That's a really good point! I agree that we should be supportive of parents in the face of circumstances they can't directly control, rather than stigmatize them or hold them to an unfair standard. Thanks for explaining it that way.

I also think we can both do that and work to continue to improve circumstances, which to me includes recognizing that the circumstances can be improved.
Seeing as a big chuck of what someone believes is culturally inherited from their parents, and thus hypothesizing that meme* survival partially follows parent-child relationships, I'd say that that's a problem that will end up self-correcting :)

China will never take Taiwan with military force, at least not anytime soon. Any kind of military move against Taiwan would endanger the real value of Taiwan which is companies like TSMC. China will continue to work to increase it's political and economic power while weakening the US's and other western countries influence until such a time that they can take Taiwan with little or no force at all.

True, but that ability to relate a certain feeling to an internal issue (e.g. thirst or hunger) is somewhat of a learnt behavior. It was part of the childhood ride that has now long been forgotten.

This still, however, doesn't solve the issue that those signals "exist" somewhere from a certain point of perspective. I think sight highlights this to me the most clearly. Although vision serves a purpose in deciding motor function, it also simply exists. I don't "feel" that I see - I simply "see".

Going back to how you phrase it - who or what is "feeling"? Everything we do or think may be mechanical, but there is a distinction between I and my dog. I am not riding the dog-life roller-coaster, I am riding my own human-life roller-coaster.

If I cloned myself, I'd be happy to state that both versions would think and behave as me, but I would only exist in one of them.
> specific to male cofounders

I guess what I was trying to say is, male founders have a few biological choices that female founders don't, and I'm suggesting that it should be considered unethical to set industry work-hour standards to a level that only males can achieve because males are able to de-prioritize biology.

An article about one of the most widely acclaimed male founders today:

"As an Apple employee in the early 1990s, he almost walked out of the delivery room when the impending birth of his first child threatened to disrupt a presentation he was scheduled to give. As president of Google China from 2005 to 2009, he had a special table installed on his bed so that he could sit directly up from sleep and immediately begin responding to emails, without having to waste time standing up or reaching for a laptop."

I'm hypothesizing that behavior like this, at different scales, is quickly becoming both romanticized and expected of founders, and that is marginalizing all groups except single males.

Why the Economy Needs Biodiversity
Women are biologically determined to have children with a man that can provide security and resources. It’s natural drive and need on the same level as breathing, eating, drinking.

Men are biologically driven to have many children, from many different women, as their circumstances and resource ps allow.

This is the human condition and anyone born alive accepted the EULA agreement, by being born alive.
It's almost as if human social norms solved this dilemma by division of labor: men bear the brunt of earning capital, while women are freed up to have and raise children.

The women's "empowerment" movement in this context can be seen as a cynical ploy by capital to convince women their "power" is tied to earning wages and having a career instead of having a family and they must pursue economic independence over over strategic "dependence" on a husband to help them realize commons goals.

At the end of the day women, and men, will ultimately want what they want. The argument here is that in the grand scheme of things they want a family, and will regret early choices that threaten this goal long term. Whether they are distracted away from this goal by capitalist propaganda to increase the labor supply, or they combine forces to achieve it is the challenge.

People will argue "men and women should make their own choices and determine this for themselves". Yes, but what is the default cultural message nowadays? What is promoted as the norm? What is the institutional and political rhetoric around this question? Western liberal democratic, capitalist nations stand firmly on the side of promoting careerism for women over early motherhood and marriage.

I'm not intimately familiar with all the different strains of antinatalism, but I think that's kinda the point? an antinatalist would not consider funding existing people's retirements or possibly even the survival of the species to be sufficient justification for creating new conscious beings who cannot consent to their creation.
Convenience, speed, and technical difficulty (for the typical person, not HN reader). Definitely, I've faced this problem. My photo and video library on Google Photos is now much larger than the free space I have on any device. The hassle of downloading in chunks, just to re-upload (and heaven help anyone on an ISP with data caps) is huge. It's also probably very slow - consider the bandwidth between an Apple and a Google server - most likely in the 10Gbps range? Compare that with an average person doing 50Mbps down and then 8Mbps up. For a 500GB library that takes _hours_.
I have fiber to the home, and I'd have to say the cost structure is a great reason not to have gigabit service.

