The fundamental unaddressed issue in our society is that having children is treated as something that's optional, a luxury, and even though the society fundamentally depends on its constituents procreating, we continue to pretend that having children is not a necessary part of one's life. Which is true individually, but not true on the macro level.

Anecdotally, observing my own family and that of my (mostly well-off STEM) social circle, I can tell you that this is when women really take a hit career-wise. What's less obvious in the graphs is that many of them take it deliberately, and _choose_ to focus on things other than career. This, ironically, puts pressure on men to provide, and compete in the workplace. I know it put pressure on me like you wouldn't believe - we "settled", got a mortgage, monthly expenses went through the roof. I've roughly tripled my earnings between the time my son was born and his 10th birthday. It came at a tremendous personal cost - I basically didn't have a life for a decade, and our marriage nearly fell apart. I like where we are today, though, thanks to all that effort. My wife took a couple of years off work, and did not aim for a quick career progression afterwards, preferring lower stress and more family time. Was my career progression done at the expense of someone less motivated at work? Quite likely, yes. Was it worth it to my family? It was, although there were many times when I was in doubt about that.

This is something the workforce percentage graphs do not communicate at all.
The advice I've read is not necessarily to go for a walk outside, but to do something more low-key: wash some dishes, read a book, or simply sit quietly for twenty minutes.

Especially if you feel "tired" but not "sleepy" -- although these can be hard to distinguish.

This is recommended (by expert researchers, on the basis of experiment) as part of a cure for chronic long-term insomnia. Like many cures, it can be a bit arduous at first. I haven't seen it recommended for short-term insomnia, especially when there is some causal factor like starting a new job.
"Omphalos", by Philip Gosse, is an interesting and bemusing footnote to the battle between creationism and evolution. It took a similar idea extremely seriously and to great lengths, in order to explain away fossil and other geological evidence, but earned its author nothing but ridicule, even from those nominally on his side:

Yeah... I'm not sure a lot of native speakers would agree. Here's a great example of using Google Translate to automatically translate a video game.

I'm not so sure about that one either.

I think we're in the valley that AI can do a lot of things, but are hitting limits in accuracy where humans are still better at some of these things sometimes. That is, the AI isn't always better than humans, even at a specific, non-general task.

Now don't get me wrong, we've made a lot of progress, but I wonder if we can get these things to a place better than humans before the next economic recession. I think the biggest risk to AI is having the money dry up. Right now the hype is strong and the money is (nearly) free. If one of those changes, we could put this back on the shelf for another decade. If we go into a recession, labor will be cheap, so why bother automating with AI?

For example, we had self driving freeway cars back in the 90's.[0][1] Here's one of the lessons learned:

Just to be clear: I don't find such pricing models customer friendly, and this is just an example of how some companies manage to find their path in such a "brutal low-margin industry". Since shared hosting – just like VPN – is a commodity product, they primarily focus on marketing, sales, and support.

> There's no need to flame people for running their open-source project the way they want to run it. You can just not use the code.

Also, you can change your copy of it to work the way you want, and if you decide to share it, other people can choose to use your version if they like it better. You don't have to bully other people to get your needs meet, individually or collectively. These are among the core benefits of open source.

Probably in this case most people would have ended up using the less-unsafe fork of the project, and the original author would have tried harder to extract the potential performance benefits of his more-unsafe version, while both groups constantly learned from one another. Everyone would have benefited.

I've written a bit about the history of some such friendly forks at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22080672
In that case, then I think it would be reasonable to criticize them. Although, it still seems to me that it wouldn't hurt to put something in the law that specifically says that they won't build giant tower blocks.
An argument could be made both ways, but I wish people stopped quoting licenses to resolve social issues.

For example, the license does not forbid the user of the software from INSINUATING THAT THE AUTHOR OF THE SOFTWARE IS INCOMPETENT, OR UNFIT TO AUTHOR ANY SOFTWARE, EITHER IN A PARTICULAR LANGUAGE OF THEIR CHOICE, OR IN GENERAL. So one can almost say that anyone who's doing it is exercising their right granted by license.

...But that kind of argument is not really helpful, isn't it? The question is whether some behavior is socially acceptable. License doesn't enter the question.

(BTW, of course I don't support the kind of behavior I endorsed(?) above.)
You aren't wrong that there is nuance required.

On the other hand 'trickle down economics' has been pretty categorically debunked by reality; it can't not be about money entirely either.

