There are so many factors that come into play when deciding to have a child w cost of living being just one of the many. In areas where people are delaying having a family only after establishing their career, people consider: reduction to one income or cost of daycare; what needs of children will do to career and the hours required for career; commute time if having to move out a bit for more affordable housing; concerns with schools (quality of education and violence in the school systems); higher incidents of disabilities based on the age of mother; and rising costs of everything. Autism is steadily increasing and this shows no signs of changing. Discrimination is rampant against pregnant women or mothers in the workplace, and general societal ills all make people question if they want to have children.

It would be very difficult to pinpoint with any accuracy why people are delaying or forgoing parenthood. Some reasons may be very personal or may be viewed as insensitive and may keep someone from stating the real reason why they choose not to have children. They may also may not be able to have children and give a reason because they do not want to share what they may see as something very private.

Maybe this article would be better titled “Is high rent contributing to the decline ..... in high density areas?”
I like I'm sure many predicted this would be inevitable regardless how better one product is over another. At the end of the day Spotify can't compete with Apple's budget, and music streaming isn't a long term profitable business on it's own. I love Apple and deep into their ecosystem. However, certainly not a fan of Apple Music. When using on the Mac iTunes is rather horrific since everytime I search it searches local music rather than Apple Music or vice versa, or its in the Podcast tab, etc. They need a dedicated Music app for Mac and universal search without the iTunes store. I'm sure they are moving towards this but until then rather miserable. The Spotify app isn't as clean looking but is much more practical and enjoyable to use. Finally, Apple is about curated playlists, where is Spotify is about algorithms which in my experience is the better route. So while Spotify maybe the better product, at the end of the day, Apple Music is more seamless for people in the Apple Ecosystem of Siri, HomePod, AppleTV and all and in the end will win out. Let's hope Spotify stay's long enough to make Apple Music better.

Forgot to add, that personally, I love YouTube Music. The algorithms and search and pool of countless remixes, live performances and old videos/music not on other places is unmatched. It lacks the Apple Ecosystem benefit, but is a hidden gem
What's the issue, I am pretty sure it's a bad idea to eat rotten food.
In gymnastics?

Certainly, they don't let you play football much until you're 6-9 and then not seriously until you're 12-14. Likewise, basketball and baseball. But very few professionals or top amateurs (for those sports where that is the top) started much later than the earliest they could.
I was thinking it's a business decision. Let's play as much public domain cheesy songs as possible and not have to pay.

Ummm Apple you have so much money and that's because you are so focused on providing the best phone UX. Why aren't you providing the best music streaming svc UX? Boggles my mind!

I have just one complaint, and it's the Siri integration. I was having a frustrating day and I like a playlist called something like "chill" or "just chill" or "relax" or something like that... so I ask Siri to play relaxing music. Can't find it. Siri, play chill music. Can't find it. Siri, play chill playlist. You don't have a playlist called chill. Siri play calming music. Now playing Daft Punk "I Feel It Coming".

Everything else, eh the only good music UX was Zune, and Microsoft being Microsoft couldn't appreciate a good thing. But not having best-in-breed Siri integration is unacceptable and Siri is literally the only reason I use Apple Music. Now I'm re-thinking it.
The article notably excludes Orrin Hatch - if you are wondering how politics could possibly play into this, he made the entire supplements industry possible by using his power to exclude dietary supplements from oversight by the FDA and creating a cycle where the industry kept on funding Hatch in order to get favourable legislation. Utah is the home of quack medicine.

> Ad free YouTube: why not?

This already exists in the form of a $10 monthly subscription, $15 for a Family Plan and is included with Google Play Music All-access (and vice versa).

Just make sure you're subscribed, signed in and bam, no ads. True you could just use and ad-blocker, and I have an ad-blocker, but if you stream as much off YouTube as I do, it's worth it to be a paying customer rather than a belligerent user.

I quite honestly doubt that's the case.

