You should first check if somebody else came up with the same idea. The first place is usually a patent database. Even if you are a complete novice, you can glean valuable information by searching for patents which have keywords related to the crux of your invention. Most inventions are enhancements of existing ones, so don't be discouraged if you find patents describing similar inventions. As long as you have an aspect which is novel, it might be patentable.

However, what other people said about patents holds true: most are worthless even after you get them issued, and statistically individual inventor patents are even more likely to be worthless. Getting a patent issued with a professional help can cost over $20k. Doing it yourself might be possible, but be prepared to spend months educating yourself in the intricacies of the patent law.

The situation is further complicated by recent changes in patent law which devalued patents significantly and had especially detrimental effect on high-tech patents applicable to FAANG. Just do a search on AIA, IPR, Alice... These changes were pushed through by these same companies because they started their businesses on the shoulders of other companies which had patents. So instead of paying for using other people's technology, they sent lobbyists to Washington and got laws changed. All this couched under the slogan "patent trolls are killing startups!"

You might try getting them to sign an NDA before you show them your idea, but they usually ignore individuals and refuse to sign NDAs with them, AFAIK.

There might be a way for you to talk to them without an NDA and still have a measure of protection. If, after doing the patents search, you are still convinced you have a good idea, and your idea is not "abstract" (ask Alice what that means and good luck finding an answer), you may file a "provisional" patent application. You basically describe your idea in as much detail as you can and file a patent application in a "provisional" form. This means that Patent Office will not start examining it for more than a year. Filing a provisional application is rather cheap (basic fee $75) and you don't need to craft claims, which can be tricky and expensive. After you file the provisional application, you have at least a year before you need to start the hard work on prosecuting your patent. Within this year, you can try talking to FAANG and you can rightfully say you have filed a patent application for your invention. This allows you to share with them the same information already filed in your provisional application.

If you find no traction within this year, you can give up without loosing much. You will have gained some knowledge and experience though.

I am not a lawyer and this advice is not legal advice and is worth as much as you paid for it, eh.

This is a long essay which raises problems but has no solutions, and so it is difficult to give a deeply coherent response to it which covers all of the points. However, since it seems to focus, however nebulously, on "problems with/for men," I can attempt something.

When was the last time you hear someone mention "masculinity" without "toxic" leading out in front like a particularly ugly hood ornament? With that in mind, what are men going to do around one another, waving this big TOXIC badge around? Men's groups? Derided, often pried apart legally if they reach the level of some kind of club. Nor have individual bonds escaped notice: deep friendship between men, that's largely reformulated as "bromance," because of course men do not understand friendship, we have to make everything they do about the pursuit of sex.

You can hear from many married men about the sudden winnowing of their friendships based on the approval list. If you're a man who is a bachelor, you know that friendships with other bachelor men are different than friendship with married men, and quite a bit of the latter is the approval factor. Acceptable, if barely, would be a "sports bar" with boozy comments to near strangers about the performance of strangers; shallow, not deep.

And so modern society has atomized men. To stretch the metaphor further, we're pretty much only allowed covalent bonds with women. Being single is out. I can't tell you the number of times I have had a co-worker, invariably a woman, say "Don't you want a girlfriend?"

And thus our only real value is to serve as providers to women, if they'll have us. If not, well, we're certainly not supposed to hang out with one another and find other things fulfilling. Once men with such hunger would fork over their dollars at strip clubs; now a new generation has abstracted this away to OnlyFans, in keeping with the general trend that previous person-to-person interaction will eventually attract a corporation which wants to mediate this, for profit.

And the indoctrination goes so deep: Elliot Rodgers, misogynist, right? Kills twice as many men as women, but hey, is it like men count? When was the last time you heard of someone who shot and killed men referred to as a "misandrist"? Please, try to recall.

Frankly, the trend of demonizing men cannot continue forever and I suspect the repercussions will be disliked, but so many seem to focus on staying that particular course, full speed ahead. I'm out of the game myself (one might argue that I never really entered the field), but I cannot help but feel tremendously for the young men today.

To be clear, "(almost) everyone needs some amount of physical intimacy to be happy," is a falsifiable statement of fact. You can go out and measure something to find out whether it matches reality.

On the other hand, "but it's not something anyone is entitled to" is fundamentally a statement of opinion, unless it is limited to a specific context like within a specific social system.
People say it as a sugar-coated way to express "if you're unhappy, it's because of a character flaw, so you should internalize your frustration, not express it to other people, deal with it privately, and definitely don't politicize it."

