Mine was just an anecdotal evidence. Also that 52% boy babies count itself is too low. The real scenario for my comparison is 3 boys for every 1 girl born. It's also way more complicated than your simulation. Say the first kid was a boy and the second kid was a girl, people don't stop. They think their risk(Having a boy to provide in old age) is hedged and are likely to try for one more kid.

If you have families where 3 boys are born in a series, and a family on the other hand stops at the first daughter. Or a family that has 2 boys + 1 girl - Compared to a family having just one girl. Do this for a billion people, and you will the see things start going real bad soon.

Also note, just a small imbalance is not enough to cover for marriages. In India getting married is a long series of AND conditions you have to pass through. Religion, Caste, Language, Skin Color, Dowry affordability, Age, Social Standing etc etc. You are likely to end up a section of society that just doesn't get any girls.

India is a society where a daughter means a huge wedding expense, plus dowry. All this a drain to your retirement savings, plus now not having a provider in old age(which you would have one if you had a boy instead of a girl). That's how screwed up the society is. It's really one of the worst places on earth for a woman to be born in.

You are dealing with a society that's ridiculously good at not having daughters. A practice perfected for decades.

I implemented a bloom filter for the KeePass plugin [1] I wrote, using the data from HIBP. It was pretty fun and there were some challenges that you won't typically encounter in online guides.

Still, that was a hobby project, I've never had to implement anything similar at my regular job.

I think the point here is that the people who don't want kids are still a useful part of our gene pool, and we should look critically at what factors in to the decision not to have any kids - I don't think it's genetic at all.

It's impossible for me not to think of Idiocracy while writing this - which was extremely exaggerated, but still...
My personal best was -112,000 on a legacy project.

The code base was full of commented out code (the best case scenario as you know immediately it can be deleted), methods which had been deprecated and replaced with ‘myMethod2()’ and eventually ‘myMethod3()’ with all of them still in the class (and for extra fun, it wasn’t always the case that all references had been updated to the newest method), and thousand line blocks of code which static analysis helped me pick up were actually not possible to ever actually execute, etc.

Basically a static analyzer with an analysis mode for finding dead code just flagged pretty much the entire codebase.

And in the process I split a totally unrelated project which had been grown inside that codebase like a tumour into its own codebase.

Needless to say two weeks of my time invested really pepped up development velocity for that team.

But does this mean you need to learn them by rote or be able to figure them out on a whiteboard? No. And although they appear regularly, I don‘t spend enough time on them that this would meaningfully affect my performance.

Only if the election is per-seat.

In the Netherlands, elections for the lower house (150 seats) are nationwide. The 150 candidates/parties with the highest number of votes get a seat.

The party system makes it a bit more complex, but in the end, there's roughly proportional representation: a party with 10% of the popular vote occupies roughly 10% of the seats.

No superwinning like in the UK (where 30% of the vote can get you more than 30% of the seats), no cut-off except you need at least 1/150th of the votes to get a seat.

> Well, plenty can lead to it eventually, usually offering some kind of pathway. Even the US provides pathways to permanent residence (and then citizenship) through employment.

The US has a lot of visas for longer term professional work, that do not allow you to obtain the right to permanent residency or citizenship, at least on paper (for example, one way to get in: these individuals however, are allowed to get married to a US citizen and can theoretically, at least, get in that way).

So, the US and Estonia are not much different, in this respect. But, in these situations, what it comes down to, in order to stay long term: formal in-person connections in the respective country.
I tried searching for Element in the Google Play store. It suggests an app dedicated to Asian gay men. The website directs to Riot.im.

From the article:
> RiotX (our ground-up rewrite of Riot Android) has exited beta, and replaces Riot Android as Element

RiotX I can find/see, but it shows as a beta. It's not called Element.

I guess it's a slow rollout?

I used Riot ages ago, it was the suggested solution to have IRC on mobile. It wasn't that reliable plus it was crazy slow (search . They now suggest Rocket chat, it isn't slow but it doesn't do IRC. So now the community is divided across loads of platforms. There's also some web based things, e.g. Discourse, some still use mailing lists, etc. Plus things like Gitlab. It used to be much easier to follow things ("lurk").
Any details how this works and is set up? Just for curiosity. I imagine it’s a hobby project of some sort?

I don’t disagree that we have the technology to emit less pollution simply by doing less (the moral decisions in this hypothetical), but the issue is that most (perhaps nearly all) people in the world don’t agree with your morality.

This makes technologies which bypass this problem far more feasible, even if they’re further out from actually solving the problem. They might have the potential to get there, whereas morality probably doesn’t.

Agriculture is a major source of pollution for example, but it’s how everyone eats. The fact that most people in the world are poor makes this problem extremely hard to solve... How do you argue morality with someone who is just trying to feed themselves? If you want them to use less fertilizer, irrigate less, ship their product shorter distances, etc for the sake of climate change, well... Good luck.

