I doubt that. I (as a male) would argue that women are under more pressure to conform to beauty standards than men. It's fine not to get in shape for dating if you expect your partner to be the same.
You don’t seem understand at all.

Biologically males are supposed to make contact with females, that is how every species works, but we as humans has now created an environment where that is either frowned upon or ridiculed.
I'm not completely convinced than its reach is that much wider than previous forms of media. Social networks definitely made the Internet more insidious, with your friends and other "real people" acting as a proxy for disinformation; it's personalized mass printed words and sounds.
Not really, as far as I've heard/read, at least in French media, they were very quick to point this out.

He was indeed a crook, but seemed like a nice, personable crooks, rather than the cynical ones we get nowadays.
Yeah, no. Noone needed to read some long ranty message to the end, on the "long form" dating websites of the past. And I doubt there were even that many long form messages from men, given how many women complained in their profiles that they don't respond to "Hi! How're you?" and demanded men to put more effort in.
This really isn't true. Being pleasant and friendly and funny is attractive to many women. Being attractive is a nice shortcut to a relationship, but it won't keep you in one. That's where personality comes in.

Besides, there are plenty of women who aren't interested in body builder type physiques, just as there are plenty of men who aren't interested in size six models.

Companies issue more stock all the time and it definitely has some impact on the market as it devalues a single share.

If a company simply turned each share into two shares, then the market cap would be the same but the fractions of the markteshare that can be traded are smaller.

If the company suddenly issued the entire stock on the market again, the price would plummet to half.

I think you're focusing a bit too hard on this. If we broke the AMA cartel, prices would not magically fall to be in line with other developed nations. The AMA cartel is certainly a factor, and not small one, but it's not the only factor.

We also need to fix the high administrator-to-doctor ratio that adds costs.

Insurance companies provide little value and just extract money from people. They need to go away.

Many low-income people skip out on preventative visits because they can't afford them. This leads to high-cost illnesses later down the road that could have been prevented or mitigated with proper care.

So yes, doctor salaries are inflated, there is a shortage of doctors, and the AMA is a cartel that limits supply. But there's more to it than that.

Edited above.

Also because I noticed only now, whether currency is paper, electronic, or any other material is not actually what tells currencies apart. But while classic legal tender is backed by the goods and services of the country that uses it (I know this part is a bit arguable but let's go with it), crypto is more or less backed by nothing but the trust that the blockchain can't be hacked. One bad hack and the value of BTC becomes 0, something very hard to do with a classic currency but catastrophic if it happens. It's also very susceptible to volatile bouts, as seen before. BTC could be a "real" currency but it would be an overall bad one that could not replace the classic currencies in it's current form. It doesn't mean it can't become one but it would have to change in ways that would take it away from the current BTC.

Take a hypothetical CMU (Close04 Monetary Unit) backed by the value of my belongings. That's a token that goes up and down in value as I buy more stuff or my house gets more expensive, or as I issue more tokens (inflation). But it's only as valuable as the trust you have in me and the laws that prop up that trust. If I sell all my stuff and disappear your token is worth nothing and there's very little you can do. There are no protections, there's no legal mechanism that prevents me from selling my stuff. For a coin to become a proper currency it needs some of those props. Unfortunately most people are internet educated in these aspects so they only understand once they get swindled. Every time a cryptocoin is abused, an exchange goes bust, you see a lot of converts and crypto regulation starts to sound better.

and women don't have to get in shape/loose weight/worry about looks????

Woman have a far tougher time on Tinder style apps. Men are much more visual when choosing, and women have to stand out so much more than men.

Getting in shape is just looking after your body and health, you should do that for yourself. Don't think you have to be a 'gym bro'. I have yet to meet a woman who is actually attracted by guys who present a 6-pack and huge muscles.
I think what is disturbing is people’s propensity to lie about something so objectively false.

As far as I know, vetting potential mates’ physical characteristics has happened for thousands of years, whenever families/friends/coworkers propose a match.

I might even think this is a superior system as people are bad at perceiving their own price in the mating market, and an outside appraisal is frequently more accurate.
This could be said with anything, some people have more money than others.

A car is not worth what the seller wants to get for it. It is worth whatever the buyer gives and seller accepts.

One may think he is astonishingly beautiful but if there's no taker for his beauty, he is ought to ask himself if he is over-valuing some criteria. It is possible that his potential partners are wrong, of course, in which case the question is what does he value more -- being "correct and spending time on Pornhub" or being "incorrect and waking up next to Jackie".

> And that's all. Men see this as unjust. Whether this is unjust or not is a matter of opinion which you may or may not agree on, but it's an opinion nonetheless.

Opinions in a vacuum are just that, opinions in a vacuum.
Even medium levels of CO2 can influence our cognitive capabilities. And it gets worse the higher it gets.
No it's not. It is likely too complicated to reduce to a formula that you can evaluate in reasonable time, or too complicated to measure with sufficient accuracy to even know what numbers to put into that formula, but life still follows the laws of physics and to the best of our knowledge they can be expressed in mathematical language.
"Biologically" speaking, males are the pursuers, and women are the gatekeepers.

I think what many men don't seem to understand is that our society creates an environment where women, especially attractive ones, but almost every women, really, are approached constantly, many times a day if you live in a city.
> So, the overall tone of the presentation seems a bit off to me.

