If you're bent on arguing this from first principals, rather than a nuanced discussion about the quality of life of an unwanted child, remember that parents are not obligated at any other point to give up parts of their own body for their "child". It is only during a pregnancy where a woman is obligated to provide nutrients directly from her bloodstream. This is a "right" that the child, once born, no longer has - even if the child needs it to survive, the parents are under no obligation to donate blood or organs.
"Children have leisure, adults don't. School is entertaining, work isn't." I suppose I agree.

The one thing adulthood brings is money. That's really the big thing. But its best use is to be saved so you don't have to continue the "adulting" thing, so it's all a bit circular.
Yes. But that model applies to every one. That is, the lower bar leads to more noise (read: crap bands) and morw competition).

Easy means, less effort. Less effort means less creativity.

It's a race to the bottom.
The market for Tesla cars is still red hot, though. I would be extremely worried about Tesla if there were no factories and dealers, just stock and hype. If hype is your only asset, it's hard to see how you recover from a crash.
Banks are quasi-governmental institutions, they will always be bailed out. They hold a special governmental license to create money. Too big to fail they call it.

Crypto ain't money, it's an asset class. Asset classes rise and fall, But none of these "billion dollar firms" created yesterday by a 25 year old are going to be safe when the price plummets given the highly leveraged nature of it all.

Maybe your parent commenter made it too personal by bringing respect into the discussion. I just didn't feel your parent poster called anyone a name, so I disagree with what you're saying was being done there. That commenter named an action as being ugly, which is not problematic, IMHO.

I don't think it's the same thing as calling names; it's an important distinction to me to criticize actions and not people, and that's what your parent did.

Many here are criticizing the actions of GitHub/MS. That's fair, but we can also criticize the act of criticizing just the same.

(Again, I might agree with you if bringing "respect" into it could be seen as having a similar effect as name-calling in the sense that it makes the discussion more personal than it needs to be.)

The intended audience for this article is pro-choice people, not the pro-life people. It's trying to start a "strategy discussion" on how to better enact certain goals. In short, he's not trying to convince any pro-lifer of anything here, he's trying to convince pro-choice people to use better arguments.

And in general, I actually avoid the "soul argument" as well, even when engaging with pro-life people. First, I know several pro-life people who are not religious or even atheists, secondly I have no good arguments to counter a faith-based belief, and thirdly I think that for many religious pro-life people it's not even that important of an argument (for example many – though not all – pro-life advocates will allow room for nuance in cases of medical issues or rape).
same! I maintain a humble little lib used by prettier, etc and it receives 5.5 million weekly downloads. I've got a few more like that as well. They've never received a donation, and I have just a few monthly donors (to which I'm very grateful) so this was cool to see.

The aggregate of human action is uncontrollable, at least at our current understanding and level of technology. What is being asked to be controlled, here, is other humans, not connectivity and protocols, and controlling humans can be... difficult, whether by law, cultural norms, or whatnot.
I think the idea is the modern adult has an insane commute due to the unaffordability of housing, a full-time demanding job that often requires more than eight hours a day and child-raising responsibilities. Finding the time can be a challenge if you’re consuming 11 hours of your day on work+commute and try and invest another 3 hours a day minimum in family. That leaves two waking hours for eating and chores on a weekday. Many people use weekends to catch up on things they can’t get done during the week. It’s very possible for adulthood to be a grind that’s unlikely anything that came before it.
Whether you agree with Richard Dawkins or not, I think he articulates really well the root source of disagreement between people who see and portray themselves as "pro-life," on one hand, and people who see and portray themselves as "pro-choice," on the other:

The two groups disagree as to when a human life begins.

People who call themselves "pro-life" sincerely believe life begins at the moment of conception. For example, most people in this camp believe the cells at all stages of human embryonic development constitute a human life.[a] Alas, there is a large subgroup of people in this camp whose rationale for these beliefs is religious and absolutist, and therefore non-negotiable.

People who call themselves "pro-choice" have differing views as to when a human life begins. Most people in this camp think that cells at all stages of human embryonic development are just... cells, incapable of suffering because they lack a brain.[a] However, as an embryo gradually starts becoming a fetus, people in this camp often disagree with each other as to when those cells start becoming a human being. And then there's a large subgroup of people in this camp whose rationale is ideological and absolutist, and therefore non-negotiable.

IMHO the religious and ideological people on both sides are unlikely ever to come to agreement.

If long tail content isn't financially viable for YouTube, then YouTube either doesn't exist, charges for hosting, or gatekeeps.

