I would like to think that at some point we would be able to look at the thousands of such claims made over hundreds of generation and admit that "this-generation-is-doomed" is a dumb rhetoric. If end-goal is human prosperity, how does it matter if some fad is getting popular among teenagers. What we should be looking at is trends.

Are smartphones inhibiting innovation by being addictive? I don't think so.

Although, an argument to be made against them is that they can induce FOMO-related stress than it was possible before. However, it seems to be double-edged sword. Exposure to more success is a simple result of people getting more connected. The plus-side of which is the wealth of information and experiences we have access to today.
Very valid point, but I'm wondering if 'assembly' does more to the US to avoid the tariffs on the C-series; does that mean there will be less economic benefit for Quebec? For example, by assembly jobs moving to the US.

They may gain in value of their acquired shares but they may also lose in terms of wider economic output for their province.

Would not make me sad to get bought up (lol). My goal is to make money not sell certificates as a hobby. Do you have experience in this area? Care to share? I am just interested if reselling is economically viable at this time. There seems to be a glut of resellers on the Internet.

Yep. Every country with an advanced export industry has an Export-Import Bank. Small countries making capital purchases of hundreds of millions of dollars wouldn't be able to secure the financing, otherwise; at least, not at any reasonable rate. The fact that the U.S. Export-Import Bank has never had a net loss (at least, none of note AFAIK) is really all we need to know about how much of an unfair subsidy they're providing: none. IOW, they aren't guaranteeing transactions that aren't economically viable. It's just that, say, Ethiopia has zero chance of not getting gouged by major American or European banks. Among other things, big western banks don't have any appetite for dealing with the risk--currency exposure, foreign liquidation headaches. Even though ultimately they could recover their losses, it would ruin a few quarters of profits and throw their shareholders into fits.

When people argue that Boeing exports make up the bulk of the Export-Import Bank's financing, well, d'uh. For political reasons the bank likes to sell itself as supporting small business, but the fact of the matter is that the global banking industry is competitive enough to finance smaller purchases. The economic function of an Export-Import Bank is to improve the transactional efficiency at the very high-end of the market. More importantly, as an advanced economy the U.S. primarily exports advanced (i.e. extremely costly) capital goods.

Some national export-import banks are primarily in the business of funneling subsidies to domestic exporters. You can tell because they hide huge losses. But that's just not the case in the U.S., Canada, or most of Europe.

The point they're trying to make is that, unless it very specifically happens to you or happens in the really flagrant way described in the post... it probably happens but you're not aware of it.

That's the take-away from this discussion.

Watching on Twitter, the #metoo hashtag scroll by with probably 80% of the women I know and respect joining in...yeah, I know it's prevalent but it's still shocking to see, not just prevalent, but nearly ubiquitous.

Back to your parties, odds are it's happening and you're simply not aware of it.

Yes, even if you Intuit something or know it from experience, it's valuable to have thus level of certainty through a carefully conducted study. Convincing someone your intuition is true is a lot harder than pointing to the research
And even then, there's a huge difference between "frequent recreational use" (and it's not uncommon for recreational users to take 10+ pills in a night, and to use every weekend) and "theraputic use". Habitual club users do tend to get pretty fuzzy after a while but they're not using the drug in any remotely responsible way. Taking them as a reason to keep MDMA illegal is like saying that drunks exist and so doctors shouldn't be allowed to use alcohol swabs.

Predators were, themselves, victims first. Your approach is broken on the face of it. It entirely disregards one set of victims, those so damaged they spread the issue.

Prevention is the only answer that is compassionate to all the victims, including those who have gone on to become predators.

I don't need your pity. My soul is richer for having lived the life I have lived. You might try respecting my hard won wisdom instead of finding new ways to put down and dismiss someone who disagrees with your draconian approach.
For non-tech people, MongoDB often represents areas such as "big data".

It has an obvious benefit in increasing available supply. Once a driver has paid the fee they have 35% more incentive to provide service.

> Just because Uber is trying to fix something bad (surge pricing) doesn't mean their solution (this ridiculous scheme) isn't also bad.

Neither of them is actually bad.

