I get up at 4 AM for work (i.e no time to do anything in the morning apart from breakfast, brushing teeth and getting dressed) and most days I'm done at work by 3 PM, home by 3:30-4:00. My wife has already picked the three-year old up from day care. He's playing, watching TV, or helping me make dinner. I clean as I go when cooking so the kitchen ends up clean and the dishwasher reloaded/run during this time, then we sit down to eat as a family and we're done around 5PM.

Clean those things up and do a quick chore (vacuuming takes about 15 minutes, or load/run the washing machine, etc.) and then play pretty much uninterrupted with the kid for 1.5-2 hours while my wife does her thing or vice-versa. Some days we just lark as a family by going to the playground or whatever. 6:30-7:30 is bedtime routine for the little guy with bathing, brushing teeth, winding down and then lullaby. 7:30-10PM (my bedtime) is when we have quality time together, our own hobbies, etc.

We don't foster dogs, that's true, but we have other interests that take a fair bit of time each week. So while we do double up a bit on "parenting time" and "chores", you can see how there's absolutely enough time for each of us to spend 1 hour/day doing health and fitness related activities while the other one takes care of the kid. If you're a single parent this all goes out the window, obviously.
I do think it's still true that the VPN market is teeming, even if a lot of the smaller services are owned by the same company. I keep seeing ads for ExpressVPN and NordVPN everywhere these days, some of these really trying to sell the idea that you can't ever browse the web without VPN. It seems like they're having a lot of success and growing very quickly these days, hence all these duplicate ones too.

That's an extremely negative take on a beautiful, if sad, story. I'd rather focus on the positive, beautiful aspects, like the heart-touching gestures of his friends and how he hope when nothing was going his way. Sometimes that's really all you can do.

I wonder why that is, I see very, very little of that mentality in the Netherlands.

There's also a very interesting phenomena where right now in London the people who bike are "Cyclists" where they're much more likely to be enthusiasts, people who want to really go fast, people who have Bicycling as part of their identity. In the Netherlands, it's just a way of getting around and not an ideology.

The other contributing factor could be size. London is so much bigger than most Dutch cities. If you're commuting across London, speed probably matters much more to you.
I used to work for DSP/C -- one of the first companies Intel had bought in order to enter the Cellular market (later sold to Marvell Semiconductors which, after a few years, exited the cellular market and closed the division)

There are a few objective reasons making it difficult to compete in the cellular business and a few Intel specific reasons:

- Intel's process and FABs are designed for high performance x86 chips. Not low power cellular chips. Given that the margins on x86 chips are also way higher, there was no incentive to change anything. So the cellular modems were produced using a power hungry process and were less competitive.

- At the time, Qualcomm was holding most essential patents required for implementing 3G (and probably now 4G). Licensing fees are enormous burden on anyone entering the market.

- Cellular technology undergoes tons of tests by operators, handset manufacturers, base station equipment manufacturers. It takes a lot of effort (and manpower) to execute all these tests and make the required modifications. It doesn't help that the reference platform is Qualcommm. So if you had made different a different tradeoff than Qualcomm, you may do better in some tests but will have to make fixes for other tests.

- Some problems are only seen in the field and only in certain places (due to quirky base station equipment, non standard deployment, etc.) Again, it takes a lot of effort to detect and fix those issues.

- Qualcomm (The big incumbent in this business) is huge: over 30,000 employees. No way you can compete if all you have is about a 1000-engineers in your cellular division.

By the way, the only successful cellular maker I'm aware of besides Qualcomm is MediaTek (Taiwan) which:

- Concentrates on the low end market.

