Tbh, there's so much variance between colleges / unis - hell, even between classes at those school - to use it as any meaningful predictor for such things.

At my Uni (my major, that is), there were exactly zero classes with compulsory attendance. What would happen was this: First 2-3 weeks were packed with students, then it would thin out, and two thirds into the semester you'd sometimes have only a dozen of students.

Come last lectures and class review, lectures would be packed.

That is even more relevant today, with video / streamed lectures.
Aren't majority of men forced to work instead of choosing by that definition? These are examples women people living real lives. Wast populations. There was such a thing as idle lifestyle of aristocracy in places where the situation allowed that to male aristocrats. Spending most of their time socializing with each other.

Also, overall they easily make majority of population. Combination of family farms, non-aristocracy, poor people, war situations, dangerous or far away occupations for males, pre-industrial are largely majority of "centuries if not millenia". Can I add former slaves who would be significant part of population here?

The "we expect the half of population to be mostly idle and mostly unused" is unnatural exceptional situation. And in case of muslim countries considerable physical violence is used to keep it that way.

When you talk about what was happening and was feasible for centuries, you cant skip over such was populations. They did not had power, had less control over own lives, but they did existed and count.

Also, most of those feminists marches were middle class or rich women. Poor women worked already, they however had sucky jobs and had completely different needs. Turns out that when women are actually in that supposedly great optimal situation, they want to get out, significant percentage is discontent and unhappy.

Which is nonsense, as college can NOT, by its very definition, teach you a job!
(I guess some very specialized community schools / community colleges can.)
> I think the idea is that if you don't want to carry heavy weights as your day job, you get a college degree.

Right - and I disagree and think that doesn't match up to reality - plenty of jobs legitimately and have always required both.
I agree... we pay a dayhome (a licensed childcare in someone's home) $875/month which includes 9 hours of care per day and 3'ish meals per day. That's like $40/day or like $4/hour. Where else are you going to get that value?!
Let's say my password is NmsWQlWj1kzS534ojygJ. The 4th and 17th characters are W and j. Even if those two characters are stored in plain text, how exactly does that compromise my password?
You can do this with `git add -p` as well, except maybe not trivially (ha). There's the 's' command to split hunks into smaller ones, and then there's also 'e' to open the patch in your editor where you can change the raw patch to whatever you'd like, although in my experience editing it correctly is not straightforward.
So we can live in reasonably priced and comfortably sized spaces without cultural or income sacrifices.

Right now density is as you describe > a metric for progress. But that's old fashioned. Living in a $3,000 closet in SF or NYC in a building with 100 other closets shouldn't have to be a near-requirement to work for an exciting company or enjoy your time off in an exciting place.

I like to think this modern world has enough intelligence to improve our antiquated and slow modes of transportation. We've done it for communication.
Why would anyone do this when you can get what seems like the same scooter for $300? Isn’t this the same as those Xaiomi (spelling?) scooters I keep seeing for sale?

Not so. Child care costs is artificial. In Texas child care was quite cheap. In Maryland costs are extraordinary. People know the demand is there, because there are a whole bunch of type A career minded people who want to climb the corporate ladder rather than look after their little food grubbers. Plus, legislation that forces corporations and government to pay for childcare just makes it all even more expensive, as always happens when you dump public money on some issue.

Also, I suspect the modern feminism that denigrates women unless they have a corporate career is also to blame. Women just have a better instinct for taking care of children than men, and modern culture has told they are worthless if they are a stay at home mom. So neither the male nor female in a modern upwardly mobile marriage want to stay at home with the kids. Thus, they want to stick the kid (usually just one nowadays) in childcare.

And finally, why do people think raising kids is so expensive? It is because of a bunch of extra BS that is unnecessary. They think they need to stick their kid in every program and every possibility of advancement so they can secure a few special spot at top colleges for a few jobs requiring extra special degrees. Meanwhile, such jobs are outsourced, automated, or plain made irrelevant, at the same time there are many blue collar jobs that pay very decently (especially minus college debt) for the taking. Or, if college is truly important, the kid can work their way through, start at community college, get scholarships, join ROTC, etc.

All of these problems are of our own making due to our own expectations, not due to the reality of what it takes to raise successful kids.
"Blue collar" refers to the blue chambray or denim shirts often worn by factory workers and other laborers in the early 20th century.

These days, it's mostly "laborer" vs "office dweller". But, there are a lot of jobs in the middle.

A plumber who works for somebody else would be considered blue collar. A licensed plumber who works for themselves and can bill at high rates is in that awkward middle - they still have to do some labor, but can be highly compensated (by middle-class standards). Same for electrician.

Nurses are sometimes called "pink collar" - those jobs that are traditionally held by women. Teachers, clerical, hair dressers, too. But, like electricians, they are highly trained and, in the right position, highly compensated.

You're completely missing the point of the parent comment and misunderstanding the concept of what the workforce is.

Being a part of the workforce in this context means you are contributing income taxes. A full time parent contributes $0 in income taxes from their labor and hence is not a part of the workforce.

