I'm betting Nicaragua has similar problems. I remember addresses that were like, "From the third roundabout, take the first exit toward the lake, turn left at Oliveo funeral home, take the second exit, fourth house on the left (it's blue)."

No street names or numbers, and you have to know what "third roundabout" means to even get started (there are three major roudnabouts in Managua, the third one is the one closes to the lake. And "toward the lake" means "north". It's a single word in Nicaraguan Spanish and it's used in place of the usual Spanish word for "north".
For anyone interested in a quick visual overview of some important ideas in information theory, I'd like to give a shout out to colah's "Visual Information Theory" post: http://colah.github.io/posts/2015-09-Visual-Information/
Interesting - nations full of low IQ people exhibit low socioeconomic outcomes, such as an inability to trust a chain of strangers to cheaply deliver packages.
I disagree, I think that the federal reserve's artificially low interest rates and essentially unlimited supply of money for the banks to loan out at these interest rates were at the heart of the most recent financial crisis in the US. A decentralized currency would certainly mitigate that.
Alternatively, it might show something about people (mainly Europeans) who have driven huge numbers of Africans into terrible poverty for generations where they have no option but to perform jobs poorly, steal, etc.

Likewise, assuming all problems in Africa are due to innate differences in "blacks" rather than considering other possibilities certainly says something about the person making that assumption.

A great deal of my thinking is done using an internal monologue. I have no problems with my hearing or speech, so that internal monologue happens to take the form of spoken language. While I don't think formal spoken language is necessary to think, I would think some sort of formal language is necessary for higher levels of thought.
This reminds me of how the family that owned the Hyatt hotels broke apart.

Putting my tinfoil hat for a minute, I suspect that it was well known and in use by various 3-letter agencies for years, and somehow they got wind of a foreign nation either exploiting this as well or about to expose it publicly. Their only move was to let a respectable entity like Google "discover" it.
I worked for a subway in college... before 9/11... and we could barely afford the promotions back then.

The franchise owners are at the mercy of the Subway corporation-- how it works is, they take all your money by requiring you to buy EVERYTHING from them at inflated prices. You're buying their meat, their bread, their cash registers, their people are remodeling your store, etc.

There used to be something called a sub club card. Basically, after 12 footlongs, you'd get a free one, which was tracked with stamps with your store number printed on them. We had to buy the stamps from corporate, the cards from corporate, and did they reimburse us for the free sandwich? No.
No, money supply is a pure count. Money supply is not quoted in terms of trade, it exists purely outside of market behavior.

Market cap requires a trade market in order for it to be calculated. It is money supply x last trade price. That's why you quote a cryptocurrency's market cap in some other currency, whereas a market cap is quoted in terms of itself.
I'm not sure I would call anything that's not physical "violence". There are other words for that: oppression, tyranny, bullying, verbal abuse, corruption, etc.
That is all much more cost intensive. Think of a delivery guy trying to sort through all that crap. List of landmarks? What a joke.
I'd actually think that with people using GPSs so much of the time using potentially quirky addresses that require some local context would be a bigger problem rather than a lesser one.

When I moved into my house, I effectively had two different addresses that I had to disambiguate based on who I was talking to. As far as the post office was concerned, I lived on Main Street. But a lot of the local maps and local service people thought I lived on North Main Street based on an older street naming convention. At various times, people would tell me I gave them the wrong address.
That is fair, but what we're left with are many more wrong explanations, and many of these wrong explanations are not more complicated than the correct one. And my complaint is not just the wrong metaphors, but the wrong technical explanations (such as, unfortunately, the submitted one, which I explain in another comment on this thread).
Even in the US stuff like that happens.

I recently refinanced, and the lender kept getting hung up on how they needed to "contact my county" for verification. Well, in Connecticut a "county" is nothing more than a name on a map or an organizational method. It's not an actual government entity, there's no one to contact.
I don't know your physiology, but 41 is entirely doable for most folks. I did have a friend that went through menopause at 37, they needed to go for a donor egg.

