Everyone says this until they have kids, and I think they forget once their kid reaches about 5. I currently have a 1 year old and parenting duties are rough, and we have only one kid and my wife is a stay at home mom, its still super tough and I can absolutely imagine why many women would not want to have to raise children no matter how good the circumstances

Because free market is sometimes (in fact a lot of the times) bullshit.

Free market doesn’t work when people have no personal interest on something and in itself promotes individualism.

So free market doesn’t care about people who suffer so much they become a burden to the economy.

And that’s for any suffering, not only pain : you can be of no interest for free markets if you are poor, sick, isolated, homeless, if your country is at war, under influence, constrained, abused or just unlucky …

Free markets can fulfill most of the human needs by transforming money from and into goods and services but if there is something it’s not going to do, it’s to care.

It’s an issue because humans naturally cares about things and other humans and that’s how our societies aren’t collapsing everyday.

But the capitalist system, for all its proven goods, also inherently promotes individualism and demotes caring of the world and people around.

Volunteers are doing the important hard work that free market and politics won’t do.

All of this could probably be avoided in a perfect democracy but a perfect democracy will never happen and would anyway live in an imperfect world.
Social media is similar to a drug because it is dopaminergic, and banning it is very similar to War on Drugs scenario, just a knee-jerk reaction, not an expertise-driven policy

The US export market for vehicles will definitely suffer. But it was already suffering even before the tariffs.

It's very simple: the EV market is growing at around 20% globally this year. That's despite all the whining from some manufacturers that there's no demand for EVs. Which is true but only for their EVs. Because they simply aren't good enough. Too expensive to make. Not comparing well to cheaper competitors, etc. Take your pick. They aren't selling well and that's a problem for the manufacturers that are making them. But it's not true for other manufacturers that are growing. Even in the US the EV market is expanding.

Either way, that EV market growth is in the context of an overall car market that isn't growing anywhere near 20%. So, EVs are growing at the expense of legacy car makers. Their market share is effectively shrinking. By about 1/5th a year. They have cost related to that for downsizing production capacity, getting rid of staff (and the associated compensation packages), dealing with related strikes, etc. Many of these companies won't make it. It would take many billions in $s of investment in R&D, new products, new production facilities, etc. And with many of these companies slowing down those investments, it's not going to magically improve for them. It's a death spiral.

There are also no signs of EV market growth slowing down much further. With price parity effectively there if you have access to BYDs (which much of the world does), it's game over for ICE.
They shouldn't but they do. Making the world a better place is not what founders have in mind. What they have in mind is "we are looking for an exit and retire young", for nearly all of them. Unfortunately those words are not something they can write in a mission statement so they must be creative.

I have spent time in remote parts of North America that have seen few if any humans in several decades. The thing you notice in that country is that there are a lot of animals and the animals behave differently when they see you than animals almost anywhere else. They’ve never seen a human before, for generations, and so you are a novelty in their environment that they know nothing about.

Interestingly, humans (without canids) apparently don’t come across as much of a threat by default. I would be approached by curious animals that in any other environment would never allow themselves to be remotely that close to a human. For lack of a better description, these animals also had much more “personality” than the wild animals you see near civilization.

Until you’ve seen the actual wilds, it is easy to forget how much of the “wilds” are actually quite zoo-like.
The fundamental problem is there are two kind of sleep function. One that actually sleeps and other that is a actually a timer that just calls certain callback after a desired interval. Promise is just a syntactic sugar on top of second type. Go certainly could call another function after desired interval using `Timer`.

I think better comparison would be wasting CPU for 10 seconds instead of sleep.

I'm torn.

As far as practicality goes I actually agree with you: if I knew I were trying to do something to the order of 1,000,000 tasks in Go I would probably use a worker pool for this exact reason. I have done this pattern in Go. It is certainly not unidiomatic.

However, it also isn't the obvious way to do 1,000,000 things concurrently in Go. The obvious way to do 1,000,000 things concurrently in Go is to do a for loop and launch a Goroutine for each thing. It is the native unit of task. It is very tightly tied to how I/O works in Go.

If you are trying to do something like a web server, then the calculus changes a lot. In Go, due to the way I/O works, you really can't do much but have a goroutine or two per connection. However, on the other hand, the overhead that goroutines imply starts to look a lot smaller once you put real workloads on each of the millions of tasks.

