You don’t need a social life to have a relationship with a woman. I am 30+, still don’t have a social life, but always a relationship. How?

Brute force method.

Increase your search space, search online too, there are many apps like thaifriendly, brute force tinder with a bash script (2000 likes a day) etc. You will have lots of matches, most won’t really talk but eventually it’s jackpot. Try increasing distance and age range too, you are playing lottery. If you are very lazy, consider mail order bride or write an inmate.

I don’t have advice on maintaining a relationship, but this will get you laid.

Don’t talk to them about depression, loneliness or negative topics, avoid talking about sex too. If they ask, you are single for 1.5 year. Don’t worry, everybody lies.

As for depression and suicidal thoughts, talk with a psychologist about that.
I wonder how the maintenance schedule compares with competitor aircraft. Presumably it's less expensive due to fewer moving parts?
Right. As well, the gun mounted in the truck needs to account for real world wind, vehicle recoil/ follow through
Trying to assassinate non-existing nuclear scientists? Yeah that's hard to imagine. Israel already has access to pretty advanced nuclear technology it is not actively trying to develop one like Iran is.
The more I look at the effects of globalization, the more I think free trade is akin to Reagonomics. Basically a huge scam for everyone in a developed country, except the owners of megacorporations. It destroys our ability to manufacture, destroys our middle class, makes us dependent on a geopolitical enemy, destroys any chance of local competition, and in return we get cheap garbage goods.

In reality, what is happening is arbitrage of environmental and labor protections. More and more I think developed nations need to maintain an index that rates every country on these grounds, and strictly enforced tariffs based on that index. I'm all for other countries being able to specialize and out compete, but slave-like working conditions and destroying the environment shouldn't be competitive advantages on a global market.
This body of research is expanding far quicker than I would have imagined pre-pandemic. A true silver lining, I have to say. mRNA vaccine breakthroughs are occurring in cancer research, too. Human trials happening soon! https://www.futuretimeline.net/blog/2021/09/13-mrna-future-c...

I don't care if a country has nukes. I'm much more afraid of what will happen to countries without them: you listed Iraq and we can see the hundreds of thousands of dead civilians.

I doubt it. We don't know what would happen in a fictional hypothetical situation.

People pay for matchmakers all the time.
I'm a little bit more mystified why there aren't more niche shoes being made in the U.S. where buyers are both willing to pay more and where buyers are much more discerning about small differences.

For example weightlifting shoes are absolutely dominated by made in China shoes, and these are not at a low price point. The only made in US weightlifting shoes I know of (Position) are apparently quite poor quality and absolutely blown out of the water by the others (on the other hand, outside of shoes, there is a lot of made in the US weightlifting equipment which is very high quality and apparently enjoys healthy sales as a result).

Maybe I'm missing certain niches? But my uninformed impression is that this is also true for shoes in other sports such as running, and other industries such as construction.
I live in Germany but don't speak (or read) German. Almost all internet sites completely ignore my browser's "preferred language" preference and serve me content in German because I have a German IP address.

So I use a VPN to pretend I'm in the UK, and get English language.

I actually have to turn this off to watch streaming services, because they detect it too easily. The streaming services then cheerfully serve me English UI (because my account preference is for English) but German language content. I understand why, but this is such bullshit.

If you want people to stop using VPN's, then stop assuming that their IP address has anything to do with their physical location, culture, language, bank account region, home address, telephone prefix or anything else.
In my experience of human society, marriage is extremely transactional. It's modern legal form was invented largely to legally codify how wealth transfers related to marriages would be handled, essentially.

A marriage in today's society is more of a business partnership than anything else; infidelity is as common as not. Often in wealthy circles joint business ownership precludes divorce as well, so enter the side partners. Typical aristocratic nonsense, which is what you get with Empires.

No one’s pushing. If PrEP had come out in the 80s, you can be certain that HIV would have been eradicated by now by force of public will.
So what is your solution to the dilemma I pose? Forced memory degradation or prevention of memory transfer?
Violence is always an option and ability for most humans, but we have laws and culture that prevent humans from doing those actions, and some places are better than others than this because of those legal and social differences. Similarly we can choose a similar future in regards to privacy, even with newly evolved tech with their privacy issues.

the threat from China is not speculative see their threats of invading Taiwan.

Apart from legal protection, I’ve found that if you are behind a crappy ISP router, bundling a bunch of Torrent connections in one VPN connection can prevent the router from becoming unstable.
Strange figurative wording aside, I think the author is reiterating that, in order to go "above and beyond" and stand out from the competition, you have to create something novel and radical. And directed more towards art and creative fields.

"Good design" is following all the classic design tips. Like a material website that implements material design correctly, is good design. And this is actually OK and better than "great design" for most situations.

