I once fell and hit my head, sliced it right open. It was traumatic. Not any of the aftermath like having to go to the hospital or so on. Just my head being hit. I could have died. I could have died. It took me days to process this. There was something in my head for days preventing me from thinking properly, from feeling emotions properly. There was no concussion, no actual cranial damage. It was all psychological trauma.

Imagine if it wasn't an isolated event but if you knew there's someone out to get you, and who continues to be a risk to your well-being. Say, domestic abuse. SA. Something like that.

Try saying there's nowhere to draw the line between that and "mere dislike".

No one should have to suffer that. That's why there are laws against things like rape and murder.
The RM2 is a great device, but it only does a few things, but does them very well. Notetaking/PDF annotation is excellent. They recently added a type cover and are continually adding text editing features.

Their desktop app and their whole cloud sync is absolute trash. Uploading documents is basic, but it works.

It's a perfect device for a grade schooler, I got one for my wife but my 7yo eventually took it over. It has just enough tech to be able draw, take notes, read e-books/PDFs, and recently, write documents/stories on.

Linux systemd-timesyncd seems to have some limit, too. When our appliance-like systems get an invalid time from the hardware clock, they boot with a system clock of 2019 IIRC. systemd-timesyncd does not correct that depite me assuming that the ntp server works correctly.

Well, it happens rarely enough and we have workaround, so the bug report still sits in the queue behind more urgent problems. Haven't read the source yet, which is what you should do on Linux of course...
Do those 10 engines have ten different patents? Then definitely take away 9 of those patents if they won't use them or FRAND license them.

If all the prototypes were for the same patent, there's no issue.

For the draft comics, I think you could pretty well argue those are part of the same work. And I'd be okay excluding projects under a certain size from the rule.
If we eliminated the accounting fiction called "depreciation", and instead simply had all expenses deductible in the year they were incurred or paid on a cash basis (with net losses carrying-over to future years), this wouldn't have happened.

This has become my favorite comment on hn
> It goes hand in hand with urbanization

Haredi/Hasidic/ultra-Orthodox Jews are an interesting exception to that – a predominantly urban/suburban subculture sustaining a high TFR (over 6 in Israel).

A stringent religious doctrine which promotes large families may be the only thing which can overcome urbanization's encouragement of lower TFRs. In the long-long-long term, it is possible (not certain) that subcultures with that characteristic will end up numerically dominating the population.

> It's in this decade that they start running out of working age adults and shit starts getting really screwy

The obvious answer is a significant increase in immigration rates. Of course, for political/cultural reasons, some of the countries you mentioned don't want to do that. But, if the economic hardships of population decline grow big enough, they may become bigger than the political/cultural resistance to it.

In the long-long term, that strategy is going to fail, because the immigration source countries are on the same demographic trajectory, just further back on the curve. Still, the point at which it fails may well be long after we are all dead.
ModCon 2023: The Mojo Dance
I’ve worked at companies that ostensibly sell a hardware thing, and that thing was very poorly designed. It had everything to do with a combination of inexperience, hubris, and sloppiness, and absolutely nothing to do with malice. Some places are likely evil, but others are just dumb.
If there is enough money around for that to be possible, I don't see how people could call that a crisis.
It was later edited, after it had basically made the rounds.
Your words are racist. Why are you entitled to quality of life and enjoyment of “how things once were”, but people trying to help their families escape from poverty in “3rd world” countries should be shunned and doomed to cyclical poverty in countries which, by and large, were devastated by the actions of “1st world” countries?

And if you are not an indigenous Australian, why were your ancestors worthy of migration to Australia, but the immigrants of today should be considered destructive of your culture?
The Apple one is truly painful this year. Very off-brand and expensive for the wrong reasons. A clear indicator of the changes between the Steve Jobs years and the Tim Cook years.

And, as another poster pointed out, that's from the company that had arguably the best Super Bowl commercial of all time, for the original Mac.
There is no single easy answer, and I'm not a management consultant so I have no interested in trying to sell one. You simply have to do the hard work of understanding the constraints you are operating under and exercising good judgement on how to work in that environment.

And, now I eagerly await the dozens of replies I'm going to get telling me that exercising good judgement and common sense could only mean that I am in fact following the True Agile (unless it doesn't work, then it was obviously No True Agile process).
i'm not a parent, but from observing the parents i know, i think you're incredibly lucky to be able to travel with your child and have it not be a burden. the norm seems to be "add an hour and hundreds of dollars for every activity you do with kids, and add unbounded levels of stress if you're the mom"
Ouch.

I'm sure leadership and HR think they're dodging bullets too...

I love how LA just paved its river, and then questions why there's so much run off. Like, where did you expect the water to go when you've paved everything?

