We should rethink the value of women in the workforce, sometimes I get the feeling that a housewife contribute to the economy much more than most women in the workforce.

An average housewife who actually do the housework can do a lot of things in parallel, she can cook, clean, take care of children, help with school work, gardening, laundry and taking care of older family members. If you think about the amount of outsourcing one need to do in order to get all those jobs done it comes up to a cost which is much higher than the average woman contribution in the workforce.

Taking into account that women almost don't create new businesses and therefore hardly create any new jobs, that a good chunk of them work in tax payer financed governmental jobs which their sole purpose is to replace the housewife, all those types of caregiver jobs for example, and that even in the private sector a lot of them do secretarial jobs with fancy names (I am looking at you "HR officer for diversity and inclusion"), it is safe to say that we need to look again at the role of the housewife in our society.

Granted, it is an individual decision of each woman but I think society and culture should encourage women, especially with young children, to stay at home and be housewife. In parallel we should encourage different time line for men and women in terms of entering the job market and when to study. Women are best suitable to bring children to the world in certain ages, we should give them an opportunity to study during their child bearing days, namely their 20s and accept that they will enter the workforce in later ages when their kids are older and don't need so much care. A woman in their mid 30' still got about 30 years to work and can develop a serious career without the pressure of balancing home and work.
Isn't the bigger concern that kids can pass it on to adults who do get sicker?
That was supposedly supported in Windows 10 I believe. I think I got the command to work once but only once.

By retrieving three you can perform an if on one value; if that fails check the other two values. This allows you to save the other two calls for most logins.
Beautifully said! I liked your observation about future enthusiasts poring over code; it reminded me about Thom Holwerda's "WTF's/m" [0] metric for good code and bad code. I try to keep that in mind when writing code with documentation so that I don't end up outsmarting myself writing cryptic one-liners.

In many western countries we didn't actually shut the economy down - we left large portions of it still running and exposed all those people to covid without appropriate care (naturally many of them caught it), so at best we turned a large initial spike into a long, ongoing misery of deaths that continues until this day. Part of that is because politicians and business leaders were unwilling to stomach the difficulty of doing a proper shutdown. The outcome we got instead has all of the downsides you describe but I don't think it's correct to describe it as "shutting the economy down", at best it was a half-measure that perhaps was worse than either of the two real options.

If large countries like the US had done a proper shutdown, the Delta variant might not be spreading around right now claiming huge numbers of lives. For example, if you want to avoid having covid cripple your economy, one useful measure would be to ensure your front-line workers (food service, caregivers, etc) have protected leave so they can recuperate at home if they get covid or go get vaccinated, then return to work full-time. Instead the US tells everyone to suck it up and come to work while they're miserable and infectious. Is it any surprise our death count is enormous and the economy is in tatters?

Rental prices were already a nightmare before the pandemic, if anything rental prices tanked for a while in some areas during it. I don't think the eviction suspension is connected to that - it had bad impacts but I don't know that you can convincingly argue that one of those impacts was price.
Why would that be unfortunate, it sounds awesome! Gotta give it a try.
Is it feasible for organic farming techniques to feed 8 billion people? In conversations about the environment like this one, pesticides and fertilizer (runoff particularly) get raked over the coals for causing huge environmental disasters. But in other conversations more focused on social issues, Malthusians get mocked for not anticipating those very same technological developments that have allowed us to feed billions of people.
Ask HN: How much time do you lose evaluating tech stack options?
Whether it's choosing Objective-C versus Swift, postgres or mongo, the best SaaS for A/B testing, or choosing the best Javascript framework, I've spent a ridiculous amount of time having to learn about the best options for a job.

Have you had the same experience? How much time did you spend on this problem in the last week? What tools do you use to guide your decisions?
The PRC airforce has not violated Taiwan airspace even if they don't recognize it as such (they may have been shot down if they had crossed that line).

They fly within the ADIZ (Air Defence Identification Zone), which is an arbitrary zone in which the Taiwanese airforce asks aircrafts to identify themselves, but well into international airspace and in a non threatening way (I.e. they fly tangentially at the margin and not straight towards Taiwan).
There are a lot of species people call bumblebees. This one particular species, Bombus pensylvanicus, has disappeared from much of its range. You may be seeing insects that are called bumblebees, but not likely the species being talked about in the article. If you do have the knowledge and experience to be certain that you are seeing lots of Bombus pensylvanicus in particular, get in contact with your nearest Fish and Wildlife Service office. That's a big deal.
That's why you do not control networks with signals on the network itself.

