My wife and I had an amazing wedding for $5000. Certainly that isn’t necessarily an easy amount to save for everyone, but a wedding is one (or so) day(s) in a lifetime. Don’t spend much on it. Use your savings for longer term and more impactful things (down payment on a house or car, college education, retirement, etc)
> The real racket isn't in ripping people off for services, but that everyone needs these services. Weddings used to be relatively private affairs. Costs were far less. Churches provided services to parishioners and associated gatherings were at family houses. Today we are expected to purchase everything.

I disagree that everyone needs these services, only that, as you say, many people expect to provide (or that their marrying friends will provide) these services. Weddings still can be private affairs, and associated gatherings can still be at family houses. (The bit about churches is outside an individual's control, I agree.) As yters commented (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18068728), some people's weddings are still quite affordable.
That aligns with traditional marriage vows: “...in good times and bad”.

I suppose the “ok” times are the most precarious as things are not good enough to stay but the couple is also self sufficient enough to leave.
I think this goes to show Wikipedia generally has its priorities in order. Although I'm sure the process could be improved, friction against trivial corrections is a small price to pay for effectively defending the integrity of content against psychological warfare and vandalism, IMHO :)

>"2) The local popular religion (Mormonism) has an outsized influence on legislation, so there are weird laws surrounding alcohol, business on Sundays, use of downtown property, etc. Outside of SLC proper people assume everyone is Mormon, and one's religion (or lack of it) can affect job opportunities, etc."

This really annoys me as someone who loves the state of Utah.

People who don't really know about the Mormons and Utah think that it's just some quaint thing like the Amish in Pennsylvania or whatever. They don't realize that the Utah government is essentially a theocracy controlled by the LDS church, which dictates every aspect of society in the state. It makes the place completely unlivable for normal people who would otherwise love to live somewhere like SLC for the same reasons Denver is great (winter sports, outdoors, scenery).

Do you see this ever changing?

There is a special kind of (evil) genius in the advertising "Your wedding is your day, so let us tell you what you truly want, and don't let anyone else disagree." (It reminds me of the old "Distrust unsolicited advice. Except this time.")
I had a cousin who had a wedding costing 250K+.
The NYC model is rarely how taxi's operate.

My uncle was a taxi driver around the same time (maybe a little earlier?) and was paid a livable wage plus benefits.

>"There are so many drivers available that it's an owner's market," said Edward G. Rogoff, a professor of management at Baruch College who studies the taxi industry. "Drivers are competing for these low-prestige, low-pay jobs, which pushes their incomes down further."

You also missed the main part of the article. Simple stated there were too many taxi drivers. Now I don't know about you but if I were to have that many people willing to work for me its either the pay is good or working conditions.

This sucks because like the article mentions, it becomes an owner's market. On top of this it's also NYC. No taxi driver is gonna be able to afford many of the places they get fares from.

The patchfoo tunnel is really just a stopgap for me until a native soltion is available. it’s also a good option for no having the secret on the device, though.

re size: you really don’t need _everything_ locally all the time. You can delete unused blobs easily, which take up most of the space.

It’s all very implementation specific as well.
This has been a sticking point for me too when trying to transition to FF from Chrome. My main monitor is a 4k 24-inch, and at that pixel density, the Windows HiDPI scaling isn't always enough to get the text the correct size for comfortable viewing. For text-heavy sites like HN, Reddit, and Wikipedia, being able to set a default 125% zoom in the browser is very nice, while still being able to keep the default zoom for sites like Youtube where video player size is more important than text size.

Considering the cost to implement would probably be pretty low, I think it is a fair complaint against the browser. Still, privacy concerns may supersede convenience in this particular case, and I think I might try again to switch.
It's not rolled, but if you don't call that an "r" sound then there's no "r" in many areas of UK. It's different to a long a, it's like a shortened "r" with no roll and the tongue further forward, but not as hollow as a long a.

