> The question of when a parent’s rights should take precedence over those of a child is a complicated one with no single correct answer.
Oh, me me, I know the answer, never. Children, while, well, children, are still people just like the rest of us, they dont "belong" to anyone, they arent possessions to be behold and they owe you nothing. I strongly believe that the mass majority of people are unfit to have children and never should have children, I think reproducing in many peoples eyes is seen as a way to give purpose to their own life, but I believe without a doubt in my mind that you need purpose before reproducing, because if anything, having children without purpose in your life gives your child an unfulfilling life too. The bullshit power dynamic that many of people think should happen between children and adults is unbelievably stupid and should've never come to what it is.

What the author describes in the beginning of the post, Reunification "therapy" is so stupid when you think about children as what they are instead of how they are treated, people, imagine the article started with "woman jailed because she objected to people being forced to live with alleged rapist" instead of "a mother is in jail for opposing court-ordered reunification therapy between her sons and their father". Children owe you nothing and dont 'belong' to you.
> both our BMI's hover just over 30.

> We're active, we eat well

Respectfully, you are both obese. If you’re ok with that that’s ok; but to say your diets are appropriate is telling yourself a lie.
Or payment per week in advance
Airlines themselves are perfectly fine. It's relatively hard to break into as a disruptor, but the employees of the established players are mostly well-paid. The executives are even better-paid. The investors can earn steady, predictable, positive returns as long as the stock is reasonably priced and doesn't make assumptions about impossible levels of future growth. Airlines are not super-profitable, but with sufficient volume, you don't need high margins, and they're at least profitable as long as we don't have 9/11 or Covid happening.

I'm not personally knowledgeable about this or anything, so look into it yourself, but just picking a random really big one, United Airlines, it looks like they consistently beat the S&P 500 for most of the past 20 years, until Covid, and the past four years since then have been pretty bad.
I have also settled for pyenv and poetry. It works fine so far. If you evaluate Astral, please let me know.
Resign? That's the obvious answer right?
I think the big thing the skeptics miss is that they believe it's only good for wealth loss. But studies is showing that it has massive health benefits that you don't get from dieting alone. Yes, losing weight by workout/dieting improves blood pressure, reduces sugar, and reduces heart disease. But GLP-1 has massive and better effects towards these things. If you just need to lose a few lbs and don't have health issues, go natural.
If GLP-1 manages to mitigate global obesity, I would say that it would earn a spot against all these other drugs (and maybe even outrank stuff like SSRIs).
Obesity isn't an airborne contagion with an R0 of 5.08 that some percentage of the population was actively denying existence of?

In plain English it means sales are crashing with no change forecast in the immediate future.
Company isn’t doing so great and future doesn’t look so great and people cost a lot of money so they are letting folks go who aren’t as valuable. This makes sense.
In this case it doesn't seem to have been due to its carcinogen classification, but due to fetal toxicity.
Conversion to worker coop
This anecdote (frankly) sounds very tangential to the discussion.

Obesity is a genuine clinical disease, not a lifestyle inconvenience.

Body image issues are usually very personal and not relevant in discussions about eradicating the disease at a macro level.
The CEO will be forced to spend an entire meeting in a remorseful mood, do you know how hard that is? He will need a raise due to the amount of trauma that will be experienced.
I agree with that take. It's also quite different from saying that it's weird because software doesn't support it, which is the claim I took issue with. Maybe I should've phrased my comment differently.
Around 10 years. I also find that claude hallucinates once in a while, but I usually catch it. My main job becomes requesting and reviewing code instead of writing it.

Well, it's "about" async Rust and io-uring inasmuch as they represent incompatible paradigms.

Rust assumes as part of its model that "state only changes when polled". Which is to say, it's not really "async" at all (none of these libraries are), it's just a framework for suspending in-progress work until it's ready. But "it's ready" is still a synchronous operation.

But io-uring is actually async. Your process memory state is being changed by the kernel at moments that have nothing to do with the instruction being executed by the Rust code.
You mean slowing it down, by producing large amounts of meaningless text?
Frankly what you call “destigmatize our own bodies” sounds like lying to yourself over and over until you believe it.

A BMI over 30 is obese, which is unhealthy in and of itself. It’s great that you try to stay active and eat well but you’re not healthy. And I worry that you’re teaching your kids bad lessons.

Being obese is also not attractive, sorry but that’s not going to change.

(This looks like a good article/story that is not found on Wikipedia; just sharing these links for anyone who wants an overview / know what it is about, before diving into the story.)
The solution in old Win32 APIs was to have a length field as the first member of the struct. The client sets this to sizeof(the_struct). As long as structs are only ever extended the library knows exactly which version it is dealing with from the length.

This got a bit messy because Windows also included compatibility hacks for clients that didn't set the length correctly.
You may want to consider that you (both) are just trying to lie to yourself about this whole acceptance thing, if this what it takes to let it go under the bus.

