Met current long term GF (~1.5 yrs) on CMB. It didn't have a ton of matches/users in my area but those it did have were more into dating with an eye towards finding a long term relationship.

Besides that I found it pretty easy to consistently get a date or two a week with Tinder, but it was a chore in terms of time spent to do so. It also resulted in a lot of not quite right matches that I felt mixed about, like people who were amazing but didn't really have compatible (with me) life directions/goals.

Bumble was the most useless dating site I tried. Everything seemed to be more about image and posturing than actually dating.

At the time okCupid was in the midst of changing from a decent site for people who still used desktops and web browsers and liked longform text to a bad version of tinder, which I assume it is now.

Assume things have changed a bit by now so of course YMMV.
they can't force you to participate in the receipt checking, you can refuse, and you are free to leave. Because those places are clubs, they can take your membership away and deny you entry in the future, but once you pay for something, it's yours, and they can't search you or your belongings against your will; unless they wish to make an allegation that they saw you steal something, in which case they can tell that to a police officer.
In this case it's very easy to protect the vulnerable. It's called "dont implement fraudulent business practices." This, by the way, also affects people who aren't particularly vulnerable because people should, ideally, be permitted a level of trust in a business without being completely naive.
They're not intentionally publishing them, but they effectively have to because the detection uses Javascript, and you can view that JS and figure out what it's checking for.

Credibility tends to take a hit when you do that. People interpret it not as the restaurant necessarily being bad as much as you having a bone to pick.
Yeah, they had better relaunch with a similar platform immediately, preferably slimmed down and not susceptible to gross stuff, or it will really go from product into vaporware which is a funny transition to say the least
Not exactly what you are asking for, but the v3 of the GPL is mostly about adding protections against patent lawsuits.

If you are willing to pay for protonmail.com, why not just use GSuite or O365 Business? The content of your emails are not used for marketing and you get more features/products for your money. My threat model is not disgruntle employees searching through my emails, or govt. out to get me.

The interesting thing is this is Hinge's business model but they have the problem of abandoned accounts sitting there instead of people deleting them for whatever reason.
How does that legally work? If you're unconscious you should be unable to enter into any transactional agreements, no?
Thank you for the apology. This is a complex topic which a Ycombinator thread can not do justice to, so I present this link: https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/victims-and-perpetrators
If money were the only incentive tons of people would become school teachers because school teachers make significantly more than the average. Other incentives, like having to deal with kids and get a degree, is what keeps people out.
This is not unique to the dating industry, other industries get by just fine without resorting to outright fraud.

I have a terrible experience with your product, I don't want to repeat it. I'm going to try everything I can to keep my new coworkers from repeating that experience.

But there's something to be said for reversible decisions. Any decision that's cheap to change, you shouldn't make it expensive by putting a bunch of energy into. Just pick a fucking color for the shed. It's not important.

I hated your product but I can drop it like a rock, maybe I let my coworkers decide for themselves. And who knows, maybe you fixed the thing that drove me nuts, or this company has a different problem set that doesn't bump into the same things. Or maybe there's some poorly documented solution to the problem that people here know that we didn't.
More useful, perhaps, would be peaceful non-violernt demonstrations. Something like mourning the coming of men and women raising children together.
Not publish them per say, but those methods are obviously in the javascript on the page and inspectable.

All dating apps are filled with fakes and scams mostly perpetrated by those who own the app to milk you of your money.

Ive used match on and off for awhile and the crap stunt of them sending me a bunch of likes, messages just as my subscription is expiring has always ticked me off. Ummm where were these matches the first few weeks and oh wait if i want to find out if they are fake or not i have to subscribe again. Though after the first time of realizing I was being hookwinked by match I never re-up my subscription.
And yet it manages Medicare. Poll Medicare recipients and ask them what they think of it. It also manages Social Security. And provides for the national defense. The government is entirely capable passing effective legislation, or at least half of it is.

In any case, the current system is both unfair and unsustainable. Something has to give.

