What some people don't realize is that the person emptying your trash bin in the evenings might very well be college educated. Not that they stand a chance of using that education in the US without the appropriate level of English.
So it can't be just costs.

Our expected spending on children has also grown dramatically. For example back then there was an expectation that someone would always stay home an look after the kids, now we expect them to go to day care. Back then 4 kids sharing a room their entire childhood was normal, now each kid is expected to get their own room. Back then kids where expected to entertain themselves, now we expect them to attend all sorts of after school activities. Back then they where expected to either go straight to work after high school or pay their own way through college either by working or scholarships, now the parents are expected to help pay for college, and so on.

Basically it's not that having kids per se is more expensive, it's that providing kids with the quality of life we've come to be expected to provide them with is expensive.
He sounded very interested during our conversation.

But, ATT is a very big big-money and political player in our state. Even if he wasn't originally dissembling, the ATT executives may have just shut him right down.

Part of my point: I don't care which political party it is. If a member is in bed with this crap -- or even just silently acquiescing, to hell with them.

I'd liked this rep, up to that point. If he'd told me there was nothing he could do, or hadn't specifically told me he'd follow up. Maybe I'd grant a bit more benefit of the doubt. Well, I'd still expect him to address the issue -- take a position against the behavior.

Instead, silence. Like the silence amongst our supposed "mainstream" politicians in response to the hard right pushing beliefs and policy with no backing in fact. (Or the hard left, when they do that -- although then I can usually at least sympathize with the compassion, when present.)

Democrats need to understand that their weak tea "centrist", big business trend no longer sells to the base they need and that needs effective representation.

I'm all for effective business. I'm not for monopolies and oligopolies hindering progress for their own relative advantage. Nor sucking at the teat of public money and policy while complaining about their taxes.
What's the definition of "value" here? For current US citizens? For the world's economy? For some kind of global happiness/prosperity measurement?

Each definition changes the answers significantly, I'd think.

I have an engraved money clip that happens to have a small 2" maybe pocket knife on it. I would routinely forget to leave it at home, and after the 3rd time of spending $20 to mail it back to myself I finally stopped carrying it.

Don't even get me started how often my wife gets 'flagged' for extra security.
In the end, the "reputable" ICO-backed companies will mostly (perhaps entirely) turn out to be no better. Enron was a real company that did real things. During the time it operated, hundreds of aspiring future Enrons were born in the penny stocks, took down a few thousand in profits, and died. Skeptics of Enron could have pointed to those overt frauds and said "sure, the space is littered with frauds, but look at Enron over here; there are real companies too". In the end, it didn't matter; in fact: Enron was the more disastrous of the two threats.
Great article, thanks for sharing.

spoiler: FCC part was clever, but what fakery? Are you talking about the "golden path" or something else I missed after a quick read?
I've known for as long as I could remember that I didn't want kids. Just never seemed interesting or appealing to me. Had a vasectomy around age 30.
The skills that get a person through college -- good long-term planning, ability to defer pleasure, prudent analysis -- also tend to cause people to successfully put off having children.

That's really the crux of the problem. Then add to that the fact that people who do have children young are put in a comparative disadvantage to their peers.
> How many people here would say that they have actively decided not to have children?

Plenty of people do. For many different reasons.

Some people do not like kids, some people like their life as it is, some people are in a relationship that they are happy in but that they are sure of that it won't survive having children, some people carry genes that they do not wish to pass on and so on. The list is endless, probably at least as long as the list of reasons why people do want children, possibly even longer.
Depends on where you are I suppose. Where I got a ticket once (Upstate NY) and it was an official policy.

If you have not had more than X tickets in Y years and choose to contest it, they would knock down minor moving violations to no-points non-moving violations, and they will knock down moderately serious (ex: tailgating, 20mph over the limit on the highway) ones to minor. You didn't need a lawyer and you didn't need any justification/evidence if you wanted to take that deal.

I don't think whistleblowing is "sacred", in the sense that anyone who disagrees with his boss and gets fired for it has an aspect of Edward Snowden. [0] Instead it's like most human activities: sometimes good, sometimes bad, occasionally pointless. It's clear that one shouldn't bring explosives on commercial flights or indeed on any motorized vehicle not designed for the purpose, but it's also against regulations to bring apple juice on commercial flights. A line must be drawn somewhere, and I'm all for armaments manufacturers going out of business, but let's do it the right way. In the long run this accomplishes nothing.

[0] To be clear, Snowden is a magnificent human. If punching a hundred plutocrats would get him out of his predicament I would do it tomorrow.