Toronto, Canada.
1) salaries are low compared to the US.
2) on a per capita basis, we don't seem to start/host great startups (lots of lame knockoffs of US ones, but, targeting Canada).
3) Public transit is terrible.
4) if you live outside of downtown and work downtown, you may lose two hours a day commuting.
5) compared to NYC, London, Paris or Berlin the cultural institutions seem not commensurate with our population (the largest art gallery, the AGO, has a grown man's toy boat collection in it!).
6) if you bike in the city you are almost killed on a monthly basis.
Don't worry, if getting married didn't resolve their clashes they will have a kid or two. That should help. /s
People born in 1980 are considered millennials.
Millennials are late 20s maybe even early 30s as upper bound. (My generation). We all get grouped and I see milenials between 22-32. That’s my intuitive feel for it anyway. I don’t know the actual society study on it. I know a lot in my circles getting married now too. Albeit it feels way later then our parents (many had kids when 19-21).
I don't believe in free will because of a simple thought experiment. Maybe someone with a background in ML can chime in.

Imagine we could perfectly map all your brain's neural connections at an instant in time to software. This is not out of the realm of possibility in the future, right? Now imagine we "asked" that model to make a decision. Any decision. Wouldn't that frozen-in-time model give the same answer every time?

The law doesn't force them into arbitration, Uber's contract does. The law says Uber can force arbitration.
I don’t think it is misleading at all to say Uber is “forcing” drivers into arbitration. As the employer, they hold all the power in the relationship. Do you really think an Uber driver could make a $10B+ company do anything?

I'm sometimes considering porting the UI of a relatively complex management app I wrote sometime ago for a small company, from Ext JS to a Python-flavored traditional GUI framework like PyQt (it would essentially become a desktop app powered by an already Python-based backend, which wouldn't be really a problem deployment-wise, as it's an internal-facing app). I think there would be some benefits, but what stops me is a relatively concrete consideration: the primary UI widget on which my app relies are complex data grids, which must support a lot of functionalities (sorting, filtering, etc; which is an area where Ext JS clearly shines), and I'm wondering which framework would offer the best support (in terms of both functionalities and abstractions) for this kind of needs. Any ideas about this?
Or a more positive view: more mature people are better able to identify partnerships that can endure. Or people who are older are more fixed and less likely to grow away from their partners. Or more time affords more opportunity to de-risk potential partners so social sorting has more time to “work”. Etc etc etc. “just so”

Most of the people in NYC I've come across have been fairly nice or neutral, although that could be entirely dependent on the neighborhood. Having said that, just the other day we saw a guy in a taxi get out and yell at a student struggling to get onto a special education yellow school bus. That was pretty heartless.

Yeah I love the soundhound app as well. My wife is a professional singer, so often times she can sing or whistle a song and soundhound will pick it right up.
Take a step back. Focus your attention on the 2nd graph and look at the 18-34 age range line. This is and always has been low. There is literally a 1%-2% drop. So you can't actually "blame" millennials on the US divorce rate plummeting, let alone by 8%. The article is also already admitting that the rate is dropping for ALL age groups ranges (read - people that are NOT millennials) for the past 10-15 years.

So if you look at that graph and look at the title of the article, you should realize that the overall trend is dropping, and it's not because of millennials. If anything that is an anecdotal feeling and the writer of this article is suggesting that as the reason, which is again, not backed up by the data.

Edit: take out the yell words ;)
According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-law_marriage_in_the_Uni..., particularly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-law_marriage_in_the_Uni...), California explicitly doesn't allow common-law marriages (to which you seem implicitly to be referring); and, anyway, it seems that a common-law marriage must be explicitly consented to, rather than being a state that develops involuntarily (based on a skim of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-law_marriage_in_the_Uni... ; for example, of Colorado, "The elements of a common-law marriage are, with respect to both spouses: (1) holding themselves out as husband and wife; (2) consenting to the marriage; (3) cohabitation; and (4) having the reputation in the community as being married").
I think what I was responding to was the implied causal connection between the lack of an "institution" of marriage causing instability in cohabitating adults.

The article and linked research don't make that assertion.
This is called putting lipstick on the pig.

The pig, in this case, being marginal utility theory.
Ahhh, excellent! I definitely agree with proving the demand for an app before spending time expanding it. Great strategy!

Oklahoma City:

1) Very conservative state government. Public schools are incredibly underfunded. Crime penalties are harsh. Extremely high prison population. 2nd in nation. 1st in women incarceration (nearly 3x national average). Constantly spending money trying fight people who sue them for pushing religious agendas.

