Asian immigrant parents produce just as many problematic first-generation asian kids. The middle-upper class asian bubble of a community I grew up in may have seemed affluent, filled with polite and studious kids, but the undercurrents of bored, overachieving, over-pressured teens lost to gangs and drugs are never talked about.

The asian kids that do come out hardworking and studious from our tiger parents are not all rainbows and sprinkles either, as many are stunted in emotional development and social communication due to the extreme discipline and pressure we had to deal with growing up.

Lastly, and most ironically, asian immigrant parents always push their kids to be the best, and being "good enough" is never enough. The pressure to achieve, the detached politeness of the traditional asian culture -- there are plenty of cracks that a misguided teenager could fall into.

"Good enough" can be applied to job, money, work, and any other tangible thing. But humans and emotions make the world go 'round, and when you have the future of an innocent, malleable human being in your hands, there is no such thing as "good enough" parenting. That is the entire dilemma being discussed here for women - compromising to be "good enough" at work so that they can be "good to the best of their ability" for their children. Not the other way around.
The SRBs don't just impose higher operational complexity, but also far higher acoustic load that requires much higher structural strength and therefore weight on everything else.
> What's good enough for the kids may not be good enough for the parents.

That's certainly true, but orthogonal to what I'm talking about. It's one thing to downshift your career because you want to spend more time with your kids. It's another thing to do so because you tell (incorrectly) that working long hours is "not compatible with family life." My objection is to people who justify downshifting because of imagined benefits to the kids, not real benefits to themselves.

“Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11,” Bloomberg said.

The world is generally safer now than at almost any previous time, particularly for those of us that remember the Cold War and the early-mid 1980s, when even these measures weren't required to avoid mutually-assured destruction (MAD) by two super-powers and their proxies. The only people wanting to limit freedom are politicians in the pocket of those wanting to expand the myriad of security services of the state. This feeds into the projected paranoia of those citizens who fail to understand the true cost, chance, or opportunity of reducing terrorist activities. Of course there has to be an attempt to reduce terrorist activities, but its the internal processes and procedures in place currently between the myriad network of security services which need to be reformed drastically, not the further expansion of those security services or the reduction in freedoms.

Terrorism is an issue of public security, while before 1991 the Soviet Union (for the Western world at least) was an issue of national security. Issues of public security need to be treated as such, not over-inflated and treated incorrectly. This helps support the terrorists, not defeat them, as has been shown in almost every internal urban civil conflict in the past hundred years.

"Because it's hard" is a cop-out.

"It's too hard to accomplish given constraint [X]" where X is a deadline, financial constraints, or other real/tangible resource limitations might be one thing. But if you're working on your own timeline on some sort of open-source project, or there is nothing external preventing you from acquiring the expertise/resources to conquer the hard problem, then "Because it's hard" is an absolutely shitty excuse to not do something.
>if you have a buggy codebase, you focus on fixing the bugs, not dividing your time equally among all the mostly-already-functional bits.

I was actually really excited by the "...you can get the next 9 posts delivered to your email by signing up here:" at the bottom. I like it. I like email, because I can read it anywhere and filter it any way I want. I dislike unsubscribing from email updates about as much as I dislike getting updates I'll never read. By making it easy to get emailed only about a story I've already demonstrated interest in (by reading all the way through), you've made sure I'll come back for your next 9 posts.

I'd like to see more people use something like this.

Or, if I've misunderstood how this works...well, the concept was exciting.

It's often a great excuse to do something else instead. If you can't get what you need done without the more difficult option, sure do it. But there's no sense in going down the harder path needlessly.

There was a simplified version of it on IOI 2004 (http://olympiads.win.tue.nl/ioi/ioi2004/contest/day2/phidias...) which asked to cut the room by a series of horizontal and vertical cuts. At the end each of remainder blocks can either be fully covered by predefined set of fixed-dimension panels or thrown away. The problem asked to minimize what we throw away. It was solvable using DP due to the fact that cuts are always split the room into separate parts.

You're welcome. I forgot to say that the best way (IMHO) to tell "baby blues" from full-blown post-partum depression is sleep. After a weekend of you or your family taking a lot of the night shift where your wife has gotten good chunks of uninterrupted sleep, if she is still deeply blue with funk, anger or depression it could be more serious. If not, she just needs more nighttime breaks during the week.

