>> Over 50 percent of Black children in the U.S. will experience a child welfare investigation before their eighteenth birthday (nearly double the rate of white children).

So more than 25% of all children experience a child welfare investigation?

That's mind boggling.
I can’t say the same. I was making $150K in 2020 at 45 years old living in my 4 year old newly built house in the burbs and I completely ignored any chance at working at BigTech if it meant moving.

The only reason I gave a recruiter the time of day at the BigTech company I ended up working at is when she suggested I do a pivot into the cloud consulting department (cloud app dev implementations) and said the position was remote.

But I would go back to my old comp way before I would be willing to ever be in an office again.

I was making “enough” in 2020. Everything else was just gravy.
It has a neat feature of auto locking itself if you forgot it, so if you forgot your keys in, they will be autolocked in.

The radio touch interface is awful. There is basically no way to say "play everything". You've got to select the artist, then the album, blabla. Of course you need to stop the car to move on to the next album.

The detection for speed signals is so wrong. It consistently gets the signs that are meant for slow-down lanes to exit the highway as the actual limit I'm supposed to have.

In some specific places it imagines ghost speed signs every single time I pass.

1. You stop pretty much building anything new. That’s what most people are working on.

2. If you go deeper with cuts, most things will continue to work. But behind the scenes it’s a dumpster fire with people just trying to keep things running as much as possible. Things still work, but there will be bigger consequences down the road.

3. You go even deeper. Things work until they don’t. People who can fix it are no longer there. You decide to diversify away from that part of business and lose revenue.

The thing is there is a bloat in every single organization you have and tech companies are no different. But depending on how big 10000 is as a percentage of your total headcount, the impact can be anywhere from small to catastrophic

This is a massive amount of work before animators can make any use of it. Teams or indie devs that want to use modern animation in their games can't make use of Bevy/Fyrox(/Ambient?) until they develop these tools, which may take years at this rate.

Tickets for more modern animation have been filed in both projects for quite some time, but they lack the staffing and engineering headcount to work on it.

These engines are in a place where they can do rigid bone animation, but that's it. No faces, no breathing, no talking. You can hack your way forward with bones, but it's not as good and it's hard to build/maintain.

I'm doing my part by donating to many of the engineers building these systems in Rust, but I can't expend extra engineering help from myself or my team - we're too busy building things, and sadly I'll probably have to start launching web-facing stuff with Godot due to its incredible maturity. Our entire stack is almost entirely Rust, so it's a bit sad for us.
Ok, I had assumed you knew what fluid ounces were. Yeah, that assumption doesn’t make sense since it’s not used outside the US and a couple other countries.

The “fluid ounce”, being a measure of volume, can be used to measure fluids.
The key thing IMO is that the paper book was 0.9 lux but they cranked the ebook up to 30 lux. I missed that the first time. They also had the ebook set to "harsh blue", which my ebook reader can do but it also has a "warm" setting as well as the obvious ability to turn the brightness down from "glare of a thousand suns" to "candlelight"

> Having a dotcom is a signal of the organization's wealth.

The pricing of .com domains is extremely uneven, depending on your name. It could be $20.

> legitimacy and prestige

Since it’s semantically equivalent to other TLDs, it lies entirely in the eye of the beholder. This non-.com ickiness seems to be an outdated US-centric perspective, never heard of it elsewhere. The rest of the world are used to other TLDs, and some (say ai, io, app) indicate other positive business values.

> If your company is worth $3B, and your cash position is good, spending 0.01% of your valuation on a dotcom ($300k) is a no brainer.

So an established company should switch domain name and you’re not factoring in the cost of that? Or they should just have the .com on the side (but then how will the majority of your customers know about your state of the art .com domain)? Or should startups buy a $300k domain upfront?

It's complicated...

There are two equivalent ways to represent the universe:

1) The average value of the Higgs field is zero and there is a HUGE amount of Higgs bosons everywhere, but all the calculations are horribly^1000000 difficult.

2) The average value of the Higgs field is a constant that is not zero and there are very few Higgs bosons here and there, and the calculations are easy [1].

Obviously physicist prefer the second description, in spite both are equivalent.

There are some technical problems if you imagine that there is a constant everywhere in the universe, and has exactly the same value [2]. So the solution is that it has the "constant" has an average value and allow local variations. The local variations are the Higgs bosons, because the field is quantized.

In a universe where the average value of the Higgs boson is not zero, but there are no Higgs bosons, you get the same technical problems that were solved with the idea of Higgs.

[1] It's easy if you have a PhD in physics, a few years of specialization. I can't do them, but I know people that can.

[2] There are other constants anyway, but they are different... I have no better way to explain it :(.

Well, it starts at €480 (Linux) - €720 for the Mac for a pure IDE, without the ability to produce executables. You are limited to run your programs inside the development environment, this limits its applicability a lot. You can't write a simple command line utility this way, just to name one example. You cannot give it to a friend etc. The HobbyistDV edition is in my eyes the first really usable one. It is already over €1400, and that is for a single OS, a single CPU architecture. Especially as a hobbyist I might be able to play around with it a bit. I would be interested if there is any customer who has more than one hobbyistDV license. And that doesn't seem to include any updates.

