> The problem with that is two-fold: first, the median childcare worker is less concerned with the child’s long-term success than is the median parent

Two of my siblings are primary school teachers (that is, for kids who come right out of kindergarten; not sure how this is called in the US/elsewhere), and from the stories I've heard from them, they'd argue heavily against your points.

I think you're underestimating how many families are completely dysfunctional, or where the parents are overwhelmed with taking care of their children, even under normal situations, let alone during the current pandemic. For example; where I live, it's unfortunately still often the case that schools do not take care of lunch for the kids (they are supposed to go home during lunch breaks) and the amount of times where teachers have to wonder whether the kids had anything to eat at all for lunch (sometimes because nobody is at home and they didn't feel hungry at the time or had only junk available) is astounding.

Childcare workers are trained and certified for their job (that's at least the case in my country); and yes, while they have many kids around and thus might not have as much interest in an individual kid as a parent might have, they at least have to uphold a certain level of competence in order to keep their jobs (essentially, like the rest of us - be good enough at your job or search something else), while a parent stays a parent, no matter how bad they are at it.
I recently did my part to speed up my site: https://anonyfox.com/blog/need-for-speed/

So i‘d assume that it‘s possible to make „the Web“ really fast, especially when factoring in the improvements of network/cpu over the years.
Besides it is not trivial to repurpose natural gas storage for hydrogen - you need an entirely different level of tightness, you would be disappointed about the amount of energy you can store this way, as hydrogen is way less dense than natural gas, so the capacity of the storage would be poor.
Right, the thing to worry about is power, not energy. Ideally the pumps would be sized to fill/drain lake Powell in 12 hours. Which is ludicrous. The turbines in the Glenn Canyon Dam have a max (output) capacity of 890m^3/s [0]. It would take just over a year to drain the reservoir through them.

I feel like the “managing burnout” articles and discussions here on HN add to that too. Even when given incentive via a salary it can be mentally or emotionally hard to stay motivated at one’s job. I appreciate that articles like this are helping us understand why people like to do things better.
Some very thoughtful points. Also echoed in "Working in Public" by Nadia Eghbal
100% agree. We need a new platform like https://tic80.com but with more capability.

Someone wrote a whole kernel for Tic80 on RPi : https://github.com/msx80/BareMetalTic80

I can imagine a modern retro computer with modest specs running on A8 processor, in a compact form, with a super minimal kernel and TCP stack that can do 90% of tasks we need to do today.

Checking weather, ordering delivery, booking tickets, reading email, chatting, calls, etc.

I want this to exist!

That's a fantastic question, I would love to know that as well. My worrying suspicion is that yes, you are. I've never heard of prosecutors needing to prove knowledge for drug posession charges.

Even if storers aren't liable, there's a very high chance you would be arrested and potentially charged, and the charges would later be dropped. Assuming we're talking about a big illegal thing here like child pornography or large amounts of drugs, that is. I don't see any way the police seize something like that and don't arrest anyone at the scene.

We are having precisely the same convo in my family, in the Czech republic.

My wife is from Prague. A gem of a city, but unaffordable. Too much speculative capital from Russia, China etc. Being a slave of a mortgage until 70 is a ghastly prospect.

I am from Ostrava, a post-industrial city where property prices are about a third of Prague level. Incomes are lower, but not that much lower. For an accountant (my wife is), the difference is about 10 per cent. Overall, much easier to sustain middle class life standard.

She does not like the idea of leaving her native city, but if we manage to have a child (still a very open question), we will have to, at least for a few years.
Even before COVID, work was my sanity time—my sanctuary. A place with clear goals, a structured path to convert effort into success, a place where I am relatively respected and know what I’m doing. Home with children is more of a messy, emotional, soft-skill-driven, chaotic zoo. Getting a little time off to do more of that is not really a vacation.
The counter argument is that the Academy reports to no one but themselves and can set whatever standard they want for their own award show.
Right, I think we will convert any hydrogen produced via electrolysis to methane for better storage. That methane would be completely compatible with the storage/distribution/usage infrastructure which many countries already have in place. I was commenting on the statement, that hydrogen by itself is easily stored.
Given how we've so far failed to deal with our nuclear waste in a reasonable way, after decades of opportunity to figure it out, I think it's a mistake to call that a "minor problem".

I don't know much about solar waste handling, though someone upthread suggests there's a French company that can recycle 95% of the components of retired solar panels with the remaining 5% going to other uses. Of course, no idea how much that process costs, but I'd bet it's nowhere near as hazardous to deal with as nuclear, and doesn't have any of the nuclear security requirements since I don't expect people can make nuclear bombs out of retired solar panels.

>If you don't like the App Store, don't use an iPhone

This is not the main issue, its on the other end. If you are a developer, and you don't like the App Store, you have no options. You can't publish on an alt store because those are not allowed. So your only option is to not provide services to 50% of your customers and thats assuming the google play store doesn't have the same issue you are avoiding.

