I don't think I agree with that. I'm a big fan of Sasse's "the Vanishing American Adult." He points out that what you call "teenage cringe" is a fairly modern construct. For most of human history, teenagers were integrated into the adult world, not set apart and left to their own devices in the modern context of "school." It's a malign symptom, not a necessary developmental stage.
> I had to explain that, yes you can use the github.com client if you want, but "git" is different from "github".

To be fair, this is largely the result of a concerted effort by GitHub to muddy the difference. If you didn’t know any better, you might think Google is the internet too.
That’s also before subsidies. You can subsidise so it never exceeds X% of the household income, which is what they do in France
It isn't "solved" in the sense that there isn't a newly found method of making somebody who stays at home with siblings all day automatically more social.

But all the home-schooling communities I know of solve this problem by making sure they participate in exactly that - a community. This is more often that not tied to a church, but not always. But multiple (5+) families that all have the same approach to home schooling regularly let their kids go to each other's homes for different lessons etc. Then you add the church component and they get exposed to a broader number of families who also could be doing similar things.

You don't end up with kids that are party animals, but you do end up with kids that are very articulate, talk like adults, can read social cues, and all things considered, more well rounded human beings than the average public school attendee. Does it always work out? No, but I'd say if you have the energy and passion, you'll get a better result.

I personally don't have kids (yet) , but if I did, it would be a toss up between a good private school and home schooling.
There's a lot going on here, though obviously not as much as in Austin.

I've found folks to play music with, found a software dev meetup, and made a couple of friends through my roommate.

If I were looking to find a partner, I think it might be a bit thin on resources. But for finding a bunch of people who are into outdoor sports and living in a small town, I think that it'd be hard to find much of a better spot.

I was homeschooled until sophomore year of high school. While there were certainly some benefits and I don't totally resent my upbringing, I do feel like I've had to work extra hard to develop my social skills. I know dozens of other homeschooled kids and I would say that the vast majority of them ended up having major social deficiencies.

I don't regret being homeschooled through elementary school as it gave me plenty of opportunity to explore areas that I was interested in, only mildly regret missing middle school since many of my friends consider it a miserable time of their lives, but I absolutely regret missing freshman year of high school.

I would very highly recommend that any parents thinking about homeschooling their kids very thoroughly consider their choices. So many of the parents I knew taught their kids at home out of fear and ended up negatively impacting their children's lives dramatically.
A lot of really good discussion in this article. I just wanted to add a couple of things:

It is a true blessing if a mother or father can stay at home to raise their children. However, over time being a stay at home parent is incredibly isolating. Men are suseptible to depression, but women especially so post-partum. Also, many parents do eventually want to work either part time or full time. The longer one stays out of the work force the bigger the gap on the resume and the harder it is to find work as children grow up. I agree the lowest paying jobs should not be subsidized, but I think the benefits of taxpayer subsidized childcare would be overwhelmingly positive. The quality of childcare makes a big difference in the equation, but parents, especially mothers, should be encouraged to re-enter the workforce if they so choose. Every policy creates incentives and I have no qualms with the ones created by subsidized childcare.
I closely know people working for some high end brands. It is common knowledge. A dirty secret. The worst part is most of them dont give a fuck. Its just money grabbing.

Unfortunately you also have no chance of knowing if your 1500usd hoodie was made well or by kid payed 12usd week.

Its hard to expect other outcome since many brands are regular startups with investors. There are few monopoly megacorps like LVMH and Kering that act much like Facebooks and Googles and just squeeze anything for their investors and demolish/buy competition.
It's possible that the goal of VC is _not necessarily_ to make the highest performing investments, but rather _convince_ prospective and existing LPs that the VC is making the highest performing investments. After all, the LPs pay the management fees. In order to do this, you need to sell a good story, and a good one to sell is one that is already established by social proof: "Look at these scooters taking over cities - don't you want to be part of it?"
You're both right. The other poster's claim is that we cannot verify the code running on the server. They could support this new scheme AND just store every thing in plain text. We can only verify the interface is the same (because that's what we're using).

But you're also right it would be a long con to go without these features for so long, develop state of the art cryptography to add them securely and privately, then not use that.
I still think money isn't the only factor.

A poor family can make better tenants because they need the place to function and need a stable home. A rich college student with rich parents will sue you to death over anything if they choose to break the lease or a dispute arises.

Back when I went into the vocational track in the UK at 18/19 it was 4 years doing day release to get to HNC level - that was specialist thermo fluids for the turbine/ aerospace industry - ironically all but one of us on the course was working for world leading RnD.

Now the same grade the equivalent of ASO (assistant scientific officer) is a degree entry Maggie Aderin-Pocock (one of the sky at night presenters) started out as a ASO at RAE post degree, and ASO is what Bob Howard was recruited as (Bob got screwed on that btw)

I have also heard it said the US has 4 year degrees as high school isn't hard enough.
>it's very rare to meet a woman who only desires to stay at home for the duration of a child's life

I assume you mean until the child goes to school or perhaps becomes an adult, and in my experience it's not rare to meet women like that.