It's not broken per-se - the /64 you're seeing is probably the /64 next to your IP address. But that's just the size of the subnet your droplet is on, just like a system having '192.168.1.8/24' doesn't imply that all of the 192.168.1.* addresses route to that system

But apart from that, IPv6 at DO is indeed pretty useless without floating ip support - I'm still not able to use IPv6 on the droplet for application that need failover

America integrated large immigrant waves in it's past, and I doubt anyone would say the Italians, or Irish, or other minorities were not integrated today. Time bridges cultures, and we're the better for it.
I think that being the build system for the Glasgow Haskell Compiler - which is the most commonly used compiler for Haskell - counts as "some use in the real world." I downloaded the source, did `git ls-files | xargs wc -l > wc.out`, then `grep "total" wc.out`, summed the totals, and it comes to 1051451. That's an overestimate in lines of code, as there's certainly documentation in there, but there's about 620,000 lines of Haskell.
Examples of what cryptocurrencies does better:

* Donations to wikileaks. Paypal froze their account and there are tons of examples where they have done this without good cause.

* Legal businesses like marijuana sellers, porn, escort services and gambling platforms have had trouble using and keeping payment services. Some have been forced to only accept cash payments as they couldn't accept credit cards.

* A way to accept irreversible payments digitally. Credit card charge back fraud is a big problem.

* Credit card companies and other payment processors take an often expensive fee. Cryptocurrencies are much cheaper (see Bitcoin Cash as Bitcoin is not a good example).

* Easier to move money. For example sending money to or taking money with you when you cross borders. Western Union is slow, expensive and cannot be used to send everywhere. The same can be said about banks in isolated countries or countries in disarray. With cryptocurrencies all you need is internet (sometimes a VPN as well).

Edit: As usual when I try to point this out I'm down voted. I encourage you to counter my examples.
They're the closest. For the other's it's a major investment to move so far.
Why is it that birth rates have gone down though? Many factors, mostly economic, which should be addressed instead of importing millions of people who will soon be replaced by automation anyways.

The last school was closed in the far distant year of 1996. Do you really think Canada in 2018 is that far removed from 1996? What exactly happened in that intervening period that will prevent such an atrocity in the future?
but the scarcity here is artificial, induced by unfairness in economic opportunity in spite of more than abundant resources economy-wide.

if we had a more fair economic system, more families would feel economically secure enough to have children.

the minimum level of economical security required rises proportionally with wealth and income disparity, because our economic outcomes are inextricably tied to each other through inflation and the like.

No one does. But let's assume you suddenly won the lottery. Now a lot of people care, and they're able to perfectly plan when exactly to rob your house as you are gone.

Hi, I'm vaguely in the market for a new blogging platform, I went to ghost.org, hoping to get a sense for a sense of how it would feel to actually use ghost, but didn't find it easy to get that sense from the website. Do you perhaps have something like a test instance people can log into to try out, or a gallery of examples or somethng like that?

I've posted this before, but a year or so ago I was at a major medical research conference for my field (infectious diseases). I was struck when I realized that in every single plenary talk, given by people at the peak of their careers and having a huge impact on science, there was something that betrayed an underlying liberal arts education.
While in Japan last summer, we rode the Kurobe Gorge Railway deep into the Japanese Alps. It's a 762 mm narrow gauge railway, originally build as industrial railway for dam construction, but now open to the public. It goes through 42 tunnels and on the crazy steep sides of the deep V shaped Kurobe Gorge. It was a really nice trip - breathtaking views & nice outdoor hot springs to bathe in. :)

I have to wonder if there's a dip around the upper middle/lower upper who, because of price discrimination on college costs and such must still be conservative, that then reverses course for the mid to upper upper, who have wealth in excess of any reasonable pattern of consumption and certainly more than enough to raise many children.

I know that my plan is two max at the moment strictly because total cost per head is roughly $500k in today's dollars (including total private college costs, which account for half of that).
Once I get that "I'm getting kinda stuck in a rut here" feeling I usually take a lap around the building. (~5 min). That's usually enough.

I also go to the gym throughout the week but I usually am focusing on the workout too much to think about coding.

Sometimes I just have to more or less sleep on it though. I work on some other part of the project and come in the next day with fresh perspective. It's probably always kinda rolling around in the back of my head to some degree.

There is a plethora of mapping applications that have offline data. Maps.me and Gaia are two that I have on my iPhone, but a web search should turn up others.

Alternatively, one could learn to read a map. That got me across the country and back on multiple occasions back in the day, and I don't recall ever getting too lost. I'm not saying we have to go back to sextants, but to me GPS is a nice convenience, not a requirement.

I'll bet the opposite. The long run is really long and if your population is in decline then you either up the numbers or sooner or later it will be game over for your branch of the tree.

Because the other consequence of imposing security theater on the traveling polity is getting them used to jumping through arbitrary, imposed hoops like that.

Trivial to you.

>is particularly ridiculous when there are so many other issues where life hangs in the balance.

