Life is composed of both happiness and tragedies, but tragedies by far outnumber the happiness. If I were to specify an exact number, perhaps somewhere in the vicinity of 9:1 tragedies:happiness.

Some of the tragedies are also guaranteed and unavoidable from the moment you are born.

My conclusion is the result of a long internal deliberation fraught with weighing the countless factors which compose life. This conclusion is mine and mine alone and everyone else should draw forth their own rather than take mine as gospel or inspiration.

I simply do not value life highly enough to be worth forcing another life into experiencing it. I am perfectly happy to have my bloodline and heritage end with my death; it is not worth continuing whatever the arguments put forth.
You may be right. Though if the articles author is right that they hired too many devs, then they probably could have had a team of 30 sf salaried devs instead of 130 lower salaries and would have done more with them (theoretically)

If a tax benefit relies on destroying an asset, to claim the benefit it should be necessary to demonstrate that you've made a good faith effort to sell it for fair market value. Courts supervise this kind of thing in bankruptcies all the time. Seems reasonable to put a high (multi-million) floor on the write-off before this kicks in.

The Ideology is common people having baked in prejeduces, not becoming aware of them, and I'm continuously baffled how so many people on HN can't see beyond their own default view.

The other Ideology is DEI usually being a pet project in corporate, more there to use for PR than to enact real change. HR will always reserve the right to fuck you over with all means available, and if that includes your race, gender or religion, they'll happily use that.

I didn't find any amount of "so hostile" comments.

I think what makes the vibe hostile it that this is the sound of social cohesion tearing apart and there is the implied worry that "it might get hostile" unless things are fixed.

But that is not the same thing as hostile. It is discussing a problem.

Where do you live? I'm a bit older but pretty much all of mine and my wife's friends have kids.

I'm actually really curious about the childless older people. Like I have a couple friends without kids but it's not like that because they are too busy doing fun awesome things. They are more of the ill adjusted habitually complaining types where they themselves can't form bonds because of a tumultuous childhood.

> How often does this need maintenance though?

Moving parts in salt water? Frequently.

The positive thing about this design is that maintenance is potentially much easier than on an seafloor mounted turbine: if the tether is long enough, you can just make the craft surface next to a maintenance vessel with a small crane. No divers necessary, and no giant crane platforms like for offshore wind turbines, either.
I think you can work this out backwards: if it was genetic, to a significant degree, then we wouldn't see it around. I believe that the largest predictor for the number of kids is socioeconomic circumstance, and culture.

Great feedback, noted.
Those runways still serve a ton of 737/A320 flights that have plenty of room to be upgauged to widebodies, and most of those runways could increase capacity further still if FAA/ICAO decide newer tech can safely reduce IFR separation.

Even with runway congestion, a big problem with an A380 successor is that any new commercial jet needs the fuel economy of two engines to have a chance of selling enough to be worth developing. Which in turn means that an A380-sized twin engine plane needs engines with ~50% more thrust than the current world record from a GE9X, which is already approaching material limits...

A new 747-like plane with a partial double deck might eventually make business sense to develop within our lifetimes... But I think a blended wing (lol) is more likely than ever seeing another full double decker like the A380.

Taxation is literally and entirely about wresting resources from individuals to serve the larger needs of a society that individuals are unlikely to address.

It's literally there to serve infrastructure and rebalancing needs without which the individuals end up sitting in ruined playpens, drowning in their own filth and unable to do commerce with anybody else.

Never mind about when the 'individual' is a corporate entity that rightly or wrongly thinks itself obligated to chase the most ruinous short-term strategy it can find, as a matter of fiduciary duty. That just exaggerates what already happens with ambitious human individuals.

