This is written by some out of touch people. Sooner or later children (along with adults) are going to live most of their social lives in some non-physical form. Doesn't matter of it's on a computer, phone or VR, wearable or something else we haven't come up with yet. It might be instagram or snap or tiktok or something else. What it DEFINITELY will not be is the physical world. You lost that fight already. Maybe some rich parents will be able to spend a huge amount of money to craft a childhood that is physical first but for the majority of children, that will be out of reach.

And rightly so - children are just mimicking what the adults around them are doing. The parents are socializing, working and finding dates on their phones. It's just a better and more efficient way or doing something. When those children grow up they will have to navigate that same world. Is it a better experience overall? Probably not. Will killing instagram for children make a difference in the long term? No way.

A supermarket chain decided to feature a Black family in their Christmas ad last year, and some of the response on Twitter was frustrating: https://thetab.com/uk/2020/11/17/if-you-have-an-issue-with-t... (this link is an opinion piece and not a neutral observation)

If I could respond to the complainer saying "The UK is majority white, why don't your ads represent that?", I'd ask him, how many TV ads, and in particular Christmas ads have had white people, yet 1 ad feature a Black family and you're offended?

Right, but then as a simple hedge against inflation there many alternatives. Also, that would mean in a deflationary economy like Japan in the last 30 years, housing would be a horrible investment.

I had technophobe parents like this. When other kids got technology I had to do without to build character or whatever.

Lesson I learned is that adults are mostly pretty dumb and stubborn. Haven’t seen ‘em in 15 years.

This wasn't necessary as a syntax addition before Class keywords. Doing JS the old fashioned way you would simply leave #foo inside a scope only A could access. IIFE (Immediately invoked function expressions) made a lot more sense to me than this Class restructuring. Which is all the more frustrating because it's just that, a restructuring. The JS fundamentals of scopes haven't changed.
Must've been a while since being a child, huh?
I mean, I get where you're coming from, but your ideological stance not gonna help your child at all.

As opposed to the stance (admittedly also ideological, but I agree with this one) that facebook and all its subsidiaries should gtfo children's lives.

>> Why aren't parent ready to take responsibility?

There are two ways to look at this, imo:

(1) Individual parents. Absolutely agree. If you are one, do your research and limit internet use.

(2) Societally... It's hard. Culture doesn't move as fast as tech does. If SV culture isn't totally caught up, where is the average culture? It's hard because "think totally independently" isn't how people work, at least not all the time. Especially when it comes to parenting, people rely on norms.

Meanwhile, it's hard to control those little Bs.
I'm honestly amazed at the popularity of GitHub Actions.

Whenever we over-anthropomorphize animals, we are disappointed; but, whenever we under-anthropomorphize them, we tend to be surprised.

Those numbers are wrong. I don't know why -- they're probably just years out of date.

Yes! This is a value I kind of missed in my description. We have a static html site right now, its lightning fast and easy enough for me to maintain, but we'll be moving to Squarespace internally on the next site update. Right now our contact form is annoying to maintain, non-developers can't easily make changes and images aren't automatically optimized. It just solves too many problems at too low of a cost, in dollars and other things.
Just a suggestion, complete your degree even if it takes you years to do so. Consider continuing to take classes. I worked early in my 20s was doing undergrad simultaneously. It became exhausting and also wanted to have a free social life. I started making enough money and didn't feel the degree was actively helping me at the time. I'm glad I took the break I did, I think I needed it. Then I continued after a two years break and competed the degree p/t in the course of the next few years. Interesting CS courses and the slower volume made it for an even greater experience, I could enjoy taking 2 classes a semester while having a social life too. The college diploma may seem like a dead weight as it's not a bid deal as Undergrad education is not what it used to be but it is a clear differentiator in obtaining a job, if you and a potential candidate have similar skills, the one with the degree would get an advantage. Good luck!

Possibly, yes? It’s not my cryptocurrency, it’s just one I’ve used and known about for a few years. Dogecoin is something else; I don’t know how that meme coin got so big.
Also by your same logic, should we not trust the USDC stablecoin because it’s #18? Lol
Really? In North American english, a flashlight is a handheld light, there is no thought of the toy you're referring to when it is mentioned. That "light" got its name as a play on flashlight. It's funny to see that now become the primary connotation in some peoples minds.

