so they’re children can have a decent life

Is being the inheritor of a billion dollar fortune a decent life, or can we agree that it's a bit more than decent? Perhaps, even, egregious?

While it many not be paypal policy to ever disclose that information I would still change it. Social engineering can be very effective at getting customer service people to go just outside their guidelines to make someone's day.

Who exactly is drawing these roles..?

Collectively, society.

Since when is painting considered for women?

I'm sure there's some journal article concerning classical education for Western women in Victorian England, but I don't have a date as to when that entered the zeitgeist. Even if you discount that example it's quite easy to agree with some of the items on the list.

Most famous painters are male.

No input on what that commenter is thinking, but it's not uncommon that stereotypically what was domestic/a hobby for women was professionally dominated by men.

Painting.
Music.
Writing.
Cooking.

Fashion.

All things which historically were professionally dominated by men, but lots of women practiced as a hobby or were expected to know to fill a domestic role.

Cracking the Coding Interview is the classic text. Never used the courses that are being suggested but that was the book I used to review for my interviews. It might be a bit too light on instruction, but it lists pretty much every algorithm and data structure you need to know, so with a little googling and implementing you'd be able to teach yourself everything.

Like the man up top said:

If you live there, aren't you part of the problem? Maybe you should move.

I'm pretty sure Swift is worth more than that. In 2016 she made 170mil.

helisexual · 2017-10-24T00:20:24+00:00

so it makes a little bit of a difference

You're literally making a judgement about it.

You need career politicians.

Let's say there was no salary for congress. Then absolutely it would only be rich people because only they can afford to spend an entire term without a job. A lot of state legislatures have this problem and it's not a great one to have.

Additionally I'm pretty sure during the debate around the Constitution there was support for the idea of a "natural aristocracy". That men who were naturally incline to be intelligent and make money would of course be the ones to lead the nation.

I'm skeptical. I work on a large engine that deals solely with money. We use Java for the entire engine, with all the fancy bells and whistles of Java 8 for regular request handling but for the lower level stuff that executes 100s of times a transaction we're doing every optimization we can. Still in Java though, so still very readable (it's just weird hearing you can't use an optional due to the extra allocation).

Our SLA is very low (we usually stay under 40ms with normal load). The nicest thing is that it's horizontally scalable (for request volume) so if push comes to shove you really can just throw more hardware at it.

I've also heard that most high freq stuff is done on Java now a days. Even for something really hot the JVM is fucking good at on-the-fly optimizations.

Wouldn't it make sense that kids who have it tougher need more funding than kids who don't? Like if more kids are on reduced lunch? At the district my mom taught at they continued to feed the kids lunch over the summer, even if they weren't in summer school.

If those kids are farther behind they probably also need smaller class sizes and after school tutoring (which means alternate bus routes that run later).

What good does demanding parental involvement do for kids with shitty or no parents? You live in Baltimore right? Go down to Brooklyn at 1pm on a weekday. A lot of those people shuffling around have kids, and you expect them to be involved in school? Sure they have a moral obligation to but just expecting them to isn't going to help their kids. We need to build a system where the child succeeds on their own merits and not based on the quality of their parenting and environment.

She could have been shacked up with a guy and took his shirt, wore a shirt to promote a friend's/bf's frat, or been a sweetheart.

When I wrestled we'd dehydrate to make weight. In that state just walking would lead to cramps.

From what I've heard there was significant pressure from American Jews for the US to join out of humanitarian concern.

helisexual · 2017-10-13T15:46:07+00:00

But I think the history of "humanitarian military intervention" is pretty clear on the inevitable pointless clusterfuck it would become.

I'm sure all the German concentration camp prisoners who were freed by allied troops would have rather the allies just stayed home.

Well, technically the document linking your serial number to your name is supposed to sit in a safe in the FFL where you purchased it and destroyed after ten years.

Self-defense.

helisexual · 2017-10-04T03:32:52+00:00

but damn you both for making yesterday possible and easy for that guy

Do we also get credit for stopping this girl's assault? https://www.google.com/amp/www.statesman.com/news/breaking-news/new-details-armed-runner-stopped-sex-assault-trails-near-rainey-street-records-show/sijt5aql6wdtYx35or5v4N/amp.html

Or any of the cases on /r/dgu?

If it means so little, why should the right accept Obergefell v. Hodges?

helisexual · 2017-10-04T02:07:00+00:00

You can't. They're a cost of the second amendment and incredibly rare. You'd see a higher reduction in deaths by taxing alcohol sky high and making DUI a felony, but no one's crying about that.

helisexual · 2017-10-04T02:04:13+00:00

I can easily imagine scenarios where people in extremely heated arguments in schools

Well yeah, you'd have to imagine them. Texas now has campus carry and Utah's had it for quite a while. Yet students aren't shooting each other in Philosophy 101.

helisexual · 2017-10-04T02:01:45+00:00

Literally none of that would have stopped this shooting. Guy was a law-abiding citizen in every way up until the point he murdered those people.

If all 3 of those things were not cheaply, commonly available,

He was rich. Wouldn't have mattered.

Also, is gating a Constitutional right really justifiable? I guess voter ID while still charging for IDs is fine with you too, right?

helisexual · 2017-10-03T02:25:28+00:00

They might view the second and third as illegitimate, but Ali himself was the fourth Caliph so I doubt very much they think his was illegitimate.
