What people prefer is what matters, now that people can enjoy sex without worrying about having kids. I would not have had kids with a household income less than $100k (or even $200k), but that is just my preference for the type of life I would have wanted for the kids. I grew up poor as the child of struggling immigrants, and I want my kids to be very far from that quality of life for the portion of their life I am responsible for.

I did not say their cost ($270k in 2022 inflation adjusted dollars per child in the US). I said their long term value (over their lifetime to society).

If you’re at a median income, you’re barely getting by with kids.

I agree that for high income people ($150k+ for the sake of argument) it’s not strictly speaking a good idea financially to drop out of the workforce to avoid child care expenses.

However, given the way taxes on two earner families work it is a much cheaper decision then it looks like at first blush.

Maybe this is a good thing. But it is a bit counterintuitive if you think of salary in pretax dollars.
It should be obvious there can't be a common cause

Consumer Reports disagrees. Not all dishwasher pods rank better, but pods consistently make up the vast majority of their top picks, or they have at all of the times I’ve been subscribed.

That’s not what the data shows. Let’s call “easily outpacing” as earning at least 110% between medians. The metros where this happens are: Wenatchee, WA, Morgantown, WV, Barnstable Town, MA, and Gainesville, FL. In every single other one, it’s either pretty close or below 100%.

Which is pretty heavily at odds with the “easily outpacing” statement.

It’s not about expectations. Many women also want to have children(and raise them) and a side effect of that is being out of the workforce for some time.

Most people hate their jobs[1] and not everyone wants to work a 9-5. Raising a child can actually be more fulfilling than working for a tax filing company for example.

Perhaps you should give your recording another watch. It clearly shows the "There's no need to download a new web browser" message box above bing's results.

I originally thought the word "download" in "firefox download" could be the contextual trigger for that behavior, regardless of browser. But your recording clearly shows that you searched only for "firefox", with no other context, and still had bing giving you the message, which confirms that they're singling out Firefox as a threat. Given the passive suggestion in their message that Firefox is slow, insecure, or costly in time or money, I'd say the outrage is justified.
You are assuming that the amount of jobs are zero sum and I don't think we can answer that question. There are situations where there doesn't have to be displacement such as producing goods faster that require more and more people have to sell the item productive.

But, if we would assume that people keep on getting more and more productive due to corporations optimizing for productivity wouldn't we see a drop off of both women and men at the same time? I don't think we would legitimately seem the existing of displacement but actually mutual decreasing.
It's not an absurdity. I tend to agree with everything you wrote, but emancipating children from adult domination touches on so many social conventions and raises so many questions: would an emancipated child be able to choose with which family they prefer to live, could a free child decide to skip school and work, have their own bank account etc, and starting from what age, 16, 10, or 3? Could a free child have consensual sex with another child or with an adult, and starting from what age?

These are all very hard questions to answer...
To be honest, I'm just baffled that this guy apparently saw "6 gigabytes of storage, free, forever" and his immediate reaction wasn't "Wow, that has to be a lot of data, I wonder how long they'll be offering this for" rather than "A cool deal! I can trust this to exist forever!".

Free tiers do not make any money. So they have, what, 6 GiB of quota (however you want to imagine "quota" implemented) for thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, for 18 years. That adds up! It's getting more and more expensive to run datacenters (I can only assume they are using their own datacenters, and not renting space, as they've been live for about 18 years) via fuel costs, etc.

This is the inevitable culmination of literally everyone in techbro culture telling non-techincally-minded people "If you would like a blog, you should use Wordpress. They have a high usage limit and are free".

It turns out when everyone is using the free tier, the company has to tighten it's belt a bit? Who would have thought, under capitalism, that a company could lose money. Unimaginable. Woah.
Which evidence?

In Quebec/Canada, when state-spondored affordable daycare was introduced, it made a notable difference both for the number of women in the workforce, and also an increase in childbirth.

You seem extremely jaded, and the way you speak about religion is rather boorish in my opinion.