We have the base package, which is advertised at 50/50 and is generally right on target. Plus no data caps. I am extremely satisfied.
I'm on Virgin Media in the UK on their 'gigabit' package which runs on DOCSIS 3.1 for downstream but only DOCSIS 3.0 for upstream.

They've always been rubbish with their down/up ratios though. Download speed advertises better than upload.
I'd second that, or alternatively just a plan that lets me upload unlimited photos for a monthly fee like Flickr used to do very early on.

I don't necessarily agree. From Robinhood's most owned stocks by 02/25/21[0], you can 'maybe' argue that 2 out of them are 'meme' stocks. This is either an indications that investors know what they own or they follow the crowds (AAPL, AMZN, DIS, etc).

This is hard because predicting a duration for each process is hard. For some processes getting feedback that granular might be hard (for a download this is more or less easy, you get the moving window average downloadspeed and the total filesize and use simple arithmetic to get the duration). For other things this can be hard, e.g. if the peocess you use doesn't offer that kind of granular metrics.

AZ missed several weekly deliveries to the EU recently, and was cutting shipment quantities.

The fact that they were trying to export doesn't bode well to them pretending they're following "best effort" wording on the contract.

Follow the contracts and you don't get your shipments blocked. Pfizer exports from Europe to Canada no problem.

If this was the US or any other country I believe most of the comments would be positive.
(I'm going to mark this subthread off topic to be fair to the founders, who haven't broken any rules.)

It's a good question that has been on my mind too. I'm going to revisit the Launch HN process once the W21 stampede settles down.

You guys have probably noticed that we've been stacking two Launch HNs per day for a while now. This is because of how big the W21 batch is. Demand for Launch HNs is growing as YC grows; meanwhile frontpage supply is strictly limited. Not sure yet what to do, but the 'price' is going to have to go up somehow!

This subthread was at the top of the page. When a comment like this appears, it means that many other readers have the same question, and if it's upvoted to the top of the thread, that's even clearer.

I disagree. The acronym is surely a mouthful, but you can summarize EBITDA as "approximately the same as cash flow generated by the company before paying any taxes, interest on loans or making capital investments like building a new plant or buying manufacturing equipment" which should be very intuitive for someone to think through

I'd add to this list:

Chunk extensions. Most people know HTTP/1.1 can return a "chunked" response body: it breaks the body up into chunks, so that we can send a response whose length we don't know in advance, but also it allows us to keep the connection open after we're done. What most people don't know is that chunks can carry key-value metadata. The spec technically requires an implementation to at least parse them, though I think it is permitted to ignore them. I've never seen anything ever use this, and I hope that never changes. They're gone in HTTP/2. (So, also, if you thought HTTP/2 was backwards compatible: not technically!)

The "Authorization" header: like "Referer", this header is misspelled. (It should be spelled, "Authentication".) Same applies to "401 Unauthorized", which really ought to be "401 Unauthenticated". ("Unauthorized" is "403 Forbidden", or sometimes "404 Not Found".)

Also, header values. They're basically require implementing a custom string type to handle correctly; they're a baroque mix of characters & "opaque octets".
Google takeout rips out a lot of metadata information and virtually all organization you had - there are a couple open source projects trying to replace or augment gphotos takeout so it is useable but as is it isn’t a viable option for large libraries
Out of curiosity... what would you propose is a better solution? I prefer no status to a fudged status, personally.

*edit: From that thread: "Apologies for not being more clear about this point in our announcement. When a user has toggled their status to "Hiding" it means they have disabled the feature. Once you are “Hiding” the presence indicator is turned off and no one will be able to see your online status anywhere on the site. This will not change unless you change it, regardless of what device you use to browse Reddit. .

Why did we choose "Hiding" vs "Offline?" Well, you're not really offline even if you've disabled this feature, and we wanted that to be clear in the broader sense of the term.

