No fault divorce needs to go away when there are children involved. That is basically the end of it. Marriage is ultimately about creating family. You can't undo your marriage once you have a child anymore than you can undo your parentage or undo your relationship with a cousin. If mom and dad want to screw around with other people, their rights to do so obviously should not be restricted, but there should be no out from the marriage itself, except for cases of abuse or endangerment.

What does it say to a child to unmake the very thing that made them? How awful. The wisdom of the past says that the old way was simply superior, and we see that when we look at things like the mental health crisis, the lack of grit, the prevalence of anxiety disordes. Generations past would look at our current system and say the obvious -- which was said at the time no-fault divorce became a thing as well, just forgotten by this day -- that the prevalence of family dissolution causes severe, apparently unrelated social ills. We need to put the brake on really.

The article makes an argument for why you should consider Pixel series phones that still have official support from the vendor if you are in the market for Android phones.

While it may not have been the point of the article it gives no reason why you should consider CopperheadOS.

This is my perspective taking the article at face value as a complete layman in Hardware and OS security who cannot provide any critic or judgement on the technical content of the article.
I just don't think natively compiled Java is there yet. It's not trivial to get it working and the ecosystem isn't ready for it yet.

There are certain things that just work (i.e. quarkus, which I have a web service running on 13 mb of ram), but I have never been able to successfully compile to native on my own because of library dependencies. Getting things like Weld or H2 to work is pretty difficult.
It could become the go to way in the future. Google is definitely gauging the enthusiasm of their developer base to see where they move to. It is what happened with Kotlin in the first place.

And they aren't putting all of their eggs in the same basket as Jetpack Compose is now in active development and will, once ready, rival SwiftUI in functionality and power.

I hope there will be flexibility and support for both in the future. Flutter has its positives and negatives as everything else. Same can be said about native development.
What users tell you is irrelevant. They will tell you X and then do Y instead. You have to focus on what they do, so all you need to do is find a way to observe them.
Seems like a really good solution for amicable divorces. When there is a lot of conflict in the relationship, it's unlikely to work well. And really the latter describes most divorces I've seen. It seems like there is almost always one spouse who doesn't want to play well at the end.

Good point, however unlike Apple's model, if a hypothetical certified NPM repository was set up, there is still the open public repository. The freeform and experimental problem solving still occurs there. Developers could even benefit by being able to add the certified stamp to their public repositories if they so wished.

From the user's POV, opting to use the certified package repo would be a conscious decision and the trade-offs vs benefits should be well advertised. The service could also offer a "self certified" package facility to users if they understand the risks.

Now that I think about the potential downsides, would developers eschew dependencies to reduce the risk of losing a coveted "certified" badge, thereby undermining one of the more useful aspects of nodejs? Would developers get upset their code is included in a paid service and demand takedown or a revenue share? Fast forward a bunch of years, does this certification service become a looming spectre hovering over the node ecosystem and end up hurting what it was supposed to protect? Is the risk of a zero-day making it into the "official" repository too big for a startup to handle? Is it too much to ask users to simply "trust the process"? Would it just be too annoying for in-house developers to constantly have to battle missing and outdated dependencies as the certification team struggles to keep up with the constant stream of updates and new packages?

It would definitely require a lot of resources to set up and maintain, not to mention financial and legal finesse.

Maybe this is why I haven't come across such a service yet, maybe it's just in the too-hard basket or something. Interesting to think about though.
For reference, a 435MB web access log with about 3 million lines takes:

* lnav about 4 seconds to index[1] and display

* vim about a second to display

* emacs about 3 seconds to display

This is on a late 2013 27-inch iMac with a 3.5Ghz i7 and the file cached.

[1] - Indexing in lnav involves parsing all log lines to extract their timestamp and log level (status codes in this case)
For those who saw this and wondered about Racket on Chez, the latest update in from February 2020: https://blog.racket-lang.org/2020/02/racket-on-chez-status.h...

Tl;dr: production ready, not the default, usually much faster
The problem is that marriage is one of those very few relationships that's design to be all-in or not exist at all. Even signing something like a prenup is seen as incredibly suspicious. All your financial decisions have to be based on the fact that you and your partner are going to stay together til death do you part.
Not limited to developed countries either. Urban India has laws that are utterly stacked against men, a woman can easily destroy your life if she wants to and does happen. Trying to undo historical injustice does not mean skewing the system against an entire gender but that is where we are.