My city got tired of the river flooding the downtown area, so decided to reroute the river. Of course, they made it much straighter than it would naturally form. So nearly a century later, they started to go back and add in bends and areas for the water to pool in areas. It has done a lot in a positive direction.

Nope. Just because you own land doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with it. Especially with wetlands. Ecologically, they are extremely important and usually fragile.
Don't forget that supply and demand also apply. There have been times in the recent past where we had a shortage of good candidates in the hiring pipeline. Right now, largely because a couple major players in our area have cut back, there are a lot of great candidates in play. From the hiring side, we are interviewing so many people that we are all starting to get a bit burned out on it, but we know it is a buyers market right now, so we are not wasting any time, and also keeping a high bar. I don't know what any us can do about it when it is our turn to be a job seeker in a buyers market -- except to adjust expectations and sharpen focus on jobs that are a best fit for demonstrated experience. Hiring companies don't need to take risks on "people that could do it" in that kind of market, because they can hire someone "that has done it recently."
I’m no lawyer, but I bet it would at least require a permit. The county would review it, make you do studies to see if it would be bad. It’d take years, and nobody would be able to prove that it would hurt the ecology of the river, or inconvenience any downstream users, so it would be a judgement call. The county would deny your permit application for no good reason, and you’d have to go to court over it. After years of motions, rulings, and appeals, it would end up in the Supreme Court where they would rule that the EPA can’t veto this particular project because the river doesn’t cross state lines and the EPA was only given permission by Congress to regulate those waterways which are shared between states. It would take another year before the permit was actually approved. After all, what is a government for except to get in a man’s way?
That is much less than “almost an order of magnitude.“
> Maybe it's a symptom of shoddy writing in videogames that anything that strays from the norm gets praise.

I think it’s this, combined with the fact that the funniest and most forceful video game reviewer of the time (Yahtzee) was super polarized on both those games. I’m not gonna necessarily accuse GP of this, but I do feel like I often see people seem to regurgitate Yahtzee’s opinions without having anything deeper to say than what he said in his video.

Technically, stubbing one's toe is an example of blunt trauma. Of course it's on the milder end of the scale, but that's how you would classify that kind of event.

It doesn't make any sense to claim that, starting now, the expenses to release are higher than the revenue they would get.

Already-spent money doesn't matter because it's not coming back.

If they cancelled many months ago, the expenses to release would have been a much bigger number. That's why it wouldn't have gotten the same complaints.
I think you’re absolutely right, especially about #4.

We are wealthier than ever. It’s not the money.
> College is expensive but attendance rates are high

A lot of "college is expensive" is a US-specific problem, not one universal to the Western world. In many European countries, public universities are tuition-free. Even in those Western countries with non-nominal tuition, it is almost always significantly less than the sky-high US levels.

The fact that many countries have cheaper higher education yet lower fertility than the US suggests that, even in the US case, this is unlikely to be a big factor. It likely makes a difference at the margins, but only at the margins.
Good find. I believe that the “new channel” restored it to something like what it looked like in 2015, if I understand the descriptions correctly.

This should be a civil issue in my humble opinion. Make it possible for employees to seek and obtain civil damages against infringing employers. Jail time unnecessarily drags taxpayers into the equation.
GMRS has absolutely nothing wrong with it. We're clearly in the era where if you don't understand the alternative options, you're going to get scammed on fundamental featuresets.

Upstream, if you're an ordinary civilian (read: "non-technical founder") trying to solve a problem, you either have to disregard prior art (in this case GMRS) or gleefully dive into product development without any research into the state of the art.

Tragically, there is still a market for things-with-apps that will continue to fuel the scammatron that itself thrives on cost savings via wholly inadequate engineering. You seriously trust a company that can't implement security to ship an impact-rated helmet? Conversely, why would you trust a helmet company to do anything touching authn/z?

I'm pretty sure the world was at least as terrible at any given point in the past, we were just much less informed/aware of it thanks to the lack of Internet like mass-communication.
I unfortunately can't find the source right now, but I recently came across a study that found that, in the US, number of children was almost completely uncorrelated with regional cost of living but was quite correlated with beliefs about the amount of effort/time raising a child requires.

I think our culture of expecting/demanding that parents invest ever greater amounts of time and effort (with all the evidence suggesting that these increased investments do not improve long term outcomes) is a far bigger driver than costs.
Yes I want to live in a world where this happens. It’s a wonderful world even if this particular aspect isn’t great.
I'm a newly minted head of analytics who transitioned from a different domain, so I never had to muck my way through the MDS but attentively watched others from the sidelines over the last few years. Best I can tell, "the modern data stack" is just a marketing phrase invented by a cadre of vampire vendors. The lessons I learned watching others translated into a few simple requirements for our nascent "stack" that most importantly include transparent pricing I can reason about and divvy up, as many integrations as possible so I can minimize rolling my own, and a straightforward framework for ETL code. These three requirements plainly disqualify most of the MDS universe.