2) A car is mandatory. Not walkable. Very spread out. It's one of the larges cities by area and the population isn't huge or anything. Virtually no public transit.

3) Tornadoes. Most people I know in the area are desensitized to them, but I'm not. I turn into a nervous wreck. I've luckily never been affected by them other than roofs/tress/etc, but the May 3, 1999 tornado was .2 miles from my house as a kid. They are frequently within a few miles.

4) Earthquakes. This has seemingly gotten better recently, though I moved a few miles south and that may cloud my perception of it. Between this and tornadoes, home insurance is rough if it covers it at all.

5) Economy tied to one industry: oil. There's a smidge of aerospace, but it's almost completely oil.

6) Tech scene mostly tied to enterprise and C#/Microsoft.

7) Dry and hot. When it rains, it floods.

I can't speak for fbs (never used it), but the way these things usually work (pyinstaller et al) is by compiling everything to .pyc or .pyd and/or pack it up with the python runtime in an executable. It's probably not too hard to extract the original source, but it would be enough to deter a casual observer.

The problems with packaging PyQt usually boil down to module discovery, because the import machinery is leveraged by the wrapper in nontrivial ways. PyInstaller has been ok for me recently, whereas cx_freeze was unpredictable across minor versions.

My only gripe with Tampa is the length & intensity of summer.

It's incredibly humid the entire year. Close to 100% humidity and 100 degrees F quite often in the middle of the day. April through November is just hot as heck.

You are hot and sweaty...and stay hot and sweaty until you take a shower and dry off. I see people walking around in suits downtown and I can't understand how they manage it. Getting into your car is a task because you're essentially hopping in an oven.

Additionally, today is the first "nice day" in a while and its's still 90 F with 60% humidity. It's almost October. We don't really have a fall, which is what I loved about living further north in Atlanta. I'm exhausted by it by the time August ends and this will last into November.

The strangest part is that the humidity makes cold nights feel even colder than dryer places. So 45F in Tampa is crazy cold due to the moisture in the air. It doesn't help that we're not geared up for those 10 nights per year either. I noticed this when I spent time in CO. I want to go for a run at 45F in Denver!

The only other major gripes I have is that our transportation and the way our downtown has developed hasn't worked. Urban sprawl hurt us quite a bit with the former.

But(!), there are benefits.
* I can easily get away with wearing shorts for nearly the entire year. I go to meetings in shorts and it's great.
* Rent is _very_ reasonable.
* Lots of outdoor things to do: our Riverwalk downtown is amazing to bike/walk/run on.
* We have some quality food and FL loves beer, so we have some nice breweries beyond Cigar City.

Due to the heat, I want to spend some of each year up north. It's just too much for me.
I don't actually have an answer, but I wonder if it's something in the middle...

No, two unhappy parents cohabitation (married or not) is not ideal.
No, a single parent is not ideal.
But, a single parent who bounces in and out of relationships every few years is worse than either of the above.

That instability is worse for the child than the other options.

Just a thought, nothing to back it up one way or the other.
You cannot choose to breed with someone who is already dead. Even if you succeed in breeding with someone (alive), if their genes are not very good your children won't live to breed.

Thus if intelligence is a factor at all in survival (and it seems like it should be) your ancestors may not have had a choice but to select for intelligent.

The photo-electric radiation emitting from my computer monitor is considerably more than marginally distinct from the chaotic soup of interacting proteins and electrical sparks in my brain. Just a few seconds ago, I, of which my brain is certainly a part of, made a decision based off of the computer monitor that is in my environment.

Grappling with chaos and complex interacting and intertwining systems is very difficult. It helps to not be led too astray by the easier to access tools we have (such as verbal language), which help, but many of which are woefully inadequate towards a coherent understanding of these issues.

I somehow recall that was already proven as not worse in studies of children from divorced households (might have been largely equitable custody) vs nondiviorced that the answer is no even without extremes like domestic violence being involved. There are extra expenses and difficulties involved in separate situations technically but the alternative may be worse. Two separate remarried families wouldn't even suffer from the resource loss and lack of support structure assuming both have healthier relationships.

The rhetoric seems to be spread more from a mix of traditionalism and insecurity about being dumped or stuck in an unhappy marriage than solid facts.
