The article doesn't address a trend that I've noticed: You can't connect two trees together in the woods and make them talk.

A lot of rural areas in the states owe their livelihoods, at least large swaths of it in the past, to other industries like oil or agriculture or the like. They are very "stuck in their ways", as the colloquialism goes, and seem loathed to adapt to the times - for varying and differing reasons.

Depending on the typical political demographics of an area, this will also lend to whether or not there's public services available to incentivise people to move and/or live there - such a bus or train systems. (This also disincentivises the poor but that's a different soapbox for another day.)

Large cities, in their parts, offer public services that rural areas (in the states) simply do not - the availability and viability of employment removed. If I were paying off a student loan debt, of course the higher wage[s] with the public services incentives are going to be more appealing. I don't have to own a car to get to work? Great! That's far less overhead that I have to deal with and allows more - theoretical - buffer cushion of assets to pay-off my loan[s] and/or live a comfortable life.

This, of course, is discounting the simple fact that college loans have, themselves, grown disproportionately larger (compared to previous generations') and this is in large part due to the fact that universities can keep increasing the costs, indefinitely, because a college degree is no longer a commodity but a necessity for a lot of positions (experience can trump a degree in our field but this trend is decreasing). Not only this but because the loans are guaranteed by the government, the universities are getting paid - no matter what. I would expect, in the next 10 years, for people to start hitting $1M for their overall loans, simply because it's a choice between two perceived "evils": Debt and a "guaranteed future" or no debt and a perceived endless cycle of poverty.

(Yes, I'm aware of trade skills and I'm not arguing for or against them, here, just noting that they are, for a large part, ignored in overall society.)

I don't an answer to the problem but I can tell you that it's not a simple as student loan debt, when it comes to brain drain of rural areas. There are many other factors at play, the least of which (for our field), is that you can't work somewhere where the jobs simply do not exist. Someone would say "then make the jobs" but it is nowhere near that simple; especially, in rural America, where the proliferation of technology is still a remote possibility. For example, there are states that are so invested in other industries that they depend on the IX of other states (e.g.: Louisiana routing through SN) because they refuse to invest in building in the infrastructure in their own states. That's a reality that will, seemingly, never be addressed because it's the status quo.

If you mean financial security, I think most Americans think you will work harder without financial security. It's just not a thing that most americans (at least once you factor in our privileging of rural votes) want our government to facilitate.

I mean, I personally think education is a great investment opportunity for the government; it's like those schools that give you an education and then take a bit of your income for a while, right? it seems like good free education would more than pay for itself.

But most people (or, at least most voting power) seem to disagree with me.

Thankfully nobody is using PEAR anymore. Using composer doesn't solve the problem of blinedly pulling internet dependencies, though (as others pointed out).

Well, to start, as late as 1993, 1994, Apple was either the #1 or #2 computer seller. It was far from struggling until around the time of Windows 95.
Agreed. I suspect a more useful distinction would be "...can't match the performance of languages that facilitate stack allocation" - the main advantage comes from locality of reference rather than tighter heap management. There's a separate point that could be made about the memory headroom needed for GC to work well, but (sadly) I don't think many people think of memory-efficiency as a performance metric these days.

I'm not sure about your

> So if you're using a GC you probably program in a different way, eg using more shared immutable structures

This is definitely not the case for mainstream GC languages like Java, which have truly awful support for immutability, to the point of having to write a separate type if you want it.

Stealing is wrong, but there are products where, if someone were to steal them in small amounts, I'm kinda okay with it.

I have no experience with pads and tampons and I don't know if they belong in this category, but when I buy bread, I leave it in my bike while I buy other groceries. If someone were to steal my bread (hasn't happened yet), I'd assume they probably need it more than I do.
> First, toilet paper is taxed at the same rates pads and tampons are.

In Germany they aren't. Tampons are "luxury articles" here, which was questioned a lot in the past, yet nothing happened.

> Some 23% of girls drop out of school upon reaching puberty, humiliated by their peers and unable to access clean, private toilets.

What I find disturbing is that school peers humiliate each other over menstruation. Nearly all girls get it during puberty, so why are they shaming each other? And for the boys who shame their classmates, why aren't their teachers holding them accountable?!
1. I don't know if you live in India or the US or somewhere else, but that's awesome. You however don't know where I live so please stop correcting me on 'facts' that aren't relevant worldwide. They're classed as 'luxury goods' in the UK: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42013239

2. People steal toilet paper all the time. It's not considered a big deal, probably because every loo has toilet paper - I'm sure you see the point here. If someone steals it from a cafe for their house (which happens, if you've worked in the service industry) nobody really cares.

