You have to put the critters to sleep with anestethic drugs in order to "experiment" on them, since the experiments involve surgery. I very much doubt that such animals can safely enter the human food supply.
There were also tons of stories decrying internet memes as hate symbols, so "The quantity, and prominence of the institutions spouting them" is not a valid argument.

This made me remember growing up playing glider, a game where you are a paper airplane navigating a house or some other location staying aloft on warm air currents and avoiding obstacles such as candles, furniture, and other paper airplanes. This led me here:

A JavaScript port of the game. For some reason I put hours into this game which is strange because I remember playing it on a Mac and I never owned one as a child.
I think you are being a bit disingenious. I do not think anyone on the left is defending single motherhood as the best environment to raise children, specially when many of those single mothers do not do it by choice.

Considering about 50% of black amle americans spend time in jail (most of which for drug offenses) and the drug war is a complete and utter failure, I would argue that the lefts proposed solutions of decriminisalising drugs like weed, and encouraging inner city rehab programms would have a better and faster return on investment to stop "single mothers" than "promote stable family units" which has no policy attached to it other than add more christianity in school.

Thats just my view point.

FTX is exactly because of it being unregulated or where there was regulation -- it being absolutely inadequate and ineffective.

Any sane regulator would not allow the shit happening that happened in FTX.

This is not a company making bad business decisions. This is company making bad criminal decisions with the money they did not own and were not free to do what they pleased and creating impression of value in a fraudulent way.
I don't think it's valid to write off all unions based on anecdotal evidence. For every example of bad unionisation one can probably provide one or more counter-examples of good unionisation (e.g. the Scandinavian countries).
There's always active materials. We already have heated jackets, why not dehumidified jackets?

I have no idea, I only started paying half-attention when the Energiewende started firing up and I don't read German. But I went to have a look and found someone saying they had a 30 hour outage for 30k people in Berlin in 2019.

Things break, and you need to be ready for blackouts. I'd still rather take cheap and 99% availability than expensive and 100%.

Why did you use the word objectively here? It seems like people objectively do use this stuff, though you possibly don't think that they're actually getting value out of it. Ethereum likely has more users than anything either of us will ever build.

I'm guessing you had a mandate that all new cars need to have DAB receivers.. when did that come in action? Because here in slovenia, you could still buy a new car without DAB just a few years ago. Basically, i'm just wandering if all your cars sold in the last 10+ years already have dab (by mandate) and the turn-off wasn't a real pain for most, or if like 80%+ of your cars on the street just lost radio reception?
I’d say that’s true up to a point, and that point is when unsophisticated customers watch an FTX commercial during the Super Bowl and then send $10K into SBF’s pocket. Those people are innocent.
The company I work for is easily 'evil'. It's hard to avoid in the industry they are in. Their products have killed people, caused birth defects, and ruined lives in many countries around the world.

Those fertilizers that hurt more than they helped? Those chemicals spread all over enemy lands during the war? That plant disaster that they tried to cover up?

Everything I do helps the company be more efficient at producing these products. The in-joke is "what kind of poison are we making today?", or "what country are we killing people in with this?"

On the other hand, the other 95% of the products produced here are making people's lives better.
That takes a day in The Netherlands.

This is what I was also expecting. The complexity in engineering a road tire is what first comes to mind.
You’ve nicely explained why trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs) exist. Absolute belief that gender is purely a social construct (a core tenet of second-wave feminism) is strictly incompatible with gender dysphoria existing at all, since gender dysphoria necessarily means that our brains are inherently wired to be male or female.

The reality is more nuanced—while certain gender roles are purely social constructs, other aspects of gender are hardwired.
There are plenty of countries with a sub replacement level birth rate. Were it not for immigration, this would put them in deep economic peril.
Perhaps you found more meaning in the race angle for some reason (countries like Japan are left puzzled with your logic), but I found the message pretty clear. The observation “white people are lazy and rich” is a pretty outdated and lazy one, it’s surprising to see it here on HN tbh. Do you think the birth rate in Ukraine is down because of wealthy whiteness?
No. Privacy has to exist at the base layer.
Where in the article did it say NeuroLink was deliberately torturing the animals? In fact, the article said that the animals are killed after research in order to do post mortem examinations. This is standard across many animal testing labs.

