If you say so, it will be so. If you write this code, you should not be surprised when running it achieves the programmed result. Whether you believe me or not, your statements are false. I spent time thinking this way, I suffered immensely, I put in deep effort to explore a larger perspective, and I am now greatly enjoying how incomplete was the field I saw before.

Women don't all want a provider. The trust of many has been damaged beyond that. They provide for themselves now (lots of men actually say we want that). What else can a man offer? Emotional support. The ability to make her feel like a fucking goddess. Being a homemaking belly dancer more aligns with that than doesn't.

You are right that women must participate too. They already are. It's men's attitudes that need to catch up.
Does anyone else feel many of the "men's" works are just physics terms (boson, femtosecond, pizoelectric)? And maybe a second grouping around Japanese cultural cliches (Bushido, Katana)?

Is there a similar set in the women's words that isn't apparent to a male physics grad like me?
I'd like to know more about your ideas of suffering offsets and why the idea total societal misery is something that can be measured or even considered. Wouldn't it be great if we could have a semi-structured, free intellectual environment that is ALSO a healthy working environment? I'm curious if you would still feel this way if you had been designated as the unhealthy minority that lies beneath our consideration as long as health outcomes continue to improve, on average?
> It is of course very misleading present to these "leaks" as evidence of "lab origin".

To be clear I don't have any evidence of a lab leak origin [edit](for COVID-19), and did not claim to!
I wish this report got us any closer to really knowing[1]. Unfortunately, it just feeds on the same emotional headlines and conspiracy spreading sites as the last 2 years. When HK Tweets, the Daily Mail, and Washington Times are your starting point[2], each containing their own unsupported allegations, with Chinese[3], Russian, and US agit prop all vying for their place at the table, reasonable people will respond with, "come back when you have some evidence", or "and this helps how?". Should the WHO be able to actually do their investigation, yes, but do I really trust the Director General Ghebreyesus, no, because he's been uniformly awful from denying human COVID transmissibility to denying boosters.

_The timeline matters a lot here. If they were sequenced in Dec 2019 then it’s exceptionally important, because [China] holds SarsCov2s not discovered until December 30 to 31._

“On other hand, if sequenced in early 2020 then they could be contaminated with some early patient samples and still concord with Chinese government timeline. Right now, it doesn't seem there is enough info to narrow down timeline to distinguish between these.

“All we can say is that these samples were contaminated at Sangon Biotech with some early SarsCov2 viruses, some of which appear to have been from lab-grown samples.”

Dec. 30, 2019: The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission issues an “urgent notice” to medical institutions in Wuhan, saying that cases of pneumonia of unknown cause have emerged from the city’s Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market.

Jan. 5, 2020: Earliest known tweet suggesting China created the virus. @GarboHK tweeted: “18 years ago, #China killed nearly 300 #HongKongers by unreporting #SARS cases, letting Chinese tourists travel around the world, to Asia specifically to spread the virus with bad intention. Today the evil regime strikes again with a new virus.”

Jan. 23: A Daily Mail article appears, headlined: “China built a lab to study SARS and Ebola in Wuhan — and U.S. biosafety experts warned in 2017 that a virus could ‘escape’ the facility that’s become key in fighting the outbreak.”

Jan. 26: The Washington Times publishes an article with the headline: “Coronavirus may have originated in lab linked to China’s biowarfare program.” An editor’s note is added March 25: “Since this story ran, scientists outside of China have had a chance to study the SARS-CoV-2 virus. They concluded it does not show signs of having been manufactured or purposefully manipulated in a lab.”

If iOS was open like traditional computers, its impossible to guess what creative, bright young people could do with it. Instead, it's locked down and we know precisely what they can do: consume.
> If Apple (or Google or anyone) had a truly secure phone, then there should be no need for curation of apps.

I think you're missing something important, which is that the App Store is part and parcel of Apple's (mostly successful) layered security model.
I have launched on PH last year, ended up 5th product of the day then companies started reaching out asking for demos.

I left my job end of that week and been doing it full time for a year now.

However, I agree with comments about launches in general. If you have a good network, you can launch rubbish and end up in the top 5.
I don't watch mainstream news, but I got the exact same impression from people. Usually from the tinge of disgust in their voice every time they say the word "China."
> Are you suggesting there's a point in having rows in corresponding pairs like this? If so, what is it?

If you've ever read a balance sheet (e.g. on a 10k), those things are much easier to compile with double-entry bookkeeping because everything is already neatly categorized.

