The root solution is rather simple but also completeley unacceptable to the architects of the modern global trade deal structures, all of which are built around unrestricted cross-border capital flows. The ability to move large sums of money from one country to the other without the government taking a fair slice is a relatively new phenomenon.

Simply re-instate capital controls and the uber-wealthy would find the costs of offshoring their wealth would be greater than the costs of paying their fair share of taxes domestically, as would corpororations.

Of course, corrupt governments controlled by the uber-wealthy (Saudi Arabia, United States, Britain, Australia, etc.) would never willingly go along with this approach, as it would represent a great loss of power and control by the billionaire class.

> Climate change, the world ending, whatever the case may be. I find it utterly difficult to willingly bring another child into this world when it feels like no one actually gives a damn about the future.

I respect your right to make this decision for yourself, of course, but don't you think this is a little ironic?
Climate change itself is less of a threat to the future than the self-selection toward extinction of the culture of people who care about fixing climate change.

An arena is not a replacement for linked lists. In some cases you can use it as a replacement, but in many cases you can't. So can the idiomatic rust apologists please stop with this? I know you love it the language and wants more people to use it, but these sort of statements doesn't help your case.

"Performance is almost the same in real world cases"

"You don't really need that data structure anyway"

"You can learn how to optimize code later"

People come and want to use Rust for some fast code. They know what they want the code to do and want it to be as fast as the code they wrote before, and see how Rust would help them achieve that. The above statements are then wrong or patronizing or completely misses the point.
Counter anecdote: I noticed various (relatively) recent price increases for essential food items in all major German supermarkets for the cheapest options (store brand), some examples from the top of my head:
canned tuna (single can) 0.99 -> 1.29;
dry noodles (500g): 0.39 -> 0.49;
cake (1250g) 2.99 -> 3.29;
It pisses me off. Everything is supposedly getting more effective, automated and yet everything important is getting more and more expensive. What also is happening is shrinkflation and reduction in quality.

> If I remember right, didn't the Queen refuse to give her assent to table this bill to the Parliament?

The Queen, acting upon the advice of her government, refused to grant her consent for the Bill to be debated.

You see how this works? The Queen didn't just decide for herself.

Parliament is sovereign, it can vote to do away with any of these customs and traditions at any time it likes. But we like custom and tradition, it's part of our culture.

> it is only in the last 3 - 4 decades that they are being interpreted more "democratically" in modern parliamentary traditions

That is a ridiculously narrow view. There have been plenty of times we've had constitutional crises. We have an election to resolve them, such as the 1909 finance bill that resolved the issue of which chamber was supreme.
> What is the issue with regressing the human population to something more easily sustainable?

The only reason I’ve been given has been related to the economy. There’s a limit to economic growth (there’s always been a limit, but this “accelerates” it) with a declining number of workers and consumers.

One is much easier than the other. To be fair, OP didn’t use the “too busy dedicating my life to local government activism” excuse. IMO one way you vote for change is by controlling what you can directly control. If the difference between having kids or not means moving to a more affordable area, then those who really would rather have kids will move. This will have the largest impact to the one who moves out of the area, of course, but it also has an impact on both the old and new hometown. I’ve seen this first hand as many are migrating to my city in the wake of the pandemic. They’re finding a better lifestyle for themselves while house prices in my area have risen 25% and still rising.
Back in my day, before the Internet, when you might find things of interest in classified ads, you could send a money order. Who's gonna stop that? Now of course this is less secure than using credit card companies/payment processors but I bought so many cassettes and CDs in the 90's from various non-mainstream labels this way.
You presume too much. I'm not talking about people who can realistically expect or who aspire to six figures optimizing adtech.
I don't think bugs are introduced due to the language being very complex, but the problem/solution being complex. To prevent (some of) these, you may need a more complex solution, like what Rust provides.
Every generation went through some kinds of struggles which they had to fight through. Our generation's is this one and it is not an excuse to not push through it, despite the incredible costs of having children. We could've had a war, we have high costs instead.
Contrarian point: tax havens protect wealth from wasteful public sector interests.

Case in point: California, where income tax rates are over 50% for some income brackets, because the state sector has taken over the political system, via control over the dominant narrative/ideology.

To give just one example, emergency workers can retire at 55 with 90% of their pension, that averages $108,000 per year.

California now has $1 trillion in pension obligations for its unionized public sector workers.

