He’s being downvoted (as are you) because he attributed complex systemic problems to moral failures, which is a lousy discursive tactic that makes the speaker feel superior but does nothing to actually fix the problem. In this case, “just do what people did in the past” is completely useless as actionable advice, because

- people are living much longer. There’s a considerable difference between caring for someone for 3 years versus 20

- people have fewer siblings and so the burden cannot be split up. Caring for an entire person by yourself is a colossal task, such that at market rates it can cost tens of thousands per year.

- economic precariousness means the consequences of dropping out of the workforce are more dire

None of this is addressed by snooty commandments to find God or family values. Remote work might indeed help, but even that just further proves my point— that came about because the pandemic forced it on us and any effects on the family are a happy externality, not because people made individual decisions about family values.
Indeed. Moreover some modern gas turbines can also 'burn' hydrogen, which will be 'green' (produced thanks to renewables' overproduction).
First is the obvious increase in complexity and fragility of websites requiring re-approval every 90 (or whatever) days. A personal website made of .html and other files in the past would last, literally forever. Now require HTTPS and ACME(1/2/whatever) based re-approval and at some point that complex stack of software (who's complexity is hidden from the user) will break. The website will become inaccessible and die. And not only does it make them more fragile but it makes setting up a website for the first time much more complex.

The second is more abstract but notice how literally everyone in this thread is recommending LetsEncrypt. That's great, and I love LE and I'm really glad they exist. But this is literally putting all our eggs in one basket. The increased centralization will inevitably lead to increased pressures, social, political, and otherwise on LE to censor, revoke permission, or otherwise cancel the accounts of law breaking websites. Like, say, a website for an abortion clinic that is now against the law in Texas. Switching to comodo when this happens won't fix it.

> The chatbot can only be as good as the website content. But this is also a good thing.

This is very interesting. It seems as though from the point of view of the site author, the chatbot's performance could be viewed as a "compiled/executable" version of the site's text. In the same way a software dev clicks Run to see the output, a writer could use the chat performance to look for gaps and bugs in the site copy.
The danger with this line of thinking is that it ignores the adaptability of humans, especially in younger years. None of us are fully rational actors, and all of us are influenced by what is around us. Sure, the degree will change based on a lot of factors and on the individuals positions - but even if you're staunchly against an idea, hearing it day in day out will over time affect your thinking, and not in a way you can consciously control.

Interestingly enough, this is even acknowledged in a lot of folksy wisdom (e.g. "you are what you eat", or the very common idea of parents that children shouldn't hang out "with bad crowds", although the definition of what this is differs between parents).

Maybe Poland is just one of the exceptions of doing things right. This is definitely not the case in most of Romania, and even Greece and Portugal from what I've heard. Sure you can work in tourism, but tourism wages pay complete dogshit unless you own the business.

Sure, not everyone does tech jobs, but here in Romania, the young here mostly want white collar jobs which automatically means moving to the 5 rich developed big cities of the country as those have corporate jobs with good benefits, good universities and also good schools and good healthcare facilities and good-ish infrastructure.

Living in smaller cities is pretty bad as your salaries would be much lower than the big cities but your rent not that much lower. And also now the schools suck and so do the hospitals due to the best teachers and doctors mostly wanting to live in the richer developed big cities, so having a family there is mostly out of the question.

So moving to a big city is a no brainer for the young. Almost nobody being born in a small cities will stay there as an adult. The entire country is being depopulated and either moving to western Europe or crowding in the same 5 big cities with jobs, universities, good-ish schools and good-ish infrastructure.

So you latch on to the outsourced part and complain about capitalism, or we could latch on to the government-funded part and complain about socialism.

I think more than capitalism v. socialism here the problem is that we are governed by filth who are looting public treasuries for themselves and their buddies.
> Children should take care of their parents as a general rule.

Your long drawn out comment doesn’t actually support your core argument, which can be shortened to one sentence, copied above.

