Religious couples tend to have the most fulfilling sex lives. Conservative religious couples have the best: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7060099/Highly-reli...

Myself, as a highly conservative married man, my findings confirm the daily mail article, esp. when I look at the sex lives of my married friends who were more libertine in their youth.

EDIT:
A few theories:

1. My wife is not on birth control, which means she ovulates, and thus has the normal cyclical female sex drive. Her desires during ovulation are way past mine, even if my average is higher than hers. I believe this is why modern men feel so undesirable -- most women are taking hormones that directly affect how attractive they perceive their men to be.

2. No points of comparison. I have no point of comparison with other women. At this point my sexual response, probably through repeated exposure, is finely tuned to my wife. I have fantasies, like any man, but the vividness of my lived experience far surpasses them in excitement.

3. No pornography. I'm not saying I've been perfect, but my religion believes that consuming pornography (same with masturbation) leads to hell, so it's not something I typically do. I have a high sex drive as a result, and instead of masturbating, we have sex instead.

4. No condoms. Similar to number 1. Sex without a condom is better. We tried it once (in violation of my religion) and it was awful. I wouldn't describe it as the same experience. I'm pretty sure there's something in each of our secretions that makes no condom sex better. I'm not a sex scientist, but this is my observation.

Mobile/automotive networking has been a big thing for a while now, and there is no dearth of software people who will predate on most people's expectations that software only does what the UI makes apparent to them. Even if they don't realize they are contributing to it because they've been hired to do a job, but don't take the time to grok the consequences of the business model.

Never assume. Trust, but verify.
Most of this tech has strong network effects. And while the marginal cost of shipping an additional unit tends to be close to 0 (creating the incentive to grow almost boundlessly), the costs of complying with regulation in dozens or a hundred countries is quite high.

Thus, it entirely makes sense for a founder want to build great tech and a great product, but NOT want to be in the business of complying with a dizzying array of local and international regulations, in a world where they effectively have to expand globally to "win".

Big companies aren't typically nimble enough to respond to the whims of consumer tastes or catch the latest fads.

So, it's a great symbiotic relationship between "big tech" and startups.

Ask HN: Re-establishing a professional career after hiatus and disability
A longer version of this is at [1].

I would be very grateful for any career ideas for someone in my situation, which involves a partial disability (chronic/complex PTSD), multi-year gaps, and, after 2000, a typical job tenure of months. If there is a way to recover from this without lying, I’d love to know.

Over 20 years ago, as an embedded software engineer -- mostly finding & fixing bugs in a network of embedded boards made by 600 engineers -- my employee stock options vested near the stock's all-time high. But by then, I was barely hanging on. It had been almost two years since I’d felt good about my work product, and I’d been trying to get a leave of absence, but I hadn’t been diagnosed with anything yet. After a cashless exercise, I resigned. Living on the windfall allowed me to mask my burnout for long enough to lose credibility as a professional.

I need a career that is compatible with ongoing treatment, which will take years. By the time I got a diagnosis of chronic PTSD, my funds were low enough to interfere with treatment: Treatment for complex PTSD (from continual situations rather than specific major events) requires unboxing painful emotions, which increases the stress level, and the mind won’t really permit this process unless it feels safe-enough to do so. So, to progress in treatment, realistically I first need to identify and establish myself in a career whose stress level, for me, could leave a safety margin. It has to pay enough not to bring additional poverty-induced stress, be challenging enough not to induce stress from boredom, and be easy enough for me, who is, for now, not a quick thinker as a programmer or engineer.

> ARM is inaccessible to most companies, including companies that don't compete with Apple.

What are you talking about? ARM is literally the dominant CPU architecture for years now, with a lot of CPU/SoC vendors for everyone's choosing. An architecture license is expensive, yes, but you only need it if you want to roll your own cores (and there is at least a dozen AL holders). Everyone who's fine with stock cores can use ARM Flexible Access where you only have to pay per-product fees at tapeout.