I can see why you might think that but I think everyone is entitled a platform to vent their frustrations on from time to time. They didn't come off rude and I think their comments are ones worth making. However I do agree it was very focused on their bad experiences with user/community interactions.

Yes, distributed computing is sometimes possible for machine learning. However, distributed computing typically makes computations faster or bigger, not cheaper.

> 'Money' is just IOU notes.

So then the various cryptocurrencies fit the bill because a lot of people are willing to treat them as IOU notes among themselves.

> What gives these IOU notes value is that governments use them for paying welfare and civil servant salaries, and in turn take them back when collecting taxes.

But if some people are willing to treat a cryptocurrency as IOU notes, then that cryptocurrency is exchangeable for a currency like USD, EUR, etc, again allowing me to pay those taxes. This is no different than the case of me using USD to produce money for paying taxes to my own country which doesn't acknowledge USD, which you haven't addressed.

> Yes. But with a caveat: the wealth of a government's welfare/civil servant class and the threat of its tax collectors is what gives currency value.

I disagree. I agree with your initial point, though: money is just IOU notes. As long as there is someone willing to buy those IOU notes off of you, it's valuable.
Then they wouldn't be saying that the people on the other side of the earth would experience zero-G as the black hole exited, they'd be "experiencing" some combination of being ripped apart by tidal forces and being buried under rapidly shifting rubble, and all of this would be happening at some G value in the range of millions.

OkCupid did a study on online dating, and men really do get the short end of the stick. They found that when a group of women have their attractivness rated by men, the results fit a bell curve where most women are considered average, and few are very attractive or unattractive. When they asked women to rate men, the results fit a negative exponential model. The majority of men were considered very unattractive, fewer were average looking, and even less were very attractive.

People don't always go for the most physically attractive partner, and traits that are seen as desirable in men are difficult, if not impossible, to convey through an online dating site. So some of what you consider "incel" opinions are factually correct, and backed up by the creators of a dating site.

I'm seeing less and less point with all of that AI thing.

I'm seeing companies spending tens of megabucks on idling GPU farms without a clear idea what to do with them.

Saw that when we did a subcontract for datacentre for Alibaba. They had a huuge reception for all kinds of dignitaries, showing them CGI movies of their alleged AI supposedly crunching data right there in the DC — and all that with all of hardware in the DC being shut down...

The moment I poked a joke about that during an event, there came dead silence, and faces on the stage started to turn red. The guy defused the situation with a joke, and the party went on.
> TikTok's developers should be ashamed of themselves.

Well, there are enough developers from Western companies like FAANG and alike on here, which do not acknowledge that they are doing something wrong, either. Why should Chinese developers be more to blame?

The sentence comes off as a little evasive. It would have been better if they said exactly what the bags are made of. It seems reasonable to conclude they are plastic-free but I don't think you can be 100% sure unless it's explicitly stated.

I don't think the size of the pool is that relevant. The pool from the perspective of insurance company is all insured people, so it doesn't matter whether it's a company of 5 or 5 individuals joining, it's still a huge pool.

Adverse selection is the big reason. An individual signing up for insurance can be used as a signal that means "individual is sick" or "individual is likely to need insurance soon". If a company policy covers all employees (or all employees above a certain level), the signal is "person works" which is orthogonal to "person will need insurance" (in fact, it's probably slightly anti-correlated, a.k.a. "person is fit enough to work").

I call BS.

Companies spend a lot of money on AI because they have a lot of money and don't know what to do with it. Companies lack creativity and an appetite for riskier and more creative ideas. That is what Universities must do instead of trying to ape companies. The human brain doesn't use a billion dollars in compute power, figure out what it is doing.

Sort of by definition, it can never be too costly to be creative. Only too timid. And too unimaginative.

> The point is to have the software yourself.

That's certainly not true enough of the time to make such a general statement, and I contend it's mostly untrue. A lot of developers create OSS that they can't really use themselves. For example, I'm a maintainer for an OSS scale-out filesystem. I have no personal use for such a thing. The company that originally created it had no internal use for it, and the company that acquired them actively resisted its use internally. A lot of OSS has management or monitoring components, or integrations with other software, that the developers themselves don't use. Having the software yourself can't be a motive in these cases. Believe it or not, most OSS is written because the developers expect to make money from it and/or because they believe it will make the world a better place - not because they themselves use it.
Propaganda has been around since before the dawn of mass media

True, but what is different this time is the cost and reach of propaganda. It is a lot cheaper, easier and faster to send emails, post on FB/Twitter, throw a website up... etc compared to 40-50 years (or even 30) ago when you had to use newspapers and television. What is even more horrific is you can tailor these message down to a individual person
I asked the same question after several AI talks given by large companies (Google, Nvidia, etc).

The general answer is that it's still possible to try out things on a single GPU or several servers and many gains come from good features and smart network designs. On the other hand, squeezing out the last 5% does require more data and budget.

Personally, I think you can still do a lot with a moderate budget and smart people. But would love to hear other opinions.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and the claim simply isn't true. My family mail-ordered all the time, and it was nearly always delivered to the house.

I get that it feels neat and tidy to say that Amazon and Uber had the same growth model of skirting regulations, but the facts don't match that.

This doesn't mean that Amazon is good--I think that what the effect of what they've done to retail is awful. But using Uber as the key piece of a kind of Godwin's Law doesn't really help matters.
