Tinder is murder. I'm 39, male, tall, attractive, fit, educated, etc. in a small-midsized city and it's extremely, extremely, rare to get a match. Very occasionally (1-2x/year, in my experience) things progress to a date/hookup. If you really want to use apps, I'd suggest exploring others. I've had the most success (relatively) with Hinge.

I'd agree with sibling comment that meeting people out in the world can be a lot more fulfilling. You probably know within seconds if you're (physically) attracted to people in the world. Apps can be deceiving.

Keep in mind that in your list of five items, you can manage all of them. If you want it badly enough, you can change #2, and based on your comment I'd argue this (negative self-image) may be at the root here. #3 is not a problem if you don't let it be--plenty of Bic-ed bald guys with attractive mates out there. We are all doled the genes we must live with, but I bet many of the perceived issues with #1 and #3 will improve if you fix #2. None of the women I have dated have cared, at all, about the money I do or don't have (#5). I live in a backyard cottage. I drive a 20 year old car. And as for #4, I can tell you I had a no-strings-attached relationship with a 21 year old for several months last year. She worked at the farmers market, which is where we met. I don't mean to brag, but you need know that each of those items in your list really is in your control.

It's a grind and a slog and it's scary to have conversations with complete strangers. But if it's something you want, I tell you it is possible.

EDIT: I should also mention I'm no "natural". I was terrified of girls in high school, didn't kiss anyone until I halfway through college, was stuck in a loveless long-term relationship for a decade after college because I was sure no one else other than this one person would ever love me, etc. It took a lot of learning and healing to describe myself as I did in the first paragraph. If I could do it, you can do it.
"old people" really?

The Collective painted some crosswalks in LA.

The people comprising the government of the city of Los Angeles then spent time and money to remove the crosswalks:

https://twitter.com/CrosswalksLA/status/1527809785545928704

I'm hoping this causes a bit of a Streisand Effect, and thousands of people around the country (and the world!) decide to paint crosswalks themselves.

I'm going to paint some in my city soon!
Japan and America really are different, but any explanation you create to systematically explain the differences (communitarian vs individualist, Shinto vs Christianity, Plato vs Buddha, etc) will only be correct to a limited degree and miss many important edge cases.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why would ancient sculptors necessarily have to work fast?

I do not disagree with you. I’m in a happy relationship, but if I wasn’t I’d rather be single than settling with someone I wouldn’t find attractive just because they were “attainable”.
There’s something funny about becoming so wealthy that you decide to set a private generator up in your home (slowly poisoning you in the process). I would say tragic but I don’t know how much sympathy I have for titans of industry.

Reminds me of how rich Italians hated tomatoes cuz silverware interacted with the tomatoes meaning you were slowly ingesting metal (compared to poorer people with wooden utensils and the like)
I think you are sure you know where the confusion comes from. You admitted it in your last phrase?
Exactly, if the duration of these rights continue to escalate as they have with copyrights, performance rights and patents, then where will it end?

How long will it be before we're forced to pay to have an image or likeness of Plato or Aristotle on the cover of a book?

The identities of these people are already owned by the public -
hence the existing interest in them - and are thus already in the public domain.

As I see it, that vested interests can corrupt the democratic process by having laws introduced that would remove information that's already in the public domain for their own benefit is, of itself, antidemocratic.

Thank you for the clarification. I had hoped that would be understood from my “It reminds me of…,” but I guess it wasn’t.
Again, this is not what Tesla calls “full self driving.” No one driving a Tesla would ever be confused about this. The car will flip out if you take your hands off the wheel.

Some people are genuinely fairly new to HN. I only became aware of this place a few months ago in following the ACOUP blog.

But that's indistinguishable from astroturf accounts to an outsider so tell you what, I have a reddit account I've used for over a year and post regularly on. I've posted a link to your comment as a self-post on that account:

All of the current FUD in the southern states against CRT etc. seems like another attempt to take control of the historical narrative to once again start feeding lies to the young and mint a new generation of unquestioning voters that believe in a false history.
This is insanely eerie. Great find.
Yes, absolutely acknowledge it's a bit ad-hommy. But, the question stands: "the Russians diddit" had to be seen in the context we're in. Remember, a shitload of buuut Chyna is washup of US domestic politics and not actually about Covid.

Anyone can take a look and make the call is "do the research restated" btw. That's a Q call. Maybe that's ad hommy too? All getting very meta.
IME the xp-for-loot system works really well for a very particular type of game, a type largely ignored by mainstream TTRPG media. One much pulpier and closer to the classic sword-and-sorcery source material like that written by Fritz Lieber. I use it in my games and really like it - it was a huge shift in the feel of my games, and I also think it leads to a game that fits more neatly with my own preferences for fantasy games (I love the aforementioned sword and sorcery materials.)

The author here seems to be someone still interested in the sort of narrative game evangelized by Wizards Of The Coast and popular D&D media like Critical role, which XP for gold would be a bit of an odd match for.

Additionally, one of the problems they encountered (players looting too much and leveling too fast) was of their own making, when they reduced the leveling thresholds by a factor of 10. Players won't worry about looting mundane objects worth 10gp if they know they need to get 6000 to level up - that effort is better spent on finding bigger hauls of treasure.

People who truly care are few and far between in the grand scheme of things. You care and that is something wonderful. Don’t lose that. You seem to be one of the good ones.

Seems like part of the challenge you face is that you have a ‘values’ conflict with how the majority of the world operates. You call it the 10% brokenness which may translate to a value of competence or responsibility or something else, but it’s worth figuring it out. You want to figure it out because knowing this will help you reflect on each work day and answer the questions of:
‘did I live a day in accordance with my value’
‘did I do things that contributed to strengthening that value’
‘did I increase the impact of this value on the world around me’.