But another thing to think about is that accounting is a very old profession, and when you're totaling everything by hand (or using an abacus, adding machine, etc.), mistakes are easy to make. If you notice your debits not matching your credits, you immediately know you messed something up. Making the same mistake twice (and thus not catching it) is much less likely, so double-entry makes your work more reliable.
> “don’t get married if you are successful and like financial security”.

But that's terrible advice really, and doesn't follow reality. So I think there is something more going on.

I don't think simple, actionable advice is that hard really, but there is a lot of political and ideological noise around the subject that confuses people.
I used to work at a startup which did the same thing for health records.

In fact, our frontend plugin was also called "Connect".

As an end user, it sounds like you will take my credentials for my utility provider, log into their website with those credentials, extract my data, store it in a normalized form in your DB, and expose it through your REST API.

Is this true?

If so, while you are logged in, you will also have access to financial information (e.g. bank account information, billing info, etc.). This is pretty sensitive data. What kind of guarantees are you making about not touching that data?

(All this assumes that my model for how Pelm works is true. Apologies if it isn't.)
I was also curious about the population of participants. The paper has this to say:

> The test was made available on a dedicated website (http://vocabulary.ugent.be/). Access to the test was unlimited.

> we analyzed the data of 221,268 individuals who completed 265,346 sessions.

That's a pretty large sample, although I wonder how they recruited the participants. It may be in the paper but I couldn't find mention of that in a quick skim.
Before my time :)
> I'll gesture vaguely at "the suburbs". Low trust and alienation describes

I agree with this for sure, and such zoning issues have been pointed to as the root cause of other societal ills dating back to (at least) Jane Jacobs' 1961 book The Death and Life of Great American Cities.[1]

“Believe science” can be just another way for people to outsource their thinking to someone else. Authoritarianism is attractive to humans on a primal level. Obviously no one person can be an expert in all areas, but it seems like many people have lost the skill of considering alternative viewpoints and practicing humility. If you can’t present your opponent’s argument in a compelling way but instead only engage with the most extreme fringes of an idea, that’s a pretty strong tell.
All of this is already possible if you have an Apple developer account. You just need to re-sign the .app bundle with your own key and you can deploy it from Xcode to your phone. Ok, maybe you need to change the bundle ID too, otherwise it will complain that it's already registered with a different developer account, but that's fine.

iOS developers are sideloading their apps hundreds of times each day...
I feel like a lot of these comments are missing the point. Many of these reviewers have handheld pcs that are comparable or better than the steamdeck on a hardware level but cost 2-3x as much (although they got them for free). They’re excited for what this means for the industry. An affordable, usable linux device by Valve pushes publishers and developers to make their game work on linux (whether natively or via proton). Higher linux adoption means better linux drivers and more use of opensource and free software, which would be huge in an industry plagued with proprietary work.
Surprised there are so many negative comments here because I think the author is spot on. Technologically, there is significant redundancy between streaming services and mergers would cut costs dramatically. The competition is all in the ownership of the content, which is costly to produce, so again consolidation makes sense.

Another very similar medium to TV streaming is the podcasting space, and it has seen a lot of consolidation with Spotify gobbling up Gimlet and Anchor among others and Apple+ going on their own buying sprees. New original studios seem to get absorbed very quickly.

The observation about people getting sick of a fractured subscription market seems also true. Not sure if Netflix will completely falter but if there's ever some kind of ganging up between Netflix competitors it's hard to not think that Netflix would have a tough time.
Two words "China virus" . He absolutely was promoting it as a theory to radicalize his base further and scare them thus making them more likely show up and vote for him so he could protect them from "the other".
It's arch based, you can probably make it cooler, less powerful, and turn the fans off.
> I don’t want Facebook, Google, and co. to require sideloading in order to get around Apple’s privacy rules, but I do want to be able to run emulators without paying $99/year.

Cannot have it both ways. If it will be possible, FB will use it, and write a detailed sideload instructions.
And this is where the conversation derails - when someone asks for evidence.
I've heard the causation goes the other way for ADHD.

TV and TikTok don't cause ADHD. They're products that arise to exploit people's attention, and they work excellently on people with poor executive function. TV doesn't cause ADHD, ADHD causes TV.

You can probably train attention span, and there are ways to cope with ADHD (I cope pretty well, and I have only mild symptoms), but it's measurable and it's genetic.

I guess you and I would agree on the conclusion - Treat social media like any other addictive drug: Regulate it, don't let kids get hooked on it, maybe even discourage adults from abusing it.

