Let me provide you a personal experience that might help put this "rules are bad" trope in context.

One day I was with my daughter (~24 months old) at the Zoo and she wanted an Ice Cream and I said "nope". She looked around with wide eyes and noticed all the people near by. Then, she did something I had never seen before -- she dropped down on the ground, twisted and swirled, and started to scream; for quite some time. I calmly sat down nearby and asked her: "when you're done, could you let me know?". Over the next minute or so, several parents gathered around to gawk at the spectacle. When my daughter got close enough to some urine on the ground, I got up, walked over and said: "careful, icky pee here". Without stopping the rolling or the screaming, she immediately recognized and steered clear of the urine. I then sat down again and said, "when you're done, could you let me know?". After another minute or two longer, with hoarse voice and a few bruises, she stood straight up and said: "Fine; I'm done. Monkey next?".

What was problematic was the reaction of other parents. During the episode, they became increasingly anxious looking at each other and trying to catch my attention. One of the mothers asked me "Where is your wife?", to which I responded: "at work, but don't worry, I'm the primary care giver". A father said (after being nudged by his wife): "well, you're just going to sit there?" to which I calmly responded: "It's a temper tantrum". One final mother didn't say a word, but made sure to give my daughter comforting eyes and looked harshly at me, making sure I knew she was dialing someone (police?) on her cell phone.

Once my daughter got up, we inspected her pants for horse urine and talked about how that was an extreme waste of time. Later on I asked her what the Tantrum was about. She explained it quite clearly to me: "well, daddy, one other boy just had one and he got the ice cream, so I wanted to see if that would work". I explained to her that this was pretty bad behavior and that if I ever see it again, we will go home immediately. I've had a few tantrums since, but none of them have been public. My daughter and I then had a very fantastic afternoon talking about Monkeys and more effective ways to communicate her desires.

This was a very unexpected experience for me. I seriously didn't expect that in 1-2 minutes, I'd have a dozen adults gathering around in a circle. I didn't expect 2 of them would be brave enough to hurl insults. I didn't expect one of them to be implicitly threatening police (CPS?). I can see how many parents would have caved under such peer pressure. Perhaps it's not the parent's fear of the children that leads to these problems, but instead, fear of what other parents might say or do?

So. I'm not sure how to connect this to this thread. First I'm not sure a "rule" would have helped. Punishing her wasn't going to help (I evaluated going immediately home, but I think the event was traumatic enough for her already). I'm not sure. Would you do it differently? If you saw me on the bench, would you think that I had given up?
There’s nothing being circumvented here. As another member pointed out you should check out how “first-sale” doctrine is used to decide these types of cases. Once Disney sells the DVD to Redbox they lose rights to dictate how further sales work.

My take is that Redbox is totally in the clear, and if Disney has a beef with somebody it’s with the consumer. Usually suing the consumer is bad for business.
It’s something I’ve wondered too. If no one uses for a long time, why would anyone be incentivized to store that block chain?

Could anyone explain?
Since the tax on RSUs (stock options) was removed from the final bill, they will probably be minimally affected. I imagine that the taxes affecting grad school could affect hiring a bit as well
Just going to insert my layman’s opinion here, but I think the article’s suggested methods are good.

Children learn by example and they are always watching. If a child is misbehaving In public, the child is still watching. How does my parent (my role model) solve their problems? By yelling? By hitting? Or by talking?

And to counter anecdote with anecdote, I have seen plenty of misbehaving children in public with parents frantically trying to control them by yelling at them or spanking them, and it usually only results in even louder crying and more defiance.

Children misbehave as a kind of experimentation. At least some bad behavior is unavoidable, and it is an excellent chance for parents to give their children a lesson in conflict resolution.
Dude. Home ownership is one of the most tax advantaged investments in the US. Rather than telling me to get of my “high horse”, why don’t you get of your Austrian economics horse and point to a more tax advantaged investment and we can chat? Can’t? No, because it does not exist unless you’re into carried interest territory.
The article makes many good points but (as many others have noted) it really misses the mark on rules and obedience. Rules and obedience are an essential abstraction to allow larger organisations of people to function and interoperate. The rules aren't always the best for each individual at every time, but overall they help things run smoothly. There is always some kind of consequence for not following them.

To understand (and eventually change) a system you always starts with a high level acceptance of the 'rules' and drill down from there. Why shouldn't children also be taught to operate on that basis?

Say they want to question the 'rule' about having 3 meals a day. That's fine, drill down into why and maybe change it. Maybe bed-time is unfair, perhaps the 8yo doesn't want to go to bed at the same time as the 5yo. It should be ok to challenge these things to an extent, but at the end of the day someone needs to make things run smoothly for everyone, and that's the parents' job. Rules (with an expectation of obedience) are how they do that.

