> Mandatory romantic love is a few decades old social convention. [...] You could have marriage and children with or without romantic love. It was an extra some people had the luck to have.

I'd even say that the „mandatory romantic love” might do more harm than good for quite a few people. Women fall in love with abuse/violent men and stay together with them because they let their feelings decide. Loverboy ploys. Catfishing and other scams. Losing a fortune in a divorce after a rushed marriage.

If falling in love was seen seen as an optional bonus for an already healthy relationship instead of the current „all you need is love”/ Disney - ideal, a lot of harm would be prevented. After all, it's just a biochemical reaction to ensure that genes are passed on. Romeo and Juliet was supposed to be a book about the perils of romantic love, not about idealising it.
Normally I'd agree, but I'll point you to comments elsewhere in this thread as to why this is misleading. The amount of damage is huge, and this was excused all the while by the group's leaders and other "peaceful" supporters with "people > property" and similar logic. Using this same logic, I'm sure 99+% of Nazis were peaceful during the holocaust as well.

"Just use the same Python version and a roughly similar PostgreSQL version in development and production, and you're good to go" -> And that's more time than it would take to re-use that Dockerfile and docker-compose that i literally wrote once and go to once in a while.
Arguably a lot of people buy into the buzz around becoming a Tik-Tok, YouTube, or whatever star when the reality is that it's about as likely for most as becoming a Hollywood star is.

Whatever the form, content by itself just doesn't pay a lot for most and never has. I just finished a new edition of a book of mine. It's valuable for "branding" (ugh term I know). But I'll directly make less money than from cranking out a blog post for some company.
Will this change social media?
Well, you can create your tokens with the structure "domain/authtype/code". I think that's a good idea, and is plainly allowed by the standard.

Yeah, it would be better if it was standardized too, but I didn't think about all the corner cases. Maybe it can't be standardized.

> Traditionally the diamond ring is an engagement ring in the UK. The actual wedding ring is usually a plain gold band.

Wait, these are different rings? You have two of them? In Russia, people don't propose to each other kneeling with a ring like they do in American movies. They exchange rings at the wedding registration, and those rings usually don't have any stones in them.

I don't like the Modi government's policies any more than the next person, however India will benefit immensely cashless precisely because of the problems of under banking to the population you talk about. You don't seem understand how difficult the average rural person has it because the country runs on cash.

I have worked in Micro finance in India ~2010-2013. I have spent some time studying and trying to solve this problem. The logistical challenges to provide banking for smaller communities is immense and costly. Despite government owning 69% of the banking sector and having mandates for unprofitable rural branches.

Microfinance was getting demand despite predatory interest >24% ? Why? Because there are no viable competitors offering less with less friction. Traditional loan sharks charge even more. State Banks and various coops are inefficient in their processes. Banks need a lot of documentation starting from PAN, salary and deeds which only landowners have, The banks are so far off physically for the rural workers, even if they could get financing the risk of multiple days of wages lost is too mush.

Most banks expect you show to regular income to get any kind of loan. If your bank is 10 km away and you make wages daily/weekly, it is not feasible to deposit and withdraw cash every time you need to, you are never going to be approved for the loan.

Indian banking system is simply not working for rural poor users, expecting a daily wage worker or NREGA beneficiary to go 10+ KM to withdraw cash from an ATM that they cannot read instructions is not viable. The traditional model of having middle men disburse cash is extremely corrupt and actual beneficiary gets a small fraction of the money.

Yes smart phone penetration is less ( although I suspect it is bit more than you say, given the number of WhatsApp users in India)

If we need a chance in hell to be able to service poorer part of the country, banking needs to be cheap and that is not going to happen at a branch and it has paperless as possible.

Cash is an expensive luxury the country cannot afford.

A great read for a lazy Sunday morning. The author's tastes in programming languages agree with my own, and he's defending them in an eloquent way so it's an article I read drinking coffee and nodding my head.

Pascal Soriot: AstraZeneca's CEO on EU Vaccines Aggreement
I don’t understand where “boba” comes from. Because I live in Singapore, my wife is Taiwanese, so I travel to Taiwan a lot, no one calls it boba... I keep seeing American or European articles say boba. Even in this article it says boba known in Chinese... but I’ve never heard anyone in Asia call it boba... in English it’s always called “bubble milk tea” or “brown/black sugar bubble milk tea”, depending on what you want. Or if it’s added, it’s referred to as pearls.

I have no problem with this. I take no pleasure in offending people and will change my language accordingly.

This point doesn't make sense. There's 7 billion people in the world. Everything you said will offend someone, somewhere, somewhen. Offence is truly taken, not given. The point others are trying to make is that, if you get in this spiral of changing words and meanings, you're already defeated, as there will be an endless supply of offended people, thus an endless supply of needed changes.

If people could be polite and patient instead of overreacting that would genuinely improve culture instead of turning language into a battleground

That battleground is precisely what postmodernists desire, and is fought with words. And that's why the only logical answer is to not give an inch, and ignore them.

This was the part that really resonated for me enough to share the article. We live in societies that simultaneously make love and marriage the end point of every movie, while also all being insanely cynical of the whole institution. So I think there is some kind of rationalization going on in our heads trying to handle the fact that we don’t believe in marriage, yet we’re getting married!

This really isn’t reflective of reality.

The vast majority of companies in a capitalist system are small to medium sized businesses that are constrained in how much money they can ever make.

Money is an incentive, and there are certainly some companies whose sold purpose is to make profit. As I said these are in the financial sector.

But you only have to look around to see that the vast majority of people who both run companies and who work for them are not in it to maximize profit.