"Great design" needs to stand out. And the only way to stand out is to do something weird. Take some fancy website made out of ASCII: not something you should write your IT software in, but maybe good for a portfolio.

Radical "great design" is really good for art and music: almost nobody cares about a beautiful portrait, people want something strange and creative. It's really bad for software architecture "design": when writing code, you practically never want to stray from the obvious, traditional path. For UX design and websites it's somewhere in the middle, and depends on what the software is for (e.g. business solution UX is less creative, video game is more creative UX).
There is no substantial difference, but the glasses hide it better and therefore have more nefarious uses. Making pictures of someone without consent is prohibited by law in most European countries (Edit: Not quite right, only in some), and people will react negatively if you try to do it.

Glasses that looked almost identical to these Ray Bans used to be available from Chinese wholesale sellers. It has always been hard for me to imagine them getting used by anyone else than creeps for making pictures of women on the beach, etc. Just because they're Ray Ban doesn't suddenly make them noble, on the contrary the resolution is probably higher, which makes these even more problematic spyware.

> You can submit known correct answers for questions, and those questions are then used as ground truth to score worker accuracy. Workers are then scored on their similarity to known correct answers and other workers that have accurately answered questions. It works surprisingly well for how simple it is.

Have you noticed problems that show up with questions whose answers have a bimodal distribution (ie. The gold standard question actually has two or more correct answers)?

In one sense, this is just a labeling quality problem with the 'gold standard' data, but to a lesser extent these same issues may crop up in the data being labeled when using similarity or clustering to rate or classify the workers and transitively apply that to the other results they produce.
This and also once an industry declines the infrastructure to support that industry disappears so a cottage industry has to increase their margins to compensate to even have a chance to break even. Given the risk to reboot its natural to want to recoup as much as possible with scale. Add to this increased wages, inflation etc etc and the breakeven threshold is sufficiently high to be prohibitive save for the overly optimistic, ambitious and well funded. Business is hard sometimes.

However business is not a zero sum game and everyone wins when there are wins. Especially when those wins create new secondary industries Adding to the overall infrastructure that make possible and lower the barrier to entry for everyone else.
I like the structure you described and I'd be interested to join. After my last failed startup, the most important thing for me right now would be the basic income, though.

The sense of loss implied in the title makes sense. But ultimately, were these good jobs to begin with?

The article doesn't even mention the environmental problems associated with curing leather, or making other components. All of those costs have been shipped overseas, along with the jobs.

The problem, of course, is that this practice of having China, Inc. make everything used in this US is increasing reliance on an increasingly problematic country.
I wouldn't think that PowerPC is ill suited for reasonably low power designs. It is a RISC chip after all. And up to and including the G4, they ran very well in the Apple laptops. Only the IBM-made G5 was a very hot beast, perhaps because it pushed the cpu frequency beyond the comfort zone for its process in the attempt to keep up with Intel.
But a fresh design with a modern process could yield very low power and still well performing chips. Even the Itanium, which had a reputation for being power-hungry probably would be efficient enough to be used in a smart phone, if ported to the TSMC 7nm technology.
I like to use GPG-agent’s SSH agent emulation [1]. I start the agent with a systemd user service and have the keys expire after something like 10 minutes. A benefit is that it uses a GUI pinentry dialog to ask for your password if the requesting program doesn’t have stdin from a terminal, e.g. if I try to git push from Fugitive inside vim. I find that GPG-agent is more intuitive and less finicky than SSH-agent.

Picking the Right Investors
I've joked to friends (but would follow through) that if they introduce me to my future wife I would give them 5k. That is such a small amount of money to help you find the most important person in your life.

I think its a bit worse to pay for dates/access which is the entire premise of dating apps, matchmakers, clubs etc. because those dont have a vested interest in helping you find anything long and successful. In fact, its the opposite.
It’s a terrible deal as Australia initially had France redesign a nuclear powered submarine to be Diesel Electric. There was also massive negotiations and posturing from both governments about building the submarines locally.

Fast forward a few years and the Australian Government had announced one of the driving factors of this deal is nuclear power rather than diesel electric. We’re also building [reportedly] even less of the Submarine locally now. Not to mention the delivery delays this will cause & our lack of servicing capability.

Even as an Australian I can see how this would really annoy France.
You don't mention error handling at all. Will it have exceptions? Can I catch exceptions in functions, or will functions be limited to calling APIs that cannot fail? So no integer division in functions? Or will it just have floats everywhere like JavaScript had?

What is the rationale for disallowing logging in pure functions? It sounds like one would be forced to develop an algorithm as a procedure, and then remove all logging and convert it into a function when its done. Then, when you want to refactor it, you'll have to convert it back to being a procedure.

GP asked if the fact it's illegal in Iran is not enough, and I say the Iranian code of law has no implications on what I think is moral or not.