Well that's refreshingly honest, at least.
I don’t think it’s just Dogecoin. Superstonk was speculating on some stuff happening today in the markets. Not sure on the details unfortunately.
Prepare yourselves for thousands of uninspired "me when reddit was down" memes.
The question was what are the efficiencies per transaction.

The total market cap of a cryptocurrency is a somewhat meaningless statistic, it certainly doesn't directly translate to value.

> So that statistic really confuses me, how could that be the case? The data seems to imply a significant number of women are dating men far older than themselves, which just doesn't seem true to me.

Having just read a bunch of research coming from psychology on sex differences, this is very plausible to me. Most studies indicated that women wanted to date someone a few to ten years older while men wanted to date someone few to ten years younger.
I don't think I implied that it was. But someone in an exclusive relationship who no longer is willing to fulfill one of their partner's basic needs, has an obligation to work with their partner to find a way to fulfill that need. Otherwise you are just denying them something they are incapable of not needing.
I remember a story told on reddit about a guy who targeted his roommate with incredibly specific ads until it freaked him out.

> At least in the bay area there are plenty of cuddle parties for platonic physical touch.

I never knew such a thing existed until you posted this, and perhaps I could have done with this at earlier points in my life. My receptivity would have varied greatly at different times though.

Fundamentally, I'm not sure it would have helped me as much as finding a therapist and talking about this stuff. Now that I'm out of the rut it would be much easier to approach a cuddle party.

Men struggle to see therapists as part of the "suck it up" culture so it's extremely difficult to get out of the existence once you are part of it. The system is self-protecting and does things to embed people deeper into the anti-feminist rut.
It's very frustrating to buy pants, dresses, jackets/blazers, and skirts without pockets. I've made it a priority to get pockets on all of my pocket-needing outfits, but sometimes it's just not possible.

It's fully possible to have aesthetically pleasing clothing with pockets, but very few companies are doing it. MM Lafleur is rather more than I want to pay, but I am willing to do so for their pocket-inclusive suits and dresses.
I agree that returns would not be much different if they had avoided bad M&A. They have tons of cash and have to do something with it if they don't give it back to shareholders. Amazon has historically had the least amount of cash sitting around and thus has done the fewest acquisitions (FB may be less, but their market cap is smaller and their business is less diverse).

I also agree that returns have been greatly improved by a few key acquisitions for Google (Double Click, Youtube) and FB (Instagram). For Apple and Amazon I don't know where they are benefiting from their M&A (this is likely my ignorance, I would be interested to know).

I just think it makes more sense to focus on a few key (anti-competitive) acquisitions than to complain that big companies do hundreds of M&A deals over a couple decades.

> Happiness comes from within.

It sounds good but it is BS e.g., money won't make you happy but the absence of money would make unhappy many people.

You can try to become Stoic or Buddhist monk but it is not the natural state for most humans.
Perhaps you don't, but for progressives it remains a core part of their ideology and one that can't be no-true-scotsman-ed away, now that the belief has become publicly embarrassing to have supported.

And the same goes for your opposition to the gender gap in nursing; as demonstrated by the mysteriously absent global-push to rectify the issue.

Funnily enough I seem to recall it being the countries with far poorer track records on "equality" that tended to produce the higher number of female engineers; and that (for example) scandinavian efforts towards "equality" seemed to have quite the opposite result.
Northeast? I see "chicken tenders" on a lot of menus. I can see the difference being that "chicken fingers" having a childish connotation. And it goes without saying, "boneless buffalo wings" is a complete fabrication of reality.
Good luck Alex, hope you prepared your servers for the HN's hug of death :)))
Super interesting. Do you have any examples of drives that have the proper firmware in your experience? Sounds much better to own than something that suddenly fails.
"Average" can mean median, not mean. If 10 men all have 3 sexual relationships, and 7 women have 1 sexual relationships and 3 women have 10 sexual relationships it evens out.
I am always shocked when people make these sorts of pairings with devices they don't even own. I often see employees pairing person phones with corporate fleet vehicles too. It's unfortunately an example of where people rank convenience over privacy almost every single time.
My Volvo has a cellular radio in it that I cannot disable with pulling a fuse for a bunch of things. I've always assumed that the car uploads everything to Volvo without my knowledge or permission. I'll bet law enforcement can just ask Volvo for my data without needing a tool.
Oh, I see you haven't seen many kids and never really tried taking their books away the same way people take away tablets - in the middle of a game, without much prior notice, without communicated logic and reason. From my experience as assistant teaching kids 7-10 years old and boy scout leader (7-15 y/o kids) they absolutely do rage the same way about books, cards (Magic etc) and so on.

