> An awful lot of the social construct of girl's lives only works if you "marry well" and if marrying well is the only thing you want out of life.

To the extent that this is the expectation on women, it is the expectation on men to be husband material. Straight women in western society are legally and culturally responsible for choosing a husband if they want one (and most do).

The majority of women (and men) want to have kids, either ASAP or eventually, and the best way to raise kids is in a stable marriage. When people encourage you to do this, entirely at your option, they are reinforcing very reliable advice.

If you want an advanced education, great! Nobody has the right to stop you, and nobody should have the right to force you either. Anyone who feels they have the determination and desire to contribute to science or business, and is so passionate that they are willing to forego or delay their personal development, should feel the full support of society.

> I also did not want my sons to grow up and not know how to, for example, feed themselves properly.

Cooking food, especially staple meals, is not gender specific. Every man I know can cook local staple meals (pasta and sauce, omelettes, chili, chicken and vegetable soup, [sometimes soy sauce based vegetable soups, depending on social group]), I see no difference in general adherence to common dietary advice except that the guys maybe like red meat more.

Mere adherence to a gender role is not a moral good in and of itself; but that shouldn't turn people off of them. They give structure on matters that you don't feel all that passionate about.

Yep, and I've explained at length now that your question needs clarifying before any kind of answer can be meaningful.

You asked me to empathise with the views of people helped by the author's apparent smear. I'm sincerely asking you; who are these people you're asking me to empathise with, and how have they been helped?

Without that this is all drearily hypothetical and meaningless.

I assume you mean the case from 2013 in which the asylum status of a German family was challenged? While it's true they seeked asylum in the US to homeschool their children (in 2008 or so), the deportation issue was about the validity of the initial asylum grant, not the homeschooling. It appears they were not deported in the end: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/german-home-school-family-wont-....
Quick way of my friend Joseph to the financial success
Hi, I want to share my story with you.
I work at a small real estate company. My friend Joseph worked with me. He has quit recently and started working on the Internet at home. As I found out later he had taken up binary options and I see that he’s doing well. For example, yesterday he bought a new expensive car and I asked about his new job when I met him near his house. He didn’t tell me all his secrets but told that his new job had fully changed his life! Now he has a lot of free time and money! I can’t but believe him because I saw his new car. We spoke to each other frankly and Joseph told that he used software Bitcoin Сode and Binary Robot 365.
He explained that he earned on Bitcoin cryptocurrency and his work almost fully is done independently. If he loses a little he makes up his losses and starts earning much money due to the adaptive program algorithm! We know that btc has been down rash but it should be raising soon and this is the real chance to break a big jackpot!
Now I can’t work calmly. His success keeps me on the alert. I want to replicate his success. I found on the Internet where one can start this business and I want to share this information with you! Here is the link to BinaryRobot http://biggo.me/binary_robot365 and another software BitcoinCode http://biggo.me/bitcoin_code.
I know that it really works and I will replicate Joseph’s success!
It’s cool!!!

yeah, the worst kind of reduction in inequality -- stealing the work product legitimately earned by the developer.

>...1/2 the price of the other tires and the Chinese tires are shockingly fine
Just because you aren't able to discern the difference between your cheap Chinese tires and real ones doesn't mean that there is no difference. Perhaps they are adequate to the task of your daily driving, or perhaps the difference will only appear when they delaminate/burst/tear off the bead/fail to grip/etc. at the wrong moment and you find yourself in the ditch or in oncoming traffic.

I'm continuously surprised at how credulous the HN readership is about counterfeit/stolen/copied technology (perhaps have a look at my post in my current field of expertise regarding counterfeit carbon bicycles, not unlike tires in complexity [0]). Perhaps HN readers have a bias from experiencing digital copies as 100% reliable, but in the manufacturing world, there are myriad opportunities to introduce bad variables. It's certainly remarkable that the Chinese company has produced a minimally usable tire, but I wouldn't trust my life to it without a lot more testing (for a yard truck, sure, but on the road...).

Have you ever had a blowout in a car? They don't happen like that.

