I think there are cultural (racial?) aspects too.

I'm East Asian. Hair loss at a young age and shaving your head is still not considered very acceptable or attractive in any way in East Asian cultures, short of being a monk. There are a tiny handful of exceptions - but that's just that - exceptions.

If you're pushing 50? 60? etc. sure it happens to many so not a big deal - but even then I think more East Asian men choose wigs, hair transplants, or even au natural horseshoe rather than shave. If you're 20? 30? Or even 40? It's terrible - dare I say more so than men of other races/cultures.

As someone in his thirties that is starting to lose hair, I envy men of other races/cultures where shaving your head is considered an acceptable option.
To be fair, I can see at least some sense in it. Specifically, it seems like almost every law of any complexity has unintended consequences. In general, those consequences are negative. Having an extra law on the books means one more thing that can go wrong. As such, creating a law that has no actual benefit (nobody will break) has a fair chance to have a negative impact on society.

Conceptually, it's not unlike adding the hardware to a car for a feature nobody will use. It's something that can break, for no benefit.

All that being said, I do not agree the law would be useless because I assume the ISPs will do everything in their power to make money at the expense of the well being of everyone else.
The proposals that Asra and friends decry as racist are random lotteries. How can a standardized test level the playing field more than that? The proposals further eliminate features that are either largely unrelated to academic capability or are tightly bound to access to wealth or attending the right gifted programs.
Huh. That worked really well.

I feel like a goofball for not trying that myself, but appreciate the advice/tip. Thanks!
Why do you think "Big Vaccine" is conspiring to give your baby shots all at once instead of spaced out? They get paid either way and doctors probably get paid more if you space out.

Why do you think being lethargic 6 times in a row is better than once?

2% of chicken pox vaccinationa cause a mild case. That's unfortunate, and probably shouldn't get the shot during a travel month, but it's better than catching a full case at an unexpected time, isn't it?
Probably depends more on the kinds of projects I’m doing in this hypothetical semi retirement hobby lifestyle :). If I’m playing with data science stuff, Python. If I’m in a large codebase, something statically typed. If I just want to learn languages, Haskell? Forth?
I feel like Wikipedia is different because it actively harms the platform when people put up non-notable content, since it reduces the signal to noise and turns the platform into a way to launder legitimacy/importance. For example your local dentist should probably not have a wikipedia article, and you don't want there to be an arms race of every local dentist trying to get a wikipedia article so that they seem important.

The other issue is that many novice contributors write with an improper voice and don't cite their sources - which again lowers the quality of the platform.

Stack Overflow is different, as long as a question is on-topic and not a very close repeat I think there is no great reason to close it.
Pity party? What are you talking about? Whatever you think of Scott, what was done to him was disgraceful and an abuse of power and the vengeful hit piece is utterly dishonest. For anyone who cares, it is beyond dispute that the NYT is a diseased institution that should be excised from society before it corrupts it further. Why you would choose to attack Scott rather than show indignation at the NYT is incomprehensible to me.
I'm fairly sure that I am not. But it is possible.
Another way for "bonding" would be to use mptcp ( http://multipath-tcp.org ). You might need to patch and build openwrt yourself for it... The key difference is with mptcp each individual tcp connection uses both connections at the same time, rather than picking a lottery.

I blogged about my setup at http://www.sajalkayan.com/post/fun-with-mptcp.html
It's really weird to me trying to do a lot of data handling on the front-end side rather than using server-side.
Bruno Senna is Ayrton's nephew. Nicolas Prost is Alain Prost's son (and Alain is visible in some of the shots cheering on his son from the garage). There are a number of other close ties to F1 in both the car hardware and technology and many of the drivers.

Most of the limits on the cars are due to battery technology.
Embed javascript as a scripting language into a Go app.

Build bindings to system functions in Go (e.g. write the common parts of an app in JS, run it in V8, write platform-specific things in Go).

Write the next Node.js/Io.js in Go?
