Right. Personal dating preferences are sarosanct. There's been a tremendous effort over the past 50 years to replace freedom of association with egalitarian social engineering, and it's at dating where society has drawn a firm line and said "This far! No further!".

While there are activists out there attempting to use the standard social shaming toolkit to influence dating, their tactics won't work. Reproduction is too deep-seated a drive to tamper with that way. And fortunately, defeat here will blunt the entire array of tools.

It's as if an entire generation is hearing this internal monologue: "You mean that if I want you to consider me a 'woke' and good person, I need to have sex with this person I don't consider attractive? To hell with you and your morality then."
It’s practically impossible to guarantee the alignment unless the bonus is a flat out share of the profits or paid after an employee has performed in an extraordinary fashion without any pre-written bonus agreement. But any kind of variable payment agreement might be in perfect alignment with the companies goals at its inception by runs a substantial risk of loosing the alignment over time. Company goals change over time.

It’s totally ok if you feel like a bonus should be paid to an employee for achieving something special, but if your employees do not go beyond the bare minimum that keeps them their job, you’re in a kind of trouble that a bonus payment cannot fix.
That’s pretty cool, but c’mon - you can’t put a video on your homepage about a ‘secret’ feature. It’s a feature, period - it’s not hidden, heck it’s not even non-obvious in the app. It’s just a feature.

Is this some kind of new clickbait marketing?

I found and lost a similar story. There were no mentions of human characters, only programs that were evolving in their own digital space. It was a standard HTML page amongst a collection of other works, not a book.

C++ Solution for Hackerrank Encryption Challenge – Hazem Saleh – Medium
I think porn, like opiates and other drugs, are hard to do "just in moderation". There is a powerful dopamine effect that pushes one to consume more and more. But even simply addressing the term moderate, what does that even mean? How much? What is the unintended consequence of getting sexual satisfaction from porn vs real life long term relationship?

I would venture that unlimited availability of high quality sexual stimulation leads many to delay pursuing (with all the associated pain and challenge) real relationship. Especially for those who it is more difficult to find a mate.

Read up on countless discussions about how abstaining from getting sexual gratification from porn leads one to become more motivated to go out on dates, look for a partner, be more confident in approaching women etc etc.

Also, if you look into the "no fap" discussions, many report feeling a strong drive to be more productive in other areas of their life. See a powerful drive to go to the gym and workout, have a healthier lifestyle, easier ability to focus for long periods of time on intense work etc.

I think the people here dismissing the point of view that porn can be very harmful to so many are simply selfish, they are defending their own habits, and they are not considering the full context of what "no fap" and abstaining from porn completely can have an immensely beneficial effect on many people.

This also reminds me how much of a man Bezos was when he got a huge tax bill from Texas for failing to collect sales tax for 15 years...

He downsized his business, put projects and investments on hold and budgeted for paying off his debt. Oh wait, no, he didn't do any of that. I guess he's whatever the opposite of a man is considered to be.

they seem to open new ground in the area you are prusuing

anyhow, it seems like the hand written assembly vs compiled code goes in to a new skirmish

the age where the whole spectrum from generalcpu > asic becomes available to programmers all around

bottle necks of parallelism, locality and redundancy
seems to be the guiding lights

hand written we'll be probably lead by the magnificent
http://www.greenarraychips.com/home/documents/pub/AP001-MD5....
compiler generated by halide and the like

and once we got the ball rolling and more public knowledge is available probably the locked down techniques of the major supercomputers will start to emerge ( i just assume pps from the supercomputers area have been dealing with this stuff for the last couple of decades )

can i spit some more, dear hacker news?
focus, you gotta focus, forget about the compiler generating good code, it's all about the ability for us humans to explore the domain

even in halide, they mention the point that you still need to sit down and code different approaches, but their tool makes it a breeze compared to exploring those different approaches using hand written assembly
Well, normally you bind functions to types like:

func (m myType) calcRandom() int {
return m.nine
}

But there are some situations when it would be useful to be able also bind functions to interfaces (e.g. some of them are similar to use-cases for abstract classes in OOP):

func (i myInterface) calcRandom() int {
return i.Nine()
}

While I would consider it a clean language design to be able to do that too, it brings some additional complexity and as we know Golang doesn't like complexity.

