  1. I think that idea is comforting to a certain kind of person, but I don't see that.

    You can get in way more financial trouble with child support, and that doesn't require marriage.

    Peter Thiel sounds like the classic paternalistic moron who thinks that every problem needs him to solve it. People will get married or they won't. Who really cares?

    The biggest issue is probably financial. It's too expensive to have kids, and people who are risk averse will avoid them. For all the hype about entrepreneurship and risk taking, I think most startup people are risk averse. They just have bigger safety nets and social capital.

    Bingo, all this stuff should be at the router level. I have a very nice pfsense setup, with one active NIC. Any machine using it as a gateway goes right out the VPN, no other option. Anything pointed at the regular gateway, ignores the VPN and doesn't even know it's there.

    Bullshit it was unexpected, although it was sudden:
    Since the rapprochement between Washington and Havana began in 2015, Cubans have been bracing themselves for the policy to be cancelled and the past two years have seen a sharp rise in the numbers of people seeking to move to the US while they still can.

    Yes, fear of change and acting to prevent it are conservatism. However, when you throw out something like "keep out the mexican rapists", you've crossed the line into bigotry. Today's conservatist movement has by and large crossed that line. There are still afew national voices that avoid flagrently espousing such views, but they are slowly going silent.
    Mostly because, IMHO, they are not rascists, although they are bigots by your definition. They hold deeply unpopular opinions about taxes and spending, or they are trying to benefit themselves and other elites. They have been using the other, more common "keep america white" conservatives as cover and never meant for it to get this far.

    I've been assured by conservatives that the right to free speech applies only between citizens and the government. How does any of this apply in this situation, and what's the made up pronoun your referencing?

    I do applaud you for using SJW instead of your racial or ethnic slur of choice, that totally makes you sound very thoughtful and very, very intelligent.

  13. I've seen plenty of 40 or 50 year olds who look 70, since we're throwing out anecdotes.

  14. Good rural schools are unlikely. Only if your a wealthy suburb of an urban area. People just don't know how little your kids are learning.

  15. Yeah, most rural places are peaceful because there's nobody there, not because they are inherently peaceful. When shit does happen, your on your own.

  16. Where I'm from (IL), state taxes are quite high, and the government funnels money towards Chicago. People in the rural end up subsidizing the lifestyle of people in the urban areas...

    Guess again. I know it's hard for ruralites to believe, but they gain much more from cities, then cities gain from them.

  19. My kids school has issued ipads. Apple puts all sorts of management roadblocks in your way to prevent you from managing a child's account without another Apple device. So the school says I should put an account for myself on it, that way it's not like I'm pretending my kid is over 13. This has the added benefit of exempting my kids from any protection for under 13 data collection on any apps we install.
    Yay!

    I posted this to my company's Yammer without reading the article fully. The synapsis is wrong, the article clearly states that RHEL is the enterprise choice. It just says SUSE is gaining.

    Once again, excellent work by the editorial team.

    If you tried SLES, I'm not surprised, I felt the same way when I tried RHEL. Try out OpenSuSE Leap or Tumbleweed. They will blow your socks off.

  22. I think this is a grand plan to drive anyone with intelligence and ambition out of the "Red" states. This ensures their GOP vote for the foreseeable future and consolidates all those nasty Lib's in the "Blue" states where their vote won't matter.
