Of course it had an impact, if nothing else, a cultural one. It basically eradicated the concept of large families.

China is headed for a demographic disaster, though. High schools are incredibly packed, middle schools, not so much and primary schools and kindergartens are kind of empty.

Yeah, that's kind of the beauty of capitalism. It can lead to short-term shortages but never structural ones. Any demand gets immediately fulfilled. I grew up in a country where there was a structural shortage of say, shoes and cars. Y

The article features a truck that the chips get loaded onto. This quote from Tanenbaum immediately jumped into mind: "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway."

An interesting read. If I'm reading page 20 right, they hold over 1 billion worth of investments? I've seen smaller hedge funds.

Maybe someone can enlighten me, but what's the point of "never selling"? Stocks are not a collectible that you can just look at for fun. Their whole point is to sell for profit, at some time. Maybe it's just me but if yo

I would like to make a slight correction: the hungarian public opinion was never, ever euro-sceptic. This was one of the major reason the previous government was voted out, because they didn't reflect the will of the people. Opinion po

This is pretty cool however I feel it's inconsistent. Some elements have a drop shadow and some don't (Button vs Button Group).

I would refute that since it's obvious (using a strong word here), that digital anything in the classroom is really bad[0] and consistently led to lower PISA scores. Perhaps there will be some initial changes in the wrong direction wit

How does OSM prevent trolling or vandalism? Since many (most) courier companies rely on OSM for their database a bad "joke" could prove very frustrating to many people.

Looks like teaching is about to become the "it" profession and might become insanely competitive.

Is an EV with 80% battery still usable? I ask because phones with 80% batteries are practically e-waste, or urgently needing a replacement. It's not a fair comparison but that degraded battery in a phone is a problem, because the phone

How come self-driving came years before LLMs which seems to me an easier problem? Self-driving seems insanely hard compared to text generation.

This is really good. Firefighting foam is a terrible material, when entering groundwater, is a "forever" source of PFAS.

I personally struggle to see ways my life has meaningfully improved since 2019 or so, and I feel like many people share this view. I have been an unquestionable fanatic of tech startups back then, which I consider perhaps the "golden a

I wouldn't even call it a communication problem - I believe it's more a media problem, than anything. Good news are minimized and bad news are amplified to the maximum - nowadays even broadsheet newspapers operate with tabloid hea

That's great however after seeing their feed being empty people will switch back. You can already do this on youtube by not allowing history.

You are completely right, it's more the latter than the former.

I think most small or mid-sized company CEOs are much more incentivized or even, interested to "do it right". Once a board or shareholders get involved, it's different, because their (the CEO's) job also changes: they ha

I agree with most of this. However in my time I've never seen a company that was a., successful and b., prioritizing tech debt/upkeep at the same time. I presume AI will fix this however maybe not since it's so tempting to de

Keep an eye out for EVE vanguard, an Eve-related extraction FPS. It might scratch the itch for many who perhaps enjoyed the universe but don't want to (or can't) spend the enormous time to ramp up again.

In your Google scope this all works out however if you're a mature but not yet prevalent, neobank whose reputation rides almost solely on availability, I'd still say theirs is a great approach. Even in the unlikely event that AWS

In your list it says 13 out of the 18 countries tipping is customary or expected. France and Spain are not among those, which tracks with my experience.

No, it's a great idea. Any systems engineer knows redundancy is good, even better if it's across providers. I see no issues with this from a system architecture point of view. As to how the implementation is done that's up to
