Your last sentence brings up something I've been thinking about for a long time, namely that secular philosophy seems completely blind to children or to the needs of family and child rearing.

It's a fairly massive shortcoming. Philosophy must address all of human life, not just the aspects that apply to early 20s single people and that subset of society that doesn't have kids.

Some secular communities actively seem to discourage children and belittle people who care about them. It's also common to see full time moms mocked, which I see as misogyny.

I usually get attacked in forums for bringing this whole topic up.

Needless to say if not believing in God means you don't want to reproduce, then the advent of birth control will guarantee a 100% religious future. Not only are ideas passed from parent to child through cultural mechanisms but if there is any biological basis for religiosity it is now being strongly selected for.

In an ultimate cosmic irony those who deny evolution on religious grounds seem to have higher fitness.

I have my own hypothesis about this. I think there may be a philosophical "uncanny valley" (fitness valley) between pre-rational superstitious thinking and true rational thought. IMHO this valley has not been crossed. A true fully formed rational worldview would manage to carry everything forward including fertility and spirituality. So far every attempt at conceiving such a thing has landed in New Age lala land but maybe we should not give up.
> We don't ever plan to get married because I don't like the government telling me what to do

What about the government telling other people what to do about your relationship? If one of you were seriously hurt, would the hospital accept the other's instructions as a medical or legal proxy, etc?

I don't know how things work in your country, but in the US, Austria and Italy, there are street parking spots that are public. They do not belong to anyone. If it's a problem that they're always full all the time, you can adopt strategies to create some turnover.

This is far superior to the government dictating X parking spots per house (2 in the city I live in), and Y per type of business.
> I care for the suffering of all people, and am willing to give up large chunks of my life remaining for social causes. I live below my means so people I've never met can live a better life.

You say this, but it doesn't jive with your original comment. Choosing words and conduct carefully are the "low hanging" fruit in this world, they cost you nothing, but have material impact on the groups you are a part of.

Dunno. I was surprised a few years back when i discovered that one of the Unreal games used OGG compression for its music.

This because a friend didn't know about the format but wanted to play them.

The Disaster Factory
I just skimmed the article, it is not too obviously a crackpot paper, the author seems to know what he is talking about at least to a certain extend, and I did not notice any obvious nonsense like cosmic energy vibrations. But it still looks and feels very amateurish as compared to serious physics papers. If you then look at the titles of the books the author has published - search for Stephen Blaha on Amazon - and find things like »Quantum Big Bang Cosmology: Complex Space-time General Relativity, Quantum Coordinates, Dodecahedral Universe, Inflation, and New Spin 0, 1/2, 1 & 2 Tachyons & Imagyons« your crackpottery alarm should probably go off.
The author has a degree in history. Perhaps it would be helpful to have an economist write an article about economics. I am not one, but at least have training in jobs that require analysis and not dogma.

1. Wages are just part of the overall benefit package per worker. Healthcare costs to firms have been rising dramatically and these higher healthcare costs (even as employers are having workers pay more out-of-pocket) have resulted in a flat overall wage payout.

2. What should be focused on is overall standard of living and not wages. In cities such as my own, NYC, but also SF, LA, SD, Boston, DC, the price of housing and commercial real estate (an increasing cost to businesses which can result in lower wages paid out) is caused because of "rent-seeking" that causes an artificial scarcity of land through politics that limit zoning density with the resultant higher proportion of income going towards housing costs. The rent-seeking benefits special interests which in this case are wealthy landlords such as Donald Trump.

3. Importing illegal immigrants holds down wage costs among the working class. Except for Trump, almost all Democratic and Republican Presidential candidates wanted to import illegal immigrants.

4. Exporting factory jobs to China and Mexico have also kept wage rates low.

5. The abuse of H1-B Visas have helped to keep wages lower among STEM workers. H1-B Visas are supposed to be used only in the case where there is no American with the skill set to fill the job. Many Democrats and some Republicans actually want to increase the number of H1-B Visas to further depress STEM wages. Trump campaigned against H1-B Visa abuse and spoke against Disney replacing 250 American IT workers with H1-B from India, a clear abuse of H1-B. Clinton did not speak out against H1-B Visa abuse.

6. Raising minimum wage by law to $15 per hour as the author suggested demonstrates to me that he wants to take this simplistic solution which ends up with higher costs to poor people who have to buy goods and services.

In summary, instead of focusing on wages alone, focus on standard of living much of which is poor because of rent-seeking which benefits wealthy landlords to the cost of everyone else. When focusing on wages, deal with the structural issues which are 1) increasing costs of healthcare and other benefits 2) increasing real-estate costs to businesses, 3) eliminating illegal immigrants 4) eliminating H1-B Visa abuse and decreasing the number of H1-B Visas.

