Your reasoning assumes people don't skip steps in the process of learning things. There are cliches to support my case. "Only knows enough to be dangerous" "More dollars than sense"

That itself is dangerous. You're basically discouraging someone from offering advice to the general public because you think the knowledge is generally known, but that's just not the case.

I have a general idea of what I'm doing but reading that comment changed my perspective of what is and isn't dangerous in a car and those dangers shift from ICE to electric.

Frankly, I'm glad he opened my mind to the ideas.
High ranking "Alpha Males", are "disease ridden"? And those are the males all the females want to have sex with? And these females crowd hookup sites where they prove so slave to their libidos that they forego asking for testing or, say, condoms?

I don't know man? Are you guys sure about this whole theory?
> Homeopathic stuff is typically harmless and not a major killer.

Homeopathic stuff may be harmless, but homeopaths are sometimes actively harming themselves or others by not getting proper treatment.
They are a niche distribution of a niche distribution of one of the BSDs. They are moving to being a downstream of the 40th most popular Linux distribution by DistroWatch's measures. What is there to get away with? I suspect most of the people using this are the ones making this decision.

Dropping IE support is a luxury not everyone can afford. So you either write code like it's 2014, or you use modern js features and have to transpile your code. That may add some overhead, but I'm much happier using async/await and babel.

You have no social activities involving women outside of gym, store, and bar? Stop trying to "pick them up" in the first place. Find a social activity, and try to befriend a few people. If you're interested, ask a girl out.

It seems as though the root of this is less socialization. I always thought you were usually supposed to get to know someone before asking out. I know HN isn't big on religion, but churches served this function among others for a long time, and I don't think the large, secular group of young people has yet found an adequate replacement. In terms of a close-knit community with similar values, religion is hard to beat.

The share of Americans not having sex has reached a record high

% of 18-30 year olds reporting no sex in the past year

2008

Women: 8%
Men: 10%

2018

Women: 18%
Men: 28%

The rate of change is twice higher for men. I guess reality is misogynist by your definition of misogyny
> Move forward to today: a large percentage of men are totally removed from the dating market (not by choice), they do not have sex, they have no hope of getting into a relationship. The reverse is not true for women, who have countless options and can at any time open their phone and have their pick of men.

You are totally ignoring the demographic of women over 40. Older women have a very hard time dating.

> So, when it says young people are having less sex, it’s primarily men who are having less sex. The world changed, women do not need your money or your protection. The fancy jobs do not matter like they did before, nor does having a ton of money. What matters more than anything now are your looks.

This was already foreseen by many feminist and population control advocates in the middle of the 20th century, such as Mary Daly. Here is Terence McKenna's take on it in a 1994 talk:

"There are not only too many people, there are too many men. I would be very interested in seeing a set of social policies, tax incentives, medical policies, insurance policies, put in place to limit male birth. It is very rare in mammal populations that you have a 50/50 ratio of male to female. In fact, it is well known that male infants are less robust than female infants, and the reason we have a 50/50 sexual ratio is because we artificially support males and withdraw resources from females. I suspect that in the high paleolithic the ratio was closer to two to one. My supposition, in thinking about this, is probably that the best ratio is three to one. This is the way to feminize the human race, if you are serious. This is the way to advance women, if you are serious… I have never heard anyone say that male birth should be limited, but it obviously should… we can steer ourselves towards a population with a predominance of females, and those females should have only one child, and 75% of those children should also be female. I don't consider myself a gung-ho feminist… As a humanist, I advocate a reduction in male births. It just seems obvious that it is the way to go. If it does not seem obvious to you, then let's have a public debate about it, and at least make it part of the rhetoric of the culture, that this is an option to think about."

The contents of the book are wonderful, but I can't stop admiring the TeX typesetting itself. It's startling how effortless it is to read this document compared to 99% of Web-based reading I do every day. The things that stand out to me most are the lack of vertical whitespace "rivers" due to the smart kerning & tracking, the small-caps for technical initialisms like 'HTML', and the beautiful beautiful Garamond of the body text. I should use LaTeX more :)
The way I read it, your initial comment seemed to defend the current system for non-rich people since it allows a few non-rich to take advantage of it (at the expense of other non-rich.)

