> Manipulation implies that you're lying to people

No it means you are trying to change their behavior, usually in an unscrupulous way.

These ads aren't lying. But they are certainly pushing a narrative. Which at best, is normalizing the violent actions taken. And at worst, is recruiting people for that cause.

> While other package ecosystems certainly have _more_ packages, the question is: how many of those will you actually use?

Exactly. Saying NPM has millions of packages is completely misleading. There will be 20, 30, 40 packages that all do the same thing.

Elixir is also a very stable language with no current plans for a 2.0 release. This means that while a lot of Hex packages may not have been updated in a while, they are still rock solid. I agree that this is a very hard thing to get used to since the first thing I always do is looked at the last commit date and then the number of stars. While this is still useful, it doesn't hold the same weight it does in other ecosystems. Personally, I think this is how it should be.

I won't say that the Elixir ecosystem is perfect, though. There has been trouble with maintainers leaving projects, but to knowledge someone always steps up.
Recent studies has shown that exposure to flouride (which is found in toothpaste), is correlated with lower IQ scores. That might be a contributing factor.

Men are becoming wimpier. I know my cousin growing up was afraid of dogs, heights, terrified of open water, and so on. He grew up with few friends, did not play any sports, and spent most days indoors on the computer, very over protective mother.

Honestly, in previous times he would be ridiculed for being very wimpy and scared of the world. Very little social pressure now. You can just retreat into your man cave, battle station, or cacoon after coming home from a very safe office job.

Masculinity is not just genetic. Just like muscles, it needs context for it to develop. Had he grown up in Sparta, same person, would be different.

> I wonder if hormones will ever become widely available for personal use

By that you mean sex hormones. Melatonin and insulin are widely used hormones e.g..

Depends where you live, but these days in the US it's quite easy for kids to get sex hormones from doctors, related to gender "reassignment." I'm not sure about doctors' tolerance for becoming more-manly if you're already a man, though.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, you are exactly correct.

60T is 10x more than global energy expenditure in 2010, and that's just for the Western Hemisphere, which I'm fairly certain expends significantly less energy then the Eastern.

Edit: just checked, and I was correct. In 2010, Western Hemi energy demand was ~130 PBtu, while Easter Hemi demand was ~330 PBtu[1], or 2.5x more.

So at this same price point, it would be 210T to power the whole world with solar, or 50% more than global GDP in 2019 (but only using 2010 energy consumption numbers, so it's actually much more). And of course you'd need to keep adding more solar as demand went up.

Also, the bit about 'the industrial revolution and its consequences that have been a disaster for the human race' slightly paraphrases the opening of Ted Kaczynski's manifesto Industrial Society and its Future, which is quite popular with accelerationists and eco-fascists due to his relative success as the 'Unabomber'.
> he's unbelievably socially awkward and not in a way that derives humor from it, but is meant to invoke a sense of relatability

Media does usually exaggerate the traits they're attempting to highlight, whether it's bravery or social anxiety. Most people, even if they are popular and charismatic, still feel awkward and anxious sometimes. As much as we talk about how different people are, in some ways we're all the same.

This is simply about speeding up the growth at expense of your users which is of course sugarcoated as "it is good for you"
I've been WFH since the mid 80s. For me, this had been a goal since I first heard of the concept of WFH back in the mid 70's.

I've never really though of it as anything but a positive. I don't have to drive to work. I can take a break when I want and start late and work late (or early) if I want.

I code so not getting interrupted or distracted and having a quiet place to work is a huge plus.

I've always been comfortable with solitude though. It's a lack of it that wears on me.

Farm labor is paid better than that. Even the illegals are getting more than they could get legally at the local fast food joint. It is really hard to get farm labor, and so they have to up the pay to attract people. The work is hard and the hours are long, but the pay is okay for the amount of skill required.

I also saw numbers saying a 50 mile by 50 mile piece of land could handle all of America's trash for 100 years if used as a landfill.

Always struck me as interesting in that you could easily section off a chunk of desert, properly sort and encapsulate the trash. At the same time fund research into ways to do recycling that is more cost efficient and more environmental friendly with regard to chemicals used, etc. Then once you have better tech for a certain class of garbage, go process it in bulk.

Of course humans being humans, we'd probably not bother to fund the research, not do upkeep on the encapsulation material and mess up the ground water, etc. Still interesting to think about just having one or two national trash dumps.
Very few farms are irrigated (acreage-wise). Aquifer depletion (if it happens) would only affect a small percentage of farms. Most farms are rainfed

Just out of curiosity, where are you from?

Here in Poland this is very well known fact and nobody is going to forget this, for a very long time.

Soviets attacked Poland on September 17th, 1939 in accordance with plans they made with Nazis before the war. They made plans which part of Poland belonged to Soviets and which to Nazis and then were all too happy to occupy until Nazis turned on them.
Yeah, my goal is ultimately to work remotely to fund something like this. I don't even care about being 30 minutes from the nearest store... I am good at stockpiling and cooking my own stuff.

