Teenage childbirth actually has a high risk of complications, versus birth in the 20-24 age range. (There is an entire WHO page about this.)

The brain goes through a lot of changes between 17 and 21-25. We have evidence of this. It's not just "feminists changing things". One consequence of your brain reaching maturity is that it is harder for people to manipulate you.

Marriage is not what it used to be in terms of economics either. Use your head, man. Fertility does not drop to nothing the moment a woman turns twenty. I say this as a non-redditor. I find it funny how people are so often concerned with female fertility and age, but the babydaddy is allowed to be old as the hills and not blamed for any birth defects, despite that advanced paternal age is associated with many birth defects and fertility struggles.
> Dont expect this to be financed by the food industry though...

which, honestly is the exact industry that should foot a decent amount of the bill.

along with many of the pressing issues a number of commentators have already brought up, we need to do something about industries who become gigantic simply because they externalize all the negative costs and pretend they had nothing to do with it or just muddy the waters enough that they’re never held accountable.

do we know if food industries are the primary culprits? no, but i’m also not sure it matters. if we allow industries to have significant benefits over everyone else, from writing laws themselves to never being held accountable to externalizing costs onto society, maybe industries should bear the costs of finding out what’s happening and the costs of fixing it.

maybe not tho, but it’s becoming more and more clear how unsustainable it is to let these behemoths externalize everything onto us, walk away with everything, and all but say “not my problem.”

I look forward to the upcoming boot-time competitions between FreeBSD and Linux. :)

> You absolutely can compile everything you need into the kernel -- in fact for Firecracker you have to since you don't have a boot loader handing you multiple kernel modules. But I needed to write the code to support more than just Firecracker.

Absolutely. But it seems reasonable to have, for instance, link-time sorting support that only works when building a kernel that doesn't support kernel modules.
I think that is fair.

I wonder how annoyed the LoRa Alliance is with this particular acronym, which is one capitalized letter away from their trademark?
Yeah, good point. You could use std::vector or std::list. Under the hood those both use pointers, but kind of similar to how under the hood std::unique_ptr or std::box would use raw pointers.

In the specific case of a binary tree, where you only need left and right, std::vector/std::list would be overkill and slow down your program. But in a b-tree, std::vector would be good.

You can't use std::array or plain C arrays for the same reason you can't use raw values.

Show HN: CryptexVault – Decentralized Password Manager
Hi everyone!
We started working on this project last year because a password manager that we used was being sold to another company and stopped offering their service.
We were not happy with the alternatives that were available so we decided to give it a shot and build our own.

We are now at a point where we have a working Beta and are looking for some feedback from the community.

The main idea is to have data synchronization without a central server (single point of failure).
When you create a Vault (inside which you can store your credentials and other sensitive data), you can "Link" it to other devices.
By linking it to other devices, you can synchronize the data between them.
- The Vault itself never leaves your device, it is encrypted and decrypted locally, and is only shared with the other devices that you link it to.

The data synchronization is done using WebRTC, meaning, the data is transferred directly between the devices without going through a central server.
If the devices cannot connect directly, the data is transferred through a TURN server (which is a server that is used to relay the data between the devices).
- We are working on a way to allow the users to use their own TURN server (or a TURN server that they trust) or perhaps not use one at all, instead of using the one that we provide.

Now, the only problem is how do your devices find each other - Using a signaling server.
- We provide a signaling server that is used by default, but we're also working on a way to allow the users to use their own signaling server.

In order to allow for easier testing, I've allowed the users to link devices without having to upgrade their account.

I would appreciate any feedback you have for us, and if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

Why not boot as a compilation step, and save a memory instance to be loaded on actual boots.
I've read old reports on the 1918-20 flu pandemic. They all noted that mask mandates had no apparent positive effect, so shouldn't be used "next time". It was that history US public officials had in mind when they initially resisted mask mandates. But the public pressure to enact tangible measures was too great. I don't see what could be done to avoid the same happening again.
Could also turn on lights but depending on the situation the monitor light is a more ideal amount.
Hmm I love tattoos but I have only one and not of those categories :)

I plan to have more eventually but I'm not in any hurry. I've found a few great artists but the biggest problem is actually getting time in their calendar.

But my point is: now that tattoos are becoming more popular, there will be more 'beginners' like me.
> their latest API [...] is currently only supported on a handful of their latest top end cards

While there's very few cards that are officially supported, I've enabled most RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 GPUs in the OS-provided packages on Debian Unstable and Ubuntu 23.10. I haven't tested every architecture, but my experience has been that they generally work quite well. The version of HIP packaged for Debian is still a few versions behind, so we haven't been able to enable RDNA 3 yet, but it shouldn't be too long before that is resolved.

