Do you have a particular study you could point me to? I do find twin studies useful.

I found

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3629371/

which addresses a variation of the question. The unpaired half of twins with discordant marital status show significantly (in the case of men) higher rates of depression; women also seem to too, but because there were so few twins of discordant marital status in general, the test is pretty underpowered and so the confidence intervals are huge. Given that, it's actually pretty impressive that it was able to find any significant differences at all.
Of course there is. First of all, these systems will cause legal systems to change over time to adapt to their existence. Second of all, they're borderless, open, permissionless, pluggable systems for the coordination of human creativity and capital. There are thousands of ways to take advantage of that that far exceed what you can do with a Delaware C-Corp.
Making up new bokeh shapes, depth-based special effects, etc. are the type of thing Lytro should have done with their cameras, instead of just «focus after capture time», which is mathematically interesting but doesn’t enable fundamentally new art.
I actually used a USB connector on the previous Nixie-tube based version. It's harder since there aren't as many panel-mount options for the USB connector. You have to design the circuit board around abutting the enclosure wall. This makes sense in an injection molded or unibody construction, but less so with a wood box like this.

You're also potentially limited by the USB spec on current draw. There are ways around this, like ICs that will detect if you're connected to a charger or a data port. The barrel connector is also quite ubiquitous and I designed the power entry to work across a wide range of DC power adapter voltages.
I watched this average looking girl on youtube go to stunning. She started by caring about her appearance. And started looking to basically start upgrading her self, one step at a time.

1) She started to work out regularly

2) She got a nose job

3) Buys well fitting designer clothes

4) Spends money on hair and nails

5) Wears gold jewelry and hand bags.

All of these complement her appearance.

When some girls go to so much effort to look good. While the incel guy does nothing to improve their appearance. And often does the opposite. Terrible diet and sometimes even terrible hygenie. Yet expects to date a girl like this.

"Everything has been invented or considered" is not even close to what I said. I literally do it for a living -- I only work on new products.

I said that OP does not have a novel business idea for other people's companies that have (collectively) 500,000 people working for them.

It's wrong to say that no one will invent anything again. It's also wrong to say that, without deep/insider knowledge of a company, that you are smarter and more creative than 100% of their employees. It's laughably arrogant and/or naive.
The problem is that teaching men to become the kind of men that women want to fuck generates pretty toxic men if there isn’t anything beyond the “fuck.“ I really do believe the old model, where you taught men to be the kind of men that women want to marry, is fundamentally different even though sex and marriage are closely related. A 18-21 year old woman looking for a man to spend the rest of her life with is going to look at a broader set of criteria, and thus incentivize a broader set of achievements by men, than a woman looking to just spend the next hour with a guy. Being the kind of guy who women want to marry, so that you have the broadest choice of women to marry, requires some effort towards the criteria for sexual desirability: muscles, grooming, etc., but also things like having a good reputation in the community, having a good job, being perceived as one who would be a good father, etc.
Again and again, people just refuse to accept that cognitive performance has very clear limits, and that multitasking, skipped breaks and long hours are, at best, a total waste of time. And exponentially so, the more “focus-intensive” the work is.

Why do we have this bias? Is it deeply wired in some sort of survival instinct?
Here is an article on this topic that goes heavily in depth on the topic:

Note that this is for strategic level stealth, which is to say your enemy doesn't even know you're in system. Tactical level stealth is vastly easier, and can be as simple as launching several hundred thousand heated decoys into system before entering yourself - one of these is the attacker, can you find which?

This last strategy is actually what we'd implement if ever anyone tried to seriously develop anti-ICBM technology.

In practice (c) is the most important. The others are probably unnecessary (e.g. (a)) or rarely implicated (e.g. (e), which until the recent Archive.org COVID-19 fight I don't think had even seen any academic discussion, let alone been implicated in an actual lawsuit).

It's not a basic physical need. It's a psychological need. We know, because many people can go years or decades without sex. That's fundamentally different from food, air, water and shelter from the elements.

Not saying it isn't an important psychological need, but it's not a literal "basic physical need". Words mean things.
> 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.

Have you actually talked to or people long enough for them to trust you with their past or current martial issues? Because in my experience, after knowing then for long enough, they start talking for real and completely different pictures emerge.

And really really, you don't know whether people are happy nor what that happiness actualy practically means, until they know for really well. Because most people don't talk about how their relationships looks like from inside.

Tim Cook on Tim Sweeney
It might be worth noting that we don't need to rely on this particular book as a source for this distinction. It is essentially congruent with the necessary/contingent distinction in philosophy.

Other expressions of it include the strategy/tactics distinction and the nomothetic/idiographic distinction. The idea is based on the very ancient observation that phenomena involve both general laws and specific circumstances.

Honestly, the best tool is your own brain. The easiest way to develop that tool is through experience. In a previous role, I did a ton of system level coding in C++ [~10yrs], and no tool can match your own intuition and thinking about the problem at hand.

The best way to develop this is to be mindful of what is happening as the code is executing, in terms of the CPU, the memory and any peripherals or other devices you may be using. So for e.g, be very very comfortable tracing through code in an end-end fashion and not just when it crashes. This way the code paths, intermediate variable values, and everything else is ingrained within you. Your brain will very quickly spot situations where something looks off. As you do this a bunch it will get easier and easier, and you will slowly develop an intuition for these things.

If you're focusing on crash dumps and postmortems, you also need to be aware of what raw memory looks like at the bit level, understand the basics of the CPU architecture, etc. Again, the more you do this the easier it will get.

With most things the big-picture view is always dark and murky when you start out. The knowledge and experience you gain will be the light that you shine to gain a clearer view.

Good luck.

I buy a lot of fresh produce, which is way faster with a good cashier who knows all of the codes. I also tend to buy multiples of an item, which is also way faster when the cashier can swipe one and then hit 6x or whatevs.

And that's assuming the self-checkout system is working perfectly, which is rare. They often have some janky anti-theft sensors that freak out if you remove a bag or item from the bagging area. Self-checkout is fine or maybe even better if you have a few items, but for a cart full of groceries, it is inarguably way slower than a decent human cashier.

> can someone smarter/more educated than me explain to me why practically I would prefer this over a computational solution?

Practical effects always feel better over computational ones - in terms of feedback.

Which is weird to say because it only really happened for me after digital cameras gave instant previews with zoom & I could tweak/click while getting to know some new hardware.

I did some digital tilt-shifts and then played around with a manual shifted lens once - seeing what you click is so "tactile" (& the bar for it will shift was more computation can be done in preview).

The thing is that the digital thing is still guessing depth with some gradient map, particularly at such a long focal length.

The reason a lot of the in-app portrait modes have improved massively is because there are secondary depth sensors which fill in the data that is needed to compute a good looking depth map.

I wasted a bunch of time with a very cheap (but great) Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D for different bokehs during a party shoot, which turned out to be a fun project "makeable" for a tutorial I was doing later.

And eventually turned to a lensbaby bokeh punchable + a lot of vinyl clips of random shapes (mostly Om/ॐ shapes for temple pictures).

I'm sure I could get a digital solution for that, but it involved a lot less work to punch a pattern and go nuts with it.

Gene drives are a way to spread a modification to all of a population because the genetic change has more than a 50% chance of making it into a gamete, all the way up to 100%, so it multiplies up over generations.

> From the moment computers were networked, more people wanted to do more things over those networks, and both infrastructure and underlying technology had to grow to barely keep up

It's not exactly the same, but this rings at least somewhat similar to what Ethereum is going through - the demand is pretty clearly there (people are willing to pay very hefty transaction fees to use it), and scaling solutions are just starting to launch that are enabling entirely new features, which I imagine will unlock another wave of demand.
Not necessarily -- it could just as well imply that 19-29 year old women are having entirely-monogamous sex with men outside (hopefully above) the 18-29 range.

Also, that 18-29 chart is about people looking for a relationship. The data about actually-having-sex [1] used different age ranges, breaking up 18-24 and 25-34. It shows a spike of no-sex in 18-24 men, which evens out with women once they're into the 25-35 range. The article didn't use the handy graph in figure 1 from the study which was quite informative: [2]

I'd love to use something like Plot or Vega but this is exactly why I am still using D3. Zoom, Delaunay tooltips, and extensible interactivity that I can get to work well in a React based application are very important. Unfortunately Vega's solution to anything interactive seemed incredibly awkward to me at the time.