I'm using hearing aids for almost 8 years now. Without them I can't interact with people without shouting or repeatedly asking them to repeat what they have said. I always have to take them out if I want to listen to music, when it rains very heavy, have to take shower or want to wear some headphones.

Initially it was very hard, but after a while you create habits around them and they become very natural. But still, even with a hearing aid, dont' forget that it doesn't improve your hearing, it just normalizes to a level where you can hear normal. In fact, because you're now running all the sound through a filter, a lot of frequencies get lost (in addition to the ones you're not able to hear anymore).

Anyway, I agree that nobody talks about the pricing. A good pair (say Oticon OPN 1) would cost me minimum $6.5K. Looking forward to see how Bose disrupts the whole industry with their entry level "hearphones".
Even in that case, what server? The server belonging to the url in the address bar? Or the one hosting that facebook icon? Or the one collecting the client-side metrics/analytics for the developers? Or the many serving you ads on that page?
BuzzFeed was explicit when they published the dossier that it was raw and uncorroborated. They didn't claims its contents to be true, or base other assertions on it. They made the raw document itself available for public download.

At the time, the dossier was disseminating through government and media circles, and being referred to in a lot of news and commentary, but the public had no access to it. The point of making the document available was to pull the curtain on that kind of NY/DC politics/media insiderism.

In most of Europe, software engineers are paid the same as other highly skilled engineers. And Europe has plenty of engineering talent. What it doesn't have, though, is people willing to take and fund bold projects. But building the safest cars in the world[1] is not considered bold at Volvo. That's how they differentiate themselves in the crowded premium car market from Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW.

> You are being charged for a printed version of magazine and advertiser pays for having an ad in a said version.

I do get that, but this is not a printed magazine. This is the web, and I think I generally agree, especially with content like this, if I'm going to pay for something, I don't want ads there.

Generally the web is free because of ads, and if I pay for something then I'm paying because there's not going to be ads, and especially not going to be trackers like most media sites pile on.
Depends if you include the current mob of professional bloggers in there, because they sure outnumber the real journalists. They're really just word laborers, as they constantly have to produce fresh content to draw in new clicks. Unlike real knowledge work, it's a blue collar job now, just one that requires literacy.

Passion is also a poor substitute for knowledge. Gell-Mann Amnesia is still as true as ever too. The entire profession has an undeserved reputation of accuracy and impartiality, and now they're eagerly self-destructing what remains of it.

Most of all, they always stay within the same broad lines. As I saw someone observe recently... If the French gilets jaunes were happening in a South American country, would the coverage be remotely the same? When it comes time to beat the American war drum, will the result be any different from the last couple of times?

The envy of tech, and the associated aspersions are also highly misplaced. Nobody forced the press to embed five dozen trackers on every page and chase clickbait with informational junkfood. Nobody forced them to give up their autonomy to social media, instead of building their own infrastructure. The people whose self image put them several rungs above those icky nerds are still inappropriately bitter about that inversion of status, for sure.

To me, the model for 21st century journalism seems obvious: wikipedia, except not written by the obsessed and the mentally ill. Give me an ever-updating impartial dossier on each major topic and conflict, sorting the wheat from the chaff, and providing a timeline of key events with deeper elaborations one click away.

If the profession matched its self image, they'd have succeeded at doing something like that, instead of racing buzzfeed to the bottom.

Personally I'm really waiting for the rest of that 85% to go.
George Borjas has pointed out that:

Wage trends over the past half-century suggest that a 10 percent increase in the number of workers with a particular set of skills probably lowers the wage of that group by at least 3 percent.

Even after the economy has fully adjusted, those skill groups that received the most immigrants will still offer lower pay relative to those that received fewer immigrants.

I also live in a US state where snow is the norm for that amount of time. I would argue "comfortable" is not safe and also, ultimately, not Level 5. There are some situations that are just not passable while maintaining safety. That's the reality and you are making risk choices that are subjective which cannot be understood by the AV. But we shouldn't assume because there will always be situations where a car will refuse to drive because of conditions that it's all for nothing.

I agree that I think it'll get there. But, like air travel there are limits and limits ground flights. When we drive a car we don't have a rigid pre-drive checklist, people in ATC watching out for weather and other aircraft, and then a company behind the scenes making the call on risk of life, money and brand reputation. Sure, weather is probably the hardest to deal with in knowing ahead of time if the trip can be completed with 100% success rate. I think the bigger problem is that as cars start to drive themselves, for people with little drive time throwing those people in the mix to take over will result in a very bad outcome. I have over 20 years of driving in ice and snow and still run across situations that are challenging or catch me off guard. But... What about that 17 year old who's car just told them to take over and they've never had to deal with driving in a storm ever? As we stop the task we lose the skill. Ultimately I feel that's the bigger issue holding things back until the manufacturers can get to Level 5.

