1. That is true, I actually wanted to mention that, but forgot. If you work for a corporation, they pay a high percent of taxes for you, that you don't see. But if you work as sole proprietorship you pay 7% (or 0%, if nobody is going to report you).

2. Sorry, I would not agree to that. If you want to compare cities, Moscow should be compared to NY or SF, where for $1,000 you will get a corner in a garage, if you are lucky. :D

3. I don't know $200 a month is a large amount of money. In some countries it is a month living. I have not been in Russia for a while, and my knowledge is based on 10 years ago, but you can get a $50 Android phone with like $3/month service, that will have some internet, an be able to make calls and texts. In USA, I believe, the cheapest would be close to $20 a month? The same about internet, you can start with $3/month in Russia for home internet, but in USA it is going to be at least $40?

4. I mean current time is different, obviously. But free health care is a free health care. Based on the relatives (mom, dad, grandfather and grandmother), they got an ok health care. My dad has serious asthma, with oxygen tanks, and he is actually running from doctors more, than he should, they are always reminding him about checking with them in the hospital. My mom has diabetes, she get all the prescriptions for free. My grandfather died of cancer, I mean he got some treatment, probably not the best, but he stayed in the hospitals for a long time. He actually lived in Crimea, when it was part of Ukraine, and at the same time this state was very corrupt (probably now as well, don't know), but he still got a treatment. To be honest, I don't have much knowledge yet about how the treatment of serious illness is going to be in USA, but my guess that they will suck all your money first, and after that get your on medicare. That is my guess.

5. That is hard to compare. In Russia there are still local markets, which aren't exactly the same as US markets. In local markets you can buy groceries (fruits, veggies) from local farmers for cheaper than in the supermarket. In USA markets are all super-organic food, that even has higher prices than in supermarkets. And the cheapest fruids/veggies you can buy are wallmart-like stores, where everything not even fresh. In Russia people do eat meat less often, but veggies and fruits can be way cheaper than in USA.
Some days I feel this is the fundamental difference between the GPL and BSD like licenses.

If you are building the thing for others, you obvously care about what and how others will use the software, so use the GPL.

When you are building it for yourself, it does not matter how others use the software, go ahead and use a BSD license.
By "plan" I meant simply "a method for achieving an end,"[0] not that you actually intend to act on that plan. Feel free to replace "plan" with "idea" if that is better.

I'm really confused by your comparison to the US again here: is the homeless problem in the US because of overpopulation as opposed to drugs and mental illness, for example? If so, then if US cities are overpopulated to the extent that the homeless level has gone up so much, Japan is most certainly even more overpopulated, and it's a forgone conclusion that the population should decrease. If the homeless problem in the US is not due to overpopulation, then how is the homeless problem in the US relevant to the overpopulation problem in Japan?

In any case, the US fertility rate is also low, at 1.64. So I think it's fair to say the cost of living, the largest of which is housing, plays a crucial role in the fertility rate. A family can't live in a cupboard, no matter how "accustomed to the idea" one may be. At the very least, most people wouldn't choose to start a family in a cupboard, and that is certainly reflected in the Japanese fertility rate.

This attitude conflating "not been proved" with "proved not" is a logical fallacy and used far to often as a reason not to do experiments in the exact cases that experiments are called for.

GPT prompt:

Write a letter to a politician that urges them to investigate and enforce laws around the anti-competitive behavior that Google is exhibiting when they abuse their market position to push their Chrome browser. Include a comparison to Microsoft's anti-trust lawsuits around Internet Explorer. Also include specific information around the actions Google is taking that is anti-competitive.

AI:

Dear [Politician],

I am writing to urge you to look into and enforce laws related to the anti-competitive behavior of Google, which is abusing its market position by pushing its Chrome browser. This situation has alarming similarities to the Microsoft antitrust lawsuits surrounding Internet Explorer.

Google is using tactics such as preinstalling Chrome on Android devices, and making it difficult for users to switch to a different browser. It uses its dominance in the search engine market to promote Chrome over alternatives. Google also restricts Android device makers from using modified versions of Android that would allow them to use a different browser. Google has gone even further to promote Chrome by incentivizing device makers to preinstall Chrome and Chrome-related apps through its Android Mobile Services agreements.

This is unacceptable and we need strong action to prevent large corporations like Google from abusing their power in the tech sector. Therefore, I strongly urge you to investigate and enforce laws around this anti-competitive behavior.

