>Our it could have earlier identified you as 'at-risk', and led to more positive interventions in your education.

I've honestly thought about that a lot. You know, "what if someone took me under their wing and showed me how to truly fit in with society and be a great person". I doubt that would have worked. I saw most adults as idiots at the time and was not inclined to listen to anyone. For one, the advice I did get never helped or lined up with reality.

My parents told me to graduate high school, even though they hadn't. The counselors told me not to do drugs, even though the grapevine told me they themselves had (doesn't matter if that was true or not, as a teenager you make up your own "facts"). And my brain told me I had it all figured out and was part of the elite, and the rap music I blared that spoke of killing cops, beating women, and "making millions" justified my own thoughts. I was beyond help. It was only through basically getting kicked of my parents house and going all the way to the bottom did I then realized that I knew nothing.

Of course, perhaps if there was some counselor or authority that I could have repected at school, maybe then I would have listened. But finding someone to mesh with my mentality would have been difficult and would have required a lot of thought, care, and time on their part. And in my general experience, most counselors seem to get pretty burned out after 5+ years of dealing with unruly children and they then revert to not trying much and just occupying a desk chair. Most of my high school's faculty was like that. Most had had the same position for the last 20 years.

I think is just another example where we got a short term benefit from breaking societal norms but may suffer long term. Strong family bonds can be very confining so it's often liberating to weaken them. But then you also lose that support system which has big cost long term.

I think the job market has similar trends. It used to be that jobs were more stable and you had a direct path to retirement. But this was also restricting for young people. Now we have the opposite. Young people are the stars of the job market, job hopping is the only way to get ahead and the people who aren't millionaires by age of 50 are looking into a very insecure future.
> They've lost a bit of traffic, but it doesn't look like it's halved: 59 million to 49 million.

The article is very sloppy about this, with a clickbait framing, but the actual claim is "we saw a massive drop in Search traffic from Google (lost 50% of daily traffic)", which I'm almost certain means 50% of Google search traffic.

Notable mention for flat/declining wages since the average cost of raising kids probably doesn't get cheaper as time goes on.

Imaging paying your you and your spouse's student loans, then having two kids and paying their student loans or putting that debt on their shoulders. Much easier before tuition skyrocketed.

Healthcare prices are a consideration too.
I look at so many of my single friends who are achingly lonely (late 30s to early 40s) and they all have a particular trait in common: they obsess about the possibilities the future may hold yet don’t acknowledge the hard work it would take to get there. There’s also a sort of collective delusion that if you wait around long enough, your dream partner will show up and that if a relationship takes any work at all that it should be scrapped because it interferes with “just being an individual”.

The longer people put off pairing up, the harder it seems to accomplish.

I think mainstream media has really warped a couple of generations of people’s priorities. Extended adolescence and chasing hedonism is now the norm.

My friends who eschewed that in favor of more traditional long term relationships, compromise and building family over Instagram followers are decidedly more content and less anxious.

I suspect as my generation ages these effect will amplify.

I donate that stuff. That income above life-sustainment and above lifestyle and comfort and luxury. Still I'm finding there's more and more to spend.

But I don't need it, better to pass it on to communities and creators that I enjoy. Patreon, individual monthly checks automatically sent from my bank, paypal monthly donations, etc... All for artists to create more of their work I enjoy, archives to continue to flourish.

Maybe try that?

Why suggest donation? It's an infinitely large set of buckets to put money into.
I'm not sure Google has yet figured out how or why it wants to make such products. I don't understand how apps like Trips or Reader get launched given that they seemed destined for at most mild success, but one possibility is that the people behind them at the time promised some sort of larger success to motivate their funding.

True story: I worked on a small Google product where at one point our sales team got a customer interested in a $1m contract, which was a decent amount of money for the scale of our product. But the customer wanted some adjustment in some of the wording. We couldn't get a Google lawyer to even look at the result -- it wasn't worth their time for such a small amount of money -- and I believe lost the customer as a result.

To your specific question, I think there is lots of room in the world for fundamentally OK products -- but outside of Google. I love Pinboard for example (well, I don't use it, but I'm rooting for him).
Stonewall Riot Apology: Police Actions Were ‘Wrong,’ Commissioner Admits
That's wonderful. Now you can use those requests to read from or write to SQS, do DynamoDB stuff and play in the AWS walled garden where things seem cheap at first but things add up.

You can then keep telling yourself you have a stable, managed infrastructure and you're cutting on operational expenses and able to move fast while the engineers in your organization are working harder to make things work with generic services with shortcomings, making your product actually work in less than optimal ways.

Managed services feel like they are helping with operational costs but they have a cost when you're building your product.

