Why would it be a good idea to place the burden on the browser? That's like shooting the messenger.

All of these websites whose life seems to depend on being personal-data-thieves should simply go the way of the dinosaur. If you can't make enough money to keep your site afloat without violating people's rights, then your website shouldn't exist.

What I'd prefer, and where browsers could actually play an integral part, is an easier system for online (micro)payments. Want to read this article? Pay €0.05 please. No registration required. Want a monthly subscription? That'll be €5/month, please create an account.

I loved the web when most websites were either run by universities, or by people who just wanted to share. You know, when things were actually free. Now it seems like everyone and their grandmonther wants to profit off of every little blog by selling my personal data. Which is ridiculous, considering it's an order of magnitude cheaper to host a site than it was in the 90s.
I am guessing he is expecting to share pics with users who did not sign up. It maybe a one time thing.

But I think you need user logged in because of encryption.
Thank you for sharing this, it was a fun comment to read. The effort itself is commendable and I understand why you would leave the remaining work for others.

For some reason the prose reminds me of Allan Quatermain, which was a book I just couldn't get through.
Another result of this, is that males outnumber females, so there’s a lot of single males unable to find a partner. This is because parents generally preferred boys as their only child.

China (and India) are dealing with population numbers never before seen, at a scale that is inconceivable without special training or focus (whats the difference between a million and a billion? about a billion). It is a mathematical possibility that growth rates overshoot and settle into patterns of boom and bust - and a bust in human populations can get really ugly.

"It hasn't happened in the last 2 centuries" isn't an argument against Malthusian collapses either. China has a long memory.

I have a lot of sympathy for the argument that the One-child Policy was a mistake. In my view, it was. But I also have a lot of sympathy for the people who implemented it. As ideas go it isn't an obvious mis-step in the class as, say, Communist economic policies.

Can you think of a law ("stopping rule") that could even get the expected number of boys higher than the expected number of girls?

Yes, but at that time this was not actionable anecdotal evidence as the CDC insisted to reinvent their own flavor of PCR tests, failed and did not mitigate properly by e.g. asking for help. It allowed everyone to close eyes and hope for the best for some crucial months.
I don't know if it's accurate, but several sites have it at 1,908K krona, which is about 230K USD. Add in the sector - I would imagine that tech CEOs earn more, even in Sweden - and cost of living, and 300K USD doesn't really seem that over the top.

1. Connect with a private browser session so that you get a fresh "Accept Cookies".
2. You are asked whether to "Accept All" (highlighted), or "Manage Settings".
3. You click on "Manage Settings". The cookie options are indeed unselected, but the only button says "Accept cookies".

You click to "Accept cookies" in order to not accept cookies!
This can be said about any geopolitical area if you look far enough into the history.
Saying "it's complicated" is a very poor excuse for the annexation. Similarly "complicated" are Taiwan, Tibet, Kashmir and tens of other regions in the world. There will never be peace if we're OK with actions like this.
This ranking has no factors pertaining to raising children other than those that also pertain to adults. For parents and prospective parents that makes it almost useless. If not for the quality of education in affluent parts of big cities and their suburbs the optimal plan for work life balance is to make bank in the big city then scale back to a nice small town. You can save enough to retire fairly easily given the low cost of living and low housing prices in small towns. But most small towns aren’t great environments for raising a kid.
It's crucial especially in practice for something in the real world like US gerrymandering, to remain aware that Arrow is talking about the hypothetical worst case. This isn't "No system can work" it's "No system will always work".

If out of 5000 voters, 4985 voters prefer Alice to anybody else, 10 prefer Bob and only 5 prefer Charlie; Arrow does not mean Bob and Charlie can tell their voters "See, nobody knows who really won". Alice won. Overwhelmingly the voters prefer Alice. Arrow has nothing interesting to tell us about this scenario.

But if only 2400 prefer Alice, 1800 prefer Bob and 800 prefer Charlie, it gets trickier and Arrow starts to appear on the horizon. After all, what if every one of those Charlie supporters hates Alice and would rather have voted for Bob than see Alice win? We can try to improve our system to try to ensure we get this case right, but Arrow proves that we can't ever do a good enough job for every such case.

Especially in the case of US election it's worth remembering that if you only have two candidates, Arrow doesn't actually apply at all. A straight-forward majority works fine if all you wanted to do was decide whether the Red or Blue team wins.

This list seems to have some sort of threshold and is only including cities of a population above some size. For the vast majority of people that is going to mean this list is useless. Big cities offer better lifestyles for a subset of the population.

