> We had two kids largely because my wife was resigned to her career already being destroyed, so why not?

<cough> there are also some men out here with (how can I put this nicely?) less-than-stellar-careers precisely because of this factor, too.

[We live in a perhaps-somewhat-less-than-entirely-enlightened part of Europe] and our local "Mum and Baby" group finally got round to renaming itself to "Parent and Baby" group after I started attending the third time around... :)
DevTools Tips: Discover and fix low contrast text
i wanted to respond to this comment, but it's dead: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33261300
so i'll write this here because it fits. i hope you'll notice it some day :-)

i fully agree. i had my kids late and i am almost fifty now. i am not regretting having kids so late, but i feel much better than i thought i would feel at that age. and that's what got me thinking that having kids earlier would mean we'd now be independent and, given the higher income would be able to do a lot more interesting things than i was able to earlier. again. i have no regrets, especially because i was able to travel and live in many different places before i got married, much more than the average person, which i would not have been able to do, had i married and gotten kids earlier. so it's a tradeoff, but it's something well worth considering. just make sure you have a partner that shares your motivations.
For me, the primary obstacle to my joining the Ordinariate is the requirement of absolute (rather than conditional) ordinations and confirmations for people coming over from Anglicanism. To me, submitting to that would be an implicit admission that I was effectively just “playing church” for all the years I’ve been a priest. It would be to acknowledge that the sacraments (baptism excepted) that I’ve administered to my people were in some sense a sham.

And yes, I’ve read Lumen Gentium, Ut Unum Sint, Unitatis Redintegratio, etc., so I know that the current position of the Vatican is somewhat more nuanced than it used to be w/r/t the grace operative among those ecclesial bodies deemed to be in “impaired communion” with Rome. There is an acknowledgement that grace (perhaps even salvific grace) is present in the sacramental acts of non-Roman and non-Orthodox churches, but it’s never really clarified what, exactly, that would mean from an ecumenical standpoint. Nonetheless, the situation doesn’t seem to have developed much since Apostolicae Curae: Anglican orders remain “absolutely null and utterly void” in the eyes of Rome. I think there are serious theological flaws with that bull, and those flaws are reified in the handling of Anglicans entering the Roman communion under the Ordinariate. It seems fundamentally anti-ecumenical. (And, I would note, there’s no reason why these ordinations couldn’t be conferred conditionally; there are at least a couple of examples of Anglicans priests—such as Fr. John Jay Hughes—who were so ordained.)

After much research and prayer, I remain convinced that my orders are valid, and I cannot in good conscience consent to the repetition of two sacraments of character (namely, confirmation and ordination). I don’t begrudge anyone who examines the case and arrives at a different conclusion, who feels that the imperative of full and visible unity outweighs the qualms that I have. The situation in the Church generally is such a mess these days that we all have to pray, think, and hope for the best.

So, that’s the major issue. Beyond that, I have some objections to a few of the papal claims. Plus, I’m not convinced there is much of a future for the Ordinariate. I’ll be surprised if it makes it a full generation before it disappears or is effectively suppressed, as the TLM communities have been. Maybe I’m wrong about that, and I sincerely hope I am, but I’ve gotten that sense from conversations with folks in the Ordinariate (including folks who are close to the hierarchy).
That's absolutely normal. It happens because of rounding.
> People learn how to appear to work, while not working.

This right here - when I didn't want to work I still didn't work, but I hid it in ways that ended up meaning it too me longer to get to a place I COULD be productive. I couldn't just disappear and recharge for a half hour.
What's really insane is that the actual people providing childcare get paid pretty horrendously given that they are the ones that are going to be taking care of your kid potentially 8 hours a day (and it is a really challenging job).

This also means that there is concerningly high variance in the quality of individual care providers, since it's a difficult job and pays awful you get the usual mix of "passionate about kids" and "I can't find any other work". Even the best facilities you have to be very observant to make sure your kid doesn't end up in a bad situation. I recall one care provider fondly telling me how much she loves riding her bike to work only to later find out she had her license taken away by repeated DUIs and another that fled the country after too many parents complained about situations that looked a lot like abuse.

Ultimately they're very much like nursing homes for small children. Very frustrating to pay so much only to have to remain vigilant that you don't pick up your kid only to find they've been sitting in some other kid's pee for an hour.
If entity A can create something(labor/product) cheaper (more efficiently) than entity B, then B can purchase that something for cheaper than what it would cost B to do/produce it. Now B has extra resources to devote to what B is efficient at creating and A purchases products that B is efficient at producing at less than what it would cost A. The net result is each entity has spent less time and resources for goods and services, and can use the savings (capital) to devote to future endeavors.

