As two-kid dad, I definitely agree that the time, energy, and cost of delivering and raising kids is HUGE. It's not something that you should undervalue at all.

But I think we have this unfortunate habit of severely underweighting the start process and things that aren't obvious.

You probably experience lots of stress over the span of raising a kid (or more). Other people see that in the classic screaming-kid seemingly-helpless-parent visual. You may also experience that same stress, perhaps cumulatively more, just from the start because it's (1) VERY stressful when it doesn't work, and (2) a situation that can drag on for what feels like forever.

So, everyone commiserates over work it is to raise a kid but few people talk openly or at all about how hard it is to start the process of having a kid.
A separate issue is that while I agree on the correlatii of talents and ability/circumstances to nuture it, extreme performance also requires practice - a finite resource.

> a great, healthy childhood will augment all these

I would put it that poor developmental conditions (from gestation on) prevent realization of genetic potential, rather than great ones "augment", because it just has to be adequate. A so-called "hygiene factor". Nutrition, stability - that sort of thing.

This happened to me, someone somehow got my account and then they asked for the payment id of the Paypal transaction from over a decade ago for me to recover it. I don't even know if I can find that.

I ended up just buying it again. Pretty obnoxious.
I believe moving to digital also allows stations to broadcast more channels. For instance, KUOW, the source of this bug, has KUOW-2 and KUOW-3 only accessible via HD Radio that broadcast things like the BBC news feed and classical music.

Of course, maybe you'd like to have that option without being exposed to logos.
>huge amount of effort over many years into online dating

My god I hope you aren't talking about tinder are you? You are totally clueless about women and dating if that is what you are talking about.

Go out to bars, talk to people, do activities and meet lots of people. stop doing 'online' dating (of any kind)

Seriously, myself and everyone I know found that upon reaching 33 the interest from women in their 20s sky rockets. You are definitely doing something wrong, not society.
I feel that this is a rather poor question, and comes off as a little immature and naive. If I had to give it a bash however, I'd reckon that a phone would be completely unecessary. Reducing your technological devices down to solely your computer limits your surface. Then I suppose a librebooted QubesOS (although this is hard to do admittedly), using as much open sourced hardware as possible. All internet would be routed through Tor, and I suppose an even better idea would just to boot the entire thing on Tails or even Kali when needed for convenience off a clean USB. Encrypted hard drive along with avoiding proprietary drivers too. For software, messaging would be done via Matrix or Signal, no software other than what's strictly necessary for the task either.

There's so, so much more that goes into staying anonymous as well as secure other than just your tech stack, as other commenters have pointed out.
> The data collection horse is out of the barn

That metaphor means that there is no stopping it, you can't get the horse back in the barn. How is data collection like that? Why can't we make a law stopping it? The EU limits data collection. Apple restricted it. Nobody told them we couldn't put the horse back in the barn.

A good thing about 'software eating the world' is that it's not like saying, 'train rail gauge should be 1 meter wider', which would take incredible capital and labor. The software can be quickly and easily changed.
> That 50% is the part paid by Section 8. The part not paid by Section 8 is expected to be about 30% of income

An excellent point to keep in mind that receiving assistance doesn’t mean you have no other source of income, so the situation likely would not be as dire as you suggest.

You seem to be hung up on the proposal from the CNBC link? Which is a strawman purposely designed by the right wing think tank AEI with the flaws you’ve keyed in on, so that it can be easily batted down like a strawman should.
Which online university? I think that's really weird that you've had that experience. Can you share specific examples of what problems having a "bad" degree has caused vs. having no degree at all?
It's fun to discover the bubbles that we live in.

I know "espadrille" because a man in an Agatha Christie novel was described as wearing them, so I looked it up (this was years ago). If the same book had named the kind of cloth used on a couch, tablecloth or curtain, I definitely would not have been interested enough to look it up -- for all I know there may have actually been such a description in the book!

