There are a handful of states now where the custody guidelines are 50/50, but most states don't have this yet. And you are right that there are more divorces these days with uncontested equal custody. So the situation is better th

As someone who's spent a decent amount of time writing "output to pdf" routines, I would never in a million years choose pdf as an interchange format for anything at all.

I'm talking specifically about the US. I don't know how divorces are treated in other countries. In the US, many states have family court systems with statutory and/or systemic biases against fathers. Mothers are typically gi

And further incentivize divorce? It's a dual-headed problem. Much of what has fueled the breakdown of family structure are policies that incentivize women to become single mothers. Children being raised by single mothers is not a good

Yes, which means once block rewards are no longer subsidizing transactions, those fees will need to increase.

I think the point is that this issue is occurring because of bad conventions and api designs that are pervasive in one area of the python community. It seems a bit like the tail wagging the dog to change the design and implementation of the

I agree, both those libraries just have bad api conventions leading to user errors. They've just become so pervasive now that bad habits have become the standard convention in those spaces.

No, it doesn't. Transaction processors are paid by the proceeds from mining. That only lasts until the bitcoin cap is reached. Then they will start charging to process the blockchain.

They are a necessity for subclasses though, especially when subclassing from an external library that will likely change underneath you.

And yet, for some reason, ancient humans decided not to eat all the elephants. No, it was climate change. The last, small population of mammoths that survived until 4000 years ago on Wrangel Island never came in contact with humans. They di

The mass extinction of large megafauna, all around the world, at roughly the same time, isn't explained by humans (see woolly mammoths). There's far more evidence that it was driven by climate change as the world quickly exited th

I'd be highly skeptical of this claim. Large megafauna around the entire world began dying off both before and after the last glacial maximum, even in areas where there wasn't a significant human presence. The fact that they died

It was a poor choice on their part. Some large employers were already on the fence about dropping zoom in favor of teams, and this is just going to push them over the edge.
