I don't believe the cause has been definitely described. Education plays a part, the transition to a service economy plays a part, perhaps even video games play a part. I do believe that it's clear that labor force participation among males has been declining in past decades while the number of folks incarcerated has risen and that there is no doubt a relation between the two.
Well, if the headline is clickbait, the policy here is to change it to something that reflects the actual content of the article, rather than just parroting the clickbait. Whether that is what was done in the case of this particular article, I can't say.
I'm unsure how you came to the conclusion about the reviews being fake. Is there more information on this?
Our policies should be driven by the desire to improve society, and we should not be afraid to trial/measure policy ideas that might go against our intuition to accomplish this goal. Policy based on emotions, extreme anger, etc. generally turn out horribly and end up causing more problems than they solve.

The fact that this lie -- "Shah was installed in `53 coup overthrowing the democratically elected Mossadegh" -- is insistently propagated by Western and Iranian propaganda machines is a very distinct clue. (Same can be said by the embrace of MKO cult by the likes of Bolton, Guilliani, and the rest of that gang. They never ever say even a single positive word about the late Shah of Iran. Verboten!)

Even wikipedia admits that:

"A referendum on the dissolution of Parliament, the first referendum ever held in Iran, was held in August 1953. The dissolution was approved by more than 99% of voters."

"99% of voters". This was the coup of Dr. Mossadegh and that ridiculous number is exhibit A.

"The balloting was not secret and there were two separate voting booths, i.e. the opponents of Mossadegh had to cast their vote in a separate tent.[7][1] Critics pointed that the referendum had ignored the democratic demand for secret ballots."

Sounds democratic to me. (Actually reminds me of the referendum of Ayatollah Khomeini -- I remember it vividly. I went with my uncle to the polling station. Two boxes in the room, clearly marked for and against, with dear "brothers" from the Komiteh with the G3s assault rifles slung over their shoulders watching over the process.)

Care to guess how many of those who virtue signal by bringing up '53 are aware of the "democratically elected" Dr. Mossadegh's "emergency powers"?

Even fewer know that the good Dr. was a member of the aristocracy of the deposed and despised Qajar dynasty.

Of course non-Iranians are welcome to their opinions, but it is entirely reassuring to this former Iranian that "Pahlavi" has become the rallying cry of Iranian youth.

It's not just teens.
I’m not a professional academic, but I’m reading that sentence the same way you are.

It sounds like the conclusion here is that not ever being in a relationship by your late twenties AND having a high intelligence predicts childlessness. For that to be interesting/worth mentioning, I would assume not being in a relationship by your late twenties and having mid level intelligence does NOT predict childlessness, or at least not as strongly.

I’m guilty of jumping straight to the comments after not reading the article, however, so there might be more details either supporting/refuting that conclusion that I’m missing, I’m just going off of your quote.
Yeah, that must be it. I mean "versatile", which is a feature not everyone needs, not even a majority, but a large enough proportion of the market as to be relevant (especially since the remaining share of the market depends on those that need this versatility, because without content creators - a prime group requiring versatile computing devices - there's no content for those that don't need this versatility because they mostly consume).

Regardless of the legitimacy of the app, it is unwise to be dependent on Google for your entire infrastructure. They do and have shutdown entire accounts with no information, feedback or appeals.

I'm overly dependent on them currently myself.

We had a recent issue in accounting where an unaccounted for charge kept hitting billing from Google LLC. As we use and sell Google Suite, run a few million in Google ads and have limited cloud services we assumed the error was on our side. I audit all google ads looking for appropriate matches and then call Google Ad support, which was helpful and able to confirm the charges were not in any way related to Ads ( billing prefix suggested it was not but frequency aligned with how ads bill so was the most likely candidate)

They could not tell us what it was for or what "google llc" is

A google search for the prefix identified it as what is used for Google Play.

That is the one service that has no legitimate uses on our corporate card.

Contacting Google play about the charges and asking for clarification and disputing was not difficult.

They have an internal review period. I think 5-7 days, the review came back as. Legitimate charges. Ok, what for? They can't tell us.

What?

These were multiple charges of $500 adding up to nearly 5k in a month, but they can't match the charge to a service?

And with several million in yearly spending with Google, one would hope for a little more response time and explanation, but, that's chump change to them.

I will still be using every service, but I definitely would invite some alternatives as It is unwise to depend on Google for anything.
> I think ideally this is the path that should be encouraged for inmates. We already spend so much feeding and housing them, what's more to try to educate them some more?

