We tolerate it because its normal, ie how things work out in nature unless we try to intervene, is simply the naturallistic fallacy. While in fact what happens in nature really doesn't imply anything about anything's desirability, which is what is at issue here.

Now, no doubt their responsibility is different, because their brains are different. It'd be appaling to jail a kid on charges of assault for a fight in school ofc.

However, this def does not mean that getting bullied wouldn't have similarly negative effects on the kid, as it would on the adults (easily worse, given the kid's personality is only forming).

Hence, the op was suggesting, rationally, preventing it should be just as high of a priority to the school, as it would be to the judicial apparatus in the case of adult assault.

Instead, it is just normal. And that is appaling.
Gotta love a little competition.
Not sure what you mean by 'why' here but scientists have done a lot of experimenting with psychological experiments, neurology and the like and there hasn't been much sign of spiritual mechanisms outside the physical world. Now if seances worked better or reality was like Ghostbusters that might be counter evidence.

I believe there is a way a to end ideology in our ( well, maybe your ) lifetime(s). I see less and less ideology day by day. I think that Wm. F Buckley invented this with "Firing Line". And with the Internet, it's eminently possible to train ordinary people in the rhetorical skills necessary to oppose ideology as a force in politics.

And if I may, Trump is what a non-ideological politician looks like. So... his process is more akin to a standup comedian, refining his material in front of an audience.
This is an interesting experiment.

This being said, people throw the F-word (Fascism) around like they know what it means. The US was much more explicitly (economically) Fascist when J.K. Galbraith wrote "The Modern Industrial State" - there was little diversity in large business, central planning was believed-in and employment was cradle-to-grave. The U.S. is oh-so-very-much more free market, with (IMO) relatively weak challenges of the Piketty sort. I think his is important work but it's merely a grain of sand around which more analysis is needed.

The strengthening of the Presidency ( and presumably, the weakening of the Legislature ) is due to one thing - nuclear weapons. The election cycle and advertising hasn't helped.

There is perfectly useable nonfiction entertainment product out there. CSPAN for one. How do we get our friends and family to pay attention to it? Once you've developed a taste for it, the other stuff is clangorous and dissonant.

But again, the solution is to embrace the core Liberal Art - rhetoric - at the level of the public, as it was (more) in say, the 1950s in NYC.

But people are going to have to stop with criticizing the religious, the irreligious, the Left and Right and come to a human level understanding how it is that we are divided, what the limitations of our positions are. I do this with people I care about, I believe as a service. Or maybe I'm just a blowhard. I am Skeptical :) of that. If your politics are what props up your personal sense of identity, you're in trouble.

Really cool, especially the morphing stuff which is amazingly convincing. On the other hand the drawing stuff, I just still can't get over the feeling that it's very similar to looking up best matches in a database, perhaps slightly morphed to better match the input. I guess that's more or less what it is..

There's also value in having a shared culture when in social scenarios. Those hours of watching Simpsons episodes over and over give me points of reference and things to discuss with new people. Those social connections and the ability to make new social connections help when thrown into a new situation (going to college, starting a new job, moving to a new state, ending a relationship and rebuilding social connections).

I wonder if it's some innate drive for kids because it comes up in multiple generations; listening to music, watching tv, on facebook or youtube?
" . . . a website for contractors." I think that might be relevant. Not that I expect the WSJ to challenge the status quo. Any serious analysis would have to consider Copenhagen, Paris, Singapore, Austin at the least. And take livability analyses seriously, too.

I think it's important to realize that advertising is mostly lying. Once you realize that, you can be a much more careful purchaser of $stuff. Sure it takes time to figure out what you really need/want, but you've got a lifetime to do so. What is real, what is just some myth you've been following to make sense of the world (which does NOT make sense?) Sometimes you've gotta jump and latch onto another myth.

It's interesting how people are calibrated differently it comes to measuring 'hard work'. The difficult thing about startups is that the correlation between hard work and success isn't very strong.

It might be the case that a PhD is very hard. My idea of it is just based on third-party observation and discussions with people who have done it. I suppose some people have a harder time than others.

I worked on two open source projects for 6 years in total for about 20 to 30 hours every week in addition to my 40 hour per week day job. My first project had around 500 commits and was about 10K lines of code. My latest project has well over 1000 commits and probably 15K lines of code (I contributed about 80% to 90% of the code and it went through several rewrites). I also wrote the documentation for the project mostly on my own - There are almost 30 pages of technical documentation - About 15K wordcount. I did it for $0 - All I got out of it was experience, industry connections and some nice job offers.

I feel like I worked hard. Almost certainly harder than anyone I know. But I know for sure that some people on HN will read the paragraph above and think that I'm actually a lazy entitled millennial.
There actually were apps just like it - Orkut and Friendster for example.

I like that idea. I think we can do several things when it comes down to tracking changes:

* make it easier to pause when a reference is set/get
* make conditional breakpoints more of an every-day experience
* better symbol search so that it is easier to see the different variable references and add the right breakpoints
Just because there's a potential conflict of interest doesn't mean they're lying. I think this heuristic will quickly lead you astray if you rely on it too heavily.

Here is the same argument, substituted with different groups:

- Do you trust climate scientists, when their prestige is tied to how important their field is?

