>what is it about being rich that causes you to have less kids?

Are we talking locally rich or globally rich?

People in industrialized (rich) nations don't have tons of kids because that's not how you get ahead in that kind of economy. Subsistence farmers have tons of kids because that's how they get ahead economically.

Within richer nations richer people have fewer kids because the way social safety nets and social expectations of how one should raise one's kids make kids more expensive the higher up you go.
Yeah, I’ve been in this situation before (without the PIP), where I had to explain to my manager that I can either help everyone get their work done, or do my own work, but given the number of people asking for help it was not going to be both.
Another post on the homepage now: "Element wins deal to supply half a million licences for German education system". I was going to point out that it's a pretty generic name being used by other groups, but when I read that linked article I see it's the same Element :-D
two thoughts

a) where does it say this? it says the machine will have 16 GB of ram, nothing about possible bonus upgrades one might be able to get (though maybe you followed some links in the article)

b) even if 16 GB is max: whoever it is that "needs" more than 16 GB probably won't go for an ultra light weight (< 1 kg = < 2.2 pounds) 13 inch machine for their use case. Seems like "mobility" is priority number one, not having some multi-tasking maverick
It sounds a bit like search and search relevance. Which is a bit like trying to guess what’s wanted in a ranked or probabilistic ordering.

> tell me which normal company (people) pay sub-1% tax?

Which company are you talking about? Apple's tax rate in 2019 was 16%. They paid $10.5 billion in corporate income taxes.

The problem is the bureaucracy of the EU can't manage to fix their tax laws. With 27 members of the EU, and a broad spectrum of economic condition among them, there will always be nations that will benefit from very low tax rates. There is no scenario where the EU will ever fix their tax problems. Ireland is set to become one of the wealthiest nations in world history because of their corporate income tax rate, their GDP per capita is almost 100% higher than Britain and France now and that gap will keep expanding over time. Ireland is going to give that up? Not a chance.

Hungary is at 9%. What's the EU plan for dealing with that? Threaten them? Sanction them?

It's not really a mystery, we could just bring co2 levels back in line what they were at the beginning of the 20th century. Hell, even the 1950's levels of CO2 would be great.

But right now the carbon capture discussions are simply trying to avert disaster. None of the potential carbon capture solutions can remove so much carbon that we'll have to worry about removing too much co2.

Nope. 'Apple Computer Inc.' already marketed themselves specifically first in 'computers' and that association was built over the years.

After they had success in products that weren't attached to only 'desktop/laptop computers' it made sense to remove 'Computer' from the name.
The same was done for Tesla Motors Inc. to Tesla Inc.

This is more like a full blown renaming of Riot, New Vector, Modular -> Element. You need to rebuild that SEO and previous associations from scratch again.

You can stat files in the filesystem. We found some apps were stat'ing some files and these had different dates on different devices and they seemed to be around the time the device would have been manufactured. I can't remember off the top of my head the what the names of the files were.

You can also determine when the last update was installed by stat'ing files in the filesystem. But this is less useful for fingerprinting a device because it is prone to change.
You can use schemas with json/yaml (e.g. jsonschema or protobufs); I wish people used them more though
Would you say that someone who finds a way to murder someone within the law isn't at fault in that murder? You're simply playing a game of semantics, they're still culpable of tax evasion, just not legally culpable.

Just because Apple have found a way to avoid tax, doesn't mean it's not their fault.

You might find some idiots who argue there's a shareholder requirement, but that's not the law either.
I really wonder how much pressure AirBnB must be feeling from hosts in order to go through with this idea. There's no way that they have done thinking it would not have some downsides.

Or consider the alternative scenario where population keeps declining but technological advancement doesn't materialize. Which for AI and machine learning could happen soon with another 'AI winter' after people realize only narrow set of opportunities to deploy it.

The stability of society depends on technological progress and more children born in each new generation. Once this global Ponzi scheme reverses there is an incentive to manufacture lies about massive technological progress ahead of us. See buzzwords such as autonomous cars, industry 4.0 or quantum computing.

