We're not quite at the level of BBBY where the shelves are literally empty. But we all can see that Gamestop is entering a death spiral here.

Nothing against the store or anything, but its just not a useful place to shop, and its increasingly becoming a less useful place to sell games too.

Iceland's communal swimming and hot bathing especially in the government run bathhouses were the best part of Iceland for me (traveled solo). I met locals (now friends) and scheduled & met/dates there thru dating apps.

I did go to the Blue and Sky Lagoon , which for me are the Disney of bathhouses. They are worth checking out at least once.
New York City announces minimum wage for app food delivery workers $17.96/hour
I read a book awhile ago called Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?, which basically argues that cultures which strongly promote traditional values, having children, etc. will evolutionarily outcompete groups that don’t.

It made me think that there must be a kind of cycle in human societies, where certain social values (like the ones mentioned in the article) are able to become popular for a short period of time (which can be over a century long) but ultimately have no ability to sustain themselves and then are outcompeted. The amount of “defectors” isn’t enough to sustain the population.

Given how difficult it seems for any genuinely universal cultural movement to take off in the dating space, it seems to me like a similar thing will happen over the course of the 21st and 22nd centuries.

This is ridiculous, there aren't going to be trillions in losses from intentional defaults in commercial real estate.

First of all, if it's done intentionally, it's fraud. And if two people have blabbed to random Substack guy, then this would be easy to prove.

Secondly, what exactly is the strategy here? Borrow a ton of money to buy buildings, then default on them and walk away? Where's the profit exactly?

Third, the firms capable of raising this level of capital also care about their reputation and ability to borrow money in the future.

And finally, the buildings won't be worthless when the bank takes them over, they'll just be worth less. To lose trillions here, this would have to happen on a scale of $10 trillion or more? The entire commercial real estate market in the US is only worth like $20 trillion.
Most of my daily work is done with BBEdit and has been for over 25 years now.

> Many women still hold on to the idea of finding a partner that is wealthier and more educated. This is due to the past (over)reliance of their partners for stability. But this is no longer true.

I'm not sure this is absolutely true - at least for Germany. Here the figures show, that women and men, ceteris paribus, earn pretty much the same (+-3%). Until... children come into the mix. The lack of child care and societies view on parental leave (for men at least) means, that generally speaking the woman stays home to take care of the child and later on moves on to a part time position thus earning less and having to rely on the partners income again.

> I know way, way too many people who did that and are now divorced. And a lot of the women in those relationships had children very early and didn't have a chance to get an education or start a career so now that they're divorced and on their own they're having a very hard time securing good income.

My parents talked about how when they were married 'they were just kids' even though they married in their mid 20s.

I wonder if this trend of marriages happening more into the late 20s to early 30s has a large source from the difficulty of obtaining financial stability, and additionally if it is part of the causes of the US low fertility rate.

Would we still wait to mid/late 20s to get serious if all else were equal but the financial stability to buy a house etc. were there as easily as it was for previous generations?

Stuff like this is actually researched. It would be better to first look at the research before comparing anecdotal hypotheses.

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/11/08/whats-beh...

> Men are more likely than women to point to factors that have more to do with personal choice. Roughly a third (34%) of men without a bachelor’s degree say a major reason they didn’t complete college is that they just didn’t want to. Only one-in-four women say the same. Non-college-educated men are also more likely than their female counterparts to say a major reason they don’t have a four-year degree is that they didn’t need more education for the job or career they wanted (26% of men say this vs. 20% of women).

> Women (44%) are more likely than men (39%) to say not being able to afford college is a major reason they don’t have a bachelor’s degree. Men and women are about equally likely to say needing to work to help support their family was a major impediment.

> In some instances, the gender gaps in the reasons for not completing college are more pronounced among White adults than among Black or Hispanic adults. About four-in-ten White men who didn’t complete four years of college (39%) say a major reason for this is that they just didn’t want to. This compares with 27% of White women without a degree. Views on this don’t differ significantly by gender for Black or Hispanic adults.

https://www.stlouisfed.org/on-the-economy/2022/mar/why-women...

> In this blog post, we argue against these explanations, showing it is unlikely that the gender gap in college attendance reflects some sort of failure on the part of educators or college admissions officers. A more likely explanation is that the labor markets reward women with relatively higher financial returns to college enrollment.
No one is. It doesn't make you unique or more true to yourself by waiting later in life. You'll get married and _still change._

My point is that people are deluding themselves into this idea that you need to be a finished person before finding a partner.

You will grow together and effect one another. And if you're a committed partner, you'll build each other up.

If you think hard times are a limit for you personally and divorce is always an option in regular everyday struggles, you're going to face some real hard realities one day when you realize options that you had are no longer available while life passes you by.

I've worked in Orgs with Cobol code written in the 70s and 80s still around. The strategy of moving your business over to a more performant / scalable tech, in essence means you now have two sets of technologies that just end up sitting on top of each other. I worked on a business line that literally had Java, Javascript, Cobol, VBScript, C#, and Smalltalk all working somewhere in the business process counting only in house written code! Businesses never actually modernize everything. They patch old code, write new stuff in new tech, and it grows in complexity. So the invest in core techs we already use is I think a great idea.

commercial real estate was considered extremely safe, and competitive, so such deals were a way to build trust in commercial tenants and compete with other banks.

it was considered safe because a commercial tenants was likely trying to run a stable business and moving location is very expensive, so it was unlikely for a business to want to change location on a whim.
I think it’ll sort itself out fairly quickly. Women who refuse to “date down” will find themselves getting older and lonelier. They’ll open themselves up to more potential partners because long term loneliness is much worse than status anxiety (and people tend to lose their status anxiety as they get older).
Yea this mindset always confuses me. If you don't tip the employees, the prices will go up, and you'll pay the same price either way. Where do people think the money that goes to employees comes from if not ultimately from customers pockets?

