I guess that depends upon what our definition of "simple" is. If we have content that we are presenting to the user, in my eyes, it can be curated somehow (like a recommender system) or it could be uncurated (random selection would fall in this category).

For companies that are trying to sell a product or are trying to present users with content relevant to them, that would seem to call for some kind of content curation.

I think we would be surprised if we knew how many online retailers still do recommendations based solely on your buying history (and also, perhaps, the buying history of others who have bought items similar to you). I think to improve these recommendation engines, we should improve the underlying algorithms.

To improve said algorithms, I think graph databases like Neo4j have an important role to play as they are built for this sort of thing. To present better and more relevant content, we'd need two primary things - more information about the user in question (and I'm all for transparency in both collecting this data and informing the user how it will be utilized) and better algorithms to leverage that information. With the response times of a queried result set originating from multiple levels of depth-traversal in a graph database compared to the response time of a similar query in a traditional RDBMS, I'd say that graph databases are an important and vital component to making this kind of thing better for everyone.
Sure. Here’s an example.

ZFC is incomplete. There are many celebrated results that are independent of ZFC (continuum hypothesis, large cardinals (a lot aren't even known to be consistent with ZFC), Suslin's Hypothesis, etc. However, by Godel we know this is true for any reasonable foundation of mathematics (i.e. anything capable of expressing the usual version of arithmetic). So it is not something that particularly troubles either logicians or other mathematicians.

Godel's results also show that we cannot use ZFC to prove that ZFC is consistent. However, it is strongly suspected that ZFC is consistent.

In practice, very few of the results independent of ZFC affect day to day mathematical work unless you're a logician or set theorist (which honestly start to blend into each other).
JSON is serviceable as an intermediate format, machine-generated and machine-consumed.

It is outright bad as a human-operated format. It explicitly lacks comments, it does not allow trailing commas, it lacks namespaces, to name a few pain points.

YAML is much more human-friendly, with all its problems.
Active shooter drills aren't about preventing child gun homicides. They're about active shooter situations inside schools, which are actual events that have happened.

You may debate how useful they are, or if the frequency of school shootings is sufficient to justify them, but I will point out that the number of times I have had to evacuate a school (admittedly, due to a bomb threat) is equal to the number of times we had to "assume the position" for a tornado threat (exactly once).

Of course this happens, but let me return to my point: it's perfectly normal to see a 5-year-old in the park on their own (here in Japan). In the U.S., the parent would be arrested.

Don't try to convince me that those are the same, they clearly are not. Pressure on kids, etc. varies by social strata, city/country, etc. But the degree to which it has been institutionalized, accepted, etc in North America is very different, and I would argue pathological.

There are strong aesthetic benefits of never letting sunlight impinge upon your skin.

Women used to carefully cover exposed skin when outdoors and their skin would remain smooth and youthful into their 50s.
I am not agreeing or disagreeing with the conclusions, but I find the statistics as used in the article to be weak. They had a whole article to convince me and I still don't have confidence in whether there is a problem or not. A few immediate thoughts:

Comparing the top 350 firms in 1978 and 2019 is not a fair comparison. There are more and bigger firms today. It is like comparing the ten fastest sprinters at a school of 10,000 and a school of 100. No one will be surprised to find that a bigger pool produces bigger numbers.

Average is not a statistically robust metric. A couple of crazy outliers could skew the statistic dramatically, and may not actually give us a clear idea of the typical case.

It is not clear exactly what metric the author uses for "reasonableness" of CEO compensation. Is it reasonable for the compensation to be proportional to the size of the organization? Was the 30-1 ratio reasonable to begin with? Should everybody have exactly the same salary? Without some kind of standard or reasoning here, you can't claim that any salary is too high.

There are many ways they could rehash their data in a way that I would find more convincing, and it makes me suspicious that I am being fed an inflated story. I would like to see what the median salary-to-market-cap ratio of CEOs in the largest %5 of companies is. Maybe a hard statistic to measure, but we could get a whole lot closer.

Disclaimer: I have almost no background knowledge of CEO compensation or wealth inequality, this may indeed be a serious issue that needs to be addressed. However, as a casual observer I find this article unconvincing.

We have friends who get calls from "concerned neighbors" because their child is a block away playing at a park with no adult supervision. Any wanker can call cps and make your life miserable, and the wealthier the area, the more cps tends to meddle. Montgomery county mentioned in the sibling comment is one of the most well-to-do counties in the country and also a place I would not ever consider raising a child in due to cps actions there.
Great, and now your kid isn't going to be as well versed as their peers in the technology that drives literally everything. They'll be left behind as the kids who were allowed to grow/learn using modern tools fly past them.

You can't win. Everyone damages their children, stop pretending like you're some kind of exception.

Additionally, this nostalgic "My childhood was great these kids don't get what I had" is bullshit. The options available to children today to grow, explore, learn and interact with others has exploded. We did "ruin" your childhood, and made it immensely better.

Trying to give your child the childhood you had is abuse via neglect, at this point.

Here are some hard economic truths. Both parents work. That’s a big part of it. Women have joined men in the corporate workforce and are encouraged to work 10 hour days and move up the corporate ladder. This together with automation and outsourcing and trickle down economics (eg lower capital gains tax than income tax) has contributed to wage stagnation. In the past, taking care of children was indirectly valued economically, because in many households, there was a division of labor and only one parent was available to work for the market.

