MRI machines can cost less than 150k at this point. MRI Tech salaries are mid 70’s a clear sign there is no shortage.

Consumer cost has basically nothing to do with hardware or manpower at this point.

You're assuming women are 50 times more likely to want to be a "sensible life partner" which isn't true, in my experience. Maybe it's just my age category (early 20s), but women and men alike aren't concerned with settling down.

Plus with the advent of online profiles, I don't have to go on 100 dates to figure out 50-90 of them won't work out. so if 1 out of every 10 dates I go on is a winner, and it takes me a week to set up those 10 dates, then it is still better than for a guy to spend a month setting up 10 dates, of which due to small sample size, there's a lower chance of the let's say 2-3 sensible life partners appearing.

The fixation on the nuclear family and its supposed decline, is transparently reactionary ideology. The term "nuclear family" was first used in 1947 and didn't even become the most common form of household until the 1960s or so.[1] Prior to that (and still today in many less-industrialized cultures), cohabitation with extended family and communal parenting arrangements were much more common.

You could just as easily blame capitalism for making people lonely by concentrating lucrative employment opportunities in just a few cities and encouraging young people to uproot their lives and relocate for work.

Last mile times are always going to cause lag. 5g won't be rolled out for years, then you'll need a phone to take advantage of it so that's not going to help. Last mile in US performance is really poor unless you're on full fiber which isn't offered in most of the US. Even with direct peering to the ISPs, which they don't have, this isn't likely to be a superior experience compared to a local machine. They'll have to push the entire video stream along with the intelligence. That's a lot of data that can't be lagged.
Owning a car and without a car is not a synonym.

An efficient car sharing infrastructure can easily alleviate the need for the odd drive.

Living in rural area - you need a vehicle and a gun. That's true for people in Europe as well as in US.

The problem with midwest, is that sprawling poorly connected suburbia was a form of social engineering. Most old world cities have grown organically, not with someone's "grand design" in mind. Thus - in US, outside of NYC, you don't have an option to not own a car.

That's one of my fears as well.

I'm 25, and recently started studying at university where most of my peers are 18-20. After getting to know them for a bit, from everything I've gathered most of them have not been in youth groups of any kind (that topic recently came up during lunch), and are also not involved in any other communities at the moment. Also no bands. The contrast to my friends from high school at that age is crazy.

The difference might be more pronounced due to other factors: They are mostly straight A students vs. I was basically the opposite (though my friends did well in school). They mostly grew up in metropolitan areas vs. us in a semi-rural setting.

But even if those are significant factors, that doesn't make the outlook any better, with more and more pressure being put on children to perform well in school and more and more people moving to big cities.

I think you only got that reply because in your original comment you didn't mention your son's disability. I was wondering myself what you were going to have to do to kick his butt out until you mentioned why he's still at home. Makes a lot more sense with that detail.
Yes. That's always a risk for something you're renting.
> I am making a significant personal sacrifice to mitigate this issue for future generations by providing the exact CS mentorship and guidance that these people are (rightfully) complaining that they lack.

I'm sure the people being displaced by tech workers are warmed by this thought. If I am being reductive and manipulative, it is at least as reductive and manipulative to compare the problem of diversity in tech to the problem of capital rapidly gentrifying and displacing people.

I am grateful you provide to the community, but this attitude of "I doubt that most of these people make a fraction of the amount of effort that I do to contribute to the community." is incredibly toxic and narcissistic.
We're talking only about ride hailing cars, right? Not all.
It's not like any of this is new territory either. Xbox Game Pass works like that (minus the streaming) and OnLive worked exactly like that (streaming + unlimited games). It's not an unreasonable demand.

Apple Looks to Acquire Struggling Self-Driving Car Startup Drive.ai
In the past I have used flights religiously. Its been great for me. I've even been in situations where it said a price X, I went direct to united.com and the price was X+10%, and when I went back to google flights and clicked through I really did get X.

However this year I did for the first time get the other way around where I couldn't buy the price it said was available. I've also noticed Kayak now just as good or better, and flighthub is generally great too.

So for me it used to be the best, now is good, but nothing amazing.
NYPD apologizes for the Stonewall raid, 50 years later
OK that wasn't clear. But then it also doesn't seem useful for the goal to determine if somebody is permanently serious and should be left alone to their suicide. But I don't think I agree with that approach, anyway.
Essentially in that paper Carroll argues that the dilution away of the matter means that incoming radiation at a point p in the far future when there are billlllions of light-years of empty space around p is so redshifted that it makes no difference to the massive particle at p, even if by random chance a whole mess of incoming radiation arrives all at once.

