I'll agree that it's rare for people to get to the top in life without taking some dubious shortcuts but that maths doesn't seem right. Someone being 1.2 times smarter than average (or some other metric) can probably extract orders of magnitude more value out of the system with enough intent and motivation (without being dishonest). I think it takes much less than you're thinking, but I don't have anything to prove that.

ISPs routinely block customers who distribute spam and malware or violate AUP policies about hate speech, and this isn’t new. In 2002, Hurricane Electric’s AUP prohibited “use of Hurricane’s network to harass or threaten (in the legal sense of those terms) any other person,” and “advocacy of violence against any specific person or class of people is prohibited” was added six years ago in 2017.

At the end of the day, I’m not terribly surprised that this website falls under the same umbrella. For trans people, getting targeted by this website is a lot like getting targeted by spammers or malware: your home address starts getting hate mail, your friends and loved ones start receiving death threats, your employer starts getting unsubstantiated phone calls asking why they hired a pedophile, etc. In Liz’s case, this site still distributes her driver’s license and SSN (“minecraft number”), which aren’t available online elsewhere.
Google is supporting WASM heavily, e.g. with their Android and Flutter teams both working hard on WASM support. They require Wasm GC, which the Chrome team has already implemented and Firefox is not far behind.

>Maybe 10% of people were like that

That's 1-2 a day minimum!
> I can understand sexual desire, but is there really a "desire to have kids"?

Yes, unequivocally there is such a thing as a "desire to have kids". Speaking for myself and many others I know!
What does this add to the discussion?

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
I had that 555 timer book and project kit as a kid.
The thing that struck me about having kids is that no individual task is all that hard, but there are a lot of them and you have to be available at all times. It can wear you down like any other on-call situation.
10% customers being abusive seems _extremely_ high.
>In the case of a national security incident, the US gov/military would have popular apps cracked open ASAP

But it just doesn’t work like many people think: the policeman says ‘open it’ and it gets opened by the company.

Imagine a bank vault containing something security critical. If the US government needs it but the key isn’t available, it will move heaven and earth to get the best vault breachers and experts of circumventing bank security, regardless of the cost.

You can think of it as a one-off job, at a high price tag, without the guarantee of success. But phones are easier to breach (more points of failure) than a bank vault.
Accessibility isn't that hard for the common cases, and the DOM doesn't handle the uncommon cases anyway.

There are x-platform UI frameworks out there. Making good ones is hard but again, HTML is not a good UI framework by any measure. Normally UI toolkits are compared based on the breadth and depth of their control library but HTML barely tries to compete in that realm. It prefers to focus on things like advanced typography.
>the richer you are, the fewer children you have

Not entirely true, there is a reverse-parabolic correlation [1]
After certain income level, number of children per family increases.

Middle class is shooting itself in the foot economically by having children, that's why there's such correlation.

Have there been any societies in the past where women were allowed an education but men were not, because the reverse was common.
UN projections have also been dropping over time:

https://ourworldindata.org/world-population-update-2022

> Its previous release projected that the world population would be around 10.88 billion in 2100 and would not yet have peaked.

> In this new release, the UN projects that the global population will peak before the end of the century – in 2086, at just over 10.4 billion people.

> There are several reasons for this earlier and lower peak. One is that the UN expects fertility rates to fall more quickly in low-income countries compared to previous revisions. It also expects less of a ‘rebound’ in fertility rates across high-income countries in the second half of the century.

I propose some type of markup language combined with a simple scripting language for interactivity.
the tab key is my friend here.
I do not see a reason to rank the causal factors, but I can point to a few societies where the women and men are “educated”, but the women lack the rights they have elsewhere (either legally or practically).

If you don’t understand why this isn’t true, I would respectfully start reading about what the platform does. It’s not like it was around the turn of the century where PCs and Macs were roughly equivalent.
I somewhat agree, but 2 things:

- Adoption/fostering isn't actually a guarantee for all people. It's a challenging process that may or may not be successful.

- Just some gentle advice: mentioning "just adopt" to people suffering infertility is considered a faux-pas. It's best to avoid it.
The Guardian is absolutely a British establishment newspaper. You can simply observe how they reported during the lead up to the Scottish independence referendum, or when Jeremy Corbyn became leader of the Labour party.

As soon as there's any perceived threat to the British establishment they'll be running the same stories as The Telegraph.
I usually hear that something like a Leica Q (Q, Q2, Q3) would be a step up in lens and sensor quality. They have full frame sensors, the newer models have a higher resolution and a matching lens. It's also a step up in price... Used Leica Q models are not out of reach price wise. M cameras often are.

