> it would be irresponsible for us to adopt while both of us are working.

Why have you convinced yourself of this? You do realize that the vast majority of families have both parents working. Is it irresponsible for all of us to have done so?

I too struggled with the fear before having children. Fear that it would ruin my personal life, my fun, my recreation; fear that lack of sleep would kill me; fear that I wouldn't be any good at it. All of it unfounded, as the instincts we are all born with kicked in and gave me the strength I needed to adapt.

You can do both. In fact, if your work is already taking over your life to the extent where you can't imagine having the time for children, there's a strong chance your quality of life will improve because the children will force you (and give you an emininently socially acceptable excuse to) step back and change how your time is allocated.

Specifically, as far as adoption is concerned, you're also faced with knowing that you could provide an excellent home for someone who may very well end up in a much worse situation otherwise. The horror stories of people who adopt children just to get a cheque... you personally can make a difference on this front.

All of this wealth flows to us working in tech, more than most of our ancestors ever had... to not use our security to raise good children is at once both a waste of ten thousand years of sacrifice, and also a shirking of our own personal responsibility to society. I know that social contract feels like it's breaking down, but it is only through our actions that we can mend it, and raising good children who still believe in civil society is probably one of the best ways of doing that.

Your chance is not over unless you choose for it to be.

Some of these things are (more or less) free, some are just a matter of perspective. E.g. a place being decrepit is fine, or becomes fine over time, it just blends into the background. The noise is spot on, I guess I meant 150sqft of ok-quality housing :)

My Mom was well in her 40's when I was born, my Dad in his early 50's.

I wouldn't trade the childhood I had with them for the world. By the time I came around, they were able to provide a wise, warm, stable and loving home in a way that even the best-intentioned younger folks wouldn't have known how to do. That I played fewer games of toss the ball or the like in exchange doesn't matter a whit. FWIW.

The velocity of money has a lot to do with inflation. How many times per year is a given dollar spent?

The assumption is that as the pandemic ends that this velocity measurement will increase, that people will be out buying and selling things a lot more than they have been for the last year.

The size of the money supply was increased significantly over the last year, due to the trillions in federal stimulus injected into the economy. This was done presumably to prevent many businesses and households from becoming financially insolvent. This is also considered to be inflationary.
Oh, by all mean it is unhealthy food. The nutritional labels are quite clear that they contain too much fat, sugar and calories.

But they are still plant-based and do not contain any animal products.

I eat a vegan diet for one single reason and that is to avoid voting with my wallet for the continuation of factory farming. I do not care about any other parts of the vegan philosophy and/or lifestyle.

Those items are plant-based products and do not claim anything else. I do agree that they are not part of a healthy plant-based diet but that is a different topic altogether.

The blog post starts with your same premise: pull out all the stops on working hard. It's just a choice. Why not have a startup that takes longer to grow?

To make the point clear: children raised by young and growing parents and different from children raised by old and established parents. Slow startups are different from fast startups. No judgement, they are just different. But the premise that a fast startup is the only way to do a startup is false. It's just choices for different outcomes.
Signal Server isn't some open source library you drop into a project. It's an application run in production on a shoestring budget.

I don't see much to complain about it. Most if not all are small non-issues that I wouldn't blame the Signal devs for ignoring to focus on what they view as higher value features.

Signal is free, it's secure, and its source if freely available online. I don't see much to sharpen my pitchfork over in this case...

>Do any of the Australia or EU belong to "low- and middle-income countries in the developing world"

Partly, yes. Some of the countries still play catch up after being part of or aligned with USSR up until it imploded in the beginning of the 90s.

If the EU countries were bidding against each other maybe a few exceptionally rich and small countries might have end up as Israel while others pay much much higher prices for not-better situation and the rest simply end up like Africa.

I don't think that the contracts would have made any difference in the supply. If that was the case, US could have simply be done before Trump loses election by pouring it's enormous monetary resources. I don't think that US run out of paper for contracts in the Trump era.

It's actually a very important piece of news.

The Nazi movement was originally a far-right movement that spread propaganda that worked exactly like the article claims. They preyed on people's fears. Just look up old anti-Semitic propaganda and you'll see the same techniques employed by the far-right on Facebook.