If immediacy of life is the sole thing driving your decision behavior, you should quit your job and go help people in developing nations. Some people need to do this. But others also need to focus on longer-term things that promote a better economy that leads to new technologies and surpluses to advance the quality of human life.
"Thirteen years ago, the first Google Maps mashup combined Craigslist housing data on top of our map tiles—before there was even an API to access them."

Funny they pick out Craigslist, who as far as I'm aware, use OpenStreetMap because clearly Google maps doesn't work for them (cost presumably).

These days, in developed countries, children are expensive.

Sure, but they're far cheaper in both Sweden and Finland than in the US, yet people are still having fewer children there, so it can't simply be a cost issue.

That's not "abducted", that's "arrested".

It is a travesty, I'll agree. But words have meanings, and "abducted" is not what that was.

Italians, Irish, and most of the other immigrants from that time were Europeans who had a lot in common with Americans culturally.
How does this work if someone in the house answers their cell on speaker and Alexa records that interaction? Maybe there's an exemption for inadvertent recording? Or maybe their "recording" includes enough abstraction so it's qualifies as "detailed note taking"?

> Basically, people's personality has an impact on whether they have kids,

Maybe you address in your post, but as stated this doesn't make a lot of sense. Fertility is falling across all demographics and in all developed countries and has been for decades – are you saying everybody everywhere has experienced a personality shift over that time?

And while fertility probably does have some genetic component, I think that's a small piece of it compared to prevailing economic conditions (having kids is friggin expensive and this generation is deeply in debt) and social mores (whether there's powerful religions pressure to have kids). Genetics neither explains this nor provides a way out of it.
There were laws in most states banning blacks from owning guns [1], presumably largely out of fear that they might fight back if armed. Even long after the civil war laws were passed to implicitly prevent blacks from being able to obtain guns. For instance the National Firearms Act of 1934 put a whopping $200 tax on firearms purchases. The goal, like many earlier bills, was just to ensure that blacks and poor whites could not effectively arm themselves. Even the gun control act of 1968 was influenced out of a fear that black groups, such as the Black Panthers, were starting to arm themselves and demonstrate accordingly. There's a really interesting article on that here [2].

And actually this is a general theme throughout history. For instance gun laws which effectively disarmed their target population played a crucial role in the numerous 20th century genocides. From the Jews in Germany, to the Armenians in Turkey, to the "intellectuals" in Cambodia, to subversives and dissidents in Stalin's Soviet Union, and many more. First came the the restriction of guns then came the unveiling of what the beasts behind these governments truly were.

This of course is not to imply that all efforts at gun control come with some ulterior motive, but simply to exemplify that governments that do have that ulterior motive tend to be damn scared of an armed population.

>Two-party consent laws raise an interesting point: how could Duplex operate legally in California?

I wondered how this worked with things like Google's earphones that (supposedly) translate from one language to another. Those translations all get recorded and all get sent to Google's cloud (and, likely, get stored there too).
I actually just started using Let's Encrypt to issue certificates for web services (router config pages, Firewall, NAS server) on my local network. You _do_ need your own domain and DNS server so unfortunately it isn't free, but it _is_ definitely doable.

Basically I just setup [acme-dns][1] on a VPS, pointed the relevant _acme-challenge domains at that server via a CNAME entry, and gave each device on my LAN an account on the acme-dns server so they can fulfill challenges at will.

Unfortunately as you said that's probably a little too complex for the average user, not to mention domains and VPSes aren't free. Probably wouldn't be too expensive to offer as a service of some kind though; I'm only spending $3.50/month total, and I'm sure my VPS could handle _much_ more traffic than it currently does just fulfilling acme challenges for my LAN.

At least in Germany, birth rates have been growing significantly in recent 3 years. And no, it is not just immigrants, it's about everyone. I think this is an effect of the many children/parent friendly laws that have been introduced by the government over the last 10 years. Laws seldom change a society over night, but their effects take some time to be visible.
The Bay is not the be-all and end-all for jobs. Full stop. In fact, it's likely going to be on the downturn if they can't get the housing situation and the growing income gap under control.

If a couple wants kids, and they can't pull it off in the Bay Area and it's a high priority item, you can bet they are on the way out.
I wonder if the poor are having more children because they feel like they have less to lose?

I desperately want to have kids and my girlfriend is on board, but she makes next to nothing and I make quite a lot of money. I tried an online calculator and if things go awry between us, I'll be paying her roughly a quarter of my post-tax income for the next two decades here in California.

That's just too big a gamble for me. So even though I desperately want children and I can afford them and everything would probably work out fine -- here I am, aging and childless while my girlfriend nears infertility because I can't justify the math to myself.
It's easily verifiable, see [1] under "Educational Attainment of Adults".

That article doesn't show birth rate, it shows total number of births. Considering the total population difference, that suggests minority birth rate is much higher as the parent said.