The counter-concern is that in a truly infinite universe, enough ultra-infrared energy arrives at p that (with more realistic matter) pair-production occurs in such a way that bound states (nuclei, atoms, molecules, brains-with-memories) start forming.

Infinity is hard to cope with, and Carroll likes playing with those.

Boltzmann Brains are infinitesimally unlikely in the really foreseeable future of our universe, but if we jump from foreseeable (say, trillions of years) to infinite, all sorts of weird stuff can happen. Including your brain in a jar, convinced that it is not in a jar but living (after being conventionally born) in a universe full of other humans and cats and stars and galaxies.

What annoys Carroll is that small fluctuations are much more probable than large fluctuations, and a brain-in-a-jar-with-false-memories requires a much much much much (insert several more "much" here) much smaller fluctuation than a real universe with a hot big bang and structure formation and evolution of primates who walk around staring at smartphones.
Not the parent, and I don't have sources handy, but just from some things I've read:

When hiring decisions are made, hiring managers will often prefer men with families, because they will generally stick with the company longer because it's riskier to change jobs with a family to support. This doesn't work for women; hiring managers will be less likely to want to hire a woman of child-bearing age because they're afraid she'll get pregnant and suffer productivity losses as well as take maternity leave. They also assume that a woman with children will be less attentive to work due to child care duties. They assume that men will be less affected by this because, while things are indeed changing, the default assumption is that men will prioritize career over child-rearing, while women will choose the opposite.
The advantage to buying the Stadia controller, as I understand it, is that it (the controller) connects directly to the game instance and doesn't get proxied through the system streaming the game -- which can decrease latency.

I was one of the first users of Bitcoin, and one of the earliest developers. I'd like to have a beer with Satoshi some day, so I took a brief look at this. But I'm unconvinced.

One key claim is "they both liked gambling, Bitcoin 0.1 had a poker client in it". Beyond the obvious problem that lots of people like poker, this claim is nonsense. None of the versions of Bitcoin I've ever seen had a poker client in them. It's not even clear what that would mean - you can't implement (mental) poker with Bitcoin Script. And I don't recall Satoshi ever commenting on gambling one way or another.

Another claim is that they both knew C++. Let's assume for a moment that TrueCrypt was written by Paul le Roux (I don't know the backstory). I downloaded the TrueCrypt code and had a look at it.

The TrueCrypt code doesn't share the same rather distinctive coding style Satoshi used. Bitcoin was rare for all kinds of reasons, but one rather obscure reason is that he used a simplified variant of Hungarian notation and only wrote code for Windows. The TrueCrypt code doesn't share this quirk, but it does have a different formatting quirk that I haven't seen before (there's always a space after a function name and the argument list in invocations). Satoshi didn't use that style either. Styles can be pretty distinctive, and I've never seen one that exactly matched Bitcoin's. So it looks to me like these codebases were written by different people.

The other bits of "evidence" are all circumstantial and frequently absurd. The entire thing traces back to Craig Wright, which isn't a good sign.
This. You don't need a PC at all, I don't have one, just a TV and a Shield, and GeForce Now works great for me. I just buy Steam games through their website and it works perfectly.
I'd like to invent things, but I'd like to avoid dying because of my own inventions.
Guilt is unnecessary, agreed. And so is blame. Taking responsibility is. Without, you can't fix your mistakes.

And yes, personality and ability of children are definitely shaped by the parents. Of course, now that the kid is an adult, things are much harder to fix. But that doesn't mean the parents have no role in it.

I wouldn't say we know exactly how to heat up Mars. Without a magnetic field, any atmosphere we conjure out of the polar regions would escape into space. We are far, far closer to completely reversing the effects of climate change on Earth than we are to teraforming Mars.
I'm not entirely sure, but you may have misunderstood my point. It's not about fairness, it's about whether it is physically possible to play the game on the same level of skill.

Talking about shooters, in the traditional multiplayer setup input-to-display latency isn't actually a concern, because input-to-display doesn't go over the network at all. When you move your mouse, the display update loop doesn't contain a network roundtrip. There is only the concern of latency to the server for resolving which hits actually connect, and I agree with you that having this latency be roughly the same for everybody is probably quite a bit more important than how low it is.