Of course, many countries have had a similar network. I like the towers of the Netherlands, which have similar designs to each other, even though each is unique. A few have a radio mast on top. Click the links at the bottom of https://cellnextelecom.nl/over-cellnex/locaties/ to get an impression. Currently they are mostly used as data centres, but I think they still provide some microwave links as well.
Stalin is the guy who executed people who didn't abandon the idea of worldwide communism. He moderated the foreign policy of the USSR. He was also the guy who expended a lot of political capital and burned quite a few bridges to propose defensive alliances with Western countries, betraying those who wanted to plunge them into revolution.

He was pretty evil, but Stalin was much more moderate on exporting communism by military force than the norm - his invasions were mostly about maintaining the national security of the USSR.

The US by 1950 had hundreds of nuclear bombs. It would have been devastatig, the fallout would have been horrifying, and the famines that would follow would be the largest in the history of humanity.

>If the Nazis won WWII, don’t you think it would be worth at least considering using nuclear weapons in a war to destroy their regime before they developed a competitive nuclear arsenal of their own? Or would you have argued for coexistence with them? The Soviet Union in 1950 was very much the moral equivalent of that situation.

If it was the Nazis, I would, because there plan after winning WW2 involved killing 200+ million people. Say what you will about Stalin and he truly was evil, he had no plans of world conquest, much less of genociding hundreds of millions and literally enslaving a billion people.
A lot of websites are taking this as a positive measure towards reducing electronic waste.

While I believe that to be true, I wonder how long it'll take for this to make up for the possibly billions of computers that cannot update to Windows 11 for an insignificant reason.
I expect the person you're responding to was describing how the economy works, not moralizing how he wishes it worked - which is what you're doing.

You may be familiar with the metaphor of growing and dividing the pie. The hard thing is to make the pie large. It's much easier to divide the pie. If the pie is huge, even an 'unequal' distribution of pieces is an improvement over no pie.

When people obsess about dividing the pie equally, they always ignore how the pie is grown in the first place. This is what happened to us in the USSR - we were all equal but nobody had anything.
It's subjective of course but most would call that a very far cry from a huge loss which was the original point.

For some of us there's a lot more to life than whether or not the wealth we accumulate squares up with the amount of risk that we take on compared to others. Being able to contribute to something you believe in while being able to avoid Taleb's silent graveyard doing it is enough.
I know how it's transmitted, and that's totally fine.

The problem is on the other end: The guarantee ("formatted according to the user's locale") too often doesn't work, the displayed date and time format somehow may not match the locale as reported by the OS.

In the previous example, users in EU countries can get a MM/dd/YYYY input despite the locale being set right. The user can enter a date thinking it's DD/MM/YYYY (some users preferred fast input with the keyboard), so what they send to the server is really YYYY-DD-MM despite the "guarantee" because the browser somehow doesn't understand how the date should be formatted on the client.

Otherwise it was just extremely annoying to the users and to me, so it was the last straw for using <input> that way. I could hack it, but what's the point of maintaining a hack when there are many packages out there just implementing a picker?
Private companies sometimes give out RSUs. For instance, Uber did pre-IPO.
>The only reason people still use Windows is the exclusive software and games.

But that's quite a lot of stuff to be considered "the only reason".
Very interested in your year notation. This is the first I’ve seen of it before. Is this to inspire readers to take a more long-term view?
I thought it was a clickbait at first, but to be honest, the first paragraph sounds sadly true to me. I have been a CTO and co-founder and loved coding that way, because it was a highly creative job, in which my brain was used for many other things than coding.

But now, I'm looking for a new job, and what I feel with permanent positions as a full stack developer I'm applying for, is that business/management people are looking for nerdy people to EXECUTE their visions ("heyyyy we need a ninja hacker, you'll have free beers and pizzas !").

Sometimes I have the feeling that if I introduce myself as a developer, I look like 10 times worse than what I actually am.

PS: I'm not living in California, developers are not considered rockstars everywhere in the world, unfortunately.
Whenever you do these kinds of comparisons US/Canada, remember to add in all of the taxes and fees you have no control of. I have found that Federal taxes are similar between the two countries, Provincial tax > state tax, but social security/medicare > other fiddly taxes. And the private health payments here were less than those at US employers. People often, I think, forget that they pay like 3X for US social security while getting 3X the eventual benefits - that recovers some of the difference. And the deductions for Canadian taxes (aside from mortgage interest) are more helpful, particularly with health-related payments. I would think Alberta looks quite favourable vs. California while Quebec looks bad vs. Texas. But property tax is quite reasonable (4.xK for 550K).

