In a domestic abuser safe space, the focus is on coping and healing, not on debating how much the woman (or man) contributed to the circumstances that resulted in their abuse. So in the non-pejorated (universities have destroyed its meaning by making entire campuses "safe spaces") term safe-space, some views are not appropriate, views that undermine the comfort of vulnerable people to express themselves fully.

Collectivism doesn't necessarily imply a collective, but I agree with your sentiment. All collectivism means in my view is that in a group of people each member gives priority to the survivial of the group and its other members more than themself.
Collectivists just want to be left alone? How does that work?

And now you understand why George Akerlof was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics. The only rational response for readers is to block ads on websites that don't take security seriously. Because there's no way for a website to signal that they've taken precautions to ensure ads are safe, it's rational for readers to assume all websites with ads are unsafe, and block ads everywhere. Ad-supported websites cannot exist.

I'd be interested to know how you filter the garbage data? (By questions here I know others are interested, so public response would be great)

I know people have done these types of studies before but found that they easily became bias, and thus there is a wariness of using it (like the judge AI who was more likely to convict black people). I'm not sure how it is in Norway, but I don't expect it to be much different from America, where there are places which are disproportionately convicted of crimes, where other areas such crimes are seen as infractions. This is really going to mess with the data and perpetuate the bad system.

I have tried to migrate to a dual boot Chromebook w/Linux twice. But, I couldn't get past the fact that if the Chromebook crashed, it would hard reset, wipe the Linux partition and you would have to set it up all over again.

It was easy to setup the Chrome side, but re-installing and then reconfiguring Ubuntu for web dev was a big hassle.

A big learning experience for me has also been that you shouldn't ever update an iPhone.

Whatever version of iOS you got out of the factory, stick to it, because developers just don't give a fuck about performance.

Between iOS updates, performance considerations aren't made for older models at all. Newer iOS versions are developed against higher end models. I don't give a fuck what the compatibility charts say, of course Apple's iOS team ensures that it works, that doesn't mean it works _well_. And it definitely doesn't mean it was intentionally designed to work against that model whatsoever.

As a reminder, iPhone 6's original iOS version was 8. We're coming up on 12.
I think part of your argument is true: Europe benefits from being in the American sphere of defence, but, I also think this is a red herring as the USA is more than rich enough to have both a strong military and look after its population.

It creates two orders a sell and a buy. I'm taxed capital gains on the $10k sale (about $600 gain) and the buy has nothing to do with it, until I sell it in 5 years.

It's pretty simple, they just go about their lives. How exactly do you imagine collectivists live? People in a collectivist culture or society aren't attached to each other by the belly; as long as their culture/society is functioning they probably would want to be left alone like any regular person, collectivist or not.

Well, when the inner community relies heavily on trust, such as a company where you handle peoples' money, or even teach them about money, I think integrity is such a highly valued quality, that you would be extremely sensitive to any sign that an individual lacks it ( ie acting differently in different situations, or cheating on their spouse, for example ).

Not following you -- even in your quote I don't mention the EU.
Thanks - given your comment it sounds like option 1 mentioned above where gains are calculated based off of USD value even if the currencies are traded directly. But as another commenter mentioned, I don’t see how this can work because the trade doesn’t involve USD at all, and the exchange rate for USD/ETH may vary widely between exchanges. And for more niche cryptocurrencies, a USD value may not even exist because there are no trades between USD and that currency.
It's not cheap for me, as it is nearly half the amount I paid for my iPhone SE. At that point, I'd be much better off buying a newer phone.

As for the battery only being reduced by 8%, I think that's a huge positive point for the SE and its internals. This phone just lasts so long that you charge it less than the other phones Apple sells.

The price spiked after the press release announcing the name change. The press release caused a real spike.

It seems far more likely that the name change hasn't been made formal, or if it has, it hasn't trickled into Yahoo's database yet. The press release says:

It's an intention. It hasn't formally happened yet.

Yeah IMHO, the $79 is fine and so is the turnaround time. In fact I had mine replaced for free (6s) through a recall program they had.

IMO, the problem is Apple either tricks you into upgrading your OS or constantly nags you if you don't. When you find out that the new iOS has slowed down your phone, you're forced to keep using it instead of being able to revert your phone back to the factory state - something every user expects out of a consumer device.
Don't forget that the US spends by far the most per capita on health care world wide. The NHS saves money.
A large part of that is because traveling abroad is prohibitively expensive for a lot of people (which the article touches on). Especially if you don't live on one of the coasts. California to London is over 10 hours of flight time. I don't think Europeans fully appreciate how huge the United States is. Texas alone is bigger than every country in Europe, save Turkey.

