I'd think a contributing factor is production delays due to Coronavirus related supply-chain impacts and that it isn't just limited to freezers. Anecdotally, a HomeDepot sales person told me recently that Bosch dishwashers are backordered until February due to a interruption in bolt manufacturing.

Reiterating what KMag wrote below:

For some, publicly declaring your commitment to one another can have a powerful affect on the relationship. It can communicate a shared vision and commitment for a lifetime. It is not requisite for that commitment, but it leverages cultural support structures that can help keep a relationship healthy.

For me personally, I believe marriage provides a couple with an important concept that they are part of something greater than themselves. This is not an exclusively religious idea (I consider myself an atheist). When times are difficult (and they will be over the course of a lifetime), this bond can help a relationship survive when otherwise the pressure to give up can be significant.

A mixed bag depending on your incomes. There used to be a marriage penalty for similar-income dual-earner households, but that was mostly erased with TCAJ (2017). (There's still a marriage penalty for very high dual-earner households.)

I don't think most people get married for tax reasons.
> I don't understand why someone has more financial assets than their partner would marry.

They generally don’t, and it’s shown in the data where higher earning couples marry each other. But it’s not strictly about money, the spouse can also be bringing outsized looks, family wealth, connections, or other achievements.
I've always wondered how many of these "luxury prepper communities" would wind up with the hired security taking the place for themselves in a genuine catastrophe.
Prepping is just insurance. I buy life insurance so my family is taken care of in the unlikely event that I die. I have some stored food, water, etc. in the unlikely event that there's a temporary disruption in my ability to get those things.
Just C. The various “restrict equivalents” in C++ are non-standard.

I think you're being uncharitable to preppers. Most of the ones I know are into camping, and as such, have basically all of A) and D). Many of them are into SAR/EMT stuff and so have B). C) is just normal to have in many rural areas of the US.

I too live in NorCal and am appalled by the glib headline on this NG article. We are encouraged to have emergency supplies ready in the event of catastrophe, the whole 'preppers are idiots' but a few aren't is really unhelpful and short sighted.

The "antifa bus" incident in Forks, WA this year was eye opening on how the peanut butter of small-town corruption can mix with the chocolate of spoiling for a fight paranoia to turn any situation into absolute madness very quickly.

The lone prepper holed up with their canned food and guns is the substrate ideology of the American Civil Religion taken to its conclusion. It's, uh, gross. Not a fan!!
Speaking for me, a 200 ms delay would be too much when values are fetched on demand. And I assume it‘s higher outside the US?

Imagining a mobile app, adding a 200ms delay to a screen transition that would otherwise not fetch data would not be ok. If it fetches other data, it may be fine. I would rather have the relevant values fetched in the background before they are read.

Because of the latency sensitivity I would probably try to hack this together on cloudflare workers+KV if I needed it. I would expect <100ms latency in most cases on that.

I think this is a general worthwhile service, especially the focus on CMS/copy over feature flag tools, but low latency would be something I would look for in a feature list.
For a software developer, 2 weeks worth of food isn't too bad on a budget, but could literally be a life saver in some situations, or even just soften the blow if I lost a job.
I like how Gruber put it:

“Pro”, in Apple’s parlance, also simply means “more expensive”.
Correct, this is what I meant. Even though they're technically different concepts, I've found in practice they're almost always coupled together.

FWIW, these days I usually do go with GraphQL over REST in my APIs, partially due to some of the advantages you get from separating the queries and mutations. But like you said, I prefer to ultimately store the info in a DB in one consistent format unless it's absolutely unavoidable. Sometimes it is unavoidable, but like the article mentions you can frequently get away with having a "Reporting Database" separate to your "Primary data" database.

Once you start spreading your data across multiple databases and storing it in different structures managed by different apps with different APIs, suddenly getting to even eventual consistency can quickly become a non-trivial problem, which itself is usually solved or mitigated by adding more complexity.

Sometimes this complexity really is required because of incredibly large scale, large/numerous engineering teams working on one project, or unique business requirements - but my original point was that for most cases, particularly new products/projects that aren't going to have 10M+ daily users from launch, you should keep it simple until you know for a fact that it needs the complexity of a full CQRS + event sourcing system.
>Kind of highlights that in this age, it's not enough to say "I'm neutral." You need to be able to say "I can guarantee that I'm neutral."

>The difference is that the latter promise doesn't break when a malicious actor has access. Consider two VPNs, one of which promises never to misuse client-side IP data, while the other refuses to store that data in the first place.

