Your first point (childcare) is probably one of the more understated points. When families have 2 children under 5, the cost of childcare for both children encroaches the income of one parent alone. Many find it more convenient just to stay

For the most part they _are_ done with that kind of conflict. And in situations where they do need to engage an adversary like that, it is far easier to use drones. I love the A-10, but it's effectiveness as CAS for adversaries with ev

Sadly this is outdated. On September 16th, 2021 the ESA announced a delay of the launch until mid-2023 to repair pieces of the spacecraft dislodged during transportation to the launch site [0]. More info on the video including damages. [0]

If you are continually exposed to COVID-19, wouldn’t you effectively be “re-upping” your immune system every time there is additional exposure?

They launched a cloud version a few years ago and have seen most growth there. It’s not the best API (it requires polling; no webhooks. Yuck), but it does include their latest engine at entry level pricing.

You should honestly look to monetize this. The MC server community is constantly plagued with hosts that will cram as many servers onto a box as possible, but they insist on the “always on” approach which IMO is pointless. Someone did an au

FWIW the sharding at worldborder approach is still the preferred way to shard in CivCraft-inspired servers. IIRC the CivCraft 3 sharding happened in the middle of a continent, so you could feasibly be chasing someone and both would be switc

I have yet to see hard data on it, but the folks that have been in the trenches doing client-side mods on Minecraft swear that J9 is the superior JVM for the latest versions of Minecraft (1.16+). I don't know that anyone has really don

What were the specs of the server and which Spigot fork did you run? A month ago I ran a Paper instance from a Digital Ocean instance with about 4 GB of RAM and OpenJ9 JVM and it never dipped below 20 TPS even with a larger render distance.

Yes, now if you do that you end up with a 2000 word threat analysis write up by a network security startup that claims you’re using sophisticated social engineering.

Not only that but you are legally permitted to withdraw your consent to search at any time. Just merely handing your phone to an officer unlocked does not permit a limitless search and seizure. However if during that time the officer sees m

Not at all? Tragic sure, but what’s the point? Think of all the lives saved by not having to ferry people.

I'm fairly certain it is permitted in California, but police offers do have the power to write a citation that acts as a summons for the suspect to appear in court. No arrest, likely no jail time, just ~$20 in court costs plus whatever

My understanding is that it has been known for years that mRNA is a viable vaccine delivery vector, but the R&D hadn't been completed for the other aspect of the business - production and safety at scale.

The biggest investment that Pfizer made was the creation of a way to reliably manufacture mRNA vaccines. Now they must recoup those investments.

Can you post some sort of evidence?

I want to share an anecdote that I've told countless times in person. My 1 year old daughter came down with a bizarre rash on New Years Eve in 2019. We took her to a pediatric urgent care where they diagnosed her with a viral rash (not

Your comment is spot on. Prior to Bootstrap, the concept of a purely CSS framework was relatively foreign. Aside from jQuery UI (which of course required jQuery and had limitations on styling) the closest thing we had in the 2009-2011 perio

Where can I sign up to be a paid shill? Moreover, is HN considered a large enough community for people to _pay_ to shill on topics unrelated to tech/startups?

Posting a business publicly on Flippa is the fastest way to have low-effort competitors pop up that simultaneously bid up your ad costs and create clones of your business. Source: This has happened to me.

This seems incredibly odd given that OnlyFan's primary payment processor is CCBill, a massive payment processor focused solely on adult content. Here is opportunity #3928 for Stripe to step in and earn their valuation and flex their pa

I do think you have a point that the excerpt is pretty weak and boring, and overall the article isn’t particularly compelling. I won’t comment on the deep-state stuff as that appears to be a dog whistle for some other political argument. Wh

Almost all of the “iCloud Leaks” aka “The Fappening” occurred because hackers could infiltrate an iCloud account, then use software to exfiltrate the contents of backed up iPhones/iPads, in addition to the user’s photo streams. The bac

Yikes, do not engage in a defense of child pornography in these types of arguments. The opposition is gunning for that.

Many people share photos of child pornography via the mail. There has been criticism that the USPS does not open all mail and scan them for child pornography. I would really like to hear from people who do not sign this letter how they thin

Climate change definitely contributes to the crisis, but ignoring other factors does not help us improve the situation. For example, Spanish settlers in California planted invasive trees not adapted to the climate and specifically the wildf

I think the issue is that when you're looking for "less severe weather settings" you have limited options - California is in a megadrought. Meanwhile, China has invested heavily in weather modification and is reportedly conju

I am of the opinion that they are delaying the inevitable considering the likelihood that COVID-19 will be with us for the next decade.
