Holy crap haha. You're blind and living in a nice little bubble.
Back in a day, quite some time ago, I started screwing around when I was 16. Most of the parents were quite conservative so they didn't allow kids to do it at their places where we, kids, lived, at least not to their knowledge. But we used every occasion to do it while they were at work. Or at birthdays and other home parties. In parks. At the graveyards. On roofs. In basements. Any place where we could get half an hour without people passing by.

I think I never had as much sex as when I didn't have my own apartment. The decline started after I finally got it, in my late twenties :)

So while I understand that not having your own place or financial stability can affect people's will to start a family, I tink it's too early to start to worry about it before at least late twenties. Until then, if people don't screw around on a daily, or at least best-effort basis, something is screwed with their chemistry.
Marriage is also becoming stratified by economic class. Poorer Americans used to marry at the same rate as wealthy Americans, but that changed in 2008. Since then poorer Americans are significantly less likely to get married than their richer peers.
A lot of guys are complaining in the thread, with undertones of an expectation of sex

Most likely reason I see that would cause this data: the immense social pressure applied to straight women has lessened in the 21st century. A straight woman won't be ostricized at 25 if they don't "have a man." The data suggests that young straight men aren't having as much sex. I postulate that the only reason is that straight men need to work harder to impress empowered straight women. And that the overwhelming majority aren't even trying.
The status quo doesn’t negatively impact educated women, it impacts educated women who refuse to date men of lower educational attainment.
I'm a high earner in tech like I imagine many people on the forum, and also like many people on the forum my life is super busy. My last relationship ended really badly took like two years to get over it and then I was suddenly really busy and I've kept being really busy as my titles have changed and my personal interest in starting my own business has increased etc etc and now we're in a pandemic.

I'd argue that there's a whole group of young guys who are just so freaking busy and not really in a place where they can meet a bunch of single women, like I don't even know where I'd put a significant other in my life at the moment.

I guess that compounds because I don't drink really so I'm not going to bars and my personal hobbies are reading, hiking and coding and trying to get a company off the ground so It doesn't really lend itself to meeting people either.

At this rate I've been single for 4-5ish years and if if my life and the world keeps up I can see another 5 years ahead but hey I make more than most people I know, got a senior title pretty young and if I can make it work I'll be running my own business before 30.

Edit: And I'll add I've been told I look like Ethan Hawke and can be pretty funny in the right mood so I'd say I'm doing alright in looks and personality.

Sure. But given that women and gay men does not seem to be affected, I'd suspect that this is involuntary abstinence for a lot of these men.
People need to feel close to others around them. Not just by texting, talking on the phone, and video chatting. But actual physical acts of love. People who do not receive hugs are statistically more likely to be unhappy and otherwise mentally unhealthy.

So yes, sex is not a necessity. But physical intimacy of some form certainly is.
True, but there's not that many as a percentage of their age cohort [1], and egg/embryo freezing combined IVF is no guarantee you can carry a fetus to term [2]. Maybe you can afford a surrogate (~$30k-120k depending on the arrangements), but the math continues to work against you as you age. This is the unfortunate medical reality, that you can buy possibilities but not guarantees. The amount of wealth you need to "hack" a family together (biologically and a support system after birth) in older age is significant.

Rendering the contracts that unions sign with employers unenforceable is pretty much the definition of union busting.

It's explicitly about preventing two consenting parties (union + employer) from freely entering into a contract.

Oddly enough there are some (libertarians) people who consider the right to enter into a contract freely pretty sacrosanct, but I've yet to hear one complain about this law.
Does it? It has been over 20 years. Should a creator be able to profit indefinitely off a single work? 20 years is long enough for a patent to expire. The fact that copyright outlasts patents is really just a corruption bug in our legal system.
The biggest problem with his Greta Thunberg comment is that he started it with a lie. He did say it to be provocative. There are other ways he could have made the same point without being offensive, but then it would have been an uncontroversial opinion.

From the JAMA article that all this data comes from:

That's similar to saying that technology isn't about liberating the worker, but rendering most of the work force obsolete and only hiring the top 20% of performers. Your freedom does not compel anybody to be in a relationship with you, just like your freedom does not require somebody to hire you.

I agree that there are larger societal changes at play, but saying this isn't strictly more free than before isn't painting the picture honestly.
Enforced monogamy doesn't mean what you think it does. Catholics, for example, have enforced monogamy as part of their culture. Most Western cultures have (or did until recently) similar norms. It's talking about cultural pressures, not literal force. Even the wokest cultural groups have their own forms of "enforced" norms.
Incels are not representation of guys without sex in general. They are people who are angry and hateful.

Dating any of these would be profoundly bad idea. It is better for a woman to be alone then to be with someone who has opinions of incel.
I think the cause is very obvious, and I assume other people do to, but it's the kind of thing I would never actually say in the real world.

