I don’t agree. TBH I haven’t read the whole article, but as a parent raising two kids with this approach, The trick is to explain. It’s not rules as in « it’s forbidden to do this or that » but rather to explain why you don’t do that.

You don’t behave well because you must, you behave well because it’s the kindest way to do.

As stated, children are not stupid, and if you treat them as person and not as inferior human, a lot of good things can come out of this :-)
new_mac=$(openssl rand -hex 4 | sed 's/\(..\)/\1:/g; s/:$//; s/./0/2'; s/^/02:/)

is better. by using the 02: prefix for locally administered macs you avoid clashes with certain cards.

I can attest to the fact that LA rents have gone insane in the last maybe 5 years. A run-down 1 bedroom apartment in a working-class neighborhood of LA (Palms) without central air and no dishwasher will rent for $1700/month at the minimum. I'm currently apartment hunting in LA and it's brutal.
Being loud on playground is officially ok.
There are many. Online games have very long lifetimes.

Think of League of Legends, Team Fortress 2, EVE online, World of Warcraft. There are hundreds more smaller games.
That's quite clearly not what the author is suggesting.
As an American, I incur the below costs:

* $18,000/year 401k contribution (similar to pension, but I take on the market risk)

* $5,500/year IRA contribution (similar to pension, but I take on the market risk)

* $200,000 total in tuition per child at my alma mater.

* Health insurance costs. This can easily be $12,000/year or more for a family.

None of these are included in the tax amounts that we pay.

This is also not considering that German cities are much cheaper than equivalently walkable American cities.
To me, Julia feels clunky as all hell. The other thing is that Julia doesn't help for deep learning, where something like 99.99% of the computation time is actually CUDA kernels.

I don't know; I actually really like the optional typing of Julia in theory, I don't know why I find the language so unpleasant.
You don't need obedience and rules to have good behaviour.

The difference is the framing, not the outcome. The author is saying you shouldn't just say "Don't shout in the cinema." and expect them not to do it because you told them. You should say "Shouting in the cinema will ruin the film for other people." and expect them not to do it because they understand they are impacting others.

I see the kind of parenting being described all the time - the "because I said so" parent. I get that sometimes kids are unreasonable and won't take a reasoned argument, but many parents never try or give up forever, and that means the child isn't learning or understanding why they are doing or not doing things, just (at best) forming a habit that may or may not persist when the parent isn't there.

My parents taught me by explaining - treating me like a person with little experience, not an animal to be trained.

The point is, rules shouldn't be needed - they should be logical conclusions from the things you are teaching them. Yes, sometimes you have to step in (because they misunderstood something, or messed up the logic), but that's the exception, not the rule, and it's fixed by teaching, not demanding obedience. The parenting style that expects children never to question their parents is just astounding to me, how are they meant to learn?
It's weird the things that people do when discovering personal computing. No sense in transcoding one's DVDs (and even buying more machines to do it faster?!) when they can be torrented quicker and with higher quality even! But we've all got to start somewhere, I suppose.

The simple approach is to make a list of your physical media collection, stow it away for backup purposes, and download the collection over time. Then eventually you can even move towards torrenting the rest of your media and drop that netflix subscription that's supporting the destruction of net neutrality!
You can get around LA without a car. My mom did it a few years back, and I've done it as a visitor/tourist more times than I can count. I know other people in LA who also manage.

Is it hard? Yes. Is car-free the minority? Yes. But saying the infrastructure requires a car is wrong when there's a fair number of people who make it work. LA can build developments that don't need auto infrastructure, and the more they build, the easier being car free will be.

This is the technique I've adopted.

Interestingly when I was first introduced to scrum years ago, this is how my team was taught to estimate stories. Find similar stories (or, if you're just getting started, requests of comparable scope) you worked on in the past and use those as a reference.

What happened instead: team quickly ended up equating story points to some unit of time (e.g. 1 pt = 1 day to complete). Then, for a new story, play planning poker where each developer makes estimates based on rose-tinted projections of how long they imagined it would take them to finish the job if they were working on it alone without major distractions or unanticipated complications. After everyone reveals their estimate, argue pointlessly with each other for a random amount of time. Then, once the scrum master has caught up on all the latest notifications on his or her phone, either cave to the opinion of the most belligerent member of the team or average the results.