It doesn't. Software patents are an absurdity that people have fought for ages. They are basically invalid in most of EU.
Consumed... and then excreted. Honestly, I mostly agree with the statement "Some experts remain sceptical about longterm impacts" since plastics are famously inert.
Whilst checking into Hotel Sir Albert in Amsterdam we mentioned it was the fourth time we'd stayed there. When we returned to the room later in the day there was a charming card featuring a hand drawn Kiwi and a note, something like "Welcome home Mr and Mrs Forster". My wife has kept that card, even though she hates being called Mrs Forster (that's not her name). Total cost, maybe $0.5. Customer loyalty delta, very positive.
A minor in Criminal Justice is not necessarily a useful point of reference for the field. Most undergraduate Criminal Justice degrees are geared more pragmatically toward training police, parole officers, and such. CJ majors (and certainly minors) can graduate without ever being in shouting distance of actual criminological research.

That's not to say that the field is without problems, but what you're describing is not well representative of what we're taking about when we talk about the journal Criminology.
That’s over 12% APY. I think you’re either getting scammed or full of it.
Training young humans in basic manual dexterity seems pretty reasonable to me. It would be good to require more manual training than just minimal and mediocre handwriting practice, and get young people folding origami, sewing, drawing, sculpting clay, cutting food with a knife, using chopsticks, playing musical instruments, tying knots, ...

Infinity fabric is a software thing (a way to distribute information over a buss similar to pci-e) where as this is a physical piece of hardware that electrically passes the signals between 2 chips.

I see no reason why infinity fabric could not be routed through a silicon interconnect, but it would be wasteful. The whole point of silicon interconnects that the hardware protocols like pci-e are no longer necessary and can use much lower power/cheaper ways to transfer data.

It actually seems really useful when running. “What’s my pace per mile?” “How far have I gone?” “Reply to my spouse and say yes I’ll get the milk.”

It’s hard to get my phone out while running. Not impossible but an annoyance. This removes an annoyance so that’s a nice option.
The examples they gave are just that, examples. Someone actually searching would enter a term like "eval(" so as to find usage of that function, regardless of what the actual arguments were

I think there might be some confusion here. `foo()` will run asynchronously regardless of whether or not `await` is specified. I agree that in most cases, you will want to unbox the Promise. It is still very common to pass Promises around as values.
Then imagine there is a government aid program to help those people. For the sake of argument we'll use the term "food stamps".
I saw this story, but didn't know it was in my hometown and current city of Spokane, WA (~200k people, growing city). Very cool. The hill where he fell is the crux of our annual Bloomsday race (running/walking/wheelchair, 12km) which ~50k participants each year. Hence the name "doomsday hill" in the article.
That was interesting, but I need to let those things sit for a day or two and stew in my brain.

>“If we ask within 60 days of the recording and as long as it’s been uploaded to the cloud, then Ring can take it out of the cloud and send it to us legally so that we can use it as part of our investigation,” he said."

Just because someone says something doesn't mean it's true:

>"The reports that police can obtain any video from a Ring doorbell within 60 days is false," a spokesperson said. "Ring will not release customer information in response to government demands without a valid and binding legal demand properly served on us. Ring objects to overbroad or otherwise inappropriate demands as a matter of course. We are working with the Fresno County Sheriff's Office to ensure this is understood."

>"Police have also told CNET in the past that they've shown up at known Ring users' doorsteps to request footage in person if the online requests don't pan out."

This is shitty but not a back door, and it's also something police do if you have regular camera footage they think will help with an investigation too.
The Economist had a good essay on taxi companies going back to the 1600's. Basically it's always a race to the bottom and no one wins for long. Four hundred years of history there through all kinds of changes in transportation.

Really excellent post by OP - thank you.
The Fed has been maintaining emergency interest rates for a decade now. When do we expect the emergency to end and rates to go back to the good old 3-5% band from prior to 2008? Short-term is looking decidedly long-term now. Interest rates are in a structural downward trend and probably going to break below 0. People keep saying 'temporary' and 'short term' around these economic decisions before they become business as usual.

If the banks mis-manage money to the point where the health of the system is at risk, the Fed creates more money to rescue them from their bad decisions. The Fed is then hailed as a heroic and necessary institution for 'saving [the economy|the banks|people's savings|our way of life]' by said banks. The incentive structures here are outrageous.

