>If anyone, be a male or a female has no mean of having a family due to poor financial planning

I think this is pretty telling of your attitude to the whole thing. In a time where virtually all developed countries face a demographic crisis in the coming decades, where record numbers of young people cite "financial reasons" for not starting a family, you still think that if somebody is poor then the cause is "poor financial planning".
One could make a case that the nation was better off when not everyone was forced into being a two income household and more parents stayed home to raise their children. Closer knit families, better long term relationships, more skills and wisdom passed down from generation to generation.

Paid maternity leave doesn't fix time apart from your children over the first two decades of their life.
I am fascinated by this, when I was younger I was obsessed with cutting out sleep, experimenting with polyphasic sleep, energy drinks etc.

I'll add one other anecdote that I don't know what it means, but I had a project I was working on that was tight deadline, as a result I was only able to get two hours a sleep a night for about a week. For some reason once I got past the third day my tiredness and desire to sleep seemed to dip considerably, and I found that staying awake when engaged in any activity or discussion was easier. If I was just sitting in a meeting or presentation that I wasn't very interested in I would doze off, but as long as I was engaged I felt like I didn't need to sleep at all.

I really wish we knew more about sleep.
>It's not cut and dry.

Yeah, it actually is. You tell the Nazi's to fuck off and if they kick you out, they kick you out.
Linux is major platform for deployment of backend servers and Microsoft wants Windows to be viable development platform for Linux. Hence "frankesteining". Has nothing to do with the Windows being "limited" because it is not.

I use Windows to develop Linux applications and am happy like a clam with this approach.
The first .com implosion was broadly marked by companies that lacked revenue getting crazy valuations.

The current “.com” implosion is broadly being marked by companies that do have “revenue” but only by using VC cash to create “fake markets.”

The whole story of buying pizzas from a normal pizza shop for $20 and selling them for $18 through your “app” is the stereotypical example of the current .com implosion. Anyone can sell $2 bills for $1, but that’s not a business and no you can’t “make it up on volume” because the only reason people are using your app is because you’re selling something for a crazy low unsustainable price.

The take home lesson from the current unfolding implosion is that a great product does not magically just equal a great business.
Omg never knew he did Commander Keen too. CK2 probably was the first video game I played (as far as I can remember).

> the case for national paid parental leave -- that's right, parental leave, not just maternity leave -- is that it's a standard feature of developed countries.

This argument by itself is somewhere between bogus and crazy. Everybody else is doing it, so we should do it shouldn't be a key metric for a policy like this. Instead, we should look at why they did, how they did, what the measurable effects were, etc.
If the line taken here is that drone operators should be able to act with relative impunity, then drones need to be heavily regulated, with filed flight plans, and under the control of FAA flight control centers.
Except the population is not exponentially growing...
Except that overpopulation doesn't come from the US, or any first-world country really.

And don't twist my words, I'm not saying that Americans aren't largely participating in killing the planet. But that has nothing to do with overpopulation, it is a lifestyle thing.
Ahh - the comment from the person with the multi-car garage, the tesla and the range rover.

Walk me through what folks without good car / transit access should be using? If cab companies are "essential" then uber is essential and preferred to cab companies in many markets.

A lot of folks on HN seems to be approaching this whole situation from the I have a ton of money, can work from home, have a car mental model.
You don’t support forcing men to take paternity leave. Many people do. That’s why you’re being downvoted.
> I'm confused, because I use termux on android-10 (on a pixel2) without any problem.

It's only an issue if applications target Android 10 APIs. Termux still targets an older API version and is thus not yet affected by this issue. Eventually they'll need to target a newer version because the Google Play store specifies a minimum API version that applications need to use.

What if someone considers you an "asshat"? What should they do?

Sounds like the real issue is scale and anonymity then. What solution do you propose?
Thats how all countries approach this especially the US. If you, for example, buy a tank for the US and plan to attack a US ally with it well good luck getting access to the bullets or software updates.
Wow that was very enlightening. I had been wondering why meetings used to bug me, and now I have no issue. Oh did I mention I am a manager now, I scheduled this in an appropriate time slot. I cannot wait to get back to hating meetings.
What's more troubling is there's a list going around being used for censorship that citizens can't FOIA or see.

Citizenship has no bearing on the internal policies of private corporations. If you don't like the large corporate offerings, do without and use other services. Being a consumer of their services doesn't grant legal standing because you haven't suffered any definable injury.
That optimization that makes everything fragile is why people can afford the quality of life that they do. You can't have a serious discussion about buying local at a macroeconomic level without an accompanying serious discussion about cost.
I told (past-tense) a person (singular) to consider founding a company in the context of their individual circumstances, while reassuring them that if they chose not to that I would support that decision; in a discussion entirely unrelated to the one we're having now.

