The fact that international immigrants are significantly greater contributors to the US economy than US citizens? And if you restrict to those who are coming here for higher ed, the difference is likely to be much much more stark.

And it’s obvious why immigrants would be greater contributors, especially those in higher ed, without having to resort to demographic analysis.

> Similarly by referring to a person with XX chromosomes as she

It is worth pointing out that there are non-transgender XX males [1]. They are very rare, but it can happen. If the part of the Y chromosome which contains the SRY (testis-determining factor) gene is translocated to the X chromosome, an individual can be an infertile XX male. I don't think anyone would try to argue that such a person is not actually male (assuming they in fact identify as such), in spite of their XX chromosomes, since their external appearance from birth can be completely male. (XX male individuals vary: some appear anatomically completely male, albeit sterile; others show incomplete masculinisation.)

Biological sex cannot be reduced to chromosomes, although chromosomes can be used as a rule of thumb valid 99.99% of the time. In fact, I don't think there is any one single factor to which biological sex can be reduced; both maleness and femaleness are composites of collections of traits which usually occur together, but none of those traits is absolutely necessary to being of that biological sex. People who talk about biological sex as if it was completely determined by chromosomes are ignorant of the whole story.

In some countries, schools exist to teach students, rather than simply warehousing them and saying it's parents' fault for not teaching everything in the hours from 3 pm - 10 pm and weekends.

Truly, your comment does reflect the attitude of much of the teaching establishment: if children can't learn to read from their parents, they're hopeless [1]; if children can't learn math from their parents, they're hopeless. It's a total abdication of the vocation of teaching, and it's not universal. In Finland it's accepted that teachers teach children how to read, and accepted that every kid needs a good lunch in order to be able to concentrate. That's 'obvious' in their cultural context, but in the US cultural context poverty and struggle are just signs that God doesn't love you (the prosperity 'gospel' in action).

I think this is actually kind of a dangerous equivocation to make, and I see it frequently and increasingly. It's very easy to be cynical and say everyone is just out to screw everyone but I refuse to believe that.

To that extent, Twitter controlling the discourse is actually very different than the Russian government controlling the discourse.
This kind of pseudo-psychoanalytic approach to dialectic is always left wanting when contrasted with cold hard logic and evidence. Criticism is not bad, but is inherent to any sort of give-and-take discussion framework, and especially to the unequal manager-employee relationships that HN has projected onto this thread; we should be wary of advice given by people who cannot take it. Ultimately, we cannot take full responsibility for how an argument will be received; we might try our best to tailor the argument to the listener, but we can never guarantee that we'll bridge the communication gap. Frankly, these situations make me doubt whether there's any point to looking for insights about language in these sorts of ventures, as all I can see are ways to divest responsibility while holding onto power.

For example, I think that we should always have "Level 3 conversations". Anything less sounds horribly thoughtless and automatic. And having them one-on-one is the worst possible way to have them, since one-on-one conversations are when individual charisma is at its strongest and most reality-bending.

Who has more immigrarion? The US or Canada? Who has a better economy? Who pays higher wages?

More specifically, when comparing immigrants (and more relevant to this discussion, immigrants coming for higher ed) who has a greater income and who is a greater contributor?

All those numbers are significantly in favor of the immigrants in the country.

I agree. I was forced to hitch-hike in Guatemala after missing the last bus . I also was picked up by a family
and sat in the back of their truck for about 100km. When I got off at 9pm they advised to only continue to hitch on mining trucks or oil tankers during the night. I still remember sitting under a huge banana leaf during torrential rain waiting for hours for a truck to stop. The driver later dropped me off in the middle of no where and said a bus would stop there by 5.30am and indeed it did stop, but it was full so I was sitting on the roof of the bus for the next three hours together with 10 other souls.

In general, I don't like software defaulting to convoluted "grandpa-friendly" behavior instead of the simple, no-bullshit behavior. Moreover, if you want the simple, sane behavior you're a weirdo and need to justify yourself.

Another example of this is chrome hiding "trivial" parts of the URL. i.e. any subdomain that coincides with "www" or "m".

Threatening to declare war is a diplomatic tactic. Just because Donald Trump did it doesn't change tactics used by world leaders.

I don't recall any nukes dropping, or armies being deployed--but if you listened to the media around that time, it was 10 seconds to midnight. What we actually did see is people holding hands and crossing borders. Yet still, even today, we hear about the threat of war.
Not true. The misses are due to the perverse incentives and myopia created by both companies’ monetization strategies. For instance, a child must have an iCloud or gmail account to use the parental control features of each platform, and iOS users can’t whitelist content for YouTube kids except by taking the kid’s device.

