You blame it in birth control, but I see it as a totally rational and emotional response to an unbelievably high cost of living.

People can't afford kids. Not enough time, not enough income, even hiring help is out of most people's budget.

People are being squeezed and the middle class is shrinking. No wonder they don't want kids whose lives will be worse than their own.
Just realized I made a mistake, vt doesn't write text to cons, it renders the text itself though grabs keyboard input from cons. It's a graphical program in that sense as it has to also handle color text in xterm mode in addition to providing an addressable cursor.
Yeah, a classic word formation pattern of using only a (visual) feature of an object to name and distinguish it. EtymOnline's explanation makes the connection even more direct:

> from Latin album, which in classical times was a board chalked or painted white, upon which public notices (the Annales Maximi, edicts of the praetor, lists of senators, etc.) were inscribed in black, hence "a list of names." This Latin word was revived 16c. by German scholars, whose custom was to keep an album amicorum of colleagues' signatures; its meaning then expanded to "book with blank leaves meant to collect signatures and other souvenirs."

> Latin album is literally "white color, whiteness;" it is a noun use of the neuter of the adjective albus "white"

Our own profession is next. If GPT-2 can work wonders with human language, something like it will do even better with the regular and systematic language of code. We're living in this unstable era between ML systems becoming powerful enough to perform complex intellectual tasks and these ML systems replacing humans in the performance of these complex intellectual tasks. Get it while the getting is good, because it won't last.

I don't remember having met someone meaningful in my life over social media only. Unless you count instant messaging.

Yes, the usual places are school, university and work. Church and other similar voluntary-non-religious activities are great too. I also used to attend open source conferences regulary and have several meaningful friends from those conferences, and we keep in touch mainly through instant messaging, not through facebook or instagram. Does that count?

You don't have to go through the complete search space if it turns out optimal strategies are sparse. What do I mean by that? Take a second-price auction: the dominant strategy here is to always bid your true value. Meanwhile, the search space for this would be any real number in between 0 and your true value. What does this mean for computational games like Chess or Go? It may mean while the search space is exponential, there may exist computationally trivial strategies that work. I would compare this to Kolmogorov complexity, except instead of having a program as your output, it's a strategy.

What was making the build take so long in the first place?
It depends on why you care about the distinction. If you're talking from a purely privacy perspective, the important questions are (1) are you taking analytics? (2) what are you doing with them? (3) is that in line with users' expectations?

Third party, or third party disguised as first party, is only problematic because of an implied "there's very little keeping the third party from using your data for things that aren't just analytics for the first party." It's the red flag for "this site may not be using your data the way you would want it to."

Third party ad trackers disguised as first party cookies specifically violate the general assumption that first party data stays first party, because those third parties have specific mechanisms to track you across multiple first parties.
As engineering orgs are usually so bad that they consistently have a years' work "to do" regardless of actual usefulness or business need.

The opposite problem of people without the drive to find work to do is people driven to constantly change or improve things without clear ideas about why it needs to be done or if it is justifiable. Repeat for a few years and your product is a mish-mash of half completed upgrades held together with twine and yet another rehash in planning to finally fix it all.

Has the potential to ... but in practice, no. Websites which do this overwhelmingly use "best practices" frameworks, libraries, packers, minifiers, and up with an extremely dense 1 MiB javascript bundle, while the meaningful html/text of the page is less than 10 KiB. Images are bigger but the need to load / ability to cache is the same in either situation. And be careful that your api responses are not huge json blobs with more information than the page needs ...

Modern webpages use all the latest best techniques, and lose the performance race by miles, over and over again. Nobody is interested or enabled to clean up the mess, just to try to add more big-bang optimizations on top, after we get a few more features which users hate crammed on top ...

The truth is we had the technology for extremely efficient computation 10 years ago. New technology is nice, I like it, but we don't need it. But also, it doesn't matter. Simple gluttony and sloth will overwhelm any efficiency improvements.

There's less than a million police in the US.

More than half of them are desk/bureaucracy bound. It's probably more like 3/4 of them, not to mention many of them will favor the gun owners, but let's be generous to the opposing argument and suppose all active street duty cops were in on it.

So you are saying each police officer is going to arrest and remove weapons from 10 people scattered across millions of square miles. They will also need to ostensibly put those 5.5 million 'bad Americans' somewhere. We don't even have jails for that many people. You'd need literally a few million guards just to keep them. And that's just NRA members. There's many more gun owners than there are NRA members.

Have you been in the US? Do you understand how insanely unrealistic this is?

Lists are great when the people you want to hurt are small in number and weak in force. Neither applies here.

A tyrant dictator could send the army, but again, way outnumbered. Not to mention how big the USA is, how rugged the terrain can be, and how well acquainted the locals are. Even just rounding people up is super hard when people WANT to cooperate (look at our response to natural disasters)

The tyrant dictator can take over with tanks, no doubt. But then they would face a long, protracted guerrilla war with all freedom loving Americans. If Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, the founding of the USA, etc have taught us anything, is that you can conquer, but holding a territory is a whole other ball game. And holding is where it's at.