I'm frequently critical of both tech and HN. My comments survive. Idlewords has done quite a few stripes better than myself on both counts.

If you've questions about comments, policy, or rating/voting (there can be a hivemind active at times), toss an email to the moderators (hn <at> ycombinator <dot> com). I've found they're responsive and generally pretty fair. Even when I'm disagreeing strongly with them.

Well that being said, Spotify was working really hard in the meantime on making their UX worse than ever before. They came a long way since 2009 (back then it was actually pretty good). A few more years of this innovation and it might get even worse than iTunes.
So, I strongly believe that there is always going to be an arms race between the government surveillance and people who will want to circumvent such measures. Like people who use tor, VPN, cryptocurrencies etc.

Advancement in technology was always going to enable better surveillance capability and anarchists had to always come up with new ways to dodge it.

Does this new initiative from Chinese govt change anything at meta level? To me, it doesn't feel like a paradigm shift, but merely the next logical step in status quo.

That's assuming that the random number generator is truly random, and not a deterministic pseudo-random-number-generator, which will _necessarily_ produce a sequence of numbers that satisfy certain statistical properties, over a long enough run.

It's unlikely, but possible, to roll a 6-sided die 100 times in a row and get 100 6's.

In basically every PRNG algorithm, there is _no_ reachable state which will result in 100 6's in a row.

This funding was for verification work, which was applied to Rust. Rust is a relatively new language, and hasn't been the focus of much research yet. C and C++, in contrast, has already been the subject of tons of research and tooling. For example, Wikipedia lists 28 static analysis tools for C, and none for Rust:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tools_for_static_code_...

Is there a particular project for a particular language you think is promising and just needs some funding? Or does it just irk you when other people are happy?

EDIT: I'm also not sure why you assume that none of this EU funding is going to your language(s) of choice; have you checked?
If the 85th percentile is faster than what is safe, you need to change the road design so that the 85th percentile goes down, not just raise the speed limit.
Python allows the overriding of just about every operator. For Pathlib they overrode the division operator to instead perform path addition in a platform agnostic manner.
I really enjoyed this and after it was over had no idea I had been watching it for an hour. This story could make a good movie in the vein of Pirates of Silicon Valley.

That said, the note at the end about how Vladimir Pokhilko ended up killing his wife, son, and himself was more dark than I expected. What a shame.
Yep. You even see some of that in King of Kong when Walter Day says that Billy Mitchell is good for Twin Galaxies.

I'd say it's part naivete (taking friends at their word), part incompetence (not fully vetting scores, especially early on), part complicity (gaming heroes make them seem like a stable of giants). Hard to know what % of each.

It's an incredibly narrow band of fame, of attention, by a weird subculture that 99% of humanity pays no attention to, but for some people I guess it's important.
It's also not pleasant for Einstein to die in a car crash before realizing his genius, or George Washington before leading the Revolution, or Cincinnatus before saving the Romans or...

Sure, if you're 80 and facing down a life sentence in a nursing home, do whatever you feel is best. But if you're actively arguing that random people dying in car accidents is a good thing... you know car crashes kill children too, right? They kill good people too, right? They kill smart people. They kill anyone, by pure random luck. They kill your mom, they kill your spouse, they kill your child.

If someone wants to die, sure, let them die. If someone wants to live, I think it's best to minimize the ways they could unintentionally die. But by all means, if you want to stop wearing a seatbelt, you go right ahead. I'm going to buckle mine anyway. And I'm going to try to avoid smallpox, because I am not absolutely insane and I don't have some crazy death fetish.

