Have you found anything that strikes a good balance between intellectual stimulation and relaxation?

I've found a number of hobbies that help with this. Two that come to mind that work for different reasons are exercise and drawing. Exercise lets my mind wander, builds dexterity, and tires me out (among many other benefits), and I find that drawing is a great way to relax and think in a different mode than my day job.
I'm currently reading Factfulness, and now I cringe whenever I see the word "gap" used in headlines like this.

They pay that with taxes. Taxes come from citizens. Citizens come from babies.

If you don't have kids, you don't create taxpayers, and then society can't pay.
This would cause a significant population decline. US population growth is largely being propped up by immigration, with a one child policy (i.e. 2x parents down to 1x child) it is unlikely that immigration could maintain the current population levels.

China implemented One Child because they needed population decline or to slow population growth. But even China has now largely scrapped it.

> You're on your own for any child after the first child

To phase this more accurately, the second CHILD is on their own. The first child, under your scheme, is educated and receives health benefits. The second child will receive no education and will have to suffer from any health ailments that they receive.

I don't think I explained myself very well. You don't need to predict the future. You just need to estimate the amount of regret you would have by NOT doing something.

Living a fulfilling life is about minimizing regrets. People regret not trying to initiate relationships with potential soulmates. People regrets not trying working on a business idea that could have been very successful. People regret not spending more time with family. Etc. The regrets you will have on your deathbed are probably regrets you will have carried your entire life, and thus regrets that will have haunted you and hampered you from living a fulfilling life.

It turns out that in many cases, regrets are independent of the outcome. For example you may not know whether a relationship with a potential soulmate will fail or succeed. But you will probably have more regrets by NOT giving it a shot at all.
This is just being rational - measure the time and cost of keeping something. Any time you keep anything, it collects dust, causes a mess, takes up space, and costs you time considering whether or not to toss it every time.
I’m not sure that is really facebooks problem. If I saw you praising Hitler, I’d unfriend you, so it’s not like there isn’t social consequences on Facebook.

I think the real issue is the users. I mean, Facebook makes it easier to find people who are like you and believe the things you do, but Facebook didn’t make you believe the earth was flat.

The fact that people believe the earth is flat shouldn’t be blamed on social media, because it’s a much bigger problem than that. Those people have managed to grow up wrong, with terrible education and horrible life choices, and maybe they find each other in groups on Facebook but they sure weren’t made this way by the internet alone.
This is exactly my problem with the whole idea of alien invasion. The technological resources needed to traverse star systems are so huge, and even then it's very unlikely any life-bearing planet will be all that habitable for your particular biology (the life there will have evolved for the conditions on that planet, which might very well be toxic for you). If you have such resources, it should be much easier to just build yourself some O'neal cylinders, or even terraform some more conveniently-located planets.
Worse is highly subjective: the XML world spent millions of dollars layering on huge amounts of complexity but never made a corresponding investment in having common tools not suck. Things like validation and schemas still have a horrible user experience and then you have things like libxml2 meaning that most of the world can’t use XSLT or XPath features added a decade ago. Similarly, it’s been notoriously hard to find things in the XML world which have quality documentation, examples, or working validators — doubly unfortunate given the complexity of what they expect users to do.

If you have a job to do, JSON is just plain better on almost every count. I remember being excited by XML 1.0 back in the 90s but the fall in popularity is something lots of people worked hard to accomplish by building so many new, more complex things rather than fixing the foundation. The assumption that users will have to learn your standard is almost always wrong.
When we were expecting my first child, the doc asked us to get tested for Down Syndrome. I knew what was down syndrome, and didnt take the test as I cant imagine an abortion just because of that reason. I was blessed with a normal daughter, but that Down Syndrome stuck with me. Then I did more research and found that people with disabilities are discriminated against even though they are capable of doing those jobs. That fear that what if I had a kid with disability and she/he couldnt find a job made me build jobenabler.
I agree, in a single instance it sounds like the obvious thing to do. But it's not obvious that the cumulative effect of putting commercial and residential bidders against each other at a city scale will lead to desirable outcomes for society. In fact, what's obvious is that it won't.

I think that parenthetical section is calling out capital gains distributions (something common for mutual funds) and exempt-interest dividends in particular because they are not ordinary dividends.

My wife is a public school teacher with a masters degree, the pay is so low and cost of child care so high, that we would have almost broken even having her go back to work.

I agree it is higher risk having only one wage earner, but sometimes it makes financial sense, and it definitely can have developmental benefits (e.g. 1:1 ratio instead of 1:6 or 1:8).

I would suggest that if anyone does do stay-at-home, that when the kid has all of their shots, you send them to a play group or preschool so they can learn to socialize.

PS - We also had kids fairly late, so got all our student loans paid off, and saved a little money which has helped as a buffer.

Coming from Mobile developers experience :

- Graphql does allow you to specify data you need and make the user experience better but this is only true in theory. Since in graphql it is so easy to ask any data there are high chances of your queries not optimized and you end up doing a complex operation spanning multiple domains because you can do it. In REST since domains are tightly defined chances of non-optimized request are less.

- Another major con with GraphQL on mobile is there are no alternatives than Apollo client yet. This ties you to 1 solution for your entire application.

- There are companies that tried to enable Querying over rest. Though it is not as flexible as GraphQL.
I read “it” in the question as referring to the false-flag propaganda that Google is targeting, not Google's response.

That reading does depend on trying to ascertain which of the two sentences in the precedinh comment was being referenced without an explicit indicator, and that certainly could be wrong.

