it is nothing about incentive. Let's say a mining pool wants to disrupt the bitcoin network, do you think that pool will keep its hashrate ? I don't think so.
I can see some of it driven by situations where nothing could be done to prevent a negative outcome as well: if a death is unpreventable, what's the point in knowing it's coming? I think that's implicit in many of the events in the paper's studies (or explicit? I didnt read it carefully), this idea that they're unavoidable.

Maybe that's consistent with what you're saying, in the sense that something unavoidable has infinitely high amounts of cost associated with it in terms of rectification or prevention.

I noticed that NFS became a lot less important to me around the time that distributed version control software (specifically CVS) became popular. Suddenly the main reason I was using NFS, to share our RCS source code repo, disappeared.
I mean, they could probably start by having actually useful keyboard shortcuts, instead of 2 pairs of shortcuts that do exactly the same thing (`Ctrl+L` and `F6`; `Ctrl+K` and `Ctrl+E`), and the four together doing almost exactly the same thing (the first two focus the omnibar, the latter focus the omnibar and set it to search mode, which is equivalent to focusing the omnibar and typing "?" then pressing `Tab` or typing "<default search engine alias>" and pressing Tab).

At least from my own usage, I can identify many common usage patterns that would benefit from shortcuts that focus the omnibar and set it to some special mode, just like the VSCode command palette does (e.g. `Ctrl+Shift+P`, `Ctrl+P`, `Ctrl+Shift+O`, etc.). In fact, I don't know how a WebExtension-enabled VSCode-based browser hasn't popped up yet.

Employers need to get better at remote layoffs
There are three things that are lacking from the article completely as a reason for lower sexual activity: a lack of time, a place and money:

- With people working ridiculous overtimes, "double shifts" or working two jobs just to make ends meet, there is simply no time to maintain a relationship. That one is offset a bit by Tinder and other "casual sex" opportunities, but nevertheless it's going to impact people.

- With rents being ridiculously high, a majority of young adults are forced to live at their parents', a record number not seen in many decades. And without one's own place, it's hard to even enter a relationship, much less have sex.

- to expand on that point, maintaining a relationship or having casual sex requires money, which a lot of people simply don't have available. Cinema tickets, going eating out to a restaurant, other joint activities... you get the drift, no money means no dates means no sex.

- Especially for the US: as sex can result in children, even when using condoms, the pill or IUDs, many women elect to abstain from sexual activity entirely since the access to abortion is under ever more and more attacks.

- Additionally, the cost of giving birth [2] and raising a child [3] is prohibitively expensive for many people, further reducing the amount of people willing to search for a partner in the first place.

Writing a ContentEditable editor means learning the internal state machines and undocumented behaviors of every browser you support. There are many articles online about ContentEditable / rich text editing. This one is a classic https://medium.engineering/why-contenteditable-is-terrible-1...

The major issue for both Android and CJK input is dealing with “composition” of characters by an “input method editor”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_method

In English, usually it’s okay to assume one key press event = one letter input. The opposite is true on Android generally, and for CJK languages on all platforms. These use input systems (like handwriting) where keypresses never occur, or many keypresses compose to produce one character. There are also new rules for IME composition input like “you can’t touch the DOM or change the selection during composition or the input will cancel and your user will be mad”. It turns the problem from “Hard” difficulty to “Nightmare” difficulty.

The baffling thing on Android is that each keyboard (Gboard, Samsung Keyboard, Swiftkey, Simeji, Sogou, Naver) have different composition behaviors with different event patterns… and GBoard’s ENGLISH input is probably the most strange! It composes whole English words like they were Chinese characters, and it wants to compose SO badly it will move text selection from wherever the user tapped to the nearest English word. And as an added bonus on Android only, the browsers selection APIs report the wrong selection during different phases of the event flow. Hah. Like when you tap a key, Android will send a selectionChange event before the first input-related event, and that selectionChange will probably report some weird lie about the selection position.

"People" meaning banks really. The games with credit are effectively driving the housing shortage by making buying the small number of already built homes effectively more affordable than building new ones in the massive amount of permissibly zoned empty space we have. We're only exacerbating it by bringing in tons of legal and illegal immigrants and having the government pay for their housing. It's not surprising there's a conspiracy theory about intentional replacement of the native population with that going on.

Combine that with the value extraction from rent/debt (everyone has to own a car and since they probably can't afford to just buy one most are in debt over it) and no one can afford sex.

However in the case of "learning", we're talking about the macro and micro physical structure of the brain encoding vast amounts of sensory-motor models of its environment, etc. We're talking about the brain-body-environment as the site of mood, emotion, desire, belief, imagination, etc. We're talking about that thing when given vallium (a simple chemical effect) has extremely complex net effects on mood, desire, belief, etc.

Inasmuch as CO2 has likewise, extremely complex effects.

The statement that the relevant actions of the brain-body system here are complex is scientifically uncontroversial. Yet, pseudoscience continues -- because some researchers ignore (or are ignorant) of the methodological implications.

“It's a fact...that in societies like ours sex truly represents a second system of differentiation, completely independent of money; and as a system of differentiation it functions just as mercilessly. The effects of these two systems are, furthermore, strictly equivalent. Just like unrestrained economic liberalism, and for similar reasons, sexual liberalism produces phenomena of absolute pauperization . Some men make love every day; others five or six times in their life, or never. Some make love with dozens of women; others with none. It's what's known as 'the law of the market'...Economic liberalism is an extension of the domain of the struggle, its extension to all ages and all classes of society. Sexual liberalism is likewise an extension of the domain of the struggle, its extension to all ages and all classes of society.”