A real world example of this is vape companies provide an app which lets you do things like lock your vape so kids can't use it. Apple said those apps are not allowed on the app store. The vape company has no options, they just can't sell products to apple users now.

The problem is these tech companies hold way to much power. It would be like if 2 landlords owned literally every single block of land in the entire country. Now normally it would be fair for the landlord to pick which types of businesses to rent out to but when both options say your business isn't accepted and the only alternative is to build your own island in the ocean and create a civilisation on it so you can open your store then something is seriously wrong.
Ironically, this years best picture winner would still be eligible. With every single member of its cast, and very nearly every single member of its crew belonging to the same ethnic group.
It's probably true that you can't always do both, but I'm not seeing how it wouldn't be possible with something like Optimizely.

Power to gas is promising. Just generate hydrogen or methane and feed it into existing gas pipelines. Storage infrastructure for gas already exists and has several TWh of capacity.

Can you really blame the academy though? They've been hammered pretty much non stop by comedians and popular media that they're not inclusive enough with absolutely no one defending them probably in fear of getting canceled. And once this happens, everybody throws their hands up and says no that's not really what we wanted. The real issue here is that everybody's got a mouth these days...
Yes, they can jerk each other off in the corner and no one cant stop them.
AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine trial suspended: Live news
For supposedly international awards, this is ridiculously American. I wonder what happens with foreign movies. Is parasites passing the threshold for having Asian actors, despite Asians obviously not being a minority in korea?

Also, what about introversive movies with a extremely small cast? (The usual Oscar bait of "character gets stuck in a mountain/island/wherever"). Does 30% of your single actor have to be a minority?

It sounds super ridiculous that you have to wonder about this kind of questions, like it will inevitably lead to worsen the tokenization of characters that Hollywood is already infamous for, and harmful for indie companies.
I really don't want to die on this hill! It's an example of a behavior I'd engage in if the wokepatrol wasn't there. I don't even speak English at work, I speak French, and we commonly use the words "maître" and "esclave" in that instance.

Whenever any work-environment friction will arise, I'll stop using those words for sure, I value my job more than I value terminology.

Precisely! "Conspiracy" requires a secretive element, whereas the media conglomerates are quite open with their goals to make everyone consume more media in order for them to make more money.
You would only have to print half as much money, if you use solar+wind+storage.

What would the effects of changing the student loan system be? I assume you mean to increase the creditor's risk to levels comparable to other types of debt. Personally, I'd expect that to result in higher interest rates for student debt, and more stringent eligibility requirements. IOW, a higher barrier to entry to education.

Maybe that would be good, it depends on how the price of education would react, and in whether a high level of education is seen as a positive or not.
If I want to protect against the NSA I'm worried about them using Intel ME, AMD PSP and other black boxes to hack me. I don't worry that much about them sneaking into my data center or house and physically changing my hardware.

The security you lose from having a black box in your CPU is much greater than the security you win by virtue of being (theoretically) protected against unsigned bootloaders and rogue hardware.
Yes. All these stuff needs to be taken care by provincial govt as per 18th amendment which transfers power to provinces but some how incompetent Sind govt blames the center.

It was about the market being difficult to enter. If you disagree, prove me: I hereby pledge to buy one CPU (needs to be a custom design) + mainboard designed and manufactured by supernova87a, and am willing to pay 800 US$, due 3m after delivery, conditional: It runs my Linux &Windows software like a, and performs at least equally or better than a, then-new system costing up to 400US$ (for cpu+mb, so today something like a Ryzen 1600). This agreement expires on 1.1.2025 0:00 UTC. Your call, do you agree? - Edit, also for balancing reasons: What do I get from you if you fail?

(Since I know you're not getting a x86 license that's an easy call for me - I know for sure you're unable to tap into that market)
Unfortunately this mostly comes from my professional projects as Android developer and large-scale profiling data. It was confirmed by many devices I got to debug and "fix" when slowed down, but that's more anectodal.

I don't really have links to actual research on phones though - although eMMC degradation is a pretty researched topic itself.

What I really want that isn't there in POSIX is not directly a file system feature but something more general: I really want some sort of "middleware-system" to intercept all sorts of events (like file system access, binary execution, network or device access etc.). There should be multiple intercepting programs that handle one or more events each and can decide to block or pass the event to the next interceptor. They could also log or modify parameters of the event (like redirect a file read or wrap a binary that's about to be executed in another program like script or torsocks).

You could even use this system to implement some Unix features as interceptors: Shebangs and even file system permissions could be handled this way. You could also implement containers with this or provide some kind of "switchboard" UI akin to uMatrix for letting the user decide on permissions.
His argument is that the law should prevent this kind of abuse. That’s the ideology itself.
It's not diverse. That word is code for "fewer white and Asian people". The same people who profess diversity think that Black Panther and Moonlight had diverse casts.

