Hate to be a let-down to what seems to be a very well-researched post, but I ctrl+D-ed for “divorce” on that page and didn’t find any match. Imho “divorce” is the single most important “black swan” event which can negatively influence the life of two persons younger than 40 or 45 (after that age threshold disease seems to be a more worrying black swan-like concern). I’ve made this argument before on related topics and I was told that “if we’d think about divorce just before getting married then people will never form families”, which is probably true, but is also true that the divorce rate sits anywhere between 20% and 50% in the Western world.

The naked truth is that every big family-related decision (buying a house, making kids) is a big shot in the dark, with no “assured” positive outcomes.

Numpywren: serverless linear algebra
I’m rounding the corner on two years at the startup I co-founded. For context, I do all the tech, my co-founder (also tech guy) does sales, BD, and all the “run the business” tasks, and our one full time employee does talent development for our customers. We raised a pre-seed round in July of 2017.

We’re fortunate in that we have had meaningful revenue from new customers every few months, so closing deals is a clear “moment to feel good.” However, I don’t think those “highs” are actually how we tend to celebrate most commonly between the three of us.

Our first hire had a tendency to say to each of us, at random different moments of gratitude, “I appreciate you.” That sentence is so powerful and celebratory, we’ve integrated it into our common language between one another.

When my co-founder is slogging through b.s. state paperwork for benefits, a simple: “I appreciate you” goes a long way. Because him getting over that hurdle IS a WIN, it just feels like Chinese water torture in the moment.

Give it a try sometime with a team member who just gave you a great code review, or your partner in finance who just reviewed that crazy contract for you. Small wins abound, and showing appreciation is a great way to celebrate.
The “vast majority” doesn’t include the historian giving the talk at Stanford I posted. I’m honestly surprised to see so much support for Jesus with no data behind it on this site.
But why did they spring up in the first place? Trends such as increased youth labor mobility expectations, more frequent job changes, and the decline of social interaction opprtunities (not at the bar) have really unmoored a lot of people socially.

No, thanks to post-quantum encryption there is little to worry about privacy threats from quantum computing. At most, 15 years from now today's recorded messages will become decodable.

On the other hand, the advances in chemistry/material design/drug discovery/metrology thanks to quantum computing will be an amazing quantum leap [pun intended] from what we have today.
I use R all the time, and I have come to love it, but I feel it's Stockholm syndrome. There are many complaints about it, by others, more experienced at the langauge than me (and some who are less so) that you can find on the internet.

My personal beef is with the inconsistencies in the syntax, programming conventions and, particularly, data structures, all of which were designed in a haphazard manner over many years, by many different parties working without any coherent plan towards integration and unification of language features. Like you say, it's basically a more "modern" layer bolted on top of S- or rather, many, many such layers, some distinctly less modern than others. The result is that it's very difficult to figure out the language as a whole. For every specific thing you want to do, very often, there's a very special way to do it, and you just have to know it, you can't just intuit it from first principles, like in other languages.

A couple of months ago, a medical student who wanted to get into data science asked me which language to use, R or Python. I recommended Python, although I myself prefer to work in R. I felt that it would be way easier for him to get started and get a feel for the job in Python, whereas in R he'd have to constantly battle the language and spend much too many hours browsing SO for tips on how to do very specific things, rather than gaining an understanding of the language as a whole- because it's almost impossible to understand R as a coherent whole; because it's not a coherent whole.

So I'm not, like anti-R or anything, quite the contrary. But I do believe it's not developer friendly, not by a long shot.

Re the bath tub example, that’s an interesting example because it’s quite common to have pictures of children playing in the bath or at the beach and obviously that’s not porn. We also have communal changing rooms in gyms and some swimming pools. Some Northern European countries have communal steam rooms where the etiquette is full nudity; and that’s not a sexual thing either (well, not to anyone who actually uses them anyway). There are nudist colonies and all sorts. Again they aren’t a sexual thing. What about breastfeeding? Women should have to hide away in toilets to feed their babies and there’s nothing sexual about feeding a child.