You are arguing in bad faith and I have no interest in entertaining it any further.
Remember when Dara predicted "profitability" by 2021? LOL, just another Softbank/VC funded money pit.
My experience is similar: the ready-to-cook stuff like boneless skinless chicken breasts have been near impossible to find. The last time I went to the grocery there were huge bags full of unprocessed parts like leg quarters and half-split breasts. Whole chickens are plentiful. I'm very thankful for my good set of knives and my knife skills. I recently split a 25-lbs bag of King Arthur flour with another person because that's all that was available, the 10-lbs bags were sighted recently and even that was gone.

To support the local economy, I started buying from a farm that used to supply restaurants and chefs. That has resulted in its own kind of headache. I can put together a decent meal, but I have few ideas how to go forward with nasturtium petals, begonia leaves, edible succulents. Micro-greens are very pretty scattered over a Michelin-star plate, but looks awfully stupid on a spatchcock roast chicken.
Well yes, it wasn't the part that interested me about that paragraph, but if you want the whole thing...

> His research proved successful, netting him twenty thousand dollars, which he donated to the Free Software Foundation, an organization of like-minded believers in the Hacker Ethic. “Its [sic] not like I’m trying to make a living at [blackjack],” Carmack wrote online after his trip, “so the chance of getting kicked out doesn’t bother me too much.” It didn’t take long for him to find out just how he’d feel. On the next trip, Carmack was approached by three men in dark suits who said, “We’d appreciate if you’d play any other game than blackjack.”

> The others at the table watched in disbelief. “Why are they doing this to you?” a woman asked.

> “They think that I’m counting cards,” Carmack said.

> “They think you can remember all those different cards?”

> “Yeah,” Carmack replied, “something like that.”

> “Well, what do you do?”

The source is bullshit. Baidu, the Chinese search engine, has less than 3% market share in Asia? Where Google is banned for over a billion people?

Who believes this crap? You might as well have linked to a Facebook comment.
No nuclear powers are backing the Ukraine or Crimea. The US is explicitly backing Taiwan. When the CCP started conducting "exercises" near Taiwan during the Clinton era, the US sent 3 carriers to conduct "exercises" nearby.

And, as others have pointed out, they weren't trying to conquer all of Ukraine, just the parts with a "warm" water port, which also happened to have a lot of ethnic Russians. Limited scope, for a tactical gain (a seaport). The CCP, however, is trying to take all of Taiwan, and enforce their will on people who absolutely do not want it.

With a Nuclear India next door (and Nuclear Pakistan next to them), plus Japan, Vietnam, and a host of other countries that have a reason to be weary of China, it's a risky gambit. It is a good way to kickoff WWIII, for an island that is already, effectively, in the Chinese cultural and economic sphere.
Where are you that testing is still a problem? At least here in AZ there is no wait to get any sort of test, and actually doctors are now just including them in the standard blood panels they do.
Since when did enabling a tyrannical dictatorship doesn’t relate to bloodshed? They have concentration camps for gods sake.
broadband internet, clothing, real estate, banking, grocery stores would be an awesome start.

Which ones could we not?
The equivalent benefit of being childless is that you don't have a child. Congrats!
"Transparent" vs "opaque" governments strikes me as a false dichotomy. There is certainly a spectrum of transparency and I grant that the United States is more transparent than China (at least from my perspective inside the former), but keep in mind that Snowden is still facing charges if he comes home and Manning just got free after her latest round of detainment. Considering the ways national interests interact is more useful than using transparency as your measuring stick for everyone.

Old VC model:
1. Invest billion$ in startup.
2. Profit.

New VC model:
1. Light billion$ on fire.
2. Matt Levine critiques the height and coloration of your flames.

I feel this too, I would vouch for gaining in-depth expertise in a small area at least till a point you are recognized as a well known expert in your circles before switching to grokking mode. Gaining depth requires focused and sustained effort and is usually more rewarding than shallow breadth.
Someone is enjoying the benefit of living in a house they didn't pay for, nor work hard maintaining. They are essentially taking for free what you have spent a lot of time, money, and effort on while literally shitting all over it. Also, you have no recourse to recover the costs they are incurring on you. The mental gymnastics occurs when someone tries to say it's YOUR fault that someone is taking advantage of you.

> whether maybe John Carmark does this with all code everywhere in the universe.

