Go to any playground and you'll see 80% fathers. The reason is the mom is usually home the first 10-12 months, and the dad after that, which coincides with the baby learning to walk and being able to actually play at the playground. It doesn't necessarily mean we split things exactly equal, personally I'm on leave for 7 months now while my wife took 12, while the average for men is 3-4 months. Must make a strange scene for Manhattanites though!

> Would you rather read a really bad article that has no JS or a very well written one with JS enabled?

That's not always the choice though. There are lots of good articles, so you could ask: Would you read one good article that requires you run a (non-free) program in your web browser, or would you rather read another good article that doesn't require that? (or simply read the article elsewhere, if possible)

Presumably OP doesn't have an issue with sites that have "JS enabled", but sites that don't work at all without JS. For example Wiki Wiki Web[0] fails to display anything but a spinning loader animation when JS is disabled.

How to monetize a small website about research in cancer, ALS
Hi HNers,

I have a small website which receives 2500 unique visitors per month and I wonder how I could monetize it?

The web site is about health, with a focus on cancer and ALS, I add a new article every week when I find something interesting. Often I take a news in English, translate it in French, provide context. I do not publish PR text that can be found in multiple sites on Internet.
Even if few articles are in English, half users come from the US and the other half from France.
I tried Google Adsense but got no revenue at all during three months so I drop advertising.

Thanks for any comment!
In practically all developed countries, agriculture is wholly dependent on subsidies financed with taxes. The price of alimentary products in the supermarket does not reflect the true cost of production. This, coupled with countries like China subsidising exports, leads to a "race to the bottom" situation in which there's constant pressure to drive prices down.

One way to reduce waste would be to stop subsidising agriculture on a global level. This might be also be accompanied by raising the price of fuel and electricity. Before screaming bloody murder and downvoting, please consider the following:

- roughly 50% of food in the US goes to waste [1]. Meaning you already pay double what you think you pay.
- About 40% of people in the US are obese [2]. We're eating too much.
- Modern agriculture is an environmentally destructive practice [3]. Reducing food consumption can reduce its environmental impact.
- We have all become used to abundance - in practically all domains of life: water, food, energy, travel, communication. We have become desensitised to the real value of things, we have no conception of the externalities involved in producing them, and pass our lives on an infinite binge of blind consumption.

On a personal level, each of us can make the transition to consuming food in a more reasonable and sober manner. Finally, educating people about food waste is not enough. What's needed is rather a coordinated effort to move to a new model where people consume what they physically need, rather than indulging momentary craving.

Your attempt to sound reasoned fails a bit. You sound an awful lot like a men's rights shill.
You seem to think that because a family moves into their own house they do not get support from relatives? This is obviously completely false, and until ~50 years ago most people lived near their relatives, who would obviously help out a lot with raising a child.
Add to what you said, we're eating too much sugar causing a health crisis no one's talking about (from eating sugar).
If you’re in the EU, don’t forget to complain to your relevant data protection authority, and let them investigate the legality of it (GDPR requires that it be easy to say no as it is to say, which clearly isn’t the case here).

If you’re outside the EU, you might want to consider getting involved in the political process of your country so that one day you too may have legal protections for your data.
I'm not sure what Windows offer better in terms of third party tooling which is what matters more than OS itself.

I understand some need Windows only app to work but otherwise what does Windows offer better for third party apps that Mac doesn't for developers that WSL targets? I just can't think of one but I can think quite several the other way around.
I own an electric car with no artificial external sound.

I'd like to have an optional sound. Using the horn is an act of aggression, but enabling a Jetsons-like sound when I want to alert pedestrians would be very useful.

You should be able to disable it. For example, when coming home and parking late at night (headlights are visible then and it is quiet so a sound causes pollution).
Consider Einstein.

At the time his theories were made public, he was some German guy, and it was around WWI, so there was not much interest in hearing from him. There was a lot of hate towards Germans. But, since the theory was interesting, and they did a test which showed his theory could predict physical phenomena, it became accepted and so did he.

This is science.

It's not science if it is not falsifiable.
Wow, they don't track the sun? It seems a single motor can tilt the whole row of the panels with some relatively simple tilting mechanism. Heck, with gears a single motor can probably tilt multiple rows, since they need to move so slowly.
Could a partial answer to the power question be a large-scale bike system merging the power from people pedaling (probably some hydraulics in there) to drive a generator?