I completely agree. In the book Reviving Ophelia [1] the author asserts that the most well-adjusted girls were the ones who had plenty of well-defined boundaries at home. Rules are good and accepted in the adult world; why would the child world be any different?

I would say the price should go up, but the price of ETH is anything but predictable. As we've seen with the rise of BTC, there's no rationality in the market. It's all based on hype.

If price was based on tech, ETH would be $10k+ and BTC would be a dying relic.

This is truly delusional. Yes, you can build a poorly constructed cathedral. Yes, the cathedrals left standing are truly exceptional. On the other hand, no bazaar will even come close the longevity of an exceptional cathedral. The philosophy of its construction is fundamentally flawed.

Those are usually quite expensive. If HDMI requires 48Gb/s capable transceiver chips to be built into every TV, they will get really cheap very fast. It might not be a viable solution in the end, but it could work for some applications.
Obvious precedent: bulk food items, also usually marked "not for resale." I presume that that wording has no legal impact; I've definitely seen various convenience stores selling the "not for resale" food portions.
I think that's probably true.
Perhaps it's an acquired taste. Some of our older office/test network routing is Mikrotik hardware, but since I started pitching in, all the new stuff has been Ubiquiti. I think it's night and day, the UBNT stuff is great but I really dislike the Mikrotik UIs - I find it really confusing and in my experience the documentation is generally poor (unless you only use the CLI).

The Ubiquiti hardware generally seems much higher performance and is also low cost. But on the other hand, I do know some guys who really like the Mikrotik stuff so maybe it's just me...
We’re all asking ourselves that question aren’t we?!
While the landing, marketing, and documentation sites look quite polished, does anyone using the site from app side agree that the design is lacking?

Well, indeed, and I followed a similar career path to you. I was a philosophy major at UGA, and by the time I was 20 I was the senior technical personality at a small local ISP and interested in VoIP. I had been working nearly full time since my second semester. By the time my sophomore year began, work had rapidly evolved to take up 98% of my time and attention. I technically lingered into the first part of my junior year, but by that point long a very token and symbolic presence in class. The next step up from there was going to be a move to Atlanta and a big-boy corporate job, so I took it.

However, you can't just extrapolate from these experiences to everyone going to college across the entire work force. Our field is a bit uniquely ... democratic.

I think they mean that anyone with value invested in Ethereum blockchain (anyone holding ether) is incentivised to stay a peer. They don't need to care about the game, just about ether in general.

Nobody thinks it magically does anything. There's an incentive built into the system for people who have nothing to do with the game to keep the blockchain and so the game data alive.
the idea is very interesting, really very interesting, but unfortunately the implementation is not the best

Honest question - why go the other way (unless the answer is because you got them with questionable legality)? I have stacks of DVDs that I bought over the last 15 years, and I’m ripping them all because I hate having the discs around and would rather have them in Plex. Going deliberately in that direction isn’t something I’d see desirable, but I only see from my point of view.

I worked in an investment bank in the 1990s and they offered a sabbatical (and called it that) after 10 years and every 5 years thereafter IIRC. I think it was 2 months. At least 6 weeks. You had to take it all at once you could not subdivide it.
Except that studies show reduced capacity to work after a certain number of hours. Does doing the equivalent activity to "work" at home count against those hours? I don't know the answer there.

We do know that diversity increases the effectiveness and problem solving ability of a team - at worst, getting a bunch of people that have home labs is actively detrimental to this, and at best does nothing to improve it.

There's limited time available in interviews, and you're probably better suited asking relevant questions.

(And from a personal perspective, asking about home lab details would benefit me. I've got ten gig fiber throughout the house and close to a terabyte of RAM consumed by my VMs... But none of that is realistically making me a better employee)
> And filing taxes is simpler since you don't have to prove that you had health insurance.

All you had to do was tick the "Yes" box. You only had to prove it if you were audited.
It really doesn't take that much time to create a detailed estimate (and then pad it for contingencies). Ultimately the entire rest of the world operates on the basis of real time, not sliding-scale points.
Looking at the Unifi controller setup, I'm a bit perplexed as to why they would choose to use MongoDB, although I'll admit I lack experience with everything related to networking. I'd think that using SQLite would allow for a simpler setup while providing better performance. Am I missing or misunderstanding something?

Does anyone have suggestions for beginner friendly guides to home networking? My home setup is pretty hacky, and I'd love to setup something more secure as well as improving my understanding. Right now I have an ASUS RT-AC66U router with asuswrt-merlin, and it runs an OpenVPN server, so I can remotely access my home network.