> in Crimea almost everyone wanted to join Russia anyway

That much is actually true - I grew up not far from there, and it was a mistake for Khrushchev to give Crimea to Ukrainian SSR - it's been a part of Russia since 1783. But back then it was unimaginable that the USSR would fall, so nobody made much of it. Ukrainians were an ethnic minority in Crimea, and Russians were 67% of the population at the time it re-joined Russia. Not something you will find in US mainstream press. This is why Greenwald's input is valuable - he actually studied the issue rather than parroting the mainstream party line.

To see why he's right, consider this: Russia took Crimea _without any bloodshed_ and with fairly minimal military presence. This would not be possible if populace wasn't in agreement.

Leaving aside the formalities, Ukraine's grasp on Crimea was tenuous at best, and its fate was decided when Ukraine threatened to kick Russian military base out of Sevastopol - which lets Russia control the vital Black sea. With Russia no longer there, somebody else (e.g. NATO) could take its place, which Russia will not allow for geostrategical reasons.

But even ignoring Russia's interests in the region - one could argue Crimea was never really "Ukrainian" in the first place, and their temporary possession of that land was a historical mistake, which has now been corrected. It's not even clear if Khrushchev had the authority to give it away in the first place.

> You give a tax break of 50% on capital gains per child and the kids will be popping from the higher economic rungs

Of course, with a perversely positive incentive like that. But it tells us nothing of the natural impulse in a neutral environment.

In a lot of the western world there is plenty of support for having kids. Ample child care leave, solid monetary support, free or affordable child care and schooling. And in the countries which have most of this, the birth rate is low but not catastrophically so. (see Germany, the Nordics..)

Whereas in the US and Japan, for example, there are certainly structural factors that now weigh against having kids. But it does not tell us much about the "default state"
Note that C#, Pascal don't "know" about known types during parsing like parsing C/C++ requires, it knows how a type is formatted, what it's looking for is:

If you want to indicate they're parameters you're probably best of using syntax that's already being used for parameters like, $a, ?a, :a. I guess {a} is also used, but we wanted to avoid braces.

Not sure if .a or ~a are good choices. The latter is especially bad since it clashes with common syntax for "(bitwise) not a".
You're probably right. My thinking is that with time and with a reduced population the world might become more enlightened. Also if there is an agricultural surplus that it might be put to use feeding the poor.

> Blood is thicker than water, people should be realistic.

Somewhat off-tangent here, but this is a frequent misunderstanding of this particular quote. The actual quote is: “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” and it means the exact opposite of what we now use it for. The intended meaning is that relationships entered into as adults are much stronger and deeper than those we are forced into through accident of birth simply because they are intentional. While I hope my children will be there for me in old age, I know that I will be there for my wife and closest friends even though we are not bound by any particular genetic imperative.

> I wouldn't want to put children in this world. I don't think the future world is a nice place to grow up in, even the current world isn't.

I have posted the following a few years ago:

> My ancestors thought it was okay to have kids during times in which many scholars where certain the apocalypse was due in the next 25 years, during periods in which the plague killed more than half of the population, during the 30 years war and in a time when there was a realistic chance of nuclear annihilation in the next 10 years.
I am glad they did.

Today, as a father, I would add: as a potential parent, you are in no position to decide that your future children, grandchildren or great^x-grandchildren won't be glad to be alive. You don't know them, and most importantly you do not know and you cannot know about their world. In my opinion, this argument is nothing more but a convenient excuse to avoid the stress of bringing up kids. It is a valid reason to not want any kids because of the stress, but please don't rationalize yourself into peace of conscience by assuming that you can look into the future.

We actually get fairly good value for our tax dollar, as EU citizens.

I am both American and an EU citizen. While I love the United States dearly, I have a safer, more stable life working in the EU.
"Europe" is a big and diverse place. But it's my fault for generalizing. Let me rather mention the Scandinavian countries, for example, where support is pretty ample. Certainly, having kids is still expensive and time consuming, but that's how it's been since the beginning of time. The difference is, now people can afford not to have them.

As for the rest of Europe, sure, housing is expensive and all that, but people have more discretionary income now than ever, after housing and daily necessities (at least as far as I can recall from economics classes). But I do think young people's expectations have shifted as well, which makes it feel like we've got less headroom for a bunch of kids. And we certainly don't have the safe, well-paying jobs our boomer parents often lucked into.

You CANNOT make any statements about whether or not a code change is productive / unproductive if you do not know the context. It doesn't work like that. Take any random commit on https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits/master; most change just a handful of lines but I can guarantee that each of them represents a significant time investment in analyzing, documenting, discussing and testing the code change in question.

I mean I get where you're coming from, if your job is basic data wrangling (webapp -> rest API -> back-end -> database and vice-versa) then you don't need to put too much thought into it and just need the output. But that's only one part of software development.

How do you insulate yourself while engaging them? I have a similar problem, close people who are imho thoroughly insulated, and that's the real issue; the insulation. It's not an accident or organic, it's induced. The information sources they trust relentlessly remind them to be insulated.

It's rather advanced propaganda, almost completely done with insinuation and emotional cues based on lies previously anchored.

Skipping the pre-chewed information sources by going directly to the sources that their trusted sources often mention but do not link to causes an emotional reaction.
