How strange that the first time I learned of the word "Mundi" was not through any religious teaching, but through reading Bethesda Softworks' The Elder Scrolls lore. Up until now, I thought "Mundus" was something that they had completely made up. That's the 21st century for you.

Being a housewife has still much more economic value than the average woman in the workforce, and that's even after artificially skewing the market by outsourcing house work to illegal Mexicans on slave wages.

An average housewife used to take care of the kids, prepare healthy food, clean the house, do the laundry, take care of the elders, trim the flowers in the garden, help with homework and give emotional support. Think about all the people you need to employ to do all those jobs and their cost.

On the other hand at the workplace women are failing, they hardly create new businesses and therefore don't generate any new jobs, they hardly represented in jobs that are difficult, dangerous, physical or technology related. Not even in music where they usually perform but don't create, how many women bands do you know? A huge chunk of them are working in government positions, basically being payed by men generated taxes, the collective "men" replaced the husband. There is an average wage gap of 25% but in terms of true contribution to the economy the pay gap should be much higher, we are bleeding money to enable this feminist utopia which turns out to be more of a dystopia.

It will be much better for everyone if women will be encouraged again to become housewives, not everybody as there are exceptions and some women should be in the workforce, but the whole ideology of women must go out to work need a second thought, that's for sure. A lot of women will miss the social aspect of going out to work and we should also think how to bring back the village environment into our cities, like setting up common places for cooking and other home related work, being stuck in a suburban home 1950' style is also not going to work.

What you are agreeing to is that it is OK for a government to arbitrarily censor information to the public as long as it is possible for the people to bypass it - this is absolutely and utterly absurd. Please provide some additional color as to why you think otherwise.

Yeah, I realized that after I wrote it, sorry.
Our teenager is not into sports. The school only offers one non-sport club, the culture club, but, in the words of the principal "it is only for people who have a handicap and can't go to a sports club." I was appalled. We asked if club membership is mandatory, we got a very Japanese answer "It is not mandatory but everyone does it, please do it too"

I remember, discussing with the head of the kendo club why she was into kendo, she said she was not really into it. She could not answer why she chose it or spends so much time there. I think acceptance and resignation are things that are taught very early in the Japanese education system. And don't get me started on the sempai/kohai system that just normalizes peer pressure and a generational hierarchy. I have seen people in their 60s still obeying their one year older sempai!

I did not like the school system I went through in France, but almost every thing I disliked is magnified in Japan. Yeah, the students clean up their classrooms and the admins do their paperwork correctly that's about all I see as advantages. All the rest is about formatting perfect wage slaves with no room fro creativity or self-search.

"In Europe, universal healthcare is typically paid for with social insurance taxes primarily imposed on people making under $70,000"

I wonder what segment of the population in Europe provides the lion's share of tax revenue overall.

It made an impression on me that I once ran across IRS charts showing that the US relies heavily on taxpayers who are between roughly $200-500K in yearly income. So, not CEOs and billionaires, but not people making $70K either. These are the people who have to be, and are, taxed heavily to keep the system running, but not to the point where it kills the golden goose.

I don't know whether this is how Europe works, or whether they don't have nearly as many people in that income bracket.
Given how amazingly good Google is at filtering or identifying content when it benefits them to do so (e.g. Content ID, and I have never seen anything pornographic break through YouTube's filters), I must believe that it would be extremely easy for them to implement the fix you desire.

Can anyone downvoting the parent shed light into why this comment deserved it?

It's a valid tactical play (one that was used in 2014 during the umbrella revolution) and bringing it up definitely adds to the discussion.

I'm not sure why it deserves downvotes. It's not in support of an authoritarian government and it's not like they're going to come here and find "brand new ideas" on what to do.

As the article states, the Chinese government has huge incentives to not crack down with military action potentially incurring financial suicide.

Why is China poising with its finger on the military tigger and why the downvotes?

edit: umbrella revolution was 2014, not 15.
That's exactly why I have so many hobbies today.

When I was a kid, I used to just watch TV and wait for friends to come at home to play.

In one particular afternoon, there was nothing good showing on TV and my friends are away. I complained to my mom that I was bored(implying that she should solve this "problem" for me).

My mom basically said just what you posted above. That it was my responsibility to find my own fun.

That was an epiphany that had a tremendous impact in my life.

When I was at TomTom, they ran a contest for employees to come up with fun ways to gamify their internet-connected GPS Personal Navigation Device3s.

Some wise guy came up with the brilliant idea of maintaining a real-time "Top 10 Speeders" leaderboard for every single road on the entire map. Kinda like Foursquare for speeding on local roads. No matter where you were driving in the world, you could instantly see the top ten speeds of other TomTom users who drove down that same stretch of road, and put the pedal to the metal to claim or defend your own spot on the leaderboard!

