> Why should research be private?

Nobody said it should be so who are you asking this question to?

Does Europe have a better way to do research that isn't private? Research output suggests that they do not.

As someone who grew up in Normandy, it does little to me obviously. Except the part on what we lack and should do which is still so damn hard to convince people is the solution.

People in France care so much more on raising their kids, having good friends, living somewhere fun or interesting, having time away from work than they forget us the little busy bees who have to pay for all that.

I gave up after 3 years of work and taxes and being called "rich" by everyone around me for earning 40k usd/year. Moved to Hong Kong, tripled my salary and fuck these hedonists.

Life is a purgatory where you must suffer away from your family to build great consumer objects, like California taught us. You can be proud.
Nobel Laureates Warn 'Humanity Taking Colossal Risks with Our Common Future'
It's not just better worker protection. It's the whole system that has more social safeties for everyone.

You might be better off with better conditions working for a top American company but you are not most people, you are part of a privileged few who had the capacity (opportunity, financial, intellectual) to be part of a a select who can enjoy this position.
You're also dependent on your company to provide these benefits.

Having competition from company on benefits is great for everyone but there must be a minimum for anyone in a society to be protected against predatory companies and to not have to work multiple jobs to feed their family.

Having a minimum of protection, knowing you will get support if you lose your job, get cared for if you get sick and when you get old, have an education that is not financially elitist, make enough to live -modestly- and feed your family on a single job,... these are worth a lot to a society.

Everyone is free to argue the cost of that of course, but it's a way to reduce disparity and the risk of poverty.

No system is ideal, and if you are lucky enough to have your skills in great demand then you have a chance to make a very decent life for yourself. For most people that's not really the case though and it's shouldn't be left solely to the randomness and kindness of the company you work for.

Specifically, look at the USGCRP Climate Science Special Assessment: Volume 1: Chapter 6: Temperature Changes in the United States
https://science2017.globalchange.gov/chapter/6/

Scroll down to figure 6.3. You can see that the 1920's to 1940's had more extreme heat events than any time since. Figure 6.4 is also useful to look at.

Another book examining albedo modification admits their futility:
"The uncertainties in modeling of both climate change and the consequences of albedo modification make it impossible today to provide reliable, quantitative statements about relative risks, consequences, and benefits of albedo modification to the Earth system as a whole, let alone benefits and risks to specific regions of the planet."

Or just find the climate gate code from a few years back and see how horrendous it is for yourself.
I agree with you, it might not necessarily be narcissism that causes someone to always do the bare minimum in life. What it really comes down to is lack of discipline.
Man that really got you riled up didn’t it?

It’s relevant because the reason the languages were confounded was for the exact same problem we have today. Too many people with a megaphone. Too easy to spread information, good or bad.

Please point to where I’ve mentioned either facebook or youtube. No idea where this is coming from.
Well the idea is that you exchange $250k of dollars for $250k of land, brick, and lumber, and those will appreciate at a few percent per year.

Renting on the other hand is money out the door. You're not building any equity.
I forgot about that! Glad you came out ok in The Planet explosion, I remember that, it was insane. Fun fact: IBM now owns The Planet’s assets via Softlayer.
Our neighbors kid doesn't work, in early twenties, lives with mother. I was trying to sell my house and needed tons of lawn work. I was able to get a quote for $650 which seemed high.

So I did what I would have wanted. I walked over to the neighbor kid and asked "Would you take $550 to fix up our lawn?". He looked at me like I was an alien. He said one word, "no", then awkwardly walked away.

I would have killed to get a job offer like that in my early twenties, probably two days of work for $550! Would have grabbed a friend, six pack of beer and finished it -- that day -- and used the money for books!

The article was all over the map and didn't have anything inciteful to say. I was amused to see the college admissions scandal brought up since only one of the several colleges involved was Ivy League.
> knowing you will get support if you lose your job, get cared for if you get sick and when you get old, have an education that is not financially elitist, make enough to live -modestly- and feed your family on a single job

But North American companies also outperform on this.

My health insurance is better than a local company. My sick coverage is better than a local company. My educational opportunities are better than with a local company. My ability to support my family are better than a local company. Even my time off is better than a local company!
The basic flaw in your argument is someone with a degree, high paying job, who spends most of the day at an office doesn't necessarily have the same personality as me so isn't necessarily a mirror image.

