That's a very London-centric view. An e-bike wouldn't be particularly useful in Devon.
This isn't surprising that the service continues to go downhill. The writing was on the wall when they got bought in 2019 and most of the original team left.
>Is there some ideals at work here, or is it a case of people not fully grasping the future consequences of their current actions?

This is a false framing. There are real future consequences to having a community of vacationers - seasonal only restaurants, emptier schools and playgrounds, lack of trust, businesses that can't sustain themselves because the population only occasionally drops by, split voting with opposite interests re: long-term investment.

There was a lot of shame attached to sexuality and casual sex in the US in the 1950s and people dated (courted) more and got married more and had more kids. Those attitudes are still the same in most of Asia and Africa, and people have relationships. The irony of developed countries is that as acceptance of sexuality increases, relationships and indeed even sexual activity is decreasing.

What appears to be breaking down in the developed world that pushed young people to form couples. Historically, many people have relied on parents, churches, etc., to introduce them. Today it’s more of a free market.

It’s worked quite successfully, in this country (assuming USA), in the past. It currently works reasonably well in Japan, where executive pay is capped as a multiple of the lowest paid worker at the company. In the US, executive pay has never been higher relative to average worker pay.

The gap in wealth is real, it’s increasing, and it absolutely does not (in fact, it cannot) need to be this way.
> Remember that each dollar a customer spends only requires < $1 to employ. So as employee costs go up there is a cushion before an employer must raise prices.

This logic is broken. Of course there's a margin in there, but to keep the business profitable, this margin must stay. So there's not necessarily a cushion to fall back on.
This sounds like citrix

Why should people think your service is any different from those in the past?
Japan does not shame sex -they have compensated "dating", soaplands, love hotels, etc..., And maybe that is part of the problem. Maybe it's not.

It's possible that if they made sex more taboo then, at least teenagers would seek it out more as a way to break the rules. On the other hand they as a culture tend to follow rules more than in the "west". So maybe it would be a wash.

Some cultures practice "Bundling" to get older kids to experiment.
> Cheating in single player games is super lame. It’s fun to be a god for a brief period but quickly it just makes the game really boring.

Probably depends on the person and the game. If they're enjoying the game as an interactive storytelling medium, playing through it on god-mode is probably not significantly worse than struggling to win; it's no worse than a movie.

The thought of finding the one I want while still lacking the skills to make it work (& losing them) drove me to find many dates simply for the learning experience- which lowered the stakes of a date & helped me relax.
Having seen the documentaries and articles on predominantly young people living in internet cafes or as total shut-ins with family, I would say there's more still societal factors to this than even the article mentions.
For people who only own the house they live in - they are not likely to sell it, so its value going down is of less concern. Yes, perhaps they can borrow a bit less against it but again, not such a major concern.

They are presumably thinking of their children (who these days can only buy a house with the help of the Bank of Mum and Dad), and the wider community. And themselves too, should they need to upsize. It's not as simple as value up = good, value down = bad.
Assuming 7 pounds / gallon and 30mpg, a gas car would cost 23p per mile. Assuming 28.2p/kwh and 300wh/mi that comes out to about 8.5p/mi (figures pulled from Google for London, no idea if they're accurate, I'm in the US). In my experience that 300wh/mi is generous (my 2022 model y is usually closer to 350wh/mi in the summer driving downhill with the wind at my back and up to 450wh/mi in the winter). In any case, it doesn't seem to be anywhere near 1:10.

At one place I've worked at the company policy was to hand you laptop and badge in at 3pm in the afternoon. I had a scheduled meeting/shadowing a installation after handover scheduled at 2pm (due to timezone differences), but it had to pushed back till 5pm, so I kept my badge and laptop over the weekend and I've returned it on Monday morning.

So not only I hanged around, I also made sure that my replacements had all the information they need and I saw that they can fulfill my duties :)

Granted, it was me who gave in his resignation, but it was nice to see that the trust didn't erode during this leaving process.
Where are these places that give you massively discounted electricity at night?! Done away with around here many years ago… I wouldn’t rely on them always being there - obviously especially if everyone starts charging cars at night as it will cease being off peak and the reason for the lower price will be eroded.
A financial instrument does not require as many physical raw materials to produce as fuels, food, computers, or homes. Indeed, they often don't require anything but bits.

