> So basically, you have to have more money than sense to want to own this camera. I get it.

That seems less fair as a judgement on the T than the M*s, though. As lips said https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8187669 , the much lower price point probably makes a significant difference. There have to be a significant number of amateurs who a) genuinely love taking photos, b) can afford to spend about $2k on a camera that is a pleasure to use and makes them look stylish, and c) don't really need the very best DSLR performance that that money could buy. If buying an M7 is like a trust-fund playboy buying an F350 for the occasional weekend joyride, buying a T is possibly more like a professional buying an Audi for his regular commuting: certainly not the most cost-efficient solution, but still a reasonable answer to a practical need.
Please let me know where all these kids who love school are.

Besides, it doesn't matter what your schooling is as much. Someone who has rich parents and a high school diploma has a higher income than someone with poor parents and a college degree.

Also, you can educate yourself for free on the Internet. I learned more this way than I did in college.
Mind if I add some sound to that?

But I built a sanitizer in a couple hours with this lib, and it seems to work pretty well.

The only unexpected thing is that it converts the ordinal indicator º to o in addresses. Luckily there are only a handful I need to fix.

Oh, they exist. They're smack in the middle of the IQ standard distribution curve, that part of the curve for which the educational system was designed. They don't have to be dissuaded from original thoughts, or curiosity, or a tendency to question what they're taught, because these are inbred instincts.
http://www.rotten.com/library/history/nazi/

The mistake often made in describing the crimes and actions of the Third Reich is to somehow dehumanize them, turn all the players into demons and monsters, the same techniques used by the Nazis themselves to target and exterminate Jews and other undesirables. To dehumanize Nazis is to turn them into archetypes as opposed to functioning humans; it sets us up to be "surprised" again when traits of the Nazis show up elsewhere, in other places, at a lessened level but with the same misguided goals and logic behind them.

Stalinism???

More seriously the claim was xxxism doesn't send people to concentration camps, this was responded to by counter examples. This is a perfectly reasonable response and disproof of the claim that xxxism doesn't send people to concentration camps. It was not a standalone claim that xxxism leads to concentration camps which may need to be supported as you wish.

I know the ideology wasn't xxx but exactly what it is isn't important to the point I was making.

I'm not sure you should be allowed to call "probability" a number that can fall outside the [0,1] range (Or even the ]0,1[ range).

Without even reading the paper, I'm pretty sure it doesn't talk about probabilities, but about some related notion.

The kids at my school who were average didn't love school. They'd rather be playing outside. What school did you go to?
I think you're making my point for me. Kids of above average intelligence with the right parents can do well with unschooling, but then they also do well with regular schooling. A kids educational outcome would become linked to that of their parents and other adults in their environment, even more so than is currently the case.

In fact it's worse than that , because as soon as one generation messes up because for example a parent develops a mental health issue there is no mechanism for fixing the next generation.
Yes, just like guns don't kill people, people do. Especially people who believe in -isms.

People justify their actions with -isms and theses and society often accepts those justifications. You can always say the -ism isn't to blame, because the person would have probably found another suitable -ism to justify their actions anyway.

The mistake a lot of people make is assuming that political leaders actually believe in ideologies (-isms), rather than assuming they just manipulate them for their own gain. Most politicians will flip-flop on any stance if their constituents demand it.
Genocide, as defined by the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, is any of the following acts committed with INTENT to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group:

killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

The intent is important, no matter what you might believe. That's why the killings in Srebrenica were recognized as genocide, even though "only" 8000 civilians were killed. It does not matter if 10 million or 10 thousand are killed, the intent is all that matters.

What follows is that the starvation caused by Maos policies were not a genocide, no matter how many people died, simply because the government didn't intend to kill all Chinese systematically. Quite to the contrary, they seriously believed that collectivization would end the starvation that has plagued China for decades.

The same applies to most deaths caused by Stalins regime. In some cases there was genocide going on, but the largest part of the victims of his regime were due to failed economic policies (starvation) and political persecution.

Whereas Hitlers policy was to exterminate ethnical or religious groups he deemed worthless, like the Jews, the Slavs, the Roma and many more. He clearly had the intention to exterminate those groups, he even stated it publicly.

I wonder if hitler is studied in political sciences.

Especially his speeches, rhetorics and strategies, and why they worked out how they did.

I hate to feel that hitler is somehow still a little controversial today. I don't really want to watch his speeches or read what he was saying because it's a little depressing and painful to think about, but understanding how he politically convinced people, and the underlying causes.

We're safe from that today, but I'd still like to understand how we protected ourselves from that happening again.

When times are changing it always help to have a fresh look at what you are doing instead of rehashing the same thing over and over again. Japan is not reflecting at all upon that, and yeah, I do think the education system is a huge part of the problem over here. It does not encourage forward thinking at all.

Book recommendations and tastes are very personal.

I suspect that if you're not specifically looking for technical books you'd be better off looking at the common lists of 100 most popular books, or similar.

And it is completely unimaginable that such a city would die this way (unless it were destroyed in a war).

That simply isn't true. There are a number of similar sized European cities shrinking - although not quite at the same dramatic rate. For example, Miskolc (in Hungary) has shrunk from 186K to 168K since 2000, and there are a number of other cities with similar problems[1].

Another example which is more directly comparable is the former oil shale mining town of Kohtla-Järve in Estonia. In 1980 it had a population of 90,000 while today it is 37,000[2].

