Aren't those generalities true though? Remember when those female talk show hosts laughed on live TV about a dudes' dick getting cut off by his partner?

Or what about the ESA engineer that helped landing on a comet and all the media could talk about is that he wore a shirt with stylized naked ladies on them. Imagine giving a women researching cancer shit because she wore a shirt with 'If a man ain't got muscle I ain't gonna tussle' in a interview. And you give her shit profusely, for a week, until she is depressed and feels the need to apologize on TV, for wearing a shirt.

Bonus points (although not entirely related): women like Anita Sarkeesian that say games (still predominantly a male pasttime if you discount mobile/casual games) like Mortal Kombat promote violence agains women.. no shit, it's a fighting game, where the core gameplay revolves around beating people up.
Glad I mentioned casual game since there's plenty of dating games where the goal for the girl is to date the most successful and popular men.

Or what about Disney movies.. The princesses are seen as portraying impossible beauty and standards, whereas you hear nothing about the men in these movies (jaw like an anvil, super muscular, usually smart and rich).

Combine that with the fact that these days there's still campaigns to get more women to university (university is 40/60 men/women these days), there are special women only grants.

Also, Obama touted the 33% wage gap myth and the 1 in 5 rape/sexual assault statistic that are both completely botched.

See what I'm getting at? Society in the West, and especially America, is crazy tilted towards women, and it needs to stop.

The results of the recent election were driven by inefficiencies in the American electoral system, such as the electoral college, gerrymandered districts that result in Republicans holding more seats than their vote totals would suggest, etc.

The "skills gap" is largely a result of the actions of employers. There is disdain for on the job training for easily learnable, high access jobs such as waitstaff, cashiers, etc. Furthermore they aim to pay as little as possible, while being as demanding as possible. They have stopped using defined weekly/biweekly scheduling and switched to unpredictable schedules that rapidly shift total hours worked, days worked, and even reduced hourly shifts. Oftentimes these jobs do not pay markedly more than one would get struggling to get by via social programs, family/friends, etc.

Ask HN: Can anyone recommend a db for managing connected devices in a LAN?
I'm looking for an intelligent approach to storing multiple MAC addresses (devices), their status in realtime ie. online vs offline, as well as other generic fields (frequency, IPV4, IPV6, etc.) in presumably a database. I've got a node application fetching data from an API about once every minute, I suppose I could populate a mongo collection for simplicity and keep track of online/offline status to create a realtime-ish update of the connected devices. I feel like there's probably a better way that I'm unaware of. Can anyone recommend something for a problem such as this?

That doesn't take into account the fact that (through no fault of their own, and meriting no shame), single parents are pretty systematically worse statistically than bioparents in a nuclear household. Take into account the impact of parental "abandonment" on the child, which is traumatic regardless of whether the abandonment was voluntary or not, and regardless of whether it's one parent no longer seeing a child at all, or the other parent seeing the child less because she has to work harder to provide; both count as "abandonment" emotionally, and can be traumatizing.

Single-parent families, step-families all require better parenting, management, and communication skills, since they're more complex, and these parents aren't more skilled than the average, with predictable consequences.

Check the statistics on "fatherless" households, children of single mothers perform worse on every single metric. Worse academically, commit more crime (and much more rape), more runaways, more addictions, the list goes on.

> Yes, old school partnerships are dying, but that doesn't make males more disposable.

Implies that "old school partnerships" are dying, but being replaced by something new. That's not the case. It's not a case of old-thing-evolving-into-a-new-thing. It isn't being replaced by anything, just being destroyed. I'll bet you single mothers are much less happy than married women, especially in their 50s and 60s, not to mention the increased likelihood of being abused by dates, strings of failed relationships, increased stress, and loneliness.
"It would take an infinite amount of power to calculate every digit in pi"

Representation by digits is just one representation. We have plenty of finite representations:

> The study's authors said their work was funded by NASA grants...