YMMV, but the aggregate cost here vs. where I've lived in the US has been less different than expected. Sales taxes are somewhat higher and the currency is 80% but it's nice not paying drug costs or copays.
This body insecurity, besides creating other issues, contributes to the obesity epidemic. Girls and boys who are perfectly healthy weights see these super-thin celebrities and starvation diets, causing them to starve themselves and feel insecure, causing them to binge and develop screwed-up hunger signals.

It goes the other way too: since most people are fat losing weight is seen as a good thing, and people are constantly on a "diet" which they constantly complain about.

It's not just Instagram, it's not even just celebrities, it's a lot of society. A "healthy" human body is neither super skinny not super fat, and a "healthy" human body is actually usually attractive. But a lot of people don't realize.
What tests would they be? My point is that, at least in the system I experienced, a fraction of students were given IQ tests. They were then placed into special classes. Is jxidjhdhdhdhfhf wrong?
You're probably right, but I'm not from the US.
… hopefully you would be told yes. Paid time off is a basic right in most countries.
The vast majority of COVID-19 deaths were in the 65+ age group. They were mostly not employed and their deaths, while tragic, didn't significantly reduce the labor pool.

I would have a hard time telling an impressionable young person that it's their fault, though certainly buying any product through an advertisement encourages further advertisement.

In an ideal world we would all have the mental fortitude to dismiss such things but who hasn't had a moment where they felt inferior to others, especially at a young age?

No it is taking steps against independent media.
> Without a commitment to screening advertisements and paid partnerships (which are arguably more damaging) for selling ridiculous psuedo-science like 'detox tea' to young women and girls this rings empty.

Unfortunately. a huge swath of all products marketed to young girls—many from blue chip companies—is stuff like this.
These are trolley problems all the way down. For which, there is probably no solution, save for educating the public as to what a trolly problem is. But, no one does that. So, instead, we have 'moral clarity'. I don't see how a country can work in such conditions for very long...
I've noticed recently that in gaming Sigma is only referred to ironically and is usually postured to poke fun at "alpha" stereotype fulfilling people and internet bullies.
Thanks for the details! Sounds like you’re doing the kind of things I’d love to do for the rest of my career. Indeed I’ll have to start reaching out to people to figure out where I can do what interests me. I’ve been hanging around the r-bioinformatics Slack for a while now (not sure if you know it) and it’s impressive to see how much this field took off. I have limited experience with R (and Python), but it’s a great language to master. I haven’t played with Julia yet.
Which was my point. There is not always a mechanism to stop the runaway train.

Of course, it's worth noting that Trump's mob very nearly did overthrow a duly elected president on January 6th. The paradox of tolerance rears its ugly head once more.
damnit -- humanity continues to depress me.
I’m very annoyed that they mention safety so prominently. With miraculous vaccines available to all ages at significant risk, and data showing those vaccines continue to be effective at preventing bad outcomes from Delta, I just don’t think safety is an issue anymore except for exceptional cases like the immunocompromised.
100 years ago: "legal alcohol is hurting our children"

70 years ago: "atheists and communists are hurting our children"

35 years ago: "drugs are hurting our children"

25 years ago: "violent video games are hurting our children"

Now: "social media is hurting our children"

All were/are probably true to some extent in some cases, but that does not mean that it necessarily made/makes sense to try to turn society against the risky or dangerous thing. Skateboarding hurts some children. Does that mean that we should ban TV shows that celebrate skateboarding? "It is for the sake of the children" is a time-tested way to get people to support authoritarian policies.
I joined a private company a couple of months back. They gave me Options, but they made it clear they were "monopoly money" and gave me no ability to evaluate the value of the options - I accepted the offer EXCLUSIVELY based on the salary

Possibly, but Denmark/EU could also require proof of meeting certain labor standards in order for ships to dock. Many times, the political problem is getting global adherence. See pollution and emissions.

I wouldn't mind it, but I'd be curious what happens when reddit follows the inevitable course and obsoletes that interface along with i.reddit.com
> I would be willing to risk a couple of thousand of euros and bet on them being successful in the long run. A company like this has nearly infinite potential for growth.

