Legislation has nothing to do with it. Staffing ratio minimums are 6:1 in California, which means $2000/child can get you pretty far.

The costs are the same as any other service industry - you have to pay more for higher quality teachers and you have to pay more for a location in more expensive areas.
that's what i like about montessori schools. there, classes are grouped over a three year age span, and older kids often teach younger ones what they already learned. that's more similar to the experience of eg. a junior developer joining a company and getting shown the ropes by a more experienced developer.

btw: montessori teaches a lot of independent learning and is therefore effectively a lot less labor intensive. a single teacher can devote a lot more time to individual students because there is less need to supervise the rest of the class, because each child is busy with they own learning projects

>the act works enough

Does it though, or is this a false sense of security? Regardless of the Jones Act the Navy is paying to modernize shipyards [0]. Meanwhile the small shipping industry propped up by the Jones Act seems to severely outdated, they were using steamships well past when the rest of the world stopped using them and manage to get away with more corruption due to lack of competition [1]. Maybe just drop the act, and have the Navy responsible for shipyards directly & ongoing, or something rather than hope a bunch of old fashioned, inefficient shipyards will be sufficient when we need them most?

I have my e-mail address as a text replacement. It works ... about 1/10 of the time. The Apple keyboard didn't show text replacements when it wanted to suggest a password. (Not sure if that's still true). The google keyboard is just flaky about using the replacements. I'm usually stuck manually typing through it and fighting autocorrect, sometimes without the benefit of autocorrect suggestions.

Meanwhile, I had to delete the omw replacement which, 100% of the time, replaced with the overly enthusiastic "On my way!".
Pay people more, hire more employees. The market will decide which businesses remain viable. I am honestly hopeful demand for places like restaurants decreases or the market becomes less viable because of the labor shortage, simply because that industry has mistreated its employees for so long and many have moved on the bigger and better things for themselves.

I suppose the root of your confusion is in meaning of words.

With quantum mechanics there are no “real” particles to think about in terms of everyday life.

They all are just mathematical abstractions that help build models predicting the behavior of systems.

Nothing is really composed or decomposed in our everyday meaning. It’s just there are no better words to speak about such abstract concepts.

Ask HN: How did Microsoft email services became the primary source for spam?
Just did monthly spam folder sweep. Sometimes legit emails end up in spam, so I regularly make sure that something important was not lost amongst trash. Looking at sender details I noticed that 99% of spam emails are now coming from Microsoft email services, like Outlook and Hotmail. What happened? Did other email providers improve security? Is there some security hole in Microsoft services, that allows easy registration for throwaway email accounts? I'm interested from purely technical aspect what might shifted most spam to MS services?

And most important question: is Microsoft going to do something about it, as service abuse reports seem to make no difference.
> I don't understand why people on this board keep forgetting that central Europe and the US is the minority of the world population.

Did you mean to reply to a different comment? Mine was a reply to the GP, to answer the very narrow questions he asked about the US.
Puerto Rico currently benefits from massive federal grants and subsidies, while having a power structure/leadership that doesn’t have to report/be accountable to the US gov’t in certain ways, and doesn’t have the same taxation. For instance, most Puerto Rico residents don’t need to pay federal income taxes.

It leads to some interesting incentives for folks there, especially in gov’t, if they know how to poke certain populist buttons.

The voting demographics also favor one party over the other, if one cares to look, and if admitted as a state may cause swings and imbalances in the current two-party detente. This is similar to Washington D.C.

The current balance has a lot of defacto non-obvious benefits for politicians that their constituents might not appreciate if they fully knew about them.

It's pretty simple. PR isn't a major market, that means that delivering goods from US to PR isn't valuable enough to have economies of scale to kick in.

Add to that that most freight in The Lower 48 is ground(rail and road) - there's little demand for all American merchant fleet.

Low demand for services = low demand for new ships = older inefficient ships = high maintenance costs = lower profit or high prices = small markets get screwed (PR, Guam, Hawaii, etc)

Implicit judgment? Remarkably condescending? It's a statement of fact that many WFH advocates are paycheck-grabbers who want to extend the least effort for the most pay.