I enjoy living in and participating in a society. Thanks to the productivity gains of specialization and free trade, technology has been developed to the point that I spend my days designing embedded software to fly autonomous aircraft. Those aircraft deliver medical supplies, primarily in developing countries with poor road infrastructure. At least a few people a week don't die specifically because a UAV I helped make was able to deliver them a blood transfusion. The company is for-profit, and in exchange for my work I am compensated in salary and in equity. The better the company does, the more people have access to life saving medical care, and the more money I personally make. The UAV system also requires people to operate them, and so the company employs hundreds of people in those developing countries. One of the earliest and most tenacious in-country employees quit a couple years ago because they got accepted to a robotics program at Stanford.

The last employee I personally managed the hiring of only had a couple years of community college experience and self-proclaimed ADHD. Despite my intent for them to only spend 6 hours or so on the interview process, they spent probably 16 hours because they found the interview process itself personally rewarding.

The company CEO drives a crappier car than everyone else at the office. By coincidence, I had a serious problem last week that required intervention, and I quite literally made the CEO dance like a jester for me in order to make a point. There was no scientific theory involved.

I'm right there with you regarding the corruption of most financial and government institutions. I don't think it's as black and white as "capitalism bad", though.
I suspect there will be an emotional reaction to a message posted naked like this, but assuming you're not trolling or trying to farm for downvotes: You're not entirely wrong.

There is absolutely a correlation between education being focused on female success (a combination of predominantly female teaching staff and optimising for traits generally held by women such as agreeableness) and the trends we've been seeing for 30 years now.

Unfortunately this is not the popular narrative, but it does need to be discussed.

EDIT: I, unlike the parent, am not trolling, so if you're going to downvote I would prefer a rebuttal.

Citation 1 (agreeableness as a direct consequence of academic success): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S104160802...

Citation 2 (women on average are more agreeable than men): https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2011.00178

Citation 3 (Gender distribution of academic success over the last few decades): https://w3.unece.org/PXWeb2015/pxweb/en/STAT/STAT__30-GE__04...

Citation 4 (Gender distribution of teachers in the USA): https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator/clr

Citation 5 (Gender of teacher affecting academic performance of same gender): https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/696203

So we have direct correlation with a personality trait, it being attributed to a sex and a seeming consequence.

I could be wrong, but while correlation does not equal causation: this does seem to be a very strong correlation.
Perhaps the level of love and care for a baby/child are positively correlated to the severity of challenges parents face during pregnancy and eventual pain a mother endures in the natural childbirth. Hazing rituals exist for a reason. Will the nature of parental bonds change when Amazon delivers your baby via an electric stork/drone ? Will abuse and neglect increase the way it does with step-children, for example. It's admittedly a dark thought but worth contemplating since that technology seems inevitable and is already possible through surrogates as noted by another comment.

The differences aren't minor at all to me! They are everything - almost everything that makes Nirvana special, distinct, is at its peak, beyond any other musicians (that I've heard), beyond human capacity it seems, in the live performance and is only an idea in the studio music - which aren't worth listening to, IMHO, and I almost never have since I discovered Nirvana. All the signals were there of a great live band - the cultish following, the reputation, the emotional energy in the music.

I originally wrote something in the rude, direct, challenging nature of that subculture, but in this one I'll just say: Let it in, past your defenses, and it will activate nerves and neurons and biochemicals you forgot were in living.

Honestly, not everyone has the ability to do that.
The main problem is each subsection of a chapter in NR is really a subfield in and of itself, and to adequately describe a decent modern implementation is at least one if not multiple books.

First make sure you're familiar with background issues in numerical analysis/computation such that you're generally familiar with IEEE floating point and its foibles, numerical stability, basic error analysis etc.

Figure out which algorithm you're interested, find a couple of open source implementations (academics generally generate a vast array of these, though many may become abandonware), look at any papers they are associated with/mention and read those. Now you're ready to start writing.

