Shit sells products. Straight men are a vulnerable audience to sell to. They want sex as much or more than most women and yet they have the least access to it of all people. Sell an image - get them invested in it and sell products that aim to get them somewhere. Yet - it ultimately does nothing.

I think Japan is a pretty decent model of where most of the US is going. Anime weebs and what not with waifu pillows will become much more normalized and other various forms of NEETs. But with more violence, unfortunately. I think shootings, suicides, and “accidental” deaths are going to stay the course or get worse. We’ll find ways to skew the statistics to cover this up so that we never have to address it (cause that’s require a different way of thinking about capitalism) but I don’t think this problem is going away for a few generations.

The small indie developers will not influence any Apple decision making anyway.

You only need really apps with say 10-50M downloads to join together, most of them know each other and many of them are made by rival companies who have an interest in keeping Apple in check.

Indie developers could of course be invited to join such action, but apart from PR and other aspects they won't move the needle either way with Apple.
Autonomous computers likely have already killed humans in Libya two years ago.[1] Four problems with this new reality:

1) Misidentification. When selecting a target, will autonomous weapons be able to distinguish between hostile soldiers and 12-year-olds playing with toy guns?

2) Low-end proliferation. Market pressures could result in the creation and widespread sale of what can be thought of as the autonomous weapon equivalent of the Kalashnikov assault rifle: killer robots that are cheap, effective and almost impossible to contain as they circulate around the globe.

3) High-end proliferation. High-end autonomous weapons are likely to lead to more frequent wars because they will decrease two of the primary forces that have historically prevented and shortened wars: concern for civilians abroad and concern for one's own soldiers.

4) Undermining the laws of war. How can autonomous weapons be held accountable? Who is to blame for a robot that commits war crimes? Who would be put on trial? The weapon? The soldier? The soldier's commanders? The corporation that made the weapon? (from

Wasn’t the point of HAL to warn humans to think about potential unintended consequences of AI and avoid them?
y'all are just arguing semantics.

The camera is "critical" to manufacturers by definition because it's the subject of regulatory compliance - it's a must have for the manufacturer to clear a gate.

We also know that people have been driving in all sorts of conditions and in all sizes of cars without backup cameras for decades upon decades and cameras are obviously not critical to the act of driving the vehicle. They undeniably help: the field of view is often wider than your mirrors, you can drive backwards at high speed while ducking to avoid bullets, You can see directly behind the bumper of your car to wedge yourself into tighter parking spots and avoid backing over tiny people, etc. I don't believe a functional backup camera is required to resell the vehicle.

If you never learned to drive without a backup camera, it may be more "critical" to you individually.

Emissions systems are a completely different story. Critical to manufacturer and required for resale of the vehicle (technically critical to owner), though who's going to check for that $400 bypass kit? ;)

I think the virus starting in China is more to blame for the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes than a technical discussion about whether it was more likely that the virus came from animals mixing in a wet market, or from the L4 Virology lab, with questionable safety practices, specializing in bat coronaviruses that was located 500ft away.

Note: This is a rough mix of reading Jonathan Haidt's books and my own thoughts.

What America is seeing is basically the result of a culture that only uses one moral value. Jonathan Haidt believes there is a set of moral primitives that all our brains support[0]. All other moral values or rules can be explained in terms of these. He also says that the US (potentially excluding the south) is the most single moral on earth. Particularly the "Liberal Cities" and particularly Universities. That one moral is care vs harm.

Some people want to be particularly moral. In societies the various morals have balanced usage, people will pick different morals to exemplify. Since different morals can give contradicting judgements on the same issue, this results in the net effect of these people being fairly neutral.

In a society with just one moral, all these people end up pushing in the same direction. If society is moving in one direction, then these people need to keep advancing in order to remain particularly moral. Given some specifics of US history, we see this result in the social justice movement we've seen in the last 10 years.

> what explains the relative stability in post-Christian Europe?

Europe, with a few exceptions, hasn't gone as hard at being focused on just a single moral value. They are largely biased towards care vs harm, but still use the other moral values.

Is it really doable these days? Nearly all procesors have ME-like modules connected to network. So long as that super-hacker connects to the internet, the ME module will sniff on him: gather nearby wifis, send those ids and receive commands. For this reason, a really uncatchable hacker never touches computers, uses snail mail to tell others do everything on his behalf and does boring woodwork as his daytime job. He's also an adept at appearing a simpleton. He even uses a special double-speak lingo in his mails so if he's caught red handed, his letter would contain an advice to his buddy Joe about lumber he should use for his tree house.

This comment really takes you on a roller coaster. To mirror the title here, this comment is clear: this boy is not all right.

Domestic terrorists? Social justice warrior nursing home staff? Patriot Act? Incel-oriented divorce court angst? Epstein?

> And yet what is the national conversation about? It’s only about how all straight men of a particular “ethnic category” are racist and evil and they all need to focus on giving more to people in other “ethnic categories”.

I just am never convinced by this reactionary argument when I hear it.

The internet skews people’s perceptions of the world, and this comment is exemplary of it. These Twitter-fueled “culture war” distortions have not done us any favors. In the most polite way possible, I recommend you go outside once in a while.
If you look at male-oriented fitness subcultures, they’re almost never motivated by sexual attractiveness. The idea of “lifting for women” is typically a taboo that will get you ridiculed in most communities. The ideals of these communities typically revolve around some model of self-improvement, and if the participants are pursuing any type of social status, it’s typically in the form of praise from other men.
Complete speculation based on reading the linked report:

The bridge suffered a fatal compromise but stood with light traffic. Until some combination of speed and weight of the bus pushed it over the edge. Something happened in the minutes or hours before the collapse and it was doomed to fall.
No it is not making its own decisions. There's always a clear path from programming to execution. The slight variability added by a neural net or whatever else doesn't change that fact.

