I'm glad that you achieved a better life. I agree, one should love their life regardless of whether they have a girlfriend or not.

However, I don't believe you are the type of people we are talking about. You say "being punished for girls being attracted to me", which implies that you were already attractive.

It might have helped you because you were already physically attractive. The problem is for those who aren't (and aren't able or willing to get surgery). If physical attractiveness is so important, many men, including myself, might not be able to do anything. Not get a girlfriend, nor get just sex, which is still important.
Can you ask any trusted friend to tell you how attractive you are? I would love that you are average or below and still have success.

In any case, your solution seems to me to be a good idea even if you don't get laid. If I might ask, how did you do that? Changing my mentality and habits is something I've not had much success in doing.

There's no TURN server specified, and I'm not 100% sure whether the one that's specified there (Google's) does both (so if STUN didn't work, would it fail or attempt TURN?).
There is an open Firefox bug about it:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535749

But the last comment raises concerns about privacy implications it may have. So, I think that right now it is unclear whether Firefox will eventually implement it and in what form.
Global Mobile Payment Market Expected to Reach US$ Billion
i dont think there is monopoly in the housing rental market for this to compare with de beers.

It's more likely that the tenants could potentially damage the property and will require maintenance to the owner, and the rent isn't worth it vs the property's natural capital gain. Esp. if the property was rent controlled.

Property prices (and thus rental prices) needs to float at a market rate - any artificial control will just distort it in such a way that it doesn't really make it more beneficial. If housing affordability is the issue, that's a matter of government policy problem (from zoning, to taxing capital gains too lax).
He's about right but it's not really a ground breaking observation.

I'm not a native speaker, and may miss some nuances, but promiscuous is defined as "having multiple sexual partners" by my dictionary which I think is as neutral as possible.

Promiscuity is at first, and foremost was (and still is, in spite of contraception availability) practically more acceptable for men. And monogomy among other things is a constraint on men's behavior - forcing to accept social, and economic responsibilities before fulfilling sexual urges. You are right noting that it rarely worked in any absolute way, but I don't think any law, whether written, or not can be 100% effectively implemented. People steal all the time, but I suppose you wouldn't say it's because related norms are not enforced, right? Monogomy's real application varied over times, cultures, and spaces, but it was certainly enforced by societal pressure, and legally too. Actually, in my father's youth years (and it's not that deep in history) it was hard to have sex before marriage. It was for sure possible, but dangerous for reputation of both participants (probably more damaging for a women, but damaging for both nevertheless). It wasn't US, and "sexual revolution" came to us much later, so that's probably why you may have no living witnesses for it.

Also, prostitution was until quite recent times seen as a moral compromise acceptable only because of long serving soldiers, and sailors. In most societies it wasn't ok for a family man to visit a house of prostitution, and in some cases it was even criminalized.

Sibling comment (granzymes) is correct, also see implementation here: https://github.com/nickmqb/muon/blob/d557c18d2dcd3fc15a7a7a6...

In Muon, you can always add more functions to an existing namespace, so if you wanted to have a function with that behavior you could add it.
Yes, exactly this. If you never really think about your coding seriously, and ponder where you should get better at and then do it - you'll never improve! Simply by acknowledging your own mistakes and how you could fix them in the future, let's you build up skill much better than just churning out code day in day out without giving it a second thought.

I've seen the both extremes, the programmers who are so serious about the style of the code that nothing really satisfies them (and consequently progress happens at snail's pace). Then I've seen those, who'll write the ugliest of hacks just to get the thing working and move on. I think there's a deliberate balance between the two, where you feel you're not wasting time on useless things but actually get something done, which you can then comfortably show to your peers without beginning to blush.

And only way of getting there is practise and being mindful of what you are doing. Similar to sports, music - whatever. To know where and how you did wrong is key, often you'll need a very good teacher to show you that. Criticizing yourself works too, but often you either become too strict to yourself or too lenient.

Just starting to code without worrying if this is the "best practise" or not will allow you get into a flow which is much better than over-thinking your approach. Because once you start to do it, like a good warm-up it allows you to see the problem much clearer as you become aware of the problems as you encounter them. Then if you have time, you might want to refactor your solution or just move on the next most important thing. Sometimes it's better to just write awful code to get to that MVP or other important milestone, only after which you start to review your code. Experience will tell you, when is the right time to move fast and when it's good to slow down and enforce a particular paradigm to your codebase.

I think the poster is spot on. However I think that this reasoning would lean towards defensive programming. And this produces “ugly” code. And for that reason a lot of people don’t like it.
I don’t really see the value of AirBNB anyway. At least in Europe it takes hours to find a nice one, then you rate them and they rate you so hardly any rating is very accurate, the places never match exactly the description, and you need to book well in advance to not need a credit card.

