Thanks. I was trying to figure out where the "monster homes" appellation was coming from. It evokes McMansions but it's more about reach and spread than size.

FAR zoning not allowing for a simple 2 story home seems absurd but I suppose those were written to imply a certain setback from the property line.
> This isn't an insoluble moral puzzle. I don't think pharma is an ideal example for your larger point. Most businesses don't thrive on the desperation of their customers.

I mean, pharma as an industry also creates the ability to pull people back from the edge.

Medicine isn't created out of thin air, the universe doesn't just owe us a steady supply of new innovations that have kept so many people alive and in better comfort. Money needs to be invested, that money has to be paid by someone.

"avoid animal suffering wherever possible"

This is the key factor for me.

And yes, scale matters. To reduce animal suffering on a global scale, the obvious target are the meat factories. That doesn't mean, that avoiding animal suffering here isn't something that should be done as well. And when there was unnecessary testing, it clearly was unnecessary animal suffering.

This is an over generalization of American culture. Yes, in my experience, when parents live in a high cost of living city with plentiful opportunities, the children tend to live at home longer. This seems quite common in California and New York. In areas with less opportunity, children are forced to move out or never have much of a career.

This was the case for me. I had no choice but to leave home at 18 or I would have been working in food service or lawn care for the rest of my life.

Not in this case. It is 15 years of proper software engineering and devops experience, for times in leading positions with additional responsibilities.
I understood that the time pressure lead to mistakes that made some experiments useless. So they had to be repeated, which means more animals in total died than if the experiments had been done correctly the first time.

Of course the specific animals would have been used for other experiments, but it would have affected the total number of animals bred and killed.

There's no real problem with smart contracts under English law: there's clear evidence of intent to form an agreement, a payment is made etc. It's pretty uncontroversial.

I know, I have been beating on CLJD like I was its Daddy wrapping it in a reactive framework, despite their warning that there would be surprises. I had one problem that turned out to be a simple bug in CLJD.

I also follow their channel on the #clojurians Slack and see they are doing a profoundly deep job on the compiler. This means a robust product, not one that has developers forever looking over their shoulders at the language they are using.

Six months for that is nothing. Now send them eight dollars. jk. :)

> Patronising is thinking you know you don’t want kids without having them. You don’t. You have no idea what it’s like.

This sentence is the definition of patronizing. It's the same thing parents tell their kids: "oh you just don't understand what it's like, that's why you don't agree with me".
Work for a small company. Even if they're cartoonishly evil, the capability of being so is limited.

And so most aren't.

Also with a small company you'll know just about everything the company is "doing" whereas if you're working for (Rackspace, Google, Meta, etc) you have a very good chance of not knowing what the company is doing somewhere until it becomes a major news headline.
Depending on your philosophical leanings, banning abortion actually grants bodily autonomy to the entirety of the not-yet-born population.

I'm not expecting you to accept that philosophical position, but I hope it explains how the governmental policy is only an overreach to the extent that a particular unprovable and unfalsifiable philosophical position is correct.
I was given the advice of: There is never a good time to have kids.

I'm over 50, I have kids (and now grandkids) - everyone of them was unplanned and at the time I could not afford them. But each time we struggled and either we made ends meet and it spurred me on to get more money (change jobs/ go contracting/ start my own business)

If we assume they started both on the same date, then they wouldn't have had to lie or mislead prior to that point.

Then the question is only whether it's legal (contractually) to be employed by more than one employer at a time. But to that... would it be legal for a company to own every waking hour rather than just your employed hours?

I've not seen anything that says someone has to be exclusively hired, but they would need to be able to fully do their job for their employed time and surely that's all that matters.
since amazon has a policy to layoff the bottom 6% every year (numbers may be off), any good manager will be constantly looking for someone to hire into the bottom 6% role so they can keep their good people. Since they are not actually looking for someone who can do a good job they don't care if they treat you well.
> I don't want a small screen to travel with.

Have you ever had a trip longer than 24 hours? When I had such a trip, I felt the desire to remove my big luminous screen and put eink in its place. This could save me upto 1000%-10000% of the charge (10-100 times longer working time) on some sections of the path. What I'm saying is that travel is the best time to read or create really deep stuff, and a glowing, power-hungry display doesn't fit the travel scenario the author is talking about. But the Forever Computer described in the article, which is suitable for everyone, is in first order the interface between a person who has hands/speech/brain activity and other computers that already have a screen.

I understand that you are most likely a designer, because you need an impressive display and a fairly crappy keyboard. Let your Forever Computer have a keyboard that suits you, have the ability to connect a screen that suits you, but will not let you down when the batteries designed to power your screen run out.
just chiming in for others that i've had a job specifically waive a coding test because they saw me livecode in front of 2000 people and my fave amazon interview story was a guy that walked in with his laptop open to my blog saying "this is just a formality i've read your work" lol

The issue, at least for me, starts when we give children drugs and surgeries to enable them to switch genders.