Entertainment has entered a tyranny of choice. I see it personally. I can watch nearly every show and movie that was ever created but I still flip through Netflix and RT endlessly, often times choosing not to watch anything. When I was younger I would just watch Seinfeld re-runs, with commercials and all. Am I more "entertained" today than I was when I was growing up? I'm not convinced.

The weirdest thing is I don't remember what I used to talk to my friends about when I was in high school. We didn't have much shared media to talk about (e.g. periodic TV shows people obsess about today). None of us so much picked up a newspaper at the time so current events were out. None of us had that many specific interests and the interests we had weren't shared. But somehow we spent hours talking about something. I wish I could be a fly on the wall of my prom table to just take in what was discussed.

> sending money to Brazil from Europe

How much of these 100€ are going to get to the hands of the recipient, if sent by the "traditional" route? How fast can this money be made available to the recipient? What exchange rate is going to be used, the one offered to big international traders or the shitty one that banks offer to tourists? How much will be taken in fees by the banks? (not taxes, fees...).

I'll tell you: there is a good chance that middlemen are going to eat 7-12% of those 100€, just because they can and no competitor can challenge them.

And this is only for the first movement. What if the recipient in Brazil wants to have the money to buy something back in any other part of the world?

The comments in this thread and this article is making me want to read HN less. (What a crazy incorrect take for most of the population.)
I don’t know, I’m single, in my 30s and there is just no way in hell I’m taking a 4 hour take home assessment. I guess my only exception to this would be if was a job & company I had always dreamed of working at ever since I was a child (extremely unlikely). If I did take a 4 hour assessment and got the job, I would require an additional sum to my signing bonus for the time taken on the initial assessment (something like 1-5k depending on the role/industry/negotiating power I have).

A four hour assessment is just absurd. When I’m job searching (I’ve been fortunate to only have to do this a few times in my lifetime, and am in a position to be very selective in the opportunities I pursue), I’d more or less be open to a quick 1hr take home assessment, but nothing more.

In my experience companies typically take one of two paths when engagement with a potential candidate: a 1ish hour take-home assessment or a 1ish hour interview with a recruiter where they typically ask a number of basic job-relevant basic questions - IMO both methods just serve as a way to weed out the people who liter their resumes with buzzwords one line and actually are not qualified for the position at all.

Acting without thinking does not sound like a recipe for a good life.

What exactly is the problem? Is it that you ruminate, thinking in circles, instead of thinking productively?

Try writing down the problems you are ruminating about. Then write down your thoughts on how to solve them. Then write down the solution, even if the solution is that there is no solution and you should leave the problem aside for a specific amount of time. Then practice mindfulness, so that you very quickly become aware when you start to ruminate on problems you have either already solved or decided to put away, and not feed the rumination.

It's always been legal to say you implement the M extension, but only actually implement multiply in hardware, and provide a trap and emulate solution for the division instructions.

There has long been a -mno-div flag for gcc and clang to tell them not to generate divide instructions (i.e. call a library divide function directly, to save trap overhead) even though the M extension is present. This just provides a way to express that commonly-used functionality via an ISA string instead.
Adding my personal beef with the majority of tech 'reviews': The lack of honest distinction between a (medium-term usage) product review, and hands-on/impressions. Even with some hard data/testing methodologies- when you're a media outlet relying on page views and advertising, and you're racing to get your 'reviews' posted sooner or at least at the same time as the other sites- the reviews are going to be based on increasingly short-term impressions.

We need a better place than reddit where a wide variety of users can congregate and honestly discuss their experiences with products. Very hard problem when the market is basically at odds with what consumers want, in this regard.

> already built homes effectively more affordable than building new ones

The reason people buy instead of build is that the house is already there, whereas building anew takes a lot of time.

As interest rates grow, it becomes more expensive to do so, and waiting starts paying off.

But inflation is still high in spite of the high interest rates. And then, maybe the central banks will overshoot the interest rate, which will lead to another crash...

Other than that, living in a walkable area has its advantages, and codes are much stricter in high densities, so you can't build.

I read that book (Atomic Habits) and frankly this article summarize the main points quite well.

2. Make habits part of your personality (you don't have to workout, you are someone who works out)

I feel like all of those are somewhat obvious in hindsight but it's nice to see them formalized.

I actually meant the people, not banks. Banks exacerbate the problem, but you don't need to hold everyone to the same standards as 30 years ago. People in family homes in Southern Europe date, too. Many Japanese people get married before they leave the parental home. This was pretty standard in most of Europe and America a little less than a century ago.

>The awful part of all this is that young people blame women.

I don't want to blame women in particular, but from personal anecdotes, women in particular place huge importance on a guy having his own car and place, despite both being massive wastes of money here and actively hurting one's ability to get housing later. The opposite, not so much. This in a country where even rent is now mostly a dual-income market.
Obesity epidemic. I mean, when so many people are that unattractive, it's not exactly rocket science why we're having less sex.

EDIT -

The number of replies by people in denial that being horribly out of shape and having excessive body fat isn't related to attractiveness and sexual enjoyment is... well not surprising. Though it is indicative of how in denial our infantilizing culture is and how effectively it enables people to live out slothful, narcissistic, and self-destructive lifestyles, while blaming others for not accepting them.
Removing the profit incentive was pretty disasterous throughout history. I just can’t imagine a group of employees being able to veto strategic decisions can work. The system for this is startups which is working great. If you don’t like something, setup your own company and do things the way you want.

But if employees always demanded things to be run they way they want, then you couldn’t have this level of experimentation and innovation.

I think the obvious fact is that there are not many co op companies because it doesn’t work. It’s like: stop trying to change someone else’s company, and start your own and build it from the ground up with the governance structure you want.
