Metrics like this tend to binary outcomes like "had sex within the past n months" not total quantity of sex. They also get distorted because young men are in part losing out to older men. I think the differences are mostly overblown.
And so are gozmodo and their partners.

At least the opt-out isn't as bad as many: just 9 clicks as you don't have to turn off each partners "legitimate interest" box off individually, but if you aren't in the EU all those partners could be taking you without even giving you an out-out option.

No.

Sounds like an exception, not the rule. At least, I've never seen two people who coded together all the time. Not in the 20 years I've been a software developer (in both startups and in BigCorpInc).
The simple non-serious solution to this is for governments to require that before a user can consent to a legal "agreement" (like a privacy policy, or an EULA) they have to have it read to them, live, by a lawyer. At 150 words per minute, that agreement would have taken half an hour to read, which lawyers would charge at least £50 for.

There is literally a public record that is well document about this strategy. Keeping the company private. Developing the larger vehicle. And so on.
The term "collecting" implies storing the raw sample on ice or actually sequencing the DNA and keeping that.

These are the lessons from the selling side. From the buying side there's a different set of lessons, like: they sold us junk that doesn't really work, their people are leaving to another start-up the founder created, nightmarish regulatory violations that only pop up after the merger, having to re-build their entire tech stack/accounts from scratch because it was all built by hand and held together with masking tape, contracts not discovered until after the merger, vetting all software licenses and use cases, the product not being able to integrate with your product like they claimed, 10 years of tech debt. Then there's how much time and money you lose and risk you gain from not doing enough due diligence or not having an efficient onboarding/integration process. I've been at large companies that were M&A masters, and companies that have done dozens of M&As and still can't get a single one right.
In the face of all of this, the US remains the most desirable place to emigrate to. The logical conclusion here is that the impression you have from news is not the complete picture. The US is massive and diverse. If you go by the county level, the US contains the highest HDI areas in the world.

So two questions:

1) what other priorities?

2) has anyone that worked on teams actually used it? It has one of the worst UX's ever.
Hate to be picky.

But the planet is going to be just fine, for a very long time.

From what I get, they are pushing users to use the "advanced editor" a.k.a. the format button. A few things ONLY work there:

- Lists: A few months ago you can simply use markdown style lists in any chat and hitting enter would create a new list item instead of sending the whole message off. A few updates since Nov slowly stripped off this option for Chats, and then Channels. The only option to send lists is to use the format button.

- As you said, code snippets, now they stripped off all indentations if you are not using the format button (and have to go through a tedious process to insert code)
For me, experimenting, debugging and everything else that's basically try-and-error is actually where pair programming really shines.
Most of our time is spent finding solutions to problems, even if it's just figuring out how to use an API. When we are working on a problem with two people at the time, we can carry on as early as the first of both figures out the solution.
It's not about sharing a keyboard to write code together. Pair programming is about approaching development with two different ways of thinking.

Those are not glasses.
I'm intrigued, what's your vision for it?
> In that case explaining why you like anything is a way to shut people up who don't

No. It is just that specifically agile has a way to responding to people who dont like something with very very handwavy explanations that feel good, but dont really mean anything. Explaining why you personally like something is entirely different kind of communication. Explaining why you think something works well is also different. But, going into "this makes sense, because two people make sense in rally racing" is neither of those.

Why rally racing and not any of the other races where competitors are alone? Why not soccer team for that matter? That seems closer to development then any vehicle racing anyway.

At least in the US, an "associate professor" is already tenured -- you don't have to be a full professor to be tenured -- you just have to get out of the assistant professor stage. There are of course non-tenure track positions such as "adjunct professors" which are generally hired on a year to year (or even semester to semester) basis.
> How many people were forever traumatized by reading those?

Zero. This is all a made up problem.
Like coal mining companies buying "offsets". Greenwashing.
One possible explanation is that, as you say, "most people" are monogamous -- the rest are a group of men who have more partners drawn from the same group of women (excluding the monogamous women), and a group of men who are not having partners at all.

