Carpentry I guess, if it had to be non-computer based. Maybe electronics?

But I already spend a lot of time doing board game design and used to be better about writing. I can do both to an extent without a computer, but I can type a lot faster and with less stress on my hands than with pen and paper, and at some point with board games I have to do graphic design, design/type up a manual, sell sheets, how to play videos, a Tabletop Simulator version (so publishers can test with their teams, that are often not all local anymore, or so I can utilize online playtest groups), and that's just for me pitching the game to a publisher, I'm not even manufacturing the game.

So ideally I'd probably be doing board game design supplemented with writing. Although it's super difficult to make good money with those (not impossible, but very difficult).

I just read a tweet this morning from a pretty well known game designer in the hobby board game industry (Jonny Pac), and he made $22k doing it full-time last year (and $10k! the previous year). And his business and travel expenses were $10k (you have to go to a lot of conventions to network and pitch to publishers if you want a decent chance at having your games signed), so he netted $12k last year[1].

So yeah, don't choose board game design if you care about making money to support your family.

It’s all good.

I think the funniest one I struggle with all the time is “parallel.” I always think it should be “paralell.” I put the two parallel lines in the wrong spot in the word!
If the link is satire, it's indeed quite opaque. For panpsychists it is a legitimate question that, if explored, helps clarify the levels of awareness and agency that occur in different objects vis a vis conscious experience.
Have been pondering the same question. A hobby of mine is cooking, but turning a hobby into a job might remove all the fun.

Especially considering the restaurant industry is exhausting. Have a few friends who are chefs and they do genuinely enjoy it and are passionate. not sure if I could do that though.
Is it really so surprising that we don't (as a rule) have electric kettles? I think the reasons are pretty clear.

First, Americans are mostly coffee drinkers, not tea drinkers. The coffeedrinkers are mostly using coffee machines that heat the water for you, so you don't need a kettle to do it. This is true from the low-end $30 drip machine to multi-thousand-dollar espresso machines.

Second, America is on 110, not 220. Kettles in the UK do boil CRAZY FAST, but the electric kettles I've used in the US aren't really any faster than using a stovetop kettle. American tea-drinkers often have those.
One of the trades, whichever looks interesting and has high shortage. For example, electricians.

I quite enjoy woodworking, but I don't know how feasible it would be to turn that into a career.
$7.5 an hour? Is it still that low in places? Around here, the lowest you will see is $17/hr.
Electrician or plumber? Gotta make $$$ for the family and these seem to be in need always.
Let's admit it: The real issue, here, is that after fighting so hard to push out migrant labour, there's now a cheap labour shortage, and instead of fixing the migrant labour system to be fair, equitable, transparent, and sustainable, they're opting for child labour instead because, hey, at least they're good, red-blooded American child labourers.

I do not believe any rational argument will appease. Risk can be objectively measured but people vote their feelings. This bill is being used to avoid raising wages to draw adult labor into the state's marketplace for manufacturing, agriculture, and other objectively higher risk industries. These young workers will be harmed, and they will have no recourse (as typically happens in America).
There is no evidence, just speculation, that they were under arrest. They both said they were not.

What are you on about?

Tiktok is about information control. Tiktok which is a China based org is gaining ground in USA is threatening american control over the narrative.

Remember how everyone voted to boot parler suddenly?

Doesn't China do same for american companies?

The point here is about e2ee and backdoors. Nothing else.

Your points about al Jazeera america are why?

Tiktok?

Does matrix work in China and russia? Do they comply there?

Does american govt access other nations data with american companies which forced gdpr rules among others?

Aren't signal fanboys claiming "no data to share" so why isn't that app used by terrorists in america? Why isn't that blocked there
It'd be a reasonable guess that more people will hear about this on Joe Rogan's podcast than on Fox News. If Tucker Carlson starts a podcast it is plausible more people will be deciding their opinions based on what he says than based on what Fox News says.

We are fortunate to live in an era when groups like the CRTC are incapable of silencing opinions that they disagree with. Still distasteful though.
Here's a rational argument. Roofing in particular is one of the most dangerous, demanding and environmentally harsh trades in the construction industry. Just as there is an age below which most children's bodies are not ready to begin heavy weight lifting, there is an age below which most children's bodies are not prepared to handle roofing.

