> Forbes and Psychology Today are long-tail low-relevance now?

The publications are not, their discussion of "toxic femininity" is. Discussions of "toxic masculinity" have long been the hegemony.

> Nobody is attacking competence as toxic

I see this happening a lot. Particularly, that men who are in positions of power (might own their own company, or run other companies) have only reached where they are, because they benefit from a corrupt patriarchy, not because of their competency and willingness to work.

> What is actually critiqued is a normalization of social violence, commenting on bullying or assault with "oh, boys will be boys," dismissal of feelings with "walk it off," the idea that real men don't go to therapy or turn to people for emotional help, etc etc.

Why is this called "toxic masculinity"? To flip it around, could you imagine "toxic femininity" being used to a describe a woman not wanting to pursue engineering because she thinks it isn't what women typically are seen to do? Why would you say it is "toxic masculinity" when a man doesn't want to talk about his feelings, because it isn't what men typically are seen to do?

The critique is accompanied with the idea that masculinity is itself a social construct, and if only boys/men could be freed from this social construct, then they will be free from "toxic" aspects of masculinity.

However arguably this isn't the case, and leads you to worse outcomes for men and boys. For example, to "stop bullying" a headteacher in the UK banned (typically boys) from playing football at break times. [1] I don't believe masculinity is entirely a social construct, and here boys are being deprived of ways to positively express their masculinity, through competition and team building. I also think there is a difference in how men and women typically bond, with men tending to bond more through activities.

Male bonding through shared activities is something that has declined a lot in the US (see the book "Bowling Alone"). If men are finding it more difficult today dealing with emotional issues, the answer may not be that they need to deal with their "toxic masculinity" by "speaking more", but they are actually suffering from their lack of ability to identify with other men through shared activities.

It isn't, in other words, their own fault, but rather a shift in society, which in this individual example, would rather ban a game that involves competition and winners, in case there are losers, or exclusion. "Toxic masculinity" isn't therefore the issue, rather it would be a lack of ability to express masculinity.

"Unstructured games can sometimes lead to nasty comments, aggressive behaviour or children feeling left out, she added."

> There is something self-defeating about large tech companies.

If you remove "tech" from this sentence I think it's still true, and it points you towards the solution: bias the economy towards small companies (for example, via progressive corporation tax). There's a bit of nuance here: I think a lot of the problem is with public companies. So we could probably do a lot by reforming the public ownership system.
if they find free market buyers for 100 year debt at current interest rates, sure. I'm not sure there will be many, so the central banks would end up buying most of it themselves.

Soros is also advocating perpetual bonds for the EU/ECB, especially Club Med countries, with the whole union guaranteeing the debt. Northern EU member states are already subsidising the south/east member states, something like this would set it in stone for a long time.

I built my house with union labor (union shop) and found the level of competence higher than was typical with jo the random contractor (of course there are exceptions, and for some jobs it doesn’t matter).

Likewise with the machine shop a few jobs ago: although we weren’t a union shop, for some jobs we hired contractors in for the union members produced better work, especially for the safety critical stuff.

I have no experience with unions outside the skilled trades — certainly there are many horror stories.
>Reddit PR

As of late, default subs are frequently flooded with pro-CCP disinformation when any article painting China in a negative light, or (especially) Taiwan in a positive light, is posted.

I'd say that reddit PR for China is doing quite well, when the top comment in a thread is anti-CCP, often other top comments are pro-CCP (and filled with disinformation)

One of the things to think about is that shareholder value really is supposed to amount to what the company as a whole is fundamentally worth.

Maybe about what the company would sell for if it was for sale, or what a comparable company would cost to build. Seems most realistic and still quite difficult to pinpoint a total value. But this is where most private small companies are with an intimate group of partners holding illiquid shares having no market effect. Company growth and building shareholder value are synonymous with each other. Delighting customers has one of the strongest effects.

Anything less realistic is going to be an even less accurate estimate and this can happen with highly liquid shares where the market itself has inflated their recognized value well beyond the underlying assets. These certificates can be more like fiat currency, many companies went public so they can print more according to retail demand.

And fiat currency has an incredible advantage in its ability to be manipulated. Backed by the full faith & credit of a company believed to be strong.

Are all of these people so faithful or creditworthy?

Or is their company really that strong after they kick out half the people and sell off the crown jewels and it makes the share price go up?

Delighting customers at this point may already be out-of-reach.

Here's a thought I've been tossing around: It's a community college, everyone is supposed to pass. At some point at the bottom of intelligence but with motivation to go to school and try and work and do the assignments, meritocracy literally doesn't matter. Because a diploma is needed even for minimum wage jobs.

Why penalize people who are trying by failing them out of the simplest classes?

Rich idiots fail up, poor idiots end up homeless. No reason to penalize the poor who try when the entire game is arbitrary. This position tends to make certain groups bristle, especially those with a classist sense of "fairness".
Pension funds are required to own some percentage of their assets in govt bonds. Also, many high net worth individuals have a strong preference for safe assets like govt bonds. And then there are speculators who think interest rates will fall and they'll make killing by actively trading on long term bonds. So, there will be buyers. Not all of it is being purchased by central banks.

The top 5 have recruited over a million people between 2000 and 2018. That's an average of about 50,000 new recruits per year. Not all of those are in engineering of course, and those are global numbers, but still they hire tens of thousands of engineers every year. Here in the UK local software companies constantly complain that the cream of every year's CS grads emigrate to the US.

