The "gap" is largely irrelevant because what women find attractive is different to what men find attractive. Physical appearance isn't as important to women as it is to men. Being funny, earning well, having your life together, being confident etc is what does it for most women which is why young girls often end up dating 50 year old men.

I've gone through stretches where I was working out, doing pushups every day, etc. In the end it didn't make much difference. I found as the years passed I was able to date progressively more and more beautiful women, often to my great surprise, in the sense that I was tending to think they were 'out of my league' right up to the point we started dating. I'm not a particularly buff or good looking man by the standards presented to us in movies: quite average really. But women really respond to warm, funny confidence, the ability to entertain them and coming across as smart but not intellectually arrogant (probably they use it as a proxy for earnings potential).

I'm now fortunate to be engaged to the most beautiful women I've ever met, who in addition is calm, logical, self-reliant and self employed, funny, sweet and generous. We're head over heels in love. For years I thought it might never happen, because I searched for a long time and dated many girls in a search for love that never seemed to arrive (except once, but it was an unrequited love).

By far, the most important factor in me being able to get this girl was not physical appearance, in fact she told me that she finds buff guys unattractive because she associates it with cold and dumb guys who spend all their time working out, meaning they have nothing to say. What let me get her was years of refining my skills in what women start wanting once they're older than about 25.
Even on a mobile device it's neat
Well done

Really scripts should avoid called `cd` or `pushd`/`popd` wherever possible. It's a lot better to just work with absolute directories, i.e. as someone else pointed out:

The client handset's location is not determined by the power. It's determined by timing. Higher power would only give more basestations ability to receive your signal and add greater resolution to their position solution.
Before I learned vim all those years ago, it was really convenient to use Kate with fish (sftp) to "mount" and edit remote files.

I would use this to edit HTML, CSS, and JS (and later PHP) on my FreeBSD servers which hosted my websites.

Once I learned revision control (hg mercurial) I largely stopped modifying files directly on the remote host so I had less of a need for an sftp client built into my text editor.
No. You might want to check your browser defaults. There isn't any custom styling to those underlines.
I can't think of any difference if you're trapping both with the same handler. Probably only if you want a separate handler for ERR vs EXIT.
Add fibers and you'll mitigate most of the issues. E.g. a good vegetable-based sauce with the pasta, "e via".
These are characteristic talebian points (it's good that you read a Cliff's Notes, I read the whole thing and what a pompous gasbag) but there isn't much that's specifically talebian to what you said.

People make predictions because they judge that it's better to have bad predictions than none at all. The probable error in prediction (e.g. the "cone of uncertainty" that becomes wider and wider as you go into the future in the simplest, best-performing econometric models) is somewhat undersold, but the general understanding is that this is still a Pareto improvement.

Bicycle helmets are also no good if you get hit by a truck.
It is great, well done.

As someone who always used an advanced GUI texteditor (such as Notepad++ on Windows), Kate was the ideal choice for me when switching to Linux desktop.

Kate is my daily driver for +10yrs now. I could never find the time to learn vim or emacs. Kate just has everything I need, such as regexp/escape search&replace or block cursor mode editing. And for anything I cannot do in Kate, I'm using some quick scripting with inline perl or bash.

Thank's to KIOSlaves (what's the 2020 name for that?), editing files on remote hosts is just an sftp://.... away. This usually works fine on stable connections (on unstable connections, mosh+vim will give a better usage experience).
It's not about whether the hospitals are private or not, it's whether you know the price beforehand and can make an informed choice - the most basic thing about the free market.
Did not expect to see Apache Beam mentioned as part of this conversation. Mind me asking what you mean?
Ad fraud... How exactly is this my problem as a consumer? This sounds pretty much like a "you" (ad networks and advertisers) problem... So why should you be allowed to spy on me - who never defrauded any advertisers - to fix your problem?
HP Reverts Decision to End 'Free Ink for Life' Subscription Plan

I should be given the choice to turn it on though. I understand Apple not wanting to deal with the annoying customer who forgets their password, loses everything, and blames Apple. I’ve seen enough forgotten password people while waiting at the Genius Bar to sympathize with Apple. But just because some of their customers can’t handle the responsibility doesn’t mean none of their customers should have the option. I encrypt my hard drive despite Apple’s warnings about FireVault. I understand the risk, have weighed the pros and cons, and have taken steps to mitigate the risk.
We did daily backups to a second machine keeping the last 3. When it corrupted itself we copied it all back. I liked sourcesafe. It was kind of cool the way it worked and integrated into all the MS tooling we used at that time. Plus it was decently cheap enough for a small inhouse group of devs to afford. Its semantics for usage were very straightforward and easy to learn. BUT it was a pain for how it would corrupt itself randomly. That 'one' bug is why no one dares use it today and hates the thing. To this day because of how easy it was to use I compare the UX of all other source controls to it.