After we got burned a few times, we added a "shit happens" cushion while still following the same basic procedure. I'd be surprised if that team didn't continue to use the same protocol to this day while gradually ballooning their cushion to the point their estimates coincided with the "double the number, shift to the next time unit" rule.

Daniel Kahneman provides a good lesson on the difference between these kind of expert-driven (for various definitions of the word "expert") estimates and the sort of historical data-based approach you suggest in Thinking Fast and Slow.

It's excerpted here:

Right? What are the people in this thread doing that they're worried someone would take the time to employ theoretical, if not entirely hypothetical, recovery methods against a zeroed disk?
You're asking the very same questions that troubled me. If people belonging to a certain group are not doing well,why do you take a group based approach instead of asking why individual applicants and employees are not doing well?

I get why you are trying to find cause to explain your correlation and I understand adjusting whatever barrier tests and controls there are that are found to be unfair or discriminatory. What I am saying is,adjust the tests for everyone,not for specific groups. At the end of the day,whether I get the job or school acceptance or get rejected,I want my test to be the same as everyone else.

Jim crow era voting tax is a good example,the test was unfair and discriminatory in nature so they got rid of the test(tax). Imagine if instead they made it so that black people were exempt but everyone else had to pay the tax. That is what I am against. An unfair test should be removed because it is unfair. It should not be augmented so that the intended victims of the unfair test are exempt from the test or get special considerations.

If a job requirement test can unfairly be abused to discriminate against a candidate,then get rid of the requirement. Good example - "Must be an excellent oral and written communicator" - this is too vague and too subjective. How about laying out the specific communication requirements of the task and testing all candidates based on their use of slang words,verbage,vocabullary,etc.. ?
The only correct answer for a programming estimate is, "No one knows".

Seriously, tomorrow morning I'm going to be in a long planning meeting where I'm going to be asked for time estimates. And this time i'm going to refuse to give any.

I've spent a fair bit of time preparing my boss, my bosses boss, and people on my team for this moment, by explaining good Agile development doesn't use time estimates. I'm going to insist that I and my fellow developers will point problems using planning poker, but the points won't correspond to any fixed time amounts.
Could you be more specific, what areas of mathematics are you most familiar with and what have you done so far ?

Here is my suggestion. I might be wrong, but you might have 0 skills actually solving mathematical problems. Most of the math you see in Knuth (and CLRS) is Analysis, and it is not just simple Analysis: Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, Special Functions, Discreet Calculus, Variational Analysis, Combinatorial Analysis, Asymptotic Analysis. So it is not surprising that you are struggling.
I believe AMO is not doing manual reviews for WebExtensions in general, now that they're sandboxed. Maybe there are targeted manual reviews, I don't know.
This ^^^^. I have lived in San Francisco for 25 years now. While I could reduce my cost of living dramatically by moving, I have spent my entire post-college life here. Nearly all of my friends and professional network are here, so I have approximately zero interest in moving, even if it would be cheaper, it would not be worth it.
What is the core argument you're making here? I mean sure, I too can argue any point by making up examples about abstract projects A and B, but I'm not seeing what fundamental dynamic you're trying to illustrate here.
You got many rational reasons for starting learning Python with Python 2:

- It is easier syntax and string-handling for beginners. Else, look for someone who started learning Python with Python 3 and ask them about their experience. You probably won't find many here.

- There are more resources online for learning Python 2. Many MOOCs happily teach Python 2.

- ~5% of very popular libraries are not ported yet. Many unpopular libraries will never see a port. Some use this as an argument for switching to Python 3, but that is like being blind and being told to be happy that the number of inaccessible websites went from 10% to 5%, telling you there is no reason to look at those inaccessible websites.

- Many companies still use Python 2.

- Many distributions come with Python 2 installed.

- Switching from Python 2 to Python 3 is but a minor annoyance, mostly in paying the print-tax. Switching from Python 3-exclusive code to Python 2 is downright hell.

The reasons not to learn Python 2 and start with Python 3 are:

- Python 2 is deemed legacy and will see no security patches after 2020.

- Python 2/3 is painful for some developers and maintainers. They'll cloud this is in a "move Python forward" that is reminiscent of the "move the web forward"-movement (by deliberately breaking designs for older browsers, or forcing the user to download a font to make their layout work properly).

