Would it be possible to crowdfund that role? People on youtube apparently earn a living by making videos in which they film themselves watching other youtube videos, so it ought to be possible :)
I have a bamboo cutting board that I've been using for about 10 years and it's still as good as new. Perhaps it was treated specially, because I've never done anything special to care for it (and had no idea that might be necessary).

I also have some bamboo spoons and spatulas that get used almost daily and they have lasted for many years as well. I wash them in the dishwasher, which perhaps gives them the level of moisture needed to stay good.
While I agree with the comment saying the only thing you can do with a two year old is prevent them from accessing it, your 2 year olds reasoning also demonstrates why spanking them does not work reliably in that kind of instance either.

Kids that age are in some respect smarter than we often think, but in other respects they're totally helpless.

So he's understood that the oven is hot, but not that it being hot means he will hurt himself if touching it and that as a consequence he shouldn't. That's reasonable for him. He needs to make several other connections to determine it's bad: Many other things are hot, but not hot enough to be dangerous. He needs to also realise that too hot equals pain, and this means realising that touching the plate equals pain, not just hot. That's a step or two two long from starting premise to consequence for a 2 year old.

You'll see the same with kids that refuse to dress up when going out when it is cold out. It's hot inside. They've been told it's cold outside. But they also need to realise that this means they will be cold if they go out without dressing up even if it's hot inside.

Sometimes what works with very young children is to help them connect those dots. With my son I'd open the door, step out, so he can feel he's cold, and then tell him we needed to put warm clothes on to stay warm. Or you can be explicit in explanation: "we need to put clothes on so we stay warm when we go out" instead of "we need to put clothes on because it's cold outside".

For things that can be painful, try expressing that: that the oven will hurt. That it is hot, that's a separate thing (for now).

With a two year old you're not getting away from trying to prevent access, but my son certainly responded to just having the causal chains from "do things adults consider dangerous" to "will hurt" shorter.

Another strategy that keeps giving even now that he's 9, is to give constrained choices, and make him decide or decide what he thinks the right answer is: "Do you think the hot oven will hurt a lot or lots and lots?" (or when facing a 9yo that wants to decide everything: "do you want healthy dinner A or [marginally more popular] healthy dinner B?" as opposed to "what do you want for dinner?"). Choosing a specific framing is a scarily effective way of guiding them to where you want them to be (and it works scarily well on adults too; we're not nearly as much smarter than a toddler as we'd like to think).

I certainly can't say if the above works for you, but it's worth a try.
I hate to jump into this topic and I'll try not to take sides but...

There is actually pretty strong evidence that is actually was to put people of color in jail (at least initially).

At the very least enough plausible evidence to show that throwing around "bs" like that might be misguided.

> "The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying?

I'd expect that class of bug is easy enough to triage ... what's the problem?
That's a very bad title on a very interesting list. Wikileaks did some great work over the years, and I hope they can continue.
I guess he meant "commercial English", i.e., encompassing large markets. For instance, I love Iron Maiden, but they sound very North-American. Then, in interviews, I find really hard to understand what they're saying.
The biggest difficulty with marijuana is that we don't really know what's in it. For years we only thought that THC is the active ingredient, and then in the last decade we've found out that CBD is also an active ingredient. We discus "cannaboids," but we (the lay people) don't really know what they are, nor are they labeled.

(In CA, when I go to the pot shop, TCH and CBD percentages are labeled, and strain is sometimes labeled, but nothing else is.)

The thing that a lot of non-marijuana consumers don't realize is that the effects vary considerably from strain to strain. (It would be as if different brands of beer had different kinds of buzzes.) This most likely is because the cannaboids vary as from strain to strain, but we don't know what they are, and don't label them. The best we can do is try to stick with known strains that we like.

To be quite honest, (and to keep with the point of the article,) some strains are like coffee. They just make me feel a little different. Other strains really do put weird thoughts and paranoia into my head. Some strains make me very introverted. Could long-term heavy use of strains with certain cannaboids trigger behavior similar to mental illness? We don't even know what the cannaboids are to study!
With the home ownership rate in the UK at 63.5%.

Combined with only 19% of the population (never mind more stock value than their primary residence value) owning any stock, stock ownership among the general population there is not like the US.

That basically means some majority of people there at least are using real estate as their primary store of wealth.

> Perhaps they're just not trying to see only the drawbacks and ignore successful non-members in Europe like Switzerland and Norway.

Norway and Switzerland are subject to almost all the EU regulations but unlike the UK have no say, much less veto, in the making or enforcement of those rules. Is that situation really what Brexiteers wanted?
Why the great disparity in job satisfaction between UK and US lawyers? 64% of UK lawyers are satisfied compared to (unequal measures, yeah) Associate Attorneys who were at a 2.89 "Bliss Score" the unhappiest profession (https://www.forbes.com/pictures/efkk45ehffl/no-1-unhappiest-...)

