> You can view this as the result of the emancipation of women

Or you can view this as a result of men treating their wives like their caretakers.

For all the problems the US has, one very good thing it has going for it is that, in many (most?) social circles, it is expected that men will help out and support their wives and families beyond just earning a paycheck. This chart comes from a study that shows how men do about twice as much housework as they did in 1976, while women do less: https://www.nsf.gov/news/mmg/media/images/housework2_h.jpg . Many companies now give as much time for paternity leave as for maternity leave. TBH when that trend first started I didn't understand it: "But men didn't actually have the baby!" I thought. But by equalizing the time off, it takes the burden (and expectation) off the woman for doing all the childcare, with the related harm this can do to a woman's career.

robots are cheaper.
Back in my day, almost exactly 10 years ago, relatively few college freshman had significant experience coding, beyond understanding basic syntax (probably <10%). Most of the most blatantly experienced coders were bored for the first couple months and dropped the course/school to make heaps of money, not realizing understanding syntax is like 2% of Computer Science. So the people most vocal about how easy the coursework was were at a significant disadvantage in the long run.
That’s an extremely compelling reason in itself.

So then you switch to Google Music or Apple Music and keep listening. Meanwhile if your CD collection is stolen or destroyed, you have to go buy all of them again.

The first time I am hearing this term.
Yes I think I'm comfortable with that position.
It might be based on dollars.

HD probably doesn’t have anyone returning their garden soil or electric wire because it didn’t work, but will have more returns on electromechanical appliances.
GitHub is owned by Microsoft.

What pii is involved in this? There's an email address that need not apparently be your normal address. A throwaway GitHub works fine, does it not?

Many, possibly at this point most, institutions use tools like canvas, turnitin, etc. Not to mention Google docs/GAFE, or that many schools have official email provided by either google or Microsoft.
> I've been a TA and taught introductory CS courses, and IMHO trying to "add extra tech" tends to get in the way of learning more than anything else, as well as perpetuating bad habits when programming.

I don't have a good suggestion for intro classes. Basically, everything has downsides. Some people don't want to interact with a computer; some people want to do mega-cool things on the computer; some people don't understand what is going on and will be confused by any extraneous steps. Anything you do is going to consume time and displease somebody.

I can tell you that for sophomore and up CS classes in college, use real stuff. It's a pain to set up and maintain (although it might be easier nowadays), but the students will thank you for it afterward. I made my students use Eclipse and Subversion at the time (I would probably use VSCode and Mercurial nowadays) and had a continuous integration server running every time I gave an assignment. Students could use an IDE or editor other than Eclipse, but I warned them that I might not be able to help them about IDE specific things. Subversion was they way that they could "submit the code" so the continuous integration server would test it.

Even students who gave negative feedback about aspects of the class gave positive feedback about using the "real" tools and not stupid submission systems like Blackboard or its ilk. All of the students noted that they did much better interviewing for jobs than students who didn't have experience with the real tools.

Although, it was funny getting shocked responses from students who interviewed with employers that didn't use source control. Brainwash them early for best results. :)
Ikea too.

Sometimes they’ll insist you go to the store, but if you push them, they’ll mail it out.

But it’s obvious their powers that be are playing the long game, not the next quarter game.

I wonder if Public Incs like AT&T has a dial where they decrease or increase their level of support based on how that quarter is doing.

Gotta best the analysts’ estimates by a penny or else.
You silly man, the only fallible institutions worth to maintain are those which benefit the people in power. All the rest are pie-in-the-sky utopias which should never be even discussed unless you are a commie lover.well, are you?
It's the advertising market, not the companies, that are the root problem.

Go ahead and get rid of Google and Facebook and the rest overnight and all you'll do is find a new vector for advertising spring up virtually overnight.

Every ad tech company is responding to market incentives. Breaking companies up or killing them with regulation etc... won't make a dent in the long run.

Outlawing advertising as a business however will end the surveillance economy swiftly.

That doesn't mean you won't need a "not a valid object" for a type. That's why there all these Optional and Maybe constructions - you're still checking for it.
Why would it be a good business move?
On the other hand, it encourages artists to make songs worth listening to. I've purchased way too many albums because I liked one or two songs only to discover every other song on the album was complete trash. But at that point it was too late, they already had my money.

People who jump from hit to hit will always do that. Don't worry about them. People who seek new and interesting music are immensely helped by risk-free streaming.

