The specific colors are irrelevant. They are an accident of history.

What I'm saying is that the assumption that gendered color preferences are pushed on children is, IMO, faulty. Most parents I've talked to have the same experience as me: their children identified their own gender, figured out what people of that gender do by looking around at the world, then started imitating that.

You're assuming that gender roles are pushed onto children. My experience (and the experience of most parents I know) is that parents are too busy to really care about trying to indoctrinate their children into the proper gender role.

The kids indoctrinate themselves.

Exactly the same with me, I regret only getting the 256GB internal drive with my Thinkpad but I wanted the 2560x1440 so I had to trade something off (since it's a personal machine not a work machine), I suspect I'll be upgrading it before long.
Professors do need to permute the tests so that people won't just look up last year's final. But permuting them once a year is a very different proposition than permuting them an endless number of times as students demand to retake the test.

There will always be cheaters. That's why companies, as part of the interview process, ask basic knowledge questions. It weeds out a lot of the cheaters and frauds. I hear people all the time desperately try to justify cheating. I don't care if people cheat, but I wouldn't hire any of them, and I doubt many employers would.

Sure, there'll always be bad tests and bad teachers. If one could be "taught to the test" then it's a bad test. It can certainly be true that one could pass the test and yet fail to understand the material, but I'm not convinced that people can master the material yet flunk the test.

But testing, in general, works. For me, I know that the pressure of final exams would motivate me to learn the material. No pressure, no learning.

40 years after I graduated, I'd surely flunk every final if I retook them cold today. I just finished taking the MIT 18.01 calculus class online. I was surprised at how easily the stuff came flooding back into my head. It's still there, I just had to chip the rust off :-)

i find it amazing that in 2017, a time when the internet has been fully realized and adopted by millions of people, there is no open source, universal textbook hosted anywhere. most people say that there is, and that its called wikipedia, but i dont think so. wikipedia is good for reference. its also good for learning if you are very intelligent and motivated. but for people who are not super intelligent or who have not learned to learn yet, there isnt really a single, centralized, high quality solution for learning things.

in my opinion, it would be very good for there to be a universal textbook that would not only contain all of mans information, but accompany that information with friendly and thorough explanations and guidance. it would foster understanding by being concise and structuring all its information is the simplest and most straightforward way possible. that is to say, it would be user-friendly. it might also include training programs designed to make anyone a good programmer, musician, physicist, etc. this would be a gigantic undertaking but wikipedia has done something similar so i think its possible.

Imo when it comes to that there is a huge difference between men and women, or perhaps more accurately people who are highly skilled in map-reading vs people who aren't.

In general men prefer to navigate using a map, cardinal directions and can adapt their routefinding on the fly (the actual geography); women prefer to navigate using turn-by-turn directions and fixed landmarks ("five minutes that way," "make the second right," etc)

I've noticed this a lot, for example when traveling in a third-world country where education is not widespread I know many people outside of cab drivers can't actually read maps. It's something we take for granted in the US. So when my friend was trying to give a local directions to a certain place by pointing to different places on a map, the local wasn't understanding. When I stepped in and provided turn by turn directions pointing on the actual street, away from the map, she understood.

It's more like the rules exclude honest poor people from investing. I have several acquaintances of modest means who invested in privately traded stocks through the simple expedient of lying about their income and assets. To be clear, I'm not claiming that this is smart or ethical but it happens all the time. People can write down any numbers they want on the accredited investor forms and usually no one checks.

We should of course be sceptical, but at the same time it seems that Spain is active so heavy handed in this and related matters that they are almost trying to make this go violent.
Google (and Amazon AFAIK) do give people resources to study with before an interview. Facebook sent me an electronic copy of CLRS beforehand.

I think the real question is: would making the interview process more accessible through offering courses increase the average quality of hires? Or allow more hires of the same quality? That's not clear. The actual white-boarding is pretty far divorced from day to day work, even at BigTechCo. An argument could be made that self-driven prepping for an arbitrary filter is the actual thing being tested, since it correlates more with success. Courses, although reducing the noise that comes from differing levels of prior exposure to those types of questions, would simultaneously decrease the self-motivation signal.

> Spain has a constitution that was signed by Catalonian reps in the 70s

Totally agree. Yet, the 70s were different times. Getting out of a dictatorship and moving into a democratic state takes a lot of compromises on all sides. Back then, there was the sense of urgency to agree on common terms, for the time being, to allow the country and the people to transition into a modern democracy.

It's been 40 years now. Times change, the world changes, people change. A constitution is a very important document for a country, yet it should not be used as a license to oppress people.

Many Catalonians requested to change some parts of the constitution to better represent Catalonia's cultural and political differences, as compared to Spain. Yet Spain would not even consider talking about anything that challenges the status quo.

We will see where this is heading.

I'm not saying it would trigger it, just that it is a symptom of a system thats gone way out of bounds. I don't even think it will be a mortgage default crisis per say (though when the values go down everyone who's currently stretched to get into their place will be screwed for a while). People parking their money on real estate could all try to get out of a given market at once, making a run on housing values. Strange thing is, thats the only case in which I am personally able to buy a house, so there's a large part of me that wishes it would happen so there would be more units on the market and affordability.

> Doesn't this just mean bunch of lost jobs when redis fails.

You need to be a little careful about configuration, but believe it or not, as long as Redis is configured with an append only file [1] it will provide you with a durability guarantee just like Postgres would. If it crashes, any jobs that were in there are recovered the next time it starts up.

From the docs:

> From now on, every time Redis receives a command that changes the dataset (e.g. SET) it will append it to the AOF. When you restart Redis it will re-play the AOF to rebuild the state.