Seems you are disregarding competition, regulations and lots of other unknown unknowns here. As for a hypothetical listing, the investors themselves are there to make back their investment. To do this, they sell 'some' of their shares for a profit.

If they were to list, I won't be surprised to see the stock being heavily manipulated by the institutional investors just to catch the retail traders out.
All of those things could be what makes China dangerous.
... and is the most beautiful Central Office (CO) building in the United States.
there is also the i.reddit.com prefix. Sometimes the old.reddit.com interface can make titles very large, and body text (and links) very tiny, on mobile. I can only assume this was intentional, as it happened when the new UI was introduced.
How Can AI Improve SEO
I’m amazed at the fact that nearly everyone around me really despises the Eurasian Magpie, the only bird so smart that it is able to recognise itself in the mirror. Yet the myth that they exclusively prey on young birds and rob their nests presses onwards and everyone dislikes them. If they’d dissappear from the land and you’d tell them, most people would be happy, of which quite some I consider thoughtful. Trying to say that even thoughtful people can be extremely shortsighted. Look around you, how many people still visit zoo’s with primates? Or marinas with cretaceans? All these extremely clever animals trapped in a desperately small enclosure yet so many still think it’s fine to visit them and enable this. All in all I think quite some people would, sadly, be happy with the news that a stinging bug is gone.
Givecrew: Microfunds to Support Non-Profits
It's sad that UN is so useless. This kind of rhetoric by a state leader should result in sanctions.
> And yet, without the agricultural revolution of the 1960s, we wouldn't have grocery stores today with well-stocked shelves.

It's not that we wouldn't have well-stocked shelves: it's that we wouldn't be alive. We can feed as many people as we do because of the incredible advances we've made in agricultural sciences. Without those, there just wouldn't be enough calories to go around. Does the sum of all the joys of billions of people mean nothing to everyone who denounces modern agriculture? All this invective against technology is sophomoric, short-sighted, and fundamentally unserious, and if we followed the recommendations of people to whom science is a bad thing, just "playing god", then a huge number of us would simply cease to exist.
For anyone on iOS, Apollo is really essential if you want to use Reddit. Especially now with safari extensions, you can just set Reddit links to automatically open in Apollo.

Though Teddit's intentions are great, I feel like using teddit, reddit, baconreader, etc is still giving Reddit my time, focus, and fellowship. As a site, I've noticed I don't feel good after browsing it the last few years, so aside from articles or something that a friend passes along, I don't find myself there as often.
It’s really amazing to view the comments section of Hacker News. Really finding a way to to find the problem about any situation.

And when it comes to the idea of working at a startup that might be able to actually fix some of those said problems, instead of just taking money from big tech and chilling.…the comments flood in with negativity here as well.

Gotta give the community credit, because the one thing they are is consistent.
The one extension I use the most is the remote access via ssh, and that's not available on vscodium last time I checked. Only reason I'm still on VSCode.

Is that known? I don’t think it’s been conclusively decided whether or not the virus spreads via aerosolized droplets or if it’s truly airborne.
This is quite wrong. The plans were to drop hundreds of nukes. Those were definitely in the right order of magnitude to potentially end humanity. Certainly enough to kill the vast majority of the USSR.

There is no strategic use of nuclear weapons against a nuclear armed country. The plan was a war of extermination. Strategically at the time the majority of the military was in the GDR, not even in the USSR.
I didn't say it's not allowed, I said I don't consider it relevant. Are you "calvinballing into existence" a rule that says I am not allowed to consider certain things irrelevant?

Book of Monads
With our existing laws there is likely an interpretation of wire fraud that could reach the desired results. Just need a Justice Department with that wants to prioritize that interpretation.

I pretty much like every outcome.

Outcome A) A couple indictments to some small/large advertisers freaks all the other advertisers out and they stop pursuing that kind of platform or offering that kind of service. This outcome exists whether the wire fraud or conspiracy to wire fraud charges are successfully challenged and restricted in appeals court or not.

Outcome B) Massive indictments to advertisers of all sizes as well as the ad platforms effectively stamp out this kind of business as a concept. The criminal nature of the indictment allows for seizure and leaking of all kinds of information supporting the need for greater disruption and reform.

Outcome C) The wire fraud and wire fraud conspiracy statutes are challenged and invalidated. Reducing the role of the government in every day life.

I like every outcome here.
This is MS, of course they'll do this kind of thing.
