But that covers your healthcare. No copays, deductibles, flat rate for all prescriptions of £9.50 per item (or £10.40 a month for 10 months for a prepayment certificate that covers as many items as needed).

Insurance is also less, both contents and car insurance. Utilities a lot lower (fast internet for £30 a month, sim only contract with 50GB of 5G data for £15 a month).

There is this strange idea that the UK is super expensive, and whilst not cheap, a lot of things are decidedly cheaper in the UK than they are in the US.

Also student loans - universities are capped at £9250 per year, so you've not got hundreds of thousands in student loan debt to pay off either.

I was issued a Brother by the US Department of Veterans Affairs and it burned through ink cartridges, I took a semester off and the ones in the printer went bad without me printing anything; when the yellow ink ran out it refused to print in black and white even though I had plenty of black ink. Eventually it stopped working because of something to do with the drivers even though I never changed anything.

I'm glad your experience, and the experiences of others here, seem to be better but I can't help but reflect on the variance every time I read an HN poster relating about their positive Brother experience since my own experience was so different.

> with the kids themselves never learning how to set their own limits or prepare for independence as actual adults

To some extent this is not how parenting works. This is like giving heroin to an addict and letting them learn to set their own limits unattended.

In practice, supervising addiction helps control it. Kids need some kind of supervision. It's much harder to get a kid to reduce screentime if they're used to unlimited screentime.
Poverty is a moving target. The level of absolute deprivation that was moderately common in the 60s is virtually unknown today.

Going for a broader conversation with ChatGPT on linguistics, semantics, cognitive load, and contextually education, might be faster than finding papers. It may get you to a point where you can get accurate citations, or at least authors.

The nature of your request makes Google rather unsuitable, unfortunately.

Then there's my dad. I had to fight him to apply for benefits when he became disabled. While waiting at the benefits office I overheard one person behind the glass say to the person working with us "you going to get those crackers [a slur for white people] some cheddar [slang for money]?" He was ultimately denied and, of course, didn't appeal - he just identified deeply with the rejection.
I think 3D printers are close to the useful maximum. Most problems they have left are expensive to solve.

* One problem is rigidity/vibration. This is solved by lots of rigid mass, which isn't consumer friendly. It makes for a big, heavy, expensive machine.

* Another problem is the lack of feedback. This is solved by having accurate sensing of positioning. This costs money.

* Another problem is temperature management. This requires an enclosure and parts that don't mind the heat. This takes space and costs money.

* Another problem is extrusion consistency. This either requires very accurately manufactured plastic as an input, or excellent sensing of what's going into the extruder. This also costs money.

And most of these are polish on top. Like you can drop $700 on a very decent printer, or you could spend $5000 on one that mostly does the same thing, except is less fiddly because it's got a lot more steel and sensors in it. That makes sense if you're running a business, not so much if you rarely want to make stuff out of plastic.

Some of these are being slowly addressed in quite unorthodox ways. Eg, some sensing issues are being addressed with fancy motor drivers that can tell when the motor has gotten stuck.

There's also that resin gets way better precision and fixes many of these issues for way cheaper. It's got its own downsides of course, but it does mean that the amount of people who really need a very solid FDM printer is smaller than you might think.

I'm not an expert on poverty, but I don't think it's as simple as concluding that anti poverty programs are a waste of money. For one, looking at the cumulative amount over time is a pointless metric. Second, we cannot deny that a lot of people were genuinely helped by these measures and managed to climb out of poverty and start giving back to society. Third, poor Americans still have a superior standard of living than most of the world. American poverty is its own league.

"Even if you're stuck in the bottom 5% of the US income distribution your standard of living is about equal to that of the top 5% of Indians. Even if you're in the bottom 10% your standard of living is about the same as that of the bottom 10% in other rich countries (which, so we are told, care so much more and do so much more) like Sweden and Finland. And when we sweep everything together into some sort of quality of life measure the American poor are better off than the French or German poor."

The Poorest 20% of Americans Are Richer on Average Than Most European Nations

https://fee.org/articles/the-poorest-20-of-americans-are-ric...

"A groundbreaking study by Just Facts has discovered that after accounting for all income, charity, and non-cash welfare benefits like subsidized housing and food stamps, the poorest 20 percent of Americans consume more goods and services than the national averages for all people in most affluent countries. This includes the majority of countries in the prestigious Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), including its European members. In other words, if the US “poor” were a nation, it would be one of the world’s richest."

Also, official data on US poverty may overestimate the problem.

"US low-income households greatly underreport both their income and non-cash benefits"

"There has been “a sharp rise” in the underreporting of government benefits received by low-income households in the United States. This “understatement of incomes” masks “the poverty-reducing effects of government programs” and leads to “an overstatement of poverty and inequality.”"
Glad to see this getting talked about. The real meaningful wealth gap in our society is between the HN poster income bracket and the poor, not the one between HN poster income bracket and the billionaires. But the latter seems to get all the attention. Can't imagine why.