In fact, it’s ironic that you’re calling out the author for being self-centered when you, yourself, are presupposing that your subjective family values are best without any rhyme or reason.
I live in Europe and a large part of my (extended) family works in the social sector and for all the good they do I can never shake the impression that the first to benefit from all these social programs is the people that organise them. Same thing with a lot of startup and business accelerators or professional networks they love to talk about how they are helping but I've learned that they do (almost) nothing for you and that it is better to invest your time in executing your own plan.
It felt that way back then, too, but at least you didn't lose your forecast when you synced with the home office and it went sideways.

Do you remember when SF passed a dumb tax law and Stripe had to move their office out of town? Then all the office workers had to go too (or go remote), then the completely obvious effect described above happened?

Some IT and some operations.

When UBS and Swissbank merged, the international businesses’ systems were “integrated” for the most part by trading positions across. UBS systems were mostly switched off in favour of their corresponding Swissbank systems.

In Switzerland it will no doubt be more complicated, but elsewhere I wouldn’t be surprised to hear the same thing happen again.
Yeah, doing it with kids is extra hard. I have friends in Berlin who moved to Prenzlauer Berg in like 2005 and got a great deal. At some point, with kids that apartment just didn't cut it any more, but they can't move too far for the reasons you mention, so they looked long and hard and accepted paying quite a bit more and moving to the other side of the Ring in Pankow. Not as nice, but close enough to keep the kids in the same schools.

I had hoped that remote work would relieve some of that pressure, but maybe it'll take a generation because many couples can't move anywhere because only one of them can work remotely, or because they don't want to uproot their kids. Not to mention that you'll still need a solid internet connection to work remotely, and that's still hit and miss if you go more rural. And if nobody wants to move to Saxony, the empty villages there don't really do anything on the supply side.

Ukraine war is one of my major interests. Not long after the takeover I found it 10x harder to see the people I followed who tweeted about Ukraine.

One notable vignette: Elon Musk called the Crimean handover “Kruschev’s mistake”. That’s a very specific statement steeped in Russian revanchism.

* One has to know Crimea used to be part of Russia

* One has to know Kruschev handed it over to Ukraine in the 1950s for an anniversary

* One has to believe this was wrong

* One has to ignore voting at Ukraine’s independence suggesting the inhabitants at the time wished to be part of Ukraine and not Russia

It suggests the comment was inspired through talking to a Russian revanchist. One would not get this interpretation from, say, Wikipedia.

That does sound like PTSD. My wife has it and this sounds very similar.
> In 2012, the federal government spent $668 billion to fund 126 separate anti‐ poverty programs.

This is simply not true or at best, misleading. The 2012 expenditure was $3.6 trillion, and 70% of that was defense, social security, medicare, and interest expense. You're saying more than half of the remaining spending for the entire government was anti-poverty? That makes zero sense.

I assume what you meant was 'authorized', and it was an amount spent over a long period of time. $20k per person, great. What percent actually gets to them? Maybe half at best? Great, so $10k. Over how many years? 5? Ok, so $2k a year at best estimates. Realistically it was less and over a longer period.

Cool, poverty is solved.
I have exactly the same dilemma. Both my parents are in their 70s and have difficulty moving anywhere except very short distances. Fortunately for me the country they live in provides decent health care and support for them - someone comes in to wash them and do household chores, and they order groceries online.

My relationship with my parents has eroded through the years, but they still really want me to come back and live with them so that I can help them out. My sister does some things (like driving them to the hospital when they need it) but she is developing her own mental issues due to the burden of caring for them. I don't live in the same country as them, and moving back would be effectively abandoning my wife and putting my entire life on hold for an indetermine amount of time. It's not something I want to do, but I feel very guilty about it if I don't, and I don't know if that's right. I don't know what the right answer is here.
I can imagine too
It's also notably harder to get to move up the economic ladder, the perception of employment stability, and trust in employment are dead in the American mind. My sister is a teacher who has a background in law, but she loves teaching. Sadly, teaching is what keeps her in poverty. It boggles my mind that those who craft new economic units are of some of the least paid.

Maybe even more perplexing is that wealth inequality is geographic of all things: https://itep.org/the-geographic-distribution-of-extreme-weal... This is in part due to the fact that we continue to tax income rather than wealth, and those of vying for scraps are among the first to champion such policies. That all ties back to the first thing I said, which is that economic fluidity is a long ladder now.
Yeah I agree. There are things you can’t change.