Political Arena: A Video Game About American Power
Sorry WP, too little too late.

I don't think the "mainstream" has fully caught on yet, but all those disaffected men are getting nothing from these empty "we see there's a problem" articles and empty half-acknowledgements, because the entire political and academic system is now fully aligned against them.

Lots of men these days are all turning to Red Pill content online whether you agree or not because its the only counter to the "masculinity is toxic" narrative. You better hope that people like Jordan Peterson succeed because his message to men is way more centrist and reasonable (watered down some would say) then the Red Pill elites like Rollo Tomassi, Fresh and Fit, and anyone else in the Rule Zero crowd. I'm sure many of you will gasp in horror if you've never heard of or seen their content on youtube, but realize this IS the backlash and the pendulum swinging the other way. WP and outlets like it (I'm looking at you NYT) created this culture and now you have to live with the backlash. I actually think that the mainstream will catch on to this pretty soon and label it the new boogie man at some point but by then nobody will watch or read their content so it will be too little too late.

Pretty soon the "all masculinity is toxic" crowd are going to find themselves labeled as the "uncool" crowd just as the religious evangelicals who were trying to censor south park back in the 90's were. And the pendulum swings...

I'm homeschooling my own son to keep him sheltered from both sides crazyness and plan to teach him to be a reasonable centrist who doesn't get caught up in dogma.

We ask candidates to prepare a 20min presentation about one or two interesting projects they worked on. The whole dev team (8 people) is present and we all discuss it in a friendly, genuinely interested manner on eye-level, trying to understand what the candidate has build by asking design choices or more details on certain aspects, how error paths were handled, which trade off considered, how was the collaboration in his old team etc. Typically goes for 45min. The candidate is encouraged to ask the team any questions about how we work, what our tools and processes are etc.

We get to know candidate and the candidate us.

60-75 min is all it takes.

Afterwards we sit together as a team and share our impression, could we see working with them, did anybody see red flags, etc. Maybe 15-30min conversation. Then we reach a go-nogo decision right there and now. No coding questions, no brainteasers or similar.
Haven't seen a candidate yet that could bullshit their way through the presentation and crowd consensus decision.

I feel the exact same way. I'm a computer science student at Stanford. I only decided to study CS in first year of college, since it seemed like a safe bet to good money and I enjoyed math.

2 years later, I'm just an average CS student working at big tech. I don't particularly find my work fulfilling and I don't impress anyone.

Every day I question whether I made the right decision to study CS and become an engineer. Like you, I know I'm smarter than the vast majority of people and I was an academic talent when I was little (through high school).

I don't know what I'm doing with my life.

Probably depends on the neighborhood - there's claims in this thread that single motherhood is up, but those can't both be true. (I don't have any evidence to add here.)

Yes, but making someone poor's a lot easier. Murphy's law, y'know.

Are men’s results bimodal or just much higher standard deviation? I feel like there are way, way too many men living a “normal, unremarkably good nor bad” life to sustain a bimodal conclusion.
I think I am confusing % fertile women vs all men. I think it says about 10% of women are infertile.

One thing to keep in mind with those long term fertility rates is that child mortality rates going back that far is just shocking

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1041693/united-states-al...

It is too harsh to even think about really.

It is hard also to understand the rise in fertility rates from the 80s to 2010s.
How this translates into the real world:

Here in Europe, in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, a large amount of men were fired from their construction job.

I'm talking about incredibly tough and hardened men. The type doing this job for decades, getting up at 5AM each day, working in the bitter cold, never calling in sick, breaking their body and taking pride in it.

Just like that, society suddenly declared these men to be zeroes. They have to call to this unemployment agency, where they're treated as if beginners, and with distrust, as if they're leeches. They have to go to the red tap, none of which they understand.

Reportedly, many of these men broke down and cried on the phone. They probably hadn't cried in decades.

It just shows how absolutely devastating it is when such a man loses purpose. It breaks them. They take pride in their strength, their sacrifice to provide. They cannot be idle nor can they be in a dependent position. It's not them.
> Manual labor, regardless of how well it pays takes a toll on your body and generally pays less than a lot of the highly sought after knowledge worker jobs

In many places a skilled plumber or electrician earns more than an office worker or even junior engineer. A skilled highway construction worker earns more than the country average. A crane operator makes more than the average software developer. There are many surprises when it comes to blue collar job payment.
Not a breakthrough, just a milestone. Yet again they cite the "20 years out" which has become a joke among anyone that follows fusion research.

> The Port Authority bus was traveling eastbound at the time of collapse. The bus was equipped with seven cameras: one forward-facing camera, one right side aft facing camera, and five interior cameras. Video data from these cameras have been recovered, and the initial assessment of the video data is consistent with the initial assessment of the bridge components. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will convene a group of specialists to analyze the video for further information useful to the investigation.

I hadn't thought about bus cameras capturing the collapse -- wonder if this'll ever be released (or leaked)?
I watched the clip a few times and it appears he did bump the stalk upwards but I can't tell if it was accidental or he was trying to perform some function (perhaps unfreeze the display). I can say this much - no single car I have ever driven - manual or automatic - were you ever able to accidentally put into reverse without realizing consciously what you were doing.
What makes racket less pure? Have been looking for a typed lisp to play with for quite some time and the choices have always been either racket or clojure.
The important point is that what most often happens is the middle class and rich agree on policies. So "rich person gets policy" is true, but it's not the reason the policy happened.

It is surprising that the middle class and rich agree so often. But as I'm sure you know, most Americans don't think of politics in economic class warfare terms, so maybe that's why.