Thus the issue is really more of sensibilities than anything. Nudity isn’t a big thing in Europe like it is in the US. It’s common for women to walk the beaches topless; and frankly they should be allowed to since it’s perfectly natural and men do it too. The whole “the statue is topless so it’s sexually explicit” comment is really weird to read in the context of European attitudes because we differentiate between nudity and sex (as the earlier examples demonstrate). Which is probably also why America needs the “free the nipple” (and similar) campaign if people like yourself consider any form of nudity to be sexually explicit regardless of context. I mean we are all born naked - it’s so weird to read someone say that the form we are born in is indesent and worse imagery than violence. I just can’t fathom that logic. Sorry :-/
>My understanding is that a city boundary in the US is a big deal. The police force on either side can be completely different, things that can get you in a lot of trouble like gun laws can be different on either side, prices and taxes can be very different.

The biggest thing that changes is the school district. City schools tend to be worse than suburban counterparts, and that completely drives a cities ability to retain young families, thus altering the demographic makeup and tax base of the city.
No, there definitely wasn't. 'Credible' scholars have known the earth is round since the Greeks. Archimedes even calculated the circumference.

>I know it sounds Black Mirror-ish, but if it would penalize rude guys, it would be a win for everyone

You know the message of the Nosedive episode of Black Mirror was that such systems would be a dystopia rather than a “win for everyone,” right?

The episode’s point included the idea well-intentioned social system engineering can backfire, which is a well accepted trueism in the social sciences. And your refutation is basically as long as women don’t have to see anything they don’t like, it’s worth it.
What Youtube really needs is a method of telling them that you're using the content with a valid licence.

Depends on how rich they are, especially now with sharp limits on deductions of taxes and mortgage interest. You can also time it so you bunch your itemized deductions for multiple years into a single year and then take the standard deduction in the other years.
By volume, the vast, vast majority of gay porn on the major sites (pornhub, xtube, xhamster, etc) is amateur. Similarly, if you look at the "most watched" and "top rated categories" only about 1/5 are non-amateur. Straight porn I have no idea.

I must still be jetlagged or something, because I skimmed the article but still don't understand - how can the 25% figure be true for both men and women? Surely if one gender is, on average, matching with people more deseriable then the other gender that's being matched to them must be matching with people less desirable?
Your argument is as bad as saying: "Well, that could be mitigated by not having internet"
I agree, and journalism is definitely a profession that is reliant on trust. A reporter can get all the facts correct but still be completely wrong in judging their importance or interpretation. But that doesn't mean fact-checkers can't catch them when they are materially wrong about confirmable facts. Presumably, if a reporter completely misread/fabricated what a town's sign said, then they likely misjudged/fabricated the basis for describing the town as being close-minded and ignorant.

Here's a good article about the New Yorker's process: https://www.cjr.org/the_delacorte_lectures/new-yorkers-fact-...

As a personal anecdote, the only time I've ever been published in the New York Times was in the NYT Magazine. A staffer had seen a comment I posted on HN (in a HN thread about a NYTM article) and asked if it'd be OK to print it as a letter to the editor. When I agreed, I had to email back and forth with a fact-checker for a couple of days to clarify the content of my HN comment -- she even went so far as to point out, to my embarrassment, how I had misremembered the plot of "Dumb and Dumber". If they put in that much time for a letter to the editor, I imagine that their actual staffer articles put under the same amount of scrutiny.
Tinder was originally Grindr, and it was meant to solve the double problem gay people had when finding a match, which is both the smaller dating pool and the risk of stigmatization. In this respect it was a huge boon to the gay community. One can imagine plenty of other such communities where such an app could be beneficial.
Even if it compares the format, formatting for the printed page (Letter and A4 being ubiquitous) is a solved problem, and formatting for digital devices is still a work in progress.

This all would have happened before the various councils decided what would be considered canonical, and the councils themselves probably had no idea that it had happened.