My hotel experiences, on the other hand, are usually much nicer. On arrival I look at the maps app on my phone to find hotels near where I want to be at, I see ratings and price ranges, I walk in and can ask to see the room, talk to someone who’s always polite and often speaks good English, and pay with debit card and have 0 emails or texts or accounts from anyone about my stay.

AirBNB might be nice if you want a ton of space or for long durations. This is purely as a comparison to hotels. Does anyone have different experiences?
> No one blames the US postal service for death threats sent in the mail

If people were regularly mass mailing death threats to large fractions of the population, it would sure as hell get regulated.
Don't need a monopoly if owners collectively behave this way, and they largely do (as we see in places like London or Berlin) because it ensures rising rent and thus increasing profit and property value.
This is a very good idea but I'm afraid it won't play along the human condition.

People construct reality with things they want to believe. Most people aren't interested and/or skilled enough to be reasonable and think logically.

How could someone like that orange ape become POTUS???? This is just one major indicator for the fall of reason.

The enlightenment has failed and instead of a mass of mature citizens who are able to govern the world via consensus like the democratic system needs it to be we are driven by emotions.

Keep on doing this and I hope it may still have some impact.

Further down in this thread you claim that if Facebook were to delay live streams made to "Public" it would mean "the death of every social media company".

That seems a bit "sensationalist".

I think that really what you mean to say is that regulation of "broadcasting" user-generated content (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_delay), especially sensationalist content that appeals to people's emotions^1, could mean the end of social media's lucrative profit margins. Social media could still exist even if it were not very profitable.

Facebook does have a clue what is posted. For example, a recent docuentary on public television showed teams of people in the Phillipines reviewing individual posts.

1. Sensationalism, appealing to people's emotions. The same tactic that caused you to stop reading is also what caused you to start reading. It is the same tactic Facebook must use to attract and keep people's attention. The non-sensationalist (boring, non-controversial) personal content that is posted to Facebook -- what makes the website useful for so many people -- is not helping Zuckerberg's business. In the face of endless competition for people's attention on the internet, it stands to reason that he has an incentive to allow and even promote sensationalist content.
I started using ADW since it first came out on a SLOW Android 2.2 device and still use ADW today.

Originally I was looking for a lightweight home screen replacement but I find it more usable than the default Android launcher. It's one of the first apps I install on a new device.
Of course, Google+ is fine ;)
On the other hand, it's thanks to communities like this one and others that Reddit got where it is today. So not unreasonable to blame them when they change their mind in the name of Ads.
> In the past few years articles and publications regularly emerge that these topics and videos are now basically mainstream. After deep diving into instagram, tumblr, or twitter, to see if these claims are real, I'm going to say, they are, and this is very far from healthy.

If articles and publications on these topics are basically mainstream, I imagine you wouldn't have to do a deep dive to find them.

IMO the fear that videos of extreme violence is just a rehash of the 1990s culture wars on violent video games and movies. There is no rise in violence or extreme acts around the globe despite availability. Certainly not enough to justify a ham-fisted centralized censorship attempt.
To some extent there may be reinforcement dynamics at play here. For instance: young men fall back on video games because they can't find sex partners, and then the kind of guys who play a lot of video games are not desirable sex partners..
Yep, this is mentioned in the doc.

I guess a killer feature would be an integrated "package" manager like .NET's NuGet. Being able to easily "import" C dependencies that way, along with other projects written in Muon could make life much easier. I'm thinking like Rust's Cargo, but without the nonsense of having to build all the dependencies oneself which takes time and storage space - just using a pre-built versioned release would make a massive difference to workflows and reduce friction.
Is anything like this in the works/on the roadmap? (I didn't see it but maybe I just missed it, while browsing on mobile ;))

Star Trek was never intended to portray a realistic, consistent or well thought out post-scarcity society. You could probably describe the entirety of what's portrayed about that society on the back of a napkin.

It runs on magic and nonsensoleum (replicators, transporters and free energy, none of which can exist in the real world) and the unjustified assumption that humanity will simply abandon its vices and prejudices if presented with enough magical wish machines and space communism, rather than use those magical wish machines to manufacture weapons and drugs and rob banks and kidnap people with transporters.

Star Trek is just entertainment, and any attempt to read more deeply into it or extrapolate it into the real world, other than through whatever vaguely moralistic message the plot, itself, attempts to portray, is bound to be a waste of time.
How does the analogy in the title have any bearing on the anecdote shared by the author? It's not as if he adopted a different perspective and thereby gained intuition... instead, he stumbled upon something that he attributes credit for fixing his problem, then backed into a justification.

