And your kids stand a chance to be poorer than you if you can’t support their education and devote time to care for them. If you can’t afford a home that’s the path you are on. It’s pathetic how people want folks to sacrifice themselves to create more workerbees for society while they demand their housing “investment(s)” continue to blast upward and vote for less housing.
It's easy to illustrate the impact of fertility rates by model, and it's far more rapid/severe than I think most realize. A fertility rate of "N" means that the next younger generation will be N/2 times as large. So, a fertility rate of 2 means no change, while a fertility rate of 4 would result in an exponential doubling. How about 0.7? We can create a population distribution of this easily enough because we know how big each generation will be relative to the one after it. Assume each generation is 20 years (if its longer - things look even worse). We end up with, for instance:

===

1000 eighty year olds, 350 sixty year olds, 122 forty year olds, 42 twenty year olds, 15 newborns.

===

So you have a working age population of ~300 people working to support a population of 1529. You have a median age of 80, and an average age of 70. Think about the pressure on hospital, healthcare, and any sort of pension or other programs. Those 300 people need to not only man all of these jobs, but also somehow keep the entire economy from collapsing. I mean it's just not going to work.

And then of course your population will be declining catastrophically quickly. The ~20 years during which those 1000 eighty year olds die will result in a population decline of 65%. Yet that's no salvation because the ratio of age distributions won't change at all, unless fertility rates do. You'll end up in the exact same position, continuing to lose 65% of your population each 20 years to come.

> They have no skills in managing true open source projects. We’re better off in an OpenTF World. We don’t need their support.

This is so disingenuous. HC started and managed several of the biggest OSS projects out there. They significantly contributed to and evangelized OSS for over a decade. It's easy to say "we don't need their support" when you're piggybacking off of 13 years of their work and money.

I think that's what frustrates me about this whole thing. It's not the actual forking of terraform but it's the attitude that the companies and people behind OpenTF have had as they've gone through this. There's been a certain smugness and sense of entitlement that this entire thing gives off which doesn't sit right with me. Don't forget that the main drivers behind this are companies that stand to lose the most (commercially) from the licensing change. It's not as altruistic as they make it seem.

I would probably feel better about it if they just came out and said that this impacts their business prospects and as a result they're forking it. But they put this "we're doing this for the community" veil over it which feels disingenuous.
From what I've seen, packages that are marked delivered and then show up a day or two later are one of two things. Either the courier trying to falsely keep their on time stats and daily quotas up despite not being able to (Goodhart's law). Or a misdelivery to a neighbor who either brings it by or leaves it out so the courier informally picks it up and redelivers.
It's more like Apple or Samsung or Sony or Nokia or Google or One or whatever your phone manufacturer is. There's no way around trusting your phone manufacturer with your biometrics.

Even phones that don't offer biometric devices officially need to be trusted not to have hidden fingerprint sensors or iris scanners or whatnot.
I agree with everything you say. However, as we move beyond near-earth space, we will need better communications systems. The moon provides an ability to work out things like replacing/repairing/ decommissioning a satellite beyond earth's orbit but much easier & quicker to get to than anywhere else in the solar system.

Also, satellites can last a long time. There are GPS satellites that are a quarter of a century old and still functioning [0]. I didn't check about other satellites, but I'm sure there are older ones.

If we are to become a space-faring species, then we will need to learn how to do this. Original sea-faring peoples did this millenia ago, and today we ship all sorts of things to every corner of the globe.

Building a shared communication infrastructure is a logical next step. Otherwise we are going to build oversized devices with larger batteries almost like making a walkie-talkie trying to communicate between countries - it's not a good approach. Build out the infrastructure and then the devices (probes/satellites/spacecraft/etc) can leverage the shared infrastructure.

Musk is a military and intelligence contractor. He makes bank on the government. Look at his actions, not his words.
It isn't the fact that there are two mutations that defines two lineages. One lineage is different from the other at two positions. The mutations defining these two lineages could have occurred in either animals or humans.

What it does imply is that SARS-CoV2 was circulating at the Wuhan market for at least weeks or months before the first samples were collected.

However, two base changes is very little data from which to construct a phylogenetic relationship or make "molecular clock" calculations.
Personally I did not last long on Mastodon but that's mainly from the standpoint of also never having been super interested in Twitter as a medium. His breakdown of what the average social media feed looks like rings true though. My instagram feed is obnoxious and overrun with the same 12 accounts between ads. I turn off the "recommended" posts every 30 days and will be very sad when those are not optional anymore. I wish I could commit to leaving the platform, but I'm not there yet.
This is incorrect. No-one was locked out of their bike.

