> I'm not sure I ever met a CRT monitor over 19".

Many years ago I delivered and set up 22" and, I think 24", Cornerstone and Sony branded monitors for banking, drafting, and medical use when I worked for VARs. They were beasts to lift but beautiful displays. I personally bought and used for many years a Mitsubishi Diamond CRT display with the NEC version of the Trinitron tube because it had multiple inputs (and I had all kinds of adapters) and would happily sync to nearly anything- Sun, Mac, SGI, pc, composite.
"Why does it appear that the vast majority of women prefer the same small group of men?"

The chart doesn't show that. The chart shows that in surveys, women and men answer a survey with different average baselines for what "average" means. That's interesting, but it fundamentally tells you about how men and women answer surveys, not how they are attracted to the opposite gender.

What tells you their actual attraction is revealed preference: Who they date, and who they message. And the same OKCupid data source shows that women do message the same men they rate as "below average", whereas men actually overwhelmingly message the most attractive women. So right off the bat, this isn't a promising start: The author has interpreted the result backwards.

> translate this plot to IQ, and you have a world where the women thing 58 percent of men are brain damaged

No, it doesn't. It translates into a world where the women obviously do not act like they think this, and thus via revealed preferences, clearly do not think this. (But where the men do...)

> I began by wondering if a simple statistical model

Garbage in, garbage out. If you're reading the chart upside down, you're simple statistic model won't apply very well to real life.

Edit: According to the same data source OP is using "2/3 of male messages go to the top 1/3 of women" where women messages to men follow a much flatter response curve, with a peak right around the median. See https://theblog.okcupid.com/your-looks-and-your-inbox-8715c0... In my view, that conclusively undermines OP's premise.
I mean, it could be that child abduction is falling because the media warns parents and they all keep better watch of their children.

I'm too young to remember, but I feel that religion or religious people in America used to be deeply empathetic. Every single person I've known from the Greatest Generation seem to have strong senses of empathy and generally live mindfully.

Nowadays it seems that a lot of that has died out in most places though...except for like, Utah...
Does the same hold true in Europe?
I don't subscribe to the philosophy that I think underlies this article but I can see that from their perspective slut shaming has advantages.

If you assume that society accepting more sex leads mostly to more sex and sexual partners for the 20%, and not the 80%, and a delay to "settling", then tolerance of lots of sex outside of marriage, from the perspective of the 80% means that instead of the twenty year old settling with you at twenty, you're in a sexual desert until at 40 she couldn't snag any of the presumably many members of the 20% who she slept with whilst auditioning and then settles with you.
Hey - I tried it with this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhVQf2ucKhs) at the default percentage and it just seems to pull, what appear to be, a few words from the video. What should the expectations be?

Overall it's a great idea if it can generate a useful/consumable summary.
The negativity precedes the talks of low pay etc.

And it might sound callous but plenty of companies have similar practices (and are not creating anything of earth-shattering value), so judging Tesla more than the others is a bit unfair.
Well yes, just as it's easier to make snarky comments than provide actual content, as evidenced by your post.

It's fairly atypical for French to work only 35h a week. I've never seen that anywhere in tech in the private sector.

Advocates of natural keys are aware that many people spend their careers creating auto increment primary keys everywhere. When combining disparate systems within a single organization, natural keys help. The biggest headache being difficult-to-identify duplicate data. However, this headache can be avoided if you have a natural candidate key. So just be sure to add unique constraints where appropriate, and the auto increment primary key (e.g. to make ActiveRecord happy) won't cause problems.
That seems not to be the case everywhere - they might make money but not profits anyway. It seems uncertain that they actually use the money to fund education. Not to mention the fact that they basically exploit the athletes, who aren't always even given a quality education in return. Some schools make every student help subsidize the sports programs.

> With a Volt, there are places that you just can’t go.