I think this is the crux of the artists' complaints: you can't conquer a mature, diverse market with a one-trick pony. Back in the day, the 300k audience your game (or song, or art) had was a very large chunk of everyone that's into a new medium. Today, a sequel to that work could gather a 3M audience, but then the artists look at the market being 300M strong and weep, instead of being satisfied with "merely" 10x the audience.

There is a lot of talk about the extra hours non-parents are finding themselves working but I have found most of my resentment comes from the reduced ability to get things done.

With half my team taking some kind of pandemic related leave or reduced hours we're just simply ineffective and treading water. That's just a fact the rest of us have to deal with but you can't deny that it's disappointing if you're motivated by achievement.

Which is fine, as many regions have a strong seasonal availability of renewables. Storing energy for some months will be required to go fully renewable. There are also short term storage requirements, over the course of a day or a week.

As an European, I find this _extremely_ weird, and almost as biased as what it purports to counteract.

What if ($DIVINITY forbid) someone decides to do a movie about N.Y. stockbrokers in the 80s, or about the sole survivor of an expedition/starship/civilization? Do animals/aliens/octopi count as “diverse” cast members?

I haven’t had coffee yet so I’m thinking off the cuff, but of all the recent movies I’ve watched/intend to see, only Mulan (which I haven’t watched) would qualify on the first three counts.

Also, I can see a lot of writers and movie directors going “I want to tell my story in my own way and not tick someone else’s arbitrary boxes”. Creativity is like that.
Here are two paintings.

[1] https://cdn8.openculture.com/2018/08/22215450/sciencde-and-c...

[2] https://painting-planet.com/images/9/image293.jpg

Painting [1] demonstrates a mastery of light, shadow, and color. It's complicated. It's full of detail. Anybody who walked by this in an art gallery would surely think, "This person is a great artist" and move on. Painting [2] will most likely be called a great painting by most people, but that's because most people have seen it at some point and know who painted it. This person has a massive reputation as one of the greatest artists of all time. People who walk by this in a museum will stop and snap a picture and take a minute to really look at it because, hey, this guy is super famous, so he must be great.

But [2] is clearly painted much faster than [1] and has far less fine detail. A person who doesn't know anything about painting [2] or the artist behind it will probably say something like "anyone could do this. Even I could do that"--but it was a revolutionary style at the time because people didn't do it. [1] was merely fitting into a more established framework of art and was far less likely to blow minds, even though a typical person without foreknowledge might be more likely to compliment [1] on being a "good" painting than [2].

And many might know this, but [1] was painted by the artist when he was a child. [2] was painted by him as a full-fledged artist as an adult. The reduction in realism and complexity in favor of abstraction was an intentional progression for his work.

These simple poems don't need to be as complex as Shakespeare. They're not trying to be. They serve an entirely different purpose. People are still writing long, epic poems even today, but it's a vastly explored field of art and demand for new material in that style is quite low. Not every one word poem is going to be mind-blowing, but some definitely grab some interest. There are plenty of people, even well-read people, who find Shakespeare tedious. There are people who think a page with nothing but "cricket" is fluff. Both kinds of art can coexist.
Ok, 100K simultaneous online players is nothing to sniff at for any game. That's a success, that's a hit. Might not be a triple platinum mega hit but a hit nonetheless.
Frontend developers are at fault for all this. There, I said it.

Great software at great (big) prices. I mean if minecraft would have been published in the 90s it would prob cost 80$ which is 160$ in todays money (making up numbers here) instead of 10$. It is harder and more expensive to make software in constraint environments.
Sounds like tyranny to me. All of this imposition to force the market leaders to change instead of championing other champions. Nobody was giving mind to Apple when Rim and Nokia and Sony were the big players. Apple just made a better device that the market liked more. There will be a new better thing to come along it just needs to be invented.
Thanks for pointing out the misleading headline. I double-checked your dollar value for total US mortgage debt and it’s in line with what the Fed reports. [1]

As funny as it sounds, we're watching the formation of "progressive fundamentalists" - their "inclusion committee" would give people a low social score if their skin isn't black enough, or their gender is too male or sexual orientation is too straight. And inquisition, of course, would be watching for heretics and send them to "inclusion re-education camps".
I'm in the trial. We all got little cards with our trial number to keep in our wallet. If we get seriously ill or end up in a hospital, there's a number for the doctor to call to unblind us if necessary. So there is definitely a procedure in place.

Even if the person got the vaccine, the illness could be unrelated. They need time to investigate and this is the proper procedure to follow. This happened once before earlier in the trial, but it wasn't reported as widely and there want a media frenzy.

There is nothing wrong with the media reporting this, but it would be great if the media was better at contextualizing information instead of maximizing clicks with scary headlines.
