Non affordable housing and day care are part of the problem. Delaying childbirth and not realizing that this delay may lead to fertility problems is also an issue. But there does appear to also be rising infertility as well at the same time and lots of chemicals that disrupt hormones (the latest target for legislation is PFAS/forever chemicals) and dropping sex hormone levels.

I am not saying that things are not multi factor but that to dismiss hormones going weird as just nothing to worry about is not correct.
That's why I qualified it smarty pants.
It’s sort of like a mathematical proof. If I say there are only 7 barker codes, all you need to do is find the 8th to prove me wrong.

If I say testosterone levels cause men to be more assertive, here is an example where that is not the case.
Ask HN: The Dichotomy of Content?
I don't get it!

Exhibit A: the quantity of content is the highest we've ever had.

Exhibit B: the availability of the content at Exhibit A has never been easier.

Exhibit C: Google, Facebook & Co. know so much about each one of us.

So, what I am struggling to find content relevant to me? Be it video, audio, long read, short read?

I find myself juggling between HN, Reddit, Digg, and google searches, while 1 of this big-brother-like services should be able to serve me a curated list of consumable media highly targeted to me.

I'd be willing to self-survey my own preferences to make it happen.

Is this the nest Trillion dollar idea?
> As a well funded VC, I'd expect due diligence beyond the level of 'let me see your balance sheet' before investing millions of dollars.

Yes. At the time it was not hard to find people who did have expertise in the relevant fields expressing skepticism. It definitely wouldn’t have been hard to kick $50k in consulting work to some postdoc to act as your advisor when the investment is orders of magnitude greater.
FTX pretended to be that but they were based in the Bahamas.

Also Kraken has verifiable proof of reserves.

Kraken and FTX/Binance are essentially not even in the same business (Binance is almost certainly quasi criminal or dodgy if not worse).
We tried to do passive radar for detecting high energy cosmic rays in 2009 (GNU Radio/USRP) that turned into passive-ish when the team brought a 20kW Harris NTSC Ch 2 (52Mhz) transmitter we decommissioned as part of the move to ATSC.

We had a hard time with cosmic rays (relativistic doppler is fun), but meteors, planes, and lightning strikes were common sources of unwelcome signal.
Spain is IMHO the most American country of Europe, and lots about this happened 20 years ago.
I do not see how you can possibly interpret a fine for not voting as a "poll tax". Especially since the jurisprudence on banning them is specifically aligned with ensuring people have access to voting.

This year: I built a site to republish mug shots for my county. The county site was really bad.

I built a CLI script to check the weather in some ways that I care about. I would use Alexa, but she can't answer questions like "when is the next rain forecasted?" I want rain/freeze alerts eventually. Basically just to help me plan to have things winterized and put up.

I'm building an app that I will use personally, but that I can also make a SaaS. It's sort of like a time-tracker, but for professionals in a specific industry. It helps them track time but also other metrics. I'm sorry to be vague, but I think I have an advantage with the stealth at this point.

In the past:

I built a program to help buy things from Amazon's return section.

I built a program to monitor the "free" section of craigslist.

I built a program to determine the bad poker players and sit at their tables.

I built a program that enables all the above programs to send alerts to my phone.

(I built dozens, maybe hundreds, of other programs, some smaller, some larger, over the last 20 years. I have a wasteland of old git repos and shell scripts.)

Non-computer:
I have 40 acres with a small homestead on it, and so there's a bajillion projects. Most recently I built a ladder to access loft areas in a building, with wood.

I installed and just had to maintain an underground dog fence. If I don't, the dogs run off sometimes, and I want to keep them safe at home. The peace of mind I get from this is probably worth 4-5 hours a week, but it's only cost me about 10 hours in 7 years. It wouldn't have cost me really any time, except the road grader keeps breaking my wire.

I restored a Singer model 128 treadle sewing machine that I intend to build a tipi with. I don't need a tipi, but I want to experience one.

I built a deer fly trap. It didn't go well, so I need to build v2. But I am driven by an intense hatred for deer flies, so I will persevere.

I built a tool that wraps wire tightly around things as a way to secure them. I use it mostly to secure tool handles from splitting, but I keep finding new spots to use it.

In my experience, if you decide "I will build what I need when it makes sense," you start evaluating all of your ecosystem. I usually focus on what sucks, and make it way better. That's an easy way.

It's much harder to imagine what you would like to have, or like to be doing. If you do that, start small and see how it goes.
There was indeed a calendar change just 4 years after the 1748 almanac you were reading. In 1752 the American colonies switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. That leaped 11 days ahead.