To be fair, you can charge any EV fairly quickly at any campground with 220V RV hookups. With adequate planning, I think you could drive a Bolt anywhere.
It wasn't an 80's thing either... I grew up in the 70s/80s and we as kids were free to wander all day long (in the summer), just had to be home by dinner.
The issue with the independent as a source is that it is obviously designed to be consumed as entertainment rather than a serious look at the topic. You can cherry-pick studies that show something entertaining, but that doesn't tell you much about the current scientific consensus. It's like how news loves to report that popular indulgences protect against cancer (wine, chocolate, coffee, whatever)

Are you planning on starting to wear red and eat a lot of garlic in order to attract more women?
Yeah, but there are plenty of people visiting /r/churning who are renewing the CSR (myself included) and that I think is a win for Chase. Right now, the math works out to keep putting spend on the CSR (along with Freedom and Freedom Unlimited). Granted, the math is different for everyone based on their locations, spending, and travel habits, but I think we'll see a decent number of renewals.
Sounds like a rationalisation.

Plenty of places have no problem hiring (almost) only women, e.g. kindergarden, waitresses, art galleries, medical sociologists, stewardesses.

In any case I doubt this would be illegal in every legislation. In the US men are not a "protected group".

Where there is a will there is a (legal) way!
I imagine that a company could legally
load up	with women to the max, compensate with differential hiring: e.g.
only hiring female programmers, compensate with lower paid male drivers/cleaners.
Or use outsourcing.

I'm sure if Dorsey, Zuckerberg, Pichai etc really belived that women are underpaid vis-a-vis their contribution, they could easily make it happen. Indeed, they are now so powerful they could get their army of lobbyists to change the law.

Action speaks louder than words.
Lao Tzu sees a correlation. I'm 32, and my boundaries gradually increased from "the front yard, ask to go across the street" to "the street, ask to go around the block or park" etc. I lived in urban South Minneapolis, so not rough but not gentle... enough to build habitual awareness. We were a roving pack of 5+ kids at a given time, as many as 12 or so. I addicted myself to computer screens against my parents' wishes (they prefer TV), although if not for screens I'd probably do as my vice principal said and "flip [him] a good burger someday". There were ample police and one possible abduction attempt outside with my cousin while very young, sooo...
"Hypergamy doesn’t necessarily guarantee an inequality in actual sexual encounters..."

I'm not sure what he means by inequality in sexual encounters. Every time a man gets a new partner, a woman does as well. The average number of encounters is the same for both sexes so long as the number of men and women is equal(ish).

I use a Melitta pour-over to make my coffee at my desk in the morning. The main advantage over a machine--other than being a cheap piece of plastic--is that most consumer-grade coffee machines just don't get the water hot enough. But I really don't understand why someone would do this in a cafe.
We got them all over the DC area, and they are mostly microbreweries. Most don't serve food since they don't have a kitchen or a license for that, but they often times have food trucks outside where you get your snacks.
I think it would be good to read this post remembering that Moxie is competing with OpenPGP with his Signal app.

While all what's written is true OpenPGP at it's core is surprisingly simple standard for truly decentralized trust management.

A little bit of fresh thinking can be used to revitalize OpenPGP, like integrating Keybase.io-like identities (e.g. verified Github/Twitter profile): https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vb-openpgp-linked-ids-01

Are there any major cloud providers whose stocks depend on their cloud earnings?

Cloud is probably a fraction of Google’s, IBM’s, Oracle’s and MS’s profits. It’s probably a significant part of Amazon’s profits but Amazon doesn’t trade on earnings.
I would even go as far as saying policemen killing people, armed or not should be solvable. Why don't we have nonlethal incapacitant weapons by now? Something that would immediately make you pass out or something. Is there even any R&D put into this?
From "the social function of intellect"[1]:
"Henry Ford, it is said, commissioned a survey of the car scrap yards of America to find out if there were parts of the Model T Ford which never failed. His inspectors came back with reports of almost every kind of breakdown: axles, brakes, pistons - all were liable to go wrong. But they drew attention to one notable exception, the kingpins of the scrapped cars invariably had years of life left in them. With ruthless logic Ford concluded that the kingpins on the Model T were too good for their job and ordered that in future they should be made to an inferior specification. Nature is surely at least as careful an economist as Henry Ford. It is not her habit to tolerate needless extravagance in the animals on her production lines: superfluous capacity is trimmed back, new capacity added only as and when it is needed"

One thing that has always impressed me: how did Spotify obtain licenses for such a massive, international catalog of popular (and often, rare) music.

