A married couple is a hell of a lot better than single parents for raising kids.

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

Is marriage just being treated as shorthand for a lot of things it isn't necessary for?
And what's up with the camera bumps? ;-)

I know most people use a case, anyway, but I'd rather have an extra mm or 2 and a flat back, and either get more battery or just empty space...
People don't want safety nets; they want _jobs_.
It’s probably similar to PTSD versus PTG—some people are traumatized by a hardship and some grow from it. Same with relationships, I suspect.
It's very easy to do that. The data stored in Config.ly are key:value pairs and can be a JSON string/array, String, Number or Boolean. So you can create as many keys as you'd like.

I'm not sure if that answers your question. It may be referring to slightly different functionality... We don't yet have functionality to say "for this key, deploy value x to clients a,b,c and value y to clients d, e, f" but it's on the roadmap. Do you think that'd be important?
"I understand marriage as a religious rite."

Marriage is social institution that can have religious artefacts or governance, it's not specifically a religious thing per sey.

Marriage-like institutions (i.e. formalized cohabitation + commitment + usually children) is a social concept that transcends most cultures, traditions, religions.

'Religion' or at least the 'applied' or 'civic' parts of religion, in some places came to embody the social governance of that institution, particularly in the West.

There are no 'formal marriage rituals' in Buddhism at least in the way we'd understand that in other faiths - it's literally a 'secular institution' in their view [1]. (They have blessing rituals etc. they're not marrying you)

In some places, the Religious Clerics manage it, in others the Civic Cleric, in other places, both.

Someone mentioned 'it's a legal thing in the US' - which isn't quite right either.

A 'marriage contract' is a civic formalization of the social institution, used in some places wherein the civil state governs the rules about it.

Even language such as 'right to be married' is really misleading: 'the right to have a recognized marriage' would be more appropriate.

Edit: To help your understanding: 'Sweden' is the formalized state of the 'Swedish people' (historically ethnic group). But if there were no formal nation state, the area 'where the Swedes live' may still be referred to possibly as 'Sweden' ie a social construct exists without formal recognition. Some aboriginal communities to this use the the term 'Nation' to describe their people, even with there are no civic formalities involved. The point being 'a Nation' exists independant of formal recognition, which is a civic construct. Marriages are an ancient kind of social organization and existed long before we developed the civic (or religious) notion of 'law'.

it's good to remind ourselves that stratechery is a marketing vehicle for consulting services, not an inquiry into truth. these blog posts are examples of standard strategic analyses learned in any decent MBA program. absent relevant experience, these analyses may seem oracular, but they're not. they're decent and competently researched, but not amazingly insightful--by design: why give away the real crown jewels (if there are any)?

it's pretty clear that the trend in software has been toward subscriptions (renting software) for the last decade or two, and that subscriptions are more advantageous for profit-seeking businesses, so connecting two very well-known dots provides all the "insight" here. a third well-known dot, that apple has a lead in this regard, provides context.
The incentives to married couples are probably less than if they were single and filed separately. This is definitely true of two working spouses as both incomes would start from zero.

For one spouse staying at home, they would now qualify for all forms of assistance and tax credits. Balance that against the single earner's reduced break points on marginal taxes and the status quo probably brings in more money to the government.

Of course it looks like big incentives when you don't look at the penalties from being married.
Amazing how most of the answers completely confuse "marrige" with "kids living in a home with two parents".

As if unmarried people cannot be couples and have kids.
2011 is when I started lurking here. i originally had disgruntledphd, but lost my password and there was no way to recover it (apparently you could contact paul graham, but I didn't know that) so I became disgruntledphd2.
Yes, the article structure is just great. It also doesn't let the long term readers hanging while it introduces everything.

Article's structure:

- The results, shorter than a paper abstract

- A small paragraph introducing the company and the goal the results apply into (long term readers will get the context of the results here).

- Some larger text explaining the product, in a section long term readers can jump.