Besides, you're not making this statement to everyone else who has an elevated risk factor - tires are more likely to fail as they age, tires are more likely to fail when they're not properly inflated, or etc. Why single me out? Go lecure the stancenation crowd about their risk factors. Additionally, I carry very good insurance and I drive a lighter car. From a utilitarian perspective, you'd be better off checking truck tires.

I'd rather have my tires than 10 year old Goodyears. In fact, I got my tires because one of my 10 year old tires blew out. My car is safer now than it was prior to installing the Chinese tires.
Jimmy Kimmel gets heated about health-care, Sen. Cassidy ‘lied right to my face’
JS moving in the direction of being compiled, statically typed, and adding lots of boilerplate for various reasons. When I started writing JS, it was partially to get away from these things in the .NET world. So, to be honest I don't enjoy these changes in isolation, but I understand why they are happening.

I like that we're starting to think in a more systematic way about how to organize applications, and I think that bigger codebases and teams probably benefit from using static types. But god, sometimes when you open up these codebases they sometimes hardly look like JS anymore. Not to mention the tooling and build stuff, which still have a lot of maturing to do.

One could argue then that the author failed to get the point across, even if the point might have merit.

It's any author's task to make their cases in a way so that people pay attention. In this case, this maybe failed. As I mentioned in my other comment: Using terms such as "offensive" when trying to make a serious point to fact- and argument-oriented people (which one typically finds on HN) might not work very well.

It's better to be critical of the author's approach to making the case than to assume that the problem are the readers.
Regardless of what you think of people identifying as muffins(??), it's pretty unreasonable to equate such a flight of fancy with transgender people. There's a growing pile of evidence (such as the OP) that mental perception of gender is at least partly biologically based and independent of outward presentation, and twin studies suggest that whatever causes identification as transgender similarly has a biological basis (identical twins are more likely to both be transgender than fraternal twins are). So it doesn't seem like transgender people are saying "everything is made up" — they're probably accurately describing a real phenomenon.
I couldn't agree more!

Furthermore, as also pointed out by others above, all discussions about consiousness tend to conflate what appear to me to be distinct phenomenon. The first could be described as a persistence of thought or "low-level" consiousness, which is likely explained by the evolution of a working memory. The second could be described as self awareness, which is likely a small, nearly-inevitable leap from "low-level" consiousness. The third could be described as meta-consiousness, whos origin is likely explained by your social evolution hypotheses.
Of course your dogs are better but its not helping the world to advertise their security benefits.

1. The cost of Dog Food + Care makes them much more expensive than almost any security system.

2. Here in Las Vegas more than half the dogs in our shelter are Pit Bulls. Almost all were purchased by people who wanted a "security dog" more than a pet.

If the deciding factor for you to buy an animal is the security benefit, ultimately you will not be happy with that decision. And neither will the animal.
> A recession is coming soon. Prolonged low unemployment rates are a pretty reliable sign that the economy is overheating. So are pricy Forward P/E ratios. So are property bubbles.

Yet inflation is remaining surprisingly low, implying our economy isn't really overheating. At least not for most of the country.

> So are pricy Forward P/E ratios. So are property bubbles.

The upper-middle and upper classes are the only groups that invest in property and stocks at any non-negligible amount. Actually, is it possible for the upper and upper-middle class economies to overheat while the lower class continues to stagnate? Perhaps this could explain the low inflation rates while the price of capital is sky-high.

If no one benefits, then it is a complete waste. If I get paid to write code that never gets used, and it takes me a week, it's a waste of hundreds of dollars of labor. The parent thread pointed out that no disabled person would ever use the upgrade as the property was privately held by non disabled persons, so he's required to pay for no reason. That's nonsense.

Yea, cloud-only was the deal-breaker for me for Dropcam (now Nest). It just seems so silly and wasteful. You have a camera on your home LAN, uploading video out to a server somewhere, just so you can... download the video back to your home LAN for viewing??? WTF? Why can't I even have the option to operate it LAN-only? Just seems like a bizarre limitation from a product point of view. Obviously their business model depends on upwelling you cloud services.

The A11 may need to thermal throttle right after the benchmark completes (which is actually reasonable for many workloads, but games).

