I like Yang, he's certainly intelligent and his reality/algorithm is certainly separate from mine, yet parallel. So I find what he talks about is very interesting. The first part of the article clearly lays out the reality that men/boys are under attack.

One of the key roles that the political left-wing should represent is fixing disenfranchisement. Unfortunately for about the last few decades, that not only is untrue, the opposite is what is happening. It has been the left-wing who has been disenfranchising boys and men.

>Yes, men have long had societal advantages over women and in some ways continue to be treated favorably. But male achievement — alongside that of women — is a condition for a healthy society.

Here it is coming from Yang. The right-wing are obviously where traditional gender roles are still represented. The equality or rather attack on traditional roles started many decades prior but for example it's the left-wing who has attacked the boy scouts.

It's the same reason that homelessness is in vast majority men, but the vast majority of homeless shelters are women's only.

>Our media, institutions and public leadership have failed to address this crisis, framing boys and men as the problem themselves rather than as people requiring help.

This is intentionally being done by those groups. Hard to address the crisis that they themselves are intentionally creating.

>Resources that keep families together when they want to stay together, such as marriage counseling, should be subsidized by the government — a much more cost-efficient approach than dealing with the downstream effects.

What's more important. This isn't zero-sum, women benefit from men being strong.

>On a cultural level, we must stop defining masculinity as necessarily toxic and start promoting positive masculinity. Strong, healthy, fulfilled men are more likely to treat women well.

This was intentionally done and in fact, it's trending in a worse direction. This is about to get worse before it gets better.

>The above is, of course, a prodigious undertaking. But I see the need around me all the time.

Toxic masculinity isnt a thing on the right-wing. When the left-wing says 'toxic masculinity' the right-wing rolls its eyes. He sees this around him all the time because of where he stands politically. If you're interested in some right-wing positions on this subject.

Oh and if Yang continues this push. We shall never hear from him again.
It's a real shame that "computerizing everything" meant taking all the shit we hate from computers, like long bootups, complex failure conditions, constant restarting, and complicated inferfaces and putting that into everything while making nothing better.

I'd recommend giving Mazda's infotainment a chance. It's not pretty, but it gets out of your way enough that you get to enjoy the car. That was kinda the point of getting a miata in the first place.
Out of curiosity why do you run your own Signal server when there is no federation?
The timing is impeccable (making me suspicious), I was just at a UKAEA public meeting yesterday -- they're choosing a site for a new fusion project, a small "demo" reactor.

https://step.ukaea.uk/

You couldn't have better timing to encourage the public that this is a positive thing for us to develop.

FWIW I'm a big fan of JET, Wendelstein, and fusion research in general. And, I think this STEP project is very positive.
The eye makeup 'kohl' is in no way related to the German word for cabbage. Apparently it's an Arabic word (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kohl). Funnily enough, Kohle (with a schwa at the end) in German means coal (as a mass noun) which is of course black, like the eye makeup.
I think your analyisis is missing something more fundamental - men's fundamental biological advantage is higher risk-tolerance, physical strength was associated with surviving physical risk to a degree that it justified the higher calorie expanditure powerful muscles require. Even with a lot of mechanisation of heavy lifting, men would still be more willing to do anything dangerous because a kin group can afford to lose a few men. It seems less that modern society has a reduced need for physical strength than that it has a reduced need for individuals to take on personal risk - and in fact, the way that risk is largely spread out through society in the form of the social safety net, one might say it has not just a reduced need but a reduced tolerance for risky behaviour. Tough times for men indeed. The instinct to take risks for admiration from our social sphere runs very deep, and there are only so many intellectual or financial risks worth taking.
How "out of the workforce" is defined might be a missing part of the big picture. (The term itself is pretty nebulous!)

"Staying home with the kids" might also include learning some skills, or trying to start a business, or self-employment. The radar will likely miss this. In the US, singles who earn under $12,500 don't need to file a federal tax return.

(Note that the radar will always remember that 'missing time' ... which you may need to account for later! And that info is widely available.)
I was never competitive, in the sense of wanting to "defeat" my workmates. If they wanted to defeat me, I'd concede, after putting up a brief fight. Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting. I would advocate strongly against bad decisions, ifd I thought I'd get a hearing.

I became a programmer, and I stayed a programmer. Like, I tried managing projects once; didn't agree with me. And I was obliged to take on the management of a support team, once; that didn't agree with me either. I retired a programmer.

I didn't get as rich as I'd have got as a man-manager; I suppose a really good project manager must be worth their weight in gold, because I've never met one. But I earned enough to raise my kids, buy a house, etc. So that's not so much about competitiveness, as about ambition. I have had the ambition to make something really cool; but I wasn't ever lucky enough to have a really good idea and the time to implement it. And probably I just wasn't clever enough.