The reason brains work the way they do is because evolution hill climbed to a solution, not because that solution is globally optimal. Compared to silicon, neurons are absurdly slow. Axons transmit information at 100 meters per second. Electronics transmit information 3,000,000 times faster. When your switching speed is 100Hz, the only way to get anything done in a reasonable amount of time is to be massively parallel. That's why brains are the way they are.

Other points of comparison: Animal wings (birds, insects, bats) combine both lift and thrust, but we don't fly around in ornithopters. And while animal legs combine support and power for locomotion, we don't drive around in vehicles with legs. Wheels are far more efficient, but they're not something that evolution can discover easily.

I called their argument shitty, not them personally. I stand by my statement.
The reason why you feel this way is because there is a large difference between value† as defined by markets (which I'm writing with a dagger †) and value as defined by everyone else (which I'm writing without a dagger). Value† is weighted by wealth. Value is not. Feeding a starving African village generates value, but feeding a starving African village does not generate value†, because the village has no money. Figuring out how to monopolize the telecom industry generates value†, because it benefits heavily-weighted interests while only penalizing lightly-weighted interests, but it does not generate value.

Markets promote value† creation, but they don't promote value creation, except insofar as the two concepts coincide. It is instructive to think about the circumstances under which the two concepts coincide, the extent to which those circumstances hold, and the extent to which we are moving towards or away from those circumstances.

The majority of the linked document details the purpose of the system. As far as worthwhile it's pretty clear that Rhixomatica and the villages in Oaxaca think it's useful:

"The solution we are implementing is inspired by the actual social and physical structure that we aim to service: each village in Oaxaca has their own fully independent core network stack, and each community is fully in charge of their own infrastructure. There is no central authority governing across communities, by deliberate choice. Because the infrastructure is operated in remote rural areas, often from a pole on a hill crest running on solar panels, and with directional wifi over large distances, network links between villages can be unstable."

Wrong point. The issue is teenage pregnancy.

Teenage pregnancy has lots of outcomes--almost all negative.

The female body really often isn't ready for pregnancy that early (women used to have menarche much later than currently)--this causes long-term health problems with both mother and child. Teenage mothers rarely have the resources to care for children well--this traps the mother and the child in a poor socioeconomic situation and affects their long-term health and development. etc.

Yes, there are women who tolerate pregnancy just fine as teenagers. Yes, there are teenagers with resources who can take care of children and not have it affect their life. Those are the exceptions, not the rule.

I don't want your salient comment to fall to the bottom in a discussion about food trucks and mall food. Your point is far more important than that stuff. I really do think that America is turning into Russia (oligarch control of mass media , hopelessness, alcoholism/drug abuse, propaganda everywhere, instability and un- and under-employment), and that Russia is turning into America (inheriting the worst aspects: mass consumer culture, little public participation in civil society, obsessed with social media, media conglomerates complicit with the government, money over everything else. The only other person I've seen make that argument is Max Keiser, whose show, ironically, is broadcast on RT.

I agree with your hypothesis is that lack of dynamism in society is caused by economic insecurity. And I, too, have many friends who do nothing but work, play games, and drink (not that I don't do these things myself). I don't know where this is all going, but I don't like it.

> Also, the infrastructure has improved significantly since the Russian takeover (unfortunately Ukraine being poor, neglected the peninsula after the collapse of the USSR) so getting around is easier now.

Ukraine, after Soviet Union crumbled was always under the foot of Russian Federation. It is the poorest performer of any country which became independent after Soviet occupation. It never managed to properly "westernize", because Russian influence and bullying was strong. Russian cronies in the government and Crimea was literally a Russian naval base. Due to strong influence from the East, eastern Ukraine population was mentally stuck in the "good old Soviet times".

After Maidan in 2014 and Russian friendly Ukrainian president was toppled for dropping trade agreements from EU, Putin clearly saw that he may lose control of the naval bases to the Black Sea, so decided to take Crimea by power.

Crimea to Russia right now is just propaganda to push agenda for the rest of Ukraine and to the Russians as well (oh look how great you'll live in the Mother Russia). Most of the Russia except for Moscow and St. Petersburg is in pretty poor and rough state.

P.S. sorry for my English. Non native speaker. Also opinion is mine and speaking from my memory, if I am not correct please correct me.

I am talking as a person whose country was at the same position as Ukraine 30 years ago, but now average Joe is economically 5-10 times better than average Ukrainian. Ukraine is poor because it's 20-30 years late to free itself from Soviet/Russian shambles.

Edit: also I want to add that for Russia this stunt did cost huge amounts from cash reserves and rubble have lost half of it's value which has not recovered to this day, which made locals "very happy".
