Part of the reason might be that (here in South Africa, at least) IUDs are generally not advised for use on nulligravid women. The reason quoted to my partner - there might be other reasons - was that the physical changes of the cervix that come with pregnancy makes IUD insertion less painful.

Also, random anecdatum, best to disregard: I personally know one woman who became pregnant while on Mirena. She was told that it is very unusual, though.
In order for it to be discrimination, it has to be 'unjust' - There is nothing unjust about having larger people pay more because it costs a business more to fly them. If anything, it is unjust that smaller people have to subsidize the cost of others.
This was posted once and killed by user flags [1]. The bar for that is high—it's a strong and genuine community signal. It isn't reasonable to expect that signal to recur on every repost; that would amount to carte blanche for reposts. So it seems fair to treat reposts of flag-killed items as dupes, and we've demoted this post accordingly.

"Why will high Debt-to-GDP or government spending send the economy into a recession?"

You're confusing the short run and the long run. In the long run there are more degrees of freedom. In that context, this quote simply seems to show a lack of imagination. Entities that extremely indebted lack strategic operating flexibility (countries and businesses alike).
True, and I'm sure the fact that we've likely passed peak conventional oil is a contributing factor to the current malaise.

In both cases there was probably a physical underpinning, but economic policies could indeed have helped. In the case of the 70s oil shocks, having more investment capital available allowed more investment in new capacity. Today having more consumer capital available would spur adoption of electric cars, rooftop solar, LED lights, and other consumer next-generation energy technologies that are required to help us shift consumption away from being so dependent on oil.

In other words I think today's energy problems are -- paradoxically -- also a demand problem. We need more demand, not less, to drive the adoption of alternatives.

No matter how effective it is, who wants pointy plastic against muscle inside the body?

Why can't IUDs be spheres or at least something a lot less pointy? Something spherical or much more rounded and with more surface contact with the uterus could have perforations in the surface and lots of copper inside to maximize surface area.

The next problem is getting it through the cervix, but existing IUDs have to get the t-bar through the uterus. Is it so different? Couldn't there be a design that allows a IUD ball or blob to expand once inside the uterus, in a way that can be reversed to extract it, all while not presenting any remotely pointy surfaces to the uterus?
Well that's what most people do -- it's the regularity that allows you to have an intuition. For all the baroqueness, eqrtlk will never be an English word and ghoti will never be pronounced like fish (despite claims to the contrary). I didn't mean to suggest that you should try to learn the rules from a book; I just meant you are wasting effort if you learn the spelling and pronunciation as completely independent items.
I don't think you get what a "dog whistle" is. Everyone calls them entitlements.
Ah! That's what it's called. I remember reading about RISUG/ Vasalgel a few years ago and wondering why there isn't more research on it. Seems like it would be the ideal male contraceptive as it's fast, cheap, reversible, and is effective for a few years.

The whole point of this article is to present a pro-HFT viewpoint. I don't have an opinion either way (yet), but this is clearly written by someone with an HFT bias.
It seems unlikely to me that we're anywhere close to diminishing returns from technology. More likely we're seeing what happens when a system is full of perverse incentives that reward unproductive / destructive behavior.
Roads are (mostly) not free, and also cost millions of (insert currency unit here) which are covered by taxes. In particular, the asphalted road in a residential street occupied without charge by someone's expensive vehicle is being paid for by, among other people, me -- and as a non-car-owner, I gain essentially no benefit from the provision of this parking space. So clearly, we've opted as a society for subsidizing public services -- but only certain services.
I agree technology will save us from the mad max scenario that we repeatedly have read about over the last 5 years. However, it will be interesting to see how the "Technocracy" plays out.
The private debt levels are just as critical as the public debt levels and much higher (although down from their 2008 peak still I think). What is particularly is the total rate of change for public and private debt which heavily dictates the growth levels. When the economy suddenly switches from growing debt at accelerating rates to reducing debts is when the major crash happens.
So the people who can least afford to lose time will avoid congested traffic and lose less time? Sounds like that could work out well.
Honestly, I call it "lack of proper documentation of decisions." It's pretty systemic throughout software engineering, myself included. It's why we seem doomed to "refactor" current solutions, only to end up with the same mess at the end. We see the 80% use-case, think we can do better, then by the time we hit those 20% edge cases, the code is as bad as when we started. This would be avoided if all the decisions and use-cases leading to the current mess were well documented, which would allow people to actually engineer a better solution with all the use-cases, or just leave it alone because they can't.

They exist, but in most towns nobody uses them at all.
My view on Keynesianism is that it's basically been bastardised to the point where it's unworkable. I say that because my understanding is that Keynes originally proposed a system where the government ran a surplus during the "good times" and then ramped up borrowing and spending during the "bad times". This actually makes a great deal of sense because during a recession investors are usually falling over themselves to park money with the government at very low interest rates.

