We don't need to cool Venus down, but in a few hundred years we might need to cool the earth, so learning how to do that on Venus might be a good idea.
I am not sure if that’s true. Both my female cousins fit the description above, except they’re in their late 30s by now and still aren’t able to find partners for life. Sometimes I think maybe that’s the way it’s always been and that’s why there were forced marriages, which you might not have liked but in the end they made you happy through the family you’d usually had around you as you grow older. Don’t know
Client side input could always be messed with. I think what the anti-cheat feature refers to more so is the direct communication with the server part, where cheating programs can e.g. modify UDP packets in transit to teleport your characters to new locations or give themselves inventory items. If all you're feeding into the system is controller input, there's no way for you to do any of that. Conversely, backend developers for exclusive Stadia games can iterate more quickly knowing that their client input is completely trustworthy, which is an INSANE win.

Imagine building a REST API and not having to worry about request validation, sanitation, authorization, data scoping, etc. because you can 100% trust that the input you're processing is from your own client. Wouldn't that be perfect?
Pretty severe autism. The main reason we never just kicked him out is because he really can't function on his own. He'd suck at being homeless. That was hard for me to get used to, as I've been on my own since I was 18. And his sister moved out as soon as it was practical for her, although she lives just minutes away and we see her at least weekly.

And if there's one piece of parenting advice I can offer, it's this... your kids are their own people. Parents only have just so much control. (The flip side is also true; at a certain point, you can't just blame your parents for your own life.)
Sounds like the best thing he could do for his son is give him the first month's rent on an apartment and kick him out. He won't like it, but isn't being a parent about making the hard decisions?
Do you know any console/pc setup with <1ms (or even 2-3ms) input lag?
my comment was in response to parent saying venus was a better candidate for colonization than mars.

but i am totally on board with exploring venus, although im not convinced the atmospheric issues are significantly lesser than the surface, just different (hurricane winds, sulfuric acid, etc)
I skipped past the dqydj.com hits on Google beacuse I don't recognize the name. Which isn't to say that it isn't valid data, just that I was looking for something that I felt was plausibly accurate. For example, this Investopedia article puts it at $718K when written [1]. CBS News puts it at 421K. CNN Money put it at $388K ... in 2014. In 2018 Forbes put it at $488K.

So it depends on who you think ran the numbers right. Or what they mean by 1% (some sources try to combine income and net worth to make a hybrid definition of 1%, which just muddies the water even more).

Why do you think race is created by white people? So things like this from wiki is incorrect:

>For example, an historian of the 3rd century Han Dynasty in the territory of present-day China describes barbarians of blond hair and green eyes as resembling "the monkeys from which they are descended".[2] (Gossett, pp. 4).

or

>This theory dates back to the Babylonian Talmud, which states, "the descendants of Ham are cursed by being black, and [it] depicts Ham as a sinful man and his progeny as degenerates."

People all over the world are tribal and have probably always been.
The issue with lambda is that at high loads it's a lot more expensive than using a server. I looked into doing something with lambda that would take about ~10b invocations/day and it was so expensive compared to just standing up a microservice.

So I've never deployed a lambda before and I'm sure at low loads it's fine, but I would be afraid of taking a dependency on lambda/functions in an application architecture.
Ask HN: How to manage when you need to code something that you don't agree with?
I was asked to code a UI, at be beginning I was agree with the UI, but after I started to code I realize a lot of difficulties and inconsistencies.
So I started to add some improvements without affecting the functionalities. But I was told that is not what we agree, and that's right but now I feel like lack of motivation. This will be a nightmare to me.
look at Nest and how hard people that invested in the ecosystem were hit.
If your standards are too high, you'll find it tough to find "competent" life partners who want to start a family.

Secondly, if I told you that there was a > 20% chance you were going to get run over by a car, would you cross the road? Even the best partnerships (statistically) have a 20% chance of divorce. "Hey 'incompetent' life partner, do you want to take a 20-50% chance of losing 60-80% of the assets that you build up over the next 10 years? Oh, how about a similar chance that you'll lose the relationship with your children?"