So it isn't all about money, but if the monetary gains of increased productivity are captured by a shrinking fraction of the population, nothing good happens in the long run.
You’re setting yourself up for some future and potentially hard to introspect problems for yourself and your users with this setup. There are good reasons to keep those endpoints separate. As an example, the anycast solution you’ll rely on on that host, while great for short lived tcp sessions (https) will be problematic for your long lived sessions (ssh) which will be disconnected during routing changes in cloudflares network - ddos or operational changes. That is unless you establish sub flows for those sessions using a unicast IP address but now you’re accumulating additional complexity for the sake of wanting it all on a single hostname.
And if you look at the reviews they reference a different product or are too generic to be taken seriously. Amazon has allowed this to happen on a big scale. I personally avoid Amazon now.

Focusing on one company, pop sockets, isn't the point of the inquiries. Its to see if there is a pattern of behavior that indicates anti competitive behavior. If it happens to one or two, it's probably and industry killing epidemic.

This is becoming ad nauseum. You're missing the point about how the law applies differently to company policy and actions, but my guess is that you desperately want them to be the same hence your repeated arguments and confirmation bias. The lawyer blogs you and another commenter linked to are trying to sell services to sue employers and are not valid analyses.

It doesn't help when there are insane regulations like dedicating double digit percentage of new units to be "affordable"/subsidized/section 8. Anyone with a full time minimum wage job would not qualify for "affordable" housing, you literally have to not work at all, it's such a scam.
Yeah, AWS needs to be split out. But, alas, amazon can't afford to do that because those profits are funding the rest of the company. They are extremely vulnerable as a company here and is a strategic opportunity for other cloud vendors. Just push down cloud margins and Amazon will slowly be out priced.

Without having some kind of control over prices, you are not a very viable business. Amazon is in a very fragile position.

Honestly, I have no idea why government is getting involved here. Let the market eat them.

There is no explicitly agreed upon objective function for humanity. However there is kind of a default one baked into our DNA and it's the desire to reproduce and see our offspring reproduce.

Modern society is conflicted however because enlightenment philosophy, which is baked into everything, as well as some Eastern traditions teaches us that knowledge or enlightenment is the highest virtue.

So when it comes to agreeing on how to align society from the perspective of governance, time allocation, what to promote socially etc.. we have this existential crisis where people try to saddle the fence between reproduction (aka "family") and enlightenment style "progress."

I think I prefer our largely clan free 'society.' The vast bulk of these scammers are the dregs of our species and could be effectively thwarted with fairly simple policies. Limiting gift cards to domestic redemption, for example. No need to re-engineer everything around some sociologic noble savage fantasy.

Plenty of developers will benefit from Vulkan without mastering it. I presume they already have.
That's amazing. It's clearly a scam and it's been going on for almost 1 year. This really hurts Amazon's credibility and can't be good for them in the long-term. It doesn't seem rational at all.

Watson has been an IBM hype-brand for a decade. It is finally getting to the point that it can reliably achieve some parts of what I was sold on back in 2012.
It's because anyone who tries to point out holes in the claims gets demonized with a label (denier) and loses all grants and funding. Even IPCC (and therefore UN) no longer provides grants to anyone who points out skepticism.

> In honor of the late AUGIE AUER, Professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Wyoming, Chief Meteorologist for the MetService, co-founder of the NZ Climate Science Coalition and much-loved scientist of the highest integrity, members of the Coalition have established a fund now totaling $10,000 to be granted to the first applicant to present real-world evidence showing that the man-made fraction of airborne carbon dioxide causes dangerous global warming. Professor Augie Auer was appalled that climate scientists should be denied funding and be branded ‘deniers’ unless they submitted to the political global warming narrative and renounced the ancient principle that science is never settled. Those refusing the NZCSC’s request for evidence of dangerous man-made global warming include the IPCC, the Royal Society, the Royal Society of New Zealand, the NZ Ministry for the Environment and Professor James Renwick. To the first person who proves what they cannot, we offer this prize in the name of our late, incorruptible colleague.

So far, no one has been able to win it.
You're cherry picking the statement by quoting it out of context, which shows the law only applies to one (coercion):

> No employer shall coerce or influence or attempt to coerce or influence his employees through or by means of threat of discharge or loss of employment to adopt or follow or refrain from adopting or following any particular course or line of political action or political activity.

You also dodged the question.
Another take is that Panasonic’s GF1 venture isn’t very profitable, so they’re unwilling to do more with Tesla. They may expand production, but only at a moderate pace and only after seeing sustained demand. That’s why Tesla is abandoning them for China.
They should and sometimes do.

