>Non-working mothers is a modern anomaly.

If by modern you mean common for the lower middle class in 1850 sure:

>And here occurs a curious inversion. It is a fact of common observance that in this lower middle class there is no pretense of leisure on the part of the head of the household. Through force of circumstances it has fallen into disuse. But the middle-class wife still carries on the business of vicarious leisure, for the good name of the household and its master. In descending the social scale in any modern industrial community, the primary fact-the conspicuous leisure of the master of the household-disappears at a relatively high point. The head of the middle-class household has been reduced by economic circumstances to turn his hand to gaining a livelihood by occupations which often partake largely of the character of industry, as in the case of the ordinary business man of today. But the derivative fact-the vicarious leisure and consumption rendered by the wife, and the auxiliary vicarious performance of leisure by menials-remains in vogue as a conventionality which the demands of reputability will not suffer to be slighted. It is by no means an uncommon spectacle to find a man applying himself to work with the utmost assiduity, in order that his wife may in due form render for him that degree of vicarious leisure which the common sense of the time demands.

Yeah, they are blocking a transit corridor. On a floodplain. It's not good.

And I agree --- the county response has not impressed. In that sense it's actually great that the encampment is in such a prominent location. The county can't keep playing their inhumane game of whack-a-mole. They have to actually do something.

The SMART financing situation is certainly a mess, but I don't think that it's reasonable to expect revenue neutrality from a public transit agency. I think it's reasonable for it to see a public subsidy proportionate with automobile infrastructure. However, I am personally very frustrated about the gaps in the bike path.

I'm mostly inclined to blame the situation on the ridiculous way we fund transit development in this country. Everything is funded from a mix of sources --- local, state, and federal --- and the federal funds are often "matching" funds. So SMART has to carefully break projects into bits to match the available funds and grant criteria. It's ridiculously inefficient. But of course, this complaint isn't really actionable given the political gridlock at the national level.

Thank you for being an informed and thoughtful presence in this thread!
Eating out compared to the bay area is cheaper, but not by a lot, i say about $10-15 for similar quality food and service. For a similar place in California that I pay $75 plus tip and tax and all that, i pay about $65 here in washington. Not cheap, but cheaper bit a little.

Groceries were very expensive for me, and I tried to shop smart with Trader Joe's and Luckys (cheaper than Safeway/Sprouts/Whole foods). I would go to others for small things, but majority shopping there.

Here I live near a Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Safeway, and a local chain call Metropolitan Market, which is like Whole foods 1000x better, but also very expensie.

My grocery budget is the same, but i spend less. For a $150 in groceries in California, I am paying about $110ish for the same things.

So maybe its a Bay Area thing, but I am just paying less somehow.

> hope you understand that it’s “progressive” policy which has caused crime to explode

Crime has not exploded in California. California’s violent crime rate rose in 2017—but it remains historically low. The statewide property crime rate decreased in 2017. Crime rates vary dramatically by region and category. Violent crime increased in a majority of counties but property crime decreased in most counties. [0]

Back in 1996 (I think), I had the impression they were obsolete, and during the instructional session before jumping, we were told to pay attention because once a guy who had experience in the military thought he knew everything from jumping with the round ones, and didn't listen and died as a consequence. I think it was something about the reserve being automatic on a military rig and not on a civilian one.

Shorter workweeks would unavoidably lead to lower economic growth. People get better at things the the more they do them and the more hours they work the more they get done. The marginal value of an extra hour worked only turns negative around 60 hours.

No one is forcing people to work that hard to gain money and social status. They do it to themselves.
You are assuming that property prices will stay the same. If prop13 is repealed, I do not think that will be the case.
At the risk of debating something you think is meaningless to participate in...

Having axioms is not a problem if the parties are prepared to reconsider them. At the time Omphalos was published, there were people who were genuinely prepared to change their minds -- Darwin himself started as a creationist (interestingly, his grandfather Erasmus Darwin, an influential scholar in his own right, was an evolutionist, and drew the analogy between domestication and evolution that was helpful for Charles) -- and the fact that Gosse was ridiculed by creationists suggests that the debate had not ossified. These days, all the arguments have been made, and the only sensible course would be to agree to differ. I think most evolutionists, aside from Dawkins and a few others, would be happy to leave it at that, if it were not for the repeated attempts by creationists to subvert education.

