Parents have also done pretty heinous activities in the name of parental discretion. Simply pointing out that heinous activities have occurred is therefore meaningless.

Government policies also agree "that some discrimination among vaccines is prudent". That why some are mandatory and some are voluntary. That's why the polio vaccine switched from using attenuated live viruses to dead ones, even though the latter isn't as effective.

There is no requirement that everyone follow a vaccination schedule. As I pointed out, there are good medical reasons for why someone might not be vaccinated.

The question is, should non-medical reasons be enough to justify a variance? Should a general sense of malaise be enough? Or, if someone expresses a concern that their child might get ill as a result of a vaccine, and that concern - based on knowing the counts rather than expressed by people who don't - has already been factored into the decision to require vaccination, then should the opinion of one non-expert parent overweigh the opinions of thousands of experts made as the result of decades of study, with open publications and public participation, and repeated in scores of countries?

Any absolute statement like yours, which says the parent's discretion comes first, means there is no way to keep a parent from heinous activities, nor for that matter can children be required to go to school.

We see this tension already for Jehovah's Witnesses, where doctrine prohibits the use of blood transfusions. If a 2 year old needs surgery which requires a blood transfusion, should the JW parent have a right to let the child die in order to follow the faith? The US says (as do other countries) the doctor has the right to overrule the parent's wishes in that case.

Do you want otherwise?

I'm in my mid-40s and making the same amount in Ohio as a "Senior Software Engineer". But, I've been with the same small company for about 20 years. No degree, though, just self-taught and the odd online course here and there.

I have the feeling that I'm shorting myself quite a bit, maybe by $30K or more according to the salaries I researched several years ago for similar roles (full-stack dev minus visual design) in the same town.

My problem is I got comfortable. I get along with the boss and other employees (and one of them has been there almost as long as I have!), and am afforded some perks that are very useful, such as flexible hours, private office, no supervisor (just the boss/owner), etc.

And, due to being "comfortable", I haven't pushed for occasional raises or seriously shopped around for better positions. In fact, I think the only reason I wrote this was for it to act as an attempt to nudge myself away from "comfortable".

TLDR: don't get too comfortable.

Hooray for the scientific type approach of trying drug policies and studying the results. I'm ambivalent about marijuana legalisation and the results look fairly neutral but there are other policies like prescribing heroin like drugs to addicts so as to cut out the pushers, thefts and deaths through bad drugs that could probably save thousands of lives. I hope those get some experimentation and testing too.

There's a small scale experiment here http://health.spectator.co.uk/the-case-for-prescription-hero...

Excerpt:

>Inspector Michael Lofts studied 142 heroin and cocaine addicts in the area, and he found there was a 93 per cent drop in theft and burglary. ‘You could see them transform in front of your own eyes,’ Lofts told a newspaper, amazed. ‘They came in in outrageous condition, stealing daily to pay for illegal drugs; and became, most of them, very amiable, reasonable law-abiding people.’ He said elsewhere: ‘Since the clinics opened, the street heroin dealer has slowly but surely abandoned the streets of Warrington and Widnes.’

Interesting, I always assumed there would be no protection laws as it has free trade agreements with the EU, but there are actually exceptions (from Wikipedia).

"The European Free Trade Association (EFTA) is a regional trade organisation and free trade area consisting of four European states: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland.[1] The organisation operates in parallel with the European Union (EU), and all four member states participate in the EU's single market.[2]
...
It allows the EFTA-EEA states to participate in the EU's Internal Market without being members of the EU. They adopt almost all EU legislation related to the single market, except laws on agriculture and fisheries. "
Technically, I think that might be possible.

The problem with that, no one except the US military and government knows for sure, whether they have far IR aka thermal imaging sensors on their satellites, or they don’t.

Ask. I had a conversation with the VP of Eng where I told him that's what I wanted, asked if it was a possibility and what I needed to do to make it happen. He told me what he thought I needed to learn and allowed me to take a couple of hours each week to read, meet with other managers and otherwise prepare. A few months later, when a position became open, he gave me a trial run which converted to perm after a successful month.

Most engineering leadership is very reasonable with requests like this provided you are a very strong performer with the respect of the engineering organization.

You forgot municipal tax, which is 119% of cantonal in Zürich. 40% tax rate that I was talking is marginal tax rate, i.e. from a certain and fairly low point the state will pocket 400 Fr in taxes out of every additional 1000 Fr of your income. And then there's 5.1% AHV and other social things on top...
I suppose the example is poor, then. Food chemist are pretty much trained to do a rather narrow range of jobs, pretty much all called something with "food chemist". A mathematician (and most other academic degrees[1]) isn't really trained to do any particular job at all (except research, I suppose), so they need to cast a wide net. A better example might be a "Java Programmer" not even considering looking at job postings in the .NET section?

1: Plenty of vocational training takes place at universities and have degree-titles attached to them. That doesn't make them academic pursuits. I say this as a polytech-rebranded-as-"university"-trained engineer and I firmly believe that I shouldn't hold a degree that implies that I have an academic education.

Thanks for your comment. I see your point with the missing implementation of "downloadAsync()".

About the "entrance fee": Do you really feel that the shorter version is more difficult for less-experienced devs to understand? The verbose version is unlikely to be easily understandable, in my opinion.

In general, I don't think that more lines of code make something more readable.

It's not quite that simple. The core packages wrap fortran or C code but then additional packages are built on that. Going by the github breakdowns Pandas, SymPy or Jupyter are pretty much pure Python, matplotlib is 90% Python 10% C++ (though the Python ratio is probably skewed up by the in-repo examples).