> Letting your cat roam free is a tacit acknowledgment that one doesn’t really care that much for the animal

This is untrue. I've owned both indoor cats and indoor/outdoor cats. Anyone who has seen the joy that a cat experiences while outdoors would never claim that a cat owner who wants their cat to experience this joy, "doesn't really care that much for the animal".

Maybe an outdoor cat will live a shorter life than an indoor cat, but that hasn't been my personal experience. In fact, I had an outdoor cat that lived for 22 years. In any case, a shorter but happier life is not without its merits.

The cat I currently have is an indoor-only cat, but she only rarely displays the kind of joy that my outdoor cats would routinely. As for walking her on a leash, I have tried, but she will not tolerate the harness, and will manage to escape from it if I persist.

> Most books are rated between 3 and 4. Its really hard to tell if that rating is accurate

Sometimes I agree with you (because it's annoying to me too), but other times I feel like that's accurate. The difference in quality between a book that's in the 75th percentile quality-wise among the books I've read and a book that's in the 25th percentile is not very large! I'd say, by and large, most books that get published are pretty good. Few of them are completely flawless or life-changing, and that's okay. 3-4 seems about right for 50% of the books I read.

If you combine that basic fact with a range of people with differing tastes, you get even more reversion to the mean, so just about every book has a 3-4 rating.

The same goes with beer. If you check the major beer rating sites, you'll see most beers end up with a 3-4 rating. Personally I think movies have a much wider range in quality, but you still see this effect somewhat with IMDb: a huge proportion of movies is in the 6-8 range.

You might think that the ratings would be more useful if what we got was a percentile rather than an absolute rating, and that might be right... or it might disguise the fact that I really would get close to the same amount of enjoyment out of a 3.5 as a 3.9, even though they're separated by 30 percentiles or whatever.

I think that is mostly compensated by bachelors taking an additional year.

I don't know if what parent comment says is true at all, but if it is I think it's because historically universities didn't have a Bachelor's/Masters system in Europe. At least in Germany and the Netherlands you would study for 5 years and that is still the expectation. For less academically inclined students there are other options such as trade schools.

In this vein [but slightly off topic], can anyone point me to high profile megacap EU startups? The only one that comes to mind is Spotify. I was speaking with some people the other day and probably due to a NA centric focus we were at a lack of well branded EU starts up that had made it similar to US ones.
Java is rock stable and "complete". Not just the language itself. Build tools, JVM, profiling, dependency management. Everything is at least decent, most language problems were solved years ago. I have used many languages and nothing comes close to Java in the balance of speed, flexibility, ecosystem, and polish. If you're not sure which language will be best for a project, Java is perfect.

I work on a codebase with hundreds of thousands of lines that haven't been touched in 15 years. We're on Java 11 with plans to update to 17 later this year. Our 8->11 upgrade took me 3 days on a million+ line codebase. And when we released there were zero bugs related to the upgrade.

Java has the stability keep projects maintainable over decades. The only mainstream language with comparable backwards compatibility is C.

To add to this point, I think we’re seeing a clear recognition that space travel and infrastructure is shifting out of the Defense sector and into the private sector.
Not trying to play negative. It is not about building. Developing the product is only 10% of the game. The rest 90% lies in marketing and sales. There are several interesting HN discussions on how these complicated enterprise behemoth survive and flourish.

Moreover if you really want to attract people into your ideas you need to tell a bit more about yourself. Why should I join force with you? What are you bringing on the table?

To be fair, building a static website and hosting on something like Azure Blob Storage Static Websites with an Azure Function for your contact form (or Azure Static Web Apps for both in one solution) would cost cents (pennies) a month have about the same maintenance fees, if you know what you're doing.

You're not going to have any support with that though and lacking the CMS part of it, and if you want to use any of the more advanced features like Ecommerce then you're going to have to spend a while building that.
Maybe this is a regional thing but one of the major premises of the article doesn't hold for me. I almost never see Goodreads in Google search results for books. I'm not even sure I EVER have.
Is it just me, or is FLoC simply an act? A way for Google to say, "See, regulators, we're trying! You don't have to regulate us, we're doing it on our own!"

While they know full well the web will never get on board with this.

