It is wrong that our society rewards drinking beers with tech bros and “skydiving” hobbies and what not fucking weird stuff.

And doesn’t reward that much investments of money and parental time into having healthy and educated kids.

Educated and well rounded kids, teenagers and adults don’t come free for society. It requires a lot of work, money, time and love. Ridiculous amounts.

To a degree this resource can be stolen from other countries, via immigration. But this only works to a degree and at a larger scale it is still a zero sum game.
There are satellites in orbit right now that have their reaction wheels harnessed backwards and have a x *= -1.0; //DO NOT TOUCH in the codebase.

Everyone does it, though usually you do the test before you duct tape it to the top of a few thousand kg of explosives and push the red button :)
I’m sure there are FE devs who aren’t like this, it’s just been my experience over the last 3 years. I don’t mean to be disparaging, I’m just frustrated.

To add to the issues, the FE team has a dedicated QA team, we don’t have any QA for the backend, we just need to do it ourselves. But the QA team doesn’t know what they are even looking at (they’ve never spoken to us). They make sure the UI does UI things, but don’t understand the goal of what it should accomplish, so we (the backend devs) end up needing to do a significant amount of the FE QA, as what they are looking to release is just bad.
But I don't understand why destruction is required for the write off.

An IoT juice squeezer is a physical item that costs something to make every additional unit. Every unit you make can actively lose you more money.

Compare to a film.The marginal cost of each digital copy of a finished film is basically zero. The money is already spent.

The only thing I can come up with here are royalties, but they should be based on some percentages of revenue right?

If you release a turd movie that cost 100M to make and only nets you 5m in revenue after royalties, can't you still write off the 95m and have almost 5m more than you would otherwise? How would writing the entire 100m off ever be preferable?

Something is clearly weird where this is advantageous. It's not clear from the article why this trick actually works for movies.
> This isn’t saying the tax break is bad, it’s saying that deleting a film is what’s bad.

That's a true statement, though. What's wrong with saying that?

And if you change the tax breaks, you can get the desired behavior without imposing additional rules.
the US at the start of the 20th century was sort of a shit-wreck of works projects to impose manifest destiny on whatever part of nature that happened to irk us that day. the LA river is what it is today for the same reason anzo borrego has no more natural water, the salton sea is a boiling chemical pit, and the east coast was a toxic dump up until the nineties with things like the love canal projects.

The river flooded in 1938, tearing out bridges and trestles. It killed more than 100 people, trapped movie stars on their San Fernando Valley ranches, and forced a three-day delay in the Oscars. The water tore away the Warner Brothers studio’s prop department.

That flood wrote the real river’s death warrant. It was the Depression; L.A. needed jobs, not a killer river. The river was timbered and troughed and cemented over, mile after mile. Only in parts of its 51-mile bed would it assert itself and remain persistently unpaveable: for about three miles around Atwater Village, and along more than two miles at the broad reach of the Sepulveda dam wildlife area.

It took 20 years and 3.5 million barrels of cement, and now we have a paved river as a testament to the hubris of man. fwiw, it did not solve the floods this year.
Dutton greatly overstates his competence to be able to do that, of course. This comes on the back of their ridiculously stupid flailing about over Stage-3 tax cuts (promising to reverse tax cuts that benefited 85% of income earners much more than their own plan, which was to mostly just give a big tax cut to the top 15% of income earners, then working out that was a dumb strategy and ending up looking like idiots walking that back and then voting for the Government's bill).
I find it interesting to see how would something like Javalin work if coupled with Spring DI. Throw the Spring web stuff out and use Javalin instead. Spring web always felt archaic to configure when you want to go beyond simple CRUD operations like implementing sophisticated RBAC.
Evolution has equipped us with a pretty generous frontal cortex so we have a sort of escape hatch to reflect and decide on whether to act on our biological imperatives. Reduction of human beings to 'biological organisms' as if we're humping rabbits is no less weird.
It was far worse. Imagine having kids when they could get polio. Or taken from you and sold as slaves. Or conscripted and sent to war.
Yeah! curse the water and the locals show up with torches and pitchforks, dont ask how I know...

You're baffled people aren't having kids? What bubble do you live in? People straight up can't afford housing much less children. The avg American is completely priced out of owning a home right now.

Edit: the replies - y'all are out of touch. Visit an average family in the Midwest with a household income of < $100k/yr that doesn't own a home yet.
I literally couldn’t let it happen. The thought was roughly as palatable as intentionally ‘groining’ a coworker on a guardrail or letting a kid walk into traffic.

After getting chewed out, I never walked them out early though.

I guess that is why FAANG told us to not talk between ourselves and put everything into the system for the HC independently - so we wouldn’t know what we were in for, and would give each individual interview a fresh shot without all the anticipated pain and suffering. Makes it easier when you can’t see the nut shot coming I guess?

Makes sense, but yeah - terrible.

To be fair though, out of hundreds of interviews I’ve done, that was top 5ish for bad. Most were much better.
Or smell related, either estrus cycle, or 'strange pig, attack!' reactions.
I've been trying to buy books related to the Spectrum, for the past few years.