Problems will not be resolved if the punishment for running out of money is being given money. However if that is the approach to be taken there is no justification for not giving everyone free money when they run in to troubles. Except the fact that we all know the unfair advantage being given to the banks can't be scaled up to everyone without collapsing the economy.
Ask HN: I am addicted to Porn. Help me quit
I am 46 years old male and have been addicted to Porn for the last 15 years. I am married and wife does not know. I have not had sex for the past two years with her (or anyone). Seems like the only times I get turned on is when I am chatting with someone in IRC sex channels or when I am watching Porn.

I want to quit because it breaks me to see my wife think I do not desire her physically, because she is getting old. She is a lovely and beautiful woman.

I also want to quit because I find this addiction high, leaves a trace of depression behind.

If you did quit, how did you manage? Any help is appreciated.
Okcuipd (and Sparknotes!) co-founder Christian Rudder wrote an article entitled "Why You Should Never Pay For Online Dating" saying exactly that. When Match Group acquired them, they took it down. I found a mirror, though.

Ok, we replaced the title above with the tournament aspect, which are presumably a little less fictional. Thanks!
Rewriting one of my earlier comments:
I have used Tinder (owned by Match) before and it was one of the must frustrating experiences ever.

First, they do shady things with your data. Since I made a Tinder account I been getting constant ads for random dating sites. This have been going on for months. God knows how many companies now have my data.

Second, they employ dark patterns:

1) Easy account deletion. Why does that matter?
Because they own nearly all dating sites. Including:
"BlackPeopleMeet.com, Chemistry.com, Delightful, FriendScout24, HowAboutWe, Match.com, Meetic Group, OkCupid, OurTime, People Media, PlentyOfFish, Tinder, Twoo, Hinge" So, they don't care if they lose a user as long as they can shuffle them around.

2) They will keep a tab of the number of users who have like you. Then eventually that user will shown to you and you will swipe left or right. In that case the tab count will decrease. This is a complete scam. They would withhold these users to push to a pay subscription. Example: https://i.redd.it/e13yeek795x21.jpg . Moreover, most of these likes a bots and fake profiles.

3) Fake notifications: https://i.redd.it/r0lheira9rh31.jpg

4) Shadows-bans: I saw that my profile was getting no matches. So I made a new profile, ban! a match within minutes. Essentially they shadow ban users as a form of Neg.
Digitally, I'd say yes (depending on your viewpoints of IP.) Physically, no.
I'm a lot less salty because the money I pay is being used to treat everyone who gets sick, including poorer and older relatives and neighbours, and nobody looses their house and life due to healthcare costs.

Even if you pay a lot (because you can, with high income) there is a clear benefit for the people around you, not just cooperations. Basically, everyone around you is safe, and that's a good feeling.

You can even buy a "Super boost", which costs $30. It will show your profile to more people for 3 hours.
Most the vegans I know are overweight if not obese, and not at all models of healthy lives.

They tend to eat a lot of bread.

Do you think that an open source dating app or a decentralized dating protocol would be a good idea?
It's nearly trivial for apple to add proper mouse support and just have apps self-identify as needing mouse or not. There's lots of things where touch controls just don't work well and it's not about "screwing up" the design its just touch controls are bad at pointing precision and there's plenty of reasons an app developer would want to support normal mouse controls. Not every app needs to be use-able on the bus.
"How to lose all your users in 30 days"
I would argue that I've never seen even small teams keep the backend and frontend together if they are doing anything important. GraphQL is, if nothing else, a nice layer over your data that allows the backend developers to see what the front end developer are doing better than REST. That introspection is really helpful.
Polarized lenses run over $30 with zenni, that is more than many frames on the site.

You can get polarized glasses from Amazon for $20.

Zenni gets you in the door with a low base price then slams you with the add ons.
A fair point, and something I considered before posting. There are a few factors that lead me to believe my experience is quite representative.

1) Every single teacher I have (5) are PhDs in criminology.

2) 4 out of 5 classes use their readings/assignments exclusively criminological research papers and peer reviewed journal articles. The fifth is exclusively case law and comments/treatises thereof.

3) Each of the 4 classes covers a rough average of 15 papers, the lowest being ten and the highest 20 or more.

4) The institution I am at is a leader in the field of criminology. In addition, the CJ program is paired very tightly with the law school.

5) The institution I am at is decidedly anti-LEO in both form and content. Though there are a number of matriculating cops and a smattering of future LEOs, the vast majority of undergrads in the program are sociology students aiming for lawschool, social work, or criminology.

