What needs to be fixed?

Terrible divorce settlements really are about poor planning and communication of expectations than something inherent in marriage or common law relationships.

I don't think most people should get married or move in before age 30 - too easy to focus on the short term and get taken advantage of, unless you're really willing to make a leap of faith in the other person.

But otherwise divorce isn't as big of a deal when no children are involved and both partners work at reasonably equal jobs. Maybe there is a split in the house equity and bank accounts, with one party possibly giving a lump sum to the other, and you're done - mostly a clean break with no ongoing payments. I've seen this multiple times among friends.

It's when your partner is stay at home, marrying them (or in many jurisdictions, merely entering into common law relationship) also sets an entitlement of lifestyle and income.

Basically if your partner doesn't work, you need to be okay with supporting them to various degrees for the rest of your life, unless you can enter into a pre-nuptial agreement that says otherwise.

Now, add children into the mix and it's much more complicated and has nothing to do with marriage. Child support is technically the child's money, and the state enforces its payment on the grounds that your child is entitled to your earnings based on some kind of income-equity formula.

So for me, there never was any despair about finding a partner, it was more about understanding what I wanted:

- we split what assets we put into the marriage if it fails, what we brought in is mostly hands off so that the one with more property can't be milked. I say mostly because capital gains etc. may happen on past assets that your partner should be entitled to.

- we put each other into our wills otherwise and ensure we have life insurance for the other

- we both hold jobs, even if one of us makes more, alimony and child support wouldn't be absurdly high

- a partner that isn't afraid to talk about what their expectations are for lifestyle, income during and/or after the marriage if it doesn't work out

Being afraid of having your assets stripped implies you don't think you could hire a strong lawyer to defend your interests and also implies you wouldn't have the ability to define stuff before the marriage. But it's totally doable.

As with any life commitment there needs to be trust in another human being... but some safeguards if they turn out to be very different people than you had thought.

In the top-right corner of every US tax form, there is an OMB control number. It stands for estimated annual burden imposed on the public. The estimated burden consists of time spent multiplied by implied hourly cost. These estimates may appear innocent but they actually have a direct impact on the government, such as agency head count and budgets. The estimate for Form 1040 is as follows:

> [0] The average burden for taxpayers filing Form 1040 is about 15 hours and $280

If I add up my time as well as the tax accountant's time and fees to file taxes, this is quite underestimated. However, this is anecdotal evidence. What would be great is to have two fields on these forms where tax payers can enter the actual amount of time and expenses required to complete them, as part of the feedback. The agencies can then use the median to update their assumptions and act accordingly.

The author kinda bungles his analogy/explanation of collision avoidance and detection. Wireless networks don't use CSMA/CD. They use CSMA/CA. There's a huge difference, and it's one big reason why wireless throughput won't ever come close to PHY speed.

Wired ethernet uses CSMA/CD and it's one of the reasons it won the LAN networking wars of the 80's and 90's.
Integrated? No thanks then.
Virtually none of the handoff delay is actually due to L1 or L2. The PHY handoff itself can happen in less than 10ms, and with Pre-Auth that handoff is actually happening before you even leave one AP for another.
Ask HN: Why does Bluetooth still suck?
It doesn't. Courts take hardship into account, but only retroactively. If you had a good job, then lost it, your required payments will not automatically be adjusted. You will need to petition the court for an adjustment - which apparently many people lack the awareness or resources to do.

Sure you do: look at forums on portable tools with both battery and cord versions.

The charging time (and necessary backups for continuous use), weight, and low power provided all are cited as weaknesses of batteries.

The only advantages batteries have is increased portability and ability to provide power without existing infrastructure. Which is why we see batteries primarily limited to highly portable devices and backup systems (because they can store power more stably than capacitors).

Wifi sucks for anything that doesn't need to move or have issues preventing cabling (eg, infeasible to run a line through walls, but you can get signal). Batteries suck for anything that doesn't need to move a lot or an independent source of limited power.

So you claim.

But if they're a social reform movement, they'd very well disguised. They threaten journalists, exploit workers, engage in a variety of skulduggery, and create such a toxic working environment that they need a former Attorney General to investigate.