I read a study (from Rutgers I believe) about men who scale back on work to care for children. The conclusion was that while women are more likely to incur a “parent penalty”, this is partly explained by e fact that many men simply don’t scale back. The comparatively small number of men who do take time off or scale back to care for children face unusually severe career penalties for it. Some ideas explored were penalties for violating gender norms. Employers penalize women but in the end kind of expected this. When the men do it employers treat it as a kind of misrepresentation of intent and respond punitively.

I know a cite would be particularly helpful here, I’ll try to dig it up.
in my experience, it's more about trying to keep your IP space clean for the rest of your customers and bandwidth. You either get your IP space blacklisted or some idiot starts burning 1Gbps on ssh attempts and you start getting abuse email from the .mil space which is awkward. Plus, you gotta pay for the bandwidth.

That 5/mo customer is much more likely to disappear than pay for the data they used.
A typical Soviet IC part is 134ЛБ2. The 134 indicates the TTL family. The Л (L) indicates it's a logic gate IC and ЛБ indicates it's a NAND/NOR. If you know the categories, you know what more or less what the IC does.

A typical US IC part is 7490. 74 indicates the TTL family. But the 90 is arbitrary. The 7490 is a counter but 7491 is a shift register. The part number doesn't give you any idea what the IC does.

This is a good opportunity to recommend Sennheiser PXC 550. They allow you to customize noise cancellation to your liking. There are other good things about them, and after trying Bose QC35 and PXC 550 for about a week, it wasn't a difficult decision to make. I've had them for >2 years now.
The base was 230k which in retrospective is not really killer for this area. In hindsight I should have known that this was an unreasonable salary for the size of the company and its stage, and so it was kind of a red herring.

Suffice to say I won't ever make this mistake again.
The Sony XM3s are an awesome piece of hardware. The noise cancellation is top notch, the ear cups are the most comfortable and large enough to not put too much pressure (specially for folks like me who wear specs) and are extremely lightweight with ample cushioning.

Best 25k INR (was around 30% of my monthly salary == monthly rent) I ever spent.
In my original comment I pointed that out:

So far, I haven't read any valid reasoning on why this happened out of nowhere.
Have you been to the US? "Workers" here do not "buy larger houses", we rent tiny apartments when we can and live in our cars/streets/friends couches/wherever we can otherwise. "Premium phones" are irrelevant, the difference between a new iPhone and an Android is maybe 1 week of rent.

If you're in the US and your problems are vacation time, "buy[ing] larger houses", etc., you're not in a position to even get tips. You would be in a privileged class of educated workers with a perfectly fine quality of living.

We're talking about the average US worker. This person has never taken a vacation in their life because they've never been in a position to. They take what they can get, which in the case of the gig economy is often well below minimum wage. If they have a roof over their head it's likely only by the grace of a wealthier family member. This person works their ass off performing the unskilled labor that makes our world go round and they get treated like a criminal for it.
the "automatic" adjective is what the problem is. i had the exact same experience. i expect an "automatic" refund. i had to search my order, and notice the comment, as if the refund is optional. any other companies would have issued the refund without asking if i really want it, and hoping i will not check the order and notice the question

It's partly biological but there are still many existing cultural attitudes that discourage husbands from performining traditionally "feminine" roles/tasks when caring for their kids.

The author's point about being over-critical of sexism is well-taken, but by reducing the sexist attitudes towards, for example, stay-at-home dads, it may be possible to help more women in STEM have fully productive careers.
I recall the relocation agent I was setup with when hubting apartments in SF..

She was freelancing and looking forward to Obamacare -- having not had healthcare in 15 years.

I took note of that, because to me not having health insurance seemed completely unreasonable. I almost left the continent when HR tried to convince me I should trust "retroactive" insurance -- and I would get the policy after 30 days, lol.. maybe in just paranoid :)
While this may or may not be true, it's irrelevant to the use of “unsafe” code in Rust. Rust doesn't attempt a compile-time guarantee that your code is simple or bug-free. It attempts to guarantee that mutable aliasing, use-after-free, double free, and resource leaks don't happen. No wire protocol requires such things or is even relevant to them.
Good to know, thanks. I didn't think they'd charge that fast.

For all the other commenters asking, I do have noise canceling headphones right now and yes they last for > 20 hours so it's not a concern unless I forget to charge them because I'm an idiot.