As I said, I am not completely sure of the consequences such a change would bring with it and if it would enable bad practices. So I would not push too hard for that one, but some of the other issues I mentioned are issues of which I am pretty sure that they should be fixed.
I had the same thought. I’m not sure how to represent that on a map, but I think it could use something more than just a vast white space.

How did that ground based system solve the horizon problem ? Drones don't fly very high, so you'd need one of these systems, say at 50 meters drone height, ~ every 50km.

That's probably worse than those drones watching from above, seeing as you'd need actual infrastructure at every interval. And, that'd be fixed infrastructure, with fixed blind spots.
It seems plausible to me that the new problem (men without partners) is in part due to weakened social as well as legal norms around marriage, but via divorce rather than polygamy. In my opinion that doesn't mean we should go back to the old ways, but it's worth being aware of the connection.
I found only German Wikipedia page and had to translate to English. It says the same Fabian from the article owns this company, didn't expect that! It seems the users are actors and not regular people. The page even uses 'so called amateurs' to describe the users.

As the other comment under this said, it does in that UBI is taken as being the solution to the social issues largely stemming from technological change. But the problems are much broader than just automation and economics, and an economic solution isn’t going to help with the destabilization of families and offline communities which has really begun to accelerate along with globalization and the internet. In many ways even our politics has been poisoned by some of the negative aspects of this, and we haven’t made a meaningful adjustment in any area of this IMO.

The law doesn't care how a browser works. The law doesn't care that it's the browser making the HTTP request. The law doesn't care if the JS library is delivered by pixies travelling through the ether on rainbows. You put the embed in that page, so you're responsible for what happens next. You acted (intentionally or negligently) to cause the user's browser to make a HTTP request to a third party, which might cause their personal data to be unlawfully processed.

You're not absolutely and totally responsible for anything that might possibly happen under any circumstances, but you're required to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure and to be able to demonstrate that processing is performed in accordance with this Regulation (Art. 24).

I'm inclined to think that the answer is "no", but it's also interesting to me that getrandom hasn't become more popular yet.

Interestingly, for the purposes of generating randomness in Python, as of PEP 524, os.urandom() no longer uses urandom, but instead uses getrandom.

I helped a lizard cross the road today. I'm not joking, the other day it was a disoriented/exhausted bee on the road, I got it to a safe and wet place so it could hydrate and recover. When I go cycling, I see so many animals dead on the road, ranging from bees, butterflies to porcupines, birds, snakes, wild boars.

There are other kind of animals, which are completely useless, artificial, and won't suffer from any decline, those are the 1+ billion of pets, and they have an impact direct or indirect on environment as well.

The life of a lizard, a bee matters 1 billion times at least more than the one of a pet

>There are many industries that are very competitive and full of small companies and have regulations, but what most commonly happens in those cases is that the regulations are rarely enforced which nobody much minds because the competition is preventing abusive practices regardless.

Again I don't think this is true at all. Some counter examples: restaurants, electricians, general contractors, engineering firms, beauty salons, and tanning salons.

>None of those things happen at scale. When a doctor makes a mistake, it affects one patient. A single security vulnerability can affect millions of people.

A single bridge failure can affect an entire city, and a large building collapse could cost billions in payouts--yet engineering and construction firms can and do buy insurance to cover these things.

Magnitude isn't a problem here, even insurance companies buy insurance from larger insurance companies.

>It's also a poor thing to try to insure because the main risk factor is code quality but insurance companies are generally not equipped to evaluate that.

Insurance companies are able to evaluate risk factors for every industry--they are better able to evaluate risk than anyone else, and it's not like they wouldn't hire domain experts.

There's nothing special about software in this regard--it's a complex system, but the insurance industry regularly insurances against damage resulting from far more complex systems than software--weather for instance.

I'm not sure if requiring router manufacturers to buy insurance would lead to a net benefit or not, but the problems you're creating have already been solved by other industries. There's nothing magic about software that makes it impossible to insure.