GraphQL allows the front end developers to effectively write their own ad-hoc queries (on top of whatever primitives the backend devs provide them), whereas in REST each query would have to be a custom endpoint on the backend. Or possibly many custom endpoints depending on how REST-y you want to be.

Overall, disregard for documentation in places I worked in puzzles me. I like to say:

Documentation is memoization for communication.

Training courses and videoconferences are overrated. A guy gets to wear a suit and (usually) point at some slides. I don't see the benefit of being able to ask questions, because people feel intimidated and few questions are asked. And whenever some new employees arrive, you have to redo the whole thing.

To be sure, there's plenty of shitty documentation. But I think it's the problem with the writer not making an effort to put himself into reader's shoes. A technical writer should be eager to clarify, and improve documentation. His goal should be to be understood, not high page output.
I've experimented with a similar approach before. I like the idea, but does it really necessitate a framework?
Overpopulation isn't an actual problem. The rate of new births has been steady for decades now, and will remain steady into the foreseeable future. There are about 2 billion children in the world now; the UN expects there will be about 2 billion children in 2100. The population growth we're seeing today is a result of increased life expectancy, not increased birth rate, and it will flatten out in a few decades.

High birth rates are a product of extreme poverty, where child mortality is a problem. It doesn't take a lot of wealth for a country to solve most of the basic child killers (sanitation and access to clean water, vaccination, and most importantly, mothers who can read). And the extreme poverty rate is plummeting - from 29% in the 1990s to just 9% today.

Fertility treatments are a luxury, something that only the wealthiest tenth or so of the world can even afford. It's for people who are struggling to have one child, not trying to get their fifth.
It's not. It's hard to find a second job in that career once you get laid off, for once. There's no labor law restricting your work hours. And you never get a vacation.
But its only poor peoples' communities that get the brunt of the pollution. That's because their local governments can't fight against it, whereas richer communities can delay, fight, and stop.

Do poor communities deserve this?
Too many projects I need a wingman/wingwoman
I have a problem. I am a solo, full-stack dev and I've done quite well over the past number of years, earning approx. €120K Per Year, building and delivering solutions for clients.

Recently, my business has started to really expand, and I would expect to double up on revenue this year.

The problem is, it's too much for me. With this in mind, I've looked into (1) Freelance sites like Upwork (2) Outsourcing to small agencies (3) Outsourcing to larger agencies.

I'm finding that they don't work for me for a number of reasons. (1) they don't show much initiative (2) they are only interested in the quick pay cheque (3) they look for the quickest way to build the app, which is not always the best way. I could go on.

I guess, I'm looking for someone who I can say "hey, I've a €50K project, want to split it? I'll do the API and Mobile App, and you do the Web App and DB stuff".

I'm really interested to hear some thoughts?

The risk of job loss in this economy is a lot lower than several years ago, so now may be the time to do it. Once a kid is 3, then they can go to preschool, and that cost is lower than individualized care, and goes down with age.

It’s also not going to get easier if you wait, as complications increase with age, even in early 30’s. My wife was on bed rest for 12 weeks, 10 of those in the hospital. A total of $140k, so better damn well have insurance, and I needed to use FMLA too.

Also, 48% of pregnancies are paid for by Medicare. Plenty of illegal immigrants having border babies, which you are paying for, from birth through college.

Homelessness can't be fixed "at source". People become homeless simply by losing their job and defaulting on their mortgage.

Walking around San Francisco you would get the impression that most homeless people are mentally ill, but you'd be missing all the people sleeping away from busy streets, in tents, in their cars, squatting in unused buildings, couch surfing between friends, etc.

I see at least three distinct populations here. First are the Mormons of Utah, south Idaho, and adjacent areas, which you missed.

The big one is the Bible Belt minus the Black Belt, and also seems to be missing the Carolinas, maybe because they've had so much internal migration from the Northeast recently.

El Paso and surrounding area is surely associated more with the Rio Grande Valley of far south Texas than either of these two areas -- a culturally distinct area of Tejanos and more recent Hispanic immigrants.

I don't know what to attribute the area of lower-age married fertility in eastern CO + western KS to, or other scattered areas.
It is best measured on continuum, rather than a binary.
Not all companies benefit from mainstream news coverage. Animal cloning companies are a good example, they don't make too much noise because they get a lot of push back from animal rights groups, but their businesses continue to grow rapidly in the farming industry.

And the outcome of actual reality is that women are putting off childhood until its either too late, or the medical risk increases to dangerous levels.

IMHO when companies announce that there is a worker shortage, what they are actually stating is that the negotiating power in the current job market may be shifting away from corporations

These corporations may have started having some issues retaining key employees and discovered that expertise and takent doesn't spring from nowhere, which affects productivity to their surprise as highly skilled employees aren't growing on trees and can't be replaced as soon as their employee leaves. So before they need to do something about working conditions (i.e. absurdly long hours and stressful environment) and wages they instead try to manipulate the job market by requesting a sudden influx of canonfodder to shift the negotiating power back into their hands.

I think your source says that 28% of individuals had non-financial release. Also that the number of non-financial releases is going down (from 40% to 28% during the years in the data), but I could be misreading it.
There are two risks: death of the wage earner, and job loss. The impact of death can be mitigated with insurance, job loss can be mitigated with savings.

But it also probably means living a less robust lifestyle to keep expenses reasonable for a one-income household. The trap many DINKs fall into (not accusing you, just riffing on my observations) is living a lifestyle that's on the edge of affordability for two earners, and thus feeling like they HAVE to have two earners indefinitely.
