> ...parasitic life

That's quite judgmental. They really are rich stay-at-home moms and it's a worthy life.

Feminism was not about forcing a new lifestyle. It's about giving the freedom to choose the path.
>What happened to the sense of duty that comes from filial piety and love?

Probably got mashed up in the potential divorce court paperwork.

What I'm really curious about is how you come to negotiate such terms and how that conversation plays out, but it really wouldn't surprise me if both sides approached the marriage in rational, economic terms and enjoyed that approach.
> Surely you would need to use soap and use your hand, which doesn't seem to be very sanitary...

You can wash yourself with soap, and then wash your hands (which you should do in any case). I don't see how you can think that leaving all that the TP doesn't take away can be _more_ sanitary than a bidet.
Yes, please to basic income. Economic dependency is a problem for both women and men. Many people stay in unhappy and unhealthy relationships because of money, and many people stay in jobs that they hate and that are harmful to society because of money.
I think of all countries the Netherlands will have worked out the legal side of creating new land - haven't they been doing it for about 1000 years?
It may or may not be, but youtube is the worst place to try and explain it.
apt-rpm has been around for more than a decade, and was considered for Fedora back in the day (it lost out due to a combination of lack of multilib support back then, and considerations over complexity). Last time I used Fedora it was available in the repository and worked just fine - I always preferred it over yum, despite also preferring RPM over Deb.
I'd honestly rather they just fix the UI for it so it's not so incredibly easy to vote the wrong way on mobile, because that's really the only place I have this problem.

Even worse, once you vote the UI doesn't even show which way you voted. Half the time I vote on mobile I don't even know if I voted the right way.
true, but if you add the words TAX infront of the word law then those same words ring a much different perspective.

Though not the finest hour in word choice; The old idiomatic antithesis "The letter of the law versus the spirit of the law" is in effect what he probably meant.
I know of no definition of "oppressed" that applies to these women, and calling them so does a disservice to those who truly are. Even if they were, there is no evidence of fraud or coercion, so we must conclude the exchange (marriage) is, at least, mutually beneficial.
Fifty Shades of Grey Crazy in Love Workout
I just want to say that there are two perspectives expressed in response to this comment. One is the idea that pleasure in life comes from starting out abstract (e.g. with abstract goals) and finding more specific things to enact those goals. The other is the idea that pleasure in life comes from starting out concrete (e.g. pooping, eating, quenching thirst, etc).

The first idea is wrong, the second idea is right.

But from those concrete things you build up more and more abstract. The more abstract things gain meaning (bring pleasure) from the less abstract things.

As a primitive man, you feel cold and want to be warm, so you build a fire. Then you build a house. Then you kill an animal and make a warm coat. Then you build a better bow. Then you learn how to hunt better. Then you start planning years ahead. You move to better hunting grounds, you start saving up firewood, etc. That is the primitive man's version of a career; the same applies to a modern career.

However, you can't reduce the value of the more abstract things to the less abstract things. Saving up firewood is not reducible to the sum of warm nights you get as a result. It has its own, separate meaning. But that meaning is only possible because of the less abstract things.

Relatedly, people are wrong to say that life is pointless. The point is the pleasure and pain you feel. Meaning is derived from pleasure and pain. Nature gave us a source of meaning---that had to be the case for advanced life to evolve, and it's pleasure and pain.

tl;dr 1) values are built from the ground up, not the top down 2) values are based on pleasure and that is the "point"

Very impressive technology. This is just the beginning of leveraging the massive amounts of data out there in innovative new ways.
Simple explanation. He did plug in to the system. He did not issue commands against a live system, but did look around. The actual manipulation occurred offline in a test environment at a different time and place.

The extravagant claims were maliciously taken out of context by the agent in order to secure whatever he wanted from a judge, trump up charges, and making it sound as if there was some dire urgency to expedite due process and rational thought.

I don't actually know anything about this case, but have seen this happen with virtually every warrant document or indictment related to computer "crime". They're an adversarial exercise in sales to further the author's agenda, not an impartial document aimed at ensuring justice.

Now his lawyer is telling him to STFU, but he's being mischaracterized in the court of public opinion.
Definitely RoR. I've used both professionally for years, and I'm never going back to the Microsoft stack. Really brief summary: everything on a good RoR stack is hackable. That makes a huge difference.
Fair enough! Good reminder that no matter how much things suck, they really can always get worse.
Your own quote shows that this tweet is a fringe attack against a theme in feminism - it is a counter against 'choice feminism'. It's clearly a statement by a edge concept against a central theme.

>If "most feminists" believe choice is the key freedom, they better speak out or risk being drowned out.

