Co-ops are great! I am from a part of the US that has a lot, thanks to the trickle-down influence of all the left-wingers in northern Minnesota and upper Michigan (Wisconsin seems to have a different ethnic mix and lots of farmer co-ops but not as many buyer co-ops.) It seems to be a good time for co-ops again in some parts of the US: they're growing lots of places and they can be a good investment when they're expanding. Kudos to the Greensboro-ans, and I hope they see the power they can wield when they work together!
No. If anything, it blows it up. If (natural) language were a constraint on thought, these kids would have been almost incapable of thought at the founding of the school. (You really do have to see what the older "kids"—at twenty-ish—were like, even in the new world, with a halting handle on some parts of the newly-emerging language and nothing really but mimicas—miming gestures—to work with.)
You mean GNU/Linux. Where is RMS and what have you done with him!?
The museums with the most renown collections* are often the worst at telling the story of why those artifacts are special. Great if you're a historian, a useless collection of old broken things if you're a kid, and incompletely impressive artifacts for laymen.

*I'm looking at you, British and Egyptian Museums.

Slowly, a handful of museums are catching on. The Holocaust museum in Washington, DC may be the best use of a collection out there.

dude, I lived in that society, seen how my parents, both university educated were punished, because they didn't belong to communist party and high education was something undesirable (like in all similar oppressive regimes). my luck was I was young enough to see things as they were (lack of freedom of speech, movement and all else), but I wasn't grown up yet to be a cog in the wheel, with very strict boundaries of what is allowed and what not.

now, what's your experience?

No, there are plenty of children who cycle to school and in safety in the UK. The bigger issue is parents' fears of abduction and/or traffic.

I have taken my children to the Prado several times, and also to the Thyssen and Reina Sofia. They enjoyed their visits, mostly because there were specially made for kids: they had a guide for a group of 10-12 kids, the visits had a theme like Greek mythology, and they only stopped in front of a few paintings.

I liked the Thyssen visits the most: only 5-6 paintings with a common theme like music, cities, people... and at the end the kids would do a craft based on what they just saw. The guides took a socratic approach to the visits, so instead of explaining they asked questions like What do you see here? Why did the artist did that? Who is this person in the painting? Was he rich? Is she happy?

We parents were with them but weren't allowed to speak before the kids, only to help when they struggled with a question. It was delightful to see the children's imagination run wild with their interpretation of the paintings.

Seeing only a few paintings but really being in front of them for a while was a new experience for me, used to the common mindset of having to see all paintings in a museum even if only for a few seconds.
Just because some people suffer from side effects doesn't mean it's a bad option for everyone. Both medically speaking and from a maintenance point of view, the pill is still a good default for most women.

Cultural support may have dwindled into nothingness by now (especially in the US), but every single woman using it that I talked to said she enjoyed the amount of control it gave her and that it greatly increased her quality of life.

I can't imagine those who already know this measure of comfort and control would react positively to "hey, we'll take this away from you, but here, have a period tracker app in exchange". I realize it's a controversial hypothesis, but I suspect the market for period tracker apps is so large because the majority of women don't have access to, or even factual knowledge about, the alternative due to mostly cultural reasons.

Libertarianism was tried in the US during the Gilded Age

It's very popular among some people to quote the Gilded Age as an alleged failure of libertarianism, but they can never seem to pinpoint just exactly how it was libertarian. Certainly, the climate was economically liberal... and that was about it. The Gilded Age was about industrialization, not any political order. There was no one there to "try" anything. I assume China and Singapore are libertarian, too?

[citation needed]

I don't know about communism. Where libertarianism is concerned, there is no evidence for it being tried beyond a post facto shoehorning of the Gilded Age as "libertarian" for what was just economic liberalism. Sounds like people who criticize it don't have any idea of what it entails.

5 important lessons in 5 days
Anyone have comments/inisght as to why Clojure would have lost traction over the past year? Just curious as my impression of the language is that, relative to other functional languages, it's very useful for highly parallel computational analysis (see: ML/AI, data science, CFD/FEA, numerical analysis etc.). Many of these sub-fields are "in vogue", so I would have expected to see the opposite trend...

Anyone have insight they could offer? Thanks

>The masses are pretty important in discussions about what kind of society we ultimately want.

This might be true, while it being true that the masses are largely irrelevant at implementing the societies that we have and live under… hence why organizations with the resources and power, can tend to drive what the masses can see and withhold things from a public that is all too willing to accept things at face value.

The Psychological Price of Being Honest Online
Right now the biggest threat I find is the lack of options in terms of ISP for most people, and somewhat mass surveillance which will likely be used for profit rather than prevention of illegal activity. ISP's that are creating arbitrary data caps, filtering/throttling or modifying content as it comes in, and little is being done by the FCC to stop it, these are the most dangerous trends.

That sounds sensible.

Kids - even bright kids - aren't going to be able to understand or appreciate art the way adults do.

So I mostly agree with the article. Dragging kids around museums they're visibly bored by to "improve" or "educate" them is a waste of time for everyone.

I used to love the Science Museum in London as a kid, because there were buttons to push and levers to play with and giant aeroplanes and spaceships. And sometimes, computers.