More specifically, “Earth came to be naturally billions of years after the Big Bang” is not an axiom, it is a conclusion drawn from evidence, and the axiom is more like "physical evidence never lies (even if it can be misconstrued)." The creationist axiom is more like "This book never lies", and “Earth came to be last Thursday” appears to be a tongue-in-cheek and apparently counterfactual claim made to trigger debate.
Clearly that is wrong. There is no income tax.

Europe Mulls New Tougher Rules for Artificial Intelligence
I'm always bemused by the idea that AI is nothing but machine learning, and ML is nothing but predictive analytics. Equating research in AI with a "boring hyperparameter search" shows how narrow it's become; saying you've "gotten 97% on a problem" refers to, obviously, classification accuracy of a model on a set of labeled instances. "Use AI/ML to solve X" means finding a way to translate X into a prediction task over feature vectors.

There's an old saying "If all you have is a hammer, all your problems start to look like nails." We may see an AI winter come about simply because we run out of things to pound with our hammer.

Conversely, day care should be exceedingly expensive to account for the cost of having high quality labor (vs minimum wage caregivers) tend to children, with the end result being day care is a last resort, not something provided universally (when taking into consideration the volume of “bullshit jobs” in the marketplace); your job should be of an exceptional nature to be preferred over childcare obligations.

> Due to Florida’s population, federal funds are likely to be requested and paid out to mitigate

It’s Florida’s population and the fact that it’s a swing state. We really need to get rid of the electoral college. I love how the same voters in Florida that vote for candidates that bail out Florida will vote against any measure to provide broad subsidies like universal healthcare or education.

Of course, it just so happens many Florida voters are over 65 and done with education and already have taxpayer funded healthcare (Medicare), and get nice taxpayer subsidies on their flood zone homes (NFIP). But why extend that courtesy to the rest of the country.

Just to get my personal bias out of the way: I'm pro-gun, and strongly pro-individual freedom across the board. That goes up to the extent that I don't even care what types of weapons someone owns, so long as they don't use them to harm others.

That said, the violence problems in Democrat-run cities is not because of the guns, nor is it due to gun regulation. There were a slew of poor governmental decisions that have led to massive inequality, poor social conditions, and fostered an us-vs-them culture through the militarizing of police and criminalizing of the poor.

It turns out that if people feel cornered with no way to improve their lives or escape their poor situation, they resort to organized crime or other desperate measures.

TLDR - Crime is primarily driven by social circumstances. Criminal culture is cultivated generationally by those circumstances.

Aptitude can be exactly equal and aiming at equality can still be a poor choice if men and women are different. Among medical school graduates women are more likely never to practice, to work part time, to retire early and less likely to work past retirement age. If working more hours leads to more productivity and we value productivity rewarding productivity makes sense.

If you are going to claim something as harmful as that, I want you to present clear evidence and peer reviewed studies to support your claims.

What you were suggesting is that men are better than women at STEM. Simplg saying men have more testosterone doesn't cut it as evidence. (Besides, competitiveness doesn't make you a better researcher or employee, and can even be harmful in a team).

I also need data for the number 2 in that list. At what are men better at than women by a significant ammount? And how does that thing relates to STEM?

And number 3 doesn't prove absolutely anything. Women were subjugated throught history and basically no opportunity to do anything. Even with their limited possibilities, you still have women like Hatshepsut, Ada Lovelace, Marie Currie, Sappho, Ann Lister, Hypathia of Alexandria, etc. And now that they are finally allowed in higher education they outperfom men in terms of degree gained. So there is clearly not something that holds them back from studying. If they have the ability to get a PhD, then they can also be good researchers. Simple as that.

If you are going to continue with this subtle sexist talk (implying men are better than women at STEM), I want clear examples. Thanks.
In support of what jedberg said, the Texas State Board of Education reviews school books and votes on which books to buy, and has the power to get the book authors to change books to their liking. That board, with the help of the Governor, was packed with creationists. Science books had to "teach the controversy" and treat creationism as being as valid as evolution. And guess which religion's creation story is the one chosen? It wasn't about science, it wasn't about religious tolerance; it is about their desire to see government run by their evangelical religion.

