> If your response to child abuse, a lack of affordable childcare, and ok schooling is that the children shouldn't exist, you've lost me.

No, the argument is that some children shouldn't exist because some parents cannot afford to be successful parents.

It's odd to see such a pro-gambling position. On any other topic, no one would encourage people to make a risky gamble with someone else's life & happiness as collateral. And by the way, the loss you incur by not making a bet is not even close to the loss you can incur by losing this gamble. Clearly, you've never witnessed fates worse than death. I would never consider a life of misery & abuse preferable to non-existence.

And parental sacrifice is hardly the only factor. We know that children in lower socio-economic groups have significantly worse life outcomes on average. They have lower academic achievement, lower income, higher incarceration and crime rates. Will you pin that all on parenting? Poor parents just don't sacrifice enough? Doesn't matter how much you sacrifice when you can only afford a place in a high crime area and your child runs in with the wrong crowd and begins a generational cycle of incarceration. Doesn't matter how much you love your children when you have to spend most of your time at work away from them to afford basic necessities. Doesn't matter how much you want your child to succeed in school when you have neither the time nor education to even know how to help them. And we haven't even gotten to mental disabilities and neuroses yet. It costs money to manage those issues, more than some parents can possibly afford.

Everyone should have the right to make that choice. Reproductive rights are human rights. But if you believe you lack the basic resources to setup your child for success when the cost of failure literally isn't yours to bear, I could never accept that as an ethical choice. Bad outcomes are always possible regardless of wealth, but your wealth significantly alters risk and the whole equation to the point where one can say "that's a bad/good bet". If you knowingly make a bad bet, that's on you, except now your child has to pay the cost.
>They could genotype a subset of genetic markers. As long as the N of their sample is high enough (tens, hundreds), this would give sufficient precision

Doesn't the sample of markers have to be unbiased as well? How would they have ensured this?
Why do you single out the US? This is a worldwide problem.
I wrote a novel-shaped object (OK, it was never printed, so "object" is perhaps a bit bold) over about 6 months, by the simple expedient of making sure I spent at least 15 minutes every morning with the NSO editor open. Target was "Minimum one word", but (apart from a long stretch in the middle), more like 500-1500 words per day.

The long stretch in the middle was when I had to figure out how to deal with the main character dying half-way through, due to the logic of the story. That took a fair bit of revising previously written prose and setting things up for a sequel character, as it were (the main "protagonist" of what was intended as a series was an organisation, not an individual; as it turns out, there's a reason that is not a common format).

I'm frankly amazed he quit and wasn't fired, and that google allowed him to be openly critical.

I guess he already had a following early on? and if they dissapeared him later it would have looked bad?

It's like there is literally no developer support from google when your app gets taken down for no reason, unless you have a big twitter following and complain there, then they fix it.

Keeping the facade could mean the house is still the old house in a Theseus’ ship kind of way, which could mean it only has to comply with building codes from when it was originally built.
The odd thing is that each company wants to grow far above the average for the economy, which doesn't add up. Their entire reason for existence is "exponential growth", which can't exist in nature for very long. Greed drives underhanded tactics and rewards conniving. It would be better to be satisfied with a handsome profit and a good life with interesting problems to solve and contributions to ones community. That's the way to build a resilient society. Whatever we are building, I fear it isn't resilient.
>> In 1989, when baby boomers were around the same age as millennials are today, they controlled 21% of the nation’s wealth. That’s almost five times as much as what millennials own today.

This doesn't seem to document OPs claim of mililians owning 1/6 of what their parents did.

When the boomers were 30 there people didn't live as long, so there were fewer old people to own things.

I'd like to know how much milinials own in absolute terms compared to the boomers.

> Americans rank among the highest in living space per Capita, so we spend emit a lot of CO2 heating and cooling spaces that we're not even inside.

Well, I've known quite a few lower class, paycheck to paycheck families, and they would NEVER run an AC or heater without someone in the room. Poor people aren't the reason all that CO2 is being emitted, it's the people with multiple houses.
To be fair so far it looks like it's just VNC from a browser. Call me when I open an app and it's transparently run from a remote server, similar to what they've done with the Windows Defender Application Guard (i.e. it looks like a regular Edge window, but it's run in a VM)

Opening a browser in a OS in a browser in a OS isn't that revolutionary. Cloud Gaming demonstrated this decades ago.

