I have been in and out of Korea for many years and know several families where the norm went from several children to one within two generations. The main factors that I think caused this trend are:

1. Husband and wife both now work, not just in jobs, but in careers they are heavily invested in.

2. Getting and prospering in a career is really tough. I heard something like among current college graduates, only 20% are expected to ever find a full-time permanent position.

3. The education system is so competitive that doing well requires effort to the limits of physical endurance. It is not just the financial cost. Supporting a child to adulthood is draining on the parents in other ways. The families I know are in the top 10% for educational attainment, so I don't know how well this applies to working class families.

4. This is relatively minor, but there is a perpetual housing crunch and this affects prices.
I'm right there with you, as long as that 300 mbps connection is symmetrical, and the ISP is carrier neutral. I didn't know how big a deal neutrality was until I switched from Suddenlink to a small company called Vexus. Gigabytes of nightly backups went from hours to 5 minutes, and downloads from certain companies improved drastically.
Then don't you have to store the hydrogen somehow? Aren't we still working on that too?
I truly feel this statement in my bones the longer I'm in technology...

For the specific case you mention, "taint analysis" would be appropriate.

There is no “her” money. My wife has been home for 15 years raising our kids. I make the money but it’s not my money. She’s gone back to school now that the kids are mostly self sufficient. When she starts working it’ll go into the bank account we’ve shared since we got married.
I've only written three so far, including this one; you'll find them all at LWN. Buying a subscription to LWN is the best way to ensure that they keep paying me to write more :D
Most families do not need to have two parents working if they live like people 60 years ago. Ie one car, a 1000 sq ft home, vacations in the local area, home made lunches, hand me down clothes, no AC, no electronics, no braces.
Natural numbers start at 0, so it makes sense.

1 is just as arbitrary as 2 or 79823 etc. Math wouldn't work without 0.

Thats good enough for me.
>Toyota promised to never make a manual version of their Supra, then just this last year they put together a cobbled transmission to save their car.

But they've been putting a delicious 6 speed manual in their FRS/GT86/BRZ for 10 years, and continue to.
Really? Honda's the only one I know of with the Africa Twin and Goldwing right now AFAIK. Are there more?
The extraordinary claim here is the one DDG is making. They have every incentive to lie about it. There is no obvious way to check their claim.
I love push/roll starting a manual car. One of my fondest memories is push starting my Dad's (lower end) Ferrari in the liquor store parking lot.
I learned on a very old non-luxury car and it also took me weeks to get comfortable with it. Either we're just incompetent here or BMWs are easier to drive.
Yes, outside fast charging infrastructure is not reliable.

That said, it costs just as much as gas (in my area, 4x residential power rate) so it’s not like you will want to fast charge on a regular basis.

It’s a pretty bad idea to buy an EV and not have home/work charging.

I don't get it. How are you getting on to the victim's iptables?
In Korea maybe, the world's population is going to continue rising though. And those climate refugees are starting to come from the fullest countries.
I've been using OWA for a while as my primary work email and it's nice. I probably pin too much shit, but it's overall a good app. And since MS is web tech obsessed, OWA will replace Outlook at some point in the future. Project Monarch / One Outlook is still super half baked and predictably an awful RAM hog compared to the native app, but the writing is on the wall.
When you are married, there is no 'her money' or 'your money'. There is just your collective money.

I'd take such squabbling as a huge, waving, in your face red flag. Evaluate it carefully. Question why one would want money they don't want the other touching. Is she planning to live large while you beg for money under an overpass? Or is she thinking of a future without you? Because those are pretty much the two scenarios that would lead to such behavior.

FWIW, I work, my wife doesn't. Imagine if I complained about her spending 'my money.'
And as they say, the most environmentally friendly car is the one you already own.
In most countries you can register as independent instead of a company. It means higher taxes on profit but much lower registration and maintenance costs. This is a perfectly legal way of making a tiny bit of money while still paying taxes.

Some countries even let you make money without declaring it, as long as you’re within a threshold. You probably won’t get accepted at most payment providers with that setup though so YMMV, you can always manually process invoices / give your product for free while gating it behind “intent to pay”, etc.
Ask HN: Is it the norm for companies/startups to not give a damn about security?
Hi, I've joined a startup a few months ago(with a few dozens employees). A B2B startup which have some very huge clients which you all heard of, multinationals, some parts of governments.

It's not critical infrastructure or anything close to that, but we deal with the personal data of pretty important employees of those companies, and have an app installed on their phones.