It's actually surprisingly hard to come across more than a few - now and again ebay has books, for example, but most people seem to hoard them (understandably) and lots have been damaged/tossed/lost of the years.

I have a small collection, but I expect it won't get much bigger even with my willingness to pay €40+ for some of those titles.
If you're using https://newsboat.org, you can add a filter (killfile) to remedy this:

ignore-article "*" "title =~ \"#shorts\""
ignore-article "*" "content =~ \"#shorts\""

Not perfect though, since it only ignores videos with hashtag '#shorts' in title or description and not all shorts includes that hashtag.

It's not so much the expense but the timing. People are in college during the peak fertility years. By the time they graduate and get a job and spend a few years getting established, fertility is already declining.

I'm an engineer building a company solo. I've used AI (GPT-4 specifically) to do all sorts of roles on an ad-hoc basis. Marketer, Data Scientist, a bit of Product Management, Graphic Designer (I used Stable Diffusion to create my logo). I also use it to do code review in the absence of other engineers to do this.

Given that i'm bootstrapping with no investors as yet, AI has filled all of these gaps to the point where I have a good base to keep building on. All without hiring a single employee. Also i'm based in Australia.

Appreciate you weighing in directly Brandon! To be clear though, I didn't mean to say that protomaps was potentially a better solution (of course an uncompressed DB makes much more sense), simply that the developing nature of the protocol meant that it's inclusion within the "ecosystem" shouldn't be a closed case :)

Which is to say, distribution of OSM data feels like a large part of the process. Of course there are various bottlenecks / considerations around edits / writes, but in practice surely reads are the bigger vector. I wonder how many OSM-external use cases rely on "minutely" updates or need the full fidelity of the raw data source. Feels like there is a solid case for providing less frequent (hourly, daily?) official updates via official "single-file" formats that could be widely distributed to the benefit of all, and e.g. allow OSM to loosen up their hot-linking policies and ensure continued investment in the chosen protocols.

But mainly I was questioning how a somewhat proven format like SQLite, with its many benefits (interoperability, distribution, etc.), would be so easily dropped from consideration without even a test having been run. Just my thoughts of course!
Love seeing demoscene on HN. Excellent work.
Yes, nevermind the most expensive housing, education and healthcare ever, even in inflation adjusted terms. No it’s the children who are wrong.

Try to actually do the math on school shootings, and compare it to car crashes when you were conceived. If you were objective and considered risks equally, for school shootings to even come into your calculations (instead of immediately dismissing it as not worth your time) the world would have to be almost utopian. Try to calculate how many times more likely it is for you to have a miscarriage than any of your potential children to even be anywhere near a school shooting.
Use GPT-4, it's better than 3.5.

If you use a free tool, use Gemini Pro (which is the free model on bard.google.com), it's also better than GPT-3.5 (but not better than GPT-4).

The output doesn't have to be verbose, you can instruct it to be concise.

There's a GPT in the GPT store which translates verbose GPT output to human-like output. There's probably other custom GPTs that can help too.

You can make your own custom GPT with the essays as context, upload them as .txt files.
Trauma -> an experience that threatens your way of being / safety above and beyond what you’re capable of handling at the time.

It exists on a spectrum. So there’s large and small traumas and something that is traumatic for one person might not be for another.

To the spectrum point: seeing your friend killed in war can be traumatic. But also, if you don’t have the emotional tools to handle rejection, then that can also be an event that overloads your emotional system. (Not making value judgements, both no good)

PTSD -> post traumatic stress disorder. A group of symptoms that are believed to be originated from a traumatic event and have certain characteristics.

An event can be traumatic but not lead to ptsd.

Playing a little bit of devils advocate here. I wouldn’t say I’m in the crowd of “it’s trauma if you think it is”. However it can be useful to look at the processes of how our emotional processing system handles events, even if the systems someone is facing don’t reach the level of full on debilitating PTSD.
From experience, I can tell you that women are far more attracted to the beer-swilling bros who jump out of airplanes than the quiet, introverted engineers who retire each night to their homes to relax while cooking dinner and watching TV. That doesn't make for a particularly interesting date. So it goes.
Indeed - it could equally be explained by dementia/Alzheimer’s being a contagious disease, such as a prion or similar protein malformation, which quite a bit of current research seems to suggest, and it simply had not become endemic at that point.
Hello, and thank you for your time. Considering its current features and focus, Aurora seems more tailored towards beginners. Practically, in less than 5 minutes you can have a working model applied to your data without the need for a steep learning curve. Another advantage is that Aurora is not limited in terms of the number of lines and columns in which the data is divided. Looking into the future, the plugin based system will give it an advantage of a rapid development of new functionalities without the need to make changes in the base code. Also the future possibility to connect with various data sources will be an advantage.