Fleming is a monument that reminds people of their remarkable past. When an inferior ideology wants to claim people's minds, it needs to first dismantle those monuments or, at least, erase any records of what those monuments were about, because they would constantly remind people of what the new ideology really is. To be frank, christianity wasn't very different at the very beginning. This time, though, we have this Internet thing and erasing history is hardly doable.
Is that the full story?

Intuitively it seems to me the better place would be either where the coal is or where the ore is. Either that or it doesn't matter, as long as it's between them and not somewhere else altogether.

- So you are telling me I should take responsibility because no-one in society should have responsibility ;) (half-badly rephrasing with humor). On one side, it burns the claim that it’s a society, it means we’re just independent units with no love for each other; On the other it’s assuming that I didn’t try everything first. I’ve lived in 4 countries, went across the world, participated to a dozen charities (>200hrs each), took my friends out regularly, did sports, I mean I did go around the block and tried everything I knew how to try and took my fair share of ownership.

- But my mother hates dogs because they’re competing with her in terms of affection (or total lack thereof), and relationships don’t click with me, because most parents develop their child’s socialization and mine acted as if socialization wasn’t a subject. In some sense, their education taught me to rely on my skills, not on socialization (independence as a principle, which became loneliness). I have no example in my 38 years where I could rely on others when I was in need.

- It seems I have the face of someone to be stepped upon (I don’t know, some people have a face you want to slap, perhaps I look weak and people instinctively profit from it).

- In any case, they pushed feminism and helped my sisters more, and either you admit that feminism has an impact and gives women a better life than men, especially in terms of confidence in society, either you admit it doesn’t, in which case why doing it. But as it stands, given women’s experience and expectations, it is not possible anymore for me as a beginner to start a relationship. They do expect a set of societal conventions that I don’t know about (from not-breaking-up-by-sms to saying the right thing when it’s time to split or not split the bill, not even talking about in bed).

I’ll just take a dog, but I’m enraged that people talk so much about helping others and can let people down just next to them when they’re were 99% decent humans before. I mean I’ve donated dozens of thousands to charities in the past, and none of them is able to pay it back to lonely men. I was a decent being until I became insane under the lockdowns.
You haven't lost anything. It's about what others can gain. Meaning, those who don't (yet) know how to make their own boards or dont care how the interfaces work can still plug a couple of boards together and make a working system.

The reductio ad adsurbum on this would compare these boards to PCI cards for your PC - you wouldn't expect the majority of PC users to have to hand assemble their GPU would you?

Slide presentation software in general. It is perhaps OK to present simple subjects to a crowd with the aid of visuals such as slides, but the more complex the subject is the more the slides will impede understanding. Think of the slides used to present technical data about foam hitting the Space Shuttle to managers at NASA just after the launch of Columbia. They were garbage in several ways, but chiefly because they had only nested bulleted lists rather than just paragraphs and sentences.

https://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=...

It is possible to lie using ordinary sentences and paragraphs, but slides pile on even more ways to deceive. They encourage you to break up the flow of information into optimistic headlines and soundbites followed by fine print that is easily ignored.

Slide decks are humanity’s most dangerous invention. We should teach our enemies about slide decks. When we meet aggressive aliens, we can sell them Powerpoint to slow them down. Too bad our own military already uses it; I’ve read that all of our high–level military planning is done by Powerpoint presentations.
Interestingly, Netflix has grown soooo big so that they don't consider their rivals are Hulu or HBO, instead, they consider their rival are other entertainments such as video games.

A second thought this makes sense because ultimately the resource to contend here is users' time and attention.
HTTPS is complicated.

python -m http.server → you have a web server that you can use for ad-hoc needs.

Coding TLS into a web framework is hard. Ah, I should use a proxy? So installing a TLS on a proxy is hard. Ah, I should use caddy with LE? Sure (I use it for years), now how do I do that for 10.2.3.10?

I understand why HTTPS is useful (to encrypt your traffic, certainly not "to know you are on the right server"), but it is a failure form the start - usability-wise.

Funny how he started something, then change his mind about, then started advocating how everyone who still haven't changed their mind is wrong.
I think one of the main factors of it being polarizing is that big tech tried to kill misinformation on the internet.

10 years ago people would have laughed at the mere suggestion that everything on the net is true.

There will always be misinformation, but this dogma that this is somehow even an issue is completely festered by now but still ridiculous in my opinion.

Of course these rules against misinformation are not enforced equally, so people get angry at the unfairness and dig in. Not really surprising.