"Failed corporate governance" is the root of most crimes like this. It just means that no one was watching the hen house.

What's criminal here is that it wasn't just failed governance, there was literally no governance. They comingled funds (it's just a big pile of cash, right?) and didn't even consider risk. [1] This is what happens when Scooby and The Gang run a hedge fund. Zoiks!

The point of regulation is that it ensures that companies have frameworks like this in place, and that the actors are playing fairly. Mainly because we can't trust some people among us to not take advantage of having access to other peoples money. You can't build a civilization on the back of "Trust me bro I'm good for it".

Think about it, why do people regularly hand over their money to their bank, when they've never met the people actually running it? We trust that if we put money in, that later it will come back out. But why? It's because regulation solves the trust problem, if your bank is FDIC insured you're covered. Thanks government!

Yes regulation is an evil, but a necessary evil. It's a tax on everyone because some people can't be trusted with the keys to the bank vault. The government ties their hands, that's a good thing. It's harder to raid the cookie jar with one hand tied behind your back.

I think some of the recent events around FTX and similar are exactly why you would want on-chain records, fees or not. Actors in this space are (imo) not fully trustworthy.

Sucks for downtown's but I'm glad to see anything that leads to a broader distribution of population.
I don’t think it’s necessarily unfalsifiable to some degree. But there’s certainly parts of our astrophysics model that are already unfalsifiable and there’s no way around that. For example, the existence of the unobservable universe by definition is unfalsifiable. We kind of just assume the locality principle and that stars leaving our ability to observe them is expansion and not them hitting the edge of the universe and getting destroyed :).

It may not have anything to do with the greater fool theory as we aren't constantly buying or selling children or doing child swaps like banks do with money but it is worth bringing up as we are humans in both places and I suspect the underlying human psychology is the same.

> In finance, the greater fool theory suggests that one can sometimes make money through the purchase of overvalued assets — items with a purchase price drastically exceeding the intrinsic value — if those assets can later be resold at an even higher price.

> In this context, one "fool" might pay for an overpriced asset, hoping that he can sell it to an even "greater fool" and make a profit. This only works as long as there are enough new "greater fools" willing to pay higher and higher prices for the asset. Eventually, investors can no longer deny that the price is out of touch with reality, at which point a sell-off can cause the price to drop significantly until it is closer to its fair value, which in some cases could be zero.[1][2][3][4]

It gets even weirder in some places. We owned a house in an HOA for awhile in Michigan that was technically a "site condominium". We owned the exclusive right to build an house on our lot and the house that the previous owners built but the HOA owned the common areas and if I recall correctly the mineral rights for our property.
This reflects my experience as well. Roadmap plannings and API designing between systems, communicating and enforcing best practices within the time constraints, meetings with different service developers/designers to solve the upcoming features...

Less coding, more meeting and reviewing, overall clear view of the big picture is a must.

Haven't tried Taiga or this docker helper, but it should speed up your setup.
I can’t say anything regarding this project or Angular. I just want to address the „you don’t need to be on a maintained/supported version, if what you need is there“.

The problem are security bug fixes, which usually are only backported to supported versions, regardless of when they were introduced.

E.g. version 1.5 introduced a vulnerability, but it’s not found until after the release of 3.1. At this time only 3.1 and 2.5 are supported. If you’re using 1.5 you need to upgrade. Most probably at the least convenient time possible.

You probably know this already. I still wanted to address it, because at one time in my life I was young and naive and thought similar to you. There might be people out there who can learn from that.
Signing everything is not terrible advice. But here the problem Fred is trying to solve is very simple. He is an investor in mirror.xyz and needs to make his money back. This is the only reason someone interested in signing something would also ask you to go through the hassle of using a blockchain.
No, it states the per child cost for a family with 2 children:

> A recent estimate conducted by the Brookings Institution projected the cost of raising a child for a middle-income, two-parent married family with two kids to be north of $310,000.

>The estimate assumes the youngest child would be born in 2015 and covers raising the child through the age of 17. It does not include the cost of sending the child to college.

This seems to be the source:

https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Brookin...

Edit: not only does the study exclude college costs, but it excludes daycare costs, which are relevant to pretty much all dual income couples.
I find it interesting how quickly people resort to a "the ends justify the means" attitude about this stuff when, as pointed out in the article, there are others in the same space doing the same thing who HAVE managed to perform the due diligence required to get the proper approval. Is the assumption their efforts won't lead to anything because they've managed not to screw up the implant sizes or glue?
Web3! Does AVC have anything riding on that?

