If we want we could remove "master" from everyday usage:

master branch/copy - that's your main or primary

master degree - is now an expert degree

martial arts master - congratulations, you're a guru!

master bedroom - is now your main, great or grand bedroom (in fact it used to be called the main bedroom not that long ago)

skill mastery - you quashed it!

Should we make these changes? I don't know, I'm a white guy. What I do know is it's time to put an end to systemic racism. If making these seemingly small changes are enough to change people's worldview in a meaningful way then I think we should explore it. There's potentially a lot to gain for such seemingly trivial and small changes in word usage.
Isn't sexually attracted to you upon first meeting doesn't mean that they're not sexually attracted to you in the relationship.
I would be scared to date them. Dating partner that angry when denied what he wants means you will get abused, either verbally or physically and likely both.

And given strength difference between women and men, it is safer to be alone then with someone who is into outrage at 24 for not having partner yet.

>'On June 3rd 2020, it was announced by T1 that he has resumed his professional career but in Valorant - reuniting with ex-iBUYPOWER teammates Braxton "swag" Pierce and Keven "AZK" Larivière in the process.' (https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Skadoodle) //

If Valorant is less aim-based (I don't know) wouldn't that make sense for a retiree from a more aim-based game?

Also Valorant could have just paid a load of CSGO "names" to move to their games as part of their marketing.
Valorant appears to me to be an uninspired clone with a few gimmicks and a lot of marketing money behind it. It's the same way that LoL was a clone of DotA with extra marketing and a few gimmicks.

I don't understand why anyone knowledgeable would be installing a "free" game that includes a kernel level rootkit.

For passwords, you can use 1password or another password manager--that's pretty much solved at this point.

Secrets that are needed in server or development contexts are a lot trickier. There's a fundamental tension between making them widely and easily available (which makes development and ops easier), and restricting access (which is necessary for security). You'll also probably have multiple versions of the same secrets in different environments, have teams of developers that all need to stay in sync, etc. etc. Password management, as important as it is, has fewer moving pieces.

There's a large amount of debate over this issue. Whatever your opinion may be, the study doesn't seem to agree with it:

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...

Look at the chart for number of sexual partners reported by men and women by year. Honestly just read the study. It has data on many of the issues people are speculating about, including porn and what not.

If you were to believe that a small number of men are getting all of the sex at the expense of women, you would expect it to take a more bimodal shape with much fewer men getting 1 partner, some more getting 3+ and more getting 0. Instead we see the number of men getting 3+ declining over time and a big shift from 1 to 0.

Another important insight is that the rates of getting no sex drop significantly once you're a little older. Compare the 18-24 year olds to the 25-34 year olds to older. Looks like 25% drops down to 15% drops down to 5% in the most recent year.

Thinking of the male people I know who didn't get sex during college, it was mostly because they were busy doing other things or insecure.

It's entirely possible for women to favor only the top few men on dating sites but for this not to control the narrative of who gets sex and who doesn't. I'd go as far as to say it's likely it does not.
> Its not hard for a man to become attractive

Proceeds to list the most difficult things in life.
I wonder if polygamy is more of a loophole escape from sexual prohibitions. That is, people wanted to have sex with more partners but could not outside of marriage.

In an age where access to premarital sex is plentiful, I wonder what motivations, if any, there would be for these first-class men to marry more than one. Multiple marriages, it seems to me, would be more of a legal and financial liability.
I have the same confusion about the target audience but there are some interesting tidbits. Seems more like a brain dump.
Attaching devices to trees is actually a serious challenge that people are working on in order to provide better fire detection systems. Major obstacle is charging and there were, unsuccessful AFAIK, attempts to charge them using the energy provided by trees themselves.
It is interesting to see how many telcos have failed at building IoT connectivity products that work. If you work for one of these, feel free to reach out.

Men aren't sexually attracted to money at remotely the level women are. Surely you're aware of this? If not, there are plenty of studies pointing in this direction, plus an evolutionary explanation, plus mountains of anecdotal data that anyone with exposure to other people has.
And most women never had any privilege either, and often had much less in comparison. Besides, the same high caste people have always held the cards. It's just now that group just isn't exclusive to men in such high numbers.
It is a little bit, except this one is customizable, maintainable, and not phonish in any way. In particular, there is no "one ring to rule them all" App but rather there are very simple one-task applications (put one button to pair the left/right computer to the soundbar via Optical or Coax) and also some applications that are highly complex (e.g. multiple windows)

It is certainly not quite the same and I may be oversimplifying a bit, but war on drugs was partially started, because that generation was basically hungover and thought the youngins should just say no.