I think a lot of it comes down to, video and human faces exploit something deep in your brain. Maybe Hacker News just feels high-brow to me because there aren't image macros and constant ":O" clickbait thumbnails like some other sites.
>It takes a lot of Tiger Kings, Queens Gambits, and Squid Games to match up against the Marvel and Star Wars universes

Is he for real? Black Mirror alone explores more themes in a more creative way than the entire output of Hollywood over the past 10 years combined.

Add in Squid Game, The Queen's Gambit, The Good Place and more original content, and I think Netflix is honestly the king of quality content right now. They seem to be in the sweet spot, budget-wise, where they can afford to actually bring the director's vision to life, without the production values being so high that they can't afford to take risks.
>We're quickly getting to the point where I'm paying almost as much for VOD subscriptions as I was for cable.

You're still ultimately paying less for a far superior product. I'd much rather see a world with an a-la-carte federated media platform for individual content creators than anything like what Netflix was.
I think you're confusing the Apple TV app (which shows content from any participating video app on the App Store) and the Apple TV+ service (it's a separate tab within the app), which is Apple's own subscription content.
I think Netflix will merge with content producers and become one of three global streaming services. The market share battle is just about positioning before this inevitable consolidation.
Increasing the national debt doesn’t decrease private savings, it increases them. The nation is not a household.
And the rest is history.

Speculation, you mean.
I think you misunderstood that remark intended to be humorous. Its too bad you took offense.

Your right about it being a tool. A tool which has better alternatives.

A virtual machine running in virtual box or some other vendor's VM has literally none of the limitations that wsl2 does.

WSL 2 Doesn't fully support all userspace stuff, I bump into that all the time.

You can ssh into other boxes using PowerShell.

It is objectively bad compared to the alternatives.
> Saying “I'm using ASCII” doesn't mean anything anymore, because nobody uses EBCDIC anymore

I get what you're saying, but I have seen bugs at work caused by distributed systems sending text in ASCII or UTF8 to an IBM z/OS mainframe with EBCDIC.
> How many streaming TV platforms do I really need?

I find that Netflix generally makes people's list, on a list of N--even if N == 1.

We'll have to see if that's still true after the price hikes.
> It's not a life decision, it's a whim.

If I were still single, this would be true. But picking up Disney+ for a month is not a short-term commitment if you have small children.
I'm a highly emotionally-available, bellydancing bi guy who's dated both men and women, so I have a reasonable comparison point. Men are far, far more open-minded about the gender roles their partners inhabit than women are. It's not even close.
Aren’t there secular clubs that can have a large social element like rotary clubs or book clubs or even some sports like golf for example?

I guess you could also try joining a church where it’s basically acceptable to be an atheist like the Unitarian Universalist church although that would maybe be too spiritual.
Oh I see seems like they literally could not rotate (against atmosphere) by reaction wheels to then fire the thruster
I’m reminded of the aircraft in The 6th Day movie.

Everybody knows that Minecraft Java edition will run on anything that can run Java, like a Raspberry Pi, for example. Well, you need a launcher to run Minecraft Java edition, and the Java launcher (which will run on anything) only supports Mojang accounts (see https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/alternative it still says "We got you covered!").

Contrary to what others said in this thread, I think that the communication has been quite poor for this use case, because the official communication insists on saying that the Java version will still be working, which is a lie: the Java launcher already stopped working for new customers (I met several people who bought Minecraft to use it on Raspberry Pi, and their money is lost, because their purchase doesn't allow them to create the necessary Mojang account), and it will also stop working for all existing accounts in a few weeks.

It was not so hard to decide to make is a FAQ and say "Sorry guys, we are dropping support for all the architectures which are not the top 3 ones, your game will stop working", instead of saying "Don’t worry – the only thing that’s changing is how you log in to the game! [...] Minecraft: Java Edition will stay exactly the same, and we’ll continue to update and support it in the future."
I recently did a round of interviews with a few companies, and I came up with a list of fun questions for the interviewer, mostly based on my own gripes with my then-employer or things other companies were doing that I didn't like. I caught everyone I asked these to off-guard.

> "Every company gets criticized. What's a piece of criticism your company has received that you felt wasn't really accurate? What about the opposite- any criticism that you agreed with?"

> "Does your company have any policy that enforces a specific minimum number of people let go per time period? IE: Stack ranking, 'Unregretted rate of attrition (URA)', etc"

> "What are the company's non-compete rules? If I wanted to make and sell an app in my spare time, is that allowed? What isn't allowed?"