Living healthy to increase my health span is still something I can control and chose to do.
I think there were always people in history who just couldn’t make friends like others could, but now the internet is a (sort of) welcoming environment for those kinds of people born now. What incentive do they have to limit/replace the time they spend online? I’m still undecided with ADHD. I’m honestly inclined to say it’s also been around forever, but we only recently have a name for it and a way to identify those with it.

> Arguably then, from a truly omniscient perspective, nothing, not even the physical world, is truly random

Technicality or practicality? This is one of those mathematician vs engineer topics. I'm reminded of this lkml thread from a few years back.

https://lwn.net/ml/netdev/CAHk-=wiSw7zYVUxiGT=_TPx1fqtNNYgu0...
It is estimated that the state of California paid out more than $30 billion in fraudulent COVID related unemployment benefits. At this point these systems can be massively cheated when made easy (ie., no in-person application required). It has been estimated the 35% of unemployment claims are fraudulent[1]. Not just a few people unfortunately (or maybe just a few doing a huge amount of fraud, but fraud is a big problem).

True. There's a whole debate about determinism in the universe, which includes radioactive decay. It's just one of those things that's considered roughly as random as it gets.
This presents a highly complex challenge. It is really not so simple.

Consider San Francisco, for instance. As a city with predominantly liberal and Democratic values, it is surprising that public schools have been closed throughout the year. And we all know how that had significant negative impact on underserved and economically disadvantaged children.

While some fortunate children have responsible and hardworking parents that just take kids with them leave them in the car while they clean houses (first hand experience), this is not the case for the majority: not supervision at all.

Addressing this issue is far from straightforward. When attempted to raise concerns, I was may labeled as anti-science and trumpy. I also mentioned that private schools have managed to remain open, their effor was to close them rather than finding solutions to support public education.

I really do not know and I think nobody who is not poor cares. Regardless what they say.
Searching for similar stats are all just people bitching about the welfare state, it seems like a completely made up stat.
The article agrees, but of course it’s making a slightly different point and talking about what kinds of randomness are practically or even theoretically predictable today given what we know. Since nobody knows how to predict radioactive decay, it’s currently considered “truly” random, but its status could change in the future.

“Arguably then, from a truly omniscient perspective, nothing, not even the physical world, is truly random—it is in the nature of causality that everything that happens has a chain of prior events that caused it. But in practice, for most real-world randomness, obtaining such an omniscient perspective is infeasible to the point of being impossible.”
If you click the link in the blog post with the text “firewalls need adjustments to let 'QUIC' traffic through”, it seems like there is some of the latter as well. Well, not holding off on allowing it through their network, per se, but being worried that their overly complex firewall setup hasn’t been properly adjusted to allow it through their network in all cases.

I don't even require "native" in the sense of a look and feel identical to that of the platform-specific GUI framework provided by the vendor of that platform… that would indeed be an additional layer of difficulty for a cross platform framework… and the degree to which the different cross-platform toolkits with an own rendering manage to mimick it is quite variable. But I don't even need that. I'm fine with the widgets/UIs of my applications having their own styling that, while (apart from my own special widgets) staying close enough to be understandable by everyone, don't totally closely match the exact current style / "look&feel" of the apps of the platform vendors.

What I did mean with "native" in my last comment was simpler than that: I just meant "native" as in: not a web app or similar detached via abstraction layers and bundled with a browser that interprets it, but a natively compiled app that is directly linked to the rendering GUI lib. That would even be enough for me. But even for that, I find there isn't a satisfying cross-platform solution.

UBS needs so long to take a shit that there's hardly room for their next meal.

I'm not particularly up to date on the literature, but it seems soft compared to other popular recreational drugs like illicit cocaine, methamphetamine, benzodiazepines and opiates. On the legal side it's clearly softer than alcohol, and probably less harmful than smoking tobacco.

For cannabis specifically it's worth also mentioning in many places you can consume it without interacting with criminals or being at risk of negative law enforcement interactions. This makes it socially softer than the illegal drugs.