I think the more likely case is that they are what they appear to be: greedy, amoral people disguising an attempt to gain a monopoly using the guise of social reform.
It doesn't really matter what is running the physics, whether it's a "real" world doing that, or some other process that some then call "illusion" which imho the same anyway after all it's real enough that we're able to think inside of it. Whether it's an illusion or not, the fact is that the consciousness is still there. The process that makes us aware (not just the sensing, the ability to know you think about it etc...) of the information (the world, no matter how it works) needs to be explained.

Imho Douglas Hofstadter comes closest to trying to explain it without all that kind of pitfalls in "I Am a Strange Loop". Not that it actually truly explains it, but at least it acknowledges those things that make me normally dismiss theories that could explain consciousness.

When we run out of land. And eventually oil..and there is no more rural land...all the giant farm machinery will be useless. When there are no more trained farmers because noone is doing it anyways because it's not a viable or $$ earning job, there needs to be a repository of knowledge about food production. I don't know if weeding violas would be necessary then but it wouldn't hurt to have AI keep a record of what violas look like..substitute violas with chard or Eggplant. It's about what to pick and what to leave behind.

For example..to recognize tomatoes ready for picking, colour sensors wouldn't work..there are so many diff colours to tomato and sometimes variegated shades. How would you know which tomato the bots got to pick? Certainly not by colour. Somethings like red apples and strawberries turn fully red when they are ripe..but not others.

There are firmness sensors..some sensors are so sensitive that when it grabs a fruit it can measure the minute 'give' when it ungrabs it..there are brix sensors. Altho I haven't seen them. I only know brix sensors from wine industry where you can pretty much measure sweetness of the liquid. But I have heard there are Brix sensors that can measure level of sugars without hurting soft fruits so only the sweetest fruit is picked and the unripe is left behind without being touched or squeezed by a robotic gripper.

I agree..simpler animals have had millions of years headstart with their design..but it's perfected to do their job. Ask any gardener about gophers(or see caddy shack) and they'd tell you that we haven't evolved to defeat them yet! The simple virus is the most elegant and beautiful and most advanced organism because it keeps mutating and we can't defeat it. So there is something to be said for nature(which is why it makes me nervous when it keeps disappearing due to human ignorance and apathy and arrogance)

I will certainly touch base with you. Thanks for the discussion.
Only works if you don't treat women like chattel and remove the financial disincentive to end abusive relationships. Enter MRA crybabies re: alimony, child support, etc.
In addition to feedback from people, it's really useful to take video (which is easy these days) and carefully watch it. It really makes you aware of distracting habits and verbal tics.

I have an interview style podcast and editing makes me very aware of verbal tics in both myself and others.

You may find it easier to record yourself while speaking to others though. At least for me, just talking into a camera in my office can feel very awkward.

ADDED: I have taken courses through my employer a couple of times. They've been useful but I agree with everyone else that observing others who you think do a good job, practice, and feedback are generally more useful than taking a course as such. I wouldn't dissuade someone from taking a course but don't go in expecting to learn the magic formula.
It’s easy to disregard nothingness because there’s no thought available to encapsulate it.

There’s no metaphor that fits because, by definition, once the nothingness becomes tangible, it ceases to exist.

Yes, old school partnerships are dying, but that doesn't make males more disposable.

If anything,it gives men and women more options and opens up our society to fine tuning. (effects of large scale single momhood/dadhood, competetive job markets and novel family and supporting social structures) the old was nice, but if a single unit can function and achieve what a complex unit used to, wed all benefit. Supposing the experiment doesn't end in failure and twist society. Though even if it does, we'll self correct. After all, nature still rules us.

It's a culture of work hard, fuck-young and marry-old(er) for partnership for the coming future, we'll see where that takes us.

> It is wicked hard to convey the destruction, loss. Especially to policy makers.

The problem is that data needs to be transformed into a story, in order to communicate anything meaningful.

But as soon as you turn data into a story, you introduce some degree of bias, which inevitably becomes politicized.

