This is the answer but nobody wants to hear it. Porn is now opium for the masses.

This is not a moral or religious questions. It is simply biological.

Besides the dopamine issues, I think Ian Mc Gilchrist 's work on the 'divided brain' , gives a lot of supporting evidence that materials such as porn are by their nature the domain of the left brain hemisphere. That is ME making connections here. Pronography is created by this attention to the world that sees things in parts ("boobs", "ass") -- which is what left hemisphere does. The right hemusphere sees things in broad / inclusive attention (eg. a man or a woman; not a collection of arms, legs, etc).

And then look at the explosion of anxiety and social awkwardness, difficulty to hold eye contact, depression etc. Then look at how aggressive and abusive people become online, as well as the lack of restraint that people now show in chatrooms particularly on Twitch. People will just flat out call a young woman streaming a "whore", or "bitch"; etc.

You can argue these are unhappy people / mentally ill etc. I think the bigger picture is clear from McGilchrist's model of the brain. I think we see it happening everywhere in society. The loss of attention, the extremely reactive social interactions online, the almost religious belief we have in simple words like gender pronouns, ... to me those are all signs of a culture which is losing balance.. and more and more heavily shifting into the left hemisphere's attention (ie. see the world in collection of parts and pieces instead of as wholes). Also you have seemingly more innocent things like extremely geek conventions, explosion of fetishes online..

While we're there. Fetishes. Does anyone seriosuly believe these exist "naturally"? Fetishes are created by the mind. And what do they all have in common? We're seeing the left brain hemisphere at work again. They are always about objects. Things. Parts. Like feet, boobs, ass, and what have you (those are the mildest ones!).

Anyway I could go on and on.

I think the left/right brain hemisphere model, corresponding mainly to two modes of attention, is very very consistent, both with meditation, practices such as yoga, the rise of mental illness especially in the western world, the rise of geek culture, the rise of isolation, etc.

The big question of course is the chicken and egg situation. Which is the cause? Does porn dissociate people? Or do dissociated people come up with porn? As we see with the body, it's both. But I think we're in a spiral here, unless we care for our sanity.

The thing is, it's a complex situation. If porn disappeared off the internet we wouldn't see immediate or obvious changes. Though I would bet we would see some meaningful improvements to how men and women relate. I think the signs are out there.

Trump is actively setting trade/economic policy considering 18-19th century history (economic history more specifically).

Remember the Opium Wars and the families it made rich (most famous, Coolidge (descendants of Thomas Jefferson), Roosevelts (through the Delano family), Forbes (John Kerry's family), etc.. in the US). On the otherside of the pond, in 1890 (peak opium crisis), 30% of Britain's GDP was illegal opium smuggling to China.

I would be very sceptical of data analysis papers with Penrose's name on them.

Penrose & Gurzadyan committed this travesty:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1011.3706

...and the entire CMB analysis community quickly rushed to point out the numerous basic errors done in the statistical analysis.

E.g. http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2041-8205/733/2/L2...

Gurzadyan & Penrose wrote the kind of paper that should never have passed basic peer review. And even when "everyone" pointed out Gurzadyan does not have a clue about data analysis they still stuck to it.

I have no idea about this paper and if Penrose has found a better data analyst to collaborate with this time. Just be aware that while Penrose may be brilliant about the things he knows something about, his name on a data analysis paper is not any guarantee about the data analysis being sound.

Edit: Another less polite and clearer exposition of Gurzadyan's "methods" https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2012/02/aa17344-...

It's difficult to debate because there is little evidence (we're talking about the future). But people value privacy a lot. People like to have time where they are safe and vulnerable. And you still control your own home. At worse, GAFAM might spy on you, but only to feed data to a machine learning algorithm.

I think privacy will still exist, but maybe it will come at a premium outside of homes.

> If you've ever developed a non-trivial application using Sinatra, Express or any other "micro" or "non-opinionated" framework, you'll have hit this wall quickly.

I have developed very nontrivial applications with Modern, which can be thought of as Sinatra-like, without regretting the choice or without implementing a bunch of Rails things. The web application is an immutable spec and defined as such; state is offloaded to dependent services pushed into your HTTP action handlers. Done. But, then, in 2018 (or 2016 when I started its predecessor), "an application" no longer required bashing into it ERB templates or the like, so I'll grant that it's a little easier.

These are all from slideshow [1] which has a lot more pictures both of the headquarters building and the dome. (After about the fifth picture of the dome I was starting to get bored. It's worth it to persevere, though, since there are a lot of nice shots of the interior of the headquarters building later in the sequence.)

> Today, nudists complain, it is more difficult to separate nakedness from sex

Cf my other comment. THis is the left brain hemisphere at work. As people become more and more shifted into this mode of attention.. they lose sight of the whole. A women is a collection of parts. Head, arms, legs, breats etc. More worryingly of course, we see each other as things, and less as people. This is what the left brain hemisphere does, it gives an attention to the world that helps us navigate the world. It creates classes / categories like "tree", or "house", which are never the actuality which is domain of the right brain hemisphere (which deals with any actual instance in experience).

And I think pornography, plus the obsession with social feeds, I mean let's be honest Instagram is pretty much porn. I had to cut out the app from my iPad because you'd tap one image than another and next thing you know you're looking at some seriously suggestive / sexualized content.

This is a time where our sanity is truly in our hands. By the looks of it, not a whole lot of people care for sanity. But then again it has to do with age too. I can't see how I would have seen the bigger picture ten or twenty years ago. I'm just 44 now. I had to suffer a LOT , and observe myself a lot to see what's going on.

