I blocked HN on all my devices via the hosts file for two weeks now. Reason: I am a heavy procrastinator and blocking HN helps a lot.

Just now, I thought it is weekend and I can check HN, and the first post I saw was the article 'When Factory Jobs Vanish, Men Become Less Desirable Partners' on number one or two.

This is so HN, news which makes me sad (and its comments even more). I don't want to claim that HN is a negative place but somehow I have the feeling that I felt the last two weeks better without HN. Many upvoted posts oder comments have a negative connotation which isn't always obvious at first glance.

I read in a book (I think from Robert Greene) that negativity is infectious and if HN has more negative thoughts than the average social news site then this could make sense.

Just wondering if you experienced this as well.

That's an ad hominem. Just because he is a murderer, it does not invalidate everything that he ever said.

We should do well to recognize criminals as fellow human beings, instead of mindlessly reject everything about them, just so that we can follow the predictable and tiresome ritual of shunning the deviant so we ourselves can be perceived as good.
Thank you again.

I've never really thought about it as inspiring, because it's just been "life." I try to do things I'm interested in and then when circumstances change, I look for something else.

I have a friend who was a tour guide and fitness trainer for many years. He's climbed Kilimanjaro something like 12 times. Now, in his early 40s, he is well on the way to obtaining his commercial pilot's licence. It's something he's wanted to do since a teenager and has saved towards that target for a long time. To me, that kind of dedication is inspiring.
The article suggests their civic engagement is low, so likely most of them didn't vote. Would love better data on this though.
Thank you, too, for a civilized back-and-forth. In the end, we all carry the perspective of whatever personal gauntlet we've run. To say that one man's trash is another man's treasure is not much a condemnation of garbage lovers as a celebration of our ability to keep things alive, I think.

I don't see how factory jobs vanishing give men more options. Yes, for the lucky few who still have marketable jobs that aren't subsidized by the public sector, they have more money and options. For the vast majority of men, the job market is a much more brutal place than it was before with a lot fewer actual options.

Heh. Yea, passing too closely is what many humans do.

Speaking of potentially murdering cyclists, since they already got all those sensors, they could prevent drivers and passengers from "dooring" cyclists.

The only reason anyone knows what he thought is that he murdered people until he forced the media to publish his depraved opinions. He wasn't an original thinker. There are plenty of people who wrote critiques of modern life that didn't have to murder people to get attention for them.
Cheer up. Contrary to what many believe, men's chances in life have never been better than now.

Life used to be rough and unfair for most us men. Maybe the oldest son had a chance to inherit the farm or shop of his father so he could provide for a wife and family. Many men, however, had no such luck and went through life without marrying, many without ever dating or being with a woman.

Western women don't need men to provide an income to the same extent as before, and that opens up a lot of other possibilities for us men.

Guys can actually get married although they only earn enough to support half a family or 40% of a family. I even know several guys that makes less than 10% of the family income (and that's through welfare). What chance would a stay home dad have had in 1920? What chance would an unemployed guy have had?

And equally important, we can date women without providing them anything else than a bit of romance. It has still only been a couple of generations in which a majority of us dated for years without having to marry.

Some women still look at earning ability but many women also look at other traits nowadays. Looks, intellect, humour, family skills, interests etc. Work on that and be grateful you weren't born at any point in human history before the 1950s.

Not sure which comment you're replying to, but if it's my original post about hidden corrosion, then yes it will apply to all older light aviation types.

However, some are potentially more vulnerable than others. A high wing Cessna 172, parked uncovered outside in a coastal area is going to be much worse in many aspects than a low wing Piper Archer, hangared somewhere inland.

Here's an FAQ from the Australian regulator. It states that they are in discussion with Beechcraft and Piper regarding SIDS:

Can rtlamr send text over TCP to a remote data collection server? I think they call it a 'receiver'.

Moreover, men were happy to support and fight those genocidal wars in part because lives for many of them were shitty.

It's only going to get worse. As automation continues, jobs are going to be less about "being efficient and useful to society" and more about "proving other humans that you deserve to get money". And interviews are one manifestation of the latter.

I think SWE as a profession is in a little bit of denial, because we honestly (want to) believe we are being efficient. But the reality probably is that most SW companies don't do very useful work, but rather, struggling to make ends meet, are fighting tooth and nail to prove (often through deception and introducing complexity) that somebody needs their software. And this of course in turn affects the workers in these companies.

