Sounds like you have made the right decision.
A couple of reasons:

-As people grow old, they are economically dependent upon people younger than them.

-A growing population goes hand-in-hand with a growing economy. This tends to bring prosperity to many people.

And as a bit of a tangent: The argument that a shrinking population is good for the planet and is therefore better than a growing population feels to me like an extremely pessimistic argument, and the people that I personally know that embrace it have a much less human-centric moral intuition than I do. I put a lot lot lot more worth on human happiness than that of animals, and to me it seems that a cultural disconnect from the natural act of procreation implies an unhappiness that is rooted in how cultures are run nowadays.

OpenRC is practically speaking a thin wrapper around SysVinit, not much of an upgrade if you ask me.

Oh, good point. That column was originally labeled "... turn X this year."
No Sir, you are just strawmanning here. Please do not put in my mouth (or rather in my hand) words that I did not say. My point is, that you cannot always distinguish what is hogwash and what is legit. If you refuse someone the right to speak, you give people a convenient tool to silence everybody that is inconvenient to them. Also, it's just a matter of common decendy to allow people their basic rights.

Not true. An ISP can always reroute packets where ever they want. Want to reroute from a trusted resolver to your own, which is bootstrapped over regular DNS? No problem. Client checks it? No problem, it will fallback to regular DNS.
Wait until January 2021.

But on a serious note, even though my SO and I are doing very well economically (both engineers), it's still weighs heavy the thought of having a child with how expendable engineers are these days.
That would be kind of my intuition as well, but apparently a few surveys have shown that people were so depressed by the quarantine that they stopped... being intimate.
seriously, the problem is apps wanting unfettered, opaque access to your system and data. If the default Steam install can r/w everywhere, anti-cheat needs kernel modules and a game can install a Trojan (like recently exploited with Source) - I say: no thanks to that, have a VM for gaming and all proprietary stuff and say a big fucking NO to the shshow the "games" ecosystem as a whole is...
Sure, but why do you need an increasing number of them?
I suspect you're wrong. Economic uncertainty hammers birthrates, and this pandemic has been the ultimate demonstration of uncertainty: in the space of a few weeks, we went from a humming economy to 20% unemployment. It's a brutal reminder that in the contemporary economy you can have the chair kicked out from under you at any second, and that's not conducive to having children.

There also seems to be a lot of anecdotal evidence that people are having way less sex right now, for what that's worth.
Seems like people in this thread want an E2EE alternative. May I mention https://standardnotes.org/.

It's a very well built notes app, cross-platform. The dev team makes really solid decisions (they say no more than any other company to feature requests).

I'm in no way affiliated to them, just a happy paid customer who agrees with their mission and values.
As a parent, I agree. It's a big expense and lots of work. I personally think it's well worth it for me personally, but for a lot of people, I agree that it's not worth the headache. I don't think there's anything wrong with using that extra time/money on yourself instead.
It's part of the systemd project umbrella? It's part of the systemd monorepo? It uses libsystemd?

Maybe it's simply easier to maintain this way?

elogind exists, if you care. It exposes the DBus interfaces that logind supports for applications to call.

Thus, environments like Gnome can be supported on non-systemd systems if they emulate and/or expose and implement the required DBus interfaces.

From the title I assumed this was going to be something else. I remember some sites used to port scan you on registration. This was to check if registrations were from an open proxy, which was a very strong bot indicator. I might be misremembering but I think Slashdot used to do it. There were also some plugins for phpBB forums that did it too. I used one back in the day and it helped quite a bit with spam registrations.

> there's simply no way I can participate in the one thing that being human is really about: procreation.

As someone with 2 kids and a third on the way, I think this is a really sad and reductive way to think about life. The way I think about the meaning and purpose of my life has changed since I had kids, but I had a perfectly meaningful and purposeful life before that. Focus more on finding meaning and making connections with other people, and less on your economic situation and whether you can afford to "breed". People who live in abject poverty can still have happy families, or live happy, meaningful lives.

> The carrying capacity of the Earth is closed to 1 billion people...

Where does this come? Is it referenced in the books you mention? I just have never heard this before.
It doesn't make any sense in trying innocent people!

(No, seriously, I know people who believe that.)
As a parent I personally think people are way too preoccupied with trying to have perfect material conditions before having a child. If you can put a roof over their head, feed, cloth, and love them and give them a mostly constant home environment you're doing your job as a parent. Kids are sensitive to their social conditions but oblivious to their material situation until they've entered preadolescence. This can be pulled off even in times of great economic insecurity (think about all the depression-era babies). It's arguably easier to get them out of way when you're younger, healthier and can withstand sleep deprivation better. Money won't buy you sleep unless you've got enough for a nanny.
In this case, it's a good thing, because the birthrates declined most for women 24 and younger. Creating another person is one of the most carbon-intensive actions anyone can do, you're literally spawning a lifetime of energy use. Best to do that when you're SURE they will have all the resources they need to be a productive and helpful member of society...not when you're 16 and can't care for them properly.

