> There's no real need to physically restrain them from the road because they don't have easy access to the road

And if they go there anyway?

What, are you going to setup a giant wall around society?

That's the point. You cant actually stop someone from being in society without using force.

> you aren't part of the society, you have no home, and no access to food

Sure they could have access to those things. There could be other people who choose to sell them a house or sell them food, in exchange for their labor, or other goods.

What are you going to do? Stop these other people from selling them food?

You'd have to use force to do that.

There would absolutely would be many people who would be perfectly fine selling them food or housing, in exchange for goods or labor. Or maybe even charity! That exists.

> They will either leave, join society

No, actually. The other possibility is that they refuse to leave, and other people continue to do business with them. Likely through engaging in trade with them for their labor.

You are not going to succeed with some sort of embargo against them, unless you plan on using force yourself.

> We're not building roads to random strangers houses

They don't need you to connect roads to their house. firstly, because roads are already connected, all over the world. And 2nd, they could just find someone who already has a house that is connected, and rent from them, by exchanging labor or goods that they have acquired.

Or maybe some people would perfectly be fine with letting them stay for free! Charity exists and is common in the world right now. I see no reason why it would stop.

What, are you going to send out "community" embargo squads, that follow people around, find where they live, and find who is hiding the secret tax evaders or something, so that you can enforce your embargo on both of them?

It would be exceeding impractical to enforce some sort of society wide embargo against people who refuse to pay taxes, because you are not only going to have to embargo the tax evaders, but you are also going to to have to embargo the people who refuse to follow your embargo. And then, what? You exile those people to? Who already have a house, and are already in the city, or connected to the roads, and are living in society, and the like?

Ridiculous.

You can't do that effectively, without using forces, lol

Or even beyond that, there could be a critical mass of people who refuse to leave society, and also interact with each other. IE, they still use your roads, but also trade with each other. And the trade between them is enough for them to sustain themselves (especially since they already get the benefit of the roads and stuff, but don't have to pay for it!)

I did a Ctrl+F and no one so far has posted about cheating! How can we trust a Twitch experience of chess when actual video game streamers have been caught cheating on Call of Duty et all? This seems rife for abuse. I love chess but I wouldn’t play electronically against random folks since the past 15 years.
The value in the understanding of the term is not in how searchable it is.
Nagle's Algorithm is named after a person. It helps make sure more data is sent together, rather than split across unnecessarily many packets.

I recently learned that in Polish, "nagle" can mean "all at once" - not pronounced the same, but still a cute coincidence!
In addition names have another huge accessibility advantage: they are easy to translate. using pedantic suffixes for precise meanings sometimes means that some languages run out of variants

I haven't had to use privacyduck for myself but I'm willing to give them a qualified endorsement based on the testimony of people I know who have used their service and said they were quite dedicated rather than just being an easy cash shakedown.

That said if they're more useful if you have reason to expect you're going to be doxxed. If it has already happened and your info found its way onto the dark web then you've got bigger problems.

Luckily that's not the OP's situation, but for a person who finds themselves unwillingly in the public eye and whose information has been exposed to malicious actors it's a difficult judgment call. If they're experiencing such harassment as to fear for their physical safety, that requires a lawyer's help, and probably involves moving home setting up a shell company to manage financial affairs/bills/property titles. That would generally be enough to shield one from inquiries other than law enforcement, but is obviously going to be very expensive. I'm not qualified to advise anyone on the specifics of how to go about that.

If you don't have such resources, think about moving - not so easy to track if you sublet - and most important, change your phone number. Switch to a pay-as-you-go service and use gift cards to develop a parallel financial identity. Your phone # is the biggest giveaway, followed by bills and property records. That won't hide you from private detectives or professional snoopers but will be sufficient to avoid an internet hate machine.
What institution? Wells, Bank of America, and a handful of boutique lenders in the Bay Area all recently stated they can’t offer anything below three.
I would encourage looking into the term "arrested development" to get some perspective on what Americans feel about living with your parents. We are strong believers in independence and learning who you are through your own path. That's why we take such great pride in our diversity of culture and personalities.