Please consider the varied cultural pressures that dissuade women from enjoying the same games that men "slink away" to play.

There is a reason that the social spaces these (presumably) undesirable men inhabit tend to have low numbers of approachable women.

Seems that way. It's actually offensive to suggest that such a person should be offended in the first place. It's a "we know better than you and you should be offended" attitude.
Nice analysis. For your unit economics calcs, their retention isn't 75%. That figure excludes customers that the company churns. When you include those figures into retention, the Year 1 retention is 62% and the overall 2 year retention is 44%.

(I work on the Zulip mobile app.)

If you run a Zulip server, you can have it send mobile notifications without needing to compile the mobile apps yourself. Lots of people do that, though their motivations may be different from the grandparent's.

This does mean sending the notifications through a central notification "bouncer" service which we run, and that page of our docs explains why the way Google and Apple have designed their push-notification systems makes this necessary.

We're working on end-to-end encryption of the push notifications:
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/6954
Once that's done, that will mean that the content can't be read by the bouncer service, nor by Google or Apple en route.
You can get a burger, or salad (usually with an option to add chicken) at any "American" restaurant. Does that fulfill your standard meal?
> If work is for work, then why do we keep bringing politics to the workplace?

There's a difference between politics in general, which by their nature spill over to all aspects of life (and IMO the only people who can pretend to think that politics doesn't affect them are the ones in the nexus of status quo where the current political environment helps them more than others), and allowing sexual advances in the workplace with the power relationships inherent in those interactions.

> I agree tho, work is for work. It's hard to draw the line when you spend at least 8 hours there, and go home keep working or checking slack and you build your whole life around your job/career..

For sure, this model is heavily predicated on a work/life balance.
Not without outright lying about your appearance. People on Tinder are appearance focussed. People in real life are much more likely to look past those things. It also depends a lot of the kind of nightclub you go to.
No I suppose I shouldn't have said I have economic standards for one night stands, but certainly looks and body type. Then again, to some degree, if a women is wearing old dingy boots and looks like she lives on the streets but is hot.. I wouldn't' sleep with her, and I would say that fits under the umbrella of economic standards, just being honest.
My recommendation, if you're staying at a hotel, is to ask if they have a BBQ for guest use. Most do, and then you can stop at the grocery store and buy some chicken/fish, some vegetables (also a roll of aluminum foil), and cook it on the bbq.

I travel quite a bit for work (at least, when there's no pandemic) and even though my per diem would cover restaurants, I have almost completely switched over to hotel BBQs and eat better for way less money.
I tried D some years ago, my naive program crashed as it wasn't memory safe. Being used to scala this was a surprising to me, I expected "if it compiles it works" but it turns out I had to take lifetimes into account just like c/c++. Rust has this "if it compiles it works" + quality.

Then I needed to create a program that would work both on android and Windows. Still liking D's syntax better funding rust rather verbose I decided to give it another try, but failed, I had to jump through too many hoops to make it produce a library usable on android. While with rust the experience was effortless.

After both experiences with D, I never looked back to it and rust is now my go to low level system language, the verboseness (with lifetimes and types) has grown on me.
Yes more censorship is what we need.

There was a lot more raping and pillaging back then, I assume. What's your point?
No mention of ketosis, which uses vastly different metabolic pathways. It transmits energy without using glucose - instead using ketone bodies like acetone. It's very likely that this was a frequent (perhaps the most frequent) state occupied by our megafauna-hunting ancestors.
None of the things listed are difficult at all. They take willpower and time, of course, but they aren't rocket science.
It is normal, but the only successful societies have been the ones that resolve this issue in such a way that most men can find a sexual partner.

> What about the other economic factors?

This would be true if women also demonstrated a decline in sex. However, women are having sex at the same rate as men.

The problem is not economic. It's winner-take-all as the top comments mention.

The causal reason cannot apply to men and women equality (eg, economic). It must overwhelmingly affect men.
Did I understand your point correctly, that you think that having less teen sex is a good thing?

Also that it is ok to ruin young people's lives for having sex outside of apartments or hotel rooms?
This is awesome! This should be crowdsourced like piaware...
> 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 generally agree with this, but then again, I'm also generally wary of taxation for the same reason: nobody should be required to give money to somebody else via the state.