Women getting into an area doesn’t bring down value as the title implies.. but one thing in the article I think is true that areas that are more accessible to get into with fewer years of training such as from code camp graduates, then the people in that field will try to differentiate themselves by saying they are back end engineers. It truly does take way more time, effort and a level of persistence to be able to glue together the Linux kernel, various internet services, cloud, etc compared to building UIs for the web. The main issue I think is the quantity of people available to do the backend.. so commands a higher price. I think if there were no women in the front end side the wage would still be lower for those people since it would have more people available to do it in the job market. I also think many men assume they will not be good at UI development and just don’t even try to do front end stuff. So that lowers the quantity of men going that direction.
I agree it's incredible but (shurg) it's what is. Granted like I said before on the top above/bellow the only real choice Women can make is to Marry or Partner who can financially support them and there children during the first five years. Then once the children go to kinder-garden, school they re-enter the work-force on a part-time basis.

Though I don't have the numbers with me but here in Australia Asian families out-source the raring of infant's and children to the grand-parents. Although talk to any Western family (especially baby boomers) they want nothing to do with raising grand-children.

Google Music's multi-device support is terrible though.

"Playback Paused Because Your Account Is Being Used in Another Location"

I have a Google Music Family Plan ("up to 10 devices each"). But it simply doesn't work, I cannot even play both YouTube and Google Music on the same account, let alone playback on multiple devices.

We have a few Google Home Minis and a Google Home. They were initially all set up using the same Google Account (with the Google Music Family Plan), that meant music could only play on one device throughout the whole house and computers would be blocked if any Google Home started music playback.

The only workaround is to create a new Google Account per device, then hook it into your family group which will receive your family plan. I now have four additional completely useless Google Accounts just so I can play back music in different rooms or use YouTube and Google Music at the same time.

Netflix is the only service which gets multi-device right.
That's too much effort. I guess your workaround worked after all.

Another perspective (Nietzsche's) is that conquering is man's noble state, and that sin is an invention that allows people to pretend otherwise.

Just giving that a cursory thinking through, I can see several ways in which that might fail.

"Real-estate-based economies can't fail from becoming too profitable. If prices and rents are high, it's only because people are still willing to pay them. It's market forces in action."

Or, perhaps, it's rents-extraction, money-laundering, signs of even worse collapse elsewhere, and killing the underlying fundamentals of the local economy.

I suspect there's similar lines of analysis which could be applied to tourist spots. And am wondering what examples of now-failed tourist temples there might be. Say, Niagara Falls, as an example.

I like that one of the high end techniques was to social-engineer a banknote printing company of repute, to print your banknotes.

Those moments when high end US government officials get given proof sheets of banknotes, one-sided half-printed notes, Steve Woz gets his banknotes bound into a cheque-book like thing.. They're on the fringe of 'what is money' questions too.
Hmm. What is the percentage of your net income you pay for rent? I'm asking because across the street from Hyde Park must be an expensive area and I agree that 65k salary in London is nothing to write home about. It's decent but doesn't make you rich. How many bedrooms are you renting? I assume that if you wanted to start a family you would need to move to a cheaper location and adjust your lifestyle?
Playing in a browser is unfortunately a non-starter for me. It burns way more CPU than a native player, doesn't integrate well with the MBP media controls, and can't download songs locally for listening when I'm on a bad network connection. Spotify is still my first choice but I do really miss being able to upload my own music for things that aren't in their catalog.

I don't use Apple music because I'm not willing to commit to a single-platform service.
Unless it has been edited, the original comment doesn't say memory safety, it says "so many restrictions and problems are likely to provoke people to rely on whatever option happens to work, which might not be the best/safest one". The reply to that comment then interprets safety as memory safety and compares to C and C++. This is kind of my point.

Rust defines safety as memory safety, but unfortunately memory safety is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to safety. Logic errors are just as pernicious.

Programmers have a natural bias towards solving problems with technical solutions, but for me, Rust's memory safety is achieved at the cost of a high productivity penalty and a moderate readability penalty. Both of these reduce my ability to understand and manually verify the code.

Whereas languages that achieve memory safety via a GC, allow me to focus my mental energy on writing correct code, not on memory management.
Further, it works really well with "Assistant" / Home. "Play that song that goes ... " "Go back 10 seconds" "Pause" "Resume" "Listen to song X on all speakers" "Play Journey song from the Tron Soundtrack" all work well... but... they've got no damned API, so that sucks.
And of course the damage to the vehicle....”smash and grab.” While a side window may not be too costly, what if it is raining and interior damaged, etc. These costs to higher end vehicles could be quite costly.