- Python 3 proponents don't care about you learning a new language, they care about adding 1 to the dwindling adoption count of Python 3. They see Python 2 as competition, a ghost from the past. Here the reasons they give you have nothing to do with you wanting the easiest path to mastering Python. These are either political or selfish reasons.

You'll be in the minority on HN if you go Python 2. But realize that HN's stance on Python is not a beginners stance. They use features of the language that you won't use for another 2 years. They have very strong opinions on 2 vs. 3, alternating between calling it a completely different language, and the same (but improved) language, whenever it suits their argument.

Pick wisely.

We had a few sets of these in my high school in the late 90s. English instructors would hand them out for essay writing, and you could plug them into the PS/2 or ADB ports on the full size computers in the lab to dump your early drafts into a full-time featured word processor for markup and formatting. Probably cut down on the number of computers they needed per student as most didn't yet know how to touch-type yet. Anyone who had fine motor function difficulties was given one for daily writing tasks as well.
Drug distributor is probably the easiest space for Amazon to get into, but it's not where the cost savings opportunities lie. Margin isn't very high in that space.

In order for anti trust flag to be raised through vertical integration like this, the combined entity would need to start buying up other entities in the vertical chain.

I'm actually interested in how this plays out.
I wonder if this will lead to restrictions on the use of copay coupons [1]. Insurers hate them since they break my incentive to use cheaper drugs from their formulary, but pharmacies don't care (and probably are better off for me using them.)

Since I mostly hate my insurer and want to help them towards bankruptcy by extracting as much coverage from my fixed premium as possible, I have no objection to using these coupons if they'd help me and I felt like an expensive drug choice was better for me, though it's not come up for almost any drug I've needed.

Though I do need new epi-pens; maybe I should look for one while I still can!

That's a good question for them to ask, usually you'll go for a lower rate. If possible, try to get them to make an offer, or try to dodge the question (gracefully, do not attempt if not skilled at that).

Another thing that sometimes works is giving a really high number, but then offering a "deal".

YMMV.
Sabbaticals should be more condoned in the workforce. I suspect we may see less turnover in many areas of software engineering if this was an option after say a 3 or 4 year tenure at some company.
I think there is demand. That's the niche that SROs used to fill in the Bay Area. Now a lot of people who would've been in units priced around $500 are living in their cars or in the street. The wait for affordable housing is long, and most landlords refuse to rent out to Section 8 tenants. That's why housing around this price point is needed by many.

Yes,people do discriminate. The system,tests and controls are what need adjustment - and this adjustment should be across the board,so that individuals face the same tests and controls.a As opposed to adjustments that affect only the intended victim.
Ahh yes. As an expat living in France it came as a shock to me that I had to pay tax on rent. "but doesn't the owner pay that?", I asked my spouse.

Would still rather pay higher French taxes, where you know the money is going to social service, even if they are bit too generous, rather than the US rate where you pay slightly less but all services are barely functional.
My experience is that by 13 years old a person has enough cognitive ability to understand and negotiate any rule. They lack the experience to negotiate every rule, but any individual thing they pick, from sex to drugs to skipping school, can be understood deep enough for them to set their own terms safely if they aren't happy with the default.
>I started a business, which failed, and got some perspective on how hard small business in the US can be, and how unsupportive this country is in certain ways. Taxes and health care are a nightmare when you're bootstrapping a small business. And I have literally nothing to complain about, I was so lucky compared to the position your father's in, I can't really imagine how hard starting and sustaining a gardening business is when you have a family.

This is one of the many things that irk me about how Republicans sell their business rhetoric to their people. They're always talking about small businesses but it seems evident there's little they want to do to actually help small businesses.

Decoupling healthcare from employment would save money for businesses that have employees as well as make it easier for people that want to start a business to leave jobs where there's that 'health care security'.

I can't speak too much to taxes but it seems silly that here in CA to have a business you pay $800/yr to the franchise tax board. I'm sure you have further stories about how that becomes even more complex as the business grows.

I believe this is why the 'keep the government out of my business' line of thinking appeals to people and makes them think Republicans have their interests at heart (evidence points otherwise but still...). It becomes very complicated and expensive very quickly.
I did manage to dodge the question, but now I'm not sure what the next step is. Do you have any advice?

