> In case you are curious, Daniel and Susan ended up not having a prenup. Daniel wanted to have a prenup, but Susan fought tooth and nail to keep it out of their marriage. Daniel is now at peace with the fact that he has to share whatever he makes during the marriage with Susan, knowing that the money he brought into the marriage will always be only his. Dear readers, do you think Daniel and Susan should have had a prenup?

Huh, how surprising that the person with significantly less income and assets fought hard to prevent a prenup.
OK, I can reproduce. I'll forward, something seems wrong (obviously). Thanks for reporting this.

Or about Daniel's intentions?

This is an ugly topic that you simply can't extract a solution for by applying cold logic. It involves, emotions, expectations, realities, possibilities, all wrapped up into one document that spells out what will happen if and when your marriage meets it's bitter demise. Read all you want on whether it is right or wrong and postulate as much as you want about it, but when it comes down to it and it's your turn to decide whether you are hedging for or against the success of your marriage, it will be a deeply personal decision that no one will have any right to make calls on.
I'm inclined to agree with your assessment, even if it seems to drip with bile. I've not much experience with genuinely interested baristas, but those that I have known made drinking coffee more of an event rather than just a forgettable occasion.

There's still room for the human touch but sometimes you just want a decent double espresso and to be left alone.

Did they teach you that a group of completely rational short-term thinkers can get stuck at a local maximum that's way below the optimum for people who are thinking ahead? Or that irrational behavior can emerge from groups of smart, rational individuals in competition?

Theory aside, here's a thing that doesn't fit into any short-term models I know: Bell Labs. Take a monopoly business with a ton of spare cash, and throw that cash into a well. Build a city full of comfortable middle-class researchers and their families with no need to produce anything of immediate value, and keep it going for decades. Watch them invent a million amazing things that change the world, and then, once they get splintered into a bunch of smaller, short-term focused groups, watch them fade into insignificance.

I have to agree. Every few years I'll try again with LEDs and energy efficient bulbs. I'll look online, buy a few different brands and specifically look for the ones with a "cool" colour temperature that should look natural.

In every instance the lighting was terrible. I really haven't yet found an energy efficient bulb that didn't make my place look like a jail cell.

My current place has halogen track lighting and I really like it.
If the 'bubble' pops now, prices will still be higher than they were 5 years ago. That makes your prediction extra bad.

Unless you normalize by currency, in which case its just a fairly bad prediction.
Pretty much this.

"Utopians on the coasts occasionally feel obliged to dream up some scheme whereby the unnecessariat become useful again, but its crap and nobody ever holds them to it. If you even think about it for a minute, it becomes obvious: what if Sanders (or your political savior of choice) had won? Would that fix the Ohio river valley? Would it bring back Youngstown Sheet and Tube, or something comparable that could pay off a mortgage? Would it end the drug game in Appalachia, New England, and the Great Plains? Would it call back the economic viability of small farms in Illinois, of ranching in Oklahoma and Kansas? Would it make a hardware store viable again in Iowa, or a bookstore in Nevada? Who even bothers to pretend anymore?"

There are knock-on / 2nd order effects in other industries, as well. E.g. if robotic trucks lower the cost of over-the-road shipping by removing a big cost component (the driver), then it might affect the breakeven point at which rail shipping becomes more desirable than OTR (currently around 500 miles for most types of freight). And if taking the human drivers out lets you run trucks nonstop for longer, overall cargo velocity could increase, which makes various types of just-in-time logistics easier. It'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
One of the things I wonder, in reading the comments... I wonder if there would be a viable model for someone to manage the devs servers for them.

I'd love to do this, but I wonder what a good pricepoint would be? (so that it's beneficial to both parties)
TLDR:

> Here is the scenario [Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson] envisions: maybe a user signs up to get SMS from a company (in exchange for a coupon, for example). Then, over time, that user also installs the company’s app on two devices. Now, push notifications allow you to give that user a far better experience, but you don’t want to send both SMS and push notifications to every device the user has the app installed on (that would be annoying, after all). With the new API, you simply set up a rule to send a push notification to the device the user last used (or the one that is currently active) and then fall back on SMS if that doesn’t work.
There's insufficient evidence the problem results from blue light specifically, rather than the absolute amount of light. I would not be surprised any amount of light that results in mesopic, let alone photopic, adaptation would be a sleep inhibitor. The human visual system is very adaptive, and we're not nocturnal animals, so pretty much anything brighter than moon light pretty much I'd expect would be a potential trigger for "time to be awake".
most prenups are not usually honored in american courts. You have to go to great lengths to make sure prenup is airtight.
I could be wrong but wasn't that Ryan's idea?
depends on what's in the prenup and who is making what. Maybe the prenup says they spit everything 50-50 and Susan makes more/has a nicer house. Or maybe she's going in to a more lucrative career field. Or, maybe she's just offended at the notion that her future husband is already planning an exit strategy (that last part is mostly my own feelings about prenups coming through)

Yup. Why else would she fight it? It's in her best interest for there not to be one if shit hits the fan, plain and simple.