It seems obvious that the $4T deployed into the imaginary playground of the asset markets wouldn't cause near as much inflation as $0.4T+ in the hands of peasants with their needs for tangible goods. If traders attempted to move $4T en masse into purchases at retail, the system would have crashed immediately.
FWIW I was very bad at getting dates when I was your age. It's really a skill you develop, the more you do it the better you will get. From age 20-25 I think I went on maybe 7 dates. So far this year I've gone on >20

Your point about incentivizing is very interesting. We mainly interviewed teams that were in our batch AKA early stage startups/small teams that didn't have much of a divide between management and developers - definitely a mistake on our part and we should definitely go back to interviewing larger teams. We knew that documentation is hard to maintain as changes are made and that a feature can be shipped without documentation having to be written/updated. We also agree that whatever our solution is - we need to be opinionated in terms of the "cultural, management, implementation, and usage standards and habits". I totally see where you're coming from about this being level 0 - at the very least we create visibility that something may or may not be updated. I guess the assumption we made was that a CI check would be enough (because the mentality is that you can't merge until you resolve everything) but there's definitely more incentives we can create.

Analytics about documentation is something we've talked about, but it's definitely something we should talk about more seriously.

> What is "bad" documentation and what is "good" documentation?

There are definitely varying levels of granularity I can go into answering this question. As a baseline I can definitely say that bad documentation is documentation that is out-of-date - a series of instructions that are not the correct steps to get to the end goal that it claims will get for you. And good documentation is one in which it does allow you to get to your end goal. However, there are definitely layers to it - because I know for myself I'm very opinionated on how verbose, clear, or straight-to-the-point documentation is. Outside of just the content, there's also a lot that surrounds the structure of documentation.

It's so clear that a problem exists here. We just have to figure out what the best solution looks like.
Honestly there's not much to worry about a "skill-gap" either. It's cliche but being the true and authentic version of yourself (and being self-aware if you need to make improvements on that version of yourself - your authentic self can't be a jerk) is the best way to make both friends and romantic partners. Maybe it's different for hookups, but IMHO romantic relationships don't work like they do in the movies.

You're right, linear may be a better use of resources, since you don't need thousands of towers, each with their own crane/generator system.

I don't know. But this is a battle against cost, in an industry where the required 10x or 100x is impossible.
Joining a startup isn't a good way to share in a companies upside unless you're one of the first few employees. You only share in the upside of wildly successful companies, and even then it's many years delayed from that success and has the potential to be whittled away by preferred rounds ahead of you, executive carve outs, etc.
For real, I don't think OP understands the term. Classically liberal is right wing, not left.
At least part of this doesn't make sense. Why would giving people more money cause food price inflation? Were they not eating before? Did the demand for food skyrocket because people had money? Unless you're suggesting that food prices rose because food producers saw they were leaving money on the table, but this seems like a problem that could be solved with antitrust since collusion would be required to "artificially" raise prices in concert.
What if the people at CERN made a tool so they can communicate amongst themselves more easily, as well as everyone else in the world too.
The cost you quoted can’t be right. I would like to see a quote for that. More importantly electric cars still cost a lot more to acquire and the vast majority of sales are ICE cars.

Ending subsidies seems counterproductive.

> So are artists all idiots?

No, and GP didn't remotely imply anything like that. In fact, your examples are exactly backwards. Let's take the quote you're likely referring to.

> An idiot with a plan can beat a genius without a plan. - Warren Buffett

When an artist sketches, they're creating a rough specification for what they're ultimately going to do. That's the point of a sketch. It might not be _exactly_ what gets made in the end, but it should largely indicative of the end product.

The sketch is your initial specification. Filling in details in the sketch is your MVP. The artwork is the finished product.

People create sketches because they realise they're not geniuses who can just slap paint on a canvas an expect it to work.

> Why does writing English have to be the only way to explore a problem? Why is it so difficult to imagine that writing exploratory code is similar to writing a rough draft of a paper?

No, but only if _you_ are the only audience for it. If others, especially others outside of your team are the audience, then you need documentation.

> But I've been paralyzed by design too many times in the past. I would much rather write a rough draft of my code that works, learn a bunch in the process. Then edit it and refine it.

You should do both. Write some docs, hit a brick wall, write an MVP to test things out and clarify your thinking, then go back and update the docs with your findings. You know, _iterate_. The problem isn't documentation, but that you fell into the trap of Big Design Up-Front.

> Finally, do research papers get written before they go through the process? No. They do the research, they experiment, then they document the results. I guess these darn researchers are all idiots that didn't realize writing an essay will tell them way more about their research than actual experimentation.

Well, no, that's not how it happens. Researchers don't just write up everything at the end after they've done everything: they need to actually _plan_ the kinds of experiments they do, _plan_ their methodology, _document_ all that. Does this all end up in the paper at the end? No, but it does end up in their lab books, which they're required to keep. Material from those lab books ends up in and edited form of the final paper.