Raising the minimum wage through law simply lowers the standard of living to the poor such as retirees on fixed incomes as the grocery store costs and other costs increase.
Pair Programming to the rescue once again
There does not seem to be any mention of big party nor being friends in later age in article. There is mention of career for women (that is not a party) and expectation of completely different lifestyle for married man and married women in the article. Men is supposed to work (in japan context means maybe Sunday afternoon off), so I don't think couple gets to know each other to be friends.

The only real externalities mentioned are that

1.) You cant keep up with Jones if Jones have two incomes and you have one (It kinda assumed that if we both have to work it counts as external obstacle to marriage. E.g. the assumption seems to be that people want 1960 middle or higher class marriage and don't bother when they cant get exactly that).

2.) No one arrange "suitable" marriage for you and there is no societal pressure to marry for you.

I would say, that if you need pressure to marry, then maybe you do not want to marry. I would also say, that both points are you making marriage decisions based on social status it brings to you, in which case I am quite happy you are not my partner.
There's a fundamental flaw hiding under arguments like yours: the "civilization" you're circumscribing is an imaginary and arbitrary boundary. An ahistorical retcon. It's as unsupported as discredited racial theories that all humans fit into three tidy buckets ("caucasoid", "mongoloid", "negroid").

For example, maybe you're talking about "Christendom". But then it's not actually in decline -- hispanics are part of Christendom, and Christianity is growing in Africa, so on net it's growing, not shrinking.

Maybe you mean the population within the actual geographic boundaries of Europe and the former British colonies (including America). But if that's your definition, then you would accept immigration as a solution, and you would admit that America is already doing fine.

Maybe you're talking about people who live in societies with constitutions that ultimately derive from the ideas of the enlightenment. But again, not shrinking.

Maybe you're talking about a specific local cultural tradition -- but then it's not really "the West" that's in decline. "Western civilization" necessarily spans a huge range of cultures, otherwise you can't successfully take credit for everything from Socrates to Charlemagne to Descarte to Luther to Newton to Einstein. Consider the magnitude of the cultural turnover across that span!

Is South America part of "Western civilization"? It's literally in the western hemisphere and colonized by Spain and Portugal. If you're really talking about having a connection to European cultural history, it clearly fits. But if we include it, then again the decline disappears. Guatemalan immigrations to the US can't be a non-western invasion.

What it boils down to is, people use "western civilization" as a cover for "white people just like me". But there's no non-racist way to equate that with "civilization".

Our civilization -- the actual web of relationships and institutions that keep the lights on -- is clearly doing fine. That web is fundamentally global, as much as that annoys chauvinists. And globally, the world is getting richer and more equal at a rapid pace. Mortality is falling. The population is not in decline, although it has a good shot at plateauing in the coming decades, which will be a good thing.
If we want to be picky about it, the next one after 30 is "shut the app down, tear it apart, and rewrite from scratch. Anything less than 30 is completely unacceptable."
"I am in the market for a cloud GPU offering, and I have to say the big cloud providers are very uncompetitive here, only offering these old, slow GPUs.
"

It's one thing if one of them is like that, but if all of them are like that, maybe it's not because of the cloud providers?
I understand. What I mean is that if your word-size is not your addressing-size, you'd better not have a concept of mis-aligned accesses. It's trouble you brought on all by yourself.
There is also the fact that we have more than enough food to go around (at least among the nations producing the food). I expect the AL farmers don't have the resources to pay more for workers, but they cannot afford to pay more because the crop isn't really needed in the first place. Nobody in the US, that I am aware of, went hungry because of that failure. If that loss was going to be devastating to the consumer, they would have opened their wallets to ensure it got harvested.
> Personally, I think it'd be better if people joined into polyamorous groupings; it's better for kids, and provides a more stable home life than only having 2 parents.

As an introvert, this is my idea of hell. I have one wife, one child, and two cats - and that's about the maximum I can currently handle, emotionally and... attentively? Adding more significant relationships in my life would be really, really, really taxing.
The actual act of slavery existed as an accepted institution for longer than this computing term has. If we can make slavery a thing of the past (in the western world), we can also update to a more technically correct description of the behavior.

The term "slave" isn't even a good technical term. It would be better to call it a follower or replica which better approximates it's actual role. Not only is it "politically correct" it's also "technically correct", the best kind of correct.
What do you mean by re-allow?

Or GTX 1080 ti. Aren't the Tesla class like the P100 mostly super overpriced for deep learning because their only main advantage is Double (64 bit) float support, and no one really needs that? Plus half float (16 bit) support, which is not super widely used (but certainly more than double). Something like 95%+ of Deep Learning must be done with single floats (32 bits) right now afaik, making this a fairly dubious expense
In that vein, I read a piece recently. The gist was that, if you launch a TV show today that takes a season or so to get its footing and figure out how to tell its story, you're increasingly not going to make it. Of course, lots of shows have always been canceled early on. But, at least speaking for myself, today there are so many good to great shows that I don't have time to watch that if you don't grab me in an episode or two I'm tuning out.