The only time it seemed like Vega made sense was publication style graphics which was unfortunate.
Once you can read something from the disk (especially pertinent for HDDs), I recommend using `ddrescue`, at least on unixes including MacOS. It will dump as much of the disk as it can, and only then will repeatedly go over the unreadable sectors in hopes of extracting something from them. This approach prevents botching the whole disk by plowing the dead sectors while the rest is still readable. And it can be enough for something like photos and media where some lost kilobytes don't mean much.
I really take offense to the notion that simply for criticizing the feminist movement or acknowledging the romantic power dynamic, I "resent women". Nor have I implied that "this one thing gives women all of the power". Neither of these are arguments, instead they are cheap, disingenuous dismissals which only stifle meaningful discussion.

I am merely explaining that this is a particular domain over which women have massively disproportionate power, however feminists refuse to acknowledge the existence of this power while claiming to be in pursuit of social equality.

A movement which seeks to re-engineer social norms in pursuit of "equality" is bound to disenfranchise men if this power dynamic is ignored. The result is movements like "incels". None of this implies that men are entitled to access to female bodies, but there is an inescapable give and take. If women are to be treated the same as men in all domains, then restructuring romantic interactions while maintaining the onus on men to bear the brunt of initiation and rejection unfairly shifts the power dynamic in favor of women.

And this has consequences for women too. Indirectly, in that frustrated men are likely to withdraw and/or become antisocial (criminally or violently). And directly in that it shifts the dating dynamic toward hypergamy, where many females compete for a small proportion of men. Though perhaps there is an argument that some or most women prefer a polygamist arrangement, but I don't know if that's the case and it certainly is detrimental to men. Monogamy is a social norm which maximizes romantic equity for both men and women, not merely a patriarchal construct. Regardless of the argument of bodily autonomy, the romantic/social marketplace is an economy and can be modeled with the same sort of inequality measures that we apply to financial economies, with consequences for the function and overall happiness of society.

Firstly you are presuming cattle are grass fed with no fertilizer used. Nitrogen fertilizer and stock feeds use petrochemicals directly or indirectly.

> If cattle numbers are stable for some amount of time

Cattle numbers are mostly static. The amount of methane produced is not trivial, although as you point out not the same class of problem as CO² since CO² is cumulative. Was your 40 year figure the half-life?

For comparison, CFCs break down over many decades (I couldn't find reliable figures) but the ozone hole is still a serious problem (it seriously affects us in New Zealand where I live).
Generally agree with you. I guess I was looking at it a little differently. If I'm talking to an individual, the only thing that matters is what they can do to better themselves now. It's not productive, on an individual level, to say stuff like "if only society was better!"

> I try and fail to get them to open up about their feelings about this or anything else.

To be fair, opening up about my feelings to my family sounds awful. I know I know, society did this to me yada yada.

I learned by watching and doing, not talking about my feelings to my family. College buddies being my wingman and showing me the ropes, etc. and failing until I stopped failing. Then again, last time I dated, "can I buy you a drink" still worked to get a few minutes of face time and I didn't need apps. Not sure what's out there now.

I think talking about my feelings to my family would have done absolutely nothing.

Might be a similar situation to the IntelliJ Bazel extension by Google which is consistently 6-12 months behind the latest release. That extension just jumped to 2020.2 as well.

My guess is that the lag is a consequence of the single version policy in the monorepo. Meaning, you need to upgrade all dependencies on IntelliJ without breaking Google engineer workflows.

I'm trying to have a productive conversation here. The original question was about how to avoid dead bedrooms, and I gave my opinion as well as empirical evidence to back it up. I can't comment on the efficacy of birth control. I can say that we have been in fairly financially unstable times, and I have not found that children cost very much, although I can certainly see how some could spend lots of money on them.

If you want to discuss more about having a good sex life, I'm happy to engage but don't want to get derailed by the contraceptive argument. I will say I'd rather have ten kids, less money and a good marriage than a few kids, lots of money and a terrible marriage.