Men are not upset (in general) that they are single. It's women that are upset.
Brazilian jiu jitsu is correct. It’s a wrestling style.

Compared to many martial arts, BJJ is very interactive in that you learn something new and then immediately put it into practice against training partners. BJJ gyms don’t really do katas (lining up the class to practice poses/moves individually).

This is nice because you get immediate feedback on what works. I’m a small guy. In a real fight I would probably get smashed by any average sized dude, but my experience diving into jiu jitsu has been fun and interesting. It’s a very technique based and strategic game, so my size isn’t as much of a factor as it would be in other sports.

Most gyms do a free trial period. You won’t have any idea what you’re doing for the first month or two, but I think it’s healthy to get humbled once in a while.

California (specifically So Cal) is kind of the Mecca of BJJ in the US, so a gym should be easy to find. Give it a try everyone.
An airship seems like the most survivable option for longer missions.

I wonder if it would be possible to use one as a carrier for smaller drone-ships. Wind speeds on Venus are quite low, but the force is probably quite insane considering the atmospheric pressure.
Desktop environment. Which desktop? There's more than one and they all pretty much run on both BSD and Linux.
Ask HN: How to answer my kid's question about life after death?
I found my 5 1/2 year old son sobbing on the bed. When I inquired, he told me that he doesn't know what will happen after death. Earlier, I had told him that I don't know. But this time, I felt guilty when he was crying. What should I tell him?
Your son's issue may be exacerbated by video game addiction. As a game developer I know exactly how effective our methods are.
HN doesn't have DMs, so no one has an idea how to send them. Thanks for watching out for a fellow user.
Tough love is sometimes the best form of love. Be prepared to be resented; be prepared for the child to cut you out of their life.

Accept it's their choice. You're probably giving them more choice than you ever have before. And it's scary for both of you. But it's literally the only way that some people can learn how to grow up.

Yes, that looks much closer to what I have in mind, although I also tend to think of electrons as not visible individually and doing this as part of a large cloud over a 3-D crystalline substrate.
> I see no reason why intelligent life with high technology could not have developed on Venus. Say, several hundred million years ago. And perhaps they triggered runaway greenhouse warming, which vaporized the oceans. And so perhaps it was the loss of the oceans that ended plate tectonics, not the other way around.

The only way that thought experiment could make sense is if they had the technology to do that, but not the technology to escape Venus and get to Earth.

Think about it; several hundred million years ago, Earth was habitable; maybe not for modern humans (but I bet we could do it - though uncomfortably), but definitely life existed in some form:

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

So there was liquid water, and the Earth wasn't a Dante-esque hellscape of volcanos and lava, etc. It was probably much warmer and more humid, but overall not crazy to live on.

So if your situation was dire enough, and you had the technology to escape the planet (which you'd almost have to, if you had the energy resources to cause your own global warming and demise scenario) - wouldn't you at least try?

So either they tried and failed in some manner (never reaching Earth), or they succeeded (meaning?) or something in between.

Even if they didn't try, with the level of technology, wouldn't they at least have left something behind in the solar system that we'd recognised as created by intelligent life long ago? Some artifact somewhere?

Maybe they did, and we haven't found it (space is big - the solar system is a big place); but I'd almost expect there'd be something orbiting Venus that was artificial (though maybe again, we can't detect it from here - too small, likely inactive, etc). I guess a good question would be, if you were on Venus (or even in Venusian orbit) - could you detect Earth's satellites currently orbiting Earth? Could you detect a singular one (last of its kind) in a degraded, virtually inert state? Again, I don't know.

It's a bit fascinating to think about; part of me wants to say "we should be able/have found something by now" if such a scenario were real - but at the same time, I can think of reasons why we haven't or can't...