- The main contents

- A well disguised large selling hook

- A link to more explanation on the product
> They might respond that, as a nation, US slaves and native americans and their descendants were exploited brutally by white English colonists. Over generations, this disparity was solidified by white male laws like jim crow, voter disenfranchisement, and overtly racist and harmful attitudes.

Very few people would deny this, and I highly doubt Shor disagrees with any of this.
>One important change with those new models is that they require all ARM-native executable code to be signed, unlike Intel models which can continue to run unsigned code in Big Sur.

If you read the linked article it notes that there is no requirement for the signature to be signed by anybody and that the linker automatically adds one one the fly. This is similar to Android app development.
> working-class and poor Americans face more family instability and higher levels of singleness

"singleness" is an interesting term here. Are the authors implying that being single is inherently a bad thing? It seems as though they're using it to have a negative connotation.

I've been using Anki since 2009, and after about 2014 or 2015 I stopped using other people's decks. I find that the information that I put into Anki is much better retained, as it forces one to comprehend, not just memorize.
> If you sell your labor, you are working class

This is a convenient trope. I mostly hear it from well-off friends.

There is an American aristocracy. They live on inherited wealth, have never connected to the common person and are a scourge.

But there are people whose compensation is tied to productivity growth. And there are people who are not. Getting those of us making six or seven figures, with health insurance and a retirement portfolio, looking to buying a house and having kids, to find common policy with someone constantly facing foreclosure, who may not have a bank account, whose kid is struggling with opioid addiction and can’t afford to fight an illegal parking ticket issued by their dying town will be hard.

Put another way, we have Americans who feel they need to fight to survive. And we have Americans who feel they need to fight to thrive. Those result in different policy priorities.
> I understand marriage as a religious rite.

It used to be like that. Nowadays religions have little to no influence on marriage. Most people don't actually practice what the texts prescribe.

Follow up thought: To me, dynamic features are useful, and a net win for maintainability, when they allow you to write smaller, simpler code. Just picking some magic numbers out of thin air, say I can get the same job one in 100 lines of Python or 1,000 lines of Java. It's likely, if not guaranteed, that the Python code base will end up being easier to maintain in the long run.

I think that sometimes maintainability comparisons fail to be entirely fair because they rely on cross-language comparisons of codebases of similar size, rather than of similar levels of functionality. Which is only natural, since substantive opportunities for the latter kind of comparison are rare in the wild, but still.

To take a concrete example: The original Smalltalk system was this enormously featureful piece of software, even by today's standards. And it was written in one of the most dynamic languages ever, but it was also famously maintainable. My impression (admittedly based only on poking around at the edges a bit and not actually living in Smalltalk in any serious way) is that the reason for this is that the whole thing was implemented with so little - and such simple - code that, in stark contrast to just about any other GUI environment, it was feasible for a single person to read and understand the whole thing in a reasonable amount of time.
That's their typical approach. They released iPad 1 with 256Mb only, then iPad 2 was released in short time while iPad 1 has become literally unusable after next software update. That's the lesson. I am certain they will upgrade CPU, webcam, RAM, and connectivity in the next version very soon.
And yet they've completely nerfed PWAs on iOS. So they can say what they like; I don't believe it.

We can't measure the deltas with as much confidence, because counting is far from finalized in many states (especially non swing states). But if trafalgar is the only group putting out polls where trump is ahead in several states, and then those states are lost, isn't that meaningful? Trafalgar was putting a "shy trump voter" bias into their polls, basically shoving the polls arbitrarily right. Some of that may have helped with polling errors that hurt other pollsters, but its clear they went too far, especially with many midwest states that ended up going blue.
When that inevitably fails, where do you put the unrepentant rapist, if not in a prison? This is a simple question, if you find yourself unable to answer it, it's because your proposal is moronic.
Just like a drug gang too, there's striking. To be an RP bio, at least at the time I was looking into it, you needed 3 years of field experience, a paper published in a reputable journal and you had to pay a $10,000 yearly fee to the association of applied biology and attend a few of their meetings and stuff.