Indeed, also in your link is the quote (in only the second paragraph): "Read almost any online article about feminism and the comments will soon devolve into a debate about choice.". It seems that the feminists are already doing what you're demanding, but you're... ahem... choosing to ignore them to make your point.

Anyway, if you read the article, it says the same thing that your quoted section does - that choice itself isn't bad, but that it should stop being used as the 'ultimate arbiter', including examples where the author considers 'but it's her choice' to be undermining feminism. She doesn't say 'choice' is bad, but her argument is to stop having 'choice' used as a trump card.
The problem is the visibility of comments changes their potential for future upvotes or downvotes. If you have a comment sitting on top of a thread, it will get much more visibility and opportunities for a statistically good sample of upvotes and downvotes. But if you downvote a comment and relegate it to the bottom (or gasp, the faded out text), then it can be very difficult for it to recover.

A more out-of-the-box solution to all of these problems is to have both comment order and story order be probabilistic rather than absolute, which could help guarantee everything enough visibility to get the fair compliment of upvotes/downvotes. But then again that is much more complicated than other potential solutions (assuming the problem is even large enough to care to fix).
This may illuminate the discussion somewhat:

Productivity is not the amount of work you produce it is how fast and well you achieve your goals. Worth remembering that too.
This "DBT" idea seems like it's just a specific implementation of "CBT." Not something to contrast with "CBT".
This has been my takeaway too.
I have seen the source code for some large prime generation algos... and they all have a test / verify stage which checks for divisibility by primes upto about a million (or billion), and the prime is then tested against the Miller-Rabin test.

My first reaction after reading this article was that, either they are using a bad version of a self authored prime generation algo, or keys are corrupted.

The guys who wrote the large prime generating algos are very well aware of your concerns (and share them too). I think you should not be too hasty in doubting these 'sophisticated algorithms'. One should probably verify that such issues exist in the prime generating algo, before we start calling one of our best mathematicians/programmers as incompetent.

Parasitism in general is not completely harmful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitism#Value nor is it always forced on the host: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helminthic_therapy

In the case described in the article the males are obviously getting something out of the symbiotic relationship, but it's nowhere near what the females are getting. I'm sticking to my figurative use of "parasitism" to describe the imbalance.
Now that is a good example of internet of things, especially for the vulnerable (ain't we all?). I like the idea that a record is kept of who visited.

I'm sure some of those couples are based on love (or whatever you might want to name it), but I would not be the least surprised if most of them are trophy wives, objectified to hell and back, liable to get dumped/have money fountain dialed back when they become "obsolete"
Seems quite plausible, especially in light of effective sex segregation mentioned in the article
WTF is one way of looking at it. Another way is - it is between two perfectly consenting, smart people. If they want to write such prenups, why should you and I care?

The other day I was watching a talk by a professor on financial incentives - one of the topics he touched upon was whether we should use financial incentives to encourage kids to read (2 dollars per book, some schools are already trying it). The audience gave reasons for both sides of the debate and it was quite interesting. Point is, we are already using financial incentives for all kinds of things that feel weird (paying kids to read?). I personally don't think this is a great idea but I'm sure many people would disagree. So why not in personal lives too?
It struck me from this article how thoroughly the USPS and investigators practiced due diligence and did their homework during the course of the investigation. They went through the proper procedures for opening the package and made sure their Comcast records checked out. If you must use techniques like data mining to look for suspicious activity this is how it should be done.
The best answer to this I've come across is the idea of a P2P web (ala Bittorrent). If the assets are hashed then every version of a website (potentially) would be out there for you to retrieve. Then Archive.org would actually just be another P2P node to help guarantee content from becoming peerless.

I honestly wish sometimes we could re-architect the web to use P2P instead of point-to-point communication. It would be a lot harder to censor for a start.
Nothing, man. I feel this society is too alien for me. One of these days I'm going to quit it and go live on a farm.

Perhaps I feel this way because I am an immigrant and family culture is very different in my (Asian) country. I just cannot fathom such calculating behavior when it comes to relationships.
But drunk driving laws are not "severally unjust or unpopular", you're talking about a different issue than the one I replied to.

You'll notice that interview with the FBI happened in February, after he gave a talk on airplane security, and this incident was in May. Apparently, whatever he said during that interview wasn't enough to get him in any trouble.
> Also most of these people would go see their doctor if there was a million dollars in gold waiting there for them.

I'll caution you against this thinking, in general. If you have a depression so severe it keeps you from seeking help, you're probably well aware that it's a matter of life and death. Even if you're not acutely suicidal, you live day to day just "running out the clock", hoping it doesn't get any worse before you die. The prospect of wealth or fame in your future is not only not enticing; it may well make you feel worse, as self-awareness of your inability to care reinforces your depression.