Uber was the opposite. In ~2017 after years of hyper growth they had over 10,000 repos supporting nearly as many micro-services. The move to monorepos (technically two, one for jvm stuff, one for go) came as a solution to the maintenance issues of this sprawl. I was there when a mandate came down to move your service into the monorepo.
Even billboard advertisement is not the same as making it cool.
I think the point that GP is making is not that every subreddit that a group of people complain about is nothing to be concerned or worried about; rather, that people who inhabit subs dedicated to banning other subs operate within a moral framework which on the whole is dubious at the edges. For example, clamoring to ban consensual non-consent (CNC, a form of kink) subreddits because they perceive it as "normalizing" certain behaviors, or banning content of fictional characters, or banning support groups where various "degenerate" people frequent. These are edge cases which do not fit into the generalization of "jailbait"/"stealthing"/"creepshot" subreddits, which are non-consensual by nature. It's disingenuous to suppose that a subreddit for roleplaying BDSM/risque fantasies between members falls under the same moral realm of regulation as subreddits that post links to childrens' social media accounts to gather risque photos.

I'm all for illegal and non-consensual content subreddits to be banned. That's not all the mentioned "Ban This and That" subs are asking for, so I won't accept their moral opinions beyond the issues of non-consenting and illegal materials. They are prescribing a sexual morality, one which I, and I think many reasonable people, disagree with or at least have qualms with. If you don't believe me, r/BFHS seems to be a hotspot for anti-kink and anti-porn activists who suggest that women with kinks need to "heal"[0]. If that's not moralizing, I'm not sure what is.

> One idea I've considered, but not fully, is the idea of being able to vote only if you pay taxes

I've seen some variant of this on HN recently, proposing ways to TAKE AWAY voting rights.

(The last time that sticks in my mind was someone saying you should only be allowed to vote if you do so under the guidance of a sanctioned organization like a non profit social organization!)

After all the progress in voting rights during the last century, it is disheartening to read people seriously proposing taking rights away from people.
I'm going to wade in on this against my better interests.

To me, the debate seems to have a paradox that can't be resolved using the logic we've inherited from the Enlightenment (mostly). Namely: People have rights to their bodies.

Yes, it's super-duper more complicated than just that, I know. But, to my brain, it seems to boil mostly down to that.

We have to define rights, people, bodies, what 'have' means, etc. Sure, yeah, I know.

But Nature, she don't care about the Enlightenment and all our attempts at reasoning. Nature cares about making babies.

We're mammals. This is how we reproduce, how all mammals do it. We raise our young inside of our bodies until a time comes that they can survive. Then (most) mammals feed our young with our bodies for a while more. Mammals take a long time to get to be totally self-sufficient. We're not fish or crickets. This is the 'tech-debt' that Nature gave us.

If we were dinosaur-people that laid eggs, we would not have these issues between rights and bodies and mammalian reproduction.

We'll see what this debate is like in the future when we have babies born from artificial wombs.
Large for-profit corporations are never going to be that interested in providing anything other than a relatively small range of products and services, because that's the most profitable approach. If everyone drinks Coke, you can build a Coke factory, develop economies of scale, and make large profits. If everyone has their own unique beverage with no preservatives that has a short shelf life, this doesn't scale, as now you need hundreds of separate production lines for each unique beverage.

This also creates a desire for a homogenous population that can be easily marketed to, and ideally a rather dumbed-down population that can be herded like cats by AI recommendation algorithms into the appropriate boxes where their buying habits can be essentially dictated to them (along with their political opinions, ahem). Meet the brainwashed zombies of mass consumption...

You really have to deliberately choose to not participate in this, but if you turn your back on it, you can still find lots of interesting niches outside of the Amazon-Netflix-Spotify zone - but nobody's getting rich out on the fringes, because margins are thin and there's no economies of scale to exploit.

With age every year you are guaranteed to have your age increase by one year. You and people your age will eventually reach the voting age. At that point you can vote to change the voting age.

When it comes to wealth, you are not guaranteed to ever make enough money to pay taxes. You could go your whole life not being allowed to vote.
Right, because nobody thinks abortion prevents pregnancy, at least nobody who knows what the word contraceptive means.

I believe in the following sentences very much. However, I believe the value of the internet for any person could possibly be directly correlated with the amount of PII they are willing to share which to me makes this, if, a question of morality, a personal decision.

The sentences that stuck out to me are: “If your phone number or other PII has ever been associated with your identity, that association will be in place indefinitely and is probably available on multiple data broker sites.

The best way to be anonymous on the internet is to be anonymous, which means posting without any name or identifier at all. If that isn't practical, then using a non-meaningful pseudonym and not posting anything personally identifiable is recommended.”

It's globally used for cheap international money transfers. I use litecoin for that.
You assert that it doesn't work however we are in a thread where a major company like Uber has switched to it making your assertion ring hollow.

I do not understand your point about conflicts as 3 commits across 3 projects with 3 different CI pathways is going to cause more conflicts than 1 commit across 1 repo. In my experience managing one code change or project across 3 repos is a 10X difficulty increaser in terms of repo management, conflicts, etc. It's not just 3X harder, it's 10X harder to me. The number of times I've seen a spelling mistake/naming difference/etc in 1 out of 3 repos because the PRs were done separately and no one noticed is too damn high.

