the unfair thing about private school is only people who have money can go, thus increasing the social gaps.

I would happily pay 40-50% income taxes if our system was much more socialized like some of our European counterparts.

That's definitely a little idealistic on several levels. First because of this* quote, which describes the reality we live in. Secondly, that assumes that living a life that adheres to the law is totally fair an just. History is full o

It's not recursion in the sense that it calls itself. However, it does divide the problem into smaller (though explicitly defined) chunks, which is still recursion. You could state it that the multiple by a power of two is the sum of t

One of my favorite jokes is a grandparent talking to their grandchild, saying, "Did you know, when I was a kid, we used to drive cars ourselves?" "No way, grandpa! And nobody ever got hurt?" "Oh no! Every year milli

I have wanted an Ergodox* keyboard for a while. They would certainly solve that problem. I think your situation with the different key styles would really bother me, however. * http://ergodox.org/

Yeah, well I would say that when one is single and poly, the world is pretty wide open. When one is dating, certainly is makes it harder when you either have to find monogamous people who are ok with you dating other people (unlikely), or o

I have actually noticed that as well. Almost all of my metamours have been in the tech sector.

I am a part of the polyamorous (not totally distinct, but not the same as polygamy) culture, and I think it is slowly gaining some momentum. I'm not convinced it will ever see mainstream acceptance (who knows, LGBTQ+ people somewhat en

As a successful polyamorous person, I find the whole thing kind of amusing.

I can't remember where I read it (probably reddit, check out /r/basicincome), but I believe many proponents of basic income suggest that it will replace institutions that provide income to people such as social security, but

I'm not saying they can't serve it up. I'm saying I don't want to see it. I don't have control over the pipes as a last-mile provider, and if I did, I would let ad traffic through without being throttled. By that lo

It's only about 20 pictures at 30 second intervals each, which is only 10 minutes. From a million miles away, you wouldn't see noticeable changes in ten minutes. Much like when you are flying in a plane over the ocean and the wave

It's not that you have to. It's a social grace to not offend people. If you really want to, you are allowed to. But when society says to fuck off -- well, you got what you paid for.

Slightly OT, but I just finished reading The Martian [1] by Andy Weir. I have always been fascinated by space and space travel, but I never really had a good grasp on the technical complexity of it all until I read that book. Now that I und

Wow, that's a cool setup! I love the measuring tap yagi idea. I've been doing amateur radio for about six months now. It's a fun hobby, especially when you get into transmitting on HF. The first time I made successful contact

That's a misleading trope. The semantics of "programmer" now and then are not a fair comparison. There is now and was then a disparity in the gender distribution of "technically hard" jobs.

Does anybody have a way to watch the video again? I'm curious to watch it again now that I know what happened. I haven't watched many launches before so I didn't know if what was happening was routine or not. Though, admitted

Sounds quality isn't really dependent on circumaural vs supra-aural headphones. The major complaint I hear with supra-aural headphones is that they apply pressure on the ears, which can be unconfortable. Sound quality, however, is larg

The point that I find hard to dismiss when talking about the differences in Apple's privacy policies versus Facebook, Twitter, Google, et.al, is that there is, in fact, a significant difference between the privacy of an email, text mes

I don't have a compelling reason to leave spotify yet, but I'm open to changing. I think their redesigned app aesthetic is pretty nice. I have good luck with the radio and repeated songs, but I wish it were smarter about genre&#x2

Yeah, but calling it in the keynote is a pretty hard thing to back off from. I don't think they will. Hopefully it'll stay on schedule though!

I remember a thread on HN [1] from a few months ago talking about how apple was never going to do this. I'm so glad they were able to pull it off! Good for you, Apple! [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8488808