This looks great! I was about to start learning and diving into Obsidian about a month ago, finally driven to begin building a personal knowledgebase...

And then I found Mem.ai and dove into that instead, and i've been extremely happy with it. It accomplishes this aspect he's offering here (where it uses your knowledgebase to assist in your writing). However, it's also got built in chat with your knowledgebase, and helps with auto-sorting and all of that.

For those that want their data on their computer, I totally see why Obsidian is the most desirable. So this sort of addition would be the best of both worlds for them.
Unpopular opinion: this is a theoretical problem and practically, no big deal.

What is US Gov actually going to do with the data? Worse case very small numbers of citizens might be quietly leaned on to stop whatever proscribed behaviours they're engaged in; of the very very few who might continue to persist, I guess they may be dealt with in some other way - terrible of course, but the absolute numbers of these citizens must be small...therefore a price worth paying if everyone else on aggregate has increased security?

As long as the command supports some structured output, such as json, it is very easy to get back the magic.

I have written a bunch of scripts that basically manages my whole home server using podman by leveraging `podman --output=json`. Most new tools support json output that make it easy, and by adding an alias that adds the `--output=json | from json` (or the equivalent for each command) it works pretty much the way you would expect.

For others that don't, you just need to add a little parsing to kick it off. Here are some examples on their github[0]. Once you have what works, just add it as an internal command, and it's a "fixed" problem.

I personally prefer nushell's method, as it allowed me to add tools that do some more advanced stuff pretty quickly.

This is mostly for large cities. As someone who’s lived in many big cities like NYC and London, education and pedigree is extremely important.

It’s also about the illusion of choice and “settling” for worse. When you know there are attractive Harvard lawyers, why would you bother with some state school government worker? Now there’s no guarantee these women can actually land the first group but why not try?

As rational actors maximizing their utility, that’s the right move. The real question is what utility entails for that individual. But the default norm is by school and job prestige alongside physical looks.

This worldview would also mean that blue-collar employees in the government are more skilled than their private sector counterparts, no?
Yeast has just as much "sense of place" and "terroir" as influences wine. Starting yeasts generally come prepackaged from just a few mass factories and the vast majority of brewers just rely on that. Not enough brewers appreciate "sourdough" styles of beer that rely on local wild forms of yeast (and to be fair, in many regions of the world the local wild yeasts are poorly adapted for brewing and need a lot of work to get there), but yeast is such a short-lived organism that it adapts quickly to the environments you give it and what you feed it even when you are using fresh packets directly from the national factory as a baseline every brewing session.

Local brewers with even the smallest bit of Belgian influence often have at least some small idea of this. Brewers that enjoy exploring styles known as "farmhouse" or "spontaneous" or "common" are generally exploring truly local beers in both flavor profiles and execution.

If brewing was as lucrative as fancy wines, you'd probably hear a lot more about breweries staffing local yeast experts and building yeast labs the way fancy vineyards hire soil experts. (I do know of at least a couple that do. New Glarus is a stand out for a number of reasons, including that their commitment to local also means that they never distribute beer outside of Wisconsin.)
Apollo's developer has already shared estimates that the total API costs for the app would be around $2.50 per user per month.
I absolutely want to design my emails in React.

I loath building email templates. It brings me back to the old days of terrible HTML tables.
I think unicode, fonts, etc would be an issue even with a plain text editor anyway.

The "styling a range of text" is something i thought but you still need to somehow associate the text with the range - and vice versa - and this doesn't handle things like inserting images and other types of objects since these aren't text.

You could have a document be a series of "paragraphs", each being a series of "elements" with each "element" being something like "text" (with a style), "image", etc. But then once tables enter the picture, you need to expand paragraphs to be of "table" type and each table cell is itself a self-contained "series of paragraphs" - and then start thinking about nested tables or images in tables!

Generalize that enough to avoid special cases inside special cases and you end up with more of a tree-like structure representing a DOM and less with a linear structure with range-based styling.

(of course, then again, i don't remember Write for Windows 3.1 having tables in the first place :-P but i'm interested if there are alternative approaches anyway)

EDIT: one thing i forgot to mention - and why i am curious about non-DOM-based approaches - is that one problem with the DOM approach is the selection: with a linear/range-based structure the selection is just one or two indices inside the range, but with the DOM the selection can start from a node with node-specific subrange (e.g. character in a text node) and end with another node and both being very unrelated to each other (i.e. only having some distant common ancestor and not necessarily at the same level).

I meant to take off deliberately with the aim of correcting the problem mentioned in the article. Western society seems too self-absorbed to me to ever move past selfish motives at this point.

Conversations about high income as a factor in attracting women often seem to neglect to mention that it's not enough to have a high income if you don't use it to signal wealth or to provide luxury experiences to women. Telling women you want to put your high income to work in enabling you to retire early but live a modest life and use that freedom to pursue creative pursuits doesn't have the same effect as taking them to the luxury apartment you rent or inviting them to join you on a romantic, paid for, tropical getaway.
