That's what countries and governments are for: people and companies pay taxes so other people and taxes count use the infrastructure.

Amazon pays quite a lot of taxes, directly and indirectly. It creates jobs, improves infrastructure etc.

Anyway, that's offtopic: whether Jess should be in jail because he violated the law and whether someone should pay more taxes are completely different topics.
Thanks, that is some insight into why men who are primarily concerned with technical subjects would be unsatisfied with the dating market. However, I wouldn't claim that "almost only women" are concerned with the humanities subjects I mentioned above. Film criticism and scholarship on many branches of literature and music are still fields that draw either predominantly men, or have a pretty even gender balance.
Would you prefer being referred to as “Pantone 4637-C”?

Do you sincerely think people do not realize “hardly anyone is actually black or white”?

Nobody cares what color your skin is. Except, maybe, a dermatologist or a makeup manufacturer.
This is one of the areas where Postgres is so far behind MySQL is embarrassing. Zero downtime migrations in MySQL have been a common method for over 10 years. This solution is far from ideal due to the use of Triggers which can greatly increase the load on the database and slow down transactions. If you don't have a lot of load on your DB thats fine, but if you are pushing your DB this will bring it down.

In MySQL they started with triggers with PT-OSC, but now there is GH-OST which does it with Replication. You can do something like this with Postgres by using Logical replication, but its still requires hand holding, and to my knowledge there is no way to "throttle" the migration like you can with GH-OST. Where I work now we are building all this out so we can have first class online migrations, but the chasm is still pretty big.
And "erupt", "disrupt", and "abrupt", which come from roots literally meaning "out-break", "apart-break", and "away-break", respectively :)

> Your first three paragraphs are all focusing on structural flaws with my suggestion and not technical limitations of encryption itself. The debate has already moved from this is impossible to this is impractical.

I think the flaws are so large, and fixing them so impractical (especially anything involving direct human involvement), that the problem is essentially impossible.

In theory traffic laws should prevent 100% of car accidents. Yet people die every day in traffic accidents.

In theory the judicial system should never execute an innocent person. Yet the US sends people later proven innocent to the electric chair on a semi regular basis.

In theory everyone should have a strong interest is keeping planet earth healthy enough to support human life, yet we’re on a course to cataclysmic climate change.

Alcohol addiction should have ended during prohibition, and weed should be impossible to buy in the US. Yet neither is true.

What on earth makes you think we’ll solve the structural issues with government key escrow for all encryption, when all the evidence suggest that we’re unable to perfectly solve these issues as a species?

> Github is owned by Microsoft. Microsoft won't let you host code that is designed specifically to break the law.

Cool we’ll host it on Gitlab then, or one of many no US hosting providers. We can’t even stop people pirating movies despite the media industry throwing billions at the problem. Do you honestly think we’ll have better luck with crypto?

You wanna see how this story ends? Read up on prohibition America, or just the war on drugs. We’ve been down this road many times, with many different vices, it’s ends the same way every time. Normal people get criminalised, illicit behaviour continues regardless. Organised crime profits from facilitating illicit behaviour. Please explain why you thing crypto is going to be the exception?
I think a sane system would be where a drug is legal to use, and Medicare can decide it's not worth paying for.

Page space doesn't matter, at all. Anyone can produce more Amazon searches in 5 minutes than there are shelves in a retail store. Amazon makes money no matter which page you buy it from AND they charge all the merchants on page 30 for storing their goods in the Amazon warehouses on top of any commission. That's the exact opposite of inventory risk, that's an inventory gold mine. Retail stores can only sell stuff that is physical within arms reach of a customer.

We're talking about retail vs Amazon, not retail vs Alibaba reseller #39146527.
I think it’s a somewhat false dichotomy that splitting up US big tech makes China big tech win. The reason being that splitting up US big tech allow for more competitive US mid tech to arise that can outcompete China big tech in areas where it matters. I suppose you also want to prevent China Big Tech to throw its money around at Mid Tech the way US big tech did in the last 10-15 years.

I've been following Kenji since his earliest days on SeriousEats. He's great, and I'm so glad he has had the opportunity to change all of our lives for the better.

