I saw the same elsewhere except for US.

Not only we drive kids all around in the car to get things done, we also need tell them "not talk to strangers" etc if they happened to be walk home from nearby school.

And the school always need more parents to be lunch helpers or recess watchers, of course PTAs etc, all the way so kids entering college are still treated like a baby to some extent. no wonder many of them live with their parents at adult age after they graduate, we just blame the economy for that though.

In addition, soon we may need armed guards on k-12 campus to keep them safe? for some colleges they will need learn how to carry a gun to stay safe.
It does come down to the fearmongering I think. People are really poor at judging risks and when more and more risks are made present to their awareness they make poorer and poorer decisions.
That stuff happened generations ago so I don't think it's the main reason there is such a drinking problem among Natives today.

Having spent some time around Native Americans here are some observations. Often when they drink they get carried away and drink to excess for the session. They often don't just sit and chat while doing it but engage in some fairly crazy behavior like turning over cars etc. Alcohol does appear to affect them differently and it's not "alcoholism" like someone's Anglo uncle who sits in front of the TV quietly downing a fifth of scotch every night until his liver gives out. In my limited observations, it's more like a group of 16 year old getting blind drunk down by the river in the effects it produces.

I don't think it's all environmental. I think the effects of alcohol are in general different than it is with other racial groups. Incidentally, the effects of sugar appear to also be worse as well. Go to any reservation and look at the incidents of diabetes and obesity. I don't have an explanation... maybe some of it is cultural, but I think there is a genetic/evolutionary component making the effects of alcohol and carbohydrates much more harmful to Native Americans. I think they need to keep looking.

I'm a big fan of Slacks giphy integration (who isn't?) and I've finally gotten over my fear of the command line and been doing some git for the projects at work. At the start the blank screen is the biggest scare, not knowing the initial commands to get you around, but from then on it just gets better and better, I couldn't see myself ever going to a UI version of git now. I totally agree on the benefits of UI as text, but we'll need great ways to onboard people like giphys simple /giphy command. That'll be the key for me.

Japanese parents probably were never warped by "milk carton kids" -- throughout the 1980s and 1990s in the U.S., we'd see missing kids plastered on the sides of our milk cartons. It made people think that kids were being kidnapped by strangers all the time, when in fact nearly all the missing kids shown on the cartons were either runaways or were taken by a parent involved in a custody dispute (bad, sure, but not the same thing as a stranger kidnapping them). The national hysteria that resulted from this led to our current era of helicopter-parented kids. I was a kid just before all this happened, so I consider myself a member of the last generation of free range kids in the U.S.

No, my argument is I don't understand all the excitement here at HN for Soylent. It doesn't seem novel or exciting, but a lot of people act like its the best thing ever invented. I then attempted to guess at the reason, which is that it's marketed towards techies and hackers in the startup scene, which ensure isn't.

Other replies have given me additional information which I'm going to go over. Your's was setting up a straw man argument.
Interesting, but hard. Due to HIPAA, most hospitals can't/won't speak with anyone but the patient about their bill. I sometimes have a hard time handling negotiations for my own spouse, depending upon how picky they are being.
For those that enjoy this story, I'd strongly recommend A Moveable Feast, Hemingway's autobiographical tale of his time in Paris. It feels more "real" coming from him directly, even though he claims that much of it is fiction.

He specifically speaks mournfully about loving two women at the same time, and it's clear in the writing how much it impacted him -- even many years later. A Moveable Feast is the last thing Hemingway wrote before he took his own life.
Fwiw, the claim that the genetic evidence is bunk comes from "Joseph Gone, associate professor of psychology at the University of Michigan", not a social worker.

Comcast's customer service can be spectacularly aggravating, but are that many people really struggling with canceling their primary ISP? I would think something like "Move your Comcast service in 5 minutes" would be more useful. Perhaps even "Get a Comcast service call in 5 minutes." Now that would get some downloads in the app store.

You were doing so well until you brought up the CPS boogeyman, which is as much a part of the baseless fear culture you're deriding as anything else.

