Those other forms of love are fairly different from the sexual, romantic love that the article is focusing on. It's not "reduce all of this" to sexual interaction, it's focusing on romantic love instead of conflating it with other love.

> It's a common thing with these evo-psych explanations. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

If everything in reality is made from nails, then it makes sense to look for the hammer that hammered it in. Everything in human psychology was in fact molded through evolution, so of course it makes sense to look to evolution for potential answers.

> For example the fact that oxytocin is apparently indicative of how long a relationsihp lasts.

If a culture artificially forces relationships to last by, say, heavily stigmatizing divorce, then of course that's going to override the "natural" course of events. That hardly means there isn't useful information to be gleaned from our biological nature in situations where such artificial forces are not in force. (Or you could argue, where different artificial forces are in force.)

So let me guess, the "Climate Crisis" is now going to be used as a justification for draconian authoritarian government policy, regulation, and laws. or worse we will new see heads of State, governors etc, just declare "states of emergency" to implement "action" based on the "climate crisis" with no legislative involvement at all.

We have seen this with COVID, using the justification of "saving lives" now we are seeing the foundations laid for transforming constitutional republics in to Dystopian "forever in emergency" Technocracy of "Trust the Experts" dictatorships
I think it's entirely different. Tower is a specialty foundry.
War probably wasn't the best example because, although I wasn't thinking of it, there's still that social element.

My point is that war involves people directly interacting with physical reality in ways that aren't mediated socially. Modern high tech people live in a world where popular illusions and perception are much more important than gravity and inertia, but reality still exists somewhere, and sometimes it matters.
No reasonable scientist has ever claimed that their theory is 100% correct and that it is an objective truth.

Scientific theories are merely our best approximations of how the world works.

Usually it is the anti-scientific drivel that is full of assertions and absolute statements, which is also what makes it so popular, especially among the less educated crowd.

I agree that making progress is of utmost importance, but the concept of truth is much more nuanced and, imo, difficult to define in objective terms.
I doubt masks are even all that important with regard to ability to read faces, because eye muscles are at least as important as mouth muscles in displays of emotional affect.

As if the scammers and con-artists operating in crypto are ANY better than the banks. Banks are not perfect, but they are highly regulated, and come with a ton of consumer protections. There's none of that in crypto, and people are getting scammed or having their crypto stolen ALL the time.

I was about to roll my eyes since this is exactly the kind of title used by people who do not care about privacy. Maybe I'm just too jaded but it might be better to leave that title out (the paragraph below it says enough) or at least reword it.
Coming up with a candidate molecule is the easy part. It has a 1 in 1000 chance of running the gauntlet to the point where you would do human testing. You will have to give the drug to 1000s of people and monitor their condition. Then you will have to figure out how to manufacture the molecule at scale.

The status quo is a remarkably good match to the requirements of drug development.

You have to not only pay for the blockbuster drug but you have to pay for all the failures.
This uses stackful continuations. I.e. you can nest arbitrary code between setting the handler and invoking an effect. With C++ language-level coroutines, everything in between would also need to be a coroutine which doesn't compose as well (i.e. this library doesn't suffer from the colored function problem).

More programming languages/platforms need to include built-in routines for various kinds of unicode sanitization.
I do understand that reasoning, but that comes back to my annoyance with having to deal with a million files to do anything simple. I then need to create a backing controller if it wasn't there before, and if it is there, I need to add on an extra computed on top of the mess of other computeds already present. Why so complicated? JSX and Vue's flavor of templating is infinitely better, since it's basically just regular javascript in the template.

"The software development job market doesn't really work that way either where a specific skill, like time on keyboard and programming, is an entire job by itself."

I think this varies a lot. I can be as prolific I like to in my current role, but our team is a bit of a "special case" in the sense we are all acting as individual contributors in a number of mission critical core libraries. For me the dev cycle is mostly about programming, closing tickets, updating unit tests, and releasing. We deploy modules to products, but don't have production systems ourselves. If bugs emerge in production they return to our desk for fixing, but the interval between doing a release in project X does not stop me from progressing in project Y.

I guess we are chugging quite a lot of added value for the org - it's not obvious from the paycheck, but the environment is surprisingly low pressure (we try to hire only high performers hence everyone is trusted). Low pressure from the point of view I can work at the exact velocity I like, that is, and have not heard complaints so far.

The whole setup was "instigated" by a few high performing programmers in the org years ago and since it has produces continuous value ever since I suppose nobody wants to change it much. I presume this is quite atypical, though.
>Is HN becoming more of an "echo chamber"?

My previous account had people following me to downvote me and the occasional threats. This has much more to do with topics that you're not allowed to criticize. They would even follow to unrelated subjects. Got flagged constantly for no valid reason.

Created new account, no problem anymore.

>2. If yes[2], how big of an "echo chamber" you think HN has become (or is becoming)?

I thought so, but it would seem it's really just 1 main topic. this one side considers this an extinction event and therefore anyone who criticizes their movement is literally killing them.

>How wide-spread is this issue? Is it limited to certain topics only? If yes, what are those topics?

New one seems to have been created basically a day ago. Canada declared martial law in order to end peaceful protests. The far left commie antifa folks were even shocked and freaked out. Obviously right-wing disagree as well.

The problem is that Trudeau and the propaganda media have been smearing the protests as Nazis, Racists, Sexists, etc. It's to the point that Bill Maher started comparing Trudeau to Hitler. Then days after Bill Maher said this, he misuses the martial law emergency act. Worse yet, the wording in his speech mirrored Hitler's speech in 1933.

I dont think Trudeau is planning to be Hitler, I think he's only consuming the propaganda that his own 'government accredited media' is putting out.

