On my street about 10 years ago there was a house where childcare was being offered, but at some point the kids were just out wandering around. Turns out the lady running the daycare had taken to drinking and was drunk much of the day. Fortunately they shut her operation down pretty quickly after that.

Would love to hear feedback. Thanks!
> The average freight rail trip in the EU are much shorter which makes rail less competitive relative to trucks.

Which makes rail freight in US much more different, doesn't it? We cannot discount competitiveness when comparing rail networks in economics context.

The fact that US rail freight is so much more efficient makes any argument for internal water based transport much less sound.
This only solidified my position that market capitalism is more dangerous than worker owned corporations by far.

When 50,000 people own all portions of the economy, every unnecessary white collar worker “optimized” out of a job, every blue collar worker replaced by robotics, where is our society?
Absolutely.

IME, far from being a barrier to productivity, WFH can make it harder to maintain a good work-life balance if you're not careful.

For example, it's a lot easier for my colleagues in other timezones to justify pulling me into a 6am meeting if they know I can just roll out of bed to take the call. And I personally know people who've put in a lot more overtime because it's just so easy to keep on coding when you don't have a commute to bookend your day.

Stir in this latent perception that people who work from home are lazy, and I could see WFH being more toxic for people who aren't careful or work for a company with a broken culture.
AP News is a mess today
Looks like they mucked up a CSS link or something, but it's displaying a mess on all my web browsers today.
I'll add that if you do write it, email us a heads-up at hn@ycombinator.com so we can consider putting it in the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998309).
I don't think it is, I think this is just a popsci article on that well-known (in the field) fact.

I don't want to make it sound easy, because as the article says, our math lacks the ability to handle the way our current best theories describe it, but it certainly isn't any easier trying to understand QCD through the lens of particles as the fundamental objects. It's really a mess of field fluctuations, and in those field fluctuations we have certain patterns we call "particles", but those patterns can shift and ebb and flow in any number of ways, including in ways we have no intuitions for since our macroscopic intuition keeps wanting to sneak particles in the backdoor despite everything being waves.

Directly understanding what's going on isn't easy, but it's probably still easier than trying to hold on to particle-based ideas.

Or, you know, since none of this matters on a day-by-day basis to hardly anyone, I think just looking at it from the particle point of view and calling it a day is a perfectly viable option. In which case, a proton is three quarks, full stop. It's not 100% correct, but hey, QCD isn't either (still waiting on that Grand Unified Theory), so there's no real harm in stopping at the 3-quark model.
As an aside, I've worked from home my whole career and that time you spent after work with coworkers, I spent with my friends. So I never really needed to use work as a social outlet.

Most of my friends I see in person come from my high school days or online gaming.
Why most published research findings are false (2005)
The obvious and easy solution is to be US flagged.
I think we are still in the "universe orbits the Earth" stage of quantum physics.
By the time I work out, get home, cook dinner, eat dinner, clean, shower, it's like 8pm usually. No one around me is staying out past like 10pm on a weekday. Now I have the job of finding anyone who wants to hang out from 8pm to 10pm on a weekday when both/all of us are exhausted from a long day.

Doing the hard math and saying I have 6 hours is just theoretical. _Many_ people may socialize in the evenings, but I'd be surprised _most_ do.
It would eliminate the specific concern that a ship can't stop by PR on its way to another port.

It would make those restrictions more consistent between mainland and island US ports
It's a bit of a further tangent, but my understanding is that this has a particular weird impact on cruise ship destinations and related tourism cash/investments. Because cruise ships aren't exempt from the Jones Act either and are often foreign flagged (many cruise ship companies are nominally headquartered in the Bahamas and fly Bahamanian flags on their ships), they also have to make sure that they alternate ports in the way that meets the Jones Act. They can't go from Florida or New Orleans straight to Puerto Rico without stopping somewhere else first (and with US sanctions still "weird" with Cuba the obvious stop isn't generally possible either) or travel directly between Puerto Rico and the USVI without a stop somewhere in between (such as DR).

This seems silly for a number of reasons. I know a bit too much about it because a cruise charter group I go on cruises with has wished for certain itineraries to make logistics easier (PR has better concert logistics than most other islands, for instance, if you are trying to set up a single day concert in a park), but there are too few available PR routes for the sake of variety precisely because some of those routes that might be desirable are basically illegal under the Jones Act. It's not a showstopper in this group's case, but it is silly.
This is not private equity. Kroger is a publicly listed company, and so is Albertsons.

I suspect the reason for this is Albertsons is facing heavy competition from other grocery stores, their financials look terrible.

