Yes, beyond a shadow of a doubt. Contraceptives make sex less risky, meaning that doing so outside of marriage is less hazardous, reducing one of the greatest historical "perks" of marriage.

There are plenty of other ways in which people are probably feeling less pushed toget married. Holidays are very inconvenient when married if your and your spouse's families live in different places, for example.
I think that you are overstating problems kids of single parents face.

Plus, divorced parents coparenting is not the same as single parent - the large financial pressure on parent is much smaller.
Yes and that works very well. You could also achieve this in Ableton by using jBridge (it was intended as a way to run 32bit plugins in 64bit DAW or other way around or to overcome the memory limits of a 32bit process) which runs plugins in separate processes and unintended consequence is vastly improved performance. I remember having projects that wouldn't play at all and played through jBridge without breaking a sweat.
To any readers contemplating a divorce in a marriage with children: please, PLEASE reconsider.

Divorce has multi-generational effects that reverberate far beyond the relationship of you and your spouse. I am in a marriage with four kids and my in-laws are divorced. MY marriage and family life is exponentially more difficult because of my in-laws' divorce. E.g. think holidays are hard? Just wait until you have to simultaneously manage holidays with kids while not insulting your in-laws with who gets time when.

Don't @ me with "but what about the wife-beater junkie?!" Yes, safety and sanity of course require separation in cases. But barring safety and the extremes, remember that any "other spouse" out there likewise has flaws and will also change with the passage of time. Also, you are likely very flawed and suck in many ways that only relationships will bring to surface. There is no such thing as a perfect spouse because there is a common weakness that will be brought to each relationship: YOU.

Lastly, lest you think of marriage as just a relationship with two people, have some bloody perspective on our species and society and realize that the stability of society will come from each new generation. Stability is not built into human civilization; it is won by blood, sweat, and tears. One of the greatest indicators of success in a child, in the future who you depend on, is a stable two-parent household.

EDIT:

I'm not advocating that people stay in abusive relationships. I am aware of how common abuse can be. I am also not advocating that you just "stick it out" while fighting like dogs for decades.

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. Put in the work (which may a long time!) to see if you can make it work.

What can happen very often is that divorce removes the problem from the spouses and places the burden of the problem onto the children.And then, of course, the children cannot complain about it because it is the child's fault that they have issues with their parents divorce (which is always very friendly and amicable).

> 1) policies advocated by people in the D party like Bernie Sanders, e.g. social safety nets for such job losses in manufacturing as described. Isn’t this part of the progressive dream?

Yes, but progressives aren't really a majority of the party, nor do they have much control over it. The progressive caucus of the Democratic party in Congress has ~100 members, but there is no actual policy one has to support to be in that caucus. Being a "progressive" is a useful label for many Democrats, so they join. As far as I'm concerned, the only "true" progressive members of congress are Justice Democrats (Dems that don't take corporate PAC money for their election campaigns). All others need to have their record carefully examined first.

Secondly, the moderate wing of the party always is the first to blame the progressive side for any and every electoral upset or issue, arguing that being associated with their radicality costs them votes. Maybe this is true to an extent, but if these moderate members had their own thing they were running on, they wouldn't be associated with the progressive wing.

> 2) How working class voters end up aligning themselves with a party that is less likely to care about them, e.g. by cutting taxes for earners well above the working class income bracket.

Republicans cater to a lot of single-issue type things. Guns, abortion, religion. Finally, and maybe I'm completely wrong, but there's a lack of class consciousness among the rural working class (working class in cities at least has geographic proximity to aid organization).

Maybe I just need more education in this realm but I’m not sure why a difference in electrical wattage makes it physically impossible for one processor to produce a better result than another processor.

In the presentation, Johny Sruji seemed to place a bigger emphasis on the reduced power consumption than he did the speed. Saying things like, “this is a big deal” and “this is unheard of”.

In my mind, the argument of wattage seems analogous to saying, “There is no way a low wattage LED bulb will ever outshine a high wattage filament bulb.” I have assumed that we’ve been able to make leaps and bounds in CPU technology since the dawn of computers while also reducing power consumption.

But maybe there is some critical information I am missing here. I’m certainly no expert and would love to hear more about why the wattage aspect holds weight.
Backups, people! Or at least don't offload your whole identity to an external device.
What is stopping the wholesale movement of US labor to the Republican party?

The only obstacle is resistance of national republicans to mass unionization - public as well as private unions.

However with a national protectionist trade policy, unions have the effect of improving wage equality.

US democrats favor unions on one hand, but destroy manufacturing unions by embracing free trade and globalization.
I think the problem is that the Democrats treat the working class like developed countries often treat people in the third world. They don’t respect them as equals but as people who don’t know what’s good for them so they need to be helped. That causes a lot of resentment amongst the people because they aren’t allowed to have self respect. This may just be a problem of messaging. I am not sure.