And the "security" culture, seems like the worst you could imagine, I wonder if it's (almost) the norm in the industry or just some bad luck, would love to have your opinions and stories about this topic

A few months ago, I found a vulnerability allowing any user(and I do mean ANY user), to login as an admin on our homemade administration space with a simple trick, which would allow them to change almost any "trusted" content that users can see on our app, text, images, videos, links or files that they'll be asked to open/download, delete users, dump a list of all users...

Fixing this has been at the bottom of the todo list for months, and no one seems to care, no one is assigned to it.
When it's brought up people are like "ooh yeah that's like really really bad, but what about [tiny useless feature than one user asked about]?we don't have the time to fix that!"

Hundreds of employees passwords for what's AFAIK our largest client, are stored in PLAINTEXT.(same story as the vulnerability, bottom of the todo list, no one cares)

Oh, and did I mention that any logged in user can call almost any API endpoints with almost zero verification that he's allowed to call them?

Those 3 issues are still there after months even though everybody is aware of them.

Would you just get the hell out without looking back? or keep trying to improve stuff even when it takes months to just get them to care enough to start maybe thinking about assigning a dev to a problem?

How is it at your current/past companies?

Thanks
I am the sole income earner in our household, but my wife and I have separate checking accounts. It’s not a matter of whether it’s my money or hers, but just a convenient way to isolate spending to reduce lines of communication. Early in my career I wasn’t earning a lot, and having to coordinate spending around a shared account led to more than one overdraft charge. Yes, this could be solved with careful communication and planning but that’s overhead we didn’t need or want to deal with for day to day spending.
Larger purchases we have to coordinate on, but the communication is important there and less so on whether me splurging on a nice lunch with friends is going to impact her paying for school clothes.

Technically both accounts are joint accounts so it’s definitely not about hiding purchases or income. It’s just a logical partition around our daily spending habits.

We have been married for 16 years and together for 23. We don’t ever fight about money.
How thick of a cable does it need to transfer a whole battery in just a minute? 85 Kw/h in 1/60th of an hour over 60 seconds is 5.1 mega joules per second. A 24,000 volts it would need wire capable of carrying 212.5 amps. How could that be made safe?
Except that I didn’t break the rule because it’s about telling people to read the article not about mentioning the article at all.
Obviously. We can’t have our cake and eat it too.
What options are there for managing persistent storage in Nomad? I've been through the very basic initial getting started tutorial, but haven't had a chance to dig any deeper. When I was trying kube, I found Longhorn to be the one thing I liked. Is there anything like that for Nomad?

I've been trying to get a MariaDB Galera cluster running on Docker Swarm for the past couple weeks and have been somewhat stymied a few things. Something like Longhorn would help a lot.
A great number of the cool designs from the 50's and 60's are illegal because the front of the car eats people. Swallows them, chews them up, and spits them out.

The sloped design of new cars isn't just about aerodynamics. In a low-speed impact a pedestrian is lifted onto the hood. Forward leaning grills, such as on the Dodge Charger, some of the beefier Mustangs, and any number of other muscle cars or sedans, instead clip pedestrians in the knee or hip, tip them over and drop them onto the ground, where the car then runs over them.

I think there was also an issue with those profiles and Jersey barriers, in that they were more likely to pole vault over them off the side of a bridge or onto - not into - oncoming traffic.

You are not ever going to get those designs back.
Real electronic buttons are a decent second choice. Just don't put HVAC on a touchscreen.
Has anybody come across any studies with adverse outcomes with psilocybin? I've heard of HPPD (hallucinogen persisting perception disorder) though it's somewhat rare. The benefits seem overwhelmingly positive.

So it's not about canned orchestration?
I once worked in a "regulated" industry where the product was "certified" by a third party before going live with the customer. It handled money, but was outside of banking (picture something like sports betting.) The third party had access to the code, but didn't look at it or try to build it. They purely ran manual QA, black box-type tests, then gave it their stamp of approval.

This was in the old days, years before git or GitHub. There were no code reviews. There was maybe 5 unit tests in the whole code base, and they were run manually.