Why do you trust either company? Can you verify the claim that no data is logged intentionally or potentially even accidentally? Even companies that have been taken to court and shown an inability to produce logs in the past could have made recent changes behind the scenes that change this. There is a huge degree of information asymmetry when it comes to VPN providers and as a result you shouldn't completely trust them if logging is a make or break issue for you.
>And you can buy antibiotics that are sold for pets that happen to be the same as the antibiotics manufactured for human

Yes, but there's a quality control aspect there that makes one a touch uncomfortable. My fish getting a little something extra in their amoxicillin is something I stress far less about then if I'm the one taking the pill.
It's not so much that Python is gibberish but that is written, as far as I know, predominantly by engineers, who aren't really experts in statistics, or experts in science for that matter. A scientist will tend to trust more code written by another scientist than code written by an engineer. At least, I would.
Maybe, but note that this is the Intel MKL. A library developed and maintained by Intel. It is not a secret that Intel does this to support their ecosystem and have been caught intentionally crippling support for AMD processors in the past [1]. Intel has recently been adding better support for AMD processors [2], but many suspect that is intended to help x86 as a whole better compete with ARM. If it does get ported, it is highly unlikely to have competitive performance.

Is it? Dell sells a $1499 laptop with 8GB. They also have 16GB models, but once you add specs equivalent to the new MacBook (at least i7, SSD, 13") the prices are $1299 and above (and you get a plastic box, not exactly the same build quality, trackpad, etc - though you do get a probabl better camera and more ports).

Quick summary (obviously not comprehensive) relevant for self-interested white working class voter:

Relevant Democract policy: Minimum wage(+), Healthcare(+), Progressive Taxation (+), Affirmative Action (Diversity Ban)/California Prop 12 stuff (-)

Relevant Republican policy:Minimum wage(-), Healthcare(-), Progressive Taxation (-). Affirmative Action (Diversity Ban)/California Prop 12 stuff (+)

Relevant Democract Rhetoric: You are white supremacist deplorable hillbillies

Relevant Republican Rhetoric: You are "real" Americans and the backbone of this country

Which one would a white working class voter prefer?

Keep in mind the rhetoric is experienced every day in the relevant news/social media, whereas policy decisions and impacts are not... Even if most Democracts don't use that kind of language, it's the language that gets headlines and is reported/retweeted.

Finally, many policy consensus issues (with mainstream Republican and Democract support) such as military spending, worker hostile trade agreements, etc... mean that policy differences may not be as large as they appear. I also put healthcare as a (+), but often things like Obamacare may appear as a burden to many healthy working class voters.
You can also render water relatively safe to drink using small amounts of bleach. I've done it a few times whilr camping. EPA.gov has instructions for it, you only need a few drops of bleach per gallon (roughly 3.75L) of water. One large bottle of bleach is enough to purify water for months at least.

In terms of core count (4 performance cores, 4 efficient cores, 8 GPU cores) it’s the tier of hardware used in the iPad Pro, except those are currently based on the A12 instead of the A14.

But yeah, I agree they must have a roadmap past these limitations. When we get a 16” MBP I’d bet on it having more RAM and 4 thunderbolt ports. They’ve launched the low end machines with M1 first because this is a first step in the M-processors, and it’s the first time they’ve had any sort of thunderbolt controller with this architecture.

Makes me wonder if any of these changes will make their way back to the iPad Pro. Right now they’re USB-C without thunderbolt, but the new iPad Air is getting awfully close to the iPad Pro’s territory. Thunderbolt support and being able to drive a 6K display would be an interesting differentiator.

As a father of small kids, the danger of owning a gun are manifold: kids finding guns and playing with them; burglars who use your guns against you; “accidents” due to mishandling; the risk of marital arguments becoming fatal... the dangers can outweigh benefits.

As a former soldier I respect firearms enough not to buy them unless I can safeguard them. And many people can’t or won’t.
It goes both ways. I can see what you're saying, but on the other hand I look at the sheer panic some communities experienced at the fear of running out of toilet paper and the anxiety people have over what might come next, and I just can't relate because I haven't missed the slightest beat in 2020. From simply going camping regularly, being involved in community emergency plans, and always buying in bulk to ensure I have a buffer, I think things could get several orders of magnitude worse before I'm even slightly inconvenienced.

Local 911 stops responding to calls because they're overwhelmed during riots? Not to worry - that wilderness EMT course and the kit I built after it should cover most things life threatening things reasonably well. Grocery store is cleaned out or shut down for weeks? I'll just go check the basement shelves. Local school can't open without enough PPE? Oh I can supply a bunch of teachers with N95 masks for weeks and still have plenty for myself. All the utilities could shut down, and I could keep my family and several neighbors comfortable and safe for quite some time.

I was a little less carefree than most people before this, but boy I'm relatively carefree now. There's been some real hardship for people in this pandemic that few could prepare for, but I was surprised how few people were prepared to have to stay in their home for a couple of weeks in areas that are routinely hit by natural disasters that might place a similar burden on them at any time. Now's a good time to evaluate if you can deal with other things that might happen: an ounce of preparation.

