"TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION" pretty clearly applies to the package accompanied by the license. I looked at the Wikipedia page and this wasn't raised as one of the objections. Do you have a link to some lawyer complaining about that? If the OSI lawyers said it's equivalent to a public domain dedication, that seems useful in countries that don't have a public domain.
I think screaming at people and all sorts of other stuff (16-hour days?) is just an unfortunate reality of the restaurant business. It's not like your experience is unique. I feel like most of the problems could be resolved with more money - because the real problem is that every day there's some unpredictable crisis and you have to pull the resources to deal with it out of your ass. Service jobs are so hard because clients want cheap, high quality, fast service are there is tons of competition.
One aspect of the difference is that the physical force and violence with white collar crime are indirect / externalized, because the crimes involve manipulation of intangibles.
The LGBT stat came from Wikipedia. For controversial stuff like that in the US, WP is pretty good. I used to think it was 10-15%, 1 in 7 was the number I learned growing up, I guess it's 1 in 25.
For me, "abnormal" generally means "what is wrong with you" (the response given here), whereas "normal" can even include eye-rolling and "oh so you're one of those". The difference between 1 in 33 (3%) and 1 in 666 (0.015%, from the tail end past +3 sigma which accounts for 50% - 99.7% / 2) is really quite palpable.
But again, let's face it: it's not as common as I thought, and it's not as uncommon as you thought.
Alright, so I missed the "half of". But you missed that there are 9 8-hour blocks of leisure in a week, not 7. So it's half of 5/9, or simply 5/18. Which doesn't sound that bad compared to 2.5/18 which is what a 1-hour commute gets you.
It's not 5/7ths, you're awake for 16 hours: 8 work, 8 leisure. This means on 5 out of 7 days, half of your leisure time is gone. So if you burn 4 commuting then you've given up 20 hours out of 40 + 2 * 16 on the weekends = 72, which is 28% vs. your 71%.
Personally I would never do it, but like, different strokes.
Also, define richly. Assume monthly savings of $2000/month on housing, call it $500 / week, that's $25 an hour. Plenty of people make less than that, so again it's just priorities.
I didn't link to the wrong thing. If you read that article the top cities excluding Nara are all in greater Tokyo.
The max time for Kanagawa is not reported, the average time for Kanagawa is 90 minutes (for men with kids under 6). Your calculations are median / max / average of averages.
+/- 3 sigma = 99.7% of the sample, and we know 3% is > 2 hours (for all of Japan, not Tokyo). There's near the same percentage of LGBT adults in the US (~4%).
All we're arguing over is the use of the word normal. Would you be happier with "uncommon but not an extreme outlier"?
But even just assigning someone to jaywalking duty is already selective enforcement. Even if the entire police force was on jaywalking duty, you couldn't catch all the jaywalkers in the city.
Yeah, me neither... but I don't think blaming commuters like ryandrake for advocating their lifestyle is the answer. Different people have different priorities. You wouldn't sneer at OP for working 60-hour weeks (it's glorified in the valley), but that's what a 40-hour work week with a 4-hour daily commute amounts to. I dunno, maintaining a separation between work and home can be healthy.
Yeah, ok, fair enough. First, I was conflating Tokyo with Japan. Second, by normal I meant "culturally accepted" so maybe I shoulda just said that. But you know, normal kinda also means "within 3 sigma" as well as "mean". These data for Tokyo are interesting:
I also agree that you have a point about the arbitrary distinction. Presumably you agree that accidental / criminal / insane / unnecessary shootings are a problem. What do you propose as a solution?
The four things I can think of are:
1) tighter registration and controls, GPS tracking
2) better training and education for gun owners, mandatory, free
3) arming more citizens so they can take out mass shooters
4) better training in non-lethal methods for police
We stopped buying raw sugar as well as things with added sugar at the grocery store. We also stopped buying juice and obvious junk food like potato chips. We still buy whole milk and bacon and cheese and pasta.
It was hard at first, but we still have sugar in various forms around the home to use on occasion. We're buying more fruit now too, but eat less than it takes to make the juice we eliminated.
We're losing about one pound per week, with no change in activity levels. So that's crudely about 500 calories per day, each. We have sweet things for social reasons, or to celebrate. The trick is just to avoid buying them so you can't eat them when you get hungry. Once we get down to our target weights I imagine we'll buy more.
It's really quite shocking when you stop buying sugar, just how many of your usual purchases you end up putting back on the shelf.
Yes, I agree, if you're optimizing for "success" you should optimize for "net worth", since for a lot of people those terms mean the same thing, no argument that this is the mainstream interpretation.
Personally I believe that as far as financial success is concerned, how well you handle transactions is just as important as net worth (so it's best to have a lot of money and handle it really well), but that's impossible to quantify of course.