I agree it's actually a well crafted layoff announcement. I wouldn't even faulting for using Dropboxers. If layoffs have to happen there are much worse ways of announcing and implementing them than this. Still very unpleasant if you're affected... (been there...)
> It is not comparable with 3d printing at all.

Not just not comparable, but totally opposite. Subtractive vs Additive. CNC is like chiseling the David out of single block of stone by removing bits. 3d printing is starting with nothing and adding material.
Dropbox makes over 600 M per quarter and about $2.53B per year. They dont need to do layoffs. This is a choice to desctroy jobs to temporarily enrich shareholders to the detriment of the company itself. Classic short-term decision making. https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/dbx/revenue/

Makes sense and was only a matter of time considering it has essentially no revenue growth to date this year and Non-GAAP margins in the low-to-mid 30's %. With near-0% revenue growth, investors will expect a SaaS company to post 40%+ margins.
Is there actually such a thing as cosmetic weight loss, given the incredible health benefits of being in an optimal weight range?

Excess weight is tied to pretty much every major cause of mortality and morbidity in the west. The UK's plan to offer Wegovy to unemployed people with complex health problems etc is, leaving aside its many political problems, a great illustration of how this is the case.

It may just be that tackling obesity lowers the strain on public health systems to such an extent that it is worth it financially, for those countries that have such systems coexisting with high rates of obesity.

Claims to take full responsibility but since he has not resigned he has not taken any responsibility he has just said the words.
My router itself is a 2x2 with the Vevor 3hp spindle (not a repurposed handheld wood router). The router, regardless of material it's being used on, is quieter than just about any woodworking tool with a circular blade. When it's indoors nobody cares. I mostly use mine for making wood mockups of parts before I make them in steel. I have more traditional tools for steel fabrication. The router makes basically no noise compared to the "loud" ones of those.
Stop identifying yourself as neurodivergent. Besides it being an incredibly unspecific term, it gives you a way to identify, and hence behave.

Instead, identify as something else that’s easier to get along with.

This isn’t some “woo magic thinking” suggestion, but it’s well-documented that we humans behave in ways that are congruent with our self-image. Change your self-image, change your behavior. (Or at least facilitate that change)

One other suggestion is to start filling your head with positive material that reflects who you want to be. For example, I wanted to stop giving myself excuses so I started listening to the Jocko Podcast. After even just a few days, I notice my mindset and behavior will shift.

This is what I do. So I guess it’s “advice to myself”, but maybe it’ll help you too.

Cheers mate.

What consequences would you like CEOs to take on when they have to do layoffs?
A 20% layoff means either the market changed very very quickly or something went terribly wrong in the company strategy. Here it's the second scenario and I'd expect the CEO to be on shaky grounds after such bad results.

There needs to be more explanation on where the CEO screwed up that badly and the consequences for the management.
These words mean nothing really. I expect the next CEO to not use meaningless phrases. How does "taking responsibility" works in his case? What does it even mean other than PR fluff?
By letting a lower rung employee take the responsibly. This is giving CEOs a bad name and is only one step away from the board taking the heat.

Donors give money to buy influence. Taxpayers pay money to stay out of jail. There is no "dependence" here.
It can be, but that doesn't seem like a reasonable interpretation here at all. There can be (and is) a category of "most important" drug breakthroughs, which is one step above "important", two steps above "notable" etc. Ranking the breakthroughs within their category may be possible but would require a lot of arguing and term definitions, so instead we just say "among the most important".
If he was responsible for the conditions that led to the layoff, he could also resign.

Genuine question: what do people want from a CEO in this situation?

What consequences do you want the CEO to face? A token reduction in pay? Being fired?
You specifically picked things like toasters and fridges which seem like frivolous if not entirely useless applications of LLMs.

But you can be more charitable and imagine more productive uses of AI on the edge that are impossible today. Those uses would presumably create some value, so if by reducing AI energy costs by 90% we get all the AI usage we have today plus those new uses that aren't currently viable, it's a better bang for buck.
These are drugs designed to fight back against the food industry and its abusive practices which damaged the lives of millions of people without consequences.

But what will happen from now on? Will the obesity industry cave, or will they try to fight back and overcome the effects of the drugs with even shadier practices? Option 1 sounds overly optimistic to be honest…
Rails. You’re hard pressed for a good reason not to pick it up in 2024. It’s the one man framework and still holding that position quite well.
It does seem like it's among the top 10-20 most important classes of drugs. Different than one among millions.

It is wild to me that something as life-altering as antibiotics was only invented in early 20th century, and that the entire human history up to that point was antibiotic-less. I'm not sure that enough time has passed yet to fully absorb the consequences of antibiotics into culture and societal systems, and I wonder what that will look like - maybe given another century or two?
It doesn't though, it's a common english expression to state that the object has extremely high value.
Yeah but you are not meant to do a diet your whole life either, they help you make a diet. If people revert to unhealthy habits after that it is on them. But there is a difference between fasting to lose weight (where you are hungry, very hard to sustain) and a stable diet (where you do not have to fight hunger).
You say that, but the level of discussion here is much higher than most workplaces. It really helps to be able to make sense of what we do, to make the right choices not just technically but ethically. As a community-minded technologist, HN is among the most important resources _I_ have.
Memetically speaking, it evidently has an R0 above one, though! And I guess there are even such people who deny that there is a "condition" of obesity.
How about describing what exactly taking full responsibility means for them in that particular situation?