Tax law is only and solely about forcing people to do what you want, starting with the very concept that people will never want long term thinking or cooperation in any significant way. (in fact, people will want cooperation, but sociopaths, human or corporate, will tend to stomp all over the cooperation-wanting people, wreck their stuff, then want a tax write-off because the stuff they wrecked is now broken)

The parent commenter also doesn’t know what the word “housing” means. Being able to afford housing means being able to afford a place to live, it doesn’t mean owning your own house. Just like being able to afford food doesn’t mean owning your own farm, having access to drinking water doesn’t mean owning your own well or river, and having access to the internet doesn’t mean owning your own ISP.

To be clear I agree that affordable home ownership is a big problem, but not being able to afford home ownership is a very different thing from not being able to afford housing, and substituting one concept with the other is just an intentionally dishonest way of muddying the waters of any discussion on the topic.
Some kids are also not good, so at least that part of the analogy tracks.
So it's not confusing, you're actually just opposed to it on a political basis.

The word mother is fine but it isn't inclusive for trans men who can also give birth. It's better for their mental health if we use gender affirming language. This is supported by research and the health services of many countries support it.

Dictionaries change every year. I think it's better to consider the health and happiness of the people around you than to be slavish to dictionary definitions.

Apologies for making this political point on Hacker News, I know it's discouraged. Just felt the need to call out the assertion that the language used was "confusing" as I know we're all smart enough here to understand simple words.
Pro teams are going 28 mm or even 30 mm at the front and 32 mm at the back. Some measurements from Tour de France 2023 at [1]

One of the reasons why larger tires are better is that the size of the contact patch to the road depends only on the internal pressure of the tire. A 20 mm tire and a 40 mm tire have the same contact patch but their shape is different. The one of narrower tire is aligned back to front so the wheel is less round. The contact patch of the wider tire is aligned right to left, so the wheel is more round and it rolls more easily without dissipating energy in elastic deformations. You'd have to inflate the narrower tire to double pressure to compensate, but then the ride is less comfortable and you can double the pressure only up to a point.

That was about rolling resistance, then there is aero. Wind tunnel tests discovered that tires should connect smoothly to the profile of the rim without making the classic shape of everyday bike's wheel: a wide tire in narrow rim. They must have the same width instead and a fatter rim is more aerodynamic than a skinny one. Hence the drive to wider tires.

However there is catch. A wider tire adds more mass to wheels and they are the worst place to add mass to because it works against you every time you have to make that wheel spin faster. You add mass to the frame and all the static parts of the bicycle if you really have to. And finally a very large tire (100 mm or 4 inches) is obviously too wide to have a reasonable front surface at high speeds. The sweet spot nowadays seems to be around 30 mm. Note that UCI mandates cyclocross tires to be 33 mm max, and they must work in muddy conditions. Road bikes are at almost those widths.

Morality aside this might be a death sentence to both the ongoing F-35 deployment and European efforts to deliver F-16s to Ukraine.

Both the Netherlands and Israel supplies critical components to the F-35 and Israel will most likely stop delivering its share until the Netherlands starts delivering their share.

The only reason so many European countries have been able to allocate F-16s for Ukraine is because F-35 series production was finally kicking off but this puts a stop to it.

Algebra only really has defined precedence between multiplication and addition/subtraction. In all other cases, even division, there is either a non-linear textual representation, or parantheses are required. You have fractions, exponents, radical signs, various signs which appear only at the beginning of an expression (sigma, integral, lim) etc.

Even multiplication is often distinguished more by the shape of the text than by actual precedence rules, once you leave basic arithmetic - expressions like "1 - 3xy + 2y²" make the order of operations obvious from text layout, which is why they are preferred over "1 - 3 × x × y + 2 × y ^ 2", which no mathematician ever writes.
Doesn't that also mean it scales up the negative consequences just as much? More code = more maintenance, risk, bugs, resource usage etc.

Sometimes these things are worth it because the manual process is error prone and perhaps frustrating/stressful (these things can't be measured as easily). But sometimes they are not examined critically at all.

How often? How many? How important? Are there simpler solutions?

