You say 17% like that is a small amount. That could easily break their welfare system if they had to extract that shortfall via more taxes or contract their healthcare system.

Also the military is not the only way the European healthcare system is subsidized by the US. Americans finance the drug research that pushes the world forward. If the US adopted European healthcare regulations the incentives for drug research would plummet, and healthcare innovation would slow to a crawl

Nested sets come with significant downsides. They are a hassle to implement, but more importantly, a single insert can require writes to lots of rows. This is both problem for concurrent transactions and for row-based replication.

Two kids, 16 y/o son and 18 y/o daughter. Homeschooled. Both went to Montessori pre-school and kindergarten. Daughter started 1st grade in public school and within weeks our daughter who loved school and learning was starting to dread going to school. It was no one thing and our public school wasn't particularly bad. It was death by a thousand cuts:

- The adult tending the bus line who berated our daughter when her name was called but she didn't respond because her name was mispronounced and she didn't recognize it.

- The teacher who disciplined our daughter who was an advanced reader and finished a story quickly and then offered to help another student who was struggling but this wasn't allowed in the classroom.

- The immense amount of time wasted between classes not teaching.

- The music teacher who thought young kids were incapable of learning to read sheet music and had made up his own notation system.

- The teacher who was 8 months pregnant who would shortly leave the classroom and then there would be a series of substitutes with no continuity for the students.

And on and on.

Anyway, it worked well for us. It doesn't for everyone. My wife and our kids got along well. My kids turned out to be pretty good students. We could afford it. My wife who was otherwise unemployed enjoyed it.

We leveraged a ton of external resources: joined a secular homeschool group, co-op teaching, outside language and music teachers, extension classes offered by local science museums and universities, online courses, had our kids take a yearly standardized test to measure their progress, registered with the state as a homeschool, kept diligent records, kids did summer camps, karate, dance, were on sports teams, etc. I never would have guessed how booked our calendar became. I sometimes think we would have had more time to do things as a family if they'd stayed in public school. There's this idea you can take offseason vacations but this doesn't really work out because everything else you have your kids do is tied to a traditional school calendar.

It's a huge commitment and was a full time job for my wife. My son expressed some desire to go to high school but later changed his mind.

Anyway, you can try a year of homeschool and see how it works for you. We know lots of families who did both. For some it didn't work because the parent/child relationship isn't the same as teacher/student and for some of our friends the latter just didn't work out.

Also: there are many styles of homeschooling. Some will run things just like a traditional school but at home: fixed lesson plans, schedule, room to learn in, etc. At the other end you have unschooling. We took a middle ground. My wife has a lesson plan for the year, breaks it down by week. But we give our kids flexibility on each day. As they got older my wife would just put their daily or weekly tasks on a whiteboard and leave it to them to complete:

US military spending makes us considerably less safe.
Space launch vehicles have self-destruct buttons (including the Space Shuttle) but they also carry enormous kinetic force. A balloon gone wild doesn't need to be destroyed. To your broader point, it doesn't seem especially risky to put hydrogen in modern balloons.

IIRC this is mostly done to prevent SQL injection attacks. In a modern system there is 0 reason not to allow any characters in the password (within whatever encoding you support).
For one-time GPU processing tasks that only take a couple hours, AWS spot / GCP preemptible is far more cost efficient than Hetzner.

However, if you need to run a GPU 24/7 and/or have massive bandwidth requirements, Hetzner is far more cost effective than AWS/GCP.

It's a balance of needs.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying. I read your post as: "X is the case, arguments for not-X are anecdata, we have to take not-X on trust,

I’m of the opinion that is how we should assess medical treatment, by cost. People get a ton of unnecessary treatment. Depending where you live $2k for a hospital trip via an ambulance may also be fair. Think about how many people saw your son, drove you, the bed he took. In SF a bed in a hotel is $400 - $500. That’s just a bed, not anything else.

Your take home salary in the U.S. is typically 80% after tax (effective tax rate). In the EU it’s closer to 50% (or less). It’s much more expensive in the EU just not all at one time. That’s perception.

I do think we should have competition though and open pricing. Can’t decide to do something or not unless pricing is clear.

