Because if Macron lacks wisdom for proper energy management of the people when people are in cold times and need reasonable electricity, and if he is unable to be disciplined on basic matters pertaining to defense spending and defense readiness, why on earth would anyone trust him to be wise oj compulsive state-sponsored kindgarten at 3 years old? Tearing a babe away from mother so soon to give them state-sponsored educational materials? Nah. He’s a control freak like any other bureaucrat. Otherwise it’d be straight cash to the household every month and more parental supervision. More parental choice, not less.

Direct cash infusions to households would not affect inflation. Giant bailouts for huge corporations and for huge corrupt political super pacs definitely does though. Read the book Utopia For Realists for the chapter on direct cash to households and the compiled evidence done over decades in the United States and even Canada.
You’re welcome. Lots of negative comments and downvoting on my comment, so I’m glad at least one person understood what I was trying to say.

We are just coming out of a pandemic that is not actually over and has wreaked havoc on our health and economy. It’s pretty indisputable that the world and future sucks in a lot of ways right now.

But if the world is going to end (I.e. climate change, WW3, population decline), would you rather go out with a whimper, or your head held high knowing you did your best to build that bright and positive future we all want?
Gold is also fungible, as is any physical or virtual currency, water, oil, any sneaker run, a collectible figure from a video game. Non-fungibility is not a requirement for value.

Before the internet was on 24/7 with broadband connections everywhere people didn't run their PC all the time. It's not like you had a local wifi network to serve data, etc. to your other devices. You turned the PC on, played a game, did some spreadsheets, dialed in to AOL, and then turned it off. Those PCs pulled 300+ watts of power at idle too and were huge power hogs. Running your windows 95 PC nonstop for days and months at a time was not common at all.
>Governments should help families by providing easier access to daycares and kindergartens. Helping young parents get some rest with their first child(ren) will encourage them having more children.

As a new parent of a 14 month year old boy - kindergartens have very low impact on our decision to have more children. We're lucky enough that we can afford to rent an apartment for my in-laws and that they are retired so they can take care of our son. Putting him in to kindergarten at this age would be traumatic to him and to us (parents) - he's only starting to figure things out and abandoning him to a stranger who have to split their time/attention between 10 other children at this stage seems cruel. Not to mention kindergartens are disease incubators and we would probably spend first few months getting him adjusted and treating him at home while he's sick (+ catching stuff from him).

The thing that would actually impact our decision to have more children (early-mid 30s) :

- fully paid maternity leave - right now it's 100% for first 6 months and after that it's capped at national average - which is >70% pay cut for both of us

- despite both of us earning significantly above average - there's 0 decent opportunities to buy a family home right now - everything that's worth something is long gone off the market, and if something comes up people with cash to buy upfront show up faster than you can dial the ad

The rest is outside of governments control, biggest thing being wife has to give up career for a non-trivial ammount of time (even if I took out some maternity leave realistically she has to take at least 6 months off).

I suspect that retirement age plays a non-trivial part in this as well - having retired parents to fall back on as support when having multiple children while having active careers is very valuable.
For me "easy mode" was watching people playing on Twitch. It got me a "good" understanding of the story and let me enjoy the world, without the stress of having to actually play the game. :)

> That's the European approach that children belong to whole community (...). I don't get why are you so hell bent on having exclusive authority over your child?

This really looks like trolling.
This sounds fast for California. It's taken me about two years to get a site development permit to edit my roofline a bit to make it better at shedding water. I don't have a building permit yet. I desperately want to move out of this state, but my wife (who isn't handling any part of the project or our costs of living) likes the weather and so we're stuck here.

I think we could fix the housing shortage turbo-quick if we passed a constitutional amendment that offered property rights to landowners. But owning land right now is almost meaningless. It's the right to ask for permission to do something on that land, and local governments exist seemingly for the sole purpose of preventing any change whatsoever.

It's probably one of only a handful of root causes of American ossification and cost disease.
Why do you need to disconnect your headphones from your laptop to connect them to your phone? When I switch from laptop to iPhone I just go to Bluetooth settings and select the headphones and they connect.

I did turn off the auto-switching for AirPods as that caused some unintended switching and offered too little benefit.
I think it’s more plausible than the number of people who’d have to be involved making custom jumpsuits and sneaking them onboard.
Man, I tried reading the bible, maybe some pages are to be skipped, I couldn't keep after 5 ... too many "don't have sex with your cousin's wife unless her father owned a goat" logic.
Then the important thing is that a process of weighing those rights/costs/benefits and so on exists. e.g., if they needed to tear down a couple of apartment buildings and disrupt hundreds of folks, I could see an argument against that. But for just one guy? Eh...

That article has a lot of disturbing things in it- 200 extra workers (that even the union guys said weren't needed), inflated costs, low competition driving up bids, gifts given to government officials from contractors, and so on.

This bit is the most concerning:

“Is it rigged? Yes,” said Charles G. Moerdler, who has served on the M.T.A. board since 2010. “I don’t think it’s corrupt. But I think people like doing business with people they know, and so a few companies get all the work, and they can charge whatever they want.”