Oh yeah, nobody who is an educator would ever say such a thing. But as the spouse of one you can only hear so many stories of behavior before you start asking what the other students were learning while one kid goes on a 15 minute meltdown. But it's really dangerous where that thinking leads- so much of school performance/behavior is tied to family situations that it can go to some dark places if you replace the compassion most teachers have with simple pragmatism.

Homeschooling gets a bad rap here because of it's association with the right, but unfortunately for society as a whole it's a step in the wrong direction. It makes the quality of your education wholly dependent on your parents, which pretty much just accelerates the cycle.

Overall I think most towns have to accept it takes more resources to educate a kid on average than the public has been willing to allocate- it really is an 80-20 or 95-5 situation. But schools get decreasing budgets and increasing responsibilities, and react by cutting 'extraneous' activities that caught some of the marginal kids in the past (shop, art, etc) or by restricting things to a certain grade average (sports, activities), further disassociating those on the edges. The main thing I've notice at my kid's high school that is different from 30 years ago is the total lack of community- kids are told they need to excel and excel fast, which leads to a every man for himself kind of mentality. If you haven't found your niche by 14 you may as well pack it in, and that niche better be computers, nursing, or football or you're just wasting everyone's time.

But I can guarantee that most teachers/ administrators/ districts would rather do almost anything than deal with social media monitoring crap they barely understand- unfortunately the only thing worse than helping set up the police state is to have to explain to a news crew how you missed so many warning signs while EMTs are wheeling out bodies in the background.
Someone posted in another similar thread on loneliness that volunteering was a great cure. Build social connections, shift to 'other' focus, contribute to something outside of yourself. Seemed like a perfect solution.
There's nothing stopping you from extending the JSON schema. We'll probably come up with extension points to make it easier (as subobjects, each declaring their own schema IDs).

The format really isn't the interesting question. The interesting question is how do we get clients to behave predictably with each other. If you start breaking the schemas that everyone on the network is using, then yes your posts should fail to render and probably be ignored.
You’re making a fallacy here. You are saying “it’s easier for women to get 100 dates, therefore it’s easier for women to find what they want”.

Your OP is saying, it’s easy for women to get 100 dates but out of 100 dates only 1 will be a sensible life partner.

It may be harder for a man to get 10 dates than for a woman to get 100 but in those 10, half of them will be a sensible life partner.

It’s a little like an advertising funnel: women have a source for getting lots of clicks, but few will be well qualified for a sale.

Men have a harder time getting clicks, but generally when they do they are generally well qualified.

You’re just thinking about the clicks as if that’s the only equation that matters but it’s a multiplication of two conversion rates, not one.
I'm usually the biggest advocate for personal responsibility, reaping what you sow, etc. but I think you may be being too hard on the parent. For one thing, parents lose a lot of power as kids age-- how exactly do you punish a 25 year old living at home? Send him to bed without dinner? Take away his Nintendo Switch?

Also, reading between the lines of parent's post, I'm wondering if the son is depressed. Maybe suicidal? Trying to "light a fire under his ass" could drive him deeper within himself, and if someone wants to die, there isn't much you could threaten them with anyway.

I certainly appreciate the destructive feedback loop: failure contributes to depression, depression and idleness cause further failure. That lifestyle probably causes obesity, making everything worse. Then there's the datelessness, etc. But breaking the cycle requires, among other things, that the kid want to get better-- I mean really want it more than he's wanted anything in his life. Short of that, and unless you're willing to toss him out on the street and hope for the best, the options are not great.

Something that I don’t think gets talked about enough with AR is just how bad her writing is. It’s both overly descriptive and yet clumsy. The John Galt monologue at the end of Atlas Shrugged alone bored me to friggin tears.
Personal attacks aren't ok here.

I'm sure your intention is good, but the gruff tough-love approach which just maybe, if you have a good connection, can work sometimes in person—and even then is probably too harsh to do anything but cause pain—doesn't come across at all well in an internet comment. The genre is much too low-information and distant.

I don't follow you. JSON is very extensible. Just add a new key like "body-image" and you're done.