See this article [0] discussing a study, and specifically this quote in it which I think reconciles both your point and the GP's:

> Most women and men reported at least weekly sex, and most people reported having one sexual partner in the prior year. In the most recent surveys, men age 18 to 44 were more likely to have had no partners in the past year (16 percent) compared to women (12 percent). Men also were more likely to have had three or more partners in the past year (15 percent) compared to women (7 percent).

I will accept both judgments. :D
I didn't mean the literature, I meant this discussion on HN.

You seem to want me to rehash my position (also asserting "it's not that complicated") when it's obvious it is complicated (otherwise people wouldn't hold disagreements so strongly, even here) and also you could simply read about my position or other's in this very comments section of HN.

The fact you mistook the position under discussion to be about Japanese crimes (which is why you so vehemently described them), when it was about alleged justifications for the atomic bombings, also makes me think it's indeed a complicated topic.

What I am telling you is that I am not going to rehash my position again for your benefit. Read it elsewhere in this comments section. If you feel like you must simply restate what others have already said, maybe don't? It adds nothing to the conversation.
Ooof and the ones that do this coupled with some usually-obnoxious but always-repeating song deserve a special place in hell. I was so pleasantly surprised when I got YouTube TV when some ad-less spots were just substituted by a tranquil nature scene (a movie clip, so you were still sure that it wasn't frozen) and no music at all.
The county should act; assign parking spaces for these things, fine the companies if they find any outside of the designated spaces. The companies can sort it out with their customers.

We are seeing the same thing with electric scooters and bikes (and they get torched sometimes), they get parked anywhere and the county's on board with it because it's "green".

This was NOT as much of a problem with rental bikes in e.g. London, because they had designated stations for picking up and parking them; the user would get charged extra if they did not park their bike up properly.
No lol, it's the other people responsibility not to be a nuisance.

But I agree throwing them aside is not the optimal solution.

Municipality looking for money could get some large cash influx from ticketing improperly parked scooters, the owning company can decide to eat the loss or flip the ticket on the user, either way people will get educated fast.

It would only take for the law enforcement to enforce rules that are already there

Maybe instead of Slack we should use more collaborative editing tools (like Google Docs or Miro).

Sounds like a real professional, you lucked out. The standard case is to just inherit that garbage and pray to god nothing breaks when you touch it.
Pair programming is a very effective agile bodyshop sales ploy: twice the price for less than half the mediocrity.
I expect that it is because in general, more useful functions and operations are closed in the complex plane. Things that may superficially appear complicated to a human being learning math, like analytic extension [1], from a theoretical perspective means that when you need the tool, it is there, and continues to expand the sets of problems you can address.

As you add restrictions to the set of numbers you want to use, you are importing those restrictions into every proof you want to do on those numbers. For instance, consider the question, "Does this polynomial of some high degree have roots, and if so, how many?"

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra proves that the answer is yes, and the number of roots is the same as the degree (although some may be roots multiple times). See [2].

Now, as you watch 2, consider what happens to the proof if you confine it even to the reals, let alone the integers. While the complex plane is "more complex" from a human perspective, the proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra using the complex plane is not that complicated. Consider trying to make equivalent statements about polynomials with only real roots, and not using the complex plane in the proofs. In cases where it is feasible, your proofs will inevitably be carrying around a lot more caveats about what polynomials it applies to, and there may be things that the caveats simply render infeasible. As you step down the number hierarchy, the caveats get worse and worse. There's more and more "holes" that every proof about those simpler numbers has to step around.

The same simplicity that makes it easier to start your education with just integers becomes a crippling limitation when trying to work with them, which is also in some sense the exact same reason why we have to step you up the number hierarchy even in non-specialist education. Math limited to just integers is so confining and difficult to work with that it isn't even enough for day-to-day life. The simplicity is a double-edged sword.

WPF is still kicking. The big difference between the UI frameworks is who developed them. WinForms and WPF came from DevDiv, so they will be supported forever and are stable choices. UWP and WinRT came from the Windows team; I'd put money on them being passing fads. React Native came from outside of Microsoft entirely, so it's probably a safe choice too.
And let's not forget the impact this has on developing boys as well, since it ends up in our water supply.

As someone else mentioned, there are those who see this as a feature, not a bug. Scary to think about.

WSL and WSL2 were created to target the market of people that buy Mac laptops when they should be supporting Linux OEMs.