I do think there is value to having a balanced aged pyramid, however. We don't want a China or Japan situation, where there are far too many old people, which would crush the younger members of society under the burden of caring. The one way to counteract that would be immigration, which has been a hot-button issue and is not a given or perfect remedy for population pyramids.
I think it is good if the decline happens at a steady rate rather than a sudden drop which will create an imbalance between the number of elderly folks who need support and a younger generation who could provide that support.
"the carrying capacity of the Earth is closed to 1 billion people" This is FUD. The carrying capacity of earth is determined by the ingenuity of humanity. It can go poorly for the environment or not, but considering it purely a function of the number of people is Malthusian hogwash.
It comes from ideology, not anything backed in evidenced based scientific research.
I had the similar idea, for example you are interested in only certain chapter of a 500 pages book and you pay micropayment to access only that pages of the chapter and the book.
You're just repeating the premise.

Why does a growing economy require a growing population? There's not a very strong correlation between population and GDP per capita - the US has the highest GDP and there's several countries with significantly larger populations.
I agree this is quite disturbing.

It does not, however, sound like an attacker can establish arbitrary TCP connections (at least using the technique from the article). Instead, the attacker can determine if something is listening on a port because it will take a different amount of time to negotiate/drop a connection to a port when there is a listener than when there is not a listener.

In other words, this sounds like a variant of a timing attack. As such, presumably, this particular avenue of attack can be mitigated by the browser vendor inserting a delay s.t. no information can be gleaned from how long it takes to negotiate/drop a websocket connection.

EDIT: I also wonder if it would be possible to do a similar port scan using the timing of XHR requests to localhost (e.g. http://localhost:[port]).

> have had a huge helping hand by leveraging the US's pioneering work on the engineering side.

The same launcher that will launch JUICE (ESA's Jupiter moon probe) will launch NASA's James Webb space telescope, because NASA didn't have access to an appropriate American launcher (everything available at time of planning failed on either payload capacity by mass, payload capacity by volume, or reliability track record, AIUI, so Ariane it was) after decades of under-investment.

And most of NASA's highest profile missions this century launched on an Atlas V, which, while made in the US, uses rocket engines designed in the Soviet Union almost 50 years ago and made in Russia (incidentally, these are by some metrics still amongst the most capable kerosene rockets available; underinvestment in rocket engine design isn't _just_ a US thing).

Domestic commercial stuff may take over at some point, but for the moment, NASA is largely dependent on partially or entirely foreign launchers for its highest profile scientific launches.
It's sad that pretty much all EV cars already have all the hardware necessary to do this - most cars have the hardware to power their charging socket to whatever voltage/current/frequency they want.

All it would require is a firmware update and someone to splice a socket onto the end of the charging lead.
The American Dream is that all families climb the ladder to the point where they own a house that always goes up in value and a stock market portfolio basically guaranteed by federal economic policy to grow 10% a year over the long term.

All those people earning money by doing nothing needs to be supported by an ever-increasing influx of people actually doing work. So we promise the latter the American Dream. Ponzi scheme.

You still have innovation in a stable population size.
Yes. When blogs were at their peak, non-techy people could hop from blog to blog through each blog's "logroll" which were headlines pulled automatically from other blogs selected by the author of the one you were viewing. They appeared next to the blog's own content.

Even if the blog you were reading wasn't that great its logroll would often lead you to exciting new content and people that you could subscribe to. It became a huge status thing and blog "rockstars" made their reputations based on how many big name people had them in their logroll and how many people were following their feed.

Overall, this rich web of connections was a very powerful, organic way to discover new content and people to follow. It benefited everybody and was controlled by nobody.
I decided against kids a couple of years ago and I’m so glad I did. I just couldn’t see myself raising kids the way I wanted to and being able to keep my career and quality of life. And I see so many new parents just being ground down by it all, and that was before the pandemic.

Without independent wealth, I just don’t see how people do it without making some incredible sacrifices.
I am not surprised, being that it's one of the oldest AWS services? What I do love about IAM is that with the work that the Automated Reasoning Group is doing with Zelkova, it's really a dream to be able test IAM policies before deploying them. I really hope their work trickles back to the service teams so that they too can leverage it to see their way out of those dark corners in IAM :)

The economy doesn’t and just about every argument that says it does shows very clearly the bias of those who make them.

That said, there are many things social structures and institutions with embedded growth assumptions such as social security, pension plans, government debt, etc.
Ask HN: Why is Facebook’s stock at all time highs?
Today Facebook’s stock hit an all time high during what is supposedly the greatest economic challenge we are facing in a decade or longer. Can anyone explain the reasoning? What am I missing?
A look at the charts tells a different story IMO.