That's the reason why all other competitors (Hitachi's SuperH and MIPS being the biggest ones) have all but vanished.

>In a world where we prevent vertical monopolization, those very nice ARM CPUs Apple and Amazon have on lockdown become commodities and spur all kinds of innovation in other areas.

I agree it would be better if everyone were able to buy Apple's CPUs, yes, but the real secret behind Apple's performance is that they own the OS stack and can ruthlessly optimize it for performance. Technically, everyone can take the Android AOSP code and do the same for a given hardware stack, it's just a lot of work that is not much in demand.

> Who do you think pushes Qualcomm to deliver better quality when the two primary consumers of those CPUs aren't buying from third parties?

Uh, Samsung also buys from Mediatek, not just Qualcomm's Snapdragon and their own Exynos line... anyway there are lots of smartphone vendors who could go ahead and differentiate their products by focusing on quality, if they wanted and the consumers would want it. Samsung and Apple together only have 39% of market share (per https://www.counterpointresearch.com/global-smartphone-share...), there's a lot of room for competition.
> Go talk to some elderly people: the ones who have been in marriages that have lasted the entire lives are generally completely devoted to one another, and as an extension their families. Unsurprisingly, those families seem to be generally full of happy, healthy people in their own happy, stable relationships.

No offense, but that's exactly what you just did. I personally know of families with 30+ years of marriage who appear "full of happy health people" on the outside but independently disclose their lifelong frustration.

Maybe let's all stay out of psychoanalyzing then?

Welcome on MorphOS Store
I came across this once in Peter Norvig's Udacity CS 212 course - I think it was in the discussion forums for one of the lessons. My head promptly exploded.
Sorry, you said on pageload, I thought you meant when the page is loaded :)

On the cards you posted to reddit:

a) "Keening Vythat", "Tombsis Satyr", "Quarpling Barrier". These are typical nonsense-nonsense names (as opposed to the fantasy-nonsense names found on M:tG cards) that are typical, in my experience, of card names generated by language models trained at the character level. M:tG fantasy-nonsense names, like "Rathi", "Kapashen", "Viashino", etc, are derived from a real-world narrative created specifically to theme the cards. A backstory. Without such a backstory, "Vythat", "Tombsis", "Quarpling" are just random strings that have no reason to be used as names. This is an important limitation of this kind of card generation, especially given the very low chance that you'll see any more "Vythat" cards (and if you did, they'd likely have a completely different function). Also "Keening Vythat" sounds like a creature, rather than a Sorcery.

So, first problem: thematic consistency of names is all over the place.

b) The text on Keening Vythat is ungrammatical:

Basic lands are basic land type in addition to its other types.

c) Seismic Mind has an interesting ability (the one that modifies its base P/T). The mana cost makes sense, actually (although I bet it'd end up at {4U} at R&D), and the effect is very Blue. Nice.

d) Tombsis Satyr also has an even more interesting ability (feeds the inner Johnny). The cost and colours are right and the Angel type is just the cherry on top. Very nice. If only it wasn't called "Tombsis Satyr"... X)

e) Quarpling Barrier's ability is more of a crippling weakness than an interesting ability. A creature without Defender would not be called a "Barrier" these days, either. Pass, I fear.

f) Trade Damage is more balanced than interesting, but it's very well balanced! It would fit very nicely in a modern tempo deck. Nice also.

So that's three nice, two not so nice and a bit of a problem with themes. Still, those are not that bad at all. Unfortunately, there's just five of them. At this point it's hard to tell whether your project is able to generate better cards than other projects - and why would it, if it's using the same tech as those projects? You can fine tune and turn more knobs, but what, fundamentally, is the innovation here?

I suggest that you add the five cards above (and/or others) to the colab of your project alongside the auto-generated ones, to have examples of the "best case" and "average case" together. That'll give a boost to the appeal of your project.

Anyway, better than I originally thought but still a ways to go.
This is counterintuitive. The obvious benefit of marriage is producing children.

