It shouldn't seem similar to you. Incels and the hikkikomori phenomenon have very little, if anything to do with each other. From what I gather, incels are a group of people focused on believeing that they are owed sex or companionship in some way, and frequently a derisive attitude towards women who have had multiple partners or partners they regard as low quality etc.

I'm not sure where you get the idea that incels are shut-ins, or an American take on what is essentially the concept of shut-ins in Japan. While I'm sure some hikkikomori do harbor such opinions, I find no reason to think they essentially do, or that it tends to it. If anything, I'd say that the phenomenon is much more similar to MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way), which seeks to reject romantic involvement, at least with women. Again, even that is a stretch.

Where do you get the idea that incels tend to be anime fans? I have the idea that people with more time on their hands who face social rejection turn to media and worlds to the periphery, which anime and manga provide very well - whole worlds of immersive entertainment that's produced every day, huge fan communities to throw yourself into. This is why it might apply to hikkis and NEETs.

I'd also question the idea that hikkikomori are simply less angry incels, or something along those lines. Feeling rejected and a distaste for "3D", opting for the world of fantasy is actually almost the opposite of the incel phenomenon, which is very much focused on what they take to be real world causes to their real world problems.
Microsoft has also demonstrated a far stronger commitment to developers over many decades compared with Oracle, who never sell or promote that far away from the C-suite.

Don't try to come up with a good idea. Come up with a few or even a lot of pretty decent ideas that can easily be monetized. After you figure out these ideas, figure out the shortest path to solve the problem they are after.

Build the shortest path in a decent way but don't spend years on it. Launch it. Did people like it? Did at least one person give you money? If not, go onto the next idea. If you love the idea, no need to slash and burn but if you're not sure the next step, play with another idea for a while.

"That's just luck!"

Uhhh... yeah. You're making your own "luck". Don't scam people obviously but don't feel like you need "That One Great Idea" either. Try out lots of things to help people in exchange for money until you find "That One Pretty Good Idea"

If you are going to throw out the quote, please learn the actual correct quote: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." If fact, it would probably serve you well to learn that actual context of the quote as well (hint: it is not about the conflict between government power and individual liberty...)
That's true, but the difficulty is it's not just going to take 12 months to do something like this. A radically new architecture would take years to become competitive with today's processors for all of the use cases that would make it marketable. Meanwhile the x86 guys aren't just going to sit still, there's almost certainly more IPC to squeeze and they can add fixed function hardware (as they've already done for video encoding/decoding) or FPGA area in new product ranges and keep building new markets that way.
>They're not anti-social, they're anti-socialism.

Is this true? Although I get the impression that the incel movement is right-leaning, is there any reason to say that it's an essentially anti-socialist movement? What are its political goals? Is it even a movement?
That’s not true. Type erasure is certainly a part of the JVM. I’m not familiar with Kotlin but maybe it does automatic type tagging?

But in response to GP, type erasure sucks and makes a lot of things harder.
In the past we solved the problem on the supply side by reducing the difference between Bezos and Homeless Guy. However ideas like that have been made unpalatable to the people who most benefit from them - in a quite frankly brilliant campaign of social engineering - so we're left discussing unworkable "solutions" like this.
In the Bay Area, when they added the ability to pay a toll to use the HOV lane, and also extended the HOV lane hours to end at 10AM instead of 9AM, it immediately added 30-45 minutes to the 880 -> 237 commute from East Bay.

Extending congestion hours by lowering road throughput is counterproductive, so saying “it smoothed congestion” is applying the wrong metric.

At this point in time, we can measure door-to-door time of commuters, and also the number of trips per hour. Instead traffic engineers use metrics that seem to be designed by NIMBY’s that want to increase the cost of commuting into high property value areas.

The bus lanes you propose are likely to have the same problem.

Since you have the ability to improve the success criteria for transit projects, please consider using better metrics.
You wrongly say the parent (which is a straight-ahead reminder of supply and demand, plus some interesting implications springing from tax policy), and then counter with an argument which is even closer to Marxism.

(Although Marx would roll his eyes at the idea that pricing was based on the skill of the producer relative to her peers, and divorced from demand for the good.)
That’s because China’s racism is more about stereotypes and less about physical KKK type violence.

If there was violence, it would definitely be condemned.

The best analogy I can think of is the current Harvard Affirmative Action lawsuit. There are people who don’t feel they are racist/biased, but somehow justify to themselves that having a quota on Asian American students is fine.