Before the internet women didn't get hit on by thousands of men before their 21st birthday. Now that they do, they can be more picky in choosing partners, so fewer (hopefully higher quality) men are having sex.
Yes, there is clearly a relationship between thinking “Greta has an opinion on climate change that I agree with” and “pedophiles are ok”.

I’m glad that he brings this valued point to the discussion and I’m thankful someone so impartial brings this up during the very important “Agree with scientific consensus on climate change == agree with pedophillia” debate.
A lot of those top 10% men are going polyamorous, and so you have an uptick in complaints from women about finding a monogamous guy. I've seen it on Tinder and Reddit. The thing is, the vast majority of men are still monogamous. They're just ignored and unacknowledged by most women.
Or a single's meetup, or the coffee shop, or running into someone at the same aisle of the bookstore, or smiling at someone at the park...

The core here is that you don't mix sexual propositions and the (even potential future) power relationships inherent with work for pay.
That's not how it's worked out in any society where family formation has been limited for large numbers of young men. The research on the calming effect of family formation on young men is very straightforward: when a population of young men doesn't have the opportunity to form families, _they_ become the powder keg. It's true at multiple scales, from individual criminality to societal unrest.
Now the $1000 question would be, if you pay for the context switching of BOTH threads and asyncio, having 5 processes, which each 20 threads, within each an event loop, what happens?

Is the price of the context switching too high, or are you compensating the weakness of each system, by handling I/O concurrently in async, but smoothing the blocking code outside of the await thanks to threads?

Making a _clean_ benchmark for would it be really hard, though.
You think a young heterosexual man who wants to have sex and doesnt get it is happy?
Social media has led to a huge amount of female worship and has certainly put women them on a pedestal. The average 20-year-old (my age group) woman thinks she can land a Jeff Bezos, while the average 20-year-old male has little confidence he can get anything at all.
Can confirm, the two universes thing is real. It isn’t new though.
The sexual revolution was about freedom and bodily autonomy: your existence is about more than being a sexual plaything. You can be a doctor, a professor, a factory worker, or a housewife. But the most important part is having the power to make that decision for yourself.

> If I said the above out in the open I would lose my job

Erm no, not quite. Maybe this part:

> the sexual revolution was never about free love or sexual freedom, it was about womens rights to sleep with the few men they are all attracted to

Women should not have their rights limited because some men feel that they are obligated to have sex with them.

Sure man, if only things were as great as in the 50s, women just loved it back then when there was no "unrest".
You give people freedom and choice and some people make bad decisions. Some women are like you described, while some aren't. Tons of women don't really enjoy hookups, not even with "alpha" males, but want a serious relationship. And some do love doing that. I do think most women have a pretty short "casual sex" period in their lives and the rest is trying to find a real relationship.
Everything there now just says censored. Now I'm really curious...

I am unable to see the contradiction. If Greta was indeed guiding global policy (which she's not even remotely close to doing) there would exist very strong incentive to manipulate her and the aggregate potential harm would greatly exceed that of a single instance of child abuse.

It's indeed a total strawman on the face of it, but I think the actual point he's making is that forbidden thoughts exists and the replies on Twitter are a proof of that point imo.

Matthias's brother here. Handy by general standards, but two left hands by the standards of Matthias and our dear departed dad. The most important thing about starting woodworking: Have something you want to make, and no exaggerated expectations. Example from real life: Want a little wall shelf for salt and pepper etc. for over the kitchen table. At the time I had no planer or circular saw, just a ragtag assortment of tools. But you can do a reasonably square cut with a small garage sale bandsaw, and I had a hand plane that was reasonably sharp, and a random board actually looked really nice once I planed it and put a clear varnish on it. Presto, shelf. What's there to lose from trying? http://wandel.ca/pic.cgi?a09614c7

Actually I think I also had one of those "Miter box" type guided hand saws, and used that to make the square cuts. If I were starting out now, I'd get a decent handheld circular saw and improvise a jig to make a clean crosscut with it. That too can be fun experimentation and construction lumber is cheap material.

Later wanted to hang a lamp over the table, and going all the way to the ceiling and back with the cable, for a lamp this low, didn't seem right. So added a stick of wood to an IKEA shelf bracket, and: http://wandel.ca/pic.cgi?4db2d897

The key is not to kick myself because I can't do as good a job as my brother or my dad, but rather take pleasure in what I can do.
men are content to date down, women are not

This misses a fundamental point that has been made clear since the advent of Tinder and the like.

The terrible experience and loneliness of men not in the top 20% on those apps is because the women on them are not content to date on their level, or even below several rungs above them. Let alone "date down". I've seen this happen with multiple friends of mine, decent (not nerds but not alpha) guys who have to swipe hundreds for a single match. It's absurd.

This is the great unsayable (in correct society) that has actually been said loudly for years in masculinist fora, most viciously and notoriously by the incels.

The adage is that in environments like dating apps, 80% of women go for 20% of men.

