Incredible to read this... the top-15 of most productive countries [1] are all European save for the US and Australia, which are populated with a huge population of European descent.

The education system has turned into the equivalent of those kindergarten karate classes where if you show up and do the fake moves and pay the money; they give you an ever increasing number of belts (degrees).

For whatever reason, women will go into debt or be allowed to go into debt to get useless degrees and there is no countervailing force to say: “uh marine biology is cool but…$500,000?”

This has lead to a situation where women have gotten 13 million more colleges degrees than men over the last few decades.

Meanwhile I think a lot of men go: “eh; yeah no.”
My team found the tinder vuln, there are still plenty of location based apps that have that vuln...plenty. :(
Anecdata from myself here but I've recently hit top tax in Denmark. I'm ambitious but have started to feel like it's just not worth it scrabbling for an extra 2 or 3k a month when most of it disappears down the end of a hoover.

I don't even know how millionaires who can afford their incredible estates in the countryside do it. My first thought was tax havens but I don't know if that's true. It seems like the entire system is set up to disembowel such ambitions.

I assumed it was sarcasm.
Of course it is. ;-)
> Ha! "I was completely inside" What else needs to happen for you to think there might be an element of being unsafe?

If a thing happens once, you decide it's categorically unsafe? Not a freak accident?

Must be rough for you to actually do anything, given the how many possibilities there are to accidentally die doing basically anything.

This is one of the most interesting insights into gender divides, and years ago I think I recall seeing a link here on HN to an essay by someone who tied this insight into dynamics down to a cellular (ie sperm have a wider and flatter curve than eggs) and genetic level (men seem to have a higher incidence of both genetic defects and beneficial mutations).

I can't seem to find it again (much less speak to its accuracy). Does anyone have an idea what this might be?

Well, decades ago, men did run the world, to all intents and purposes.

In the end, one may talk about all the startups (when the BPI pumps billions into it, I sure hope there are some startups and medium companies), but EU has proven unable to build an Apple. It would be dismantled here, and CEO beaten up before reaching any interesting level. DailyMotion (French) was as big as Youtube. Many others like this. We always end up #2, and the Silicon Valley still decides what is ok to say on our smartphones in EU, which is a lot of soft power, and means we live under foreign cultural domination.

This is the price of being #2. Loss of leadership of our own country.

This description is UE startups in a nutshell :) Countries like Poland for example, get massive amount of money from the EU, and there are business that specialize only in getting grants for people, which then they use to make a "company" for a year or two, and when the money runs out they close it and reopen another one with the next grant. With no revenue stream idea what so ever. In this type of country's if you have a EU grant base company, you are a meme.

Italy on the other hand, dose not use the grants, because here nobody have a clue what's the point of a company, what it means to work to build something successful, and if you talk to an Italian about the grind, or working a minimum of 16h a day, they look at you as a complete lunatic - while complaining that they don't have money. Well... Either you grind or you meet every day with your friends for an Aperitivo, and live the Dolce Vita.
There are some design tradeoffs in garbage collector design, particularly for moving/compacting collectors. If programs in your language tend to create lots of objects and rarely mutate them, then you'd want to make tradeoffs that push complexity/expense into the write barrier implementation.

IIRC, the .NET GC team were surprised at how poorly their GC performed in the first attempts to implement Haskell for .NET.

Another tradeoff for a classic 3-color tracing concurrent or incremental garbage collector is what the write barrier does when adding a reference to a maybe garbage (white) object from an already traced (black) object. The color invariant is that traced objects may never have references to garbage. In order to maintain the invariant, either the white object needs to be marked grey or the black object needs to be marked grey. If further modifications of the black object this cycle are unlikely, then the correct thing to do is to push the GC cycle forward by marking the white object grey. If further mutations of the black object are likely, the right thing to do is to defer potentially wasted work by marking the black object grey. Some garbage collectors make this decision on a per-type basis. For instance, IIRC LuaJIT's GC will mark black Tables grey if adding a white reference, and for other types, the GC will mark the white object grey. Languages that discourage mutation would tend to be tuned to mark white objects grey, and languages that tend to encourage mutation would tend to be tuned to mark black objects grey.

