>or even ask them to put some money down, before proceeding.

Yep. Just look at mature markets like housing. You don't see anyone wasting time without a deposit, which will be kept if the buyer doesn't go through with the closing.

Won't put down a earnest money deposit? They aren't serious. For all you know the do this knowing they won't pull the trigger, but to justify their job/identifying an opportunity, then being the hero when they "find something off" and save the company from a bad deal (which they manufactured in the first place)

> Depressed, committing suicide or just doing nothing. But apparently nobody cares.

We've had a decade+ of men being told they're useless oppressors, who've earned nothing for themselves, whose "time is up", and that they haven't a place in the future. Couple that with the loss of shared identity in general, the breakdown of the family, the bias in the divorce process, the disappearance of purposeful work and more and it's no surprise that we're in the situation we're in now.

The ever-changing "ideals" and "values" we're building modern society on are as brittle as a house of cards.

A note: I'm a happily married man with a career I enjoy and am optimistic for my own future, so the above isn't coming from some sense of ingrained / developed resentment, merely observation.

Probably because they're seen as socially acceptable behavior, and are readily available for anyone to purchase.
There are ~5% more males by birth, ~100% more males by Visa, and ~40% more males by illegal immigration.
I doubt the exclusion of farming positions is arbitrary, the area is full of self/family employment and illegal employment that probably caused the exclusion. It does paint a false narrative though.
>perhaps in ways that men are expected to seem "confident" or "strong" or "independent" which I think can be stiffing.

Yep, and women demand this too: many women's dating profiles talk about how they want a guy who's "confident but not cocky", who "makes a plan" for dates, who "takes the lead", etc. Basically, American women want hyper-masculine men who look like George Clooney (when younger), but then they sit around complaining about "toxic masculinity" and how they're mistreated by men.

>The typical men's section of a clothing store normalizes a lot more conservative wardrobes compared to women.

Men's fashion is truly horrible compared to women's fashion. Men basically have the choice of either a stuffy suit that look like it hasn't changed in a century and is completely impractical, or baggy pants and a baggy hoody. Women get all kinds of choices in clothes, including lots which show off their bodies, while men's clothes are basically designed to hide our bodies completely and look as boring as possible. I guess that's helpful if you're fat, but if you're athletic and toned, it's really not.

The camera on a $1000 iPhone is not good enough? For what? For whom? The cameras on mid range smartphones are amazing, these days. A $150 China phone or $250 West phone is great these days. It is basically adequate for a whole lot of use cases, including normal day to day usage.

Citing papers which aren't yet published by their arxiv numbers is routine. (And, before 1991, people did the same using the author's institute's preprint numbers.) If they have appeared in a journal by the time yours is accepted by a journal, then you should add the journal info too. (Although many journals now allow you to leave the arxiv numbers as an additional part of each reference.)
That's exactly what I thought. I think this highlights the extreme inefficiency in the "normal" process unfortunately.
What is/was the site?
Ultimately any conclusion has an actual argument and reasoning behind it, even if the proponent isn't choosing to share it. The reasoning may be faulty, but the proponent is at least under the impression that their conclusion is rational from their own perspective. The proponent might use the argument itself to persuade, or use something other than the argument, for instance appealing to authority or emotion.

A fact can't be misleading; it's the argument that uses it that might be misleading. So this really just points to us keeping up our abilities to ferret out the actual arguments and using critical thinking to oppose them if they are invalid.
This is probably my most confusing slew of downvotes. What do you think, I own a plantation of rubber trees? I thought it was surprising and interesting that something invented ~100 years ago would be an optimal choice in a thriving market full of recent patents. Ah well.

Looking at the video and comparing this to videos of UAV's being shot down with Stinger shoulder mounted surface to air missiles it looks very close to identical.

I don't think this was a big missile system like the Patriot or anything. Airlines have checklists and back-n-forth with air traffic control to set their transponder and any air traffic control worth anything would be keeping track of any heavy aircraft leaving their airports which there are reports that no call of trouble was mentioned by the airliner so that means they've already reviewed the ATC tapes.

It could have been an abnormally nervous missile platoon in possession of stingers (or similar) told to be on the alert for air to ground attacks and maybe something spooked them or they were targeting the airliner like others have mentioned and someone pulled the trigger unintentionally.
>One of the arsonists caught was a firefighter, who's presumably plenty educated on the risks of starting a fire.

It is my personal belief that this person intended to start the fire and managed to become a firefighter in order to try to not get caught and wasn't a firefighter for 10 years and all of a sudden decided to go rogue.

I could very well be wrong, and I do not disagree with you, society will always have crazy/evil people who want to do harm for whatever reasons and education will do nothing for those people. However I think a lot of the 'arson' wasn't intentional but was people camping, smoking or doing other things which education can help prevent.
India and China both have a problem with large numbers of unemployed or under employed young men. I bring that up because recently there has been lots of talk about WWIII, but many people say that China, for example, would stay out of it. But, what if they saw it as a solution to their abundance of young men problem? Yikes.
Of course. Every day matters. That’s why I want to have more quality in my days. I don’t want to grow old in an aging deteriorating physical shell. Others may feel different and that’s ok.

I want life and experiences. I want to be able to control and maintain and manage my shell while still retaining the inner core of me.

Because the inner core changes if the body fails us. Women know this and feel this more acutely than men. Because. Biology.

It seems like these days men are competing with other men for resources just like women had to compete with men for resources. That’s what an overpopulated with fixed or shrinking resources/land mass will do to you.

