> At a surface level, it seems to demonstrate that sex -- and not just fruits of performances thereof -- is a transaction, and that the attributes that they bring to the marketplace (appearance, aesthetic, attitude, interests, personality, attainment) are unpopular among the potential pool. Amateur pornography exacerbates this, because it appears to suggest that sex, and the mood of sexual adventurousness required to film it, is extremely common, and taking place between average, everyday people. This can further their fears of inferiority.

Is this more Jordan Peterson, “woe is men” shit?

Seriously, if these sovereign individuals can’t forge social relationships with others, especially women, and use that to further their understanding and connection with the real world, then that is their problem, as individuals. It’s not society’s fault that these individuals choose to not engage with society on society’s terms. It’s certainly not women’s fault and very much not their responsibility to fix.

> so it seems his appeal is primarily limited to the kinda-sorta-far-right.

That's actually not the case (just see what kind of questions he gets from his actual audiences to see for yourself). Though on a surface level some of the alt-right likes him because he pisses off SJWs. But they're mistaken to think he's any kind of ally. He's spent much of his career opposing their views and sees both the alt-right and extreme left as big problems.

The idea that he's alt-right is really nonsense. He taught for decades at Harvard and the University of Toronto. As he says himself, you can go and look through his hundreds of hours of lectures and try to find where he's promoted anything alt-right. It's quite the opposite.

It's largely a false narrative driven by the extreme left, who are trying to dismiss and ruin him because he's critical of what they're doing.

This also happened with the progressive professor Bret Weinstein - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cMYfxOFBBM

They tried/are trying to destroy him. It's a real problem.
The Hittite web site had some great tools such as a graphical mixer spur calculator. Of course that is gone. ADI tech support sucks. The HMC6300 documentation is poor and buggy, and tech support won’t help. Used to be you could call Hittite and speak with an engineer. ADI is a black hole of web forms and forum posts.

I just hope they leave LT Spice alone, but I’m sure they will fix it until it’s broken.

It's a good question.

Capital intensity (aka "capital deepening") is the is the ratio of capital needed in relation to other factors of production. The long term trend seems to be that capital intensity is growing.

Increasing capital intensity increases the the productivity of labor even if the worker is not "more productive" in the sense the term is commonly understood. Factory that replaces 1000 workers in a manufacturing line with 10 workers looking monitors all day long higher labor productivity because they produce more GDP per hour worked. This is probably one of the reasons why productivity increase is not transferring fully into wage increase (wage share is decreasing).

Capital intensity growing would increase the return of capital if everything else would stay the same. But if people are paid less, they consume less. If the household final consumption expenditure deceases, government final consumption expenditure (or NGO's) must take the slack or final demand decreases and capital gains decrease.

In a closed economy (or import export balance): wages + other benefits + taxes => demand that produces capital gains in the private sectors.

It's impossible to say how it turns to be unless you know the relevant coefficients.

I’ve been told that there are a few main consultancy firms which do the bulk of development for most companies. It’s more appropriate to hire these firms than it is to build your own teams. Because these firms do not pay high amounts to their devs, it sets the norm across the country.

That is one possible interpretation, but like many things around the GDPR, it is not what the regulation literally says nor how the technology actually works in practice, so other reasonable interpretations are also possible. I am asking whether there is any official, authoritative guidance on this.
Does this really help? I'm being very self-critical and way demanding towards myself - on a level I would never require from anyone else. But I feel that's the only way to really push forward and improve myself instead of stagnating into the feeling of comfort.
Maybe it has multiple meanings, but I thought medium referred to the length of content. As opposed to short form (Twitter) or long form (articles, papers, etc)
"When the rubber meets the road, some engineers are better than others and it affects the end product."

This is overly individualistic. A given engineer is not better or worse in some absolute sense. They are better or worse at a given job, which takes into account many other contextual factors: the specific goal, the rest of the team (who will be pursuing a that goal cooperatively), and the unique challenges which face that team/goal combination.

For example, it may be that your engineer Dmitri is best at solving particular types of design problems, but he only speaks Russian, and he's having trouble on a team with no other native Russian-speakers.

In this case, the "best" engineer to hire for Dmitri's team is a Russian, even if they're "worse" at solving design problems on an individual basis. In the abstract, hiring an engineer based on the language they speak goes against the meritocratic ideal, but in practice it is obviously the decision which best moves the team toward their goal.

More generally, one could say that even though language-diversity is not obviously or directly related to engineering effectiveness, it is still related. Having many languages represented on a team increases the odds that the performance of people like Dmitri will not be limited by a language barrier in the first place.

It's funny you mentioned "the world as it is" vs "the world as you want it to be". Because from my perspective, you're describing the world as you want it to be: each person has an abstract platonic "skill value" which can be objectively and universally evaluated, and which translates predictably and directly into metrics like load-bearing capacity. This is a lofty ideal, but does not reflect how organizations and teams actually achieve goals.

"The world as it is" involves orgs with lots of subjective, local, interdependent systems which often involve interpersonal dynamics, norms, and emergent social phenomena, all of which have an indirect but very significant effect on metrics like load-bearing capacity.
I should have mentioned that this magical 100X PM chooses the right solution to the biggest problem. I'm not referring to the PM who manages a project he or she was given. You can't manage your way to glory if you're solving a problem no one cares about.

Think Drew Houston deciding that magically syncing files on save without an explicit "Do you want to sync" step was a good idea. Magic doesn't happen often, but it exists in the world.

> The rise of cheap entertainment in the form of online gaming or Netflix come readily to mind.

Those forms of entertainment have very little to do with sex, though. Pornography on the other hand is all about it by definition, so it would be odd to place gaming or Netflix on the same level as pornography regarding the influence they can have on sexual behavior.

I mean, gamers don't get an erection while playing and people usually don't masturbate when watching Netflix. Pornography is a sexual visual stimulus and it seems very hard not to suspect it has a significant impact on libido. I can also mention the many personal accounts on r/nofap that seem to confirm it.

Great article and very sustainable way to make change. As willpower seems to be a finite resource, substituting knowledge for willpower is a powerful & sustainable strategy for changing habits.
The assumption the author has made is that each chip has an R&D spend proportional to the revenue that it generates (~20%). This is clearly false. Some chips are relatively simple but sell in huge numbers so the R&D per revenue is extremely low. An SDR is one of the most complex chips you can make with a wide range of expertise going into the design. I can easily imagine $20+ million being spent on R&D for this chip and the market for it is pretty limited (not for consumer products). Even at 100,000 sales the R&D costs alone would be $200 per chip.

Pricing for these sort of niche low volume products is guided much more by what the market tolerates paying rather than the production and development costs. A large number of these types of chip never recover their R&D spends.
Women have plenty of resentment too, especially when they see men their age going after girls several years younger, something they didn’t really experience when they were young.
Exclusive relationships remove 2 or more whether they are committed monogamy, committed polygamy (polygyny or polyandry), or committed two-sided polyamory (the last seems the most rarely attested, if it is a thing at all outside of fiction, and is included only for the same of excessive completeness.)

Committed polygamy does so asymmetrically with regard to gender, particularly, a committed polygynous relationship removes more women from the pool than men, and thus can be seen (from a numbers-game perspective) as disadvantaging not-yet-attached men more than monogamous commitments.

Personally, I've found makita to be one of the worst. Their batteries all have a unique ID chip which communicates with the charger. If it fails to charge it more than 3 times, it permanently disables the battery. So it's not at all friendly for someone wanting to replace cells themselves.

I wouldn't trust them for contractor/professional work, but IMO ryobi has done the best job. They've never changed their connector, so a 10 year old drill that came with nicad batteries can still be used with a brand new lithium cell. This is great for a homeowner, you don't have to buy all new tools when Dewalt changes their battery design after 5 years.
Be careful when you try to paint an entire field with a single color. There is a prevalent trend of doing this even though one can't even name 3 not so typical ayurvedic medicines.

Ayurvedic system isn't completely pseudo-science, though there are some nonsensical stuffs here and there. I mean when someone says ayurvedic system can treat cancer, you have reasons to laugh at it.

I am not a doctor or even a pharmacist but my dad's been running a medical shop since last 45 years. And he sells entire range of Ayurvedic medicines along with allopathic medicines.

I know of hundreds of cases where ayurvedic medicines performed far better than allopathic medicines. Yes hundreds of cases. In fact, even I myself have recommended ( and have used myself) a particular ayurvedic medicine for treatment of chronic fever where allopathic treatment just didn't work. And it worked miraculously in every single cases. There are countless other examples.

My point is, don't call ayurvedic system pseudoscience just because it is 'intellectually superior' viewpoint. Have seen too many people calling ayurvedic system bullshit even when they can't even tell the name of 3 medicines.

It's crazy where the Overton window is that no one gives a shit about privacy issues unless they tie into politics somehow, and government trying to protect citizens' privacy by means of laws with actual teeth (read: fines) is equated to physical violence.

Ad tech has taken full carte blanche for long enough. If you actually dig into GDPR you find that it's quite reasonable, far better than the cookie law and other earlier iterations that fundamentally misunderstood technology.

I figure that most incel-type dudes have never had the experience of rejecting someone romantically, for any reason, but have been rejected. The complaint that women can be shallow and men can't (which isn't true; everyone, largely, is shallow to some degree) is really a face-saving way of complaining that women get to screen and reject men, and incel-type dudes don't feel like they have anywhere near that level of agency.

These are basic human-type concerns. Which makes the angry, bitter, you-definitely-can't-empathize-with-me rhetoric of many incels even more frustrating.

Peterson doesn't want a really good editor. His books are known for being intentionally vague and incomprehensible while sounding clever and insightful, but in a way where most people can never really prove that he intended to make a statement about anything.

It sounds good to people who don’t understand how mining works.

Since this argument has been made however, they could make local prices contingent on number of jobs. If you consume x power employing less than y local employees, pay the export rate.
Look, GDPR is not about technical means, it is about a concept. If the ICO proves to you that you are conceptually violating the GDPR by enabling 3rd party to violate it and you don't have your back covered, you wont have much to defend you with. You need to have a proof that you have done everything in your power to defend your users right to privacy and you were cheated by 3rd party. This is why all the fuss about GDPR was in last 6 months, you can't downplay the concept as it isnt saying anything what "script" or "service" (or cookies as an ultimate abuse of "concept of law" and an example why GDPR was written this way) you can use or not, it is just talking about user right to privacy and for you as data contoller, it is your duty to defend it.

According to this Q&A from the IRS, yes, miners are on the hook: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-14-21.pdf:

A-8: Yes, when a taxpayer successfully “mines” virtual currency, the fair market value of the virtual currency as of the date of receipt is includible in gross income. (...)

A-9: If a taxpayer’s “mining” of virtual currency constitutes a trade or business, and the “mining” activity is not undertaken by the taxpayer as an employee, the net earnings from self-employment (generally, gross income derived from carrying on a trade or business less allowable deductions) resulting from those activities constitute self-employment income and are subject to the self-employment tax.

I’ve thought (and experimented) about this for a while and here’s what I came up with:

* Goals are better for the short-term (we’re talking days and weeks).

* Systems (naturally) are better for the long-term (months and years).

* The best way to system-ize something is to make it a habit.

* A system without an objective is useless and inefficient.

* Which to use ? It depends on your personality AND the task at hand.

* Defining an objective is paramount.

* Objective =/= goal. An objective is of the highest order, a goal is a part of an objective. E.g. Objective: Lose fat, goal: stop consuming sugar.
It’s all about trust.

It’s all about in the western world too. How many people understand how their medicine works, or even the processes by which their medicine is vetted. Or even the statistics around their medicine?

In general, I’d guess they don’t. The vast majority of people just trust that the system works and is not corrupt.

So I wouldn’t be too quick to judge. Because we’re starting to see a break down in trust in the western world too (for example with the anti-vaccination movement). And because trust doesn’t have a firm rational basis, once it breaks down it’s hard to restore...

Amla juice controversy arose because food inspector didnt had its ingredient table for Amala juice, so he matched it with Apple Juice ingredient table. Of course, it would not pass the test and the product will be called substandard.
There are various such incidences where misinformation campaign on SM created paranoia. Patanjali wanted Amala juice to be passed a ayurvedic medicine, but they insisted on having it as consumer product. But you know Amala juice are again available in cateen stores and the controversy has been resolved.

Please dont fall for one sided story, it would be good to look into official response from the company. Even a judge has to listen to the story of criminal before anouncing final punishment.

ZFS is an industrial-scale technology. It's not a scooter you just hop on and ride. It's like a 747, with a cockpit full of levers and buttons and dials. It can do amazing things, but you have to know how to drive it.

I've run ZFS for a decade or more. With little or no tuning. If I dial my expectations back, it works great, much better than ext4 for my use case. But once I start trying to use deduplication, I need to spend thousands of dollars on RAM, or the filesystem buckles under the weight of deduplication.

My use case is storing backups of other systems, with rolling history. I tried the "hardlink trick" with ext4, the space consumption was out of control, because small changes to large files (log files, ZODB) caused duplication of the whole file. And managing the hard links took amazing amounts of time and disk I/O.

ZFS solved that problem for me. Just wish I could do deduplication without having to have 64GB of RAM. But, I take what I can get.
