Not having kids I didn't realize how insane childcare costs had gotten. Someone posted an article to a local reddit that says people are pre-registering unborn children for childcare because there are so few slots available. Others responses indicated that it's running around $1500 to $2000/month for childcare. Add in housing costs and no wonder people are hesitant to have kids now.
That retort of yours is impressive: A) the validity of what I'm saying has no relation to upvotes/downvotes, and B) all my comments in this thread have a positive score regardless.

In any case, you haven't even attempted to show that any of the accusations I've brought up are baseless; we both agree that my re-telling of the facts is accurate (otherwise you would've contested it), you just choose an (in my opinion) unreasonably charitable interpretation.

Helmets are designed to protect riders from bike crashes, not from cars.

Dutch commuter bikes are slow and upright, and many have a low top tube and are thus very easy to hop off of— a 9-12 mph bike crash is not unlike slipping while jogging, whereas a 18-35 mph crash on a road bike is a lot more risky. Lower-speed cycling is enabled by Dutch land use which does not require many long-distance trips:

That's fair, and maybe my company just sucks at WFH, but it's not getting any better, so I think we need to go back to in person.
Thanks for posting this - that's been my general theory regarding a big portion of the labor shortage, but I didn't have much info to back this up.

If you are a mother making near minimum wage (which, these days, is around $15 in most major metros, regardless of what the actual law is), and you need to be on the job site for 8 hours/day, you're barely if even covering the cost of child care plus commuting and other job related costs. And as a tradeoff you get to have the stress of the job plus the joy of having someone else raise your kids. It just doesn't make sense.

Also, importantly, your Earned Income Tax Credit will be reduced if you make more money (not 1-1, but just another reason why working in a low paying job doesn't really make sense if you have children and a spouse/partner that can support your family).

There's a certain % of people who prefer WFH, a % who prefer WFO, and a % who want hybrid. The same person could change preferences over time as well.

People will sort themselves into the teams who share their preference over the next 5 years.

Just like how not everyone wants to work 100 hour weeks at an investment bank, but a certain group of people want to take that deal. You self select for it.

I think this debate gaining the fervor of a religious war stems from people not wanting to have to leave their current job to obtain their WFH / WFO preference? The re-shuffling will take a few years, but if you prefer something different than the pre-COVID status quo then you should be happy the shuffling is happening.

Thinking about it more, the WFO crowd grouping themselves only with people who actually want to be there is probably better for them too. The great re-shuffling benefits all! Don't go all Spanish Inquisition on those who don't share your work arrangement preference.
As a parent of, IMHO the first six months are when they need the most attention, not when they're the easiest. Infants desire constant affection, feeding, cleaning, and some never stop crying.

Once they can crawl it's off to the races. Basically anything can hold their attention for half an hour while you take a short meeting.

I've worked from home with two infants, then toddlers, and now kids. Infants were the hardest.
As in tailscale stopped working or headscale?
Actually there's a bit more to it than that. Coupling constants change as a function of their energy, they're called 'running coupling constants'. As a result of this phenomenon, there are domains where alpha_s is small and therefore a perturbative expansion of terms is possible. This happens at very high energies, so at the LHC we can happily calculate the higher order terms that you talk about and each successive term is a smaller contribution than the last.

Unfortunately, alpha_s is large at low energies, and by low I mean at the atomic and nuclear scale. There you are well and truly in the domain that perturbative QCD is impossible. The only option at that point is something called lattice QCD at the quark/gluon level.

Although I do think that elements of the Jones Act make sense to repeal (the shipbuilding aspects are an example of something that has really bad outcomes on the whole), I think there are also aspects that ought to be retained and enhanced.

It is true that foreign owned vessels can't move goods between US ports. These vessels sail under flags of convenience and are crewed by poorly treated Filipino sailors earning a pittance. Do we really want to move _more_ shipping to them?

It seems appropriate to me that cargo between US ports should be effectively regulated. I would hate for the outcome of a repeal to be yet more abusive labor practices.