But I am 100% sure that the left wing in the US right now is mainly comprised of well educated upper middle class people who have a certain level of disdain for blue collar workers.
If the result is less divorces, that should be a good trend. The concerning piece is the class differences. The poor are experiencing a higher divorce rate
Is there a reason R can't use the BLAS/LAPACK implementation that comes with macOS in the Accelerate framework?
And globalisation of US manufacturing was a political choice. Does nobody remember Ross Perot, who ran for President twice saying that NAFTA would doom the US manufacturing workers?

There was some kind of assumption that as long as the West kept the jobs requiring education, everything would be fine.

The results, somewhat predictably, were (amongst other things) Brexit and Trump.
Thanks for the tug link, I should have known to watch there. I scan his site off and on.

There wasn't much stability in boomer or even older generations either. I think that is a red herring. There was probably more social pressure to marry in the absence of going to college.
The problem is because society has not adopted non-monogamy as being acceptable in relationships, many people do not even consider it, which generates a smaller pool of partners to find who may be compatible with non-monogamy. You have to find increasingly niche people, who are often abnormal in other ways that you wish they'd just be normal.

>"Security concerns" is an excuse for protectionism

Is protectionism really a bad thing, especially if it's in retaliation to chinese protectionism?
Note that "never" doesn't help directly - the divorce rate is per marriage, not per human.

However, the people who never get married should inform our view - it seems likely that people not being hasty about getting married would lead to fewer shittier marriages.
Plus, divorced parents family need to be compared not too ideal family with two parents that cooperate and respect each other. It needs to be compared to family with problems that led to divorce.
There are a lot of parts and other raw materials in orbit that are in good, functional condition(all Mil-Spec). There are also failed/broken items. Assess all this, orbit some bigelow
habitats, say 4, one pair at the Russian end and another pair at the NASA end - start a progressive rebuild, orbit new parts and use salvaged as needed. Some old sections will remain as mechanically robust (docking rings etc) and over a few years create the new station. The lessons of the past will create an inherently longer lived new structure.
Why not buy a phone with software apples integrated ecosystem preinstalled? There are lots of solutions like that already, just that they all suck. If software apple existed then you would have more options for properly locked down phones without sucky software since now you could put it on hardware from other manufacturers than hardware apple.
This reminds me somewhat of the 'Pont des Arts' in Paris - where couples often affix padlocks to the railing and throw the key into the water as a symbol of commitment. The number of combination locks on there was quite notable last time I saw it!
The internet I knew and love is coming back
I'm old. I remember an internet before google, facebook, twitter. It was the wild west. People were free to say whatever they wanted, and even be whoever they wanted.

It was decentralized. It was organic. It was sketchy, often wrong, offensive, and beautiful. It was a true marketplace of ideas.

And now it's coming back. Of course the powers that be are pushing back, with a new arsenal of ammo - doxxing, labeling discussion and opinion as "misinformation", putting those who express dissenting opinions on blacklists, labeling people extremists.

But despite all that, for the first time in the long time I feel good about the internet.

Now, I'm going to shoot myself in the foot with an example of all of the above, including the push back, which you, the audience will provide.

I am not promoting anything in that link. I haven't confirmed or validated any of that information. I am giving it as an example of the spirit of the internet I knew and love. People self organizing on their own platform, acting within the law, on projects that support their values and beliefs.

Maybe you have your own examples, from completely different political perspectives. I'd love to see them too. Maybe I'll love it, maybe I'll hate it, maybe it'll make me angry. All of that is OK.

Why the Poor Eat Poorly
You don't think environmental factors might play in to the type of choices a 16yo gets to make?
I think the point GC was making is also that rural people see how poorly democrats are running cities in many cases and don't want that to happen to them.

The logic being: better little-to-no government at all than one that does a terrible job.
Perhaps not in this particular example. Without the oxygen, a bi-product of life, no ozone and no limitation of UV radiation. However other windows of opportunity may have closed. Such as seems to have happened on Mars and Venus.

Perhaps the answer is that x86 is far more general purpose than that. Many of the instructions are as old as the Millennial workforce at Intel who is building their chips, from an era where the web wasn't a concern and GUIs were uncommon. A vast amount of transistors are dedicated to a different optimization than what the software of this decade cares about.

OTOH ARM and Apple have tailored their chips to the workload of ~10 years ago (running Javascript at single-digit watts) which is far more tailored to what actually gets used these days.
At the very least, even if we compare intact and separated couples, both cooperative/non-conflicting, in the latter case, children are invariably pulled in different directions (physically and emotionally), which is not good.