The idea that people who are not motivated by death will be motivated by money is, while not categorically false, surely fraught.
My dad got re-married after my parents split.
Extra, as in there are (using real world numbers now - 7.6 billion people estimated in 2015, .85% crude death rate per year) 170,000 more people tomorrow than there would have normally been. At the end of the year, that would be 6.2 million additional people who we would not have to normally support, whose place would have been taken by the new births every year.

6.2 million doesn't seem like much (a little less than creating and populating a New New York City), but I believe it's fair to say that the number of children which are produced won't change too much (barring outside forces), resulting in the population equivalent of compound interest.

In 100 years, this means the planet will be supporting (somewhow) more than 17 billion people.

Its more than GPS. Much more than that:

1) which track is the train on? GPS off by a few meters 1 way or the other means a different track.

2) What are the switch settings ahead?

3) Is there a train stopped ahead?

4) Is there any obstruction ( i.e. rock fall )?

5) Are the crossing gates ahead properly functioning?

6) Are there vehicles across the crossing ahead?

7) What are the normal speed restrictions in place?

8) Are there maintenance workers ahead?

9) Are there temporary speed restrictions in place because of tracks needing repair?

10) What is the mass of the train? Heavier trains = greater stopping distance.

11) What is the track surface - leaves in the fall can create a biofilm that increases stopping distance.

12) What is the cargo - some cargo requires more gradual deceleration - bottles of wine anyone?

13) What about tunnels?

14) What about mountainous terrain with poor line of sight to GPS satellites?

15) What about signals that may interfere with a GPS fix?

16) What about going through cities with buildings and in trenches?

Expanding on a few additional points:

"Where is the train in front of this train"?

a) Its not enough to know where the locomotive is: some freight trains can be 2 miles long. So if the train in front is 2 miles ahead but is a passenger train - no problem. A freight train? Big problem.

b) Is the train ahead on a siding that the current train will not hit because the switch is thrown to transfer to another track>

"What is the allowed speed?"

a) Is the train going to take a speed restricted curve?

b) Or continuing straight at a higher speed?

c) How fast can the train decelerate - freight is slower than passenger trains.

In a car its annoying -but having a train get confused and go into an emergency stop - that is something else.

The assumption is reasonable for a lot of cases because of the central limit theorem. In particular, it applies if the variable of interest is the sum of a large number of independent random variables. For example, the number of heads in N coin flips is the sum of the number of heads in each of N independent experiments each consisting of a single flip.

Of course, there are also a lot of important cases where that N isn't quite large enough to justify the normal distribution, or where the quantity of interest is not a sum of a large number of small effects, so the CLT doesn't apply at all.

That's like saying an apple will never be an orange. These woman are where they are because of the life choices they make. The theory that there are barriers preventing them from doing something else is not at all supported from the evidence given in the article. The article does not even mention any attempts to do something else, nor barriers encountered.
The bigger issue is that women are highly unlikely to be in the position that the men are in this story.

Sure, there aren't very many wealthy female hedge fund managers or CEOs but there are tons of women who are the sole breadwinners for stay-at-home husbands.

As of 2007, 2.7% of parents are stay-at-home dads[0]! That's up from less than 1% in 1997. I don't know what the numbers are today but I don't think it's unreasonable to believe they're even higher. There are A TON of women graduating from college these days and not nearly so many wealthy male hedge fund managers to marry.

Much Too Much: Are Options Ruining Our Lives? A Personal Investigation
Universities exist on a continuum between two extremes: research and teaching.

Caltech is an example of a pure research university. It has a relatively small number of students at 2,209, with more postgraduate students than undergraduates (1,226 to 983) and 3 students per faculty member (including research scholars).[1][2]

The California State University system is an example of a (relatively) pure teaching university system. It has 7.4 undergraduates to postgraduates (392,951 to 53,229) and 20 students per faculty member.[3][4]

Large pseudo prime generators usually check for divisibility by numbers upto a million or so, then follow it with Rabin-Miller or more sophisticated non-deterministic tests to verify primes.

These primes could not have been generated by any reputable prime generation algos that I can imagine.

"I suspect she started out with the thesis [...] are "oppressed""

The article wasn't about being oppressed, so much as being disempowered.

"But they really aren't."

Ok. So why aren't they disempowered in the situation described in the article?

"She mentions women foraging for tubers as a contrast"

What she really said was: "women who contribute to the group or family’s well-being are empowered relative to those in societies where women do not".

"And they don't get to be "empowered" somehow in the bargain."

So again, why don't they get to be empowered (relative to similar societies)?

At the very least she lost credibility as an anthropologist when citing a select few tribes and their dealings with women. Surely there are many, many more tribes and situations with different approaches to solving the problems the environment presents to them. As well as birds where the females are not foraging all the time.
