> Something has caused depression to spike in children worldwide. What could it be?

Maybe the state of the world around them? Look at the world. Young millenials and gen z have no future. Politicians and boomers are fucking us over in every possible way. The world is running towards a rise of 4.4°C by 2100, we'll never be able to retire, we're in a situation where years of training and a degree still only get you unpaid internships, how could we possibly be happy in such a situation?

All social media did was show us we're not alone. In a situation where all the adults around you calmly live in the fire and say "this is fine", knowing you're not crazy, knowing you're justified in being worried, is empowering.
The longitudinal factor is essential in this though. Teen mental health issues skyrocketed since 2012. That's really the whole point of his rebuttal of Proposition 1.

OP probably means that we should focus on infrastructure like dams and nuclear power, to mitigate the at this point probably unavoidable damage.

There should be less emphasis on policing individual behaviour (turn the AC down etc.), which is arguably almost completely a distraction from quantitatively relevant issues and provides cover from political inaction.

It's a fair point, and some of the context that's missing for the LLM is just present in the background for humans. You wouldn't need to be told, it would be whether you were in an acting class or creative writing class (these are weak examples).

I consider everything longer than 15 minutes a lot. 80 minutes away by car is enormous, that's 160 minutes to your friend and back, even 40 minutes is a lot. It just kills spontaneity and increases work. I don't want travel for 40 minutes after an exhausting day, I want to meet a friend in a 5 to 10 minutes time, 20 max, and complain about how stupid my day was while enjoying the last rays of sunshine (at least in the summer...).

In 40 minutes I could have already met a friend after 10 minutes and talked 30 minutes and start to head home again!

SUVs are another example of extreme private waste.

I have a lot of sympathy for the individual decisions of my neighbours to purchase range rovers so they don't have to endure the discomfort of potholes. However, it'd be much more efficient if we could somehow crowdfund that same expenditure towards improving the road surface so that all vehicles feel stable.

Unfortunately general taxation is quite unsuccessful at fixing these infrastructure issues because resources always get allocated to whatever stakeholders have the most political power. No matter how big a government budget gets all the money seems to get absorbed into defence, healthcare, education, pensions and general administration.
Okay but how are we supposed to get teen girls not to compare themselves to the looks of global stars?

This existed before social media. At best I can see it being a catalyst here and so sure limit or ban social media (at least for under 18s ~ 25s, whatever we agree on is a developed adult brain).

Lowering the percentage of teens with mental health issues is a good thing.

However that doesn't stop teens from comparing their looks to their peers, adults they know, and obviously global media (magazines, billboards, films, music, etc; what 'successful' women look like on cable news). How are the underlying cause for these negative feelings going to be addressed?
Agreed!
PLEASE don't spend $100k+ on your degree. I think there are very few fields that put a lot of weight on WHERE you went to college (to a certain extent; you don't want to go too low with some fly-by-night school).
You can get a good degree from a state or local university and save a lot of student debt.
And try to get an internship. Or else volunteer somewhere to get some work experience.

this glued to devices meme is tired. look at a picture of folks on public transport from before phones. note that _everyone_ is reading a newspaper or magazine. i know it seems crazy, but humans reading information is a constant in public, and the only reason you didn't see more of it in the past is that you were part of the group consuming media, while also assigning intellectual value to the fact that a periodical is 'printed on paper' as if destroying a tree to make paper legitimizes the content in some way that a digital download of the same content can't.

This is the case with any other declarative programming system: while you only care about "what", i.e. the end result matching your declarative specification, you are living a dream. Once you need to fine-tune the details of how you get there (e.g. performance, resource use), or tweak the end result in a way that is not easy to describe within the constraints of your declarative dream land, things get ugly pretty quickly. Query hints in some SQL dialects, vendor-specific hacks in HTML/CSS, Kubernetes YAML templating, etc. are all sad stories about it.

Although personally I am very concerned about AGW, I think the dismissals that talking about climate change is causing some "existential crisis" among young people are BS.

Whenever I hear that theory, it's always an armchair hypothesis. But you could actually go and ask young girls what they are anxious about and how they deal with it. I think proponents of that theory, if they want to dismiss social media effects on personal self-esteem, should do exactly that - it's on them to prove that is the actual concern of girls committing suicide. I highly doubt they will find more significant evidence.

I've worked low pay jobs. Restaurant, lifeguard and data entry. Nothing too hard but I have some sense. It doesn't sound like you have much experience and you're going off antidotes you hear on Reddit. Correct me if I'm wrong

But with businesses that rely on low wage jobs the edge of running the business is being an effective manager. Open a McDonald's franchise. They'll set you up such that it's basically turnkey. So what makes one McDonald's manager successful and another not? Managing low wage employees. That means not creating a toxic environment and treating them fairly so they don't leave so quickly. Managers spend hours training new employees. There's no benefit to being toxic or unreasonable because like you admitted, they'll leave. If someone leaves mid shift it means you're stuck working the register and their entire shift for the next few weeks till you find a train a replacement. It's also more paperwork to fill out to hire someone and get them setup in the system. You're delusional if you think managers don't care

People who think you can treat low wage workers poorly obv never been around low wage workers

Your argument is inconsistent. People don't leave because they need the job. But they leave jobs a lot because toxic managers. And managers are fine with being toxic because it costs them nothing to hire people and there's no distribution when people walk off.

I have solidarity with other people. The difference is I don't look down on them and remove their autonomy.
Assembly isn't very fun, but maybe reading an old book on assembly for an old 8- or 16-bit cpu will satisfy your curiosity.
Sure, I agree, but there are likely standard approaches, especially in the older trades, where the development is making ~1 decision and then measuring.