Why wouldn't something like this crate engine be great for a Prius? The Prius has a 90hp ICE. Replace that with a 110hp crate electric and now you have more power in a 100% electric vehicle.

I'm not sure if it was that one or not, I tried looking through it and couldn't find it, but I remember there was a good comparison between the joke setup and execution of old style simpsons and the later seasons that really put the difference between the two into perspective. I just remember it summing up all the things I disliked about the new Simpsons in a single joke that I'd never really been able to notice in detail until it was laid out like that.

You could also get better. The placebo effect is a real thing. People wouldn’t fall for the snake oil if it never “worked.”

I agree...when I had Netflix through a family member it was loaded with a bunch of content I've never heard of.

They need to spend a lot on familiar/legacy content as they did recently with Seinfeld.

I personally had no issue canceling my family members plan at their request.
> Without the dual-class, Starrett probably would have been bought out in a hostile takeover/leveraged buyout

Recently, in Switzerland, there was a company (Sika AG), where the founding family held 54% of the vote with 16% of the shares. When they wanted to cash out, they simply sold their shares to an outside investor at a sizable premium, and the remaining shares could potentially have ended up worthless (ultimately, after a multi year lawsuit, a compromise prevailed).

I think it's gray because in my opinion it's not true. I've been to CVS many times, and while there may be some products, I don't see the shelves overflowing with homeopathic remedies.

Also, it's important to remember that "homeopathic" has multiple definitions in this context. There is the definition of "a substance in a dilution so minute that it's likely non of the actual molecules exist in solution", but that BS is not what you'll find at CVS.

Instead, you'll find stuff like Zicam, which is marketed as a "homeopathic preparation" (TBH I have no idea why), but it most definitely contains sizable amounts of the active ingredient, zinc. While the jury is still out on whether zinc is as effective in shortening the duration of the common cold as advertised, there is certainly a sizable number of studies that support it. I take it and it definitely seems to work for me - whether that's placebo effect or not I have no idea.
About eight years ago there was a flash in the pan company that was claiming to be in late development stages on a drop in replacement for the alternator. Combine with a small supercap bank, it was intended to turn any car into a mild hybrid.

What I can’t remember now is whether it simply stopped drawing power when you were accelerating, or if it actually ran as a dynamo when the throttle was open.

They kept posting updates for a while but I think they must’ve figured out that reliability was a much bigger issue than they initially thought.

Amazon, Apple, Disney, HBO Max, Hulu, Peacock, ..., oh, and Netflix. How many monthly memberships are people going to want to pay for, especially when there is already a huge library of free content on YouTube? Interesting times...
I see your point, but I don't agree. It wasn't poor planning, it was a calculated risk. Their options as I see it:

1) Delay - yet another year where the pixel doesn't have good facial recognition. During this period all of the OEMs will probably implement some crappy FaceID knock off which will damage Androids image.

2) Bank on in-development facial recognition - Google has lots of talent, they can probably get it done. Risk, they don't get it done.

3) Include both - hardware costs go up, internal size goes up, and people will expect both the next year.

4) Skip facial recognition entirely - Get "left behind". AFAICT people expect facial recognition for unknown reasons. Further, there are several applications of facial scanning that enable non-biometric-security features (anti-features?).

Its easy to see how they chose option two. Sucks it didn't work out.
> Their job is to test these planes.

No the FAA certifies airplanes, which is largely a paperwork exercise. They do not have airline designers and test pilots sitting around.
Honestly you could make the exact same argument about cigarettes - until about 5-10 pack years (pack/day for year) there is no increased cancer risk.

The problem is that people don’t smoke only one cigarette once a month or eat junk food once s month.
The train counter isn't even software based. I just wanted to point out the example of a much more common issue that most programmers aren't aware of. Very few languages catch unsigned integer overflow as well. The only popular one I can name is Swift.
A relationship is alot more than being conventionally attractive, many men simply don't even know where to begin when it comes to looking for a relationship or have serious self-confidence issues.
This is completely bunk. You could smoke a cigarette occasionally and it would be about as harmful as drinking a soda.
I've always been unable to like product hunt. I find difficult to navigate it, and to me just looks a never ending unlinked waterfall of products and services. Just an opinion though.
>Netflix’s issue is not the quality of content - it’s their business model. They are borrowing billions to create content with the only way to recoup the cost is mostly by subscription revenue. Their initial rationale was that they were building a content library that would have value. But, they admitted during the last conference call that subscriber growth was slow expectations because they didn’t have any new big releases. No one is going to are about “House of Cards” in five years.

