Nonsense. Sure it _could_ work but being "extremely good" is just too much optimism.
Throwing up our hands and saying "China is not responsible because not every variable is within our control" is counterproductive.

You're assuming I make China solely responsible for this. I do not. However it would be nice for all parties who are able to reduce impact, to do so within the gamut of their responsibility and influence. Africa must take responsibility for managing poachers and local smuggling networks, and other countries can work to reduce demand. China has an enormous populace so has a massive influence over demand. Pressure must be applied to all points of the problem.

I can throw my own theories into the stew:

A. Many Americans are overweight or obese. Overweight people are conventionally less attractive and thus less prone to having sex or being in a relationship.

B. Social media permeates all aspects of people's lives. Some people might opt out of having sex or relationships if they didn't want to risk the chance of it showing up on Facebook, Twitter, etc. and getting scolded by Mom and Dad.

C. Poor sexual education in school, usually via fear mongering. There's a bit of satire in the movie Mean Girls (2004) where a sex ed teacher says, "If you have sex, you will get pregnant, and you will die".

I'm not sure if I buy the idea that porn has that much of an impact. Porn in some form has been around for quite a long time.
It's almost like saying the birth of Hitler changed the world. No it didn't, it was what he did later.
Just to clarify my position - I run for profit web apps too, and have absolutely no objection to any developer putting a price on their products or services.

It is just that in this circumstance, I am already a happy user of the (free) Postman API testing app, and whenever I see anyone talk about a new API testing tool, I am keen to check it out. However, if the other product is a 'paid for' product, then it has to be VERY compelling indeed to make me switch from the free one I am already using.

For instance, I (and many others) think that Paw is worth the licence fee. It sounds a great product and is well worth the money. But for me, I didn't see any solid reason to switch to Paw from Postman unless I came across an absolutely killer feature that I could not live without.

In Insomnia's case, I was ready to dismiss it because I read about the simplicity of the interface, and I saw a 'Pricing' link on the web page. I immediately assumed it was a paid licence product, which meant that it immediately fell outside any compelling reason for me to even trial it.

Later, when I saw that it was an always free piece of software, it immediately went back on my radar as something I should check out as a possible replacement for Postman.

If it is as good as others say, then I do sincerely hope that the author finds some way to monetise it via some sort of Pro subscription etc. in the future.

My point is that the presence of a Pricing page (which I admit is one of the first things I look for when I visit any app or service page) could mislead people into thinking it is a strictly paid-for app, when in fact it is not.
What about the fact that so many people are overweight now?

I have a lot of friends who are overweight, and have horrible dating lives. Most of the people I know at a healthy weight have plenty of sex.
I think 1 and 3 are pretty practical, and you can get part way to 2. Appreciation of simplicity, transparency, robustness etc can be good inputs to your design without crippling it. There are lots of situations where there is a better practical solution but you just stop looking for it because you don't have a reason to say "not good enough" to the inferior solution.

Heh, that quite stood out to me, partly, not because it is so wrong but because it is so right. The part about "The menace to our people of vehicles of this type hurtling through our streets and along our roads and poisoning the atmosphere would call for prompt legislative action" seems like such contemporary issues I would have been amazed if someone would have foretold their importance back then.
I think you are missing the point, as the author states the same thing halfway in:

Things that are instantly adored are usually just slight variations over existing products.

It's not that every huge shift is also accompanied by a lengthy doldrums. Uu chose clear outliers-and yes while VC is predicated on outliers this post is actually a counter balance to what VC mostly decide on which is traction. So I'm not so cynical about this post because it's not saying " do what sales" and all the other typical VC tropes which are more in line with what you describe. Most successful entrepreneurs do something incremental so I think your analysis is wrong there as well.

The only problem I see with this post is that more than likely, they don't actually invest on this ethos so it's giving entrepreneurs with vision a false hope.
This smells to me like confirmation bias. The actual demographic data shows SF skews older than Manhattan:

Population by age range, SF vs Manhattan:
20-24: 3.8% / 7.4%
25-34: 21.5% / 22.7%
35-44: 16.3% / 14.6%
45-54: 14.0% / 12.8%
55-64: 12.4% / 11.4%
65+: 15.2% / 14.4%
Agreed. Everyone can only be held accountable for their own actions. So let those who can influence demand do so, and let those who can control supply do so.
That's great, but it belongs in the framework. I'm incredibly disappointed by that decision.
The malware would use some other mechanism, or would use some semi common mutex name. Something out of Photoshop or AutoCAD or whatever, to really annoy enterprise licensees of AV tools that went for that mechanism. (I assume most of those who pay ransomware are individuals, as enterprise would have automated backups and machine imaging for recovery.)
Yes, I did. There's a lot of people who will ignore his caveat and try to use these optimizations where they don't belong.