I chuckled a little at your comment because you are sort of the anti Henry Higgins, the character who sings "Why can't a woman be more like a man?" in the famous play set in 1917

"reasonable" is pretty much meaningless. How do you determine what is "reasonable"? Who determines that?
East Asia industrializing does not somehow diminish Europe or the U.S., so measures like "global share of GDP" for the continent have nothing to do with the subject matter at hand, which is why Europe, with certainly a sufficiently large GDP, is not able to give birth to large corporations at the same rate as the U.S.

Now we can argue whether being able to do this is a good thing or a bad thing. But for some reason companies in Europe tend to grow at a slower rate. Is this good? It's a tough call. But it has nothing to do with national GDP, and throwing in non-sequiturs comparing GDPs of nation states is not contributing to the discussion.
I guess in the sum of all things, the motions of Steve Jobs could only amount to what it did. One might consider him a genius, if not for the difficulty of determining the true distribution of efforts and talents at Apple.
Understanding cryptography and smart contracts, what if the increasingly complicated smart contracts you describe have bugs?

> For example you could make a master key that overrides all others but requires an unlock Tx followed by an arbitrary escrow delay where funds are locked.

At what point is switching to a more classical database both worth the increase in efficiency by several orders of magnitude, and the decreased reliance on bug-free code?
The "Statistics::Descriptive" example (near the end of the article) has to be a bug in the relevant library, right?

Even the naive floating implementation can't possibly get it this wrong for just 4 numbers.

The article is about migrating from RDS Postgres 9.5 to RDS Postgres 12, which is only feasible with Bucardo. Major version upgrade is less of a pain point these days with logical replication, and even Google Cloud SQL started to support logical replication since about a week ago, after a painfully long wait.

Meanwhile, you are talking about schema migration? In that case, gh-ost indeed is the best tool available. With Postgres, most types of schema migration can be done instantly with just a metadata change, or otherwise be done concurrently without locking the table. So a tool like gh-ost is not as vital, but still valuable for edge cases such as:

- altering the column type: requires table rewrite

- adding an index concurrently onto a busy server: a throttle would be nice
> The whole point is doing your duty to protect the vulnerable.

By potentially harming myself? Who exactly charged me with this duty and was it by my choice?

Do you assume that HN harbors the same groupthink that reddit does? Do you not want discourse? Do you assume all others believe what you believe (that we have some obligation to potentially harm ourselves for the good of the many thing)? That’s exactly what I love about HN, that thing called diversity.

Also your attempt to shame me into alignment of your believes failed.
Seems a little meaningless without knowing if growth slowed, or if developing countries are just going the steep sections of their growth curves.
Yes, you have to ask how many people don't realize their critiquing has an unconscious jealousy behind it. I used to be a student bum and lived in a van which prompted a guy from a house in the street to come out and berate me, at first he said I was scaring his kids but we kept talking because he seemed to want mostly to reconcile in his mind how I lived like this. He had several "but don't you.. but don't you want". To my "No, no no, I'm just happy... " Eventually I admitted something along the lines of "But I'VE had to work so hard [to get the things that I require for happiness]" (it's not fair)

One interesting architectural difference between Guix and Nix is there is no separation in Guix like what you see with Nix and nixpkgs. Guix and the packages are all just one massive repo of scheme. For Guix this tighter integration can be a development advantage. I cannot imagine how this can benefit targeting multiple platforms, which Nix is able to do with Linux, Mac, FreeBSD (as of 2020), yet somehow, Guix is able to pull off cross-platform support for GNU Hurd.
Well, if you want some changes made, you would have to define what you mean by "fixed" and come up with some concrete steps to do that, and then implement those steps, or find a person who can do them for you.

Erasure codes are indeed a great illustration of the scale concept. If your designing to tolerate 2 simultaneous failures with 3 drives you need RAID-1 with N=3, 3x the cost of a single copy. If you have 15 drives you can do 12-of-15 erasure coding which is only 1.25x the cost of a single copy.
I wouldn’t say that’s really universally true. I’ve found many people who met their long term partner online and had a plethora of people coming up to them. I’d say sometimes online is better for particular interests. (Depends on the app)

Outside is quite overrated. Unless you’re in a particular niche where forced interaction is a thing or you’re exposed to an endless amount of people who are interested in partnering, you’re going to have a bad time. (Even compared to online dating, the real world sucks a lot more these days for the average man - as you’re always competing with both even if you opt out of one) Add on the typical issues we have in our culture and well - it’s practically taboo to approach people these days out of the blue outside an app.

I’ve got a lot of experience with online and offline (“outside”) and both are quite horrific for the average man. Hell, I’m exceptional in some areas and I have had a hell of a hard time anyway. People really want their niche - whatever that is.