Yes, I have no doubt that that preliminary research in part or wholly originated from universities. Big Pharma should get this recognition anyway because as you said: "Pharma refined it, applied it to covid and creating the distribution infrastructure"

Don't worry though. Time would never give this award to Big Pharma, as evidenced by the fact they gave it to Biden/Harris, one of the most milquetoast tickets in recent history, in a year where the first big pandemic in a century is ravaging the world. I'm also surprised they didn't go down the feel-good route of giving it to frontline healthcare workers, but Trump is a bigger deal, apparently.
Sure but why does it matter that one is above average? I can’t think of one situation that isn’t contrived that involves this piece of information. That physicist doesn’t need that info to do research or accomplish great things.
Your best bet is probably to just do all the processing locally in the browser. The issue is 1) from most end users' perspectives, they have no idea if it's actually running locally or talking to a server, or how to verify it, or probably what that difference even means in the first place, so a skeptical user won't necessarily gain that much additional peace of mind, and 2) hypothetically a compromise could still result in the local data being siphoned off by an attacker. The latter's still a risk for regular desktop applications, but a bit less so (since you can get a signed binary).

The homomorphic encryption approach probably isn't worth the effort. There's always going to be a trade-off between doing something useful and sufficiently/securely obfuscating/anonymizing the data. So I'd recommend the local approach, with a prominent explanation of how you don't and can't see any of the data.
Show HN: PCUI – User interface component library for the web
Wow, nice, since my app is focused on privacy, this could become a huge marketing bonus.

However, the questionaire seems quite complicated. I ask for the email adress and Apple wants to know if I connect the email address with the identity of a user. However, what does that even mean? I have no identity of a user except the email address.
As a non-lawyer, one of the first things I realized after starting my first business years ago was that I really wished I'd gone to law school.

The Fate of Boston Dynamics
I used Kate fulltime up to the moment that I moved away from KDE due to the KDE3.0 fiasco. I took that moment to finally really learn Vim.

Kate is lightweight yet versatile; despite what the screenshots might suggest. This is due to the extremely well-done integration in KDE: for example, the file browser is (was?) really just the file browser konqueror from KDE, Kate has to do hardly anything for that, just "wrap" it. Same for syntax highlighting, terminal, snippets, keybindings, windows chrome, and so on. Kate is really mostly a neat wrapper around a lot of existing KDE parts and libs (and that is an achievement, I don't mean that negatively).

With Vim, I often say "Unix is my IDE", with Kate that could be translated to "the Desktop Environment is your IDE".

Yeah you might want to do a little more research on that topic as you clearly have no idea what your talking about.

Incidentally did you know that web browsers tell certificate authorities about every website you visit that uses TLS with support for OCSP stapling.
Consider that up until they implemented it, they allowed it, and people still bought phones. I don’t think people care. I think people will be happy, but I don’t think it matters one way or another for actual purchases.
They did develop GraalVM, which is quite a technical achievement, or so I've heard (not a user).
If companies can’t target ads without data mining that isn’t an argument for data mining—it’s an argument against targeted ads.
Here are a few of my learnings:

- Expect nothing from the publisher in terms of marketing support. In fact, a good nonfiction book proposal is going to spend most of its length explaining to the publisher how you will sell the book for them through your connections and credibility - not the other way around. It's all on you.

- Don't do it for the money. You're going to make 10-15% of a pretty small pie. If you want to write info products as a moneymaking side gig and you have any following at all, self publish!

So why go with a traditional publisher? Here was my reasoning:

- The publisher probably will get your book in the hands of a larger absolute number of people, so if you care about maximizing readership and you don't have a stupid-large online following, their network effects through bookstores, library sales, etc will help you sell more copies than you could on your own (though again, you'll see very little of the money!)

- There's still some social proof involved with traditional publishing, and it's a nice thing to do once - just so you know in the back of your head that you "can"

- In my case, I was producing a highly graphic book that really doesn't work except in print and in full color, and I needed the resources of a traditional publishing house to make it not look terrible.

The Wiley experience was overall positive for me and I don't regret it, but if I ever produce a text-based info product in future it's hard to look away from the ROI advantages of self-publishing.

Well done, mate! Truly a wonderful job.
I've heard this and the general borderline unenforceability of "we own all your work, even during off hours" clauses in employment contracts as a major reason that the center of innovation shifted from Boston and the East Coast to Silicon Valley and California.

Boston should have been Silicon Valley. It had all the education and a much deeper history of innovation. It also could have been down in New Jersey where Bell Labs was.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of where other states stand on this issue. I know Massachusetts implemented some similar reforms a decade or so ago, but that's a little late to the party.
Yeah, it's just weird. In the UK paracetamol isn't a brand name, it's the generic term for a commodity product, 'nobody' cares who's name is on their paracetamol, I usually buy it with groceries if I'm low, so it's whichever supermarket brand.

The only (non-supermarket/chemist) brands I could name even would be e.g. Lemsip, where the paracetamol isn't the main constituent (it's a lemon flavoured sore throat/cold soothing drink, if you don't have it there) but an additive in some SKUs (also caffeine).

So you can get generic brands of 'tylenol'? People just trust/think better of Tylenol?
Only if Apple can have two versions of iOS on offer: one that is locked down and possibly/putatively safe; the other that is wild-west, Android-like in quality of store offerings, with all the tracking issues that goes with that. I know which one I'd choose, and it isn't the latter; my suspicion is that the market would make the same decision.
Because there are so many things to name.

