Something that worked really well for us, teach the kid sign language. It isn't just that they are screaming and complaining. They are trying to communicate, and failure to do so is frustrating. I can only imagine how frustrating it is when you haven't learned the emotions, yet.

(And don't let "teach them sign language" think you need to teach full on words. Basic signaling that is agreed between you and them is all I mean. Typically "want" and "hungry" are the only ones you need.)

> But at the same time I think this whole "you're not allowed to say anything bad about parenthood" is unhealthy.

I tend to agree, but I think the limits apply to voicing regret for having specific children, especially in front of said children.

I think about the most sickening thing that anyone has ever described to me is meeting somebody who, in front of his own (tween and teenage) children, referred to them as basically a regrettable burden foisted upon him by his wife. It's bad enough suspecting that your parents don't care for you, I'll bet it hurts more to know for certain.

Still, it is nuts to receive backlash for saying that it's incredibly hard work. Of course it's hard work!
That's not the only reason emails may be delayed.
The variables with children are nearly impossible to prepare for. No amount of preparation will do handle:

1. Development/physical disabilities, or overall health issues

2. Reaction from others, will immediate/extended family help? It's one thing to ask, another for the reality to set in. Overall support base in general.

3. Employment realities. Will a lot of employers have explicitly stated policies, the day-to-day realities often differ (and can be very different between mum(s)/dad(s)).

4. Just general variations in children/growth. I have two, one eats but doesn't sleep well, the other doesn't eat well but sleeps soundly. One enjoys time to himself, but has a temper. The other is far more social (so much social) but is very even-tempered and empathic. No amount of preparation can provide enough knowledge/experience to deal with these qualities, not withstanding 1/2/3.

As others said, we read books, attended classes, looked after nieces/nephews, younger siblings, baby sat etc. We were still woefully unprepared for our own.

> The argument your side used to take was to attack the traditional family structure, calling it a force of oppression.

My side? Please elaborate.

"Traditional family structure" has been used to browbeat same-sex parents, transgender people and anyone that lives a life not depicted in Norman Rockwell portraiture. In that way it has been politically weaponized to oppress the marginalized.

Families remain powerful agents for wealth creation, economic as well as intellectual, social, and spiritual wealth. This does not mean we should structure society to make no resources available for a single mother; no one should be faced with the choice of staying with an abusive partner or losing her only means of providing for her children.

It's nice to have a point of agreement, but unfortunate that you choose to keep your worldview narrow regarding our economic reality.

Not really - as I said, any instruction which can theoretically raise an exception is a branch. It isn’t the proper terminology but it gives the right idea.
It is very faulty logic to say that because .coms got to 7 trillion market cap (and as an aside, isn't that whole exchanges, not just technology stocks?) we should expect crypto currencies to go much higher than 0.7 trillion valuation. The analogy between the two things makes sense in that they were both popular investments, but otherwise are different in many ways.

The major ISPs have a ridiculous amount of resources and are free to publish datasets answering this question at any moment. In fact, I'd be astounded if they don't already have this data, both for themselves and for their competitors. So until ISPs share that data, I'm terminally unsympathetic to any sort of bias in the public record on this particular topic.

Also, the selection of left-leaning people doing publicly accessible research is, AFAICT, a self-selection. The problem isn't that our institutions are biased, but that conservatives (in general) choose not to pursue scientific careers in the same numbers as liberals. This suggests a fundamental limit to your proposed solution because there aren't enough "heterodox" collaborators to ensure viewpoint diversity. One of the studies published on the website you mentioned even suggests this underlying cause.

Also, I'll note that in the vast majority of academia, internal politics (what research methodologies, maths, etc. someone likes to use) are far more of a problem than external politics (of the sort you'd typically call "politics" in general conversation). E.g. I'm not at all worried about "liberal bias" in physics or chemistry or CS; if it's a problem at all, then it's a minor one compared to other problems.
The monopoly broadband providers are extremely good at spreading FUD based on (incorrect) market-based economies: that public-sector solutions are usually more expensive and less efficient than private-sector ones.

This is only true in the presence of healthy competition, which is generally absent in US broadband. Broadband providers tend to point to their (at most) single competitor as evidence of a competitive market.

It doesn't take collusion to fix prices if you only have one competitor.
Id say its a concern in the short run, but that would incentivize neighboring communities to invest in shared infrastructure and to peer with each other in the long run, esp if their only other option is to be shut out of the market entirely.
So what is your goal? Your genes are in already loads of people. No matter how many kids you have your specific combination of them will be diluted out of existence in a few generations.

..

This is very hard to quantify and I certainly have no data to support this, but; I suppose, in this era of civilization, your actions in life, your influence on society and culture, and memes you propagate, rather than genes, will have a much greater influence.
fellow regretful father here and I couldn't agree more. Anyone who thinks that having a kid because they're partner wants one is a good idea should take note. A lot of relationships won't survive one parent resenting the other because of a kid. +1 on the loss of self and freedom. I got my vasectomy after my second and couldn't be happier.

