I find it interesting/surprising that the word "divorce" never appears in this article. My understanding was that the divorce rate also was lower for college-educated people. I'm also surprised by lack of mentions of family planning -- are single parents without college educations actively choosing to be parents or tripping into it?

But overall, this seems circuitous. The author acknowledges that inequality is both a cause and effect interacting with marriage, and cites several ways that kids are better off in two-parent families -- but the description of those comparisons makes no mention of controlling for these other factors. So one can have a lot of skepticism that a poor two-parent household, where both parents need to work long hours or multiple jobs to cover rent, where housing is less stable, where surprising costs (a broken-down car etc) turn into catastrophic disruptions, will turn out healthy successful kids. But the finding that kids do better in two parent families already selects out a number of metrics -- educational attainment, future earnings, lower rate of getting in trouble at school or with law enforcement - all of which are desirable irrespective of family structure. Those seem like better goals, which we are already pursuing just relatively ineffectively.

You want more kids to go to college? Make college cheaper, make colleges spend more money on instruction and less on administration and coaches.

Want kids to have fewer behavioral issues at school? Well, stuff that could make their home life more stable whether their parents are married or not may include safe, affordable, stable housing, and IDK, schools that don't have to do active shooter drills b/c of the real threat of being invaded by a well-armed crazy person might be nice.

Want kids to grow up to earn more? I think Piketty's focus on the share of growth that goes to capital versus labor is important. Generational wage stagnation in real terms is still critical.

Want kids to get in trouble with the law less? In my city, the police did a mass arrest of hundreds of kids skateboarding recently. No one's top concern about crime here is "too many kids are skateboarding". Maybe law enforcement should focus more on e.g. corrupt local officials, employers with systemic wage theft, landlords dangerously skipping repairs and maintenance, etc etc rather than kids on skateboards?
Unity stock declined 25% in the first two weeks of August, and it went up 15% in the first two weeks of September. Looking at Unity's stock chart for the past year[1], a 10% decline looks pretty routine, so I think it's hard to pin this on the announcement.

> But given the sheer number of comments I've read over the years recommending Rust as a replacement for C++,

> What gives?

This is The Hype Wave, where something is new and exciting so it's recommended over the things of the past without regard to whether it's as stable/full featured/correct. People are excited about Rust so Rust has been jammed into just about everywhere to varying degrees of success/correctness. This is the same as Javascript/Node and Go over the last decade-ish. Zig and Mojo are probably next.
Is the GWOT relevant though? It seems like one of the biggest issues the us military is facing a shift back towards "conventional" military matters, aka potential future faceoff's with China or Russia. These opponents field a significantly different set of weapons than we saw in GWOT.
There's nothing new in what you described. Saying "they arb and use lots of data" contains exactly as much information as saying "they buy low and sell high". The implementation details are everything.
not very. i guess i was too cavalier in hand waving it as a yum update. some of it was switching to a new repo with the most recent version available. but that was still just using yum. not like it required changes to the code base and workflow. maybe it was an amazon-linux-extras command for the actual package change, but still.

Hard disagree. Saying "two parents" is faster and easier than saying "a mom and a dad". Listeners can fill in the gaps with their own biases; the speaker doesn't need to.

Anyway, I'm not the one failing to communicate usefully here. Did you actually read the original comment? It has no meaningful content. It is just a more verbose way of saying less than the title of the article -- unless you read it literally, in which case it's an explicitly homophobic way of restating the title.

Cognitive testing is a can of worms that would lead to endless bickering, and the problem with politicians not retiring isn't simply their lack of cognitive ability.

It's that the age skews so high that politicians aren't truly in touch with the electorate and are bias towards the concerns of seniors.

It's that baby boom generations end up building disproportionate amount of clout which is basically unbroken until they literally die, and forced retirement would break up these networks of clout faster.

It's that it's a double standard to set an age minimum but then not set an age maximum and instead rely on schemes like neurocognitive testing. If an age maximum is so unthinkable because it's vile ageism - so is an age minimum.

Maybe set the maximum age at 75 at the start of their term. Sanders, Biden, Trump, Feinstein, McConnell, and Pelosi should all not be running. Setting term limits would also have the same effect of driving down the average age of the congress/senate.

- "The Holocaust museum has pieces with Hitler's signature that someone had to buy and donate. They are still important historical pieces."

Then, would you approve of someone auctioning Hitler signatures to private collectors, like we're seeing here? That would be a serious crime in many countries. The context matters here, and I'm not impressed that the context of this auction is a respectful and sober one—that they can hide behind "for historical purposes".

E.g.

- "among these are 14 scientists awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics or Chemistry for their monumental achievements, as well as pioneering nuclear researchers, military personnel, and Manhattan Project organizers."

- "This remarkable compendium of autographs of the scientists and military men that played a role in the development of the bomb is an absolutely one-of-a-kind piece—an irreplaceable relic of the most momentous development of the 20th century."

This plainly glorifies the nuclear bombings. I don't agree with your comparing this auction to Holocaust museum exhibits. They don't look similar.
I'm actually really confused by this claim, as a person raised in a non-white immigrant household. I bought onto the idea of churches as community because my immigrant churches were full of apple picking, group meals in the church itself, thanksgivings at the pastor's house, etc. But someone recently told me in Catholic mass you don't even get a church-wide breakfast?? WTF? How the hell does community get formed if the actual worshipping actions isn't inherently a community building action? Someone told me the guy can bless you if you don't eat the bread, but you can't even ask for a specific blessing, like "my son needs an A, can I get the whole church to pray for him" style stuff.

I'm way more skeptical of the notion of church as a community now. If all the church community is via volunteer charity actions, just volunteer directly unaffiliated with a religion.

