Money and wine are closely related.


Is the data correct?


No. "Divorce rate" implies it's the rate of failed marriages to existing marriages. Instead it is the rate of new divorces to new marriages:

Which is down from the peak and is an obvious inverse of the marriage rate:

https://www.pordata.pt/portugal/taxa+de+nupcialidade-530

which is at an all-time low. The number of divorces has been decreasing for 24 years:

https://www.pordata.pt/portugal/divorcios-323

And the only thing this 94% statistic represents is the decrease in marriages.



income != valuation


What other examples are there of "single dependency stacks"?

This article is really about the versatility and reliability of postgres.

And I'm all in agreement.

Reminiscent of:

As much as HN could lead you astray with the hype of this and that tech, articles like the above are some of the most consistently upvoted on this website.

I like this idea in theory ... although it would cause me to need to know a lot more SQL, which is a powerful but hostile language :-/

I care about factoring stuff out into expressions / functions and SQL fails in that regard ...

https://www.scattered-thoughts.net/writing/against-sql/

It's hard to imagine doing this with a ton of duplication. I have written SQL by hand and there are probably more confusing corners than in shell, which is saying a lot!


Depending on what database server you are on you might not he constrained to just SQL.

Now, PSQL isn't exactly all that friendly of a language either, but it does you to somewhat break stuff up into functions and reuse code across different SQL statements.


While it's not exactly the same, Elixir + Phoenix is really all you need for full-stack development.


Check out mermaid [0] for plain text diagramming that's easily version controlled.

It's also natively rendered in obsidian [1] without any plugins.

Not affiliated, just very happy with this plain text and local workflow.

[0]: https://mermaid-js.github.io [1]: https://obsidian.md/


Mermaid rendering is also hopefully coming to Github soon (Q1 - 2022). https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/372


Which db is that?

Either way, that’s not happening.


I think the feedback loop would be much faster with Code Hike.


No.

There is precedent in various US states and a handful of countries.

Cost benefit analysis of what is actually happening in these places is a key motivator for the continued wave of legalization around the world.

This is much studied.

DYOR but here's a start:

Also, I'm not sure if you literally mean "a few orders of magnitude" or are using that phrase to simply mean "an increase".


TIL thanks.

By few OOM, I mean that the use is very small now due to taboo and legal barriers that it is likely to be faaar more pervasive once they go away. But your data seems to contradict this so I need to do more research


Is the use very small now? In the US, even before state-by-state decriminalization, anyone who wanted it could quite easily get it. There will be an uptick in consumption once it’s more convenient to buy and has better QC and labeling, but I’d be shocked if overall use even doubled let alone went up 100x.


Germany is not Singapore. You won't face any legal consequences in most places for minor possession, and even dealing weed won't necessarily get you prison time. In Germany everyone who wants to smoke weed, smokes weed, legal or not. It's really, really prevalent as of now.


> I bet nearly no one who buys crypto even knows what fiat money is

You're uninformed.

GS, BofA, Barclays, Citi, CS, DB, JPM, MS, UBS, WF and countless funds.

The current hype cycle would be nothing without the institutional support.

But even before institutional investors started jumping in, traders and other employees of the above institutions have long been a key part of crypto markets.


These are investors and traders who want a return on their capital, they are seeking alpha by any means that makes sense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_(finance)

Again, they do not care about fiat or the Austrian school of economics. Of course they know what those things are but they do not care about them at all.
