There is a strong correlation between success for children and fathers being present. Whereas children raised by mothers only face many additional challenges, children raised primarily by fathers are only minimally disadvantaged compared to children in nuclear families.
So, JP aside, there may be some truth to that analysis.
Hmm. Some of the studies I looked at took income into account, so I’m not sure if I follow your line of reasoning. I don’t doubt that there are external factors that advantage male parents, but income doesn’t seem to be the smoking gun. Children raised by single mothers have more problems in society regardless of their financial security. Especially when it comes to criminality. I’m going to go out on a limb here , but I would wager that the “criminality “ is mostly centered around substance abuse and adjacent factors.
I would be interested in seeing the studies you're referencing. I have not seen any studies that correlate single mothers to increased criminality over single fathers when eliminating economic factors.
This is apparently a narrative that the Right seems to love, built on faulty correlation from the 70s, when divorce rates were increasing along with crime, but was disproven given the later-to-current decrease in violent crime, with no decrease in single motherhood.
Could also be correspondent with reductions in prosecution for minor drug charges, eg marijuana “offenses”. That’s my guess, since as you said, those studies are older. The substance abuse rate is higher for single mother raised children, so a shift in drug use penalization alone could dramatically shift “criminality”.
Anecdotally, I’ve been living in a place for the last 2 decades where single motherhood is the rule rather than the exception, in a matriarchal society. The infantilisation of men is, for my Western European sensibilities, pretty extreme. The men that are accountable and present are definitely the exception to the rule.
The difference in the treatment of children in families with men involved is so dramatically distinct that it is extremely easy to tell if a person comes from a family environment that was heavily influenced by male presence. It’s not a scientific observation, but it is an interesting insight. It’s like there are essentially two parallel cultures. Even the speech patterns are so different as to be easily discernible.
It is amazing and confusing to me, too, everytime again I read something like that, e.g. also for "animals have feelings, empathy" etc... seriously, really?
Ask anybody who has a pet or observed animals in freedom for a longer time! How can you assume the opposite to begin with, please?
And it is also so directly obvious for most, in the end they are us... we just have developed recordable speech and have the best "hands" it seems... we are not too far off from "them".
The Berlin scene is partly very touristy, what is also good for the city (and sad to let the clubs go), but please also don't underrate it - there are still so many clubs, you just need to find your more undergroundy experience ;) As a tourist, of course, you are also part of the problem, but also well welcome. Every "hype" is not true and show quickly symptoms, and everything was always better back in time, but there is still a lot of reason for Berlin ;)
Not really, they say Leipzig is the new Berlin but it's basically just a few years behind (which is positive in the context of rising rents and dying subculture) and has about three clubs.
Definitely, don't know why not more places are like that. The majority if techno clubs does it.
There is a reason more clubs are also dark etc.. not only to hide the maybe existing wasted faces, but also to completely let go and dissolve in the music, this is very necessary.
I generally agree, but also disagree. The problem with drugs and people is that they usually overdo everything and dont know their limits. Who figures that out can also have their fun 8+ hours even at age, with a limited amount of alcohol(+weed) consumption at a certain constant level ;)
And then there are also that amazing sober ravers who can do 8-12hrs even without any drug.
Shouldn't be underestimated how much some people like the music and their trancy dance therapy. (but yeah, those only also buy water/cola/maté).
And even this comment will get a lot of explanations why cars and the infrastructure as it is is absolutely necessary for them. Yes, given your setting you built and the only pov you can imagine! The opposite is easy, fun, and proven in many places to work well and better;)
I remember the brain melting experience I had when I arrived in Madrid and saw that there were two circular subway lines, I can’t even catch a bus anywhere where I live or buy bread without driving because there are no sidewalks, that was like arriving at the Star Trek universe.
Some people are living in the future and don’t even notice it.
Only been to Madrid once, but was very impressed by the design of the subway - as I remember, they have the different lines colour coded and there's matching coloured lines on the floor/walls so you just follow the relevant colour to get to the correct platform.
Not getting it.. yeah the famous 32 bit ms overflow after 49 something days. But why then 51 here? Shouldn't they be required to reboot after 49 days please please? :D
It's possible to run tasks instead of starting every second, starting one second after the previous iteration finishes.
So if you have something that checks the system health every millisecond, and keeps a count instead of a duration, then if it takes a couple microseconds to complete you might get something less than 86 million ticks per day instead of 86.4 million.
The OS used on the 787 has a hard real-time scheduler. Tasks are started up at a specific frequency (set per task), run to completion or to the end of their time slot (set per task) and terminated. We had, IIRC, a strict 100ms slot for our bit of LRU software to do everything and it would be launched every 1s (from memory, that was 15 years ago). Information could be stored between executions so partial completion is something you could handle if needed by storing state information and using it at the start of the next iteration (we didn't need that, our tasks finished in the slot).
You don't base the start of a future task on the end of the prior one, you base it on a fixed clock for these kinds of systems.
Yes.. I agree to the example and reasoning in the article, but on the other hand metaphors can simplify things too much, and even tell lies. E.g. politicians using them is the prime example. Thus, not convinced...
> and it's not end-to-end encryption this time. Not exactly.
Not exactly, but as you mention that... of course, if you could open up that too, that would be great. lol ;)
Why are these Orwellesque desires not more frowned upon? Our crimefighters barely need it, they stay as incompetent as before, but our freedoms and civil rights will suffer, a lot. Even the most conservative ones should be afraid of what they constantly try to enable in face of all the right wing pushes everywhere.. social and even most liberal parties don't hold against it, it is shocking and hilarious at the same time.
