So it seems they have highly overlapping jurisdictions, question still stands though, why is the FTC particularly pushing this?

Isn't it generally a good idea to compartmentalize agencies so they are not stepping on each others toes? I know this is still a problem between the FBI, CIA, DEA, ATF, etc., we know these agencies in particular had a huge historical problem with secrecy amongst themselves, even on the same programs

Private corps are also not innocent of this, many companies are famously competing against each other internally, both in the literal sense by subsidiaries and like that org chart for MSFT.
It's also worth noting that we don't know any specifics (parameters, training tokens) of GPT-3.5. Only for GPT-3 those numbers have been published.
Well, if the only thing that keeps populations stable is uneducated and subservient women, then we deserve to decline as a species. Besides, there are many other factors involved. First one being the stupidly high cost of housing and childcare.

This is pretty much what was implemented in Finland starting last year.

If an employer wants to keep a non-compete clause in a contract, they are forced to pay their prior salary for the agreed period (max 12 months) after employment - regardless of where the employee chooses to work afterwards. If they go to a non-competitor, they can start immediately and get their new salary on top of the non-compete compensation.

Needless to say, nearly all non-compete clauses were systematically removed from existing employment contracts.
They need an order of magnitude more spending. Child care is expensive and hard to find, and so is housing.
First, the post office is not a company but a government service so it can LOSE money and that's fine. Second, they don't they make a little on local delivery and bulk and lose a little on long distance. It's not rocket surgery.
I think the "it's too expensive" part is a very minor part of the issue.

People had way less opportunities one or two generations ago, and my parents generation in Italy bought their house with a mortgage and payed it in decades just like their kids did.

What changed is expectations: you feel like you should travel before getting a kid. You should have plenty of sexual experiences before picking a partner. You should give priority to your career before settling in a given city, etc.

Empowerment of women made "get married and out of your parents house" a less interesting option, education and options for people added up, and cultural shifts happened.

Having children is just another bucket list item these days.

I don't know about the specific terms, but 2 years warranty looks like the EU standard, which de facto is only 6 months because while the warranty is indeed 2 years per se, the burden of proof that the product was deficient when sold flips from the seller to the buyer after 6 months.

Anyways, it boils down to the individual appreciation of whether the added de facto warranty time is worth the high price premium or not. For my purposes, it isn't.

Endless variable but I think key 5 things they could do to help;

- Reduce house prices, couples often want to get the house while they have 2 incomes and then have kids. Pricing people out is going to add delay here making it harder to start a family and how many kids you can have.

- Reduce education debt for the same reason as above, let youth start life without a burden holding them back.

- Put tax break on kids. Have something like an extra $5k added to each parents tax free threshold for every child you have. This benefits people having children plus those returning to work which is good for society.

- Paid maternity of a significant lenght for both the mum and dad. I was fortunate to have my kids in Norway where (more detail but roughly) you get 12 months paid to split between the mum and the dad. And the dad must take 3 month minimum. This was it normalises all people out of work for having kids and really helps the attitude to exit/entry and all sorts of benefits, its a real game changes to helping support families having a few kids IMO.

- Subsided preschool - in Australia it was hardly worth my wife returning to work for the cost of 2 kids in pre-school. She wanted to but its a huge financial burden in many countries. Kids are covered when they get to school age but there is a window here that is financially very tough on families.
Agreed - a nice footnote would be appropriate.
AI will solve this problem and create countless others.
I'm sorry to see "I don't care" as the top response to your thoughtful comment.

We are better off if we can argue the merits of both sides of issues. Trying to ram one answer down everyone's throats is not productive and does not make for good conversation.
A zone of what though? Time zones, are zones of our planet where we observe time in some coordinated fashion. If we're adding the moon, what part of our globe should it be considered a part of? This all seems pretty silly.
Another way to quantity the effect on Dimorphos is the speed change. It was about 2 centimeter/second.

So if Dimorphos would be an object orbiting the sun by itself, then its location in its orbit would be shifted by about an Earth radius over 10 years.

(In reality, Dimorphosis is paired with the 100x heavier Didimos, so their orbit around the sun was affected much less.)
Ironically one of the things my local library offers is free internet access, so that isn't really a problem.

I'm a heavy-duty C++ programmer professionally, but I find GDScript really nice to work with.

Sure you could:

"In chess pieces have identity and thus differentiated functions, in go they don't. At the level of state/war machine there are also functionaries: the president, the general, but also interchangeable parts: soldiers, workers."

It just doesn't mean anything that you can summarize this or anything (Deleuze or not), you could even use a statistical learning tool to summarize it. You could summarize your deepest pain using just the words "it hurt", or your deepest pleasure with the banal, Owen-Wilson-esque interjection, "wow", so what?

These people have just been mesmerized by Marcus Hutter and the like that "compression is intelligence", or by Richard Feynman and the like that things must be simple and explainable to a child: yes, maybe, if you write equations; no, if you are expressing love: philo-sophia. I just imagine reading their love letters: "Dear beloved, Today, as previously told, I love you also, Signed".
I disagree. At most, we should allow it in limited circumstances where it would be on the company to prove why the non-compete is absolutely necessary. High tech chip manufacturing where the employee has a wealth of trade secrets in their head and taking it to a competitor would be disastrous – maybe. Reading a script at a call center or making a sandwich – hell no.
Please don't post like this in the threads. It will just start an arms race if other people start doing it.
A lot of men think that the people they rob or stab "deserve what they" get as well. Telling these people that robbing or stabbing people is wrong wont help, since that isn't the problem, the just say "deserve what you get" because they know what they are doing is wrong.
> An employee in Boston must be paid $15/hr in some combination of tips and wages.