But who is still loudly saying this disinformation and who is taking it seriously that it's worth bringing up whenever someone mentions that recycling is worthwhile? "Reduce, reuse, recycle" is in priority order too.
After the communist "land reform", the Chinese communist party / Chinese Government owns all the land in China. Now, local governments use land control and land sales as their major source of revenue. The end result is that vast majority of Chinese people live in small apartments, which are designed for 1 couple + 1 kid families. In big cities, average apartment size is around 60-80 sqm. In small cities, it could be 100-120 sqm. For a family of three kids to live in those small apartments, life is gonna be really tough.
How to use Node.js and Redis cache to speed up HTTP responses
My direct experience contradicts your direct experience. I'm Chinese, grew up in China until I was 5, and visit it every now and again.

> I have been told over and again (by Chinese people) that China is Han.

You are either selectively reporting, or selectively misremembering things based on your own existing prejudices. I have certainly talked to more Chinese people than you, and nobody has ever said this.

I lived in Berlin for 3.5 years, I found plenty of racism there as well; also in the UK and US where it's more subtle.

I'd assume your Chinese friends are a non-representative sample of Chinese people - likely, you are friends with them because they ran into issues with the government, and hence had similar interests and were attracted to the same events and locations. China has 1.4 billion people, this is bound to happen.

> little point in discussing anything China-related in Western internet forums.

Thanks for the advice, I am indeed trying to take it in moderation. I think it's important to try to maintain some level of healthy discourse though, the anti-China propaganda is taking the world down a dark path.

> Curious on what you think of what China is doing to the Uyghur people. Do you believe that this is fabricated by all these media outlets?

Yes, they are all citing the same fake reports written by a few people working non-independently, driven ultimately by geopolitical strategy and taking advantage of liberal media's existing prejudices to portray China as "evil". See https://www.qiaocollective.com/en/education/xinjiang - a collection of a large number of sources from many different people, working independently.
I see Tokyo and Hong Kong in there as well, which seems crazy. I know from experience in Hong Kong, that if you work in a local company, it’s almost expected to work overtime.
I understand her struggle to talk publicly and answer the same questions again and again, it could be a sign of being in the spectrum of authism, but what I don't understand is that she said multiple times that interviews and press conferences are trying to the mental health of athletes (but is it true?) and we know it because she said it to the press! So there are topics she shares with the media after all...

Moreover, by refusing to engage with the media, the media are now focusing even more on the fact that she refuses to talk to the press and will probably ask even more about it, instead of talking about her tennis skills.

Also: it's required by the contract the players sign to be part of the WTA.
The loans aren’t great if you are a student not living with their parents and studying outside of London if your parents have a household has a combined income of £45,000 you will be eligible for only £6000 p/a grant.

If we take a £80,000 combined household income which won’t go that far in London especially if the family has more than one child and still paying for a mortgage or what is becoming more and more common these days rent. And while 80K is more than double the median household income this literally can be the salary of say two teachers or police officers with some seniority then you are only eligible for £4000.

For Cambridge last time I checked student accommodations cost £150-200 p/w at the minimum. That more or less your loan gone on housing alone.

The university itself requires the students to have £10,000 (well £9880) per year for living expenses this means that a family making £40K needs to add about £4K or 10% of their pre-tax income to their child’s education even with the stipend.

It’s possible sure but many families simply can’t afford that.
And more importantly because students are required to show proof of funds the parents would have to prove that they have that money ready and quite possibly for the entire duration of the degree if their income is too low for the uni to consider them to be able to afford support.
Good luck.

With a shrunken generation of family to help due to 30+ years of one-child policy, and almost no social support (China does not really have socialized healthcare in practice) there's no one to help take care of larger families. But there is a HUGE number of rapidly aging parents and grandparents to take care of.

Add a culture that puts accumulating wealth as the #1 virtue, and it becomes nearly impossible to reverse a low birth rate.

In Canada Quebec has been paying French families to have more kids for a very long time. Today Quebec has the lowest provincial birthrate in Canada.
Thanks, this is good content!
Its a hard problem to solve don't even know a developed country that actually managed this problem well.
Come on.. you are being ridiculous. Also, how is your 500ms ping?
Could be. I don't see too many folks trying to "cross the aisle" though these days. And frankly, I have found that most conservatives are disingenuous about their reasoning for their political views.

