As if leaving room in a suitcase were easy.

I'm right on the verge of going with the new YNAB (first serious attempt to organize finances and budget outside my wife's use of Mint), but maybe I'll give Ledger a shot first.

jwz is such a...unique individual.

From a technical perspective, could a social network be built with acceptable privacy policies and still have all the features users want (assuming no ads and no profit motive necessary)?

With SQL, you get a complete solution to your problem immediately (the data you want is returned). So, high value return on effort motivates people to learn it.

They're probably thinking of memes and emojis as well. It can't be argued that well-structured text is a strong suit among individuals communicating with Facebook.

Who can post a copy of nyt_200811.txt somewhere? This resource looks great, but it seems you need shell access at Stanford to get a copy of the example data set used?

I would love to see the dynamism that would spring from decoupling health insurance plans and employment.

I'm going to start using the Profound vs. Wankathon dichotomy as much as possible from here on out.

What exactly does "relativise everything" mean? It seems possibly like a straw man.

These are good definitions.

I try to take your view day-to-day, but ultimately, it seems like we've veered well into overreaction territory rather than simply conscientious reactions to dangers.

This is an excellent story. Really getting over the fear of ignorance and learning to manage how much the opinions of others get in our way are real life improvements.

Raising a child and merely fathering a child are completely different things. Surely you must understand that?

Are those really mutually exclusive? I tend to think not, even given the finite amount of classroom time available.

That's an important point. Further, isn't it odd how we (Americans? The media? People in general?) talk about "jobs" in such a weird way. As if they exist in nature and just need to be dug up and distributed. Getting to

It's disturbing. Sure, Google is worlds away from where it started, but to violate trust in search is a bridge too far.

Why bother? Because it's an excellent opportunity to write, so he did. The idea that he took time to write instead of read Alan's work says it all.

Hah, good point. But I guess the idea is that this is a major issue that will be in the spotlight. Tons of scrutiny and no way to cover what might be their obvious motives to avoid an appointment. The circumstances are extra-ordinary.

Won't they be under an awful lot of pressure considering it will be obvious they are obstructing normal business?

That struck me as premature and unlikely. There's 11 months left in Obama's term, after all. That seems like enough to get a replacement in there.

The accuser should be made public and held to a high standard. What could Youtube do to get the incentives more aligned so that users infringed upon are still willing to make the accusation, but false accusers would steer away?

You'd be right if I said all young people feel that way and all parents above a certain age felt my way. But I didn't say that, and I don't believe that. To rephrase: it is alarming the rate at which young, childless, and w

by aklemm 11y ago
An excellent answer. It's alarming how easy it is for young, childless, well-off people to simply not have any capacity to understand these points. I say that having been such a person, so it really is sad how long it can take to learn

Right, but that's absent an income increase among the students. You're missing that key piece of the question.

But you can't be bothered to explain where I've gone wrong? That's too bad. Regarding hoarding, do you think I meant they're keeping it under a mattress? Hoarding (which I'll admit is poor word choice and inflammato

I'm looking forward to reading that. I think of a UBI as a redistribution, not creating new money. So once it's redistributed, how do we keep that money circulating and growing among the populations who need it? How do we prevent

I would guess they'd be willing to do whichever one is most equitable and effective.

by aklemm 11y ago
Something ought to be done to: A) take advantage of our technical advancements to provide better for all B) decrease hoarding of wealth at the very top (that's not to say inequity can/should be solved for all). That said, I don&#x

It's in the opinion section where it belongs. You're setting a standard so high for public discourse that it's essential worthless (I'll get you a source for that asap.)