As you have described, it has been a very long road to get to this point (with a lot of mistakes along the way), but I think things are getting better. That said, I work on ROCm, so my evaluation may be unintentionally biased.
> Not all software keeps working for eternity without updates.

True. And yes, Debian stable packages do not work so well if a package needs to undergo frequent updates. As others have pointed out there are work arounds in place - like backports. Or if you want a Ubuntu / Arch like experience, you could try Debian testing. But they are kludges and for some packages the pain got so great Debian was forced to brake it's own rules and pushes new version into stable. But that's rare - Debian stable is so popular because it's stable.

The underlying reason for that focus seems to be Debian is a distribution put together by sysadmin's. A large chunk of the DD's (Debian Developers) are sysadmins pooling their resources to produce a distribution they can use in their day job. The two things that matters to them are security and stability. It's not an accident that Debian led the way on reproducible builds. This mob really cares about rock solid and secure.

To me Debian model of "sysadmin's pooling their resources" is remarkable. It's one of the few open source driver projects that combines open source and commercial objectives. At its heart is a whole pile of people teaming up in an open source project to create a tool (a server OS) they base their respective (and disparate) commercial products. The open nature of Debian - it's ethos, it's transparency, is critical to why this works so well. It allows the participants who might well be producing competing products to trust each other, and continue to work along side it other for decades now to produce a distribution. It also means it's always going to have a strong server focus.

That focus doesn't mean not to say Debian can't be used for a Desktop. A stable base like that is a very attractive thing to build a desktop on, and that's what happened. It's my daily driver, and I think it works wonderfully - but I also hand install some things from outside Debian (like youtube-dlp), and make liberal use of docker containers when I need to pin certain versions for development. It's a bit of work - but as a developer it's stuff I have to do anyway. It created an opportunity to create a derivative that caters to the desktop users who aren't like me and just want the latest shiny - and Ubuntu stepped into it.
I think that is fair.

I deleted the old custom license and replaced it with MIT license.

Why do you need potable water for cooling?
Huh? The Sanders followers blame the DNC for supporting Hillary over him, during the primaries. I'm pretty sure that was proven by the DNC email leak, it's not a "conspiracy theory": the DNC really was working for Hillary.

I'm not aware of any Sanders followers thinking the actual votes were altered. The voters (in places that had primaries and not caucuses) really did vote for Hillary. The controversy was that the DNC wasn't properly neutral and that this affected the results. Whether the DNC being neutral would have actually resulted in Sanders winning, I don't think anyone can know, though it's probably doubtful. He certainly had a better message than "vote for me because I'm a woman and it's my turn!", and lacked all the baggage that Hillary came with, and had far more charisma (which the DNC infamously doesn't understand the value of), but considering the Republican voters were happy to vote for a guy who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, I don't think we can assume the best about the voters of any party.

The point of my comment is to highlight how the OpenCopilot License is neither free nor open source. The MIT License (Expat License) is also a free software license, and you can use the FSF's link if you prefer: https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:Expat

> Please do not use the Free Software Foundation's acronym, FOSS

> FOSS was initially defined by RMS: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition

> This nuance is explained here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.en.html

Your two links contradict what you are saying. Through the Free Software Foundation, Richard Stallman defined the term free software, not the term FOSS (free and open source software). In fact, your second gnu.org link is an article in which Stallman criticizes the term FOSS and encourages people to switch to the term FLOSS (free/libre and open source software) instead. I am not as picky as Stallman about free/libre software getting 2 letters in the acronym instead of 1, so I tend to use the shorter and more common term FOSS. The acronym FOSS was intended to unify the free software community and the open source software community, and does not belong to the Free Software Foundation.

> FOSS leans Copyleft, which goes against the "without limitation" criteria you've used to characterize it.

Copyleft is a limitation on the license under which a piece of software can be redistributed, and not a limitation on whether the software can be redistributed.

If you want to nitpick, go ahead and substitute what I said with the text of the Free Software Definition: "Freedom to distribute (freedoms 2 and 3) means you are free to redistribute copies, either with or without modifications, either gratis or charging a fee for distribution, to anyone anywhere. Being free to do these things means (among other things) that you do not have to ask or pay for permission to do so."