Producing children is extremely costly for both parents. This is true both in animals and humans - you would generally not say that rearing children is good for the health of the parents. It probably brings emotional benefits to the parents (which it would have to, otherwise they wouldn't do it), but there's no reason to assume that couples are automatically better off in terms of their finances or physical health than singles.

Edit: Since people correctly pointed out that you can have children without marriage, please replace marriage with "romantic relationships that produce children".
You're correct, of course. I was also downvoted for an even slightly more simplified version of this post.

Not too surprising given the general demographics of HN being quite biased towards startup founders, VC's, and the like.

> are you suggesting a non-profit will find blockchain easier than a regular ledger?

For the features outlined before ("Verifiable donations, fully transparent reporting/auditing, no restrictions on who can donate"), for sure!

First you have to come up with a ledger you can run on your server, but that visitors should be able to verify that what your server responds, is actually the values, and that you haven't manipulated those values in any way. How do you even do that? Since you are running the software, you can modify it, either on the machine itself, or in transit.

Secondly, you need to come up with a way of avoiding AML/KYC since that or similar exists in most countries. You might need to hire a lawyer just in order to write the user-stories for your sprint.

Or, use existing software and boom, thing done. Publish and then circle jerk on Twitter.

So yes, the article does claim that he said this. Obviously he contests this, but it appears to be just his word alone against other people who were on the call. The balance of evidence does not appear to be on his side, here.
I think it would be more accurate to say it had significant benefits, but they decreased. And there is a lot of inertia keeping it popular. This results in a lot of "failed" marriages.
We only have a small garden so I don't have enough brown waste to get to the right ratio of brown to green. I might be wrong though but that's why I think a conventional compost wouldn't work as well. What I like about the worm bin, is that the wormies are perfectly fine with a very high ratio of green waste to brown. I also haven't had any issues with smell, in winter I even have the bin in my garage, a friend of mine has his in the kitchen. At the same time, obviously that's a property of vermicomposting, not of the HungryBin specifically.

> Most of our neighbors put their green bins out every week and in fall they put lots and lots of paper bags with leaves out. Why?

I agree, especially when it's so easy to compost at home with a little bit of space.
Aye, anyone who did that missed the point, I think. There’s no more pivotal role in devops than QA, I’ve seen many takes on devops and the best outcome (so far) was when QA own the CI/CD pipeline and their job isn’t performing tests, but writing automated ones, and directly pairing with developers, BAs, and SREs.

This tends to make QA a gateway job to dev, SRE, or product management. In some organisations the QA function is perceived as a dogsbody role, and the reframing helps flatten the pecking order. In the long run there’s a virtuous cycle to accessing the talent pool this way.
And at worst trying to adhere to some maturity model ends up causing disasters. The Richardson Maturity Model for REST is just straight-up wrong. REST == HATEOS, it's not fuzzy logic, its boolean. The RMM is how a bunch of companies got away with half-assed glorified RPC APIs that they marketed as REST.
Please don't post in the flamewar style to HN. It degrades discussion, so we should all avoid it.

The average man will go through a period of involuntary celibacy and I don’t believe this is a new thing but we’re now good at labeling. History shows that 80% of women reproduced compared to only 40% of men!
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/women-who-stray/2012...
(Note not sure the primary source on this stat, but the general idea is that polygamy was once common leading to fewer men reproducing)

We’re doing much better than that today, but how were things through history when 60% of men were “incels”? (Generally lots of violence)

In the interim, the most restrictive religious social systems apportioned one man for one woman, held sex as a reward for marriage, and punished those that strayed outside of these lines. This achieved the objective of efficient coupling but I don’t think we would ever want to go back to those repressive systems that controlled women.

Is there any real policy options we can pursue? We can't assign mandatory girlfriends, and even if we could, they may not find it was what they wanted.