I think the quality of life in the Nordic countries is somewhat overrated these days. It was really dependent on having a low cost of living, but now many things have been sort of left up to the market. Which means that property is quite expensive, and so is everything else. Social systems are less extensive. But there are high taxes, punitive taxes and somewhat low salaries for professionals. So the culture is sort of adapted for all this, but that only really works for those who have been grandfathered in. So regardless of the specifics it definitely isn't something to jump into without thinking. Unless you are aware and that is the idea.
True, but you have little control over the ads load and what they try do do.

Bad actors are usually flagged manually and there are typical a ton of genuine mistakes that happen (someone loads unoptimized images etc)

A AMP-like framework would catch that.
I honestly don't know. What I've said about the movements / Dolby I learned from Techmoan.com, who I assume to be reliable.
From what I've heard, scrubbing does more for killing bacteria on hands than just washing with soap, specifically doctors are advised to scrub their hands rigorously. Soap and detergents don't seem to be strong disinfectants.
And not only wages, almost every single work right has been won by sweat and blood of the organized workers. 8 hours working day, 2 days off a week, vacation time, pregnancy leave, medical insurance, etc, etc. None of them was implemented as result of the benevolence of the dominant classes.
When I was a freshman in 1995 'could program a computer' usually meant being able to write simple routines in BASIC or Pascal, not developing parallel algorithms in C for supercomputers.
It's true that the legality of unions in the US depends on an exception in antitrust law. But it's also true that corporations depend on state-backed exceptions to common law. As such, corporations were generally illegal in the US until the late 1800s.

There was an exception for corporations serving the public interest. Initially for building canals and railroads. But in the late 1800s, a series of Supreme Court opinions removed those limitations. Eventually, they got some protection under the 1st, 5th and 14th Amendments. And recently, wider protection under the 1st Amendment.

As long as we're going to allow collective action by business owners, it's only fair that we allow collective action by workers.
It was being dumped by my girlfriend while I was on LSD that started the downward spiral, but at some point I became convinced she and perhaps other people were robots and government agencies were trying to kill me, so I stopped eating and sleeping for over a week which really pushed my brain into the deep end. I made it fine taking care of myself for a few weeks after that even though I was convinced people could hear my thoughts, the songs on the radio were talking directly to me, and God was intervening directly in my life. Eventually I was walking along the middle of a 4 lane road at 4 or 5 am because I couldn't decide which side to go to and both options seemed terrible. The police picked me up and asked me where I was headed. I told them I was trying to get to the beach and they offered to drive me there, but then they took me to the hospital instead. The doctors asked me to draw a clock. I started drawing a digital clock and tried to ask what time they wanted the clock to say, but they thought I was just asking what time it was and they were expecting an analog clock so they locked me up. In the hospital they gave me Ativan which sent me even further down the hole. I have legitimate memories that still feel perfectly valid of travelling hundreds of years into the future on that crap. (In the future everyone was blasian and Google controlled the rotation of the earth to maximize solar exposure to their solar panel farms, much to the detriment of many global citizens.)

Deciding to start cheeking the Ativan and listening to the music my friend brought got me sane enough to start shaving my face, which was apparently all they needed to see. At the time of my release I was still wholeheartedly convinced that there were lizard people among us.
You can, but it’s not universal and it requires more dev effort. Also many of these services provide different ways of covering their own unique metric.
Most rental electric scooters are VERY abused.

One Chinese bike rental company lost its entire fleet in about a week, 10,000 bikes lost in less than 10 days.
It does help. Depends on the people involved.
Oops, I was brain dead. It's "prior authorization".
Too many commercials probably isn’t the main reason people cancel their cable-TV service, he said. “But it’s definitely in the top five.”

It's not the top reason I switched to Netflix (and now a couple other streaming services), but it's the top reason that keeps me from going back.

When I travel and try to watch TV in a hotel, the commercials make it unbearable, I'll burn data from my cell phone before I'd try to watch anything on TV. I'm not sure if the commercials have really gotten worse or if I've just lost my tolerance for them.

When I moved and signed up for cable internet (sadly comcast was my only choice) they offered a year of free basic cable, I declined since I knew I wouldn't watch it.
Unless you're buying some really crappy cars or bikes, they generally last for several years or decades, compared to the estimated month-6 months lifespan of e-scooters. (Bird has newer scooters coming out that are supposed to last almost a year. Almost a year. For an average of 3 rides a day.)