>reality requires exploration to be known, understood, and then predicted which happens with increased difficulty in a society that decrees certain areas taboo or against their common morals

That's an awfully conservative sounding description these days.
> only speaking about wealthy white people

Wealthy or not, white or not, you're going to feel it sooner or later in most countries. The whole system is built on a strong working class, once the balance shift to an older population it's going suck for a few generations

Not many white peeps in Japan or China btw, yet they'll suffer the same thing, India will be next, albeit a bit later

But yeah, "white man bad", that's good enough !
Maybe "wealthy" people.

Japan is suffering identically.

Interesting, we used Taiga long time ago (5 years?) and honestly it was too simple to what we needed. The UI was poor and the whole application was slow in general. Glad to see they’re still pushing the project forward though, every competition is healthy.

I'm tickled by this part and I'm trying to figure out why. Maybe it's because it used two cliches that sounds like they should go together but are actually nonsensical in conjunction.

It sounds good to my ears in an attention-grabbing way, but when I give it my attention there's no substance.

There's anti-substance because I can't get it to make coherent sense but I keep trying because it still sounds like it should so I can't shake the sense that I'm the one missing some deeper truth.

It's like the uncanny valley of logical reasoning.

It's not an optical illusion, it's a rhetorical illusion.

China birth rate rings a bell?
Excel begs to differ ;)
I used to think like that, but not anymore. The parents must not answer this question. They must not even attempt to do it. It's up to the children, who have their whole lives before them, to look for an answer. And that's the whole point.
Sorry for slightly off topic response but is there a site (twitter account?) you can recommend for (unsubstantiated) gossip about what's happening inside twitter?

While I'm obviously guilty of wanting to know details about the 'car crash' I'm also curious on a professional level about the challenges and changes that are happening to the engineering teams in this extreme situation.
Yeah, I had a chat with ChatGPT about some issues related to market research last night. It wasn't that difficult to "goad" it into giving contradictory answers when I started digging in on details but I wasn't that worried because I was looking for pointers and inspiration and though ChatGPT might be an interesting way to get that (it was). I certainly don't think, nor do I particularly see it as a flaw, that ChatGPT doesn't have a completely unified and consistent review of market research methodology.
It depends on the culture, I guess - AFAIK the birth rate in western countries is decreasing.

On the other hand, the taxi drivers I remember talking to about children, had all a certain (non-western) background, and they had (as far as I remember) 2, 4, 3, 8 children, respectively.
Just look at the trend :

Fertility rates are close to or below 2 pretty much everywhere except subsaharian africa, and dropping significantly on a world wide level.

Trying to make this issue 'white vs other' is unwarranted and simply does not fit actual data.

Sure. Adventurous or curious people might give something a try just for the hell of it. For some it will stick. For many it won't.

This is what I find so exhausting about those who try to drum up some kind of controversy around gender identity. Assuming it is all just a fad, who cares? Where's the issue when people decide to switch their gender on a whim? It's their lives. People do all kinds of things on a whim. Adults, teens and children too. Especially children, in fact. Sometimes people regret the things they did, sometimes they don't. Oh well, it's part of life.

I could understand being concerned about a social trend if it was causing violent behavior that negatively affected other people's lives, but this isn't that. Who is it hurting if someone decides to identify as another gender? Even if they pursue medical intervention, it's only going to affect them at worst. If anything the small government/pro-freedom position should be to defend the right of those people to live how they want.

I think Hancock is a total fraud but the irony is that you probably have the more anti-science world view.

I think everyone needs to be more critical of "Shill" accounts such as yours.

You are fast to assume that i did not see it "first hand", slow to realize that this does take place and when provided new information (the lawsuit post) unwilling/unable to incorporate new information into your position.

What value do you feel you are adding to the conversation? You seem to be wearing your McKinsey hat "they never do anything wrong, it is all justified just not at your level"..
Does the change over from home manufactured children to imported mirror the offshoring of North American industry? This could be an inevitable outcome of optimizing for labor costs.
It’s not misinformation. You are basically saying it’s from mandarin back when mandarin was a lot more like Cantonese.

It is very easy to hear the similarities between bak ging and Peking… clearly they are related, exactly the same mouth tongue and aspiration.

But sure, it’s from mandarin back when mandarin pronounced it just like the Cantonese do :) not from Cantonese at all.
Kinks are impossible to pin down or fence in, people can get turned on by literally anything. https://xkcd.com/468/ This doesn't really muddy the waters; the concepts remain distinct, and people making it a kink to conflate them is kinda like how a joke isn't true but is only funny if you know the truth it refers to.

Heteronormativity conflates gender and sexuality; I'd guess (while acknowledging I don't know the content of anyone else's mind) that is what is responsible for their confusion, because they have been raised in a heteronormative society, the distinction doesn't exist in their mind.