The mistake you're falling into is that you're assuming that this means that _everything_ has to be defined up front. But nobody's actually saying that. Sure, you might have a situation like the one you mentioned previously where somebody will ask you what the minimal latency for X will be, and it's OK to say "I don't know, I'll need a spike to write some kind of MVP to discover that" in response.

That doesn't mean that documenting your intents isn't a good thing.

Interesting that 27.3% of women have a lover, but 19.1% of men do. Does that mean more lesbian activity or perhaps successful men taking more than one female? Any thoughts on this discrepancy?
Statistically, this is not surprising.

In the West, especially a place like NYC, it is common to go on dozens of date with different people, to find the perfect partner. But first, just casual meeting and friends, getting to know each other. That culture is not common in Japan. Of course some HN poster will provide counter anecdata, but their datapoint is already selecting for a different demographic than the greater Japanese population.

Japanese people keep their social circles very small. Platonic relationships between genders are also less frequent. People generally hangout with people their own gender. Asking someone on a “date” borders on asking them to be your boyfriend/girlfriend. To get to this stage, you’ve probably have spent considerable amount of time and context knowing each other. You ask, how do you get to know someone if you don’t already know them? Therein lies both the paradox and the answer.

Add in the fact that being single is not conditionally independent on the past, the headline “40% of SINGLE men never have been on a date” seems less surprising when you interpret it as “40% of single men have never had a girlfriend”.

Finally, one of the biggest domestic industries in Japan is mizu shobai. There are dozens “conversation bars” at practically every semi dense place in Japan to fill the loneliness gap. If you want a rendition of this, watch Season 1 of “Light the Night” on Netflix about this culture but based in Taipei’s entertainment district catering to Japanese businessman. Their Japanese is terrible, but they capture the aesthetic and lifestyle decently well. This is as close of a glimpse you’ll get to the real Japan because it’s not something people talk about during daytime, and sure as hell not explaining to Westerners ( the vast majority of these places do not welcome foreigners).
How is going out to dinner with your steady partner not the most unambiguous example of a date?
Equally disturbing is the fact that many married men are being encouraged to participate in a permanent state of ersatz courtship known as 'date nights'. What's the point of getting married if you still have to go on dates?

Just because it's a poor region doesn't mean you yourself are poor...
I thought that was pretty funny, but after laughing it made me think… is it?

Breathing in and out actually sounds like the respiration equivalent of exactly a steady state economy. Like, I don’t continue to grow in size with each year, thus requiring more breath than the previous year. I grew a lot as a kid/teenager, then a tiny bit as an adult, and now I am more or less the same size (and relatively same breath size) as I will ever be.
There's been a decline in youth sexuality in the USA at the same time as our sexual liberalization, especially in the last 10-15 years.

I wonder if taboos are actually part of the courtship process with humans. Part of the allure might be doing something forbidden. Humans are weird.
I think you can sum it up this way: be planning heavy where it makes sense, and agile where it makes sense. There is not true one way. I'd not want to use agile to develop the formula language in a spreadsheet, and I'd not want to waterfall a marketing website for a product that is speculative. Common sense applies.
That "actually" meme was pretty funny though.
1. The government offers out contracts to build houses

2. People/Companies refuse contracts based on their principals

3. Other People/Companies take up those contracts

4. Those Companies post job openings to build said houses

5. People take said jobs, they can refuse if they don't want to work for a company working for the Govt.

6. Houses get built

Sounds like regular capitalism to me, no one is being forced to do something they don't want.

If the government are building the houses surely that's the will of the people?
Being able to guarantee tail calls is a useful optimization in far more cases than code replaceable by loops. I’ve used it myself where dispatch targets themselves are dynamic (so can’t be trivially made into a loop) for significant performance gains.

Anecdotally, I knew a lot of angry engineers in February who found out about their 2% raise and vowed to switch jobs due to this (most likely to another company who just gave 2% raises)

Now, not switching jobs, they don't care much if their next raise will be 2% or 8%, but more if they're considered the 20% of their company that might get fired in the next couple of months

This article is a bit late to the game. When most companies announced 2021 raises and bonuses we were at the very end of 'The Great Resignation' where employees felt the world is their oyster. Looking towards the end of 2022, the reality is very different

It was certainly not easy. I took 5 weeks off of work! It’s not in my nature to stop working for so long, so that was a strange experience. Recovery has been good. I look better now, so that’s awesome...a good side effect! I have some remaining “weird feeling” in my lower left chin area, but it doesn’t really bother me.

Aren't the Japanese big on "mixers" where you get equal numbers of guys and gals together for dinner/drinks - and a date would only be if you hit it off at one?

Of course there are other ways to get a date, but I suspect they have a pretty defined meaning for it.
Actually, there are tests now for depression. And yes, you can do objective tests like brain imaging to see people's responses to stimuli among other things.