- Ships complete solutions. You can find lots of different phones which are essentially a single MTK design with very few modifications.
Grip strength is an indicator for overall fitness since it will improve from a range of activities, weightlifting being an obvious one but even something like cycling will have an improved grip compared to someone who doesn’t do anything.
Improving your grip strength specifically won’t really improve your performance or overall fitness though (unless you are into rock climbing!)
I have 168 free hours a week at the moment and I am still somehow getting nothing extraordinary done :)
If UBI is truly universal will it create inflation? Would there be some upper bound where taxes > UBI on certain individuals?
I think the other thing that's not mentioned much is that most Dutch cities are commuting at quite low speeds. I'm lucky to average 10mi/hr.

There's a huge change in the energy of a crash as you start going faster. A 15 mi/hr biker has 2.25x the energy of a 10mi/hr biker and so if you crash it's so much worse.

At 9mi/hr, you're pretty much always walking away from the crash.

Literally nothing will prepare you for that. No amount of time is enough. Living your life in abject fear of that morbid possibility is crippling.
Well the discussions here are not exactly from a random sampling of individuals. Many people in HN are programmers, meaning that their productivity does not scale linearly with time. That is, you may get a considerable amount of work done in 4 hours, and the proceeding 4 hours may yield hardly any progress at all. Any knowledge worker can relate. But in a lot of industries, there is a lower bound of hours that need to be worked.

I used to work in the medical device industry, and hospitals, and also have some real estate company experience. I can assure you in my experience, a 40-hour workweek was by no means unreasonable in these industries. If you're working in Semiconductors or Finance or Law or most industries out there, you really do need to be physically present and working 6-8 hour days.
My point wasn't about what the previous referendum was regarding, just that it was necessary to have a confirmatory referendum back then and it's somehow the worst thing ever when a confirmatory referendum is insinuated now. I believe a minority of people (even up to 40% potentially) feel like they'll be robbed of a "win" if the vote is put to the people now. And thus are incredibly defensive of anyone being allowed to vote again.

It's also a tangially related point but the referendum was organised when glastonbury was happening and since the demographics state that young people tend towards remain, and they were essentially denied a vote. Since 34% of all people didn't vote, and it's such a slim majority I don't buy the argument that it's "the will of the people", it's the will of some people, and it has polarised the country.

The fact is that people didn't actually know what they were voting for, everyone had a different version of brexit in mind, most were absolute fantasy. There are a lot of people who are anti-EU due to decades of defamation by ruling parties and our mass media.

Regarding my last point the EU had to set up a site to defend itself, but, as you likely know: disinformation is hard to counteract.

https://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/euromyths-a-z-index/

My statement about "will of the people" being a meme follows directly the definition of memetics:

> Memetics describes how an idea can propagate successfully, but doesn't necessarily imply a concept is factual

People are always saying it's the will of the people but they're unwilling to possibly have another referendum, they're unwilling to accept that people have been lied to, and they're unwilling to accept that brexit as described has changed.

Here's all the prominent leavers saying we would stay in the single market if people voted leave:

So it's not fact, but it's a soundbite that gets repeated ad infinitum.
And someone decided to mod that down instead of provide evidence to the contrary.

The point stands.
Reading an interview that actually focuses on the interviewed was refreshing. Question, response, question, response. Too many of the articles I've read lately, especially the ones about insect decline, intersperse the dialogue with distracting descriptions. Perhaps this is what you have to do when you don't have as well-spoken a subject as Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson seems to be.

Most interesting thing I learned: Meal worms eat plastic.
Someone should tell this to MongoDB which took funding from CIA.
Honestly, I think it depends on how it goes. As a young kid, I watched my dad write emails through Hotmail over HyperTerminal (I think) to other doctors discussing surgical procedures.

Honestly, I quite enjoyed it. He just wrote the emails and I just sat there and read what he wrote and understood some tiny fraction. Thoroughly enjoyable.
I don't know any c, so I answered "I don't know" on all the questions. Turns out I'm actually a C genius.
I am always somewhat puzzled by the focus on free time without taking into account the energy balance of a person.

I find often that when someone says “I don’t have the time”, what they really mean is that they don’t have energy left to take on something else.