Bad is the inability to get a ride during high demand because nobody is doing either of those things.

> The first problem is that drivers have no way to know that until they've lost money on the deal.

That only works the first time. After that the driver has their own experience to draw on.

> Since Uber controls who gets rides, they can make sure that some portion of drivers come out ahead using this scheme.

In which case only those drivers will sign up next time and the pool of drivers willing to sign up shrinks every time.

> When other drivers claim they lost money or just broke even, the "winning" drivers can chime in that the scheme worked great for them.

Nobody cares what other people say when their own personal experience says something else.

It's easy to trick anyone once, but then they won't trust you anymore. People not trusting you forevermore is an expensive price to pay for a one time payout.

Here are the highlights from the article:

The Danish education minister (Merete Riisager) is proposing allowing schools to check their students' private computers, as well as their social media activity (and other internet activity), to avoid cheating occurring during tests/exams.

The ministry also clarifies that the schools should not be allow to force access to this information, but can demand access to a student's computer as a prerequisite for their access to the test/exam.

Should a student refuse, the school should be able to confiscate their equipment for up to 24 hours or completely expelling the student from the school. (Note: The article isn't clear whether this means from just the exam or indefinitely.)

It's important to note this is still a proposal. That is, it is in the very early stages of becoming bill or even law. Right now it is in the hearing process.

The victim should not be blamed for giving 'tacit approval' for an assailant's behaviour. There is no necessary connection between a victim wishing to avoid the ordeal of a rape/assault prosecution and believing that rape/assault is 'okay'. Rape prosecutions in the US tend to be long, extremely adversarial, and unlikely to result in a conviction. Unfortunately, rape/assault are crimes that still carry bi-directional social stigma on those involved.

You are right. If you don't follow most of those rules, you are not doing pure FP. My interest on them was because I was writing production code that felt procedural. The rules are there so you can practice with purpose. Once you go into production code, you can discard them, but with knowledge that it will not be because your OOP skills take over, but conscious decisions.

Well I’d argue that the purpose of capital is to produce more of itself, not to develop superior products/services.

I’m not giving you pity. I only offer sympathy. I am not dismissing your wisdom, but I don’t believe every sexual predator was once a victim either.

> To use the parent comment's example: almost everyone will be more willing to dance or sing really badly, or maybe kiss the wrong guy. Only a tiny fraction of people commit crimes under the influence.[0]

I'm not sure I agree that 'the influence' does not correlate with criminal behavior, but perhaps you're right.

But even if you're right, I'm convinced that inebriation does correlate strongly with crossing lines. And it's still the case that in many cultures and environments, a lot of sexual misconduct is not considered a crime, but merely 'blurred lines'.

I hope that changing this 'culture' will go a long way towards curbing even the very drunk from some of this (apparently) systemic kind of misconduct.

I believe that this is great for children in order to become techies. At my high school, I learned a lot by having to configure a SSH server at port 80, in order to avoid port and site blocking. Luckily, they never blocked the link to putty.
The irony of the situation is that MongoDB is now pretty good at horizontal scalability, probably because of all the big companies that were fooled into using it, which then had to fix it :-)

Seeing the comments in this thread, it's interesting how it gets compared with PostgreSQL. People are missing the point — NoSQL only happened because of horizontal scalability requirements, being the number one reason for why people want NoSQL.

Just because PostgreSQL can now store and interrogate JSON, that doesn't mean that PostgreSQL can scale horizontally. In fact PostgreSQL sucks at horizontal scaling, historically its replication story has been worse than MySQL actually.

And might not have big data, but you might want redundancy and scenarios with pretty tight SLAs are not uncommon at all.

"...and helping students deal with abusive advisers."

This is one thing I hope the unionization movement will genuinely change. There's not much room to move the needle on pay, but having students have a means of addressing abuse besides "Throw myself on the mercy of the department and hope they don't shred my career" would be a huge step.

Interestingly, one of the grad student union's arguments in a place I was at was, essentially, "You're flooding the university with cheap adjuncts, and it's devaluing our career path", which I thought was, at the very least, an interesting take.
