According to United States census data, more than half of homeschooling families have two working parents, compared to half of non-homeschooling families having one working parent and one non-working parent [1]. This data was collected in 2007, so it may differ from today's distribution. I'm not sure how these families pull it off, but academic scores indicate that they apparently do.

It's possible that when the data refers to two parents in the labor force it means that both parents are employable, as opposed to employed. That doesn't make sense to me, however, as it would indicate that half of non-homeschooled families have only one employable parent. Unfortunately, I don't currently have the time to drill down into the raw data to investigate the definition they used.

It actually doesn't matter. It just has to be energy positive and cost competitive.

Take the case of fully tracked wholesale cost of fusion power at $0.01 a kw-h. Would you buy more expensive power just because it had a better EROI?

I looked at XML-RPC when it came out, and knew instantly that it would be a disaster. Even when you took out the XML-ness, the underlying concepts were complicated, badly explained and open to a ton of wiggle room.

Then you add the inefficiencies of XML encoding, and the utterly crappy nature of most XML translation layers . . . yeah, really easy to see the train wreck coming.
In countries where discussing subversive things could get people in trouble with the government, I'd expect people to be cautious about who they discuss such things with. Perhaps foreigners who have only lived there for three years don't make the cut?

> But we don't even have insider trading laws.

Incorrect. While most insider trading prosecutions are done under antifraud provisions of the law, and SEC rules adopted ubder that provision, there is also law directly limiting certain trades of certain insiders (e.g., 15 USC 78p).

> Insider trading is something the courts came up with based on an expanded meaning of fraud.

Even to the extent that we're talking about the kind of insider trading that is prosecutrd,ubder antifraud provisions, this is somewhat misleading in that those provisions are themselves framed differently than the common law definition of fraud, it is not,that the courts have applied an expanded definition of fraud.
It sounds like a cultural solution might be more helpful than a tech solution in this case. Something like a standardized headphones policy. Or separating the people whose work is mostly quiet vs mostly talkative.

My "premise" is that going out of one's way to make someone feel miserable is evil, and therefore unisex toilets in the workplace are nice.
Where the transsexual, queer etc. employees who care are abundant rather than hypothetical, as appears to be the case at Google, unisex toilets are practically important rather than a symbolic gesture.

I don't see not being evil as a controversial issue, with "radically different viewpoints" deserving "open honest dialog".

Unisex toilets are just a simple and inexpensive way to be not evil; unfortunately touching the subject of gender is a strong temptation for many people to divert the discussion towards the most toxic and horrible politically correct or intolerant ideas.

If your premise is considering "protected classes" rather than people and discussing "transgenderism" as if it were abstract you are clearly not thinking about the comfort and well-being of your coworkers.

"Moderates" as in not going to fund suicide bombings, it doesn't mean they are someone who would you want to have afternoon tea.

What people seem not to understand that for the most part moderates in that part of the world as still antithetical to western values; the ones who aren't aren't moderates are extremists just ones who we share values with.

Also as mentioned "family" and keeping power is more important to the moderates than pretty much anything else.

But what they all care about the most is to keep their name, title, wealth and power.
5 Things to Know About Ember 2.10 and Glimmer 2
Zen Option: Be patient. When the ketchup is ready to come out it will. Place it on the counter upside-down. Go do some gardening. Yoga. Meditate.

Physics Option: Centrifuge. Not only does it work, it's the law. Close lid firmly. Point the bottle down. Hold firmly. Spin in large circles. Switch arms if tired.

Physics Option, Extreme Edition: Grab 4 or 5 Walmart (or whatever) grocery bags. Place one inside the other to form one thicker, stronger bag. Place bottle in bag pointing down as much as possible. Remove people and animals from general area. Move way from hanging fans, lights, etc. Grab from handles and spin around at high speed. Works great for Mayo and most other higher viscosity bottled goods.

Environmental Option: The universe doesn't want you to consume this stuff any more. This was your last bottle. You are done. Post about it on Facebook.

Mechanical Option: Find a hydraulic press of at least 1 ton capacity. Place the bottle in it. You might have to sandwich it between two metal plates to cover the more of the bottle. Have the end point in the desired direction. Remove the cap. Squeeeeeeeeez while you catch the ketchup in a cup. Does not work very well for glass bottles.

Chemical Option #1: Place it upside-down in a bath of warm water. Should flow nicely after that. Or is that physics?

Chemical Option #2: Fill with water. Shake vigorously. Empty into sauce pan. Boil off water until desired consistency is achieved. Or, is that physics?

Pessimist Option: The bottle is empty. Forget it.

Optimist Option: Get a gallon jug of ketchup. Re-fill the small bottle. The bottle is full.

