It's not about targeting people because they voted for Trump. It's about targeting a small, export-focused segment of the economy that has outsized political power. Agricultural sectors of the economy tend to fit this billet in pretty much every country, which is why agricultural tariffs are the thorniest parts of trade agreements.
My sense is that incels are red pilled and nu males aren't. So they might be similar in that they both fail to live up to a certain image of masculinity, but incels view that as a problem (or, at least, a hindrance) whereas nu males don't.

Yup. I’m 33 and stopped using Facebook a year ago. YouTube is what I’m all about. I use it to listen to ML lectures mostly, and I share videos of my robots. Facebook seems like it’s for old people now or something, and I’m disgusted with how creepy that site became.
I like how you casually discard the vast majority of the comment. I addressed more or less every country in the world at some point in the comment.

It is not an accomplishment for the US to be doing better than a bunch of third world countries that are poor as shit because they were on the losing end of colonialism. It needs to be compared to the other comparably developed countries.
That's cool you tried it. I've done prolonged fast travel before, which is overrated. But staying in one spot for 1-3 months is something I think could be underrated and I want to try.

One trick I use sometimes is to imagine that I'm abroad even though I'm in my normal city. It makes things more interesting and gives me more energy for interactions.

The short and ethnic thing I could understand being frustrating. I'm basically 6' and white and pretty good looking. But even so, it's not the end all. It just opens the door. I don't get with the "cool" types of girls because I don't follow pop culture and play those games. Those types of girls you don't even want. It's tough though. Best way to meet girls is meetup-type stuff like a local running group, local language meetup, etc. Actually care about the activity and befriend the guys, etc. Then the benefits with girls come in a few months (take it slow and don't be the creepy/loser guy just there for girls). ex. I started going to the language meetup, and going hard in the languages and being kind of silly and fun. Now 2 years in, all the regulars know me and I have cred there. If I ever take a girl there, she knows I'm cool. Or new girls there know that I'm cool from the social proof.

If I didn't have a great family that I want to see monthly, I would definitely consider the moving overseas thing.

Basically you just focus on YOUR PATH and believe in what you spend YOUR TIME on. I think people get magnetized towards people with a "purpose" who can spread life energy instead of trying to take energy(this girl should give me love, this guy should give me respect or validation, etc).

This doesn’t even make sense. Not surprising this failed and I don’t feel sorry for idiots that invested in a project that makes no sense. Bad projects must fail.

Imho this is a way underrated aspect of Facebook.
I've noticed that a whole lot of small business use Facebook to have a low-barrier, free, and easily updateable internet presence.

In particular, small restaurants, bars, cafes and similar ventures which have daily changing menus. Many of these use pretty much only Facebook to publish this information due to the ease of the process: Snap a picture of the daily menu card/display and post it, done. Literally, your grandma can do it!

When looking for reliable opening times on a place, that doesn't have its own internet presence, Facebook usually has way more up to date/short notices information, compared to opening time information on Google.

It's an interesting aspect about FB that even FB itself seems kind of unaware about.
Wow, and I thought the ‘nightmare’ stories of taking several hours to get code signing working in XCode were bad. This is ridiculous!
They also don't assess creativity or problem solving which I consider rather essential to software engineering. Based on my limited knowledge of TripleByte tests I would expect that only drones make it through their screens.
That doesn't make it a political issue though, because there isn't really any serious debate about it. Just because more racists support Republicans doesn't make it a political issue unless racism is something a significant amount of Republicans are supportive of.

> The biggest value gain from Reddit, to me, is the ability to centralize effectively around different hobbies and activities.

Not only that, but I use subreddits to organise my research. I collect links to papers and articles as top comments in threads (along with BibTeX information for easy copying), and if it's a book I just list down passages. I then put my notes and thoughts as comments under each.

I know Zotero, wikis and (One|Ever)note are things nowadays, but honestly it gets tiring to have to keep switching contexts every so often.

Why should you pay federal taxes on state taxes? Consider that it's long been a complaint that it's "double taxation" to pay individual taxes on dividends which already got taxed at the corporate level. Imagine if, on top of that, you got taxed on the quantity that was paid in corporate taxes, that you didn't even receive. I imagine quite a lot of outrage if liberals proposed that, because it goes even beyond what is already an intuitively unfair situation to a lot of people.
In this context, the "real insta" account is the curated one to build a personal brand; only highly-filtered/vetted content gets posted there. Due to all the time put into curating it, the account is intended to persist forever.