Exaggeration or no, there is real truth there that society needs to wake up to if it has any care at all for the mental and emotional health of men.
That's the thing, you're talking about 'back in your day', but this article suggests a major demographic shift.
As a young person, I just open doors for everyone, because it's a nice thing to do.

There's no reason to restrict nice things to people based on gender and it can be viewed as patronizing to do so.
It seems pretty clearly targeted at the insecurities of incels, what with your, 10% or perhaps 3-5%, comments - all based on your anecdotal experiences with your own two eyes.
Thanks for the detailed response. This critique of maths just doesn't resonate with me at all, though.

>that it is logically possible for this to happen means our foundations/definitions/models are all screwed up

Why? Simply because it feels unintuitive to you? Where is the useful alternative proposed by this theory? Is there any sound definition of what is 'metaphysically real' and why there is any reason to dismiss things which are not?

For example consider FLT - the proof surely uses fields and concepts with countless 'absurdities' inside them. And yet it proved something quite real and tangible. Consider that there may be no alternative proof of FLT. In that case, doesn't that validate those absurd concepts and give them a reality of their own that doesn't require any 'metaphysical' form? They have revealed a truth about the physical natural numbers we can all understand. To me that gives them a very compelling 'realness'.

Of course it could be that you can throw out all the absurd definitions and still build a useful enough system to prove such things - I am sure people have tried. Maybe the point is that not enough people have tried?

I am sure if I am whipped or faced with a shock collar I could also be measurably 'productive'. It's pretty evident the reasons why feelings trump productivity then.

> But they do not see them as equals, as they have been having casual sex with men way out of their league for years.

This is the part of this whole theory that I don't really get -- why would these presumably superficial men bother sleeping with women "way below their league" when they could be sleeping with women in, or at least near, their "league" all the time? Is the novelty of a constant huge supply of new partners really that important vs. having a slightly smaller rotation of people in "your league"?
Overall, I think the whole reactive programming style such as node and async python are mistakes at this point. They come at too high a cost for code complexity and maintainability. Synchronous style was always superior with only one flaw, using OS threads.

But now there are solutions both existing and upcoming such as Go and Java Project Loom that fix that one flaw. I don't see much appeal in the reactive style at this point.
Facts are facts, but I do think the underlying dynamics are more complicated than what you laid out. The way people are being exposed to sexuality growing up is also changing, and that plays a big part in behavioral patterns.

One thing I suspect is that there isn't much of a trend of people becoming more educated about sex, sexuality, and sexual psychology in today's hyper-aware world. If anything, it might be the opposite.
> If marriage rates are falling, I doubt it’s because of economic hardship (hundred years ago we had much worse financial outcome for people).

Absolute levels of economic hardship are not relevant. What matters is the lifestyle people are comparing themselves to, usually a minimum set to the quality of life that they had.

With more volatility in labor market, and dual income households being a necessity to attain that minimum quality of life, I can certainly see a reason to not get into a relationship.

I would opt against kids (and marriage as a result) if I didn’t think I could close to 100% provide for them and their healthcare/shelter/education in good areas.
Regardless of the real quantity, society will blame all sexless men for their lack of sex because to acknowledge any other reality would mean that something is wrong with how we are dating.
Some other, less toxic police force during the transition seems totally fine to me. Didn't State Troopers also take over at some point in Ferguson?

I don't know what state troopers in Minnesota or Washington are like, but having them step in during the transition while those cities rebuild healthier police forces, sounds like a reasonable idea.

Though I'm not convinced it will actually be disastrous to do without police, or with dramatically reduced police, for a short period.
Value judgements of males who are unable to find sexual partners and ultimately life partners not-withstanding...

1) Civil society is much improved by encouraging as many stable partnerships between pairs of humans as possible.

2) Child rearing within intact families leads to significantly better outcomes on average than single parent households.

3) Societies with lower birth rates suffer financial/economic difficult in properly supporting their elderly populations.

"Someone" didn't give the name a bad rep, and I'm not the one changing its definition. The entire incel movement changed the definition by giving itself a bad rep.

If you want to take 'incel' back and try to reclaim its neutrality and separate it from the toxicity of the culture, you'll have as much luck as someone trying to claim the alt-right movement isn't really about racism, even though racists have been all over it since the beginning.
Well, I work in embedded systems. They tend toward C++ on higher-end systems and C on lower end. So it's your wireless router, your printer, your car, your washing machine, the medical devices at your hospital... all over the place.

But embedded is maybe 10% of code. Where else is it used? I'm not as sure of that, but the TIOBE index indicates that it's used pretty heavily.

I'm outside of that world, but I think that high-performance computing sometimes uses C++, because controlling memory alignment is a big deal there, and C++ does that pretty well.

The origin story of Go says that Google has a lot of C++, but that was a decade ago. I can't speak to how much new C++ is being written there.

Perhaps one way of looking at it would be to look at the membership of the C++ standards committee, and subtracting the language vendors. The rest are users.