I actually have a different hypothesis. There's no cap on interesting stories, but rather there's a cap on how long a submission can be noticed. The more submissions there are being posted, the faster existing submissions drop off the first couple new post pages, where people might see them. If a post can't stay long enough to be noticed, people might just elect to hold off posting until the new post space becomes less crowded.
Acting like you don't know what a real browser means in this context just so you can be mock offended.

In my own lobbying efforts I’ve found it very easy to get bipartisan support and things passed

It comes down to psychology and understanding people

A decade ago I would have thought getting any legislative body’s attention would be difficult, but all the special interests moved to far extremes of their parties for … reasons … to pursue things that will never get passed. They just left the center unguarded and forgot how to communicate, it seems. I understand this phenomenon is a reflection of broader society, just am surprised that it has affected “shadow organizations” or professional lobbying groups that have navigated so many political environments over time. Anyway, seize opportunity when you see it.

It is kind of addicting to alter reality in places you cant even register to vote in.
Coinbase is relatively trustworthy (publicly traded US company). I believe trading stablecoins has 0.001% fee, and ACH withdrawals and deposits are free[1].

And on the crypto side, USDT transfers on Ethereum (the most expensive chain) are usually less than $5. Currently about $3.40[2]

SWIFT is much more expensive and slower, feel free to check SWIFT numbers.

One technique that I've found helpful is setting up triggers, rather than routines. A trigger being a commitment of the form, in circumstance X, I will do Y. e.g., When I enter the bathroom the first thing in the morning, I will do some pushups. At a high level, it accomplishes the same thing as a routine, but it doesn't require the global discipline of a routine. With triggers you're only responding to the moment.
Parent's aren't being investigated for negligance because of 15-18 year olds. This is about 8 year olds. They're not the ones being reckless.

Also perhaps if young kids get a bit more freedom, they'd make more reasonable decisions when they're older? This could even help the "mayhem" you're worried about.

A lot of the medicine paper fraud is in Psychology papers. They are notorious for badly setup studies with intentionally leading questionaires for data. No amount of peer review seems to improve them and a journal somewhere will always publish it.

The volume is quite staggering as well, ~40 Psychologists are responsible for an insane amount of papers all with the same methodology problems showing it can cure everything. Apparently every disease has Psychology problems. In practice no one is getting better from their proposed and trailed treatments and patients repeatedly complain about it, but they are everywhere in Europe and the vast majority of doctors believe in these specialist even though the papers are universally review as very low quality even when they aren't faking data or manipulating the stats to produce an outcome.
You would think that living in the Dark Ages, with fiefdom/serfdom, slavery, plagues, no modern medicine, routine violence and torture, puritanical religion as standard belief system, little science or worldly information, half your children probably dying young, poor life expectancy in general, and lifetimes of hard thankless labour, sounds worse.

Yet somehow we have little issue or qualm in framing modern life as "worst ever", by various metrics.

It's interesting and complicated.

> But people have very different ideas of what “proper supervision” entails (as you know if you have, say, a spouse). One parent lets their kids play outside at age 6, another not till 12.

My kids play outside on their own now. At 3 and 6. My 6 year old has been doing so since about 3. Once she could follow basic rules (ie: dont go there).

At their current age we let them ride bikes in the street even, with the older in charge and both having to get well off the road the minute they see cars.

we watch them from the window but the point is to avoid intervening or helicoptering and allowing them to explore and be independent.

In fact we have to limit some media/shows that portray the parents as toys (ie: Bluey) because we notice it tends to stunt their independence and skews their overall expectations of a parent child relationship.
There is a reproducibility (replication) crisis in psychology. Much of what psychologists accepted as settled for years has turned out to be bunk. While there are some researchers doing excellent work, much of the field remains no more scientific than phrenology.

Progress depends on discoveries in surrounding fields having already been made, and on resources invested. To an extent, you can help spur surrounding fields with lots of $, but it seemingly isn't possible to force brilliant theoretical breakthroughs.

We have direct input for audio (cochlear implants) that needs iterating on, what needs tons of investment is visual.

I work for a rural ISP and would say that the data can be pretty overwhelming. We rely on the counties for GIS information regarding addresses, which in a lot of cases is not great (especially rural). For the big guys, and maybe even some smaller, there is a certain amount "land grabbing" for protection from competition. When you ask what the benefit would be, it could simply be the equivalent of a rounding error too. Maybe someone drew the polygon too big. It certainly matters though when it comes to not only the availability of funds to each state, but also the application process for certain areas.

Under 10. I am not quiet yet 30, so my oldest is 7. But yea, medical is no joke. Not even just the actual medical bills. At my current job, I pay about $1k a month just for them to have insurance. The company covers my premiums, but barely anything if I have dependents.
I made the same observation when I moved to the US, it was so weird to me that SF the city is pretty much devoid of children. They're all effectively locked up and prohibited from roaming. No-one trusts children, no-one trusts adults around children, no-one trusts strangers.

But I went skiing in Lake Tahoe one weekend, and suddenly all of that disappeared. Suddenly, you have children freely interacting with strangers, there's much less adult supervision, and a whole lot of trust in others again.

It's such a contrast, and you can experience it by simply driving for a couple of hours.

It kind of sounds like a good bit of the issue you see is that you end up with an about 50% win rate on large timescales. Isn't this kind of an ideal outcome though? Its not like its statistically possible for the majority of players to have a >50% win rate. Wouldn't you having a higher than 50% win rate essentially mean other players have a lower than 50% win rate?