I’ve been fortunate to find someone and mostly fit their niche but it was a long road. A lot of people who wanted everything and expected to give nothing.
NFT Art Frame
This idea is very rough, feel free to add to it. How do most people currently display their NFTs? Smartphones and computers? I think it would be nice to have a digital picture frame of various sizes that could display your NFT. I am not sure that the digital picture frames on the market can currently do this. It would be worth doing further research about (as I do not own one). Regardless, if you spent a $100 or more on an NFT whether it is art, Cryptokitties, etc. it would be nice to display it somewhere prominent in your home. I would prefer that as opposed to needing to open my phone and NFT wallet to show somebody each time. Maybe a piece of hardware needs to be specifically branded for displaying NFTs. The challenge I see is making this frame affordable. Anyways let me know what you think! Thanks!
> Does a layperson know about how his/her condition is relevant to vaccination?

Hmm, maybe this is what you do, but do you really thing everybody goes to the Dr for everything? Some people are well within the means of deciding for themselves, some not. And when you have the “top” Dr in the nation failing to build trust by opening his mouth before he’s sure then all sane people have is themselves. It’s insane to me how many people blindly trust the vaccine when we have new information nearly weekly about how it effects different cohorts differently. But we’re sure it’s safe right? No, the reality is people don’t care if someone gets the vaccine and dies, “just do your duty”. I’m good.

>A person who does nothing with their life when they could be doing something is really a narcissist.

I spent a mere year after college living with my parents, a very long and sad year, wondering if this was going to be the rest of my life. My next real job came somewhat out of sheer luck and I'm thankful for it because I could totally see myself having given up, still back there to this day, still having no idea how to take my first step in a direction that actually motivated me beyond the baseline survival mode of wage-slavery. Not for one second during that time did I want to live like that, but it could have very well been the case anyway. Narcissism is far from the truth
Bullshit. There are problems but it's not because of some "war on masculinity". The real issues are economic.
Those very low-skill jobs that the minimum wage eliminated may not be worth the commute. For that matter, the company may add a bastardized version of those jobs to “other duties as assigned” to a higher-payed employee with a different primary role.

Containers are tents
My twin brother and I grew up without a biological father, were very independent at an early age, and both have high-paying jobs in faang. Both well-adjusted, multiple relationships, successful, etc.

I see a lot of Jordan Peterson-esque BS professing these “no biological father == neet” rules, and I’m not saying that’s the point you’re leading with your question, but am jumping at any opportunity to dispel it, just in case.
"they don't understand that there could be any reason to work hard"

The cultural pedestal of "working hard" is tragically misplaced. Market promotes those that work smart or gable at the right opportunity, corporate politics promotes the well connected, people that support their family or community the most deserve respect, but the poor folks stocking amazon warehouses 12 hours a day get screwed.

"In their minds, it's not really their fault that they are failures and they go to great lengths to convince other people of these lies."

sometimes it is really not their fault, but one day their parents will not be able to provide for them, and that's when the real tragedy will begin.
I'd trust FB with my data over say.. Equifax, and they have way more important data than my pulse. But they also got hacked for bad software maintenance and no one is constantly shitting on them.

A family member of mine has not ever had a job. Everyone has tried to help him. I've given him two jobs at two different companies personally. His mom works at a dollar store and a cheap clothing store just to pay rent. She begs him to work. He spends all his time playing Xbox. She's gotten to the point where she's going to kick him out and move in with her other son. He's responded by drinking and hanging out with homeless junkies. Thank fuck as far as i know he hasn't started doing the strange purple heroin they do nowadays apparently and shit. But it's really terrible watching this. He's almost 30. There's no reason this should be happening.

Albeit not exactly helpful, I just wanted to thank you for sharing this. Also not American, and I'm too in a pretty dark place right now. I gave up the opportunity of attending a undergrad program I dreamed of at a uni I dreamed of for years, and am sorta lost now. I have a degree in computer science so will be able to get some job (although I never really liked the industry) once my savings run out eventually. But this is really not where I hoped I would be just 2-3 years ago. I also don't play video games (but don't judge people who do of course)

This has a LOT to do with the fact that inherited wealth is distributed amongst a number of heirs and held in trusts that they aren't the full beneficiaries of.

The argument that the top few have self-generated wealth doesn't in any way impinge upon the larger trend of wealth being concentrated amongst a smaller cohort over time.

I'm a native of Washington, moved away in my teens and returned to Seattle 10 years ago, from Atlanta. Comparatively Seattle has a much less interesting food scene than Atlanta, and I don't think Atlanta is even considered to be a 'food city'.
