Not sure what you mean by Japan being an exception? Bed-sharing remains very much the default there.
Some more background on this because I find it really interesting:

Aldi was formed by 2 brothers and then split after a disagreement about whether or not to stock alcohol. The reason I find it interesting is actually because Aldi isn't the first big brand formed by two German brothers to split into two (big, recognizable) brands. That honor would go to Adidas and Puma.
I want adult substantive speech. I'd prefer a censorship mechanism that still allows access to the original comment, but given the system we have, I'm ok with removing that particular comment.

Remember that neither extreme is a good place. Allowing link spam, doxxing comments, CP, etc... that isn't correct either.

I don't think we've figured out a good solution for this societal problem, but you offering a false choice of "pick and extreme" is not constructive.
I think it may be helpful to invert the framing of your question - you allude to spending economic resources to protect biodiversity, but aren't we actually talking about spending biodiversity (and other natural resources) to gain economic resources?

Your framing takes acquiring economic resources (a.k.a. the destruction of natural resources) for granted, assuming that we're losing, or giving up, something by opting to not destroy some portion of the natural environment for economic gain. Aren't we losing, or giving up, something every time we choose to gain economic resources by destroying part of the natural environment?

Logically, both framings are valid, but they don't appear wholly equivalent to me. Perhaps I'm missing something, but economic resources seem far more fungible than natural resources, which seems to imply that the latter framing may be more appropriate.

This difference, highlighted here, in this essentially ephemeral internet-space, may seem to occupy the border between semantic and pedantic, but I think it will take on a fundamental role in determining humanity's future prospects. How we define our relationship to the earth determines how we live. Your framing of the economic/environmental calculus seems to represent the status quo, but I don't think it represents a sustainable future for humanity. If/how/when the status quo shifts, I have no idea, but it does seem (from my limited vantage point, anyway) that more and more people are developing sympathy for the notion that modern society doesn't optimize for human well-being.
Younger people are less risk-averse and more likely to distrust the traditional finance industry because of past meltdowns. Many see BTC as a safer bet than a financial product a bank would sell them. Right or wrong it's a shift in thinking and may be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The crypto economy has created a lot of jobs. As far as I'm concerned that's pretty good value.
This article noted the controversial decision Twitter made to ban links to the New York Post story on Hunter Biden in October. That’s not the only such incident. Remember when Twitter banned Project Veritas for posting leaked materials (https://reclaimthenet.org/project-veritas-suspended-twitter/), even though they were totally fine with the New York Times posting Trump’s private financial information from illicitly acquired tax returns?

I don’t trust Twitter or the other tech companies to apply these labels and policies in any fair manner anymore. This is just yet another tool in their toolkit to wage their ideological war on their platform.
I would be interested in seeing a comparative study with Switzerland (legally encouraged gun ownership), as well as Mexico (legally restricted gun ownership).
making money is almost never a problem. Everyone says it is and then the said company blows the doors off expectations . Facebook did it with mobile in 2012 when all the experts said it couldn't be done. Mobile engagement is higher than desktop. Look at amazon and how long wall st. has ignored profits. All the company need to do is flip a switch and the money will pour in, and the users won't leave either, despite all the predictions that they should.
I wonder if this apparent contradiction can't be explained by re-examination of one the assumptions we're making. Namely, we assume human being is a singular, consistent self with a coherent set of goals. Perhaps, we're not. Perhaps, we're a bunch of more or less independent modules evolved for different purposes and activated in different circumstances. One module seeks to maximize convenience and pleasure. Another one to pass moral judgements. By eliminating direct exposure to the way chicken are treated we keep the moral unit offline while the convenience-seeker in us gets the best deal.

Vast literature from ancient Greece till modern day describe inner struggles that suggest humans may not actually have a coherent set of values and goals at all.

I wouldn’t use Preview as a primary editor but a lot of edits are simple rotate from portrait to landscape, crop out the boring parts, or adjust the exposure and Preview is a quick way to do that for a few photos. If you need to do more in depth changes or for more images, I would use one of the photo editing apps. My own favorite is Affinity Photo.

Being a self-taught (or to be fair, more self-taught than the average of my schoolmates); like not enrolling in private courses to understand the course, helped me a lot now.

I'm 19, just like you and the difference between me and my peers is that I'm able to understand things on my own, a lot faster and solve related problems that I encounter for the first time.

This made me smarter and more intelligent than the average. Focus on auto-learning. It worked for me well. I don't attend classes at university and instead study the subjects all myself.

I run an online business and do freelance work in the same time and my marks for this year are above the average and quite satisfying for the work I have put into (I study medicine).

