I haven't been in the dating market for over 3 years, since I met my girlfriend on Coffee Meets Bagel, but I used a lot of different dating apps prior and in numerous cities around the world. My experience was that Bumble was exactly like Tinder, except that on Bumble I had a lower match rate, but a slightly higher rate of matches resulting in an actual conversation. I found no difference whatsoever in the "seriousness" of the people involved. Most people were using Bumble for hookups.

Maybe that's changed, but I honestly believe the only dating app currently available that's actually worth using if you want a relationship and not a hookup is Coffee Meets Bagel. I had more and higher quality dates, including meeting my now 3+ year girlfriend, on CMB than any other app.
If there's one thing to raise awareness about in software development, it's probably not low pay.
I felt like he was doing a lot of personal PR and a presidential run felt like it was in the works for 2020, but Facebook soured pretty quickly well before that could be realized.

I don't think he would have done particularly well either, due to lack of charisma.

As a worker I appreciate the fact that when I was burgled a decade ago there was someone to call to inform about the burglary.

I also very much appreciate the fact that "having police" (even vaguely, and even ineffective ones) is a pretty good deterrent to (most) random folks murdering other folks[1].

There is a hell of a lot wrong with American policing but they do productive work just like managers (that don't produce anything themselves) and HR and all the other "non-productives" people like to point out. I think it's perfectly fair to question just how much value police (and other "non-productives") are actually producing and a lot of businesses could do with trimming a bit of labour out of middle management - but there are reasons these jobs exist and they can add a lot to team and societal productivity.

1. I don't ascribe to theories on anarchist utopias where if everyone can kill everyone else no one does out of politeness, I've played Rust.
He did a tour of America to "meet folks" and did internal polling regarding how he was received (poorly, which tempered expectations) but wouldn't be surprising if he still harbors ambitions in that realm.

I'm not sure. It kind of looks like the horse has bolted from the barn. I'm sure some people will be back in SF, but this is a great excuse for a lot of other people to get away from their dysfunctional politics. And I don't mean that in a left/right way, to be clear: top of the list is their inability to add enough housing, as is very clear in the article.
Well you're certainly right that it's easy to want to downvote your statement. I'd like to learn:

Can you explain what the advantages of the dominant marriages are? Since you mention Islam, I assume you're the dominant one. I'm going to assume your wife is happy in her role. Do you think the female can be the dominant one in a relationship, too, or how is that decided?
Consolidating, strategical changes like these sure are introduced and orchestrated by the top, not by the lower/mid level management who want to be noticed.
If you were to ask the teachers and people who went to school for education that I happen to know, all of them would tell you there is absolutely more people who want to be teacher than there are open positions.

My best friend gave up on getting a teaching job and went into industry work, while my sister in law has gotten multiple certifications to be able to teach different subjects and is still only able to get part-time substitute teaching work.

Bitcoin has no fundamental/breakup value and no market maker.

In the same way that there's no obvious ceiling to its value, if a lot of people try to get out of it at once, there's no obvious floor either.
As pointed out elsewhere, unions in Europe are very different from US unions. They actually work to maintain lower costs for the company as well as making sure workers aren't abused.

I've handled 2 calls (and missed a few others).

1. Woman asking what color a sweater was, to confirm its color. Was maybe a 30 second call.

2. Teenager with a box of paint supplies wondering if the box has an expiration date, since the paint felt weirdly thick. 2 minute call, then we chatted a few minutes.
Yeah, Woo Boost was a divergence point for the genre for sure.

They don't say that and that doc doesn't even mention traction. And, amusingly, it points to Dropbox's application as example of how to apply. When in reality it was due to traction on HN that Dropbox got into YC, Drew Houston was a solo founder so likely would've been rejected again on the basis of being a non-great founder since he hadn't even convinced anyone to join him.

Of course, one can always claim that "great founders have traction" but that's an obvious cop out.