IIRC the previous gen A10x in the iPad Pro beat some low-end macs, and usually the next gen non-x is a bit faster than the previous gen x... so, I'd expect the A11 to be faster than some low-end macs.

Could Apple be arranging 3rd party conversions in secret? Or, could the conversion be done seamlessly, at the compiler level?

Anyway, I think ARM macs have been on the cards for a few years now... in a way, the iPad Pro can be seen as a way of experimenting with Mac-level power, as a preparatory step.

Their hesitation might partly be due to a kind of identity crisis: if we can develop iOS apps on a Mac, and that Mac is ARM, why can't we develop on an iOS device itself? But Apple doesn't want open iOS devices.

I'd be interested if you know any shortcomings of these, so far my experiences have been quite positive, though I have only been running a Hikvision and a cheap rebranded one for about a month.

Biggest catch is probably software - you basically need a Windows box or VM for one-time configuration as ActiveX or proprietary tooling is common, once that's done you're all set and don't need to touch that tooling again, just monitor your camera via the standardized ONVIF and RTSP stream.

There's potential security catch too - I managed to dump the firmware off one and crack a telnet password, but I had to manually enable telnet and so long as you do not expose it to the internet, there's not much harm there. I've read about older cameras that had hardcoded default telnet passwords with telnet on by default and unable to be turned off, fortunately I haven't seen anything that egregious yet.

Overall, the shortcomings, while present are very manageable as far as I've seen. Definitely not a perfect "out of the box" experience like a Nest device will be, but cheaper, more flexible and more interesting to me as a tinkerer.
Interesting offering. I'm wondering how people feel about the $5 minimum? At 250GB storage and 1TB traffic, plenty of people using much less than 250GB and 1TB traffic would be better served with a pay for what you use model.

Also - don't be fooled - using the CMM as a metric, the Amish are probably one of the more technologically mature societies around, since they have a clearly defined process around technology usage...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_Maturity_Model

"
There are five levels defined along the continuum of the model and, according to the SEI: "Predictability, effectiveness, and control of an organization's software processes are believed to improve as the organization moves up these five levels. While not rigorous, the empirical evidence to date supports this belief".[15]

Initial (chaotic, ad hoc, individual heroics) - the starting point for use of a new or undocumented repeat process.
Repeatable - the process is at least documented sufficiently such that repeating the same steps may be attempted.
Defined - the process is defined/confirmed as a standard business process
Capable - the process is quantitatively managed in accordance with agreed-upon metrics.
Efficient - process management includes deliberate process optimization/improvement.

Within each of these maturity levels are Key Process Areas which characterise that level, and for each such area there are five factors: goals, commitment, ability, measurement, and verification. These are not necessarily unique to CMM, representing — as they do — the stages that organizations must go through on the way to becoming mature.

The model provides a theoretical continuum along which process maturity can be developed incrementally from one level to the next. Skipping levels is not allowed/feasible.

As a user, I would prefer two options:
• an isochrone preserving relevant geometry geography and transit
• a relative time ordering like this, but with the X and Y dimensions subject to change based on my current interests.

I.e. I appreciate radius from center as a very useful representation of travel time.

But I would liberate X and Y to be things such as rating and cost (to give two likely examples).

Once you distort space so you might as well go all-in (in this view) and let it pack in two more dimensions.

The resulting clusterings would be very interesting and useful I imagine.

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but in your example:

> Sidekiq.enqueue(job.job_name, *job.job_args)

You're doing all your enqueueing in a transaction, so if any enqueue call fails (e.g. network error) you'll break the transaction, and requeue all of your jobs (even those that were successfully delivered).

Given that you're lobbing the job outside of the DB transaction boundary, why have that transaction at all? It's not clear to me why all the jobs should share the same fate.

If you want at-least once message delivery, can't you configure that in your queue? (For example, RabbitMQ supports both modes; only ACKing after the task completes, or ACKing as soon as the worker dequeues the message).

I'm not familiar with Sidekiq, so maybe that's not an option there. But in that case, it's still not clear why you'd requeue all the tasks if one of them fails to be enqueued (or the delte fails); you could just decline to delete the row for the individual job that failed.