The problem is that consumers will pay twice: once with their time, and then again through the product which is now more expensive because of ads.

(And then again with their personal private information, and by buying not the thing they really needed but something that had more advertising budget behind it, ...)
For the benefit of the bystander: this person actually has no idea what energy seen planning looks like in real life. Economic optimization is absolutely at the core of it. Energy System Models (Essen) are economic optimization models. Depending on country and climate, the factor of the sibling comment of 50% is absolutely realistic.

Also these details don't really matter: Storage is a viable solution to the problem that Renewables are not dispatch able. The only argument against storage could be economic: That the inefficiencies and cost of storage render nuclear cheaper after all.
Because you can’t actually restrict access to online content. Also, “restricting a child’s ability to work” is a funny way of framing a policy goal of keeping children engaged in education instead of being exploited as cheap labor.
Electrical work, particularly high-end commercial/industrial. Well-paid, lots of the same structured reasoning/debugging as code, and demand is exploding.
In the last 2 years I've seen companies go from hyping cryptocurrencies to metaverse and now to AI. And each time they announce it as if it's the be all end all and they're going all in with the new tech and it will change everything.

I can't help but sense the desperation the 3rd time around, I think a lot of these companies get swept up in the hype because they don't really have a sense of where they are going.

It's like the growth has ran out or something.
Please forgive a tangent on this terrible news, but do Google and Waymo share the same office building in NYC?

No Right Turn on Red Is Now the Default [for New Projects] in Seattle
The notable part, to me:

“The memo cites a recent study, published in the journal of the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE), looking at Washington, D.C.’s implementation of no-turn-on-red restrictions at 100 intersections in 2019. Driver-to-driver conflicts were reduced by 97%, and vehicle-pedestrian conflicts were reduced by 92% following the installation of consistent no-turn-on-red (NTOR) signage.”
Is this an attempt at being edgy? The relationships between the companies and their host governments is not the point, its the differences between those governments that matters. Just one example of the difference is the Chinese government has camps for ethnic groups it doesn't like.
>Why do you need to make it illegal for everyone else?

Because 16 and 17 year olds aren't adults and in a position to make that call? Just because a parent might be ok with them operating a saw / take the risks doesn't mean the child should take that risk.

Child labor historically speaking involved parents sending their kids to work.
Metalworking, in particular small-scale CNC (heading towards watchmaking, but probably not starting there.) I wouldn't completely eliminate the "computer" component, but ditching the CNC aspect is certainly a possibility if I were to develop an incurable hate of computers.

Already doing it (to a limited degree) for my hobby electronics projects, e.g. to make custom heatsinks.
How do I know this conversation thread isn't generated by AI? also let's stop calling it intelligence. Its software that has been programmed. Don't forget that guys and gals.

Well if they don't want the rest of the world's money, that's alright. Someone else will get it instead.
> Except of course it might rain.

You're not made of sugar and neither is the bike. Rain gear exists just like it does for walking.

> Or it might be too sunny/hot.

On an eBike it's usually more comfortable than walking due to the breeze.

> Or you might need to carry kids.

Cargo bikes, trailers and kids seats. Carrying kids on bikes is easy. Certainly better for them to be outside in fresh air with a good view. The older kids ride themselves of course.

> Or carry shopping/parcels.

Cargo bikes, trailers, baskets, panniers, backpacks, etc. You honestly cannot argue that bikes can't carry things.

> Or you might need to go faster than an ebike can legally go (12mph).

At least in Europe they're limited to 25km/h, or 16mph. With traffic lights, stop signs and congestion you may very well be going slower than that on average in a car.