Part of the problem, in my opinion (which may be wrong; this is just how I view it), is that our penal system focuses on punitive measures rather than rehabilitative.

It's the same for drug addicts. While rehabilitation might be most costly upfront, the reduced risk of repeat offenses would almost certainly pay for itself, not to mention the related drop in crime stemming from such activities. I recognize it's not perfect, but it's certainly better than throwing otherwise non-violent offenders into jail with no hope and no help.
It looks like you wanted to do OSS but you soon realised that there is potentially good money to be made in commercial software. Your company also spent all the years building a good product but the money bug bit you and you started charging exorbitant prices. The greed kicked in. And now you are whinging because MS came and ate your cake.

Please don't get me wrong on this, making money is the reason why we live in a world which has all these amazing things. But it is a jungle and survival matters here.

My point is that to make any connection between plant based diet and health you need to be more specific. You can eat balanced meals with fresh vegetables and good ingredients or you can eat pretzels or potato chips the whole day and drink soda. Both are plant based but the outcome will probably be different.
> To a degree they are one and the same though. The government still requires the consent of the governed.

This is decidedly untrue. Venezuela, North Korea, and many other counterexamples exist.

Repressive dictatorships do not require consent of the governed. They leverage their monopoly on violence and control. Quite literally, the first item on their agenda while forming is to disarm their populace.

This way, non-consensual governance is easier. No people demanding rights and freedoms, backed up by their ability to impose their will through force of arms. Put another way, they would be able to challenge the monopoly on violence that the (repressive) government holds.

Curiously, this is why the US bill of rights, is so important in guaranteeing freedom. The consent is given, up until the government decides to try to take rights away. Then consent is withdrawn.
Acidification is the correct term to refer to something becoming more acidic (or "less basic" if you prefer). It doesn't mean that something has a pH below 7.

pH is directly related to the concentration of H+ ions in solution, which is equivalent to being inversely correlated with the concentration of OH- ions in solution (a reduction in OH- ion concentration means a relative increase in H+ ion concentration).
The message queue is user-space abstraction relevant to the GUI subsystem and not something that is inherent to Win32 threading model. And in fact its implicit existence is source of completely unique Win32 class of hard to debug threading bugs.

Edit: on the other hand Win32 has one really nice feature: you can WaitForMultipleObjects() on essentially anything that has kernel handle, which includes most of IPC primitives. On the other hand this causes the native Win32 IPC to have significant overhead and is the reason why game developers often resort to userspace spin-locks and why Windows 10 had introduced NPTL/Linux-style lightweight futex-based mutexes...
Pentoo has done so for years, if not since its existence. I've been using Pentoo for years, mainly because I like Gentoo, but also because everything has always run as root in Kali, which was always a major drawback for me.
In terms of mass-market success, goodness of recommendations is like, #12 on the list of must-have features for a (streaming) music service.

#1 is "It must have all of the music", which is really a lawyer problem, not an engineering problem.

(#2-#11 are just variations of "No no, I mean all the music", "Does it have really old music, like X?" "What about really niche music like Y?" "Oh, oh, what about Z? I bet it doesn't have Z.")

This is pretty much exactly the kind of robust system architecture that Erlang advocates employ.

In embedded systems, our kernels and threads are lightweight enough that we can go very fine-grained without paying a steep context-switching penalty. I'm not convinced that the penalty in Linux is all that high, either. Its only when you're going after the C10K (or C1M?) problem that you start to notice.

Re: "Webforms is entirely dead in 2020. There's no support in .NET 5."

Deprecated, yes, dead no. MS announced no plans to stop basic maintenance. Even ASP Classic still runs on IIS (upon configuration adjustments). I'm not necessarily saying using deprecated products is "good", only that Web Forms programmers seem to get more done in average for typical custom CRUD apps. It looks like productivity is being shot in the head to keep Future Compliant.

Re: "and web standards/best practices continue to show MVC better aligned with today's standards and performance than Webforms ever could be."

What is "better aligned with..." exactly? I'm not claiming Web Forms is "web scale". I'm just saying use a Chevy instead of Maserati if you don't actually need a Maserati because Maserati's are expensive and high maintenance. Too many want to stick every buzzword in their stack to keep their resume HR-bot-match-compatible. It's fraud in my opinion.

