I find the argument here to be so incomplete that it verges on silly. Raising a child is difficult, and nobody goes into it wanting to go it alone. The question is not "is single parenthood bad", it's "is single parenthood worse than the alternative of forcing parents to stay together despite a toxic, loveless, or unfaithful marriage".

Of course, ideally, people just shouldn't be having kids if they're not absolutely sure that they want to be raising children. The best salve we have for the overall problem is access to birth control.
What is your goal here in this conversation?

Would you have the women stay with their abusers and their beaters so that the child can have “two parents”?

People don’t leave relationships because they’re good, safe and healthy.

Love is what helps a kid grow well and the comradery and care two adults can have for each other can be reflected into children no matter the gender of the adults who serve as examples.

I'm not sure how you would go about selling a 200 unit apartment building to humans? I guess you would demand that all apartment buildings go condo? This is often used as a way to get out of rent control, so the companies are already doing it in some markets.

As one bit of anecdata: there's a proposed development in my suburb of Perth just 3km from the city centre along one of the major bus routes. It's a 13-storey block of flats that got whittled down to 9 storeys by NIMBY backlash and the NIMBYs are pushing for six storeys, because that was the council's plan several years ago. This has been dragging on for over a year now.

There's not just endless land in Australia but there's also endless room to grow cities upwards. There's nothing technical about our lack of housing, it's 100% a decision.

Yes but we must also consider what he thought would be the benefit of promoting the fairy stories for him? Of course, fame. The famous person who discovered and proved to the world that fairies exist.

Doyle was not a scientist but he admired scientists, discoverers of truths and he desired to be one. He also desired that other people should believe him, that would give him great power.

Think about all those conspiracy theories floating in US today, why do people spread them? It's a Ponzi-scheme, the originators of a conspiracy get great power by having many followers who believe them.

The other side of it is that of course people want to believe great stories that might prove to them afterlife will be better than the current one. JFK is still alive, anybody?

Unity having financial trouble is like a shovel-factory going bankrupt during a gold rush. It means they screwed up /pretty/ bad on the business side... You likely don't need 7000 people to build a top-notch game engine, and likely invested way too much in side-bets which haven't panned out.

My experience with people like this has been that they have a "yes, but" to everything you say; some reason that makes them special and not subject to the laws of the domain. If they haven't put the work in to become craftsmen, it means that they don't want to (they want to BE a craftsman, not work to become one).

After this situation has happened enough, you eventually realize that brutal honesty really is the most humane approach, because otherwise they just aren't going to listen, and it'll be one long, unpleasant train wreck.

My wife and I had just started sending our daughters to public schools when the pandemic hit (kindergarten and pre-k). We were excited about some of the special programs available in our school district. But the public schools handled the pandemic so much worse than many of the private schools, some of which stayed in-person throughout the pandemic, sending students home in clusters of just 6 to 12 when someone got sick... when nearby public school districts were closing down entire districts at a time on the strength of a single student's illness. We moved our girls to a private school that stayed in-person, and I don't think we're coming back anytime soon. We're pretty happy where we are, and I expect that public schools will need to spend significant resources managing their social and academic pandemic fallout, leaving less time for students who have not (yet) fallen behind.

I like your answer.
As the author said, "If someone can talk you out of being a writer, you’re not a writer." By corollary, I'd say if you need or expect consideration from someone you're asking for feedback from, you're not really asking for feedback. As the author puts it, you're asking for a pat on the head.

Consideration is always nice, but if I didn't get it from someone who was giving (free) candid advice I wouldn't call them a dick for it.

The interesting comparison is between the US and Europe, where divorce is also widely accepted. Americans have more children than Europeans, and American children are more likely to live in single-parent households than European children. These two are probably connected. Americans are more likely to have children in situations where Europeans choose not to.
As a positive, maybe we can consider this a bit like wfh vs in-person. We had this Dickensian workhouse version of work as somewhere you go for the day and give someone else your time. And in the best cases, this turned into outcome based work where you got paid to deliver some result.