I see it a lot and it's painful. Hence the "throw it out the window" advocacy.
you joke, but I have been told by police on two separate occasions (one car break in, one apartment break in) that I should have shot the assailant rather than calling the police first.
I remember reading and really liking that Men's Journal article you referenced. They've changed it since the original (2012), as it included tips from Kevin Brown on how to stay injury free that are really simple and quite excellent.

> First, there is no such thing as 'information rights'.

Information rights are real, and they are defined in statute law.

But, that's not why you are posting here. I see that you have been attacking my posts because of a vendetta you have in an unrelated thread. How pathetic!
If you did not want to argue with me, you would not have responded to my posts multiple times with arguments. Nor would you have tracked down my posts in other threads and attacked them, which you have done.
I don't think this really effects people's choices. Anecdotal, but I have not once ever heard of any man in real life stating any real concern this could happen, much less describing it as a reason to avoid sex.

It's an incredibly rare event -- there aren't hordes of women out there having sex and then taking it back and ruining the lives of men. There is a tiny, tiny number of pathological ones who have almost no effect on the behavior or culture of the rest of society. Most people haven't even heard of a single person who it's happened to. And it's always something that happens to someone else, and could never happen to you (you aren't a creepy rapey guy, after all), until it does. It is less likely than unluckily sleeping with someone who has AIDS, and having it transmit to you through a condom, or getting struck by lightning mid-coitus. All totally actionable reasons to avoid sex.

And you almost certainly won't become a sex offender. You could get expelled from your university if you are a student.
It also questions Tor Project's effectiveness at educating its users. Especially users engaged in high-risk activity. Once PlayPen had been compromised, this FBI operation relied entirely on exploiting a Firefox vulnerability to drop malware that phoned home, bypassing Tor. Putting tor daemon and userland in separate VMs would have prevented user compromise. Even firewall rules might have prevented it. Why doesn't Tor Project focus more on user safety?

Edit: We hear about this because defendants in criminal cases are questioning FBI practices. And because criminal cases in the US are public, unless there are national security issues. But we probably don't hear about similar efforts elsewhere against political dissidents etc.
OP is most likely referring to camps flying in models, in which case women are quite literally being treated as a commodity.
The data disagrees with your assessment.

That explanation would still leave open why overweight wouldn't date other overweight people?
I would counter C, in that arguably sex education in school is infinity more thorough now than it was 60 years ago. If anything this shows that more sex-ed lowers sex. Also porn 'in some form' has been around for a long time but there is no way you can argue that is has ever been as ubiquitous or insane as it is now.
Income in SF probably skews younger, though.
Runs at about 1fps on my phone, heh.
And what would be a proper "evidence" to rely on?
So I decided to keep the pricing link but add "free" to the download button. I think that's a pretty good balance.
Doesn't that say more about OP's taste in restaurants than SF's demographics?
Artificial intelligence.
The behavior patters that lead to obesity usually go hand in hand with avoiding common hookup/dating spots (i.e clubs). Sitting on the couch eating 3 papa john's pizzas every night does not help you bang anybody, regardless of body type.

1 and 3, however, are in conflict.

As Tony Hoare said, there are two ways to write software: one is to make it so simple that there are obviously no bugs; the other is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious bugs. Clearly the former is much more difficult and expensive; hence in practice (again, except in those critical domains) we end up doing the latter, because the economic incentive to do the former just isn't there, even if we know the customer (and we as developers) would be happier with it.

Only some overweight people fit that description, I certainly don't. You can be reasonably active, go out, and eat pretty sensibly and still have trouble managing your weight.

Still even the more couchpotato types are sexual people and should naturally end up forming dating scenes even if the theory of segregation turned out to be strongly true, excluding people who lose their libido due to depression etc.

A more general related concept is the difference between merit and popularity. Some people actually forget that they are not the same thing.
> We had 3D printers in the 80s, but 3D printers starting becoming a lot cheaper only in the past ~5 years.

Unfortunately, SLA-based printers mostly suck and, unlike most software things, can't actually evolve to get better due to material constraints.