Interesting statement. What previous societal collapses can you cite to back up that claim?
I realised that keeping a clean user home directory was futile long ago... this is not even unique to linux or *nix.

Just don't put anything you care about in home directories: in the modern world people own computers not user accounts, you likely have ultimate control over your system, therefore designate your own "home" directory, don't give the other "developers" the choice to polute it by making it non-standard.

I like to be able to nuke my user-home directory whenever I like, I achieve this without pain by additionally placing my hand picked application configurations that I care about into a read only XDG config directory.

It's similar in the Witcher 2, 3 and Skyrim. The saves start small and they grow to 10MB as you progress in the game. I guess there is a lot of world state and items to hold in an RPG. Count a few hundred saves, manual or autosave and that's a lot of space.

In the witcher 1 there is also an uncompressed BMP thumbnail with each save that is about a megabyte. It's PNG compressed in the witcher 2. They learned from their mistake.

micro would be a nice default. It has syntax highlighting, mouse support, and keybindings compatible with windows GUI programs (ctrl-s for save, ctrl-q for quit, etc).

Good point.

If you're using Java now, its probably a good idea to start looking at migration to something not Java. And until the API lawsuit is resolved, even things like Kotlin are probably not safe.

And well, if you choose Java now, you're just a fool :/ It is a footgun and the trigger is controlled by a pack of lawyers at Oracle.
I think that is the one actually because the looking at the post history [1] of the person you are responding to I find that the most recent post they made in the past was one titled “Linux on the Web” [2], which leads to that very URL that you found.

Vim works fine. I use EMACS. TextMate, Atom and Sublime are OK. Any mainstream editor is fine is all but a few corner cases. Truth be told I would be fine without EMACS but maybe less happy. People unable to exit Vim is just a sign of a larger problem, that a generation of programmer relies more on Google and Stack Overflow than simply READING documentation and EXPERIMENTING by writing short little throw away programs. There is so much Vim material out there on the internet that it makes me afraid these defective programmers can't even use Google properly. I still look shit up on the internet all the time but 99% my answer is right in the documentation. Anyone who can really program is horrified by idiots who can't shut off Vim or use WordPad to write c programs and try to compile them.
Likely because people don't know it exists.

I worked in pest control when I was younger (friend's family business) and I live in an area where there's 2 very common unwanted pests. Pest control is a somewhat common topic and nearly every person I know (except myself) has "bombed" their house multiple times.

Speaking of Firefox, there was Firefox OS which appeared to be a stillborn child. It's app distribution model likely was close to PWA's. There's also Chrome OS which has lived longer than its foxy twin, and is going to be incorporated into Android according to wiki.

I think PWA is about tooling, like Google's chrome dev tools or Workbox, and frameworks. The good side of it is sharing the codebase/API between app and website. The bad side is you may bet on the stillborn/transient tech and will have to rewrite or monkey-patch everything.

And ads were never the only business model, it's developer's choice. There are apps for Android w/ decent prices and w/o annoying banners. PWA is no different.

The convergent evolution leaves nothing untouched. I think if proliferate rate of web frameworks continues to grow exponentially, we'll have to deploy docker images right into the browser. I mean, it was a joke. Was it?
Outside NYC, they probably never even heard of "placard abuse".
The whole point of a complicated economic system is to put up with all that precisely because every one gets to have a good job, spouse, kids, nice place to live. And its worked pretty well until lately. The only outcome of failure is substantial real change, war/imperialism/colonialism, collapse, or revolution.

Some argue that retreat into religion has historically resulted. Looking at the modern situation, we seem to be retreating into tech-assisted virtue signalling as our religious retreat. Sounds bizarre to make an argument that facebook or tumblr might be delaying cultural collapse by a decade or two in some areas, but I have read stuff like that.

Not talking about Japan specifically, this is basic human history and archeology stuff.

People can, have, and will put up with anything as long as it "works" for them, and when it no longer works, that's the end of that civilization's business model.

Historically speaking, nothing quite says "war and revolution" like a large and growing population of angry young men who were promised the world if they cooperated and now they're getting nothing.
This article made me think of a Chinese film called ‘The Wolf Warrior 2’ where the benevolent Chinese save an unnamed African country. I believe it’s one of the highest grossing Chinese films ever and might shed some light on Chinese attitudes toward Africa/Africans.

It feels like ‘Starship Troopers’ level propaganda and is completely straight faced.

The villagers constantly thank the Chinese hero for his over-the-tip acts of bravery, they celebrate when he wins local drinking contests, etc.