As developers, we had full production / root access with essentially zero oversight. I had a VPN into this stuff from my house. If I screwed something up bad enough, we probably would've received a visit from a Tony Soprano-like character, so that was probably enough of an incentive to keep things working.
The Honda Super Cub was pretty cool, and it dates back to the late '50s. Apocryphally, it used a centrifugal clutch to free the left hand so the rider could hold a package while driving.
meh, my wife's car does that, but to me it's not the same. I think if I can put into words what I like about manual transmissions, it's more than just the control to change the gears, it's the actual tactile feeling of removing power from the drivetrain (via clutch), then re-applying it. it's the cliche feeling of "connection" to the car, road, and what's happening. But I understand why the manual is dying. Most people don't want it, today's automatics are much better suited for towing (thus eliminating the manual in trucks and SUVs), and the top of the top of performance cars paddle shift light years faster than anyone could in a proper manual transmission.
Past Nissan Cube owner here reporting that you can stuff a twin mattress against the ceiling of the car, supported by the heads of the driver and passenger, for several blocks.
You are just describing a tradeoff between two competing goals. It's not hypocritical to have those. In fact it's entirely unavoidable to juggle such situations all day, every day, your whole life: go to bed now or work a bit longer? Buy the beach house or the boat? If you appoint one person to manage your sleep and another to get you to exercise, the everyday tradeoff will be represented by different people, just like Tether is experiencing it.

It is not, however, best practice to react to government requests by explaining to them that there are other strategies that they could pursue, and that you believe them to be much better to get at these darn criminals, and that you will therefore ignore the request.

If they truly believe in their argument, they would sue and make it in court.
yeah, that's the joke :)
Kids are too expensive to raise, housing in major cities with jobs are unaffordable, and women are having a hard time continuing their career after giving birth.

It really comes down to these three problems.
The government is aware and making efforts but it's not enough to convince young married couples to have kids.
But anyone that drives a manual will let you know it's mostly about the clutch and how you use it, rather than choosing what gear you're in. Using a clutch just right can produce amazing amount of torque just when you need it. Automatic clutch can be incredibly efficient, but it simply can't know what you want to do.
One of them is my pretty technologically illiterate business partner, so that leaves me in a bit of a bind, slowly getting them onto other things.
Looks like a lot of spherical aberration?
> cannot believe one says this when its well established that the vaccinated can get and transmit covid

We're discussing polio. Not Covid.
People keep saying high child death rates mean people have more children. But i have yet to find any proofs or research paper for this. What I really find is that as people's expectations of better living go up (not living expenses per se), then people have less children.
I bet they'll eventually make electric cars with manual gearboxes and gearing to simulate this experience in an EV. You can already do this on your own with things like thr Ford EV crate motor that you can just bolt in any old car.
In my experience, the application framework changes much more often than the database.

PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, Angular, React, Django, whatever. Pick a year, pick a framework. The database stays steady.
My wife and I own everything in common and split the household work along the lines of our capabilities. My money, her money never comes into it. It’s our money.
Thank you for all your work on Ethereum.
It's a HTML/JS GUI fuzzer, but the author saw this as the "default" to the point they didn't even specify that. At this point I've given up hope that native libraries and frameworks will return to the mainstream of desktop apps, but I'm still going to continue working with native libraries.
My wife and I are Korean-American, albeit with many ties to our country of origin.

Something I've noticed is that many couples that do want a child have a very difficult time conceiving. People are having kids at a later age on average, but even younger couples seem to have a hard time.

Various gynecological disorders seem to be very common too - fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, amongst others, all of which affect a woman's fertility.

My wife and I have been trying for a kid but have been unsuccessful. Many of our friends are experiencing the same, and are resorting to clinical fertility procedures like in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination.

I don't know how true it is, but one of my friends outright said that the majority of women in Korea are conceiving through some kind of fertility procedure, and that if we really wanted a baby, not to waste our time and just go ahead and do the same.

One thing that makes me believe him is that there are a ton of twins amongst the couples in our social circle. My understanding is that naturally twins are a rare phenomenon, but much more likely if doing something like in vitro or artificial insemination?

Us, we've already decided that push comes to shove, we'll most likely adopt.
I really enjoy my 3D printer but the number of real use cases is fairly low in terms of day-to-day utility. This is exactly the kind of thing that makes me excited about the future of the hobby.
Good I hope he destroys that patent troll's life and empties his bank account defending against it.
Yep. I’m constantly leaning around in my Yaris trying to see what is in front of me. Great car to drive though!
Some of Mark Twain's funniest stories/articles mock and lambast newsmen, more people would be aware of this if they had read literature instead of biking around like a bunch of marriage and furniture hating communists.
Is anyone teaching "Practice of boring Distributed Systems 101 for dummies on a budget with a tight schedule" ?