It does feel like the tide of public opinion might be turning from "too uncritical" to "too critical".

Supervisors also have more skin in the game so, quite trivially, making the supervisor responsible also means it's inherently easier to enforce that policy! The fact that they'd try to shift that burden onto the subordinate just tells you how much they care about following the rules, i.e. not at all.
It is likely that many people overweight are already ashamed and it helps absolutely nothing to attempt to further pile onto that negativity.

Sorry, but no amount of "truth telling" in this way will come off as anything but being an arse. I'm sure you have your own selfish actions and your own ways of "taking a toll on society". This post reeks of a special kind of arrogance, whether you intend it or not. Your flawed analogy makes it worse. Why not just equate it with smoking itself- instead of something like a house burning down?

It's far more complicated than "person does selfish thing and hurts society because of it". Your post speaks like someone that has never had to lose weight or break out of an addiction.

I don't say any of this to attack you but just how ridiculous and supremely unhelpful this line of thinking is. It's like telling someone to just snap out of depression, or "just stop smoking", or whatever. It's not as simple and devoid of nuance as you'd like to believe.

And trust me, as someone that has gained and lost weight both, the last thing that matters to me is something external and abstract like my effect-in-the-aggregate on society. I'm far more interested in feeling healthier, sleeping better, and gaining the personal benefits from it. The same goes for most people, I would think, and no amount of philosophizing about society will change that.
"Open source" is very much a technical term with a very precise definition.

Microsoft knew this when they wanted to jump on the bandwagon and named their own license "Shared Source Initiative" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Source_Initiative). It wasn't open source, it was "Shared Source", because it didn't comply with the definition of open source.

Sure, you could definitely argue that the EU’s strict environmental regulations make European auto manufacturers less competitive. On the other hand, these regulations are designed to promote social good, not the wellbeing of the manufacturers, and I think the laws are pretty much working in that regard by allowing Tesla to expand more quickly and forcing other automakers to take EV production more seriously. To be fair though, EU lawmakers probably didn’t foresee how long it would take for European automakers to jump on the EV bandwagon, and how much these regulations would help foreign competitors gain a foothold on their continent.
From the Bureau of Labor Statistics: "All employees"

So I'll hazard a guess about a change in what part of those mining and logging industries hired: less manual workers and more office ones as they get consolidated into bigger conglomerates. But I may be wrong.

> It's not uncommon to read comments on Hacker News or twitter from men feeling that they seen as less valid for doing less traditional activities[2][3] (eg: caring for children, prioritizing their careers less, being less traditionally forward, etc.) and I think society is going to need to change to acknowledge this better for both men and women.

That is an interesting angle. What do you think is going to change, and what is going to cause it to change?

I travel to mainland China very frequently for my company, however I don't pay taxes there so maybe my opinion should be weighed a little differently.

The people I talk generally genuinely are really happy with the regime though. People respect the hell out of Xi, and faith in the central government combined with the Maoist nationalism that still prevails as the dominant form of identity for most mainland Chinese you see the average citizen that really has no criticisms of the government.

I've had conversations with Chinese people before about the American bipartisan system and free speech vs the Chinese counterparts and usually they come to this conclusion: "Americas system works for America, Chinas system works for China. If people could say whatever they want here there would be much more trouble, if there were multiple competing political parties they would be at each others throats in a way that makes Americas current polarization look like a beautiful political climate".

Let what works for China continue to work for China, and what works for us continue to work for us. People, cultures, and ideas are different depending on where and how you were raised. The ideas that made the west great don't necessarily work for everyone.

> Some are living in their parents basement until they're 30 to 40.

I understand this is considered a bad thing, and it makes sense at a societal level, but honestly it sounds like a pretty amazing life. Maybe that would have been boring and depressing pre-internet, but it seems pretty good now.

I know one dude who essentially grifted his way into the disability system, and I've watched him go from an anxious mess to a budding artist, literally living in his mom's basement. All he does is read the internet, take classes, and paint. His art keeps getting better. If he lives in his parent's basement for another decade, he might emerge as a great artist. Frankly, I'm kind of jealous.

The obvious down side is that he has a hard time finding a date, and family interaction is not optional. IMO those are both relatively minor penalties for a lifetime of freedom.

The real inexplicable thing here is how parents are letting this happen? I was never under any illusion that I'd be able to receive indefinite support from my parents, and society has given me every possible indication that this isn't an acceptable strategy.

Maybe we need an acceptable way for people who can't mentally handle work to be able to exist in society.
It's been the same situation in Ecuador for a while. In some cities it's tolerated, in others the police have cracked down by calling Ubers and handing out large fines when the car arrives.

Exactly: this is what I've found with my younger coworkers. I played video games a lot when I was young, but it wasn't that much of a social thing because the internet wasn't commonly available (we had BBSes) and the games were all single-player DOS or console (NES/SNES) games. Now it seems video games are a social outlet for men under 30, and as you said it's what they talk about in person a lot too, unlike TV.

Bite-size coding challenge: implement if/else in JavaScript without `if` or `?:`
Here's a bit of Friday fun for you: your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to implement if/then logic in JavaScript without using `if` or the ternary operator `?:`.

Implement a function with the following signature:

````
function ifThenElse(cond, trueFn, falseFn) { }
````

If `cond` is truthy, execute `trueFn`, otherwise execute `falseFn`. `ifThenElse` should not have a return value.

Here's a gist that contains a very tiny test harness:
