That's the debate in the article body.

Less hedonistic meaning they are having less sex and so fewer unintended and teenage pregnancies, less drinking and drugs and so less violence and anti-social behavior, better relations with the parents and in particular their fathers, and more pursuing further education.

Basically every metric of bad behavior that used to be a cause of concern for 80s and 90s teenagers is across the board at record lows for the current generation of teenagers.

Downside is they are more likely to be depressed, stressed, sexless and lonely with weak connections to their age peers.
This articule just seems to revolve around some pretty skewed data.

> Recently the founder of something called Ripple briefly became richer than Mark Zuckerberg.

Became paper richer, which is really quite different. The "market cap" calculations just don't represent reality; he couldn't realistically dump all of his Ripple and expect price to not crash (not even taking into account the huge natural correction in price after the peak of the bull run)

> The cryptocurrency community is centered around a tightknit group of friends

This statement implies that there are few people in the community at all, which is just not true.

> some estimate that 95 percent of the wealth is held by 4 percent of the owners.

This links to an article that says that 95% of the wealth is held by 4% of the wallets, which makes an absolutely huge difference. This is because:

- Some of these wallets are held by exchanges, who hold all of their users' crypto

- Some of these wallets are lost early adopter wallets, from when a large number wasn't something impressive (e.g. Satoshi's lost Bitcoin, accounting for 4 million (!) Bitcoin)

- Many of the wallets created are never used or have already been used just for moving funds and thus have 0 balance (in fact, the article's graph states that 41.93% of wallets hold just 0.01% of bitcoin)

> I disagree with that completely, like honestly people that prefer monogamy generally do so because they are either afraid to be alone, because it was what they were brought up on, just don't want to deal with being rejected a bunch before hooking up that night, or they are romantics.

That's a bitter remark. I think there's a lot to be said for having a life partner by the age of 30 (there are movie tropes about this), generally from a psychological and sociological point of view. If you don't look early, you decrease your chances of having it by the time it gets really hard to find mates at 35+ Pursuing a monogamous relationship necessarily requires you to be a functioning adult, capable of engaging in a negotiated relationship. How well you tolerate and negotiate, is the primary method by which both members determine the value of the relationship. This is unappealing to people who are psychologically undeveloped, damaged (insert millennial infantilism joke here) or simply have a personality that is incompatible with such a relationship...which can often be traced to a problematic upbringing. I'm just repeating part of what you've said with a different interpretation, but the general statement was just grating.

It's not that simple. In the 1960s operating systems such as Multics existed, which even then had the idea of device independence. So the end of line sequence as far as Multics applications were concerned was a single LF, whatever the terminal type. The operating system was in charge of converting that to whatever the terminal actually needed. Multics was following the standards of the time, moreover. As the ASCII standard of the time explicitly allowed an LF could denote both a Line Feed and a Carriage Return (and indeed any padding delay characters too) in a single character if the system decided to employ single character encodings.

If chickens are anything like a neural network (and they kinda have to be at some level, perhaps a more complicated network than what we have in our computers now, but a learning discriminator network nonetheless) - it sounds like they would be reacting on the features which vary the most between male and female faces.

They have trained chickens to discern between male and female faces. It would be logical to assume that they have found features that allow them to put each sample on that one-dimensional scale, and then use those features. It would mean that a more "beautiful" face is the one that is most distinguished in it's features from the face of another sex.

This would be the most naive interpretation, but as always in nature, there can of course be layers of complexity on top of this.

There is nothing new about us humans having short-term jollies, or even medium- / long-term jollies that are non-monogamous.

Short- / medium- / long-term non-monogamous jollies goes as far back as time immemorial. As far back as the beginnings of life itself. I'm willing to bet monogamy is the new normal as far as historical longevity is concerned. I'm no anthropologist, so I'm willing to be corrected on that matter.

Also, I'd argue consumerism isn't exactly new either. People have been blowing their pay packets at their local pub since the invention of the local pub.

Meanwhile, this was posted on HN a few hours ago:

"Brain Cells Share Information with Virus-Like Capsules"
Discussion/Link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16139798&ref=hvper.com

Maybe this is how the brain achieves back-propagation. This could explain how a headless worm grows back old memories (in other words, because the mechanism that allows it is infra-neuronal).

Funnily enough, I also wonder if, at least from an abstract and blurry viewpoint, this kind of "ambient" diffusion of information could explain why one could spot links from one paper to another like I just did. In this particular case, this is of course speculative but I think the idea i'm drawing on here can be particularly interesting, at least to a computer-science-minded audience like that of HN. If I were to give this idea the flesh supplement it lacks to make it more palpable, I would ask: what would it take for a theory of the way ideas form and diffuse to explain how itself has been formed and diffused ? My guess is that it requires the theory thinker to rephrase the question in this way "Where, thinking this idea will lead me to ?" if he ought to be able to explain not just what the ideation process is like but also how he has found himself caught in its loop. This is the question I'm asking.
I'd say it depends on if it's truly what you want or if it's something that society wants from you. Too often these ideas are societal norms rather than our own opinions.

Notions like "waiting for Prince Charming" or the one things like purity rings are a symptom of in my opinion are indeed naive and against human nature.

> There was no need for this new internet censorship law at all, for they could've just started applying existing hate speech laws.

The new law (NetzDG, roughly "network enforcement act" [1]) was intended to facilitate applying existing laws against illegal content, by mandating that every site with > 2 million users needs to have a clear procedure for reporting illegal content.

Unfortunately, there are only fines for failing to delete obviously illegal content and none for just deleting everything that is reported and not obviously legal. The law makes provisions for handing over tricky cases to an external agency, but expected the companies to jointly set it up themselves ("regulated self-regulation"), which they didn't do; likely because the people checking reports at such an agency are legally mandated to be competent.

> Recently the founder of something called Ripple briefly became richer than Mark Zuckerberg

Excuse me as I just came back from 2005, but nothing says "everyone's getting hilariously rich and you're not" like the point of comparison being Mark Zuckerberg.
No, only if it's a danger to "public peace", and that is actually taken pretty seriously. Citing it as an example is no problem at all, you can even say something like that in first person if it is satire or provocative art. Unless you make it clear that you actually want people to seriously think that jews/muslims are subhuman and should be killed, chances are very slim that you would be convicted for that.
I was talking for myself, not for you.

Also, homosexuality is abhorrent.
Zuckerberg's stock a bit different: the stock represents future income flows - they have real value - whereas cryptocurrency value is a function of confidence.

Yes, the stock would go down on Zuckerberg selling, but that's because people would infer from it an estimate of a decline in future income flows. But the future income flows won't go away just because Zuckerberg sells; it's not just confidence putting a floor on the stock.
I haven't been, so I can't say. From what I've read the tricky things are just the same as the USA - arbitrary stoppages for weird lengths of time (causing missed flights) by surprisingly rude or invasive people.

So you are part of the afraid to be alone category.

If you actually enjoy the persons company, and are both sexually satisfied it's not all that difficult to maintain a partnership, and would make you are naturally inclined to be tolerable and willing to negotiate.

But if I were to pick between dying alone, and sharing my life with some cow who I have nothing in common with which is a situation a lot of stable marriages devolve into, I would pick the former.

It's about the way it's painted in the media. Hookups are often depicted as negative, morally questionable and at times non-consensual as well (mostly involving drugs). There's been a moral panic about this in recent years.

Having consensual, casual sex with someone on the other hand shouldn't ever be considered questionable, given that you're being honest with everyone involved, which might include someone you're in a committed relationship with at the time.

So, doing something consensually never is a bad thing. Lying is, to others as well as to yourself.
It's been years since I last worked with Windows, but:

1) You can install an SSH server on Windows boxes just fine, then use Putty to SSH directly into PowerShell. PowerShell is not a classical shell, but rather a REPL for a procedural, imperative and object-oriented DSL for system configuration and administration based on .NET, with much saner syntax than my beloved zsh. In short, it works quite well.

2) With PowerShell capabilities - I'm a bit fuzzy on the details here, was a long time ago - you don't even need the SSH server, you can issue remote commands from your local PS instance. It required a bit of configuration up front, IIRC, but then you could replace your local session with a remote one with a single command.

So, in my experience - and note that it was probably nearly a decade ago! - Unix-style remote management was absolutely possible and not that much less convenient. And PowerShell is really a solid tool, with easy access to all of .NET and all of the system; the only annoyance I remember was certificate/signature management, dunno if it got any better.
> Neither category is less real.

I think the context is that "real world" is supposed to mean it has a physical effect. The implication is that physical crimes are legitimately categorized crimes and speech crimes are not exactly legitimate (according to where you say words, they might be criminal).

I believe that some words that make someone/some group possibly feel bad (intrinsically, not just to libel), are not a real harm that is in need of remedy. Even if it is something that is known to make someone feel bad, I wouldn't consider it legitimate. It's always subjective and I don't subscribe to that kind of only-use-doublespeak-watchdog thinking.
Servo guys have the potential to make something amazing (i.e. a sane electron type library). But I'm not sure how much they care about that. Other then that there is nothing serious going on.
How can nature be abhorrent? That's like saying God made a mistake.

It would probably be okay for you to say "I find homosexuality abhorrent", and then we can all laugh you out of the room for your anachronistic opinion. But when you say "homosexuality is abhorrent" without owning the statement, you're attempting to make a universal statement of truth.

To which case we will laugh you out of the room for your anachronistic opinion anyway.

Source? Because as a German I strongly disagree with that statement.
To those downvoting this comment: Renowned relationship therapists like Esther Perel seem to agree with me on this matter.
Unless you give more facts, I'd say you are mostly repeating the argument the post you answered to, albeit from another viewpoint. Of course there is the notion that the law is applied to offline and online talk in the same way. The most important distinction in german law is whether the talk is made in public. And Facebook (and to a degree Twitter) surely brought the possibility to a lot of people to make their talk public who hadn't as easy access to an audience before. And surely, Facebook and Twitter did not give proper access to remedies for victims before. What they had was a broad, intransparent workflow that did not match the german law. Civil suits against them regarding such issues are, due to the nature of such suits against huge foreign corporations, mostly inaccessible if you are not equipped with enough funds to go to court for a few rounds.

This is not to say that the law is fine. Its intentions, however, arguably are. To oppose this viewpoint, you would have to defend a world where hate speech and libel go (erratically, but mostly) without defense for the victims. From a very libertarian viewpoint, that may be an acceptable sacrifice, though.

Your summary basically reflects my understanding of the whole mess. However, the reason for my initial question here is that I was surprised to learn that it also affected people in the industry in general - and not only women/poc - so much, to the point where it sounds like making games is no more fun now (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16130003).
None of that is a reason to make a law that has a private company decide what are in effect criminal cases against citizens.

The minister responsible at some point made the completely idiotic remark that that is the right way to go because Facebook and the like are making a lot of money, so they also should be responsible for these costs. It seems like you can be a minister in Germany and never have heard of this concept called "taxes" that other countries use to finance an independent judicial system.

Well, most of them did. This is the most literal example of 'survivor bias' imaginable. Look up 'sausage disease', to just name one.

EDIT: this line of thinking is similar to people saying 'let children roam free, most abductions are done by people the victims know anyway!' or the anti-vaxxer 'why vaccinate when measles is so uncommon!'. Well yes, all of those things are the way they are exactly because of the thing those people are railing against.

Having two kids, the answer feels really obvious to me, but I’d love to see data supporting any viewpoint.

Raising multiple children in western society is really hard. In many (most?) cases you need to move away from family (parents) so there’s limited support from the community or family. There’s limited childcare available, and on top of that kids are expensive. Often both partners are working (or want to get back to work as soon as possible). So if you can satisfy your procreative desires with one child, you just do that.

Compare this to (totally unjust) prior social norms where people didn’t move as far as they do now. Meaning parents could help out. Where it was common to have one non-working partner (so more available time to look after kids).

We’ve created a modern society where raising one child is super-stressful. Why would any sane person have two? I predict that as more societies transform toward the western model we’ll see a massive population decline.
I have no idea what you're on about. I'm not claiming any of that.