I think their valuations will make sense, but no, not right now. I think this whole pile is breaking ground on new tech, tech that will redefine some of the things in our lives. Will Bitcoin / ETH be what holds on? No idea.

It sure sounds like the definition of what is IoT has changed since the last time I checked. I always thought IoT was about attaching sensors to objects in daily life, such as in clothing, appliances, food packages, doors, etc. Building sensors along a canal to me sounds like a regular surveillance network.

The project is still innovative though.
Except it's not, building costs are relatively fixed per square foot, but it's more profitable to sell them in one and two bedroom units, then using the extra space for a third bedroom. This is why in almost every high density building project you only see one or two bedroom units. Because that third bedroom isn't going to bring in as much money as an additional one bedroom unit. The result is the only place you build those kinds of houses are out in the burbs, it no more cost effective it's just that no one would buy a one bedroom house in the middle of no where so they build the only thing that will sell on the quickly diminishing resource of undeveloped land. Since we have been doing that for sixty years the only undeveloped land is well outside any reasonable commuting distance to a job, so you end up with house prices in the previously developed location soaring, then when the idea that maybe using up all that space on low density housing was a bad idea the response is there is intrinsic limitations.

And this goes back to the title of this article, part of the reason people see parenting as so burdensome is they now have to deal with the added realities of a Civic planning policy that is a miserable failure.

Edit: To add data, to build a basic house ( 4 corner ) at a Good, but not luxury level averages $147/sq.ft. , to build a multistory residential unit at highest quality it averages $150/sq.ft. If you build over 15 stories the average price can drop by about 11%. Those are raw construction costs, including labor and materials, and take into consideration most new housing developments in the suburbs are _not_ basic 4 corner houses.
> Although some sections of the canal had access to a fiber optic internet connection, other areas had no access and passed through remote areas with spotty or absolutely no cellular network service. As a solution, Yang and his team developed the so-called Smart Gateway to receive data continuously from local sensors and then transmit it to a cloud server using whatever signal was available at the moment. That could include fiber, Ethernet, 2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, or Zigbee.

If you're building such a massive infrastructure project, why not just run fiber along its length?
From what I suspect, we are talking about some backend issue that they are handling. Throughout my career I've never seen a "rotating shifts team" that can handle situations like this. It's usually one guy trying to fix it and a couple of others hanging in the office with a cup of coffee and giving advice on what should the company do next or being forced to update the status page.

Bitcoin - Because the problem with global finance is too much regulation.

It baffles me how seemingly capable people have had the idea that a cryptocurrency would counter 2008 style stuff. It seems like a reasoning short circuit: Big institutions failed us, so something without big institutions must be immune.

The big institutions failed us exactly by allowing each other to do too much. By not regulating (which is by definition centrally imposed).
Yeah this is wonderful. Some of the original data just didn’t make sense. For example, London County, which is home to the Dulles technology corridor and has the highest median income of any county in the US, with a 3.5% poverty rate, has only 50% home broadband uptake?

This isn't Overstocks first rodeo.

Back when Microsoft was literally paying people to use Bing, bing had a promotion such that certain items were eligible for a 20% discount, which was paid via a rebate check from Microsoft.

One day, I ordered some item then canceled it, and a couple months later I got an email informing me I had been credited for the purchase via MS, and my rebate account had, $10 or something. It took me about... 30 seconds to realize the implications of this.

I ordered as many plasma TVs as I could, one at a time, and then canceled them. I got about $900 of rebate checks before someone got suspicious. They canceled my account because I was buying too many TVs. They never did figure out what was going on.

Was it ethical and moral? No. But I hate MS and they've stolen thousands from me over the years. It felt great to get one over on them.

Edit: I've hated MS since I saved all summer to buy MS-DOS 5 and it was complete crap.
As a parent I can say, the desire to have a life never goes away, either.

I don't know if you already know this, but:

Bcash supporters are intentionally trying to create market confusion by claiming that "bitcoin cash" isn't "bitcoin cash", it is "bitcoin", a different coin.

I think that's hostile.
I've learned that getting a good data set is often the most challenging part of data analysis. You think "it should be easy to get this data" and usually it's not, unless someone else has already done the work.

One flaw I can already identify with your data set is that it doesn't differentiate between traffic originating from workplaces, or cellphone traffic. A source like Netflix could be a heavily biased set since it relies on self-selected subscribers; there is no skipping research about if their user base provides an adequate sample at the county level. Asking a huge company like Google and getting them to pay attention is another challenge.

The article writes about how the FCC does have more granular data, but "the commission is wary of “one carrier learning about another carrier’s market share or where their customers are,” Rosenberg said." So you are at the mercy of competitive businesses willingly releasing data that competitors might find useful.
You are not alone.

I am a stay-at-home father for a 4yo. It can be interesting at times. Mostly however it is frustrating and deeply lonesome, some days I've gone all day until dinner-time without being able to talk to another adult other than a passing "good morning" in the street.