That doesn’t mean they don’t want to succeed against competitors, or that they don’t need profits to survive. Of course they do.

But you simply can’t reduce a company to this.

A common theme on HN and of people in general is people asking how they can make a project profitable. This is indicative that the project is the goal and the profit is merely a necessary condition for achieving it.

A lot of public companies these days don’t give control to the investors. This is also consistent with the company not existing primarily as an investment vehicle.

You still need to do those updates inside your container. I deal with a number of clients who like Docker because it gives them “a stable environment” but they don`t plan image upgrades.

I work products based on the official Python Docker image, but the base image containing the version of Python they want was release in April and haven`t received updates since. Developers forget that releasing software as Docker images mean that they are now responsible for patch management.

Key Takeaways from the episode:

* The principles of SEO and writing for a particular audience transfer well across verticals

* The tricky part about getting into SEO as an engineer is that most of the content out there is really oriented towards marketers, especially marketers using WordPress websites.

* Given the positive reception to Monica's course and community, it's clear that developers do care about blogging

* Successful students carefully reflect on each piece of content they create and consider what they can learn from it to improve the next article (super applicable for entrepreneurship also!)

* Systematic thinking can really improve results, and is one of the reasons why developers are well-suited for excelling at blogging and things like SEO - because these activities lend themselves to a systematic approach.

* Thinking about keywords when you write is super important. This is an area where there are a lot of misunderstandings because people get confused with the keyword metatag (which is indeed no longer important). The crux here is thinking about what people will search in Google.

* A lot of people optimize around Twitter - the problem with this is that Twitter is fleeting. Even Twitter accounts with over 250k followers get their blog posts talked about so rarely that it won't generate the kind of meaningful traffic that you can with SEO.

* Crux is: You need some backlinks, and you need to do your keyword research
I complain all the time about the memory consumption of Java software, they behave like they are the only ones running on a computer, but not the speed. The JVM is actually pretty fast. For sure it's a bit slower than native code but if your Java code is slow, I'm sorry but it's your code and using C++, C, Rust or whatever else faster will not make your code fast.

Docker makes deployments easy. In almost all situations I've encountered, it's easier to 'git pull foo && cd foo && docker-compose up' than it is to install and configure a mishmash of individual services to work in tandem.

A Dockerfile may be complex for any piece of the stack. But now this complexity is not part of deploying the application. Each component has its own build process which is decoupled from the others. And even a really complex installation process results in a deployment process that works the same way.

If you can't see these benefits then maybe you haven't had to deal with complex software installation. Or maybe you haven't had to run the same stack on your laptop that you run in production. But if you ever get to the point that you want to deploy something in more than one place, or more than once to a single place, it really makes things much easier.

Informational is outside the standards track. In this context more or less "The authors would like to inform you that this is a thing now (e.g. the URI scheme has been registered), you might want to consider using it", but it's not something where a process to develop it further has happened or is expected (which would be the case for a standard), partially because it's just so simple.

You can say that results are unreliable because they're not open about the details, or didn't provide enough data, or the data they provided doesn't make sense. Vaccinations being consensual or not is unrelated to the topic.
You are making judgments about OP using Docker. But from my point of view you are a true pain to work with because you do not containerise your work. Anytime I'd have to work with one of your creations I'd have to go figure what you are using, set it up and make sure it works. That's a waste of time and you are promoting that very fact because you were unable to figure any usage for it. I doubt OP has only "read some blog post about it somehwere" It's literally wide in usage by a lot of companies. "People who like Docker often seem to be working in larger teams, which is totally fine and they're probably right to use Docker." -> it's actually about that, it is useful is scaling that's true, but it's also very useful just to share the env your software should work with. And I'd dare to say that giving a Dockerfile is now standard practice.

Isn't this the normal way that the market operates? No one will baby-sit your saving, you are responsible for what you put your money into to. The people who lose big were just making the market less efficient, and so will be removed from the market.

EDIT: To be clear, I'm not a "free market fundamentalist". I don't think that efficient markets are or should be an end in itself. But if the idea that the market is hard to beat because the weak participants get eliminated has any truth to it at all, this is it.
And make that taxation progressive so it would be unprofitable to hold on to copyrights for decades. This feels even better than my idea about making copyright very short, on the order of several years — technically it would be indefinite, but only if you can pay the ever-increasing cost to maintain it.

The IP tax would also solve the status of abandonware once and for all — the company is no longer around to pay the tax on its copyright, so the copyright gets terminated and the works become public domain.
Contracts are complicated and disputed what they really mean. But it doesn't look that AstraZeneca is acting in bad faith. The UK invested 3 months sooner and that enabled AstraZeneca to solve manufacturing issues sooner. The same issues happened in the EU sites but those were started later, so unfortunately nothing can be done about this.

Politicians have a magic thinking that because they will demand fulfilment of the contract, the extra doses will miraculously appear. It's not how it works, the only way to get them is to take them away from the UK. It might or might not be fair to share UK doses with EU considering that this is a global pandemic but that is completely different discussion unrelated to the signed contracts.

Looking is at this from legal perspective only is not helpful. The following events, like the EU backtracking on North Ireland export ban, clearly show this. We need cooler heads prevailing.

We know from the Fugu (pufferfish) genome that vertebrate genomes can get away with almost no junk. And before people say "well, that's just a fish, not an amazing human", realize that from the larger evolutionary perspective, the difference between a fish and a human is almost nothing. There is no particular reason to imagine that "you won't have a functional human" without the vast majority of junk DNA. Obviously there would be ethical concerns for doing this experiment, but the fact that onions can have huge genomes and fish small ones is pretty good evidence that there is no correlation with the amount of junk and functionality.