I'm down with the whole "lets be optimistic and say humans are good" mindset, and of course MOST people are not interested in causing serious harm to there peers. But the mere fact that someone hasn't put themselves at extreme risk to kill you isn't very convincing in the face of societies large scale corruption.

If the law goes against one of the principles of democracy, the issue is with the law. What would your opinion be on a constitution that allows slavery? Because that was the case with a lot of constitutions in the past, and I think we would all agree that from a human right's point of view it was wrong. What's going on in Catalonia is illegal, but it's the democratically correct choice, and given what the Spanish government says ("we will only talk as long as it's within the legality"), it's the only thing you can do.

For those HN readers that might not know, a decade ago Catalonia tried to pass something known as the Estatut, which would give us more rights and more power (similar to what the Basque country has had for a long time). Needless to say, it didn't pass because the big parties opposed to it. One of the two important political parties in Spain (the Popular party) went as far as going around Spain collecting signatures (four million) to get rid of the Estatut. And that's part of the story of how the pro-independence movement gained as much traction as it has right now.

Thank you for engaging me in good faith. A meaty debate or discussion with someone who is not being an asshole about it is always a good thing and, sadly, not very common.
hmm, the triangle inequality becomes always satisfied with equality.
> What power? Who decides what constitutes fair governance?

This is a democracy. You and I do.

The only question therefore, is if you support policies that I support. If you do not, then we do not work together and instead we work against each other in the system that has been created.

Just as "Black Power" advocates get a say, you and I get a say in the governance system of this country. As do "White Supremacists". But MY ideal is a system where no race is superior to any other race.

That's really all I'm trying to convince you of, that working on the ideal of equality for all is worth fighting for.

> It's an issue which affects the racial demographics of the United States, which over the past 50 years have been changing dramatically.

I can tell you aren't an idiot either. But come on, I know what you're going for.

> This discussion has been racial since the comment I initially replied to which suggested Donald Trump has a "solid pulse on scared white men".

Well congrats then, you've been played and trolled. Some would call this effect "getting triggered".

And you've continued to keep it racial instead of diverting it to more important, universal issues. For example, when I discuss the wall its typically about immigration policy, the needs of the labor force, and projections of the number of jobs we need.

"Racial Demographics" is very, very, very low on the list of shit I care about. I don't see why anyone should give an F about a 45% White population vs a 55% white population. But maybe you can explain to me why this is an important issue for you?

Or is that REALLY what you want to be talking about?

-----------------------

Look, I understand the cause of propagating a US Culture where people speak English. I'm actually more conservative on this issue than most people are.

For example: there are plenty of examples of non-English speaking people getting in trouble in the local Bay in my State. Locals have issues communicating with them that a storm is coming in, and next thing we know, a few non-English speakers are lost in the stormy waters.

So I do have a belief that standardizing on English speaking in this country would be beneficial, especially in local / rural areas where its impossible to find a translator. There are truly cultural issues at hand to talk about that can benefit society as a whole.

---------------

Now that I've given you an example of my perspective, I expect you to be able to "sell" this "protecting racial demographics" thing to me. What the hell are you talking about?
.. Looks like I need to chime in again.

You both have incredibly biased, prejudiced and ignorant views regarding the US and Europe. Please stop.

I went to Montessori schools from preschool to 2nd grade. I has a really positive experience since I was able to pick and choose what interests to explore without a whole lot of structure. I loved it and switching to a public school in 3rd grade was an interesting change of pace.

This is the thing: the referendum is ilegal according to constitution (agreed on by Catalans in the 70s).

We can debate if it should or should not be ilegal, but it’s a different thing.

These actions are taken to avoid violating the constitutional order, not the vote directly. If the constitution is being infringed, you can’t make exceptions.

While I think the management in charge of the stadium sidewalks failing to cut the curbs goes beyond negligence, My thought process for much of the article was "why didn't the husband just roll her over the curb".

That is because I was envisioning a standard wheelchair with large wheels designed to be propelled by the user as well as a helper. YouTube is full of wheelchair curb hopping (and more) instructional videos. I had visions of picking my ~100LB wife up over a big stair/whatever.

Anyway, I'm going to basically agree with you, and say that it appears that motorized wheelchair manufactures are partially to blame here. That wheelchair is more like a motorized bed than what I would consider a wheelchair.

So whats the excuse (regulation cant be all of it)? Particularly now that battery technology has gotten to the point where the battery packs to move a person around for 10-15 minutes (see electric scooters) are just a few lbs, and materials technology allow us to build mechanically stable structures which are also super lightweight. Without going into questionable tech, i'm sure I could build a large wheel segway style device with a low center of gravity seat that could just drive over most curbs. Probably could even do it for less than $30k... We wouldn't even be talking about cracked/broken sidewalks at that point. In fact, I was having a similar conversation with a friend the other day about certain SF style devices probably being in reach for locomotion today.
Way to shoot my pun out of the sky. My only defense here is to go with the hard definition of a salad being a mixture of vegetables. Which means spinach-only would not constitute a salad.

As others have noted, there are already extant examples of US companies turning in such people who attempt to sell them obviously stolen info.

There are some interesting jurisdictional issues here regarding outright legality of such info and if there is a duty to act by a US corporate officer who is offered such info that is known or suspected to be stolen. If the info theft takes place in the US then all sorts of laws apply (as, for example, Uber is likely to experience in the near future) but if the theft took place outside the US I wonder if the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act makes such a purchase illegal and failure to report a potential crime? I think the Economic Espionage Act only covers theft that goes from US to some other country, but I am curious if the FCPA covers things coming in the opposite direction?
