> it simply reinforces gender stereotypes

I have a serious question, and this arises from my mentality that we should be accepting of aberrations from the norm, but that doesn't mean we should hurt the majority in the process.

Why are gender stereotypes bad? If we understand that men and women are different overall, and that those differences lead to a bimodal distribution with gender traits something like this[1], then wouldn't stereotypes naturally emerge? Should we be punishing behavior that large chunks of people align to?

For someone starting out, it would be better to just make these choices than have to suffer the tyranny of the paradox of choice.
It's still just a correlation, and there's a problem with the article:

Of course, there are other factors that could contribute to the increase in interracial marriage.... [But] “The change in the population composition in the U.S. cannot explain the huge increase in intermarriage that we observe,” say Ortega and Hergovich.

That leaves online dating as the main driver of this change.

Except there are more than two possible explanations for this correlation. For example, attitudes towards interracial marriage may have changed in the past couple decades. Therefore this is faulty logic (on the part of the author who wrote this summary, who is different from the researchers).

The study makes a good case for online dating playing a role, but it falls short of establishing it as "the main driver."
For what it's worth, swiping right on everything is no longer the best strategy for men on Tinder. Your profile's visibility matters the most, since women swipe right on something like 15% of profiles, and swiping right on everything lowers the internal ELO score of your Tinder profile.

I'm pretty sure the Microsoft Store in Bellevue still has an HTC Vive set up for demos. There may be a couple people in line. I expect the other Microsoft stores have similar demo stations, you can probably call to verify if you don't want to cross the lake.

I have a home in Atlanta, and so I share in your pain about Marta. There's a lot of societal resistance to Marta, for various reasons I won't get into because I sense you know them already. With a major player like Amazon, the city (and counties for that matter) could afford to ignore the people and plow ahead with expansion. Imagine a giant, beautiful parking deck, a-la-Lindberg up in Cobb County somewhere.

Docking is a pretty interesting idea. I was thinking, could it just drop off a battery that rests in the dock, and then the drone comes back to pick it up later? Docking works too, but occupies the drone for the duration of charging. Maybe less total energy consumption for travel, though.

I wonder how culture specific this is. I once read a fascinating article about the differences in taste between Quebec and French women, where the former preferred muscular men while the latter preferred thinner ones. The theory was that in France, not being muscular is perceived as a sign of belonging to a higher social class whereas having strong arms betrays that you do a physical, low-paid job; whereas in North America, going to the gym seems to be a practice which transcends social class.

EDIT: where as --> whereas

China under Xi Jinping has effectively turned into a dicatatorship, and so with a dictatorship, censorship and blackouts naturally comes along with it. That's the reason why Beijing has recently cracked down on VPN, sent many of the young, brave democratic protestors in Hong Kong to prison, silenced many of its Xi critics, etc.

Will China suffer from the censorship and blackouts? As discussed heavily on HN, probably. Then again, it is most likely that China is already suffering through its own turbulence. Its economy is standing perilously on shadow debt (its going through its own 2007 real estate bubble deflation), while it engages in heavy protectionism - it recently disallowed South Korean companies from moving its assets out of the country, and its citizens, suffering from massive inflation in food and real estate, pollution, dirty water and food, are suffering.

No it won’t all be dandy. But it helps.

Or at least it’s what I’ve seen help the most people I know who are or have been depressed. At the end of the day, the main thing to do is to not give in to depression.

That thing wants you to sit on the couch and feel sorry for yourself. That’s like one of the main symptoms. Fighting that urge helps make it go away eventually.

I mean, shit, even the super-OP, Zach whose post we're commenting on, said that he had to keep taking meds and going to therapy for a few months before he saw results. Do you think doing it just once then saying "Fuck this shit, this doesn't work for me, therapy doesn't work. I tried it and it did nothing". Do you think that would've worked?

Check with your local mental health outpatient care. They most likely have a 10 week CBT group program. You'll also most likely be assigned to a staff psychiatrist or therapist.

I did the program through my local outpatient, and it was awesome. It wasn't a total fix, but it did help me to become aware of some toxic patterns, triggers, and responses.

In BC there are other groups after the 10 week course that are offered during the day, but that's not realistic for most people.
CA is the last place they should consider, and that goes for any company that considers the cost of labor.
Of course privilege affords you a cushion for many things, not only taking risks. That happens in any environment since "money" correlates to a safety net which could translate into the ability to take time to work on what you want. Some countries which have more supporting social systems also support more risk taking, because if the risk taking doesn't work out, the social system will support you to your next career change or re-education programs will let you shift to another field you are interested in. It is much easier in these countries to stop working in your current field and shift to another field. Since education is payed by the state. In the US the divide between the risk takers and the stable situation agents can't only be associated with wealthy support network(family). Since peoples values and levels of what comfort is can vary dramatically. So dvts example actually illustrates this quite strongly. People from a third world country have put up with different levels of poverty or non-access to comforts, so what they consider risks or comforts are different than what people in first world countries consider risks and comforts. The other thing is that people that live with more risks and are brought up in risky environments are more comfortable with taking risks. Success in an immigration story is dependent on many factors, hard work and a lot of luck.
It's also way cheaper to hire software devs, and they can bring in immigrants easily.