But no modern government seems capable of running a surplus for any length of time. And modern Keynesians have basically done away with the surplus requirement so that you can borrow in the good times and borrow more in the bad...

I'm sure they have academic studies that back up that being possible, the issue is the general public don't believe it and the general public elect the politicians who'll have to implement it.

On the other hand if governments did run a proper surplus during the good years, I think there would be much wider acceptance in the general public for significantly more government spending during recessions. The "Keynesian blast" so to speak.

Given all that, any Keynesian response by modern governments will always fall short of what's required for it to actually work because the voting public don't trust the modern incarnation of it.
If I assumed that, sure. However, I'm not sure that I should. We're now talking about a situation that contains a highly social aspect.

Are you comfortable travelling with others who you don't know? I know many young women would be somewhat uncomfortable about climbing into a vehicle with some random stranger.

Even without that aspect, you've got to be around people you may not get along with. On buses people can mostly keep to themselves, and it's more or less expected; at least in my society; that they will - how much of that would be true in the tighter confines of a car?

And are you prepared to keep to someone else's schedule? A mismatch of five minutes may be more significant than we expect.

I'm not saying it won't happen. What I am saying is that I wouldn't care to make a strong commitment to the idea that in twenty five years or so most people won't have a car, or that there'll be fewer cars on the road. I can easily imagine a future in which most people decide that it's worth owning a car, even a self-driving one, for the privacy and convenience aspects.

These documents have just now been disclosed. This is a huge scandal that should give us immense pause in considering future interventions in Iraq. I'm completely positive that we don't know the whole story, nor the full extent of the corruption involved. If private contractors are running the show for their own benefit, as seems likely from the circumstances of this fiasco, then we cannot trust our armed forces to give us recommendations on strategy for dealing with ISIS/The Islamic State.
I don't think that comes from where you think it does. I think it comes from the fact that people are literally entitled to that money via the legal contract we've set up - it is spoken for.

healthcare innovation requires enormous investment. How should society pick healthcare problems to focus on, and how will we know a solution when we see it?

Well, it's "new" in the same way that HTML5 is new. It's been around for a few years.

The last time period that I played around with it was when iOS 3 was out, and it was horribly buggy (if you failed to download all of the things listed in the cache in the first go, then it would break and would refuse to ever try again). By iOS 4 it was less broken, but still weird.

Since it's been out there for a while it would probably be difficult to remove. Because of its brokenness I doubt that it ever got much usage, but there is probably some people out there that rely on it.

What I hope is that after ServiceWorker is better supported, someone can build out the old AppCache behaviour in JavaScript using the ServiceWorker APIs, and then we can use that for compatibility and remove AppCache from the browser itself.

How the 'PayPal Mafia' redefined success in Silicon Valley
There are a couple ways to view this. By covering "essential services" you really are just guaranteeing a lot of inflation in those sectors (they are now on a fixed minimum income as a group). Some would argue that many of the same cost run-ups we've seen in university education (with government loans and other programs) will affect those essential service sectors in the same way.

One of the benefits of a basic income is that it serves as a really effective wealth redistribution program. It is partly a social safety net, but it's also something that can potentially give the economy as a whole a boost thanks to a lot of spending on the bottom (as opposed to income hoarding at the top).

I'm not sure I agree with those positions. I think I lack enough knowledge of economics to form a good opinion. I have definitely seen both of those arguments made in support of a simple basic income, however.

You can probably source a good used one through respiratory therapists either privately or at a hospital. When someone passes away these are typically thrown out. (After a certain amount of time they don't get returned to medicare or something like that.)

I'm surprised it took so long to start doing this.
I like to look at the objective facts that are very hard to spin. There aren't many of them, but you can make a lot of hay with them. "We tried not including this thing, and it didn't work, and then we put them in, and it did work" is a very powerful argument, since I value reality and real things over any amount of handwaving and theory. That's something that can't so much be spun as rebutted, hence my phrasing. (For instance, perhaps it's simply a lie. I don't know.)

(The Great (Psuedo-)Intellectual Temptation is to privilege theory over facts. It is not a path that leads to anything useful, but it sure is a popular one.)

If government debt grows high enough then an increasingly large percentage of federal spending will be devoted to paying interest on that debt rather than on arguably more useful areas which create future prosperity, such as education and scientific research.

After a certain point this becomes unsustainable and bad things start to happen, ranging from total political & economic collapse (Germany in the 1920s) to hyperinflation (Zimbabwe) to, in the best of the worst case scenarios, a large default/restructuring and subsequent downgrading of a country's debt to junk status (Argentina in the 2000s).

