Economics are an obvious factor in explaining the gap. So are cultural attitudes towards sex.

This New Yorker article from 2008 digs into the political/cultural factors behind it:

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/11/03/red-sex-blue-s...

Some of these differences in sexual behavior come down to class and education. Regnerus and Carbone and Cahn all see a new and distinct “middle-class morality” taking shape among economically and socially advantaged families who are not social conservatives. In Regnerus’s survey, the teen-agers who espouse this new morality are tolerant of premarital sex (and of contraception and abortion) but are themselves cautious about pursuing it. Regnerus writes, “They are interested in remaining free from the burden of teenage pregnancy and the sorrows and embarrassments of sexually transmitted diseases. They perceive a bright future for themselves, one with college, advanced degrees, a career, and a family. Simply put, too much seems at stake. Sexual intercourse is not worth the risks.” These are the kids who tend to score high on measures of “strategic orientation”—how analytical, methodical, and fact-seeking they are when making decisions. Because these teen-agers see abstinence as unrealistic, they are not opposed in principle to sex before marriage—just careful about it. Accordingly, they might delay intercourse in favor of oral sex, not because they cherish the idea of remaining “technical virgins” but because they assess it as a safer option.
Wow, I forgot I even knew about these companies. The last time I deployed a Sangoma box was in 1998... interesting they still exist.
FDWs can be incredibly useful in the case of needing database-level, low-latency access to a reasonably small amount of data managed on another server, and you don't want or cannot spend the time to write "proper" ETL code.

> I think the US desperately needs a "mommy track" for college that encourages women with young kids to go to school part-time and take 6 to 8 years to complete their degree. I think this would solve a lot of problems.

I'm actually surprised this isn't a thing already - my university certainly allowed part-time students who could still work towards a degree.

That being said, I think financial aid was also tied into being a full-time student so I immediately see the drawbacks of that.
Independently from the protocol you choose, the final result is that two (or more) devices will share the same private key for, e.g., your google account.

The problem that we need to solve securely, is that you as a user must be sure you know all devices with that private key, i.e. no one else can trigger a backup without you knowing that, even with a temporary access to the key.
Duplicating data isn't a bad thing.

Having a process that copies data into a reporting system solves the problem that otherwise it would be brittle (changes to either system might break things) and performance (any reporting queries affect realtime ones). Also, as it's decoupled, pulling in data from a 3rd system, e.g. CRM is possible.
"take C header files, figure out how the structs and functions compile, and generate the Rust / C# structs and fuction signatures. "

I have been playing with idea but often you also need to know what the function does with the pointer you pass in. Is it "in", "out" or whatever? With a lot of functions it would be doable but there are quite a few Win32 functions where it's really, really hard to do direct interop from C#. For these cases I find C+/CLI wrappers easier to deal with.
We are 7.6 billion people - who want a job, a house, a car, that eat meat, that want to travel the world. It's a zero sum game. I think it's a good thing that people have less babies.

I agree he deserves a higher payout, but it was on a segmented server that seems like it didn't have any customer data or other important data. If he were a real attacker, who knows where else he could've pivoted from this server (perhaps it wasn't quite as segmented as Facebook thought). But assuming it truly was pretty isolated, compromising it probably wouldn't have caused any damage.

Regardless, I feel like he deserves at least $15,000 for this, since it is full RCE.
I think you underestimate the link between physical and mental health. A fit body gives you a different baseline confidence. People react more positive to you. All social things considered, deep down we're all apes, so risk averse behavior might have something to do with a subliminal knowledge that you won't be able to defend yourself physically.

21 year old black mothers are likely to be unmarried without college degrees. 21 year old white mothers are likely to be married and are likely to hold or someday hold a college degree. They’re two entirely different populations and scenarios which get jumbled together when you average them.

Its like if you asked “what’s the average height of the most popular American Olympic athletes?” And found that the answer is 5 foot 6. Huh, they’re just like us? No, the gymnasts are 4 foot 8 and the swimmers are 6 foot 4.
Actually, Sun tried to license Smalltalk from Parcplace to use in embedded devices. At that time Parcplace was quite happy to charge $3000 per seat and didn't make a reasonable offer to Sun, so the Oak (now Java) project was started instead.

To make things even worse, Parcplace merged with their main rival, Digitalk, which offered Smalltalks for PCs and Macs for $100 to $500. They promptly replaced those with "enterprise" products costing way more making it impossible for new people to learn the language except with toy implementations like Little Smalltalk and GNU Smalltalk (which later evolved into a very decent implementation). For some reason the nice Smalltalk/X (commercial, but free for educational use) only had a small niche in Europe.