There's also the fact that all abstractions are leaky. If the semantic difference between your language and Go are small, then if you target Go, you can be relatively confident that the Go compiler has spent its finite complexity budget wisely for your language. If your source language semantics are very different from Go, then the Go compiler may skip some optimizations that would really help your programs, and may spend a lot of time in analysis that's unlikely to speed up your programs much.

It's actually pretty good! I'd nitpick some minor details or change some emphasis but you're close enough that it's basically being a dick to nitpick at that level.

The only real mistake is this: "a resistor... wastes a ton of power". In fact it wastes exactly as much power as a current source, which is basically just a variable resistor that sets itself to the proper value. Of course, it's still useless for anything dynamic.

Certainly a cliché can be true. Repeating true things doesn't mean you're not repeating them.
I agree about most startups fail. I wanted to share my perspective that's totally opposite of OPs for those who are thinking about working for startups or becoming founders.
I totally agree with you that the EU's efforts to replicate a SV style startup ecosystem are misguided and ineffective.

The comment however was about the EU not being a good place to start a business. Personally I ignore all that stuff you mentioned. We just focus on building a good product. And the EU is a great place for that. I have many acquaintances that have built a multi-million euro business in the last decade.
Kevin samuels is a trip. I mean I intuitively understood a lot of what he says but to see all these women claim to be 9s and 10s when they are 3s and 4s and expecting men to make 500k+ is unreal. Women today are seriously delusional

There was a study on domestic violence a few years ago. It broke down DV into asymmetric violence (one violent person) and symmetric violent (both people).

It found that the overwhelming bulk of DV was symmetric. In asymmetric cases, it was actually perpetuated by the woman in some 2/3 of cases. Further, in symmetric violence, the women admitted to starting the encounters 2/3 of the time.

Likewise, if a weapon is involved in DV, it was used by a woman in something like 4 out of 5 cases.

In most places, the law is to arrest the bigger party even if they were NOT the aggressor. Further, the law often dictates that an arrest is MANDATORY. This combination makes it easy to arrest large numbers of men which then plays havoc with the DV statistics.

As another data point, DV between gay (male) partners is several times less than heterosexual partners while DV between lesbian partners is several times higher.

No worries! I'm just glad that we actually have what you were asking for. I wasn't sure :)
So, what is your take on this? Do we ignore the fact that the top of our society is dominated by men and only focus on the men in the 40th to 60th percentile of income? Even then, you would see a similar pattern between the earning potential between men and women. I just fail to see where men are getting a raw deal here.
Why wouldn't they be? Just because people read dumb things doesn't mean they are dumb themselves.
I was totally expecting this to go in the direction about tech debt with a homeless analogy, but it was about destructability. Yes we know this already and if you catch people treating it as a persistent host, slap their hands and say no.
You're speaking in past tense about baggage you carry. No one is keeping score but yourself. The only way your life will improve is tackling your issues instead of making excuses for them. I say this with kindness, you need to get over it. If playing video games or watching YouTube all day is really the "absolute last thing" you want then act like it. You make your own opportunities, outside of that it's simply luck.
An interesting part of this conversation is that there are strong subtexts that often have more weight than the actual words in driving how people actually answer.

We are not suddenly all equal, but it's becoming more so, and that seems to be a problem. Eventually hopefully anyone will be able to do whatever they like in life without expectations put on them because of things they have no control over.

Thermal Storage Test Milestone at the 700 MW DEWA CSP Plant
The support team doesn't seem to read the details because it's either an automated AI or an "automated" human limited to canned responses by some internal protocol. If you lost access to an online service it's never because something went wrong on their end, the assumption is that you can either login without issues or you're a malicious actor.

That's why I hate so many services want my phone number for security. I changed my number this year and almost lost access to my Paypal account because of this. They could use a backup E-Mail for security, or FIDO2 support, but one stopped being trendy and the other seemingly won't be supported for another decade judging by adoption so far.
The point of this comment was not that men should be bought down, but that being asked to consider someone else feels like an imposition when you're not accustomed to doing that.
Is there a list somewhere of midrange to high-end phones, Apple or Android, that have LCD or exceptionally high quality OLED displays? I find I am very sensitive to the "Bayer matrix" style subpixel arrangement in OLED panels and I freak out anytime I scroll someone else's OLED phone screen. (It might also be the flicker, as this article suggests, though I'm not usually sensitive to PWM artifacts, at least not when I've done LED driver work before.)