There are of course reasons people can't/don't use a bike for something: Poor infrastructure, lacking safety enforcement (from cars & thieves), anti-convenience laws like helmet mandates, super long distances, super heavy/large cargo, impassable terrain, good public transit, horrendous weather, etc. You might note that pretty much all of those apply to cars as well.
Again, extremely weird rhetoric. Even at its current size, Hackernews is orders of magnitude smaller and radically different economically, socially and politically. It is absolutely bizarre to compare the two in terms of content in the context of a discussion explicitly about TikTok's relationship with political and economic forces.
Until ads stop coming with tracking, I will whitelist nothing. There are no sites so precious that I'm willing to subject myself to surveillance for them.
No. That was the mechanism the cigarette companies used to deny they were causing heart disease. It turns out there’s really no such thing as a Type A personality. Those were just smokers.

Non-profits are not charities (though some are). It is just a business model. The fucking NFL is a non-profit organization.

Honestly, every sentence in there is incorrect.

Are many senior non-profit execs overpaid for underperforming? You’re prob right. But the hyperbole takes away from your point, IMHO.
The people who say that probably live in California (or equivalent) and can't fathom that some people live in places where weather is a thing.

I was surprised that when you share a TikTok video on whatsapp/anywhere, it generates unique URL link that can be traces back to your account. This company definitely has "we need more data" culture.
It is a real issue and not just repealing labor laws for funsies.

There are too many predators and not enough prey in the ecosystem. Either we need to accept that some of the businesses will starve or find a way to increase the labor force.
Or standing in a very crowded platform waiting for the subway, where subsequently you're standing with an armpit in your face and someone's backpack poking into your back.

That happens because increasing housing density, as long as it takes to build, is rapid compared to increasing public transportation. Not everyone can bike or walk to work in big cities, especially when the subway commute is 45 minutes.
> Yes and Python (released in 1991) took a lot more time to become popular compared to Java (released in 1995) which was corporate backed.

Being corporate backed is the real answer. Languages that became popular through grassroots support are the exception, not the rule.
> Except of course none of these are issues for biking

Except they all are

> Weather situation is the same as walking

But we're not talking about bikes replacing walking, we're talking about bikes replacing cars.
I don’t think is one of those cases where it’s helpful to have everyone “have a seat at the table.”

The oil industry would make more money than anyone else at that table and have outsized influence.

They also have a history of misleading the public and outright lying about climate change.
The topic wasn't about YouTube the company. As far as the qualitative statement of "going strong", it really depends on what you mean by that. YouTube is highly relevant today, but nobody actually knows whether it makes a profit. Before you go looking for their revenue statements, remember, revenue != profit.

To clarify my precious statement, just because ad revenue helps a creator early on doesn't mean they will get the same payout as time goes on, and YouTube has no qualms about demonetizing creators for any reason they see fit. To top it off, the same number of ads is likely to bring in less revenue as time goes on. Both YouTube ads and Adsense used to pay out a lot more than they do today.
The problem is that these kind of approaches require more upfront thought, which produces less now, and pays off later... and only if maintained by people in tune with the original design.

I've seen this architectures quickly ruined by 'can-do' people who butcher everything to get a feature done _and_ get a bonus from the management for quick delivery.
But the problem is the 99%, no ?
I wonder why they seem to have escaped? I always thought they were better known than Z-Library (which forked off from them).
looks like the devices firmware can still be updated.

there's no official definition for "bricking" but it used to mean that the device was irrecoverable, at least by end users, thus as useful as a brick.

> Notably off the table is how to get kids to go to school here and stay here.

Ah, so the plan is to put the 16/17 year olds in the workplace because they're too young to live independently and leave the state.
I’ve been using HTMX (from Clojure) for projects recently and I have to say I like it a lot. Full-stack web stuff is a hobby for me and I always had trouble really grokking all the parts of SPAs. HTMX fits neatly into my brain’s model of how websites should work.
Would not it go both ways? We would not want to be contaminated either.
It is also possible that Iowa has changed; certainly the voting patterns of the state have. I'm not looking for a flame war: I am curious if people who know the state better have things to say about what's going on there, because that would be much more interesting than every other comment in this thread right now.
Certainly given the information available one can make a fuzzy speculation on the cause.