Seems like just a way to buy time, to muddy the waters. Make the ecosystem more complicated. Pin the blame on others for not getting on board with your attempt to "fix" the situation. "We tried our best, but Mozilla won't join us!!"
There is an enormous difference between some parents going through the effort to healthily manage their kids' screen time, and making the societal default lower screen time for _all_ kids. I could see the former just being incredibly alienating and depressing, as all the other kid's may have access to these things.
Arguably, "strength of character and depth of personality" is something inherent to the people, not something they get in or from a university.

So if you could such a metric, it would reflect which university manages to attract the best highschoolers, not which university is best at educating them (i.e. which university is likely to improve you most should you choose to go there) or producing research results.
The point of the article I think is that while many criticisms of a piece of research are valid, they are not necessarily meaningful. Because of their validity (despite being not meaningful), such criticisms can be weaponized to undermine any piece of research that does not fit your worldview...indeed, I see this regularly on HN...which is why I posted the article.
I've also been enjoying Readng.

I'm mostly looking to share what I'm planning to read/am reading/have read with a small circle, and for that it's pretty much ideal. There's some basic collection functionality, but no complex library management, no discussions, no recommendation engine, and not very much metadata. It's probably not for everyone, but the minimal approach is refreshingly low-friction. Kudos to the creator(s) for the overall experience.

My only gripes so far have been that search is hit-or-miss (especially for non-fiction), all searches sometimes yield results in an unpredictable order (where an exact title match might be buried amongst partial or seemingly unrelated matches), and the cover they pick is sometimes less-common or downright obscure.
I assume those bits of runtime could be modified to have other special markers on the functions they need to special case...
What do you think is a bigger problem for your children, Instagram or the fact that they have a parent who becomes absolutely furious in reaction to a pretty harmless Internet comment, using language like "I worry myself sick and drive myself to exhaustion" and "make my kids rebel against my wishes"?

I used the Internet however I pleased when I was a kid and I turned out fine. Maybe you should just let your kids use the Internet however they please rather than trying to control it.

At least looking at the archive.org version of the site it looks like just providing a way of building a username out of hash(phone number, website). I'm not seeing information about passwords or authentication and I wouldn't treat knowledge of someone's phone number to be at the same level of a password.

So, to me it looks like marketing hype without substance. It would be useful for the site to be online and not giving 500 errors though to see if they had anything else.

Having studied and worked in universities in the US, France, Russia, the UK, and Japan, this is closest to my experience. US universities like Harvard have a ton of money that they can throw around in order to get the best researchers. The one downside for professors is that since students are often paying so much, they expect a better teaching experience, meaning more lectures, more office hours, more feedback, etc. This is particularly the case in business schools.
My mistake, Bitcoin transaction fees are lower around $25 according to this chart[1]. Everything else in my comment still stands though.

I didn't ask for it. I just found about it after the fact and not being a professor I have no say in the matter. Also, I'd prefer to keep my job since I have a family to feed.

> Are you sure you want Google to have definitive answers for “Work” and “Home”? I know they already infer it by tracking overnight location; but

I would say the root problem is that supplying any information to a Google app is by default assumed to mean "This should be uploaded to a persistent profile of user data."

They could just let me set a Home and Work location on my phone and leave that data on my phone (regardless of tracking preferences), or they could store it in a more private mechanism with a key that lives on your device (see Chrome bookmark sync), but they choose to not do any of that.
Certainly helped but that is but one lens to look at it. Another lens is the US is endowed with incredible amounts of natural resources that have been utilized over the last century where as former super powers didn't have that same capability. A gross oversimplifications for sure but part of the equation.
I get where you are coming from as an idea, and generally I agree you should own your data. That being said you can export your data from Squarespace, you just can't "transfer" your site to alternative hosting because the platform is proprietary. So it isn't that they won't let you leave, it is that you are trading (pros) not having to think about hosting and security for (cons) slightly higher migration costs, and I think in this case pros outweigh the cons for sites below a certain level of scope.
> Indeed yes I meant cells, I'm not a native English speaker.

You're doing fine. Native English speakers don't know the difference between cell or battery either. This is more of a precise / technical engineering distinction.

* 9V Battery (https://imgur.com/FHJdhIK), a collection of 6x cells.

* AAAA Cell (one singular chemical reaction of 1.5V)

Notice that the imgur is wrong: they call it a AAAA battery (when the proper term is a AAAA cell).

--------

"Battery" is a bunch of objects doing one task. Originally, a "battery" described cannons. Or two rooks (in chess) that work together. Or... 6x 1.5V cells working together to produce a 9V battery.