That said, evolution has a power greater than the tallest dam. That desire you are feeling is how we all got here. Be ok with the desire or the choice not being rational. And it very well may change _after_ you have a child. Also be ok with that, just give a respectful nod to evolution.
The internet was something new, and it fueled a speculation bubble. I think we are seeing something similar with cryptocurrencies. Are they something innovative and potentially useful? Yes. Do their valuations make sense? No.
I used to love Canadian quarters because they kept their steel/silver color all the way around, unlike the hideous copper-sandwich US coins. Was disappointed to learn as a kid that the Canadian coins were worth about 20% less than the American ones!
When I initially heard "derivatives", I assumed a bunch of board members bought calls right before the news. Off to jail with ya!

I think he was deluded about being the Son of God, but that doesn't mean we should throw out the ethical precepts he advocated. A life lived by the major tenets espoused by Jesus in the Bible - treat other people the way you would want to be treated, be compassionate to people who screw up, take care of people who are less fortunate than yourself - would be a good life. Not surprisingly, those are tenets that are common to most ethical systems, whether they are religious or philosophical.
2015 MacBook Pro - 0.71 x 14.13 x 9.73 = 97.6 cu in

2017 MacBook Pro - 0.61 x 13.75 x 9.48 = 79.5 cu in

The difference is 18 cubic inches, about the size of a 2 1/2" cube. I personally would take a few more hours of battery life, 32GB memory, SD card slot, etc in exchange for that volume on my carry on, even if I traveled as much as once a week.
So one thing that a lot of people, including the author of the article, may not realize is that Chinese 'dialects' aren't really dialects. They are each different languages spoken by different ethnic groups, kind of like how Spanish and Italian are different languages but still related. These different languages are called dialects mainly for political reasons, with the main one being unification. It's useful to think of China as Europe, unified through force instead of legislation.

Anyways, I'm going to disagree with you. imo 茶 has the same meaning in different parts of China. It's just said differently in differents parts of China just as like it's called different things in different parts of Europe. The only difference is that in China it's written as the same character.
42, I don't want kids. People keep telling me that:
I'd be happier if I had one, that they thought like me until they had one, that they wished they had them sooner, or more of them and so on...

I like my life as it is now and don't feel the appeal for kids. Should I take the risk because everybody says so?

I'd say that the "get a dog" mentality is more of a symptom of the root forces than support of them. Others have already explained it but essentially the trend of tribe/village -> urban neighborhood multigenerational/extended family single home -> suburban nuclear family -> transplanted dual-career couple has eroded any support network parents had. On top of other lifestyle, economic, and environmental pressures, the "get a dog" people are just saying "fuck it." Sure they add some social/peer pressure but that's blue on black compared to everything else.
You really care about their genes? What if they adopt kids or choose not to have any? Will it distress you greatly that you went through all that effort just to have your genes not continue to the next generation?

I think it's likely you're applying an evolutionary explanation to your parenting behavior, but don't really care that much about your children's actual genes. You care about your children as persons, not their molecular machinery.

If you really, really cared you would have your genes cloned and be donating massively to sperm banks and what not.

Many, many species have members that don't reproduce. After all, "It takes a village to raise a child". The genes of non-reproducers are even selected for - children who share a lineage with them, do better. So the gene carries on.

And what if 90% of that market consensus is really just 10 different high frequency traders battling for top market making position, with the occasional humdrum buying to "diversify"?

The market depth says a lot more about a currency's value than the market price or even volume does. It's not something that can be summed up into a tidy single number, though. Which means people don't talk about it when when writing glorified blog posts.