It certainly was not rare in previous generations, so to the extent that it is rare today, it's due to cultural changes. If women's mental health is suffering because certain elements of society have convinced them they should be working instead of caring for their children, we should just as strongly consider countering those elements.

What is very rare in my experience is to meet an older woman who wishes she had spent less time with her children when they were young.
I think Safari has good bookmark integration; I frequently re-find bookmarks and items in my reading list just from the title. Of course searching the content as well would be a great feature.
Absolutely, though a lot of colleges do a terrible job of explaining that.

Employers often demand a four-year degree, but they don't really know why. They'll test you on your technical skills, but not on those "soft" skills -- writing, understanding requirements, negotiating, collaborating -- and then complain when you don't have them.

Such things are hard to define and hard to test for. STEM majors regularly complain, loudly, about the fuzziness of the classes that teach those skills. I believe that we could all do a better job of explaining why many of the most important things are hard to measure, and some of that starts with (for example) teaching programmers that their job is to understand what the client really wants. Which is practically never being able to sort a list in .02 milliseconds rather than .03 milliseconds.

I don't know if American liberal arts educations are any better than English universities at cranking out students who can think for themselves. While they do get an extra year, full of courses that should be able to help them think about and communicate about what people think and feel, they often treat those as blow-off requirements. The classes are often uninspiring. They are hard to teach, but I think we could do better at trying to show why the notion is important.
I think in terms of time, weekly is a lot different than 8 hrs a day 5 times a week (plus more on the weekends or after school).

In this comparison weekly is just the weekend piece. The cumulative time difference is dramatic.
No, the argument is that the program increases GDP because more women with children are participating in the labor force. A portion of that increase is collected in taxes, and if that amount happens to be the same or larger than what the government spends on childcare, the program "pays for itself".

Non-parents are not subsidizing parents in this scheme. And if the additional amount collected in taxes is greater than the cost of the program, then parents are subsidizing non-parents.

If you cancelled the childcare, the GDP increase would disappear, so the increase in tax revenue would disappear, and you wouldn't be able to reduce the tax rate.
That's a separate point from "women work because they have to". Regardless of your POV on whether or not most people work out of necessity rather than desire, I don't see any reason to believe any differences here attributable to gender.

Same, if someone can point me to ultra-cheap leather shoes from the developing world that're anywhere near as good as the ones made in the US and Europe I'm absolutely mercenary enough to be all over that (aren't lower prices supposed to be the main way normal non-capitalists benefit from globalization, after all?). Savings seem to be at best ~40% vs. comparable products made by much more expensive OECD labor.

I’m young enough for this to not be something I have experienced, but I don’t have to have to understand that depending on things you don’t have control over can be a bad idea.
When you leave out features and quality, you have a proof of concept.

Those are valuable things to build, IMO. Just make sure you leave out enough features that it cannot be pushed into production once someone else sees it running.
I thought The Peripheral was a really frustrating novel to read.

Many — perhaps most — of Gibson's novels have the main plot occur behind the scenes, with the principal character being a minor player a passive observer of events instigated by others, in particular by wealthy oligarchic figures with unlimited resources (think Armitage in Neuromancer, Bigend in the Blue Ant books, etc.). Think about what Case actually does in Neuromancer. He steals the ROM containing Dixie Flatline, and then... not much else. I loved Neuromancer when I first read it in the 1990s, but today a re-read makes it painfully obvious how much of the plot is on rails, with the main group of characters transported from location to location, ticking boxes on the heist checklist.

The Peripheral is an extreme example of this. Without spoiling anything serious, Flynne makes a pivotal conscious choice in the first chapter, and then for the rest of the book she does absolutely nothing other than being shipped around while other characters do stuff. She's even kidnapped at one point. The last two thirds of the book is spent mobilizing for a huge event that, at least to me, barely registers when it happens, and Flynne doesn't even seem necessary in order to resolve the central conflict, except that Gibson wanted her to be present. Flynne is not a badly drawn character, but she has very little agency.

I love Gibson's prose and his attention to world building and futuristic detail, which I think end up elevating his books above what the shoddy plots deserve, but even that seemed diminished in The Peripheral. The dialogue is particularly atrocious, with every present-day character speaking in the same annoying shorthand style. A lot of The Peripheral consists of people talking on the phone with each other and repeating known plot points to each other. There's a lot of lazy writing here for someone famous for their cool-sounding prose.

Well, thank you, that's very welcome and I feel bad for making you apologise. I'm glad you see things this way!

So, I'm looking at my comment again and I think I should have omitted the following two sentences:

>> I don't get the feeling it was setup to demonstrate _weakness_ though. I think it was meant to demonstrate strngths.

>> I suppose it's just advertising for the BYU Perception, Control and Cognition Lab, but it sounds awfuly expensive for advertising for an academic group.

The first one does sound as if I'm taking a swipe at the research team. This was not my intention but it came out all wrong.