The anecdote of "ketogenic diet really helped my sleep" seems worth sharing. Everything else feels tacked on.

But political subreddits didn't start seeing bans until 2016. Around the same time, the face of the major news subreddits drastically changed as well. I don't know if it was a result of the election, but the timing does seem to consider further consideration of motives.

>>They then will proceed to find another place that is less easy to control to carry on with their message, and will have a renewed feeling of legitimacy and urgency."

You left out the most important part, by forcing them to 'another place' you cut off their entire supply of fresh young, disenfranchised lonely young men to indoctrinate and recruit into their hateful belief system. Yes they will claim they're persecuted and play that up but by denying them the platform they'll also lose relevance, reach and impact.

This is just a small step in the right direction. Despite warnings from many we've let the internet became a hate indoctrination tool under the guise of free speech. Only now that multiple shooters motivations can be directly connected to 'internet indoctrination' is action being taken. This is long overdue and truthfully just a good first step, closing this pandoras box will require a concerted global effort and even that may still prove to be unsuccessful.

"WPA and WPA2 don't provide forward secrecy, meaning that once an adverse person discovers the pre-shared key, they can potentially decrypt all packets encrypted using that PSK transmitted in the future and even past, which could be passively and silently collected by the attacker. This also means an attacker can silently capture and decrypt others' packets if a WPA-protected access point is provided free of charge at a public place, because its password is usually shared to anyone in that place. In other words, WPA only protects from attackers who don't have access to the password."

That is helpful. But what does less attractive mean? Because by OkCupid's own stats, women find most men to be under-average(https://web.archive.org/web/20170330131859/https://theblog.o...)

EDIT: By this I mean, how much unattractiveness can actually be compensated for by being more interesting. Specially since you can't do that much with photos.

Facing one's own mortality carries a tacit knowledge of death that can't be got by other means. It's one thing to think about it intellectually, to sort of turn it around in your mind. But it doesn't give you a sense of death. I can tell from your treatment of it that you haven't. And that you hold up this sort of deeply personal interaction as a demonstration of some problems you believe you've identified with an entire culture, I think shows of a different kind of callousness of heart.

The current debate about tech industry / social media regulation is really frustrating to me, both on HN and elsewhere. First, there are a lot of people calling for regulation without thinking through the consequences. I see a lot of right-wingers and even libertarians thinking regulation will force tech companies to allow more racist etc content. That is not going to happen. Regulations will make social media companies be even stricter on "extremist content", whether of the Islamist or white racist variety.

Second, people here refuse to engage with the arguments of those proposing regulations. There are real problems that we will not be able to brush off. On the internet, "think of the children" has long been a sarcastic phrase. In reality, faced with a choose between allowing for example pro-ana content that encourage teenagers to starve themselves to death, and annoying 25-year-olds who want a free internet, most people will choose regulation.

Galaxies don't all have a proportionally equal amount of dark matter. So if you invented maths that would account for some dark matter, they would fail in other cases. You'd still have anomalous events that would require the type of ad hoc explanation that dark matter solves. Plus an extra superfluous theory on top of that.

Rent control doesn't have to work this way, for example right now in Ireland.
Rent control is associated with the Unit, not with the tenant.

If you move to another rent controlled Unit, there's very limited situations where the landlord can increase the rent beyond the limits.

A big problem is probably once you've implemented rent control, changing the system later becomes increasingly more difficult the longer it's been in place... as someone is always going to lose out.

It seems that the author's target audience is highly non-technical readers. I'm not sure if the article does more harm than good by just citing existing technologies that aren't used by privacy-minded power users without pointing towards proven solutions as well, even if they may require effort to implement. All is not lost.

The article touches on the OpenVPN protocol, "commercial" VPN providers (ExpressVPN in the screencap), but just glosses over the availability of better protocols, good providers, useful browser extensions, and democratized DNS encryption.

A combination of a WireGuard VPN provider (Mullvad comes to mind), using only the Firefox browser with a few extensions (such as Multi-Account Containers, HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes, etc.), and using DNS over HTTPS (can be enabled in FF as well) will solve most of the problems the article posits. Running AdGuard as a local DNS server with upstream DoH is also something relatively easy to do.

Sure, overall security posture calls for a bit more but a good [VPN + DoH + FF + AdBlocking] setup should be the norm and not the exception; and will definitely pay off dividends rather than just letting a green padlock give users peace of mind.

I'll actually write a how-to on this, since I don't want to seem like I'm just mentioning a solution without actually providing the steps to get there.