Living at home stunts that development and everyone else is worse off because we don't get the benefits of what unique things that person(not their parents) could have contributed to the greater society.
See this is the part that scares me the most when it comes to climate change. For the rest of the issues like water level rising, weather changes and related food scarcity there are models, research and hypothesis. These frozen viruses over a millenia is a big unknown
In theory, the learning based approach in this blog post could solve this without any architectural changes. They mention predictions spilling to nearby roads, learning the pattern that "if the highway is backed up now, the little road will be too in a few minutes". Once that is baked into the model, Google Maps won't direct (as many) people onto the site road because they would get stuck in the predicted traffic there. The nice thing about this is it also handles the case where other mapping applications direct drivers there, and the "smartest" mapping application will still get you there fastest.
It's really gross to consider simple forums to be social media, but I guess you're right per the definition.

Usenet and IRC are social media. MUDs also social media.

Honest question, I moved out of town for work a week after I graduated. How does that work when you’re dating? No sleepovers, no privacy, having to come home at a respectful time, etc? But maybe my viewpoint is skewed by knowing how my conservative (not the modern version of conservative) parents are.
I'm born in the west to Indian parents and you're right this is common among Indians but I also went this route and met my spouse this way and we are really happy that we have a multigenerational household. It's especially helpful for working women like my wife because my parents are happy to watch kids if needed and we also can learn from them how to take care of kids, and they are happy to have family around, unlike so many their age.

It's a win win win and anytime this is brought up the first thing people say is "Well I could never live with my parents! I had to get out of there" but honestly there's a lot worth tolerating when you're younger if it means that when you're older you have four more helping hands when you are in your early 20s, starting your careers, and having children.
Physical pain? Are you still getting spanked?
What is wrong with this? Multi generational households function better than nuclear families.

Outside of the major cities, houses in New England aren't a great investment. In many states the population is shrinking and property taxes are increasing to compensate.

mask

It's interesting how the virus has caused far more widespread acceptance of wearing a mask in public, something that would arouse suspicion only a year ago. Covering most of your face no longer causes others to notice you.
Depends. My wife moved in with my elderly (I was born late), widowed parent and I right after our wedding because there was no way I could leave them to fend for themselves after everything they'd done for me. My in-laws even encouraged it. It definitely wasn't the most romantic proposition but it hasn't stopped me from putting a ring on it.
How many 18 year olds graduate from high school and immediately get jobs which allow them to move out on their own? Even though 30% of high school grads don’t go to college, I imagine very few of those move out of their parents house until at least a few years later.
Never understood this. Just go out to meet your friends rather than have them over. Also hopefully your life isn't so far away from what your parents wanted you to live like.
Not sure if this is a good comparison. For SAT, GRE you need to know a word innately, be able to use it in a proper context, understand homonyms, distinguish between similar words and know which one to use in the given prompt etc.

Yes, this does involve remembering long lists of words, but there is a lot of context and I would consider this proper language learning. It is vastly different from the memorization referred to in the article.
Let’s not get lost in a terrible metaphor that has nothing to do with scientific reality

What’s wrong with demanding tech addicted randos check their privilege given a scientific reality of both a pandemic and the ease at which these gadgets can influence decisions?

Is that not offering alternatives? Oh sure maybe the most cynical, but it’s nonetheless an alternative option.

Why is avoiding a blunt conversation so taboo? In a forum where open debate of all ideas is supposedly allowable, in a community largely built originally by a nation where free speech is supposedly the holiest of holies? Would the open web have worked in China or much of the rest of the world in the prior decades?

What is the goal with the rhetorical circles and shallow emotional boosting except to continually exist in Saturday morning cartoon levels of concern and maturity for reality outside of ones own immediate attention?

Startup types are a statistical minority of the human doer market. Take it on the chin that mathematically you’re ultimately as important as the child political prisoners we ignore.