No because screens are terrible for your mental health. Most kids will sit there 24 hours a day if no one teaches them self control. Screens destroy relationships, health, and most of your existence if you have no self control which 90% of people don't.
No, most browsers do allow configuring this, but it’s no longer a simple “click through a warning”. Maybe that means the death of the personal website run by someone who refuses to get a certificate which chains to something publicly trusted and compliant with CA/B baselines, but I’d argue that’s actually a good thing — we would obviously disagree on this but I view this as removing easy ways for end users to do insecure things.
Put another way, the government has funded programs, programs that do well to perpetuate the programs, but too little to actually address the problem they were created to address.

It's the Poverty Industrial Complex.

That aside, with regards to the data / statistics you've sited, my understanding is, many experts believe the income levels set by the government to define the poverty line are artificially low. If the line was more realistic the poverty rate would be much higher.

If this is even a slight bit true, then the government's "war on poverty" is another lost war.

Good parents raise food kids.

Good families find a good way of handling this topic.

Everyone else might just not have good parents.

And therefore he is not 100% correct.

It's not the duty of a child to take care of parents. They didn't ask me if I wanted to be born....
This seems too low as a cost estimate. Perhaps because they have buying power that a private individual couldn’t match, or a structural surplus due to workforce demographics, or maybe it’s just rosy accounting.

Seems the current scheme lets you buy/stack, each year, a recurring annual pension worth 2.35% of your current salary (pays out every year after retirement). So with a salary of 57k, you would pay something like 4k this year to secure £1340 (inflation linked) every year of retirement.

That’s insanely good value if you don’t have so many years left. I suppose if you have 20 years left, and you get an extra 10k private sector salary, and invest that for retirement, then it maybe breaks even with 7% compounding growth, but even then you have to contend with inflation and market risk. I think the fair value is more like an extra 20-30k salary.
Consider that some don't want their parent's values passed on to the grandchildren. While I want my kids to have quality time with their grandparents, I absolutely do not want my children to become indoctrinated with "believing without seeing", climate-change apathy, hate those born different, men don't do housework, women don't fix cars, pull the ladder up behind you, etc.

Living separately provides some much needed space and helps maintain some healthy boundaries.

And when my kids are adults I'd rather they visit me than have to care for me. Or even that I die before developing total dependence on others, especially if it means dementia.

Yup, what’s more, is that people who are not trying to help have inserted themselves into the money flow.

Take the intensive case management for instance. If you are severely disabled and in need of assistance, the state will pay for a case manager to help you with life.

Case managers are paid $7 an hour when alone, $14 with a client. When they are with a client, they are instructed to do mostly paperwork. The goal here is to not actually help people, but to fill out paperwork in proximity to them to collect state funds, while paying social workers peanuts without benefits. So the case manager helping the impoverished is herself, financially insecure.

So where is all the money going?

A company manages the case managers, and they pocket the bulk of state funds. The management, board, and directors all live in very large houses and drive very expensive cars. Case managers drive 2002 Honda Accords without AC or a radio. Clients live in squalor, just happy to have someone doing their paperwork nearby. This is the American caste system.

So I think you can see, even when we fund social services, the money still ends up in the hands of the wealthy. It’s just what capitalism is designed to do.
Not just the speed, but the memory use.

A popular approach for Python web serving is to launch a number of "workers" (eg via gunicorn, etc), that hang around waiting to serve requests.

Each one of these workers in recently running code (here) idled using ~250MB of non-shared memory. With about 40 workers needed to handle some fairly basic load. :(

Rewrote the code in Go. No need for workers (just using goroutines), and the whole thing idles using about 20MB of memory, completely replacing all those Python workers. o_O

This doesn't seem to be all that unusual for Python either.

If there's one thing I hate, is other people preaching to you about how you should spend your time.
"screens are terrible for your mental health"

You have to use a lot of screentime for an effect to be shown. And the studies are always showing correlations, not causations.

As an example, if you're a poorer family, with no time to spend 1-1 with your kids because you work 3 jobs. Are screens the root cause? Or is poverty the root cause?
That article suggests high taxes are the reason for the increase in poverty from 1964 to 2012 yet taxes on the top tax bracket were cut in half over that period.

It's clear as night and day that the reason why wealth inequality and poverty has been skyrocketing over the last 50 years is due to plummeting tax rates on the wealthy.

On this topic: I've encountered multiple small business websites that have a spam JavaScript redirect that on a referral from google.com -- if you go directly to the website (as the business owner or the GoogleBot might), everything is fine, if you click out from Google you get served either a small page with nothing both the JavaScript redirect, or the page with the JavaScript redirect prepended.