I am not sure that being a global network is a problem.

Instagram is a global network and seems to be doing fine (although the quality of the content has now declined).

Personally, a global network is what I want. I already have the solutions you mention (group chats, Slack/Discord instances, forums, etc) for specific communities. What’s missing is something like Facebook or Instagram where everyone is on it and I can just “add” them and get updates about them every so often.

If anything, the per-community problem is already solved thanks to Discourse, Slack/Discord, Reddit, group chats, etc. But a global network is what’s missing.
A related change for me came when I joined a CSA http://joshuaspodek.com/farm-food-summer and gave myself the rule to waste no food.

Since I didn't choose what food I'd get and they design the shares for a family not just one person, it forced me to use new foods and learn what grew near me and barely go elsewhere. The experience taught me a lot about how to see plants (and fungi) and prepare them.
Air conditioning and heating can easily be 2/3rds or more of your usage and is trivial to reduce. Instead of running aircon in the summer you can probably use a fan most days and save 5-10kWh per day. In winter, dress warmly and rug up in a blanket instead of keeping your room at 22°C. This on its own would make up the bulk of the savings.

Electric hot water is another huge power drain, switch to solar hot water and 3/4 of the year your hot water could be free (depending on climate, of course). Otherwise keep showers short, set the water heater thermostat to 50°C instead of 70°C and you could save a lot.

Depends on your TV, my old one pulled 400W or so. Not huge compared with heating/cooling but still significant if you leave it on all the time.

Tumble dryers use tons of power. Hang your laundry up instead and you could save yourself 20-30kWh/week.

If you're driving an electric car you're loaded enough that the cost of charging it will not be an issue anyway (especially given that every dollar you spend in electricity is saving you several dollars' worth of petrol).

So basically all of these things can be reduced a lot for very little extra effort or inconvenience. I don't think 2/3rds would be out of the question without making major sacrifices.
I agree with your sentiment that we are dealing with an infinite binge of blind consumption. It is an interesting thought but in some sense raising prices isn't going to stop the addict.

"I think it’s a status thing"

I'd say its a politeness/not appearing greedy thing, certainly from a food in the centre of the table point of view. Drives me mad when at the end on a dinner party you have one potato, one carrot stick, one chunk of bread.

This is from a UK point of view, I understand there are different motivations elsewhere.
I agree. There are lots of things about raising kids that are intellectually stimulating and fascinating. I really enjoy seeing them grow mentally and figuring out ways to help them along, and also think up ways to make things fun of course, because everyone needs fun.

For us, this has meant quite a lot of shared cultural consumption. I've bought hundreds of story books 2nd hand, and read to them, and I think it has helped their vocabulary (which is amazing). We've seen tons of children's movies together, we've played Minecraft and other comp. games together, we often play board games. I have also built things for them, like a huge outdoor swing set and a crossword puzzle game to help them get started with reading - https://puzzlepirate.net (also available as a free Android app).

There are so many things you can do with or for your kids that is fun or challenging to you also, if you just use some imagination (and have the time).
Depends on the degree of optimism, but in all I think the positives of the Internet vastly outweigh the negatives, and very much look forward to future developments. I would not trade instant audio/video/text communication with anyone across the globe, instant access to information (educational or otherwise), programs and media, and the ability to conduct fast-paced, global business from any location.

I very much look forward to future developments, which I think will come from VR & AR. Those will enable true face-to-face communication without the awkwardness of videochat, and allow people to collaborate in the same virtual environment as if they were in the same room, and that will be closer to the hyper-connectivity of cyberutopianism.

However I don't believe in the idea that a medium can dramatically change human nature for better or for worse.

Wouldn't the HPP process break the cell walls of the food being treated. This would lead to poor tasting and faster deteriorating of the food?

Freeze drying is a process for preserving food which shares the high pressure aspects of HPP. But apparently the pressure is not as high, and food can be stored for 20 years.
Sounds like you need to try some Minecraft mods :)
So true! The sugar addiction is real and I just don't know how to kick it. For me, it is twisted in with my caffeine addiction and I struggle trying to ward off potential withdrawal migraines with wanting to stop caffeine and also wanting to make it through life/work.
Remote GLX is a giant hack, and even NVIDIA gave up on it ten years ago. Modern GPU programming is all about data management and scheduling and bandwidth, and when you add serialization and latency into the mix, performance tanks.