You and Popper have very different notion of "intolerance". By intolerance here Popper means something which threatens open society and freedom of expressions, not "any opinions I don't like" (and if you read literally next few sentences you'll see Popper clarify that we should oppose ideologies which reject dialogue and propose violence instead, not any opinions you don't like). Your definition is in line with what Popper would see as fascist trait.
This is not true over the lifespan of the loan (especially in the US market where interest rates are set for the whole period but can be easily refinanced), although it is possibly true in the immediate term around house purchase. In the immediate term it depends how the affordability of the downpayment changes relative to the affordability of the payments for the individual buyer. in the longer term it depends where interest rates are likely to go. Given they are now relatively balanced vs history it's tougher to say but as we raise interest rates further to combat inflation the likelihood interest rates will go down and the buyer will be able to renegotiate later become very likely.
It’s more done for sport. A low power beacon is purposely hidden somewhere and teams try to find it first.
Oxidation is not bad. It is essential and necessary process, and it's important to keep oxidants and antioxidants in balance. High amounts of NAD+ will throw off that balance. Since molecular and cellular things can be hard to correlate, you can see large-scald examples of how increasing oxidation is even beneficial in some cases, by searching for things like post-operative scar-tissue reduction from applying strong oxidizers like hypochlorous acid.
That's what I came here to say as well, this simply can't be right.

Apparently these numbers come from a self-reported survey, so either the questioning was vague/confusing, people are not reporting the truth for whatever reason, OR... we're gonna see one hell of a drop in birthrates in the next couple of years.
I’d point out every culture has promoting their local culture abroad. I’d point to the Goethe-Institut as a specific and well known example.

Halloween is just a lot of fun. No one can avoid fun from spreading. American style Christmas is also a heck of a lot more fun than traditional European style. In Thailand, one of the most non-Christian countries out there, during Christmas there are American Christmas themes everywhere with music and green and red and people who are born Buddhists exchanging gifts on Christmas morning.

American culture is broadly appealing because it’s generally appealing to human beings that are individuals, and mixes in materialism and consumerism and a little bit of greed and violence. It’s not an insidious plot - it’s an outgrowth of liberal humanism and specifically 1960’s philosophy packaged for resale in the 1980’s and marketed aggressively internationally in the 1990+‘s. Mix in the fact American culture was created by mixing cultures from around the world, the fact that most middle class in the global society at least know someone who moved to America and comes back bringing the culture on visits, it’s totally unsurprising it has broad influence and appeal. And since the influence and appeal translates into expanded consumer markets American companies relentlessly market and make available to consume everything American.

But I’d also note in my travels I’ve not observed the export being specifically one way or crushing. I’ve seen elements of every culture I’ve experienced mixed into American culture as I’m used to it as an American. I see Japan, China, Korea, Germany, France, Mexico, Africa, even Polynesia influence. Likewise in those places their adoption of American culture is distinctly an interpretation based in their local culture.

This is in contrast to say French colonialism in modern Polynesia where the schools only teach French language and history and have traditionally proscribed Polynesian tattooing in school and work institutions.

The flexibility and adaptability of American culture to local cultural interpretation and lack of “force” make it an easy to consume culture without pervasive resentment.
Yeah the app looked like it was delegating to another service and needed a bearer token for that. The app logs should have showed this straight away. Furthermore, I’ve been burned enough to know that if I have a service that’s dependent on other services then I setup tasks in my service to ping the health of those services periodically and log warnings/errors if they’re unreachable. This allows me to divert blame as quickly as possible if alerted in the middle of the night.
There are lots of solutions that are more seamless than the DSLR, but which are vastly more expensive, including just buying a webcam proper. But the fact that you _can_ use the DSLR as your webcam is cool, and may save some folks money if they happen to have a DSLR laying around.

Every non-FOSS piece of software I've ever deployed slowly degrades over time as founders get greedy or need to recoup costs from investors. Plex is the canonical example. Linux is the canonical counterexample.

Sorry, I've been burned enough times by this now that if your software is not FOSS, I'm not deploying it. Your take is not a good look.

This is why I only squat and deadlift (each only once/week), then do pushups, pullups and situps. More of my time is spent running at the gym than any kind of lifting. I just want broad-range exercises that improve my health, I don't care about looking a specific way.
What does it mean here that “the shareholders will take a hit?” Do the shareholders normally receive some regular payments that would stop (or be reduced) in that situation?