I wonder how engineering integration works for an acquisition this size (Wikipedia: ~1694 employees). Google interviews test for very specific things so it's unlikely every engineer in Fitbit would have passed. Fitbit's big enough that I doubt you'd re-interview every engineer and doing that would scare engineers away, but Fitbit's not big enough where you'd let Fitbit continue to do their own thing for a long period of time. Would you just convert every engineer into the Google leveling system best you can and see how it shakes out over time in performance review? Do these things get talked about during acquisition talks?
There's nothing wrong with a corporation in principle, just like there's nothing wrong in principle with for-profit universities or payday loans. In practice, it's easy to see that many people who run corporations use them as an excuse for taking entirely self-interested actions that harm the rest of society. "I'm sorry, but I have to act in the best interest of the company, you understand." Of course there's nothing magic about corporations, and it's perfectly possible for individuals and private owners to be just as cruel. For purely cultural reasons, it's easier for most people to act in self interest when it feels like they're doing it for The Company rather than themselves.

Note that there are other ways to organize people to farm efficiently, like worker cooperatives.
Especially when there's a thread on HN about this very topic. He could just post his thought as a reply to that topic and generate discussion.
It is essentially certain that strong privacy will never come to bitcoin. Taproot and schnorr will make no meaningful difference, unless you mean it will assist people in doing atomic swaps to a private currency like Monero. Average people will never make the effort to do expensive (or cheap) coinjoins that will make them look suspicious. Lightning network does not have strong privacy guarantees and it continues to struggle to gain adoption, safety and usability.
Girlfriend experience-escorts are also not that uncommon outside of Japan.

Bars where one buys a good conversation along with the meal, cafés where the waiters roleplay as one's doting sibling, renting a parent, used underwear from vending machines, maid cafés, maid cafés where the maids are all cross-dressing males, cafés where the attractive male waiters make out with each other for the viewing pleasure of the customer base, cafés where the attractive female waiters wear no underwear, short skirts, and the floors are mirrored — well, that's the joie de vivre that has a big “only in Japan” sticker on it.

The second place with distance is the U.S.A. that at least has cafés where the attractive female waiters wear skimpy outfits, cheerleaders, and bikini car wash — but the rest of the world that has nothing that comes close to this well-inspired madness.

Your issues with opinion columns from 15 to 20 years ago does not render the entire medium of 21st century journalism "fake news".

I'm certain if you read the entirety of the New York Times (and many other outlets) published articles on the subject you would find a range of perspectives, not just the ones that you're purporting sum up journalism of the past 20 years.

I was reading the same outlets you were at that time. Those large outlets based in the cities were where I (living in rural SW Ontario) gained my understanding of what was going on with the United States response to 9/11.

I'm not making this up. They maintain well-organized archives and it's easy to search, filter by date range, section, and sort. For example, "Bush WMD" search between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2011 returns a wide variety of perspectives and types of journalism: some straight reporting of the news, some press releases, and some opinion columns from varying perspectives—some in line with what you're claiming is the entire stance of North American media, and some not. Those sections are not all equal in their "truthiness" (another fun term from those times, if you recall).

If due to environmental toxins (say, hormonally active “forever chemicals,” plastics, etc), my guess is you’d see the deleterious effects first in women. Women also make (and need) testosterone, just at much lower levels than men, so they have much less to lose. There’s research going back 30 years on the efficacy of low dose TRT in women to treat all kinds of things that tend to hit women in their late thirties on (when natural testosterone has been declining for 15-20 years); I’m on mobile now, but what I recall most from a review paper was the efficacy in treating fibromyalgia pain. The lack of continued research on this seems to be almost entirely due to social pressure. (People lose their minds when you talk about women and testosterone, or men and estrogen.)

It’s hard not to wonder if environmental toxins affecting the testosterone levels of men are also contributing to the rise of health issues in women, especially autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia/CFS, obesity, depression, etc.

In other words, women might be the canaries in the coal mine for systemic problems arising from environmental endocrine disruptors.

It's unpopular because that disruption hasn't happened yet, and there's no guarantee that it will happen in the next 50 years. In the mean time, the average American is stuck interacting with cutting edge research--research which is often funded publicly--via:

1. Shitty science journalism with paywalled citations

2. $300/yr textbooks

3. Crime

Intuitively, it's difficult to imagine something less copyrightable than a scientific discovery. The world is upside-down.

I probably should have worded that better. The elite athletes and professional researchers - sure that happens.

I guess I'm trying to say - if it's not your career - if you spent 7+ hours per week training for your physical body, practicing your sport or doing research nobody would say anything about it.

So and so is fit and exercises a lot. They look good, that's their jam. So and so is researching a lot or working on a really hard problem. Nice. Good for them.

You work harder than the average on your brain and/or business - "you work too much"

I'm not sure why people can't differentiate that for many:

1) going above and beyond is necessary to level up (especially to make your business a success)

2) people can find that process enjoyable and rewarding (especially if they do it with people they like)

I think the self-employed specifically get a bad rap about "working too much". I'm sure there are some fortunate souls, but I don't know any business owners that clocked in and clocked out average work weeks to success.

Although I agree that there's a workaholic problem for many as they scale the ladder or consume themselves with work to avoid some other issue in their life.

I just don't like the notion that if you work more than the average Joe you don't have a work/life balance or it will cause all these issues.

Just pulled this up and its worse than I would have guessed - "Only 15% of workers are engaged at their job". This is globally. In the US it's 30% engaged [1]

That's pretty telling to me then. If you aren't engaged at your job - you will think 7 more hours a week is a bad idea and a workaholic. And probably make yourself feel better about using those 7 hours for your hobby or whatever is not your "engaged job"

While (assumedly) true, I feel the need to note that the reverse does not hold generally: 'man boobs' are purely fat in nearly all cases and will go away when someone loses weight.

Gynecomastia is breast tissue and does not go away if you lose weight.