> To a degree this resource can be stolen from other countries, via immigration. But this only works to a degree and at a larger scale it is still a zero sum game

It can actually be a net negative for both the home country and host country of the immigrants. The home country may lose some of their more ambitious members. And there is a significant cost to a host country that is now accommodating a potentially large number of people from faraway places with vastly different cultures. (Some may ignore or deny these costs, but they're real and being felt in many ways e.g. in the US right now.)
Have you noticed that much, much poorer places often have a much higher birth rate? I think there is something else going on.

And I mean poorer in terms of actual living conditions on the ground.

> Would I want my children to be at risk of school shootings?

Everyone is at risk of everything. Since the beginning of time.

> Would I want my children to have to deal with the fact that I can’t afford to pay health care in the only country where it’s not free?

I agree the healthcare situation in the US (where I’m guessing you’re based) is not ideal but it’s far from the worst. Medicaid exists. CHIP exists. Obamacare exists. A competent enough parent would be capable of efficiently using their resources if their childs health was at stake.

> Would I want my children to have to deal with the current state of the internet…

The internet is a double edged sword where it can both be a blessing and a curse. It’s 100% possible to raise a kid to have a healthy relationship with the internet. Just don’t give them an iPad at 5.

> Housing crisis…

Yeah housing crisis is hard too. But markets fluctuate and who knows what it’s going to look like by the time a kid grows up to be of home-purchasing age.

I’m sad you have such a negatively skewed view of the world. I don’t think today’s world is “extremely ugly” and “extremely unfair.” Compared to life 100 years ago, I think we’ll be ok.

I don’t disagree with you that life can seem bleak in the present, but people have brought children into the world under much harder conditions. There is something particular about post-industrialization that has caused this attitude shift.
If you could choose any time period (and assuming median standard conditions, so cannot choose being king), which period would you think was best for raising children?
That is easy. If they claim the contract-encumbered work is worth 0 dollars for tax reasons, then anybody (who does not intend to commit breach of contract) should be allowed to buy the fully encumbered work for 0 dollars and the original owner can take the loss/write-off.

That should get like the central 90% of cases. Probably need some fine-tuning to get the rest and reduce opportunities for abuse (maybe some minimums, deposits for legally complex products, etc.), but the core concept should be sufficient to develop a robust solution.
Terraform is great but it's so frustrating sometimes. You just pray that the provider has a specific configuration of whatever resources you're working with, because else when them resources are up on multiple env then you'll have to edit those configs somehow.

Life expectancy is heavily skewed by infant mortality, which was of course rampant.

If you made it past your tenth birthday, you had a 50% chance of making it to 50, and a 25% chance of making it to 65.

En masse, that makes for an amply large population of people in the age range for dementia to draw conclusions.

I've been listening to Radiolab for a few years now on my runs, and I generally enjoy it a ton. Occasionally they really really dumb things down to the point of making me wonder who they think their audience are. But oftentimes they produce these amazing gems like Zoozve or Alphagal for example.
Let’s be a little charitable here- having and raising children has been a much, much more dangerous proposition health wise even at your parents generation to say nothing of your grandparents generation.
Yes, you can start fires with uncontrolled currents. This is what fuses are for. Also what my sibling comment said; start small, blow up small things by making mistakes (like putting a transistor in the wrong way around and pushing several amps through its inherent body diode; we've all been there), and then you'll be confident enough to start playing with actual power electronics (if you want to).

What you'll find though is that, as a result of everyone before you making the same kinds of mistakes, there exists protection circuitry for almost everything you would want to do. For example, Lithium-Ion batteries are quite unsafe if you treat them without the respect they deserve, but that's what e.g. the DW01-P IC is for, and many Li-Ion charging ICs feature NTC thermistor inputs (e.g. the LTC4053) to stop charging if the cell is outside of some safe temperature range.

If you're really worried, a CO2 extinguisher and a bucket of sand go a long way.
Interesting thought!

// The avg American is completely priced out of owning a home right now

And yet somehow places I visit (which lately has been between NY, Ohio, and Florida) has young families living in houses. I am not saying there's no challenge but your comment would imply that these houses are standing empty because nobody can afford them when in reality each one coming to the market is immediately snapped up mainly by families looking to expland.
ouch ... you make me cry. Of course I cannot argue with you on this.
Actually there are various climate and other scientists who have this position. These scientists usually don't depend on grants and such for research.

The thing is, whomever I will link, you will have some accusation that the scientist’s opinion cannot be trusted for whatever reason. So discussion regarding this issue is kinda pointless anyway.

Time will proof these scientists opposing the human induced climate change narrative to be correct however.

I think it's a mix of many things with the cost of living be number one and way down list or in the middle it could be...

- social media (want beautiful family to post n get likes)

- online dating want the most attractive I can get so I can get likes for who I'm with and kids i made

- thus everyone is pursuing a certain types/groups who they interact with and get burned by cause they have so much choice ..then get jaded about dating.

Again those reasons are by far not on the top of list reasons why but are on the list.

Maybe Hollywood needs to start reshaping our beauty standards for the sake of the human race ;-)

I also kind of resent the implication that pops up in these threads that people without kids are living some kind of immoral, selfish life.
