I hear what you are saying, and I believe you are correct under the perspective I assume you are taking. That said, I would propose to you to start thinking of men (and importantly boys) in smaller groups than by those of age and race: a significant portion of men/boys are not involved in the achievements you noted, and are not doing well at all.

One area I think this is evident is mass shootings in US schools: primarily carried out by boys, mainly white (oof, walked right into grouping by age and race). What is happening to boys to lead them down that path? Another area are deaths-from-despair [1] (the graph is from the UK*). What is leading men towards suicide? One more stat, violent deaths are, by a wide margin, mainly carried out by men on men [2]. What is driving men to be involved in violent deaths. Altogether, and I think you agree here, men are not doing well in important areas.

Above is collection of red flags and calls for direct help. And the current public conversation revolves around balancing opportunities for women (which is necessary, good for society, and I give credit to those that have brought the subject to the fore). But men and boys need more as well, perhaps in different ways than wages, positions of powers, etc. (granted how much can be determined by income bracket). Homicidal boys are likely different from the ones that grew up in households of mental/emotional/financial/stability. And men dying by despair are likely different than those in positions of power or wealth.

The crux of my argument is this: there is a difference between boys and men of wealth, power, and privilege. And ample attention by governments or communities should be offered, for a better overall society

One last point, on the point of incels: what is happening to boys to create a large enough group for a label (and the ridicule) of incels?

"And pointing to the decline of religion isn't very helpful for us atheists"

Pointing to something that is true doesn't need to be helpful. Making the statement it's not helpful to you, is helpful to noone.
Could someone explain how this compares to something like ChipDNA? (I had a hard time parsing the substance out of all the buzzwords)
if this post interests you at all I highly recommend watching "Intro to Database Systems" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSE8ODhjZXjbohkNBWQs_...

I recently (as in 6 hours ago) had to relay to my boss some information about the inner workings of postgres. studying this course helped me do that.
What do you mean by "probably"? My understanding is that it's unquestionably contamination, since no one is suggesting the virus was actually in Antarctic soil. The only question is the provenance of the contaminating sample, the likely possibilities being:

1. Virus cultured in a lab, in monkey or hamster cells but with virus originating from a human patient. This wouldn't be evidence of lab origin of the virus. It would still show that China is concealing important facts about the early origin of the pandemic though, since the recovered viral genome is among the most ancestral (closest to the closest-known bat viruses) known. It should thus have been scientifically noteworthy enough to publish, but that genome was unpublished until these Hungarians dug it out.

2. Virus cultured as part of a scientific experiment, before the beginning of the pandemic. That would be the "smoking gun", but nothing yet allows us to distinguish between this and case (1). Sangon Biotech's customer records might answer this, since they know when the sample was sequenced and what other customers' samples were sequenced around the same time. Those aren't too easy to get, though. I've seen speculation that Illumina's cloud services may contain significant information within reach of American subpoena, but no concrete action.

Other comments speculate that an infected lab technician could explain the reads, but that wouldn't explain the hamster and monkey DNA.
What is that meme about?
> Today, iOS has a strong sandbox where apps can’t access data of other apps unless explicit permission is granted

That absolutely destroys interoperability, and is not a good thing. If the program that generated a file must give permission for it to be accessed, then a proprietary program can prevent interoperability simply by not actively enabling it.

Passing information between programs must be in the control of the user, not a program.
The frequency with which Wired obsessively brings up Trump into everything suggests they are much less interested in exploring the technical side than to push a political agenda. It makes it look like the only thing that matters is where Trump is tweeting now.

And of course, at the conclusion of the article, the author shudders of the thought that there could be a communication platform not censored by the government. The horror!

> True - but if your experience of academia makes you want to stay, you don't need a fallback!

Sadly, this is not really the case. The job supply doesn't come anywhere close to the demand of (incredibly smart and well qualified) graduates. The vast majority who choose to stay end up as sessional instructors, with little to no hope of attaining tenure. And with each passing year as a sessional instructor, your chance of becoming a "real" professor drops substantially.

Mathematicians don't get up to p-hacking, thankfully, and while some of your issues are present, you're missing a lot of the actual issues if you manage to get on a tenure track: time on committees, shitty department politics, whiny undergrads who don't want to be in the classes they've signed up for... yeah, there's a lot of problems. But, even with all that, I'd take it over a lot of the jobs I was qualified for before uni.
"Right. It’s our fault, that is, men’s. We live in a society in which we we have disproportionately had the power. And this is the result."

This is an incredibly asinine take.
And I'd go further and say that the ideal state is unachievable by any centralized entity, no matter how much energy, money or time it spends on the problem. Therefore we must embrace decentralized discovery and safety, and we're deluding ourselves otherwise.
I'm becoming a luddite with each passing year. Smart phones even in 2005 had external antenna connectors under a rubber grommet. I never had to use one but it was cool that the engineers thought, "What would a BAMF need?". I miss that. Now it's all engineered to the lowest common denominator and then neglected.
I'm sure that is deliberate.

> but the "but women have it worse!"