A lot of people rename things and add comments as part of understanding a new code base. I do and I'm sure I'm not the only one on HN.
It looks like the authors relied on several sources. They write:

“To analyze how VC deal activity responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and attendant economic crisis, we use data from Pitchbook, CB Insights, and Capital IQ. We tabulate VC investment deals in U.S.-based startups by industry and sector using the Pitchbook and CB Insights data. Pitchbook has the advantage of broader coverage, while CB Insights has the advantage of detailed company descriptions, which enable us to assess changes in financing for particular types of businesses in sectors especially hard-hit by the crisis.”

> I think something like that ruins the special sauce and the resulting experiment may be able to survive (breath, react at a motor level), but effectively does not live a conscious life.

But if we have no way to measure consciousness (and arguably, we can't, if it's truly a "special sauce"), you can't prove whether or not this reanimated creature is simply a mechanically moving shell of what was, a la every zombie movie, or the same person, or something in between.
It really does remind me of the .com bubble in many ways. The quote from Scott McNeely[0] has sprung to mind a lot lately.

- MSFT 10x sales

- V 17x sales

- MA 16x sales

- NFLX 9x sales

- BYND 23x sales

- ZM 68x sales

Some of those are obviously great companies with fat margins and well worth above average multiples. But ZM at 68x sales?

The market feels a bit out of touch.

[0] "At 10 times revenues, to give you a 10-year payback, I have to pay you 100% of revenues for 10 straight years in dividends. That assumes I can get that by my shareholders. That assumes I have zero cost of goods sold, which is very hard for a computer company. That assumes zero expenses, which is really hard with 39,000 employees. That assumes I pay no taxes, which is very hard. And that assumes you pay no taxes on your dividends, which is kind of illegal. And that assumes with zero R&D for the next 10 years, I can maintain the current revenue run rate. Now, having done that, would any of you like to buy my stock at $64? Do you realize how ridiculous those basic assumptions are? You don’t need any transparency. You don’t need any footnotes. What were you thinking?"
> I have seen some time up precisely their pregnancies to maximize time off work,

How on earth can you know that?

'I have seen' - excuse me, but what? Are you going to tell us that you work at a company where people's reproductive plans are common water cooler discussion? Do you work a tech company? I'd find that mind-boggling.

'timing a pregnancy'? Only someone who's never tried to get pregnant could take that seriously.
For several (3) years now I have had no reason to update my desktop with a i7-6700k because single core performance has remained relatively flat (in fact my particular processor has quite good single core rating still). I would have liked increased cores but the reduction in single-threaded performance wasn't worth it. Zen 2 changed all of that...

Now EVERY single Zen 2 chip is at least smidge faster than my 6700k in single threaded benchmarks AND close to 100% faster in multi-core benchmarks. So for $180 I can buy something that takes a huge meaningful shit on my (fairly nice at the time) 6700k (~$350 when I purchased it).

That's just crazy to me how much performance I can get for so little. I'm going to buy something beastly with at least 16 cores, but! I also plan on building a little cluster using mini-itx B550 boards and the 3300x. In fact, I'll probably build the little cluster first, because each 3300X is still faster than my 6700k and the total cost per system will be like $450!!one! It hasn't been since the orig Core-2-Duo days I've gotten such a meaningful upgrade for so little. Plus, when Zen 3 comes out it's a drop in upgrade.

AMD is delivering insane value to their consumers, and I love it. I just wish I could buy a Zen 2 chip in a laptop that doesn't look like it was made for a fourteen year old (no offense to any fourteen year olds). I heard someone say the lack of 4k and more professional style laptops could be Intel back-channel fuckery, but... there's also a chance no-one expected AMD, in a single fucking generation of CPUs, to sweep every single market.
Android apps specify a target SDK version (essentially a kind of OS version) in their manifest alongside a min SDK version. The advantage of targeting a newer SDK than the oldest one you support is that you get access to new APIs, but it often comes with additional restrictions as well. Google Play periodically updates their policy to require that targetSdkVersion be above a certain value in order for an app to be published in the play store (currently that value corresponds to Android 9) [1]. What this means is that this policy is an optional trade-off today but likely to be a requirement in the future.

I extend this same thinking to homeschooling. I know many bright, well educated, home schooled individuals that save the US tax payers $200k to teach their kids themselves.

I think the benefit of a stay-home parent is just too abstract or far off to ever get support in economic policy. We know that children with a stay at home parent do better in all areas of life. But if the "traditional values" party isn't talking about supporting stay at home parents now, I'm not sure why they would ever start.
I think that's a bit of a selective history though. In the 1990s there were plenty of politicians that fervently supported it, though the reasons they supported probably had something to do with this[1].