If you enjoy your life, and you earn enough, my advice would be not to worry about competitiveness and ambition.

Meh, the female ones don't seem to be English (at least a lot of them). The male ones are mostly international words.
Are you very sure that patent would never get threatened toward a software implementation that doesn't know anything about cycles?

If so then the technique in the post isn't actually patented.

If that C code would get threatened, then the 1 cycle thing is a red herring.

Also "Doing this in 1 cycle while reusing already existing function units"? In hardware you can use a normal adder without any special technique...
Agree. I’ve been making six figures (US$) working mainly with PHP for over a decade. Companies pay for results and business value, not for language expertise. If they happen to have a pile of PHP then I can live with that. Even maintaining corporate Wordpress sites is lucrative, and lots of big rich companies use WP.

I know people who have very basic PHP skills who make very little money, but that’s a function of their lack of technical skills and business experience, not the language.
The statistic uses "now" which implies a change over time, so they have been grouped together for while and it may be difficult to separate this group from past studies.

This does bring up an important concept of "emerging adulthood" [0]. Where in modern day societies there seem to be a time period where young adults do what you are describing. There seem to be some of this coupled with some young men not being able to find purpose in life as evidence by the increase in suicide and drug use in the that group.

Does doing the actual childcare not constitute providing for their family? I'd argue that if men see bringing in an income as providing and not other things (and I don't think that's universal at all) then that's entirely cultural.
Ah got it. Mind-boggling. Thank you!
Do you live in the UK? We had harsh, cruel, extended lockdowns. Like - no talking to friends on the street lockdowns. For like months at a time. Johnson, who subjected us to this, was having house parties the whole time. Most Brits would push the creep in front of a bus at this point.
Yep. If one wants to pay enough money you can get glamor versions of just about anything. Ignoring for the moment that I'm often not willing to "pay enough money" a big part of it for me is that it starts to homogenize the experience back towards that mean we're discussing. It loses some of the unique character.

Put another way, some of my travel fantasies are pretty out there, I just know I'll never do them. Even if I had the cash and was willing to spend it, at that point the experience would never match the fantasy.
It is your job to prove that.

It is not our job to disprove your half-baked suppositions.
> I doubt the kind of masculinity advice Jordan Peterson is slinging helps any of the men who listen to him.

The only times I recommend someone read/hear Jordan Peterson is when they radically misrepresent him.
Completely agreed, sadly we’re seeing a ton of developers who are honestly more interested in getting half baked solutions out the door so they can move on to the next project. We have one customer who run a huge national project on a few MariaDB servers, one can technically run the whole thing, it’s no problem. Another customer is smaller but insist on using Hibernate, but they don’t really know how to use it, so they’ll frequently kill the database generating silly queries. Instead of accepting that may they don’t fully understand their choose stack, they try to “solve” the problem by adding things like Kubernetes and Kafka, complicating everything.

Modern databases, and servers in general is capable of amazing things, but there’s a shortage of developers with the skills to utilize them.
Flamanville 3 in France was started in 2007 and is due to be launched in 2022. It's the first of its generation (in France at least) so the delays and cost overruns are not unexpected. Even so, if more are to be built they will not come into service until the mid 2030's at the earliest. I don't think we can wait that long.

There's definitely potential to go too far into monolith territory and misinterpret how simple your architecture actually is.

An example: Django backed by Postgres. I tend to view this as 1 architectural unit, i.e. Postgres is wholly embedded in Django. I am under no illusion that I have both a Django project and a PostgreSQL instance. I have a Django-backed-by-Postgres. I can have that PostgreSQL instance be a standalone interface, but that means increasing my architectural units from 1 to 2. Instead, if I want to integrate with Django's raw tables, I'm going to do it on Django's terms (via a custom HTTP API) rather than fighting the ORM over who gets to DBA the database. Bad for performance? No doubt. We'll worry about that when we get there.

Yes, you can run a web app server directly out of Postgres without an additional "app layer" like Django (Crunchy has some cool tools for this). But should you?

To be clear, I'm a big fan of KISS, just skeptical of false minimalism.
When the words “RESTRICTED CLIENTELE” we're searched for 456 entries of accommodations scattered across the Country we're indicated as places that Jews and Blacks were not welcome.

Thanks for your help.
YouTube reviews are typically not actual reviews. They are usually hype videos containing “influencers” talking excitedly about the product they received for free under the condition that they sugarcoat everything.

