Mathew 7:5 alludes to the power of relationship as a mirror / path. I'd love if more people practiced this on a deep level.

The somatic approach is an excellent addition to this work, if you have a chance to try it out, you won't be disappointed.
This explanation makes no sense, what you are describing is MORE money entering the system.
Discussion is one thing, but I think the real test is cohabitation. There are lots of things you think you can deal with in theory, but when faced with it every day, you are forced to either 1) come to a compromise, 2) let it go, or 3) quietly seethe about it for the rest of your life.

China just wants peace in the area. It's not at all in their interest to see a conflict right next door to them.

At the same time, I think it's not far-fetched that China would flex its muscle against the US if we escalate this conflict.
CppCon 2017: Titus Winters “C++ as a ”Live at Head“ Language”
The Vidularity Is Nigh Upon Us
The enforcement of regulations in China is frighteningly efficient and effective, while the issue at hand is foremost in the minds of leaders. The government insists on retaining personal control over the country, and weakens the country's autonomous systems, which means it must spend some of a limited amount of attention to address any given issue. The moment the Eye of Sauron turns to look at a particular problem, everything immediately falls into order. The moment it turns away to something else, everyone gets up to their old shenanigans. It's the trade-off of retaining personal control.

In this case, these NK firms will certainly be a topic of focus, and likely remain so for quite a while.

My dad went to a public university in the 80s for about $2k/yr back when only 20-25% had a degree. It was an incredible value back then. Now over 33% [1] have a college degree, it costs way too much, you get less and we have amazing content on the web, most of which is free.

I agree with you with one exception: when a youtube video is preceded by an advertisement. Youtube videos load very quickly, but I have had to give up watching some videos because the 30-second advertisement gets stuck in loading mode. I assume this is because there is a contractual obligation to show the ad at a minimum resolution, while the video itself can be delivered at a low quality and improve depending on the connection.
Airing her grievances online is immature and isn't going to help their situation, there's a good chance her husband is going to get more defensive about it.

That tactical mistake notwithstanding, she's on the whole quite correct though.

She says:

> When my husband brushes out tangles before bedtime, he needs his efforts noticed and congratulated

That's such a common attitude. He needs to just do the damn work already without being such a baby about it.

Her complaint is that he needs to "see" work. Don't leave the gift wrap out in the middle of the room, but put it back. Hear a squeaky door hinge, just fix it. That kind of thing. The fact that he doesn't, and the fact that he needs to be told time and again, can of course be a source of stress. If he doesn't recognize that truly, then he's being obtuse. Most likely though, it all happens more in a grey zone. Not that he doesn't realize leaving the gift wrap out is an inconvenience, but that he doesn't care enough to put it back. Not necessarily because of malice, but this soup of lazyness, unattentiveness, and perhaps, every once in a while, a smidgen of malice, you know, that little urge to needle other people sometime, especially nagging ones.

It really isn't much about failure of communication. From the article, they talked about it plenty. It's in a national publication now. He knows she wants him to be proactive, instead of wait-and-see. It's about a mismatch between habits and expectations. There are many ways this can resolve. Either she learns to live with it. Or he changes. Either of those could both be happy solutions to their issue, with both parties finding contentment. But his half-assed approach of 'well, just ask me, I'm happy to do it", and then gloat or moan about it afterwards, is obviously not doing it.

Tuition/stipend for grad students and equipment most definitely has overhead, at least from my experience in the UC system.
"Every distributed solution is doomed to eventually reproduce Erlang, badly."
It's silly to say that something is "biological determinism" just because it points out differences between men and women. Almost all traits have a strong overlap between men and women, including mental/personality traits, but occupational choice tends to be driven by extremes at a personal level. In general, men and women are about equally good at math, but at the far right end of the bell curve, men outnumber women significantly. Steven Pinker cites in "Human Nature" that at 6'0, men outnumber women almost 2000 to 1. Height is one of the more substantial examples of sexual dimorphism, but study after study has found sexual dimorphism in mental traits as well. This doesn't mean people should be judged based on their group's characteristics (which would be biological determinism) but that group differences can be quite severe at the extremes.

It's worth pointing out that men also tend to outnumber women significantly at the far left end of most bell curves. Data appears to show that for many traits, men have higher variability of traits, possibly caused by the differing sexual selection strategies of men and women. (There is much more diversity among mitochondrial DNA than Y-chromosomal DNA, which is just one piece of evidence among many that a smaller number of males produce a disproportionate amount of the offspring.)

In any war he’d be destroyed.

NK has to balance on the knife edge between being threatening enough to get concessions but not so much other countries give up and ignore them (or level them).

