In the vast majority of cases, a relationship that is broken with two participants is going to be broken with more than two participants. People don't suddenly become less obnoxious, more mature, less possessive, just because there's someone else around. If anything, existing problems tend to get rather amplified with the addition of more people.

The main case where this isn't true as much is when a relationship is otherwise good, but there are specific things that are missing -- there's not conflict, just things missing. For example, if one person in a couple enjoys BDSM and the other doesn't, adding someone that can fulfill that desire can be quite helpful.

There's always exceptions, of course, but that seems to be the way things generally work out.
Has anything changed on that front since 2013? Has the GRAT loophole been closed?

I have to admit that I don't really know what a depression is. I cannot relate to people who suffer because negative things happen in their lives. However I suffer from some depression-like symptoms (poor sleep quality, disinterest in life and any activities) plus many more (mental brain fog is the most profound, low muscle endurance, stuffed nose, fatigue from sitting in front of computer monitor) and it is a 10+ year journey. It took me a few years to discover the link some food types, which for some time can lift my symptoms. Only recently I have found out about methylation and was happy to find out foods that helped were rich in the nutrients required to lower homocysteine levels. If I was to find a best treatment strategy for people with problems like mine - it would require finding the underlying cause. That is - discovering accurate (and cheap!) ways of identifying deficiencies of various micro-elements (esp. zinc, folates (but not folic acid) and other B-complex vitamins) and determining effective methods of supplementation.
Also - there has to be some link between posture and fatigue. My nose feels much cleaner and I am breathing easier after doing exercises for my neck kyphosis. It also helps with digestion and overall feeling of well-being.
> Yes, force - it's tantamount to rape in my opinion.

No wonder you and your sister don't get along. This is completely ridiculous.
I agree the transparency was probably appreciated by most users. I also think the human factor should be considered not just the technical aspect. Here's my take on the issue...

That's one opinion, the Concorde was a success in many ways.
> can't just treat depression with games etc

Not that I disagree with that, but there are probably some games that could help a decent amount. I'll bet a language-learning app, for example, could help some people* considerably. Something like Duolingo is low effort to high reward, and learning a new language is harder to dismiss as pointless than most other human activities.

*ie: those with the energy to stick with it, and an interest in travel
Yes, it's definitely 'middle class'.

$500K/year is mid-range doctor salary (some earn much more) - it's enough to have a nice house or flat (probably in an expensive area - meaning that its' not even that nice, just has a good location), nice cars, travel, a cleaner, pay for your kids private schools, and have a cottage/second house.

But not that much more than that.

After all the 'added expenses' of a upper-middle-class lifestyle, they can sock away some money, but not that much.

I know several families in this range and you would not consider them 'rich' by any means. They're just 'well off'.

To be 'economic upper class' you'd have to be way past the many millions in net worth. I'd say more than $20 million at least. Probably more.

It has taken me almost 8 years to cut Facebook from my life, mainly because I used to log on to tend to my business page. However, like you, I decided enough was enough and went cold turkey 2 weeks ago.

Now 2 weeks later, when FB crosses my mind I am actually happy and sometimes grin thinking of how much I've benefited from quitting it!
I find the unbridled optimism just unfathomable. Here's two examples of plain old jet programs, small jets at that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Regional_Jet 1.5 billion dollars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_CSeries 5.4 billion dollars.

This is not a piece of software app that you can just launch whenever you feel ready full of bugs. You can't pull an Uber and say, hey fuck regulations, we will just do it (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/dec/19/uber-self...). Yeah, sure, if you want to fly between Inner and Outer Camelstan then you might get away with the very fashionable "disrupt" shit but if you want to fly airspaces controlled by the FAA, EASA, CASA -- and let's face it, the money is in New York, London and Sydney -- then you need to do better.

This is going to cost 5-10 billion dollars at least just based on the very fact that the C Series costed 5B and I can't see what here would make it cheaper. And it's not easy to see how are you going to recuperate that much money, this is not a big market and while obviously time is money, it's a very big question of just how much money. Gulfstream delivers 140 planes a year https://www.wsj.com/articles/general-dynamics-profit-rises-9... with about 2-2.5b profit a year. I absolutely can not see how these numbers will stack up. Is this another venture capitalist fueled hype? VC invests, hypes it up, gets rid of the stock, small investors at the end get to hold the bag.
" The people making 500K all have a pedigree. Those who come from humble backgrounds are exceptionally rare."

There are 3 million people in America earning more than $500K a year.