> she is an “instant expert”

Anyone can have an opinion on anything and make it to the HN frontpage. The fact that she is well versed in scientific literature and method make her assessments a tad more interesting than average IMO. A hallmark of her videos is presenting conflicting research results, separating the knowns from the unknowns and then drawing conclusions that she finds plausible, sometimes with some gusto. Generally (not always) I find myself agreeing.

In this case however I agree she skips over the main problem a bit too easily, which to me is the ever increasing abundance of hormone-disrupting chemicals in the environment, some of which we are aware of like PFAS, many of which we have likely yet to discover the adverse effects of.
I'm excited to try this. I've done the same dance with PM tools over the years and had similar experiences to OP. I've always ended up back on Teamwork which is amazing but they do a hard sell and the price per head is prohibitive for people in my situation (2 person agency, no interest in "10 seat pricing"). Will be good to check it out!
Streaming music is a bad product to base your entire business on period. It’s the classic “DropBox problem”. It’s feature not a product.

The music industry will always get 70% of revenue for streaming music. The video streaming services for the most part negotiate a fixed cost license and then as they grew, they could theoretically spread the cost.
Isn't the alternative might makes right; where the strong can force the weak to give 100% of their income?
These are all good points. Thanks for replying.

That wasn't the case here. The vaccine was available to everyone and the hospitals were overflowing with people who refused to get it.
Other people can have different ideas about what is morally correct, and it isn't some barbaric idea that an unborn person should not be allowed to be killed. You may not agree with it with your moral calculus, but it shouldn't be unreasonable to see someone else's perspective.

This is a really succinct point about the quote. You can oppose abortion whether it’s legal or not. I think it’s perfectly acceptable to live in a state like New York and oppose abortion whiles it legal just as you can live in other states where it is illegal and support it.
Of course there are CAD competitions. I love stuff like this, thank you.
A Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud that lures investors and pays profits to earlier investors with funds from more recent investors.

there is no difference between archaic and non-archaic methods of finance really. just structures that emerge from the prevalent economic, regulatory, religious, and cultural context.

islamic banking may seem weird to you if you are even aware of it, but its a timeless archetype of a certain pattern of relationships and rules that arose in response to a certain envrionment at the time ( which persists into modern day ). this system has probably more in common superficially with crypto than some other ways of organizing economic activity.

using words like archaic shows ignorance of the subject and of humanity. maybe when AI is doing everything and new underlying dynamics exists for the way machines relate, we can have this discussion but even then scarcity and physics exist and some methods of resource allocation have to be negotiated or emerge organically.

The fact is, it was only "100% remote" being forced into existence by the pandemic that is allowing us to even have the debate. Outside of tech almost nowhere allowed remote before.

Musk represents the old guard who liked making people suffer these horrible commutes and office environments just to make senior mgmt feel important.

As a result, I think it's important to defend 100% remote as a pro-employee position, and then look to optional onsite as a way to mitigate potential issues such as isolation, young folks with roomates etc.
>Another interesting question is what will the collapse in share prices to do hiring and retention since equity is a massive (typically >50%) part of total compensation. Those who got hired last year in particular have seen a huge amount of paper value disappear.

Yes. At least at the large firms, the best case scenario is probably that effective overall comp has and will continue to take a huge haircut. And corresponding cost of living will not. In fact, pretty much the opposite. Even housing in high cost of living areas will probably be pretty sticky with respect to prices.

That said, there's little indication so far that things are in "would you like fries with that?" territory as they were in the tech sector (well beyond just engineering) as they were in ~2000 to 2003 when many people left the industry for good. I was laid off and was very lucky to land a (less well-paying) new job in short order. There weren't much in the way of nibbles.

There will probably be reasonably plentiful jobs. But comp will come down to earth commensurate with other branches of engineering for example.

Have you checked out butyrate? There are some sodium butyrate supplements on the market. And a Japanese probiotic with Clostridium butyricum which produces butyrate.

This is actually why bribes to randomly selected citizens would be easier to catch. After a maximum 1 year term, a randomly selected citizen would be expected to go back to their previous line of work. Whereas an elected professional politician who has spent years in "public service" might naturally be expected to take a politically relevant job afterward.

If a randomly selected citizen magically starts getting huge bank speaking fees afterwards, that's obviously a bribe.
We have seen enough of modern classist society to see it’s not reductive to focus on class as the factor.

Every now and then i see americans surprised at how many non americans take interest in us politics. Ranging from mid terms to presidential elections. Thats because america has an influence over everything we do, both in free countries and non democracies. Be it military, politics, culture, social norms, everything is impacted by what happens there. And thats good, i personally like that country. Except i dont like its work culture and that it doesnt look after its own as much as it should and could.