Likewise, the idea of school as a place we lock our kids in for a fixed number of hours per day is potentially dated, and it would be interesting to see how it could transform to something more aligned with what we actually want to achieve as opposed to the process.

There is also a link, school prepares you to tolerate spending your day somewhere being told what to do. Maybe we can do better.
Yeah the new stuff is awful. I made a joke to my wife that Sesame Street got gentrified.
At Hamilton shows, ticketmaster used the payment card as the ticket, you simply swipe the card used to buy the tickets at the entrance and it pulls it from that data. Seems like a fair compromise, assuming it’s actually secure.
The dynamic at YC isn't even remotely close to partners lording over the co-founders. It's not the employment relationship you seem to imagine.
Impractical, perhaps, but sale-to-person on day of show is the only way I see that can prevent scalping. That is, you can by as many tickets as you want in person, but you must present a body for each ticket purchased.

Of course, this approach has its own problems, including possibility of riot, long queues, and surprise venue fees scaled to handle crowd control.

I've had my fair share of highlighting/annotating shenanigans with macOS built-in software and I've found Skim (free, BSD licensed) to be a highly competent replacement, with the only caveat that you have to remember to export the annotated PDFs if you want to be able to see your changes from any other application.

My dad’s first big rock concert was Lou Reed and he tells of the show exactly as you have.

Funnily enough he also was very disappointed by the Stones, and how they seemed so cocky on stage and that they didn’t care to sing half the lyrics aloud. Of course this was back in the late 70s/early 80s.

I’m under 40 but while we’re on the subject of rock “legends” on stage, no performance I’ve seen has matched Elvis Costello I saw in 2011 or so. He played acoustic guitar without a band backing him nor any kind of stage lighting to speak of, and it was mesmerizing.

You've strung a lot of words together that are not attached to reality. Plenty of people are acting very scientifically with regard to trans people—there are hundreds of studies in this regard. "Correlation is not causation" is the beginning of the conversation about the relationship between the two, not the end. (Observational data plus a solid theory is a very powerful way to establish causation.)

The idea that social acceptance of transness is causing more people to identify as trans is is not entirely without merit, but needs to be thought about critically. It is true that people who have low-key gender dysphoria would treat it with increased salience if they became more aware that trans people exist, but that is very clearly a good thing. Society should generally allow people to be true and happy to their selves.

Moreover, while the general direction of social progress has been encouraging, the magnitude of it has been relatively small. We have a very long way to go before we can even begin to control for social stigma as a factor in trans suicidality rates. This last point is evidenced by comments in this very thread.
Density is a factor in this for sure, but I think weather/climate is also a factor. It gets cold in Boston in the winter for example, and in the PNW it's raining and on the cooler side for a good chunk of the year. In those climates people tend to want to get back indoors quickly and not loiter around, and that carries over even into the warmer months.

But Christianity is irrational because it is based on Bible, and there are so many contradictions in the Bible. So whether Christianity rejects or approves Spiritualism doesn't tell us much.

Of course Christianity rejects ALL other forms of irrational belief. And so do all other "true" religions.

Buddhism is relatively cool however, it focuses on how we can alleviate suffering of living beings, not of spirits.

This is a great idea.

Also this would be very valuable for folks joining large organizations who need to keep track of who is good / bad and capture how happy they are with whom they work with.
You know this would mean that a change to a vector under 32 elements is O(n) right? (Which it isn't quite in all cases, because the actual implementation is a bit more complex)

But this doesn't apply to hashset because hashmaps are sparse, and stored as pairs, meaning that they're effectively base 16. Also the clojure implementation of sets is just hashmaps where the key is the same as the value.
I am very confused by your response - how are we in disagreement in the least?

Okay so it is what I think it is. Equal day and night. Just with a few equally fascinating pedantic details that make it not quite exactly true.

I could go for more articles like this. In the little details that usually don’t matter are motes of fascination.
I think one of the points that the author is trying to convey is that there's no simple "no" available. The only "no" is one of two bad options.

