@rob_mcrobberson For me it depends on their reasons for not wanting kids. If they're worried about being a good enough parent, encouragement could help.

I think we've psyoped a generation into believing their own parents irreparably screwed them up, and now they're scared to do the same.

@owroot Followed closely by having the person holding you sit down or otherwise try to be comfortable in any way.

@sonikudzu @QiaochuYuan Similar: delaying child rearing until you're older and wiser (and less resilient to sleep deprivation, etc)

@n00rdung @jane_plainly It's possible you're also doing this, but with the issue Devon is talking about.

@tris_does_stuff I think that's his point. The test itself reveals the obvious intent of the test designer, and you can reasonably assume the "correct answer" given that frame. But that's a different exercise from solving the problem.

@antibearthesis Why would a bank loan you money for less than they could make in an index fund?

[landon @schemathingz]

@shashank_sindhe @SidJain_80 That just moves backpressure management upstream. Why not scale consumers based on queue depth?

@EOEboh I see two:

1) you shouldn't need to parse the response body to determine success (status code would be better)

2) empty data should be represented as [] and/or a 404/204 response status

@rob_mcrobberson While I agree, if a company already has said policy, you don't wanna be the guy to try to change it.

@TheLlamaBro @luther_snell @minordissent @cinnamontoastk I have more faith in humanity than you seem to

@_space_punk_ I also like your reframe that it's not about being personally moral - we're actually banking on a baseline of love that would kick in across everybody

[landon @schemathingz]

@_space_punk_ Exactly. People either imagine that the lizard brain's desire to live will take over, or no-greater-love-than-this will. I'd gamble on the second.

[landon @schemathingz]

@corsaren @DanielleFong I think I agree. Zero-cost displays of goodwill are inherently cheap signals, and usually the displays that we see are manufactured to create that impression. So now we have a bad proxy of "I see goodwill -> must be fake"

@Apocaloptimist5 I didn't think they were correlated until this. It surprises me how many "rationalists" have such a narrow view of rationality.

[landon @schemathingz]

@Gilbeezyskit93 @bttldog @soychotic Everyone could exercise and quit smoking too. Any plan that requires everyone to do the right thing is naive.

[landon @schemathingz]

@Lupes20635 @pipebombxoxo @soychotic "Logically correct" independent of consequences beyond one's own self interests. What a narrow view of logic