This isn't malicious or bad. It's just an example of the common problem where people's view of themselves is different from their actual behavior. Something all founders should learn. It applies to users just as much as investors.
Hi HN. I built Forgo because React is no longer "it's just JS" (actually it never was). The patterns, practices and vocabulary used in the React ecosystem present considerable hurdles to a newbie - hooks, reducers, actions, flux etc. All of them are React specific, and locks the developer into framework related knowledge.

But there is one idea from React which made a ton of sense; from the time I started using it nearly seven years back. That's JSX - instead of shoehorning expressions into markup, move markup into the programming language. Forgo embraces JSX and skips most of the other ideas in React in favor of a more plain vanilla approach.

Wage theft is the most common crime in the US, is estimated to occur to ~20% of all employees and equal tens of billions a year, and no one talks about it.

How many union members do you think experience wage theft?

Steve Jobs Secrets of Life
In 1994, Steve Jobs was privately interviewed by the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association. What he said during that interview was remarkable. In this footage, Steve talks about his values, advice to entrepreneurs and his thoughts on how to best live life.

Transcript:
the thing i would say is
when you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is
and your your life is just to live your life inside the world
try not to bash into the walls too much
try to have a nice family
live have fun save a little money

but life that's a very limited life life
can be much broader once you discover
one simple fact

and that is everything around you that
you call life
was made up by people that were no smarter than you

and you can change it you can influence it
you can you can build your own things that other people can use
and the minute that you understand that you can poke life
and actually something will you know if
you push in something will pop out the other side
that you can you can change it you can mold it

um that's maybe the most important thing
is to shake off this uh this uh
erroneous notion that life is is there
and you're just gonna live in it

versus embrace it change it improve it make your mark upon it um
i think that's very important and
however you learn that once you learn it
you'll want to change life and make it
better because it's kind of messed up in a lot of ways
once you learn that you'll never be the same again

This might actually be of interest to the developers. Maybe there is some reason you never get picked. I worked with someone who couldn't log into any company systems for his first month because it didn't like his name.
> and is showing strong growth mainly because the product is better and more respectful of girls than Tinder.

Precisely. Bumble got popular because Tinder was not successful in helping connect people for meaningful relationships. Tinder works exceptionally well for keeping you engaged, and for a subset of users, good at fostering some sort of connection.

As you are aware, Bumble's only innovation over tinder was requiring women to initiate the first message after matching.

In their S1 filings, note they do not list any sort of relationship based metrics, rather all usage based.

They are not in the business of helping people find love.

As other products come on the market, users will eventually migrate away to services that are vested in creating long term partnerships.

In my opinion, dating apps still have not solved the fundamental problem for straight couples--for a majority of women, they are overwhelmed, and for men they are lost in a sea of choices.

But...that said, I have two dates this weekend from Hinge. Highly recommend Hinge over Bumble.
Buy put options on deribit, or short USDT-BTC on FTX
Is that so? I heard there are cruise missiles able to do the job. No need for ICBM glaring in infrared and the visible spectrum all over the skies.
Recently (last few weeks?) archive.md/today et al started working for me over 1.1.1.1
Ok, you make a good point about the possibility of collapsing demand. but, even after tether collapses, as long as bitcoin has sufficient buying demand, then there's no problem.

(assuming there's a fixed set of HODLRS).
As bitcoin sells off, the number of sellers decreases, correct?

Assume on a given day, 10K buyers and 10k sellers.

As the number of sellers decreases, the ratio of buyers to sellers increases, correct?

maybe 10K buyers, 5k sellers, then 10k buyers, 1k sellers, then 10kbuyers 500 sellers, etc. this continues to put increasing upward pressure on BTC.