> "How does promotion and career growth work? If hired, what steps would I need to take to get my next promotion? What holds people back in those situations?"

I got great answers though. I learned a lot about the companies because I asked these to a number of people at each company. Those answers lead me to pick a company that was offering less money, but was a better place for me to be.
Any argument that starts with the Mac entirely misses the point on why iOS is different and why it is more important than ever to protect users on that platform. The userbase of each of those respective products is so different that you can't just take a feature from one and say it makes sense on the other. It's especially arrogant to say that to the company that makes both of them. You can say "gee it would be neat if this thing you did over here could be brought here", but you can't really fight tooth and nail that the company is WRONG to not do it.
> Personally, I would love to just pay a microtransaction for the show I want to see, but I'm not sure the economics stack up.

I'm longing for this for years. I'm pretty fed up of often the only choices being either free and ad supported or having to pay a monthly subscription for entertainment, journalism, software, etc. I have quite a high willingness to pay for all of these, but I don't want to manage a hundred concurrent subscriptions nor having to restrict use to a small subset of services.
They might ask you to implement sqrt(), but the question being asked isn’t “Can this person implement square root using Newton’s Method?”, it’s “How does this person tackle a problem without an obvious solution?”
I don't see myself ever cancelling Netflix, Disney+ or Amazon Prime. They're the basic 3 channels we watch in our house.

The others -- Hulu, Apple, HBO, Paramount, Noggin, Showtime -- are 'extra' channels that we'll probably cancel & re-subscribe on occasion, depending on whether there are shows we want to watch. (HBO's in the middle. We've been subscribers for years, but the content has been lacking lately and I've seriously considered cancelling it.)

I wonder, how common is our framework among consumers, of having a few permanent channels and then a broader set of rotating ones?
That study is false.

What's shocking is that these areas are still gender-dominated. Why should they be?
I wouldn't even care about side loading if they finally would drop their browser engine requirement for other browsers. I want to use the real Firefox with all of it's sweet addons on iOS and then I'm completely happy. Hell, let people use Chrome. They can even disallow it for non-browser apps.
So you are saying the democrats knew what Xi was going to do? Why are Democrats always ascribed to having talents of precognition and ultimate power to control the country yet they are also seen as "blundering idiots" by republicans?
FWIW, as an amateur historian I did a high-level talk on the history of barbecue, especially as it relates to the grilling styles found in California (popularized as "Santa Maria BBQ"). Long story short, men were running the pits not only in the 1950s, but also the 1850s, 1750s, 1650s, etc. Why? It might have been because meat was the product of the hunt. It might have been because running a barbecue could mean many hours of hot, smoky, dirty work that often involved physically strenuous activity. For quite a lot of American history, barbecues were often conducted for large numbers of guests and may have started the day before with transporting fuel, digging a trench, pre-heating the trench overnight, processing one's pigs, mutton, poultry, beef, or what have you, making your coals and keeping the supply up throughout the cook, etc. Also, the cuts of meat used were often far larger/heavier than we're used to — the original Santa Maria Barbecue cooks used top blocks of beef and similarly large cuts, not itty bitty tri-tips.

Famed barbecue "masters" were universally men, though if everyone is being honest much of the hard work at many large barbecues (with hundreds of guests) was actually performed by black men (or Californios, or what have you depending upon the location). Large barbecues were generally tied to political efforts or organizations, festivals, and the like. During the Depression there were large government-subsidized barbecues so everyone could get some meat in their bellies and enjoy one another's company during those tough times, and there again we see men and women typically taking on disparate roles in the cooking process.

Contemporary accounts of the barbecues of years past generally have women inside doing not easier work, but different work. Making pies, side dishes, baking, etc. Even the pre-Columbian/Spanish Chumash tended to split their work pretty strictly, with women doing things like grinding acorn flour in bedrock mortars with the kids, while the men fished, hunted, gathered shellfish, etc. Contemporary drawings of various indigenous peoples show them smoking/grilling fish and iguana, but again everyone in the images are male. I confess I don't firmly know what kind of sex differences existed in the roles played in the cooking American slaves did for one another, something I really should remedy, but when it came to big gatherings the differences were apparent and as I wrote above.

I can't really speak to causality, but in terms of time scale the M-F patterns seem to substantially pre-date the 1950s.

Oh, and fun fact: the offset smoker was invented in Texas in the 1970s. That little factoid seems to blow people's minds...
"It's completely precedented", you said, apparently in reference the lab-origin hypothesis.