Opera advertises like crazy on YouTube in videos that appeal to a younger crowd. A lot of paid promotion. I've seen it pop up several times when my kids are watching and they've asked me about it before.

Opera was sold to a Chinese group a while back - I believe not long after they switched to chromium. For some, that's enough reason not to use it. That group started branding Opera as a gaming browser that uses fewer resources. The original Opera developers started Vivaldi, which is very comfortable for users of the old Opera.

Sometimes I work in a factory (full of metal everything) that's a metal plated building with no signal repeaters inside, basically a faraday cage. U can get enormous signal boost by just opening doors trough the wall. Most places inside the building report low signal with no usable internet connectivity, but some special spots provide enough signal to get few KB/s trough both ways. I was always impressed by the amount of work needed to push few KBs of data to cell tower trough such conditions, given a phone is able to establish and hold a connection. With WiFi there would be no hopes of even holding a connection between two points inside the building 30+ meters apart.

Every audio engineer is also a musician. Every DAW has been developed by audio and software engineers who are also musicians[1]. Every professional musician understands the basic concepts of audio production. DAW UIs mimic the interfaces of real world devices, of which all musicians interact with on a regular basis.

Suggesting that musicians weren't meant to (and shouldn't even be allowed to) use DAWs is beyond nonsensical. This holier-than-thou argument you're trying to make is baseless.

We did all that, and are talking about what comes after.
I am curious how you measured your productivity. I do think that a weakness in the published data is that methodologically it's tough to measure productivity if work isn't done in clear, countable units, so only some kinds of work gets studied. And clearly teams struggle with picking the right metrics for themselves, carving tasks into the right sizes, etc.

This happened to someone I knew back in 2014 or so. We were hired together at C** Consulting and I was immediately shipped off to Dallas to help with an eCommerce program at a famous Watch & Accessory brand. My buddy from orientation in NJ kept in touch and was jealous I was on a project so quickly. He went back to his home and went into the C** office dutifully for the first month and just did training, enablement and finally surfed the web and got bored.

It seems his manager LEFT C** right as he joined. The ORG had not changed to reflect this status and my friend now reported to a ghost. He joked with me about it but was also baffled that such a large company could let this happen. His humor turned dark and he started to stay at home - do nothing - and collect his check.

Last I heard he applied to Ac** Consulting - got a role and started up with them... collecting two checks for a while until C** figured out what was up and reassigned him - he put in his 2 weeks notice at that time. :shrug emoji: True story.
I haven't tried any other colorizer tools but this one works very well for me. Thank you.
I can ask the question, so yes, they do.
There exists almost no US-other country shipping that is US flagged. The problem is that these foreign flagged vessels can pay slave wages to what are sometimes literal slaves, and we take advantage of it.

So yes, restricting the vessels that can use US ports even more will help US-flagged shipping.
The difference is that right-of-way laws for pedestrians and cyclists are actually enforced in Germany. The laws are generally similar elsewhere in the world, but as they are unenforced the larger, heavier vehicle de facto has right-of-way because the driver can easily kill a cyclist or pedestrian without meaningful consequence.
I wouldn't mind if it were the default once. But after I've saved to device (or box, dropbox, etc.) then it should default to the last location.
No, you can't decide that you can afford $10 million for concrete so that's what you'll spend. You figure out what it costs, then you figure out how much money you can make from the building, then you decide whether you can build it.dddd

> The war is ongoing. I have a couple of friends who share your mentality toward it, but perhaps it's better to be doubtful of the outcome and cautious about Russia's next steps.

And Russia lost it before it began. Nobody knows what exactly a "win" looks like for them today, but the perfect scenario for them, Ukraine folding and them installing a friendly refine is no longer possible. Even if Russia manages to win in the field with the poorly trained conscripts with museum pieces they're currently fielding, they don't have the manpower to keep the tens of millions of Ukrainian citizens that will survive under their control. And as we can all see, Ukrainians won't give up. So there is no scenario in which Russia wins. Nuking Ukraine gets them a nuclear wasteland, radiation probably impacting them, and obliterates any chance of relations and trade being restored to the status quo ante bellum with pretty much most of the world, so that's not a win.