YouTube kids is a load of algorithmic content farm generated garbage. There is no trust based system for ranking content by quality (pagerank anyone?). Apple parental control is category specific, limits cannot be set for individual apps, nor can ad hoc categories be created.

Netflix has the same perverse incentives that default to the most addictive, garbage content and no whitelist option. Totally irresponsible and greed driven.

All three companies are dragging their feet, it is hard to tell if it’s due to greed, negligence or both.

Sadly, Amazon is the market leader in 2019 for kid friendly content and parental control options.
> Solving climate change, in fact, requires getting China, India and all the other developing countries on board to cut emissions. But of course, their goal is to lift their populations out of poverty with cheap and reliable energy. How do we square that?

This is the money point in the article. It's difficult to see how we can successfully combat climate change if it means rolling back advances in eradication of poverty. [0] We need technical solutions that work without requiring everyone to be a saint.

My bus came at 6:27 am all of junior high and high school. Yeah, I was still valedictorian, but I sure as f(*7 brought a pillow with me and slept through the bus ride and sometimes first period.
You're describing an algorithm, albeit an informal one. The problem is that there is no general algorithm for social skills, which means that this algorithm is useless in the general case. Now, if one treats your listed points as a set of heuristics rather than an algorithm and then perceptively applies them to a given social interaction, they probably will be useful. But, of course, the ability to do that is exactly the same thing as having social skills. This explains why it strikes many people as both patronizing and unhelpful: because it is.
Reminds me of how my high school's borders (for which neighborhoods would be assigned to that high school) just so happened to only include affluent (or rural, in my case) areas and excluded less-affluent areas (instead of basing it purely on distance). It was a new school, too (it and the adjoining middle school opened for my 8th grade year), so of course it got all the nice stuff while the kids in poorer neighborhoods had to make do with older stuff in older buildings (and/or portables).
Yes, but in this case you aren't really developing for the web, you're developing a "native" looking app that happens to use a WebView to display it. Using native looking controls therefore makes sense for this use case. There is a reason why Apple and Google provide UI widgets for use in applications, so that user have a consistent experience across apps.
Do many people earnestly want to work with Vulcans? Comparing users of NVC to vulcans seems more derogatory than complimentary.

The part about this logic that confuses me is starting early enough to early morning commutes (7ish) puts kids out of school long before parents are home (2-3ish). I remember briefly running with a crowd's whose daily ritual was, after being dismissed at I think 2:40, was to go home and smoke pot for a few hours before everyone's parents were home. Unless kids are in school for 9+ hours, I don't see how parental commute is a reasonable argument. Similarly, there's no reason there couldn't be early classes for kids who absolutely couldn't get to school otherwise.

"Frankly, I don't see the point of any post-graduate degree in something that's neither specific nor complex."

This is a useless metric. I have a PhD in something that is specific and complex and never could find a job.

Your workplace sounds toxic and full of backstabbing jerks. Am I misunderstand you? I can't imagine why you seem proud to work in such a place.
good call. looks more actively maintained.
The request part looks like something out of Cialdini's Persuasion. Which doesn't mean it isn't effective, mind, but it definitely sets off "someone is phrasing things like a car salesman, beware, you may be talking to a jerk who's trying to screw you" alarms.
In the west it is not my responsibility as a business owner to bow to the whims of public figures for free.

I might make allowances on the grounds of free advertising, but there's going to be plenty of quid pro quo in the process.

I am sure as fuck not going to do anything just because they told me to do it. If you want to throw your weight around you can do it officially.

And just so we're clear, I'd include people I personally voted for in this. That's not enough reason to set precedents like that.
Yep, like lonelappde says, it's so the buses can do

* an hour-long route for high schoolers (6:30-7:30) then
* 45 minutes for junior high (7:45-8:30)
* potentially a last route for elementary (8:30-9)
I've noticed the same thing. In my twenties waking up before ten was extremely difficult and made getting into work stressful every morning. But now in my thirties I find myself awake when the sun rises without issue.
Yes that would be the best thing but sometimes kids aren’t wise enough. Yes they could add all your friends, but the idea is to kill their incentive. After all they’re banking on you being ashamed for their blackmail to get money from you. Those that matter don't mind and those that do don’t matter.
My maternal great-grandfather bought a house from sears- apparently the process was actually pretty cool. He sent in the cashiers check (or equivalent, I do know he bought it outright) along with instructions on which train station to ship it to. Apparently it was exactly what it said on the tin- my grandmother's older brother said that they included all the fasteners. They saved the plans/instructions, and they were remarkably detailed. I'll have to see if I can track down who has them and put some scans up, it'd make an interesting blog post.