The value of raising a child full time is not at issue here and you're attacking a straw-man. A subsidized day care gives a parent the option of returning to the work force if they wish. This could be because they want to work, or because they have to to feed their family. The parent comment was pointing out that this choice does not result in a deficit to society but rather in a net surplus which makes it worth it to implement and offer regardless of how parents choose to raise their children.
At one point one of them showing me how things worked asked "What do people do in Minnesota for work?" I told him "The same thing you're doing..." He found that hard to believe.

I've long suspected that much of what the algorithm testing craze (and other grilling on "strong CS fundamentals") in the current default hiring process boils down to is -- they just want to have some kind of vague reassurance that the people they're hiring are somehow "better" than the folks the other companies are hiring.

Even if the standards of "better" (and they means of measuring it) are - when we think about it - pretty dubious.

(To head off some of the tangential discussion that would otherwise likely ensue from what I just said: I don't dispute the value of doing some algorithm testing -- the point is that a lot of places seem to overtest these days, and it seems also that the only reason they're doing it is because they think that's what other companies - or at least the ones they'd like to fantasize that they're emulating - are doing).
My kids get to control their nightlights all by themselves. I trust them to do this responsibly, if they're clever enough to do it so I don't notice then I'll let them get away with it. I don't feel the need to snoop on/control my children digitally.
I think you're missing the point of the "childcare is not part of the workforce" argument. It's not that it isn't work, and it's not that it isn't important. It's that, in many cases, the economic comparative advantage for the (often) female caretaker of those children is not being fully utilized.

That is to say, caring for a child is a service that costs X. But it is being performed by a person who's skills are valued at Y, where Y > X. That represents an economic loss that doesn't have to happen, if instead you substitute someone who's most highly valued skill is worth X for that caretaker.

Now, that ignores the benefit of having a child's own parents care for them, which may or may not change how you evaluate the question depending on your perspective on these things.
I would love to work on something similar for sorting plastics for recycling. I wish there was an organization like Uber for organizing groups to do this in every city, along with finding funding to pay developers (> $100/developer_day). I would devote considerable effort to this full time if there are any angels out there or people who know anyone that could raise funds.

Also, does anyone know of a group working to improve the recycling symbol? It's too small/shallow to even be read by humans, much less machines, on many plastic containers. Short of that, we could break down the task into 1) isolating the symbol on the container and 2) reading the symbol maybe with extra wavelengths like infrared/ultraviolet or their combination with visible light.

Here in Boise, we have regular recycling that only accepts types 1 and 2, then they make participants sort 4, 5, 6, and 7 into an orange bag that gets sent to Nevada to be turned into diesel fuel. I see a ton of recycling in the trash because people aren't motivated to sort it manually:

Moscow Cops Sell Access to City CCTV, Facial Recognition Data
> College isn't two years (some vocational courses are two years, that isn't college though).

An Associates degrees is college, and is normed at two years.

> The reason for a four-year degree is that you spend two years doing courses from other areas (inc. your own)

While some, especially liberal arts, four year degrees work that way, that's not really generally true except at the level of looseness in the meaning of “other areas (inc. your own)” where it is essentially tautologically true of any course of study. Many engineering programs, for instance, are intensely focussed on the central focus from day one.
Forsyth itself has a population of under 2,000. Barely a town, if even.
Text From The Article...

Anyone with a little money can buy access to Moscow’s surveillance system of tens of thousands of cameras along and check footage stored over the previous five days.

Sellers on forums and messenger groups that trade illegal data also provide facial recognition lookup services.

City-wide surveillance
To ensure safety in the city, there are over 175,000 CCTV cameras in Moscow, most of them installed at entrances and more than 4,000 present in crowded places.

Back in 2017, the mayor’s office in Moscow stated that facial recognition technology integrated with Russia’s police databases had been activated and it was pulling data from 3,000 cameras.

The plan was to link the rest of the video surveillance to the facial recognition system.

“Restricted” access
Investigative media outlet MBKh Media found that access to this technology and the live streams is being sold on underground forums and chat rooms.

Andrey Kaganskikh, the journalist that did the investigation says that the sellers are law enforcement individuals as well as government bureaucrats that can log into the Integrated Center for Data Processing and Storage (YTKD), the very system that keeps the data from cameras in Moscow.

Whoever wants to check the live stream from a camera receives a unique link to the City CCTV System that connects to all public cameras in Moscow. The URL works for five days, Kaganskikh says.

Furthermore, government officials or police officers sell their login credentials to the system to provide unlimited access to all cameras. The price of admission is 30,000 rubles ($470), according to Kaganskikh.

“We managed to find the cameras from the file at the indicated addresses – their angles coincided with the pictures, the camera indices and the camera indices from the open registry also coincided” – Andrey Kaganskikh

Firebase also offers DBs, storage, and even hosting. I'm confused as to why you say it isn't serverless,

AWS's "Serverless" (wow that name...) looks like a suite of existing products advertised under one label. From their splash page it looks mostly equivalent to what Firebase, although it seems Amazon has some functionality that Firebase itself doesn't have (necessitating using the full Google Cloud).
Probably never because it is licenced under GPLv2. Apple has a history of removing non gpl code from their operating system.
I agree with this generally, but I don't think questions like "why are the laws of physics the way they are" are obviously questions for philosophers only and I'm not simply asking "why?"

