If gender equality has a negative effect on the climate (ie. more cars, more refined produce consumed, etc), why would they have this as a requirement in the Paris accord?

I guess where I was getting at is that they seemed to have used this agreement to push a westernized social agenda. Considering that every country is sovereign, I'm not sure this is a proper approach.

Mind you, I would love to have gender equality across the world but it would be preferable to offer opt-in approaches.

That's odd, I didn't know that gender equality affected the climate.

For some reason I'm in a nostalgic phase

I'm playing Lufia II for the snes

I'm amazed I missed that one at the time.

As guess this would qualify as great news for sea-faring pirates.

or your code could be riddled with thread contentions

I guess this is why he used the term likely

Interesting article though

It would be fun to compare results with male writers, just to investigate the discrepancies in how genders may perceive the other.

I miss those days

I miss live-chatting with the sysop if he was around

I miss gaining access levels and discover new files/areas

I miss re-loging at 12:01am to have double turns for my attack in BRE

I miss the discovery involved, how you would need to come up with interesting/new content to maintain you UL/DL ratio

I miss the epic mail convos we had in my BBS community

I miss GT's

That's a juicy story

Sorry for the late reply, the act of living itself makes me see the world slightly differently every day as new events unfurl.

I prefer learning from observations rather than being subjected to ideological propaganda. One respects the sovereignty of my conscience, the other does not.

Art does have a great impact on everyone's conscience, this is what makes it poignant. But there is good art and bad art, and in my book, ideological art is always bad since it veers your mind towards ideologies, towards a self-imprisonment of the mind, towards a false sense of consciousness, etc.

The addition of the girl makes it look like the bull intends to go after her, that's kind of a troubling thought and it does not respect the initial artistic intent of the bull statue.

"financial resilience" becomes "confronting women"? wow.

For diplomatic reasons.

I'm sure you are aware that their justification is to help determine if people are linked to dangerous groups or not.

Personally I wouldn't go that far but still, my point is that: not being searched at the border is a priviledge, not a right.

lol, good point

I suspect it wasn't tresspass though, more like a bought-pass

Some observations

- Surely there is a difference between overbooking and diminishing the number of available seats after the fact.

- Also, I would like to see how their "random computer pick" complies with their legal obligation of having IDB priority criterions.

- That was excessive force without any doubt. I mean, they had to clean up the blood afterwards.

- The doctor had to meet patients the next day, he had to uphold his hypocratic oath, I'm not sure this constitutes a "refusal" to vacate the plane in the legal sense.

What I dislike: It makes me feel like a user.

Of course, but they have the right to know what you are bringing in, this can involve searching people, it's a practical necessity.

Try entering your country with a piece of nuclear grade uranium.

Not to be incendiary but when she said "the ongoing erosion of our rights", I cringed.

Nobody has the "right" not to be searched or interrogated at borders (except for some politicians that have diplomatic immunity).

Is she a politician? if not, no right was infringed.

Great, now everyone will use Tor and torrent over I2P. I wonder if these technologies can handle the extra bandwidth.

It's illegal to taxi people around without a permit.

Look it up, gypsy cabs are not new at all. Most people kept a low profile and stuck to their own ghettos though.

Anyways, the conversation is not substantive anymore, both of our points where made.

It's an app

Typically 2/3rd of expenses in companies go into salaries. That's a huge chunk of money.

Somebody finds a system that reduces the salarial expenses to zero and all the hard-capitalists are over-joyed, secretly dreaming that they could apply this model to their own business.

In the mean time workers, while owning the means of production, are still liable to pay all the running expenses, to invest their time and work and give a percentage to a stranger, for some odd reason.

This is a form of feudalism.

I am not anti-capitalist, but I fear that this form of economy on the long run will not allow individuals to flourish economically through the merit of their work.

I wonder if they collect exif metadata (which may contain geolocation). This is creepy.

oh man! loved that game.

It's a cool idea but the problem is that people that sell goods will raise their prices knowing that everyone has more disposable income.

So the cost of life will raise and the people will have the same relative expenses (practically as poor) but without any fallback system this time around.

So unless UBI is coupled with strict pricing regulations, it's a scam.

solving problems

Typically, agressive people are those who can't admit defeat, agressivity being their last resort to "still win".

The trick is to maintain their illusion that they are in control.

So instead of saying: "It would be unwise to implement this feature because of X"

you could say: "I'm wondering if X could stop us from implementing this feature efficiently, what do you think?"

(what do you think = I am relegating control to you)

Stay clear of personal statements as much as possible but if it's unavoidable, think of "leaving them an open door"

Say your PO ate your lunch (for god knows what reason),

you would not say: "Why did you eat my lunch?",

you would say: "It might have been an accident but did you eat my lunch?"

(It might have been an accident = I'm giving you a ready-made excuse that you can use so that you can still feel in control about stuff)

It is important to have you "open door" at the begining of the statement for maximum effectiveness.

---

Business-wise though, the typical steps is

- try and fix it one on one (use the open door trick): "It might be just me but did you notice work tensions between us, if so how can we fix this..."

- if this fails, go to HR but don't talk badly about anyone, you need to use the "ask for advice" approach.

- if this fails, start sending your cv to other jobs

Maybe he meant that positivism is dead.

That didn't seem very journalistic, especially considering how things are extremely complicated over there. ah well

There's a guy at work whose position is unclear to most. It's just that random guy.

Typically, on monday mornings and friday evenings, he's very loud and looking busy. This is an age-old trick to superficially keep your job.

Ever so often one would hear his odd sounding voice pierce through the office talking about some idiosyncratic evidence while looking proud of himself.

Truly, if this guy was a programmer (which I doubt), he would be using lambdas. See, lambdas might have a use after all...

Too bad there was little to no talking

the human voice is an important sound