This benchmark really does tell you something about the performance and overhead of the Go programming language, but it won't necessarily translate to production workloads the way that it seems like it will. In real workloads where the tasks themselves are usually a lot heavier than the constant cost per task, I actually suspect other issues with Go are likely to crop up first (especially in performance critical contexts, latency.) So realistically, it would probably be a bad idea to extrapolate from a benchmark this synthetic to try to determine anything about real world workloads.

Ultimately though, for whatever purpose a synthetic benchmark like this does serve, I think they did the correct thing. I guess I just wonder exactly what the point of it is. Like, the optimized Rust example uses around 0.12 KiB per task. That's extremely cool, but where in the real world are you going to find tasks where the actual state doesn't completely eclipse that metric? Meanwhile, Go is using around 2.64 KiB per task. 22x larger than Rust as it may be, it's still not very much. I think for most real world cases, you would struggle to find too many tasks where the working set per task is actually that small. Of course, if you do, then I'd reckon optimized async Rust will be a true barn-burner at the task, and a lot of those cases where every byte and millisecond counts, Go does often lose. There are many examples.[1]

In many cases Go is far from optimal: Channels, goroutines, the regex engine, various codec implementations in the standard library, etc. are all far from the most optimal implementation you could imagine. However, I feel like they usually do a good job making the performance very sufficient for a wide range of real world tasks. They have made some tradeoffs that a lot of us find very practical and sensible and it makes Go feel like a language you can usually depend on. I think this is especially true in a world where it was already fine when you can run huge websites on Python + Django and other stacks that are relatively much less efficient in memory and CPU usage than Go.

I'll tell you what this benchmark tells me really though: C# is seriously impressive.

Birth rate doesn’t seem to be very heritable, given the amount it can change over relatively short periods of time.

Partly cost disease, partly just that even Dagenham is expensive these days.
There’s a big difference between tariffs on cars from China, and tariffs on all goods from Canada and Mexico. US car manufacturers produce and import lots and lots of intermediate goods from those two countries. Setting up tariffs on those two with the hope of reshoring the manufacturing is problematic because it takes time and capital to build those types of supply chains and also develop the expertise among workers to operate those factories efficiently. Those workers and that capital will need to be devoted to building yesterday’s car parts instead of tomorrow’s.

Preventing cars from being imported from China is still a problem too. American companies are going to innovate slower without the competition. We may see a day when Chinese cars are just miles ahead of American cars in terms of technology, efficiency, comfort, and price. At that point, people are going to be asking “why am I paying so much for this shitty car when much better alternatives are available? Whatever happened to capitalism in this country?” And once those protections are lifted, the car industry would face rapid, destabilizing collapse.

A slower, controlled collapse (not saying that would definitely happen) of the US car industry would mean those resources (the capital and labor) would be able to be put to more productive uses in this country. There’s a lot of stuff we want to build, like modular nuclear power plants, wind turbines, geothermal plants, AI data centers, prefab new housing, humanoid robots, or some other stuff I can’t even imagine. I personally think robotaxis/AV are going to put the entire worldwide car industry into near terminal decline anyway. We should try to pivot away from that industry as gracefully as we can.
> However, on the other hand, is it reasonable for a $5/month virtual machine customer to use 1Gbps 24/7/365, potentially consuming $100–$200 worth of bandwidth?

Irrelevant. If you sell a vCPU with enough bandwidth to feed your 1GBps 24/7/365 needs, and you charge $5/month for it, then it matters nothing what's your personal notion of reasonable. What matters is the service plan offered by the cloud provider and the performance indicators they are contractually obligated to meet.

Damage to the roads increases with the fourth power of axle weight. It follows that all passenger cars heavy or not, EV or ICE are insignificant for road-damage.

One could surmise that there is a similar relation with tire wear and therefore pollution from them as well.

But taxing tires is I think a good idea as it is a consumable and the wear and it's impact can be directly measured.

The problem I see with taxing tires is twofold:

- how is taxing going to solve this problem, it's unlikely that it is going to have a significant impact on driving

- can taxes be fed into tire research in a way that reduces the impact on the environment? Are there any solutions that need funding?