I worked on projects that would have ended up being simpler and cheaper to operate on physical dedicated servers, but instead they are running on "ASG's that autoscale and have zero downtime" with "ALBs that send traffic to any and all hosts when all origins report unhealthy".

Things in the managed world is far less than ideal because one size doesn't fit all.
I would support your theory. Support staff don't scale as well or as fast as the technology they're supporting does.

I have often wondered about that for Google. Sure, they have bucket loads of cash, but could they even feasibly stand up a large enough support staff to handle all their platforms? They have so many services, across dozens of languages, and serve hundreds of millions of customers in different timezones.

Also, why would they want to? They're saving untold amounts of money by pushing the problem onto the consumer, and if it works 99% of the time then it's probably good enough.

Why am I not surprised that Kay Hymowitz, author of Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men into Boys, is also responsible for this reactionary screed that blames the loneliness epidemic on the decline of traditional family values without even considering the possibility that the atomizing effects of late-stage capitalism and neoliberalism[1] might be a more plausible cause?

A 1 Gbit/s connection is a great bandwidth (you probably mean 1 Gbit/s and not 1 GB), bit the latency is even more important. If the game movements and actions lag behind your physical input, this can ruin the whole experience, no matter if the stream has a great quality (few compression artifacts, high resolution) thanks to the bandwidth.

I only used the Shadow gaming VM service so far and the servers are in a neighbouring country, with 100 Mbit/s bandwidth and 30ms ping to 1.1.1.1, so not optimal conditions, but GTA IV, Minecraft and other games were not fun to play due to the input lag.

The "invest most of it" was the way to fight lifestyle creep. If you've made it "disappear" into a Vanguard fund (or whatever), then you don't have it "available" to tempt you into spending it. You set your budget/expectations/lifestyle for what you have left after investing most of the surplus.
Yep. If you're a programmer, think about a "game of life" simulation (or any other simulation).

Most of the comment was spent explaining the counter-arguments to your own accusations.

Homeschool helicopter-parents have thought that public schools are a dumpster fire for as long as they have existed. Parents absolutely do not have the skills alone to give their children a well-rounded education, period. That some people can even think this could ever be different is a testament to the low quality of education and media in the US.

I have heard this argument before, and think it is extremely overstated. Our current version of feminism has expanded across almost all of the west. Technologies like birth control and economies/technologies that allow for women to be in the workforce at mass scale were simply impossible in the past. It's really an apples to oranges comparison, and is an intellectually dishonest one at that.
I think people are underestimating the value of design in this space.

This is competing with every single idiosyncratic note taking activity that we all go through, and find probably at least marginally functional. Lots of people were taking notes before this app, it's not like this is opening a new door into how to live. What it's doing is taking the pains the half-solutions of the past were providing, and trying to offer a "better way".

I dunno if it actually is a "better way" yet, but for $0 bucks over 60 days, I'm willing to find out!

This is astoundingly cheap. In fact its too cheap, €10/month works out to €360 + €130 over a 3 year hardware cycle which is barely enough for a not-really-capable 4k GPU as it is, without costing all the additional services/hardware. And to put it bluntly, these games are second-rate titles from the last year. From this announcement I guess that this is mostly just another data farming play that will never generate a profit on its own and has a very high chance of being shutdown within 3 years.

The Art-Science of Taking Perspective
The are some important differences between measles situation and the situation with opioids and other drugs that people get addicted to and OD on, which may lead to the differences in news coverage:

1. People have been getting addicted to things since ancient times, and those addictions often led to the deaths. In all the time since then, we've never solved the problem of addiction. So, it is not at all shocking or surprising that people are still getting addicted to things and dying.

People have also been getting measles since ancient times...but we did solve that problem. Hence, the very existence of measles cases is newsworthy.

2. Most addicts become so for reasons that most people can understand. It's a "there but for the grace of God, go I" situation. We can imagine how we could have ended up that way, and for most of us I think that only requires imagining a few small changes to our past.

Getting measles in a first world country, though, except for people who cannot be vaccinated because they are too young, allergic, or have weak immune systems, requires that you, or a guardian if you are a child, to be an idiot.

3. Politicians may disagree what do do about addiction and the associated deaths, but generally they all agree it is a problem we need to do something about.

With measles, there are some politicians who think it is not a big deal, or even that it is good for kids to get measles, mumps, etc., thinking that this makes them stronger and reduces there chances for things like cancer later. There are bills in several states to make it easier for parents to opt out of school vaccination requirements. In Texas, that bill also prohibits state health officials from keeping track of who opts out, which will make it harder to track and contain outbreaks.
This is a really good point. Direct evidence of Satoshi's identity can only be in the form of someone claiming to be him, and that just wouldn't be credible. Circumstantial evidence is all we're going to get; even somebody spending Satoshi's BTC wouldn't be direct evidence since, as the article points out, someone else could have obtained (and be in the process of cracking) his hard drives.