- Do you trust the science on vaccines, when the public health system relies on people's willingness to be vaccinated?

- Do you trust that Obama isn't lying about being an American, given that was running for President?

- Do you trust yourself, given that psychological research shows that data that contradicts a strong belief tends to reinforce that belief?

If you're going to call someone or some group a liar, I think it takes a lot more evidence than just 'they might have a plausible incentive to lie'.

To answer your question though, I have several technical concerns about how CPI inflation is calculated, but I definitely don't think it's due to someone actively deciding to fudge the figures.

Generally good advice, of course.

However, I note as a counter example that the last time I asked a member of the public for directions it was in the US, in Baltimore, the morning before a riot. He directed us to a station far from where we needed to be and in an area of town which looked a bit dodgy.

I agree with you that the pick up in pace of Github's lacking features has been phenomenal, and I don't really quite understand all the love of GitLab except rooting for the underdog. Github is the clear industry leader, has been since essentially it's creation. It is very fast and feature-filled. It is the central location for the vast majority of code I use and see. Since the open letter to Github with the complaints of feature requests, they've really stepped up their game and made competitors really non-starters from my point of view.

The distinction you draw is flawed. The difference between equity and debt financing for any investment - whether it's buying a car, a house, or starting a startup - is really a qualitative one, and neither good nor bad.

Residential mortgages made houses affordable, but they also directly led to the historic inflation in housing prices that has happened over the last half-century. The vast quantities of capital that were unlocked into the residential mortgage market by mortgage-backed securities had exactly the same dualistic effect: they made it easier for middle- and low-income families to buy homes, and eventually inflated the market to dangerous degrees.

Providing senior equity, or junior debt, to finance these transactions will do exactly the same thing. It will make it easier in the short term to buy a house. It will mean that you can finance your house purchase without locking yourself into excessively high monthly payments. And, if successful, it will eventually mean that so many more people can afford houses that the prices will rise in the future.

This is just like how a judicious combination of venture capital and venture debt helps you finance your startup for a minimum of dilution, without excessively high monthly debt payments, but the availability of capital means that rent in SF is inflated.

Yes, Point and its financiers will get rich on this, as did the first mortgage-backed securities dealers and the institutional investors that backed them. But so did the people who bought houses in the 90s with suddenly flush access to mortgage financing.

I think you're both making different points. Yes, a PhD is a lot of work (I'd assume, haven't got one). Maybe more work than a startup. But it's not "hard" work in the sense that you don't have a 90% chance of your thesis being rejected despite you trying your hardest. You don't have to be scared of Google catching wind of your thesis and publishing a better version before you can finish it. Your advisor doesn't take on 10 graduate students and encourage practices that will cause 9 to fail but 1 to succeed beyond anyone's dreams. Messing it up doesn't mean you don't have to tell 30 people that they need new jobs.

Maybe I'm interpreting the GP post wrong, but I take their use of "hard" to mean "unfair and stressful", and your use of "hard" to mean "high quantity and quality of work."
At ZenHub, we have already starting working on some integrations with this functionality which you can read more about here - https://www.zenhub.com/blog/dispatches-from-github-universe/

Our focus is going to remain on how to integrate a full-featured project management suite within the GitHub eco-system. The GitHub projects release will make a great foundation, and ZenHub will be there to provide the more advanced features like issue hierarchy (epics), time estimation and reporting. Lots of exciting releases coming soon for ZenHub users :)
It's kinda funny how the semantics of this thing are so non-obvious and nuanced, that it takes so much effort to explain to people how it works :)
I had the same question, found the answer here: http://sci.esa.int/gaia/58209-gaia-s-first-sky-map/ it says > The two bright objects in the lower right of the image are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way. Other nearby galaxies are also visible, most notably Andromeda (also known as M31), the largest galactic neighbour to the Milky Way, in the lower left of the image. Below Andromeda is its satellite, the Triangulum galaxy (M33).
In every instance that I was bullied and the bully stopped messing with me, it was because I stood up for myself, either by telling the kid off or slapping/punching the kid in front of all their friends and embarrassing them.

Anecdotal, as every case of bullying is different, but it seems to be the more efficient solution than telling the teachers/administration, who do little to nothing about it.

Nobody "deserves" or should "expect" a lifestyle. Life is simply a series of choices. If you choose to have a $40,000 car on 100K income, then you choose to take money from your stocks because you choose a lifestyle over substance.

I don't know much about it, but I was browsing Apple accessories the other day, and in the accessibility section, there is this amazing device[1]. As I understand it, somehow it takes the text on screen and raises tiny dots to make braille that can be re-written very quickly. I assume blind people knew about this, but I was stunned at how difficult I assumed it was to control the hundreds of dots on even a small display.

Similarly, MOOCs with good captions plus these kinds of devices probably works at least as well as being in a classroom.

OP here:

Certain goods have high status and markup but aren't high quality.

Can you think of a strategy of finding great quality items that don't have a luxury "tax" bumping up margins far than a typical good, due to the status they communicate to others.

In other words, how does one find high quality items without status included in price?

Let's say I'm buying a wallet and I would like to find a very high quality wallet (workmanship, materials, design). Let's also say I'm willing to spend a limitless amount for the wallet.

How would I find the sweetspot of a top quality wallet, but with the least amount of markup due to perceived luxury/social status?