Note that Sun already had a Smalltalk in the form of Self, but Java was created anyway and Sun decided to use it exclusively killing Self and Tcl (which spun off instead of dieing). Part of the Self group merged with a group researching Smalltalk with optional type declarations (Dart is the latest version of that) to create the company Animorphics to develop StrongTalk.

Meanwhile, the Pep project at Sun demonstrated that you could run Java on the Self VM and greatly outperform all existing Java implementations (which were simple bytecode interpreters). The Animorphics team did the same and showed off Java on their VM, which caused Sun to buy them to make this demo into the HotSpot VM.
That doesn't exclude anything. Code can exist to pad resumes, feed paranoia, and bolster egos, manipulate people, or simply because someone can't admit their own mistakes. Anything can be a solution to a problem.
Its amazing to me that the distribution of first time motherhood age is bimodal. Are we really at the point where the college track is so far seperated? I would have expected enough in-between variations to keep the distribution single-humped.

This makes me worried about the implications. There ought to be middle tracks, to have kids and a career without putting one aside so long or to such a great extent.

I used to do this as a freelancer..

Some clients would insist on 45 or 60-day terms for my invoices, and as a self-employed individual (who at the time couldn't afford to be picky about my contracts), this really sucked.

Then someone suggested to me I put a clause offering a 2% discount if they paid within 15 days.

I definitely remember some of my clients taking me up on that and paying quickly, and it was a big help..
Babysitting app suffers ‘temporary data breach’ of 93,000 users
> A fine for speeding shouldn't cost several times the cost of an accident.

Why not, assuming that laws against speeding exist for public safety? (That's a dubious assumption, but if it's untrue then the speed limits need to be changed until it is.)

The cost of an accident can end up being lives, not just money, so it's hard to talk about "the cost of an accident." Even if you take a hard-nosed economically rational position and assign a monetary value to each life, the typical value is something like $10 million.

The point of these fines is to deter the behavior. If you put a cap on the amount of the fine, then sufficiently wealthy people are no longer deterred. You're essentially making it so that they can break this law with impunity because they're rich.

As for giving the police the wrong incentives, if they have any incentives related to the amount of money they bring in through fines, they already have the wrong incentives. Money from traffic tickets should never end up anywhere near the police budget.

One of the other interesting implications of this gap, which is mostly attributable to education, is that it leads to far more income inequality, which in turn leads to a host of nasty problems. For instance, as the divide between the haves and the have-nots becomes wider, it becomes harder to change one's station in life, leading to cycles of poverty.

In previous generations, people were more likely to marry outside of their education level and their family's economic class. So you might get a solidly middle-class, white-collar guy marrying a woman from a working-class family who never went to college, and they lived off one income.

But nowadays, it is much more likely that both spouses work, and also that people marry within their own class and education level. So, in general, you get either two low-income earners, two middle-income earners, or two high-income earners.

That greatly widens the household income gap, because now you're dealing with a combination of two incomes of roughly the same degree.

And so it becomes much harder for people to make changes to their economic status, because dual-income households are the norm, and if both spouses have to work, they have less time and opportunity, particularly at the lower end, to do things (like earn a degree) that might help them improve their economic status.
People are trying all kinds of innovations around streaming video apps, you are just aware of them. I am no expert, but off the top of my head I can think of people trying to create streaming subscription services for horror movies, for esports, for anime..

I think that’s mitigated by the physical button one has to press every time something is signed.

I’m not sure if the restriction to authentication has substantially simplified the WebAuthn API. The restriction is caused by a speed optimization, not design simplification. If the actual payload was sent to the authenticator, rather than just its hash due to bandwidth limitations, then it seems like the API could be used for signing messages, not just authentication. I do agree that the user interfaces surrounding the APIs will be simpler due to the focus on authentication.

>According to the bureau of justice statistics, 77% [2] of individuals are released from jail without financial condition.

Where are you getting 77%?

>Except for a decline to 57% in 2004, the percentage of
defendants released each year varied only slightly, from
62% to 64%. A more pronounced trend was observed in
the type of release used (figure 1). From 1990 to 1998, the
percentage of released defendants under financial conditions
rose from 24% to 36%, while non-financial releases
dropped from 40% to 28%.

The only mention of 77% I see just says total release - not release without financial condition.

>Defendants with a prior conviction (51%, not shown in
table) had a lower probability of being released than those
without a conviction (77%). This was true even if the prior
convictions were for misdemeanors only (63%). The effect
of a conviction record on release was more pronounced if
the defendant had at least one prior felony conviction
(46%).