Saying e.g. what is the impact on the situation for those responsible might be nice - no bonuses for next year? A plan in place so that this doesn't happen again? Stepping down as a CEO?

I mean, if I take responsibility for e.g. wrong tax filing, I pay the fine penalty, and/or go to jail.

Saying "I take responsibility" some kind of failure while having no consequences for said failure is not taking responsibility.
"Important" could be in different ways than just "moral importance." Most previous medecine just helps people recover from illness. This drug may have important social consequences. It could be something like birth control pills.

Only a conjecture, since as OP said, the long-term effects haven't been studied for us to be so sure.
Thanks for sharing!

I don't think people did exactly that, but most indeed did leverage the fact that values only ranged from -99.9 to 99.9 with exactly one fractional digit and handled them as integers (avoiding FP maths) up until the very end when printing out the results.
They(you know: those people) need to find a vaccine that does the same thing as these GLP-1s. It seems termination shock is becoming a bigger issue with these new products as time goes on.
By "these days" do you mean "this week's issue"? Last week's cover was literally of a stack of US bills blasting into space to represent the strong US economy. I didn't find the GLP-1 topic interesting at first, but it was worth a read and according to quick scan of the app front page, only 4 of the 38 articles offered.

Serious question - is this article sponsored?

It…feels…sponsored.
Unpopular opinion, but I don't understand this type of comment. It sounds like people want executives to get some kind of punishment or pain as a consequence of laying people off.

But what would that even look like? A fine? That would probably make no practical difference, and would discourage them from making changes that need to be made. Fire them? Then you would probably get a worse decision maker in the driver seat going forward, who also didn't learn from experience of going through layoffs.

Layoffs are awful. They affect lives and families deeply. But all businesses don't go up and to the right forever. Reductions are a necessary part of running competitive companies.
* They're expensive right now because there's a shortage.

* Once the actuaries see the long term data I imagine insurance companies will foot the bill entirely for them as a cost-saving measure. The only thing strong enough to override a doctor's "I bet it's your period" is "I bet it's your weight."

* It is genuinely far far easier to maintain weight than lose it. Your body establishes a new set-point and you +/-10 lbs around it naturally.

Can't speak for these drugs specifically but after losing 100lbs my appetite adjusted, got higher energy, far less effort to do (well everything) but working out especially.
Interesting connection, but Datomic's EAV (Entity-Attribute-Value) model solves a different problem than Graham's universal relation. In the "Universal relation problem," we're fighting with consistency across arbitrary join paths. This problem is more about the NP-completeness of maintaining consistency across all possible join paths

Datomic's approach is more like a temporal log of facts, it's not trying to maintain universal join consistency across all possible paths. The EAV model lets you treat everything as "facts over time" (Datomic's strength yes) instead trying to make every possible join path consistent
Sigh. Okay, but Wayland doesn't work this way because it is a Desktop software. I don't understand the complaints here - we're upset that we, the user, are empowered to give and remove permissions from applications?

Nobody is turning Linux into iOS. But iOS DOES have some good ideas. It's good, for example, that for an app to access your photos library they have to ask. I know for a fact you prefer that to the app just opening your photos without your knowledge and doing whatever they want with them.

Similarly, I see no reason why Chrome should be able to read the display output and keyboard inputs of my graphical password manager. It should ask me.
TIL that nobody knows what they're doing.

Jokes aside, how do you end up having more than 500 excess people than what you need? What is management exactly doing during the time they went from 1 excess person to 500? Did they just hope the "macroeconomic headwinds" would become tailwinds? Didn't they at some point see that they have more people than valuable work, and maybe we should deal with that problem instead of hiring another team to place even more bets?

Actually, I know why. It's because they have too much money and when you have too much cash, you start splurging without thinking and then one day the chickens come home to roost.

Honestly, I would not hire a single manager from these big companies because they operate in an environment where they're playing with monopoly money and don't know what reality is. There's something to be said about spending within your limits and not splurging on the next shiny object. Way back when it was called cost control and operating within a budget. All that management theory seems to have been lost in the age of cash injections and valuations based on everything except retained earnings.
GLP-1s are relatively well studied, though. At least compared to the vast majority of "new" drugs.

They have a history going back to the 1970s (50 years) and have multiple FDA approved brands going on 15 years now (Liraglutide - 2009 for the EU, 2010 for the US).

So sure - we're going to get the chance to observe effects that are very hard to tease out prior just because we have a large number of folks taking them now.

But the press talks about them as if they are well studied because... well... comparatively they are.

Basically - even if I agree that caution is warranted here (and I do), your argument can be equally applied to drugs like ACE inhibitors/ARBs, and insulin. Both are which are pretty compelling drugs.