I would have guessed that "damask" might have something to do with the damasquine steel used in weapons manufacturing.
I could see it go either way, but I think it's important to distinguish that apps/platforms that exploit short attention spans don't exclusively have effect on people with ADHD (nor do all ADHD-diagnosed people neccesarily use TikTok). There's a number of reasons why people might want to seek out short-form content; they're on the go, they can't focus at the precise moment they want to peruse social media, or they want to blow by a huge amount of diverse content in a short amount of time.

That being said, I despise TikTok personally and would even go as far as to say that these short-form content platforms are reinforcing lower attention spans, but does it cause ADHD? I think that's a stretch. What's more likely is that it turns susceptible individuals into "whales" who sink time into it like nobody else. Not just ADHD folks, but those who are lonely or lack socialization too.
Wsl 1/2 are quite painful, but the issue is also windows, you might get a wsl3 that is good and it would still be surrounded by windows, i would still tolerate windows but Microsoft isn't offering windows to you as a product that gets out of the way, doesn't touch defaults, doesn't show you ads on the desktop etc, it's using a software to push on you other stuff, so nein

So there are many companies and many projects and i don't work with any Microsoft technology, for me it makes sense to just dodge any company that doesn't allow me any kind of Linux on daily driver, it's just that for me it makes sense, it's not a huge effort, it's not a huge sacrifice, it would be a sacrifice accepting a job with windows/mac when there are many more on linux

> I used to like the idea of fusion energy, but practical application has always seemed to be 40 years in the future, and it's starting to sound more like 60 years now.

You have to understand that fusion has been funded at "fusion never" levels for 5 decades now.

The amount of money that we poured at the mining engineering that later became "fracking" was larger.

Had we funded fusion at the amount we have funded petroleum extraction, we'd have free energy by now. :(

All of this is political, this is about power and money.

Side loading doesn't magically give apps access to APIs that don't exist. The operating system controls privacy, not the app store.
But that's exactly the coercion, laid plain. It /doesn't matter/ that the prosecutors don't believe they'll get the full sentence. They want to paint as dire a picture as possible to get the defendant to take the plea.
I'm a Canadian American[1] living in Vancouver so I can tell you subjectively that it has seemed to be a lot more common to see anti-asian graffiti on buildings and the like - and also, objectively, anti-asian hate crimes are up in Vancouver by over 700%[2][3] - now Vancouver has a really complicated relationship with asian immigrants, it hosts a large number of RoC expats from the Chinese Revolution so there are frequently clashes between them and PRC expats (especially whenever something happens with Hong Kong) and it's also dealing with a housing crises that is made much worse by an influx of foreign capital (mainly from RoC/PRC) so I don't know if it's fair to blame COVID for all of that increase - but it's definitely dramatically out of line with previous years increases and, while Trump still is a factor up here, it's less focused specifically on the American political sphere and probably a fairer representation of "western" political sphere reactions in general.

Yeah, this is the kind of scenario I was thinking of: the PRC covers up all kinds of petty mistakes and refuses to acknowledge them even in the face of overwhelming evidence and the potential for exculpation from much more damaging theories.

But again, it’s speculation on my part.
In the save dialog,"Extended Ascii" should probably be called "Unicode" or "Utf-8" or something. Obviously, no standard named "ASCII" provides box drawing characters and arrows.

Put the solar panels over parking lots.

Production is very near the usage sites (for BEVs, very near). It keeps the cars cooler in summer. And you can't make the parking lots any uglier.

(I am aware there aren't enough parking lots, but this deals with a fraction of the needed space.)
Total hours worked by people who are being paid. If you’re working on a farm but you’re a farmer’s wife you’re not being paid. Female liberation resulted in a very large increase in the labor force, a much less drastic rise in hours worked than in paid labor hours.
Hey, at least you have a decent job and probably no need to worry about the future. You could have done much worse.