It is impressive, but a major limitation is that programs currently need to be verified by the Rust compiler. I love Rust, but not everyone should have to for a general-purpose OS. There's always emulation/runtime layer, but that seems like a step backwards. Maybe it can be a decent compromise?
Is this a good-faith question, or are you truly not aware of the extreme scale of the copyright infringement that BitTorrent is used for? (And by that, I mean, that any BitTorrent use is automatically associated with excessive bandwidth usage and incoming legal threats, unlike, say, a usable P2P technology)
I can't easily tell; does it still require VGA or MCGA to run?
One of the positive aspects about the Mastodon and the fediverse is that, yes, there isn't going to be some mass displacement of Twitter or whatever... but it introduces the ability for all those small niche focused communities to federate and become something larger than the sum of their parts.

Yes, your gamedev Mastodon isn't going to become a mainstream big thing. But it's connected into a broader pool. And that pool has the potential to change the narrative somewhat.
But the fact remains that by defending yourself, at least you'll minimize the chances of meeting your god(s).

Wealth is an industry term. It doesn't imply that one should be wealthy (rich) to use this tool. Wealth management is a tool for planning your own personal wealth for the future.

For example, you add all your accounts/investments and have the software calculate how much you need to save so that by age 65 (retirement) you have $X which you will need so that by the time you reach life expectancy (say 90 y/o) you have > 0$ left.

There is other stuff you can add in, like "I would like Y$ saved by 20XX so that I can purchase a house. How will that affect the amount I need to save now and how much will that affect my savings at retirement."

> Or do they have meetings with their accountants, bankers, brokers.

It is probably a good idea to have a financial advisor do this for you since they have the know-how (and certification depending where you live) and will know about regional benefits you can apply which can increase your "wealth". However, if you want to do this yourself because you know the space then there is software like this, or Wealth Simple for example.

Don’t believe the lies from the Swedish anti-drug organizations. They are fueled by religious zeal, not science.

It is probably true that Sweden has a below average cannabis usage, compared to the rest of Europe, but recent studies from the Swedish customs(?) show much higher numbers.

Smoking pot in Sweden is incredibly taboo - so those who do keep their mouths shut about. Still plenty of people do it, we had the internet early on and could see through the propaganda.

I was fairly open about smoking(and growing) while I lived in Sweden so I got to know and discuss this issue quite well. It is one of the reasons I no longer live in Sweden - on paper it is free and democratic, but if you go against the group think there will be consequences.

Why would you assume there has to be consumer benefit for this change to be made? Everyone is paying ~3-5% more throughout the economy for interchange fees, some of that will remain as savings or profits in enterprises, some of that will be returned to consumers through lower prices as businesses switch payment rails.

Some people will have to pay more to keep using credit cards (whether for float, purchase insurance, or convenience), simple as that.

As someone who's lived in both areas, California still had opportunities for advancement during my career if one was willing to work hard. In SK, you can work hard all your life but as opportunities are limited, you'll get stuck in toil.

When tourists look at S. Korea and say, "Hey, it's real nice here!" They don't see the hundreds of low-paid workers who are working behinds the scenes. There are plenty of low paying jobs but nothing that can help one build generational wealth.
It is probably none of our business and not relevant to the bigger discussion. I can speculate the answers based on their writing style, but I don't think psycho-analyzing our fellow HN users is either respectful of each other, nor does it add anything constructive to the discussion.

It's possible, but searching for news about bomb threat arrests turns up lots of people, so I think it unlikely that all those directed at libraries come from a single individual. Terroristic threats are depressing common nowadays.
Sadly, It does the opposite. Dings and uneven grain in stainless drives people crazy. Think how many kitchen sinks have been replaced by a similar one because it 'looks old'. A look at the delorean market confirms that.

It's amazing the level of abuse the average Apple developer tolerates.

There's money to be made on Apple's platforms, to be sure, but putting up with nonsense like VM limits and what-not is insanity.

I remember a time when it was against the EULA to virtualize OSX at all. Finally, perhaps a decade late, Apple grants virtualization to the commoners and people rejoiced - Stockholm Syndrome-esque.

Apple gets away with this not just because people accept it, they welcome it.

Meanwhile, most other platforms bend over backwards to make development easy.
I personally had a blast and absolutely incredible time in both CS 61A and 61B. That they're "weeder" classes can be considered true only from the perspective that they're challenging classes but note that almost all CS/Math classes in Berkeley are highly challenging and these weren't outliers at all.

Before coming to college I had tons of programming experience and two interships. I wrote websites, backends, real life applications shipped to customers, school club websites, I even taught C++ in my high school's IEEE chapter. CS 61A completely changed my perspective on how to think about code, I found it so valuable that I could graduate just with 61A, study everything else (algorithms, data structures etc) myself and be fine with it (this is likely an exaggeration of course, there is some value to finishing a traditional CS curriculum).
It seems like now, more than any time in recorded history, the answer is "yes".