Sincerely,

> I get that Apple stuff is generally a nice experience and there is genuinely lots of cool technology, but people need to understand the future they are buying into with Apple.

Can't speak for all Apple users, but the way a lot of my friends talk about their phones - it is crystal clear they think they're better than you if you don't have an iPhone.

I imagine this subset of users would be glad that people without iPhones can't listen to podcasts.

I think they're aware of what they're buying into and like it.
Woke? In what way?
When you click the option to add a podcast to Apple Podcasts in the Podcasts Connect portal, there's one option to use an RSS feed and one to host your show on Apple.

I believe "Apple Podcasts Preview" just means you're looking at the web view.

You're saying this as if clinical trials have been done, and you know it for a fact. But there have been few clinical trials done on the traditional medicines I've mentioned. And none of them contained aristolochic acid... that seems like a very random point to make when so many pharmaceuticals also contain harmful chemicals.
> Is "x- 20" the same as "x - 20" the same as "x -20"[?] In the vast majority of modern programming languages, that is a yes.

Is that really true? I wouldn't exactly feel comfortable with "x -20", though I suspect you're right about at least a large number of languages determining the meaning of the hyphen through local syntactic context ("I just saw an identifier; that must be a non-unary hyphen").

Now I'm interested in whether the corpus of existing code shows any bias between "y = -x" (perfectly allowed, I think) and "y = -1 * x".

Curious how you went about the WA LLC too — I lived there for a lot of my life and that was my other thought on states to incorporate in.
Before anyone asks, I do think there is some value to upscaling of old photos and videos, like the popular HD/4k 60fps upscaling of videos from the 1800s: It gives even casual viewers a better sense of what the actual scene, and the life depicted within, might have been at that period. It's easier to accept this as "more real" (even though it's ironically less real).

But I really wish any such upscaling was very clearly marked as such, and pointed out to even casual viewers with disclaimers: Unlike the old choppy, blurry, low-res video, this is not a sample of reality back then anymore, but a speculative reconstruction.

This is a real shame. But the California BAR charges about $500 per attorney license per year, and in 2022 there were about 200,000 of them, so the California BAR stands to lose $100,000,000 in income. Very Perverse Incentive to keep their Gravy Train rolling.

The problem I see with cross platform UI frameworks, at least on desktop, is that often they don’t come with a full compliment of widgets with the dev being told they’re on their own for surprisingly basic things.

A lot of newer UI frameworks have nothing resembling a tableview with sort and columns/rows that can be rearranged with drag and drop for example, which is insane to me. These things have been standard in desktop OS UI frameworks for ages.

This kills my motivation when trying these frameworks out. I don’t want to be hunting down some half baked third party dependencies for various widgets or rolling my own, I want to be writing application code.

Much as I respect and appreciate these efforts in maintaining compatible alternatives to canonical Mac OS X and Mac OS XI, in modern days I would prefer to run Mac OS X/XI applications in my GNU/Linux system over some compatibility layer (FoundationLibc, CorePulse, PicQuartz, Melkan, etc), because, in the years after leaving Mac OS X, I have establish new workflows which are mainly GNU-based.

I still want GarageBand and perhaps Processing / Glyph, but I prefer embedding those Mac OS X/XI apps in my GNU workflows. Rebooting to another OS wastes time and virtualization has performance penalty; neither is fun.
I find an 'inverse semaphore' more useful: It blocks until it has been posted n times, where n is the init value.

That way you can wait for n threads to finish work.

> Spotify overtook Apple Podcasts as the biggest US podcast platform in 2021, when the Swedish company drew 28.3 million monthly US podcast listeners, about 200,000 more than its rival did.

Spotify, with it's own walled garden podcasts without RSS feeds, that can only be listened to with spotify app.

There is definitely something going on in podcasts, and it's bigger than Apple.

Maybe Apple could resist it by trying to keep podcasts open, like you suggest? Or maybe they'd just go down with the ship? Apple is clearly trying to beat Spotify at the walled garden game though, not try to figure out how to make money from openness. The walled garden game (and the analytics and ad placement you get from having more control of podcasts than just supplying RSS feeds to them) are way more profitable for the central platforms -- if not for the podcast producers, and who even cares about the podcast listeners?
but in linux it does not matter as much, you have the source, it is unpleasant to update it to a different api but not actually that hard, much easier than when all you have is a binary blob that you want to get running on your system.

