> Rights holders only do the absolute minimum to preserve the culture they own ...

I mean, this is not just true, but even more clearly so when you look at things beyond the (fairly niche and not legally sanctioned) 'piracy' scene. There is solid scholarship showing that content which has entered the public domain is far better preserved and accrues far more references, compared to very similar content which is still copyright-encumbered. So it is clearly the case that, while having some copyright is likely good for culture, we have way more of it at present than would be justified.
Throttling background apps has its place on a desktop, too - leaving aside power efficiency, there are material performance gains to be made when the OS automatically prioritizes foreground tasks.

I was surprised to learn that historically Islam allowance of four wives per men is actually a restriction. It's not an authorization to polygamy created in a monogamous context, it's a limitation put in a context where some men would have many more women.

Protected view is an oversimplification. As in, whilst the law names, and officially only ensures protected views, the actual effects of that law go a little further than that and I bet plenty in the law making profession are aware of this, but feel that the law as is is sufficient.

Specifically: The protected view law reduces crowding. Without it, the # of folks living per square kilometer in London would be higher than it is right now, and that would mean London needs to expand all sorts of services (medical, public transport, heck, even the # of butchers and the like), needs to deal with more concentrated pollution, and in general just needs to 'run better' just to keep up the same standard.

And that is not a stupid goal.

Yes, it clashes with affordable rent. I have no solutions, just pointing out that the idea 'hey, affordable rent is way more important than protected views, so, duh, get rid of that law!' is probably a bit shortsighted.
Sixth Tone isn't directed at the Chinese market though, getting blocked by the government shouldn't be a problem for them, as SCMP proves. The difference is that SCMP is owned by Alibaba, while Sixth Tone is part of the Shanghai United Media Group, who are controlled by the party committee of Shanghai. The journalists might not think of their work as anything bad (宣传 doesn't have a negative connotation in Chinese, after all) and I don't think they'll publish outright lies, but they wouldn't exist if not to influence public opinion by countering the usually negative reporting on China with a more positive spin.

That doesn't mean I advise against reading them (I did say that they publish high-quality articles, after all) but you need to be aware that they're not going to tell the whole truth.

It's interesting how the two articles differ. The article about low carb diet is written in a very hateful style, while the one on Ketosis is very technical and includes no judgment on "fadness" or whatever.

Same thing about saturated fat. There are multiple articles that contradict each other, going as far as having a different selection of sources. One links only articles that support how harmful saturated fat is, while the other cites a some sources that say this, and some that say "there's no effect found".

It shows that trusting wikipedia might on something that's not physics or math might be losing proposition.
There is a dual or two-aspect irony at the center of modern culture in the West. The ironies - both negative - are the following:

(1) An increasing, intentional aversion to one's own death and the death of others. Instead of living life in full awareness that you and those you care about are all dying (in some sense), our culture runs from the prospect of death through various forms of distraction, etc. This adolescent attitude weirdly breeds a callousness of heart. If death isn't something you ever think about, then does it really have meaning? If you always evade the fear instead of confronting it head-on, then there is no real loss or pain or grief. There is less joy precisely because of this evasion, but at least you've numbed yourself, right?

(2) The second irony is that even though this culture runs from the thought of death, it is also increasingly a culture of death in some regards. A culture of death is one where individual and collective actions that typically lead to the de-stabilization, weakening, or implosion of the society which celebrates them... are celebrated. This can be seen across the West, regardless of one's ideological slant. Cultural/societal death and decay remain invariant across ideological groups (that is, they have no privileged locus).

I struggled with sexlessness as a young man, even before the rise of popular dating apps. I've a history of self esteem issues directly related to my own attractiveness. Most of this was from my religious upbringing, being sheltered from people my own age and knowledge of sex, and being punished for girls being attracted to me.

Now, as a young man who has gone through counseling, I have begun to have success in dating within the last two years. I've gone on about 25 dates last year, more than my entire life put together before. I even had sex twice last year, which I had never had before. One time was horrible, but the other time was genuinely wonderful. I loved cuddling in eachother's arms and talking about what was deep and meaningful and lovely within our own lives.

I remember the feelings of worthlessness, looking at statistics from online dating websites and population studies, remembering the hundreds of women who weren't interested, comparing myself with other men who were genuinely horrible, cowardly, and lazy people being very successful sexually from a young age, speaking with friends who were girls who complained that their lives were hard because they hadn't had sex in so long (2 months). Add onto this, there is a stigma of being extra-broken or unclean or an 'incel' if you have these problems.

The reality is this: most of the dating advice, from various sources, given to young men now doesn't work. Young men are given few other options other than rehashed 'self improvement' lectures, dating-game philosophies from pua, or arranged marriages. It's no wonder to me why young men my age are buying into some crazy nutcase ideas like government-given girlfriends. The reality is that no other genuinely dating-helpful options are being given to young men.

What helped me was slowly loving my life whether or not there was a lady present, not really caring about what people I don't know think about me, and most importantly getting out more and interacting with more people. I am not sure that this would work as well for everyone I know though.

Dating is still extremely hard for many young men. Counselors need to be ready to deal with this as an increasing issue. Solutions and answers need to be found and given to young men rather than casting them out or patronizing them.

It certainly is not an "old" model since most of society still ascribe to it. Men with many partners are still seen as more desirable due to network effects.