> Birthrates fell or held steady for women of all ages except those in their early 40s. Teenagers saw the sharpest drop, with a 5% decline in their birthrate. Since peaking in 1991, the teen birthrate has fallen 73%.

Seems to me like people are waiting longer these days. We may be in a lull at the moment, but I'd expect this to pick back up barring any adverse economic conditions.
I think there are pros and cons. You mention some of the pros. Right now I think the ideal population growth would be slightly below replacement level for a while, and then replacement level once we hit a population that seems to "work."

You can't ignore the social problems created by shrinking populations though. A major one is monopolization of high positions in business and politics by an increasingly elderly class that is stuck in an obsolete way of thinking. In America this has given birth to the quip "ok, boomer."

I don't like sounding age-ist, but it does seem as if most people stop updating their understanding of the world at some point in their 40s. I don't think it's that older people can't learn. My grandfather taught himself computer programming, called BBSes (at 300 baud!), learned digital/TTL electronics, and learned all kinds of other new stuff in his 60s. It's just that most people don't do this. I think it might be an ego thing. People decide they know it all at some point and stop learning or changing their opinions.

It could also have less to do with age than with age plus status. High status people rarely seem to make drastic revisions to their world view because their brain stem is telling them everything they're doing is working. (At least this is the mechanism I suspect exists. It would have survival value to some extent.) So you get entrenched older managerial and political classes that double, triple, and quadruple down on failing policies because the failure has not affected them yet.

A second problem is that virtually every society on Earth today uses growth to paper over a range of systemic failings. Instead of dealing with inequality, we use growth. Instead of getting rid of moribund industries we use growth to make new ones while keeping the old stuff around. Growth really does avoid the need to confront a lot of very messy problems. Recent political history has not inspired confidence in me that we can confront these problems any more rationally than people in the past.
Except that it will probably barely move the needle. The US's contribution to world population growth is negligible compared to Africa's or parts of Asia.

That being said, this focus on "population" always sounds a little wrong to me. It's not about how many people are alive, it's about the consumption of resources per person. And by this metric, yes, the US is probably the worst offender. But here is the thing, will childless household/individuals consume less than families?
Then why did your "user agent" permit it? Seems rather anti-user.
Sure, and if you're skilled, you can disarm a bomb before it explodes. You're ingenious as a species, but you're still dead. The data does not show that on our current trajectory, we are going to disarm the bomb. Even with COVID-19, we're unable to reduce CO2 emissions to levels needed to avert climate change, without going on ad nauseam about natural resource exhaustion (fish stocks continue to be depleted [1], rapidly exhausting phosphorus reserves for fertilizer [2] and fossil aquifers for agriculture [3], etc).

800 million people out of 7.6 billion are chronically undernourished [4] and your argument is we can still support more people? At what point do people get real that we are burning the gas faster than we can fill the gas tank of the ecosystem engine? Hope is not a strategy, and we are not so ingenuous if we already have so many people struggling to survive. Less people over time (total fertility rate stepdown), less demand on world resources, less suffering. It's that simple.

Nor have I, it sounds fairly arbitrary to me. I don't think a global society that's structured the proper way need have a maximum population limit. If energy becomes cheaper and cheaper, like with breakthroughs in solar, wind, nuclear, storage, fusion, then it seems to me we could easily support 10 billion people's food and resource needs, given a circular economy which is highly efficient. There's also asteroid mining, carbon capture, vertical farming, high density living like in Asia...there are a lot of efficiencies to be gained in how our population lives.
Drivers for use by Linux, not for use by antagonists.
What does "carrying capacity" in this case mean? I've seen various numbers quoted on this and they all seem somewhat suspect to me. Humans improve the world for ourselves through work. As time progresses we get better at it and solve various problems. It's not like us consuming resources actually makes the resources disappear from Earth. They're still there, but they simply need more work to be done to be made useful. We extract new resources because it's cheaper, but at some point that'll change. Hopefully that's so far in the future that it's a challenge that's easily met.

> [...] I still think that other nations [...] have had a huge helping hand by leveraging the US's pioneering work on the engineering side

If you argue that way, one could just as well say that the US leveraged other nation's know-how to get into space in the first place... This idea also quickly falls apart if you'd just take a look at the pioneering work the Soviets did. Most of the firsts in space weren't done by the US.

As great as NASA was/is, not every great accomplishment was based on their work. The engineering side in particular was done independently and arguably better in some regards elsewhere (Soyuz for example, which incidentally is the basis for the manned Chinese capsules as well).

For some reason it's harder to do on Windows even though the market is far bigger. I'm thinking of software like Things or Fantastical.