Expect those grants to go away under the current administration. It's one thing to argue about the best policy in light of scientifically-observed data. But when you start denying facts and limiting the opportunity for scientists to gather data in the first place, all that's left is uninformed opinion. Anyone's uninformed opinion is problematic, but Trump et al have uninformed opinions that are truly dangerous.

For what it's worth, I was really pleased with San Diego gas and electric, who do indeed provide this. I like saving energy, for both economic and environmental reasons, and was pleased to be able to see things like the drop from switching one bulb from incandescent to LED. In the winter my 2 bed apartment's average usage was under 100 watts. People were stunned that our bills would be on the order of $9-$15 a month.

In the summers we had a window AC, but even that only pushed it to $40-$50 a month.
So what do you do when there simply aren't enough jobs for most men to "have their shit together"?

What are all those men going to do when they have both no stake in the economy, and little or no chance of finding a woman to love them? What percentage of men like this can society handle before some sort of tipping point is reached?

I refer you to this comment from "wingless" from another discussion currently on the front page:

I'm always aware of this whenever the usual stuff about the "gender pay gap" gets trotted out by the media. Men and men women are playing entirely different games in the employment market. A woman is working for the money and whatever satisfaction she derives from the job itself. A man is working for his ability to attract a girlfriend, his status in society, his entire sense of "value". It's hardly surprising that men are motivated to choose riskier and higher earning careers.

The weird thing is they have moments of brilliance like the "Liberal Smugness" piece - but search "Vox News article" and it looks like even the left really hates them.

>"All the console does can be done with a laptop nowadays"

No, you are wrong on all accounts. A laptop can not produce a pure analog recording, an AAA LP[1]. Also vintage analog consoles are actually quite coveted by recording engineers either for use as whole desks or for parts like the pots, EQs, side cars, etc. The people that designed this gear were highly skilled craftsmen.

Here's a guide to some of the more coveted and collectible analog desks:

It was economics like with most hardware of the time. Those were expensive, custom machines. The CISC and RIZC processors kept getting cheaper and faster to point that users, mostly wanting performance, were better off buying them. Genera itself eventually got hosted as an emulator or something on Alphas. Then Alphas bit the dust haha. Wait, it's not funny cuz PALcode was amazing.

Anyway, economics and market demand as usual. That's what killed it.
You're conflating a ton of different cultural issues (3rd wave feminism, UK's censorship fetish, etc) and removing them from their temporal context. Showgirls only came out 22 years ago; it was regarded as a bad movie, but it didn't generate much outrage.
Definitely superconductors; that's the only viable way to generate a field that strong. Design the spacecraft properly and you may not need an active cooling system. The James Webb Space Telescope aims to keep the shaded side below 50K… while at the same time solar panels and all its solar-facing equipment will operate 250K hotter near room temperature. The trick is maintaining this temperature gradient.

Apparently the design of the JWST is sufficient to reach temperatures as low as 37K on the cold side passively — below the superconducting limit for some materials. They're additionally using a cryocooler to take the temp down to below 7K for one specific instrument.

Even if these letters represented the exact same sound, Hangul would still be an alphabetic system, wouldn't it? There are plenty of combinations of glyphs which map to the same sounds in English, e.g. "ay" in "play" and "eigh" in "sleigh" or "weigh". (Although if you're making a point about only the second part of the quote — "each symbol represents separate phoneme" — then I apologize.)

I think the author was trying to distinguish between Hangul and, say, written Chinese or Japanese Kanji which are logographic. I've known lots of people in the US who assume the Korean written language functions similarly because "all Asian languages are like that".

Agreed on Apple dropping the ball. But Windows 10, while certainly better than modern OS X or Windows 8 does not have the stability or adherence to well-tested design that Windows 7 had. W10 has seen serious quality assurance issues[1], partly as a result of Microsoft cutting large amounts of QA testers as it switched development methodologies.

This has lead to an immense number of mistakes, bugs, and unhandled cases seeping all throughout Windows 10.

At its core, W10 is still a great OS, but the lack of proper testing (and its massive, scary levels of privacy invasion) is something to be aware of.