Over the past decade I've had to deal with a lot of executives and security people who don't actually understand security all that well. Or at all. (Not that I'm a security expert, but that hardly makes it better when even I can see that something is nonsense).
Right now I know of at least half a dozen products that are marketed as having E2E encryption but do not actually implement this (no, I'm not going to out them. See second to last paragraph as to when to be wary). In part because executives, marketers and salespeople don't know what it means. And in part because when explained what it means they will insist on their own definition/interpretation and demand the product is marketed as E2E.

It is also important to note that quite often you are not dealing only with the company that makes a product, but the regulatory bodies that can pressure companies into complying with their wishes.

As for Zoom, I don't understand why people trust them or still use their product if they are at all concerned about security. It makes very little sense.
The opposite is the case.

This is exactly why the JOBS-act style crowdfunding model doesn't work, and may harm small-time investors. If your business is low-risk, you self-fund or bootstrap. If your business is high-risk but has a decent team you can just raise from a VC. It's only high-risk, low-reward ventures that can't raise from a VC that will seek funding from a boatload of zero-value-add small-time investors.

Good points, and I agree that it's a continuum. Ease of development comes at a cost - the cuteness of Ruby is great for enumerables and lambdas, but also allows you to shoot yourself in the foot.

Personally, I don't think type specifications are incredibly onerous, and I'd rather err on the side of a compiler catching my dumb typo instantly, instead of waiting for a 15-minute CircleCI run to finish.
There's a pretty overwhelming consensus among economists that protectionism is indeed a bad thing.

Tit-for-tat protectionism is also known as a trade war, which is also generally considered to be negative for both parties.
> That's how. There are so many Python linters out there.

Ah, okay. I've been using pychecker, pyflakes and pylint for quite some time, was just hoping there was something more that would help do stricter type checking. I'm aware of python-contract as an orthogonal way to enforce things, but was a little disappointed it's not included with standard python (at work I don't always have the option of installing external packages).
"to find common policy"

This is also a convenient trope. You can literally be both of the pictures you paint in America, sometimes in the span of the same year. Things like affordable job training and college education, and universal health care would benefit most Americans.

I have a feeling especially on Hacker News that a lot of people do not like to compare themselves to poorer working people - and think they are wildly different somehow.

i love japanese yokai* lore and mythical creatures. it's not just spirits of humans but animals, spirits, ghosts and even 'feelings' that wait to haunt the living.

i wrote a series of children's short stories based on yokai at the farm. there is the hyosube which is an eggplant kappa. it is hairy and angry. hates horses and loves eating eggplants. its usually found in vegetable gardens and eats all the eggplants. he has a bowl like indention where there ought to be the top of the skull. it needs to be filled with water all the time because if there is no water, it will die.

so it has the habit of creeping into peoples baths and soaking in the bathtubs. people are fearful because if you look into their eyes, you will surely die.

eta: thats the lore. in my story, the farmer finds a hyosube destroying his eggplant patch and because he is polite..he bows to the hyosube before running scared away from it. but because the hyosube was also polite, it bows back and the water on top of it's skull bowl empties itself. and its about to die. so the farmer refills it. and the hyosube is grateful and behaves in his garden. and the farmer always leaves something for the hyosube from the harvests.

i wrote the story for the hyosube descriptions, but my friends who were moms said it was too much. so i tweaked it into a story to show how even hyosubes are polite and it would be a good idea for all children to be polite to everyone. even hairy dirty hyosubes that steal your garden produce. they seemed to like it better. but i really really enjoyed describing a scary hyosube that splashes around clean bathtubs and makes a mess when it steals into people's homes. you are not even allowed to scare children with stories these days!(/s)

mostly i wanted kids to love eggplants. wouldnt kids love eating more eggplants if they knew a hyosube that splashed in a bath tub is also their buddy?

I'll be happy if generics will be never included in Go. They will definitely reduce code readability, will increase binary sizes and will increase compile times because of generics' abusers.

I wrote a ton of various code in Go [1] over the last 10 years and had never experienced the need in generics. The last my project in Go is VictoriaMetrics [2] - fast and cost-effective open source time series database and monitoring solution.

Before Go I was writing some code in C++ and was constantly struggling with C++ templates in stl and boost libraries. This was absolute nightmare from debugging PoV.

>I think the results of the election highlight this very well. In the critical "mail-in" states, the difference in the Presidential election was made by the large urban populations. In the House and Senate, local preferences were more strongly favored.

The part about the Senate doesn't make any sense to me: voting for the Senate works exactly the same way as voting for the Presidency in most states - it's a winner-take-all plurality vote on a statewide basis.