IT blocks Spotify? That's just bizarre. I would personally quit working at any place that tried to infantilize employees by blocking sites like that.
I think many of the people coming into the software engineering field by unconventional paths often start out as web designers and then move on to web development. One reason these people may be making less money than software engineers working on the back end is that they have far less experience. I started programming at 13, spent 5 years getting a computer science degree, and now I've spent my entire career doing software development. If you consider my level of experience at say 28 vs someone who first learned to program only in their mid-to-late-20s, there's a big difference.

Also many people who move from web design to web development may stay there, not because they're stuck, but because it already pays pretty well and they like it.
The longer each game session goes, the closer the RNG will be to average. This will happen even if you're only posting one-in-a-million runs. One-in-a-million when you pick 10 numbers is extremely biased. One-in-a-million when you pick a thousand numbers is only subtly biased.
Apple Music was a pretty roughly grafted-on experience to the iOS music app when it first debuted, but the version that came out with iOS 10 was a massive improvement, leapfrogging Spotify in my opinion. Spotify, ironically, has been moving in the opposite direction.
A serious number of Meetup organizers have been really upset by the changes to the Meetup platform (sudden removal of features / zero customer support / redesign / switch of focus) after spending, in some cases, almost a decade on Meetup and paying thousands in monthly fees. We've been helping move sports and fitness groups off Meetup since the fall and the amount of inbound Meetup organizers just keeps increasing.
Gonna be hard to pull me from Spotify. With the Capital One Quicksilver 50% off deal I get the family plan for $7.99 a month (5 users for less than the regular price for 1 user)

At times I’m tempted to give Apple Music a shot because I admire some of the UI differences – but my wife is an Android user and she loves Spotify as well.

It’s really the most well-rounded and accesssible solution right now.
And then when we have a change in control in our governments administration the rules also change, as does the formula for calculating this rating. We will have a never ending target you cannot hit regardless of how much you try....just when you think you are getting close to your target score or rating the equation changes.
Why Women Are Rarely Serial Innovators
Thanks for these links.

The Stateless article is a good book report. One nice phrase from it: "Thus while a judge may form his own principles, his customers will decide his competence as a judge."

One error to be aware of is in the following paragraph. Successful plaintiffs are not free to resort to self-help to enforce payments. Self-help, as I understand it through van Notten, is a last ditch measure when no justice is agreeable. Successful rulings are enforced by an individual's own jilib, according to van Notten.

I doubt we can use batteries for long term storage of solar energy. Specifically, we need to stockpile in the spring and fall for the winter. That means we need to figure out how to make some kind of chemical fuel when sunlight is abundant and electrical load low.
You've completely misunderstood & mis-represented my viewpoint. Equal Opportunity-Affirmative Action IS the law of the land, and that's the same law that forbids setting artificial quotas for ANY group that discriminates against others. For instance, some Google execs called for a 25% minority quota - THAT is discrimination against other groups, especially if the overall statistics in the talent pool/job market make it impossible for the said quota to be fulfilled in a manner compliant with "Equal Opportunity-Affirmative Action"

For instance, you might want to setup a workforce of coders with a 50-50 Men-Women breakdown. But since STEM graduation rates indicate a Men:Women ratio of 85:15, it is unlikely, if not impossible to construct a 50:50 workforce without willfully discriminating against men. If you now force the entire industry to adopt the 50:50 rule with a 85:15 talent pool to choose from, you're both discriminating AND defying logic/math!!

In summary - no corporation can possibly disagree with me for I'm calling for the law to be followed as intended.
No, it really isn't. The compliance rate increases when the speed limit is set to the upper limit of the pace speed/85th percentile speed. I noted some examples[1] in my other post
