Not correctly, which is part of the problem.

You all are right, it is unlikely that anyone will actually follow this recipe. I guess I’m taken aback that some pretty serious electrical engineering has been turned into a step by step tutorial with little mention of the potential risks.

If an inexperienced person does decide to save some money on an inverter by following these steps (as is implied), it could very quickly turn into “how to electrocute yourself and burn down your house in 10 easy steps.” I would not want to be liable for promoting or hosting such content. Similar to the issue with the “very cool” electric wood burning fad that killed a few people.

Perhaps SV needs to disrupt the existing moribund market. Think bootcamp contracts, but targeted to infants. Pay to... exist. If you believe IQ is all genetics, there should be at least ~250K players in the SV market.
Yes, and sometimes we instead leave obsolete technology in place as a living museum.

Again, surely a compromise could be found -- replace, say, 98% of the gas lamps, but leave 2% functioning in a special historic district.

With smart leadership and marketing, such historic areas can drive considerable tourist and economic activity as well.

> Fertility rate determines the birth rate but, not the other way around.

I think fertility rate is the better metric here, so using fertility seems appropriate as well.
i'm 6'1 and if the person in front of me reclines their seat on an air canada or westjet 737, i literally cannot fit in a standard airline seat. it's not that i feel cramped, i have to pull my knees up and keep my feet off the floor if i don't want constant pressure on my knees from the seat in front of me.

i always try to get the aisle seat so i can keep my legs in the aisle, and only have to curl up in an awkward position when the cart comes by.
I see your point, but not sure if a number up front would be honesty, seems more of a gamble. They need to find a number that's not too low, not too high, for an abstract average human. I've managed to detect a lowball danger fairly early on in my past negotiations, but can't claim that it's easy. That said, maybe knowing their "hedge rate" is a useful tell, even if you don't entirely trust it.

Just as a side note, I hate it when people make up "etiquette" in their mind, treat it as real rules, and get mad at you for breaking it.

Unless there's good reason (very old person, person with disabilities), I'll recline after letting you know and checking if I don't crush anything on your side (a skull, laptop, or food). During lunch, the personnel will tell us to sit upright, anyway, otherwise the trays are unusable.

There is also a chain reaction element to it.

Even if originally I was sitting upright (I really prefer it this way for short 2-4 hour trips, which is most of my flights within Europe), if the person in front of me reclines, I'll recline, otherwise I'd be about 10 cm away from the other person's head, and no matter how nice his or her shampoo is, I ain't smelling it the whole flight, even if your favorite CBS travel expert says otherwise.

This is just rage-bait. It's a headline designed to elicit clicks and frustration because everyone already has an opinion and nobody is going to change their mind.

This entire article is just journalists, "etiquette experts," and transportation market analysts sharing their opinion, which is no more relevant than your opinion or that of the person sat behind you on a flight.

They might as well have quoted me: "I've flown many dozens of times, reclined every time, and not once caused any trouble."
maybe, but American fertility rates are equal or higher than countries like Sweden, Norway, and Finland which have great welfare and social safety nets.
At least in my case, I moved to a city for more infrastructure, public transport and my job. I had absolutely no plans to raise kids there. In fact, most people I know move out of the city center to the suburbs once they have kids. I dont follow your analysis why less childbirth would automatically lead to deserted cities.

We pay a lot for healthcare, but that money is not spent on healthcare.

It is an important distinction. For example, about 33% of healthcare dollars go to paying “claims proceesing” people at your insurance company and your doctors office to haggle with each other and produce duplicate paperwork.

If the low end of your estimate (5x) is the correct multiplier, the money that goes to claims processing would be enough to pay for universal healthcare in pretty much any other first world country.

Other things, like absurdly high drug prices, also are not healthcare spending. 90+% of drug discovery research money is spent at universities, and not by pharmaceutical companies. Also, those companies pay more for prescription drug advertising than for drug research.
I've been wondering a lot about fertility lately. Almost every married woman that I know of my age group is seemingly unable to have children, despite, in most cases, wanting to. This is often accompanied by PCOS, thyroid problems, or other strange but undiagnosed illnesses. The one exception to this seems to be those of Italian American vintage. Having grown up in Rhode Island I know quite a lot of Italian Americans, and while they all have those strange illnesses, they do seem to be able to have kids almost universally.

Something really strange is going on, and it's awful to watch. In some instances the women have actually considered self harm because of their desire and inability to have children, even after tens of thousands spent on IUI and IVF. This can't be accidental, but I have no idea what could be causing it and how anyone would go about proving the connection. I hear all sorts of wild theories such as birth-control in the water, or plastics imitating estrogens, or pesticides interrupting hormone pathways, but they're all correlative when I've investigated. Never really seen it any truly compelling evidence. In fact, I've never even seen real evidence to prove that this is a phenomenon that's actively occurring, but man, it feels like nearly every fertile-age woman I know is having problems, and the few that aren't probably just aren't talking about it.

From a personal and selfish standpoint, I now have two kids and it sucks not having any friends that have kids.

I hope it gets figured out.

IMO calling it "population collapse" and a "train wreck" is the wrong way to describe it. This isn't so much a collapse, it's a leveling-off. A train isn't supposed to wreck, but populations are supposed to reach a maxima.