As F.A. Hayek, Milton Friedman and numerous other economists have written, government spending tends to be more inefficient than the free market because the government isn't constrained by profits and losses, which are society's way of indicating whether a company is producing goods and services that are valuable and desired. Of course, there are some goods and services that only the government can provide well, and the current left-right political divide is largely a debate over the point at which government taxation and spending becomes undesirable and inefficient. However, it's undeniable that at a certain level (almost certainly a level below our current level of spending in my opinion) each marginal dollar the government sucks out of the economy is used less efficiently than it would have been used if it remained in private hands.
Sorry I misinterpreted your question! Just a little background -- the reason symptoms-based works is because it's only possible to conceive for ~12-24 hours per cycle. The uterus can sustain sperm for a period of ~2-5 days, so if there's no sperm in the uterus for this ~6 day period, pregnancy is not possible. There are several indicators that signal the beginning of this period: basal body temperature, cervical mucus consistency, and cervical position. To get the best readings, however, these measurements need to be taken immediately after waking up. Moreover, you need a long period of readings (> 6 months) in order to be able to correctly interpret the measurements. I'm assuming that perfect use in this context consists of taking these measurements consistently over a period of at least six months.
I agree, but this press release misleads the public into thinking their data at Facebook is more secure and private than it really is.
>> I'm not clear on how any of this will lead to a recession.

Here are some reasons:
1) if government spending is half of GDP that means any increase in non-government economic activity will only have half the effect it otherwise could (with zero govt contribution) this works both ways though, but more importantly it means government spending is critical to the economy.
2) Debt is high, so there is a LOT of pressure to reduce govt spending, which would directly (negatively) affect GDP in the short term - see 1, gov spending is 0.5 of GDP.
3) Any rise in interest rates will result in 2 (the alternative is to just increase the debt). To spend more in interest, you have to spend less elsewhere.
4) If we get inflation (and they're trying really hard) they'll want to keep it low by raising interest rates, resulting in 2 (see 3).

Just read it, very interesting. I just have a fear of the economy and dollar collapsing and life as we know it going to shit since the whole world is so dependent on us. I don't have a very solid basis for this fear, but that's the nature of many fears (I saw someone on Maury with a fear of pickles). Just hearing bad news all the time about the direction this country is going makes it loom in the back of my head.

I've done something a bit similar on Lump.co, but I'm using Workflowy as a CMS there instead of Google Docs.

I basically shove whatever random lists of things I need to manage into a shared Workflowy list and then point some server-side PHP at it. It has some crude memcache support and conventions for formatting the content and stuff.

It's handy because it makes it really easy to manage those "extra things" that most people don't have time to model in a CMS: sidebar links, footer text, meta descriptions, etc. If something requires a more functional UI or deeper forms of manipulation, I'll build whatever custom admin UI I need.

Plus, I'm already in Workflowy 24x7 anyway, so it makes updating my site a breeze.

At least until Workflowy changes their internal API endpoints, which will break everything. :)

If anyone wants to know more I'd love to talk about it or share the code.
Agreed. I'm kind of amazed that nothing dramatically better than Bash has come along on *nix (sure Zsh is better but only incrementally so). It seem like we could create a command line oriented programming language that would be miles ahead of Bash by incorporating the last 25 years of language design. I would love a shell with the following:

- Real functions instead of having to use 'echo' to return values

- Parsing script params also defines autocompletion (think completion parser combinators such as those found in SBT (Simple Build Tool))

- Support for FRP (funtional reactive programming) would make interacting with streams and sockets much easier

- Support for JSON streams as well as plain text

Maybe one day I will finally get the time to write such a shell.
My suggestions:

2) Follow a consistent schedule.
3) Follow a consistent routine to prepare for sleep.
3a) Turn off screens well before bed.
4) Learn and follow relaxation/self-hypnosis scripts.

I've learned a lot about sleep from observing my baby daughter. Good sleep is easiest on top of good sleep; a tired brain usually has more, not less, trouble falling asleep. If my daughter misses her nap, she is more hyper and harder to settle down at bedtime. If she gets a nice long nap, she also is calmer at bedtime and falls asleep more easily.

I've had terrible sleep habits most of my life, and it's only now that I'm a parent that I can appreciate how powerful a consistent schedule and routine can be.
Could be useful to use a public ?showhn=N param, so that the info of how many times one has posted is publicly available?
I never had a problem falling asleep but I kicked my daily morning cup of coffee and I can't believe how much energy I have. I used to feel a little fuzzy when I first woke up until I had my coffee but now I wake up so full of energy and feel great. I never realized just how negative caffeine is on your energy level.
We can do better, though. For example, if poor people are hit harder by something, there might be less "price signal" than if a few rich people are sick.
Yet, the car company who is bringing electric to the masses is the likes of Nissan.

Even how software is made via things like lean software development, scrum, and some agile practices are rooted in the Toyota production system.

Companies like Toyota in their very culture is lean, not bloated.

Even Google, despite all the diverse projects, only knows how to make money one way. Toyota group is far more diverse.

Also car companies in japan are heavily invested in robots. So there is plenty of disruptive tech happening there.
