That's ED.

P.S. The use of "fertility" to describe men is weird and seems recent. Fertility is passive and receptive and thus better fits women (hence the use in agriculture to describe the earth). Virility is a better term because it is active. Some people seem to falsely claim that it doesn't refer to procreative or generative power, but it does as this entry in Etymology Online[0] shows (emphasis mine):

"period of manhood," 1580s, from French virilité, from Latin virilitatem (nominative virilitas) "manhood," from virilis "of a man, manly, worthy of a man," from vir "a man, a hero," from PIE root wi-ro- "man." Meaning "power of procreation, capacity for sexua[l] intercourse" is from 1590s; sense of "manly strength" is recorded from c. 1600.

There's not much power to procreate if you have a low sperm count.

Time to share my favorite quote from them! (Again [1])

>Mr. Ohanian asked the panel, “One of the things I see time and time again is that we have companies who went to the West Coast and then come screaming back to New York. What was the driving force to come back to New York?”

Rap Genius’ Ilan Zechory took the question first. “It’s where we lived,” he said. “It’s where our friends were. There are no women in the Bay Area, genuinely. We never considered moving out there. We always felt like our West Coast trips were, like, all of us in a Nissan Xterra, in like a Weston, with some weed, trying to steal bags of money to bring back to the East Coast.”

Guess stealing bags of VC money couldn't work forever.

I've done training and whatnot for years. Last bit I did, semi-professionally, was a Core Bluetooth class for try!Swift World[0], [1]. Been quite a while, since I've done any classes.

I also have a lot of writings and whatnot, on my personal site[2].

Frankly, I spend most of my time writing production code, so I don't break off too often, to refresh my blog. I should actually do something, soon. It's been a while since I came up for air.

Nothing will happen. Nothing ever does with the Chickenshit Club [0]. In my opinion the entire family should be publicly hanged for their egregious crimes. Something like that would at least be burned into other's minds and hopefully influence them for the better. At the very least, it'd be a brief moment of catharsis and reckoning for those who had problems struggling with opiate addictions.

It does seem painfully simple that consuming more energy than you burn/excrete is going to turn you into a sink, and a lot of that surplus energy is going to be stored as fat. (And the opposite process applies when you consume less than you use.)

Is this an oversimplification, or is the average education/propaganda/understanding so confused, and so overwhelmed with different nutrition ideas that the wood is being missed for the trees?
No matter what you do, Kizie will be worthless as long as it depends on Twitter. Twitter is nothing but the men's room wall of the internet. Its content is nothing but variations on the following theme:

That's a really good question! I'm just a medical researcher who read Empire of Pain and I don't understand enough about bankruptcy law to give an informed opinion either way. However, I did hear a pretty amusing joke recently saying that Bankruptcy attorneys are the nephrologists of law, which means they're huge wonks & specialists in a very narrow section of their field.

Or just leave it at home.

But then there's the flip side of that, which is that if you always have your phone... except when you're up to no good, the courts could potentially use that to indicate that you planned on going out for no good.

It's a far better habit to regularly leave your phone at home somewhat randomly. I no longer take mine into town every time, half the time deliberately, half because I just legitimately forgot. I've de-fanged my phone, leave it on the counter instead of in my pocket, and have moved back to a flip phone (week long battery life!), so it's not that much of a loss - but I've had to work to get there. 6-7 years ago, realizing I'd left my phone behind was very much a panic moment. Even though I grew up before them.
If it truly is obesity at work, then the research will be buried.

There are too many obese people...they could elect a President if they wanted. You can't offend them.

The CDC director refuses to finger-wag at the US public even though there is a solid correlation between obesity and covid outcomes. Why can't we say this? No politician is willing to tick off the obese, that's why.
Here's a question: why do you, as an engineer, care? You're just an employee, it is the upper management's role to make sure your company moves forward, maintains the trust of clients, has reliable enough solutions. If they decide to sacrifice quality for speed that's their problem/decision. Really. You were hired to provide technical solutions within specs, and if specs require fast completion more than quality then that's probably what you should deliver. Then watch it blow up, or maybe it will actually be good enough.
I believe that the Justice Department is supposed to act in the legal realm, not the moral one.
Love it. You should provide a link to Patreon / whatever so people can support you financially. Hosting is probably not cheap for you. Given the love here on HN I suspect you'd do well.
It will take a lot of marketing to overcome this fact. "Glass" is a fine name that helps while you're taking in the features/benefits, but it does not help at all with retention.
It’s funny to hear this from the technical side. It resonates so strongly, because I’m in the same but polar opposite boat.

Marketing day job for over a decade, but after spending far too long trying to find the technical partner I’ve built a functional MVP and got it in the hands of demo users thru TestFlight.

It’s 100% not efficient use of my time. I would always rather find a technical partner - but the alternative of standing still while you search is too frustrating.

Surely plenty of private/community slacks out there to connect the two..?

Unfortunately, this often times leads to direct phone calls along the lines of, "Hey taftster, did you get my email? It shows that you haven't opened it yet."