The fact historical short-sightedness meant we didn't plan for it properly is an issue. The problem here should be framed around our economic system though, not fertility rates.

This is a great way to make friends (well, sometimes. Not always) but I think most of them are going to be "type 2" friends in your schema. You're probably right, not that many people are looking for new, deep friendships in adulthood if they're not transplants. But... that kind of seems like a flaw in TFA's premise as well. You can't just unilaterally decide you're going to orient your life around your friends if your friends aren't on the same page.

To be fair I don't think I was "unsuccessful" at making friends when I was younger but for various reasons I didn't end up being able to stay in the same place as them and most friendships kind of wither if it's a whole trip that has to be planned to see someone.

Remember, it's not about you, or the person reclining their seat. Both of you are in the same plane and are being forced into conflict by the airline. You're on the same side, and the party to blame is the one reducing seat pitch repeatedly year after year. The only reason the recline button is still there is that it would clearly call attention to the fact that seats don't have room to recline anymore, which would shift people's attention to the actual culprits.

My apologies for saying the following but can you share some books or papers that support your view? The example that I provided was from the dragon book. CMU uses that same example for one of its ssa slides for an compiler optimization course. This makes me think that I can I indeed lower an ast to ssa that looks like the example I gave and still exploit the ssa for optimization. By the way the examples I provided above are from the dragon book.

Perhaps you work on llvm or something professionally?

I don't understand why people jump so quickly to having an attitude about things like this. I can't quite delineate the category I'm talking about into which this topic falls, but it's essentially requests of the form "would you consider not..." that put people into this state of non-commensurate snide defiance. I too want to recline my seat, and sometimes do, but I understand what I'm doing. I do it slowly. Sometimes I ask them if it's OK (e.g. they're using their tray). I don't get the tendency to treat every detail of the world as a binary me vs you.
That's probably more true for simple products like toasters. For products where each one is almost always unique (has tons of optional choices, details) you can't easily shop around and compare apples to apples. You end up narrowing down to a few _mostly acceptable_ products in your vicinity, and then negotiating among those few.

To add: it's already difficult for a dealer to overcharge because even for complex/unique products we do have stats.

I just don't like the circular dependency of it. Companies follow an industry-wide stat to push all the people into preset salary tiers. The industry-wide stat is based on these same companies. The only way out is when some "rogue" companies allow some "rogue" employees to negotiate, and push the industry upwards.

I am not sure it always just boils down to resources. I know cases where she decided to have no more kids after her first, because she realized raising kids is psychologically stressful. Being able to take the easy way out is definitely a factor, the question is how much it weights.
The problem is that there are more than two drivers involved:

There is you, and the slow driver blocking traffic in the passing lane next to you.

Then there are the 8 cars behind you, and at least one of those drivers is making everyone unsafe out of frustration.

You can't do anything to change that driver's behavior. The situation persists until the system is altered.
> Wouldn’t birth rate be a better word instead of fertility?

Birth rate and fertility rate are related but different measures.

Birth rate: # of live births per population per unit time

(General) Fertility Rate: # of live births in a time period per woman of childbearing age (15-44 is one definition, not sure if it is the most common.)

(Total) Fertility Rate: splitting up a definition of childbearing age (often, slightly wider than that used for GFR on the high end; I’ve seen 15-49 used where 15-44 is used for GFR), into equal size age bands (e.g., 5 year bands), calculate the GFR for women in each band on an annual basis, multiply by the width of the bands, and sum; this represents an approximate measure of the expected lifetime births per woman.

Yes, this technical usage conflicts with some common uses of “fertility”, but technical jargon is that way.

Consumption of resources in general is the problem, and that only happens at a scale where population growth remains stable or increases. It's not the difference between even 90% of newborns eventually doing something like modding their car to roll coal instead of using bike transportation.
Yes and no. In the US, the vast majority of Americans want to own a single family home, not a condo or apartment [1]. That brings with it the necessity of personal vehicle ownership, which then compounds urban planning and traffic issues. And of course, you can't make more land near cities where people want to live, so you end up in a scarcity situation as the population grows (US population grows by over 1 million per year, whereas Japan's is shrinking - those million+ people have to live somewhere).

We can say that American preferences are causing a lot of these issues, but then you have to make the argument that people shouldn't be able to get what they want.

When I don't spread my legs, my knees touch the seat in front. If the person in front tries to recline, they feel resistance, they push more. No move. They slam into the seatback. It hurts me and it doesn't let them recline.

When I spread my legs to avoid the backseat in front, now this is the vicious part... Their seat can recline, but if they lift their armrest, the back of the armrest jams into my knee, with force amplified by leverage. Really painful.

Nowadays on longhaul flights I lean over and apologize ahead, sorry sir/ma'am, if you feel resistance when you recline, it's because your seat is hitting my leg, please don't use force. Some are unhappy. If so I apologize for the inconvenience but I don't control the length of my legs.

Basic courtesy would require you to check that it's safe to recline.

He kept it deflated for the rest of his life, though he said it was a constant struggle.

Beyond pollutants, which isn't at all far-fetched to think is affecting fertility rates, there's also just life. I know plenty of people who want to have kids, but there's a lot of reasons to wait before having them. The later one waits, the harder (physically) it is to have kids.