Solution: Sit back an relax and let there be misinformation. Even 5 year olds can handle this easily...
It's a very well crafted piece of cinema that intelligently deals with the idea of detectives chasing down a psychopath. The characters are well defined and well acted, and the plot isn't really 'guessable'. It's Brad Pitt's best movie.

As others have said though, it is definitely a bit gratuitously sickening in places but not in a way that's out of step with the plot of the film. It almost crosses into the horror genre in places (in a Hostel or Saw franchise sort of way). If you're squeamish it's probably best to stay away.

If Cornet has spent 14 years at Google, his basis for comparison might be mainly to time earlier at Google.

While perspectives on change over time can be very valuable, is it harder to assess where the grass is greener?

Industry outside Google isn't the same as when he left. And he's also been at one place long enough, that some goodness might be so familiar that he doesn't realize it.

If Netflix plans to compete with Stadia, they have plenty of reason to get into gaming.

Netflix is already on TVs around the country. It makes sense for them to use that huge user base for games.
Or something akin to YouTube. In fact now that I think about it it would be very easy for Netflix to provide an equivalent of YouTube for user generated content where the creators get paid from the subscription revenue based on how much their content is viewed. Since there will be no ads, it can certainly become very popular.

In the game space, I don't think they'll be creating proper console/PC games, rather interactive movies as they have a few already on their platform. Not sure how popular they are though since I've yet to try any of them.
Agreed.

From my perspective (some) cryptocurrency is an opt-out of inflationary monetary policy. While it goes against prevailing thought, I prefer money to hold value.

Encouraging spending to stimulate economic growth at all costs is wasteful and contributes to our current climate predicament.
All this worrying will help, for sure. Let me know when the next ice age doom and gloom hits the newsroom.

I'm always a bit baffled at people ascribing morals to these big companies.

I'd be willing to bet that many Twitter execs would kill to switch places with Google, ethical quandary and all. In that case, it's not that Twitter is more "ethical" than Google because of superior morals, it's because Twitter has not had the same opportunities to trade morals for profit.

I'm not saying this out of moral superiority (I worked for Google), I just think it's silly to expect companies to do the right thing without a strong incentive to.

Very neat. It should also include humidity. For me it recommends the tropics, but I believe it's quite humid there, so my max temperature would probably be lower. Maybe there is a data source for wet bulb temperatures that you could use?
I'm slowly moving in that direction. Recently started using (pg-typed)[1] in our projects and its amazing, as it gives you the types from the database into typescript, and not the "general types from tables", but the exact specific types for each individual query.

Coupled with the same thing going the other direction where we get types from our api contracts (OpenAPI/Swagger) with (laminar)[2] means that our app is very close to the "if it compiles it will run" territory.

ORMs do give you a lot of convenience though. Things like "run this additional query every time you request this entity" thing for example like for logical delete, which is unpleasant to replicate in your database. But Postgres is so freaking powerful its more of the fact that we don't know how to do it properly than it not offering a good solution.

These reality-denying identity politics followers are just as dangerous as the corporations pushing surveillance. The author lost me when they stared talking about trans people being more affected by surveillance than others.

It would be smart to let them battle it out first, if they oppose it too. Like the US waited for the Soviet Union to get seriously wounded before taking on the Nazis, because both were a threat.
The Stoicism topic is interesting to observe. A few years ago a few people were talking about it, possibly triggered by mentions in the book "Antifragile", then there was a wave of Stoicism on social media, in blogs, even in the App stores, and then it disappeared again, making me wonder what the next big self help thing will be. Or maybe it will stick around a bit longer? As this post appeared on the front page of HN today..
Can anyone find out how much grain the USA stockpiles?

Genes are certainly affecting the behavior somehow. That doesn't mean they are relevant. Cultural and educational factors have certainly a much bigger impact on behavior than any gene related effects.

Example of flawed reasoning similar to yours: genes have probably an impact on the way we speak (it's impacting the shape of our tongue somehow, etc etc). So maybe the French have their accent due to some genetic factors, and we could predict someone's accent looking at their genes. Well it turns out in practice, if you have "French genes" and are born and raised in a US environment, you'll have an American accent indistinguishable from someone with "US genes"

The same goes with criminal behavior.
It does not scale. At all. The only reason it works at all at the moment is strong centralisation.

Routing in the Lightning network is an open problem in computer science, one that nobody know how to solve. Payments aren't peer to peer, they have to be routed through intermediaries.