When you're arguing that your mode of transport is green but it only lasts a few weeks with relatively sparse usage, then the manufacturing carbon footprint is absolutely relevant. When the mode of transport lasts for decades and the manufacturing footprint is spread out amongst millions of others vehicles, the manufacturing footprint isn't very relevant.
Why is anti-union a bad thing? Couldn't resonate with the idea that union is saving workers. They are not.
Not true. Stick them to a carbon-based backbone and they become energy dense and easily-transported liquids at standard pressures and temperatures. The resulting chemicals are able to take advantage of massive existing infrastructure, too.

(This may sound somewhat on-the-nose, but one of the biggest lessons 'hydrogen-gas-is-the-future' hype has to teach is just how useful hydrocarbons are compared to any other method of chemical hydrogen use.)
My wife and I just bought the xiaomi/ninebot one, they are around 15kg but fold down fairly nicely, I won't lie and say it's ideal, but it wasn't much of a challenge getting them in and out of our apartment (which, being in HK is tiny:))
Probably not good for high temperatures or moisture, but I found cloth adhesive tape really handy, and it's gentle to the cables.

It varies from person to person. For someone who listens to a lot of different music on a regular basis, a subscription clearly makes sense. For someone who listens to music infrequently or a small number of albums, it is going to add a reoccuring expense that will quickly exceed the cost of purchasing the music.
I’d be okay if they created a cartel and governed max minutes per hour on ads. Say ten. Make up the difference with pricing.

Or just let them implode upon themselves.
Ah you mean,like Hollywood.
Also for the record, Julia has all of 0, Missing (indicating data that is uknown), Nothing (indicating data non-existence), floating point NaN (as well as +Inf and -Inf of course), and exceptions for actual errors in Base and the Standard Libary. If you need more than that, user-defined types are just as performant and relatively trivial to implement.

Not sure if you were including Julia in "science or stats languages", but there it is anyway.
You could, if you wanted an ultra-detailed comparison.

And scooters would still be found wanting. Pants and shoes can survive a few months of daily wear. With proper care, even cheapo stuff from Target/Walmart can last for years.

Right now, Bird and its competitors are struggling to get six months of lifespan out of scooters used an average of just 3 times a day.
The majority of people who still have cable like it because, 1) They are not capable or wanting to learn about streaming and the new tech, 2) Enjoy the passive background comfort of TV, which requires no additional effort to consume.

Both of these will allow increased commercials with no reduction in viewership. If you were going to cut the cord you would have done it already.
How can you make something faster than prerendered?
well. 10 years is too soon. lets say 20 years. computers have become some kind of wearable. natural language has replaced programming - people dictate their programs to machine learning systems.

Almost all jobs that physically allow it have become remote. Most people are co-living in nice places outside big cities. The institution of marriage is abandoned. Most jobs have not yet been automated - and in the ones that have been, workers have been able to find work of equal skill levels. Genetic engineering of children and artificial wombs become the norm. GEnetic modifications do happen, but very very carefully (after a number of initial failures).

When I was young I remember pay TV being marketed in Australia as "TV with no ads". It's slowly shifted to a premium content with ads model that I find hard to justify when I have access to ad free online services.

As a parent this is doubly so. I know everything my children watch and I don't want them exposed to excessive advertising. I also don't let them watch content on YouTube that has excessive advertising in the show itself. I'll gladly pay money for ad free content that is designed to both entertain and educate.
I recommend folks try out knative, which allows you to wrap up pretty much anything in a container, and deploy the container in serverless fashion. In GCP it manifests as Cloud Run, which has been great for me so far :)
> It's also needlessly dismissive to write as if everyone using Python is making a mistake.

That's true. If I start doing that, please call me out on it. From the HN Guidelines:

I'm very much not a fan of meaningful whitespace, but I use Python occasionally, and regularly help my friends who are learning it grasp this or that topic. Except where pointing them to a specific library or other tool, I've never said "You shouldn't do that in Python, do it in this other language instead".

I would say that being smart does make you more likely to be right, but overall, your rightness is not the percentage of cases in which you were right, because some bad decisions are far more (and unexpectedly) highly weighted than others when it comes to an overall outcome.

Where smart people fail is because they were "right" in a limited, seemingly appropriate context and it turns out that in a larger context, it didn't matter.
Is $250K or 300K really that much compared to the amount of work / time these people need to spend going through formal education? With the additional stress that any decisions they make could adversely impact someone's life?

I mean software developers doing significantly less work can easily make this money while working half as much right?
SW Dev working 8hrs a day can make this, whereas a doctor working probable 60-80 hours a week makes the same?
Such as when Abel Tasman explored Australia and New Zealand in 1642, but didn't find anything of interest (trade opportunities) to the rulers in Europe of the time.