This side-effect is also very annoying.
How does one become a good listener ?
Taxes and HR expenses can vary in different states and a company might not be willing to deal with that, especially in the US. That's often the reason I hear about "we only hire in states X, Y, Z" and might apply to accepting employees too move to other places too.
There is nuance to this. The point of IRB is ethics.

1. If the experiment is minimal risk and expected to benefit participants (as the notorious fb experiment was—it was emotional contagion of positive emotions), then informed consent may be waived.

2. When there is a greater risk from the act of gathering informed consent (e.g., because you need to store identity for that purpose), then informed consent may be waived, if minimal risk.
It’s wild that anti-vax sentiment isn’t outlawed or penalized given that it’s getting pretty close to murder territory
I've been using a .info domain for email for, I don't know, 15-20 years. Maybe 3-4 times in those decades I've run into a service that won't let me sign up with my "invalid email". And once, I was locked out of my smart garage door opener app because a new version decided my already-registered email was now invalid for logins. Customer support kept telling me to just reset my password, but even the password reset form decided my email was invalid. A few months later, another new version of the app decided my email was valid again.
I mean, it's been called "survival of the fittest" since as long as I can remember.

It's still turning out to be true, even with all our 21st century medical knowledge of science. Healthy at every size? Not if you want to procreate!

It's weird. I absolutely love the feeling of "I knew this was very likely true and didn't need a study to prove it" and have a study come out that proves my hunch was mostly correct or on the right path. Probably some kind of suuuper duper biased positive feedback loop but something like this just totally makes sense to me. If you don't take care of your body, then things are going to start breaking down earlier than expected.
I have a .co domain that gets rejected occasionally as well. Highly regret that domain choice since people often mistake it for .com.

Check traffic before you depart, pick a route, and leave some extra time in case you hit unexpected traffic.

I know I've been going on about it lately, but for almost every "How can we possibly do this without an app tracking every bit of data it possibly can?" sort of task, people were doing that, or something functionally equivalent, before cell phones, or on cell phones that aren't actively user-hostile.
I read HN almost every day, and the speed at which a comment can be eliminated my biggest complaint.

For people interested in knowing (roughly) their own sperm count, you can use a hemocytometer and a cheap ~600x microscope (like the kid science kit ones) to measure your own. It's basically measuring overall volume, putting some on the slide, and counting so many squares. Then multiple that count to get to the 1ml volume based on the volume of the squares and them multiple by overall number of ml. And paying attention to how many are moving vs not to get an idea of motility.
Right now nothing, but there will be engagement insights based on this data
Not OP but crawling is easy if you don't try scanning 5+ pages a second - almost all rate limiting/heuristic based 'keep server costs low' engines, including Cloudflare, don't care if you request every page, but will take action if you do something like burst every page and take up just as many server resources as a hundred concurrent users.

Now, that is assuming you aren't on some VPS provider. If you're going to crawl, you'll have the best chance when you use your own IPs on your own ASN, with DNS and reverse DNS set up correctly. This makes it so the IP reputation systems can detect you as a crawler but not one that hammers every site it visits.

Also, I imagine that, for a search engine like this, it doesn't expect content to change much anyways - so it can take its time crawling every site only once every month or two, instead of the multiple times a week (or day) search engines like Google have to for the constantly-updated content being churned out.
> A whopping 46% of Americans report feeling sometimes or always alone.

Well, I always thought that I feel lonely because I'm a foreigner in US. It seems like the culture itself at least contributes partly.

There is a bizarre phenomenon that I don't understand about socializing in US: outside of specialized hobby groups or clubs, people don't do stuff when they are together. They just "hang out" around grills and pizzas. And it's not because of the lack of opportunities. If you are really good friends, you might go to watch a sports game or play sports together. If you are in a hiking hobbyist group, you might go hiking. But among general acquaintances, all participatory activities seem to disappear.

Whereas in China, you have the choice of KTV, escape rooms, cards, and all sorts of group recreational activities.

Of course, it could be that I'm hanging around the wrong crowd here in the US. My anecdotal experience certainly doesn't cover a lot of population.

tough story for a company and I know there's a ton of shady TLDs out there now but this will change rapidly I think - it used to be a .com world but as we all know .io etc has changed rapidly in last 5 years. Lately due to lack of .coms I get the feeling a lot of the other TLDs like .shop, .whatever are being used more and more for random sites for startups, projects etc, so I'm sure as they become more accepted in tech systems like SMS (weird about the filtering) and servers etc.
Kernighan's paper (from 1981) is extremely outdated and was prior to: Turbo Pascal (1983), ISO 1983 Pascal, Apple's Clascal (Object Pascal forerunner of 1983), Apple's Object Pascal (1986), ISO 1990 Pascal, Delphi (1995), or Free Pascal/Lazarus (1997) showing up.

It is bizarre or demonstrates a lack of knowledge to take a document from 40 years ago, and then pretend nothing changed. People wouldn't do that with C or C++, so why do it to Pascal/Object Pascal?