The one thing that the leak revealed, that should not be tolerated, is wealth hiding by public officials. Public officials should be under intense scrutiny. In fact all the financial surveillance laws which are misleadingly labeled anti-money laundering laws, should be repealed, and in their, place we should have financial surveillance laws for public officials.
No one _knew_ what the outcome would be (how could they have done?). Hedge funds routinely risk capital to bet on outcomes of events like this based on their own research (it's what they do); some would have got it right, some not. There's no conspiracy here.
Parenting teaches that many things thought impossible are truly possible, and frequently not important as I thought.

It takes a village and there are support networks in surprising places.

Also, there’s time for planning. It’s not wise to have a baby and move across the world. But it is wise to look 5 years out and move to an area to develop friends.

Comically, big families provide cousins and family in more places to give more opportunities for relocating.
Unfortunately, increased population is a bit like a one-way door. A rapidly shrinking population would be disastrous to society. Think about it, for every childless person, the child of someone else will have to care for them in old age. Someone else's children will have to produce the goods and services that the childless old person needs to survive.

I'm all for a lower population, but I think it'd have to happen very slowly, unless we have reached a level of automation and robotization that can sustain a huge aging population.

Plus consider that climate change is but one issue the human species is responsible for.

I'm confused why you lumped in that last line about improving immigration policies being relevant here. The mass importing of cheap foreign labour is a major factor in why wages have stagnated as well simply due to more competition for jobs.
Dark matter’s shadowy effect on Earth
I suffer from chronic headaches and debilitating migraines. I was having several migraines a week - I was able to mostly stop those that started during the day using sumatriptan, but I frequently had migraines start during the night whole sleeping too, which mean that as soon as I woke up, I'd end up lying in the dark, unable to move and wishing I was dead. The pain really is that bad.

I started erenumab (a CGRP antagonist, brand name Aimovig) around 8 months ago, and it's been absolutely amazing! I've went from having several migraines a week to almost none, and never while sleeping.

It really is expensive though - here in the UK it costs the NHS £386 per injection pen! As a result, I had to fight with my neurologist for over a year to let me have it.

Doing subq injections yourself sounds daunting, but it's not so bad once you've done it a couple of times. Apart from...

...as an aside, the Aimovig branded injector pen is shit - it hurts like absolute hell, and somehow always seems to cut me, like it "slides" before the needle goes in. I've done subq injections with a regular needle before, as well as using another kind of pre-filled injector pen for a different medication, and they were so much better!
World of Warships is at most 50ies tech.

I think the most recent ship in game is Colbert, a French AA cruiser commissioned in 1959. And in game, she doesn't feature her missile conversion in the 70ies.

Plus most of the "high tier" designs are paper ships with a varying level of fantasy from the game devs.

Lastly the game is far from a simulation, it's extremely arcady.

Why all the complexity? Just qemu/kvm and xpra, waypipe, whatever would be way simpler and in turn have way smaller of an attack surface. Same if you don't need virtualisation, just use bubblewrap instead of docker etc. It will even give you more fine grained control and you can just use your distributions package manager to keep everything up to date.

I guess we could talk till the cows come home about interpretations of English language and things that get said in the heat of the moment.

Ultimately in this story I think the crux lies in the guy's failure to take the "work out the details with Eddy" hint. That was the real point of no return, everything else after that was just a case of when, not if, the things would fall apart.

Eddy (or the Eddy like character in other scenarios) is the guy who has more time for you than the CEO and is likely more willing to give you more rope to hang yourself in terms of exploring things like valuation boundaries.

By seeking to go above the Eddy in the room and negotiate "right there" with the CEO in the room you are only opening yourself up to being eaten for breakfast. The CEO has a million things on their mind and likely doesn't have the time or mental capacity for the details. By openly seeking to go above the Eddy in the room, you are openly both stepping on Eddy's toes and potentially sending a message to the CEO that you don't trust the Eddy. Thinking you can close an M&A deal then and there with the CEO just like you would sell a widget is a bit arrogant and naïve.
FWIW, I think it's also a mindset choice. Some of my coworkers over the years have been very consistent at believing that the world is on the brink of The End Times ... at all times. They're conditioned to it. What about living here during the Cuban Missile Crisis? Who would think to have children when nuclear devastation is imminent? (Which comes to mind because I saw a pamphlet on Reddit yesterday for a DIY nuclear bomb shelter from the '50s. Imagine that... thinking it's soooo likely that you'll die in a nuclear war that you're digging holes in your back yard...)