My point is that tons of people have wanted to do this and tried and failed. There is too much to model and existing models don't have predictive power. Basically when calibrating the models there will multiple sets of parameters that fit past data and produce wildly different predictions. If you could devise a general macroeconomic model that made accurate predictions you could become ludicrously wealthy. Even accurately predicting corn prices 5 years out would net you considerable returns.

So many things that effect economic behavior just aren't really quantifiable. Even Keynes who was a proponent of modeling and economic planning acknowledged this[1]. Hayek talked about information being too decentralized and preferences arising organically, which made planning(modeling) imprecise and inefficient if not impossible[2].

types have nothing to do with this, strictly speaking; the same problems would exist if you serialised structures containing functions in a typed language to e.g. a dll or a .class file and asked users to load it at runtime

By looking at other similar countries that havent gone that far.
So a similar thing happened near some friends' in France. A military jet crashed into the forest near their house, but the air force couldn't figure out where it had gone. Eventually a farmer noticed that a new pond had appeared on his land. The jet made enough of a crater when crashing that drained the nearby swamp and created a new pond deep enough to conceal the full fuselage, thus completely hiding the airplane. Once the farmer alerted the air force, they were able to crane the remains out of the newly formed pond and recover the key parts of hardware onboard. Had the farmer not noticed the change in landscape they might have never found it. https://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/2011/03/02/97001-20110302...

Not all are fair. Grab acquired Uber's operations in SE Asia.

They lied on the app about how long the cars would arrive, so people opted for Grab when booking on both platforms. They'd offer bonuses to drivers that were impossible to obtain (e.g. drive to a location without road access). They'd offer X in bonuses then pay out 0.7X, taking a cut from the promised bonuses and from tips. Uber would loan money to drivers and then let the drivers they banned keep the loan. Grab would withhold payment to drivers, ban drivers who got less than say, 4.5 rating, then not pay out the drivers they banned.

All fair game, all legal. The rough play helped them win, or so they think.

I've had requests from 3 people who wanted to build a ride hailing app. It's not worth the time and I'd discourage anyone who thinks they could stand up to Grab with just implementation ability. But if there was a code base, I'm sure some would be happy to take the mantle.
I also read the book and liked it a lot. Based on the extensive focus the book gave on their data collection (e.g. going into local state offices to digitize records), pipeline and academic rigor, i would think it's just looking for correlations and focus on medium term trades (minutes)

It's easy enough to do, but it requires a strong culture of honesty to not trick yourself. For instance you can regress performance based on 32 different lags on another variable and you'll almost certainly find spurious correlations. But in a more comprehensive framework you can adjust your score to account for such a search.

The people in the book state that they see the data no more than numbers and don't even try to come up with a story. And they can only do so because they trust their system to handle spurious correlations

I said it in another comment, but just wanted to reinforce this. The things people -- professionals and amateurs alike -- did with Hypercard were amazing.

I think Hypercard faltered because of the confluence of a number of things, primarily:

(a) Apple's years in the "desert" and Jobs' return, losing focus and then regaining it in a laser-like cut-all-that-is-not-essential reinvention, and

(b) the advent of the web; cgi; php; mysql, etc. -- soon devoting effort to a Hypercard stack would be isolating oneself on a small and shrinking (relatively speaking) island

InvoiceNinja. The install instructions had a few misses but has an API and webhooks so it's great to integrate with.
We started using CircleCI in early 2016, I believe. There have been two major migration points. The first time was when they went from circle.yml to .circleci/config.yml, around 2018, which might have corresponded with Workflows. The second time was when they got rid of their old converged docker containers and moved to custom container runtimes (and a new set of images, none of which did _quite_ the same thing as their old images).

Neither of these took tons of effort to resolve, but both broke our builds and made us spend time thinking about CI when we would rather have been iterating on our products. When their later migration happened, Github Actions was just coming around, so we figured that if we had to rebuild and re-test all of our CI, we might as well move it to a more reliable and cheaper runner. Now we only use CircleCI on a handful of legacy repos.

> It's easy to get emotional about this.

For most of Hacker News, it's easier to avoid the emotions that would come with actually looking at the horrible things corporations are doing to our society. You'll defend corporations no matter what, pretending to take the "rational" approach, because you benefit from corporations that are doing many of the same harms.

But being unemotional in the face of constant corporate destructive behaviors isn't rational or normal, it's effectively sociopathic. Yes, I'm emotional, because I have a conscience and I listen to it. You don't get to dismiss what I'm saying because it's emotional. Not being emotional when companies do shite like this is the problem. It's not my emotions that are the problem, it's your lack of emotions that's the problem. Where is your conscience? Why aren't you emotional when corporations do harmful things and profit?

> But when I try to be fair, I acknowledge that "little-to-no ongoing service" is probably not completely accurate.

Bro, I'm a freelance full stack web developer, and I've been the part-time sole developer for sites that serve millions of customers, because you don't need even one full-time dev to maintain a system to which you're not adding new features. There's literally nothing you have said I'm not aware of, and I'm saying "little-to-none" because that's accurate.

The largest costs here are hosting fees. If the system is at all efficient, that can easily be handled for <$10k/year, but let's just say $100k/year because even that amount is literally irrelevant. Millions of people book with the NPS yearly and pay a $6 fee. There is no way the money here comes even close to being reasonable.

You aren't trying to be fair. You're trying to defend corporations at any cost, like many folks on Hacker News. Your ideology is one of the most harmful forces in our society today.

The Curiosity Daily podcast had a related topic this past week. There are plans to plant 1 billion (or 1 Trillion) trees at various levels of government (WEF is the 1Trillion number). So researchers went out to try to find saplings from local nurseries that could supply the diversity of trees that would be needed. They found that less than half the nurseries could supply saplings - and very few were 'climate change friendly' saplings, most were decorative or other non-climate-friendly trees.