The problem is... so is so many other people falling for this propaganda. Those people are calling on the police to break up the peaceful protests. Here we are though, first time during my life time ever being under martial law.

I have never invested in crypto before but sure as shit am now.
I believe the obsession with identifying contributors can have a severe negative impact on open source development. I get the security perspective, but since that part of the industry seems bored far too often, recommendations should be followed cautiously. I am just a very small time open source contributor, but I don't want a developer certificate to be identifiable. I don't like signed code or executables and I don't think I would have contributed if I had to jump through such holes.
A far better one than him phrasing it that way; a way which shows that he is pretty competent.

>> Fortunately, AMEX heavily sides with consumers against merchants

No. AMEX heavily sides with AMEX against merchants. AMEX, via chargeback penalties, turns a net profit every time a customer complaint is filed. They aren't being nice out of the goodness of their hearts. They are leveraging their market dominance to extract penalty money from users. Just be happy that we customers are on the winning side ... for now.
So how do you feel about buying a used car right now? (i.e. buy one at this moment, after
40% YoY appreciation, because who knows what tomorrows price will be) And if it's not good advice for used cars, why is it good advice for a house? After all, there's a fixed supply of platinum for catalytic converters and they're not making any more of it!

My opinion is that the current housing surge is being driven by people who need more space for screaming children and home offices and are willing to pay whatever they need to for it. I know it's why my brother bought a house he thought was $250k overpriced - just to keep his wife happy during Covid.

These factors and the state of Covid WFH are, IMO, not permanent though. Time will tell. If we're never headed back to the office maybe these prices are here to stay.
Well, a computer bug is easy to verify. It is typically: your thing is broken and here I show that it is broken.
A pharma "bug bounty" requires a whole heck of a lot of testing. It is a different question and answer: We do not have this, can someone make it? Sure, I made it: but did you test it on humans? Were there side effects? etc.
bug bounties are like crypto mining in the sense that you don't do anything except find faults. Pharma discovery is all about discovery.

So to me, again: The prosecutor did, the governor didn't.

> Programming is a skill sure, but it does not create value, it creates programs.

Economic value is created when a human being spends man-hours to produce an artifact that other people need and thus are willing to pay for. Programming is a form of working, as is designing, researching, building, plumbing etc.

The artifact of programming (ie the program) is the value you create by working.

Programs do not by themselves produce value because. if that were the case we would all run "programs " 24/7 on our computers and produce infinite value. Programs help other human beings produce value by putting in the man-hours in a more efficient manner than without the program

"I have reasons to believe X" (1) vs "I know the truth X" (2).

1 sounds less arrogant than 2 IMHO and is what I would expect a scientific minded person to say. That makes it way simpler to discuss the actual reasons to believe X, without necessarily going against the individual who believes X.
* > - Python developers don't seem to grasp the notion that installing a lot of python dependencies on a production server is not a very desirable thing. Doing that sucks, to put it mildly. *

I do find this pet particularly annoying, since this project sits uncomfortably between library and appliance.

In an appliance, yeah sure you can pick and lock down whatever dependencies you want. But as a library you need to be lean and hyper flexible in what’s an acceptable dependency.

Airflow invites you to put a lot of logic into what runs in their venv, which may mean your project’s dependencies must include all of theirs. Being in that state is rather unfun.
Yes, words matter. By intentionally using loaded words like “ruined” and “fearmongering”, I think you know exactly what message you’re trying to send.

> "If a culture artificially forces relationships to last by, say, heavily stigmatizing divorce, then of course that's going to override the "natural" course of events.

See the above argument, it changes nothing.
And by the way, divorce is more normalized than ever and divorce rates are falling in the developed world.

On the countrary, if lustful love is just a chemical process that eventually wears off, you're better off not divorcing.
If love was this astral magestic thing, then sure, divorce and pursue it.

People have this idea "yeah, but back then, there was no marriage and both men and women could just fuck arround".

Sure, some people did just like today, but back then, we lived in small groups, a coule hundred individuals, the opportunities to fuck around were not as great as today and there was no anonymity as today.

I've been 20 pumped with testosterone. Was it not for my religious education and moral sense, I would probably have slept with a lot more women.

I'm still the same biological organism, evolution did not intend one course or the other. I just find a lot of satisfaction now from family life.

> Does Redhat provide OS for 2GB RAM?

Actually yes. The standard is ten years from when the version is released, compared to Google's six. RHEL 7 (for example) was released in 2014 requiring 2GB, so people could indeed still have RHEL on such a system with two years of support left to go.

> RHEL is also frozen

Untrue. It doesn't move fast, to be sure, but it does get updated. Source: I used to be in the RHEL team.

> And BTW, are you willing to pay > $200 per year for chromeOS

I paid Google $1600 for the machine itself. The OS was bundled with the machine. It worked out to more than $200 per year. Please do some more research before cross-examining others - or, since the guidelines preclude that, just don't.
I think I agree. Trying to encode all of human written language in one standard is just too huge a scope, and then you shove all that complexity into every layer of computing except just being in the kind of documents that need that level of complexity.

It's definitely an extreme view[0], and I'm open to being argued out of it, but I really think we should use a different and much simpler encoding for the vast majority of things even if it doesn't perfectly reproduce the written text of the language. Writing systems encoded the language in a way fit for the medium of paper, and maybe we need to consider computers a different medium and adapt our language to them differently too.

Sure, polls like that categorizing voters in D/R/I and identifying D/R leanings for the I group can’t support (or contradict) the (non) existence of a large center because it doesn't tell you anything about where the I voters views are (between D/R? more extreme than the nearer of D/R? Way off to the side of axis between D and R?)

It's completely irrelevant to the question.