I think you are contradicting yourself here. If the quality was good they wouldn't have mentioned not having big releases as being the reason why their subscriber growth was slow.

>Compare that to Disney’s library. People still care about Disney’s animated movies from the 30s and even adults are nostalgic about the 90s X-men animated TV show and the original Star Wars from the 70s.

I think you are arguing in favor of what I was saying?

>Besides, Disney makes billions from their content from theatrical releases, video on demand, network and cable TV, theme parks, toy sales, etc.

Yes, and for some strange reason Disney trades at 2x the market cap of netflix with 17x p/e while netflix trades at 88x p/e. Either Disney is severely undervalued or Netflix is severely overvalued (or both).
If your AI is any good it will refuse to play because it’s realized the house always wins.

I spent a few hours watching card counting videos on YouTube to see if there was anything to it - didn’t matter who it was, they spent the entire time belly-aching because other players were getting “their” cards. Amazing how all these card counting schemes depend on everyone else playing perfect basic strategy.
The FAA has wide latitude to regulate our skys, so there must be some gotchas to this hypothetical law that you're thinking of that aren't immediately obvious to me, so I'm curious where my blind spot is.

Eg. Video recording is prohibited from any Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), except by license from the FAA.

Said license would then include a requirement to get permission from the property owner.

It's one thing to put up a 9-ft tall fence surrounding your property to prevent passers by from taking photos as there are very few 10-ft tall people. It's another thing if 50-ft tall fences aren't enough.
Mythical 'lost city of Gods' discovered in dense Cambodian jungle
The way I discovered one of my cars needed new shock absorbers was driving down a very steep hill toward the stop light crossing a busy intersection. The road was super bumpy and one of my tires kept losing contact with the road. I managed to stop but it was a much closer thing then I was comfortable with. Scheduled an appointment at the auto shop very shortly after that.

Going down an incline or around a curve without all four tires on the ground is terrifying.
Ignoring the debate about its usefulness, I have a really hard time with the line of thinking that minority/disadvantaged populations do poorly on the test therefore it is discriminatory.

Everyone takes the same test. Preparing for it more (prep classes etc) will make you do better. That is true, but what does a non discriminatory measure look like then? Unless it has exactly proportional results then it can be called discriminatory. What sort of test/measure can you create that will make having resources to prepare for it more than someone else not matter? Would that even be a good measure?

I was a solid B student in high school. I got a 35 on the ACT, which apparently helped me land a scholarship. So same boat as you.

Except I then it lost due to being a depressed anxious wreck, not showing up to classes, switching majors 2-3 times and finally dropping out after 5 years full time + 2 years part time + 50k in student loan debt.

It's fine now though, apparently degrees aren't all that important for most software development jobs.

In this case, I don't think anyone is subconsciously imagining the literal country of Egypt cracking open an ancient tomb, but rather "the people over in Egypt who do that sort of thing". There's artistic expression in figurative speech and I think it enhances average intelligence of the population by existing. A common trope in distopian fiction is banning of figurative speech as a form of fascist mind control.
I went through SICP a few years after finishing my computer science degree and enjoyed it greatly. It was a great experience and I think made me quite a bit better developer. I also became a huge fan of lisp which I think is one of the side effects of this book.
I have bachelors degrees in Computer Science and in Mathematics, and a Master degree in Mathematics (getting Masters is common and expected in the country I’m from).

My friends who only have mathematics degrees have jobs where their extensive training in abstract mathematics is mostly (eg insurance and finance jobs, which only use small fraction of what you learn in a math degree), or wholly (lots of them are software engineers) irrelevant.
Your position is unfalsifiable. If there had been Russian advertising at scale, it's proof of foreign interference. If there's basically no spend at all, that's still proof of foreign interference because dollar spend doesn't matter.