Getting in trouble with CPS over letting your kid be independent is as unlikely as any of the other horror stories the media (and your friend's cousin's hairdresser) pushes about childhood. CPS employees are stretched thin on full-blown abandonment and horrifying abuse cases, and don't care if some kid walks down the street alone.

Lived there for 10 years with two young children and I completely agree with your first point. The sense of community and shared responsibility is much greater there IMO.
The other important note is that the environment for teachers is good. We get lots of great people into teaching right after college through Teach for America and other programs, but they don't want to stay teachers.
Pretty cool, I've looked at some of the other alternatives mentioned in the comments before (huboard, waffle, zenhub), this actually looks like it may be more to my liking than the rest... Unfortunately, I'm now working in an environment where this won't be useful to me.

Some suggestions on other integrations... Stash, GitLab, BitBucket, Github Enterprise... Stash and GH Enterprise might be more difficult.

Except that neither of those examples involve new substances. Lactose has been around for literally millions of years. Genes for dealing with it, or not, are part of what makes us mammals (ie things with mammary glans that nurse their young). And the gene found in the Inuit has not appeared recently. It exists nearly worldwide and is far older than its recent rise to prominence in the inuit. It has not evolved anew.

Alcohol is new. While old genes may have evolved to deal with addiction generally, any gene specifically addressing alcohol could not possibly have evolved in the brief time the new world native communities were genetically disconnected from europe/asia/africa.

I also seriously doubt that alcohol was predominant enough in any ancient population for it to have an impact on survivability. Only the rich could afford to drink that much.

Compare the Ensure[0] nutrition facts with Soylent 2.0[1]. Note specifically that 1 Ensure is 220 calories vs Soylent's 400, so you'll need to basically double everything on the Ensure's nutrition facts page.

I don't take either Ensure or Soylent (and I'm not sure that USDA recommendations for a 2k calorie diet are that good). It appears that Ensure tries to match a 100% USDA recommendation for caloric profile (at 9 servings per day fat/carbohydrates almost add up to 100%), while providing way over the recommendations on vitamin/minerals (~225% for most, close to 500% for a couple). On the flip side, Soylent appears to try to hit the vitamins/minerals 100%, while having a high fat, low carbohydrate profile (175% fat, 60% carbohydrates).

On the whole, it looks like they are not really replacements for each other, other than in the broad category of "meal replacements" since the caloric profile, and serving sizes are so far away from each other.

Personally, I'd go with the high fat, low carbohydrate version since I've found that those types of meals (in general, not specifically for "meal replacements") tend to keep me more satiated for longer periods of time.

Understood and thanks for answering.
>These are subjective terms.

So? All culture is subjective. What is offensive in one culture can have a completely different meaning in other cultures [0]. Cultures are the result of human opinions and by definition that makes them subjective.

Human interpretation of actions, symbols, words, or what have you that defines is a culture is the direct result of a group of peoples' collective opinions given to those actions, symbols, words, or what have you. Cultural appropriation is taking something away from a culture and trying to give it a new meaning, particularly with a meaning that the original group dislikes.

Which is little more than "Our opinion on this thing came before your opinion. You're being rude by ignoring our opinion on this thing and we don't like that."

His point isn't "do evil so that good may come", but rather "it is better (for us) for those who do evil to do it openly so we can unite against it, rather than for it to be done with subtlety so that we remain unable to combat it."
I don't think it's appropriate to complain about an article being incomplete when it was written to be a facet of a more complete series of articles.

That is, this article 'gloss[ed] over an important cultural norm' because it is mentioned in other Atlantic articles. Specifically, the text "Finnish schools have received substantial media attention for years now" links to another Atlantic article which says:

> For Sahlberg what matters is that in Finland all teachers and administrators are given prestige, decent pay, and a lot of responsibility. A master's degree is required to enter the profession, and teacher training programs are among the most selective professional schools in the country. If a teacher is bad, it is the principal's responsibility to notice and deal with it.

and the text "because of the consistently strong performance of its 15-year-olds on international tests like the PISA" links to another Atlantic article which says:

> Teachers have a lot of autonomy. They are highly educated--they all have master’s degrees and becoming a teacher is highly competitive.