The difference is how the parent treats the activity; gamer parents are often stricter than ordinary parents but their children are not seen as 'playing that dumb game on that damn thing again', and thus their communication about it is very different. The result can be seen in the classroom: gamer parent kids are usually totally okay while talking about their use of electronics, the others get extremely defensive to the point of not talking, even though they know I am accepting. The gamer parent kids are splitting their time across activites, while the kids who are usually interrupted are trying to play as much as possible before someone interrupts them again.

Also consider that a tablet is not only a personal gaming device, but a method of socialization. You're basically forcing them to go be alone, and let me tell you that kids don't accept that well even without electronic devices in question.

People are not taking books away because reading is seen as good, but they should - I have seen far too many kids with ruined backs and very weird ideas about society and their behavior or place in it.
> I have friends who I would not support through depression

they aren't your friends then. aquaintences perhaps but not real friends. I'd jump through fire for my friends and know they would do (and have done) for me. but then I also run a tight ship with what I consider a friend. if we haven't gone through some kind of shared struggle together we can never be friends. that's why most men will have trouble making real bonds once they leave their teenage years and early 20ies behind. not much new happens (such as puberty) that you struggle through as a group. try to make friends in your 40ies that are as strong as your oldest friendships and it'll be pretty much futile to get anywhere. it's even worse: trusting somebody at that age to become a close friend is a natural red flag for most men. the smell of danger is too high. you're meant to stand on your own feet with that age and better be used to (or even enjoy) being alone (if you don't have a partner)
Database engines are cooler (and harder) than 95-99% of the stuff that people on HN build.
But why wouldn't she want a larger fancier diamond for the same work?
I think the criticism was that the post's author expressed being deeply unhappy with himself to begin with, and the relationship was more like a bandaid that only covered up the underlying personal issues.
"you have to acknowledge that extremists and totalitarians do exist" is a cheap rhetorical device to sneak in "both sides are the same" fallacies. Yes, of course there are crazies in any political movement, demographic, subculture, or other group. Elevating these crazies to the first thing mentioned when discussing the actual substance of the beliefs of a group is silly at best, but more frequently it is simply a dishonest distraction. This is not a slippery slope (also typically a fallacy in practice).

I would buy one that describes the total opposite of me and watch the confusion on people's faces.

I so wish this was a thing but I doubt Facebook would allow using their graph for this kind of marketing.
The idea predates modern usage, back to 1967: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talairach_coordinates, where they were trying to define a common way of referring to structures.

In this freesurfer sense it is the result of a training set, where an expert has delineated cortical and/or subcortical structure on a set of one or more images. If you have multiple images and you map them all into the same atlas space, you can derive a probabilistic model from this, or collapse it to a highest likelihood map or whatever you want.

The cortical and subcortical labeling algorithms used in freesurfer use such a (probabilistic) atlas as one of the inputs. GP is wishing that they could replace this with a new, presumably improved, version.
Capitalism is not about fair wealth allocation. I think you would like the Psychology of Money. Trend/Sectors can succeed, individual companies fail. And, success is often due to luck.

I'd be curious to ask you, 'what is money'? It seems to you, it's about working hard.
Same with self checkout at the grocery store: I know a lot of people like it, but whenever I do it I’m thinking “this is someone else’s job! Why the hell am I having to do it now? ?”
> I still don't understand if by that sentence the article author means he was miserable before, or if this means he misses her after just one day of her being away.

Honestly to me it's not important, if it's either of those things, if it's misery every day without someone that's pretty extreme. IMHO, YMMV etc. Glad he's happy, but that's a lot to put on a partner.
I think the point of the article is this:

If people are like CPUs - if all CPUs are busy 100% all the time, then latency, as we all know, sucks, and processes may crash occasionally. You want decent latency, and avoid crashes, then keep the CPU usage below the ceiling level.
And nothing of value that day was lost..
Car telemetry, until recently, is still kind of basic and from a surveillance standpoint not that interesting. It's usually just speed, angles, performance, and electricity. It can tell you when the car was started and how long it ran, but not where it went.