Can anyone shed some light, e.g. who led this effort, what made it possible?
This article appears to be jumping the gun. It presents the defect as a fact, but aren't we still in the "rumor" phase (other than perhaps the few who have early access to embargoed details)?
Microsoft acquires Avere Systems in boost to hybrid cloud portfolio
That's such a simple thing and yet no one seems to acknowledge it. Look at Obamacare, it's going to lower health care costs. How? Savings! What does that mean? Everyone you don't like won't make as much money. All the people you like will keep getting paid. I understand we all hate health insurance and pharmaceutical CEO's but taking them out back and shooting them will save less then is commonly understood. The same goes for money wasted on advertising.

Saving money on health care is (to repeat an oft told joke) like going to heaven. Everyone (Republicans and Democrats both) wants to do it but no one wants to die.

I understand it to a degree. I've personally never liked partying; hated the music and the culture around alcohol and only did it in order to get girls.

There are more efficient ways today.
i'm planning on doing the same for the exact same reason ( phone first then probably desktop later). the final blow was exactly the same : forcing me to install iOS11 , that previously made my ipad air too slow, using the "no ? then type your code to install during the night" dark pattern.
in addition to that i'll also stop my carreer as an iOS developer and move to cross-platform sdks ( flutter comes right on time).

i'm also looking for a non-android non-ios smartphone, so if anyone knows something decent...
But is the security Bug exploitable in any realistic way?
That's the goal of most companies in competitive markets, yes.
No? Lets say we intro-/extroversion is either heritable (with prob .5) or random(with prob .5).
If both of your parents are introverted you have a 50% chance of inheriting the introversion of your parents or a 50% chance at a coinflip, which gives us 75% for introversion and 25% for extraversion.

> The US system is actually much more liberal than the EU

How so? Here are the options to immigrate to the US for an IT professional:

- be hired by some rich company, try H1B, most likely fail in the lottery and wait for another year;

- be hired by some rich megacorp with presence in multiple countries, move to one of the countries, wait for a year, get L1 and move to the US. Too bad if you have a partner, he/she won't be able to work for a few years

In both cases your position is really precarious until you get your green card, so oftentimes you can't really afford to change employers. How on Earth is it "liberal"?
While I'm slightly too old to have experienced what the article is describing, the trend is there and I believe technology plays an undenyable role (followed by parenting). I have many siblings but notably a brother who's in his first year high school. I also just attended a wedding and got to meet the high school brother of the groom.

I was talking to my brother on NYE. He was lamenting that he could not find anyone to hang out with on NYE for a party. We asked why he didn't text people and get something together, "that's not how it works, people communicate with snapchat, and I'm not allowed to have that, not that I want it.. it's just people posting weed and coke stories". He was obviously a little moody but still unable to find any social gathering (even a parent hosted on) on NYE of all nights.

The brother of the groom: nice kid but wholly uninterested in anything other than maintaining his snapchat streaks. First he came to me for data. A few days later his phone was dead and he wanted to install snapchat on my phone to continue the streaks. It's psychologically addicting. And it made me realize how much people are depending on fabricated social experiences on their phones instead of real social interactions.

One thing is common: snapchat. People don't hang out anymore, they have streaks. If they do hang out it's over pot or coke, no one is even that interested in drinking these days. Oh no tech is ruining everything! Well, no. But something is happening. It's not snapchat's fault, either (unless they deliberately exploit addicting behaviors to increase engagement and retention). I think parents are largely to blame. It's easy to let your 14yr old become consumed in their phone because that means more internet time and less driving around for you. My parents are very wary of this and it's largely why they waited as long as they could before giving my younger brothers a phone and why they are reluctant to let them create an entirely digital social life.