KJU doesn’t seem to know how to walk that line, and didn’t have enough time to learn it from his father.

I’d say ‘we’re getting close to the end’ but no one who has ever made that prediction has been right. It’s too unique (especially with Trump now) to be able to get a good guess.
You are entitled to go on Github, contribute to an open source project widely in use, and start gaining experience for free. Nobody is going to say "oh this guy doesn't have a degree so we won't accept their contribution," although if it sucks you might get some good critique, and can add to the resume that way without a degree and looks impressive to prospective employers.
Craft beer is tasty, many people love it and regularly buy it to consume it; not to store it in the cellar with the hope that one bottle will cost $50000 in 3 years. That's real business that has real profits.
>pay extra to not look poor.

Tragically, it looks as though actually the majority of household expenditure in the USA is to not look poor. Well, if not, we certainly don't know what it is for: it isn't making us any happier.

Status, not wealth, is linked to happiness.

Better put: "Spending money you don't have for things you don't need to impress people you don't like."

In theory, the governments may try to kill it once it reaches too far (to the point of being considered fiat money). However, the said government will also invite lots of backlash from the people and technically, no single government can stop the blockchain network completely.
> At the same time, I think it's not far-fetched that China would flex its muscle against the US if we escalate this conflict.

I don't think so. I think they would actually just let NK be nuked and maybe try to capture it afterwards.
A cynic might think failure is success for them.
UC averages are also skewed by doctors at places like UCSF.
> But IMO this tracks back to the MPA vs. SPA problem.

It doesn't. You can have refresh buttons in SPAs that refresh correctly parts of their stores. You can have MPAs that incorrectly (or don't even try) invalidate local storage cache. You can have backends with bad cache invalidation. You can have SPAs that are also MPAs (nextjs+react, nuxtjs+vuejs, univeral angular, etc..).

Fact of life is, once your "page" needs more than a non-trivial amount of "GUI", solutions like react are far more maintainable, easier to develop, more portable, faster, and most importantly, build better user interfaces.

No need to blame SPAs using the 2012 concept of SPAs when the cause is clearly a rookie coder or a bad UX decision from upper management.

In particular:

"SUMMERS: Not enough people are innovating enough in higher education. The place to start is, General Electric looks nothing like it looked in 1975. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or Stanford look a lot like they looked in 1975. They’re about the same size to within a factor of two, they’re about the same number of buildings, they operate on about the same calendar, they have many of the same people or some number of the same people in significant positions.
The main thing to say is that, for something that’s all about ideas and for something that’s all about young people, the pace of innovation in higher education is stunningly slow. We’re still on a system where the break is in the summer. The reason we’re on that system is that when everybody went to pick the plants, that was the natural way to organize school, and it’s still going that way.
The potential action in higher education is probably heavily through distance learning and artificial intelligence in learning technologies of various kinds because, if you think about it, the unique capacity that online education has is that, on the one hand, they’re huge economies of scale. Once the lecture’s filmed, 100,000 people can watch it at the same cost as 100 people watching it."

I was replying to a post roughly answering "what's in it for me" by "what's in it for your children". All wanted to show that the 3 main reasons for going vegan/plant-based all have a strong "for the children" side to them.

There's a huge influx of people in the vegan/plant-based communities from very health conscious people. Many of them believe that science is showing that it allows them to live healthier/happier/longer/stronger.

Is that not a good answer to "What's in it for me?" :)
We stopped using tape just because datasets are too large. Fulls and differentials are not feasible at petascale. With LTO7 - a petabyte takes over a month to backup with a single drive. You need 50 or so to pull it in a day, assuming your storage can do 15GB/sec sustained.
I'm not sure I believe about typewriters. It doesn't really make sense to me as the characters are still adjacent to the quotes. So I wouldn't think shifting them would help with jamming the keys.

Yeah ANTLR is used widely in the Java ecosystem, but I guess I am biased toward full programming languages rather than DSLs, which are usually written in C or C++.

ANTLR can technically generate C or C++ code, but IME it's very bad, and I've never seen anybody use it "for real".

Although JVM languages like Jython and JRuby don't use ANTLR; they use the same techniques as the C implementation of the language (the custom pgen language, and yacc, respectively)

Right. I have enough self-awareness that I don't bother asking for specific gifts. It all adds up to compromise, knowing your quirks and limitations and not trying too hard to make reality conform to your quirks.

However, I think it is not fair to criticize the author for trying to do the right thing. She was wrong at the time to expect her husband to understand without communicating, but then she had a serious talk with him, and now she literally wrote an essay explaining her thoughts.