Except its not. The housing stock in cities used to be much more diverse, but then we spent 6 decades not continuing to build it out because we decided cars and gas were free and there was no detriment to unchecked waste. The whole point I am making is that you _could_ have affordable family housing in a city and not have all the associated problems of suburbs of which there are many as I listed, but without someone holding those "evil developers" to building it, they will just do what makes them the most money, and then you have a whole generation who is watching their house value skyrocket as we run into the limits of suburban style housing planing and they don't see how they possibly could have made a bad decision. I guess if its working out ok for you then everything is fine.
Great list, but there's a couple of important missing pieces:

6. Changing norms have greatly increased what is expected of a parent raising a child. Ignoring external cost increases, this has profoundly increased the cost and time investment to having a child.

7. Economic changes (e.g. 30 years of wage stagnation) all but force a family with both parents working, meaning parents have to work, and then thanks to #6, also do more at home.

So parents are expected to do far more with far less, with no support from family, community, or society.
Well, he hadn't shared it yet, so technically he was allowed to download those papers. (And even if he did, it'd have been piracy, but that's an age-old discussion that I'm not going to hold again.)
I think that this article has too many anecdotal references to scams and profiteers but there isn't any sense of the statistics or scale. Without knowing if people are behaving worse on average in the crypto world or the fiat world, I don't find them very helpful.

My anecdotal experience has been really wonderful in crypto. I've become part of a really nice online community where people are eager to share ideas and help each other out. I've also found the crypto market to be far more approachable than traditional investments for myself. But who knows, maybe I just have been lucky?
They want data on Internet use (and specifically broadband Internet use) by county. That isn't a trivial ask.

You can get reasonable rates at a larger scale using survey approaches (like OxIS, the British survey series from the Oxford Internet Institute) but these aren't granular enough to compare small areas. Otherwise you're using some kind of proxy data.

Your approach has two issues. First, people without Internet access are not in the sampling frame at all, which is a critical problem if you're interested in network access. Secondly, the geolocation in step 3 is also not particularly reliable (mine tends to think I'm 100 miles away from where I am) so you'll get the same kinds of problems they found here in that the data look kinda plausible but aren't actually reliable enough to draw defensible conclusions from.
Portuguese is rooted in Latin so it uses the Latin alphabet, the parent was concerned about other alphabets.

Off course there are the accented characters but those are just transliterated to ASCII. Even when the language accepts unicode identifiers (like Python or Javascript) they are not transliterated to ASCII so "função" is not the same as "funcao". Everybody just sticks with ASCII for identifiers (occasionally people throw the Greek letter for pi or lambda in a formula but not on my watch).

The only thing more awful than these "Portunglish" codebases are Brazilian projects trying to stick with English names only. These are often full of misleading translations - for example using "Budget" instead of "Quote" because in Brazilian Portuguese the word "Orçamento" means both. Very confusing.
You realise this is just your instincts talking, not your rational brain. Why do you think the world needs another human being ? Is it just for your personal entertainment ? Do you think it’s ethical to create a conscious entity that will have to suffer through 80+ years on this planet for the sole purpose of satisfying your primitive reproduction instincts ?
Because statistically nobody transits through the US. Almost everyone ending up in the US is staying. A lengthy flight across the Atlantic/Pacific to then take another lengthy flight across the other ocean is just not something many people do.
In hindi, chai is written चाय - chaaya, but the final "a" is elided due to language rules. I wonder if it has anything to do with that.
Hmm, I'm not sure if I can follow your question, but I'm guessing that they're already planning to do what you want?
No! Why would you do something just because other people want you to do it, especially something that can't be undone like having a kid.

Misery loves company.

There's a discussion about the regret of having kids here:

> By the time you get off the plane in Africa you’re on the international pariah list and your @replies are full of people accusing you of throwing puppies out of moving cars for profit.

Ok, Joel obviously isn’t talking about puppies. What is he actually referring to? Anti-immigration comments? Casual suggestions the wage gap is a myth?

The overt message he’s giving is “I am scared I might say the wrong thing and get hurt.” But the subtext is: “I think the people currently being removed from their jobs deserve to stay in them.”