I bought a Q2 just be for the Covid pandemic and I kind of expected to be disappointed, given the ratio of capabilities and price. But I wasn't. I actually like the output of the camera.
As someone who just had a kid, I agree. You don’t have to overthink it. At the end of the day all they need is a calorie surplus and shelter. That’s it. Everything else is a bonus. As a parent you can put as much or as little work into it as you like. Time is going to pass and they’ll grow older regardless. It’s not like a tech startup where you have to put work in or it’ll crash and burn.
Nautilus (Ubuntu's file explorer) allows to mount SFTP folders. Supposedly it uses `gvfs` under the hood.

Note that SFTP uses an SSH connection for its file transfers, so I have not seen an UI difference from SSHFS
Building it is half the battle. It also has to calibrated which is done in a wind tunnel. Wind angles for all directions (both laterally and vertically) have to be tested to see which measurements need to be adjusted to account for the interaction of the wind with the sensor itself. Wind speeds have to be similarly tested. For a one-off sensor, this is expensive. Less so if you make thousands of the same design.
And all the warning they get is a random guardian article in the slew of media rain.

This society is completely broken. My craving to return to the 1980s and 1990s is just getting worse and worse.

We replaced so many functioning structures with an ocean of mirages.

I legitmately have not seen an adult man who looks and acts like an authority figure should, in about fifteen years.

I literally cannot take 90% of 'authorities' seriously. Their advice is self-serving and just telling the truth about circumnstances is enough to end the conversation and burn out emotions, never mind getting to the point in the conversation where an informed decision could be made.

Discipline in the management structure used to be the backbone of society, now every level is scheming for themselves, and breaking the structure to get there. Or just low effort incompetence, understandable in the chaos. Or just friends killing time, promoting friends and family.

Everybody's here today, gone tomorrow in commitment and planning and structuring some jobs is a chaotic nightmare.

People keep leaning harder and harder into tech to ASSERT authority. Not a gosh darn soul in this country actually believes or cares what their phones/scheduling system tells them. The apps update every few weeks anyway and we can all sense the impending global lockdown coming, so why bother.

And in this chaos we have to commit to literally any woman, have kids and a house and gamble our lives on the churn.

Society used to be predictable and rational, now the media has gone to the dogs, the 'adults in the room' are not believable and are pushing more tech tyranny.

There's literally nobody to turn to. Grifts and false hope is virulent. Churches just want you to do their thing, with zero practical application in the short term. The media is a total clusterF.

The compassion from the comfortable families is a dismissive band aid, so they can go back to ignoring reality.

If I were younger I'd join the military just for the permenant sense of order.

Now don't mind me, I'm going to waste another 6 months battling C++ without anything to show for it, because solving some small tech problems is my best bet at keeping my sanity and providing a sense of achievement, that I <insert real name here> did something that was believable and good, before I lost it all to government and time.

All people want from a regular joe, is to control him. Literally everyone and their dog gives their condemnation and their gut reaction as 'advice'. Then if you don't immediately comply, it's taken as sufficient reason to ignore you.

Life hurts and then you die. Where is the children in that?

waves my countries' flag sardonically
i think the smart thing to do is to have kids when you are 20 and then enjoy life when you are 40. at that time you are much better off financially (unless you live in a country where you have to pay for your kids education maybe) which gives you a lot more freedom to explore your interests.
I think portraying him as having "built his empire from the ground up" (apologies if I misquoted you, I can't see your post anymore as it was flagged) is misguided at best and very dishonest at worst.
Well... check out QuickJS: the bulk of the code is in a single 55k LOC C file: https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/blob/master/quickjs.c
> I think there's a selection effect going on here [...] So, I don't think "boy who cried wolf" is a fair analogy. Tech companies aren't always right, but it's not as if they're automatically opposed to all new policies; and when they do oppose politicians' proposed policies, it's sometimes for good reasons.

I think you are missing another, equally massive, source of information politicians are exposed to: lobbying. We see Microsoft complaining about mergers, but politicians are exposed to non-stop lobbying.
One thing I would note is that, unlike other utilities, Cable and Internet are not deemed 'necessary' in the us. This means that they exist in nearly unregulated space when it comes to their business operations. These Cable companies are remarkably careless and are liable to take rather abusive actions such as delivering non-functioning service and then billing tech charges to 'fix' the service with many customers ending up in a loop of paid techs coming to fix things they cannot fix because the issue is elsewhere. It is a brutally helpless feeling and when the only thing that can make you feel in control is a gun...

All of that is to say that the companies really do put the techs in harms way in their operations.
It seemed like that when you were saying how you hate "that attitude".

Nevertheless, that statement does not say that there is not a life for everyone. It merely states that there is an inner drive to have children, see them grow and ultimately take care of you and the world. And this inner drive exists despite many people trying to say otherwise.