Once you have a basic implementation, most fields have a set of standard problems they benchmark on. Find those and see how you compare on numerical accuracy and performance against the libraries you looked at before.
I think there should be a difference between a postmortem process and a performance management process and just because the first is blameless doesn’t mean that the second can’t look back to find problems or negligence.

That said, even when there is obvious negligence, having the postmortem process look at the issue with blamelessness is important to build up tooling/changes that could prevent it from happening again. For example, maybe you could revoke individuals having direct access to the production database without multi-party authentication.

Russian propaganda right now (also notice how Kyiv is on lower case intentionally):

Why the “Buchan Massacre” is fake

Ukraine is spreading a new “crime against humanity”. Entering the cities of the kyiv region, which the Russian troops abandoned as part of the regroupment, the nationalists of the terbats suddenly found the streets littered with the corpses of civilians. Traces of torture, tied hands, scarlet blood: images of the city of Bucha shake the soul.

Ukrainian propaganda paints a terrible picture of the “Russian occupation”, under which real sadists intimidated the locals. Here it is, Ukrainian Srebrenica. By analogy with the “massacre” of Bosnian Muslims in Yugoslavia, of which the Serbs were accused. Although his version, which was significantly inferior in scale to the official one, no one took it into account.

I will now explain why Srebrenica in Bucha is a lie.

Could also be cold jam. When the lid is open, the air inside the jar would be room temperature. As soon as you put the lid on it, the air starts cooling down because the jam is cold, which would lower the pressure, and then the outside air would push the lid down, turning it.

Or it's just gravity.
I'm not sure exactly how this particular number is calculated but given the fairly consistent trend I'd suggest longer education before employment, earlier retirement and retired people not dying as early seem likely.

Some other people think it's women entering the workforce, but that not a 1 for 1 affect here and it seems women have possibly hit a similar downward point.:

It is partially but not exclusively paid for by property taxes. It's actually a fairly small share of funding in some cases. The BATIC institute gives the numbers 5% and 1% for highways and transit funding respectively [1]. Moreover, funding is not evenly distributed here. Suburbs tend to have massive road networks and long commutes, but comparatively low property taxes. This creates a shortfall that generally gets made by with sales taxes and general funds.

More women getting more university degrees is why this is so.

This is one reason why it is a bad idea to locate a business that depends on intellectual capital in a state that denies women bodily autonomy, and that is generally hostile to anything other than "traditional" gender roles. Doing so further disadvantages recruitment.

I feel like 7+ interviews is selecting for desperation more than any specific skill or fit. That's still likely to yield decent short/mid-term hires, and if the promotion structure keeps those hires around might be a successful strategy (we will leave the candidate's experience out of value judgement entirely) but it will eliminate an entire class of hires who aren't willing to submit to that amount of free time, energy and expertise for the possibility of future opportunities.
Yeah, at least in tech the cost angle seems essentially irrelevant. Kids aren’t cheap, but the necessary expenses (food, care, clothes) are small relative to an income of six figures.

I wonder if young adults making 120k are hearing “kids are crazy expensive” from families living on 60k, and developing a somewhat warped perception.

You act as if CS and engineering is a great profession.

On the medical side, some numbers and research are in order.

Nursing is dominated by women; 90% women, though the trend is slowly decreasing. Nursing is a physically demanding job.

Pharmacy school grads are over 60% women and the trend is increasing.

I had a harder time finding dentistry numbers but 60% of all practitioners under 44 are women. The trend is increasing.

Medical school is 51% women and the trend is increasing.

These are highly paid professions with far more stability and prestige than software engineering. Even nursing is on par with the average software engineer, but with more stability.

With actual compensation for time worked, you’ll have to exceed L5 to get a meaningful jump ahead of registered nurses.
One thing I’ve found puzzling is the framing of societal expectations on caregiving (as that Vox article and other sources often frame it). No one from society nor either of our companies sat down with my spouse and I when we decided how to accommodate infancy and early childhood parenting.

> one gender (or race, or whatever else) is widely discouraged from entering certain lucrative occupations or receiving certain levels of education in certain fields, for instance.