On the other hand, the MIB or stereo, has a lot more interesting stuff: contact lists, GPS data, media, bluetooth devices, and even Wifi. The clock is GPS synced and it logs every time you touch the console: change radio, enter POI, phone calls.

And you can stick one of the new Carplay headunits into any old pre-OBDII car and now enjoy the same level of surveillance. Sony, Kenwood, JVC are all running QNX or Linux . And all of them just has a plethora of information behind some very basic security.
So it seems like old age is the right time to start relationships, as almost everyone will be a lot more willing to start one, and exclusivity will be valued a lot more for practical reasons
I suspect so, too. Crypto and dogecoin in particular is going crazy, driving masses of comments. And tech stocks (and much of the market) are having another terrible day.

Well, I guess it's back to Digg for us! Or maybe Google+?
The question was who is single, not how many partners.
Reminds me of Neal Stephenson’s “Snow Crash”, where he described the ancient world being so stuck in a set of fixed algorithms for how to do things that made any progress impossible. Only the Babylonian Confusion fixed this deadlock by destroying the ability to communicate (and exchange algorithms). Highly recommended read.
Isn't it kind of obvious that young single men are competing with nearly all adult men for the young women?

Esp. with the rising divorce rates, more non-young men are going back on the market than previously, and they've got more financial stability and general security to offer than most their younger competitors. I'm betting they're not exactly chomping at the bit to shack up with women their age or older.
I can't find a link to it at the moment, but Pierre de Lacaze gave an excellent talk about the CLOS/MOP systems at Lisp NYC about 5 years ago. If anyone is interested in these topics, I'd recommend digging around to see if you can find it.
Would you rather have it in HTML or any other formats? I could perhaps convert to HTML using Pandoc.
I don't understand why you keep talking about Apple's direct competition? Vertical consolidation is a very different, potentially more harmful problem than "a mobile phone monopoly".

More competitive phone market is pretty boring. Good ARM CPUs are not boring, there are all kinds of places those would be amazing that Apple isn't going to bother using them.

Apple doesn't have to lose, in a healthy market they'll be able to buy good ARM CPUs just like I will.

The problem is that Apple's solutions are the only solutions that get to use certain technologies because they don't want other people to compete with them.
The banking system is a massive waste of resources. Both energy and human talent. Why is this never mentioned? And the ROI. Less than 0.2% interest rates for keeping your money in a bank... for the common man.

While banks create money out of thin air. We should be happy to get rid of centralized banking. And of course, the federal reserve is a private company. Not owned by the US gov't. Tell me why you want the status quo?
If you would follow a couple steps up the comment chain you'll note that the discussion centred around progressive ideology; you're welcome to re-read the chain and respond again once you have familiarised yourself with the context.
There was a similar outage a few weeks ago, where nothing worked either and it also took a "long" time to get everything back up and running. I never did check up what happened there.
> It kind of reminds me of a study I heard about a few years back claiming that straight men average three times as many sexual partners as straight women. Except, that isn't possible!

It really depends on whether they were reporting the "mean" or the "median". It's entirely possible for the median values for the two sexes to differ greatly while the mean values are comparable, which would imply that each group had a very different shape to the curve of their data.

One of many example hypothetical sets of shapes that would fit the data would be one where a graph of the males shows a fairly "normal" distribution with the mean and median having similar values, but the female graph was more of an exponential curve, where a small percentage at the top had tons of partners, and the rest of the women drop off the curve fairly quickly, resulting in a much lower median value than the men, but still the same mean value.
Pro-tip: Describe what this actually does. "adding functionality like price estimates for resources." is vague.

The Chrome extension asks for permission to "Read and change your data on all auth0.com sites, all aws.amazon.com sites, and all deref.io sites"

That's a LOT of power to give some random extension to my AWS account. I'm not going to do that unless I know EXACTLY what it does, how, and why.

The vaguer you are, the less I trust you.

And that doesn't get into why this extension also needs access to auth0 which is not described in the overview at all.
cant this be fooled though? I believe there is a site where you could select a "profile" and it would open up these links in your browser to give off the impression of that profile.

For example, if you selecting "wealthy" it would just open up a bunch of urls to expensive brands, luxury items, private charter jets. I am not entirely sure if it actually worked or not.