And I look at my childless-couple friends with jealousy, they jump in the car and go for a weekend break or spend ten hours composing an award-winning photograph or just spend a Saturday doing nothing

Feel free to present your argument, which I welcome. I could be wrong and often am.

However, as an Anthropology major at a top tier university during the 90s, I can say for a fact that Pinker challenged convention (at my university, at least) and pushed the humanities toward a view that a person’s attributes were more the result of biology than social conditions. He also pushed against the prevailing postmodernist and relativist perspectives, among other things. And, although I haven’t read some of his recent work, nor kept up with his public views, I don’t see how you can say that “The better angels” is liberal, given that it promotes markets and a policing forms of strong government.

Unfortunately, lots of internet content pre-2000, including discussion forums, has disappeared. So, I’m struggling to link to evidence of discussions happening at that time.

By the way, your comment is pretty much ad-hominem, and normally I wouldn’t respond to you. But, because your type of behavior is the actual topic of conversation, I figured it was worth it. I find it amusing that you believe me a liberal ...
That was my thought as well, adopt a pen name and persona, and write about your journey with your disease. Accumulate a batch of posts as chapters to an ebook with a compelling story. I don't know, but seems like there'd be a thirst 'out there' for inspirational, and "here's what to expect" type of content from someone who'd been through the same situation. Just thinking out loud here.
by my reading, Author thinks we're all better off when we're protected from our irrationality by regulatory entities keeping us from doing stupid shit with our money.

i think the run on DOGE is about how much easier it is to move DOGE between exchanges. i could care less about pump&dumps... that type of behavior will naturally stop if we leave ourselves to discover the risks.

if we use a regulatory mechanism to prevent folks from engaging in that type of behavior, we may very well prevent speculation, but we won't teach anybody anything.

i think it's smarter, on the whole, to let the crazy crypto churn continue, and see where it takes us, than it is to disenfranchise all kinds of folks from learning about markets/currency/etc... by regulating them away from it.
No, if you don't want kids, you absolutely shouldn't have them because of some need to conform to others’ expectations.
It's true that we have lost trust in their analysis, but there is an important thing to remember here: fivethirtyeight is not a peer reviewed journal. You should treat their articles in roughly the same category as a CNN article on something Trump tweeted, not in the category as an article published in Nature. While they do tend to do better data analysis than the Associated Press, 538 articles are not refereed and should not be treated as such. The assumption of a "highly defensible" data analysis is a little strong for them. This is very apparent on their sports section, which should give you a clue about the actual rigor of their analyses. Don't cite a 538 article in your academic research unless the 538 article is directly citing peer-reviewed research (and even then you should probably just cite the original research).

If you think of them as a news organization that uses data as it's gimmick to sell page views, you will be less surprised at events like this (disappointed, yes- surprised, no). They have the same incentive to sensationalize things as a regular news organization. Their mission is not to increase the knowledge of the human race, their mission is to bring in page views to sell ads and make money.

It may sound like I'm coming down harsh on fivethirtyeight. I genuinely enjoy reading some of their articles, but I make sure to remember what kind of organization they actually are and don't fall for the trap of thinking they are a think tank staffed with postdocs.

Network neutrality has nothing to do with bandwidth.

Network neutrality means if I purchase a pipe with x Mbps of potential bandwidth, my communication on that pipe to any destination should have equal priority.

In other words, an ISP shouldn't be able to add rules that say, "When our pipe is congested and we need to slow or drop packets, Google has the highest priority, followed by Amazon, then x, y, z." You cannot shape or throttle traffic basted on where it comes and goes.

You could still have congestion. Maybe the route to AWS has a shorter round trip than to Digital Ocean because of which backbones the ISP has decided to pay for and connect to. But the point of Network Neutrality is that ISPs cannot priorities one packet type over the other. They must try to deliver each payload from each customer evenly and, if they can't, slow or block those payloads evenly and without prejudice.

The one exception to this is if the customer is on IPv6 and uses the prioritization available in the protocol. But even then, the customer is sending an indication to the ISP saying "this packet is not as important" or "this packet is very important."

This is a quite cool breakdown of the differences.

One thing it misses is in English (ie, the country) usage there is both.

Tea, obviously, is more common but the phrase "a cup of char" is clearly derived from the Chinese and Indian origins. Interestingly it (at least was) primarily a working class phrasing, possibly originating with sea-faring types and dock workers.

Of course now the US is confusing matters by making "chai" be ubiquitous for Massala chai, but that's a different matter!
That's a really hard feeling to explain. All I know is that I've always wanted kids and even ended a couple relationships shortly after they talked about never wanting kids.

After having four kids that desire is definitely sated, although I still do love holding and being around babies. The feeling was never as intense as the desire for sex, food or sleep, but definitely palpable. I suppose it's similar to the desire many have for a pet or companion.
Jesus, why? I think my K-1 (originally from Canada) cost something like $5,000, maybe $6,000 total. I guess plane fares and hotels might play into it, since I can cross by land.