I have an old analogue modem which I use to pick up caller ID information for incoming phone calls using NCID[1].

When a call comes in:

* Looks up the number in my address book, and displays the information on my screen. Also sends to the two Kodi/OSMC servers, for people watching TV.

This assumes it is not on my block-list. If it is on my block-list of known scammer and telemarketer numbers then it as automatically answered with a recording of the "This number has been disconnected..." message to try and trick them.

You're not wrong. I believe the effect comes from living in a racially and culturally homogeneous society.

I lived in Japan for several years on and off. Near the end of one of my longest stretches, I clearly remember walking by the glass window of a storefront in Osaka. I saw someone in the reflection that had an absolutely startling appearance, and gasped aloud. Taller, with different hair, eyes, and skin than anyone I'd seen in months. It was me.

The experience of returning to the USA was particularly jarring that time, too. I remember feeling surprised at how fat everyone in the airport was, how there were people with different skin colors everywhere, how loud and lacking in politeness social interactions were. I was born and raised in the USA but there I was, experiencing fight or flight response in completely ordinary situations.

I learned to forgive the Japanese after these experiences.

This was the case for me; selinux transitions are prevented by a filesystem mounted _nosuid_. The failure is not reported because transition failures are apparently so common and unimportant selinux does not report them by default.

I had some Vape related items to sell. From where I'm from a lot of people buy and sell these kind of items through Facebook groups.

I also wanted to make a script to automate the posting of my items but Facebook has gone through extreme lengths to prevent this from happening. I eventually gave up and posted manually.

I've tried to find help for something like depression for almost two decades from therapy. As much as I have wanted it to be, I haven't found therapy to be particularly powerful.

Running is weak also, but insomuch as all you can do is fight and claw your way out of depression[^], long runs, in my experience, can aid to some degree.

[^]Which may very well be a symptom of something(s) we don't understand yet, rather than a disease.
> only the privileged can take risks and only risk is rewarded.

I strongly disagree with this. Anyone can take a risk. This is embodied best by the people crossing the Southern US border where they risk their lives and most if not all of their net worth before they even set foot on US soil. While my experience wasn't nearly as hard, I can relate since I was an illegal alien for years until college.

The difference between the privileged and everyone else is the cost of risk. They can afford to take risks with bigger rewards and they can afford to take risks more often. Consequently they are also more inclined to take risks.
> except if the response to "I tried, but it doesn't work for me" is "your depression makes it even harder, but that is literally irrelevant"

In my experience dealing with depressed people, me included, there’s a huge spectrum in what “tried” means.

Doing it once won’t help much. Forcing yourself to consistently do it every day for 2 years? Now we’re talking.

If after 2 years of doing things that are known to up your spirits in at least some segment of the population every day you still don’t see absolutely any results, then you get to say it doesn’t work.

After all, you wouldn’t expect antidepressants to work unless you take them every day.

If you’re on meds and some days you feel like taking them and others you don’t, and you actually follow that schedule. Do you expect those meds to work?

It’s not the trying and it not working that doesn’t matter. It’s the not feeling like doing things that doesn’t matter. Gotta do it anyway. Whether it's exercise, taking meds, or going to therapy. If you don't do it, it can't help.

I am not familiar with the specifics of the political/legal situation. Based on Wikipedia, it sounds like Executive Agencies such as FEMA treat Puerto Rico as they would a state, to the extinct possible. FEMA is not responsible for every aspect of emergency response in a state. Puerto Rico even has their own National Guard, which is under the command of the governor, and traditionally bears much of the burden for the footwork in disaster response situations (supplementing the permanent resources). FEMA then provides aid to support local agencies in the immediate aftermath and then funding for recovery efforts. (FEMA also provides resources to support local emergency preparedness efforts, but it is a bit late for that now).

I may be wrong, I am certainly no expert, but this is what I have learned from reading about it and what I have observed from other disasters and come to expect of the ways things generally work in the US.

FEMA has been accused of negligence and incompetence as far back as I can remember, under presidents of both parties- usually the loudest by those of the party opposite the current president. Are there specific accusations of things FEMA isn't doing that they have done in other areas that would help in PR?

Though probably not what the OP had in mind, your rebuttal is moot if one considers what we (humans) do with deep pit mining.

Essentially, we make a huge tapering hole in the ground, with each "tier" being part of the roadway for trucks and other mining equipment.

Light isn't really an issue, except at the very bottom, but even it receives some light during the day. Moving the dirt isn't a problem either - I'm not sure where it goes, but the tailings end up somewhere (it isn't all consumed in the mining operation).

As far as a view? Well - if such a construction was done for housing, the tiers could be rows and rows of buildings hugging the sides of the pit, potentially looking out and over at other buildings across a large expanse - like looking out over a valley (if you've never been to a deep pit mine, take a trip to one sometime - it's quite amazing). With trees, plants, etc - perhaps water features and maybe a lake at the bottom - I think (in theory) it could be quite lovely to look at and live in.

It would be nice if the deep pit mines we already have dug could be repurposed, but the problem with many are the amount of contamination caused by the mining and other activities during the operation of the mine; I doubt it would or could ever be fit to live in. Some of these mines are backfilled with the tailings afterward, but not all.