From the perspective of environmentalism, I think all phones should have mandatory replaceable batteries. Is that really so absurd? Why are companies allowed to design devices with such disregard for the environment.
The alternate question is: How far are people able to ignore personal beliefs before they refuse to work with/under someone? If you asked a gay person, there are a fair amount of people who would refuse to work with someone that opposes gay marriage. If you asked a black person, I imagine the majority would walk away from a job if it turned out one of the highest level employees was a Grand Dragon of the KKK.

When those views become part of the public sphere they're put under scrutiny. Each person has their own individual limit for what they're willing to put up with, and a community in turn has a collective limit. There are some companies that might be more friendly, but I would imagine if you held an opinion like that in say, Seattle you might have a bit of trouble if it was well-popularized.

This bubble is relatively small in comparison -- so far. The number of companies, the amount of the real economy affected, the sheer pervasiveness in daily life, etc. AOL single handedly carpeted North America with CDs. Internet technology revolutionized so many things it's hard to pick the most important, in the space of about 5 years. The one that still stands out to me personally is how it totally crushed international long distance calling. Hell, it completely revolutionized the _porn_ industry. Bitcoin is no comparison (again, so far).

> democratic communist state

I wonder if this is not an oxymoron. In my view, democracy means (a lot of) politics, while communism means no or very little politics (in a true sense of the word).
Timing is everything. I was invested in both (admittedly not much) and made a bit of money but certainly nothing remotely life changing--and way more than offset by other investments.
> The whole line about the difference in entertainment is utter drivel. Big Brother started in the UK, there is plenty of garbage culture coming from Europe.

Started in the Netherlands FWIW, and the original Big Brother was a genuinely innovative, brave piece of television, like it or not. Garbage culture is ploughing the format into the ground with hundreds of almost-identical shows, and that was more of a US thing.

> I find it strange to mention Spain, and really all the PIIGS nations who not long ago were in financial dire straits and Greece has still not escaped.

It's vital to mention, because that can be the downside of the European approach: stagnant economies where people are comfortable but growth is low.

> The lack of a decent safety net in the US scares the crap out of me. The richest nation in the world should not have this poor a safety net. But to make Europe seem like some workers paradise is laughable.

Like you say, becoming a billionaire isn't something that seems possible in Europe; people who want to win big will prefer the US. But I do think Europe genuinely has it better for the average person.
Maybe a third of that is a reasonable price.

HN has a very good, solid, commendable moderation policy. It's also an echo chamber. These are separate topics though: I (mostly* ) don't believe one feeds the other, I strongly believe the reasons for the echo chamber here are unrelated.

HN is not just a tech discussion forum, it's one administered and hosted by an influential, Silicon Valley VC company. This means, with zero input from moderators, the views expressed will naturally tend toward a worldview that endorses the activities of such a firm, and the tendencies of local SV culture.

* I say mostly as there was just one case here on HN in the not too distant past around political topics that were explicitly banned, which is the first and only example of moderation based on topic rather than based on behaviour I've seen here. That aside, my points above stand.
> The Demo they were targeting is the age group (25 to 36 years old ) is when most people have their first child.
No very many people start a family when they are over 40, sure it happens but it is rare.
If parental leave was a concern than hiring people over 40 should be your priority as most people over 40 will have old children and not be taking parental leave.
People over 50 will likely have Collage aged or old children and need every very little time off for child related events (school events, illness, etc)
So discriminating against older workers because of children seems illogical

I hadnt seen the exact age group and you are correct: in terms of parental leave 25-36 are more dangerous. All what follows your argumentation supports that there are reasons to want people from one age group or another. Which is what the person I answered to was asking: examples of legitimate reasons to (literally, not 'negatively')discriminate by age.

> Just so you know, there is an entire world outside of SF and Mountain View... I know it is shocking but...

Im not american, you don't need to tell me about that. But to this day, SF suffers from very low diversity in the work environment, maybe because families leave the city.