We will have an explanation published in our Help Center detailing all of this before we publicly roll this feature out to everyone."
It's a post-hoc rationalization. You can't exactly point at a standard you yourself designed to explain why you are unable to do something. It's the old "it was a software problem", 30 years running now.

What's shocking to me is how many tech people acquiesce to this "sorry, it's just the software/hardware" of what was very obviously a deliberate design choice.

Ok, I guess for some founders keeping their business viable at all requires a very large commitment. I think that's going to depend on how saturated is the market you're entering, and various other factors. I still believe that most founders could work much less if they were not in pursuit of vast wealth/fame.
You would think this is the case. But yet, they keep on reproducing while complaining bitterly about it.

Isn't this more of a corollary "remove the duck" principle [1]? The idea being, you expect the reviewer to force some change, so put in a trivial & obvious stylistic difference so their need to make changes are assuaged.

They're a great way to add some diversity to your retirement portfolio. Young able bodies that can get a job and provide you with food and shelter in your old age are the original inflation proof investment. Also, kids are awesome.
Yes, on the one hand you could bet on the power of a bunch of individuals the system serves well-enough (after all, they're still here!) to apply political pressure to some set of local governments (though, note that rent control is starting to be regulated at the state level) to change policy to help the less-well-off in their neighborhoods.

On the other hand, you could bet on "rational activity" from landlords and developers—aka greedy self-interest.

So, sure, you might get a conscientious grassroots group to apply political pressure for rent control when it's not in their own self-interest. But you can 100% count on developers and landlords to be greedy, and I'd much rather channel that group into the outcome I want while I wait and hope for the former.

OTP is perfectly secure, but (for many cases) perfectly useless. Transmitting the key safely is exactly as hard as transmitting the message safely.

They're useful in exactly one situation: when you have a temporary secure communication channel, and a long-term insecure channel. Then you can use the temporary channel to pre-share a lot of key material (say, a 1TB micro SD card carried covertly) and then use that for future messages. But that scenario is very rare.

>the experts in foundations don't seem to think highly of it.

Feel free to name some of these experts. The only thing I've seen is remarks by generally renowned mathematicians such as Terry Tao who have no interest in either foundations or formal verification (which isn't an indictment, its quite removed from mainstream mathematics), so I don't see why anyone would use this to evaluate the merit of HoTT.

>Many arguments for its utility or theoretical importance are, in my opinion, misguided – for example, the claim that set theory proves "junk theorems" such as "pi" being an element of "4."

What? Either whoever said that has no clue what they're talking about or you are misremembering their argument. No, set theory doesn't allow you to prove that pi is an element of 4 - but it allows you to state it. And this is actually an issue in so far as that when you want to state actually meaningful theorems, you constantly have to make assertions about what an object is actually supposed to be. If you do this in a formalized, machine amenable way you just end up with a form of type theory.

And this isn't actually an argument in favor of HoTT, but just some form of (dependent) type theory, all of which essentially run along the lines of 'This makes proof assistants better/easier to use'. I've never heard a legitimate argument for why dependent type theory is overhyped - even hardcore Isabelle folks will have a hard time disputing that dependent type theory has made much more noteworthy recent advancements.

The main argument (from the point of general proof engineering) for HoTT is computable univalence i.e. being able to transfer properties along isomorphisms without the computation getting stuck which is a huge deal. Is it a large enough deal that everyone will adopt it? Who knows, it might be that a more 'practical' proof assistant such as Lean, focusing simply on better automation engineering, will win out, but the hype around HoTT is definitely not just a 'meme'. People over hyping category theory doesn't invalidate the actual research being done.

Persistent, multi-device conversation history might not seem valuable at first glance, but I can say that it's saved me a lot of trouble numerous times. In theory one could back up important messages from WhatsApp/Signal as they show up, but the problem is that the vast majority of the messages that end up being valuable at some point down the road are precisely those that seemed inconsequential in the moment. By the time you realize you need them they've been long deleted.