A lot of established grocery stores are getting upended at the lower end by Aldi/Lidl/Walmart/Target/Costco, and at the higher end by Whole Foods/Trader Joes/etc.

Kind of reflects income/wealth gap trends. You are either selling at the lowest prices, or you are selling at higher prices to a niche population on the rich side of town.

Edit: ignore this comment, I had wrong information.

It blends functional genomics with evolutionary developmental biology. Instead of trying to solve health problems just by looking at humans and mice, I integrate data from as many species as possible, including yeast and plants. With the right analysis, data from those species is quite predictive of human biology.
Yes we have stories from all over the world where people are using mobile to build real things. There is a kid in Egypt, for example, that built discord bots for a living on his phone.

Additionally there are also lots of cases were fairly well off folks with access to desktop computers and wifi that find themselves with a phone and want to prototype an idea or make a quick change to a project. I’ve been using it and I find it relaxing to lay back on the couch and do some fun coding. Especially with Ghostwriter (our Copilot-like thing: https://blog.replit.com/ai) it’s super usable. I built large part of my toy Lisp in Python in the app while in the park, waiting at the doctor’s office, or simply relaxing after a long day: https://replit.com/@amasad/Lisp-in-Python
Yeah, but again, not really a statistic, that's kind just how you feel.

Personally, I enjoy working in an office, as there is a very, very clear separation between my work and private lives. Yes, having a commute can suck most of the time, but hitting the store on my way home or going to the PO Box to get the mail makes it so that when I get home, I'm home, and done for the day.
8 hours at work, 8 sleeping, that's still 8 more left. I would be surprised if you took all of them to cook and clean.

Even with 4 hours of chores a day, that's still 4 hours to do whatever you want. Doesn't mean you spend them all that day, or all of them socializing. Maybe you use mondays to study, tuesdays you spend more time cleaning so wednesdays you can go out do something.

Also consider that if you strictly socialise in a work context, most of those relationships will grow distant relatively quickly when you or they leave for another company, which means it's harder to build long lasting friendships. Those can be really handy at times of transition in your life, which is where work friends usually fail first.

I’d love to see browser become true “user agents” — working on behalf of users.

I’d love them to block, ignore, combine, reformat or whatever the data spewed out by a server to provide the best possible view of the site for the users need.

I’ve been wondering about some kind of AI based reinterpretive browser that consumes the site (or perhaps even many sites matching a search) for you and emits different content depending on what you asked for.
In my city we have two Safeways, a Fred Meyer (Kroger), a QFC (Kroger) a Walmart Supercenter, a WinCo, a couple of other smaller grocers, and Costco. Before the Albertsons-Safeway merger we used to have a couple of Albertsons, and even a Haggen. Those are all gone now, not replaced by anything. There's another couple Safeways not far out of town, and another Fred Meyer as well.

With this kind of geography, we're likely to lose at least one Safeway (it's literally across the street from Freddy's), and possibly one or another of those not-too-far-away Freddy's and Safeways. It's not exactly going to create a food desert, but real choice will go way down. I already split my shopping between Fred Meyer and Walmart, mostly because of supply concerns between the two.
In the last couple years I've dropped our node_modules directory size down by half, and I'm still disgusted both with the state of it and how much work I put into accomplishing that.

The moral of too many of my stories is if something is bothering you, track it first before trying to fix it. Because it's easier to get other people to help police a graph than a series of unix commands. And for everyone else you'll get regressions when you're focused on some other priority. Data points like "sometime in the last month" are pretty hard to nail down on a large codebase, especially if it's not a monolith. Last Tuesday around noon is pretty specific.
To be fair to the workers, nine daycare age kids would likely frustrate even someone being paid Musk-sized salary. Kids are entirely unreasonable which can be exceedingly frustrating.

> You want to talk with people who speak that language

No, there's a good chance I can talk to those people in a common language, mostly English. I didn't say my explanation was valid for 100% of the cases, only that it's a bit like that for me and there's a chance other people feel the same.

"I want to talk to people" and "I want to talk to people in their native language when I visit their country" are related, not a complete match. And honestly, I think that borders on overanalyzing. I am sure I am learning languages because I have fun doing it, but I also have fun having mastered a certain level.

Isn't this entire problem addressed by having an 11" laptop?

I struggle to see what this is good for, besides solving LeetCode and/or other small, isolated, well defined puzzles on a small screen.
I'm bullish on this because mobile (and web) development is ridiculously overcomplicated to a beginner. I think it's a common misconception that coding/logic is difficult. I find the development setup and deployment to be much more complicated. As evidence, take a look at the impressive workarounds that citizen developers use to make things work in an easy environment like Excel.

A keyboard and mouse probably solve most of the complaints in this thread.