But he doesn’t have the guts to say which people deserve their jobs.

The result of that is he signals support for all of them, from Eich to Weinstein.

I feel like we need to be more surgical than that in 2018. Not just throw our voices in with movements that are too big to be bound by any kind of principle.
What exactly do you mean by 'artificially low'? All short term rates are just a function of central bank policy. The bank will raise or lower rates in an attempt to control inflation (and any other mandate). 'Abnormal' I'd grant you, but not artificial.
JPMorgan was only involved because they were paid $230k to step up as administrator of the estate, so this malevolent third-party fiduciary situation could have only happened to a family with enough assets for that steep administrative fee to make any sense.

I've no idea what probate/intestate law in Texas looks like, but one party (probably the wife) should have had priority to be the executrix. The children could have fought her appointment, insisted on court supervision of her actions, sued the estate to contest disbursals, etc. The wife could have similarly spent money to defend herself, pay herself an outrageous salary, etc. But she would have been much less brazen and the end result would have just been the all-too-common story about one member of a family screwing over the others.
> Money supply is not quoted in terms of trade, it exists purely outside of market behavior

FX traders absolutely look at money supply, amongst other things, re-priced into hard currency when considering e.g. foreign-currency debt burdens; local rates, inflation and borrowing conditions; and the monetary policy relative to the internal and export-oriented economy. It's a specialist metric, though.
That has nothing to do with cost to earth. We just export our pollution to seas and china.

If all countries start living like americans we'd need 5 times the surfaces area of earth.

I am late for the discussion, but maybe I could shine something on this whole discussion.

Having a kid is the most hard/stressing/demanding thing if you are doing the best and the right thing.

Kids don't choose when or what disease they get. Have you a meeting in the morning? That's sucks you are on ER at 5:00 am since 2:00 full of vomit.

Want to move to Nepal and be a monk for one year? Your kid will not wait.

A lot of people outsource or do different decisions, but EACH decision has a price. You pay now or in the future with interest.

Yesterday was my kid first day after vacations. He was throwing a fit. But yesterday was different was not a common fit. So I asked what the problem was? Are the schools? Teachers? Friends? No. he said:

I want to be with you daddy.

That got me, real hard. I started to cry, and he hugged me. I want to be with him all the time. But that is not life about. He is growing. Soon will be a teen and later married and have kids. And I will be left missing him. But still, this is marvelous.

Having kids hurts and it is not for everyone. But I will do everything again 1000x times.

Steam, as with most institutions that "accept" Bitcoin, never actually handles Bitcoin themselves. They use a financial services provider who accepts Bitcoin and gives them USD and takes a cut of the transaction for themselves. Dealing with that short-term volatility is one of the things that fee pays for.

Is it ridiculous that the price can fluctuate enough in 60 minutes to significantly affect a transaction? Obviously.
> You would need to review everything you've done online (the last few years at least but possibly ever) and compare it to the laws of the country you are entering.

Yes, that's what you must do any time you enter a country. Any country is free to arrest you for past violations of its laws when it has the physical ability to do so. Once you're physically present in a country, it no longer needs to demand your extradition: you've extradited yourself.

It is great to see some in the new tech age stayin and having kids in the city. If you saw a baby stroller 10+ years ago, there would have been a dog in it.
> I wish more Americans traveled overseas because if they experienced the difference between how we treat people vs how others do, they'd be properly outraged.

Twelve years or so ago I was having serious doubts they were going to let me leave Amsterdam to travel back to the US (on a one way ticket) because I had a Iraqi customs stamp in my passport, they were quite concerned and inquisitive about it.

Previously on the same trip I was searched pretty thoroughly on the train because I just happened to be traveling between countries on the same day as the 2005 London bombings. I guess they figured anyone traveling around Eastern Europe with a ukulele probably isn't too much of a threat so they didn't hassle me too much.

That second one kind of surprised me because I thought they just let you travel within the eurozone without problem.