I don't think they tripped over the complexity here, they tripped over their hubris.

They thought their client's fame was enough to make a case, and didn't put in the leg work to defend it. As I've said a couple of times now it's the law (for every EUTM holder) that you have to absolutely defend your eligibility. As it should be. TMs are a restriction on other people's freedoms.

Should also point out that this was a contestable decision. They (or, more likely, their successors) can probably prove everything that needs to be proven And using better sources than Wikipedia. They'll earn back their mark registration.

There certainly are laws that are protectionist, and have been written with American companies in mind, not because those companies are American, but because those companies are exploiting EU citizens in [what they feel to be] unfair ways. Monopolies, data sharing, etc. The fines and lawsuits that come off the back of these aren't on-the-spot instances either. The laws are written in an open process. They're debated for years. These companies get warnings. And GDPR lawsuits affect organisations on both sides of the pond.

> the causal pathway

The article very clearly distinguishes between the cause and a cause. "Alzheimer’s is a complex disorder, not a one stop shop" and so on.

> best explained by correlation than causation

They did more than that. They also found gingipains in the brains of patients. Those had to come specifically from P.gingivalis infection, not the other factors you mention. They identified a plausible causal pathway involving tau and amyloid beta, and they induced their production by introducing P.gingivalis in mice. That's a lot more than merely equating correlation with causation.

Skepticism is good. Ignoring what has been presented is not skepticism, and neither is jumping from correlation to non-causation. That's just contrarianism.
LILY AND JIM – By DON HERTZFELDT [video]
I was also lucky enough to graduate with no debt in the early 90s. It has made all the difference in my financial life, and has allowed me to avoid other kinds of debt.

In my case, graduating without debt was mostly due to the low tuition of New York state (SUNY) schools in the 80s. My tuition was $675/semester, and the minimum wage at the time was $3.35. That means in roughly 10 40 hour weeks over the summer, I could save enough for the year's tuition. Combine that with a 12hr/week job working in the computer labs and sysadmin'ing, and I could pay for my share of the rent & my car.

People talk about free tuition. But maybe we just need to get back to the middle ground of affordable tuition as measured by the minimum wage. Eg, put a cap on tuition so that it can't be more than X hours of work at a state's minimum wage.
Religion had nothing to do with it. Egomaniacs and sociopaths did, in the name of religion.
The point is that that market is tiny compared to the people that buy iPhones. I also think Apple is doing good things on turning the iPad into a general purpose computing device. For my use cases (ssh somewhere to do work), it is way easier to manage than a laptop, and smaller. I imagine that as the product improves more people are going to make the jump, leaving MacOS in a weird place. (I switched from a Surface Pro 4 to an iPad Pro as my "laptop" and I am much happier. I still use a Windows workstation for everything that can't be done by ssh-ing to a Linux box, though, and of course prefer dual monitors and a mouse when I'm not travelling.)

Okay. I am not. We could have a national referendum, "are you okay with people stealing your stuff?". Let's see what happens.

It's understandable that there is a lot of attention on those affected by the shutdown, but what about all those who have lost their livelihoods due to illegal immigration?

ofc it's healthy

there's no extensive evidence that it's not healthy, and by default everything is 'healthy', if the kid is happy, along with the various other metrics, then they are healthy

games can be a toy, but most video games are not toys, and almost all are designed to be competitive. toys are not competitive things

play is not about it being healthy or not, it's about if play is desirable or not

--

as 'kirion25' wonders in their comment, the problem is that almost nobody knows anything about play

for example one person mentions activities/functions that is leisure, and not everything within leisure is play (play is a subset of leisure)

nobody knows if there's any decline or incline in play, where's the extensive evidence that of play's claimed decline?

Simpler, yes, but so is the cosmic-ray theory. Do you have any actual evidence? The causal relationship seems even less established than that in the OP.

Also, did you miss the distinction between a cause and the cause? It's not a zero-sum game.
‍ TinyGigs started as a curated community of women makers (designers, developers, marketers, etc) looking to find exciting new projects to work on, in their spare time or even full time.
Based on the feedback received, and also since there doesn't seem to be an open job board focused on women makers the idea for a simple job board to help women everywhere seems pretty interesting and with potential.

Also, the Tiny Gigs job board can be a way to for companies that may feel like there's a gender gap in their teams by having the possibility to reach out to a talented pool of women in tech, design, marketing and more.