Last time I tried this, my rate was high enough that they balked. I'd like to avoid that, but still charge enough to make it worthwhile.

I thought it'd go like this: Start at double my highest rate, then wait for them to counteroffer. Commence negotiation. But last time they just walked.
I’d be worried about a kid being quiet on the playground. Those are the ones up to something mischievous lol
Clearly it is a process - the point the article is making isn't that rules shouldn't exist, rather that any rule should just be a conclusion being explained to the child.

i.e: The answer to "why" should never be "because I said so".

I get that many kids will just ask why infinitely, and lots of parents say that because they are fed up and know the child isn't taking on board the answer, but I'd recommend instead insisting on a specific question - when they ask "why", ask "what don't you understand?" or drill down. This has the advantage of potentially catching a real miscommunication where the child doesn't understand something but truly is trying to work it out, and tends to remove an easy annoyance of the "why" forever.

If the child isn't old enough to understand that cooker == hot and hot + hand == pain, clearly you have to stop them touching the cooker, but that's not mutually exclusive with helping them understand why, if possible.

I remember my parents teaching me not to put my fingers in the door frame when it was open by putting a carrot through and letting me close the door, slicing the carrot in half. I wasn't afraid of punishment or following a rule - I understood why I shouldn't do it, so I didn't.
Huh? How could VR possibly get rid of "the same information, repeated over and over again"? The problem comes from limited research (fast & cheap, not good), not HTML presentation. VR is not going to help with that, as it's not going to magically replace Google (which already indexes books anyway).
> The boomers represent an irresistible pile of money. But they don't smoke. They don't have new households to start. They're getting wise to the whole sugar thing. What is left to tempt them with ?

> What if there were a clear imperative on the part of a variety of industries to keep this population as unhealthy as possible - so they can stripmine their assets for "healthcare" ?

It's not clear that living a healthy lifestyle reduces healthcare costs, it can actually make you more expensive to care for.[1][2][3]

Diabetes medications and death from sudden heart attacks are cheap. Healthy people who live into their 80s/90s are the biggest drag on the healthcare system. They spend more of their lives as retirees. They end up needing 24-hour care. And then they still incur the same end-of-life causes as the obese/smokers... they get cancer, they get heart disease, alzheimers, etc.

Smokers and obese are inexpensive to care for in terms of lifetime cost. The best-case scenario for an insurance company is that you get hit by a bus or something. Barring that, I think they might actually prefer that you be a smoker or become obese.

I usually do 20mins of spinning and then I spent 20mins to train rest of my body.

I also have resistance bands that probably have been the best £20 investment the past 2 years.

Every time I feel tired I do a couple exercises. Usually I spend around 5mins.

Yes and no. From my limited exposure to kids (father of two - 3.5 and 1.5), while in vast majority of cases explaining makes a difference, there are areas where there's perfect understanding but that doesn't lead to desired behavior. Like the older taking everything away from his little brother. He knows perfectly well he can't do it. He was also shown how it feels (I took everything from him for several minutes). He still does it. There's a certain emotional (on one side) and moral (on the other side) aspect that goes beyond mere explaining and understanding.

My brother, who have no kids, have a kind of doing things that makes the kids like him (he was a handball coach at the time). When I asked him what it was many years ago, he told me : « I treat them as adults, talk to them on an equal base »

So when my children was born, I decided to do the same for them. Talking like an adult (with sometimes words they had no chance to understand), explain the why and how of stuff we ask them to do.

Never raised the hand on them. Sometimes it’s a little hard to deal, but most of the time everything goes well.

We’ll see when they will be teenagers, but for now, we all live in harmony, and we are often complimented by other parents for their behavior.

Maybe we got lucky (we will never know) or may be this approach was good.

But for us, it’s the way to do.
Actually, a similar distinction is important in thermodynamics as well. Even at 0K (with no movement of atoms), you can still have a "residual entropy" related to the randomness in the crystal structure. For example, a solid CO crystal at 0K still has disorder in the direction the molecule is oriented (possible because the C-O dipole is small but nonzero).

I don't view the dev's change in narrative from p2p cash to store of value as a positive development. Neither is their fetish with decentralization. Frankly I think their refusal to hard fork an increased block size opened the playing field to several other contenders. I think the bottom line is that we need practical approaches and solutions not some over designed perfect solution that is 3 years away.