This basic idea scales up to the country level provided all the rules and regulations do not interfere. The problem with the shrinking status of the lower classes in the USA is not division of labor throughout the world. The imbalance of worldwide division of labor is primarily a symptom of disastrous monetary policy by the Federal Reserve bank and Congress and ill conceived regulations.
In addition to taking “in a few kids” they would also take on a great amount of liability and risk.

I’m a stay at home dad or at least I was until my son started pre-k a few months ago.

There’s no amount of money that would make me feel comfortable also taking care of someone else’s children in my home. Just not worth the trouble or the risk.
I agree. I believe that the infinite engineering prowess observed in the proton and so many other aspects of creation (Like the eye! Wow!) point directly to the existence of God.

But then again, I've never met anyone who became a believer through observing creation. Just as my confirmation bias leads me to see God in these stories, I imagine unbelievers tend to receive confirmation of the absence of God.
Are you sure you couldn’t find better benefit in reducing expenses? A second job is exchanging more of your time to add to an already high salary, which seems like it might take more effort than cutting a few extra expenses you might be spending.

Newton’s Third Law of Reputations
AdTech might care now. When a good technology exists to do this from the user agent side, the EU might force them to comply.

The EU likes standards to problems the market won't solve (see: mandatory USB-C), especially if the market has been given more than enough time to adapt.

I can see Mozilla starting an initiative for such a protocol, Apple falling in line because it doesn't extract ad money from its users (yet), and regulators responding. DNT is too crude a tool for tracking purposes, but I can see a popup with simple defaults and a P3P like protocol as something the EU might just force companies to comply with.
Childcare (specifically thinking of daycare) strikes me as a low-skill job, so labor volume should be fairly high -- excluding I guess things like extra-filtering for background. And as far as I can think of, there's no substantial upfront costs outside of the normal elements -- building, room setup, initial training, etc. It also strikes me as something that can be done with some scalability -- a decent sized group of children can presumably be supported by relatively few adults. At least proven by schools, which can have like a 1:16 - 1:24 teacher:child ratio.

So it seems strange to me that each child would cost ~$15/hr -- the full cost of a single low-skill resource, 1:1 with children; You're not seeing the scalability of groups kick in. Unless there's some overhead per-child I don't understand, it seems clear this isn't simply supply/demand. There are many who want childcare, but there are many more who should be capable of supporting it.

There are also of course difference in popularity/quality which will contribute to a price gradient, but if you're seeing $2k/mo/child as your "basic daycare" costs, there's something up -- there's no inherent reason to the job that I can think of that would stop someone from undercutting that price point.
>who were over-qualified for the jobs they had taken to WFH

What's missing to link those women to matching jobs? There must also be many new mothers who would like to work but who haven't found a WFH job.
Agreed. Currently I am on a 3-month sabbatical after being laid off from my previous position of 7 years. While I could have opted for a longer duration, I’ve been happy with the time off thus far, and my efforts of saving and investing over the years has made finances a non-issue during this time.

I also set up my next gig in the weeks immediately following layoffs, which I’ll be starting in November, so I’m excited to know that there’s financial security at the end of this experience.

It’s been a much needed break.
Is Zuckerburg the founder of Instagram? The company went from 13 employees and 30 million users to 450 employees and 2 billion users. 98.5% of users came after the purchase, but I still don't think most people would call him the founder.

The GP makes sense, your comment makes no sense.
Thank you, that is super help. I will review this in detail and see what I can do!
You mean the AirPods?

I paired my AirPods to my phone and they were automatically paired to my Watch, iPad, Mac, and two AppleTVs.

When I put the AirPods in my ear, whether I am on my Mac, iPad or iPhone, sound is automatically redirected.

If I am on my iPad watching a video, and I take a call or start watching something on my phone, the AirPods automatically switch to my phone and the video pauses on my iPad.

When I walk out the house for a run with just my cellular Apple Watch, I start listening to music on my Watch and it switches.

Switching isn’t automatic for an AppleTV since that would be irritating for a shared device. But it will display a pop up and ask do you want to switch.

General laws, requiring that business conducted in US is conducted with residency laws taken into account is not the same as everything listed in Jone's Act.
It's no good for a table. But you should be able to fold the case back and carry the tablet as a tablet without leaving parts behind. It's a tablet, at the end of the day, not a laptop.