I'm not advocating that people stay in abusive relationships. I am aware of how common abuse can be. My original comment said "safety and sanity of course require separation in cases."

What I am advocating for is for spouses in a strained relationship not to consider divorce a solution that removes a problem from their life.

What can happen very often is that it removes the problem from the spouses and places the burden of the problem onto the children.

And then, of course, the children cannot discuss it because it is the child's fault that they have issues with their parents divorce (which is always very friendly and amicable).

That's exactly what they're suggesting. You forget what "high earners" are and aren't. It is not the super-rich since the assets of the super-rich don't actually amount to that much compared to the total.

The state taxes where the lion's share of TOTAL wealth is (not wealth per person). That's the income of the middle class. That's why another new tax on income is suggested.

https://media.nationalpriorities.org/uploads/revenue_pie%2C_...

So middle class income represents 80% of the total tax income (and that's ignoring that customs duties and excise taxes also mostly come from that bucket, then we'd easily get to 85%)

"High earners" are generally defined as anyone earning more than double the average income in the country. For the US that's anyone making $62k2 = $120k per household*. Or for an individual that would be a chunk above that $62k, let's say $68k. All figures before tax, of course.
Of course you COULD just pay them a reasonable fee for their service.
There is disaster preparedness and then there is prepping, the two don't match each other. Most self-proclaimed preppers advocate atrocious "us or them" social darwinist ideologies and have policies that could get them and others killed. For example, many of them think it's a good idea to go camping in the woods in case of a natural disaster, which almost never makes any sense. They also frequently talk about shooting strangers instead of helping them and stockpile ammunition instead of antibiotics. They also should worry more about dental care and less about other people.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but as rule of thumb I'd stay away from any US prepper as far as I could in case of a genuine emergency like a Yellowstone outbreak or a worldwide pandemic.
> The whole world shut down

It didn't. The essential people/work still had to show up for work. Butchers, farmers, supermarket workers, truckers, cops, medical workers, etc.

The less essential workers either had to close shop ( barbers, restaurants, etc ) or WFM ( software developers, sales people, etc ).

> and there were basically no serious shortages.

Because the whole world didn't shut down. Just the non-essential stuff were shut down.
There has been this movement in the west, where parents are increasingly expected to sacrifice their happiness on the altar of ever diminishing benefits to their children.

You should make every reasonable effort to salvage your marriage, but you should NOT sacrifice your happiness and stay in a failed marriage just for the sake of your children. Your duty as a parent is to love them, keep them safe, and live your life as best you can.
Maybe that was called prepping back the day. Nowadays, prepping was pretty much taken over by guns and bunker types. Which is bad, because general readiness is a good thing. German authorities certainly recommend a very level of stuff like food and medicine to be kept at home.
No, they say AVX, AVX256, and AVX512 instructions won't work and to run them in conditionals that verify their availability.
A cheap, non-acrimonious divorce will probably still cost you about $10k in legal fees. That's not the biggest expense though. I won't get into the details of my specific situation, but I stand to lose about $10k-20k in taxes every year if I get divorced, instead I just split that money with my ex. You definitely have to trust your ex for stuff like this, because being legally married you can get really screwed (she could go crazy on a credit card and I would be liable for half of it).

I do agree about your risk assessment. For water, those who have water heaters (rather than tankless systems) have a ready supply of drinkable water. Assuming that it isn't damaged/inaccessible after the earthquake. But, it is also possible a separate storage of water could be inaccessible after an earthquake.

when you say parallel you mean the work is distributed across multiple cores? e.g. multiple python worker processes. Or is all work running single threaded in a single process (concurrent IO, but not true parallelism)?
I don't think the realistic people go bragging about it. One it's just something you do, not something you need approval for. Two, now everyone knows you have supplies, and they'll be knocking on your door with or without a weapon if the shit really does hit the fan.

It only takes a couple freeloaders for your supplies to go from weeks to days, and you'd rather get to make that choice yourself.

> Is this true? Perhaps is it that two-parent families are better for raising kids? Or is it a function of household income?

It's hard to separate those, and there's plenty of intuition for why two parents might be better in addition to household income: e.g., availability of at least one parent at any given time.

> Is marriage just being treated as shorthand for a lot of things it isn't necessary for?

I agree that these benefits are more likely the result of two-parent families rather than anything to do with the ritual of marriage.

Short term and long term trends can be very different. I personally have been burned enough by clickbait headlines that I have stopped clicking on them. Which is not the kind of trend that’s obvious in daily analytics, but it’s still critical over time.

Companies often look at customers as interchangeable commodities, but after some growth it’s easy to have poisoned the well where most people have already tried your product and disliked it. That’s a death spiral in the making.