I am a male and I feel disadvantaged compared to females.

My average life expectancy in the United States is 75.35 years. Female life expectancy is 80.51 years. I can expect to miss out on over 5 years of life as compared to females. This would be the time I would expect to spend as a grandparent. It means I will miss out on a significant portion of my grandchildren's lives. I will probably not see my great grandchildren. Additionally, because of this life expectancy issue I never met one of my grandfather's. The second was experiencing late stage dementia by the time I was old enough to communicate with him. Thus, as a male child I never was able to share the experience or gain examples that female children had with their grandmother's.

Your comment only makes sense if you assume that everyone always does the smartest thing -- which seems not to be the case.
"Before the Chrome save button"? What does that even mean? Half the time I see people praising Chrome it's because of something thoroughly mundane, like an address bar, or saving files, or links. Did you guys browse the web using potatoes before you got Chrome, or what?
what could possibly go wrong with that?

Yes, what? If you think about it like a SciFy movie, it is guaranteed to result in a gigantic, walking plant, smarter than a human, which wants to destroy us all. Also ghosts some how.

If you actually think about it, than the chances of those 30 characters, being something which will help the plant survive and thrive in the wild, are tiny. Virtually non existent.

Any one currently thriving wild plant has a better chance of mutating itself in that way. Any current wild plant could become an invasive species by sticking one of its seeds the the shoe of a human getting on a plane.

People way overestimate the chances of bio-engineering to create anything truly dangerous. And people way underestimate the chances of the regular old all natural flu to kill a huge percentage of humanity in any given year.

I thought this was the most brutal critique out of all of the attacks, high brow and low, that I've seen of Sheryl Sandberg and her book.

"And third, I have to wonder if Sandberg does not realize that she is going to die someday. There is so little life and pleasure in her book outside of work. Even sex is framed as something that men will get more of if they pitch in and help their working wives."

As a guy, that is about the worst thing someone could say to me because it means even if I have accomplished an immense amount I have done so without any meaning. In a sense, I have been fooled and deceived in to doing all that I have done for a mere unreachable carrot on a string.
Maybe I should have put 'someone' in quotes, because I literally meant someone and not "someone with heavy implicit leanings towards the project creators."
I'd be interested to hear how you marketed the app. Just building an app seems to be only half (or less) of the battle these days, as far as App Store success goes.

> Keys are additional credentials, so they don't add any security by themselves. You have remove a password from an account (set unusable password).

Keys add security if you turn off password based logins (this is done in sshd_config - you don't need to mess about with the users passwd)

> However, there are rare cases where you need to access the server from some remote location, when you don't have your SSH private key at hand, and the only credentials you can use, are the those you keep in your head.

> Obviously, the most important requirement is a strong password, but protecting against brute-force won't hurt.

You're point about not having private keys to hand is a very valid one; and why I opt for fail2ban ssh rules against password logins on my own personal servers. But the strength of keys compared to passwords does make key based authentication a good measure against brute force attacks (purely in terms of the time line to to crack a key)
The Productivity Challenge Part 2: The Conclusion
Sure, PCI DSS.
Two other points to consider:

Atmosphere is slowing you down as you go up as well, so lift off requires fighting that as well. Therefore the energy you've expended is not entirely stored in potential energy. (Fun fact: If it weren't for the atmosphere, rockets would actually take off almost horizontally. They go up at first to get out of the thickest air before going sideways.)

The craft is much lighter, because it no longer has the payload, and also has used almost all of its fuel.
I do not believe this can be something which you could use to read by. Light takes a lot of energy and biology does not waste energy. And plants don't even have the metabolism of a fly. This is very neat. I'll probably donate enough to get seeds. But I do not believe it is a light bulb replacement.

People might say "if you care about black children in poverty then what about white children in poverty" but people almost never say that to black people. It's always a statement of policy in general terms, not a targeted criticism to black proponents of a policy.

In other words, people might think that we as a society need to care about poor white kids as much as poor black kids, but nonetheless black people generally don't need to make excuses about caring more about black children than white children. Nobody accuses them of secretly thinking that blacks are better for doing so.