You're jumping to a bit of a conclusion here. Most people seem to be reading this comment as re recognition that this particular guy is privileged compared to most people, not a blanket argument that women have it worse. Consider why you reacted so defensively to such an anodyne self-reflection.
This one wouldn't.

> if that activity isn't kid centered that's too fucking bad and kid is gonna have to deal

Hilarious, and maybe it works with a 2yo, but when the kid is 5 it's "everybody else is gonna have to deal" as well.

Not that I disagree with the sentiment, though.
My guess would be that URLs for the categories eliminated after that period (eg. Books and Podcasts) are more likely to remain stable and available, even if the product was a flop.
> But if you feel 'towered over' because of it, that's on you. Part of being professional is staying above these silly games.

Neither of these statements are absolute truths. Physical intimidation is a real effect, and it affects some people disproportionately — a high-status person might not care but someone who already dealing with being one or more degrees out of top status or who has a history of dealing with abuse might notice it more than you think.

Similarly, while it's true that many of us learn to be thick-skinned and ignore things like this, that doesn't mean that it's desirable to have to do so or 100% effective. One of the things you'll learn as you learn more about it is that these small psychological cues can affect you even if you think you're above them and there's a cost to having to think strategically about things like this when the other party can focus their full attention on the surface issue.

Most importantly, almost anyone who is prone to bullying is aware of these dynamics at some level. I'm tall/straight/white/male, never had to worry about finding another job, etc. and I've definitely had interactions where other people afterwards mentioned that they would have been afraid to stand up to someone's bullying because they can't afford the potential backlash. It's like the advice about salary negotiation where people who don't look like me have a LOT more stories about how they tried that with very different results.
I would wager that some percent of them confused it for thermostat.

IIRC MSP430 microcontrollers do something like that, too. They have low-power 16-bit CPUs, but you can't do a lot with 64k memory space so newer models have instructions with 20-bit addressing.

They're fun to work with; some versions have FRAM instead of Flash memory.
> We are in 2022 and a nice, wealthy and rational guy won't commit to someone without a career and finances in order.

This is more often false than true. I know many men who have or are marrying women who make 1/2 or less what they do. Nice, wealthy, and rational folks. They however need a woman. And there is a strong lack of women who are anywhere near where many men are in compensation and wealth.

I am example of that. I married someone who made nothing. I put her through a prestigious college in the most expensive location in the country and paid for it all. Etc.

Supply+demand. We got way more men than we do women in this world under age 35. As a guy - you have to settle.
Just a reminder that Bret Weinstein and crew once again predicted the exact nature of the leak, including citing Peter Daszak involvement, a full 6 MONTHS before the lab leak theory started to go from conspiracy theory to mainstream :

To be clear this is the argument you appear to be making:

If I get a gun, and I shoot it without aiming, and then it hits someone, it doesn't matter that I wasn't aiming, it's my fault.

If I try to making it not my fault by putting the gun in a vice, with a mechanism that randomly pulls the trigger, and then it hits someone, it's my fault.

If I put that vice on a drone, and have the drone fly around randomly, still shooting randomly, and it hits someone, it's my fault.

If I make that drone start following a specific person, firing randomly, and it hits someone, it's my fault.

If I make that drone start following a specific person, shooting specifically at that person, it's my fault.

If that drone accidentally hits someone other than the target it is now ... not my fault?

If that drone gets confused and is following the wrong person, and hits that person it is now ... also not my fault?
Unfortunately, that trick has some issues with flexbox.

There are many books published on the topic that layout the evidence. A discussion here cannot begin to explain the depth of the problem, the reasons why our foreign policy has failed, and the evidence that exists. A superficial discussion almost does the topic a disservice and comes off as xenophobic. If you are truly interested in the topic I recommend "The World According to China" by Economy published 2022. I have 8 other book recommendations to cover the breadth of the field and the opinions if you care.

Most of the authors of the books express their love for the Chinese people. Most of them lived there at one point, and separate that view from their issues with the CCP and government. If you do due diligence in the area you may change your viewpoint. Maybe not. No-one on this thread is going to convince you in a few paragraphs to change your mind on a subject this charged and complex.

A more fun book, less academic, was published last year by Desmond Shum detailing his rise to becoming a billionaire as a China native and Hong Kong resident. He wrote the book after his billionaire ex-wife was abducted. She was not heard of for four years. She called him the day before he was to publish the book asking him not to.

That's the kind of question that can't reasonably be answered - we don't and, I personally think, can't really track the personal motives of crimes in a logical manner since hate crimes are generally pretty illogical actions.

The most legitimate response you could hope to get to such a question is some anecdotal evidence.
I suggest you go to a medical doctor and get a complete physical. Eliminating organic disease is always a pre-requisite.

When the doctor asks if there's anything else, show them this note and say, "I want to find out what's wrong with me."

Thanks to Dr. Todd Grande, we know IQ is only about 4% of personality. So, absent an underlying medical condition, it's a problem with your personality. That's one of those things that's almost impossible to identify in yourself but is much easier for an outside observer.