A minimum of 60 jump cuts per minute is typically mandatory as well.
It's strange to me how low India is on the list. As an Indian all the Indians I know drink huge amounts of tea. Might just be an economics thing-- they can't afford to buy as much tea as they'd like to. That or it's something to do with the way the stats are collected
Do you have a developer sandbox with some example data? It's not feasible for the developer to create accounts with different providers if some are across the country.
You'll never come close to getting the visibility that you can with a backup camera. With a decent backup camera the only blind spots are actually underneath the car itself. You can't possibly match that without a camera on anything other than a motorcycle. Setting the legal requirement of visibility without mandating a camera would either make it completely impractical to avoid a camera or you'd be sacrificing visibility by making the mandate achievable with only mirrors and windows.
Strafe in shooter games is a movement relative to the direction you're facing without turning.

So on a standard two-stick controller layout your left stick is strafe and your right is aim.

I expect more people have played halo than flown planes.
White, straight male in my 40s who worked hard to build a decent career. The feeling that this culture hates me based on each of those categories, completely without knowing me, is hard to ignore much longer without a response.

The feeling comes from being on the losing side of every action the government and popular culture takes. Being told that you can’t even be involved in a conversation about that fact.
I don't know how much flak I will get for making a comment like this, but feel it's important to point out the data is obviously biased for (or at least the article doesn't specifically call out):

1. Western society's influence
2. Cultural background influence
3. Sex assigned at birth influence
> Remember "average" means you're already better than half the people!

Well, no. It just means you're part of the bell curve. Which is probably around 60 to 90% of people.
I worked with a guy like you when I was younger. I was 28 and he was 61 and we were the same level (senior engineer, below staff, basically two levels up from fresh grad). This was at eBay, which at the time was like working for a FAANG today.

He was perfectly happy. He came in at 9:30, napped at lunch for an hour, left at 5:30, and did ok work, good enough that you could give him a boring task and he'd get it done in a fairly timely manner. We made enough money to cover his mortgage and expenses, and he really had no ambition to go farther.

And there was nothing wrong with that. He enjoyed himself, wasn't bitter or angry or anything like that. Last I heard he retired at 67 and collected social security.
https://utilityapi.com/about

I think UtilityAPI was founded by "tech people" as well. I wonder if you have any specific examples or comparisons that would make me want to use your service over a well-established company?

I work in the energy industry, and while I would love to just try out your service for comparison, I don't have the time. Your site is very lacking in details.

Also, you said you know how to build a "really good developer experience" without "lack of clear documentation", but the most basic endpoint you have for collecting energy usage intervals (https://pelm.readme.io/reference/get_accounts-account-id-int...) does not have a good example for the data you return for a 200 response; I can't tell what the actual data will look like! You state it's tuples with `(timestamp, value)` but do not show an actual example with tuples in your docs. Compare that to UtilityAPI's docs for the same type of endpoint (https://utilityapi.com/docs/api/intervals) which have a very detailed example.

I would say you have some work to do, but good luck! I would love to see multiple good alternatives for collecting energy utility data.
> a significant part (majority?) of our culture is defined by our biology

That's a very strong claim. Obviously everything's influenced by biology to some extent (imagine what society would look like if we had no thumbs), but "to some extent" is doing a lot of legwork there, and it's quite a reach to say that the majority of our culture is defined by biology based on that.

Engineering and construction are pretty modern fields — how many societies have had engineers? Ours plus Rome plus not many others. But look at something like cooking, which is old: There's tons of weird gender stuff there that varies between societies. Why is grilling masculine if baking is feminine? Other societies have similarly odd gender-food rules too.
I was able to understand this phenomenon a bit when I realized that a number of Tesla supporters are simply pro car. Thus pedestrians, cyclists etc are considered interlopers to the roads, and if the supporters weren't Tesla enthusiasts they'd be making similar comments when driving their dinosaur burner.

It doesn't justify their comments, but at least made me understand a bit.

(I'm the opposite and believe all roads except controlled-access freeways and rail roads are for humans first, and then cyclists -- cars are there on sufferance)
People don't get good at stuff unless they practice

At some point you need to just do these adult things in order to get good. Delaying doesn't change that much. Better to get the practice over with as soon as possible.
Tend to agree here, or if you were to ask one of my kids (5 and 8), they’d say the grandmother in general was the villain. They didn’t see the nuance of it or the end as a moment of redemption. They just saw her as mean to Maribel and the villain.
Let's assume that this project merely clones the game mechanics and uses scans of its artwork, and all it does is providing a software version of the game, available at no cost.