The "hard problem" is only a problem at all because it is ill defined. I don't get why many people think the hard problem is a problem. We think therefore we are.

What would a solution to the so called (I argue non-existent) hard problem look like?

Why is the hard problem a problem?

What new, useful information would "solving" it deliver?

Ah since we know why humans share a common qualia for red now we can do X?

I don't get it. Attempting to rationalise away an irrational premise, i.e. a hard problem exists, is always going to fail to convince believers. What is the point in attempting to define something that is ill-defined to start with?

Here is my position. Consciousness is a word. What it means varies over time and and space and according to who uses it. The mental model of who uses it may or may not correspond to objective reality in a broad or narrow sense. Magic is a word too. Just because we can explain N magic tricks does that mean that there is some "essence" of magic that is left unexplainable, i.e. the hard problem of magic? Just because we can come up with words for things does not mean that we actually know what we are talking about. I think "consciousness" as a word is not concretely defined therefore I am sceptical of a single unified natural phenomenon underlying the word. Giving a mental model a name does not necessarily give it reality.
Flying Wild Alaska was similar, a documentary series about a family-run airline in Alaska. It is a bit less sensational than Ice Pilots NWT. Somewhat less "will they - won't they" repetitiveness and more calm wide nature shots. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Wild_Alaska
I think the initial intent of feminism was that "have it all" meant "here is a buffet of life paths and each individual is free to pick which ones they want in order to live a meaningful life."

But somehow that's turned into, "we put all of the life paths on your plate and if you don't eat them all, you're a failure". We went from "you can" to "you must".

Maybe there's something fundamental in the nature of esteem and prestige that leads to this. We don't see to be good at building cultures that understand there can be many entirely disparate ways to live that are equally successful.
I've been at jobs now for ~7 years and subjected to this. Everyone has to list what they're working on, everyone else ignores what is being listed/talked about until it is their turn and I feel like I'm repeating myself 10x a day. It sucks.
Please don't throw around diagnoses like that. You're not wrong, but the hallmark of psychiatric disorders is usually degree, not nature. Everybody checks out from time to time; ADHD people just do it more. You are not equipped to make that call, here.
I like the expression "*ist" as an all-around catchall way to describe people who stereotype groups of other people in any way, shape or form that is loosely correlated with some attribute.

Don't be an *ist.

(My favorite -ist construction is "wingism", the stereotyping of people of the other political persuasion- I think it's just as destructive to a society as other *ist's)
Even with significantly less stuff there was more stuff than you could ever consume. In addition, the cost and barriers to hosting static content have fallen quite a bit since then, and the percentage of the human population that has access to the internet (and can thus participate in creation) has risen dramatically. An ad-free internet would not be starved for content.

The broadband situation varies greatly across the US because we're such a big, sprawling country. Much of my city has access to symmetric 1G/1G connections, for example. Google has even been offering free fiber internet to public housing and select affordable housing buildings ( https://support.google.com/fiber/answer/6349491?hl=en ). Meanwhile, my friend who doesn't live very far from me is limited to DSL because he lives in a sparse location where houses are few and far between, making it prohibitively expensive to run new broadband infrastructure to everyone.

Mandating high speed internet access for everyone sounds great until you look at the costs for running new infrastructure to some of our more remote, rural cities.
> Of course women should follow their heart and we should build a society that allows them to do so on equal terms, but we should not discourage homemaking and stigmatize people who want to raise children.

I think that many women do actually have the desire to be mothers in their hearts, and that they repress this desire in the current social context because having children is no longer something that confers high status upon you.

Changing that would fix the birth rate. As a man, I do actually feel empowered and somehow more complete and grounded by virtue of having a family; but I know that before I had kids, I didn't really look at dads that way. Changing that perception, returning the family to a position of honor rather than just portraying it as a drag that stops you from doing all the great fun stuff out there in the world, would do wonders on that front.

Sometimes it feels like a concerted effort has taken place to knock the family off of the pedestal.
I would say the hard problem of consciousness is the problem of relativity. How do you see what happens in a different reference frame? Well, you can speculate, model, imagine it, but you can't see it. To see it you must be in that reference frame an look right from there. When you're in place of mind, you see what happens in it, otherwise you don't and can only speculate, model and imagine.