As for myself I am generally unhappy. I left the law and back to engineering which I love, I'm married but spend too little time with my wife because we're in different cities and live apart most of the time, I'm sad most of the time when I'm not working, I don't have any life battering chronic diseases, I take home enough money that I'm not indebted other than for my house and FFS am I grateful for that. So no, I'm not happy, but I've stopped expecting happiness so there is some satisfaction in not experiencing repeated disappointment.
And sometimes the social norm's arent helpful. In the article, he makes it clear he rejects each norm mentioned specifically because he has reflected on it and found it non helpful, and at least slightly harmful (if only to individual autonomy and happyness). Saying norm's can help is a platitude, but when considered individually you might find most are only actually more beneficial then harmful very situationally.
And London was a major financial centre well before the creation of the EU.

> I was perscribed Lorazepam in case of future attacks,but the potential side effects were terrifying (you may just suddenly die in certain circumstances)

Saying that a therapeutic doze of lorazepam is going to make you "suddenly die", is a great exaggeration. Panic attacks are best fixed with a combination of drugs and CBT. So maybe try adding CBT to your drugs to wean off of it.
What was your expectation? That they would find a bug and submit/fix it to Debian and then walk through the contribution process so it makes it into the next stable Debian release?
I'd have to disagree with the transitions from C++ to python or java and bash.

The complication is C++ specific and moving to java, bash or python is simply removing that complexity. Hence moving to C++ is easier then moving from python or another similar language because in most cases you would be adding complexity.

OCaml and Erlang are too different for me to comment about a transition in the functional direction.
High on fat, low on evidence: the problem with the keto diet
It is significant because shifting the money entails the eventual shifting of the revenue associated with the money. A large portion of revenue for capital is through traditional means such as interest rate arbitrage (difference between lending and borrowing rates) and services. It's only a matter of time before the services start moving to the continent.
Also, most streets and parking lots in urban settings are already by law required to be electrified for minimum lighting requirements and/or parking meters. Extending the electrification requirements to include car charging seems only a matter of time. (Potentially especially in the cases where it makes sense to push for Smart Grids at the same regulative time.)

Some companies have already built interesting versions of street lamps and parking meters that double as car chargers (including at least one London company that was working to make sure that they could meet historic preservation standards of the street lamp design in London's core).

Road-embeddable induction chargers could even be an option soon in urban environments (particularly large parking lots for instance) where there isn't such existing "furniture" to take advantage of.
Your seriously misunderstand the banking sector's very real impacts on everyday lives.

Having more assets under management is very impactful because money doesn't just sit in a bank -- it is used again for other things. Thus, there would be less money for loans and other investments.

If you're trying to get a mortgage or start a business, that's very impactful.

If you are a construction worker and financing for new commercial real estate is down, that's impactful.

If you're a factory worker and the factory can't get access to capital to launch a new product line.

All very real impacts.

Perhaps. Presenting overly complex & technical information happens a lot, but I think there are other explanations. Wanting to impress one's peers, for example. After all, the last 10% technical detail is often where one spent 90% of the time, and people have a tendency to want to tell that part of the story, whether or not it matters to the audience (and it may or may not, depending on the context).
I'm with you. It would have to be well-run and not toxic, which is not the default in open-source, sadly. Perhaps I'm thinking about the world the way I want it to be, rather than the way it is.
The point of Core is that it can and may evolve faster. If you don't want that, use the full Framework.
I am assuming in a hypothetical battery swap world batteries would be rigorously tested before replacement. How hard do you think it would be (sincerely)? For the gasoline analogy, there are lots of ways to achieve an octane rating but I suspect most people only use the "do I hear engine knock" test. Similarly, I would be fine of a guarantee of if I have 300 mi of electric range (whether it's 300, 310, or 320) under normal driving conditions for a battery swap, as a trade off for convenience.
I'm genuinely interested, could you expand a bit on what the downsides / upsides would be?
Mozilla Corp keep painting themselves as the only bearers of the Mozilla Manifesto values. But the reality is that MoCo has done so many missteps that they have lost all credibility there. You are still relying on the same and only end user product as in 2004 and drink the coolaid of Mitchell's talks twice a year at the all hands.

You are losing against chromium because gecko was never made a platform for others to use. There is not even a platform engineering group with its own VP since it got folded into Firefox when the engineering VP decided to cut the support for the only other gecko product, FirefoxOS. But hey, he's still on the payroll with an executive assistant making his haircut appointments, so all is fine!