The OpenCopilot License does not meet that requirement, either.
I remember when Dominique Strauss-Khan was arrested for rape.

Lots of folks were pointing out no other country would have arrested him. Certainly not in his native France.

Same is true with the blood lady who had the fake tests. She got so many powerful people, including the head of the WSJ, as supporters.

100C is boiling water - you don't think a house can survive boiling water thrown on it?

The standard here isn't a simple temp. - it's how long a house can sustain external heat for.

One excerpt from the Australian Bushfire Houing standard talks about:

The assumed effective flame temperature sustained for a 2 minute period over a fire front width of 100 m.

Instantaneous flame temperature may peak above 1090 K.

That's, uhhh, Kelvin - greater than 700C

Who's going to put a Powerwall inside their house in any case? It'd go outside, well away from the house, out by the outbuildings and fuel tanks.

I don’t think it’s necessary to invoke epistemic probability to explain why the original question is tricky. At least for me, it helps to notice that if the question were rephrased “the older child is a boy, what is the probability that the younger child is also?”, then the answer would be the intuitive 1/2. You get into this counter-intuitive situation with the question as asked because of the “at least” phrasing - the remaining possibilities in the contingency table can still apply to one, the other, or both children.
Well building cities on a major fault line is more akin to cursing yourself IMO. I guess people are betting "the big one" won't happen during their lifetime. The same with traffic, as it's caused by poor planning. The others are really acts of nature.

Ps not judging here, I'm just qualifying :) I'm from the Netherlands, from a part that was most decidedly below sea level which is also inviting disaster obviously. Especially with the rising sea levels. And one huge disaster also happened in the past.

We also have an entirely human caused earthquake problem in the northeast due to the empty spaces left by natural gas extraction.

Maybe. The tradeoff is that having two different ways of doing something makes it more likely that one will break without anyone noticing.
I wonder, how many engineers with hands on experience on the PowerPC to intel transition are still around?

The original monitor light doesn't make the wall brighter (the Halo edition is a relatively new offering). Rather it provides a smooth intensity gradient on the work surface directly in front of and underneath the monitor. This smooth gradient is very effective at reducing eyestrain.

Unless the room lights are specifically designed for optimal lighting of the workspace, they cannot achieve the same effect. In typical homes, the room light is either a single ceiling fixture or lamps (one or more), spread throughout.
One thing that I remember learning was about one of the Mexican native tribes (I think Aztecs). After their entire army was defeated by a few hundred Spaniards, the general was annoyed that the natives fought, so they enslaved everyone and had them demolish every single building in the capital. The enslavement was so bad that soon after that 90% of the natives died.
Imagine that after losing a war, your job was to work yourself to death in order to destroy your entire national legacy.
Air source heat pumps (in heating mode) use the heat generated by the electric compressor so the conversion loses there are negligible.

Mechanical gearboxes also generate heat, so you'd need to capture that too.
It is interesting that people love json (now with schema), but hate XML while loving HTML at the same time. It is all pretty boring and largely the same imo.
It's a regulated monopoly. Its not pure market, there are public utility oversight issues. Down here, the "gold plating" of the network allowed them to seek year on year 8% rate of return on capital investment. Caused a few problems. Regulator didn't do its job properly.

I don't tend to like private power functions, or water, or sewage or gas. I tend to thinking public utility really should be public.

Texas Power probably doesn't align with my bad economics. I am sure they seek any profit they can get away with.

(and. I stress bad economics. I am pretty sure a lot of people think surge pricing is the least-worst choice. I just question how Texas wound up there)

Power companies are still required to do that. However, there are few things that make electricity less reliable in Texas:

Nobody deserves XML! In all seriousness I get the idea behind XML and I have used a couple of SOAP services which were absolutely brilliant, but as someone who has spent a decade “linking” data from various sources in non-tech enterprise… Well… let’s just say that I’m being kind if I say that 5% of the services which used XML were doing it in a way that was nice to work with.

Which is why JSON’s simplicity is such a win for our industry. Because it’s always easy to handle. Sure you can build it pretty terrible, but you’re not going to do this: <y value=x> and then later do <y>x</y> which I’m not convinced you didn’t do in XML because you’re chaotic evil. And you’re not going to run into an issue where some Adobe Lifecycle schema doesn’t work with .Net because of reasons I never really found out because why wouldn’t an XML schema work in .Net? Anyway, I’m sure the intentions behind XML were quite brilliant but in my anecdotal experience it just doesn’t work for the Thursday afternoon programmer mindset and JSON does.