I can't speak to everyone, but a lot of young people need to leave their parents' house because it's in a region without a lot of good employment. Some people grow up in rural or rustbelt areas.

For example: my parents don't live on a farm, but their house is between a corn field and a forest. The only work in the vicinity is farm labor, local gov, or retail/service. I guess a remote job could be an option, but their only internet option is slow unreliable DSL (cuts out every 20-30 minutes, phone company unable to diagnose the issue).

The nearest city is about a half hour away. It's relatively small, but does have some opportunities. No tech scene though, of course. There are a couple of small factories remaining, some banking/insurance business, hospitals and medical, and more retail/service.

My dad was an electrical engineer, and he had to commute 1+ hours each way to get to his office. Even if I was willing to commute that far, that wouldn't be an option since that company left long ago.

My parents do have an absolutely gorgeous view of a scenic rural valley outside their front windows though, and 100s of acres of forest behind them.
The absolute worst is some thing I can't remember the real name of right now - I thought it was generic programming but it doesn't seem to be it. It doesn't connotate the meaning in the slightest, and even connotated something other than what it was. It was just storing a matrix or array of past return values of a function to reuse. It feels like I'm having a Mandella moment.
I’d say, vote.
> Cool, except people choose to be parents, and when you do that you accept the additional work involved in that.

Yes. That's why parents will get before and afterschool child care, daycare, find a relative, or hire a babysitter to take care of the child(ren), etc. so that they can work. When most if not all of that is taken away, then what do you expect?

Also, keep in mind that other than a relative or public school, you usually have to pay quite a bit of money for these services, but I don't see parents arguing that they should be paid more to compensate for those additional expenses so that their income after expenses is comparable to those who don't have children.
There is a difference between a mathematical object and a formal system. Surely you would not call a differential equation with a given initial condition describing a simple harmonic oscillator along with an initial condition “inconsistent”. Would you call it incomplete? Doing so would seem rather odd seeing as there is exactly one solution (given the initial condition).
And the sense of “incomplete” that the incompleteness theorems are about doesn’t apply to this. I don’t just mean that it isn’t true of it. I mean that it is not an applicable idea. It is like asking what the northernmost point of the color blue is.

People should be careful when trying to apply Gödel’s incompleteness theorems to philosophical questions, as people often do so without really understanding what they say, and, importantly, what they do not say.

Something that may help is to familiarize oneself with Gödel’s _completeness_ theorem.
> But strangely this rather archaic phrase seems to be more common in modern American litterature than in British literature.

There is an interesting phenomenon I've read about where distant colonies, kept isolated from where their language originated, end up sounding more archaic than their home territory. The act of crossing an ocean can serve as a linguistic time capsule and changes made in the homeland don't always propagate.

I've heard this claimed about a few languages:

* Quebec French vs. France. (true to the form of TFA I do not speak French, so I cannot assess this claim.)

* Judaeo-Spanish spoken by expelled Jewish communities vs. Spain. (from what I recall of recordings of the former it did seem like it lacks some phonetic changes that Spain had around the 15th-16th centuries, like [ʒ] and [ʃ] moving to [x], loss of initial /f/ in words like hijo, hablar ... and consequently generally has this almost Portuguese-sounding feel to it. Interestingly these same phonetic changes made it across to Latin American colonies but not to expelled Spanish Jews in Europe)

* American English vs. England. (I've heard this claimed variously, as if to say that Shakespeare spoke with one of today's American accents, and frankly that sounds kind of dubious. But there may be bits and pieces of American English that sound old fashioned across the pond.)

One time at university I was up late working on a math assignment, but couldn't figure out one of the problems. I fell asleep and had a dream in which I came up with the solution. I woke up briefly, wrote down the answer, then fell asleep again.