The management is so risk adverse it's ridiculous given how much they have in the bank. The good news is that innovation on the web happens in other places now - just look at all dweb projects, another area that MoCo refused to staff at a decent level.
Great points. I agree with you on most counts except hufflepuffs are known to be loyal and I don't know if that's how I would characterize the middle stage employees. I'd say they are more like muggles. Quietly do what's told, no more no less.
The question is why dont kernel methods (with appropriate smoothness inducing kernels) and relatedly Gaussian processes do as well. I am being deliberately presumptuous, it is not a proven result that RKHS based methods would be dominated by DNNs. These two approches, RKHS and DNNs arent that fundamentally different, and we have known that even before the recent explosion of interest in DNNs. That infinite DNNs converge to Gaussian processes is an old result.

Of course there are differences, once you choose a kernel the feature map is set in stone, on the otherhand DNNs can search over the space of feature maps. It is likely that the function that a DNN converged to was already in the Hilbert space associated with the kernel, but that does not mean one would converge to it in a finite amount of training data.

Once one goes to infinite dimensions all separable Hilbert spaces are the same (up to isomorphisms) but with finite data it matters what basis / kernel one chooses.

>Wouldn't you consider beating an addiction to actually being able to take one or two drinks and leaving it at there?

Sure.

>In other words, if you're constantly counting the days without a drink and struggle with yourself to not drink, are you really "cured" from the addiction?

This is an entirely different statement from your first point and a mischaracterization of recovery.
I think we might already be in that future with electrics. Just look at most tram and subway systems in major cities, you will usually find a mix of rolling stock with some produced as far back as 60s or 70s and still in daily service. The equivalent ICE bus has long since been scrapped.

Not necessarily by design, it's simply inherent to electric drive, you have much less "metal grinding against lubricated metal with a controlled wear rate" situations that seems to doom ICEs and the associated transmissions on the long run.
Overall such statement leaves bad taste. But pressure to be first or negligence makes media publish press releases without looking at them. Maybe starting it this way would make someone think about its content and not just put on their website?
I think it's common for people, especially the overly-rational, to conflate correctness with rationality. Yes, with hindsight it can be seen that the actions she initially took were incorrect. But they seemed perfectly rational approaches at the time.

If you see your child doing something anti-social, then it's logical to try to correct it because if you don't, it will cause problems for them down the road. In fact, it would have been irrational to not do anything about it.

It was only when the logical brain got overridden by maternal instinct that she could choose an approach that led eventually to a resolution.

The logical brain demands control over the situation. If she could have surrendered control earlier, perhaps even in the first few times she witnessed it, then she could have taken a less-combative approach.
You beat me to the quote! Thanks for contributing. Let's also not forget the name itself "marijuana" was chosen to stoke racist fears of Mexicans and African Americans.
“Marry, and you will regret it; don’t marry, you will also regret it; marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it… Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.”
― Søren Kierkegaard
I hate this argument with a passion. Yes, things will continue to "work". That's an incredibly low bar, though. It's quite possible that if the worst happens, there will be a substantial number of deaths and long-term, lingering economic damage. It could potentially take decades to recover economically, and have relatively little if any upside.

I think you'll want to first choose your principles and set some priorities, and only then choose your best path.

At age 61, I'm nearing the end of my professional journey. Initially, I chose jobs that solved "sweet" technical problems, often AI-related or computationally hard, on behalf of the military or intelligence agencies. In time, I began to question the value of those missions and left to seek a legacy involving less "collateral damage".

After a stint in academia (which I eventually felt was too tangential to real world concerns to make a real difference), I moved into healthcare. After 13 years, I'm still involved in AI (image analysis), but here it's on behalf of making drugs that treat diseases that are largely incurable: cancer, alzheimer's and ALS, HIV vaccines, etc.

Yes, the short term economic priorities of large corporations are sometimes troubling. But my role isn't to maximize profits; it's to enable scientific breakthroughs that can make lives better and longer. And I can live with that. Likewise, I think you'll need to decide these things for yourself.
I believe that the main objections to this approach are subconscious and unstated. Or perhaps people just feel silly saying "That isn't fancy enough!" and "But but but you have to use a computer to do everything!"
That kinda a broad question.

Easy - you can create a live-coding IDE in 20 lines or so, Draw and View a pretty capable for interactive Processing-like demos, bottlenecks can be rewritten in R/S.

Hard - hit the academical papers and define what can be considered a "child-safe programming environment". Then implement a separate toolchain for that.

Sure, other languages are also hard to fully grok, and there are . But the consequences of not knowing (or misunderstanding) something in say Python is typically way less serious than in C++.
This is not all due to language design though, C++ tends to be used in some domains that are more tricky. Like where there are real-time constraints, on constrained devices and unattended operation.

The same claim can be made for Linux today. I have a large number of games I can play. I would still say it is a smaller market.