>A bail of let's say $250 for a minor offense is, in effect, a bail of $25. Though again, in the vast majority of cases a minor offense generally means you're released for free.

Why say $250 when the median of released defendants was $5,000?

>The median bail amount for detained defendants ($15,000)
was 3 times that of released defendants ($5,000); the
mean amount was about 5 times higher ($58,400 versus
$11,600) (not shown in table). For all defendants with a bail
amount set, the median bail amount was $9,000 and the
mean was $35,800.

He deserves a higher payout, but 1) telling him to be unethical rather than reporting it responsibly and accepting a not-insignificant reward is stupid, and 2) there's almost no chance this would've garnered more than $5,000 on any black market. This is not something that would grant a cybercriminal access to sensitive or profitable information, unless Facebook is wrong in their assessment of how segmented the server is... and even then, much more work would be required for the attacker (more than an average vuln buyer is probably capable of).

If you paid for the 6P with a credit card, you might be able to go through them. Many credit card companies have lesser known perks, such as doubling the warranty period of products purchased with that card. If this is the case, you can contact your credit card company and go through them for a replacement/refund.
Perhaps not the $1500 itself, but small "wins" in life are a strong motivator.

While I share your sentiment to some extent, it's somewhat unrealistic to expect automobiles to be impervious to any size of hailstorm to the extent that they may be sold as-new on the showroom floor afterwards.

The main issue I believe is the use of relatively thin aluminum body panels to save weight. They could be made from composites like carbon fiber and wouldn't be as vulnerable to hail damage, but that's still a relatively exotic high-cost material.

Those utilities are heavily regulated. If they want to change their "terms of service" they have to go through a public commission.
Some financial aid is available for taking 2 classes, which is defined as part-time. And we could create financial aid specifically for a mommy track.

A bigger issue in my mind is the relatively high cost of classes. In places with low college costs for 2 year colleges, the tuition is potentially payable out of pocket.

It would be possible to design systems where we give more welfare benefits if you attend college. As education goes up, women have fewer kids.

I think encouraging welfare moms to get an education would help deter them from having large families, which is one if the things that compounds their problems and keeps them stuck in poverty.

I originally wanted three kids. I ultimately opted to stop at two. The fact that I am educated is likely a factor in that decision.
What did you use to scan facebook ?how did you land on that particular ip?
I think their point is that if you are referred by a site that is explicitly geared toward disabled candidates, any bias (implicit or explicit) will be magnified against those candidates. We can say ADA and EEOC all we want but at the end of the day the application process is not blind and implicit biases will creep in along with the occasional explicit bias. Why have an entire referral source that will amplify those issues?
I don't know what the standard way is to deploy django or .net apps, but nodejs apps are often packaged into a docker container, or cloud function, that run independently, not on any particular machine that you designate as 'production'. So 'system-wide' settings don't really exist because there is no concept of a machine.

With nodejs in a docker contianer for example you specify whether the server is designated for production or not during build time, not when you run it.
A few months into my stint at Google, my manager's manager arranged for a group tour of their datacenter in The Dalles. Walking around this temple of technology, thinking about all the people whose data these machines were managing, I had a horrible, stomach-turning feeling of wrongness slowly come over me. If this is the solution, I thought, we must be asking the wrong questions: the whole point of personal computing was to give people control over their own data, to eliminate the need for a technological priesthood like this one.

At my company (80,000+ people, bank), we have an app security department that handles everything. We give them a URL to our test environment for a dynamic scan and we give them the contents of our release branch for a static scan.

We are not allowed to release until the security scans are done and reviewed with the app security team. We release about once a quarter because of this. We do not practice continuous delivery and doing agile is difficult. There's no gatekeeper, story grooming, product owners, nada. You do what app security says when they say to do it, we work on their schedule.

As a tangent, working for a large company has shown me that agile doesn't really work at this scale. There's too many third parties that you have no control over. And the business is always trying to respond to the market, so projects are changing all the time and people are always shifting roles. I just come in, put my commits on the branch, and pray that the machine has my back.

That's still a bit confusing. Maybe I'm being dense, but one chart is for women with college degrees having babies and the other is for women without college degrees having babies.

So what impact would race have on when a woman with a college degree has a baby? (I mean, whether they are married or not is presumably irrelevant to the question of whether they have a college degree. So why would race not be irrelevant to that question?)

My question is the similar for the graph of married vs unmarried? If you are married and having a baby, (I mean, unless I'm missing something?), you are married and having a baby. Why would your race change that fact?