Compared to "social media, climate change, and access to drugs" omg... if you had a choice between active, prolonged fear of nuclear annihilation being likely and ... "mean people on social media", which'd you choose, really?

Anyway. When you find the right person, well, "Life, ah, finds a way." ;-)
>to 'invest' here, and let us have a cut

Who's "us"?
Inequality works pretty well, until it doesn’t.

The system is build to fail. Part of the reason we get along so famously here in Scandinavia, and why we share the burden of the less fortunate is because of how we build our cities and systems of society so that everyone met everyone. In an average school class in the 90’ies you’d find children from the top and the bottom of society, and that helps generate and build compassion, understanding and empathy in ways that I think are very underrated in today’s Danish society where we all send our children to private institutions and schools if we can afford it, and aren’t ideologically inclined not to do so.

This has created ghettos of wealthy and poor, where we don’t really mix anymore. The result has been fairly obvious over the past two decades, and as inequality steadily increases the classes grow further and further apart. This will of course only have one conclusion unless the legal system gets a grip and starts seizing and redistributing the wealth.

Maybe people are willing to live in their cars and work warehouse jobs in America, but here in the cradle of social democracy, people are sharpening their axes.
My point is: "If you only look at financial statements, you lose the big picture" and not "don't look at financial statements".

> The additional refcount takes space that could be used for the payload that now either needs to spill into the next cacheline or needs to be compressed further.

It could, but since the cachelines are adjacents the prefetcher will pull subsequent cache lines anyways, and since the objects typically used in doubly-linked lists are very large (much larger than 64-bit), then this doesn't matter on any practical application that I am aware of. Our results of 4% performance increase is for the worst-case that we found. Usually is 1% or less.

If you have a real-world benchmark that shows otherwise, can you please share it?

AFAIK there does not exist any hardware for which the performance model for:

- non-intrusive doubly-linked lists,

- typical object sizes used on these lists (>> 64-bit)

- typical operations done on these lists (splice, etc.)

would predict a performance difference, and in our case, having replaced unsafe lists with safe list in many large applications, we never were able to measure a difference in application performance, only in the synthetic worst-case micro-benchmarks.

So I am truly interested to learn about your use case.
I agree but I wonder who the "us" is in "let us have a cut". I think it may be quite a small us. Perhaps I should be glad I won't benefit.

I will never understand why people allow themselves to be humiliated, stressed and abused in the name of "being educated" by so called technological geniuses, who are narcissistically used to being worshiped by everyone around them just because they are (ephemerally) famous and have a ton of money. IMHO, neither iPhones in particular, nor smartphones in general have really altered the course of the world in any meaningful way. A couple of generations of youngsters will, indeed, spend half of their lives with their faces glued to mobile screens, but then some new technological trend will arrive replacing the old one or perhaps dumping technology altogether will become the new riot. Sooner or later no one will even remember who Steve Jobs was (while names like William Shakespeare or Ernest Hemingway will deservedly live forever, BTW).

Some other fun facts about JSON, its mainstream implementations and using it reliably:

1. json.dump(s) in Python by default emits non-standards-compliant JSON, ie. will happily serialize NaN/Inf/-Inf. You want to set allow_nan=False to be compliant. Otherwise this _will_ annoy someone who has to consume your shoddy pseudo-JSON from a standards-compliant library.

2. JSON allows for duplicate/repeated keys, and allows for the parser to basically do anything when that happens. Do you know how the parser implementation you use handles this? Are you sure there's no differences between that implementation and other implementations used in your system (eg. between execution and validation)? What about other undefined behaviour, like permitted number ranges?

3. Do you pass around user-provided JSON data accross your system? How many JSON nesting levels does your implementation allow? What happens if it's exceeded? What happens if different parts of your processing system have different limits? What about other unspecified limits like serialized size, string length?

My general opinion is that it's extremely hard to reliably use JSON as an interchange format reliably when multiple systems and/or parser implementations are involved. It's based on a set of underdefined specifications that leaves critical behaviour undefined, effectively making it impossible to have 100% interoperable implementations. It doesn't help that one of the mainstream implementations (in Python) is just non-compliant by default.

I highly encourage any greenfield project to look into well designed and better specified alternatives.
Globally in the world people are now better off than they ever were in human history. Telling example is extreme poverty rate that declined several times since 1990 [1]