How do people setup their home network domain name and device hostnames? I have the router set to update a public DDNS entry each time it connects to the internet, and a LAN DHCP Server with manually assigned IP and hostname for each known MAC address. This works alright for home devices, but it gets awkward for mobile devices and laptops. How do you restrict sharing functionality to VPN connections? Should your hostname remain the same regardless of what network you're connected to, or should it vary?

Do you use IPv6? My ISP supports IPv6, and I had enabled it on my router for a few months, but eventually ended up turning it off since I felt uncertain that everything was configured securely. Am I just being paranoid?

Is it ever worth setting up a RADIUS Server for WPA2-Enterprise wireless security? I kinda like the idea of having a centralized location for handling authN/authZ, but the relationship between the different technologies (Kerberos, LDAP, ActiveDirectory, etc) is pretty confusing, and nobody seems to do a good job at explaining how it all ties together. Right now I just generate an SSH key per device, and I import it to each device which should allow connections. But that increases the friction of deploying home services, which gets a bit demotivating.

What monitoring tools do people setup for their home network? Do you handle updates manually or do you have that process automated? Every time I consider setting up a network monitoring tool, I kinda end up going down the rabbit hole and getting overwhelmed by the huge number of options. Many of these tools kinda assume that the user is already familiarized with best practices and that they know exactly what they want, which couldn't be further from the truth in my case.
I eventually expect that this will allow variable framerate to be used in systems like DirectTV to improve compression and squeeze in more channels.

Right now the TV support is not there, but consoles will be pursing this tech (XB1X supports it) and the TVs are going to follow.
As a father, my 2 cents: There's something in between talking and yelling. Call it the 'stern' talk if you will. I get this authoritative voice, usually giving the little guy two choices: Either accept what you have right now peacefully (i.e. take your winnings), or play me again and I'll take away some of your freedom (pick him up, put in baby car, put to bed, something like that). So far it has proven very effective with my 2yo, calms him down immediately and after a little while his mood tends to be great. The little bastards seem to like when they get to know their boundaries, it seems to give them a feeling of safety. So far its also not becoming more frequently necessary (which I fear, because inevitably it will loose effectiveness at some point). Maybe 0.5-1.0 occurrences per day or so. Also, it's only ever needed when he's with his mother and I'm there (the 'good cop' who can't be strict with him until she breaks down...), when I'm alone with him he pretty much behaves 100%. Kids, they are masters at what they're doing...

There are some useful, attractive parenting principles here, but it's worth remembering that raising a child is like a large, complex, multi-year software dev project with a vague spec and constant scope creep. There are some methods that can help, but every one is a unique snowflake. I love the concept of critical rationalism, but it isn't going to work always, or work for all kids. Sometimes, someone in charge just needs to make a decision for things to work.

Set the example, be consistent, give them your attention, help them to own their decisions, and teach them to follow Wheaton's Law. After that, you've just got to hope that things work out.

Thanks for this story. I like to think I would do better than some of those other parents... (At least, father to father, I wouldn't challenge your capability by asking about mommy!) I'll do my best to keep this story in mind in the future.

It seems to me, reading this from your perspective, is that the correct attempt at intervention would simply be asking, "Is everything OK?" And after hearing it's a temper tantrum, a hearty "good luck" before walking off!
Basiclly everything that's created in the U.S. is under copyright, that includes HTML and CSS source code. Even if you wrote completely different code, but your design was a pixel-perfect reproduction you'd be violating copyright (I'm talking about a wholesale ripoff here, not one element like drop shadows being copied).
I am very firmly in your camp on how to handle that. I’ve watched my daughter do this so many times even at 20 months. Each time I hang out nearby, I will typically talk calmly to her but I will not attempt to soothe the wild beast. Sure enough, she tires of it pretty quickly, gets up, and is right back to her happy self every time.
I always thought this had more to do with the fact that bulk items usually don't have nutrition information on them.

Yes, you do. Otherwise it's just whining.

Illustration:

I can't fly like Superman, even though it would be really, really cool if I could. It's a problem that makes my life less happy than it would otherwise be.

The first option I have is figure out some way to make that possible, and advocate that society (or venture capitalists, or whoever) devote the resources necessary to make it happen.

The second option, if the first ends in failure, is to conclude that it's not actually possible to do that, and just accept that fact and get on with my life.

The third option is to spend all my time complaining about how "unfair" it is.

The third option is called "whining".

Yep, there it is. Some of those poor people will transition to these new higher wages in farming. This will reduce labor supply in other sectors which will push wages up across the board. Rinse and repeat for other industries full of illegal immigrants: construction, maid services, etc.