Streacom DB4, one of the most beautiful passive cases around. It matches Apple-level design, it's stunning.

As GPU I had the Gigabyte GTX 1650 mini and the Gigabyte GTX 1660 TI mini. The 1650 is definitely easier to put in a passively cooled system, but the 1660 TI is much more powerful.
That's a strange equivalence, and a malevolent comment.

Outing whistle-blowers (or supposed whistle-blowers) is bad for democracy. The government is supposed to be transparent to the people. This does not mean that the people should be transparent to the government, or that dissidents should be outed.
Oh yes, I forgot about this one. It's about the only thing my state is doing fairly well at.
When Apple did it, it wasn't at all clear that there would be a lucrative mobile software market. What was clear is that the success of their platform absolutely depended on applications not giving the platform a bad name. And insisting on control was typical Steve Jobs.

Apple's motivations for continuing to charge outrageous fees are, of course, that they want to keep the free money rolling in. And they must have hoped to generate a revenue stream. But establishing tight control had lots of other motivations.

By contrast Google was deliberately creating an open platform on open sourced software. Their decision to lock down this piece was opposite the rest of the product direction. And it is hard to believe that they weren't looking at the demonstration of what happened with the iPhone and were trying to replicate the revenue model.
I have read many posts and articles by John Carmack, as well as viewed or attended many of his talks. In short, I have nothing but respect for him as a developer, thinker and human being in general. Consequently, if he's contributing to OpenBSD, that can only be a good thing in my opinion.

If you assume the censor is grossly incompetent and overreaching then they don't need a rule against hate speech, they can just label everything spam. And good fucking luck if you try to make a site where spam is never deleted.
The long term societal benefits of supporting people who are raising children are obvious. If you don't care about the future of your city/country/species then you'll need to accept that you hold a relatively fringe viewpoint that is not going to be represented in government policy.
That is like 3 steps more than it should be. There should be a global setting to tell apple to fuck off with their security bullshit.
You're involved in a conflict and you don't know where the front line is?

And indeed they aren't, for the survival of the human race. They are, however, very important for the survival of individual humans.

> There are no laws in the United States against hate speech

An interesting part of this discussion is that Youtube is operating globally. There are a number of countries with the concept of “hate speech” in the law. Saying it doesn’t exist in US law is only a partial answer.

>The reason why software companies don't generally hire contract software developers

Have you ever been inside a FAANG? Sometimes it feels like red badges outnumber FTE 2:1 so I have no idea what you're talking about.
You are running in a compatibility mode. If they built it declaring support for Android 10 at build time it would be subject to the new rules and break.

Long term, I can only assume targeting an old SDK will not be supported at some point.

The thing is I've never worn out a piece of equipment in 25 years of computer enthusiasm. I've had some DOAs and infamous equipment (say Deathstar) but never failures even second hand equipment. Is that different for 24/7 max power draw or is it just YMMV (and usually will still work)?
I don't see why not, but admittedly I haven't thought it through any further than that.

The comparison with store brands doesn't really work because Costco and Sam's and Target don't invite third-party sellers to build their businesses on what amounts to sharecropped shelf space. Procter & Gamble and Berkshire Hathaway can hold their own in any negotiations with Costco and Amazon. For small businesses, the situation is more like the complaints we always hear about Apple's app store, where the company buys or builds their own first-party competitors in categories that prove unexpectedly successful.

Dirty pool, but legal enough... at least as long as you (a) don't hold a monopoly on distribution, or aspire to do so; and (b) didn't just get back from Washington, DC where you told Congress that you didn't do this. Both of these factors are problematic with Amazon, IMO. It's true that they don't hold a monopoly on distribution, technically speaking, but where else are third-party sellers supposed to turn?
I have absolutely no idea, but I'd bet it's extremely little because I've never heard of anything. In any case, this strikes me as weak sauce. You can make up purity tests to accuse anybody of anything, and if you choose to read that blog post as signifying "support for the Chinese regime", that is entirely your fantasy.

In any case, this has zero effect on HN moderation. It had zero effect while YC China was being set up, zero effect while YC China was being wound down, and zero effect regardless of whatever "Chinese money" you're referring to, which you seem to know more about than I do. The only effect any of this has on HN moderation is people making up dark insinuations about it and posting them to HN. I expect that kind of thing from trolls but it's pretty weird to see you stoop to it.
Some things are above the interest of public scrutiny. Medical records and whistleblower identities are two examples.
I've never heard of allSettled, but the difference seems clear to me. However, I think you would usually want the semantics of Promise.all, allSettled seems more for niche use cases.