Hopefully people here will be more levelheaded than other online communities when it comes to gender relations and realize how not having a prenup is insane, and additionally, how absolutely fucked family law is not only in California, but pretty much the entire country.
The parent also ignored the time-to-process difference which is drastically lower in storm. It has its flaws but scale is not the only metric to use as a decider
Agree. When we had one kid, I started a business. Looking back, it was totally doable. When we had two kids, I was a solo freelancer, worked a ton, and don't remember any issues. The third one, though, we called him The Crusher. Even though he was as easy as the first two, all three constantly demanded attention, and we were outnumbered. There was no "relaxing with the baby". As they got older, the sheer logistics with school and multiple activities got ridiculous (let's say 3 children x 1 activity each x 2 days/wk (1 practice + 1 game) = 6 afternoons/evenings gone). Expenses suddenly got out of hand (preschool++).

Of course, wife & I always wanted three. I was not going to not have three kids, just so I could spend more time coding. I would never tell anyone who has < 3 kids that they have it easy, but this was a very interesting sub-topic of the OP.
No. In our culture a prenup is a sign of distrust, or that you don't expect a marriage to succeed. Rational or not, people who have no gold-digging intentions can still be extremely opposed to prenups.
Sure, it's great for Germany. Those robots don't maintain themselves.

We have a gas station that serves food that is cooked to order. It is a WaWa station. All orders are by kiosk and the kiosk is pretty well designed. My family and I don't have problems using it. We are however, all educated.

It uses pictures and text. I will have to watch next time I'm in there to get coffee and see how well people use it.
Why are you guys using Slack for team comms? Wouldn't it be easier for all involved to be a channel on Reactiflux's Discord?
Nah. It's entirely possible that Susan's intentions are benevolent here.

Being able to trust that both of you are committed is critical to making a marriage work. While it's possible to trust each other's commitment and have a prenup, in practice it's not that simple. Relationship's have a delicate equilibrium of trust that needs to be maintained— a prenup does make this more complex. I'm not saying it's impossible, I just think being hesitant about a prenup is entirely sensible position.
True but they're not planning for currency-agnostic fees before they move to proof of stake, which will require ether for staking.

It might not be a done deal, either. A few weeks ago Vlad Zamfir, the lead researcher for PoS, tweeted that he thought agnostic fees were a dumb idea, because they'd be too much trouble for miners.

A lot of contracts are easier to write if you assume a single currency. If you're doing that you have to pick one, and ether seems like the obvious choice.

I mostly agree with your last sentence but a high market cap doesn't reduce Ethereum's robustness either; in fact it makes it more secure.
I confess to not knowing very much about the black ambrosia that I love so much, but it does sound from your checklist that a lot of those qualities could eventually be automated.

Your recasting of the problem reminds me of the Axiom of Choice, which leads to similar questions if not included.
I concede i didn't do a lot of math, and I agree with the points raised here:

1. That the valuation preference is more relevant than the value cap. Altman is well aware of this, and I think himself might have brought it up in an interview (with Kara Swisher?). However, for our purposes, I am using the value cap as a measure of valuation for ease of use.

2. I agree with the other comment that one or two companys in the pool are doing the heavy lifting. There is a power law distribution.

So for the first preduction, i just looked at Uber's last value (again, I didn't account for the preference so this is misleading) at $68 Billion and think yes, Uber + these other companies will probably get up to $200 in another 4 years.

Similarly, I'll just pick the top 1 or 2 companies in a pool and guess that if we get over 20% of the value in one year then I just extend linearly.

Its not detailed, its just a quick mental short cut.
What if I'll tax the stuff you robots make? Vat could be 80% or more if money was pumped back into economy in form of basic income.
Or, you could not get married.
The whole point of marriage is to make an unmake-able promise. If you're going to start hedging before you even say the words, then what's the point?

Why does it matter that there is someone providing the financial backing for this suit? It seems to me that the only way it can really matter is if in US courts of law it's actually a case that the largest money-pot wins, and legalities or otherwise are largely irrelevant.

Oh, wait ...
If your spouse has the same amount of assets, and in foreseable future will continue earning about the same as you - maybe not.

If the spouse has less or more seems like a no brainer, why would you want to give her money she hasn't earned or take money you haven't earned in case of a divorce? So in 99% of cases - hell yeah.
I get the same result in Firefox and in Chrome it says This site can't be reached with a specific ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED error. I've been wondering why this item kept getting voted up but I couldn't even access it. I'm on Time Warner Cable in southern Kentucky by the way, could this be a network issue?

Edit: I should note that I cannot access this via HTTP either as I'm getting redirected to HTTPS.

Edit 2: Correction: If I force http:// in Chrome I can access the blog entry. I tried even using Private mode in Firefox and while I specify http:// the URL gets modified to https:// and I get the insecure connection message. Above I used the word redirect but I can see no evidence of an actual redirect in the developer interface. But it's not clear to me if the Firefox development interface Network tab would indicate a redirect response.

