I don't think bit errors happen nearly as often as people seem to think on HN. Sure they happen but they're relatively rare, especially on good quality servers. We have ECC/hashing all over the place looking for it at various layers. I bet it's 1 in a trillion emails that get a bit error in the addressing if not more. I have written embedded code (FPGA) that ran for YEARs that has hashing and I could probably count on one hand the number of times we've had to address any issue (always failed hardware) and it was caught every time unless SHA512 has failed us.
For DB applications, I got introduced to xBase via dBase III, then moved into Clipper Summer '87, followed by Clipper 5.x including doing OOP stuff in it.

> I'm a racist for bringing up population as an issue, but you get to point to policy solutions and blaming religion?

I don't think anyone reasonably accused you of racism.

The reality of demographics mean population control amounts to rich, predominantly white nations telling poor, predominantly brown nations to have fewer kids. The problem isn't race per se. It's the racial discrepancy making most solutions politically untenable.

That’s correct. But at the same time, the language is way higher level than C or C++.

Try not to draw perfect lines. At first the iceberg has the two tops standing out, which is fun, then as it melts and starts breaking a part around the thinnest parts, it is super fun to see how it reacts. Eventually you will end up with a bunch of slim topice floating on the surface.
I think a lot of the disagreement in the comments here comes down to different ideas wrt the definition of overpopulation. When I talk about overpopulation, I talk about a human population that reaches the point where it's detrimental to quality of life for all beings on earth. Sure, we can sustain population growth for a long time by continuing to destroy more and more of our natural resources and wantonly disregarding the existence of all other life on this planet (and ultimately, our own), but can anyone who cares about the whole of the planet really look at that and consider it a net positive? In my mind, an anthropocentric perspective is as misguided as a purely misanthropic one, and is certainly more evidently virulent.

“Since the cerebral cortex is the seat of intelligence, almost everybody thinks that it is also the seat of consciousness, Solms writes. “I disagree; consciousness is far more primitive than that. It arises from a part of the brain that humans share with fishes. This is the ‘hidden spring’ of the title.””

This is a very cerebral approach (pun intended) not at all shared with many or even the vast majority of non-western philosophical schools. Until science begins to integrate (or reject) these models, we are a long way off from even approaching if mechanisms of consciousness can actually be 'known', let alone making affirmative assertions about it

Why would you control for something that has no impact?
First, This question is a lot deeper than probably can be answered in a HN comment... but in theory the only thing that changed for you by working from home is the amount of time that you "see" other humans... I would offer that the first place to make an adjustment should be there. Human beings are social animals and we need time around other humans. If you aren't currently getting enough of that you should add it into your life (like working out, or sleeping 8 hours a day).

Second, a while ago someone reframed the "motivation" concept to me and it's been really beneficial. It's easy to think of "motivation" as an extrinsic concept, but most of what we call "motivation" is actually better termed "discipline". It's a lot easier to fix "discipline" issues than "motivation" issues.

Lastly, if the issue is deeper look into the japanese philosophy of ikigai.

To be fair, most online application processes are fairly broken. I'm sure everyone here knows what it's like to painstakingly enter your complete personal information and work history several times, when everything is clearly on the resume you've already uploaded. Or to have it entirely erased and need to enter it a fourth time because you accidentally went back to a previous page, etc.

Often, if a job has a form that smells like this, I'll bypass for other options, as to me it indicates bureaucracy and institutional stupidity, which I don't want to deal with on the job. It's my brown M&Ms clause.
I have found this works very well for me. While I use the same PC, I have double boot with Linux for work stuff and Windows for anything fun related.

Nobody concerned about the ability to feed themselves should rely on or even have to consider red meat; red meat has historically always been a luxury product, not a staple food.

Let's state the obvious - the EU is a zombie union.

> 15% of firms could be classified as zombies in 2017

Make that 25% today, and assume that's 25% of GDP - you're down to 75%. Deduct some 40% - wasteful and misallocated government spending - and you're down to 35%.