For instance, sub-buffer updates have certain constraints that make it very fast in the local case but would require a lot of data serialized over a the wire every frame, and networks do not have the bandwidth for that.

"network transparency" is an anti-goal in protocol design for the same reason "rpc that acts like a function call" is inherently flawed - the network adds a lot of complexity and different design constraints.
I am basically very happy with the betas, they have features I really rely on in the app I am currently working on; for example a custom UTI deriving from "com.apple.package" is now properly working on iCloud, although Dropbox on iOS doesn't work with it (yet?) but shows a big red minus sign for those files.

What bugs me with Catalina is that my iMac Pro keeps rebooting when left unattended for an unpredictable but short time. I fixed that for now by using "Owly" which keeps it awake ...

I can’t type with a third party keyboard on ios beta. Or let’s say I can type once every 30 times. So at this point I’m must using the native ios keyboard and I hate it.
That puts me in the “it’s very very buggy” camp.
Reading the Do The Math blog https://dothemath.ucsd.edu and Low Tech Magazine http://lowtechmagazine.com, the obvious starting point is to consume drastically less.

My experience tells me that reducing consumption from the average American amounts by 50% to 90% is hard for the first 5% because you have to learn new ways of doing things, but then improves quality of life for the next 45% to 85%.

A negligible fraction of Americans have looked past that first 5%, let alone acted on it, but those who have keep finding more ways to improve their lives by reducing more.
Nice thing to do if you can afford it Mr. Million Dollar man. Most people can't just throw a "7 figure a year" job away.

I'd say that the stack machine in the GA144 is feasible to compile normal C to. And the 18-bit word is barely a problem. But the (complete lack of) memory architecture is a clear dealbreaker. There's no compiling a normal C program down to an architecture that has 64 words of RAM. At best you can gang a few cores together to make an emulator for a simple virtual machine.

It is in a sand boxed environment on Google drive. This is more of a proof of concept. I could potentially develop this further by:

2)Encrypt the data before sending it to google servers.

We waste practically zero organic waste. We have chickens which eat our waste food, which is minimal in itself. What they don't eat becomes compost n about three months time. We eat the eggs, approximately ten a day, and use the compost to grow food in our yard most of the year. All of this is on a .25 acre of land in a downtown setting.
This is overkill.

A way simpler solution is to simply not have a registered account with those companies. That's where the problems start, when they tie certain browsing and telemetry data to your true identity.

For everything else a good content blocker + the typical pihole list that include telemetry domains are enough protection.

I am registered with Apple and Amazon, and there's no way for me to change that because there is simply no one else that delivers this kind of value.

Long-term I could see the possibility of leaving Amazon, but there is a security-advantage when using amazon because otherwise I would leave all my personal data to countless small vendors who regularly get hacked, etc.

To add to that, an old friend married someone who’s main priority in life is to own a brownstone in Brooklyn. And their expectation engenders a fairly high degree of marital tension. The partner comes from a background in which, I’d guess, you show status by owning expensive property. And that’s a high barrier to happiness because earning that sort of money is not easy unless you’re willing to trade off a lot of your time.
You don't jump from nothing to a global network. You host tangentially-related communities in the middle. The more of them you host, the bigger your overall numbers are.

Instagram succeeded for that same reason: profiles set to private, no real name policy, people can't look you up in a search bar. It was easier to group up in small communities. The less that's the case, the crappier the content. Instagram was ruined the moment Facebook accounts were attached to Instagram accounts — it's just dying slowly, the same way Facebook is dying slowly.

The next "global" platform is going to be Discord. It started as a place to host gaming communities. People were subscribed to a few gaming communities, so it already made sense for them to join more communities that are available on the platform. Right now, it's no longer the place exclusively for gaming. Every subreddit has one, every Patreon supporter is a member of some secret one. It'll outlast both Instagram and Facebook for one reason only: no personal info what so ever. People can't find out anything about you by clicking on your username: not your real name, not your contact info, not even a list of other communities you are a part of. You join a community by being invited to one.