People that don't care what OS they are running, as long as they get their POSIX toys.

In fact, given the size of that market, most likely Linux would never happened if Microsoft had been half as serious with Windows NT POSIX subsystem.
Is this a sign that Microsoft is running out of employees that understand their own codebase?
>So you make the problem worse?

It might make the problem worse in the short term but maybe those leaving them in the middle will move them out of the way in the future possibly reducing the issue long term.
Yes, most of the people in my group have FreeBSD desktops where I work. FreeBSD is kind of the odd-man out, as our IT folks support Linux as a first class citizen (along side MacOS and Windows). So we have to use a few workarounds, but it goes fairly smoothly.
That's still very dismissive of anyone using the sidewalks. Good for you that you pick up someone else's shit, but it's not a solution. These companies should take responsibility and fix the problem.
You could also do some sort of “Tell HN: this is why I moved from tech to law and back” post, although it does seem like the site penalizes those sort of posts so it might not be very visible either.

It's definitely true that eating less/healthier is the most important part of weight loss. However, perhaps because exercise played a big role in my own weight loss journey, I do feel like people go too far in dismissing it as a weight loss aid.

First of all, while a 3k run isn't going to do much to burn off that slice of cake you had with lunch, if you transition from a generally inactive lifestyle to a generally active one (eg, by getting into running as a hobby), you can cumulatively burn a decent amount of calories. Cardio as a hobby is not for everyone, but I thought it wasn't for me until I gave it a shot and found I really enjoyed it.

There are also psychological advantages of incorporating exercise into a weight loss regime. I started eating better after, and partially because, I started exercising. When you work out a lot, you start to enjoy feeling healthy (or at least, thinking of yourself as a healthy person), and you start to realise that junk food is working against that.

Finally, weight loss should not be your only goal if you are interested in getting healthier. It's true that you could lose weight by being very sedentary and eating very little, but I suspect that would bring its own health problems.

It makes sense that people who feel that they’ve been unfairly imprisoned in their homes by the rest of society would feel rather bitter about that.

To restore faith societies could take steps to compensate those worst hit by pandemic measures (i.e young people), so far that hasn’t happened.

> what happens once you reach 4560 calories?

There are loads of videos on YouTube of what happens. You may or may not want to watch them. Spoiler alert: you vomit when you eat too much.

The vomit limit is probably higher than 4560 (which BTW has a suspicious number of significant digits), there might be a range between too many calories and vomiting where your body breaks down the food into waste without digesting any more nutrients/calories. Kinda like how if you eat too much vitamin C, you’ll just pee most of it out.

>With UI/Design it isn't as bad as with software development in general, but in both cases you need ongoing work or your product gets outdated. Things get deprecated. A website that worked fine many years ago might now not be fine.

What? I usually see the opposite: it's the super-hip updates that break all the interoperability and standards compliance the site had. My usability add-ons more reliably work on old sites than on the hot new framework that doesn't consistently indicate clickable links or allow you to open views in a new tab.

>Many people use phones and the UI might not fit anymore.

The designs that try to overthink whether I'm on a phone? Those end up being worse e.g. the fixed floating headers/footers that take 60% of the screen in landscape mode when the desktop version was actually usable. (With portrait not being much better.)

The answer for awhile was definitely no, but now it's yes. They have re-committed to both WinForms and WPF.

Super minor improvements were presented as the big new thing. But thats how the field is.

I for one just learned to ignore it and just look at the merit of a paper and what it contributes.

He tried to sell it to Ubiquiti but they did not bite.

> it’s widespread porn use, which has extremely detrimental effects on your dopamine system, which leads to something you might term ‘lack of charisma, confidence and vital energy’, which leads to less people having sex due to confidence/charisma issues and lack of any drive.

Your perspective is wrong and your individual direct experience means nothing and cannot be generalised to others. If you (and your pear group) decide porn is bad for you and you don't watch it anymore, that's your perfectly fine decision -- no one forces porn on you! But do not generalise, please.

Say: 'I was an addict and porn was bad for me.'
Do not say: 'porn is highly addictive and bad.'

Porn is quite unlike alcohol. More like chocolate, maybe, but don't cite me on that.