"The usual story. Everything works, until it doesn't."

But the same is true of all the other orchestration tools isn't it?

I've had similarly complicated problems with Terraform, Ansible, Chef and Puppet and just plain Linux as I have had with Kubernetes. Meanwhile K8S saves a lot of time when things do work properly - which is nearly always.

A while ago, we had an issue with dotnet where the JIT was sometimes emitting bad instructions and crashing the process. That was an absolute bloody nightmare to debug and reproduce, it took weeks - but nobody would say running a high level language is bad because the compiler might have a bug, right?

We are a small company (under 20 developers), we have one dedicated ops person and one devops, and have never had any issues with k8s that couldn't be resolved by one of them within a few hours. We run a monorepo with 6 app services as part of our core product, 10 beta/research services, then a handful more infrastructure services (redis etc.), and honestly it's been the smoothest environment I've ever worked with. All the infrastructure is defined in code, can be released onto a blank AWS account (or k3s instance) in minutes, all scales up and down dynamically with load, and most of the time something goes wrong it's a bug in our code.

Maybe the problem with your system was more about the excessive use of microservices and general system architecture rather than Kubernetes itself?

“Programs = data structures + algorithms”

If you have more than one program, they need shared data and access procedures, like the “user” and “the hardware”. Who manages them: The OS?

Maybe you want to share a bit more like some common higher level functionality. That becomes part of the OS, de jure (resident kernel) or at least de facto (loadable kernel modules).

NYC is about 8% of the US economy (and much more if you consider second order effects) - so their successes and failures are inevitably going to impact the entire country. At the very least, NYC (for example) being successful is something that I think should be of national interest not just local interest.

There are a lot of places like this in my opinion, where a large investment in a seemingly local thing would have national impact.

It's a bit suspect, right? I mean, he sacrifices his wife (ok, he didn't know she was alive, and not publishing the book now guarantees nothing) and possible his son... And the CCP comes out looking super bad. Not that I think they are not capabale of this, but everything, combined with the book coming out and this being the perfect PR for it... It sets of some bells.

Then again, CCP may be so blunt intentionally, just to set of some bells or warn other citizens. Maybe they even have some (fabricated) counter evidence ready to go or something.

If it's legit, my comment is really bad and I apologize. What a hero in that case, although, the wife is even more the hero. Or isn't she. What a situation. No one should have to live through this. 4 years, what a nation.
Ask HN: How to match people without storing what they have in common?
Hello HN,

Regarding some upcoming elections, I want to create a website where people can "match" based on who they want to vote for. It's not a dating site, it's about finding a "procurator" to people who cannot vote the day of the election.

The profiles will only consist in some contact information and (optionally) for which candidate they want to vote. People will match in priority with those who want to vote for the same candidate (in this case, it's easier to trust that the person voting on your behalf will do the right thing).

I think I know well enough how to make the website secure, but I don't want to leave anything to chance: is it possible to somehow protect/encrypt this data so that if the database leaks no one can find who each person wants to vote for?

Thanks!

Except that the argument Chomsky makes about the fact that this research would have no purpose in a society that treats people as individuals, ie not a racist society, is certainly valid, but the current progressivism is to do the opposite, ie to define people by their race/sex, and to count the number of people of each race or sex in organisations, and to call racism/sexism if it is not exactly the population distribution.

That’s the argument Murray makes in his latest book, i.e. that differences in distributions is a toxic topic that he has been trying to stay clear of since the Bell Curve, given all the griefs he got for it. But the claims of systematic racism or sexism when you don’t have matching representation everywhere can only be opposed if you get into this ugly discussion.

If you invest it (e.g. in long lasting infrastructure) it’s generally worth it. If you borrow to meet current obligations it’s generally not. (“Generally” is the kicker).

There are other good reasons to borrow from a macroeconomic perspective (e.g. a liquidity crisis). In such a case you hope the side effects are less than the primary effects. This case is like the doctors’ Hippocrateic Oath: yes, first do no harm, but sometimes you have to cut a hole in the patient to heal them.

The end result between nurture vs nature might be the same, but if it's all nurture, than "we can change it" and no price is too high to get to "the new man".

If it's not, even the best funded policies with the best intentions can only get you so far, and inequality will remain. Not because of a conspiracy that is keeping some down while lifting others up, but because of nature.

I do believe that it would be good on all counts if they would accept genetics, because it would allow for asking much better questions, but I can see why they can't: they're heavily invested in the opposing position and few people are happy to just throw away an investment.

> there seems to be no issues acknowledging reality of differences in physical attributes that are due to genetics.

That's true, but maybe that's because they matter less? I.e. if inequality was primarily defined by height or beauty, they might have a harder time with it. Intelligence & related non-physical things are more important, I believe everybody intuitively accepts that.

This famous hoax has been debunked many times. For a start, the countries where women pursue IT and science the most, are the most patriarchists (Turkey, Iran, Algeria, Middle-east, etc...). The more relaxed are gender-roles, the more women choose to study arts and litterature, or "gender studies", the same who then complain that there are not enough women building trains.

Second, as many in the west have seen here, we were all pushed towards studying, pursuing masters, etc. This was the policy in most of the western countries (some may say this was silly but this is another debate).