The cause likely has to do with Google and the location given that this is the second suicide from the same company and location.
> which we're disregarding here; people should be fine making whatever stupid decision they want

The entire reason the concept of “minors” exists is a social judgement that this rule has only limited applicability to people below a certain age.
Canadians are too apathetic to care. It's one of those "they came for X but I wasn't one so I didn't care" situations up here. It's going to get way worse before it gets better.

Spoken like someone who doesn't understand the history of child labour.

There's an old saying: regulations are written in blood. Unfortunately, it seems some folks have forgotten the history and lessons that brought us to modern labour laws...
Anything related to airplanes. A pilot or mechanic...
> How do you do wear-leveling?

I seem to be the only one here who has a preventative solution instead of treating the symptoms.

https://www.sockclip.com/

Each and every pair of socks is mated for life and wear-leveling is only a problem to the extent that I favor my dominant foot.

The clips have a high retention rate such that no more than one clip comes loose each wash cycle, which means it is obvious which socks made the failed escape attempt.

There doesn't need to be any conspiracy. If it's good for PR reasons to show they are fighting, companies will do it anyway without the need to coordinate.
The point is meaningless.

Catalyst looks nice! What's the downside? Is it dead?
I wonder if those who oppose letting 15 year olds choose to work also oppose letting 15 year olds undergo certain cosmetic medical procedures, or letting 15 year olds vote. Typical “adult when it’s convenient” hypocrisy.
So the goal is after 30 years of ownership to sell for more than you paid over the life of the mortgage so that your total cost amortizes to at least zero or a negative number (you made money).
Since teens are not necessarily fully developed mentally etc. will there be a way to categorize different construction businesses to keep the more dangerous types of work from being open to people who might not think things through.

Just thinking about the places I've worked where people died from dumb decisions, but that's probably overly emotional.
> Weather situation is the same as walking; you need to dress properly.

I love my ebike but that's not really true. Weather feels much more extreme on a bike, IMO. In the rain I get much wetter on my bike than walking. In the cold the weather hurts my hands and eyes. In the sun I sweat more, because biking is exercise unless I go throttle-only.

And of course there's the danger aspect. Walking in the rain is not a safety risk for me at all. Biking in the rain is not as safe.

So I mostly use my ebike in mild weather conditions and choose other options at the extremes.
Teaching. Not an easy path, but deeply satisfying.
A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.

Probably a small farm. Small local farms in my locale tend to target higher end restaurants and also have weddings and other events on the farm to make ends meet. It isn’t ludicrous, but it is enough to make a living.

If I could manage making less money I would probably do gardening.
Instead of just asking one person for their answer, you could randomize how many quarries people are allowed, and then see which one converts best.
>It doesn't require a vast conspiracy

It would if we account for the fact that we haven't seen any reports of fake legal fights / warrant canaries and etc.

>I would guess the truth is somewhere in the middle

I don't understand this phrase, wouldn't that just mean the bigger lie / conspiracy wins every argument? How do you weigh such things reliably?
Electrician. Would be hard on my body I'm sure, but I just don't see that job ever going away.
I did similar for a newspaper puzzle unscrambler, pushing to rewrite it in lower level languages (PowerShell then C# then Rust) and changing algorithm (from sort letters, to precompute lookup hashtable of sorted letters, to multiply prime numbers one for each alphabet letter to drop the overhead of sorting, to lookup hash of those, to sorting the integer results into an array to do a binary search through and jump to the matching offset in an answers array and inlining those in the code) until it was near enough instant.

... and I don't use it, because unjumbling the word myself is satisfying, but typing the letters into a computer and getting the answer isn't.

I also recently learned that one can do the same in the "pattern match" case (not just with `s`) by using a backslash, as in:

printf 'a/b/c\nd/e/f\n' | sed -ne '\_a/b/c_p'

the man page says "any character" and sure enough, `\ a/b/c p` works also
How hard is it likely to be, realistically, to figure out who got this money? That is way, way too big a windfall to effectively hide. Even getting rid of it would take an enormous amount of work, if you didn't want it.

This is like with lottery winners - anonymity won't necessarily protect you. I'm not sure this encourages me to be a whistleblower... it would create so many more stressors after what was already a phenomenally stressful time. $10m or so would be easier to hide.