Go see a real human doctor.
If your FAANG has a 10% thing, think about using it to do something to help develop the place. Spend it helping the local council negotiate fibre rollout choices. Volunteer to work on back-end s/w or systems for the library and school.

Take a role in work which remains local. Join the rural fire brigade, the emergency response team (they always have non-physical labour roles if this is daunting)

Make your side-gig appropriate for the location. If it has a lot of damaged streams and gullys do the thing which plants trees and helps restore them. If you decide to market garden help restore a brownfield site. If the local store is dying on its feet, see if you can do something in the space and pay rent.

Be realistic. You can't cure cancer, you can't cure rural depression-cancer. You can't fix everything. Sometimes just being visibly engaged and listening helps.

Incorporating thread-safety into individual calls is not sufficient, because thread-safety is not composable. A sequence of calls to thread-safe operations is not itself thread-safe. Since you need locks in the outermost application level, it would be wasteful and unnecessary to also lock inside each individual call.

This non-composability is why multithreading is so difficult. A library can't abstract away these concerns for you, unless the entire multithreaded operation is one call to the library, which requires the library to know and design for your exact use case. If you want to do something a library didn't plan for, you are required to handle the thread synchronization yourself.

Gender roles are driven by more than just religion or tradition. It's not clear that they're good for society (if anything, open societies which don't coercively enforce these norms tend to be more creative and innovative) but what they are is good enough for the many, many people, including women (might even be a majority) who prefer them. Any ideal of freedom of choice for all genders should absolutely include these 'old-fashioned' choices.
What if you didn't need money or attention?
I stated the point in the beginning of the paragraph in which I cited the statistics:

> Counterintuitively, America’s lack of a generous welfare system tends to destabilize traditional gender roles.
Usually there's a surprise contract waiting for day one of a job, after you've left your other job. Yes, you can still walk away, but it's better to review that contract sooner.

If you don't ask to see the contract, it will almost certainly be a day one surprise. And even if you do ask, the legal department, who neither you nor the people interviewing you frequently communicate with, might still have some surprises in store.
Not autoplay, autopreview* , they have a lot of half finished shows which irks people but as they literally came out with new seasons of multiple shows as I just finished binging 2-3 seasons. And they do have a lot of rebranded old tv shows as well. There is simply no reason for them to be less than very profitable anytime soon. I am sure they are losing market share but they are charging more too. It's very hard to beat the first-to-market advantage.
Sometimes you want to change things on touch input devices - thumbs are quite bigger than cursors. Here's a tidy way to do that:

}
}
IQ isn't the only factor. Actually - beyond a certain threshold it doesn't add much. Happiness, success - a huge part of it is mindset, and having the mental/emotional resilience to start again and again after failure.

However, growing up in a harsh environment does more damage than you can perceive. You can be the smartest person in the world, but if you have limiting beliefs, unprocessed/unhealed trauma stemming from bad experiences early in your life, it will be more difficult for you to achieve/go further. But this in itself is a unique gift in a way - not everyone has the opportunity to truly develop one's inner strength and grit through this kind of life experience. I'd say the majority of the world's truly successful/influential people did not grow up with silver spoons in their mouth, but developed character through tests of adversity.

In the end, the power lies within you. You decide your life through making choices. You can decide for yourself who you want to be and who you want to become.

You can decide to not let the past affect your future, to see it as a gift (or you can chose to use it as an excuse to avoid making the neccesary changes you need...)

You can decide to start healing, to start working on your limiting beliefs, and get support (or you can make the choice to continue to be held back by the unhealed parts of yourself ...)

You can decide to adopt mindsets and perspectives that empower you (or you can choose to do nothing, and stay stagnant. Often it's the easier and lazier choice).

Take this as an opportunity to re-write your story and to shift your perspective. Show some gratitude for yourself for overcoming so much already. Sometimes it might not seem like it, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, though the tunnel may be long - so remember to always be kind to yourself. There will be brighter days ahead :)
Everything living kills everything in sight for resources. From viruses to civilizations. To some extent this can be moderated, or for a time some optimizations might result in even less destruction, but this is the way this world is.

Killing is rational in a sense - for some subset of purposes, in context of some subset of environmental pressures, both of which change constantly, and often faster than adaptation to kill does.

Accept this. It will not ever change.

The former part is the cause of the latter. The guys I've known like this were trying to treat it like a game and/or had unrealistic expectations, and that ended about as well as it always does. Once they started being genuine and realistic, things changed dramatically.
You can also get hit by fact checkers for claiming that the Earth is flat. What are they trying to hide?

If everyone were arguing in good faith I’m not sure you would see as much of this deplatforming stuff. There was tons of propaganda claiming COVID was definitely a lab leak when there is no proof.

There is still no proof. I think it’s possible but a natural origin is also possible. There are loads of undiscovered viruses out there waiting to jump hosts and party.
Years ago Java would auto-install only when needed but in the case of a language version deprecated ages ago it seems like you’re complaining for the sake of wanting to complain. Install brew and get the old version if you really need it.