Honestly, I can't see your point. The article merely highlights role of women in code breaking which wasn't known in the past. They don't say women were better than men. I don't see anything in the article as men vs women.

> barely have to walk anymore

It's not so much that as that you CAN'T walk around in most cities. The last place I lived Walmart was several miles down the road which had no sidewalks and was trenches for water 3 inches from the road. No bike lanes, no nothing. It isn't that most of America is difficult to walk through, it is impossible (if you don't want to be hit by a car at least).
ElasticSearch can automatically index your documents.
Are you in a rural area? I've noticed that myself here. Granted, I left for university, which destroyed a lot of the connections I did have, but even with the ones still here, the different life experience has made it where it's odd to hang out with them.

Thankfully some of my friends did move back after going to school, so there are a few people here that I can hang out with, though I do feel like I hound them to do stuff/hang out at times. But, I also moved a half-hour away to a town where there's stuff to do, and I just have to actually take up a new hobby to meet interesting people.

Though that still doesn't change the fact that it's difficult to make long-term, deep friendships from things like that.

Really, I just say that I understand completely where you're coming from, and completely agree.

Also, I just kinda realized that this is also similar to the plot of the movie I Love You, Man, where Rudd's character realizes he doesn't have any deep male friends.

You're simply saying people want affordable technology. In that case, what is Chromebook's advantage over the competition? The market is flooded with cheap hardware, targeting those exact types of consumers.
No, the recipes were organic, they just mandated that it would be a high level of ingredients and portions for school and work cafeterias.
That only charts cities. I strongly suspect that the answer is just that there are unmatched women who lives in more rural/suburban areas.

For people between 18 and 44, the number of men very closely matches the number of women. So, ignoring polyamory, the the proportion of singles across America must be very gender-equal. Since that shows that the proportion of singles in cities in male-skewed, the proportion of singles elsewhere must be female-skewed.
You might want to also exhibit secondary pages. The front page is often not representative of the overall experience with a site, since it has different objectives and techniques (that was especially true back before the single-page era).

I generally control the organization of stuff by the way it comes in, and then have a secondary means to have media organized that comes in from a non-standard ingress.

Most information is stored in of 3 ways

1. Synced to a NextCloud instance running on a VPS.
2. Synced to a home NAS running Syncthing (though I may change this to IPFS at somepoint).
3. Added to Wallabag (A read it later like service)

Notes, List & Project based Todos

These are put into Orgmode which syncs with Owncloud. I can then use the WebDav endpoint to pull the files to add or edit on my phone.

Articles/Papers

These get added to wallabag then are accessed via an RSS reader.

Personal Documentation

Added with Camscanner, OCRed, and added to NextCloud. At some point I will probably also store these on my NAS, so I can extracted the OCRed text as a text file so I can search them, but currently the collection is to small to justify this.

Media

My NAS handles most of this, and organizes it using Emby. Syncthing is my secondary means for this, and Emby watches the directory to organize this.

eBooks

Syncthing to add to the server. A headless calibre instance then organizes it.

Pictures

Most pictures come my from my phone, nextcloud will automatically sync these. If the pictures are part of notes, then instead they go into Orgmode, which works with images as well.

There are a couple of other organizational thing that use Syncthing + Organize, but nothing of major note.

This is not A single cohesive system but several scoped systems with a standardize way to add content to organize (e.g. folders). Searching the content is generally done via plain text searches, or inside of the application that manages that context (see emby & calibri).

The website only looks at cities, not at all areas where people live. Simple solution: singles in rural/suburban areas skew female.

Sometimes companies just need people to step up. It could be a boon or a disaster but the best you can do is make the situation clear to management and just keep doing your best. Sounds kind of cheesy but honestly this could be an answer to all of those questions. Sometimes you just have to do the best you can, focus on the task at hand, and if that is not enough then que sera sera.

> So what if someone took a picture - seriously?

For myself, I could care less. I don't give a rat. For my partner, that's her choice. My child however, I have an issue with that.

I assume facial recognition will progress in the coming years, and I don't want my child's high school classmates to find a naked picture of her when she was still a toddler.

Whether I'm right or wrong on this, I cannot tell yet.

However if history repeats itself, she has a form of autism and will get bullied on school both like her father and mother. I don't want my kid to get bullied by this; my (in)action.

EDIT: Oh, and I once reported a picture hosted on Yahoo.com with a naked child on a beach. The response I got was that it was likely shot by the family as part of their children's pictures so it was "OK". That has the consequence of it being impossible to get such removed (though in the EU we do have the right to be forgotten).

That is in fact not an argument about ORMs and especially not about DSLs, that would be an argument against object oriented programming overall. Where again, let's see the examples. When you write enough tuple business logic in a non-FP language you get into a new set of problems with code organization. And you still have to marshal those tuples in and out of SQL statements in a way that makes sense vs your transactional scope and there's a lot to think about there.

The same is true in Australia. While you can wear speedos, it's something of an unwritten rule that you shouldn't do it unless you're good looking. One of Australia's (many) ex Prime Ministers was widely derided for always wearing "budgie smugglers".

Windows is still a disaster for everything but the MS-specific stack exposed through Visual Studio, including (especially?) sysadmin.

How do you install software across a fleet of dozens of Windows machines? There are solutions, but they are embarrassingly poor in comparison to what's available on other systems. Salt, Ansible, et al have added half-hearted Windows support over the years, but it's pretty shallow. SCCM is a massive can of worms and very easy to FUBAR.

MS's mental model of "update systems by performing clicks 1, 2, 3, and 4" is just fundamentally limited, as compared to the text-based *nix model. Even MS has been forced to come to terms with it, which is why they're finally adding real pty support, etc.
