Silly you, that idea would require reading... maybe Adam Smith (who says the same thing) or the studies from Norway that demonstrated the advantage their mobility provided in the late 00's.
Not in Atlanta. There are a lot of politicans scared by "OMG black people in suburbs around white women" who have worked damn hard to prevent subsidization. They even passed laws requiring wasting the federal subsidies (the feds pushed back on that somewhat... now only 1/2 of the dollars are wasted).
Recently, votes supporting subsidization of the transit system were lost.
Further, the control is kinda crazy, there are many competing transit options on a county by county basis (keeping in mind that the Atlanta area has like a dozen counties) that interoperate poorly to prevent the mixing of economic strata, and the state control that keeps things from being done well...
. Most mass transit systems do NOT break even after collecting all the tickets and passes...
As such, saying "hey they should just lower prices" is not really rational.
It's perfectly rational to subsizide things you want more of. And it's hard to think of a reason to not want more mass transit. Lower traffic, lower pollution, lower road maintance costs, lower accidental deaths, lower DUIs (while maximizing drinking opportunities), lower parking issues (and the corrallary tighter population densities/resturant densities), more freedom for poor people. In fact, it's hard for me to think of a reason it shouldn't be 100% free.
There does seem to be a failure to recognize latency in the system.
But it's not "beyond 58%". The issue is that the pipeline is not being recognized. Once women are 50% of the boardroom, in say another generation, it will balance out. Now, what is in the pipeline at that point dictating the next 50 years, I have no idea.
I think of the numerous coded statements that Gingrich made, you chose a particularly poor example. After all, lines like that are commonly leveled against Democrats of all races. I'd further contend that the racism/sexism of politicians is difficult to parse from their public statements
But that's an irrelevant sideline. There is no doubt that on Slashdot, they are not taken seriously.
How many boys growing up were told... "girls don't like bookish boys"?
Umm... all of them?
Maybe you grew up in an environment where no one said "you don't want to program, boys don't do that sort of thing".
And maybe he did. It's not that rare an attitude from the 1980's
Look, I get that being told you cannot do something sucks. But it sucks regardless of whether it's because it's unladylike, because you were born in the wrong caste, -or- because you don't want to be seen as a nerd and bullied. I don't know why we need to focus on easily identifiable groups of people who were statistically likely to be shit upon growing up. Why not help everyone who experienced that?
Hell, Google has enough data on everyone they could probably pick them out specifically and mail them an engraved invitation.
When was the last time you heard ANYONE speak of banning alcohol, certain types / amounts of alcohol, or alcohol in scary looking bottles ?
Well, 2 years ago. Still pops up every election however, so I imagine it will this time. Fortunately, last election we finally changed some of the anti-alcohol laws
There are still dry counties in the US. Heck, there are a lot of places, even whole states, in the US that ban alcohol sales on Sunday.
Most of these are in the South. But if you want a six-pack in Pennsylvania, you still have to order it "to-go" from a bar, and pay bar prices.
I'm having trouble understanding why I care if the ousted workers stop caring. Why is incentivizing the workers left behind to retrain to a new industry is a necessary thing?
Ah, yes, sorry, sometimes I miss humor over the pipes.
I tend to think we can easily (in solution, if not in political will) create a solution that takes the pain away from the displaced workers. Sadly, many people oppose something akin to basic income or robust unemployment insurance.
Notice nowhere did I say that we ought stifle innovation. I said that the luddites were correct, and that the inevitable increase in the standard of living did not affect them in their lifetime.
It makes sense to claim that the costs can be mitigated by helping those workers displaced, and society can still benefit as a whole. Heck, the displaced weavers could have been paid their salary til retirement, and the increased production still would have resulted in a modest short-term increase in the standard of living, and following their retirement a substantially larger standard of living.
But that wasn't the case you made. You made a mocking, disparaging case towards those concerned about the displaced workers. And then you shifted the goalposts dramatically.
Millions of people fly in airplanes every day that rely on computer controls (since there is no mechanical linkage between the pilot and the control surfaces). And 30,000 people die each year at the hands of human drivers.
You mean the airplanes that have people with a clear view of every vehicle for 100+ miles literally telling each one of them where to be? Where there are three dimensions of freedom, so two planes on a similar course can still be 1000 feet way from each other (and in fact it is considered dangerous to keep them in the same altitude), Where the vehicle density is at least four orders of magnitude less than cars?
The power looms did take away their jobs and make those with jobs into far more dangerous and unhappy ones. Eventually, it worked out so everyone alive at the time it worked out benefited. But the luddites were absolutely correct in that it lowered their individual standard of living.
If I recall correctly, there are neural networks being used in medical diagnostics. There is a recognition that they have flaws, but then again, so do human beings.
Of course, they are supposed to inform the doctor, not be blindly followed. Which means in N years, they will be blindly followed.
Yes, Amazon wants no more publishers to get a cut, just them and the author. And yes, they will want to lower the author's incentive to the minimum necessary for them to write., But not lower than that.
The publisher's aren't just representing the author. They are middle men.
Amazon will simply replace them with one vertically integrated company.
Worse for authors, maybe, but it owuld be beyond stupid for them to make it worse than the alternative.
I don't put jack shit out there w/o it being encrypted.
So I copy it now, and 10 years from now, and then cannot read it til XYZ-[KEY SIZE] encryption is broken/ineffective? Or capture tons of it, and just trust I can steal the keys later.
It gets them a feed into the microphone/earpiece on the other phone, and a gag order giving your friend 20 years in jail if he warns you. And a plea deal where he gets 6 months if you confess, or 20 years if he doesn't convince you to.
I've repeatedly asked companies to accept my public source code, review it and ask me about it, if they wish.
That can be a lot of work, to identify a significant enough contiguous chunk you wrote, understand it, and ask about it. Have you offered to highlight one interesting (and small) section that you checked in that shows your skills?
Or a small section that shows off how you were able to work within a larger codebase while maintaining stability.
I'll follow some directions to read your code, but I'm not willing to spend that much time if its too hard to parse what I should care about.
Read some history. Too much government power is very bad.
Government regulation of farming is one of the great success stories. It helped a bunch of farmers not die a hundred plus years ago and is a great example (used in the econ courses I took) of how early government intervention can stop a boom-bust cycle that would have been horrible for all involved.
Now, it turns out it's not 100+ years ago currently, so some of the policies need to be amended, repealed or replaced. But if you do some research, they were really beneficial for quite some time.
Note well, the US decided to get government involved in agriculture long before the USSR even existed. Turns out, if you just don't micromanage, it works out quite well.
Red meat offers very little and is harmful to the human body in many ways.
Wait, red meat is harmful? How? Why?
I mean, hot dogs, sausage and premade hamburgers are bad for you. But if you get your red meat at a butcher and not McDonalds, it should be pretty healthy./p
Creationism is a fringe thing in the United States. Judging by what makes national news is pretty dumb. A lot of national news is based on taking someone in a minor position and exaggerating how important they are. Stupid shit like that Kansas school board deciding to push creationism lead to all of them getting voted out of office in the next election. All of them.
Gun laws are important. I'm not sure why that belongs in the same sphere as creationism
p>But yeah, Europe has its share of creationismists too. Deputy Education Ministers, protests by parents, a possible "Genesis-land", hell, even a Geman Ministry of Education decision allowing intelligent design to be taught in public schools.

I never got "search don't sort". Amazingly, I find I'm better at sorting (esp labelling) than searching.
But I found a lot of the changes quite frustrating. I don't need an internal windowing system built into the browser, I have an OS.
Wait, didn't that already happen. A bunch of times?