When I got the assignment back from the TA I had gotten everything correct, except for that problem, which he had marked up with red question marks and exclamation points. I looked at what I had written and found it to be incomprehensible nonsense...
Someone once handed me one of these when I asked for an extension cord, and I didn't notice. I plugged one end of it in, reached around for the other, and copped 240V AC. Luckily the house had an RCD (mandatory here in Australia), so I just ended up with a very sore arm. I was in a basement alone so it could have been very bad.

Male-to-male cables absolutely should not be made up.

Apparently some people make them for plugging caravans in to external power as a sort of hack.

I don’t see kids moving out at 18 and live in dorms become mature. Family is the first classroom for real life. Perhaps there was a time when leaving home meant getting real life experiences, but in this day and age...from school to college to work, everyone is infantalised. Take for example, FAANG employees who expect to be fed, clothed and expect to be ‘taken care’ of...this generation is a complete failure. We are seeing it plainly during this covid crisis. Absolutely helpless and have burnt bridges with family and community in favour of cubicles. I am disappointed. All my tax dollars and hopes wasted on an infant generation.

We do some rather twisted things in medical research. Handing out placebo’s is a critical part of research, but consider what that means for a serious medical condition.

Informed consent is a really big deal, but not a blanket exception for anything. Compensated participation for example is tricky. That’s the kind of issues that make medical ethics a complex subject and there are often difficult choices to be made.
My wife and have two of our children in the early 30s living with us. We're still in the house they were raised in. It's really pretty nice. It's not like we have to "parent" them, and we all know each other about a well as possible.

We're still in the house they grew up in so it's really so familiar that it's not something my wife and I even think as being out of normal. It really doesn't make any sense for them to be paying rent and we've got a pretty sweet setup for hunkering down during this pandemic. We're surrounded by hard core "preppers" here.

But really, it was pretty easy to see this kind of thing coming. It's not like we're in a full blown disaster of epic movie proportions but I think it's fair to say that it's been a lot easier on rural areas and families like where we live than most cities.

We still can't know for sure but things might get tighter before they loosen up and that is when "family" becomes important. It nice to have a "family home" that we can all count on.
Maybe family compounds will make a comeback. 2-3 acres with multiple family homes with a mixture of homesteading and multi generational community of friends and family. Right away, the baby sitting and day care expenses and anxieties will come down. Further post covid, perhaps home schooling micro schools in multigenerational compounds will become a thing. I hope it happens.
One loophole here is that statistical/machine learning analytics tools may still be able to correlate these posts as coming from the same writer.

We should probably also use a tool that just converts our posts into a generic style and remove any personal touches like the usual vocabulary, expressions, punctuation styles someone might use. Is there anything like that out there?
> Now I know a lot of FOSS enthusiasts will be unhappy about the idealistic part of the recommendation

Why would we be unhappy with it? Seems like at least some version of it is FOSS (GNU GPL or AGPL on all the repos I'm seeing).

I ain't familiar with it, though. I've also been reasonably happy with LibreOffice, so I haven't been motivated to look all that hard for alternatives.
China seems intent to start a new space race. It's no coincidence that our Space Force was just created.

Musk was a genius to start SpaceX, or he really timed it right. He's going to get so many federal dollars. It'll probably be worth more than Tesla.
I have 5 18-29 year olds and cannot envision a scenario where anyone in my region could wholly support themselves, using nothing but their k-12 education (eg: no family connections).

Worse is that the above is largely true for most students wrapping up trade schools and 2-4yr degrees. I hope that people working on 8+ year degrees have the insider connections to help them find gainful work - but IDK how realistic that is.

This isn't some recent covid thing; this goes back to at least the 2008 crash.

The main stumbling block of evolutionary psychiatry (psychology?) is that one is always in danger of coming up with ever more clever just-so stories that can never be proven or rejected by experiment but rely on who has the most compelling argument.

The author also makes a grave but subtle misstep when he says “the eye evolved to see” - the eye most decidedly DID NOT evolve to see. The eye evolved and does see but importantly evolution has no intent, it has no goal and it has no purpose. I might sound pedantic but there is an important distinction between “the eye sees” and “the eye was meant to see”.