If there were only 20-ish, using “foo”, “bar”, etc, or “red”, “yellow, etc, or even “x1”, “x2”, etc. would be good enough (not perfect, but people could easily get used to it, just as they get used to the (mostly) arbitrary name tags we put on people in our social circles)

I’m not referring to payments at all. I’m talking about using the card networks to serve as an alternative to Captcha for things like forums or any other situation besieged by bots and whatnot.

This reads like how it would make the police jobs easier to solve crime just to install an always on GPS on everybody.

Ad fraud really isn't my problem. So why should I be mercilessly tracked by everyone just to make your job easier?
Yup. I remember Kate and Notepad++ being my two GUI choices before moving to vim at some point when my work focused more on Unix systems administration work.

When I used Kate last mounting remote files was done with fish:// and used SSH creds and sftp.
Maybe they're looking to get a lot of granularity.
Thinking of, https://haveibeenpwned.com/, you could give an email address and get value from the site, but there's no need for an account.
Assuming you store the email that's certainly more of a privacy/security risk than using it once and throwing it away.

They’re not supposed to do that. Their dogmatic refusal to see the writing on the wall is ridiculous.
I can also understand why a developing country might not take kindly to environmental regulations. Developed countries destroyed the environment for decades, but now want to restrict others from doing the same. It might feel like they crossed a bridge, then burned it behind them.

> That’s where you come in: We need a massive outpouring of support for Apple’s decision to help strengthen its resolve to protect consumer privacy.

Why mozilla needs people like me and you in order for apple to fulfil their promises for consumer privacy?

As apple says “Privacy. That’s iPhone”, why it needs user attention for apple actions?
This is so late to the game. I've been inspecting the traffic of iOS apps for a long time now, and have written to the developers asking them to remove these tracking beacons / analytics scripts.

I created a wireless hotspot in Linux, connected my iDevice to it, and then opened Wireshark and was able to see all the traffic of the iDevice. I would encourage everyone to inspect the traffic of apps to gauge their privacy score.
>So back to your distaste of agency language when describing a phenomena.

Writing for Programmers
Laravel on Shared Hosting
I know this is supposed to be a gotcha, but I would suggest the burden is on the thief to justify why a documented theft should stand. Put it in writing. Codify it into law. How long does one need to hold stolen property before it conveys under the law? Was this a one-time allowable theft? Was it only allowable to steal from certain people during the applicable time? During what time period? How do we define precisely who it was acceptable to steal from?

We live in a legal regime where it's not even permissible to take sunken treasure that's near countries, even after centuries at sea. But somehow land stolen from indigenous people and Black people more recently is somehow unrecoverable? We need to at least write down in our laws the rationale for this.

More immediately pertinent: why were these thefts substantially different from those the Supreme Court ruled against in Oklahoma?

If we're not willing to at least do that much, yeah we should just give it back. The alternative is choosing lawlessness, which is not something we are bound to do.

We don't have to worry about converting to dollars because we can just return title to the land itself. The Supreme Court did the same this year in Oklahoma, so it wouldn't even be unprecedented.

I recall (albeit vaguely) reading an interesting book "Renegades of the Empire: How Three Software Warriors Started a Revolution Behind the Walls of Fortress" by Michael Drummond.

My recollection of the genesis of DirectX was in fact a skunkworks project create their vision of the next generation web-browsing experience. I think it was demoed and they had begun touting to developers/publishers with work with, but was axed.

I think it had a 3D aspect to it -- perhaps all 3d, I can't recall. But my memory was that they needed a significant 3D library, and they didn't want to go down the OpenGL (I think it was fundamentally political and personality disagreements with themselves and the maintainer(s) of the OpenGL implementation within MS) They convinced their boss to acquire a company that had a 3d engine product and hacked together a more comprehensive library, that ultimately became DirectX.
For a long time I kept 1 windows machine around for video games. Proton had been out but I didnt need to change. Then I started getting BSODs far too often. Reinstalling windows didnt fix the bsods. Didnt seem to be hardware. I decided screw it and go linux. Never had any crashing after that. I had to give up a couple games that still didnt work with proton.

Then I had a daughter and LOL time for gaming? LOL
I'm calling your bluff right now: online advertising, which is underpinned on knowing as much as possible about you, is fucked.

The half measures you described will not even be 10% as useful as the current model (direct ID from the device). What are you going to correlate a CG-NAT IP with, when said IP is shared by potentially hundreds of thousands of users? It becomes an exercise of diminishing returns, very quickly. And that is not a defect, that's a feature.

Privacy isn't about just maximizing your shekels. It is about protecting and respecting user data. Advertisers are clinically incapable of understanding that second part.

They are good as Vim, Emacs, Atom, Notepad++, etc. I used a lot of text editors over the years.

They are all good enough for programming work and are nigh indistinguishable from each other unless you go deep.

Maybe unless it's Atom, but I think they had improved their performance over the years.