Take a look at the below link, Which addresses most points outlined in the paper, in terms of modern dialects of Pascal.

https://wiki.freepascal.org/Why_Pascal_is_Not_My_Favorite_Pr...

Something else to be said about Kernighan and that "hit piece" paper, was that AT&T Bell Laboratories was behind it. People should realize that AT&T was pushing C and then C++, so were very much trying to take down Pascal. This is a document that was "weaponized" to be used against competition, and very oddly, is still being used as such.
Unfortunately, majority of "marketers" are hungry people who don't really know much about real marketing. This might offend the real marketers (hungry part) but it is true.

I worked with countless e-commerce companies who hired these "marketers" and failed miserably. I would say 1 in 100 marketers really knows what they are doing. Majority of these fake marketers think having Instagram their phone gives them the marketer status and posting on Instagram is what marketing is. They do not know, they keep using crappy buzzwords. It is much more (nearly impossible) to benchmark marketers' talent until spending $$$ for their 6-12 months salary. It is much more easier to find a developer because they do not need to lie about their talent, you can just check their work and see the quality.

Fake marketers can disguise their fakery so easily because it is just words until really working with them. When I say 1 in 100, I am really being optimistic. As a developer I had to teach maybe 100+ "marketers" how to use google analytics. That's how miserable they are. It is not my fault these ecommerce companies hire fake marketers because job market is full of them and they lie very nicely. Their career is job hopping every 6 months and find new companies to lie to them instead of really learning marketing.

If I can find someone like marcosaric to make my graphs look like theirs, I would happily give one of my kidneys. It is so rare. So rare.
Aside from your point which is likely true in many cases, could this report be totally invalid?

"Adverse events from drugs and vaccines are common, but underreported. Although 25% of ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported."

It's not a trivial matter making an adverse reaction report.
Absolutely hilarious. If I was doing a startup and looking for funding, I'd be making sure I don't remind Andreesen Horowitz at all of these guys...
What about property taxes? Don't know about WA, but where I am property taxes are nearly half again as much as the principal and interest, so a hypothetical $3k (P+I) could be more like $4-4.5k in some areas.
My suspicion for quite a while has been that Thiel supports the far right for entirely pragmatic reasons. He may not necessarily agree with them intellectually on much at all, but he sees them as a tool to maintain what he sees as a market and regulatory regime that is helpful to innovation and entrepreneurship.

I mean he's gay, seems to be at least an agnostic if not an atheist, and funds things that would benefit from measures to control climate change (like solar, batteries, EVs, and fusion). His identity and actions don't overlap much with the ideology of the far right in most areas.

A less charitable way of putting it would be that Thiel sees the far right as "useful idiots."

I am not making a value judgement either way, just neutrally putting forward my own speculation on his motives. It's just speculation of course. He seems to like to keep what he really thinks close to his chest.
True, but the "be good enough" will probably be updated on what "good enough" is after you deliver your first impossible project. It'll eventually catch up, but that's just how bad executives and bad companies manage.

5 years into a bootstrap, yup. this is true.

The good news is, with the dev side covered.. I have an actual product to sell, and have actual paying clients. Without dev I would have nothing to sell (reskinned sugar water I guess?). But I am seeing the limits of what a crappy $35 theme website can sell. Onwards and upwards!
Instagram wouldn't let me make an account. Even if I could make one, I'd have to think about what it means to link someone directly into Facebook's data collecting juggernaut by sharing a photo since the only way to view them nowadays is with an account.
> powering a construction-labor shortage

I've been discussing with builders for the past few months and they state that the main issue is the lack of low-skilled laborers. They claimed that many workers at that level left >18 months ago and haven't returned due to the protracted, bonus unemployment that they were receiving, which recently has expired.

Almost all contractors/builders expect the low-level workers that have been on the sidelines to return over the next few months and project to be able to handle 2x the work by Spring 2022.
Does the employer have $108k to pay the severance?

Do you think the employer will pay?

I mean do you trust the employer?

To put it another way, if the employer is paying you $108k to stay, they should be paying you now. If they are unwilling to pay it now, they are not actually paying it. Not actually paying it is a behavior that is unlikely to change when there is nothing in it for them.

Between now and the end of the year, that's around $33k a month. That's an equitable way to distribute it.

Good luck.
fantastic project, thank you!

Any recommendations for how a developer can learn a useful amount of marketing?
Like homosexuals, insulters of the King, and apostates.
I’d say that “sales” or “marketing” are indeed valuable skills that developers may lack, but I think you would be doing yourself a disfavor if you’re only looking for those skills.

In the end, what I myself realized, is that the real gap is not just sales/marketing; it’s about someone that figures out product-market fit. It’s somewhat sales, it’s somewhat marketing, it’s somewhat strategic. But an average marketeer or sales representative will have a terribly difficult time figuring out PMF.

I had .email for a while. Many shopping sites wouldn't actually let you use the address, presumably given some filter assuming that "email" was a fake address. Because my name ends with "ss", I switched over to .es, which conveniently is a country TLD (Spain). That's worked very well, though occasionally I'll get spam in Spanish, which cracks me up.