While the rotation of the earth is one of the primary reasons for the spacing, the hemisphere does matter for Voyager. From the article: "As Voyager 2 is heading southwards compared to Earth's orbital plane, only a dish south of the equator can send the probe a sufficiently powerful signal."
Reddit etc are basically games.
As I’ve gotten older I have come to realize more and more that the world is a terrible place filled with terrible people doing terrible things? Is that just me, or is that a universal sign of aging?
This does not mean much without the context. On the top, it is usually the libraries where most of the speed is wasted. In Java you can create HFT programms yet an average Hadoop project is 10 - 50 times slower in terms of latency for a specific operation. It is not a problem with the JVM of Java as a language as much it is a problem with code quality in user libraries.
Then the matter will very likely go to the Supreme Court.
I didn't quit FB, but I stopped looking at it. I maintained it strictly to organize group events which it was very useful for. The feed, however, has become garbage (as demonstrated again when I perused it this morning for grins).
My point is that he’s calling certain costs fixed that I would call marginal. For COGS or data centers you have to choose something to amortize over. For a traditional good, it’s the lifecycle of the physical product. For a data center, you could amortize it relative to its capacity, maybe? Or cost per ad dollar sold, rather than per query? It really depends on the question you’re asking, as fixed or marginal is really fixed or marginal with respect to some factor. It’s unclear what the correct way to do it is, but it’s clear to me that calling it fixed is wrong, relative to the specific points he’s making.

I’d look at how AWS looks at its data center costs and apply that model. Google Search may not be renting infra to searchers, but that’s not the important distinction.
This is astonishingly paranoid, even conspiracy-theory promoting. The writer claims at several points that divorce law in Italy is (allegedly) unfair because judges know that fathers typically have more resources to engage in litigation appealing bad judgments, and hence more lawyers and domestic violence clinics will get paid. Where is the evidence for such an over-the-top accusation?

The fact of the matter is that divorce is terrible, and there's no good way to allocate resources after the fact. Of course there isn't---divorce is fundamentally the destruction of all kinds of financial assets (all the economies of scale in the marriage) and the upsetting of huge social, financial, and geographic commitments, even without children being involved. Of course everyone is going to be dissatisfied with however the courts divide that poisoned pie.
> There were plenty of people liberal enough or cheap enough to live in a black neighborhood. Many tried. But they wound up 100% black/0% white anyway.

No, I think when put to the test most liberal people would not do this. If they "tried", why did those neighborhoods wind up 100% black?

Where I grew up, for instance, the second best school in the city (by test scores, at least) was 99% black (mostly the children of alums of a nearby HBCU). White parents would send their kids to worse performing schools with more white kids over sending their kids to that school.
The court should rule with a bias in favour of the person who had to sacrifice their career to care for the children, regardless of their gender.
I only trust posts on Reddit from usernames that are > 5y old and have less than 3000 karma (unfortunately, this means I wouldn't trust my own account(s) lol). Similar to how 4 star and 2 star reviews on Amazon are infinitely more informational to understand the real pros and cons.
I wish I read this years ago. Hiten is a gem.

While "make something people want," is a good North Star, in a time when making stuff if relatively easy and competition is crazy, this is a great primer on how to keep your sanity while also making something customers actually want.
> Ant is definitely not a pyramid scheme, if you've ever been to China you'd know.

I have been to China. As a foreigner I was not able to use any digital cash technologies (such as WeChat or Alipay). Did you have a Chinese bank account? How were you able to use Ant tech?
You don't have to use the nix lang, Dockerfiles are much easier to get started working with.
I hope we can both agree the standards of measurement for doctors and economists are not exactly comparable, given that one is just "is the patient better" and the other can be judged in any way imaginable. Is the economist macro, micro, do their solutions add to income inequality, or reduce it? The field of economics is clearly much more mercenary than the field of medicine.
Any studies that can support your claims that the mental health crisis, lack of grit etc. are due to divorce?
That becomes somewhat circular. It is impossible to reduce the social pressures on women to parent without simultaneously reducing the social pressures on men not to parent.

Clearly in this case, the man wanted to parent. The thing stopping him was the power of the court’s decision.

In the presence of a legal framework like this the only reasonable choice for a man is to assume he is expected not to parent, since that is what the courts will enforce.