I'm not a fan of watching video content, much prefer reading text. My Kenji consumption has dropped by quite a bit since he's moved to mostly Youtube. He's doing what he wants/loves though, and that's what matters.
Yet, practically all software running on 64-bit x86 machines is compiled without, because the original amd64 released in 2003 lacked it, and distributions still target that. Likewise, MSVC. There would be good reasons for Apple XCode not to, but that doesn't mean they don't.

If you tell MSVC to issue a popcount instruction with "__popcnt64()" (etc.), it will. If you ask Gcc to issue a popcount instruction with "__builtin_popcount()", it will only do it if you have also told it to target an ISA that has one; otherwise it emulates.

The only portable way to get a popcount instruction, thus far, is to use C++'s std::bitset::count() in circumstances where the compiler believes the instruction would work. Pleasingly, Gcc and Clang are both happy to hold an integer type and its std::bitset representation in the same register at the same time, so there is no runtime penalty for a round-trip through std::bitset.

MSVC's standard library implementation of std::bitset does not use the popcount instruction.
Who's to say that they'd remain in low-wage job? They may be wildly wealthy in the future. It's hard to know, since their potential is being squandered by the parents enabling this behavior.

>They don’t make those decisions for the benefit of men. They don’t have to.

But isn't that the parent poster's point? They don't make decisions that make them more attractive for marriage, therefore they're less likely to end up married.

The same argument applies to men too. Men don't have to do things that make them more attractive to women, but they shouldn't be all that surprised when they end up not being attractive to women.
What is what you believe men want in a woman, that's being unfulfilled for these men?

The common male complaint I see isn't "all these women I date are simply not going to fulfill what I need," it's "no women will date me at all" which points at a breakdown in the process way before the point of "what are these men looking for." Hard to imagine these men even have any idea of what they're actually looking for in a relationship, with that lack of experience. You only find out one way...

And for that situation, a woman complaining "so few of these men I see have their shit together" and a man complaining "so few of these women are willing to date me at all" are two sides of the same coin. I think at a societal level, though, you'd be hard pressed to push the view "everyone should simply give up on contributing to society in traditional ways" so the coverage is going to look negatively at the "freeloaders" in the same way it disapproved of someone like Paris Hilton. You see it through a lens of sexism, I see it through a lens of it being hard to sympathize with someone drifting through life chatting meaninglessly on the internet and playing games. BATNA comes into play, too - the person with no options at all seems to be the one with the incentive to make changes. (While for the women here, and the men they are currently dating while ignoring these stay-at-home-and-do-nothing men, there's other, plenty-well-trod advice about compromise being necessary, etc, that's been repeated to death in media of all sorts.)

Maybe we should encourage these men to go become nannies for a few years, to both give them a job and boost their dating profile that way AND to prepare them for being a full-time homemaker if traditional employment simply isn't what they want! I certainly think that should be an option for both genders.

Also, ASD is massively underdiagnosed in girls and women for various reasons to do with societal expectations and a generally accepted better ability to mask autistic traits.

This is such a good point.

For example, there’s fastidious, which is a great to have in at least some members of a team, or to be able to draw on as a skill or trait for oneself; and then there’s the same taken to an extreme which manifests as disorders such as OCD, hoarding, etc.

> Your inability to pick your subscriptions

It's the ability to easily stop a subscription. And considering the amount of stuff out there that makes it as hard as humanly possible to cancel a subscription (there's an entire Bojack episode making fun of this with newspaper subscriptions) I appreciate this quite a lot. Because it's VERY hard for me to do something simple for a lot of people like make a phone call and wade through an absurd phone tree to get to the actual way to stop someone from taking money from me. Or potentially other stuff like that.

> hardly a justification

It's more than just Apple's UI around subscriptions like you pointed out. It's just one example of something that I really appreciate. I also appreciate their work on privacy, that apps from their store are generally safe to download and open, that apps from their store will work well on my phone and interact with my device in the manner that I expect, that I can do things like control notifications, prevent access to my contact list, etc. There's a lot of stuff that "just works", that I can prevent from messing with me if I don't want it to, and it's often only a single step to do so, which helps me function on a day-to-day basis.