Instead, and in the same paragraph, the author says that this article will more specifically provide 'coverage on Finland’s youngest students', which the author thinks has been missing, and not cover the entire topic of Finnish schooling.
I saw that you're collecting credit card numbers on your form... You know that if you are storing them on your servers, you need to follow FDIC regulations, right? Otherwise, you are exposing yourself to a huge liability.

Edit: I meant PCI, not FDIC

One big limitation in Super Mario Maker is that objects too far horizontally offscreen are not simulated and may "de-spawn". Here's a more detailed description of the rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/MarioMaker/comments/3lcrqb/super_ma...

This means you have to include Mario's position in your design if the device is larger than the horizontal simulation area. Just chaining together NAND gates isn't necessarily enough.

Being "offered" a job is significantly different than being offered pet insurance.

Not in a sellers' market, which tech hiring is right now.

The email/messages from recruiters at issue are the ones that are obviously the result of lame mailmerges and/or show a complete lack of time or effort to understand the person being recruited.

Additionally, a job offer from someone you know, and who knows you, is much more valuable than a job offer from someone contacting you out of the blue who is working to bring people in. A job offer from some who knows you, is a peer, and who is recruiting for the company they work for is even more valuable (because by working there, they are vouching for the company).

It really feels like we are gutting our education system with this kind of nonsense. It's so weird. We do so poorly in our education system, yet rather than simply doing what the effective and successful education systems and societies do, we decide that we need to change everything and now deprive children of playing as if they are some kind of little adults.
The Zappos holacracy, Edward Tufte’s sparklines, and an 11×17 printer
Agreed. What the researchers showed is that crows seem to have a recognition of death. That is distinct from having a self-preservation instinct.

If you find yourself surprised by what scientists are surprised by, perhaps the fault is more likely to be with your own understanding of what the scientists are actually doing.
Thanks! We're glad you like the idea!

Depends on what kind of security boundary. You could only allow zerotier traffic, in which case the container only lives on the virtual net and no "real" traffic flows. You could also have the preloaded intercept library forbid any other traffic, isolating the process network wise. It's a total socket API takeover.

And yes there are other mechanisms than LD PRELOAD. It can also be explicitly linked into a binary if you do want to rebuild, or linked into libc, or linked into everything via the dynamic linker configuration files. The latter us how an entire container as opposed to a process can be placed into a virtual net.
The ‘Oh, Shit’ Moment When Growth Stops
Yeah. I run ~1 autonomous retry then alert/log and pass the decision upstream.

I tend to find more than 1 retry with a clear timeout is better. [e.g. I know after Y seconds that X is dead to the world and it can be safely re-ran from the top]
Isn't that still self-preservation? I have no idea how self-preservation can be distinguished from fear of death, or even if there is any distinction.
It's a shame and we will be reaping the side effects of this for decades to come.

10 years ago I never paid a toll except when travelling interstate over long distances. Voyaging through the DC-NY Megalopolis would cost about $15.

It now costs about $70.

What's worse, most intra-city travel is or will eventually be pay-per-use. This is already happening in DC and other large US cities, as major throughways are first converted to HOA lanes (2 or three users/auto), and then fully transitioned to completely tolled. Pay up or sit in traffic.

For example, within about a 15 mile radius of DC's Beltway, I get charged about $35 / week for my basic commute and one or two trips into the District. This is using only about 8 gallons of gas. Coworkers that must take certain costly routes (on privatized tolls no less) pay easily triple that.

Essentially, this is just another 'tax' or wealth transfer between young and old, IMO, that governments have added to cover up the collapsing local financial pyramids.
Maybe other people have their own definitions? That seems ok by me.
It's not a binary question, nature or nurture, here. It can be both.