With those assumptions in mind, would it be OK from a legal/copyright POV to release such an adaptation to the general public?
High school is a pretty special timeframe where girls on average have more conscientious, adult-like mindsets that their equally-aged male peers. That's a recipe for educational success too. But it doesn't last - males do catch up eventually and might even do better.
This is not science. Sorry but could not help it.
You can't sideload on the Onyx? I've been comparing Kobo to Onyx and I saw that Onyx does support the Google Play Store, which is good enough for me. I'm guessing what you're alluding to is no sideloading of apks.
I imagine this is why Apple is wanting to get into the car game, it sees this opporunity.
Hey, sports teach valuable life skills -- life skills the socially awkward often miss out on. Things like grit, teamwork, and not being a sore loser, as well as the importance of keeping your body in shape. In fact we are having a crisis of not enough boys doing sports, and as a consequence elite military units can't find enough recruits who meet the baseline physical fitness standards.

A reasonably intelligent person with an athletic background probably did well socially in HS, and will probably do well in the working world.
Their statement wasn't "this time it will deorbit" It was "as always, this and all starlink satellites were designed to deorbit". There is no reason anything else will happen (I don't know enough to say if there is a 1/1000000 chance that some atmospheric disturbance could add extra energy and push them up). However, as a rule, I don't want to base anything on Starlinks standard disclaimer.
There may exist inefficiencies in the transfer of heat from the element to the water, but there is no such thing as an inefficient heating element. All of the power it uses will be converted to heat. Take a light bulb for example. When used to light a space, the inefficient part would be the energy that is lost to heat. The rest is converted to light, but as soon as that light hits an object, it's converted to heat. So even a light bulb is a perfectly efficient heating element.

With this in mind, you aren't saving any money on your electric bill by turning off lights when your furnace is on.
It's already sold at cost, especially the base model. You can replace the ssd by urself
That's a fair point, but they don't have to compromise the truth. "The science we have says to do X, but if you can't do that at the very least do Y and here is the outcome you can expect as a result of failing to X"

Keep to hard science and let politicians use that information to make less than perfect policy decisions. That way, people can at least trust the CDC to always tell us what we should be doing and we can blame or sympathize with politicians for making less than ideal choices to satisfy corporate interests or out of a lack of faith in the American people.

That's much better than the CDC saying "The science says do Y" and then facing a massive amount of backlash as groups of experts say "That's a lie. The science says X" while advocates for Y say "See everybody! We were right!" and many people are left wondering who to trust. As a bonus, those who can do X, could choose to do the best thing no matter what the government policies are, including other nations with less petulant citizens who look to the CDC as a trustworthy source of information.
> dolls

Small clarification: the feminine-analogous toys used in the original (Hasset, 2008 [1]) study were plush rather than the more common plastic dolls sold to children. Although the difference may or may not be minor, it does remind me of the famous Harlow monkey experiment where monkeys showed a preference for the soft “mother” figure over the biologically sustenance “mother” figure.

Edit: Another commenter has already perpetuated this very misunderstanding it seems. Out of the Hasset female-coded toys, only one (a Raggedy Ann doll) was “anthropomorphic.” All six others were animals.

Oh, yeah, we basically only have what the elites wrote. Fashion would generally have been an elite thing then, though; it simply wasn't accessible to normal people.
I am not sure why you are getting downvoted. It is subjective. Hard disagree, though.
Glad I am not the only one. Have even watched it without my kids and listen to the soundtrack when they’re not there! Haven’t done that with a Disney movie, aside from maybe Moana with the soundtrack, probably ever.
Not sure I'd call it poor performance. The fact that it runs PC games largely unmodified at all in handheld form factor is quite a feat.

Relative to a mains powered desktop with massive thermal capacity it is poor performance yes but I'd say that is an unreasonable expectation.

And similarly using other handheld platforms running code designed specifically for it doesn't seem like a good comparison either.

That said I'm not buying one either. Mobile gaming doesn't appeal
How is it going to fail in consumer markets when it's been around for years? Every mobile phone is effectively locked - users don't have root and don't control the operating system.

And yet mobile phones are ubiquitous and users don't give a shit.
“Somewhat demeaning”? Shemale is a slur.
What's the point of the warning though?

If you're paying attention you know it's content marketing. If you're oblivious, the marketing probably isn't working.

Either way, you probably don't need a warning.
My understanding was that the implementation was protected by patents.
And can one call something a standard if the codec is not documented and needs to be reverse engineered?

Explicit evidence of Tiktok sharing information with the Chinese government is not needed because there is already sufficient evidence that

1. The Chinese government does not deserve our trust.

2. All Chinese businesses are extensions of the Chinese government.

The default assumption should be that your information is being sent to China and that China is using Tiktok as an extention of their propaganda arm.