The question that you should ask yourself again is: What's the advantage of MIT or Standford? (I'll appreciate if fellow HNers put their thoughts about these two universities so we have a deeper idea).
I think they meant "included free" instead of "included fee" for the photo editing line on the last graphic, no?
Let's say you're an institutional investor with an obligation to maintain a particular investment profile, and there's some event that forces you to rebalance your portfolio in a fairly dramatic way. You're used to working with stable portfolios with more or less predictable returns, and this might be a bit much for you to take on, so you decide to blow some of your management fee on some really smart consultants who can do the rebalance for you. They, in turn, have to figure out how to actually execute the plan that they come up with - there are going to be some pretty big orders involved, and if the market gets tipped off that this is going to happen, people are going to start hoarding their shares to drive the price up to screw you. So they start chopping the order up into much smaller orders and dribbling them out slowly, or looking for baskets of stocks that act like the stocks you really want, or trying to fill from dark pools, all kinds of crazy tricks (and they have to do the same kind of things on the sell side to finance all this).

Meanwhile, some even smarter guys at an investment bank just down the road know all these tricks, too, and have come up with a way to algorithmically spot them happening more accurately or more quickly than anyone else. So they start jumping in front of your trades, not because they want the stock, but because they know you want it and are probably willing to chase a rising bid for a while. Then all the other algorithms start to notice, and they start doing the same thing.

You, the friendly investment manager, are now financing both sides of what really amounts to one of the coolest deathmatches going, a bunch of math and computer geeks playing on your quarter and keeping a penny for the honor of letting you watch them do it. But you actually don't care, because it wasn't your quarter in the first place, and now that your fund is back in order, you're not going to get sued, and your customers, who had no idea that any of this was going on, and who may not even realize they're your customers, are back to paying 2% fees for (statistically likely) below-market returns.

In the past, these kinds of large trades would usually end up splitting the difference, with 'real' sellers earning a bit more than what they would have otherwise settled for and 'real' buyers paying a bit less than their actual ceiling. But now 'real' buyers end up paying close to their high bid, and 'real' sellers end up earning their low ask, with the bots fighting it out for the very thinly sliced middle territory.

In one sense, I do agree that this is an example of a market working perfectly. Algorithmic traders are exploiting an arbitrage opportunity between mainstream industry practice and cutting edge technical ability, and just like theory would suggest, they're making bank from it.
The convoy system in the North Atlantic also made a huge difference. Imagine Britain and the US shut off.
I'm sure they will expand internationally as quickly as they can, because the founders themselves are from Europe.
The whole megabits/gigabits thing seems like a holdover from when internet speed was measured in bits. Not kilobits, but bits. 300 baud (bits/sec) modems and the like. When 1200 baud was reached, no one wanted to be the one to switch to a “lower” number of ~150 bytes/sec.

EDIT: baud is not exactly the same as bits/second. But in those times, it was pretty much the same. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20534417/what-is-the-dif...

IIRC, you can use voice commands for that particular case. "Turn on the right rear seat heater." There's definitely other use cases that still aren't covered by voice commands, at least the last time I tried. I can't exactly recall what those cases are, though. I should check the latest user manual, in case there's an exhaustive list of all supported voice commands...
The F22 and F35 are far more modular. No more soldering irons and oscilloscopes were needed in the shop after the upgrade. Just swap out the module and you're good to go. Can't go into too much more detail than that.

I am not so sure how the article reached the conclusion that universities are ones that need disruption:

1. "Employers need skills, not just knowledge or titles" - then why does every job ad require a degree?

2. "Students want jobs, not knowledge or titles" - see above

3. "Students are paying more and more to get less and less" - US-specific (and I am appalled that every discussion on higher education in the US never bothers to see what others are doing)

4. "Students have unrealistic expectations (understandably) about college [...] Not everyone can be a leader, a CEO, a manager, or a highly sought-after knowledge worker" - the pressure to be rich and successful seems to be embedded in our society, universities have a small part in perpetrating this

5. "Many elite universities prioritize research, often at the expense of teaching" - that was the original goal of universities

6. "Instead of boosting meritocracy, universities reinforce inequality" - money gets you ahead anywhere, nothing specific to universities here.

I agree that there is a wide gap between what is taught at universities and what is required in the industry. But the purpose of universities should not be to prepare students for a job in a company. There are plenty of alternatives for that, from coding bootcamps to vocational schools.
>Would ActiveX have been so bad if it was open source and not tied into the operating system?

This is my personal view and it may not be accurate: I don't think being open source or cross platform would have mattered to an average PC user back then. Windows held the dominance among PC users (>95%). It wasn't until the rise of firefox that people started noticing the benefits of open source and standards. ActiveX failed because it was way ahead of its time and that it wasn't sandboxed/virtualized making it a security blunder. The one click front door to your OS resulted in a flurry of exploits and viruses giving its bad rep as we know.

Dart is leading the same path but in a secure way. I think eventually we will end up there with Web Apps and its only a matter of who gets there first.
I'm not sure if that's such a good idea.

Instead of just having your ISP able to sniff or MITM your web traffic, now you may have some random exit node operator doing the same - likely with more malicious intent than your Internet provider.
Yep. And the fact that Apple did absolutely nothing to evolve the language into something better shows that they just don't give a fuck about tools and most importantly about their developers! Maybe it's better than C++ or other alternative, maybe XCode is quite good, but this just show that since the days of NeXT (the 80s!), they just don't give a fuck!

