> The widespread availability of pornography probably does drive home several extra layers of resentment in someone whose personal track record with courting, dating, and sex has been unsatisfying.

IMHO, much worse is the prohibition of prostitution. In my country, pornography can be found for free on internet but prostitution has recently been completely banned.

That puts a young man who watches pornography but has, for one reason or an other, absolutely no idea how to get laid, in a very difficult position. I can totally understand how that would make him angry.

Do you think you’ll catch wrongthink by even accidentally interacting with people that have different political views than your own?

I don’t have a dog in this fight but this just struck me as such small-minded thing to say…

No Fap is self-evidently apolitical. Though it’s true it is “pseudoscientific,” but really that should be obvious—it was started around a meme.

There’s also Porn Free[1] which evolved independently alongside the website Your Brain On Porn[2], that is very much evidence-based.

It depends on what you treat as a complete action. One could equally well decompose it as two actions and two conditionals:

if (volcano_status == GONNA_BLOW)
refuel_car();
else if (volcano_status == NO_WORRIES)
refuel_car();
else if (volcano_status == UNKNONW)
nop();

then later

if (volcano_status == GONNA_BLOW)
pack_everything_and_run();
else if (volcano_status == NO_WORRIES)
pack_suitcase_and_leave_for_holiday();
else if (volcano_status == UNKNONW)
call_to_cancel_holiday();

Then refueling the car is definitely the same action, even if it's followed by different actions later on.

I'm beginning to wonder if sex-related information has some affect of the 'universal acid' that dissolves too many of the fantasies we need to sustain ourselves. This seems to me one reasons society, as a whole, tends to hate sex workers so much: there's something about it that nakedly reveals the capitalist-market transactions we are all submerged in and can't escape from, and it reveals it in such way our only recourse is the instinctual reflexes of 'kill it with fire' and 'nuke it from orbit'. In regards to porn, or the discussions we have around porn, it often times seems as if we are on the verge of having to, or being forced to, articulate that not only can most people not tell the difference between reality and fantasy (how many people refer to an actor by a character's name, rather than at least, as 'the actor who played X'?). Instead, we come close to being forced to admit that not only is there no reality-fantasy divide, but that everything is fantasy, that everything is models in our heads, even our heads.

At what point will miners just start building there own power plants? And I wonder if environmental concerns will start forcing good and/or bad regulations of crypto mining.
You're still the controller b/c you control the website they landed on.

But the regulations don't say anything about websites. Being a controller is about whether you determine the purposes and means of processing (even if someone else is then doing that processing). Merely embedding third party content on your site doesn't even give you knowledge of that processing, never mind any control over it.

Now, if you have a formal agreement with some other service that they will process personal data for some purpose and you will embed something in your page that gives them access to that data, obviously in that situation you're acting as controller. But huge amounts of the embedding that happens in the real world don't have those formal arrangements, and if you say no-one can ever embed anything any more without formal legal agreements to protect themselves, you break a large part of the modern web both technically and culturally. I don't think that was the intent of the new regulations, nor do I think it is a reasonable thing to do.

When it comes to efficiency there is a certain observed paradox to consider:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox

The original observation involved the increased efficiency of extracting coal, and the subsequent boom in its use thanks to the drop in price, but can be generalized.

Basic thing was that as the price of coal dropped, because more of it was extracted than before, uses that previous was considered unprofitable were put into practice.
Although PII is dealt with in GDPR, GDPR doesn't only cover PII, and it makes numerous references to the obligation on anybody who processes personal data (not just PII) with respect to security. For example "Personal data should be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security and confidentiality of the personal data, including for preventing unauthorised access to or use of personal data and the equipment used for the processing."
Ah gotcha. That makes sense.

I've read somewhere (but can't find now) that boys / men and girls / women reaction to porn is different in that for males, porn is a satisfactory substitute for sex, while it isn't for females.

Slightly off-topic (but if we're looking back to the Roman Empire, I think on-topic lense might have trouble focusing. haha), this link reminds me of an interesting MOOC, Critical Perspectives on Management [1] on Coursera. And the first week starts with _The Lessons from Rome_:

"In Ancient Rome, merchant organisations very similar to modern firms were critical to capitalising key markets and to solving serious logistical problems to enable a vibrant trading network across the Mediterranean, including, critically, supplying the city of Rome itself with the food its citizens needed to survive. We will examine the Roman grain market and the organisations that operated within that market to ask: what, exactly, is a firm? What led to the firm's evolution? And what is the issue of agency that a firm inevitably entails?" (from the syllabus)

Mathematicians play around with new notation all the time. But yes, mostly hand-written.