The legislature acts to change other kinds of discriminatory legal framework, and this is no different.
No, the courts should impose their will on society in situations where equality needs to be enforced. Just imagine if the process you're describing had been used to stop segregation in the United States.

> polyamorous marriage

I use to say those are O(n!) when they work, O(n!!) when they fall apart.
I don't know if I would refer to that as "variance" in the safety. A person can only die once, which puts a hard upper-bound on that.

Variance in the death rate of events, maybe.
"This is empirically false"

It isn't. It is accounting fact. Every currency held outside its borders is a foreigner saving that currency. That's all a reserve is.

Lots of people like to hold US dollars. Fewer Argentine pesos even within the country.

Actually having fewer people hold you currency makes it easier to run. You just make your budget in that currency balanced by increasing taxes. If you have lots of people saving your currency then let them - and accommodate the savings.
One time... Okay.

Also, my dig wasn't at economists as individuals, but the pseudoscience called economics as a whole.

There is a difference between a "mistake" like oops gave you the wrong medicine by accident and a pseudoscience like chinese medicine.

And the internet prediction, asian financial crisis, housing bubble, etc aren't "mistakes"? It's just shows "serious economists" are just charlatans. The priests of modern era.
We've had Trump as President for four years, and it seems like most people have forgotten how incredibly unlikely that seemed in August or even October. Trump himself was laying the groundwork for launching a TV network until things changed quite dramatically at the end of October with Jim Comey and some other factors.

Taleb seems to be arguing that 90% confidence was crazy given what eventually happened, with the benefit of hindsight, but that does seem to ignore just how crazy the idea of a Trump presidency seemed before it happened.
It's a good question, but I think one of the issues is that physical networks are a natural monopoly in the same way as most public utilities, so it's not just about enabling more competition but about establishing a regulatory framework around that competition, much like exists with airports and railways. OR, alternatively, changing to a public sector provision model like plumbing or roads.

What actually bothers me the most is the rules that (in most places) prohibit cities and towns from offering new municipal broadband service as a competitive offering. This used to be more common in smaller towns that had not been able to get good commercial service, and it adds valuable options and competition, but my understanding is that it's extremely hard for cities who don't already have municipal broadband to start offering it now.
That’s actually not a good example, because the follow up analysis actually confirms the initial result. ALH84001 is actually some pretty good evidence for fossilized Martian life.

What happened though was that they went public early with too little information, because they were worried about being scooped in the media. When they got asked questions that they didn’t have answers to, the result started to look like it was on shaky grounds. The opinion was formed that it was a bad result. After that it was pretty hard to get anyone to pay attention after that. Follow-on results pretty much confirmed the original result though.

(Astrobiology was my field ~10 years ago.)
Yeah definitely feeling on the same page. I've seen a lot of writing on the web about "novelty" budgets, etc. I know people argue that really expressive languages are a secret weapon (and I definitely think that Java as I was writing it years ago wasted a lot of my time), but I think haven't a great ecosystem is also a (not secret, but) secret weapon.
Wait, I thought Spotify was a champion of fairness and level playing fields.

> it did make me think about just how easy it is to farm karma on Reddit

I think you put in far more effort in writing that script, than the average karma-farmer puts in.

Far easier to just repost photos without attribution.
> ... scientists themselves weren't sensationalizing their findings ...

Yeah right.

They were saying things like "please prove us wrong" while doing interview rounds, and (I'm sure) celebrating, loving and looking forward to more and more limelight, so strictly speaking they were not "sensationalizing their findings".

In a related story, OJ and Casey Anthony did not kill anyone.
Distributions who have built GPG keychecks into the process use the keyparts distributed by themselves; meaning that on RHEL systems (and the clones - CentOS, OracleLinux, etc.) use the GPG keyparts delivered via the vendor "release" packages sitting in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/, an Arch system uses "archlinux-keyring" which populates /use/share/pacman/keyrings/ and so forth. A 3rd party vendor source (think Nginx, Percona MySQL, Zabbix, etc.) who runs their own yum repo provides their own trusted GPG key and signs their packages with their key, so you install the "foobarvendor-release" package which contains their keys.