I hate this about the galaxy s tablet cases. They expect you to take the whole keyboard off. It should always fold back flat.

I think they're saying that the two biggest US carriers didn't want to interoperate.

Which is insane. An SMS replacement where Verizon and AT&T users cannot message each other is insane.

Except in NYC/Brooklyn, the crime rate and filth are both high. Not to mention the rude behavior that takes over anyone who spent more than a year there.

Berlin’s Berghain club rumoured to be closing down
At the moment yes, also in 2027, but China targets the 2049 for the reunification. And in 2049 USA and Japan will build their own chips inside the USA and Japan (read ‘reshoring’), TMSC fabric in Taiwan will be less important than now. And I suspect the support of Taiwan will slightly decrease over the years.
Came here to ask about this. Using it on a phone seems great for learning, toy projects, and maybe quick fixes, but I think you need more space to do sustained development. Having this on an iPad with a keyboard would be exciting.
It's both?

This is America, where muscular middlemen squeeze out the middle class so that capital flows to the top.

Margin for producers? Not gonna happen.

And for consumers? raise prices and lower portion sizes until profits start to decline.

Rent-seeking is the American dream
> Oh, it's great if you want to do 4/4 dance music centered around samples but for all other purposes it is incredibly painful.

A good friend of mine uses Live heavily for creating music -- definitely not 4/4 dance music: https://album.link/i/1627338395 . He's mainly using acoustic recordings as samples though, so it sounds like your specific use case works better in other DAWs. I've never played with Reaper, sounds interesting!
Speaking as someone living in Berlin:

> Berlin is a fun city full of things to do, places to eat, and clubs.

And I already have my friends outside of work to go do these things, or to go to the bar, or check out the restaurant.

> we don't like talking to people.

No, more likely it's just that I don´t want to hang out with you.

Let me explain. Berlin might be a place of diversity, but it's not really heterogeneous. The majority of people that came here for "the tech scene" are hardly interested in integrating. It's been almost 10 years since I moved here and I'm yet to find a company where there is a strong push to get people to speak German or even be involved in any aspect of the local culture.

Everyone will work together and will have no problem sharing the environment when needed, but very few people will actually feel like they want to hang out with their co-workers if they have other people in their circle. What happens at the end of the day is that most people just end up getting close to those who have some degree of affinity. British people will hang out with most British people. The same for Southern Europeans, Eastern Europeans, etc...
Awesome Artem! I will be reaching out about this. I have seen newscatcher before, looks like a solid option!
The ratio is part of the reason we pulled our son from daycare so early and kept him at home until he was the proper age for pre-k.

In his daycare class there was one adult looking after up to 9 children. One adult that didn’t earn a living wage and didn’t have any kind of benefits. There is no way a reasonable person could possibly trust that adult to be both content and provide a decent quality of care.

The adults in the room were always visibly angry and frustrated and a reasonable person could not blame them.
In many (most?) languages chaining leads to longer lines unless programmer makes an extra effor to break them. Compare:

EDIT: I know, I'm sorry. I couldn't help it.
I agree statistics doesn't say much for individuals because anyone could be an outlier, but as the numbers approach 70-80 percent, it's hard to deny the difference is real. i also agree the cheating statistics might not reflect real underlying differences but that does not extrapolate to all difference between males and females. We can do something similar with age. Older people are more likely to have some health issue i.e. high blood pressure, but it doesn't mean that much for individuals, since there are plenty of very healthy elderly people yet the statistic is definitely reflecting a real difference between young and old. In other words, generalization may never be absolute but it doesn't mean the groups being surveyd/tested are the same.

When it comes to males and females, the definition of each phenotype is in the genes/DNA. These instructions produce everything that produces a man or a woman. These blueprints are distinct from each other even though there is certainly overlap, and they can be categorized by the features they produce. It's certainly not a sharp dividing line, but the categories are distinct despite overlapping and having fuzzy borders.
Yeah, not too many people write a back end these days.
It actually wasn't Amazon links, but links to sites partnered with brave, like binance and Coinbase. They didn't seem to know about it ahead of time.
What's that link supposed to show? The quote at the top is about a theoretical version of the ads that I'm pretty sure never happened.

The ads go in the browser if you decide to turn them on. You can also turn off the ad blocker and have both, if you so desire.

I'm pretty sure having new tab ads and push notification ads does not leech off websites.