Personally I think that it is not outside any moral boundaries to assassinate a scientist which is working on WMDs. In fact, I'll claim the opposite: if you are a leader of a country which you know is potentially targeted by WMDs and you have the strategic and tactical opportunity to assassinate the people working on that program, then you should.

Going back to laws, being a scientist doesn't give you any kind of immunity to any law. It shouldn’t grant you immunity here. Once you work on military programs, it's all fair game.

> For a shoe-factory job paying $12 an hour, the actual cost of shoemaking — when adding benefits — grows to $16 an hour, compared with about $3 an hour in China, said Mike Jeppesen, head of global operations at Wolverine Worldwide, which owns brands like Merrell, Sperry and Keds. And that cost quadruples after wholesale and retail markups, he said, ballooning into a $50 price difference between a pair made in the U.S. versus in China.

This strikes me as a naive way to think about pricing (though it's probably consistent with the way finance people think about it). The only reason to charge that same ~4x markup on the additional labor cost is to keep gross margins (as a percentage) unchanged, but that would actually increase profit (as a dollar amount). If you just want to keep the same profit you'd get from offshoring, you can probably increase the price by much less - $13 if demand were perfectly inelastic, somewhat more in practice.

Also, that sentence shifts from cost per hour to cost per pair without an explanation. Is 1 pair/worker/hour a realistic estimate? That seems way lower than I'd expect. Surprisingly I couldn't find a good answer to this in 30 seconds of searching.

After learning how many manufacturers essentially use slave labor for their products, I've stopped buying clothes manufactured outside the US and EU. I'm sure there are better ways to do this, but that's the simplest reliable one - even e.g. Patagonia, which seems to be trying its best to maintain an ethical supply chain in developing countries, has had its share of issues. The price difference hurts a little bit when I actually make a purchase, but clothes are cheap enough to begin with that the difference ends up being a pretty negligible piece of my overall spending, probably something like $100/year on average.
I could explain it as Dart not having any features other than what any of the mainstream language has but that would not be much of an explanation would it? What is special about Dart?

I'm aware we have plenty of mediocre mainstream languages existing right now, but they all exist for historical reason and have rather useful ecosystems. However, to go out of the way to just make a new lame ass syntax, with zero ecosystem, and no distinguishable characteristic (which is why Flutter is always involved in selling it) why would you do that?

I'm all for new new paradigms, languages that are different like haskell or scala to flourish and teach us new ways of thinking, this is not it.

The influence of the Israel lobby on the 2003 Iraq invasion is not an anti-Semitic trope, it is recorded and acknowledged history. The final decision to invade lay with George W. Bush, and the Israel lobby was far from the only factor in his decision, but their influence was significant and cannot be denied. From the London Review of Books on John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt's "The Israel Lobby":

>Pressure from Israel and the Lobby was not the only factor behind the decision to attack Iraq in March 2003, but it was critical. Some Americans believe that this was a war for oil, but there is hardly any direct evidence to support this claim. Instead, the war was motivated in good part by a desire to make Israel more secure.

>According to Philip Zelikow, a former member of the president’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, the executive director of the 9/11 Commission, and now a counsellor to Condoleezza Rice, the ‘real threat’ from Iraq was not a threat to the United States. The ‘unstated threat’ was the ‘threat against Israel’, Zelikow told an audience at the University of Virginia in September 2002. ‘The American government,’ he added, ‘doesn’t want to lean too hard on it rhetorically, because it is not a popular sell.’

Your assessment may be true for Iran, but I don't think they can be applied to Russia:

1. Russia has very high education -- it's ranked 3rd in the world in terms of people who attend college/university.

2. Russia is a 2nd-world country, so they don't suffer from extreme poverty.

3. Russians aren't very religious.

If Google leaves there wouldn't be much difference in terms of people accessing information on the web because most Russians already use Yandex for web search anyway.

But more importantly, the Russian government is already pushing to replaced foreign tech with Russian alternatives. They're pressuring Russian companies to switch to using local internet services, software, and they've supposedly developed the ability to "disconnect" Russian internet from the rest of open internet. So, if/when they're ready, they will do so. So, I think the point I'm trying to make is that the internet as a platform for information isn't some sort of catalyst for democracy. Russian people are smart and educated, but the authoritarian regime is as strong as it has ever been.

I'm a different person than the one who said nothing is illegal. I think nothing is illegal in international relations is a cop-out answer (and not technically true. I dont know about this particular act, but there are plenty of illegal things under int law). Technically yes - its unlikely to be resolved by a court. However i think most people agree that in general assainations are at least morally repugant (although im sure some people think its justified sometimes).

Anyways, lots of countries (Iran included) fund these type of spy groups. They do bad shit. That is their function. I imagine their masters think the ends justify means. Regardless, complaining that spy agencies are unethical is like complaining the mafia is unethical. Its just something that basically goes without saying.