> In response to the backlash a spokesperson from Airbnb told SFGATE, “during this challenging time we heard from many Airbnb guests who were interested in supporting and reconnecting with past hosts. In the spirit of rekindling connections, we developed a new feature that allows guests to send virtual cards with messages of support and encouragement to hosts who provided excellent hospitality. If they wish, guests have the option to add a voluntary financial contribution.”

I wish journalists would stop rehashing PR bullshit that don't answer the question. I look forward to an article that rephrases the above to something like: "In response to the backlash a spokesperson from Airbnb SFGATE offered a PR line which did not address the question.".

I don’t think software that has major issues (individual negative feedback about missing features will be filtered out as noise in the average ranking so this does not apply to that) should be left uncriticized just because it is made by someone for free.

On the other hand, good software that people like will thrive because of this.

There's a much wider discussion (educational process?) we need to have as a society. The idea that your or my opinions are our own, that we came to them independently or that they're based on facts and logic is basically disproven at this point.

But people insist on pretending they are and mistakenly believe that facts change minds.

This is leading to disastrous public policy and significant damage to people's mental health. These are the issues (directly or indirectly) of our time. Solving them is the big challenge on the 2000s...
That's first point is true, but the second point doesn't necessarily follow. Methane is a quite powerful greenhouse gas, and it could be removed by in situ destruction (as it naturally is) rather than capture.
Are you sure? I think that countries that benefit from such schemes (e.g. Ireland, Netherlands, Luxembourg) can veto, sink such proposals before they land, or simply partially comply.

For instance, the Netherlands announced a withholding tax on royalties for 2021 "for cases where abuse is involved" [1] after international pressure. The way I read this is that they are building a facade where it looks they are complying with other EU regulations, but in reality it's business as usual. This way other EU countries have no appeal to these schemes as the Netherlands can say "we looked into these allegations, but no abuse there" and do nothing.

Google is generally good at returning correct results because they analyzed all users habits and can infer what one is looking for; it's up to the user to choose if it's worth the price to pay wrt privacy.
As for Signal, it's pretty normal for search engines, whether they spy on users or not, to return the app, since in their algorithms an explicit name (Signal) always wins over a generic name (a signal), which imo is how a search engine should work.
In due time, most searches for Element will eventually return the chat app. I'm not sure I will like the name by then though.
16%. Niiiice.
I agree with you on most parts, but not about keeping your errors at zero. In a fast moving environment, there will be mistakes or things that are missed. ideally, bugs should not have any attached meaning - yes there was an issue and now it is fixed. Good thing we found it today compared to a few days later. That is it.

Getting complaints from users is a good thing, but yeah missing them or not fixing them when you come across them is. As a user, I would be overjoyed if I reported a small issue, and the company fixed it quickly.

Being livid is natural, but I was pretty sure the developer himself knew he screwed up this time, so no point expressing it. Plus as I explained in the earlier comment, this escaped for so long because we did not have many cross device users. So did not affect that many users. Just for my experience, I check this every single time i test a website before it goes live. (and also check with other keyboards than just Gboard)
I am 58, on a (mostly) strict ketogenic diet since 2013. It has worked wonders for me and I expect to eat this way the rest of my life. I eat a lot of meat and eggs as I have found that combination (1) is something I enjoy very much, and (2) makes me feel the best.

I didn’t have much weight to lose but I went from 175 to 160 (high school weight) and under 15% body fat. My energy level is consistently very good.

Diet is a subjective thing, of course, but at a minimum getting rid of sugars and processed food might be a good starting point for anyone.

Anecdote: my brother-in-law reversed his T2 diabetes and lost quite a bit of weight doing keto. His doctor had advised meds to “manage” the disease.

(Dietary) Ketosis is only partially about low carbs, the other major part of the equation is high fat. With Atkins (like paleo diets) you might get the right amount of fat intake to enter into Ketosis, but it’s more likely you will be consuming to much lean protein and you will continue using glucose as your primary fuel source.

> In any case the fault is most certainly not merely marketing, it's a fundamental design flaw.

I was actually referring to the ruling. The court did not take issue with the autopilot system, just with the way it's marketed.

For the rest of your comment I agree and I implied something along the same lines. Tesla should have built a system that works to compensate for human failings, not take advantage of them to sell more.