The simplicity of having it all together strongly outweighs the benefits of multi repo in most situations IMO. The number of projects/companies/etc that would benefit from some highly engineered microservice-based multi-repo monster is probably less than 100 in my country, and 1000 worldwide.

Right, this is why opsec is something that you must always be doing.

Anything you say can be preserved forever.

Better to use short-lived throwaway identities, and leave yourself the power of combining them later, than to start with one long-lived identity and find yourself unable to split it up.

It's inconvenient in real life that I'm expected to use my legal identity for everything. If I go to group therapy for an embarrassing personal problem, someone there can look me up because everyone is using real names. I don't like it.
Crypto companies are tech stocks. But even so, crypto itself has actually given up LESS than the typical high growth tech stock. The pre-pandemic price of BTC was around 9-10k. It's still double that right now. Meanwhile, companies like Teladoc and Shopify have fallen BELOW their pre pandemic levels, and newly IPO'd companies like Palantir, Robinhood, etc. are floundering down to new lows every other week.
That isn't justification for the censorship. Reporters do report on things they don't understand all the time. The point was to make it possible for qualified people to investigate, but that wasn't politically popular at the time.

Should the scientific community rally to the opposition of the current unpopular president? That doesn't seem like a good idea.

And this last point is a fascinating common non sequitor. That's not even what happened; we had the media clamoring that it came from that market and any talk of the lab is racist and/or xenophobic. Do you think any investigation of the lab would have jeopardized the public? Worse than the visceral eating bats (i.e. selling bats for consumption)?
Obviously. What's the beauty of being an office... ahm, worker wasting your life to repay loans/mortgages and raise the next generation of office workers?

It'd be great to research and promote alternative adult lifestyles, where you don't need rich parents or be super lucky, but that may require some hard work and dedication to build. For example, the prospect of becoming a digital nomad could be definitely more interesting for teens than turning into a typical hardworking suit.
that’s not actually what happens at Uber. They use bazel for the go monorepo which can accurately determine what modules are affected by a given change and only runs those tests.

They also use mostly homegrown CI tools alongside phabricator for code review, or at least they did while I was there.
> The fact that there's no video, with how approachable LPL is and accepts random locks in his PO box, can only be seen as a red flag.

He says he's going to make a small number of prototypes and send them to the locksport community. It's not a "red flag", it's just very early in his design cycle.
> You really can't refrain from sharing your prejudices apparently.

Part of my point is that most people can't or don't. Should it be different? Yes. Is it going to be? Not anytime soon. Does this mean you think these people are categorically evil?

> in contrast to the large group of dimwitted retrogrades who are unable to reckon with the personal freedoms of others? These are the same people that gravitate toward religious lunacy and repressive politics in general all over the world.

Apparently so... I think that's pretty ironic. You're asking me to be empathetic, to not stereotype, and to see the bigger picture. But you think everyone who doesn't feel exactly as you do is a lunatic or a fascist?

Look, the spirit of the original comment thread wasn't criticizing any specific group of people, it was saying that equality doesn't happen overnight. Not everyone is 100% on board all the time, or will even always agree with what equality means. Accept that change is slow and hard, and empathize with the normies who you clearly think are beneath you, and I promise you will win more hearts and minds.
In fact, fill in the entire sentence after “If there is money to be made…” with any words.
Based on the historical behavior of the US government, I honestly don't trust that it won't happen. Every woman might not be targeted, but some will, and that is deplorable.

The alternative is that officials face consequences for violating peoples rights. This would actually make things work better because rights would be enforced. Officials who violate them would be fired and/or fined and/or imprisoned (depending the situation), because what they did was illegal.
I've never seen an article from a large company saying "we use multiple repos and it's great". Setting as all large companies seem to end up monorepo, I'm guessing in practice it is better.

I'd be happy to see a counter-example, but I've not seen one yet.
Are You a Product or Feature?
You won't get the same response all the time and you may need to massage the query for each context/person to find the right answer. It doesn't mean it doesn't work - that's just how this system presents answers. Don't expect 100% accuracy.

Also keep in mind even obvious / common things may not be indexed, but openai gpt3 will rather make something up than say it doesn't know. So if you get randomness, maybe it just doesn't know.

Oh yeah, I forgot that Google has also gone downhill. At least Reddit's search is consistent. ;)
More programming in the world is done in a 1-based language, Excel, which has more users than all other languages combined.

0-based languages are in the minority as far as installed base and usage goes. Being 1-based is a decision dependent on target audience and application.

Fortran, one of the earliest languages, is 1-based, so there’s plenty of historical precedent.

Matlab, one of the most commercially successful languages in history is 1-based, so it’s not exactly a barrier to adoption.
It would also be faster to send a lot of punctuation characters, math operators, etc. Since the keypad area scancodes have those available without setting shift first.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is real.