Aerospace Option: Place bottle upside-down on a vibration test fixture. Run through a full 6 minute simulation of an orbital launch mission.

Motorsport Option #1: Travel to local skid-pad. Get going as close to 1 g as possible. Point bottle radially outward.

Motorsport Option #2: Get in Tesla. Point bottle to the rear. Engage the most insane acceleration mode. Gun it.

Motorsport Option #3: Sneak into a crash test facility. Strap bottle to the car, point it forward. Conduct crash test against solid wall. Retrieve bottle while pretending to check sensors.

Baseball Option: Pitch the bottle. Have someone hit a home run. Does not work well for glass bottles. Does not work well, period.

Soccer Option: Strap bottle to ball. Have a player kick a penalty shot. Have them fall to the ground and pretend they are hurt for five minutes.

Golf Option: T-off and smack it with 9 iron. Will not work well for glass bottles.

Model Rocketry Option: Strap to rocket. Ignite.

For everything else there's Mastercard.
How I Accidentally Surfed on My Neighbour’s Internet Connection
Well, that's sort of my point. I don't think there is a good solution to empower some entity to decide what values and intents are acceptable.

But I don't think the values and intents of parents keeping their kids at home for schooling are always acceptable, which is emphasized in an exaggerated way in the Dogtooth film.

I'm sure in some cases homeschooling could be beneficial and "better" for an individual child than the existing school system. I just think mistaking homeschooling as an "alternative" to trying to solve problems of the school system is its own dangerous path.

I got `2, 1, 0,`

I read the instruction as: "Set i to 3. Subtract 1 then print until false."

i = 3
3 - 1 = 2, print
2 - 1 = 1, print
1 - 1 = 0, print
0 = false, stop

I see a lot of people complain about using `--` like that but I fail to see what is unintuitive about it if you actually read the code and see what i is initialized as. =\

It's not a failure of the model, and it's unknown if the science failed (as it didn't get a chance to be fully explored), but it's a social/economic/governmental failure. Probably for the same reasons that we are failing to address climate change - in large part, the entrenched interests of existing energy companies.
To be fair, the value of the features you cite are very dependent on the size of the team and the type of work being done. If you're throwing tons of engineers, tests, and money at something--think aircraft or whatever--you're not relying on the language to be smarter than the programmer.

And as for operating systems being written in C and failing, writing a general purpose, hardware agnostic operating system isn't exactly easy. This is not to say that C should be the systems language of choice, or even that C is easier or more stable to write operating systems; just that stuff will be buggy regardless.

And I think your main complaint is stuff like OpenSSL and its vulnerabilities... I don't think I would blame the language there. I would blame age / inherited bugs / lack of testing (amazingly that's the case, but we don't live in a world that's too concerned with the common good).

I agree with you for many, many use cases for a programmer these days... but only if you just contextualize all these assertions.

Thinking about it a bit, it's not a matter of socialization but exposure-- and that applies even moreso to the teacher than the pupil. Take someone who teaches 30 3rd graders reading comprehension for an hour a day, and doing that four years in a row before moving to a different position. That's a way better environment for effective teaching/learning than teaching one's own child by themselves for a single year. Especially when you realize that the classroom has inputs/outputs not only to/from the teacher but among the children as well.

It's huge business and very hard to fight. counter-strike hacks can retail for 60+ dollars. You can even download the hack for trial periods and they have customer service. It's not as innocent as one would think.

The problem is that the lines can get pretty blurry. A long time ago there were transparent hacks for everquest[1] that did packet sniffing, and displayed the information in a friendly UI. So is wireshark a hacking tool? Hard to say.

Firstly, free will isn't what you think it is. A random choice might seem "free" but it's not "willed" in any meaningful sense. So let's leave aside the free will question because that term is pretty much undefined at this point.

What your post sort of hints is what's known as the hard problem of consciousness. I recommend reading the Wikipedia pages on it and qualia if you're interested.

Suffice it to say, given our current understanding of physics, we are no better than finite state automata (see the Bekenstein Bound). The only escape from this inevitability is if we collectively decide that the hard problem of consciousness is irreducible, and then something like panpsychism becomes preferable.

This is unlikely though, and we've been through this once before in the debate over how living matter differs from non-living matter. Must there be some "secret sauce" added to non-living matter to bring it to life? This was the proposal of vitalism, but eventually biology came to prominence and all of those who insisted living matter had to be different just died off and we were left once again with a reducible, mechanistic understanding of living matter. So it will be with consciousness (see [1] for an example of how this might work).

Here I was all this time (several years) thinking CyanogenMod was a product by (Android) hackers for (Android) hackers. Now, I find out it's a product by a company...?

WTF?

I've never used it (and the following is just me talking from my nether regions), but I've always kept it "in my back pocket" as something someday to try out. Why? Because in my mind, it was "non-corporate" - made for the love of the platform, not for money.