Also if you are upset about medicinal costs be upset at the medical schools. They limit the number of doctors intentionally to inflate salaries.
If you're lucky!

I only see the dots
I had a lot of problems with Moonmail. Took forever to get our domain verified properly even though we were following all of the steps exactly, and in the meantime their support said that the lack of verification wouldn't be a problem, which wasn't true. Then after it was all worked out, something got reset and we had to go through the process again.

We're still on it because we don't use email a lot and it'd be a big time commitment to start over somewhere else, but if I was starting again I'd stay away.

> Rarely during the late 1770s and 1780s was the Declaration publicly read or celebrated. Instead, most Americans celebrated their state constitutions and the promise of liberty contained within them. Or they celebrated their local declarations from 1776. Only during the 1790s was the Declaration revived...

It seems relevant here that the late 1770s and 1780s was also the same period when the United States was governed under the Articles of Confederation, rather than the Constitution we have today (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederation_Period).

The Articles of Confederation established a much weaker central government than the later Constitution would. So it would make sense, in a regime where the several states were still regarded as near-sovereign entities, that people would look to the founding documents of their state as the guarantors of their liberty. And it also makes sense that, when the weak central government proved unable to meet the challenges of the time and people started thinking about replacing it with a stronger one, new attention would be drawn to documents like the Declaration that spoke from a national perspective.
I was aware of the impossibility to control the dose when you ingest a capsule so I wouldn't have been surprised to experiences some side-effect, a hangover, just like when you drink too much and the euphoria is replaced by unpleasant physical symptoms. What puzzled me was the fact that I went straight into unpleasant physical symptoms, with zero euphoria (or anxiety, or any other mental alteration).

Both countries have terrible histories in these respects, but I think a fair case can be made for Europe having a longer period of this sort of method of wealth accumulation(/theft?) opposed to the US. The US shouldn't be cast as some sort of bystander in that same context--just a younger protege.
10 years or 1,000 years. Just Thwaits or the entire West Antarctic Sheet?

I don’t see how this type of wild speculation is particularly useful, and can think of many ways that it’s counter-productive.

It’s something that should be studied. When the error bars are a little tighter than “nothing to see here for a millennia” to “most cities uninhabitable” then perhaps this becomes slightly more concerning than an extinction level asteroid strike?
Gosh, now I feel special for making it in "only" 3:10... :P
SES is as good as Mailchimp and very inexpensive. Too bad Mailchimp phased out Mandrill, which was reasonably priced and had a nice interface. SES has no interface at all but works great.
Really agree with the premise here. I came to a somewhat similar conclusion (concession?) this year after spending tons of time and energy "perfecting" a couple acre yard we moved into. The kicker this year was spotting a weed growing through a crack in the concrete floor of my detached garage--no sun, very little water, and this thing was still growing!

While not mowing is nonstarter in my and essentially every other neighborhood, I've completely come to terms with the clover and random broadleaf weeds we have, they're part of the yard. Trying to get that picturesque carpet led me down a path of using questionable chemicals and spending tons of unnecessary time killing native vegetation that _wanted_ to grow and has thrived here in western PA.

I'm now consigning certain sections to wildflowers and just overseeding the rest of the yard with native grasses in the fall to naturally work up the more desirable stuff and thicken it. No more chemicals, and mowing slightly more frequently has also helped keep the dandelions down. Slowly I'll mulch other areas, especially around the trees, and try to put in some more low-maintenance landscaping like this article suggests.
But the primary goal of a graduate program isn't avoiding harassment and discrimination at all costs. It's to provide the best candidates for the relevant field. To "forcefully" throw in some extra "support pets" feels like a really silly solution to tackle that problem.
Only speculation until official announcement. However, it is worth noting that the Pi-Top 4 does not include built-in peripherals. That may affect the price.
I’m probably reading too much into your comment, but there’s a big difference between “a” government and “the” government depending on where you live. I don’t trust Facebook at all, but I trust them more than I trust certain governments around the world. At least they don’t have a military. Sometimes assholes without guns are better to have in charge than anyone with guns.
TuneCore changing its pricing structure a number of years ago is probably the classic example.

An artist can jump ship to another distribution broker, but there are a lot of downsides such as losing play counts and breaking links.