If you gotta play semantics on whether you're in a rigged system or a corrupt one...
> How about we increase wages so people can afford to work less?

Ok. How?
How are we not a cancer on the planet, though?
We are literally responsible for the 6th largest mass extinction in history, based on greed for fossil fuels, animal products & rearing unnecessary children who serve the Need Machine (life/DNA) needlessly, and this is with all the knowledge and technology we have, in fact the more we had and the more we destroyed to get here.

We are like addicts to the drug of life, too scared of admiting we have to stop spawning other addicts as a mean to an unreachable end.
We do not accomplish anything by "creating a need and satisfying it". We do not accomplish anything by creating every problem and solving some of them (or even all of them).
> The most obvious one is as always the idea of stagnant water at the bottom that becomes corrupted, which from what I understand comes mostly from the asian religious ideas about impurity. I'm not sure if it's coming from Shinto or Buddhism, or something else, but there's always something about stagnant water/stagnation being "bad", and water at the bottom "washing away" impurities on the way and being the "worst". That's where the usual poison lake comes from. It's also a strong idea in Sekiro, with immortality coming from the heavens (with the divine dragon) and being corrupted on the way down (with the centipedes).

Hi, friendly neighbourhood hackernews buddhist here. That's not from us. Washing away your 'impurities' seems like a foolish idea, since there's no you to have them. Also, we don't really get along with anything like immortality or heavens either. Impermanence is kinda..... obvious?.

Either way, as a (very) casual gamer with kids and not enough time as it is, I'll probably skip these. :}

> my demographic is terrified of being a minority

I don't see why - in other countries throughout the world, minorities live in harmony with majorities, especially when they're ethnically very distinct, so that they are still visibly a different group even after culturally assimilating.

It is only the US where this is a source of conflict.
I've been on a number of teams like that, and miss them. There's a phrase 'the song of friends at work' that I can't find the source of, but it serves as a kind of navigation point for me as I try to steer my career and efforts.
One thing about the traditional sequence of physics topics, is that it progresses (more or less) in parallel with the traditional math sequence. So you can get yourself up to speed on both simultaneously.

Also, you don't need to get all the way to the whiz-bang stuff, for it to be both enjoyable and useful. Granted, my degree was 30+ years ago, but today I specialize in designing measurement equipment. If all you end up learning is calculus plus how some mundane things work like circuits and optics, it would hardly be a loss. I don't even claim to understand fundamental stuff like field theory.

There's also a problem with explaining physics: Most of us who claim to understand it (I have a physics degree) have never attempted to explain it or even think about it without math. There's the commonly shared anecdote about physicists trying to grasp the "non calculus based" college physics course, and finding it too complex and baffling to proceed.
What if you just say hmmm, are you sure? from time to time?
There were parts of my trip to Alaska where as far as I knew I was the only person in the forest wilderness from horizon to horizon. It was bizarre to experience absolutely no man-made noise. I found a section of Wyoming that was undisturbed land dating back in time. Not even Native Americans ever settled there. If things go to hell, I know a lot of places where I could go live a quiet life.

Edit: A picture of Alaskan Spring wilderness I took in 2005

They don't monitor your everyday traffic, so it is a huge number of additional data points for profiling. Everything in those documentaries were considered conspiracy… until they were proven correct.

To anyone that is reading, I also recommend the "Social Dilemma" on Netflix, although it comes in from a slightly different angle, encouraging addiction that feeds back into this one.
So I take it that you're happy that the natural numbers exist. Staring from there, this is where the ring axioms came from;

Different people sat down over the last millennium or so and realised that the natural numbers could only express quantity and not direction. They looked around them at the physical reality that they found themselves in, and noticed that sometimes it was useful to count in the opposite direction (ie. decreasing). Eventually they realised that they could do this by adding in some new numbers that were ordered below 0, and which functioned as additive inverses to the natural numbers.

This process was constrained by the properties of reality; so the properties of the negative numbers are not arbitrary, they are fixed by properties of the world that different people noticed.

Eventually (around the end of the 19th century maybe?) people tried to formalise the properties of these numbers in axiomatic schema. They noticed that certain of these axioms could also describe other extended algebraic objects which are a bit like the integers, and called these objects rings. So that's where the ring axioms came from; by observing reality and then generalising

What are your sources for this opinion? Ask yourself if socialism threatens the grip big money has on the world. Perhaps big money controls the media you've been listening to.
Fertility is declining globally, even in parts of the world that have some of the highest rates:

https://www.afd.fr/en/actualites/dramatic-drop-fertility-acr...

Probably Botswana will reach sub-replacement rates before the decade ends. But as these fertility rates plummet, the global population will keep growing and growing--until it starts to crater. Meanwhile you continue to hear almost exclusively about a population bomb, when it's looking like a bust is at least as likely.

This is why we need to start seriously pursuing human longevity, and reproductive longevity in particular, and female reproductive longevity especially. Ways of forestalling menopause, or getting the female body to produce new oocytes.

