mentors to instill discipline?


I think what you are hitting up against here is that the "discipline" you are referring to refers to structure and accountability for their choices.

The "discipline" referred to by the article more often boils down to punishment for misdeeds.

One form builds up a person into a better version of themselves. The other is intended to break the spirit of the person and make them submissive.


This is a super important point, and I've never seen it expressed more clearly. Unfortunately, many adults who are responsible for caring for children do not seem to understand that distinction, or they are too overwhelmed and spread too thin to apply that knowledge effectively.


where cam i download the leaked data?


Do they mean a lower tax rate or total dollars? I'd like to talk about total dollars not percentages, percentages are misleading. If someone is paying 1 million in taxes and you pay 10 thousand, they pay more than you, regardless of conversion to percentages of taxable income.


...and a nice size TODO section


Except you didn't buy a truck, you bought a tall unibody car with a bed. It has vastly less utility than a frame based truck/suv. If you are happy that's great and ultimately that is all that matters, but to compare ridgeline to silverado or f-150 is just plain wrong, apples and oranges.


Not a Ridgeline owner, but... the reality of pickup ownership in America is that on average they never get used for things that couldn't be done with a wagon or small SUV. Which makes the Ridgeline the best truck out there for most people who buy pickups -- the in-bed storage is super practical, the flat floor provides more usable space in the bed, towing capacity is reasonable for a U-haul / smaller boat / motorcycles.

It would be at the top of my shopping list for when my '05 RAM finally dies but for the bed being too short for most of my motorcycles. I wish 'utes would make a come-back in America and up-size to be more competitive with pickups, a four-door 'ute w/ a 76-inch bed and 1,000lbs of payload would suit me perfectly.

Probably I'll just buy a trailer and put a receiver on my R-350, it can tow plenty and replaced a lot of trips in the RAM.


You've described the reality of upper middle class pickup ownership.

As you go down the economic ladder people become more willing to shoehorn vehicles into uses that would make wealthier people hem and haw.


I can't disagree with you but I'd still like to respect the definition of 'truck'. It has a specific meaning within the car world.

Someone else essentially patented data lineage, processing a dataset and tracking which records passed/failed a set of validations and storing a code for each validation that failed. Thanks Obama and your first to file change.


My favorite patent so far came out of Apple.

They received a patent on receiving data, recognizing it was a certain type of data, and performing an action on it.

And what was this used for? A user clicks a phone number and it brings up the phone app.


Do you drive an EV?


Not yet. I take public transportation for the most part.

But ok, I'll bite: there's an implied "hypocrite!" in your question. My existence consumes resources and I'm therefore part of the problem.

I can do "my part" but this is bigger than any one individual. The policy makers are the one who have control to shape outcomes.


You're not a hypocrite. I still like to know the level of dogfooding someone practices.


It will be, it's just not ready for sale yet. "Currently under development as of May 2018." The company still needs revenue, so they bid projects, which is probably the best way to test new technology, I mean, other than drilling random tunnels in the desert.


It sounds like the author does not want to pay taxes. How much tax does he want to pay?