Meanwhile, from 2004, on Web1:

On the other hand, say you’ve already established something of an online identity, perhaps through your own web site, or as a frequent commenter at this or some other blog(s). What prevents someone else from coming along and posting a comment here, leaving your name and your website’s URL to identify himself? Put another way, how can readers determine the authenticity of comments left here? …

Well, now there’s a way to reassure them. If you have a PGP public key (if you don’t, create one for yourself), put a link to it in the <head> section of your web page:

<link rel="pgpkey" type="application/pgp-keys" href="http://yoursite.com/path/to/yourkey.asc" />

Then you can:

1. Compose and preview your comment as before.
2. Edit it, as needed, and preview again.
3. Use your favourite PGP tool to clear-sign the text in the comment-entry box.
4. Paste the clear-signed comment into the comment-entry box, replacing the unsigned version.
5. Click PREVIEW once again, and then click on POST.

To outward appearances, your comment will look no different than before. The only difference will be a clickable link to “verify” the comment.

Ask HN: Isn't enjoying difficult coding like enjoying difficult writing?
When writing a novel for example, you want the writing to be effortless so you can focus on more important things like the plot, characters, etc.

So why would you want the coding to be difficult?
> the right is promote their view of social morality,

Isn't it patently obvious that their view of social morality is relativistic? Considering they endorsed multiple men who have openly paid for abortions, cheated on all their partners etc.

If you believe in social morality you do not put a man like Hersel Walker anywhere near a ballot. Or you would suspend candidates with serious allegations like Gaetz being investigated over dating a minor.

If the proposal is social morality, why not lead by example?

> no sex out of wedlock etc

if the right wing view about economics is that the right incentives will fix the market. Having tax benefits for married couples is already an economic incentive, therefore either their economic policy is wrong, or they shouldn't complaint about this as time will correct the market.

> Another of their arguments is that welfare payments from the state have made it easier for the poor to not stick together and this has been a driver of single parent households.

This might hold water on paper. But in reality every country with stronger social nets has lower crime. Even small experiments with universal credit have been fairly promising in lifting everyones living standards.

In my opinion the lip service to "strong on crime" and "welfare disincentivices people working harder" is done because the consequences on those policies reinforce the status quo. They do not want more police or less welfare because its good for society, they want it because it keeps social mobility from happening. And considering how many people in the right are investing in rent-seeking instead of aggresive and innovative capitalistic ventures I think their actions speak louder than their words.

If the entire Republican party moved to back AI and venture investment, and put forward absolute paragons of business with large perfect families I would believe them. But so far all I see is sketchy car used salesman energy millionaries with legacy degrees promoting business loans and rescues for companies that haven't been competitive in 3 decades.
Everyone wants to have kids. Everyone. But the whole fear of the future between paying for school loans, divorce rates, rising cost of living, exciting work environments, both couples working, thoughts of day care, and finally the lack of compromise in reducing your class of living is driving people bonkers where children and family are just no longer part of the equation.
> Even if they pursue medical intervention, it's only going to affect them at worst.

People are worried about their kids. People are scared and the media amplifies the most extreme voices. Establishing scientifically the effectiveness of medical interventions is difficult in the best of circumstances and most psychology is non-reproducible, so it's hard to know what to believe is best.
The overhaul to get the Netherlands to that point took about 10 years, if I recall - I saw a talk by a team from your Land Registry talking about scanning goat hide parchments in Old Dutch into the property rights database!

It's a pretty impressive system overall: https://www.elra.eu/enriching-the-data-from-the-cadastre-and... and in jurisdictions with this kind of sophistication obviously there's less need for alternative solutions.
One morning last week, I’ve noticed that my wife was walking around the house in unusual silence. I thought I might have upset her with something, but couldn’t really recall any transgression that would have made her mad. Then after a few minutes of this, she dropped a pregnancy test in front of me, with a “+” sign shown on the little display.

Looks like I’m going to be a father!

I knew that this could happen sooner or later, but only as an abstract thought; something that will happen sometime way ahead in the future, like your own death.

At that moment it became something tangible. A few days later I’ve noticed that I’m driving much more carefully, respecting the speed limit and whatnot. A few weeks ago I was contemplating doing ketamine with a friend of mine - now it sounds absurd.

It’s frightening how fast your subconscious changes your perspective practically overnight.
> That sounds low to me and attainable in Europe if you have 5+ YoE at the right places. It sounds to me like you are being lowballed. I'm getting similar offers with way less experience.

Where you at?

In the Netherlands getting anything over €70k is incredibly hard. There are very few companies offering close to that and those are often for architecture roles. Lead dev is usually €60-70k, with some €70-80k exceptions, but those usually require ~10 years focused experience.

Interestingly, over here the freelance market is much better. Those will easily get you €100-150k gross and are often quite long term. And even with €100k, combined with all the tax benefits it's very much worth it.
The problem is, when you retire, you cannot pay the rent for the house anymore... what do you do then?