>We've been working with the school following 'proper channels' for some ongoing incidents, and it hasn't been effective even though the school acknowledges the problem and that it is with the other kid involved.

All this focus on bullying is great - but it feels a lot like lip service.

Claiming that you don't tolerate bullying is very different to making it clear to the bully that you don't tolerate bullying. A lot of "zero tolerance" policies are really zero tolerance for the appearance of a bullying problem - we'll do literally anything to cover it up, including forcing the victim out of school, but we don't really care whether it's happening.

> We recently told our son that he's welcome to hit back when someone starts bullying him physically - he may get in trouble at school, but we'll support him at home. When 'proper channels' don't work, there's not a lot of options remaining.

Fair and reasonable. A lot of school administrators won't see it that way, but there's a valuable lesson to be had in the value of self-respect and the questionable integrity of many authority figures.

>If they're not (and honestly, I don't think they can - they have limited people, and their primary goal is teaching)

Anecdotally, I think it's a problem of willpower more than manpower. A lot of teachers (and particularly administrators) are far too willing to take the easy option. I was taught by many people who would go out of their way to intervene when they suspected bullying, but many who were all too willing to turn a blind eye if it earned them a quiet lesson or a quiet lunch break. Not all teachers are heroes and I don't expect them to be, but there's a fundamental issue of leadership and culture. If the principal cares more about standardised test results than the wellbeing of his students, that will poison the entire culture of the school.
Not feminism, the establishment of the discrete nuclear family as a social and labor unit divorced from kinship groups. When you've already pared down the web of fundamental relations to 2-5 person cells, your already only a step away from complete individual social collapse.

That doesn't even touch on the breakdown of community organizations (churches, fraternal orders, what have you).
I think the amount of discussion on this thread shows why AGPL is such a horrible license, there are loads of interpretations and the only way to know for certain is being sued.

I'd rather not have code source available under things like AGPL than run the risk with the minefield for lawyers it becomes.
The story is also a clickbait headline from an SEO-discussion website, who presumably know a thing or two about driving traffic to themselves. Despite the headline and lede, this isn't a 50% traffic drop for the Daily Mail, it's a 50% drop in Google search traffic specifically.

Without some more context, like which other sites this hit and what's changed (ranking drop? fewer search matches?), this is basically a non-story.
“There are also a few Medium alternatives out there. I personally post my blog to Dev.to (which you might be reading this on right now) as they support the features I need to control my own content.

Is Dev.to a developer focused medium? It looks really slick! Could it be a future Hugo and Medium replacement for developers personal websites/blogs?
Pollution in large facilities like coal-fired power plants can feasibly be controlled using technology that cannot be miniaturized and fitted to the tailpipe of every car.

Does that not just make it harder for informed opinions sway outcomes?

Or on the flip side does it actually make it harder to use a small subset of the population to steal an election from an apathetic population at large.

I.e. you'd still be able to take advantage of the apathy but it'd be a much slower moving change towards extremes and polarisation which is pretty good for democracy in general.
Why are you posting things publicly on the internet if not for other people to read them? If that's the case, what does it matter if a member of the public ends up reading it based on some filter?

That's the difference compared with someone stalking a person. We don't generally go out into public to allow others to follow us.
While I don't know about this specific policy, I'm happy that the push to electric vehicles (and hopefully carbon-free energy) is happening worldwide. This is one of the big areas we need to do absolutely immediately.

Otherlab founder Saul Griffith has a great analysis about why electrifying cars and more of our technology is so necessary in the US here: https://medium.com/otherlab-news/decarbonization-and-gnd-b8d...

Your next car should be electric.

I have a elementary question about the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (my understanding is Quatum Leap/transitions are just a description of the uncertainty principle wave function)...

As we know from “flatland” as a sphere passes through the flatland plane, the sphere can be measured as a dot/circle at any given time.

https://demonstrations.wolfram.com/ASphereVisitsFlatland/

Wouldn’t that measurement of a higher dimensional object passing through the lower dimensional world sort of begin to appear and fit the definition of the uncertainty principle for particles in our own 3D world?

In other words as the 3D sphere is measured passing through the 2d flatland flatlanders can either know the position of the sphere or momentum, but as they measure one more accurately they can’t measure the other as accurately?

I guess what I’m trying to ask is it accurate to use the uncertainty principle as a flatlander describing a 3D sphere passing through flatland and if so, Would that give any credence to the bizarre possibility that particles in our world are actually 4D objects?