With game streaming, the input-to-display loop does include a network roundtrip, which makes it harder to aim.

If you've ever tried to play a shooter with <15 fps, or suffered from the mouse input lag that some games used to have on Linux in the past, you should know what I mean: aiming with the mouse crucially relies on a feedback loop where you correct your hand movement based on what you see on the screen. The longer that feedback loop takes, the harder it is to aim.

That's what the concern is with competitive shooter play on game streaming services. (And it's why I wrote that other types of competitive games may not be affected as much, but it's been a long time since I've played a lot of games, so what do I know...)
Why I am leaving my engineering job at Facebook after 7 years
It does not look like I can use it from either my Chromebook or my TV (Roku or Chromecast), where as Stadia indicates that it will be playable on my Chromebook, Android phone, and Chromecast.
I live in a cabin in the woods. I rarely talk to my family, maybe once or twice a year. My kids have grown up and moved out. I only talk to coworkers when I have to, and until recently I worked remotely. I can go days without vocalizing except to the dog (who does talk back, just in dog). Life is great.

I think society is coming along nicely in the right direction.
What is Token and Tokenisation in the financial world
I haven't been paying attention recently, but last time I checked, there were no known escapes out of Solaris zones, while there are quite a few CVEs about escaping Linux containers and even QEMU/KVM/Xen.

The one escape out of FreeBSD jails that I'm aware of (CVE-2005-2218) involved not a bug in the jails code, but by burrowing out via devfs.

So it seems that OS-level virtualization/security has a better track record.
We can float things in the earth atmosphere at sea level. My completely ignorant prior is that we should be able to do it there too, if the temp and pressure are the same.
The disclaimer was meant to say that it's just an idealized system of two masses at a given distance. I picked these values to show what speed an object orbiting around a 'light' object like an asteroid approximately has.

So sorry: it's not in that orbit. I should have made that clear instead of talking about the probe, circling, ... which sounds pretty concrete.

(The asteroid is not spherical or homogenous and is even supposed to be a "rubble pile" with large holes inside which makes it highly questionable at best to treat it as point mass (you could if the probe were far enough away from it ... which it is not at all), but hey ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
Loneliness in America Is Caused by Our Broken Culture
THis is cool to hear about, since I've been considering an NVidia Shield TV for awhile now for some other use cases. But being able to play my Steam collection, without having a PC around would be awesome, too. In fact, I really don't have much use for my PC anymore, then.
> this can shave a significant amount of latency off controller inputs

How on earth would it do that? WiFi alone is a significant part of the latency here! Not to mention the huge jitter it brings. Screw in your smart cheap-ass 802.11b light bulb and watch your game feel off.

No, they want this stuff to work with Chrome out of the box and so they needed to cut out the middle-man anyway, and people aren't exactly prepared to put an Ethernet cable into it. But let's not pretend WiFi is somehow an improvement over connecting it to a PC that just blasts your input out through Ethernet (where it then traverses all the same boxes that it does "over WiFi" anyways, minus the shared medium that is used to stream 4k to your TV)

==I have heard a number of friends say this, though almost always indirectly.==

Is it possible you are inferring it a certain way because of your bias? For instance, I complain about having kid all the time, but I wouldn't give him up for anything.

==There is a real stigma associated with being unhappy with parenthood, but many people do not seem to enjoy the process.==

This is something only a non-parent would say. Nobody enjoys the sleepless nights, dirty diapers or unexplained whining, but those are part of the same process that leads from laughing, to crawling, to walking, to speaking, to reasoning.

==From my own observations, eventually most parents adjust their own personal "bar" for happiness and more or less accept their lot. I'm sure they get something positive out of it, but it seems to be a tradeoff for other sources of happiness and life satisfaction which usually become unavailable to parents.==

Your wording implies that you have never actually asked a parent if they get anything out of it, but just make an assumption to fit your mental model. Everything in life is a trade-off, that isn't the same as wishing you didn't do something.
You’re mistaken about GeForce Now - it streams games running in nVidia’s servers. If I remember correctly, based on Intel Xeon and their own Volta GPUs.

GeForce Now has its own library of streamable titles for purchase, but it also allows you to link your Steam (and others) account to authorize streaming of games you already own and happen to be available in their library. But they run remotely.

I was very impressed with it, and my comparisons between streaming from nVidia’s remote servers or my own gaming PC yielded negligible differences in visual performance and latency. Your mileage will naturally vary.