As for the dead sea scrolls, all it shows is that the final forms of the books in the Hebrew bible and related extrabiblical works existed prior to the canonization. It is pretty clear that the Hebrew bible was edited in prior centuries:

Many of my issues will be specific to the environment. The thing that made me use the first perl one-liners is because I was used to using 'rename' in the command line and I was able to emulate this with perl more easily (using a regex substitution) than 'mv'.

The second and more pivotal one liner was when I needed to create a primary key to ensure I wasn't getting any dupes later down the pipeline (a requirement that came about as some of the other contractors on the project were messing with my exports and then blaming my files for their conflicting numbers). My first approach was to use the MD5 tool included in GIT bash, but this was prohibitively slow, taking 45 mins to loop through each line of a 4mb file. Not sure if there was a performance penalty on the box I was using, but the perl one liner did the job in a couple of seconds for all the files I had.

After that it mostly became a question of maintainability, with the performance being a boosting factor. I found my perl deduping one liner was faster than either 'sort -u' or 'sort | uniq'. I was able to add new features and account for weird issues more easily. Regex was better than sed, syntax was more flexible than awk, there were more filtering options than grep.

Plus it was good fun. Perl has so many things that just feel so nice and tidy compared to bash.

Having said that, I still use Unix pipelines extensively, they just tend to be for ad hoc queries rather than for my automated reports.

I specifically requested (and got) to be outside their CG-NAT. It worked horribly (the ports got reset every other day, and some other customer could have taken the port you wanted at that point) and some applications with ports hardcoded over number 2000 did not work. People with PPTP VPNs could not use them anymore. Plus, enjoy getting banned from things because you share your IPv4 with plenty of strangers.

Well as you can see the problem is that open without encoding arguments uses the system default settings (in this case cp1252) which is always a terrible idea regardless of how a language represents strings internally.

Maybe 'matching' was not the correct word, sorry.
Well, except for attackers behind the CG-NAT.

Also, CG-Nat is a HORRIBLE technology that causes lots of problems for subscribers all fo the sake of allowing an ISP to sell their IPV4 space off at a premium and pump up their numbers if a quarter demands it.

I'm with Virgin cable in the UK and they are going to IPv6 soon ... but with DS-Lite, so CG-NAT for IPv4 (yay, I can't connect back to my home VPN if I'm on an IPv4 only network) but native IPv6 (sort of yay).

You then also have the issues with online services, IP bans etc. etc. etc.

CG-NAT is nothing to be cheered on, and is worse than useless for "security".
> For men, desirability peaks around 50 and then declines.

Perhaps within their own age group, but I don't believe for a second that a 50 year old man is more desirable than a 30 year old man. If that were true then the 50 year old men would be able to date the most desirable women, i.e. 18 year olds according to your statement.
"Also, it isn't tobacco that is the big driver of juul sales. Weed is."

> What I'd like to see is an app where you don't get to see any pictures until you've initiated a conversation (of some minimum length) with a person

I doubt many people would use this app. Physical attraction is too important.

If I was going to design a dating app, I would restrict people to having 1-3 (needs testing) likes/conversations at a time. If you start a new conversation, you drop your oldest one, and the person you dropped would be informed.

The idea would be to encourage users to be more discerning and invest more in conversations.

More generally, I reject the "soul mate theory of dating" - I think most people could be happy with most of the people they find interesting/attractive off the bat (and some of the people they don't). But the multitude of options discourages users from investing in a conversation or meeting up and encourages flash-in-the-pan dating strategies. These strategies rarely translate into the long-term relationships that most users claim to be looking for.

I'm not convinced that this idea would be popular.

I see your point. However, if they were some kind of activists, we would have heard their manifesto by now. If they were simply trouble makers, I would have expected them to get bored (and maybe scared) a lot sooner. The list of reasonable candidates is a bit short. I wouldn't put it past the Russians (for example, I don't mean to point fingers) to cause trouble just for the sake of causing trouble. Also, even if this particular tactic becomes harder in the future, it shows just how pitiful the response has been. Whoever it was tested us, and we failed.
I prefer deadline driven as I have an objective and date to meet. It makes it easier to push really hard to get it all done by the date as I always work smarter then. Unbounded causes feature creep and process to drift, in my experience.