If any Ivy graduates 5K/year, let's say a nice round 10 Ivy Schools - that's 50K/year or 500K grads every 10 years.

That means it would take 60 years for the Ivies to produce enough grads to make up that 3 million.

At a '20% of Ivy grads to 1%-er rate' - you get only about 20% of those 3 million '1%-ers' as Ivy League grads.

Ergo - the clear majority of 1%-ers are not Ivy League grads. Not even close.

In banking, admittedly, it might be a little a higher ratio than other industries.

Instant Ping (particularly for teams where most people are on premise):

1. You have a computer (the Instant Pinger) setup. All it is is a monitor with a webcam and a faster internet connection, in addition to a small computer that can run the Instant Pinger and a keyboard, with super high quality mic.

2. When anyone (presumably an employee) sits in front of the Instant Pinger they're instantly, and automatically connected to you. You will immediately appear on the monitor and they will appear on yours. Text, video, and screen sharing will activated from your end to the monitor.

3. When they leave the connection immediately closes. There's no need to press disconnect for you are always "connected" to begin with.

Why?

Many say the serendipity of the office is what allows great ideas to spread. The Instant Pinger recreates this with an always on connection, and "presence to talk" messaging. A light could even be installed on the remote monitor to indicate whether or not the local (really remote) user is on their desk, or not.
Nice to hear. Concorde was a beautiful airplane, but limited to '60s technology (it even had vacuum tubes in the flight deck computers). But it did pave the way for a lot of technological advances at that time, such as carbon brakes etc.

Be good to see what engineers can come up with using current technology to make things stronger, faster and lighter.

Always intrigued by the fluctuations in the airline industry. I remember a time when it was said 'smaller aircraft were dead, and it is the time of the super jumbos', and now the reverse is true with airlines shunning huge aircraft for smaller aircraft that can do regional hops.

Given that the R&D and deployment process for a new aircraft type is measured over decades, it would be incredibly difficult to build a plane today that will fit the market in 10 years time. Hats off to Boeing, Airbus, Embraer et al for their efforts.
Try Gatsby. Pretty full featured and works well. Also very easy to get up and running quickly.

The problems mentioned can not be solved by means of software. They require extensive investment in infrastructure, management and willingness among states to cooperate. None of it is trivial.

And this does not say that you are. But if you are otherwise subject to American law by jurisdiction, storing your data on foreign soil does not exempt it from warrants. However if the storage provider itself has no US presence, it is much harder for the US government to compel them. But Google and the target of the warrant are subject to US courts so the physical location of the data is not relevant.

"Profit" is a technical term with a specific meaning; in this context it's the money left over after paying wages, rents, interest, and investing in the business.

Investments aren't fully deducted from profits in the current period. So if you're measuring profit over any finite period, investments during that period may not have been fully reflected in reduced profits. For example, if a business buys a printer this year for $500, the business's profits will not be $500 lower than if they had not bought the printer. They would likely by $166 lower (assuming 3-year straight line depreciation).

they get a lot of money, then they spend it, so there's nothing left to return to the investors which means by definition there's no profit.

You're confusing cash flow with profit. When you return money to investors, you return cash, either in the form of dividends, or in the form of share buy-backs. You don't need profits in order to return cash (e.g. you could borrow money secured on your factory, and then pay that money straight to shareholders) and having profits doesn't mean you have cash (e.g. you might have just spent a load of money on new machinery, which would reduce your cash flow without as large a reduction in current year's profits).
At the expense of 'Everybody dies if the slightest thing goes wrong.' And 'Everybody better be wearing space suits... Unless you want to get Souz-11'ed.

There is more then an order of magnitude of complexity between designing a vehicle that can travel at Mach 2, and one that can travel at Mach 22. Personally, I'd pass on the risks of hypersonic re-entry for my SEA->NYC flight... And on having to pee into an astronaut diaper.

Space travel (And a ballistic suborbital hop is 90% of the way there) is, as a mode of transportation, incredibly dangerous.
Since only a small fraction of people are unable to hear at all to the point where ASL not a hearing aid would be beneficial wouldn't it be easier and more practical to teach them both ASL and lip reading and speaking to the degree that is feasible.

In theory it would be fantastic to get the 95% to all learn ASL to better communicate it doesn't seem likely to happen. ASL for example isn't on my personal to do list not because I don't care but because I have other things higher on the list.

Vulkan leverages the compiler in the graphics drivers, like OpenCL. CUDA comes with a separate compiler that plugs into the system C/C++ compiler (this is often a pain). CUDA also ships with dozens of premade libraries for common compute tasks.
PureOS is just a Debian derivative (which attempts to get FSF approval like some other distros).