I think big corp rarely killed a startup.

Some quotes from famous startup people:

“In a big company, you can do what all the other big companies are doing. But a startup can’t do what all the other startups do. I don’t think a lot of people realize this, even in startups. The average big company grows at about ten percent a year.

So if you’re running a big company and you do everything the way the average big company does it, you can expect to do as well as the average big company — that is, to grow about ten percent a year. The same thing will happen if you’re running a startup, of course. If you do everything the way the average startup does it, you should expect average performance.

The problem here is, average performance means that you’ll go out of business.”- Paul Graham

"What makes disruption so devastating is the fact that, absent a crisis, it is almost impossible to avoid. Managers are paid to leverage their advantages, not destroy them; to increase margins, not obliterate them." - Naval Ravikant

Personally, I think if your business fits in a market design by someone else, you are “default dead”. Pepsi never catches Coke. Bing never catches Google. Google Pixel never catches iPhone. The real question is can you design a market that you can dominate. Ignore competition from big corp.
Apes use very similar senses, but our brain gives us the advantage of deriving more from those same senses. Similarly, aliens might be able to process the data better, or gather and process more data than we can.

In a sense, we are alien compared to our ancestors of hundreds of years ago. Our technology extended our natural sensors and we started to learn more about our place in the solar system, galaxy, super cluster and so on. We learned more about physics too. I suspect there is more to the story and more advanced aliens would have some surprising things to say about the nature of our universe. We might have difficulty understanding it if there is a large knowledge gap though.
I assume you mean personal email?

I like FastMail. Just as much as Google Apps ($5 / mo), privacy-focused and the way they handle multiple domains on the same account is better than Google.

My one annoyance with Google was if I want to send something from "hn@<mydomain>.com", I would have to prove I could send from that address by clicking a link... that went to the same inbox.

FastMail allows you to edit the "From" field freely when you have one of your domain fields selected.

They don't have an iOS app but they do make it very easy to add your account by downloading a profile.

I meant it as an analogy where Romanian is Cantonese and French is Mandarin. I’m not certain there are less than 100 novels in Cantonese but I’d happily bet 2% of my net worth on it. The Chinese language page for written Cantonese[1] lists one author and his English language Wikipedia page doesn’t mention his writing. Irish is a dying language and it both has more written in it and a more active literary scene.

I would say the exploitative threshold is crossed when the unpaid community members don't derive any value for themselves from the content (or maybe when the community organizer derives significantly more value from it than its users.)

From wikipedia they get information, from the Stackexchange network - answers to questions that enable or improve their work or hobby; Buzzfeed's Justin Bieber haircut quizzes, however, do not provide any value to the users, apart from a tiny fleeting endorphin rush, maybe.

my understanding is that it's any tax used to price in an externality. An effluent fee would be just one example.

wikipedia supports my usage:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigovian_tax

"A Pigovian tax (also spelled Pigouvian tax) is a tax on any market activity that generates negative externalities (costs not included in the market price). The tax is intended to correct an undesirable or inefficient market outcome, and does so by being set equal to the social cost of the negative externalities. In the presence of negative externalities, the social cost of a market activity is not covered by the private cost of the activity. In such a case, the market outcome is not efficient and may lead to over-consumption of the product.[1] Often-cited examples of such externalities are environmental pollution, and increased public healthcare costs associated with tobacco and sugary drink consumption."
Why would they be "incel" then? There are loads of right leaning women who probably complain that there are no men who want a traditional family anymore. There are seven billion humans. If you can't find one with common values you might be looking in the wrong places.

Of course a woman with traditional family and religious desires is still going to want to be treated with respect, so maybe that's a problem (from what I've seen of the "red pill" cult that overlaps incels). A major gripe of stay at home moms I know is that men do not respect the importance of what they do or the validity of their choice and look down on them.
The real difference between Very Rich Guy and Homeless Guy is plausibly lower today than during any other previous era of history, including the mid-20th century. When he isn't working at Amazon or playing with his rockets, Jeff Bezos is, by and large, buying the very same kind of goods and services you or I buy-- his consumption may be larger than mine by some factor, say 3x or whatever, he might pick slightly higher quality stuff, but that's about it. This was very much not the case historically.

I don't think that is a very good example because that particular "HOV" lane is 100% Teslas with a single occupant, and because the HOV lane ends abruptly in the middle of 237 before anyone exits. The real lesson of these projects is that the EV sticker program was a failure and the cost to drive down 237 at rush hour should have been $50 instead of whatever it is.