If we assume that an advanced civilization will develop machine intelligence on a large scale with efficient processors and vast energy resources, it's possible that they've already fully explored the nature of worlds such as ours, and they don't have any reason to monitor them further.
I responded to your comment rather than broken windows policy, on which the consensus is not at all as solid as your tone suggests

https://cebcp.org/evidence-based-policing/what-works-in-poli...

>recent systematic review by Braga, Welsh and Schnell (2015) found that policing strategies focused on disorder overall had a statistically significant, modest impact on reducing all types of crime. This positive effect was driven by the success of place-based, problem-oriented interventions. In contrast, there was no significant overall impact of aggressive order maintenance strategies. Thus, they conclude that police can successfully reduce disorder and non-disorder crime through disorder policing efforts, but the types of strategies matter.

That was entailed in me conceding that letting these people go free would probably bump the shrink to 4%.

Now your comment was

>If you let criminals get away with breaking into someone's house and stealing things, it sends a message to other people that crime is allowed.

To which I explicitly called back to by responding

>My point is imprisoning someone to "send a message" rather than for the effect of the crime is cruel.
Thinking like this at Amazon gets you stalled at the L6 (manager 2) level. I can think of about 5 managers I've dealt with who acted like this in the past 4 years. As a senior tech person I was asked for feedback on them and gave something to the equivalent of the motivations you listed above. They were all managed out quickly.

By the time management is asking me for my opinion there is usually a worry about a person and I'm just providing data.

Also saving the company $6bn with "one wierd trick" ticks all the amamazon promo boxes and usually skyrockets you.
My experience with comcast has been extremely variable depending on where I live, and in particular, what other ISP options I have.

When I lived somewhere where the only alternative was terrible 5mbit (advertised, actually much less) AT&T DSL, they wouldn't extend any of my discounts and even when I canceled they didn't even try to stop me. They basically just told me "haha good luck, you'll be back".

When I've lived in other places where there are options like webpass or fiber, they behaved much more like you're describing.
>but the main benefit comes from AMP websites not being as shitty as regular sits.

I haven't had a single instance where I was happy with AMP. The very best scenario I've run into is that it's neutral, but most of the time it's an annoyance, because it forces me to constantly use desktop mode on my phone so I can actually get usable search results.

AMP is utter garbage. It's so bad that I switched search engines purely so I wouldn't get AMP results. I don't want a competing standard, because I want my search results to lead to the REGULAR WEBPAGE. You know, the one that actually works, unlike most AMP pages.
There are many forms of non-existence. Maybe there should be more than one NULL.
> AT&T, which bought Turner parent Time Warner Inc. last year, has said the $85-billion deal will ultimately lead to fewer commercials. The company expects to harvest valuable viewer data that leads to higher ad rates.

Or they DVR everything and fast forward through the commercials.
> I'm not sure if the commercials have really gotten worse or if I've just lost my tolerance for them.

In the same way that processed food has gotten tastier, commercials have gotten more attention grabbing. Whether that's "worse" or "better" depends on your perspective, but it's the result of a competitive marketplace.
Come up with a news aggregation service that's not necessarily Apple news to compete with news.google?

At the current rates of innovation and population growth I'd wager that our chances aren't looking too good long term anyway. Or medium term for that matter depending on how we define that.

I have far more "gifts" to pass on to friends, family, and society, than the act of impregnating someone. Does it not occur to you that my contribution to society could be more efficient that way than having children? Perhaps this is part of the innovation of which you speak?

Also, you might want to meet me before makeing any "fitting individual" judgement!
Too many commercials is like over-prescribing anti-biotics. Pretty soon, they don't work anymore. In my watching habits (I don't have a DVR), when the show I'm watchings breaks, my finger is on the remote immediately to jump to the next channel. If that is in commercial, its on to the next. If everything is in commercial (a surprisingly common situation), I'm back on the original station with the auto muted and I'm browsing the net on my iPad or reading a page or two in the book or magazine I have next to me. Or I go take a pee. Or clean some dishes in the kitchen. Anything but watch the frickin' commercial.
Barry Diller said something along the lines, that similarly to smoking, increasingly, only poor people watch commercials. The rest pays premium to get rid of them.

Considering how strongly Netflix fought against the analysts prediction that they will have to run ads, I'm quite curious where the advertisers will go once the cable is "gone".