I mean it might be cool to work for $BIGCORP and build your career. You get cool things like nice car, nice suit... But the $BIGCORP will not hold your hand when you are scared before surgery, it will not help you move something when you are old and most certainly will not wipe your butt when you are too old to get up on your own.
I Dont get what you mean. Why is it better to use rust or go or whatever to write react like code templating, reactive or htmlx than it is to use typescript for the same.

Typescript is ok overall and the various frameworks / libraries used to generate a browser elements are really to my simple take not so much a language workaround than the best some very smart people have envisioned to build/update browser elements
Well maybe in another language react hooks wouldn’t be so quirky

Nah, I've seen the lives of my friends who have kids. I'm happy for them, but my wife and I don't want that life. Sounds like having kids was the right choice for you, that's great, but don't preach at us.

We looked at the choices, and made ours. Don't tell me it was the wrong choice, without knowing literally anything about me or my wife. That's pretty patronizing.

That’s suppose to be for “worker protection”. But the average senior enterprise CRUD developer[1], in the US makes more than many BigTech workers in the EU. I’ll take the tradeoff of more money over being laid off any day.

Yeah. Lebron James (or whoever the best paid NBA player is right now) is probably only marginally better then the average or even worst or even almost but didn't quite make it to the NBA player.

Everyone is paid for the last 5% of performance though not the first 95%. People get confused about that when they complain about the BS of jobs. You're not getting paid for the BS - you're getting paid for the moments when you bring something to the table.

Not sure where you are but here in the UK I have been taking my children to the playground on my own for 10 years now and I have never seen this happen either to myself or another Dad. At the weekends I'd say it's mostly Dads in fact.
Probably not, but there are countries where women are allowed an education and still do not have the rights they should have. Which is alluded to by the fact that they are “allowed” an education in the first place.

It's only a good option if you're not going to be involved with business in the West that much. Once you start thinking about moving to the West, or setting up a business in the US or EU, be prepared to be asked a LOT of questions, and being demanded non-existent paperwork (because Dubai authorities don't bother with stuff that would be important in other jurisdictions). Speaking from experience.

The income tax and the corporate tax in the free zones are the only big draws, but who knows how long they'll last? The mainland already has a 10% corporate tax.
You suddenly start caring more about the politics of your neighbors (i.e. people who vote in school board elections) when you have kids to raise.
I'm in the same boat. Just a shy kid who never got over it.

My grandfather died when I was three and I think it hit Dad hard. I was determined to find a woman and have children even if it meant doing so if not married. My Catholic parents were very against that it was unspoken but very obvious in their attitude.

My Dad died a few years ago so my plan fell apart. Now Mom is old so she is not long for this world either. But even so I am early 50s so unless I win a lot of money, get famous fast, find a foreign wife (who won't murder me), or somehow father a child I'm SOL.

It is depressing especially seeing in later life how family support is great to have. When I'm old I'll have nobody. And I mean just regular stuff having someone to drive you to appointments, help with home repairs, finances. There are a lot of scammers and bad people ready to pounce on elderly.

We need old time forced dances where a lot of us shy folks are forced to interact.
>>> I am not sure how this has anything to do with Chomebooks. Those who dig into a technical system are always going to be the minority. I also drive a car, but have little understanding of what makes it go vroom.

> It's still the minority. People are interested in what they like whatever that might be. Kids that want to understand the nitty gritty of computers have and will always be a minority. For those that want to learn more, they have the option of looking it up on the web to expand their knowledge. It has never been easier.

You're being too binary. The issue isn't whether it's a minority or not (which you seem to be focused on), it's how big that minority is. The issue with Chromebooks is they provide extra hurdles to digging deeper, and that's going to discourage some kids at the margins or that minority.
The elites don’t want you to know this but the regrets at old age are free you can take them home I have 458 regrets.

Much of it can be "path not taken" but you have to work hard to distinguish actual real regret (which will involve understanding why the choices were made, and what about the choices was wrong (e.g., "I underestimated the work vs reward") vs the "nobody wants to talk to me now, if I had kids I could force them to."
What you suggest is technically possible but it misses the point: Whose job is it to guard the police's key? The chance that that key will be stolen and a breach will happen to all the police's messages is 100%, either because the police aren't good at IT security or because an insider will be bribed or (worst of all) a dictator takes over and decides to read all the messages without due process and everybody who wrote a message critical of the dictator gets "disappeared."

By not sending a copy to the police, you can guarantee that those things won't happen.

Datatypes in particular are amazing! I really wish some of these features (see also: ASSIGNs) made it over to other platforms. Which makes me think... A really nice hack (after I finally port SetCmd back to 68k and then bring it to more platforms) would be to add an ARexx port. Rexx itself is a pretty decent scripting language and the ubiquity of it on later-day Amiga systems meant that glue-ing components together and automating big chunks of platform behavior was very simple. Off down the rabbit hole again ;)