The only way around this is there's no way around this. We have to accept the reality that the agenda hawks (on both sides) will continue to polarize issues. Continue to use the tools and data available to us to tell the best stories we can, while understanding that no one story is the truth. All the while, we have to avoid succumbing to the deep polarization being used against us to divide and conquer. We are all in this together.

> or b) just use Rust to extend and piecemeal replace old apps (since it supports linking to C and/or C++ libs).

Yes, Rust's FFI support is nice, but rewriting piecemeal is still rewriting. (And retesting.) It should be faster and easier to just replace unsafe elements in existing code. Of course, that doesn't conflict with choosing Rust for new components and rewrites of existing components when the time and resources are available.

Btw, I haven't investigated lately, what is the state of Rust interoperability with C++ interfaces?

Meet the tiny phone company that’s making modularity sustainable
When multiple people take it a different way than I intended, then I must assume that it's my fault and I did a bad job of communicating my idea.

I could rephrase what I meant to say as simply try to talk less about what you need and talk more about what the company needs. Let the company ask you about what you need.

As other people have pointed out, getting a job is similar to dating. Mutual interest makes a good pairing, and two parties that are only self-interested makes a bad pairing. It would be a bad idea to tell someone they should date you because you really just want to have sex with someone -- anyone -- right? It's a bad idea to date someone you like who doesn't like you, but agrees to it anyway because you pay for meals. It's a good idea to date someone who likes your personality and looks, and someone who's personality and looks you like, someone who you genuinely want to learn more about and look forward to talking to every day.

> Is it that weird that there's an expectation

What's weird is that you attribute any importance to appearances, and prefer one type of appearances over another.

You know what they say: judge people by what they do, solely by what they do. Never by what they say. This isn't even caring about what he says, but caring about the way he says it, even worse.

> You don't think his communication style might have been risky during the Cuban missle crisis, for example?

During that same Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviets sent two letters. One that appeared ranting and almost drunkenlike, and one that appeared diplomatic, reasoned and moderate. The first was probably sent by Khrushchev, so he could seem tough, and the other by his advisors, who didn't have as much to prove. Yet the Cuban crisis went fine, because the US expected Khrushchev to behave like that, and weren't surprised by it.

Same with Trump, who's just as predictable as any other politician (I would say more so) if you follow him enough.

You care about appearances (which never matter) when what matters is expectations and consistency.

What a lame and supercilious comment.
I think you might be dismissing the article while actually agreeing with its core argument. It's not about a substrate on which reality is running - it's about access to the mechanisms of consciousness and how our view of consciousness doesn't reflect those mechanisms fully.

Dennett's explanation basically uses Hofstadter's conception.
I didn't declare that anyone should cease to be competitive. I simply pointed out that the proximate cause of the problem is a decrease relative to women, not any absolute decrease in position as the parent post claimed.
Yes, I would agree with your statement that what matters is who you're trying to impress. If you want to impress a graduate admissions committee, they are going to prefer certain schools for various reasons. When I think of an "elite" school, I am thinking in a more traditional sense. You aren't networking with the offspring of the people who are running countries and industries, the overall reputation and the type of students who attend are what separates "target" and "elite" schools. Outside of job interviews you don't really have the option to go through your CV and explain your research and related publications. Telling someone that you went to school in New Haven is much more impressive than telling them you went to CMU for this reason. I doubt Mark Zuckerberg would have met an Eduardo Saverin at CMU or UIUC.

> Clearly, Rust has a clever approach but I'm questioning whether it is in fact a usable approach. [...] Yes, I do like textual substitution.

These two statements are not consistent. Textual substitution is not usable. The pitfalls with it have been well documented for decades, and yet the same problems persist. Why on earth would you want to perpetuate the list of problems caused by such a facility?

Syntactic macros are absolutely superior to textual substitution. You can take issue with Rust's currently limited support for macros, but to propose textual substitution as a viable and more usable alternative is simply absurd.
Unlike "as binary" or "as a big integer", a tree is structured. "As an arbitrarily-formatted string" would be much closer to those two comparison points.