If we do, I have never experienced something that works and is useful, but just by using PCPartPicker to see shops to buy electronics my choices are Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg, B&H, Gamestop, and three other companies I have never heard of. The thing about that is I don't have europeaan minimum return policy standards, so any website I don't know about can rip me off and I cannot do anything about it.

I also live in a pretty remote area, so I have to drive 45 minutes to 2 hours to be in any big box store.

I once had an investor who I thought was a great fit for both me and the business. We clicked on every level. We shared the same goals, philosophy, way of thinking about things. I loved him.

A few days before making his decision, he called me at 11pm. I knew exactly what was happening. If I didn't pick up, he probably would think I'm a 9-5'er (which I'm not).

If I did, I would probably be getting into a long-term relationship with a guy who considered him more important than my family. He'd probably want me jumping on planes at the last second to show him slides, mentoring his other founders, etc.

This wasn't my first deal. I was successful. I decided to not pick up.

The deal fell through, predictably. But I couldn't be happier with my decision.

In addition to what was said about AWS Solution Arch I would add in getting the CKAD and then follow-up with CKA is a good secondary path if you are at all exposed to k8s. Linux Foundation usually has a class+exam bundle. I like these because they are not multiple choice tests, you get a terminal and have to solve problems so I found studying more interesting and hands-on.

I don't know how you can a priori gauge this probability. If something illegal suddenly becomes legal but is still somewhat taboo, that obviously attracts experimentation, at least from rebellious youth.

Something I've really come to appreciate with OpenBSD is the stability and ease of in-place upgrades. I'm not very familiar with FreeBSD, but from what I've read it seems it too has stable, straightforward, in-place version upgrades. I'd love to hear people's experiences.

I've found with Linux distributions that aren't rolling releases, things tend to break in annoying and insidious ways, such that you generally need to, or at least it is strongly advisable to, fresh install each time.

This is probably of less importance given the demise of the monolithic server, but for my own server, I really appreciate it and the avoidance of reconfiguring everything.
Only thing that drives Ethereum application ecosystem to allow people to gain and ofcourse to lose money. If Ethereum was not attached to financial interest the project would not grow.

FBI warning: This ransomware gang hit 100 targets made more than $60M
Gross. Net depends on various factors (kids, spouse etc) so isn’t usually used for comparison. Personally I‘m living in Austria, where things are quite similar - I‘d say 100k gross should work out to 55k net for a freelancer. That’s after having paid for a deductible company car and hardware etc, so, again, hard to compare to others.
Even if you believe that the earth is overpopulated and think a shrinking population is good, you still need to consider the sustainability of that population change.

Birth rates below replacement means that the proportion of elderly increases every year, forever. This means an every increasing proportion of resources has to be transferred from the working to non-working population.

It will become harder and harder for young people to build wealth and support themselves and it means fewer resources to solve the other very big problems we have such as climate change.
100k€ for 15 years of experience seems about right for me. If you factor in all the freebies and tax refunds and stuff, that's roughly equivalent to earning 1000€ per billable day as a German freelancer, or the equivalent of about $150 per hour in the US.

Typical freebies in Germany include:

- 13th salary as a Christmas gift (so +8.3% salary)

- only half of your health insurance costs are included in the nominal salary

- tax refunds if you buy a PC, do courses, or drive to work with your car

- company pays for children's daycare

- government-backed retirement fund with generous payouts. If you pay in 83€ per month now you can expect to receive at least €450 per month later.

Also, with a bit of searching, you can rent a house with garden for €2000 per month even in large cities like Hamburg or Berlin. As a result, an 100k€ annual salary will be enough for you alone to comfortably bankroll a family of 5 - something that's almost impossible in the bay area due to high rents and insane costs of living.

>Who has a good answer for that at this point?

There likely isn't a satisfactory answer for everyone but I consider our job (as a whole) to move the human civilization forward. Every person can help take the one small step they can and it may not even be in the direction we intended it to be. My job as a parent is to provide the nurturing environment for my son to develop that sense of self and direction so he can find his purpose.

So while I work to make the better place for my son to live in, I can't solve all the problems we face. It is up to people collectively to overcome those burdens and the trip we make along the way is part of it.

For all the grief, hardship and depression we see in the world, Joy, Love and Happiness still exists to be found and I'm doing my best to let my son find the latter while trying to shelter him from much of the former.

Btw this article neglects to mention a very important feedback loop: less babies equals less economic growth, which equals less babies because it’s too expensive, which in turn leads to less economic growth and so on.