The posts to the "fake insta" has less of a filter, and the account will be dropped/rotated as soon as it gets too much baggage or some content goes negatively viral. Someone bothering the user on their "fake insta"? But the user can't/won't block them for social/cultural reasons? Just stop using that account and create a brand new one, and then only tell your close friends about the new one. Everyone else is still following the old "fake" one which you no longer use hence its fake-ness.
There are three ways of slicing the problem: the technical capability of loading whatever apps you want, the legal ability to do so, and the ecosystem / game theoretical (is it a reasonable way of doing things - e.g. living without gapps is possible but very hard in practice).

Back when Stallman outlined the distinction between proprietary vs open, he meant all of the above in spirit, but never really addressed the hosting and server-side side of things. I think it's currently still a weak spot in his philosophy. Open-source software doesn't truly solve the server-side if your phone has a hardcoded "ax.itunes.apple.com" - in theory, you could modify & recompile & host your own, but it wouldn't be a first-class-citizen thing. Also, consider e.g. if Apple's stack was open but highly customized - you needed a team of engineers and a swath of servers to simply get a clone up and running. Again, not impossible, but I don't think open-source is only a part of the solution.
Isn’t this a requirement of the GPL license? Or am I mistaken?
Red Pill comes from a famous late 90’s Sci Fi movie called The Matrix. The main characters world is not exactly what it appears to be at first and he is offered a choice of the red pill which would show him the truth or the blue pill that would keep him living the lie.

It has since been picked up by many communities as a way of saying they are ‘woke’ to the truth. It is currently in widespread use amongst the community of the subreddit The Donald by people claiming to have woken up from the liberal agenda or something along those lines.

In this context it probably refers to an infamous subreddit called the_red_pill that was a cess pool of pick up artists essentially training each other on how to hurt abuse and/or use women. It was banned sometime ago, during the Ellen Pao era I think. I believe they used it in the context of being woken up from the ‘lies’ of treating women as normal human beings if you want to find a lover.

Never hear of Nu Male, sounds like 4chan to me.
I just flew from UK to USA and the UK security (Heathrow) made my 5-year-old daughter go through the body scanner!!

Ie, the first metal detector arch beeped for her (I think it was a hair clip she had on) and they said she had no choice but to go through the body scanner.

I was not comfortable with that at all, but they lied and told me I had no choice. Immediately afterwards I looked it up online and saw that you can opt-out with a pat down.

I was pretty pissed they didn’t let me know this option, told me I had no choice. I think they were being lazy and didn’t want to deal with extra work. I submitted a formal complaint to Heathrow within an hour and they didn’t admit wrongdoing. They said there’s always an option to pay down. But refused to acknowledge their own security people didn’t present me with that option.

Anyway, just my rant from what happened a few days ago, somewhat on topic to this. (It’s the UK version of the TFA).
But again, if moderated app stores are good enough for the average user, why are they going through Amazon's tutorial to begin with? Why isn't Amazon on the official channel?

It feels circular to me: "Most users are better served by a gatekeeper" -> "Because if users had a choice to go outside the system they would" -> "Therefore the gatekeeper must be mandatory" -> "Because most users are better served by a gatekeeper".

At what point do we have to step back and say, "maybe users just don't want gatekeepers?" Especially bearing in mind that, again, anyone who actually did want a gatekeeper could still use one and be fully protected.

We're assuming that every casual user who sideloads an app on Android is doing it because they're uneducated. What if they're not? What if they just feel like it's an acceptable risk?

What if the reason we can't trust the average user to stay in a moderated system is that moderated systems are not scalable, adaptable, or reliable enough to meet the needs of even an average user?
The new iMessages in the Cloud claims to be 'end to end encrypted', which is true, but omit the fact that a copy of the key is stored with Apple in your iCloud backup...

"Messages in iCloud also uses end-to-end encryption. If you have iCloud Backup turned on, a copy of the key protecting your Messages is included in your backup"

Given that almost everyone has iCloud backup enabled, messages are certainly retrievable with a simple court order.

Yes. From a certain point of view: Tesla have been blatantly illegally stealing code for years and are only now finally beginning to properly secure a license for some of it.
> Part of me thinks that at the core, it's ALL an act of mind games to convince another person why you're worth their time (or conversely showing them why you're worth theirs) and there's going to be some level of duplicity involved.