That one went over like a lead balloon with the legal department.

The only thing worse would be a chat app for texting while driving above the speed limit with other Leaderboard members along the same stretch of road.

They also didn't appreciate my proposal for TomTomagotchi: a simulated personality on your PND that relentlessly begs you to drive it all around town to various interesting places it wants to visit, to improve its mood and satisfy its cravings. (Kind of like having virtual kids!) I'm sure there's a revenue model having drive through Burger Kings and car washes pay for placements.

SFSegNet: Parse Freehand Sketches Using Deep Fully Convolutional Networks
Some people wrote below but I didn't see the key words that came to my mind. You are not Google's customer. You are Google's product. The customers are the ad/tracking networks.

Unless you pay Google for some services, you are their product. Products don't complain. They sit in the super market waiting for a customer we to pick them up.
We have discussed plenty that "if _it_ is free then you are the product", I am afraid in majority of Google's end users, this is true.
I went from that to INI to TOML and back to that in 10 years.

It just makes things run smooth in TypeScript because all the members and types can be statically analyzed giving you errors, auto completion and ability to jump to the definition when config files cannot do that but probably not good for large projects with multiple languages.

For small projects I'm just taking the benefit over small concerns.
One of the principles the article highlights is that additional features make a software complex and therefore more likely to fail. This is true, but I'd argue it's not for the reason the article claims.

The claim is:

> Stakeholders who want to increase the priority for a feature have to also consider what features they are willing to deprioritise. Teams can start on the most critical objectives, working their way down the list as time and resources allow.

In other words, the argument is "competing priorities in a large-scale project make it more likely to fail, because stakeholders can't figure out which ones to do first." Actually, in this very paragraph, the author glosses over the real issue: "Teams can start on the most critical objectives, working their way down the list" - treating development as an assembly line input-to-output process.

I argue that it's not time constraints that complex programs bad, but instead the mere act of thinking that throwing more developers at the work will make it any better. Treating the application as a "todo list" rather than a clockwork of engineering makes a huge difference in the quality of the work. When developers are given a list of customer-facing features to achieve, more often than not the code winds up a giant ball of if-statements and special cases.

So yes, I do agree that complex software is worse and more prone to failure than simple software - but not for the reason that there's "too much to do" or that prioritizing is hard. Complex software sucks because it's requirement-driven, instead of crafted by loving hands. No one takes the time to understand the rest of the team's architecture or frameworks when just throwing in another special case takes a tenth of the time.
>but Russian is still, by far, the Slavic language with the most second-language speakers

Only because Russia tried to destroy the language and culture of all the nations it occupied. They forced citizens of other countries to speak Russian and not their native languages. It is only the most spoken by older generations while the younger generations of other countries are being raised in their native language.

Given enough time, the Russian language will only be spoken by Russians.

I take the idea of “design defense” from Pyramid (Python Web Framework) [0], and have incorporated it into documentation on my projects.

Basically, it’s a narrative discussion of how this solution came to be, the trade offs involved, and perhaps its relationships with prior art.

I don't think you can say that Democrats in big cities cause big city problems unless you can point to some big cities that are mostly Republican and do better. It's my impression that if you map political affiliation at a granular level, the US has a consistent pattern everywhere of blue neuron-like clusters everywhere people live, in a sea of much less populated red. I don't think that pattern varies substantially in any region of the country, and the rhetoric about states and other subdivisions being "red" or "blue" obscures the reality.

When A and B are correlated, it's not necessarily the case that A -> B or B -> A, it may be that C -> (A and B).

> They don’t learn “how to start a friendship, how to start a relationship, what to do when someone’s bothering you, how to solve a problem.”

Consider too that many of these children's parents also don't have good relationship skills. It doesn't really bode well for our communities.
Scouts was a hugely formative time in my life, precisely because our Scoutmasters decided to buck the trend of the other Boy Scout Troops in our area (adult-dictated Eagle Scout factories).

The strongest memories I have of Scouts were of the older boys teaching us things, and of myself doing the same for younger boys. These “things” ranged from profound reflections on life to very practical skills. We ran our own fundraisers, planned our own trips and periodic events, and staged our own elections for very meaningful leadership positions.

“The Adults” were always in the background, jumping in to support and advise when asked for. I always thought that they had chosen the easy path, because they didn’t have to work too hard! In retrospect, I realize this was actually the hardest path – to trust that your kids and their insane friends are actually capable of intelligible self government etc.

And this didn’t come at the expense of excellence, but quite the contrary! Our troop had a proud legacy of winning the various prestigious awards at summer camp year-after-year, and the boys were very good at passing down this expectation of integrity and success to successive generations of kids.