>The concept of "circle" is a human invention, in that a perfect circle has never been observed in the universe.

It doesn't have to be observed as some material manifestation to be a discovery. Notions can also exist outside human intervention and shape the universe.

Which is also why humans can discover such things (like pi) in parallel, without one discoverer ever having been in contact with the other.

Or why even aliens can discover the same concepts.

Vancouver tax is full of loopholes though and unlikely to change anything. Owners can simply hire phony renovators and keep changing their applications to forever wait for their renovation permits (and avoid the tax) or pretend the work isn't completed.

I don't think it's Hacker News specifically. More social media in general. That's because social media tends to be filled with a lot of posts on:

1. How 'terrible' everything supposedly is and every negative look at things in the world. Because hey, negativity draws in the clicks and attention.

2. How well people other than you seem to be doing at the moment. Cause people struggling in life tend to share less on the internet.

These two factors mean that spending too long on any social media site can leave you feeling terrible.
3D Printing a House in 24 Hours
Israel's situation is very unique because a large number people visit there and stay there, as you said, for social and religious reasons. Paris may also fit this category. However, for most cities, this isn't the case. Most cities, espcially in the west, have these homes as investment property and not property bought for social reasons. This is certainly the case in Canada where many of these vacant properties are bought by foreign investors (mainly Chinese) for tax and investment purposes. Nobody comes to Canada for social or religious reasons. These kinds of investments are susceptible to economic incentives.
Linux has done pretty well with the "worse" GPL license.
How is it not?

Right - that's simply a result of what I say in the post about Apple focusing on iOS first, then letting the byproduct of that filter down into OS X. That's a end-result of the Mac team being merged into the iOS team. Maybe it's not bad, but it just means slower overall progress.
There's no doubt that the data and measurements would tell us that this analog gear is objectively less accurate than a laptop's worth of high-quality digital gear.

What gets overlooked, though, is that analog gear often sounds more pleasing because some kinds of distortion sound subjectively "good" to our ears.

The easiest example is electric guitars. They are full of (intentionally introduced) distortion and (when everything is set up and played well) they sound freaking awesome. We all know this, right?

We also know that most distortion sounds bad -- when your mp3 is corrupted, or when you're using the headphone output of a crappy laptop with a bunch of random noise.

So that tells us what? Some distortion sounds good, some sounds bad.

Clipping and random noise are forms of distortion that sound bad, generally, unless you're intentionally going for some kind of glitches-out sound like some artists do.

Some distortion sounds pleasing through, just like our electric guitar example. Second-order harmonic distortion (and other even-order distortion) often sounds good to us. Second order distortion introduces distortion that is exactly one octave higher and one octave lower than the fundamental frequency of the note being played. It's basically a "chorus" effect and it can be very pleasing and musical.

This is why tube amplification can be very enjoyable. Objectively, it's shit. Subjectively, it can sound nice, because most of the distortion is second-order harmonic distortion.

I don't know what kind of technology exists inside this console, but just know that accuracy is not always the highest goal of art. It's why we have paintings instead of photographs, and why movies have dramatic lighting inside of just clinically lighting everything like it was the inside of an operating room.

Or, just use your ears. Because Dark Side of the Moon sounds as good as any album you've heard in your life, and significantly better than most.

How robotic delivery will disrupt the grocery industry
>Swift appeared in IOS first

Which makes perfect sense. We talk to our phones all the time anyway, and hands-free is crucial. For desktop, not so much.

>APFS (not AFS) is the default in IOS, and still in feature preview and pretty unusable in 10.12. It's "expected" it will be released for desktop in 2017

Which makes perfect sense. A constrained environment without an exposed filesystem like iOS is easier to convert to a new FS. A full blown desktop OS not so much. That's why it needs much more testing and development to deliver the latter.

But they ARE doing this testing and development.

(Btw, APFS is not "the default in iOS" yet. It will be when 10.3 is released -- it is still in beta atm).
I would respectfully disagree.