I tried that for the longest time and it was exhausting and unfruitful. When I relented and simply focused on meeting as many women as I could - and having the patience for a natural attraction to occur - it made a big difference. It sounds a bit Zen but when I stopped trying to "score" it seemed much easier to meet plenty of interesting women.
I'm guessing it's more this. I can't imagine the Steam app demands that high performance.

> but it seemed the IBM PC was pretty clearly going to be a big deal, and a lot of computer makers would clone aspects of the PC just for that fact

At the time, I don't think it was clear that the IBM PC was going to be a big deal. The PC was not IBM's first foray into personal computing, and its previous offerings in this area (such as the 5120 and the Datamaster) were not particularly successful. The PC was much more successful because IBM learned from its mistakes – it used mainstream/commodity parts in preference to IBM-proprietary ones, which saved it money, and then used that to enable a lower (and more competitive) price point. But, were people expecting that from IBM? Probably not, it was a deviation from IBM's previous behaviour, it was a surprise.

Now, as 1982 and 1983 rolled on, it became increasingly clear that the IBM PC was a success. But by then, Macintosh development was already well advanced, and they'd already locked in to incompatible designs. Trying to go back and redesign for increased IBM PC compatibility would have just delayed them even further, and a further delayed Macintosh might not have been as successful. Plus, increased IBM PC compatibility might have meant things like 5.25 inch disks, which would have been less user-friendly. (PCs didn't get 3.5 inch disks until later.)
While I can certainly appreciate the response there, it isn't quite what I'm asking:

is there a difference between enjoying the art of playful flirting/courting and PUA?

Not asking if it's merely possible to court/flirt without being toxic (because of course there is, absolutely, I agree). I pose the question the way I have because I have yet to be wholly convinced that PUA is inherently toxic, and we aren't allowing the manifestation of bad actors to paint a view of enjoying the transactional nature of flirting to the point of finding ways to make it more engaging than simply engaging in small-talk/banter/exchanging statements back and forth at each other about life, the universe and etcetera-and subsequently-wanting to find ways of improving how you go about courting relationships.

tl;dr - "hate the player, not the game", etc.
> Paying thousands of dollars per year just so that users can run your free software is ludicrous.

While I agree that requiring code signing certificates to run free software sucks, I'm curious where the thousands of dollars a year comes from? I finally broke down and purchased a code signing certificate[0] last year. The prices varied, but I don't recall seeing any for more than $300, and I was able to get my for $100 which is valid through Windows 10 and works on everything else that uses one of these EV certs. In addition to that, I purchased a Yubikey, which I wanted anyway (and having a desire to protect my code-signing key was the excuse I was looking for to purchase one of those), bringing the total cost for the first year to $140 (and subsequent years at $100). There is certainly a time cost, and it's really fun explaining that "no, I do not have a land-line phone" and "no, I don't get bills from my mobile phone company, but I can print out what qualifies as a bill from my Project Fi page[1]" all while trying to understand the accent of the non-native-English speaker I was working with.

[0] Not purely for signing open-source software, but I use it 99% of the time for signing Open Source software ... and miserable PowerShell scripts so that I don't have to remember to override the default security policy.

[1] The number of eye-rolls around the security theater involved in all of this was comical. They asked for photocopies of 6 or 7 different documents, all of which would have been trivial to forge with any information I wanted if I were so inclined. The only real verification around these documents is the notary requirement -- which, at least where I live, notaries are punished harshly if they don't follow the rules.
Yep, the cartel model is probably good for understanding things like SB 827. Of course the straightforward interpretation is also correct: the bill was an argument about what powers different levels of government should wield.

Perhaps the cartel idea gives guidance here: power should be held at a level high enough that the electorate doesn't represent the interest of a cartel. (Since as we all know, special interests never have special access to the corridors of power at high level).
The problem is that the blog and news platforms are not great. People often complain that they miss important posts.

I suppose photo sharing is integrated in messenger (the mobile app), too?
I guess what I am trying to say is that having a walled garden operating system is a magnitude worse than a walled garden social media API. Mostly because the OS is the gatekeeper to literally everything else. Twitter is a gatekeeper to hearing the latest ramblings of a Kardashian.
You're comparing the courses you're offering to a Lamborghini? Cool, but I don't see why I should place as much value in your product. In fact, you might simply be going for a Veblen goods effect, just like the Lamborghini.

That's only one part of the problem in your essay.

The other part is that it assumes that:

1) every student in the world is in the US and

2) every student in the world is poor entirely because of university fees.