Now that, I have a huge problem with. The tips should not be counted toward satisfying the minimum wage. That turns what should be an expression of appreciation for the employee into me just subsidizing the employer's business. If the employer needs more money from me, they should be honest about it and raise their prices.

Up until Windows 95, WIMP could have been toppled by something acheivable and better. That was nearly 30 years ago, so maybe something better that couldn't be acheived back then is supressed by the status quo.

WIMP on hand held devices isn't great (ask early windows mobile). It's just too fiddly. But if touchscreen interfaces were better at a desk, we'd be doing that on desktops and laptops now. Touchscreens are readily available, it's just way more effective to have an interface that isn't occluded by using it.

Voice based interfaces clearlty work for some, but they're really fiddly for non-linear access.

> Gov wants to hold their eymployee pensions until 70?

No, they want to shift to the “full retirement age” (which is, oddly, not when maximum benefits apply) up to 70 – and consequently, reduce benefits at all ages – for Social Security, the public, almost-universal safety-net retirement program.
We are talking about Japan here. Clearly having to cross an ocean does not rule out an invasion. Not that I think that's relevant.

> Given labs obviously keep a library of natural viruses for research purposes

That isn't obvious at all. Culturing sarbecoviruses is very difficult. They have libraries of samples but they're dead and they just sequence the genomic material which is in the samples. Recovering viable virus is hard, culturing it is even more difficult.
Then why doesn’t the birth numbers in for example Sweden sit lower than Japan?

To be clear, I take offense to explaining stagnation with women’s rights. You have made an absurd claim and backed it up with a weak argument.

Tea shop is a more mild form. Lady bar scam is much more extreme I’ve heard. If a tout offers to take you ti one of those bars, don’t.
So we'd need to adjust our terminology a bit. I'm sure the world wouldn't end because of that.

It's always amusing to me how opponents of the idea of abolishing time zones assume that everything will stay the same, except, well abolishing of time zones. Apparently in the moment we do so, humanity will be become incapable of adjusting even the slightest. It will be impossible to invent a couple of new terms to let people communicate easily about time. It will be impossible to replace time zone maps and time zone aware clocks with ones that show regular office hours in different regions, &c.

For the record, I'm not even really for abolishing time zones, but the fact that the word "tomorrow" would become slightly less useful is not a particularly significant reason.
I've lived here (Tokyo and Kyoto) for about ten years and my Japanese is terrible. If you're in a big city here, English-only actually works. There are also some good channels and videos on YouTube talking about the Black experience in Japan (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2eqJ4hZkFg).

> For people who do have 401(k)s and similar, the “retirement” age determines when you can start withdrawing from your retirement funds

No, it doesn’t.

(I mean, yes, those programs do have an age that does that, but it is not the “retirement age” that is under discussion, which is the Social Security “full retirement age”, which is a separate thing from what you are talking about.)
I think its more to do with less societal pressure. People at higher income levels are having less kids as well.

I really have a love/hate relationship with Duolingo. I’ve been using it for supplementing my Japanese studies and at the more advanced levels it has become just so, so bad. There are no longer lessons - it’s just “remember these phrases”. Nothing about grammar. Nothing about words. It’s just rote memorization.

The only useful place for learning anything is from reading the forums for each exercise. Naturally Duolingo has since shut down the forums thus removing one of the only really useful outlets for asking questions and getting clarification on things.

Perhaps the worst thing of all though is the huge reliance on idioms. There are translations which are entirely idiomatic and have little do to with what’s actually on screen. I find this to be actively sabotaging to learning because you’re not actually learning what’s being said, you’re just being taught that “X means something like Y” even though none of the words or grammar really lines up.

I could go on and on about the low quality of the Japanese lessons. It doesn’t seem like other languages are quite this bad on Duolingo but it definitely makes me think twice about renewing my membership.

Give me a break here, how manu shitty chargers and cables are there by random android accessory makers. If you don't like MFI, go use android.

Apple is a luxury consumer brand, the luxury part can't be maintained if the user experience is similar to affordable and accessible brands.

If you can't afford to pay apple fees for MFI then you have no business making apple accessories and cables. People are not technically savvy enough to blame the accessory they will blame the phone itself for low battery life, not charging fast enough, acting shitty because of accesory power drain or malfunction,etc.... MFI is a brand protection scheme.
But it probably won't work. The highest birthrates are in poor countries. Every country that became rich(er) ended up with a drastic reduction in birth rates. Piling on more money doesn't seem like it would help the issue. It sounds like you would just enter into an ever-increasing spiral of more spending to try to increase birth rates.

I’d say it boils down to the following:
- humans can be selfish, or not
- humans are powering businesses and gouvernement bodies controlling them, so both can think long-term, global benefits or short term, own-benefits
- hence the need for control and/or transparency on decision making, whether it is a private company or a government body
- we all know the fiduciary duty of a CEO ; I’m wondering whether some kind of « long-term good » duty also exists for CEO or political deciders, making them accountable of the long-term consequences of their choices.

Our economy and politics are indeed favoring short-term gains by design and that is « simply » what should be controlled to a certain extent. Not easy as this should be a global move, otherwise the long-term advocates are likely to be outperformed by their short-term competitors and not have the time to implement fully their strategies.
> Government wants people to work till 70

No, A mostly-Republican group within government wants people to need to work until they die. Cutting Social Security benefits (which is what the “full retirement age” shift is about) and the other things discussed in the article are just what they think they might be able to get away with politically at the moment using the idea that they are “protecting” Social Security by addressing it’s fiscal health.

Major cities all have fantastic english signage. Just not everyone speaks English "well". But Line or Google Translate work fine enough, especially when making friends.