I do not have a citation. Are you aware of any combination of industries that have emerged in the last 30 years that have produced strong demand for unskilled or semi-skilled labor? Housing & construction hasn't blown up, manufacturing sector jobs have vanished. Mining is in sharp decline. Forestry has automated away most of it's workforce. Infrastructure is also in the toilet. So what am I missing?
An attorney friend of mine told me that discovery is being affected by this. Instead of having a team of higher level attorneys supervise a team of lower level attorneys (and maybe paralegals also) sorting through tons of papers in discovery, those high level attorneys train an algorithm on what documents are of particular interest from a small subset of them all (creating the training set) and then they let the algo do the work.

An anesthesiologist friend of mine went back and got his MBA because he's certain that machines will dramatically reduce the amount of jobs for anesthesiologists; you'll have one anesthesiologist supervising X machines instead of X anesthesiologists.

They cost $1. There is no reason they need to cost more than that.

I thought one of the key difficulties in analysing (and writing) good crypto implementations was making sure that they are both efficient and that there are no allocations of memory or branching that is key dependent. While it may be easy to prove an implementation insecure (find an example where there are obvious timing issues), isn't it still a matter of code analysis to show an implementation is actually secure?

> side note: I have to chuckle to myself when some point out that air pollution in China will be a limiting factor. It didn't stop the industrial revolution in the UK or US so why should it stop China? And it wasn't _that_ long ago that air pollution was a real problem for London and LA, for instance. Judging by history air pollution will be a thing of the past within one generation (25/30 years) in China. You can quote me on that.

I can think of a few factors that make Beijing different from the industrial revolutions of the US/UK.

(1) In 2016, the brightest can move to pollution-free zones which don't really exist in urban China

(2) Environmental policies were spurred on by environmental activism which was enabled by free speech. It's not clear this will happen in China. They keep saying the air quality will get better, but each year is worse than the last, and more and more rivers are no longer usable due to intense pollution. I think there's something to be said for the whole country being responsible and being able to protest about local conditions.

That said, I wish China luck.
Borland History: Will the Real Frank Borland Please Stand Up?
Good work, you avoided learning a thing! :hooray emoji:
URLs are not going away - like you point out, they are a reasonably good way for software to pass around a few bytes describing a resource location. Their usefulness for humans, particularly within a single site/web app, is less clear - e.g. if we ignore the domain name (which would be constant across a web app), this comment thread is described by 'item?id=11770774' - it doesn't mean anything, and so arguably is not worth displaying anywhere within the HN 'app'.
Certainly, but by this metric so are most of the things you care about. Property rights are undeniably theft, because the only thing stopping strangers from sleeping on your couch is your ability to have men with guns take them away if they try it.

The salient point here is that everything done with force is theft, but we depend on mild, egalitarian theft to keep society functioning. The primary issue with private theft is its asymmetry (every security system that doesn't deter a theft is a waste of money), while governmental theft is roughly symmetric and underlies even the institutions libertarians care about.

If you'd like that night watchman state to keep your neighbor from killing you and taking your canned beans, realize that you're asking for property reassignment through force. Not just taxation-theft to fund that government, the actual behavior you want is ownership determined by force. You haven't invented a grand claim against taxes, you've rediscovered the observation that somewhere down the line force (or the lack of it) is a consideration in every exchange.
Well, how many other people were running around literally calling Valleywag "terrorists"?
I'm curious if this is easier to handle with non-liquid assets?

Imagine he has a $100k fishing boat instead of $100k stuffed in a mattress. Is the spouse more willing to sign a prenup if it's easier to make the mental separation between "mine" and "theirs" when it's a physical asset?
It doesn't surprise me if the person who has less income and fewer assets wouldn't want a prenup. Or people who believe it shows a lack of full commitment, a wrinkle in their Medieval/Disney love story.

Prenups seem like a good idea for the partner with more assets, which is more often than not a male. Women are much more likely to initiate divorce.

"In a survey of 2,262 adults in heterosexual partnerships over the course of five years, Rosenfeld found that women initiate divorces 69 percent of the time.

On the whole, they also reported less satisfaction with their marriages than men."

I wouldn't count on it. We're talking about hedging on trust in a relationship whose primary component is trust. That is a blueprint for an emotional response. (And why shouldn't it be?)
Obesity is almost completely dominated by diet. Moving to New York, ditching the car, and walking everywhere netted me maybe 150 calories in deficit over the most active days. That's a soda or a beer, or a typical American office snack. Exercise can't come close to making up for how calorie dense most of our 'convenient' packaged food is.
You are right that some prenups are not enforced, for example, if one spouse can show that there is not a full disclosure of the other spouse's assets in the prenup, she was not represented by an attorney in signing the prenup, or she was not given enough time to review the prenup before signing it.