> many of those allergies are just diets with parlance that cooks easily understand

Absolutely. My dad has a strong aversion to garlic - it's not an alergy, he just can't stand even the faintest taste of it in food. After years of telling the waiters "absolutely no garlic" and the waiters bringing food with garlic and him complaining and the waiters answering "the cook said it's so little you shouldn't be able to taste it" nowadays he just says "I'm alergic to garlic" and he has problems much more rarely.
But if repeatedly looking in the mirror actually causes you to become more vain, or develop body dysmorphic disorder, then the mirror itself might not be entirely healthy. Cause and effect in societal matters are complex; there are usually no simple fixes, but that doesn't mean we should never try. Whether this particular attempt will be successful, I doubt though.
Why would the rich want sufficient housing? As long as you can remove rent control the rich benefits from scarcity of housing. They get more rent income, higher property values and less competition. It makes being wealthy much more useful that it would be otherwise.

Training a Computer to Read Mammograms as Well as a Doctor
I remember being quite blown away as a 20 year old during a trip to Paris by some of the paintings in the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay. I had known many of these paintings before, from Wikipedia and school books, but it seems to be impossible to capture the effect of an oil painting in a digital or reproduced image, because, as the article describes, an oil painting is essentially 3-dimensional.

(I also distinctly remember being shocked by the size of some paintings, especially the crowning of Napoleon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronation_of_Napoleon_I#/medi...) This painting was printed in many of my history school books, but I was not even remotely aware that is nearly 10 meters wide.)
You initially claimed that you flagged the article because it doesn't meet your "lived experiences". When challenged on the validity of that reasoning you abandon that claim and now justify flagging it because it's "political in nature and controversial". The truth is you simply don't like what's being said and would therefor like to suppress it, and lacking a more valid motivation will concoct whatever justification you think will be seen as valid, as you've already demonstrated. By misrepresenting your motivations you've shown that you're acting in bad faith, and because you're acting in bad faith any further justifications you offer should be disregarded.

The proposition that something requiring a "deep dive" is now "mainstream" seems internally inconsistent. Also the proposition that offensive content being available on the internet following such a deep dive is "very far from healthy" needs a citation.

There are 2 kinds of home owner.

In the netherlands we have a saying: "Little house, little tree, little animal" (huisje, boompje, beestje). It means: Family life in a suburban home with a pet, a kid or two, a house with a garden, a car on the porch, a stable job, and the home is yours, you're paying off your mortgage, and you'll grow old with a nice nest egg in the form of having built up actual ownership, converting your salary into paying off the mortgage in the timespan of your career.

That's one kind of home owner. Of particular note is that at least in The Netherlands, and I bet in the UK too, the government likes this image. Most citizens do too. So, there are tax breaks for paying off mortgages and such.

The other kind buys as many houses as they can, converts it to crappy rent and because the dream, and the government's policies, are somehow trying to marry the mutually exclusive notions of 'anybody should be able to afford a starter house' and 'all houses should be good investments, giving you more return than just sticking that money in a bank someplace', rent is really high because the competition of just buying a house is really expensive too.

I bet that it is politically virtually impossible to attempt to deal a blow to the 'huisje, boompje, beestje' owners even if it makes perfect socio-economic sense.

So, seeing that as a political impossibility, you're looking for a way to somehow tax only the second category and also doing it in a way that lobbyers of the second category can't misconstrue your plan to get the first category on board.

I bet this is extremely hard to do: It's all one market, after all. If the second category is taxed into oblivion, their demand will cease to exist, which means house prices, also the house prices of the 'huisje boompje beestje' folks will fall drastically. This will do excellent things to the affordability of rent, but it makes those career folks edgy, to say the least.

It'll take quite a while for sufficient generational turnover (and 'the youths' need to vote A LOT more. Even if it does not matter at all; politicians are incentivised to chase policies that benefit those who vote) for me to believe any law that will screw over HBB folk is going to pass.
I don't think your body "knows". I think your mind is very, very good at pattern recognition. It knows that when certain signals exist, a certain condition exists, and when certain foods are eaten, those signals are lessened. It doesn't know what foods will do what until after you've eaten them, possibly multiple times.

Snap judgements exist, but IMO most are non-committal. You'll notice people who are very attractive or very unattractive, but most people you simply won't immediately react to sexually (well, except when you're 15).

Of all the women I've dated, only 1 said she noticed me (either way) before first developing a reasonably close friendship.

For the big middle, personality has a huge effect on perception. See e.g. https://psychcentral.com/news/2007/11/30/personality-influen...

> why won't you care about your physical appearance? Why leave something that important on the table?

Well, certainly don't be a slob. And not just because of dating! Dressing poorly and appearing unkept effects other parts of life too (e.g. career). Also, exercise is important for all sorts of reasons aside from attractiveness.

But other than being generally healthy and well-kept, I don't focus on my appearance because grooming is boring. Why spend your time grooming beyond a level of general acceptability when you could learn to play an instrument, learn a new language, read a book, or go for a hike?

If all you focus on is appearances, don't be surprised when the only people who find you even remotely interesting are other people who focus a lot on appearances.
For what it's worth, Poland is surprisingly good about this:

- as an ISP, you're required to retain data for a year that would let LEAs map an IP address you manage to a subscriber. If you're giving out public IP addresses to your customers, this can be just an excerpt from your IPAM.

- as an ISP, you cannot give out this data without a court order, and you will be in violation of data protection laws if you do do.

I like your comment, it explains a lot. It seems that the system was built the way, that makes a drug research to grow a pie, while in an ideal world where everyone is happy and everything is fair, drug research would shrink the pie: it is the goal of medicine to eliminate all diseases. It means, that all that system is working on self-destruction, but we allow them to get excessive profits now, to make it work.

There is only one detail I cannot understand. Why competition doesn't work? Why some new investors (who are not invested in drugs yet) do not invest in the research of new drug that heals all the diseases, to sell this drug for $1 -- they would destroy existing system, but they would get all the market at once. (Or in a smaller scale they might make a drug that treats some disease once and for all, and shrink not the pie overall, but some part of it).