The above example would still be true even if bitcoin buying demand went from 10k to 2k. (collapse of tether BTC demand)

All that matters is that there's a certain minimum number of people willing to buy bitcoin for a given time period and the HODLRs who won't sell there BTC. as long as those two conditions are met, the number of buyers will soon outnumber sellers. it's just math in the end.

how can this be wrong?
A dystopia where blind people (>4% of the population if you include all major visual impairments) occasionally livestream (but don't store) video in public places? There's plenty of dystopian things about our world but this is about 1000x less invasive than CCTV cameras.
I absolutely don't think this is the case, and paradoxically something like Webflow actually creates more demand for coders and software engineers. Today, only 0.25% of the world knows how to write code, meaning the amount of software being created is limited to that subset of the population. No-code tools potentially will raise that percentage to 25% or even higher, meaning 2 orders of magnitude more people are potentially starting new software projects – however small initially.

Inevitably, those projects will need more functionality than visual or declarative abstractions currently allow, which raises demand for code-based developers. Code will always outpace higher-order tools in flexibility and power, and coders will always be in demand.

Think of it like what happened with spreadsheets... initially there was a lot of fear that moving e.g. financial modeling workflows from e.g. Pascal, etc to visual spreadsheets might make developers less relevant. But that's the opposite of what happened.

Sure, there might be some developers who only do very basic tasks like converting a PSD file to HTML/CSS, but that started fading out as a highly sought out skill even before Webflow was prevalent. But there will always be a need for devs, and there's a massive shortage of them in the world still, so I'm honestly a lot less worried about this.
Geeze man, you can't post this and then not tell us the Phil Collins joke!
Yea. I also find it hard to believe that WhatsApp wouldn't be profitable with $1 per user per year. There is a lot you can do with $2bil a year.

I think I read that Brian Acton called out Sandberg on that once. That it wasn't just about profitability, but greed.
And also to divide the working class vote. Could you imagine how progressive this country could be if the working poor was united and consistently voted in line with their economic interests? FDRs ghost would be dancing in the street.
Ironically or perhaps not your entire comment reads like pure anti-union propaganda. Sure unions protect bad apples but it also protects decent people from being treated unfairly by employers who in this country have overwhelming power over their lives.

Would you also throw out all welfare systems because a handful of people abuse the system?
I don't understand. Unions, private or public, represent a massive special interest voting bloc. Instead of "I will be able to directly raise your pay if you vote for me" it's "I will directly benefit your company/industry if you vote for me".

Why do you think Mitch McConnell cares so much about coal?

Sure PCRE support would be big, but even posix-style BRE would be a very welcome improvement I think.

(As for formatting tables, presently most of my Lua code has been written for mpv which has a builtin utils.to_string(v) for this purpose. In the manpage, this is documented as "only needed because Lua is terrible." I think that's a bit too far, but the frustration this must have caused really comes across.)
That's not true, women who are really interested at finding people they like, will bother with it.

But any way for the OP, the technology for matching people who like each other is already there. The only piece missing, is to create an app which doesnt have has a goal to make a lot of money. A bit like Signal is free and rely on donations while all others texting app rely on ads

Just a matter of time until WhatsApp have ads or somehow used to datamine the conversations.

Because it would not make sense otherwise, considering how much it must cost them to run something like WhatsApp with millions of users and not get anything in return.
If you don't pay taxes, you're cheating the rest of us.

We in the west have extremely luxurious societies but this isn't cheap. When a few rich people cheat on their taxes, a large number of poor people suffer.

Not paying your taxes is theft from the rest of us.

I imagine upgradable memory will be a requirement with the Mac Pro (if it survives the transition).
Actually I'd be curious to see how a Korean Chaebol works in this regard. At various points, Apple was competing w/ Samsung (mobile phones) to get fab space on Samsung (chip fab), and I think at various times different parts of Samsung were suing Samsung...

Google has a white supremacy problem. The James Damore incident was a highly public display of that internal tension. It's a sign they have made little progress resolving it with the firing of Timnit Gebru, an eminently qualified data scientist that focused her work on that exact issue.