How is that different from XML if your body is defined as a text field?

I think temperature is a property based on the average kinetic energy of particles in a system. The frequency of a proton, I imagine, would be an intrinsic property.

I'm happy google earth is stuck in time and offline. Such a powerful piece of software, like an arcGIS-lite. I get a file tree with folders and subfolders and subsubfolders and points of interests with metadata and notes and layers of everything and anything and I can load other people's content too?? In case you can't tell, it's my favorite google product by far, and they can't ever take it away from me because I have it on my local drive.

The Road Less Traveled: Non-Standard Early Stage Funding Paths
But you're not just measuring the quality of software products in isolation. The whole point is to measure how a certain set of conditions, particularly the choice of an artifically constructed language that humans use, among other things, to communicate with each other, affects the result of a human enterprise that's typically performed socially.

For these kinds of research questions, human social behavior is not a distraction from the issue being studied. It's the very locus of the issue being studied.
A life with your significant other shouldn’t be about “dependence” once you start basing your self worth and happiness on your SO, it gets a lot harder when you are upset with each other (it will happen) or even when you want to do something that they don’t
- or vice versa.

Either one of you can also start feeling rejected when the other person just wants some alone time.
Maybe you’re asking the wrong question. Instead, assume that unlimited human population growth is inevitable, and ask what technology or social systems do we need to develop in order to sustain that growth.

What do we need to develop/implement in order to support a population of 10B? 100B? 1T?? At some point, routine space travel needs to come into play. 100x-to-100000x improvement in the efficiency of our energy capture/storage/distribution technology. Terraforming or other world-modification technology. At 10-100 trillion population, interstellar travel and communication. At 100+ trillion population, we need to invent stuff that isn’t even in science fiction yet.

I find all this agonizing over how to keep this tiny ball of mud habitable to be... less than ambitious.
>I'm thinking specifically about the decline in church attendance.

This is an often repeated point but I don't see how it has any credence. Most people who attend churches may talk with each other for just a few hours -- and personally I've found most churches don't really foster a socially-healthy atmosphere. And that's fine, that's not the goals of churches, never has been and most likely never will be.

Churches if anything have never played a role in a healthy community -- and to this day if we map church attendance to social ills there's a pretty good correlation between the two: steady church attendance in areas tends to correlate with heavy drug problems, domestic abuse, and suicide.

However you want to dice that up, good or bad, it simply means one thing: church attendance and socially healthy communities probably aren't really related, and if they are, it probably doesn't have the effect you think it does given the available evidence.

My local school would have problems if that were the case, but median income is over 100,000 in my district.

I just wanted to mention I upvoted you but I disagree with you. And there are enough explanations given below your comment then I can write.
How would we float a platform at that height?
So where's the line? If your niece lives with you while your sister is incarcerated does that "count" as being similar enough to parenthood to "justify" a choice to have or not have children? If you were a full time live-in nanny? If your dead beat uncle drops your baby cousin off at your house every day? Step-parent? Foster parent? Teacher?

It seems incredibly silly to completely discount all your life experience when making important decisions...

FWIW, I've known someone who very much wanted kids then she became a full time live in nanny. That changed her mind completely about having kids of her own. She still loves working with children, and she still works with kids, just not in a live-in situation. She'll probably work with children her whole (working) life.

>How many parents have you ever heard say, "I wish I didn't have kids"?

My mother said those exact words to me every single day. Either that are similar stuff like "you ruin my life, I wish you were never born."

But, it's not something that is socially acceptable to say, so how many times you've heard is is completely irrelevant. I doubt my mother would say that to anyone else. It's like saying "how many times have you seen someone say 'I am sexually attracted to children?' None? Ok, now we can conclude pedophilia and childhood sexual abuse doesn't exist!"

Yeah, I think the term is really "integrate". While I'm not dependent on my wife, there are things that I trust her to do and things she trust me to do, and we don't even think about them anymore because my partner is handling them.
