I concur. Courses like Operating Systems, Computer Organization, Automata and the like may not seem immediately applicable, but I've had a ton of moments where I've been so happy to have had a formal CS education. Even if you&#x2

Brixon, did you ever have to handle drafts or documents/records that needed approval workflow on update or creation? I'm currently debating whether or not to implement drafts/revisions in the same table for simplicity at the

I do something similar because we have drafts (first drafts and drafts of existing records) in our system. My question is whether there is any downside to maintaining drafts and historic revisions in the same table opposed to maintaining it

Got it. What's the overhead of using RubyEncoder or some sort of code obfuscation/loader protection technology? I'm interested to know how much it costs compared to straight up MRI/JRuby.

Agreed. SMTP is such a lasting protocol that it is unlikely e-mail will be replaced in the long term. I certainly think improvements can happen on the server side, but the protocol has good failover, and for the most part, the reliability i

How is that irrelevant when you ask > Why so? That's pretty much what the state does, it provides advantages for situations it wants to see happen more (tax breaks for instance, dispensations or fast tracks, direct monetary grants)

I don't. I'm in support of gay marriage. You were giving me reasons why the state/society shouldn't allow sibling marriage.
401.
by jasonjei 11y ago
Then by what you wrote, gay marriage shouldn't be palatable to the state or society, since same-sex marriages usually do not result in natural children with today's technology. So we shouldn't provide any advantages to gay m

If we are to use the biblical sense of marriage, the Old Testament has a few incidents where a man was married to multiple wives[1]. Then if we are to be traditional, can a marriage not be among multiple people? Since we have denied same-se

Even though getting married is relatively easy compared to being divorced, we essentially sue the other party and let a supposedly neutral party decide :) Divorce is pretty easy compared to marriage. Like you said, it's just figuring o

What's to prevent two people who've met in person from agreeing to be "married" for tax purposes? Marriage fraud is marriage fraud--an application for marriage doesn't prevent that even presenting themselves before

I agree. But that's why we have the marriage inequality problem.

Yes, I have gotten married in the US. I'm not sure how that is relevant. My problem is the wording--"application" as opposed to "registration." Even if it's as easy as applying for a passport, there is still ro

Refusing to register or to give a license is the same as denying an application. I can apply for a liquor license and the state ABC can refuse to give me a liquor license or refuse to register a liquor license and it means the same thing.

For the sake of argument, if you want to marry your sibling, and your sibling consents, are we to judge that? Aren't we holding a double standard if our religious or moral standards are opposed to that? Or are you saying the government

by jasonjei 11y ago
My problem is that the application for marriage created the marriage inequality problem in the first place. We should change the institution to recording instead of application. Just because you were issued one doesn't mean that it was

If two people agree to marry, isn't that indisputable fact? What else do we need to require to prove a marriage? A "Registration of Marriage" would be sufficient, not an "Application for Marriage License." Marriage

Right. So we need permission from the government to marry with a "marriage license"? Why not just record the marriage? License implies a privilege not a right. I'm OK with "Certificate of Marriage." My issue lies wi

Tax, inheritance, and immigration laws don't require you to apply for a permit though to have your kids recognized so long as there is a registered birth certificate. My problem is the "application for marriage" process. A ma

I understand that laws need definition, but why does a definition need governmental approval? Do we apply for a permit before we want to give birth to a child? Shouldn't it be the same basis as having a kid--that is, if you're goi

What's shocking to me is that we need permission from the state to marry, whether gay or straight. Why do we need the blessing of the government to marry anyway? We can have kids without permission from the state (so long as you aren

Well stated. To see "polite" culture in China, just watch some old 1930s movies. There are also some modern movies that have tried to copy "politeness" patterns of 1930s and 1940s China, such as Ang Lee's《色戒》.

I think this is more of a reflection of mainland China than Taiwan or some of the other overseas Chinese communities. Taiwan takes a lot from its Japanese colonial days. A lot of the polite "culture" also left China (to Taiwan or