A union is not just about how "highly paid" employees are, it can help protect employees from those kinds of institutional deficiencies.
I wished I spent more time with friends. Early days I wanted to learn and make the next big thing, and spent a lot of my time after work reading up on design patterns, stacks, etc. Even launched a product, but it failed.

Looking back, I saw a lot of my friends went on trips to Europe, Asia, Africa, and across America. They had a lot of fun and made memories. I have none of that, and less.

Now that we're all reaching middle age, maybe I have more money, but I can tell you it's not worth it. And it's not like I can make up time and go on more trips now, we're all in a different life stage.

Don't miss the boat being young, trying to be a 10x ninja hacker is worthless, especially with how the industry treats its minority workers.
> most people have followed them, it’s only a selfish minority that have not.

Most people who have followed the rules are people who believed fake propaganda. Now even the staunchest supporters of lockdowns, e.g. NYC and Chicago mayors, are coming out against them.
As they say, necessity is the mother of invention.
Now you’re just denying facts at this point.[1]. This is a federal court house. These are our courts they are setting fire to and you dismiss it with hand wave. No big deal.

And no deaths? What about the unarmed Trump supporter who was shot dead?[2]

And again you do the same thing. Trump supporters post some threat and it’s real and the police should swoop down and stop them.

The left posts threats and they are dismissed as “bad energy”, “they didn’t really mean it”.

Most problems that people encounter are synchronous. I cannot even think of a single scenario where identifying things in a picture would be useful to anyone after the fact. It's not surprising that they don't offer a service that wouldn't be useful to anyone.
> The truth is - many companies realizing the incredible pragmatism of ideas behind Clojure.

My employer is moving away from cljoure after 100% of the stack on clojure/clojurescript for over 10 yrs. All the companies that you mentioned ( with the exception of nubank) adopted Clojure years ago. Curious to know if there are new companies picking clojure, your comment seems to imply so.
With how user-hostile Windows has become lately I've been happy to see gaming on Linux go from how esoteric it used to be to the more commonplace scenario that it now is. While it's obviously a small fraction compared to Windows (as noted in the article, 0.5-2% seems accurate), those that tried playing modern games on Linux a decade ago would be pleasantly surprised to see how much more feasible it is today; it's come a long way.

Valve and Steam have played an important role in this, but we've also seen significant improvements in wine, applications like Lutris, and all-around steady improvements in hardware support and drivers, as well as a much larger and more accessible community and body of knowledge.

While there's still quite a few games that seem near-impossible to play from linux, I think a lot of people that decided against trying this many years ago would find things much better off than where they left off, especially for someone that is willing to put in just a little bit of time to fix potential issues (but of course, we must admit that sometimes one can be unlucky and spend hours trying to fix some specific issues, even if that is much more rare than it used to be). Although I don't play much, I'm happy to not have to dual boot Windows just to run a few select applications and I hope that things look even better this decade with the amount of interest we've seen in FOSS, user privacy and security, and so on, all increasing.
Per my single friend, there's a lot of people on there looking to cheat on their partners while they business travel. She's gotten so many hits from men visiting SF on business trips claiming to live there full time and/or be single and then sees their families on facebook. Kind of soured her on online dating.
What a coincidence, but I've recently (~2 days ago) watched this video.

Why I really value such interviews because they don't look like commercial stuff, like he's not advertising anything and looks truly sincere.

And it's priceless when you can hear how such a person truly thinks
1) The police need to be defunded and disbanded, this will take care of problems within unions of a corrupt institution
2) Teachers were right not going back to school, this is the deadliest pandemic in the history of the united states and to expect teachers to work is a crime. Therefore the union did its job
Skrillex ruined dubstep in the 'states. And he looks like a total d-bag.

Valve Index will work with any SteamVR game natively, and with a community-maintained wrapper, will work with many Oculus exclusive titles as well.
I think the fact that you read that message and this was your conclusion is kind of concerning.

Either way getting a restraining order or whatever on someone you work with is definitely not going to improve your situation, if you can even prove it in the first place.