That's if you wanted the ability to sign your name on government projects, otherwise, you had to just find and pay someone willing to write their name on your project.
CQRS+ES is more about event sourcing and not as much about CQRS. The hard part about the scheme is the CAP theorem stuff, not how operations are segregated into commands and queries.
In many places privacy laws prevent unmarried partners from being automatically notified in medical situations, from making medical decisions, and misc other medical situations you might expect your committed partner to be involved. This probably doesn't matter as long as you are conscious, but if you've involved in an accident or become incapacitated, you'd need a living will on file to have your partner participate in some of these.

Before anyone writes an article like this, claiming to understand the body politic, consider that an enormous number of people right now refuse to wear masks during a pandemic. They don't just oppose wearing masks, they violently and angrily oppose it. They make a big point out of not wearing masks. Anyone who writes an article like this suggesting that I need to compromise with political opposition needs to start here, and explain to me what I need to change about my own behavior in order to meet sociopathy 'in the middle'. Sure, mask wearing isn't a perfect left/right venn diagram, but societal issues and political issues are very much tied together (see religion, abortion, LGBT rights, etc.).

I will argue the reason this happens is not because of bad marketing by "Democrats", "liberals", or scientists, but because misinformation is highly effective, and backed by what could be one of the most advanced algorithms in the world: The facebook addiction algo. It is as much a human programming tool as anything that has ever existed, and I wonder if society can maintain stability while it prints money.
I also had hard times with built-in templating library for Go. That's why I created quicktemplate [1]. Usually it is much easier and natural to write templates in quicktemplate comparing to built-in templating library. As an additional benefit, quicktemplate templates work much faster (10x and more) than standard Go templates. The only downside that quicktemplate templates must be pre-compiled to Go code before building the app.

> Poor Americans are probably more likely to marry in the early 20s vs career-minded

Poor vs career-minded? Aren't the poor more likely to be career-minded in order to improve their situation? These don't seem mutually-exclusive at all. I don't see why being poor makes it more likely for one to marry earlier, either.
> A second strategy out of bounds for privacy preserving products: Interoperability

This part had me scratching my head. Most established non-privacy-preserving products have been slowly killing interoperability because data lock-in provides a moat against users leaving and against potential competitors accessing valuable user data. There's no economic reason why privacy-preserving products should have worse interoperability than privacy-violating ones. Especially in product categories where interoperability does not imply sending PII to third parties.

Edit: Arguably, providing interoperability is easier for products that don't gather a lot of user data because there's less risk of an embarrassing leak of PII if the API is not properly secured.
"...and their children will be more likely to grow up with two married parents, which provides them the best chance for success later in life."

It seems odd to make such a blanket claim without any citations or clarifications regarding:

- Must the parents be married to each other?

- Must the parents be happily married?

I suspect that many people divorce specifically because they don't want their children reared in a house where the parents are merely tolerating each other if not being outright hostile toward each other.
Excellent points. People divorce less because they get married at a later age - or never.
Agreed. There are also several series of "problem books" out there, that are nothing but hundreds and hundreds of problems (and solutions) for a given subject. They tend to have titles like "The Humongous Book of Calculus Problems" or "The Humongous Book of Algebra Problems", or "1001 Solved Problems in Linear Algebra", etc.

I also buy cheap used copies of older editions of various text-books to supplement the video stuff. When you don't have to worry about using the latest version because it's required for a class, you can find some really cheap deals.
I remember reading someone on the right of British politics saying something like "Everyone keeps saying conservatives don't like poor people. It's true: we want to turn them into rich people."

Notwithstanding whether or not their policies actually achieve that, if that's the way the US working class see it I think that might answer your first point. They may see it as the elite throwing them bones as long as they stay in their place.
But the M1 is a general purpose CPU and it is faster (without any help from Neural Engines etc) than competing devices.

> Don't think about Trump

15 years ago, I watched/read the news a lot. I stopped about 10 years ago. It was one of the best things I ever did.