It's like when a boy cleans his room, praising him is the right thing to do, even if you feel a little sexist doing it (because you did not praise his sister for the same thing). You have to tailor the praise and criticism to the individual. Don't be harsh at the kid for not cleaning as well and as often as his sister, and don't be harsh at the author for not communicating early enough.
I was a homemaker for a couple of decades. So, I spent a great deal more time physically at home than my husband and the house was where most of my work occurred. When my husband left his dirty clothes on the floor, I could either live with the clutter and step over it or pick up after him. Either choice was still an imposition on me that lowered my quality of life.

Furthermore, since doing laundry was one of my responsibilities, him not putting his clothes in the hamper just made my job harder. And, no, it wasn't really acceptable to just not wash his clothes because they weren't in the hamper. We were financially dependent on his job. He had to be presentable. Plus, leaving dirty clothes laying around is a hygiene issue and I have health problems.

It would be a little bit like if I went to his office and dumped my laundry on his desk and he would either have to deal with that or work around it -- all day, every single day. We were married about 16 years before he grasped that and stopped leaving his dirty clothes on the floor.

When you are in a partnership, the actions of your partner are going to impact you. If they aren't considerate, they will impact you negatively. That is simply reality. Acting like it is not is crazy talk.
Nonsense. Associating behaviour with sex, is sexism, pure and simple.

The fact that he is a man has nothing to do with the fact that he doesn't have the same agency - nor the 'right' to complain about it - as his wife does. Making that association a part of the discussion is sexism.

It's fitting that the lengthiest non-anonymous example is the English teacher at San Jose state. Her salary might seem normal in other parts of the country, but it's very skimpy in San Jose/Silicon Valley/Peninsula

Here's San Jose Unified teachers (they don't seem to have P.E. in the job titles):

http://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/search/?a=school-d...

Not singling out P.E. teachers or K-12 in general -- look up any Palo Alto area job type (police, technicians, etc), and they're all in the same range. And living in this area myself, I completely believe that scale of salary and benefits is needed if you want employees who can live within 50 miles of Palo Alto.
This particular author’s arguments are irritating, self-centered, and over-generalized, so I’m not really defending the piece.

But the author is quite explicit that her husband does any task asked; what she’s asking for is that he take more initiative and not require praise when he does so.

I agree with many other commenters that coming to consensus on “everyone in the family is expected to spend 2 minutes every evening putting away things they’ve taken out without requiring nagging or praise” is a very low bar and should not be a hard communication problem to solve in a healthy relationship.
Perhaps we misunderstand each other. The vast majority of people who take out federal financial aid, also take out private loans, because it is very difficult (if even possible anymore) to cover tuition costs with federal loans.

If private loan repayment rates were capped, then private institutions would have a very, very strong incentive not to loan student loan rates larger than a certain amount to students, depending on the major and university. Quite frankly, a student asking for 200k for an english degree at Drexel would be denied. Why? Because Drexel isn't known for its english program. Average salary of a Drexel graduating English major is, let's guestimate, 50k a year for the majority of their lifetime. At 50k a year, at a 10% rate, the bank isn't going to get its funds back for 40 years, before interest. If the average age of death/retirement in this country is in the early 70s, the student will literally die of old age or retire before finishing repaying the loan.

Now students will be unable to attend financial unviable options. The university will understand that if it raises its tuition beyond a certain level, it will be unable to support its english department, because no sane bank would back the loans required to graduate.

Again, the above is a very contrived example with BS numbers. And I'm not suggesting that the above is the way we would want to fix the issue. But it could work, and it certainly puts pressure on the universities.
High school drop out here, I'm in a management/special projects position at a software company. My ability to self educate allows them to use any language, tool or framework relatively quickly without swapping out staff that have been approved for that purpose by academia. Given my short tenure in the development market in comparison to the price I command at least in my case not having formal education is actually more valuable than having one.
> Pair this with the last administration taking steps to limit student loan repayment responsibilities

Are you referring to the efforts to correct down on Navient actively and often deceptively steering people into higher-cost paths when better existing legal options were availablel, or it's crackdown on predatory loans by fraudulent institutions? Or something else?
I think "Don't go to college" is the best advice today.

That only works in industries like software etc. If one wants to be a lawyer, doctor etc they have no choice but to go to college, right? Some American students are going abroad (Germany etc), that could be a short term option.

Not just a war, a massive humanitarian crisis. If the NK government were to disappear how many needy people would flood over their border and cause massive resource issues?

It’s a weird situation where basically everyone hates NK (I imagine China would be more happy if that was just more of their normal territory) but everyone is terrified of what happens when the NK State dissolves.

SK wants to reunite but that would have to be done slowly to avoid the same issues China is afraid of (ignoring any ‘diehards’ causing terrorism or just unrest).