Maybe the worst part about WFH is the increased tendency to cherry pick a line of text and derail the main topic. All because feelings of being judged personally, possibly by a sub-optimal word choice of the sender. It's almost like we are being forced to debate semantics instead of substance with attitudes like that.

Your vocabulary reveals your opinion more than anything else, but to be clear: how law enforcement works is exactly how it is working. A search warrant was executed as part of a criminal investigation, and while the target of that warrant wants to call it a "raid" and suggest it was somehow improper, all indications are that the investigation is underway and is moving at a pace appropriate to the level of charges.

I mean, complaints in this very thread are that "we have a right to know" after six months, it should surprise nobody that we don't, actually, until charges are filed, and that six months isn't a long time when investigating complicated cases.

The FBI does have a storied history, but in this case there have been many checks along the way, including judges appointed by and requested by the target of the investigation, so it's hard to see how this might line up with previous incidents involving Black activists.

Money.

Asking people to work from home was a significant raise for many people. All of the sudden, commute costs vanished, and people often gained another hour or more they could work.

It was also a huge savings for companies that could stop paying rent and other office costs (as mine did).

You want all the employees, and the company, to pay a massive tax so you can socialize and enjoy work more. You shouldn't be surprised there is resistance to this idea.

I don't want to live downtown! I want separation between my neighbors so I don't have to hear them, and so they don't have to hear me. I lived in apartments for nearly 15 years... never again.

We also have the cost of housing. I can't afford to live anywhere close to the places that tech places typically pick, and they like picking downtown because it's cool, hip, and trendy. Thanks to investors, people moving from the west coast to my city, and the significant lack of affordable housing being built, I had to move even further away from downtown to afford a house.

Baby booms have previously been positively correlated with blackouts, snowstorms, hurricanes and power outages. Now, remote work is a covariate as well. We're heading into a prolonged 2023 recession, coupled with job cuts, energy shortage, remote work as cost-cutting recipe and climate-related catastrophes inducing major downtime => huge baby boom in 2024.
> Then there are people who work mainly to get paid and do not care to invest themselves beyond what is necessary.

This was a stand-alone comment, separated from the comment about those that don't like to commute or socialize. I don't think they were implying that one means the other. That's how I read it anyway.

BTW as someone that works to get paid and does not care about investing myself beyond what is necessary, I wasn't offended by that remark and I don't think OP meant it in an offensive way. To me it comes off as accepting it as a valid reason for not wanting to come in.

Web browsers are antiquated technology. IMO the original web UX is dying. I’m sharing data through private K8s + Kilo clusters. There is nothing “open” about a web of VC backed user interfaces and FAANG own private DCs.

Open ML generated content is going to do to digital media markets what open Linux did to Windows and MacOS; suck the profit out. I’m here for it and the evolution away from the web as we knew it.
The arguments I've seen are:

a) you would get more competition / lower prices on trade routes from the US to PR.
b) foreign flagged vessels could stop in PR on their way to the US, drop off PR goods, and load PR manufactured goods.

It's hard to argue that those possibilities wouldn't have _some_ impact on CoL... but they wouldn't change the bigger reality that PR is an island that doesn't have any natural resources, imports 85% of its food, and is a second class entity within the country it belongs to.

A disproven orthodoxy can still reign supreme. Take the Catholic Church post-enlightenment to the mid 20th-century for example. Just because an orthodoxy fails and falters doesn't mean that it will fade away. There isn't an equivalent of atheism for economics - there are no "aneoliberals" or "aeconomicists".

Anyone who declared themselves "aeconomicist" would be ridiculed. That reaction should give anyone pause though. Ridicule is a powerful reality-maintenance mechanism. Economics is an extremely powerful reality-creating assemblage. Attempts beyond descriptive are met with intense skepticism and cynicism. Even here, in purported a bastion of competing ideas, normative economics are routinely lambasted.

The most common reality-maintenance mechanism is the reflexive "come up with a better idea then" response. It serves as a means of shutting down all discourse which ends up being antithetical and ultimately hypocritical to the mingling of ideas and curious questioning we claim to adhere to. The end result is implicit support for the status quo. Even if that isn't what is typically intended, it is functionally equivalent.
It's not the kind of thing you ask a stranger at most parties. It's a challenge and who goes to a party to be challenged, and who does not know that?