With the benefit of starting basically from scratch and not having to mess around with real-time analytics, it's pretty easy to ignore the MDS vendors. So far I've landed on BigQuery, AirByte, GitHub, BI Engine, Looker Studio, and Pandas 2.x or DuckDB for local stuff. I send as many things as possible straight to BQ, lock junior analysts out of gigantic tables, archive periodically to partitioned parquet files in cold storage, use mostly turnkey integrations, and ruthlessly prioritize custom ETL jobs. Putting GitHub in the mix isn't super ergonomic and we may be in the market for new tools once we cross the "big data" frontier, but that'll be a while from now. I'll probably never know or care what the MDS vendors think I'm missing.
I'm talking about reading. Some kids who have a hard time learning to read in English would have an easier time learning a more phonologically normal language. They would also have an easier time spelling, but I was referring to the ability to sound out words.
Have we lost faith in technology?
I can't deliberately set fire to the money in my bank account and then write that off as a loss.

The movie is an asset, it has some value, the way to determine that value is to make a good faith effort to sell it (auction or broker of some sort) and if it sells for less than you have spent making it, then you can write off the difference as a loss.

Deliberately destroying the asset and then writing off the entire amount you spent on it is probably tax fraud.
>. It's surprising to find out that East Germany was actually the primary supporter of Arab countries and Palestinian groups in their wars against Israel.

My father had 10 siblings and my mother had seven. I had seven siblings myself with over 30 cousins on both sides of my family. I have four children and my and most of my siblings each have six children or so. My mother has about 24 grandkids at the last count Maybe. Further, I live on the same street as two of my sisters and I have another sister that lives down the street, with my brother living 3 mi away. Only two siblings live out of town.

My children routinely play with and enjoy being with their cousins. My daughter has a hard time making friends but she says it's okay because at least she has her cousins.

I have had a very rich experience with many of my cousins and I think these cousins are growing up even closer together both physically and emotionally. Would highly recommend the lifestyle.

Large families are such a blessing when you get older. Kids are an awful lot of work for the first about 10 years but boy are they awesome every year after that. When my grandmother is interacting with her children and grandchildren at reunions it's like she's holding court, the queen of an empire.

It isn't a more difficult undertaking. It was never easy, we've just been raised softly and do not value children the same way previous generations did.

An outlier in many places, but not most. Only in the Western first world is this now normal.
I guess the older I get, the more unclear I am on what normal is supposed to be or what it ever was. What percentage of men historically even had children? My impression is that it has always been significantly less than the percentage of women who do.

I guess it depends, I had to draw a family tree when I was at school, many years ago, and I stopped once I hit around fifty cousins.

So on the one hand I have a huge family, but on the other hand, the practical hand, most of those cousins I never met. I've heard their names, I've sometimes seen pictures of them, and family gossip means I generally know what is going on with them but that's all.

I think there were 3-5 cousins who were similarly aged to myself, and who I saw every week or two, or daily during summer holidays. But the rest? I'm not sure what people would be missing out on there ..
Criminal penalties were included due to a clerical error that copypasta'd clauses from elsewhere.

The opposition refused to allow an ammendment that removed criminal penalties.

By way of comparison, there are just under 30,000 gas stations in Japan, which itself represents a 50% dropoff from previous peaks and leaves some people needing to drive long distances for gas (c.f. https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-data/h01830/#:~:text=As%20th....). That's still pathetic.

A lot of people wait way too long to have kids these days. Prime fertility is your 20s. After 30 more and more people will have trouble conceiving.
> the only country where it's not free

Hyperbole. And false.
I can only speculate of course, but I think something that'd increase birthrates in urbanized society would "simply" be arranging things such that raising a family isn't so exclusionary.

In a developed society, people are more likely to have many things they want to pursue and achieve, and due to various factors (financial and otherwise), having kids usually entails giving up on most or all of that. That probably seems like a pretty raw deal to a lot of folks, considering we all only get one life to live.

If it weren't so necessary to put off all of these things until the kids have left the nest and youth has been spent away, I'd bet a lot more people would choose to become parents.

The line is at claiming a loss for tax purposes. Destroy the film if you like, but then you get no tax break.

There's a similarity with the "hobby loss rule". In order to be a valid business who can deduct business expenses like losses, you have to demonstrate that you have a "profit intent". That means that you make at least an attempt to turn a profit on your work. If you don't, it's considered a hobby and you don't get to deduct any expenses.

If Warner Bros is going to make movies just to delete them without even trying to sell them, that sounds like they're just indulging in a movie-making hobby rather than being in the movie business.