As an adult I really enjoy art galleries (and science museums.) But I can't imagine six year old me getting anything out of gallery visits at all. Art is too abstract and emotionally complex for pre-teens, and the history to give it a context is too distant from their experience.

Adding 10 percent more road capacity leads to 3-6 percent more vehicle miles in the near term and 6-10 percent more over many years.

So... sounds like less traffic. Wonder why the title says "more traffic".

Some of the cars on a new highway lane have simply relocated from a slower alternative route. But many are entirely new. They reflect leisure trips that often go unmade in bad traffic, or drivers who once used transit or carpooled, or shifting development patterns, and so on.

Those all sound like good things. The point of roads is to use them. So people use them to have a shorter commute, or live a bit further away from work to lower rent, etc etc etc.

What is the actual problem? Did anyone actually expect that building more roads would lead to no increase in road usage?

This is super powerful, @magic_man, in terms of orienting the field around designing solutions that meet users where they are (vs. approaching design from a "remediation" vantage point). I previously worked for a non-profit working to build the financial capability of low-income youth here in America. We discovered that 85% of youth have mobile phones, though a much smaller percentage belong to families that are connected to the financial mainstream (many use fringe banking services). This was a critical insight for us; it led us to design a smartphone application that issued teens digital challenges designed to build financial health. Platform decision-making is paramount.

Interesting....a friend of mine has a daughter learning Greek. She asked if Greek comics used "ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ" (Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet) to depict snoring.

I wanted to know the answer, so I embarked on a journey of Greek comic searches for people snoring and eventually I found this comic [1]. It shows people using Greek to communicate, but then the person sleeping is saying "ZZZZZZZ". I find it hilarious and interesting because Greek doesn't have the letter Z.

Many countries in Europe have a clear generational change ongoing: young people are much less likely to get a car or a driver's license. I would expect HN just to reflect this general trend.
*The vast, vast, VAST majority of people _in the US_ don't hate cars

People generally don't hate their own culture. But it's obvious from a european perspective that the US has an unhealthy obsession about cars. Not that we hate cars, but we don't worship them either.

And I don't think HN hates cars. All I've seen is people pointing out real issues. Maybe some exaggeration here and there, but everyone is guilty of that.

Canonical depends on their community for everything from the very OS (Debian) to marketing to support.

Yet, they're crippling their community at the same time with their IP policy and their general refusal to integrate with software projects they depend on for survival.

This is, simply, unsustainable. Canonical cannot fork everything and do their own thing (not without quickly going bankrupt – unlike Apple, which has no problem with say, developing their own SMB stack if needed); and they cannot continue alienating potential (and current) users and upstream sources.

In my experience this sort of situation is helpful for business owners who want some sort of enhanced police presence, building owners looking to solve traffic problems with their garages and event runners who want some (really) enhanced security.

These are all things that even well funded police departments would not really consider.

The nice thing about these arrangements is that the person or organization paying for the off duty cops can exercise some control over them.

It is similarly popular among some to paint libertarianism as some lofty ideal distant from any actual human history so that post facto it can never have been tried so it always holds its promise.

China and Singapore are most certainly not libertarian as they impose very strong central government regulations, whereas gilded-age America had a small and weak government, and was almost devoid of regulation (at least de facto; any de jure regulation could be skirted with bribes). The result was neo-feudalism, which came as a surprise to no one as feudalism has grown organically in almost every society with a weak government in human history, and with similar results -- a handful of people enjoying the product of the miserable masses.

It is insulting from you to call the demand for inclusion and giving back as "myopic" and "abhorrent".

Like with social interaction, we don't need everybody to be the same, but we very much demand some core principles to be followed. Would you call that myopic and abhorrent?

Why two .map operations? Three reasons.

#1- If I'm dealing with some legacy code that I don't know well, and it's mapping from one object to a property of it that is another object... well, I'm not 100% certain it's not null.

.map(a -> a.getB())
.map(b -> b.getC())

if a.getB() is null, Optional eats it and I'm safe from NPE- I just an a non present Optional value.

.map(a -> a.getB().getC())

If B is null, I'm going to NPE here (... right? I'm like 99% sure of that, but correct me please). And there are counter arguments like "never be null", etc, but I've got legacy code to cleanup, and no one taught the person who wrote it that particular lesson.

#2- Ease of understanding. Little jumps rather than big ones. Makes the code easier to understand for the next guy who has to work on it. As much as I can, I try to write code that requires no commenting- because it's so clean it's not needed.

#3- The compiler will (or will eventually) optimize it into a single map anyways. Compilers are smart and keep getting smarter. So long as my big-O runtime is fine, I just focus on ease of understanding of my code.

I'm waiting for the Tiko 3D printer to arrive that I backed on Kickstarter for $179.
The original delivery was to begin in November, however it's delayed (surprise!) - however, it sounds as if the delay isn't so bad so I hope to have it early next year.

The Tiko is at a really sweet price spot. While I've had access to an Ultimaker printer (around 1000€ when it was purchased), at below $200, even just occasional printing makes it interesting to have a 3d printer at home.
Without a heated bed, I'll take HIPS over PLA any day. Way fewer misprints with it over the course of several kg worth of filament.