Kind of depends on the receiving end of the questions in my experience. Some people are happy if you push back and keep things simple, others have problems with that.

I wonder how much does scale affect these basic principles. I would assume that with scale you already have a lot of problems that push even harder towards not implementing every single thing.

You being a millionaire doesn't mean you aren't still dealing with that trauma. Some people internalize their abuse, forcing themselves to ever-higher levels of achievement to try to be worthy of the love they never received.

Your dismissals of parenting concerns are borderline emotionally abusive in themselves, gaslighting others' experiences by repeatedly claiming that things are "just fine" on the whole. For many people, things are not just fine, and not having children is a valid response to that, and an empathetic one.

How to invest in new age (techy) business models

I know nothing about the specific issues here, but as you mentioned do-ocracy: Would it be viable to fork carto and merge the good stuff that has been originally rejected, then asking openstreetmap.org to change their map renderer to the fork?

(once again: very little knowledge of OSM, so maybe that's overly naive)

Is it? It's one of the most trans-inclusive conferences I've been to. There's a lot more women at recent editions as well. I suspect the audience was a reasonably fair representation of the IT crowd in Belgium and surrounding countries. There's something to be said for the lack of diversity in IT in Belgium, but you can't really blame FOSDEM for that.

You’d be surprised how disconnected from reality people are. There’s talk in every western country about population aging and housing affordability yet people cant see either. Office workers are out of the child making equation and they are the least aware of the world outside. Being constantly gaslight and ordered around does that to you. But the issue is that the trend is to obliterate all types of income sources outside office cattle farming and fewer people will afford the luxury of a family and friends.

Too good to be true?

I assume this does no harm to fish. And electricity can be easily transported back to land ( there was no mention of how this was done in the video ). Since it is portable, small, fits into a 40ft Container. And you could mass manufacture these, ship it with container. There isn't another manufacturing problem and transportation problem like wind turbine.

If Yes. You could have tens of thousands of these in north of Scotland of or seas around England.

Surely there has to be a catch somewhere. Right?

I was surprised how big the conference is, and how diverse the attendees were, and it was great to meet and talk to maintainers of many pervasive open-source projects.

It was also nice to hear so many people tell us they've already moved to OpenTofu :)
Didn't realize there was so much variation from field to field. Even inside 'social sciences'.

I'd like to see this across all, including STEM.

Note: I'm using 'social science' colloquially. On HN, seems like Psychology is a 'social science'. Anything dealing with people is deemed a 'social science'. Even though that isn't technically correct, they are separate fields. There is a 'Social Science' field and a 'Psychology' field.

> "The amount of work".... oh dear. As if caring for other people is only work. From what will you get distracted by having other people around you (kids)? From Instragram? Cycling? Reading books?

What if they prefer Instagram, Cycling and Reading Books rather than raising children? Why are you so concerned about other people's lifestyles? Are you going to pay their rent or help them with their chores?

I decided to have a child, and it was a conscious decision I made with my partner, fully aware that our previous lifestyle would be no more. Deciding not to have a child would have been equally as valid.

I find it funny that this discussion elicits so much passion from people that decided to have children. Do you need validation from other people to justify your own decisions?

Whenever I am asked about it, I say that you should not have children unless you are absolutely certain that you want a child in your life, and that your life is stable enough to accommodate one. The world sucks even in the best of times. To condemn someone to existence when their lives will be made more difficult is selfish and cruel.

The big thing about electric I think is you can run fans off a common electrical bus powered by the engines. If you add a battery you have the advantages of faster throttle response and the ability to fly with your engines out or throttled back.

If you hit wind shear while landing you can increase power immediately not in a few seconds. You can take off and land under partial power to reduce noise. If you lose your engines you can probably fly 200 miles just off the battery and glide slope. If you lose an engine on take off you don't have loss of thrust or thrust imbalance. Rarely you could dump all your fuel and land off battery power.

The above are all nice to have.