The board chair was for many years was Don McLeroy. He is a dentist without any particular educational pedigree. What he had going for him was zeal to promote the cause, nothing more.

It wasn't just science books affected, of course. History books cut out Jefferson to make room for Reagan and Phyllis Shlafly. When you are far to either side, even centrist information looks biased. The SBOE believed the textbooks had terrible liberal bias and needed to be fixed. If you are an American student and have textbooks, they are far from liberal.

It's glaringly obvious that a hard cap on the budget is a missing feature, since all projects need to deal with billing. What's even more bizarre, is that Google's docs include a tutorial, with code, on how to set up this feature.

To me, this says that the shortcoming has been noted, and then a product manager has argued against implementation. If I squint I can even justify it - shutting down a website right when it gets hugely popular is not something that's easily reversed, while it's pretty easy for GCP to write off a bill for $1k.

The tutorial's budget hard limit system is actually kinda interesting as it dogfoods GCP - the budget-hit notification is sent via GCP pubsub, and a lambda (aka Google Cloud Function) then removes the billing account from the project, which shuts down the project's resources.

(To be clear, having to write/tweak code and deploy this myself is a suboptimal solution to the problem but it's neat from an engineering perspective.)
Part Six: Equipment (1982)
I think LA in general is cheaper than the Bay Area, so we aren't comparing apples to apples here. The nice thing about LA is that fresh produce is much easier to come by, there is more diversity in vegetables and the quality is higher. Seattle and the East side are just so so in this department.

Likewise, I was living in Westwood LA (near UCLA), food for students is priced cheaper (and also has a bit more diversity). If I could live in the U District with a kid, I would totally go for that since eating out would be much cheaper.

People look for cheap when they can’t afford something. People in tech right now can afford to buy what they want, they don’t need cheap.
> She took over from my grandfather when he got sick and he became the house husband.

Neither would have her husband been counted in the non-farm labour force survey. Thus swapping husband for wife would not have shown up as a change in the first place.

This is an interesting discussion. I remember my economists professor talking about how in Alberta during the 2006 boom labour force participation dropped as wages increased. In that case it was an example of the in-elasticity of labour demand.

From the social aspect it was an example of how for many families 2 working parents is not optional. A situation was fully true earlier in the industrial revolution. As the revolution progressed and labour had more negotiation power over capital real wages rose and duel working parents decreased.

Thus my pet theory is that the reduction in real wages is a non-trivial driving force for the current historic high labour force participation stats.
> How would you suggest most people actually consider "both sides"?

I'd suggest that they have a look at local weather data going back a couple of decades, compare it to global data, check out the methodologies used to calculate that data, read a few of the best resources they can find from each side, and try to work out what the debate is about.

I don't think many people will change their minds, but I hope that they'll learn what both sides actually are and come to have more respect for the other side.

> And..are there actually only two "sides"?

I think there are two sides to the question "how much effort should we spend preventing climate change?", and those sides are "no effort" and "all available effort", with plenty of middle ground. I think serious debate around climate change is about where we are on that continuum, rather than whether man-made climate change is actually happening.
Thanks. Currently stuck on the wrong side of their paywall.

As a former resident of New Jersey, I'm aware of Abbott districts, and trying to place the blame them for NJ's high property taxes is absurd. It's not a separate tax, it's simply redistributing school funds from existing tax income. As for the amounts of funding the districts get, here's what it says in the wiki article:

Abbott district students received 22% more per pupil (at $20,859) vs. non-Abbott districts (at $17,051) in 2011.

That is a HUGE amount of money being spent regardless of district classification. As for the pension problem, please do not underestimate the ability of the NJ government to kick that can down the road as hard as they can. I firmly believe that they will do anything they can to not solve it until it's too late.

Some questions:

* How long did it take you to build OneDev (e.g. in hours time invested)?

* Do you expect it to scale, e.g. to large repos, large histories, many issues?

* I see you have a "code comments" feature with which people can make comments in the actual code tree, as opposed to the commits (https://code.onedev.io/projects/onedev-server/codecomments). I implemented this for Google Code Search, nice to see it in more tools! Do your comments survive changes to the file?