Each to their own I guess, but count me out of that life style

The more energy you put behind your preferences, the more you justify that is logical for employers to target different groups. Its not about what you think, its about what whatever employer thinks employees think. And if they think 25 year olds are more likely to move , to start working for them, to live in SF or MV for 10 years,and are more likely to be swayed by social media ads for a job, then they have an absolutely legitimate reason to target.

For discrimination in america, I think Adam Smith made one of the best arguments: because it is illegal to have that preference, it makes people accusative. If it weren't illegal, it would barely be a topic at all, as it is that so many job positions show these biases but because they are legal people dont even care.

"The law which put an end to all prosecutions against witchcraft, which put it out of any man’s power to gratify his own malice by accusing his neighbour of that imaginary crime, seems effectually to have put an end to those fears and suspicions by taking away the great cause which encouraged and supported them."
>It does only affect them though, but that is not the same,especially when people are using this argument (as you do) to insinuate that people opposing gay marriage think gay people are lesser beings or something like that.

Actually to the best of my knowledge, it is the same, at least under US law. De facto discrimination is still considered discrimination.
Yes, of course other countries, but most Americans have limited understanding of the way of life of people in other countries. Points of reference exist but the majority of Americans aren't familiar enough with those points of reference to make a comparison.
Almost Every western country is in a massive hole of debt, the us included.

I think it is more sustainable than other systems, especially the one practiced in the US.

Also, please note than in the US, public spending on health is already huge, and there’s a huge private spending as well - iirc about 20% of us GDP is spent on healthcare, which is double any other western country, and with worse results to boot. It is already unsustainable.

An echo chamber would appear to be a derisive term for instances of freedom of association. That being said, it would be nice if "links" to alternate viewpoints could be kept in close proximity to said chambers.

What should bother more people are echo chambers pretending to be open forums. Look no farther than Wikipedia for an ostensibly open community which is in fact an echo chamber allowing no alternate viewpoints; any remark less than fawning for the state of Israel or Judaism is flushed straight down the memory hole and scrubbed off the "Talk" page by an army of Hasbara trolls.
My thought was Microsoft. There are a ton of those from back in the day still there.
I see what you mean, that is an interesting parallel. An oversight on my part.
I don't believe that the phone is slowing down to extend battery life. I believe it is because when batteries degrade, they can no longer supply the same max voltage they used to. This can lead to CPU instability, and CPU voltage requirements can be reduced by underclocking. It makes more sense to me since the race to sleep would be faster if the iPhone still had its higher max clock speed, which would actually save your battery more often than not.

The clear explanation here is that different people value different things. I lived in NYC and didn't enjoy it for two out of the three reasons you mention (I didn't really detect the "me-first attitude," although it's certainly a common NYC stereotype). But there are clearly a lot of other redeeming qualities such as the food, cultural opportunities, and general sense (accurate or not) or being at the center of the world.

(And come on. The Subways don't "barely work." They work. I took the subway to work virtually every day with few problems. They're just dirty and don't keep an extremely precise schedule.)

Of course, one's experience will also vary by neighborhood, income level, etc.
I think this is an indeed an unfair jeremiad (despite its disclaimer) yet it does make a correct point.

The overall objectives in the US are different. So in most countries, for example, a transportation system is designed to move people around. So a train line can run to an airport,for example. In most US cities its goals are seemingly different (spend as little as possible, regardless of externalities? Punish people who can't afford a car? Make a political point? It's never clear).

The transaction costs (both in time as well as actual $) of the most routine things are higher. So yes the taxes are lower but overall costs (the difference between total and disposable income) usually end up higher.

I do love working in the USA, and have done so for the majority of my (35+y) working life. The people are friendly (as they typically are most places). But day to day life in the US is a drag compared to life in other wealthy countries (I have lived and worked for years in Australia, Asia and Europe).

Part of my objection to that article is that things are more alike than they are different. Cartels can exert control to maintain rents (taxi unions, for example -- my train example isn't quite as cut and dried as I made out).

And in in the US when there's a difficult political dispute both sides typically battle it out, and amp it up, making resolution harder and fostering public cynicism and apathy. In Europe when there's a difficult political dispute both sides typically make a muddle, kicking the ball down the street and hoping the problem will go away, making resolution harder and fostering public cynicism and apathy. In the parts of Asia where I lived, when there's a difficult political dispute nothing really happens unless someone is strong enough to simply make a decision (a strongman perhaps, or the bureaucracy) which isn't particularly democratic and fosters, at best, public cynicism and apathy.