New roads are built to be more wavy to keep the drivers more engaged, some traffic light systems that are synchronized as a "green wave" are sometimes stunted to not create this automation of running through lights (especially true of public transport vehicles where lights sync to the vehicle, except when an emergency vehicle is coming), etc.

Tesla should have installed an advanced driver attention monitoring system even before turning on the AP and they should have set very, very clear expectations from the system. In reality they did the opposite with people ending up believing that the AP can handle driving by itself so they can "disconnect", but the attention monitoring being completely unfit for the purpose of making sure the human is "connected".

Sorry about the slow reply here.

With the virtual credit cards, you also need a billing address in most cases. I guess that can be the same for all customers. Perhaps they also get an email address with it and that handles all the receipts/invoices. Alternatively they can all be sent to some service/app where they can be sorted/managed.

I would like to use something like this if I'm not keen to share my card details with a company e.g. because I know they've had a data breach in the past or something. How much would I be willing to pay for it? Probably not much to be honest, maybe a few quid?

Must admit, I like the acquiring idea more.

On the merchant acquiring stuff I can see the attraction for merchants but what's the incentive for customers? I guess there has to be some other benefit... e.g. offering credit on decent terms to customers but here you are competing with credit cards? Or maybe offer discounts for paying using this service. Maybe you can offer a discount AND credit. I guess you'd need to find out how price sensitive the merchants and customers are. Experience suggests that small merchants are price sensitive to acquiring fees as they have minimum spend limits etc. Large retailers e.g. Tesco don't care so much.... though I was buying a car at the weekend and the dealer stopped accepting AMEX due to the acquiring fees... I guess they were cutting costs in the face of Corona Virus recession.

As you note, perhaps the app could collate all your receipts and warranties - could be useful. Itemised receipts would be particularly useful for some.

I imagine a company which offers this service (in the EU/UK) would be an open banking payment services provider. That is, customers add their bank account details and permit the service to "push" payments directly to retailers when they buy something via an API. Of course, customers would manually approve each payment via the app or whathaveyou.

Challenges: 1) how do you handle off-line payments? 2) how do you handle disputes?

On the history of merchant acquiring: maybe this helps: https://blog.thesharmas.org/2020/06/05/history-merchant-acqu...

Before the advent of anti-seizure drugs, the ketogenic diet [1] was an effective and widespread intervention used to treat epilepsy. The downside is the discipline required to keep intake of carbohydrates below 15 grams per day, especially in children.

Lost about the same amount but being less tall years ago without following a named diet.

I did quite a bit of research back then (reading up things as well as talking to people in the field) what to do. But basically the only things I found consensus on for long term effect are the very simplified intake less calories than you use rule and be consistent.

At least from my own experience I reckon the psycological aspect on you getting to enjoy or even prefer eating the new diet outweights details on how exactly they work in the body.

I think this is in part why Keto is so popular at the moment: even just the look of the dishes is much more appealing than what we typically thought of as diet meals.
What are the benefits of a fortune 500? Who are the beneficiaries? The main ones would be investors and management, including a subset of employees. Given the tax loopholes that are often taken advantage of, I would hardly say that the countries or cities they reside in are beneficiaries in as far as tax income, though they definitely have a hub effect of drawing people into the locations they are in. Whether that is beneficial for original inhabitants is debatable, given gentrification and increased inequality of those who the city warps around to serve, and those who serve them.

On the other hand, Europe has lower inequality amongst citizens, and an argument could be made to say that this increases happiness. What they are missing out on wrt fortune 500's is creativity that creates new technologies that pushes boundaries and revolutionizes the world (perhaps an oversimplification of the argument). Though they may not be at the forefront of this, it would be inaccurate to say that they do not benefit from innovations occurring in the world.

My argument is that they currently occupy the coveted position to benefit both from the inequality of other countries yet retain the benefits of a more equal society. Viewing the entire world as an unequal society, the winners would be the ones at the top of unequal countries, followed by the equal countries, with those at the bottom of unequal societies trailing. Ideally the entire world would all have equal societies, but in no situation would I think countries with equality strive for the benefits of those with unequality
