

All of these models assume the following two things:

1. nobody likes their job

2. nobody thinks their work has any value besides what they are paid

In swe plenty of people like their job, everybody's paid like 200k now, and unless you're working on crud internal tools you get to work on something relatively important.

But yeah if you have a shit job then you can browse HN at work and philosophize about sociopaths and losers.

If only there were this magical piece of paper that everyone presented when they applied listing all their relevant skills and experience so that the company can determine if it's worth giving them 2 hours of their time.

All kidding aside, the efficient thing about resumes is that you write them once and use them everywhere. Coding samples are inefficient because you have to take 4h to write one for each company.

Edit: the other problem with takehomes is that it self-selects the people who have scarce-enough opportunities that they find it worth their time to do them.

It makes sense, it could look really bad for Chewy. Say your cat got eaten by a pit bull, and then a week later you're reminded what happened by a box of cat food they automatically shipped to your door.

I'm happy to pay the $15/month just to have the capability to have stuff shipped to my door overnight for free. There are months where I don't order anything at all. Compared to rent or food it's a drop in the bucket.

I am very frustrated by this article and I don't know why. I mean, they're right, improvisation, that's a good model for how you should design your social networking service. But just given how "realtime systems" (read: social media) evolved from 2010-2022, somehow I feel like this is not what Miles Davis stood for.

Ok, get a motorcycle then.

I love my car and I love driving to work every day. Cars enable privacy, freedom from bias and judgement, and a place to think. Also freedom from getting murdered on the Caltrain. "Loneliness is dangerous" is easy to say when you're on top of the social hierarchy with a job at Vox. Also, what a misleading lie of "a majority prefer to live in cities, suburbs, towns"; the survey "cited" gave 6 options, and 31% chose rural areas, and the "majority" comes from the other 5. I find it more surprising that 30% of Americans actually prefer to live in the woods.