So SWEs will have to admit (mostly like everybody else) that it is actually a game of musical chairs, and if they don't want this game to happen in this fashion, they will have to institute some other way to play this game (of proving that you are useful), for example, by having a profession association and a profession exam.

Think about it. If there would really be that much work to be done in SWE, the companies would just take everybody. But they don't, they are more and more picky. There have been other articles linked from HN (such as http://spectrum.ieee.org/at-work/education/the-stem-crisis-i...) that say the same thing.

It is a bit problematic that the original comment doesn't seem to consider women as potential provider for a family and the narrative is centered around a male provider.
Ah, OK, sorry. For many people, "picking on" means close passes and other illegal forms of intimidation. Like "picking on" someone at school means bullying.
Actually I think The Onion is a perfect candidate to be labeled, if not 'disputed' then another tag like 'satire'. That would hopefully help stop their Abortionplex articles from enraging certain people who may be gullible.
If you're ever in doubt about the regressive left's tunnel vision and lack of critical thinking, just visit one of these threads, and watch the people unable to distinguish descriptive from normative claims come out of the woodwork, dropping the mandatory moralising chastisement about toxicity and sexism.

From the article it seems the problem is that women continue to seek providers, despite what decades of feminism have tried to tell them they should want.

> Social problems like alcoholism and drugs are talked about as if they would be same as being unemployed. It is odd conflation, it is not the same, not even nearly.

When comparing two things, it's useful to understand what is the comparison being made. Of course these things aren't the same in general sense of things - but as far as making a man "unmarriable" (as in statistically desired by either gender for a long-term relationship and partnership), they have a pretty similar effect, don't they?
Now I'm curious - what countries do have a developed fact-checking infrastructure? For the public, I mean, so intelligence services don't qualify if they don't publish their findings ;)

Also keep in mind that these are air-cooled engines. Due to the configuration, it may very well be the case that one or both rear cylinders are not receiving the same cooling effect as the front two. Therefore, even if you're running lean of peak, it's very, very important not to overdo it

On a Cessna 182 I used to run, I could lean it to 50-52 litres per hour, using a digital fuel flow gauge (not standard factory equipment). If I leaned to 48 litres per hour, the EGT gauges clearly showed a rise in temperature for certain cylinders.

If I was leaning without using these gauges for assistance, it would be very easy to make a mistake and overdo it, or not lean enough and waste fuel/money.
I dont have the same impression at all. I read these news as interesting topics with rational points of view.

This article you mention, for example, I dont find it negative. Even less so if you actually read the article and do not fall for its headline. Editors have a strong incentive to write headlines that are either very negative or very positive. No middle ground. This is all over internet. Every news article has a headline that suggests a sad history or a happy story, never just a story.

Even you. Look at your headline "HN causes de pressionar" vs your post "HN has a lot of negativity". Your headline is much more agressive, click baity and extreme than the rest of your writing.

One more point. There is a cultural incentive among HN crowd to write comments with critical thinking and take nothing at face value. This is a good trait I believe, but leads to several comments that may look negative. I don't read them this way. I read them as someone trying to have a different point of view, with which I can agree or not.

Funk means RF/radio/wireless. The term originates from the first radio transmitter ever, which used spark gaps (spark = Funke, gap = Strecke/Spalte) to generate detectable RF.

So German Funk is actually directly related to the English funk (as in music) etymologically.

I respect your sentiment, but your comment is bullshit. There are plenty of interesting jobs with different pay that depends on your ability - if anyone, a HN user should be well-aware of that. And while all negative things you mention exist to some extent, they're at their lowest in human history, not the either way around.

I feel that you rely more on interpretations of personal experience instead of objective look at the world.
I think there will always be mistakes in hiring. There is no way to tell perfectly from a set of interactions however much one can wish.

We are unpredictable, some are great at deception, we have massive mood swings and phases where we are not at our best, we can deteriorate rapidly and get distracted. What is supposed to be a stable reflection is our education degrees and experience and ideally coupled with a few conversations this should be enough.

