>This article is about how male suicide is on the rise in the US. That is evidence.

This article is about how suicide among various groups is falling, and it mentions as a counterpoint the rise in suicides by "white, middle-aged, poorly educated men in areas that were left behind by booms and crushed by busts". Nowhere in the article is it implied that male suicide is on the rise in the US as a result of the power women have over men in society.

For that matter, you haven't proven that the increase in proportional incarcerations of males versus females is due to the power women have over men in society (vis a vis, I assume, the legal system) either, rather than men committing more crimes than women.

If you're going to challenge others to back up their assertions at least back up your own.
I don't get how they go from saying poor rural folk that struggle to survive commit suicide more often and then conclude from it that gun control is a solution to that problem. That isn't treating the source of the problem at all. Guns didn't make these people poor and desperate. I would expect any marginalized and poor group of people to have higher rates of suicide than normal regardless of their access to dangerous tools or chemicals.

A good hack to this is to wake up earlier and work on your stuff first thing in the morning, allows you to spend that first energy on your real goals, and then you can move to other stuff. It's fucking hard for me to wake early, but I really need to get back to doing this.

What I think is going on here is that such titles are subverting axioms of conversations that give language meaning normally.

It's perfectly reasonable in general to say it took you 3 years when you weren't actually working on it all that time. Like, say, if you were talking to a friend who you tell everything to.

But when it's in a title or headline, it's implicitly presumed to be the most significant thing about your story to a stranger, thus what makes it notable and interesting. Given that baseline, one tends to interpret it as meaning you were working most of the time on it, because that makes it worthy of attention.

That's why it seems not unexpected to me for a person to feel disappointed and mislead.

The real question is: What is the fix? People want social networks but they are opposed to giving their data away or paying for the service. How does a company survive without revenue?

The least path of resistance is giving the service free to users and selling their data. The only fix comes from the users, not Facebook, and that's to stop using the service. Facebook will continue to monetize the user's data as part of their business model. There is no fix from their side.
They can also continue to "up-armour" them with "ghetto grates".

Even if you're pro gun control, it doesn't mean gun control reduces suicides. You'd have to look at the numbers -- are suicide rates lower in places with less access to guns? Or do people just commit suicide differently? I strongly suspect the latter.

Removing means doesn't fix the underlying problems, and it smacks of agenda pushing to suggest otherwise (even if it's a good agenda).

> What can be done to help people make connections after a move?

That's asking a programmer, after a death march shipping at all cost ditching any notion of version control/QA/TDD/etc., 99% of the budget spent, and a bug is found in the field, "What can be done to help us never make this kind of mistake again?"

By the time people are forced out of long-time homes and moved away, the majority of damage is already done in most cases. If they are relatively young and resilient, then they might recover. But you're never going to erase the precarity they experience in the meantime, and at the ragged edges, that precarity is all it takes for many to plunge them over the abyss into homeless desperation.

Going further up the methodology stack so to speak, there are any number of remedies available and discussed to death. Acta non verba though, so I'm doing what I can within my own personal scope.
I'm saying that men don't have a very good place in US society as evidenced by suicide, lack of university enrollment and incarceration. At no point did I suggest that women have power over men. I see the problem as women's issues are being dealt with (often at the expense of men) while men's issues are a taboo that you can't even speak about. I'll use the voting performance of comments in this thread as further evidence that you can't even suggest that men might be in trouble without meeting great resistance.

They are suffering from the stresses of an overbearing culture. Who has time to date when you are worried about getting perfect academic scores just to get a decent job? And then when you do get that job, you work endless hours to keep it for fear of losing it so you have no time to date or meet people. And if you fuck up in anyway people treat you like a social pariah and it could have serious repercussions upon your career even. And after they spend 20 years of doing that, with everybody else around them doing the same thing, it becomes normalized behavior.

Going out for drinks after work isn't relaxation, it is part of the job and the opposite of relaxation. How are you going to meet new people in the first place if you never go out for yourself?

I'm a backend developer; so not much stake in this game. But honest question: why does this need a relatively unknown and unloved language, i.e. Dart? I mean Google just made a big commitment to Kotlin, which is awesome (using it on the backend) and has lots of momentum, and does native compilation as well. So what is up with Dart, aka yet another language not quite unlike swift, java, javascript, c# and indeed kotlin? They've been pushing Dart for nearly a decade and I've yet to meet a single developer specializing in it. I more or less considered this completely dead, obsolete, irrelevant, and forgotten until Google started talking about this flutter thing.

Why is this language needed at all? What's so good about this flutter thing that it could not possibly be done with other languages (i.e. Kotlin) but must have its own language (and associated tools, and other cruft).

I mean, I look at this and think: when is Google going to walk away from this one (again)? Or did they already and just not bother to inform the poor people behind it. It sort of fits in a long line of Google abandon ware. Call me cynical but; really honestly: is this a last ditch attempt at getting Dart on people's agenda or just plain and simple dead on arrival abandon ware.