A dwindling a human population can't get by with just several decades of vitality (including reproductive vitality) following by that many (and possibly more) of decline and dependence.
> If I had none, I’d live in a bigger house

This alone says a lot.

If you were to step outside society and design something from the ground up, one of your easiest assumptions would be "larger families should have easier access to larger housing", wherein reality the exact opposite is true.

An aggressive federal housing construction plan targeting families would do an untold amount of good.
I would not trust those allegations. read by yourself what he found out and critized.
I am responsible for a household. Stop trying to invalidate an idea or a set of of propositions based on this variety of cheap ad-hominy bs. You’re trying to read between the lines of the post to see if you can neatly categorize a challenge as being part of some bucket you sneer at. That comes across as being dishonest or intellectually lazy.

Direct cash to households with kids during almost two years of pandemi has lifted many children out of poverty and given parents more freedom and flexibility. Plenty of evidence of this.

When you’re getting direct cash and wages are good and bureaucrats aren’t inflating their way to Power, you can even afford to work less so one of the parents is always around if they want. That’s how it should be and can be and will be.
Hi all, Many companies use the same subscription model and barely any has a trial with no credentials asked. This is a separate topic that's not related to what we do at Theneo.

Requiring our users to create accounts allows us to better serve our customers and to limit abusive actions should we need to. There are a whole set of security issues to consider. It's not even a "trial" if there's not even an account.
We simply chose to prioritize the customers' needs who care about the product enough that they would not mind signing up for a free trial.

As devs ourselves, we would be happy to give back to community. Maybe by open sourcing some parts in the future, when we have more free time.

Games have literacy in a way books have literacy.

I would not recommend a casual reader pick up "A Brief History of 7 Killings" but it is still a great book.

Fromsoft games have an author, Miyazaki, and that author has the right to decide how their work is presented and engaged with.

Honestly I agree that there should be an "accessibility mode" but I understand why it is not in there. Musicians don't include a "kids bop" copy of their albums

Different things are fun for different people. That sounds pretty tedious to me, a long slog of arbitrary "guess what the game designer is thinking of" puzzles. Especially when it's all built around killing, something that just doesn't interest me much. To each their own, I guess.
Windows doesn't have an SSH client installed by default. But I agree with your point - setting up SSH is way easier than X11 and X11 doesn't even work that well over the internet.

VNC would be a more reasonable answer but that is a pain to set up server-side on Linux and isn't very good. Really NX4 is the answer but it costs an absolute fortune.

To be honest, Drive does a good job at indexing also the content of the documents. My gripe with it is that when I search something I get all the results of things that people shared with me directly or indirectly though groups.

I'll be honest, I didn't see your HN username! :)

I don't really agree with [1]. "Use what we already have" is cutting corners, because it's skipping the important steps of considering the impact of those engineering decisions in a new product.

Re [2], glad to hear it's changed but the idea that it "has nothing to do with hardware" is a bit misleading because as you noted Apple controls everything. You can't pretend there's a console effect on one hand and then turn around and ignore the downsides to that. Fixed in software is a good answer but I'm struggling to see issues with modern hardware that aren't fixed in software.

You could look a little more closely at all the new technologies being started today, and realise that in the big picture, you are never late. You just need to find the right party.
It makes more sense if you understand that leaders that use racism for political gains generally don’t care about serving the public; they’re in it to advance their own ambitions or act as agents for moneyed interests. The policies they support are motivated by the desire to hold power at any cost.

This is why you see all the other vile laws against abortion and the “don’t say gay laws”… they don’t actually benefit the states at all but are a useful tool for the politicians that peddle them to stay in power.
> We have chosen to do nothing about declining birth rates among the native population and have instead chosen to supplement the population with immigration from developing nations, or whatever term you wish to use for those countries where birth rates are still high.

It's a temporary solution at best because birth rates are falling worldwide and doing so much faster than expected. [1]

> Even when an extended family exists (grandparents are still alive, everyone is still married and on friendly terms) it is common for people to move to where the work is.

Do you mean to imply that people are forced to move to where the work is or that they choose to move there? Because that makes a big difference.

Not forcing people to be parents when they don’t want to be seems like a good place to start. Giving kids (heck, adults, too!) the resources they need to avoid becoming parents (if they so chose) seems like another.

Ending tax exemptions for religious organizations (who historically oppose the above and encourage having more children so as to grow their follower count) could be another easy place to start.
The government still owns around 50% all land in the west, so it is harder to get that land to live on. The east coast is largely built up to the mississippi because historically people needed the rivers to move cargo. Over land was really expensive and dangerous. Here's a neat map of all the federally managed lands, it supports that the west is largely empty: https://gisgeography.com/federal-lands-united-states-map/
Are you sure these people are out there besides a tiny minority? Can you name a member of Congress or Senate that opposes all immigration to the US?

Opposing immigration hardly has any support in the US, what has support is opposing certain kinds of immigration. From their point of view some immigrants can be a net negative to the country, regardless of how many children they bring with them or have, and prefer immigration to be restricted for them.

So I don't think you need to be flabbergasted because a tiny minority opposes immigration. For any idea there's a tiny minority that will believe in it.