However, now that the SLS patents have expired, we're starting to see useful 3D printers at useful price points. Being able to print a robust plastic (nylon) and not having to worry about creating supports for narrow parts are big deals. Of course, SLS is a little less hobbyist friendly because of the powder handling.
Actually it does make financial sense. Here's why. Bike theft in many places now has an enormous reward/risk ratio not because the reward is large but because the risk is so minuscule -- small enough to be considered zero. People tend to think that the police would have to solve and prosecute a large fraction of bike thefts to deter the crime effectively, but that's probably not true. Any chance at all of being caught would cut the reward/risk ratio by two or three orders of magnitude, at least. Because the reward for the crime is relatively small, compared to other things a professional thief could be doing, that is likely to serve as a sufficient deterrent in many cases.

I've read that this has been tried somewhere and seems to work, though I don't recall the details. A municipality just needs to dedicate a small fraction of its resources to solving as many bike thefts as possible. Even if that's a small fraction of the total, it can be enough to turn the tide.

That's right. The main reason for the drop in 3D printer prices is a key patent expiring in 2009. That's when the revolution began for those not already in manufacturing.
Most Depressed Adults in the U.S. Remain Untreated
In aggregate or on average?

Hot people are getting laid more than ever, and the instant availability of apps like Tinder means an equilibrium is being witnessed -- the top 20% have 80% of sex.

I am willing to argue that the success of these people actively discourages other's from even attempting to participate, effectively intimidating them out of the dating pool. People's confidence is shattered before they even go face-to-face with prospective partners and they self-censor themselves.

Not only that but I am personally witnessing plenty of friends retreating from social life under crushing credit card debt and lackluster employment options -- a sea is retreating and stinking husks of self-loathing are being exposed. Anyone that survives into their 30s with a career intact is usually better off than everybody else while everybody else is relegated to childless self-pity, mild destitution, and self-diagnosed embarrassment.

There is a pall over social media and it's growing, or maybe it's just my circle of friends.
I think there are simplicity friendly suspenders, look at eg how the Erlang school of engineering does it.
But use of such a system requires development, testing, and flight qualification, affecting cost, schedule, and risk. It will also affect other variables, like volume.

Focusing on a point solution like "propulsion" is not even the right kind of question to answer "why not solve this problem with humans?".
The "Free Download" thing has been done to death though. It almost always is a guarantee that we can DOWNLOAD the app for 'free' but will have to pay when we want to actually USE the app.

I think the best alternative is to put a callout in your header somewhere that says something like "Basic version of Insomnia is free forever". Then retain the Pricing page for people who may be curious about your 'Plus' version.
This is the "everyone deserves a trophy" definition of space travel success.
Startup Fundraising 101 Revisited
I've heard of others using connection pooling but have never gone for it. I have read about problems where certain things can get left around or intermingled among users that shouldn't be. For example, a database transaction that doesn't cleanly close: the next user can walk right into the middle of it.

I'm sure it saves some time, but so far the speed-up hasn't seemed worth the risk, and I've been at it for about a decade. We use one server for few thousand corporate users a day, and everything is usually fast. When things are noticeably slow, it is usually from a page loading too much JavaScript, images, etc., that it doesn't really need. When it's the database, it's because of a poorly written query taking a few seconds. Rewriting the query resumes normal operations: split-second page loads.

.NET Core has neither WinForms nor WPF. It's very much focused on web applications. System.Drawing might be useful for ... one in ten? web applications. And they have released it, and it's getting plenty of traction.

Take a quick scroll through here: http://referencesource.microsoft.com/#System.Drawing/commonu...

To re-use System.Drawing Microsoft would need to re-implement all those methods in a cross-platform, bug-compatible way. And there's a lot of code behind those methods.

In my opinion they made a reasonable decision to leave it out of v1.

You're describing the reality that any observant Millenial lives in. Unfortunately, the spurious trend pieces will continue until Boomers finally grasp that the economy no longer offers the "average" person the same opportunities it did when they were growing up (and will likely never do so again).
Thanks for the information. My initial thought was that a professional degree is a somethng similar to being a chartered accountant, or be admitted to a bar (legal industry). In Australia, the Institute Engineers of Australia had a program of certifying engineers and they become a chartered engineer. Not sure if they are still running it.

They approached me when I graduated many years ago. I don't remember the exact details but I seem to remember that they were catering for engineers doing civil engineering. ie to build bridges that won't fall down when a truck goes across it.