I understand your point, and I would wager that it is generally true, but not for my case. TBH, it is the only reason I posted.

I also shared this article with every one of my professors, a few of the guest lecturers, and the dean of the school.

EDIT: clarity of point 02
That's crazy talk. Vegans love meat substitutes in my experience, as long as they're vegan compatible.
To be fair on the last part, shadow ban can be an extremely efficient moderation tool, though for people caught up as false positive collateral damage it can really suck.

This is true even in hackernews I would assume, certainly it is any other place I've moderated before.
I bet the core business was in trouble, so they downsized, threw a Hail Mary, and are pitching it as a pivot.

Odd that they didn't try to sell the core product, though.
It would be possible to, say, make it royalty free until either you tried to use it in litigation or, say, five years had passed.

If you can’t make the thing event slightly useful in five years, society doesn’t gain much for you having an exclusive monopoly on the thing. So long as the tax is low percentage wise, the yearly cost to keep it as your own would be well worth it.
I guess I am old. I would just use browser.
You can always break in somewhere given time and tools. But like the old saying goes, you don't need to overrun the tiger, you need to overrun the other guy.

If a robber has to choose between a locked door and an unlocked door, they will chose the unlocked one. I used to live in an apartment with a door that was so bad that the previous tenant had to add a second lock just to keep it closed, but one day a burglar came and robbed my neighbor. Discussing about why they chose his rather than mine he noticed "from the outside, it looks like you have hardened your door with a second lock".

And yes, you can break windows (if you have easily accessible windows) but a broken window is a much clearer sign of something going wrong than an opened door.
I doubt they think about the implications of what they're being asked to do, especially with things like this becoming more of a norm in China.
The invitation only thing sort of implies that it's as much an experiment as anything else. Real world experiments of that sort are a good thing.
Well at the time tumblr was the blog platform of choice, now I'm sure they'd use medium
Pretty shit coverage around USC too
That is an interesting take. So in your experience the promise of fast development and a single technology, hence easy to onboard didn't really work?
I think this is indicative of the publish or perish mentality that universities have instilled among their researchers and professors. It creates an incentive to fake data, to fake papers, anything to publish. Those who get upset at closer inspection of their papers and their data sound more like they have something to hide, or they are afraid that the spotlight of closer inspection will turn on them. Then again this could speak to the larger issue that universities are having with aversion to critique, and disagreement.
I preferred the L-form plug you're describing, but that's not my main issue.

I used an MagSafe 1 L-form one for a couple of years as well, and now the MagSafe 2 T-form one.

With the MagSafe 2 the cable sheath started to become kind of porous and would fray after a year at the connector, which I had to fix (used some excess sugru my sister had lying around). This worked, but made the connector end a little heavier meaning even more chance it will slip if the laptop is moved ever so slightly.

Another half year later or so the cable showed the same symptoms in the middle of it, where now a large area of the cable sheath would become rigid, porous and would eventually rip open. That part of the cable was usually in the air, did not touch anything and of course was not in front of a heat source or anything like that. Imagine my confusion. I patched it up again with some electric tape.

I never had these problems with the MagSafe 1 cable. When I googled a bit, this seems to be a common issue for Apple cables, and a lot, lot, lot more common for the MagSafe 2 (anecdotally from what I saw in the google results)[1]. That and a lot of people would have the entire cable fray and stop working (usually at the power block end), at which point you'd either have to open up the thing and solder it together or more likely buy a replacement for 80 bucks, but that didn't happen to me (yet) thankfully.

I've used a lot of laptops, and while the magnetic connector is certainly an improvement (so of course, Apple replaced it with USB-C), I never had a cable slowly shed the cable sheath before. That's what I meant by bad design.

As far as I can tell, things didn't improve. Instead Apple decided to not even ship a cord with new models, so you either have to buy one yourself (another 20 bucks) or plug the power block directly into the wall socket. I'm cynic enough by now to believe they didn't stop shipping one because they are cheap, but to make the packaging box "thinner".

They may have completely values. Your shame does not quite matter for them.

The real solution is either find a way to reshape their value or conquer them.
My pet peeve is piping hot coffee which is brewed or delivered using plastic. It is almost impossible to buy prepared coffee that doesn't come in contact with some kind of plastic. I don't trust any of it.