Only very low-level ontological questions meet this criteria, like "why is there something rather than nothing," but even then, I am open to the possibility that there are reasonable explanations for these things that we just can't articulate yet.
Go back during winter and see if you feel the same way XD
They are both weird IMO. Well-made, ethically-sourced jackets with high quality materials can be bought for like $200-$500. I understand the branding, exclusivity etc. that $2000 will buy, but saying that jackets need to cost that much isn't accurate.

Ha! It is crazy how different perspectives can be depending on where you're from. When I moved up to Montana in 2011 they had just broken 1,000,000 population for the first time in the state's history and all the locals were talking about how crazy it was. Meanwhile I also thought it was crazy, because I had just moved from a place where there were a million people within five miles of me. A quick google shows that Montana still has just one area code - 406 - for the entire state.

My experience was that what passes for "socialization" in k-12 school is extremely weird compared to the same among adults. I wouldn't rule out that it is nonetheless somehow important to kids' development in a way other approaches aren't, but my gut feeling is that socialization among adults and a range of peer students of many different ages rather than mostly the same age +/- one year (how the hell, exactly, is one supposed to model the behavior of socially-successful older kids when one is rarely around them, or easily notice one's own failings when not exposed to amplified versions of the same in younger kids?) would be far better at turning out well-adjusted people.
It feels like you're being unnecessarily hostile, here. He didn't address your specific problem as stated, but he did add to the discussion.

I don't think it's fair to say that Nix is 'just another package manager'. It solves many of the stated problems with distro package managers (overlapping versions, user-specific packages, strict build environment rules), and provides many of the benefits of Docker and it's ilk (perfectly reproduceable environments for packages to run, including dependencies that don't fit well into traditional package managers, like JARs). Because it doesn't rely on the standard POSIX filesystem layout, it runs happily on any Linux or OSX system, alongside whatever package manager your system uses.

If people started using Nix recipies instead of Docker or janky bash scripts for deployment of Hadoop and other complex software, most of this article's complaints would disappear. And Nix is, if anything, better from a sysadmin point of view than apt-style packaging systems. It makes a fine distro package manager (see: NixOS).

Unfortunately I think you just have to frame thing in terms of economic measures in order to get certain policymakers to take you seriously. While some will recognize that having well-adjusted, well-educated, well-taken-care-of young children is something the government should help fund, others will take the attitude that the parents are solely responsible for that, and we shouldn't be "wasting" money on doing something the parents should be doing already. You'll also get arguments against "interfering" in parenting.

But many policymakers will react positively if you relate new policies in terms of the economic growth they promise. It's difficult to do, in this case, though, but I get why they're trying.

It may be unnecessary but if the premium is large enough the "overqualifcation" may be rational if there is enough of an edge on average.
Exactly. Like IG Metal instead of AFL-CIO. Organized labor pushback is the only way to get fair pay, benefits and conditions. Furthermore, workers need to be members on the Board of Directors, as in most advanced economies. Finally, if you want to have a really good company where people care about their job, quality and the company, make it a co-op to where workers attain ownership and profits too.

The problem is statement vs command.

"X may not do Y." as a statement implies that X doing Y is unusual, but possible.

"X may not do Y." as a command implies that X doing Y is a mistake.
>Every kid I knew in University that had been homeschooled had pretty serious issues with social skills

There's a lot of confirmation bias going on here. How many homeschooled kids with good social skills didn't you notice?

There's also a potential selection bias in that parents maybe be more likely to homeschool kids that have social issues because they have social issues and don't fit in at school.
Supposedly this company was profitable in March. From https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/18/here-are-the-85-startups-t...

"Unicorn rents scooters by the week or month and is already profitable"

So what happened?
I agree. With 24/7 wide-area drone surveillance being recorded and a neural net automating 'vehicle of interest' tracks both forward and backward in time, it's not even necessary to tag vehicles with trackers. I've suspected that they're also using hidden surveillance cams that do license plate and make/model capture along with occupant facial recognition.

Assuming you have some additional mobile tracking cameras hidden in vehicles so they can be relocated once a day, the neural net could pretty easily infer guesses about where to put them.
Really Gerard, are you going to lecture me on this? I am aware of practice, and more importantly, I am aware the IQ gains from education are hollow, from the Milwaukee Project on to Ritchie's paper on education increases. The practice that raises your score does not affect all subtests the same: increasing your vocab does not affect your backwards digit span or reaction time, or increase your longevity or income or...

And that's not relevant anyway. Are you trying to suggest people only get into SMPY because their parents made them practice the SAT? In the 1970s and 1980s, hardly anyone would have even heard of SMPY before their kids took the test in school.

I understood it as it would "pay for itself" in increased tax revenue in the future as the children who had access to better child care become more productive citizens. That sounds like how any other investment works, you pay now for a better situation in the future.

If you argue that you don't want to pay now because you won't benefit in the future because you'll be dead, I assume you're not willing to support any other investments either. That sounds like you're just freeloading on the investments that our ancestors made.
