Oh I re-read the comment again and realized they are suggesting part-time lower-income PLUS paternal leave higher-income. That's weird on multiple levels: You want, as you said, optimise for total income; and you want to spend as much uninterrupted time with your kid as possible.

This option gives you neither.

Rather, I have a colleague who took paternal leave with their partner and afterwards switched to part-time for a bit.

Good point, I'd throw in that "nothing in life is free". Maybe the model could be changed from "7 day trial" to "first month half price"...

Well the rules have been there forever and I feel like back in the day the CDU/sPD was quite good at math ;-)

Your results are the same, your optimisation goals seem to differ.

Does it matter?

Probably.

Which is why the news outlet should make their own API public. This will greatly increase the competition between aggregators.

I think what would be much better is a redefinition of the publisher role: Most (big) news outlets already run a lot of their own infrastructure. Web servers, this whole paywall mess, etc etc.

What if they could just provide their articles through an API (which is also consumed by their own website) and aggregators can route these articles to their users. Aggregators would become publishers of sort.

Let me flesh it out a bit.

Scenario 1) I am a subscriber of news-site1.com. I have an account with their system. I can read all their articles on their website. At the same time I browse this news-aggregator1.com. They collect lots of links, and with the power of SSO/OAuth I can already read all news-site1.com articles directly on news-aggregator1.com (since they are consuming the API with my account). Additionally I have an account with news-aggregator1.com and pay them a fee, which allows me to read N articles from any outlet they have connected with.

Scenario 2) news-aggregator2.com does not offer a subscription base, but is connected to all the APIs of the news outlets. Their users can buy on an per-article bases from all connected news outlets and the articles are saved into the user's account.

Just two scenarios how this _could_ look like. The reasons I think this is not done is 1) you lose ad traffic, which is somewhat predictable, 2) you lose predictability/control in general 3) nobody has done something like that and made it work, so there is little confidence 4) they might just be right and it only appeals to a small audience

I just checked some prices for small scale PV farms you can plant to your house. It's 16,83 euro-cent for the PV per KWH and 23,74 euro-cent for the storage. Production is 10KWH, storage is 11KWH.

So if we (naively) multiply by 1000 we get 23,74€/MWh. And that is for the home market. I know battery storage doesn't scale linearly, but also if you were to build this as a highly-scaled farm, I'm sure prices would also drop as well.

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know there was a ActivityPub Conf (but I guess there is a conference for everything)!

I have a much simpler explanation. Most people can't afford it. The median income in Germany is ~44k/yr. If we assume the woman earns a bit less, we can already see why it's more common for the mother to take the paternal leave. It's less of a hit on the finances. If the dad takes it, or both, they might not be able to sustain themselves for long.

If the author (or anybody) really wants to absorb knowledge from books, it's simple and only takes two steps:

1. Take notes while reading, which usually also has the side-effect that you have to re-read passage around your note taking

2. Convert notes to Flashcards utilising SRS (spaced repetition systems like Anki)

Thus all the info you noted and found interesting will go into your long(er)-term memory.

But that's not why we read most books now, is it?

It reminds me of a rant by an anime youtuber / analyst, who complained that various video streaming platforms (amazon, netflix, crunchyroll, ...) are not innovative in design, but their only selling point is their closed catalogues. And. It. Drove. Him. Mad.

Okay, so you should subscribe to 5 services to see all the latest anime you should see. You want to support the artists. But, some of them have horrible experiences, and you are locked into it because you want to _legally_ watch this show.

It's that if your platform is exclusive enough, you also become very slow to innovate.

We've seen time and again that most innovation comes from constrained settings. But big corps just want to maximize money, they don't care about improvements. That is IMHO the block stopping us from actually tackling a lot of identified and solveable problems we face this century.

Defs +1 for personal blogs and RSS feeds. That way you can add them to personalised webrings as well using something like openring.

It's more like yjftsjthsd-h said in their comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24548071): They suddenly make me work for it.

Sure, this might be the worth of the features, but then I might get frustrated: "I want features X and Z, but they are only in the most expensive tier. In the cheaper one I can get just X, or X and Y. So now I have to pay for X, Y, Z although I only need X and Z."

Another example: johnreed fitness gym offers three tiers. They are basically the same, but give you more flexibility in where you train. If you are a member for one year, you move up one tier for the same price. It's not clear whether or not my contract would get cheaper if I start at the highest and after a year move to the price of one lower.

So basically they made me work and think a lot just about pricing for some service I actually want because I don't want to think about it. Which made me choose another gym altogether.

While this might be true from a sales perspective, I'm actually annoyed when there is a product I want to buy and then I see these tiers.

Haha I've built a very rudimental version of this for my personal documents. No grouping or categorizing of text areas, just PDF->OCR->Database. I do scan for letterheads, though, and save them in a separate table.

A question, if I may: How big is your userbase?

Sometimes it just refers me to the ad tracker's page and there is no option to opt-out except for mail...

No, I think we just have a different view on what knowledge, skills and proficiencies means.

I'm not saying experience is irrelevant, I'm saying you can teach somebody the skills to use tools and the proficiency to build a kitchen and he would afterwards be able to build a kitchen, even though his experience is very little.

I'm not saying it will be the best kitchen in the world, neither am I saying the teaching process will be super fast (it depends on teacher and pupil), but I am saying that it is first and foremost not about the age and experience of the trainee, who then later attempts to build the kitchen.

I did not indicate otherwise.

> It has to do with experience because skills can only be honed through experience.

Yes, but it does not take a learner lots of experience to learn a skill (with some caveats, ofc). It takes the teacher experience to teach a skill, though.

> It has to do with age because honing skills via experience requires time.

I agree.

But it was not about honing skills or becoming perfect, it was about learning and "building a kitchen".

This has nothing to do with age, and little with experience.

You mix up knowledge, skills and proficiencies.

If you watch 10 youtube videos, you might gain the knowledge of building a kitchen, but you neither gained the skills of using tools, nor the proficiency of planning and building a kitchen.

Those are very distinct things, which pedagogues are aware of.

That was me a 1 or 2 years ago, and I'm only in my mid 20s.

Just the realization that life is not limitless

That's true. But if you think about it: if you have the skillset to design a laptop, your possibilities for jobs are much grander than making laptop's less upgrade-able

If that makes them sleep better at night, I wonder...

I guess they do.

I get payed well, I could earn more with my qualifications, but I already earn quite a lot and I have more holiday than any other software person I know in my area. Not sure if more income would make me happier. More wealth, probably, but no paycheck is gonna suddenly make me rich, so that's that.

What I find really concerning is that all of this is man-made.

So we have management who wants to maximize profits. I don't really blame them, it's a lot of money involved and a shark tank environment. (I mean I do blame them, but I can see their reasoning). But then we have engineers who just do as they told in making all this possible, having the craziest ideas, like:

> The Asus EEE PC 900 that I bought had a 4 GB SSD held in place by a screw that was soldered in place. This prevented the SSD from being upgraded.

In the end humanity is its biggest adversary

TIL!

Regarding one-way streets: In Germany it's perfectly legal for bikes to ride against one-ways.

Empathy.

Would argue that "ich sehe meines Vaters Auto" is valid, but only for lyrics and/or old German.

If it's a low protein diet, couldn't the lack of certain aminoacids which promotes cell growth (and by that, also cancer growth) also aid slowing cancer?

Layman here, just popped into my mind.