System package installs then do a GPG check against those known good keyparts from trusted vendors which you've allowed and stop you when you have an unsigned package (being a bit light on detail here, each distribution handles it their own way). So the NPM (or Artifactory, etc.) ecosystem could invent an installable package of their GPG keys, and require all packages sourced from their server to be signed with this key -- this is how the EPEL 3rd party community repo works for example. These are all based on trusted humans having access to the signing keys and process, so there are layers of vetted/known folks required (not just anyone can walk into Mordor here).

This does not work though for some Linux distributions such as Ubuntu due to their original design. Debian/Ubuntu systems for example are at somewhat of a disadvantage here; from the beginning the DEB system design has eschewed GPG signing individual packages and instead sign repositories (which tends to also get disable/ignored if even used), they're at least now recommending HTTPS around apt which is nice.
I think this is an important skill that enough people don't cultivate nowadays.

At some level there's always going to be some dependencies unless you literally bootstrap the universe from first principles. And people like to use that as a rationalization for why they shouldn't bother going a little bit lower level than they normally would.

I recently put together my own personal blog after years of putting it off and letting domains go unused. I've thought about using Hugo, Jekyll, even Wordpress. But I just hated the thought of everything extra that comes with them.

But I also didn't want to handwrite all of my HTML, manually move files around, etc. So instead I wrote my own thing in about 20 lines of bash. Super easy to comprehend and I can fit it to exactly what I'm doing. It feels nicer versus typical Node stuff I do where it feels like I'm stuffing clowns in a car.

I'm a big fan of both Ben Thompson and Tim Wu. One of Wu's specific critiques is my biggest disagreement I have with Thompson, and is a train of thought that seems to be dogma in Silicon Valley Twitter.

Wal-Mart putting their own brand of toilet paper on more prominent end cap shelves is fundamentally different than Amazon promoting their own Amazon Basics toilet paper on a search results page on Amazon.com. Amazon has a much greater ability to drive conversion to its own products than a brick-and-mortar retailer (e.g. limited screen space, UI, information hierarchy, better data, etc.)

Thompson's argument that "it's all the same," "private labeling has been going on forever," is flimsy and intellectually lazy.

Once we agree on this basic set of facts the more interesting question becomes: is this dynamic bad for consumers long-term?

The crux of this round of tech anti-trust scrutiny is time horizon. Many of these practices are neutral or beneficial to consumers in the short-term, but that's always how monopolies operate. Undercutting prices to put a competitor out of business benefit consumers immediately, but hurt consumers after the competitor goes out of business and the monopolist can raise prices. Amazon selling Amazon Basics products at a loss or near-loss is good for customers now, but if it puts too many other online retailers out of business, eventually they'll raise prices and hurt consumers.
This did happen recently in Florida; see Brenda Snipes.
Some people in the creative field have sense and don't respect DRM. Check Lexy Alexander's posts on this topic. Check also releases by CD Projekt Red and their DRM-free games store GOG.

We need something like this to eventually succeed and disrupt current messed up DRM situation in video too:

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/introducing_gogcom_drmfree...

DRM is and will remain unethical, no matter how much its proponents will try to whitewash it with demagoguery, claiming it's "part of life now".

And for the reference, DRM doesn't do anything good for creators. It's always a crooked tool, especially when combined with policy laundering that produces stuff like DMCA 1201.
Lowland Multimodality Detection
yes, and I agree with that.

But I also feel like the language is mainly used in a type of business environments that are already tied to .NET infrastructure anyway, and who actually appreciate the interlock.

And it could get much more traction outside of that circle, especially in the open source world.
It seems cyclical. There was a time when it was "written in Go" that was on the bingo card. I remember this being an original hype point for docker, for instance.

I do agree that I'd rather see the technology choice not highlighted so much, though. But it really is a proxy for some things that matter to me: if it is in Rust, I expect it to be a single binary I can easily install and which starts up quickly and performs well (as opposed to, say, javascript, python, ruby, or java programs), but is likely to suffer very few security problems (as opposed to, say, a C or C++ program), and has a decent shot at growing an active community, which I may be able to contribute to. A lot of these things apply to other technologies (like the aforementioned Go) as well, but it I do feel like I get some information by knowing the technology.

Maybe the better approach would be to enumerate benefits rather than saying what the technology is, even if the benefits flow from the technology choice.
Wait, a web developer makes 1600 Euros but a "shop assistant" makes 3/4 of that?