> enduring 2x slower phone CPUs because the app I need is not allowed in Apple app

Are you saying that you have to use an Android device which is slower because something you need to function is not allowed in the Apple App Store? If so: I am legitimately sorry that you are forced into that position. This is something I would viciously advocate to be fixed. But not by opening up the floodgates for bad actors to do even WORSE things because there isn't a behemoth standing behind them, threatening them with destruction if they don't follow the rules. (and there are still issues even there as scam apps show, and I desperately want those to be fixed as well for the sake of everyone)

> that violates anti-monopoly laws.

I cannot say whether or not Apple's App Store violates anti-monopoly laws. And unless you're a lawyer, and if you are then I will defer to your judgment, I don't know if you can legitimately claim to know that either. People on HN love to sling around the "monopoly" word a lot when it comes to Apple, but it could very easily be the case that by and large people who say that are just armchair lawyering and have not studied enough of law/case law to say anything about whether or not that's actually true.
I remember hearing lynne rossetto kasper interviewing the host of america's test kitchen one time, and him just being extremely aggressive about the idea that he was here to come and Objectively Improve on the way your grandmother used to do things. what I love about j kenji lopez alt's stuff is that he does.... very much not that, even while he's experimenting to get into the nuts and bolts of a recipe. he's respectful of traditions and individual taste and shortcuts that may be worth it to home cooks even if they're not The Right Way.
>The parental home can be a refuge, but also a trap that keeps young men from launching their careers.

This took me a while to realize in my own experience, but certainly opened my eyes to how my own parents enabled me in this trap. "Stay at home to save money!" was constantly said to me, only for me to eventually realize, it is in fact stunting me. My dad would occasionally say "go out and do something," but meanwhile, I'd be interrogated for doing said thing so they can know every detail about it. It's why I tended toward videogames and the computers in general. They were things I could do by myself without an inquisition into my own life seeing as I barely was able to do anything privately.

While I personally was only a NEET for a few months at a time for about a year, I never was fully committed to the lifestyle. Ultimately for myself I had massive reality check in how the world worked and I could at least have a modicum of success in it. Partly also to blame is heavy religion not coinciding with the culture as well as not teaching a kid how to adapt to society so I always felt like an outcast. Eventually I became atheist and eventually determining what it would take for me to give up, I finally broke free. It was very much like in Office Space where you just don't care anymore. You don't care if you make a faux pas, don't care if you couldn't meet that deadline, don't care if you disappointed someone.

It snapped me out of it, but also made me into a very bitter on the inside. Knowing my parents didn't exactly want me staying at their house led to further feelings of being resented for existing. So I ended up being pretty sociopathic knowing I can't tell people my true intentions for doing things. I realize it's messed up and wrong, but much like the story of the scorpion and the frog, it's in my nature. I at least am cognizant that it's wrong, but I refuse to change because I've been able to find success in it.
An additional perspective is that Rossman’s 5-min free repair cost Apple $1000+ in revenue.

Apple can totally scale repair but it won’t be as cheap and profitable.

So what they scale instead is lying to their customers.

The Genius Bar employee presented a lie as a certain fact. They didn’t say that there’s more to be found out, that humidity indicators are sometimes unreliable etc.

They went with the highest grossing lie.

That’s a policy.

Having such policies calls for legislation protecting the customer and giving independent repair some chance.

You’re absolutely correct, which is why I chose to phrase my post to say that the parent was taking a truth (women are increasingly choosing career over kids) and expressing it in what I consider to be bad faith. I don’t think that’s acceptable.

I also seriously doubt that the claims about women not living up to some standard of attractiveness or femininity are true, misogynistic or not.
Approached from a novelty perspective, I think the exception is size and profit margin. These companies are simply too big (in terms of cash on hand & ability to generate profits). That's always been the problem with monopolies -- they get there, and then no one can compete.

Which in this case seems a consequence of first mover advantage + capital-light tech scaling (aka large profit margins) + huge total addressable markets.