Some variants of this use cookies to only serve the redirect on the first click from Google, so if you're like "weird" and try again, everything looks fine the second time.

You can see the problem if you curl such a URL with Google as the referrer.

I'll be spending 90% of my waking hours out at my farm starting probably next week depending on the weather.

I feel sorry for people who don't get to experience 8am in an open field with the sun shining. Little rabbits bouncing around. The sweet smell of the grass. The earth between your toes.

Dew-kissed field wakes,

Morning sun, golden embrace,

Birds trill, wind whispers,

Nature's symphony begins,

Soft grass, a canvas of peace.

> Landlords in poorer areas earn “basically double” those in more affluent districts — an extra $50 per apartment per month, after expenses. The outperformance, calculated from national surveys, held even when researchers factored in faster price rises in richer areas.
“The reason is that property values, mortgages and taxes are much lower in downmarket neighbourhoods, but rents aren’t that much lower,” says Desmond.
There are caveats: the relationship is not true in a few top cities, such as New York, but does apply to places like Indianapolis and Buffalo, where “most folks live in America”. Landlords in poorer areas do experience greater variability in profits: some take large losses because their tenants default.

So the last sentence acknowledges the greater risk of renting in poorer areas. Now if you have even a basic economic understanding, you realize that higher risk investments need to offer higher returns. If renting in rich areas offered the same return as investing in poor areas with lower risk, you would have a lot fewer rentals in poor areas.
Completely agree. Social norms are shifting and people are becoming more individualistic.

Sure, if your parents weren’t good to you, and you have other constraints then don’t look after your parents.

But the general case should be based on looking after them as you say.
I'm on the computer almost constantly (although not quite, I do see friends, clean around the house, play/design board games, read books, walk and play with the dogs, etc), but that doesn't translate to always being online.

Technically my computer is, but I might not be doing anything actively online. I might be coding something (which requires looking things up online, but only sometimes), or working on the graphic design in Illustrator for one of my board game designs, or composing music, or playing old tv shows I have copies of on my computer in the background while I do other things, etc.

It still feels like I'm online a lot though, and a lot less productive in my personal projects than I could be. I keep trying to reduce it, but any effort I've made in the past doesn't seem to last very long.
It's easier to take care of a parent when they had 5-6 children, not when you're the single one.

And to add to that, I am a single child. Knowledge that I'll be never able to leave my country or even my city because I'll have to take care of my parents isn't really uplifting.

> “If the top 1 per cent of income earners just paid the taxes they owed, the country would raise an additional $175bn a year. That’s almost enough money to fill the poverty gap.” But to blame the 1 per cent alone is too easy and too “absolving”, and Desmond has a “reflex against things that absolve us”. He points to the broader chunk of the American population — perhaps the richest quarter, many of them avowed liberals — who hoover up tax credits, demand cheap goods and oppose the construction of affordable housing where they live.

> In other words, if poverty is the result of individual decisions, it is largely decisions by the rich. Desmond wants the wealthy to “take less” in exchange for a safer, fairer, less anxious society. Are they ready to listen?

In graphs across many dimensions, America is an outlier and not an exceptional one. First we have to actually want to fix it. Then we need to figure out a mechanism.

The mechanisms are the easy part.
It doesn't matter if the energy efficiency rating is based on local standards when the costs aren't. Again, there is absolutely no sense blowing 20-30k on energy renovating a house that is worth 80k.

If you don't think binding 5% of the entire country's budget for 10 years into upgrading old houses is an manic proposition I think we can safely agree there isn't a way for us to see this from the same angle and we can agree to disagree on this topic.

$20,610 is ~$1717/mo.

I’ve been poor. I deal with chronic pain and, for a long while, it rendered me unable to work.

First: $1717 is a very low amount of money to live on.

I covered my costs in about $1200/mo while I received from room and board from family. It was extremely difficult to get my spending down to that, I had to default on loans and I expect it will take the better part of a decade to build credit again.

Second: how does one obtain this $20,610? I was denied virtually every social program I tried to sign up for. I was only able to cover my costs thanks to the charity of others.

It’s a good use case and the one that got me started. I also have a raspberry pi acting as an exit node in my home which is useful when I’m at the coffee shop or in a hotel.

Yes and no. They may both be called "printers" but they are entirely different things. 3D printers have more in common with CNC machines than with office printers.

They are certainly useful machines, I was skeptical at first but I finally got one and found many uses for it. Some are more reliable than others, but you still have to think of them as tools like you find in a workshop, or a sewing machine, and that need some skill and involvement to operate. They are also best used as such. The biggest value in 3D printers is to make things that don't exist to fit your specific needs, they are no replacement for mass production, in the same way people usually don't use an office printer to print a book they can find at a local bookstore, and this is will never be one click easy, just as writing a book is not easy.