Maybe that's the problem. Maybe where things went wrong was when they tried to monetize stuff. Stop doing that - everything isn't about money.

Or at least, it shouldn't be. More often than not, especially in projects like these, money can corrupt and screw up the whole project.

So fork it. Get back to the community, back to the roots. Quit trying to become "the rich guy" - and go back to being "the hacker dude bring cool 5h!7 to the community". Don't even think about the money. If its really worth something, the money will magically appear. Even if it doesn't, what does it matter? It's about the love of the platform, right?

RIGHT?

So fork it. The community will follow, and not look back at what once was, but will look forward to what can be.

Then again, The Gambia is special.

They have held multiparty free and open elections from independance until 1994 (Jammeh's coup). This a continent where most countries had experienced Coups, Single-Party rule or both by 1970.
(The only country with continuous multiparty democracy is Botswana)

Jammeh himself quickly felt the need to organise elections to legitimize his rule. Sure there was intimidation and other manoeuvers but oddly he almost always won with results in the high 50's. Those are crazy tight results by African standards (even in democracies incumbents rarely go lower than 60).

> See here for one example [0]. The SEC does have rules against it, so it's not entirely on a case-by-case basis [1]. It's just the SEC isn't supposed to write law.

https://www.sec.gov/news/testimony/2011/ts120111rsk.htm

> There is no express statutory definition of the offense of insider trading in securities.3 The SEC prosecutes insider trading under the general antifraud provisions of the Federal securities laws, most commonly Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5, a broad anti-fraud rule promulgated by the SEC under Section 10(b). Section 10(b) declares it unlawful “[t]o use or employ, in connection with the purchase or sale of any security . . . any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance in contravention of such rules and regulations as the Commission may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors.”4 Rule 10b-5 broadly prohibits fraud and deception in connection with the purchase and sale of securities. As the Supreme Court has stated, “Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 prohibit all fraudulent schemes in connection with the purchase or sale of securities, whether the artifices employed involve a garden type variety of fraud, or present a unique form of deception,” because “[n]ovel or atypical methods should not provide immunity from the securities laws.”5

Congress wrote some very broad anti-fraud laws, never amended them, and left it up to the SEC to exercise its discretion on what qualified as such practices.
Not quite. Citizenship is a somewhat odd thing (think China or Japan and other places and how they interpret citizenship) in that countries have different views on it and how its gained (some require military service, for example). And the children are no less a citizen, but they are also not less of a citizen of the second country either (which seems to be an implication some are trying to make)

So your parents were not more American than say they were Irish [if their parents were still legally Irish at their births]. They were the same. But we're trying to say they are more American than they are Irish and by law they would not be.

> If your child is gay, the local church youth group is very likely one of the most intense bullying experiences that child will ever experience.

Not only that, but if your child isn't of the inclination to be religious, it will also be a painful experience. Questioning the why behind and benefits of the religious faith of the group leaders and other youth group participants is a great way to be bullied and not only that, told you're wrong for thinking logically. That, plus the associated moralizing (i.e, "there is only one way, the right way, to be") I think are pretty damaging for kids.

Societally we are accepting of many more ways than the one proscribed by many churches. Being of one sexuality or another, or one morality or another, as long as you respect and help your fellow human beings when they are in need, should not matter. I wouldn't expose my kid to anything saying otherwise if I could help it.
I'm not sure I'd characterize it as "jumping through hoops", but Rust does lean strongly towards preferring immutabillity. Variables are immutable unless you give them the "mut" keyword when you declare them, and in cases where you need multiple pointers to the same data, it's impossible (outside of `unsafe` blocks, of course) to make one of them mutable unless you use a safe wrapper type like a`Cell` or `RefCell` (for single-threaded cases) or a `Mutex` or `RwLock` (for when you need to share access across multiple threads). But yeah, there's a strong bias towards immutability in Rust, although from what I understand this is more for safety than performance reasons.

Great suggestion, sorry I am a newbie. Do I have to repost?
I'm glad it's the first time I see that code, instead of a usual for loop.

It doesn't compile in C++. Conditions have to be booleans. i-- is an integer :D

In C, 'true' is defined as anything else than '0', there is no proper boolean types, i-- is an integer which is perfectly okay for conditions, the condition is equivalent "while (i != 0)".

There might be some variations, errors and warnings depending on the compilers, the strictness level and the revision of the language chosen.
> As soon as there is undefined behavior, it's a bug in the code.

I think the emphasis on the original comment should be on the silent part. Nobody is arguing that these aren't bugs in the code; the problem is that you get no help from the compiler or runtime to find them and the damage is more severe than it would be if it simply crashed.