But I sincerely applaud your less cynical outlook and wish I shared the same view.
Wouldn't running tests in docker on a fresh image creation solve this ?
Yes, also the private schools in the US that are comparable to Oxbridge all do need-blind admissions, and have very generous aid. Average cost paid at those schools is much lower than at mid-tier private schools or out of state schools. There are definitely a lot of indirect selection effects that lead to a smaller number of low income students at these schools, including legacy admissions at most of them as he points out. But acting like Harvard sorts by income in its admissions decisions is definitely not an accurate reflection of how things work in the US.
The terms the two of you are looking for in your discussion here are Pareto efficiency, and Kaldor-Hicks efficiency.

Your point is that not everyone is better off, so destruction is not a pareto improvement. Their point is that on net, value is increased, so in theory the ones who are worse off could be made whole through a wealth transfer, and there'd still be a surplus, a Kaldor-Hicks improvement.
"very strong employment laws" is Germany-wide and not specific to Berlin. Berlin has much less holidays than any other place in Germany. Beside that, Berlin has problems in all areas listed under "CITY LIVABILITY". There are much better places to live in Germany other than Berlin. I left Berlin to live in Lisbon, TBH I'm shocked that Lisbon isn't in the list at all, but for sure I would never come back to Berlin. Maybe Freiburg, Nürnberg, Kiel, even Potsdam, but Berlin? No way.
>> If I look Ukraine I see a country with an old rivalry with Russia, which the US stepped on to use as another proxy against it in the area.

Or you could see a country fed up with Russia's influence/politics that chose a different direction.

>> It's also a country whose an area has 60% Russian ethnicity population.

Wtf is this supposed to mean? Should the US send an army of "patriots" and start a civil war in Tatarstan?
If you don't have to rely on securing income in warmer cities, it's very workable.
They're not? Over here, periodic car inspections are mandatory. New car models can't be sold until they've been checked and found to be compliant with various regulations, presumably including loudness. I guess there will always be "car enthusiasts" who think that LoUD pIpEs sAvE LiVeS (they don't), but I don't see/hear heavily tuned cars anywhere near as often as in the early 2000s.
If the employees/CEO live in San Francisco I don't think paying them European salaries will be fair right? They wouldn't be able to afford rent with ~50k range salary. I think your argument makes sense if Wikipedia had been founded/has their HQ in Germany and was paying San Francisco salaries with their donations.
Does anyone know of a solution with robust search? Google Photos limits what terms it will actually find - whether due to technical limitations, prudishness, or some combination of the two, I don't know, but as an artist who uses my personal archive as an alternative to Pinterest to store reference, it's very frustrating how limited it's become.
I’m surprised to see Stockholm so far up in the list…
I bet SourceHut ( https://builds.sr.ht/ ) would be a good fit.
Curated reading to deal with stress at work
the best cities in the world by work life balance are always the ones where you can happily spend your non-working time freezing to death :)
It is for sure bad for all other countries in Europe.
I think this is more of "and they keep doing it!" story rather than claims for new behaviour.
Those were local family planning board decisions and never really applied in the cities. In fact, family planning was applied so unevenly across China that some people got in trouble for having one kid at all (because of corruption), or on their second kid had to give up their government jobs even though they technically had rural hukou.
I recently replaced my fridge because it was unbearably loud for me. The noise was pretty much the primary source of stress in my life, no exaggeration.

Perhaps it was on its way out anyway, but my new one is deathly silent, just the way I like it.
> how uni is any better than e.g. Udemy

Competent teachers with time for you and a body of advice (students, who have most definitely understood the material in the way it was offered if they are ahead of you) that isn't full of nonsense. There is something to be said for self-study when it comes to IT (I've learned significantly more on my own than at school), but it takes a lot of being able to recognise bullshit. That's not compatible with a lot of folks when they want to study.
As much as I'm torn with my feelings about nVidia as a company, especially recently with their attempts to artificially limit hardware you own, I must admit Jetson family is incredibly capable and very well executed.

I've been using Jetsons as RasPi replacements wherever I can, they are not only more capable but also much more reliable than RPI4s, in my not so limited experience.
I recently bought a pair of Sony active noice cancelling headphones and spend a lot of time in the house wearing them in noice calcelling mode without playing any music.
I find it takes away large amounts of anxiety and stress - and as much as you don't notice the silence quite that much, the second you switch them off it's surreal how noisy reality actually is.
Saying that, before I got them I was doing a lot of DIY round the house and would occasionally catch myself wearing ear defenders even hours later without realising, so it coukd just be me that's overly sensitive.
Yes, I live in Berlin and I'm very happy here. I have a good work-life balance. Wages aren't worse than elsewhere in Europe excl. Switzerland.
I think this is a mismatch between UK English where "quite" means "extremely" and US English where "quite" means "mostly".
ANC headphones have been a real increase in my quality of life. Being able to do the dishes or vacuuming while able to choose my own sound scape is very relaxing.