It's not like the idle "So what do you do?" which can be an intentional challenge but usually is idle and innocent.

It's rude and almost certainly caused by self-absorption and self-importance as they said.

Any conversation could randomly wander onto a topic where the question becomes topical, so it's not that the question can never be asked legitimately at a party, but it's not normal.
I am just guessing, but O365 I cant remember its new name has been used by many businesses and I would expect the spammers are counting on business IT folks being lazy and just whitelisting o365's domains rather than custom per-company domain endpoints from O365. Meaning, sending from popular providers such as O365 or gmail is more likely to be whitelisted than one-off email provider domains. But I am just guessing.

Another possibility could be that receivers of email from O365 may not see an easy way to report the spam to Microsoft or perhaps Microsoft do not have enough folks dedicated to dealing with UCE/malware reports. Just my own experience, but when talking to Microsoft about this topic they would refer me to a partner Proofpoint which a former company ended up using to front-end O365. That left me with the impression they did not want to be in the business of dealing with UCE/malware reports and wanted to either automate it or outsource to a partner.
I got to being about 25% as productive in Forth as in C once I learned to stop trying to use the stack for local variables. Maybe with enough practice I might get to being as productive as in C, or even more so. I doubt I'd get to being as productive as in Python, which I think is about 3× as productive as C for me.

I think that if I were, say, trying to get some piece of buggy hardware working, so that most of the complexity of my system was poking various I/O ports and memory locations to see what happened, Forth would already be more productive than C for me. Similar to what Yossi Kreinin said about Tcl:

https://yosefk.com/blog/i-cant-believe-im-praising-tcl.html

Tcl is also good for that kind of thing, but Tcl is 1.2 megabytes, and Forth is 4 kilobytes. You can run Forth on computers that are two orders of magnitude too small for Tcl.

So I think we shouldn't evaluate Forth as a programming language. We should think of it as an embedded operating system. It has a command prompt, multitasking, virtual memory, an inspector for variables (and arbitrary memory locations), and a sort of debugger: at any time, at the command prompt, you can type the name of any line of code to execute it and see what the effect is, so you can sort of step through a program by typing the names of its lines in order. Like Tcl and bash, you can also program in its command-prompt language, and in fact build quite big systems that way, but the language isn't really its strength.

But there is an awful lot of software out there that doesn't really need much complicated logic: some data, some transformations, and maybe some API calls to make to some motors or sensors (or an application and a database). So it doesn't really matter if you're using a weak language like Tcl or Forth because the program logic isn't the hard part of what you're doing.

And it's in that spirit that Frank Sergeant's "three instruction Forth" isn't a programming language at all; it's a 66-byte monitor program that gives you PEEK, POKE, and CALL.

https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~bolo/shipyard/3ins4th.html

On the other hand, if the computer you're programming has megabytes of RAM rather than kilobytes, and megabits of bandwidth to your face rather than kilobits, you can probably do better than Forth. You can get more powerful forms of what Rusher is calling "liveness" than Forth's interactive procedure definition and testing at the command prompt and textual inspection of variables and other memory locations on demand; you can plot metrics over time and record performance traces for later evaluation. You can afford infix syntax, array bounds checking (at least most of the time), and dynamic type checking.

I got severe side effects from Pfizer vaccine and so did my spouse. We still didn't fully recover more than year later. We got vaccinated at the same Costco on the same day. I did it because of pressure from work as I had covid before. I didn't expect any health benefits, but I didn't expect year later I still have regrets to fall into trap.
Even if subsidized, if there aren't providers it doesn't actually fix the problem. Here in WA we have the Fair Start act to provide subsidies, but where it gets weird now is... does government step in and also start state-funded care facilities to cover the gap? Or does government create incentives to bring more private care providers into the market? As you point out, there's also a question of whether we've created a kind of rent-seeking if only corporate entities can meet the regulatory standard rather than the bad old days when essentially any stay-at-home mom could take in a few kids.