The second one makes assumptions about the motivation of the BYU research team, and I should have kept those to myself.

My original question, what justifies the high cost of the product, I feel is valid so I wouldn't change it. But, clearly, I took it farther than I should have. I apologise that I didn't think my comment through enough so as to avoid having it come across as an attack on the BYU team and I'm sorry it upset you.
Right, so you have an application where you don't genuinely have a dictionary -- e.g., inserting items in a different order can result in a very different outcome even when all the keys are distinct, or even worse, inserting two keys and then removing a third can give entirely different results depending on the order in which you inserted the first two. (Or other arbitrary things depending on your application.) That can of course come up; it's just been quite confusing for me to see a fuzzy search scenario like this presented as a counterexample when (at least to me) the discussion seemed to be about proper mappings.
I don't really mind the embarrassing things, I cringe about the times I acted like a jackass in pursuit of social approval. I was relatively well-behaved as far as it goes, but I still wasn't as compassionate as I should have been and I think I would absolutely have been better off if I had never been tempted to seek status among high schoolers.
For another data point, my wife and I live in Cambridge, MA we just hired a nanny for our 6 month old son at a rate of 23/hr for 30 hours per week (~35k/yr)... This was competitive with nearby day care center rates.

Don’t have immediate plans to homeschool our children (4 and less than a year). We have found that the 4 year old does much better with outside authority than with us, plus he is a highly social creature who will benefit from the relationships at school, we think. He has done great at preschool, although no plan survives contact with the battlefield. Plus, my wife, while an educator, has no real desire to homeschool, and my career is the more lucrative one so I am likely to be the primary wage earner for now. We are open to homeschool if circumstances seem to dictate it.

Anecdote of 1. I have many friends who were homeschooled who homeschool their kids, and many who refuse to.

The people of this country are on the verge of going to war. I think it is quite substantive to express the sentiment that requiring college degrees for jobs that do not require a degree is an exploitative practice that is bringing us closer to a complete meltdown in this nation.

It will end up in your face eventually.

I use zerotier[1] in a similar fashion, and I don't think there's any out of box solution to get wireguard to do "smart" routing (have two hosts on same switch talk directly, still be able to talk to server in a remote datacenter and a client roaming on cellular - with multicast and mDNS/bonjour working seamlessly).

It should be possible to set something up - but I believe you'd need some kind of managing daemon that helped nodes rendevouz and set up routes.

> I understand what the quote means but, honestly, this is one of the big wrong points of our society: that caring for the children full-time is NOT being part of the workforce.

I see it more as a way of self-sufficiency and financial independence from the spouse. I believe one of the wrong points in our 'free' society is that it's perfectly acceptable to basically rely on your spouse for financial stability. That is a frequent source of abuse, resentment, unfulfilled dreams, and the regular 'i raised MY kids' narrative during divorce proceedings etc..

> people’s life is as valuable as the money the work or the “job” they have,

Unfortunately this is the world we live in, especially with the lack of social safety net provided by the state. Someone must go out and make money in order to sustain a certain level of quality of life.
My bad, can't edit the above comment but I seem to have mistaken it for another saloon in Arizona.
Here in California, once a kid is four or five years old (ready to go to elementary school), we provide subsidized care at public schools in the form of ESS (Extended Student Services). It costs under $5000 a year to have the kid cared for from 6:30am to 6pm (usually, parents drop off their kids later and pick them up earlier). The staff are very professional and kind people.

Yes, there are issues with more parents who want their kids to be in it than slots available, and there are about four or five weeks a year when it’s not available, but it does provide excellent child care for kids.

> Another argument is that there are economies of scale to subsidized child-care

There are some very difficult to snswer questions with a scale argument applied to young children. Without bothering to look for a source it seems quite reasonable that young children who socialise 1:(small n) with a caregiver in a family unit turn out quite differently to those who socalise 1:(big N) in a 'highly efficient' daycare centre.

I could see that argument either being a pro or a con; most parents are as bad at parenting as they are at everything else. But the issues involved in creating economies-of-scale in child care mean it should be considered potentially neutral until they have been debated (vs considered as a net-positive as is normal in economics).
Maybe they stopped at the bar and got inebriated and forgot to complete their mission :)
Yes, exactly. We traded away strong families and neighbourhoods for women's freedom. And then most of the benefits of that freedom were captured by employers through stagnating wages and landlords through skyrocketing rent and real estate prices.

We should be aiming to have fewer people in the workforce, not more. The economy is for the people, not people for the economy.
Not just CEOs, executives, managers and leaders at all levels.

Stereotype threat is real.
Yeah, I tend to think the world would be a better place if we made more room for young people in the adult world. I think kids are capable of a lot more than we give them credit for and I think setting them apart, as you say, erodes their ability to participate in the world and makes us want to set them even further apart. If we treated them like whole people who can do things, I think they would start acting like whole people who can do things, much, much earlier.

New Mexico is similar.