And that high-performance Fortran or C code is at the root of so much scientific computing is an issue in Go considering the overhead of cgo calls.

>> "... know that you’re in good company. Actors like Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone, musicians such as The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson and Taylor Swift ..."

Not quite the 'company' I had in mind when thinking about anxiety. If the article started out with 'medical residents' or other jobs that are stressful and anxiety-inducing because your ability to do your job correctly and quickly might mean someone else dies, or the success of the company rests on your performance, perhaps I'd take the article seriously. But actors and musicians? Sure, messing up means failure, and failure might mean lost contracts, disappointed fans, and having to let go of the great team of people that got you to success. But anxiety driven by success is not the 'company' that most people can relate to. It's having to perform duties that are put upon you by your job, society, and family that are hardest to deal with. If you're good at these things, you will be successful. But the long road to success is the hard part which causes most people anxiety. Not already achieving it like musicians and actors have. That's a different type of anxiety that most people can't relate to.

To quote Pedro Domingos in "The Master Algorithm" [1]:

> But everyone has only a sliver of it [information about you]. Google sees your searches, Amazon your online purchases, AT&T your phone calls, Apple your music downloads, Safeway your groceries, Capital One your credit-card transactions. Companies like Acxiom collate and sell infor- mation about you, but if you inspect it (which in Acxiom’s case you can, at aboutthedata.com), it’s not much, and some of it is wrong. No one has anything even approaching a complete picture of you. That’s both good and bad. Good because if someone did, they’d have far too much power. Bad because as long as that’s the case there can be no 360-degree model of you. What you really want is a digital you that you’re the sole owner of and that others can access only on your terms.

Does this mean that effectively all of Facebook, Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft will have the whole picture? That makes me worried.

Yes and it quickly sidetracks to other things that the parts that are actually of interest, company goals etc. Not so much about automating tasks as the title would suggest.
I tend to disagree with you. First off it will decrease app disconverability. Second, many of indie developers depend on the incode from in-app advertisement. Now, after the release of AppStore Ads, the money will go directly to Apple instead of small Indie developers.
Discussed in 2015:

"In the current model of the D-Wave chip, there are 1,000 or so qubits [quantum bits], but they’re organized into clusters of eight qubits each."

"what the Google paper finds is that Selby’s algorithm, which runs on a classical computer, totally outperforms the D-Wave machine on all the instances they tested."

Now they've just made a machine of twice as much qubits but is there any performance advantage compared to the code run on the classical computer?

I like this, an honest analysis.

One major argument about crime I didn't see addressed was the revenues going to organised criminal gangs before and after.

I'm also not sure about the paper's claim that advocates claim a fall in crime, in general, from Cannabis legalisation. I can see the argument that decriminalising and medicalising heroin addiction may decrease various forms of crime, particulary acquisitive crime. But with cannabis?

> have you ever tried to forward a PGP message?

I believe this is a solvable UI / UX problem; what you are in fact criticizing is not the OpenPGP format of asymmetric keys, but rather the conventional implementations of PGP, based around GPG. I agree that GPG is not very user-friendly for the use cases at hand; but surely things can be improved on this front while not ditching the general PGP model itself?

edit as to the more technical issues, e.g. lack of PFS, core issue of initializing WoT, the defaults in the PGP format etc., yes, they suck, but surely one could iterate on the UX side of things, abstracting all internals behind a more general PGP API, and later gracefully changing the internals themselves, too? Not saying it's a piece of cake or anything!

"The French tourist officials make sure to monetize the Louvre for all they can."

The access to the Louvre (permanent collection) is free for :

everyone under 18 years old whatever the nationality,

every resident of the European Economic Area (31 countries) under 25 years old,

everyone under 26 years old whatever the nationality the Friday from 6 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.,

everyone the first sunday of each month between october and march and on july 14th,

other specific groups of people,

And it is 15€ for everyone else for a day. Not what I would call particularly excessive.

http://www.louvre.fr/en/hours-admission/admission

The Louvre still relies mainly on public subvention (102 M€ in 2015) tickets bring ~65M€, private subventions ~12M€.

App discovery feels utterly broken
Isn't that just "Ops"?
You know it's funny how Socialists complain about evil businesses and IT professionals with their high income/profit being the cause for the insane real estate prices in San Francisco and other places when it is really their beloved government (I don't buy for a second that central banks are really independent) causing this by handing out free money to those who held stocks by artificially inflating the stock markets.

Of course these people are going to diversify because they can see the writing on the wall. So what are they going to invest in? Tangible assets like real estate. Here in the EU real estate has basically doubled in price during the last 4 years and people complain that they can't afford the rent anymore, yet the governments have been successful in convincing the majority that it's actually these evil Capitalists who are the cause for this.
A Nonlinear History of Time Travel
Many people get ground in the gears of the criminal justice system in the U.S. with charges of marijuana possession. In my state, sharing with a friend can get you hit with a possession with intent to sell or deliver charge, which is a felony.

A felony conviction almost guarantees you'll do time. You will go to jail. You will probably lose your job and have trouble getting a new one. Life changes in significant ways. But in jail, you will have met people, and those people may have opportunities for you. Some people decide that since they already have a criminal record after that first conviction, they might as well take risks to get by.

Let me be clear about this. I'm not saying marijuana criminalizes people. I'm saying outlawing marijuana criminalizes people. And it's easy for me to believe that legalizing marijuana is likely to result in an overall fall in the rates of incidence of other types of crime.