A similar trick that's nice is piping tar through ssh. Handy if you don't have rsync or something better around. Even handy for one file, since it preserves permissions, etc.

> It's basically been disproven at this point that simply lowering cost does not necessarily lead to better outcomes for the country. This was basically neo-liberal orthodoxy until the mid 2010s, by which point it was clear that lowering costs by offshoring labor had hollowed out the middle class in America. Money has a multiplyer effect. Each dollar spent is received by someone who then goes on to spend a part of that dollar and so on. So if you take dollars and send them elsewhere, that multiplyer effect is dampened. Things may be cheaper, but the economy is worse overall.

Literal gibberish.

What you are describing is a fiscal multiplier which is the change in national income via government spending, or a money multiplier from a central bank.

What actually happens in the scenario described is deadweight loss. Consumers spend more to obtain less goods. See figure 1.

> Raising children should be regarded as one of the most important things a woman can do because they’re the only ones that can do it.

This seems pretty reductionist to me. Men can absolutely raise children. Husbands in heterosexual couples should absolutely be raising their children and not leaving the entire task of raising them to their wives. Gay men can also raise children. I don't think you meant to be disrespectful, but when you essentialize like this you end up putting women in a box where their role in society is defined by their biology, and you put men in a box where they feel like they can't and shouldn't participate in certain kinds of labor, leading to women shouldering an unfair proportion.

An anecdote that helped this hit home for me was a story this father told about a neighbor of his. He'd be running errands at the grocery store or whatever, with his kids in tow, and he'd run into his neighbor (also a father) who'd say something like, "Oh, you're stuck babysitting again?" And he didn't have the words to tell him, "I'm not babysitting, I'm raising my kids." The neighbor viewed it as his wife's responsibility to be looking after the kids, and if he was participating in this, it was some sort of exception; and furthermore, a chore.

Personally, that's not the sort of father or husband I intend to be.
A more likely scenario is that we'd be supporting allies in those theaters, not fighting united continent-blocs. Either way, you can't fight across an ocean without lots and lots of cargo ships.

> If we're talking about US/European allies vs China - then European allies have the ships and capacity to build more.

Not necessarily enough capacity if you're losing tens of ships a month, and there's no guarantee those would remain intact, or that we'd even be on the same side. It's easy to assume stable, decent-enough, friendly governments will continue to be that way indefinitely, but they may not (for other actors, it's very much worth worrying whether the US will remain so, for instance)

> You have to give a concrete example where US would need to have a merchant fleet, where allies aren't willing to provide.

We literally have a real world example, which is far more valuable than made-up scenarios, that was arguably won primarily by US industrial capacity and the ships to direct that output to the right places, and it's still (barely, admittedly) within living memory. Among the most famous machines of that war is a class of merchant ship, for very good reason.

Unless we suppose that modern great-powers wars will be over so fast that shipping wouldn't have time to play a major role, or we think that anti-shipping weapons would be so effective and have such wide reach that no amount of shipping & protection could keep a meaningful proportion of a shipping fleet afloat for any useful length of time even if we started with a significant upper-hand overall—and I sure wouldn't want to bet on either of those things—it seems like that'd still be highly relevant in any major conflict in, at least, the near- to mid-term future.

The Earth is overpopulated, and also you're completely disregarding that women may not want to do the insanely hard work of growing, birthing, and raising a child in lieu of other work they find fulfilling and which could potentially have an overall greater impact on humanity. Speaking as someone who just had a baby 1 year ago - it's great and I love my little guy, but is it the most important thing I've ever done? Debatable.

My concern here isn't that the professional photo has higher quality (in this case it has, but give it some time - months or years - and maybe technology will catch up). It's that sometimes we already know the right color, while the AI must always guess

You believe your argument don't you? But how can you, when there is such an infinity of arguments you don't believe in?

This is word chopping, not an interesting philosophical argument. Truth is exclusionary, and the space of excluded hypotheses is at a minimum exponentially larger than the non-excluded ones, if not super-exponentially, if not some variety of simply infinitely larger, depending on how you count. Appealing to the size of the universe of false statements and/or "things you don't believe" is not meaningful.

The bubble test is not carried out at full pressure. That's the point: you find the leaks before blowing the engine up because you didn't spot a leak.

The tag-out system could, for example, use a pressure relief valve. I suspect they even have one already when running the test, but if someone was in the wrong space when the relief valve wasn't in place then I assume they're not using it as a tag point.

From 413: https://www.ocfs.ny.gov/programs/childcare/regulations/413-D...

In general it usually refers to a family taking on a few extra kids vs a schoolroom/office taking on kids. Requirements are usually different for the family care ones, not necessarily less.