I can help the poor and destitute much more effectively than I can wealthy people with vague psychological issues, and they also have more immediate needs. We all have limited time on our hands, and in terms of effectiveness, working with incels seems like something that's a lot of effort for very little benefit.
I think they are conflating needing sex with deserving or being garunteed sex.
> having a romantic and sexual relationship is not a requirement for a happy life

That's for each person to decide. For incels, it's clearly required. They want it.

It's a fact that interpersonal relationships and sex are part of being human. If you tell them to just give up on this and find other ways to be happy, you're telling them to accept a subhuman existence, that part of their humanity is worthless and should not be exercised.

> basic unhappiness without romance and sex is toxic masculinity

No. It is normal to want relationships and sex. It is normal to be unhappy if you are constantly rejected by everyone. You can have strong friendships and still want this. There is absolutely nothing "toxic" about this.
The GP is talking about the second derivative of the price, not the first one.

What he talks about is new. And I believe he is wrong, it's just a negative value very close to zero, not positive.
I mean tooling as generally as possible, everything outside your application's execution runtime and the shell it runs in. Of course developer's will benefit from a code editor and a language compiler (assuming there aren't many), but how much tooling do you really need to deliver a product?
Essentially, what we have right now in the sexual marketplace echoes what we have in the economy... a lot of the sex is being had by a small fraction of the people. The need for sex is perhaps as high as the need for money but nobody talks about this crushing inequality, perhaps because there is no practical way to “tax and redistribute” sex. The problem is worse for men since a man needs a certain set of skills and traits to get casual sex, but is probably equally bad for the genders in terms of finding long term relationships.

When social norms dictated that you must be married to have sex, every woman and man paired off and got to have sex, however low quality and in however unhappy of a marriage. I’m not sure this world is an improvement.
>Its so, so rich to see criticism of "leftism" as "becoming a religion", when the right in this country literally worship a golden idol of The Former Guy at their politics conventions.

Whataboutism. No one is claiming otherwise, certainly not me. Indeed, the left is catching up to the right on interlacing religion and politics.

Your choices are not limited to "being adhered to a codependent sexual partner" and "being totally disconnected from society trying to live as a Randean ubermench ascetic".

It is the belief that those are the only possibilities that makes people incels, not the lack of a chick.
That's far too subtle. If a developer were going to add a debugging mode like that, they'd just add a flag that's checked in the function and makes it return a constant.

> So the opportunity is quite small. And it's too expensive for a small company that might just want to build a consumer door lock.

That just indicates that the value of a modular component isn’t high enough to make it worth building for now.

Touch ID is not a modular component. It’s part of a system and it’s not designed to be used in door locks. It took a huge amount of R&D overall which was worth it to build into hundreds of millions of dollars worth of phones. Touch ID isn’t just a sensor.

It isn’t a technology that can be used in a door lock.

At some point it will be cost effective for a door lock component to be built, but there is little connection between this and touch id.
> Monopoly isn't just about pricing power, and whatever else ancient economists observed in previous centuries.

This understanding of monopoly has only existed since the mid-20th century. Prior to that, the definition of a monopoly was more expansive and included analysis of market & industry structure.
>Which is basically the exact definition of codependence.

Well okay I suppose that the people I'm talking about, in their 50+ year relationships would describe their love for their partner as a type of addiction, but what you might be missing there is: that is a joke, and they are being cute.

If we're redefining romantic devotion as an "addiction" then I think we have officially lost the plot.
It would be much, much simpler and much more robust to just have a flag that when set, makes RNG returns the same number, instead of depending on some very obscure behavior of specific hard coded constants chosen.

There is a version of this essay that's about establishing who's right and wrong, personally and/or publicly. In some cases, those essays need to be written. Those don't require much empathy, and if they do it's a judicial sort of empathy.

This essay we need more of, at least if we want to know more.

Everyone is responsible for their own arseholery. I do think we need to be somewhat firm about what that is or isn't. But drawing lines isn't the whole game. Empathy is an actual requirement for understanding, because what empathy is, is human's innate ability to understand one another when we try.