About the only modification they made was adding electric- this was on a farm in the upper Midwest in the 20s,rural electrification wasn't a thing yet. Apparently they ran the lights off a generator that charged a bank of Edison Ni-Fe batteries.

I do know that they didn't go into a store--the nearest Sears was 400 miles away. He did telegraph to request more details, but AFAIK the process to order the house wasn't much different than ordering anything else. I don't know what details went into authorizing payment, but I don't think there was phone service in that town at the time.

Although 150k for that Amazon house seems like a ripoff, most large lumber yards will spec out a 'kit' for far less than that. I do know that that is still a thing, my brother was a manager at a Menards (Home Depot, but cheaper) and they had a selection of houses that were pre-specced and they would sell them as a kit. Although they aren't delivered as an entire kit, you go back to the store in stages to get the components.
You're doing the same thing that a lot of people in this thread are: assuming that there is a wrong and a right person in the interaction.

> To me it does sound more passive-aggressive to circumlocute vs just directly ask. I guess specifically because it implies a "no" would be due to simple unwillingness, which in a sense is always implicit but sort of routes around that a person may have reasons beyond simple obstinate refusal to grant the request.

Not necessarily. It gives them the opportunity to explain. Compare with "Please stop eating my food." "would you only eat the food that you buy?" as someone else mentioned. The first invites no response. The second requires the other person be somewhat confrontational to provide clarification. There second requires that they escalate to negotiate. If you don't want to invite negotiation, that's fine, but then you weren't earnestly engaging in NVC.

If someone says "would you be willing to only eat food that you bring", it naturally invites a followup "then why aren't you"? There may be varying levels of legitimacy to answer this. Consider a few: "I can't afford to bring my own food" (I realize this is unlikely as coworkers, but it's possible in similar situations), "I'm an asshole and I don't like you", "I always forget to pack a lunch", "I find that the food you bring is delicious and I enjoy it more than my own".

All of these invite may invite different responses. Some may require escalation to HR or whatever, but some may be solvable without escalation. You may be willing to chip in for lunch for a coworker who can't afford it, or complain to the boss about wages, or if a coworker really enjoys the food you bring, a solution may be to bring extra and share sometimes, and perhaps get paid for it.

Or maybe you don't want to do those things, and that's alright too. But the idea is that those options wouldn't be available if you hadn't allowed the clarification.

(Note in a situation that's much more like a negotiation without an obviously correct party, NVC sounds more normal: "We feel that feature X is very important, would you be able to prioritize it and complete it this month?")
I had family who grew up near them... they aren’t as bad as you think.

If you were making the inferior copycat kits, what corners would you cut?

My picks:

* Lead paint (still in inventory from the 60's)

* Ant or termite infestation in the wood

* 2 similar but noticeably different types of flooring for the main level

* Most subtly, making the ceilings 7'9". 3" savings multiplied by all the sruds adds up! The scraps could be sold as firewood, or maybe with volume, the wood could come at a discount from a supplier.
This course was geared toward teaching high school. In college you have a totally different dynamic. You're not responsible for your students and you have no authority over them besides grading. People in college otherwise tend to be very respectful of their lecturers, however, since they are paying tuition to attend class and so they're invested in their education. It's rare to see anyone screw around like a high school student.

As for references, I don't really. Everything in that course was on paper handouts made specifically for us by our instructor (we had a class of 5 people). Essentially, what you want to do is ask a question directly, without couching it in any NVC-style language. Don't say "Would you like to...?" or "Does anyone know...?" Those sorts of queries open you up to a sarcastic response, though as I said I wouldn't expect that tone from college students.
> However, I think a case could be made that deplatforming one candidate in preference to another would be a donation to the remaining candidates campaign, and could fall afoul of some campaign finance rules.

Could Twitter designate itself (or a subsidiary) as a Political Action Committee so they can deplatform (or promote) whomever they like?
Can you explain the difference? Is it just because Russia is a foreign entity?

What if Twitter had a major Russian investment? What if Twitter was fully operated by the Russian government? What if it was operated by the german government? What if it was operated by the american government? What if it was operated by a man named Jack who has clear political interests? What if Jack only cares about the bottom line? What if Russia supported Hillary instead of Trump?

Does your answer vary between the questions? To me, they are all the same.
I missed that you were being sarcastic.
