If we are of the opinion that everything should be private, then why not privatize Central Park?! What could go wrong if some poor kids will never get to see the beach? It makes it even more of an incentive to work hard, am I right? /s

This is a perfect example where machine learning will overcome the issues of variability in burn times and intensity. I think ML will have a great impact in warfare.

Thank you for your personal story. It is interesting the angle of the father being the one who abandons the family. Did your father have the option of coming with you at the same time and he chose not to? The father in the New Yorker artic

Maybe the mother did not help keep the image of their father in perspective. It would be great to know how mother coped.

I think it is the father who sacrificed: Out of a family of four, he is the one that chose to stay behind so that the other three (mother and two children) can get to US. Interesting fact is that we do not hear much at all about the mother.

She got older and realized that there is more to life than career and material status. Edit: she also does not seem to realise that her father's behavior might have been determined by the sacrifice he made, staying behind and having hi

I feel sadder for the girl than for the father. She comes across as quite self-absorbed, where even a child is a distraction, close to an imposition.

"Foundational knowledge" implies ability to effortlessly recall examples, especially since it would help educate a fellow in need. So far you just pushed the puck away and sent me to a search engine.

can you point to an example of "institutional racism?" So, that, at least we have a clear starting point of something that needs addressing. Speaking in general does not help anybody. I, for one, would not know where to look if yo

Sometimes, to build immunity, you need to be exposed to the raw, unfinished stuff. If you manicure everything you will lose the ability to build critical thinking and discern among various opinions. From this angle, the "curation of f

Care to clarify/confirm that I understood correctly that you mean to say the asians/whites are racists for living longer? How did you reach this conclusion? Edit: and it looks like hispanics are actually living the longest https:

This actually proves that once the social cohesion has disappeared and that the fault lines have actually enlarged then these methods are just the tip of the conflict.

by mnglkhn2 10y ago
It is a social construct to try and keep everyone at peace. The alternative would be a society with fault lines along racial and religious beliefs. And this would most likely lead to conflict. So, if you don't want conflict, then you

If you start from the premise that "the customer is always right" then I can see why it looks like a retaliatory action. The thing is that "the customer is always right" is just a customer relation principle/approa

The customer gets to get a refund for the product. This way it is not bricking per-se but refusal of service. My understanding of bricking is that you have a dead device and no recourse in getting a replacement or a refund. The interesting

Perl6 looks like a great language. What Perl6 needs is a clear branding message which in most cases has to do to a clear use-case scenario. People need to know why do they need Perl6. In late 1990s and early 2000s Perl was CGI, which was dy