The standard notation is mostly for communicating with other people mediated via papers. But we don't actually use that many brackets in math---that's more of a programming thing. (Because programmers can't really use visual structure all that much, and mostly rely on linearization of their syntax trees. Languages with significant whitespace like Haskell (and to a lesser extent Python) see less parens and braces.)

Even if we accept the questionable assertion that no study of any aspect of the mind so far has been objective, you have provided no argument that it cannot be so in principle.

I notice that the link you provide on 'hard' vs. 'soft' sciences contains passages that cast doubt on whether the distinction is significant. Biology is classified as less objective than physics, yet biology explains many things very well, and, in fact, actually better than a reduction to the underlying physics would (evolution, for example, or genetics.) By your original argument, however, human biology could not be an objective science.

Ask HN: How to actively find leads organically?
One of my friends has a small company (or agency?) specializing in web development & design, mobile apps development. The company has also developed SaaS-type software etc. He asked to find leads for him but he doesn't want to spend money on ads (and I being a PPC/SEM Consultant have devoted recent part of my work on paid traffic only). SEO-wise his website is okay but he is looking for clients from all over the world. He had international clients before, but a very minuscule number of them as compared to a lot of local clients.

How do I find leads for him? One idea I'm thinking is to participate in niche forums, engage in discussion and if someone is looking to outsource web dev, then I would offer my services (Is it ethical?). The other idea is to look for small or medium-size businesses who don't have a website or need a website redesign, contact them and offer my services.

But where to find such list of businesses with no website or poor websites. I have some idea about the local market but for other countries, I have no idea.

I have looked at freelance job boards and remote jobs websites, but most of the time they are looking for individual developers, not us.

If you’re trying to legitimize something that isn’t rooted in modern science, I’d advise against the use of “allopathic” as the adjective of choice when speaking of modern, science-based medical study.

The term was coined by a homeopathic doctor with he perceived intent of siloing modern scientific medication and medical study rather than attributing the legitimacy it’s earned due to the accepted rigours of the scientific process.

Not that homeopathic or Ayurvedic is not necessarily effective, but unless it’s submitted to the rigours of scientific study, it’s not science. Therefore if it passes itself off as science, it is a pseudoscience. In that case it doesn’t matter how many names anyone knows.

That is also a little harsh, but I agree. Most likely they did not have the means to collect data on it rather than the means at which they do so today.

> There’s also been a shift due to online and apps that give women an unlimited choice of men while giving the majority of men nearly no choice

How can that be? Why would it be empowering for one gender but not the other? What would the underlying reason be to explain that kind of social phenomenon?

> I see my male friends really struggle and I see my female friends have unlimited options.

I can counter your anecdata with my own...many of the women I know are having great difficulty finding men online because, in their experience, they're very picky. Speaking as a man, I would say I've also become more picky over time, not less. Here we're trading localized experience, but I think that there should be an accountable cause that would explain only men being adversely impacted.

I don't see an obvious reason why online dating would make things harder for men but not harder for women and vice versa. I think the broader trend in online dating is that it's harder for unattractive people to find partners, regardless of sexual identity or preference; conversely it seems to be getting progressively easier for attractive people to find partners. People are presented with significantly more options, which makes me hypothesize that they're willing to say no to many people they would otherwise settle for. I don't think that's particularly harder on men than it is on women.
It's hard to imagine how. I think more likely g<r but it will also stagnate, leading to instability of the entire system. I suppose r<g could be the case if economic growth is no longer driven by capital investment, perhaps because it is too costly to figure out where to allocate capital to get returns. But such a situation is so different from the past that you ought not call it capitalism anymore.

I don't think capitalism is at it's structural limit quite yet. The world is still yet big enough that there are markets to develop and capture.
Sorry, but it's not that simple. A lot of the fuss about the GDPR is because it introduces significant uncertainty combined with the potential for severe penalties if your interpretation differs from the regulators. It is not unreasonable to look for concrete, actionable guidance to reduce that uncertainty.

The modern web depends on embedding third party content for many reasons, most of which have nothing to do with invading anyone's privacy and many of which are directly in the visitor's interests. It is not helpful to undermine that whole ecosystem and expect everyone to start having formal contracts in place before they can take advantage of any of those services. Nor is it reasonable to expect services offered for free that aren't doing anything shady to take on significant liability and/or other commitments anyway through formal agreements with their users. Why would they do that, instead of just (as obviously quite a few places already have) geoblocking the EU to remove themselves from the scope of the onerous rules?

Maybe he just bought up the competing free content sites for $362 million. Maybe the production companies made billions in the past when the industry was more profitable, who knows what they make now.