No matter who is in office, the news coming out of Washington D.C. will always be depressing. Someone or some group you despise will always be there bashing people you like. The people you like will never get the attention you think they deserve, their good ideas will be squandered, etc. Just turn it off.

> Still, there seems no JetBrains for Bash, ansible(yaml), HTML, Latex, Rust (though there is a plugin), or markdown.

There are very high quality third party plugins for everything you mentioned except maybe Latex? HTML support is built-in for sure in all the web-focused IDEs (pycharm, rubymine, phpstorm, webstorm). I generally edit almost all my files in a JetBains IDE, heavily using the "scratch" feature.

The Rust plugin is not ideal yet, although it is officially supported so in time it will probably have the same support and quality other products have.

> I'm convinced this comes from the fact that IDEs have to be both highly opinionated and very flexible: supporting all of flask, django, pandas+Jupyter and ansible, properly, is tough: all are Python, all are really different. Either you turn Pycharm into something that does not work good for anyone (lowest common denominator) or you have to leave out communities.

Yes, some frameworks are not fully supported, which is inevitable. The most popular frameworks will usually have an official plugin. I wish more framework/language communities would take developing a JetBrains plugin more seriously.

The language plugins do usually leverage community tools when possible, but sometimes it is prohibitively expensive performance-wise.

In conclusion: Vim and Emacs do win in ubiquity for sure. It is unfortunate though that many communities only focus on getting those type of setups working well. The JetBrains IDEs are MILES ahead of what Vim, Emacs or Visual Studio Code can do with their hodge-podge of plugins that I would never trust with a context-aware automatic refactor in my life. Those editors are in fact a "lowest common denominator", and people lose so much productivity because of them.

In fact, I will consider a language "niche" until it gets proper JetBrains support for the above reasons.

People are putting off marriage to later ages. People are more likely to think that premarital sex is morally justifiable. People of marrying-age are more active participants in the work force.

Historically, if you were a median woman you needed marriage to have access to a stable income. If you were a median human, you needed marriage to have socially-acceptable sex.

Nowadays, people in their 20s have many paths to wealth and sex that do not require the commitment of marriage.

People can remain financially and sexually independent for more of their lives (feasibly indefinitely), which means they can be more choosy with their marriage partners. This implies fewer and happier marriages, and a lower divorce rate.

That's my interpretation of the presented data, anyways.
Yeah, no, seems like it teaches that anything goes as long as you don't get caught.

You know this, yet I bring it up anyway because you insist on pretending to be a moron.

I would love to see this societal change before I am too late to be married somewhat youthfully, but I don't think we will get there.

Monogamy is a breeding ground for drama. It creates a lifelong conflict between choosing to be a faithful spouse, and choosing to follow natural human instincts.

I know a woman with an open relationship, she regularly has many partners but has a husband. A friend had approached her one time thinking she was going to make a difficult and shocking revelation to her: that she had seen her husband with another woman. It was then that she had to delicately explain the arrangement of her open marriage to her friend.
And who's likely to hop on that ladder in high school? People that are good at long term planning, sticking to goals, not being shitheads, etc.

And even if you work a shitty gas station job opportunities you can learn the gas station business, impress the owner, and get them to invest in opening your own. Or you can learn a trade in your spare time.

The average person has much less ideological coherence than the subset of Americans who closely follow politics.

This doesn't seem quite so obvious to me.

1. Do we know what the contracts between Verizon-Apple look like? Verizon may get discounts for buying in bulk or for being a strategic partner.

2. Cell providers (like Verizon) may be funding OP's iPhone 12 with the monthly-payments of other customers that don't exercise their ability to upgrade their phone exactly every 24-months. I think this group may actually be rather large.

3. Interest rates for financing your iPhone via your cell provider's 2-year contract plan are likely lower than financing an iPad on a credit card or other third-party financing.

All of the above likely combine to make the iPhones proportionately cheaper than iPads, possibly significantly.
Unfortunately, having to replace a big part at a huge cost (instead of banging) is a great incentive for car makers to go this way.
Well children are considered separate; child support laws don't require a preexisting marriage contract for example.