In my case, I find that there’s often enough hours, but I don’t always have the energy to be active 100% of that time and just end up taking some rest.
Some languages do fight your attempts to write good code every step of the way :-)

Requiring cyclists to have number plates is just going to discourage cycling.

It will cost millions to organise, will the DVLA take on this new responsibility? Do scooters count? Roller blades? A 5 year old rolling around their neighbourhood?

It will push more people back into their cars resulting in a more unhealthy population running over more pedestrians, and to top it off, motorists have to be registered and that doesn't seem to discourage breaking traffic rules en masse.

So basically, costs a lot of money and result in more deaths - for what benefit?
And it only cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year since 1980, plus lots of fish. A really sweet deal!.

In the other hand, some of this billions of dollars could be used in nature conservation, or cleaning the lake by our own means and forever, or...
I don't agree with the original but this doesn't sound convincing. You still get to choose to keep the child, right?
You just made me realize how lucky I am. I'm commuting 2x 55min per day. I always think it's too much, but it's mostly by train. There is about a 50% chance of me getting 2x 35min uninterrupted reading time out of it (depending on the crowd).
Perhaps a more nuanced way of putting it:

There's only one real grocery store (Mi Tierra Linda) on the east side of 101, and the other side of 101 is mostly residential. You don't get much more shopping until you get close to El Camino, and most of the grocery stores you'll find there (like the Whole Foods near the Palo Alto train station) are targeting a much more upscale market.
79 years making stuff _I care about_ would be heaven, though.
The Oberon system has drivers in, well, Oberon (which is a high-level Pascal successor with garbage collection). Low-level memory access is done through magical peek/poke functions, in which all the dirtyness is concentrated (and these might not be allowed in user programs - not sure). This means the language as a whole is not littered with unsafe pointers just to service the tiny subset of programs that need them.
At that point, wouldn't it have made more sense to set expectations that their 1-week turnaround is realistically a 3-week ask, instead of working 20 hour days?

"Tyrannical" is an absurd way to frame the 40-hour workweek.

The vast majority of people in the world aren't tech workers where productivity and time spent have a nonlinear relationship. Having been on both sides of the coin, calling a 40-hour work week "tyrannical" screams "ivory tower". Those of us in law and medicine (not to mention numerous people in early-stage startups) would get a great laugh out out of that characterization.

Because DDG and Mozilla both have sources of revenue and so don't need to sell their users down the river to keep the lights on. If Cloudflare does offer a free VPN that's a good bit of marketing for their actual services. How's FreeVPNCo going to pay for its servers? What about bandwidth?
I agree with the (apparently unpopular) notion and I avoid describing things as "x crack" and wince a bit when people use it as it seems a bit tone-deaf and childish, like referring to something you don't like that there's too much of as "programmer AIDS" or a bad design as a "UI Holocaust" or a failed project as an "abortion" or a bad sports defeat as being "raped", all of which make a similar kind of allegorical sense but are more obviously tacky.

For whatever reason crack allusions are a bad taste joke that people (unlike most of the above) don't seem to realise is bad taste, possibly because they consider crack addicts as either other or lesser to them, rather than unfortunate victims with a shared humanity.

> My C/C++ code is as boring as possible.

One advantage to being an older programmer is I don't feel any need to show off any more. I try to make it so obvious that anyone would look at it and think that's so simple, anyone could do it.

It's surprisingly hard to write simple code. Any idjit can come up with Rube Goldberg code.
Admittedly I don't have any data for this, but I think it's fair to assume that this number of 600 would go down to 10-20 or so after a quick human review of the data. So I think your estimate of 15 min per "hit" is wildly overstating things.

And again I don't think you're asking the right question to begin with. There is a whole separate argument to be had about whether we as a society actually want these kinds of systems and whether we think they are worth the cost (whether they require 300 or 3000 additional officers). But this system is being developed under the assumption that people do think it's worth it, and it does a pretty good job of making it a lot cheaper than it would otherwise be. I wouldn't call that a failure.