Can any of the distribution brokers be trusted to act in an artist's interest indefinitely? There's just an inherent problem with that.
If you live in a city, a car is much less needed, anywhere else, you're correct, it's a big expense. When I was poor my car always caused me money troubles. Insurance, tags, gas, breakdowns. If any of that goes out you pay more in fines.

Eating out is a luxury. It's much much cheaper to buy groceries. Groceries are cheaper in the US than any country I've been to, including Thailand. I didn't try to eat natively though (bought cheese/beef/milk imported from Australia)

When we eat out it's usually fast food or pick-up, we don't like eating in public. It's between $15-30 for both of us. Thailand it was cut in half, but we used Grab to deliver it to us. Japan we spend upwards of $50 for half the portions.

You're comparing being poor in US vs Thailand. I'm sure you know the standard of poor is very different. Being poor in the US would be middleclass living at least in Thailand.

tl;dr I disagree, being poor in America is a much more pleasant experience than being poor in many other countries.

Yeah, if you also encouraged other types of people too. But, like, listing out all the types would be a little much.

Like, women are obviously under represented in tech, despite many efforts by the Big 4 to increase representation [0]. The Big 4 are doing better at getting women into tech, but they still have a ways to go. The survey details some of those struggles. So, logically, you'd like to continue to encourage women to apply. WASPy men don't seem to need this encouragement thus far, but times may change.

> In my experience "free" healthcare stops being a thing once you get above certain income level as the service provided by the public healthcare facilities is subpar (waiting lists huge, best specialists often work at private clinics, etc.) so you end up going private but you still end up paying a huge chunk of your income in tax.

My impression is that this varies a lot by country. For example that might be true in Australia and Canada, but not France or Germany. There are many different ways to implement universal healthcare.

> there are clearly more hurdles for women than for men, as evidenced by the fact that more men than women make it through

This has three very large assumptions:

1. Men and women share the same distribution of relevant abilities

2. Men and women share the same distribution of relevant interests

3. Men and women share the same distribution of societal expectations and external opportunities

A lot of people seem to assume that either #1 or #2 are false, and there's research to support #2 being false. #3 being false also seems intuitively obvious to me, given that it's stereotypically more acceptable to be a housewife than a househusband (as one example of many).

One of the great features of Mailchimp (for us) is the seamless integration with Mandrill. Our Designer creates templates, pushes them to Mandrill and they are immediately used in production when we send out notifications.
My manager used to do that so much with outrageous over-simplification that I instituted a rule. If, in any budget/estimation/planning meeting, anyone said "all you have to do is ..." or "it's just ...", they were volunteering for that task to be assigned to them.

Epilogue: it was a Pyrrhic victory. He wrote absolutely terrible code which was difficult to read, impossible to maintain, had no tests or docs, and ignored all coding standards. Every task looked easy to him because all it needed was a drive-by hack to make it look good for a quick demo on Friday, and he wasn't going to be the one to fix the inevitable bugs found in it next week.
In the case of the c2 wiki, you can still download the raw text and write your own parser, at least.

Although I agree with the issue being sites that don't work at all without JS enabled. (That is why I suggested ignoring JavaScript when indexing.) (The c2 wiki should be made to work without, or at least, to add a <noscript> which links to the raw text, perhaps.)
As an Indian dev living in India, i'd like to offer a bit of background.
I'm currently doing my 3rd year at Uni and mostly do contract projects which encompass building/maintaining/optimizing deep learning and machine learning models. I also do a lot of data analysis work, data migration, etc, etc. The developers I work with and who I am around will never work for an outsourcing company. The outsourcing companies hire devs for as little as INR25000 (USD363.34) a month and use them for websites/native apps, etc. Mainly a lot of grunt work. If you really want to hire good Indian devs, try looking at LinkedIn and go for the younger, just out of a good Uni lot for dev work. Consulting is a whole different outlook here.
> The US has been having it’s longest continuous period of economic growth ever.

Cost of living and healthcare costs are skyrocketing and have outpaced inflation for decades. Wages are stagnant, and benefits are rare for those who are working.

Yes, if you have significant investments, you're benefiting handsomely.

If you have thousands of dollars of student debt, can barely afford health insurance and are making much less than your parents did at your age, things don't look so good from that perspective.