> Don't gamble with money you can't do without, is what I was trying to convey.

That's fair, but my point was that retirements saving are money one "cannot miss" (as in the original comment) or "can't do without".

And yet I think it has to be invested, for example in the options you listed, because keeping it in a bank account will only expose it to inflation, and hurt your retirement.
This paragraph from the blog post stuck out to me:

> The software that drives these scanners is compiled for 32bit architecture and hasn’t been updated in well over 10 years. Hasselblad refuse to update it to modern architectures, and refuse to open source it to allow others to do that, so you are stuck using an OS that can run it.

It's fine if the scanner company doesn't think it's worth putting in the work to add 64-bit support to their software themselves, but they're the ones artificially making it harder to support indefinitely by keeping the code private despite seemingly having no plans to ever sell anything that uses it again. It seems weird to me to blame OS vendors for operating in bad faith when the people who own the actual code that no longer works aren't even willing to let anyone else attempt to do the work to update it for them.
When you stop and think about it, it is kind of insane that a fictional drawing in private possession, not even communicated to anyone, is already sufficient to land someone in prison in so many jurisdictions. Isn't this a clear case of legislating moral purity (as opposed to actual harm)?

If you live in the US and you're setting up an LLC just for yourself, it's cheaper & simpler to form the LLC in the same state in which you live, since a) you can act as your own registered agent, b) you'll still have to register with the state in which you live anyway, and c) it'll be easier to set up a bank account.

Delaware in particular can be more pricey than most states, since their infrastructure is oriented towards enabling third-party services (DelawareInc, IncNow, etc) instead of interacting directly with your business. Prepare to wait weeks for them to mail you copies of your documents unless you pay a third-party service to expedite.

The advantage of forming in Delaware is that there's lots and lots of settled business case law; but that's generally not relevant to a sole-proprietor LLC. (It is relevant, however, if you're forming a company with the aim of raising venture capital -- in which case you really want a Delaware C-Corp, not an LLC.)
This is rubbish. The police investigate the claim and based on the results of the investigation, the prosecutor decides whether charges can be laid. The prosecutor!

Ask HN: How do I know that I am autistic?
I live a pretty confusing life. I am sure that something is wrong.

I'm 35 and since the birth of my daughter I feel even more apart from "normal" behavior than before.

I have had several different therapists and autism has always been ruled out. My behavior is attributed to my intelligence. But I don't believe that.

I have approached problems methodically and functionally for as long as I can remember. I am infatuated with problem solving.

I find maintaining social interactions and simple friendships not easy and rather exhausting.

Approaching strangers is extremely difficult for me.

I have noticed over the years that I am not only very systematic at work, but also with people.

At the same time I have impulsive emotional outbursts for the most trivial reasons. For example, it can be that I have to go to someone to deliver something. Or partly shopping and asking for something. Or a screaming child. I can handle most things by now. I still don't like to go shopping, but I do it because I have learned to position myself differently with my thoughts.

I have learned to act, I can talk and behave in the best social manner. I have only been able to read people well since I was about 16. I have a library of behavior patterns in my head and try to deduce something from them.

Now as a father, the world looks very different. Every day I am confronted with a screaming child, it whines or it laughs. What I have to say is that I am not cold and I love my child. But I can not cope with many things.

I realize how much my analytical approach brings nothing. I try to comfort and play. But what I noticed made me think.

It always feels like a new problem, I can't get used to it. Everyone who has a child knows that it is a similar game every day. But I find it hard to understand the behavior. Sure I understand why kids scream, I know they have no other way to express themselves. I understand that a child has needs and I give her as much love as I can.

But in the back of my mind I always have the problem that needs to be solved. Which prevents me from accepting it and developing a routine.

So what is wrong? Or are all people like that?

Why on hackernews?
I had already tried about others. Social networks to achieve something, but unfortunately I did not find an adequate answer.

Since I am here often, I know about the great community and just hope for understanding and not so much for a concrete answer. Maybe someone is going through the same thing.

About myself:
I have been in therapy for other reasons. I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety. Which also narrow down to social interactions.

I am a happy person. I do not have depression. Our child is doing great and we are also very happy with each other.

Why anonymous?
For internet reasons.
That sounds way harder. You'd first need to lift a giant pile of metal to a cartoonishly high height, then somehow time it to drop on yourself when the cars are near.