Like if the carpenter is installing some shelves, they are most likely picking a shelving system or approach they know how to work with and measuring for fit, not coming up with a brand new way to mount shelves. They might come up with a new way, it just isn't all that likely.

Yeah I like KDE more, but switching to KDE doesn't fix the lack of out of the box HW acceleration in browser for video playback. It doesn't fix the lack of hibernate support. It doesn't fix the Wayland/X11 compromises. It doesn't fix the battery life. It doesn't fix the touchpad gestures(Gnome is better here). It doesn't (fully) fix fractional scaling (still better than Gnome but far from the perfection of Windows). And it's still janky/buggy from time to time, once you get over the honeymoon period, compared to the stability of the Windows DE.
Because the absence of a "DoNotTrack" header does not imply that a user has consented to being tracked, as a user may be using a browser that doesn't support "DoNotTrack". Nor does the setting of a "DoNotTrack" header necessarily correspond to a specific user, as it may have been set by a administrator policy. Nor would it be informed consent, as it is configured before the user has been informed as to the uses for which private data will be applied.

The GDPR requires that consent be informed, explicit, freely-given, and limited to a specific use case. Of these, the "DoNotTrack" header could be at most freely-given. Its design as a binary yes/no that can be configured across all sites prevents it from ever being used as a way to grant permission to track.

While the presence of "DoNotTrack=1" could be used to assume that no permission to track has been granted, this is already the default assumption that the GDPR requires companies to make.

This is getting too far into the weeds on judging Ptolemy's intentions and motivations. It also applies more modern standards of scientific rigour to work that was done before they existed. This is a common anachronism (and fallacy) people make throughout history.

the heliocentric view was known long before Ptolemy

I am aware that Aristarchus of Samos put forth a heliocentric view. Unfortunately for him, it wouldn't be until the development of Kepler's Laws (ca. 1609-1619) that a heliocentric model could be made to yield better predictions (in all cases) than the Ptolemaic model.

Yes, even though Copernicus developed the more modern heliocentric theory (before 1543) he could not reduce the errors in his predictions because he held onto the assumption of perfect circular orbits dating back to Plato. Few astronomers at the time accepted his theory, and even Tycho Brahe (who you cite) constructed his own model which was mathematically equivalent to Copernicus's but placed the Earth at the centre of the system.
I'm not sure about what you're asking, but taking a guess: I think that it's safer to have children raised by a larger amount of figures (primarily the parents, but also grandparents in a multi-generational household, other relatives if they exist, family friends - this would have been other people in the tribe or village traditionally - etc.).

Having all the responsibility fall on two mostly unsupervised, inexperienced people is fragile and "traditional" gender roles do not alleviate this.

You are describing a commonly shared sentiment of today. This spike started nearly a decade ago, long before our current economic situation materialized.

To your point, who largely gets to decide which news stories get aggregated and which don't? Who has an outsized influence in shaping people's realities? By many metrics, times are tough, but by many other metrics, we are living in prosperous times as well.
Technically maintaining your Tailscale ACLs is the same as maintaining “firewall rules”. If you’re allowing any-any on your tailnet you are in a world of hurt if any endpoint gets compromised by e.g. ransomware.

We use Tailscale at $dayjob and the fact that we can ensure that marketing machines can’t access any engineering resources is the big win. And it “just works” through NAT.

That sentiment is only valid for a specific world demographic, I’d say Western people under 40 years of age (which also greatly matches this forum’s users, I would say). But as Eastern European guy in my early 40s I certainly do not match that “doom” feeling, and looking around at people my age and older (like my parents) I would say that lack of trust in the coming climate Apocalypse is shared.

Not the OP, however I have programmed in C++ since 1987 across many different operating systems and hardware platforms and I've literally never heard of a compiler that implements template stuff using runtime dispatch. CFront3 which was I think the first real template implementation that most people used certainly never did it that way, neither did any version of gcc, visual studio or Sun Workshop, which are the compliers I used the most from that period. Dug out my old copy of Coplien[1] which is from the early 90s and it discusses runtime dispatch in depth in the context of vtables and virtual function pointers and the cost of these things, so the concept was well understood but not a cost anyone was paying with templates.

That is the case in most countries with universal healthcare.

Very few countries restrict your ability to pay extra for "top up" insurances and services.

E.g. in the UK about 10% have private insurance. These tend to be cheap because they basically expect you to use NHS for emergencies, and to try to go to your NHS doctor first, but ask for private referrals if there are waits on the NHS, or for "extras" like regular comprehensive checkups.

The NHS itself is also allowed to offer some extras. E.g. many NHS trusts runs private clinics to maximize utilisation.

If you've got a bone to pick with planners, then you're drawing the wrong distinction.

They don't care about rural/farm vs urban/business.

They care about tax revenue and voters.

It's always going to be an uphill battle making the argument that $ tax revenue / acre farmland is more important than $$$ tax revenue / acre sub/urban use. And due to density that farmland represents one family of voters vs the >1 an equivalent urban footprint would impact.

I can imagine during covid the conditions were awful. But on a day to day basis the hospitals are pretty quiet.

The hospitals don’t do more tests. It’s more people taking advantage of their health card. For example our daughter was in hospital for ~7 days. It cost $65 USD.

People get health check ups often cos it costs almost nothing. Visiting a clinic costs $5~ and people often want antibiotics when they have a cold even when advised it won’t help as it’s a virus not bacterial.
No one really talks about it but I think it is a symptom of bad parenting. How many times have people sat their kid down and explained these Hollywood types are not the average looking person?