My buddy's a general contractor. He's helped me fix things around the house. If I called him because my front door won't close, and he arrives to find I've taken a chainsaw to it, he's going to chew me out. It's not fascism for him to tell me "don't carve up your house if you expect me to fix it".
I think a car is definitely one product that the typical consumer does at least some research on, given that it's such a large purchase. Consumer Reports certainly grades infotainment systems and maybe that's having some impact in manufacturers choosing better options. Although maybe that's less impactful from the sales boost that comes from dealers showing off "neat" features of the touchscreen.

I don't think that is true in Europe. They are probably a fair bit younger than middle class mothers which could be a barrier to being friends.

Freemind looks like tree rather than DAG.

Almost all mind-mapping software uses tree structures. Even org mode can't gracefully do DAG.

Still looking for that simple-to-use free text tool that has a graph structure. Task Warrior comes close, but it hard to use for deep graphs. It's a major UX challenge.

I personally use Flying Logic for this type of use case. Costs money though.
That I can get behind. These things are dangerous and don't belong on our roads.

> Nearly every government on the planet under every governing system has experienced some dishonesty and information suppression

Yes, but the Chinese government is especially known and openly, blatantly and ruthlessly supresses information.

If this situation happened in US, UK, Europe, Australia, Canada, and other less developed nations, it would have been far more transparent and impossible to cover up.
He ran on these core issues that the economy is failing the people (read: "A War on Normal People", it's just packed with data about what you're thinking about). This article focuses on one angle, but not doesn't encompass the entire view (which he already spent years campaigning on)

I believe he addresses the root causes more than Bernie. Free college + federal jobs, or rather should we live in a society in where corporations are so productive that people shouldn't just follow a college track + work themselves to death to stay afloat
IMO text still provides the best combination of flexibility, power, simplicity and accessibility.

A screen reader can’t describe a JPEG or animated GIF. You can’t diff images/animations as easily as text. You can’t automatically translate text in images. Images and their toolchains like imagemagick introduce attack vectors. They take up more disk space. You can’t change the font of text in images. Text in images is not greppable.

Do you need to change some text in that documentation image? Hope you have the vector-based original!

And FWIW, Xcode’s rendering of markdown files and markdown doc comments with media assets in playgrounds isn’t the best experience, IMO.
It took more than 300 years to build the cathedral [1] in my home town (albeit with a 60-year pause in the middle). So indeed it might take another 4 or 5 generations to master nuclear fusion, but I see no issue with that. We should not shy away from starting projects that we won't see any benefit in our lifetime.

But of course, it also means that we should not rely on nuclear fusion being available in the short term...

Oh my goodness, the cloth animation is amazing. Watching "We Don't Talk about Bruno" again and again, watching how the skirts move as they're grabbed, tugged, and swirled. Even Mirabel's sleeve as her father gently pushes her aside to look at the vision, is amazing. (Yeah, I'm a hetero male, but that isn't the main attraction. At least I don't think so.)

Ask HN: How to monetize side projects without marketing?
I love building things and have a good bit of money invested, such that if I could just earn 30-40k per year from my side projects I could live comfortably.

I hate marketing though. I'm sure this sounds familiar...

Is there any way to make money from a "side project" or open source development without needing to do marketing campaigns?

Not only am I terrible at it, even thinking about it corrupts my enjoyment of developing new stuff.
DB constraints can be a hindrance if the business rules are in flux, and you already have them in the app layer. That said I did build a relatively mature system using a lot of DB constraints, even using magic prefix in error messages and constraint names to bubble up into the UI.

Nowadays I stick to only FKs, unique, and size parameters.
I really dislike conjecture when it comes to Covid information.
You're supposed to actually read the message before answering it.
That's what 2FA means though: once you enable it you need both factors to authenticate, whether or not you had them when you first signed up. I agree that if they required you to switch to 2FA at some point, even though it wasn't required when you signed up, that's abusive. But not being able to log in without your phone or other something-you-have credential is the whole point of 2FA.
This is a beta with no subsidies yet and no promotions because they have too many people interested.