My generation, we discovered the internet before our parents knew what it was. I administered networks at 15. I built websites at 14. I was a moderator of large forums at 13. My dad gave me his old laptop when I was 12--bobs celebs era. And I think I've turned out pretty decent.

So it leaves me all really torn. Do we embrace technology or shun it? My main fear isn't necessarily the tech itself, but the dependence on it. I fear the iGen isn't learning how to use computers as tools and simply becoming consumers of all the experiences we create with them. And at the same time I hate some of those things we've created like SC and FB for literally taking the human out of humanity--despite having grown quite accustomed to virtual interactions growing up.

So I guess the real question is whether it's a problem that people aren't socializing anymore, or at least doing it differently. And if so what will we do about it? Maybe AR to the rescue...
I think you could add.

Paypal: 75% (Much hate, still good option for many things.)

Solar City: 75% (Over expanded, not sure if that was a bad thing and was bought by Tesla. Still it installed 870 MW of solar in 2015 alone.)

Steve Jobs had close ties to fewer companies, Pixar, Apple, NeXT and did a similar purchase of NeXT by Apple. However, while dubious Apple greatly benefited from NeXt. So, I am willing to bet Solar City could be a similar net benefit.

The boring company is still to early to judge. Hyperloop is not yet a failure and considering it was simply a short paper I think 0% is overly harsh.

I still lost count of the times a unique constraint that needed to be removed made for much more of a headache than if it hadn't been there from the beginning - because it turned out to never have been neccessary, but you still had to care for the uniqueness assumption in all associated code.

Where you work do people never make uniqueness assumptions in application code unless there's an explicit unique constraint in the database? That's impressive. Are you hiring?
Data science is rapidly changing marketing. Specifically, contextual marketing is on the rise. Contextual marketing differs from traditional marketing. As its name suggests, this type of marketing strategy is all about CONTEXT. We are no longer interested in observing and predicting how people will carry out simple conscious-decision making. Instead, with this type of marketing, we seek to observe the habits that individuals get into when buying a certain product, booking a trip, or browsing through online catalogues.
It's worth digging one level deeper.

Screen time has increased, and it may be at the expense of parties, but screen time is also an unsupervised place where the parties have an expectation of privacy and control.

The stereotypical party the article laments is a complex affair that requires transportation, supplies, a venue, and desirable participants, and doesn't spring into place organically. Social circles at colleges can organize these, but there has been extraordinary scrutiny into campus parties in recent years, due to accounts of sexual assaults. These related developments makes them more difficult to plan, drives desirable participants away, and makes resulting parties less enjoyable. With common people's parties blunted, partying becomes the domain of the wealthy and attractive, in entertainment playgrounds like Miami and Vegas.

As for teenagers, parental supervision is at an all-time high, so organizing a party often requires finding a cooperating adult (e.g. a socially-connected college student, an older sibling, a laissez-faire parent) who is willing to provide the venue and supplies away from the eyes of concerned parents. Fewer college parties means fewer teen parties too.
> I've heard it claimed that sometimes the government treats hiring as welfare employment programs

There's two ways this is true in state and/or federal government:

(1) hiring into specific programs which are essentially designed as welfare hiring programs (these aren't big today, but there are a few of them still.)

(2) special, broadly-applicable civil service hiring preferences (mainly for certain disabilities and military veterans.)
My parents were very liberal regarding alcohol; I'd request, they'd see how much I'd requested recently (wasn't ever much, spent too much money on video-games to afford alcoholism) they'd pick it up for me. In fact my Dad educated me a lot on whiskeys, what to look for, what to avoid, etc.

I never felt alcohol was stigmatized in my house, and so when I turned 21, I did have a pretty big party with other drinking aged friends and actually bought drinks myself at restaurants, but aside of that, not much changed. I still drink socially, but I've never felt even the slightest urge to overdo it (and in fact, only get stumble drunk at home with friends).