I would note the needs of CRUD are different than the needs of "web" in the CMS-ish sense. MS stacks of late seem to try to cater to both, and it makes for unnecessary complexity. I think they should split and have a CRUD-friendly stack different from a CMS-ish stack.

As somebody with broad interests, I've long been fascinated by what it means to be a "generalist" and understanding when a wide, varied skillset is an advantage over a hyper-narrow one.

I've been reading about this for years and recently started sending out short summaries of what I've learned (typically geared at how the lessons can by applied practically).

Last week I shared how Nobel laureates are 22 times more likely to have a side hobby as a performer than their peers.

Ultimately, I am trying to land on a succinct answer to "how do you channel broad interests and talents into an impactful career?"

There's lots of shared state, every flop is shared state, and mostly here I'm talking about synchronous parallelism in pipelines - yes we do have to deal with metastability too, and that's a whole other level of evil so that people avoid it where possible and spent lots of brainpower mitigating it (metastability is so evil you can't completely make it go away, just make it extremely unlikely).

Go is sort of like saying "we're not going to deal with parallelism directly, just throw everything into fifos to talk to other places" mostly you can't afford to waste gates like that in real hardware (there are places where it makes sense - I've built a lot of display controllers).

I think the big difference is the way you end up thinking about time and timing holes in code (dealing with interrupts), after building gates for a while i think you tend to see the timing holes more easily

>That is the standard I use and I do apply the same critique to every company.

Then why are you on HN? They could be collecting your IP and data on you.

>First off, I don't use all of those services. According to your logic, you and every other person who has data in their system and is not using a service is owed cold hard cash.

The only data that exists for people that don't use services is 3p tracking data, which is from people visiting websites, that are supported by ads. So yes, if you view content on a website and a tracking cookie or pixel records you, that is you using the website, and the advertiser is paying the host for this which allows the host to continue hosing the website.

> These companies are making EXORBITANT amounts of money off of peoples data

Whoa, this is like almost a communism argument. Dictating how much money anyone should make is not a good road to go down on. There is nothing wrong with companies generating profit, they are capitalizing on supply versus demand.

This reminds me of an experience I had in the UK that was not pure joy. I paid using their website, and as soon as I saw the payment confirmation appear, closed the web browser. Well, whatever tech they were using must have sent the internal “they paid” message on a hit from the confirmation page. So, the money came out of my account but their systems didn’t track it. It took quite a few weeks of back and forth to get my double payment back.
That many crashes is indicative of a hardware issue.

I simply cite RWLS as an example of how you can combine other primitives into the threading model afforded by TPL without much frustration. I make no claims that it somehow eliminates fundamental concerns like shared state. In practice, I use RWLS extremely rarely because I prefer to avoid shared mutable state in the first place. I will spend an entire weekend reworking architecture in order to get a lock out of a hot path if I need to. 99% of my task-related code is boring stuff like:

var session = await _connection.QueryFirstAsync<Session>(GetSessionSql, some session token);

The biggest concern for me is simply the thread lifecycle and # of threads involved. TPL handles a thread pool for you and automatically schedules Tasks to run on these threads as appropriate. This is a non-trivial affair which would be painful to re-implement consistently and reliably in each application. I, for one, would be far too tempted to waste entire days screwing with thread pool parameters relative to environmental factors. With TPL hiding these things from me, I can focus on a level of abstraction that actually gets business features shipped. I still have not run into a scenario where I would have rather gotten my hands dirty and implemented the raw threads myself. Microsoft did a pretty damn good job. Everything "just works" and it scales very well.
Spotify was a hassle when I tried to sign up for an account (I don't recall exactly, it's been a few months, but some sort of technical glitch), and I didn't have enough desire to chase it down just so I could give them my money. So I've stuck with Apple Music because I can't justify to myself or my wife (we have a family plan) how Spotify would be an improvement. I was willing to try it out because my Tesla has a built-in player for Spotify, but I've just been using the Tesla streaming instead (when not Apple Music) and I'm happy with it.

>> The editors and the organization are the same thing. The organization sets policy and culture, and editors do all of the actual work.

I don't think this is correct. Policy and culture are mostly bottom-up from the editors, and the foundation has no hard power except for extreme cases like banning outright harassers.

In addition, withholding money from the foundation does not cause any pressure at all to editors because they never get paid from that money anyway.

>> Diversity and equality don't cost money

Sure, but so far most of the efforts to improve diversity seem to come from the foundation rather than the editors, so punishing the foundation seems like the wrong option.