Putin probably knows this (hopefully he hasn't become that dumb). Maybe he's stalling trying to think of a way to paint anything as a win.
Why does US "need" a 100% internally built, owned and operated merchant marine fleet?

Most of US is accessible via freight rail or road freight transport. Ships transport almost exclusively foreign made products, today.

That's the primary reason why the merchant fleet is wasting away - there's no demand for marine transportation between US ports, other than required by Jones Act.

I have 0 interest in building something that has little to no use in a free market.

I think tree-style tabs can be quite useful to those that care to utilize them, but I think the vertical nature is the much better selling point for most people, since its advantages are very easy to grok. I would like to see better integration of addons like it into firefox so it doesn't feel so hacky, though. It would also be nice to be able to toggle between horizontal tabs and vertical ones like in Edge, rather than having to edit css files to get rid of them like you have to in Firefox.

thanks for the feedback! it's made out of two models, one model creates a caption and the second model takes the caption and the black and white image and colorizes it. if you click on the edit button you can see the text that generated that colorization. if the text is incorrect, you can edit the text and recolorize it. this often leads to a better result, however, some cases are still hard, especially damaged photos.
My break was almost 5-6 months. It's not like I didn't do anything. I revamped my website, shipped a puzzle game, wrote articles. But I had months where I basically didn't do anything. And it was hard to climb out of the stretch of unproductivity. The main issue was that I didn't have any concrete goals. And while theoretically I could have done anything, my mind was digressing everywhere and ended up doing nothing.

It was a good experience for sure and would definitely do it again. But I would keep my goals concrete and ideally have one project to dedicate myself to.

> It's not true, a fundamentalist wouldn't budge on his dogma and would lack the intellectual curiosity. I'm interested in how things work, and I'm not married to my arguably subjective opinions.

But once again: from what source have you acquired your epistemically flawless and ontologically comprehensive knowledge of reality?

> My opinion is that the hard problem of consciousness is not so hard.

As the saying goes: "We're each entitled to our opinion, but not to our own facts" (I love that saying, it was very popular during Donald Trump's presidency, for obvious reasons).

But regardless, I'm under the impression that we're discussing reality itself, not our respective opinions of it. I hope I haven't made an incorrect presumption on that, because that would kind of nullify the conversation (since we're coming at it from two very fundamentally different perspectives).

> I think it's a form of magical thinking to even presume it, and there is an intuitive appeal to do that. The solution however is to not take your intuition at face value, and presume instead that you are an unreliable witness of your own consciousness.

Wait a minute though: how does it work such that certain presumptions are "magical thinking", and others are not?

Is there even a single source of Truth on such things (a single, authoritative, guaranteed correct classification algorithm)?

> I don't think you are a smart man to put it bluntly, but I think you like playing one. You keep creating word salads. I admire your confidence, but this wasn't an interesting debate.

Say what? Is there something in particular I said that caused you to form this belief? I can assure you, I am indeed extremely smart, and I suspect you are at least as smart as me (I'd even wager: much, much smarter, considering your encyclopedic-like knowledge), so surely there must be some sort of a misunderstanding.
That is already how it works. Transpacific eastbound ships typically call at LA/Long Beach, Oakland, and Seattle before returning to Asia. They just can't pick up cargo at any of those stops and then drop it off at another US port (they can and do pick it up and take it to Asia)

As a side note, all of the code is very pleasant to read. It's interesting that it's seemingly (almost) all hand-written, given that there are commented-out rules in the CSS, for example. I'm not sure what's going on with the HTML though, probably some custom generator.
Virtual pinball machines (like tables with screens instead of an actual play-field) have all this but they are still not the same.
This point gets ignored.

Even if everyone were to get pulled into their nearest local office tomorrow. And the majority probably do have a relatively nearby local office; I know relatively few people who moved remote during the pandemic.

And to add to your point, if half the people are more are going to be on Zoom anyway, I'd rather the people who could be in a conference room together just called in individually. A number of teams I work with have that as a rule.
