In my area there is a saying like "it takes a village to raise a child".
i believe that a good social network is not only important for the kid, but for the parents too.
it helps so much to have a partner, grandparents, aunts/uncles, who can look over the kid just for a hour or 2, so you can get your rest. And its usually fun for the kids too.
Now that i have 2 kids, a loving wife and 2 families around me, i have the highest respect for all the single moms/dads out there.
As immigrants with no local network, having kids is basically putting yourself under house arrest for a decade or so. You can post bail (pay a babysitter) for occasional reprieve. I mean sure you can go do outings with kids, but for most of them, do you really want to? I know mine aren't particularly enthralled by trips to the Rijksmuseum.
I don't think this is how humans usually raised kids...
We're in the same boat. Feels like mostly our society doesn't value having children - it's by and large not a very well supported activity. Even more so if you don't have immediate family to help support you.
Dont go to Switzerland. I can sing praise on this country for hours, but supporting families with kids aint one of the positives, in contrary.
So far the worst aspect of being and staying here (apart from one specific immigration bureaucrat in Geneva, but thats a long and very specific story). Even rather backwardish France has this aspect figured out much better.
If you go to the third world kids are all running in the streets while both parents work and grandparents not doing fuck all to watch them either. The most practical answer is to relax negligence laws back to a sane level where as long as you're not torturing them and they are fed, "society" stays the fuck out of the punishment process.
This is why people critique the nuclear family—the degenerate village around the children that just consists of the parents, maybe grandparents at holidays. It’s a recipe for overworked adults.
I've got a Mexican American friend that lives multi-generationally and loves it. He's a few years out of high school with a good job in management and a nice car, money in the bank. His older brother gets help parenting from Tio and the grandparents, and generally everyone gets along well. He's almost kept up with me in savings for property and I'm married (our pay is pretty similar, but I have dual income). American culture optimizes for wastefulness and puts too much of an emphasis on independence, especially when arrangements like this exist that actually can lead to greater individual freedom in the long run.
I read an interview once with an American woman who moved to Italy with her Italian husband. They lived in the same apartment building as her in-laws and in the morning her son would walk down to Nonna's for breakfast.
I love the idea of family living within walking distance but in their own domiciles, like townhomes or apartments or condos in the same building. This is another great argument for mixed zoning. A 55+ condo building in the same neighborhood with single family homes for large families and smaller townhomes/apartments for families that are just getting started.
We are living on a Farm. So we have a huge main building where the aunts and grandma lives and we live in a different building. Kids can just run over, since it's no road in sight and everything. I feel rather blessed
Guess he was talking about the presentation, not what the tool can achieve. It has no hard proof on the first page, which could easily just be a LinkedIn pitch, but not on hackernews
since its a .ch domain, i believe its in swiss.
In germany we have our DSGVO (GDPR), and you can report it too.
If a breach happen, you have to inform all your customers.
if its a first time and you tried to your own best, the punishment is not that hard, but since these are medical infos they should have known better.
Switzerland is very liberal in terms of business-oriented regulations to the point that you could crate a new year party in a closed cellar without emergency exists, not to mention anti-fire installation and burn people alive there.
Just a small thing about the website: your examples shift all the elements below it on mobile when changing, making it jump randomly when trying to read.
I've come to the point where I think generated code is nothing better than a random package I install.
Did I read it all and just accepted what was promised? Yes
Can it bite me in the butt somewhere down the road? Probably, but I currently at least have more doubt about the generated code than a random package I picked up somewhere on git which readme I just partly skipped over.
However a random [but well established] package will have been used many many times, thus will have been verified in the wild, and likely will have a bug tracker, updates, and perhaps even a community of people who care about that particular code. No comparison really.
Another idea maybe would be to load the heavy library after the initial page is done. But it's loaded and heavy nonetheless.
Or you could create svgs for the formulas and load them when they are in the viewport. Just my 2 cents
The very first video was of a toddler doing their first steps. I don't know any of them and had no clue where they are from. Someone just wanted to share their magic moment and after 15 years, I was involved.
to be fair, it's way easier now to do your taxes (as a private person). We can do it completely online with no paperwork involved and its actually quite alright. so some innovation is happening, even in the public sector.
what happens in the company is another thing. it really depends on the people working there.