Ad blocking by itself is arguably leeching, but that's clearly not your argument if you suggest using other ad blockers.
We like to believe ourselves capable of anything if we just tried. If we never try, we die thinking we may have squandered our potential. If we give ourselves space to try and succeed, we die knowing what was on the other side of trying. If we give ourselves space to try and we fail, we die knowing there wasn’t any potential to squander.
'Why don't all the poor people have more money? I have plenty of money, I just don't understand why there are so many poor people.'

I love going to my office, but frankly most people's jobs suck and their office environment sucks. Or, to put it another way, has no inherent advantage from a pure productivity perspective than a well-stocked home office assuming you are doing office work.
Ah, I see where your number comes from. However, those deviations should happen in both senses (adding and subtracting)? But thanks for the computations!
I'll try to summarize my process:
I've been working as a freelance full stack dev for around 12 years now. 2 years ago I hit a point where I couldn't work anymore. I just had such a strong aversion to the job, it almost felt like pain to sit down and just look at code. It was really bad for around a month where I barely worked and really struggled with clients and earning money. I then had a mushroom trip where i completely broke down. The idea that I've built my whole life around this career that just deals with "virtual stuff" and doesn't really add any value to peoples lifes made me panic. I had no plan B. Somehow I managed to really go into these feelings of despair and had a strong emotional release. I woke up the next day with a new strength to change things. Since then I've simplified my job a lot and had many very fortunate opportunities. I'm running my own very minimal one-guy saas business now that came out of an old project. I work maybe 2 hours per day and get by well. Everything seemed to just magically come together as a result of this psilocybin experience (and a couple more after that). Not recommending this approach, but it worked for me.

I wouldn't say I've rediscovered my love for coding, but I have periods where I do enjoy it again (if I limit the time I spend in front of the screen and balance it with other activities). Also what was important was to really focus on simplfiying my own life and also achieving that through my work/product for others. You could say the crisis helped me to shift my intention regarding my purpose and to really appreciate simplicity.
I like how the author of this piece included this early on when they point out the three markets affected by the proposed merger:

- The producers

- The consumers

- The employees

It's easy to picture consumers being squeezed the least by this, but maybe not.
Foreign product tariffs prevent nothing of what you just listed. Complete baseless boogeyman argument
Can you summarize the approach you took on creating the model? Really curious!
This seems novel, but I’m turned off by there being no pricing page.
If this supported tons of payment gateways through their plugin system out of the box then it would be worth considering. But if you go to the page about payment gateways they don't have a listing of 50 integrations you could easily drop in. Instead they basically say you'll probably have to write the integration yourself:

https://docs.killbill.io/latest/userguide_payment.html

No thanks - I'll just use a payment processor that has a good API for subscription billing, and a flag on my users table that the subscription is up to date.
not gonna lie, getting to have a mid-day 'nap' with my GF while we WFH together is pretty great, I can see how it can lead to this
Why are you assuming a job that is presumably low skill has a high supply of people willing to sell their time to perform that low skill job?

> Unless there's some overhead per-child I don't understand

I would start with liability costs, it must be massive for a professional daycare facility given how emotionally invested people are with their kids. Next would be redundancy of employees. Babies and toddlers transmit tons of germs, and so the adults around them would get sick too. Plus legally mandated ratios means there has to be adequate coverage for vacations, sick days, emergencies, turn over, etc.

And the population of working age people continues to decline, so I would not associate low skill with high supply of labor. I have never heard anyone tell their child to aspire to become a daycare employee.

I also would not describe managing multiple babies and toddlers properly as low skill, or at least not low effort. It seems to be very strenuous, and I do not think I could do it.
How much did you forget in that time span? Did you have to relearn a bunch, and did it come back faster the second time?

I feel like I forget so much about programming on a daily basis that I would probably have to re-earn a CS degree if I took 3 months off lol.
Lack of participation in DMARC by default certainly isn't helping. Not sending those reports makes all those exchange servers invisible during your DMARC deployment process, which makes deploying DMARC harder if you're on exchange, which makes it easier for people to impersonate your domain.

Stripe indeed helped me migrate away to a vendor in a foreign country - they did a one-time encryption of all the raw credit card numbers for my new processor to import.

The trouble was finding a processor that actually knew what it meant to import the raw credit card numbers (because stripe wouldn't send it to me). But I found one and it all worked out.
There is no double negative; "does not" is the only negative in the statement. "Disproven" is not a grammatical negative.