Yep. Most of the non-developers probably couldn't set up a HTML page. And the developers can also be too busy.

Many years ago, I wrote my own homepage in PHP. With every version of PHP it needed to be fixed again, so after a few years I gave up. I tried to install some existing software, but you need to update that regularly, too often. So now I am happy that there is Substack I can write on (despite complaining about its functionality all the time), because otherwise I wouldn't have a blog.
Certainly. I satisfy my conscience by not flying and biking all distances under 20 kilometers.
Do you have any supporting data for that view or, rather, what might convince of the opposite of your view?
It's curious and sad to see so many people comparing the products on price when they should be comparing value; what they enable you to do, and how well. If you merely wanted to save money you could buy nothing.
I don’t mean to sound argumentative, but that’s a knee jerk response.

I dont know. My close relative works as infrastructure engineer at major automotive company, and about every 2 years they are buying new computation clusters (think tens to low hundreds thousands of cores, along with network and storage infra). Every time a public tender is held, and every time there are several companies promising to achieve required results with whatever hardware.

Last decade I know of three different firms being selected, where they guaranteed to succeed on speed requirements (some even saying its tested inhouse), only to admit failure after year of trying, taking all their hardware back with no pay. IBM at higher price was selected as backup, and every time was the only firm actually able to deliver on their promises and meet the benchmark requirements.

I often see IBM getting a lot of flak here for whatever reasons, just sharing some counterweight.
I share the same feeling about compose. I used to put things in Makefiles, to also have the dependencies of containers of other containers. But I have not yet found a good way to replace `docker compose up' functionality, in case the containers are already running. It does some magic to only replace the containers that need replacing and keeps things running.

If anyone has good ideas, please share!
Yes. Kindle is around 65% the ebook reader market in the US. Nook is about 25%. Apple and Kobo make up the rest. Kobo is more popular in Canada and in other international territories.

Well, kids can technically be raised on almost nothing but that doesn’t mean they should be, because there are consequences for doing that which will stay with the adults those children become for the rest of their lives. Probably, the ideal point is somewhere in the middle, as it is with most things.

Even so, kids are a large sustained expense that can’t be opted out of once they exist and are one of the most common strains on relationships both financially and emotionally — even just one kid can take a couple from thriving to struggling depending on their circumstances. In short, kids are risky, and it’s easy to see why many couples don’t particularly care to take that risk.

Following that, if governments want more people having kids, they should be throwing all they have into de-risking raising a family.
Are there major micro/restaurant payment apps in China other than WeChat? I imagine it's difficult to compete with an app that's preinstalled on every phone, integrated with every bank and used by every restaurant and street vendor. And that's ignoring the social network effect of the 900+ million daily users.

Do you think any parents have ever known that answer? Before climate change was the Cold War and threat of nuclear annihilation, before that was two major world wars, before that was a string of wars and plagues going back to the beginning of humanity.

If you think climate change is a good reason to not have children you need to stop and reexamine how the media/doomscrolling have affected your thought process.

I see this reason given time and time again and I just don't understand it. We're currently living in what's probably the best time ever to be a human. We get to live in air conditioned houses, many medical issues have been all but eradicated, we have (for the first time ever) too much food, etc.

Otherwise if it's just an excuse - you don't need one to not have children. If you just want to maintain your current lifestyle that's up to you.
Fair, I suppose— both are remote build systems that you have to put trust in when you pull their tarballs.

But even in a world where Debian's reproducible build project completely achieves all its goals, a given docker build is always going to have temporal state in it if it depends on external images or a mutating package repository. So yes, you may have the Dockerfile that purportedly produced that disk image, but you're unlikely to be able to completely rebuild or verify it unless you also have a snapshot of the apt Packages.gz.

A nix2container image could in principle build completely from scratch, in just one command line invocation, with no external cache present, and get a bit-for-bit identical result. The only real "trusted" input that you have to start with is I believe a small busybox binary and gcc toolchain that is the initial bootstrap.

While in the article said "8k video", I suspect he meant 8k live streaming. Which means right now or lose it forever. You can do hybrid if you want. Local cache on hardware that records on 8k, and streams live to 1k, so bandwidth is not exceeded.

To make a statement. When the Prius came out it was clearly designed to be very unique so people knew it was a new type of vehicle (hybrid). If you wanted to make sure everyone knew you were being environmental, you got a Prius because it was obvious.

The uniqueness was a driving force in getting the concept of hybrids to be more accepted, since at the time the whole concept of any type of electric vehicle was completely foreign, and seeing these unique things on the road actually helped them to be accepted.
Seems like the best option from a limited selection for most of us.