I agree with you that deliveries to offshore oil and specific functions will be very practical.

However, not so sure I agree that economics will prevent 'fresh grocery' delivery. It will be different vehicles for sure, but the operating costs of a small electric vehicle with 5-10lb payload can be very low (cents/hour). I doubt there's going to be direct farm-to-house deliveries, but instead something that can augment the current transportation infrastructure. Imagine a national grocery chain adopts small electric drones for last-mile delivery. They leverage existing shipping network in place to keep stores stocked, and just send drone deliveries from store-to-house. Actual flight cost for one round-trip store-to-house is going to be pennies.
It is important to be clear with our terms and definitions. Certainly we all can agree that we would need to know what a "moderate" amount of porn is right?

Also, the main problem here, and it is a problem with other highly addictive behaviors like drug use, is that simply sticking with a so called "moderate" amount is nearly impossible. It is the whole point of things being addicting, becoming habituated to them, seeing diminishing satisfaction to previous amounts etc etc (for some people at least.. and I would guess this number is quite large).

Watch the video I linked above and see if it resonates with your own experience. Many long term porn users find themselves seeking out more extreme content over time, as well as an increasing quantity of porn viewed over time.

And what about the opportunity cost? What choices and behaviors are given up in the process of receiving sexual satisfaction from porn? Many data sources show a delay in marriage and declining quantity of sexual relationships or volume of sex for young people. Would anyone argue that this might also come with psychological costs in the long term?

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

Acknowledging the existence of a problem affecting men?

> ... then that is their problem, as individuals ...

I agree, but the society needs to acknowledge that it actually IS a genuine problem for these men. We can then encourage the development and adoption of technological solutions, such as sexual VR and sexbots. It might not be the ideal solution for these men, but at least it's a solution (and it puts no responsibility on women to do anything).
I thought that's what I said - NZ being strong-armed by the US.
My dad's been running a chemist shop for 45 years. He also sells ayurvedic medicines. And he'd been associated with right-wing outfits in the past.

It is not like Patanjali medicines are better than other. Some of them are (for example I personally use their toothpaste). It is more about cult system and current socio-political environment in India.

These days, in India, 'hindu nationalism' along with 'anti-Congress' movement is on the rise. And Ramdev has projected himself as an ultimate ambassador of everything Hinduism or Hindu-Nationalism has to offer (Yoga, Ayurvedic medicines, Made in India products, true ascetic life, spirituality etc etc).

The right-wing central government and rise of Ramdev are not two separate phenomena. They are closely entwined. And they both support each other. As things stand now, no political party can dare to touch Ramdev. He has too much clout because of his countless followers. Even his traditional political opponents don't want to mess with him.

His business is probably far bigger than described in many news articles. We don't have financial numbers. His tax filings have been shady and noone can question him. He's bought may be thousands of acres of lands from government at 75-80% discount so that he can 'promote yoga and ayurveda'. I also read somewhere he actually bought an island somewhere in Europe though not sure about it.

Even a small town with population less than 15000 has at least half dozen shops which sells only Patanjali products. No other FMCG company has this much clout.

This is all about cult following and current rise of hindu nationalism in india. Better ayurvedic medicines and Yoga teachers have always been around. But Ramdev was there at the right time (widespread use of SM, anti-Congress sentiments), did all the right things, projected himself as an ultimate 'patriotic and honest hindu yoga guru' effectively.

Now he is selling noodles, chocolates and cosmetic products in the name of patriotism and spirituality.

Here are the first 3 paragraphs of the section on Duct-tapers from Chapter 2.

This was striking for me because I immediately thought that all the stuff I've authored for salt, ansible, grunt, etc. is duct tape. And I hated doing that work. I always did.

It's necessary and necessarily complex but a lot of the complexity is because fitting all this stuff together is going to be a mess no matter what. We can argue about better and worse approaches to managing the complexities (micro-services, whatever) but it's still complex and I resent that.

There was one motivational type article about how you should “go first” or “be first” when approaching problems in life. Like when making friends or just socially in general. I was looking for it again recently but couldn’t find it.