As for having to learn another language- Dart seems simple and boringly conventional enough to pick up. And it's not as if there isn't ample precedence for mobile engineers having to learn a niche language to make apps. How many Swift, Kotlin, or Objective-C uses are there outside of mobile apps right now? How many servers are running Vapor? How many programs are using Kotlin/Native?

Which isn't a knock on those projects. Like Flutter, they're all relatively new endeavors using fairly new languages. And so, Dart might not be used as much yet, as it's not the native language of choice, and Google's attempts to promote it in web haven't caught on, but low adoption at the beginning doesn't mean it's fundamentally unsound.
$9MM PPV Tiger Woods Matched Broadcast “For Free” Due to Purchasing Glitch
I have no expertise here, but I recall that Jarod Diamond's book Guns, Germs, and Steel claims that almost all wild animals lack a certain set of characteristics that are essential for domestication. These include the ability to breed when living outside the wilderness (elephants lack this) and to be made tame so they don't attack humans and can be trained for useful work (zebras lack this).

Also, it seems to me that people would not put the effort needed for domestication unless they thought the animal could fill some important niche that none of the present domesticated animals does.
how can one calculate the 10% hit on GDP for 2100?

With rising temperatures, there will be natural selection pressure on all organisms, many on which the economy relies (say plants).

Organisms that repeat their lifecycle faster will have advantage over organisms with longer lifecycles (the shorter-lived adversarial species among 2 adversarial species can iterate variations faster sequentially, regardless if the 2 adversarial species are competing or predator-prey, ...).

Organisms that have higher population counts will have advantage over organisms with lower population counts (since the species with higher population counts is trying out more variations in parallel)

Hence smaller, simpler organisms will cause lots of diseases and afflictions in say agriculture, which probably will adversely affect our economies...

A 10% hit on GDP sounds like a ridiculous underestimate

But the next release 3 to 5 years later fell behind Moores law.

>to deflect from the discussion about China’s abuses.

If that were true it would be whataboutism, but I didn’t do it to deflect China’s system. Many ways to skin a cat, inheriently means if I am decrying the US system as dystopian, I am doing the same with China’s (the opposite of deflection and whataboutism) while simultaneously acknowledging the difference in the mechanisms.

Again in the context of the Holocaust, if I mention modern genocides such as Sudan, it’s not inheriently a whataboutism, but a call to consider and compare modern instances of genocide. People can be outraged all they want when another example of genocide is mentioned while discussing the Holocaust, but to call Sudan not a genocide because the holocaust was at a scale orders of magnitude becomes the whataboutism arguement.

The real problem is your telling me “we are talking about China’s abuses”...no that’s what the article is talking about. Look at my very first comment, it’s in response to a top level comment comparing China’s credit system to a system from an episode of Black Mirror.

By the OP bringing up another dystopian system (from the Black Mirror episode) did the OP engage in whataboutism? No! OP offered a comparison, same as I did, both of which are helpful to discussion and interesting. What you are doing is trying to chill speech (eg don’t talk about other dystopian systems while we are chiding China’s dystopian system). And I’m not sure you know what the definition of whataboutism arguements.

My understanding is that it's generally accepted among people researching these things that means restriction (like gun control) does reduce overall suicide rates, it doesn't just make people pick a different method of suicide.

From a quick google search https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22726520

> Although some individuals might seek other methods, many do not; when they do, the means chosen are less lethal and are associated with fewer deaths than when more dangerous ones are available.
People do look at these sorts of numbers all the time, and most of the evidence points to lower overall suicide rates in places that have stricter gun control. Of course, it is hard to fully control for all the correlations, but the available evidence does point towards fewer guns == fewer suicides.

The general explanation is that many suicides are somewhat spur of the moment, and access to an easy way to kill yourself when you have those moments of weakness increases the chance that a person will follow through. People have this sense that suicides are well thought out decisions that people make when they conclude that their life isn't worth living anymore, but that isn't the case most of the time.

s/2/0/ fixes it completely.

Also - `decode-dimms` doesn't work on my system ("Number of SDRAM DIMMs detected and decoded: 0"). `dmidecode -t memory` is fairly informative, however, as is `lshw -C memory`. I'm not sure if both are fishing data out of DMI. I definitely wouldn't mind finding out if my (2x2GB DDR3) responds to I2C from some other program/technique.

I'm not really taking anything on faith here. Anyone with an undergraduate-level physics education should not have a difficult time making sense of all of this. The Greenhouse Effect was first theorized by Joseph Fourier in the early 19th century, and soon thereafter became established science.

I'm a bit puzzled as to why you bring up Solyndra, seeing as they never claimed to be an authority on climate science, just producing PV cells. Are you arguing that climate change was invented in order to motivate grants to research, and ventures like Solyndra, which otherwise may not have received them? If this is the case, then yes, I would say that your skepticism is indeed a political belief.