Look, the whole Russia angle is a hoax. When put under enormous external and internal political pressure (remember Twitter/FB are filled with Trump haters), all they could come up with was a tiny number of ads labelled "Russian" that appeared to support nobody in particular. Hardly anyone saw them, so they can't have had much impact. And was that some plot directed by Putin or just ads by people who happened to be Russian? It's never made clear.

Back when Obama was in power and there was Citizen's United, he said words to the effect of "we must consider changing the constitution to limit political spending" and the Clinton wing of politics was spitting bullets about how in future Republicans would just buy elections outright.

Then Trump came along and beat Clinton, despite being outspent 2:1. Clinton's campaign steamrollered Trump's financially yet still lost. The whole theory of elections that had been pushed until that point, that marketing spend determines victory, it was just completely invalidated overnight. Democrats who couldn't psychologically explain voter disagreement via policy arguments could no longer explain rejection as a function of ad spend either, so had to come up something new - hence, this spectre of "foreign interference", as if Putin has some kind of mind control rays.

"Omit that last sentence." is advice that applies well to a lot of comments on HN.
It'll probably start to level off once the ~250-mile range barrier has been broken. Based off conversations with EV owners I've had, anything above 200 miles seems to be the comfort zone where they genuinely don't feel range anxiety throughout their day. Manufacturers are getting close, but as it is, why would anyone want an 83-mile Leaf, when a 120- or 200+ mile one is available?
The answer is they don't, which is why you see the early-gen ones going for peanuts.

Which, honestly, is not a bad way to get in to EVs as a secondary car. They're nice on the inside, and if the range works for you, dirt cheap to operate. One of my friends recently picked up a few-years-old Chevy Spark for around $5k, and absolutely loves the thing. It's a great city car, and the low range is a non-issue for his needs.
Chevrolet is also preparing an EV crate motor alternative to the venerable small block chevy.

It may be that the sway of the “Moral Majority” has lost its clout. When Ellen first came out as gay on her show it was a big deal in the 90s and Murphy Brown having a child out of wedlock was a talking point by the Vice President.

Now even cartoons aimed at kids show same sex couples (I can’t remember the name of the cartoon) and Disney and most corporations are ignoring them - including protest about an interracial couple.

And also much worse for the environment. If you convert an older car, you save all the energy and pollution it takes to make an entirely new vehicle.
Very nicely done, enjoyed playing it! My only wish would be to hit after split, though the way you handled it is perfectly valid.
I think a person's trajectory can introduce some biases. In antiquity, culture and economics changed more slowly. The same people did the same jobs, often by heredity. Now things move so fast it's entirely reasonable for kids to assume they may have a career path that doesn't yet exist. The pioneers of the previous generation who built up now well-established industries with their skilled colleagues are no longer on the edge. Their pool of applicants has changed because they have become the safe bet. The highly skilled youth are off elsewhere carving out their own niches.
I accidentally purchased homeopathic burn cream once.

The word homeopathic was written on it in VERY small print. It was sold right next to all the other burn creams.

It does happen.
I recently saved $800 dollars by repairing my SO's power steering system. Fortunately I found a PDF of the repair manual with every subsystem and procedure listed. I was able to find the exact assembly I needed to replace and got it shipped from Amazon. Her car is from 2001 so I was surprised to find they still sell the high pressure hose I needed.

Anyways, after about 150$ in parts and tools and 4 hours later, I had completely flushed her power steering, installed the new hose, brackets, etc. I even got to take a wheel off the car. It's incredibly satisfying to maintain a physical system like a car, everything has a purpose.
But from the perspective of developed countries, if the root of the problem is elsewhere, then no amount of recycling will solve it. There is no amount of recycling or elimination of plastics I can do in the US that will keep plastics dumped into rivers in developing countries from reaching the ocean.

Just to be clear, I support the use of paper and heavy-duty plastic bags for a fee, because they are less likely to be caught by the wind and can be reused for a long time. I abhor littering. But I do not support guilt trips over landfill use in developed countries with highly regulated landfill designs.