My guess is that given the having to say "no" in this context over and over means the difficulty can get to you and you end up saying "yes" on occasion.

Doesn't sound pleasant. It's hard to say no.

I’d love to see IPFS native protocol support in curl, to be honest.

After all, curl already supports dozens of other obscure protocols: DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET, TFTP, WS and WSS…

One challenge of doing this correctly is that curl is intended to be a “one-off” call that downloads and exits without participating in the swarm the way a good BitTorrent client should. Granted, presumably this IPFS gateway solution also has this problem.
The smoking gun is the fact that this story could absolutely kill his golden goose, which is easily replicable. In the next few weeks there will be 10 new competitors for ChatGPT wrappers, all armed with paid marketing budgets to try and get a piece of this high margin business.

The only reason he would risk committing business suicide like this is because building the personal brand is more important to him than keeping this business afloat. If he really wanted to grow the business, there seems to be enough margin in it to support very aggressive paid marketing

That’s the sophomoric take. The only reason you had the opportunity to buy a pallet during a shortage in the first place is due to idiotic “price gouging” laws.

During the pandemic the price of toilet paper should have been increased by an order of magnitude at the store level. This would prevent hoarding and it would make sure people who desperately wanted it could get it. Additionally, it would have incentivized producers and sellers to fill demand.

Price controls are the equivalent of rations. They don’t solve anything because they remove all of the incentives.

Andy Weir once gave a great bit of writing advice: never tell people what you're working on before it's done. His reasoning was that it prevents you from seeking the dopamine hit of telling someone your idea and having them like the idea. Instead, it forced you to keep asking yourself if you think this story is really done. This avoids the trap many aspiring craftsmen fall into that makes them want to bypass the hard work and developing your inner critic.

Andy also had a great strategy to start writing: put it on the internet. Nothing is better for brutally honest feedback than the internet. The Martian was certainly way better for it.
> By corollary, I'd say if you need or expect consideration from someone you're asking for feedback from, you're not really asking for feedback.

I don't agree with this statement. Being reasonably considerate and empathetic is a mandatory requirement of all human interaction, it is not optional just because you are in the position of being asked for something. It's not "a pat on the head" to be helpful and not insulting. Everyone has the right to be treated decently provided their behavior is minimally decent. Asking someone to do something for you is not sufficiently indecent to earn a rude response.

Further, if your goal is to make an impression on someone where they agree with and believe the point you're making, being an asshole to them is unlikely to do it. This story is a case in point - the person thought he was being rude and disengaged, and did not take his advice.

To be clear, I am not saying the author of this piece was intentionally being rude. Just that it makes a lot of sense, from the outside, why he came across that way given what he said.
Real question…when you say “can be handled” is it because they’re defanged or because they are socialized and likely won’t bite?

Nah, much easier solution: digital tickets that you can't sell. Ticketmaster could do this easily, their tickets are a rotating code (like an RSA key) so you can only sell a digital ticket either a) with their permission or b) by giving the stranger to whom you sold it your ticketmaster log-in creds. The latter is pretty easy to stop, you could easily make it unfeasible for scalpers to create accounts, buy a ticket, then give the account away over and over.
If the scale winds up being that eliminating my microwave usage and throwing out plastic containers from my house entirely reduces my plastic consumption 1 %, then I wasted a whole bunch of time and money, and distracted myself from trying to find ways that _would_ reduce plastic consumption (say, filtration on municipal water - but who knows).

Single source municipal recycling is typically a process of sorting and selling certain kinds of waste to other people, with little processing happening locally. This process is way more wasteful than people would like to think, with changing and opaque rules about what is acceptable and what will wind up just being thrown away. I'd give that as an example of a policy that promotes a certain amount of effort to make people FEEL like they are making a difference, vs actually making a significant difference.
Good example of why "engineering" only works as a loose metaphor and isn't meaningfully similar enough with software for direct comparisons.