Please note, I'm not arguing your overall point, I agree with it completely. This comment is really just nit-picking over terminology.

I'm pretty sure that Stalin has been post-categorized into the "Left-Wing" camp as he stood for "Socialism".

That one label is about the only thing about Stalin that could be classified as "Left-Wing". There has been an enormous amount of jostling amongst all "Left-Wing" political parties (globally) since then in order to differentiate themselves from Stalin.

"Socialism" is now very different from Stalin's view of it, just as "Liberalism" has now been watered down to mean anyone who isn't on the extreme right.

Arguing left vs right is not the way to view this problem. Seeing through the emotive labels and debates, and analyzing the actual behaviour will show you that personal power is the driving motivator, not any political ideology.

According to Plato "The measure of a man is what he does with power". Most of our world leaders at the moment aren't measuring up.
You'd still get far more social interaction than what unschooling would get you.
I do not want to make any pro or contra immigration statement, but I think your premise is wrong. We should all get used to shrinking. We had Growth for the last centuries, if not millennia, now it looks like that has come to an end, and that is not necessary a bad thing. Japan is in this regard already living in the future, a future that will come of Europe and North America soon, and to the rest of the world a little later.

Nice writeup. I hadn't looked at Phoenix yet.

It seems that many Elixir people come from Ruby. One thing we should be wary of is making shallow ports of Ruby concepts into Elixir, when there's much more elegant approaches available. We, software engineers, have a tendency of doing this: for example, there's a whole bucketload of C# libraries that have Java roots (NHibernate, Spring.NET), and every single one of them is a bloated piece of nonsense that doesn't make good use of C#'s strengths. We should avoid making Elixir a Ruby-on-Erlang when it has the potential to be so much more.

I haven't figured out yet to what extent Phoenix does this, but this blog post highlights some things that make me wonder.

For instance, the router confuses me. Is there any point in making an explicit router over just splitting the URL by "/" into a list and then just pattern matching on that?

e.g.

def get(["users", user], _params) do
# show stuff
end

def post(["users"], _params) do
# store stuff
end

def get([], _params) do
# show root page
end

Is Phoenix's routing somehow more powerful than that, for reasons that I'm missing, or is it just a Rails-ism blatantly ported over to Elixir?

I don't think this is a coal mining town, but Sonneberg is used as an example in [1] of a town which seems to be having similar problems:

Heiko Voigt, the deputy mayor here, can point out dozens of vacant homes that he doubts will ever be sold. The reality is that the German population is shrinking and towns like this one are working hard to hide the emptiness. Mr. Voigt has already supervised the demolition of 60 houses and 12 apartment blocs, strategically injecting grassy patches into once-dense complexes.

I was "home educated" - the typically British middle ground. Not "home school" (school at home) and not unschooling. But self-educated / family educated at home, for the whole of highschool level. We'd just moved country, and didn't want to jump into a new school system straight away. It worked pretty well for us. I spent a lot of time learning to program and play music, I joined a local drama group, played in the church band, the town marching band, and taught myself to juggle. My brother did loads of piano, singing, and IT stuff. He's now working as the IT and music teacher at a local private school (after having gone on to do his BA and MA in Theology, as well as a teacher-training certificate), and I'm working as in a non-profit doing all kinds of things. We decided, my brother, my parents, and I, to use a curriculum for a few years, which allowed us to get International Baccalaureate equivalents, which was useful for my brother with going on to Uni, but useless to me. We learned a lot of useful stuff though.

I learned all the sine / cosine stuff around age 10, as I was trying to write a computer game and needed to move things around circles, so asked my mum about it, who asked her friends on the home-educating-parents email list, and eventually someone helped. (This being in the late 90s). I wanted to learn it, so I did. I can still remember everything I need to know about those because it was interesting to me at the time. I never learned to spell at school. I was awful, always in the lowest group in class. Until I wasn't doing spelling tests, and just writing on my own at home on the computer, and kept getting annoyed at the little red squiggle under half my words. My brain eventually learned it was quicker and less distracting to my writing to learn the correct spellings rather than having to go back and correct them.

I do think a certain amount of "education" is required for a sensible life. Reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, etc. But once you've learned to read, and if you've had a love of books instilled into you, you'll probably pick up most stuff you really want to learn along the way. And there's no real reason to force any of those skills at any particular age. My brother learned to read at about 3 and a half, as I was learning in kindergarten, he decided to too. I have another friend who simply wasn't interested, and didn't learn until about 8 and a half. But then he learned to read and write in about 2 months flat.

Kids are all different. Public education was a brilliant, wonderful institution to help move millions of families out of poverty and enforced unskilled labour. But once you've moved a society out of that state, education needs to be much less of a "life support" type system, and become more of a individualised therapy / explorative / personal journey.
Just fair warning, most of the people who are responding to you in disagreement have never actually met a un/homeschooled person / person's parents in real life.

The reason why unschooling is so bad is entirely social. Homeschooled kids are crippled socially.

It sounds good, feels good, etc. but once you actually see it with your own eyes it makes sense why this hasn't caught on.
I think is it a lot easier to convince people what they are doing is ok or not so bad, if it is "legalized" by law. NSA also insists that everything they do is covered by the law or at least their secret interpretation.
It's easy to make a point when you make up your own premises. I never swore or fought in high in class but i did skip class.