Welp, you've described "being alive," a condition for which some are still able to carve our an hour a few days per week to hit the gym.

In what way are they different? Hardware wise, the iPhone has a touchscreen and a cellular radio, some additional sensors and no keyboard.

I get it. There's a few things that just make trains the perfect storm of obsession. I think I can list a few.

1. The clockwork. The time tables and planning are like gears on a civilization scale machine. A gear so big that from the first person perspective you can't even see its a gear.

2. Infrastructure is politics by other means. Concrete and steel are the only things that outlive even the supreme court justices. What gets built dictates so much about where people will live and how they will live, and sometimes these decisions are the result of lengthy deliberations and sometimes they are the result of the selfish wants of an unaccountable planner.

3. The optimization problem of it all. It's so easy to obsess over the map, seeing all those cross town trips that would be so much easier if some existing line just went slightly further. Trying to understand why lines get built where they do.
this was the word that made me question the data as well. Had never heard of a thermistor until EE classes in university
The point is sideloading vs app store isn't a function of security like Apple constantly touts. The point is not that this method in particular answers all possible problems one could have with the lack of side-loading or that this is necessarily the actual method that should be the one implemented.
This one I actually used:

> China will be accounted one day for this.

In much the same way those dastardly oil companies will pay for covering up their knowledge of global warming in the 70's and not doing anything to stem the tide when it was trivial to do so. Punishments to large organizations don't happen when we have weak governments since the organizations just slowly dissolve the guilt as members retire out.
From other comments it sounds like a free developer account expires builds after a few days. Otherwise you have to pay $100/yr for the privilege. That's a lot of money to run an open source emulator.
Slither – Solidity Source Analyzer
Ask HN: Advice for working remotely in rural/poor area?
It's likely that my wife and I will be moving to a rural and poor area in the US while continuing to work at my high paying FAANG job. The objective is to be closer to family (but not so close that I'm sorry I moved home-ish) and to try to put ourselves in a different environment with more activities outdoors and less downtime spent in front of screens.

I'm concerned about the possibility that I'm going to become an unhappy hermit, since the area doesn't have much going on. Not many attractions, restaurants, etc. Very unlikely to find others with similar interests in computers and technology. Prevailing political views are also very different from ours. Also generally concerned about idea of living in a place where the median household income is literally 10% of what I make.

Some of the discussion in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29959746 touched on some of these issues and particularly the post from
sentientforest (not sure if there's a way on HN to @-them) that contains this bit was very insightful.

> Importing your tech worker salary to a region with few employers and less opportunity can make an impact. Tip your servers generously. Shop at local businesses. Hire local contractors and professionals. You might make a big difference. Keep in mind that your tech salary alone could easily be a few times the median household income of the region.

I'm hoping to get more of that kind of advice from people who have done this sort of thing.
Well, the real and underlying problem causing this is that they have the final say on what operating systems can run on iPhones. They don't do this for Macs.

Ultimately, though, someone needs to maintain a database of malware. When this malware is attacking the platform, it kinda makes sense for the platform maintainer to maintain the database. Microsoft maintains the Defender database, which does have false positives, and we thank them for it. If you want to override it, you can. Notarization works the same way on macOS.

That said, the neutrality of the database (malware only!), and the ability to override it are both key components.
>The male ones are tech/games/science

A lot of the left half was words I only vaguely knew, and that's because I've seen most of them used in games before. A good chunk just in Final Fantasy XIV alone, but the fabrics and clothing items tend to pop up a fair bit in the sort of item-intensive games that need to reach for words to make this particular shoe sound better.
Yes sure, but I feel like this stuff came later. Once we had the technology, knowledge about each other, institutions, rule of law, etc, then people could begin to trust each other and work together. This is what happened everywhere slowly.

But at the start where everything is unknown and everything is new, and we can't see beyond the next tree, when we don't know what is out there and what they want. In that world, it has always kill or be killed.