I have to admit, there's something about this comment that makes me sad in a way. Not to say that there's anything inherently wrong with this question or to say that I disagree with you exactly. It's just that I like the idea of computing / hacking being centered more around a mindset of limitless possibilities, exploration, questioning the boundaries of what can be done (as opposed to what should be done?), and not something that's caught up in drudgery like budgets, schedules, and "business stuff."

Sorry, guess I'm just feeling nostalgic for a minute or something (maybe because I've been watching that 5 hour long interview Lex Fridman did with Carmack) and am flashing back to what computing was to me when I first got involved. Back in those days, a paper / book like this would have evoked a "WOW, HOW F%#@NG COOL IS THIS!??!!????" reaction from me. And I guess it still kinda does in a weird sort of way, even though I also have to deal with budgets, schedules, and the drudgery of the business world. sigh
I second this, Macan owner since 6 years and have not been more satisfied going 0-60 in 6 seconds in a car that i have loaded with close to 50 gravel bags from Home Depot :) oh and going back to original post, two main reasons i chose the car was 1. Way it drives and 2. Tactile buttons
High-performance secure extensible OCI-complaint JavaScript runtime for WasmEdge
My interest lies in how many zeros of population are required to support certain technology strata.

E.g. about a million workers are required to build and maintain aircraft. How many for nuclear power (counting everyone from teachers to healthcare etc.)
A similar amount of mining would be required for the steel, aluminum, and plastic needed to build brand new ICE cars. And ICE cars require constant mining of petroleum just to use the car. The key difference with electric cars is that mining is not necessary to use the car (as long as you charge it with renewable electricity).

The environmental damage from the use phase of ICE vehicles dwarfs the environmental damage from their construction, because use is continuous and ongoing while construction only happens once. Getting rid of the continuous pollution of ICE cars is a major win.
What about the sites without ads that still do Amazon referral links or similar covert profit generation strategies?
Not really.

One can also frame it as society’s fault for not providing both women and men with sufficient incentive to procreate. Note that the word “fault” typically has a negative connotation, but I am not intending to use it with positive or negative connotation, but simply as a causative factor.

The comment I replied to stated something changed, to which I wanted to clarify what I think the biggest variable that changed. Of course, men also may not want to have as many kids as in previous years, but I would still bet this is a much smaller factor than women saying no.
There is neither sugar nor caffeine in herbal tea - you cannot drink too much of it

I have probably had a sum total of 10 mocktails in my life - each of which has less caffeine and sugar than a half can of coca-cola
No it won't. Poor countries arent that stupid. Many don't allow surrogacy for ethical reasons. What they want is for current rich countries to impoverish themselves so there's room for more competition.
Yeah. And the car is just second guessing you in general. I can blip the throttle in my automatic and the car acts like nothing happened at all. Or I’ll put my foot to the floor, nothing happens, then a few seconds later it downshifts and jerks forward. But it’s easy on long journeys and the road is not a racetrack so I can’t complain.
We would greatly appreciate it! You can send it to founders@anysphere.co
No I don't really have any public code.

I read your blog post and I agree 100%

The database is the easiest place to code business logic that pertains to the data. Write it once, it's available for all client applications.
For my setup, I do a "local" version of Geforce Now.

I have my gaming PC in another room and stream it to my laptop using Nvidia's GameStream and Moonlight. I run it at 1440p with 120fps. With everything connected via ethernet, I get an end-to-end latency of 7ms. This means my stream is only just 1 frame behind the PC.

I use this setup for fast-paced games as well as regular PC usage. 99% of the time, I can't tell that it's a remote stream.

The advantages of the setup are:

1. Don't have to deal with the heat and noise of my gaming PC being in my room.

2. Switching between my laptop and gaming PC is faster than using a hardware KVM switch.

3. I can easily stream games or use my PC remotely with tablets and phones.

Disadvantages are:

1. Gamestream and Moonlight don't support streaming dual screens at once.

2. Gsync doesn't work over streaming. So lower frame rates (< 60fps) aren't as smooth as native.
It's more sad than just kinda.
For an exceptionally loose definition of "equivalent" good faith and bad faith are equivalent (they’re both phrases that use the word “faith”), same goes for apples and oceans (mostly water)

The position that “things are equivalent in the case that I get to define all of the words “ isn’t the dialectical Judo throw that you think it is, buddy. It does not inspire confidence that a person is being serious.
Along these lines, they already virtual gearboxes in China for license exams as fleets got electrified but the rules require passing with a manual transmission for a full license. Gear shifts and crucially, stalling all simulated with software. The electric motor, with its infinite torque, doesn't need real hardware gearboxes.