The problem here is companies have convinced themselves they can find the perfect candidate for every hire and pursue this unicorn relentlessly. Even with all the ado they will frequently get it wrong. It would be more mature and productive to loosen up and deal with the risks than subject everyone to the kind of process.
That's only true if you don't simply go with C-like syntax.

For example, Dart prioritized familiarity. They wanted to make it easier for people who already know JavaScript, C#, Java, or ActionScript.

JavaScript was also made to look somewhat like Java and they even put "Java" right in the name to make it look more appealing to the masses.

Creating completely new syntax is a very risky move which will always hinder adoption.
The article alludes to, but glosses over the fact that the original vision was a reaction to the terrible open office approach.

The article does chronicle the sad perversion into cubicle sterility.
Those skilled people are still working and are still marriageable.

Speculating about a scary future dystopia works less well when we already live in that world and it's not so bad.
I find it odd that the article manages to completely ignore/miss the effect of welfare and the change in incentives it may result in. Also, it appears that statistically, single mothers are much more likely to vote Left than Right.

In the sci-fi movie Advantageous, a future society with a lot more automation, has high unemployment rates. Recruitment (which in the movie is mostly done by AI) eventually evolves to a consensus whereby most jobs are assigned to men because otherwise society would become a lot more dangerous to everyone.

You probably need to explain Iceland, for a start.
The inner feeling you have is totally right.

There is a profound malaise in modern society for men. You should read the books of French writer Michel Houellebecq as he's precisely describing it.

Modern men lack a purpose in their life. No transcendency anymore, no family models, no sense of common good, people become atomized individuals, and we're not supposed to live like that.

The problem runs very deep even though people start to realize it.
I understand your argument, but it assumes humans don't adapt.

So what if the coal mines close down?

We dont live in aculture where needs stop evolving. Where there's a need, there's industry of some sort.

Humans brains adapt, especially generationally.

I dont see Germany suffering any detrimental consequences of the modern workplace (where I am right now) and infact it's flourishing.

That Said, the education system and the industrial system works close together here, and it's a better system than most. So countries need to pitch in to the effort if educating it's populace for modern day jobs
What is weird is focusing on the incidental mention of these things in a story and turning out a tedious complaint about the plight of the white American male. How do you go from "a confidence characteristic of young, educated, American white men in the 1960s" to "They worshiped women and third-worlders almost as much as the left does today"? What does that even mean?

Universal basic income would allow us to get rid of child support and alimony.
Natural selection, I think. It's not a term that I was familiar with, but a little digging found this:[0]

> The other, minor difference is that men are polygamous, not hypergamous. A man’s imperative is not (necessarily) to get the best woman. It’s to get as many women as possible with as little investment and commitment as possible. If he can do it, he would love to get as many women as possible at and a little below his own SMV, and have sex with as many of them as possible for as long as possible, without committing to or investing in any of them. That’s spinning plates. Most men don’t do this, because they can’t, because they’re not attractive enough, but that’s a different post.

OK, so I'm a guy, and I can say for sure that this is what I always wanted. Most of the time, I wasn't attractive enough, because I was too self-conscious and nerdy. But I did manage it for a few years, until STDs took me down :(

Anyway, there's also this about women:

> A woman’s imperative is to get the best one man she can get for sex and for provisioning. That’s why you don’t see many women “dating” (i.e. having sex with) several different men at the same time. Women don’t spin plates; they pick the best plate they can and take care of it as best they can. Instead of trying to collect plates, they just change out the plates, one for another, when a bigger, better one comes along.

That's consistent with what the parent article concludes, I think. It's just that there aren't many good plates left.

While there exist women that don't look at earning ability of men, and there exist men who don't look at the age and appearance of women, both of those seems to be depressingly small minority when ever I see studies on it. I recall a poll from example china where 80% of women answered that they could never date a man who earned less than a set amount (which is above average pay), and a majority who considered that a man should not even be allowed outside if they didn't earn that much. They should be inside studying or working.

In Germany there is a culture of not changing jobs very often (at most every few years, but even this should not happen too often). So if you have a "well-known" name such as Google or Goldman Sachs on your CV, but worked there only for few months, it is a clear sign that you were fired and about every future employer will be very cautious.
Security will always be an issue with computers. You cannot have both security and performance so easily. That's why there are languages like python, C# and java to reduce development costs at the price of performance.