So now it takes both parents to pay the same rent that one breadwinner could pay before. Now that both parents are trading a large part of their time to work for corporations instead of taking care of kids, most of the kids are being put in a public school - it has become essentially a glorified daycare center to watch the kids while the parents work. So the work is outsourced to professionals in the school zoned for their residence (nevermind failing schools). They are told to sit down and shut up for 8-10 hours a day. The teachers are told not to do anything rash if the kids act out. There is not much they can do to stop it. The kids that are too troublesome are put in special ed and/or medicated with ADD medications that are chemically similar to methamphetamines.

Working adults also do this to their parents sometimes, putting them in nursing homes which keep them medicated if they are too anxious.

Sadly, it gets worse. There is an opioid epidemic among men and a quarter of middle aged women are taking antidepressants. People are lonely, often living alone without family or village, getting amazon or food deliveries, speaking for 5 seconds with the delivery person, and no one knows most of their neighbors.

We in the US need to have a hard look at our society instead of medicating everyone.

A major step forward would be a UBI and a 30 hour workweek. Men AND women can be amazing parents to their children and caretakers to their own parents if given the chance economically.

PS: And the animals too, we need to end factory farming and overuse of antibiotics and thinking it’s ok. This is a sick society.
It means you'd have to issue local currency against local infrastructure. Or otherwise anything local. I guess that doesn't make much sense either.

You have to GIVE a currency value. What that means is that you must give people a reason to use that currency. Now internally in a country this is done through taxes and the bank system. Externally however this has to be done differently. It must be "guaranteed" to be exchangeable ... to the global reserve currency (so that anyone can buy what they want with it). How do you guarantee that exchange rate ? By having an instrument that's guaranteed to be exchangeable for the reserve currency. A lot of US treasuries, a little gold, a little EU sovereign bonds, ...

So instead you'd have to issue currency and make it exchangeable for local assets. So you'd loan that to local people to build roads, harbors, bridges, buildings, ... That doesn't work, because sovereignty means that you can't exchange those things for the global reserve currency anywhere near as well as you can US treasuries. Because investors are acutely aware that the government could just immediately impound their money (and there's lot of historical precedent of that actually happening), whether it's local currency or local assets. Investors would have to accept that they can bring money in, but not take it out. And good luck with that one.
This is some really good advice. It's just hard to put some of the outwardly social aspects into practice for me. I wish there was some key to getting that fixed

> This was actually great as it CloudFormation is extremely verbose and often unnecessarily complex

I think its opposite, the most lean way to deploy AWS resources. Did you wrote it yourself, in text editor? I was doing it for 5 years now. You can omit values if you're fine with defaults, you only state what needs to be different. Other tip is use Export and ImportValue to link stacks.

I kept on using JSON, even after all my buddies jumped on YAML. JSON is just more reliable, harder to miss syntax errors, and can be made readable by not using linters and keep long lines that belong on one line. Also, the brackets are exactly what they are in Python :)

> wraps CloudFormation with a templating language (jinja2)

Not sure it it is a good idea. Everyone's use case is different, though. A well written CFN template is like a rubber stamp, just change the Parameters. The template itself doesn't need to change.

Dunno how well liquid N2 compares to Dry ice. Less toxic, but probably can’t take as much advantage of phase changes? Either way, -125C ice packs will perform better than -18C ice pack.
I see your point and concur. I do wonder though - in many ways diversity of cultures, nationalities, and races has enriched America and provided many things that other countries simply don't have - does this same diversity also make mixed communities less trusting resulting in less 'free range parenting'?

In other words, whites in that era who practiced 'free range parenting' presumably lived in mostly white communities. If the communities were more mixed at the time, would 'free range parenting' have been as common, even if the affluence and social status of whites was the same?

Another question - what were the parenting techniques like from other races at the time in America? I'm thinking Chinese/Japanese immigrants, Hispanics, Jews, etc. Were well-to-do whites the only ones who largely practiced this style of parenting or were there others?

From tutorial:

> Neoslavonic has 7 grammatical cases.

Fascinating. The vocative case has disappeared from Slovak (but not Czech). It exists historically, and is still available for ironic contexts, but scholars consider it dead.

Historically, for instance in the Lord's Prayer: Otče náš, ktorý si na nebesiach, ... (Our Father who art in Heaven ...). This "otče" is the vocative case of "otec" (father), something a modern speaker wouldn't use to address his or her father.

Ironically, in phrases like chlapče môj ... (my dear fellow/boy ...), vocative of "chlapec" (boy).

Not from my experience. The kids on my block played all summer long on bikes, with hoses, and at the nearby park. I'm guessing from 5 or 6 different houses on the street, all different ages. Just kids being summer kids.

Same story when I visited family in Colorado. Just kids playing outside like kids. Coming over unsupervised to play with the kids.

Seems like I might not live in the areas where the sky is falling, but I see kids reading outside, playing outside, and generally being away from their parents all the time in my own neighborhood

It's pretty ludicrous that this is an accepted notion. App stores are anticompetitve practices at their finest. (Especially Apple's situation, where they're competing with offerings from companies like Amazon, and slapping them with 30% cuts that price them out.)

We have two smartphone platforms that have basically full control over third party software. A company or individual that produces application layer software can hardly just come out with their own OS (and expect any amount of mass adoption). It's preposterous.

This goes even deeper than the issues with the Microsoft investigations of the 90s, but the only difference is a lack of monopoly-level marketshare. Which is hardly a sufficient excuse to permit this kind of behavior.
It might be more fulfilling to learn to have attachments and to cope with loss.