Will this result in more girls?

Currently people tend to stop having kids once they have a girl.

There are many families with an older sister and a younger brother(maybe why Peppa Pig is so popular) but far fewer with an older boy and a younger girl.
> No one here is arguing otherwise.

I thought you were, actually:

> someone would be getting screwed there (e.g. Uber, if they were forced to cover the difference to the driver).

This is a little meta, but it seems weird to describe company C getting screwed if they are "forced" to cover their contracts, even while agreeing that they ought to cover their contracts.

> What is your conception of "update" here?

No time travel required; "update" meant as Uber moves into the future and makes adjustments to how they approach new agreements. If riders change destinations in such a way enough, Uber can start lowering guarantees or use language like "expected" instead of "guaranteed", or charge a floor to future riders, or both.

In the specific case of this specific ride, Uber ought to pay out the amount they guaranteed, as you agree above, but there is no obligation of the rider to determine if or how their behavior impacts contractual language between Uber and the driver.
yes sure. Berlin is cool to visit. But to live there, commute there, use the public services there? Nope.
Well... maybe. But maybe, it is that much more important? Most jobs just add value locally and incrementally.

Software and finance are high-leverage jobs where improvements are instantaneously rolled out to large sections of humanity all at once and the potential change isn't incremental, it's epoch-defining.

> Services have operating costs

So does ordinary, non-service software (like mentioned, Linux, gcc or vim). Hosting of their websites, mailing lists, CI, time of developers... they all cost very real money. And yet, somehow these programs don't track you and sell your data.

I don't mind paid services, but I don't think they should get a free pass for being unethical just because they run on someone else computer, under a different label.
It's still sky-high to most of the world outside the US
That’s right.

We could generate public URLs that contain the decryption key of the album within the URL fragment. But as an encrypted storage provider, we would like to ship this only after we're reasonably confident that there are checks in place to prevent abuse.
Not surprised to see Australian cities so high. Most office jobs are a strict 9-5 and not a minute over. For outdoors only beaten by a few places in the US and Canada.
Have you considered the possibility that there are those who were drawn to that screen, and making it do what they want, at very young age, and never lost that sense of wonder and accomplishment when it did?

I do think that the sky high salaries are ridiculous compared to societal contributions of, say, a nurse or a teacher. But I also like very much that I get them for doing a job that I still do with a small on my face.

Democracy is the best we have for the people. But while the theory is sound, the practical implementation is usually flawed.

The people are "in power" just for that day while they're giving their blessing to their representative. After this, as long as things aren't too abrupt and disadvantage the regular person obviously enough to trigger a violent response, that representative can pretty much represent and defend any other point of view. Usually the one from the otherwise equal but not quite equal, much richer person. And with education being on the bottom of everyone's list, it just gets easier to cover these things up.

For things that concern interests far from home it's even easier. Freedom also means you're free to pump as much one sided information as possible. So as long as one can flood the people with Middle Eastern terrorism, Russian hackers, or Chinese human rights abuses, who's going to care about the home team doing the same even at home?

Superficially democracy is alive and well but it's like religion, most people observe it only in theory and when it matters to them personally. And when it does matter to them, it doesn't matter to enough other people. Which is why most talking points don't have a strong majority, and they're mostly dealt in a compromising way, which makes everyone equally unhappy (except a very few).
What? Has this ever occured in history?

Not sure you can really force people to have kids. I doubt that chinese women would accept this.
website plus gaming, a web game.

My Windows 10 Settings app has a "Rewards" icon. After opening 100 tabs with the Firefox container you get an achievement. On Xbox they have a rewards system for just using your console, like start a few different games.

In the future, the OS will have personalized ads everywhere, "hey buy your favorite cookie now!" inside Outlook, combined with achievements for using it correctly, "Two more emails for Master of Email!"

And of course social interaction, "Ann just saved the file annual report. Do you want to like and share?"

You also have to buy usage time with gold coins or wait 24 hours.
How so? Currently living there, have a nice park 1 min from the house, few pollution, no crime around here (beside graffit and a fire in an abandoned shack 2 weeks ago), growing bike infrastructure. I can go sailing in 30 min, Skiing and mountain climbing are impossible. Culturally one of the best in the world (and a lot cheaper than say NewYork at that). Job is great with 30 days vacation etc pp, though a little lower than in the US. The motorway is a bit noisy, though I am very strict there. Sure, if you live in a shitty neighboorhood, thats different, but thats different everywhere (as number of remote jobs also doesn't help you if you are not remote yourself)