> And for me at least, the main take-away from the image of the concentration camp is clear: elections have consequences, so take your vote seriously. Form a functional coalition with others to elect the least terrible person you can.

At least in the U.S. a potent mix of cynicism and tribalism with the two party system makes this extremely difficult. Lots of people take for granted that the system is broken. But when you actually begin to discuss policy they are likely to interpret criticism of their cynically chosen party's position as cynical politically motivated flak and defend accordingly.

In that kind of environment "least terrible" doesn't seem to function anymore.

I've wondered if one attack on this vicious cycle could be flippism. Exercising my right to vote for a randomly chosen candidate may be repulsive enough to most Americans that they may actually prefer to use their critical thinking skills to convince me not to do that. (I.e., I don't think most Americans are as cynical as they claim to be.)

I think the majority of it is sheer time. A bootcamp grad has generally been coding for three months. A CS grad has (ideally) been programming for four years.

Take a bootcamp grad after 3.5 years of work vs a fresh CS grad and it's (often) a no-brainer, up until you start running into the need for theoretical knowledge a CS grad has. I've never once heard a bootcamp talk about scaling or architecture in any real way.

> presumably to make everyone depended on US-operated satellites (at least the last one is probably the reason why Russia and the EU both now operate their own system)?

This is also why the US said they’d shoot down the EU system unless the EU would construct it in a way that the US could easily jam it. Now it has that backdoor in it. We shouldn’t have let them extort us like that.
Isn't Dart compiled to JavaScript? As far as I can tell by playing around with DartPad, a normal int in Dart carries no runtime information indicating that it is an int (other than the fact that it is a JavaScript-level int).

If you wanted to add variants to Dart, you'd either need to add this runtime information, or limit the Dart typesystem to be no more and no less than what the JavaScript typesystem already stores dynamically.
This article also struck a chord with me. About 3 years ago I started working half-time as a software developer at a civil engineering company. Originally they wanted to hire me because they had some 3D visualizations in their software with which they had problems and I, coming from a game development background, could help them out. By now, I'm deeply immersed in geotechnical topics on a daily basis and I think it's fair to say that I've became a valuable asset for them.

However, I've been having doubts about how long I should still stay there, because of this 'digital nomad' lifestyle which seems to be so popular now (and which appeals to me also). So, that article was a little relief for me, seeing that there are indeed still people who value a willingness to immerse oneself deep into a topic and come up with novel and simple solutions to problems your users face in that field (something which I've liked about software engineering from the start).

Also, to add to your point about the CS courses: I think the math-heavy courses, although they really may be overdoing it in a lot of CS courses, can at least help sharpen your analytical thinking skills. This can help tremendously when you're thrown into something new where the most important thing you need to do is figure out what the problem actually is and what people need from you to solve it.

My changing my tech terminology isn't going to fix systemic racial tensions. It's not going to fix white officers getting away with killing unarmed black civilians. It's not going to fix the mass incarceration of black males due to broken public policy over the last few decades. It's not going to fix systemic policy issues that lead to a higher chance of poverty for minorities, preventing class mobility.

In my profile, what is noprocrast?

It's a way to help you prevent yourself from spending too much time on HN. If you turn it on you'll only be allowed to visit the site for maxvisit minutes at a time, with gaps of minaway minutes in between. The defaults are 20 and 180, which would let you view the site for 20 minutes at a time, and then not allow you back in for 3 hours. You can override noprocrast if you want, in which case your visit clock starts over at zero.

Not entirely accurate.

The migrant farm laborers are actively avoiding Alabama as a result of anti-immigrant legislation that passed a few years ago. Even though it was subsequently voided by court order, the workers remember it, and are not stupid, so they will demand a premium for dealing with Alabama's racist, protectionist bullshit.

And even paying that is cheaper than offering the sort of labor standard that a citizen--even a high-school dropout or ex-con--would expect in America.

That's pretty much what they deserve for voting the same party in every election, without regard to their own economic self-interest.

Edit: The state raised the perceived cost of working for migrant laborers, to the point that the prevailing wage offered by the farmers is no longer sufficient to entice those workers to come to work. They aren't lowballing to preferentially employ migrants, they are just lowballing all labor, period, because as commodity producers, the labor expenses cut directly into their profit margin.

"It's also common to see full time moms mocked, which I see as misogyny."

Well, it is not like really conservative christians would seen women as equally capable as men - it just seen as natural that women cant naturally compete and thus is better off at home. (And dont tell me no, I read local conservative christians journals, have friends in that community and occasionally visit catholic church with conservative priest.)

The only real difference is that one group see moms as throwing away skills while the other as never having them in the first place.