Also, 240 Hz is criminally low for a PWM frequency. Individual LEDs are trivial to PWM with a 240 kHz carrier these days, though obviously that's not a whole matrix's worth.
Hi, I'm Asian, graduated from a state school with a humanities degree, worked my way from tech support at a tiny startup into engineering, and now (several jobs later) work as a software eng at Stripe. I've met plenty of other engineers here with non-traditional backgrounds.

I think you're:
1. way too hard on yourself. If you broaden your scope just a bit, you'll see that Amazon is an elite engineering organization.
2. buying way too much into phony credentialism. I don't make a big deal out of it, but personally I consider being able to hold my own engineering-wise while having gone to a state school as a badge of honor.
3. giving way too much headspace to comparing yourself with others in envy. There's always someone better, smarter, etc. I find them around me all the time. I choose to see them as mentors and role models, rather than rivals or competitors.

> I should have done research in high school and I should have gotten at least two first author papers to a top conference in undergrad - instead I got 2 2nd author papers to medium tier conferences because I could never come up with any compelling research ideas. All of my work is ultimately meaningless because it just wasn’t enough - it’s extremely depressing.

I don't think you're ever going to be satisfied if this is your definition of success. You should try to find meaning in the work itself, not in the recognition or status that comes from it.

Good luck!
You are very presumptuous and should consider changing your rhetorical style as it is very off-putting.

> Of course there are dull people out there but do you think that most people without college degrees are dull

I meant precisely what I said. I don't intend to make a broad statistical statement based on my limited personal annecdotes.

> While you were in college all the non-dull non-college people were out there having different life experiences than you-- learning things you don't know about.

I don't have a college degree. There are many thing I don't know about, which is why I like talking to educated people.

> In many ways education makes us more homogeneous.

I strongly disagree. ”Education” only creates homogeneity to the degree to which educational institutions focus on indoctrination over education.

I strongly support enouraging education for people of all genders, ethnicities, intelligences and socio-economic backgrounds because I think it will make the world a more interesting (and better) place.
As a woman, that's a good thing. Equality is equality the bad and the good. But I feel like many people of all genders have a hard time adapting.
Negotiating ransoms: when to play and when to fold
Still seems reasonable for preventing an outside attack though.
> If you look in the wrong places on the internet, media, or daily life, all you see is negativity towards masculinity.

This line surprised me, because I find it _far_ easier to stumble over mysogyny, casual or not. In the latter case, comitted by some of the men discussed here.

Ultimately, I think a lot of this is, on both 'sides', is people mistaking their toxic little corner of the internet for the real world. It is important not to be dragged into their worldview, because it is utterly incorrect. (Men are not any less supported than women, also, men do not have anything coming. In fact, men are not a singular group! So stop identifying with 'men', where we imagine some lucky billionaire as exemplar of men.)
> Or is it because rent growth outpaces wages?

I think this is incomplete by itself. Taking a couple of points from the article:

- Women are less likely than men to live at home with their parents.

- The increase in men living at home with their parents is primarily driven by those without college degrees (15->25% among those without college degrees over the last 25 years, 10->13% among those with college degrees).

Per [0], in 2019, there was a 8 point gender gap among young adults (25-29) for college degrees (associate's and above).

[0] https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/pdf/coe_caa.pdf

A guess at a fuller explanation might then be that wage growth for jobs that don't require a college degree haven't kept up with rent growth, and the gender gap here is driven by the gender gap in educational attainment.

One other thing that I observed:

If you look at the labor force participation graph in the article, it slowly trended downwards from the 60s, and then suddenly jumped down around 2008-2011, and since then stayed mostly flat until last year.

Meanwhile, the fraction of young men living at home rose steadily from the 60s until the mid-90s, dropped for a few years, and then resumed climbing after 2000 (with no such jumps around 2009 or 2020).

On one hand, we have these economic shocks (Great Recession, pandemic) that force a bunch of men out of the labor market, but at the same time, more men are living at home even as labor force participation remained largely constant throughout most of the 2010s. That reads to me like it refutes the article's central claim of correlation between these two variables.
In my country people living with the minimum wage will never be able to go "FIRE" or even retire. They earn about 10 usd a day or about 260 a month have to commute for about 2 hours each way and have one day off each two weeks.

Even I a young tech worker know I will never get a pension and I will never own a "proper house" the closest I will get to that will be more like a caged house in Taiwan.