What is the data you have to back this?

Goldman Sachs analyzed 4,481 U.S. IPOs over the past 25 years and this is one of their conclusions:

"Since 2010, IPOs with annual sales growth greater than 20% have been more likely to outperform Russell 3000 over three years than a comparable, slower-growing IPO"

Jay Ritter, professor at University of Florida, has a great table [1] that shows that companies with $100m in ARR who IPOed from 1980-2018 (n=3,299) have an average of 40.8% in returns on a buy and hold strategy 3 years after IPO, compared to 0.8% from the market.

Gumroad: The Android of the Creator Economy That Powered $142M in GMV
My question is regarding why would a single language codebase be easier to comprehend/have fewer bugs, security holes? In terms of a single program it makes sense, but I seldom read the source code of a library for example I depend on - if it has a good public API, it could be written in anything for all I care.

Not trying to dismiss the idea at all, just I don’t yet see “the light”, so to say.
There are browser APIs, as well. However, network performance may vary. Personally, I would add textual information, like an estimate of the time required.

Actually, he does discuss this in section 4b. He doesn't come out as strongly in favor of it, "The jury is still out on whether to recommend this one wholesale," although he does list what he considers some advantages. He also acknowledges in section 6 that it doesn't work for non-moveable types.

We agree. The Chinese Room Argument offers little insight into consciousness. All it really does is to take someone with confused thoughts on how 'understanding' works (specifically the way intellectual competence interacts with consciousness), and to tie them in a knot.

It fails to demonstrate anything interesting about consciousness. It certainly doesn't demonstrate that computer systems can never be conscious in the way we can. Nothing in the argument applies any more or less to neurons than to transistors.
I feel like the moonshot or bust VC startup mindset is the problem here. The startup fantasy is that you're going to take investment to build a multi-billion dollar company. But most people don't need anything close to a billion dollars to do everything they want in life, so it's unfortunate that many peoples' idea of entrepreneurship is tangled up in this unicorn playbook. This version of entrepreneurship is just a status game for young white men, and the rest of us should probably consider other options.

Most middle class people would be radically more secure and happy with only a few million dollars over our current level of wealth. It sounds like a tall order, but it's a pretty low bar in the world of business. There's a huge range of financial outcomes that would be amazing success for individuals that would be miserable failures for a VC-funded company. Those are the sweet spot, because they change your life without attracting VC-backed competition.

So I see the question as: What is the easiest and most predictable way to reach my wealth target in the next 3-4 years instead of the next 30-40 years? Trading time for money won't get me there. The best answer I've come across is to create a simple idea for subscription physical product or micro-SaaS, validate the customer need, presell, then build/manufacture, and sell the shit out of it. Emphasis on selling not building.

People like to look down on the "lifestyle" business, but this seems like the best option for most people because it can be a vehicle to accumulate a life-changing amount of wealth (millions not billions) without the expectation from VC gatekeepers that you will be sacrificing every other part of your life at the alter of the business. As long as you're not yolked to the expectations of investors, you can scale your effort on the business up or down as your life and ambition dictate.

> it would be irresponsible for us to adopt while both of us are working.

You are falling into the classic nerd trap which is doing an absolute evaluation when you should be making a relative comparison.

The question is not, "Can I raise this adopted child in the optimal way?" The question is, "Will I raise this child at least as good as the other parents they are likely to end up with instead?"

It's not like if you don't adopt them they get whisked away to a magical realm populated full of only perfect parents. Also, your parents weren't perfect but you probably turned out OK.
I don't understand how your comment relates to what you are quoting.

Password policy enforcement is done on the plain text password, during initial account creation or during a password change workflow. Then, the password and salt are hashed and the result and the salt are stored.

When the user tries to login they then provide the plaintext password; the salt is retrieved, it is added to the password, the result is hashed, and the hash is compared to the stored hash.

Since the space of all passwords is larger than the space of all hashes, there is a theoretical possibility that the user can provide a different password than the original plaintext, and this new plaintext + the salt happens to have the same hash, so the login system (which has no idea what the original plaintext was) will accept it.

With any halfway decent cryptographic hashing function this is less likely than winning every lottery in the world at once with the same ticket.