Purism has been talking up their work on a free firmware and disabled ME for two years now. They haven't gotten anything working until now.

I like what they're trying to do, and (roughly) how. I bought a Librem 13 and received it a year ago. But my overall impression is that they just didn't have the familiarity and expertise they needed on the software and firmware (and not enough money to buy enough expertise). Thus the slow and long-stalled progress on the coreboot port, the very slow and still somewhat disappointing development of the touchpad driver (which was the only driver they had to do real work on), and the confused/misinformed promises about the ME for the first year or so of the project.

But there isn't an alternative that's better in all dimensions, at the moment.

Actually, the benefits of pure functional programming are even more clearly exposed if you're doing complex IO operations like disk access and mutability. The ability to capture the effectful operations (read a table, write a row) as statically-typed action containers is invaluable because it lets you sequence the effects in a correct order with very little effort.

While Gatsby looks good, I remember that the last time I looked at it Gatsby was always loading all blog posts. This isn't a problem for a small blog but with a blog with hundreds of posts this wouldn't be efficient. Plus there are some SEO issues because of its SPA nature. Are this issues still valid or did Gatsby changed in these regards?
I'm curious what led you to such conclusions. That depiction does not match how I view the world at all.

Just because an item doesn't prevent one from starving or freezing to death does not mean it is an "artificially inseminated need".

Sure, GDP might drop 10% in the short-term if all advertising was banished. Who knows. What I do know is that people won't stop wanting things that make their life better, and in general will continue to buy such things.

Advertising is not what keeps us from a peasant lifestyle.
I make a point of getting out once a day to walk, shop or whatever. I still wear the same three day old clothes though. I probably look like a gold card wielding bum. But who cares. I get paid piles of money to do what I love (DevOps). +1 on the spa idea...

As the other poster said, any NVIDIA GPU would do. You probably want the latest architecture (Pascal), and check what PSU you have and what PCIe power options it has. Depending on that (no PCIe power, single 6 pin, dual 8 pin, ...) you can see how far up the range you can go and still have the card fit.
Your product lines are extremely impressive, great times ahead.
You are incorrectly replying. I don't think he mentioned his sister. That was my anecdote.

I don't think advertising is tantamount to rape.

Rape IMO, is one of the most heinous crimes a human can perpetrate on another.

But I do think the advertising industry is already well over-the-line that I am comfortable with. The insane fact that we let advertisers track us and keep files on us should make anyone nervous.

I'm not sure if English is your first language, but giardini's first comment in response to yours does not seem to be in any way "trolling" or "attacking" you. None of his later responses seem to, either. You may want to check yourself, because there was no good reason to accuse him of trolling you. You are the one out of line. You started this with your overly-confrontational attitude.

> Anyways, I would appreciate if you removed the downvotes -- there is no good reason you have downvoted my responses to you.

As for this, obviously somebody thought your responses were inappropriate. I agree with them, and would have done the same if I had the necessary reputation.

Quoting the HN Guidelines:
> Please resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
>I don't think anyone would argue that parents shouldn't be able to send their kids to top universities.

I would argue that. The university's time has come and gone. It's not valuable anymore.

>However, despite top universities accepting significant quantities of low-income and minority students, those students remain under-represented among the top earners; implying that it's your parents money and not your elite education that ultimately determined your earning potential.

That's far too simplistic an explanation. I think the fact is that at the point, a lifetime of non-quantifiable variables have piled up, and anyone who thinks they can suss out a general cause in an objective way is kidding themselves. That's a case of "Schrodinger's stats"; one can take any factor and contrive some semi-feasible background story by which it's among the principal causes, and anyone else who takes any other factor can do the same thing.

>I think a less contentious interpretation is that this data simply supports the theory that intelligence is mostly hereditary. And that a predisposition for intelligence can account for both the parents' as well as their offspring's high earning potential.

In many cases, I think that's a good theory. I would extend it to say it's not limited exclusively to intelligence, but also that more successful people are more likely to have characteristics that are useful for generating success, and thus are more likely to pass those some characteristics down to their kids.

I think overall, the issue is that many people are too insistent on a world that conforms tightly to their existing perceptions of fairness. They have not been taught to survive in the chaos and randomness that is the physical world, but rather they've been misled to believe in a pristine, curated world where anything they find distasteful or annoying is condemned and shut down. IMO, that is a sign of too much prosperity and not enough reality.