That’s something that is hard to maintain in troops with very hands-on adult leaders - once a Scoutmaster’s kids age out, the culture of the troop can change dramatically. On the flip side, troop culture seems to be more resilient when it’s boy-led.

Anyways, I wish you the best of luck! Thank you for bringing these pleasant memories into my head to reflect on. Your kids will thank you for your restraint :)
It’s not the same thing. A protege is one person done your are grooming to be your replacement. A mentee is one of many people your are guiding down their own path.
> because you are allowed to apply for only 1 public high school and one private high school

Let's say it how it is: this is a gift to private schools at the expense of the poors' education. Private schools are expensive but always have some room left.

Here is how it works: you can only register at ONE public school (that is, a school that will not have prohibitive costs). You can play safe by choosing a low tier one or take a risk at choosing a high ranking one. Thing is, if you fail, you only have very expensive schools left, so most poor families will just skip that part of education or only register their kids to a "safe" high school with low scores. There is not a single good reason to not allow two or three fallback choices.

> never once did my students do their homework!

I am assuming you were teaching in a juku or another kind of additional education. If so, it could be because your homeworks were not mandatory and the school already had given them enough to fill 4 hours of work.

"the reputation Japanese schools have is completely undeserved."

I am not sure the reputation they have in US. French tend to think Japanese schools are good, I was appalled at what I discovered.
Not correct. They have a three or four-tiered hiring process and by the second tier, everyone is looking at your resumé.
Part of the problem is how little time one has to prepare for college. If we encouraged people to apply to college after a few years of adult life, I have a feeling the playing field would be a little better. But instead we expect kids to gain the credentials of much older adults while going to school and getting fantastic grades. Unless you understand the game going in, it's too easy to slip up and fall behind. Even then, you don't have time for mental health or sleep.

Don't make universal statements about how easy or better something is then. It can be a lot harder for others. It's easy for some peole to give up a car; for others its three hour commutes.
Well, this is a very vague and ambiguous statement, and doesn't have a citation.

By "wealthy", you could mean billionaires, you could mean people making a couple million a year, or you could mean people making $300K a year.

I believe the latter are a large part of what make large cities wealthy and underpin the tax base, and I'm not so sure they are mostly Democrats.
In the hiring process, the candidate has to be a marketing/sales person whose product is himself. Hence, there's nothing wrong with including a picture on your resumé, but many Americans are horrified at the idea because of the threat of discrimination.

The person they replied to said you can't walk around "downtown". In my experience that's a term only used in/for large cities. Smaller cities and towns don't really have CBDs.
This article is about letting your children play freely without your involvement, not about the issue of screens or whether it happens outdoors. The things you are doing are specifically brought up in the article:

"The areas where children once congregated for unstructured, unsupervised play are now often off limits. And so those who can afford it drive their children from one structured activity to another."

edit: formatting
This is incorrect. I have rented a movie from Google. I am their customer in every sense of the word. I cannot get customer service for my rental. Whether something is free or not has almost nothing to do with the service you get unless your account is in the tens of millions of dollars.

Nice post! Agreed on keeping the initial stuff simple as possible.

In python, I typically follow a pattern of keeping stuff in __name__ == '__main__' block and running it directly, then splitting to functions with basics args/kwargs, and finally classes. I divide into functions based on testability btw. Which is another win, since functional tests are great to assert against and cover/fuzz with pytest.mark.parameterize [1]

ITT we're discussing the safety of downtown areas. Of the cities you mention, let's take St. Louis, since it has a remarkably high murder rate. [0] (Although if I'm reading correctly I think that link is using total murders from the whole metro area but just the population of the city proper...) An adult white man still has no problem walking around its downtown areas at night. That isn't to say that there is no crime, but crime levels downtown aren't high enough to make one live one's life differently. As is typical in USA, murders are highest in particular neighborhoods that have borne the brunt of many decades of racist policies. [1]

It’s pretty telling to me that this author (“the editorial director of the Bloomberg New Economy”) is so quick to dismiss full democracy.

If Hong Kong is truly unimportant as you say, why not then let them go? I think HK is incredibly important to the ego of the PRC. They’re fearful of what this would mean, that it would cause China to lose the battle over Taiwan, over Xinjiang and over Tibet. It may not be a dealbreaker economically but it could be a tipping point for national unity. Many parts of China are looking to break away, for obvious reasons.

The success of the ruling party may well depend on their ability to exert their will and control over the non-Core territories (and to an extent at least perceptually Taiwan) and keep the whole of what they’ve been selling as China as one.

It’s not what it is that makes them important in this context it’s what it represents to the PRC.
