I think this is possibly misleading. 'We' never did 'collective' parenting in the broader sense. Both Asian and Western families were essentially nuclear, but multigenerational, and closer ties to extended family. 70 yea

This is actually incorrect reasoning. The amount of variation in the human condition would completely negate any conclusions from a sample size of two, however close the conditions. It's also really easy to explain how one kid does wel

Just because you have an anecdote that illustrates something doesn't negate the broader conclusion. Frankly, the original statement that 'it only takes one or two' should be rather obvious, it's called 'parenting&#x

This is neat, but almost no startups of any kind, even mid size corps, have such complicated and intricate plans. More likely: OpenAI was a legit premise, they started to run out of money, MS wanted to license and it wasn't going to wo

The Gemeni and Apollo projects were very iterative, and rife with failures. They launched a new mission every few months! Apollo burned downed and killed the crew, the next Apollo was up a few months later! The second moon mission was launc

Failure in and of itself is not so bad, it's really how it's operationalized. How quickly can they identify, correct and move on to the next test? That's the question.

It's shameful your comment is down voted because it speaks right to the heart of the issue. Republicans are historically far more Hawkish on Russia, Iran etc. and with Trump was saw the tables reversed. The answer is likely because peo

Yes, McConnell and most Republicans want to avoid the $2K spend which is consistent with their ideology. Trump's support of $2K checks is completely against policy instinct of his side. It's purely populist. The fact so many Trump

That's a different phenom entirely. People flip flop on policies because they are part of social groups, not coherent ideologies. They don't perceive themselves as flip flopping, because of course they have not changed groups. If

Yes, but: Both of your comments are out of sync with crude, real-time populism. $2K checks means "MONEY FOR ME NOW" to the proles, ideas like 'tax cut' (which FYI usually are targeted at the rich), or 'we have to pa

Yes, you can try to bend that reed in the wind, but mass welfare and social assistance is fundamentally, straight up socialism. There is a completely unambiguous divide on that issue in the regular political context - Democrats are 100% on

Globalism is not so much about 'connecting people'. It mostly has a neolibaral foundation, and secondarily a governance and NGO ethos. Anti-Globalism in the 1990's was by the Left, and they were against the WTO and mostly neo

The Indian subcontinent was very wealthy on the whole, and also extremely unequal, there are innumerable testaments to that. See: Taj Mahal etc. Very poor on a 'per-capita' basis but with unlimited labour. That said, slave labour

Often the reasons are not clear because they are not documented it, often only the dev who did it would really know. Also, it's probably worth taking note of 'fresh eyes' because they have the advantage of hindsight which is

It's >50% communication. - Setup docs have to be clean and well maintained, hopefully scripted. - Architectural overview has to be clear. - Other devs must make time for new devs, and that has to be communicated.

Unions are like corporations - there is good and bad, benefits and drawbacks. One thing I've noticed, is that where 'new unions' are forming, there is' probably a good reason for it.
