atentaten··on Technology shock, fewer shotgun marriages, and the rise in unwed births (1996)
I don't think all of this is solely due to "reproductive technology." I believe a cultural shift in values and mores took place via mass media (TV, music, movies, magazines, newspapers, education[1]) that played a strong role in changing behavior to allow more unwed births and less shotgun marriages.

[1]education as a form of mass media in terms of it's ability to communicate ideas

How are you categorizing this project? What about it makes you think demanding money for entry is not feasible for growth?

atentaten··on Show HN: VideoMentions – Search YouTube based on the spoken words in videos
This is a nice tool. I wish one didn't have to specify the channel, as some comments mentioned. If it's not possible to get the channel when providing the video url via an API, it is possible to get it from the video url's GET response data. The latter may be little slower, but might be worth it in terms of UX.
atentaten··on Ghost 5.0
I personally know two authors who have approached me about creating simple sites where they can sell their self-published books and blog about their book's content.
atentaten··on Ghost 5.0
Ghost seems interesting, but is it a Wordpress replacement? If I wanted to create a simple site for an author, where they can sell a couple of books directly from the site. Can Ghost allow this? With Wordpress, I can quickly grab a theme and install a couple of plugins to get this working for free, save hosting and maybe a single theme purchase.

atentaten··on Ask HN: What are your favorite examples of elegant software?
>...a different database to include substitute data and pass this back to be used instead

The thing that trips me up about this is how can you ensure that the substitute data is actually useful. Is the substitute data a copy of the primary data? I guess it all depends on the use case...

atentaten··on DaVinci Resolve 18
I'ved used Resolve, Premier and Final Cut, but I haven't found anything as intuitive as Sony Vegas. I'm just faster with Vegas, it could be because it's the first video editor that I got serious about.
atentaten··on Britain being forced to go cashless 'against its will'
I wouldn't go for it either but this will pushed to the masses as something good and necessary, and most will simply go along with it. For the individual, losing cash and going "digital everything" means losing privacy, autonomy and sovereignty.

Depends on which groups of people and time periods you're talking about. Many groups of people have suffered through total dystopias throughout history.

atentaten··on Vue 3 as the New Default
+1 for Quasar. I find that it allows me to get things done fast without having to think about and build boring and tedious components. It's easy to restyle or modify it's component library and I'm finding it quite nice. I wish there was a robust vue to native app tool available.