...hate to say it, but nowadays the only big company that seems to care about developers and actually gives them cool tools and languages is Microsoft! C# with all its extensions, F# and the cool research they do in the languages area shows one thing: they care about us!
By definition, a person who is working only because he must will not get a fair wage. One side has leverage, one does not. So the worker gets screwed.

The ideal society is one in which no one has to work but everybody does. A basic income grant (which everyone, working or not, gets) would get us pretty close to this, because most people would still work for reasons of pride and the desire for a better lifestyle than what's available if they don't. Those who would use the grant as an excuse to slack off are the least productive members of society anyway, so we'd not be losing much if they stopped working.

Minimum wage has its problems, because it's a very clumsy implementation of basic income that falls hardest on those who are trying to employ low-end workers. Better would be to give everyone enough basic income to live at a reasonable standard, and let a free market decide what's a fair wage. If that's 75 cents per hour, that's fine because work isn't the person's only source of income.
I'm referencing Arrington's comments on Feld's blog.

Hello, I'm Kyle and the maker of this software.
After talking with a lot of companies they really wanted an online way to test out the functionality with their teams before working with their IT departments to run a full demo.

This is my quick attempt to replicate the core functionality of drawing navigation.

Please share this with someone you know if they might find this navigation helpful!
I'm sure that a lot of people on here know someone who works with hardware CAD drawings and I hope that you can slightly expand the reach of this demo.

Thank you for your help.
Of course if their are any questions please let me know!
Is reading good for you because other forms of entertainment have gotten worse? I suspect reading is so great because time spent reading is not time spent toiling away on social media or other shallow distractions. The same reason tea is good for you simply because it's not soda.

Or do successful people tend to read because successful people don't tend to get dragged into shallow activities. The reading didn't make them successful- the reading is a side affect of already having that trait.

I dislike the article's take on reading for pleasure with a goofy emoji. It mentions reading to broaden your world and make connections between disparate things. Reading for pleasure also accomplishes this.
I don't know what to tell you except that with years of experience implementing this infrastructure outside Kubernetes, letting Kubernetes handle it is cheaper. That doesn't mean Kubernetes is a good fit for every organization or workload.

You can roll your own anything with enough time and manpower. Whether it makes sense to do so depends on your circumstances.

I'd like to keep 10.6 support in the open source app I help out with but there are so many improvements in 10.7 and 10.8 from a developer point of view that the latest release will be the last to support 10.6 (and 32-bit macs). By improvements I mean genuine time saving features like base localisation, not "ooh shiny dot syntax!".
Apple has a pretty vicious hardware/software upgrade treadmill.

I resisted updating 10.4 for years; IMO that was the high water mark for OS X, everything has basically been downhill from there. If I could still run 10.4 plus bugfixes and security updates, with modern software, I would.

But that's not possible. They push out new versions of the OS, along with new versions of development tools, which produce software that's not backwards-compatible past a certain point, such that eventually you can't run new software without installing major (0.1) updates. Apple's own products are the worst for this, but eventually you lose 3rd party apps as well.

Even if you resist the demands of new software, you'll eventually get forced to upgrade via hardware. Each generation of Apple hardware has a minimum OS version, keeping you from going back too far. For instance, Mac Pro "quad core" and 8-core systems won't run OS 10.4; Nehalem-based machines won't run 10.6. And Apple has purposely killed off its compatibility layers, dropping first the Classic environment and more recently Rosetta, in order to introduce barriers to running old software.

It's pretty frustrating as a user.
Sorry, but switching the scroll direction was completely justified. It takes literally five minutes to adjust to, and unifies the scrolling direction between touchscreen and non-touchscreen devices.

It's not like, in lieu of this reason, there's some massively compelling argument to prefer one way or the other. If not for touch screens, the direction would be completely arbitrary. It didn't end up that way, so they've changed it now.

There are plenty of reasons to complain about OS X. This isn't one of them.

A lot of people here default to Ubuntu for Linux (including me), but I encourage those who are moving from OSX to give Fedora 21 [1] a shot - The Gnome 3.14 UI and the systemd integration is a wonderful experience.

If I was not so vested in the whole debian ecosystem, Fedora 21 would have been perfect.

For those who have only ever used OSX, you should know that you need a USB stick to build a bootable LiveUSB - this allows you to try Linux without actually installing it on your Mac [2]

He'd have to format it for Linux, so it seems like he may as well try the OSX re-install first.

But, as the grandparent said, this sounds more like a hardware issue,
>I just dread the idea of moving to Linux again. I don't want to tinker that much.

The thing about Linux is that once you've tinkered, things stay the way you are.

Copy over your home folder to your next distro and just about everything goes back to the way it was. When I wiped xUbuntu 14.04 and installed the 15.04 alpha, I didn't have to do anything to get XFCE back the way I wanted after I copied the contents of my home folder over and gave it a reboot.

This is far, far more friendly than what OSX forces you to go through after each and every update.
Founders need to hire one really good finance person early on who can stay on top of this and all the other legal/financial issues.