Compared to Saudi Aramco's total profits -- Apple makes 63%, Microsoft makes 44%, Google makes 39%, Facebook makes 21%, & Amazon makes 13%. [0]

And that's compared to a business that literally pumps money out of the ground.

I'm saying an increase in diagnoses recently is in large part due to a historical underdiagnosis rather than an increasing frequency of children born with ASD. However, the paper hints at environmental factors being responsible for a proportion of the increase (but does not cite evidence to prove it).

According to https://www.ni.com/en-no/support/documentation/supplemental/... (Seems kinda reputable at least)

"The level of charge in each cell must be kept within certain thresholds to maintain data integrity. Unfortunately, charge leaks from flash cells over time, and if too much charge is lost then the data stored will also be lost.

During normal operation, the flash drive firmware routinely refreshes the cells to restore lost charge. However, when the flash is not powered the state of charge will naturally degrade with time. The rate of charge loss, and sensitivity of the flash to that loss, is impacted by the flash structure, amount of flash wear (number of P/E cycles performed on the cell), and the storage temperature. Flash Cell Endurance specifications usually assume a minimum data retention duration of 12 months at the end of drive life."
I get where you're coming from but don't think it's snobbery per se. There are things he prefers that I don't prefer. Over the years I've come to just understand that he & I have different tastes.

A great example would be his obsession with crispy potatoes in all things potatoes. Sure, sometimes I love a shatteringly crisp fry. Other times I want something mushy. Same with roasted potatoes. But I don't ever feel put down by him for wanting mushy potatoes.
I suppose that prior art influences things. In my case, I went "a separate text editor won't fit, I need a REPL", and that basically filtered to just Forth and Lisp. It would be interesting to see what subset of Lisp would fit in a bootsector, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Thanks for sharing. Do you think there is ever a scenario where information should be censored from the public at large? (Child porn, or you or your family getting ‘doxxed’, for example)

I appreciate the take that the future harm isn’t worth the benefit today, since we’d enable future arbiters to control what is available.

There’s nuance in determining what is a public sphere vs. a privately controlled platform. The places with the most distribution are currently private, but crypto could change that to where we collectively own the platform, effectively making it publicly owned. Does that change your thoughts on when censorship is appropriate?
Strict product liability usually only applies to commercial sellers. That doesn't directly answer your question, but suffice it to say there are bodies of law that exist to answer that question. It's certainly not a new question as flea markets, garage sales, charity drives, and many other situations long predate Amazon and eBay.
I have a good friend who is working in HR. She used to be in hiring, now she is in the talent and development stream. We are not in the same company.

A few weeks ago I was speaking about my impression that my company is forcing women into promotions and positions just for the sake of reaching targets. I said that it felt unfair towards male colleagues.

Her reply was something like this: Men had the advantage for thousands of years, now it is OK if they suffer and that women receive the advantage. This will balance it out.

I disagreed because the peers that those girls are competing against were not part of the "bad white old man" system. She disagreed and said that some "eye for eye is necassary".
We ran out of frontier, and are rapidly running out of the sort of high-risk, high-reward opportunities that get young men excited. We need a new gold rush.

No one wants to sit in a cubicle for 35 years, grinding out pennies while having all your value extracted by a cadre of semi-literate, power-tripping middle managers who punish anyone that displays talent. Not only have a series of crashes in 2008 and 2020 firmly demonstrated just how rigged the game is, but everyone can see what everyone else is doing on social media. There's little opportunity to trick these men into believing they should work hard when they can clearly see so many people skating through life without any effort, and watch laborers have their livelihoods stripped from them during crashes while billionaire fortunes double. Bloomberg has lost the plot completely, they don't yet realize that the jig is up.

Want to get people excited about work? Bring back drinking and loud music at the office. Let people be themselves without having to put on a deliriously upbeat, false persona while sitting through endless, pointless meetings about nothing. Stop asking them to constantly fellate the worthless middle management caste. Pay them well.
If you take the subject and the adjacent subjects you get mostly women though, even if specific courses are more balanced. It is the same in technical courses, some of them like chemistry and biology have more even balance but overall there aren't a lot of women.