The EU (national bond markets, political union, economies, the euro, etc.) can't survive a 10% drop in GDP.
But close to 50% of GDP is unnecessary and waste.

The longer the EU survives the longer it will take to recover from unavoidable collapse because more money will be wasted on stupid incentives, renewable energy and whatnot. It's only a matter of time.
Having had years of anxiety, stress and also depression I have immersed myself in the topic.

Staying focused or motivated is a goal that shouldn't be a goal in the sense that if you take care of your mental health. Motivation and staying focused will naturally occur. Per person it differs what you need to do to stay healthy, maybe see a therapist if things go bad (e.g. if it really affects your daily living).

But in general it boils down to these things:

-Do work you enjoy, i.e. that relates to the values you have

-Take regular breaks and time-off. No lunch break behind a desk. Take holidays. Don't work 80 hours a week.

-Do meditation/yoga and/or sports to stay physically healthy and lower stress

-Do fun things next to your work that activate/stimulate your body. Playing guitar, painting, meeting friends, cooking. Watching TV / doing computer games is more of the same behind a screen work and thus does not re-energize you

-Take care of your social life, meet friends, family etc.

Hope this helps. Otherwise check Happify for exercises and tracks around this topic.

> I'd speculate this is because if you are either rich or poor you have stability in that your life circumstances aren't going to change that radically,

In the U.S. this may be due not to 'stability', but Medicaid.

To be clear, Medicaid benefits are a hot mess of bureaucracy. To paraphrase Voltaire: 'The point of Medicaid is to ensure that no two people are covered under the same set of rules'.

That said, Medicaid covers ~22% of the U.S. population. The Medicaid yearly income cut-off for a 2-person household is ~$57k/year. Most of the costs of a pregnancy are covered under Medicaid [0].

What are such costs? Well, again, it's very complicated, no birth is 'standard'. And googling this is going to lead to a wide range of answers. But in my local area for a first birth, one baby, no c-section, no epidural, no emergency measures, you're looking at ~$20k out of pocket. And that's with a 'good' HCP. C-sections go to ~$80k, and those are ~20% of first births in my area. Again, the costs will vary wildly depending on many factors.

Then you add in check-ups, vaccinations[1], standard illnesses, ear infections, etc. Medicaid will mostly cover these things, while anyone making more than the cut-off must pay them out of pocket with their HCP discounts, if applicable (again, caution, it's super complex bureaucracy).

The interesting thing is to look at other countries with mostly functional universal healthcare systems. What has happened to their birthrates based on income when you look at how much a mother can be expected to pay for a birth? From what I can recall, there seems to be no real difference as compared to the US, correct?

I believe philosophers try to penetrate meaning behind words, while science try to define everything precisely. Both miss the hole in the gapless gap!

It's like natural remedies cease to exist when they become medicine.

But it's also the universal seeking, which takes on all kinds of forms and shapes.
The short version of which is "the privileged are just selfish", which is a class based stereotype, ie dehumanising.

If someone starts off poor but becomes wealthy, do they lose the ability to empathise? Or do those those lack empathy seek the power to pursue selfish ends? I would argue the latter makes more sense.

There where hugely popular deflationary assets in the past. Gold and Silver would also only go up in value over time if people would see it as more profitable than anything else. But reality kicks in at some point. PMs still goes up in value making new ATH every few year but they cant outperform stock. The people who still bet everything on gold or other PMs are the same who do so with bitcoin. They are attached to it. Its not a big problem because only a fraction of all people will get this kind of gold fever for a long period of time. The rest will move money to other assets and even short it.

All of that leaves out any "authoritarian" intervention which at some point would be guaranteed if bitcoin would come close to a global risk. An yes, I know they cant shut down the network but like I said in my last post its all about the price tag. They can crash the price without attacking the network at all. Merely stating the goal to suppress it should be enough. No institution would bet against the gov so they would sell instantly.