> When I was in the military, a key tactic of camouflage was to never, under any circumstances, expose yourself on a hilltop or similar, where your silhouette could be easily identified. A dark blob on a light background is far easier for the human eye to see, than the reverse.

I don’t think this is a good example. He is missing one important factor, which is lighting.

There is a back-light on screen, which make light colors pop out of the dark background.

While at night, since it’s in a low-light environment, our eyes can’t really see the colors.

Sheet pan roasted stuff is a great lazy meal that the grandparent comment was discussing.

Our personal favorite sheet pan meal is: chopped red onion, chopped bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, box of dry gnocchi. Toss it all with a bit of oil and salt and pepper, and whatever seasoning you may want, spread on baking sheet and bake for a while until veggies look tasty.

Serve with a few shreds of parm or other hard cheese.

5 minutes to prep, 20-30 min to cook. A bowl to wash, and it's mostly veggies and the components sub out really easily for anything you have in your fridge.
People are unhappy when reality doesn’t meet expectations, and so if you grew up with the expectation that your children will grow up in a house and backyard and whatever else, and you can’t attain it, then you will be unhappy.

Technically, you can raise children in a war torn country, since it obviously has happened for many millennia. But with the advent of birth control, it’s much easier to choose.
Exactly! No-fat is a strange concept. Fat is not inherently bad, too much added fat is. But I'm pretty sure you can eat 500mg of natural good yogurt a day without being sick. Well, I never tried.

It's not hard. The whole "pick-up artist" thing did work. The classic book, by the way, is "Scoremanship", by Frank Grey. He was a salesman who'd had formal sales training, and realized that standard sales techniques could be repurposed for dating. That's less silly than the later stuff like "The Game".

The history of social constructs and law has been about constraining and enabling "market" participants. Free will doesn't come into it unless you live in an anarchy.

Sometimes those social changes have good results, sometimes bad.

Here there is a clear social ill that has been dismissed for years whenever it is raised in edge fora - perhaps with studies like this being publicised in respectable publications we will begin to look at what we can do to improve the lot of a significant marginalised group.
How does a flat $79/mo price make sense? Many small companies that could use this don't have that much worth of cancellations in a month assuming something like this will save them all. Medium-small and larger companies could justify paying much more than that. You need to have some kind of flexibility here. I'm thinking if you don't have more than $500 in monthly cancellations you would never be able to break even on something like this.
Those are the two routes I took, I can't explain why it was much more than $30.

The funny thing is that eating rice isn't even that old of a tradition, and neither is eating it in polished, white form. White rice only became ubiquitous when milling technology improved, and spoilage of the oils in brown rice became a concern for storage.

> Despite its long history in Japan rice was, for a long time, a food reserved for the warriors and the nobility. It was consumed by the majority of the population only from the seventeenth century onwards, not becoming the basis of Japanese food until the early twentieth century

https://www.japan-experience.com/to-know/chopsticks-at-the-r...

> A disproportionate share of the rice crop was therefore consumed in the cities and by the political and economic elite, while the diet of much of the rural population continued to depend on the availability of a range of other grains – wheat, millet, barley, etc. – together with vegetables, fruit, pulses and occasional fish or game, grown at home or collected in the locality.

If I didn't care what you wrote, I would not have replied to explain why your concern doesn't matter.

I did not repeat the argument. Let me explain it differently:

Let's say that on average N% of people give a project a star because they're active users and (100-N)% give a star for any other reason. There is no reason to assume that N will be significantly different for similar projects. I don't know N, but it doesn't matter how big N is, more stars still imply more active users.

Is there going to be variance here? Of course, but it's unlikely to distort the metric to the point where it becomes invalid, unless you have very samples (stars).

Indeed, if there's one project with 10 stars and another with 5 stars, the chances are high that it's just noise. You cannot get a good estimate of which project has more active users in that case. However, you can tell that neither are popular and both are risky dependencies.
Well-designed type systems tend to show up in functional languages for good reason, especially if we restrict ourselves to small languages. It's much easier to make coherent typing rules in languages with clean semantics.

Yeah, this is a complaint that a contract they signed had a clause they didn't like. Which...tough? You always have the option to not attend the trade show, or try to negotiate the contract. Sounds like they publicized the rules well in advance; I'm not sure what the point of the whinge is here.