As a side-note, I would imagine this would not actually be used routinely in every single station, at least not in the beginning. You could only activate it when needed to catch very high-profile criminal. For example after the attack on the Berlin Christmas market the terrorist managed to travel all the way to Italy (?) before being stopped. If the German police could have fed his photo to this system that would have been extremely helpful, even if it would have meant a couple hundred officers having to review photos for a day.
So ... a fax-plotter. Awesome.
>> Also if a women gets an education her fertility drops and the more education the lower the fertility. This means uneducated women (for whatever reason, religious or other) will inherit the earth. If educated women tend to be those with more genetic talents, and in aggregate this may be the case, then this is quite a problematic trend long term.

So is there any reason to believe that last "if" is true? Why would that be a problem anyway, as we can simply make sure schools are in good shape to educate those children, no matter the education level of their parents?
There's a form somewhere where we can put our email to be notified when we can buy the final book ? Nice project btw
The marginal cost to Cloudflare for the extra engineering, compute, and bandwidth is lower than it would be for many other organizations, and it's good marketing for the things they actually make money on.
Very nice! Perhaps you can join forces with HN. I'd love to see this idea implemented here.

By the way, would HN allow bots to post summaries?
Living in Utrecht I can say: it's amazing, going to work? 10 minutes, going to the station? 10 minutes. Basically anything is within maximum 20 minutes cycling distance. In the rare occasion I do take the car, the city is still surprisingly accessible.

The only thing I hope they will change in the future is removing motorised vehicles from the bicycle lanes, scooters/e-bikes are just too fast and break the whole flow of traffic. Seeing that scooters are already banned from the cycling lanes in Amsterdam I think it will happen soon in Utrecht.
At least to me this is completely normal. It’d be weird to put off chores. Kids are perfectly capable of entertaining themselves with occasional wrangling whilst things are getting done.
A few ways to get more free time:

- combine commuting with working out. Even if you only run 1/2 way and still have to catch a train for the second half you’ll still be getting time back.
- hire a cleaning service if you can afford it. Maybe a Roomba?
- move closer to work to reduce your commute time.
- don’t keep your phone by your bed. If you are like me you’ll waste time in the morning and evening.
- don’t make more chores for yourself than necessary. For example, you can often wear pants 2 days of the week without issue.
The maths behind long workdays is pretty simple, you have as you say around 4 hours of productive hours per day, so why do companies want you to spend 8 hours in the office? Because the more free time you have the likelier it is that you will spend those productive hours at home doing hobbies! Therefore the goal of long work hours is to prevent you from having a life which could get in the way of work.

Or from another angle, a person who voluntarily works 45 hour weeks likely spends most of his productive hours at the office. A person who do 35 hour weeks likely spends most of his productive hours at home. A person who is forced to work 80 hour weeks will definitely spend most of his productive hours at the office since he has no time left for anything else. It might hurt his overall productivity, but it at least guarantees that the company gets his all.
It depends heavenly on what you want to do.

Sports are great, but you're never gonna get most people exercising that way. Most people will consistently exercise, over the long term, only if it's a necessity: like for their job, or for transportation.

It really has to be built into one's daily routine. The Netherlands is a great example here, they have very high rates of active transportation (walking/biking) for the developed world.

As far as i understand Denmark didn't really have a choice. Either it was sold or it would have been taken.

An important detail of the sale was that in the agreement for buying the islands, it was actually written down for the first time that Greenland was part of Danish territory.

So if the virgin Islands hadn't been sold Denmark's claim to Greenland probably wouldn't have held until today.
The fires did by far the majority of the damage.

The point is not to make a choice but to be informed about how the industry is somehow tied together in interesting ways. I would also add that many of these VPN services turn your machine into a drone where you knowingly or unknowingly enter into a contract so that they can sell your bandwidth to paying customers to provide them with randomized IP pools so that they can scrape amazon and alibaba.