Frankly, whenever someone wants to shell out money for an online course, I caution them. There are tons of free resources out there, some legal, and some not, but all provide quality education.
Self expression is all well and good, but when participating in a discussion, we'd all be much better served if you didn't hurl offensive and ungrounded insults at large segments of the population. Curmudgeonly is one way to put it; immature and ignorant is another.
What will actually happen is the power producers buying what are, effectively, space heaters. You can never rely on negative power prices sticking around.

The ICO didn't mention anything about doing an end-run around IAPs, and even so, such functionality isn't integrated in the app.

How can Apple justify penalising something not in an app? Why is the Kindle app still up, despite the fact that Kindle ebooks don't go through IAP?
I get home at about 5:30. Two days a week I go to the gym, I don't study those nights because I'm too worn out once I get home.

Monday/Wednesday I start some rice and eventually make a simple stir fry. Quick, easy dinner. But that's usually around 9pm. So I have 6-9 to study. Friday is usually a social evening. Saturday, I grab a book or whatever and head to the coffee shop down the street.

Early Saturday and Sunday are cleaning and grocery shopping times.

My girlfriend is in another country so, for now at least, my evenings before 9pm are almost always mine. After 9pm we're usually on the phone.
How so? Were there politicians debating on whether it was OK to be racist? Being anti-immigration is not racism regardless of how you feel about the topic.
There is no national government that does not A) act in its own self/best interest and B) does so with the express approval of all of its citizens. The fact that you decide to blame the population of an entire nation (who are largely ignorant of global affairs as well as having no stake/vested interest in big money deals between nationstates) is indicative of your knowledge base on the subject. The game of wealth has been going on for much longer than Thirdworldism (1970s), Dependency Theory (1960s), Globalism (1940s), Socialism (~1850s), or even Capitalism (1700s).* Resource exchange and the wealth derived from it are hallmarks of pastoral societies, potentially even out dating currency exchange given the obvious value raw material plays in terms of power. What may be considered unique to the late stage Holocene is the domination of raw material exchange by Western Societies, but only in terms of its global scale. The Chinese (there are many empires that can be called this but i hope you can suss that out for yourself) knew the value of spices and precious metals even as Europeans were trying to figure out why the Saracens lived longer and better despite being "satan worshipers." Global mass transfer is what cemented the Western ascendancy on the globe. But the idea that this ascendancy was appropriated from others is a bridge too far (unless one is making an emotional or faith based argument) given the destruction the West wrought on itself, as well as the fact that every single Western Empire did substantially better economically once shorn of their colonial possessions. What is more, non colonial nations like Sweden and Switzerland are demonstrably wealthier than the original western colonialists Spain and Portugal. This, in my as well as far more notable historian's opinions, is due to culture and governance. This can be seen in the staggering achievements of the East Asian tiger economies vs. the abject shitholes of sub-Saharan Africa. The tigers were resource poor, xenophobic, and overpopulated. the -holes were resource rich, comparatively open, and underpopulated. Yet somehow, East Asia is opulently wealthy and powerful while sS Africa can barley keep the lights on. It would be foolish to claim that there were no outside influences in either case, but to blame the disparate outcomes on a single nation is not only unhelpful to solving the problem, it is deleterious. One can always make a "lead by example" argument, but that is just a transposed American Exceptionalism argument which is silly. I'd be interested in any reading you could point me to on this subject, assuming you've actually done any. My sources are all antiquated paper media, but i will give you a truncated reading list should you defy my expectations. More your speed might be the doc Empire of Dust as a point of departure. Nonetheless... "Western Guilt&Third World Poverty" Bauer,"Dont Decry Colonialism" Drake, "Decolonization" Fieldhouse, "The Middle East: Geostrategy and Oil" Khalidi and many, many more.
The growth-based economic model is flawed. Countries should be rewarded economically/politically by some sort of sustainability index where all of their positive/negative externalities are accounted for.

We do not need more people on this planet. It will only increase the likelihood of a major catastrophe like famine -> war -> nuclear war, which will then put scientific research back decades if not centuries.
That was sorta what fueled the smartphone revolution - everything useful could be done on a computer from 1995, and then a computer from 1995 could fit in your pocket. Then they kept on increasing in power, such that smartphones today are good enough (modulo screen space) to compete with PCs from c. 2013.

Now we're just waiting the newest form factor that you can shrink 1995-era processing power into. Brain implants?