If you feel bad about the broken world it helps to be very cognizant daily about what is in your circle of control and what isn’t. Most grand frustration comes from trying to control something that is outside of our circle of control today. If you combine these two things, you may find a life’s calling where you try to over time increase what is in your circle of control related to correcting this 10% brokenness.

Three things to remember:

1) You are not alone in this feeling. Others of us see it too.
2) Your frustration is actually the physical manifestation of a call to action…you just need a different action. Right now it seems like the action is thinking more about this which isn’t a helpful loop for you. How can you channel this?
3) Focus on the current situation, not the long dark decline of all the things. Thinking too far out can psyche put any human. A huge part of what they call perseverance is actually presence

Additional tactical things that help:

1) Find collaborators and employers who share this value you have. Having that is huge for daily well being. Find people that believe what you believe and are willing to work toward that

2) Read Rest by Alex Pang and implement the active rests he describes to get your mind to switch off of this values conflict. Ironically, it will make you better at your craft.
I took a look at code. This is an edge case.

He does use users contact lists without clear disclosure. He uses their contact list to retrieve DOMAIN favicons. That's better than systems retrieving gravatars or similar which I thought this was.

My guess is still technically a violation (using contact list to generate a bunch of HTTP requests). For some folks this could be sensitive maybe (if contact list has some onlyfans.com "friends" on it and your corp DNS / web tracking thing starts flagging it for the weekly report).

But not as bad as I feared. That said, the whole, I refuse to change x is going to fall flat with google who probably don't care about nuance that much.

I'm not an archaeologist and I'm having difficulty looking up "uselife" online. What does it mean?

Is it jargon for "the duration of its use by humans?"

In the above quote that's how I read it: "When Göbekli Tepe was no longer used by humans, the megalithic enclosures were refilled systematically." Correct?

But in that case it seems like the refilling determines EOL and not the other way around. What am I missing?
Hum... If you are saying that people shouldn't willingly depend on social assistance, I don't think you will find anybody to disagree with.

If you are saying that people should be free from government's whims, congratulations, you've just discovered Democracy. Anyway, if your government has whims, the security of your home, food and livelihood is entirely dependent on them. It doesn't matter if you depend on social assistance.
Expenses are the "loss" portion of "profit and loss." That is 50% of the concept of accounting, making it as direct as it gets. Please stop this prolonged line of trolling.
They presented a false dichotomy though. With no evidence yet that this one has ability for enhanced spread, both alternatives they gave imply that it does.

Yeah, but by that logic the whole US was wrong for rebelling against England.
You're right, this definitely wins. I'm so sorry for you :)

This one made me laugh:

> - Idera Inc has an anagram: Acridine. Here are some facts about Acridine:

> ○ It's a colorless (and probably soulless) solid obtained by dousing a foul smelling compound (coal tar) in a destructive liquid (sulfuric acid)

> ○ Both it and its homologues are weakly basic

> ○ Acridine is a skin irritant
Right, all the most valuable tech companies in the world have hiring practices that are "obviously wrong." I'm not saying they got so valuable because they're using this style of interview, but if it were so incredibly ineffective, how would they have become so successful?
Fair to be skeptical, but "native Americans" represented a lot of people segregated by geography and culture.

The idea that a small group of them might have found something useful, which is at least backed up by some historical medical anecdote, is not on its surface implausible.

not sure where people live, but here in High Cost of Living place, I see more than a few large houses, in the hills, in bad repair, with many vehicles that have blue handicap tags that never move. My outside guess is that someone with a family history of owning property, got a house long, long ago, and rode out three or four decades of outrageous housing price increases while being careful with all the paperwork. Is this common? no. but I tell you with evidence of my own eyes, in more than a few cases, someone has a kind of stability and wealth that healthy, working people just cant seem to ever get here.

The classic book on this is "Electrical Manufacturers 1875-1900".[1] Published by the Harvard Business School, it has Edison's business plan for the Pearl Street station. As I recall, the plan claimed the investment would be paid back in 18 months. It took twice that long.

It was very much a startup. Then came consolidation and mergers, resulting in General Electric.

Samo Burja has an excellent essay about why civilization is older than we think

https://palladiummag.com/2021/05/17/why-civilization-is-olde...

Some interesting quotes:

> When we find remains of beavers, we assume they built beaver dams, even if we don’t immediately find remnants of such dams.
> [...]
> When we find Homo sapiens skeletons, however, we instead imagine the people naked, feasting on berries, without shelter, and without social differentiation.
This was predicted back in the early 2010s when the top shippers were trying to figure out market growth options. They said themselves that building the next generation of super cargo ships was risky and that it depended on the "treadmill" continuing and everything working out "just so". You can find business/trade articles about this with some searches.

So it appears this is the result.
This is really impressive and not just the code. I like the UI, general site layout, and the fact that I don't have to weed through a lot fluff just to see what it is and how it works. Good work!
While it discusses slavery, the first thing mentioned is constitutional obligations.

The reality, is the south didn’t feel it was being represented. It felt it would be better on its own (regardless of the slave issue, there’s a whole mess there).

The north, decided it wasn’t going to let the south go its own way. That’s why the south calls it “the war of northern aggression”. (I say this from their perspective) First the north didn’t respect property rights, then it actively attempted to destroy the south’s economy (through tariffs, etc), then it invaded, murdered and seized its wealth and land.

Interesting.

Can folks killed by these efforts sue the Crosswalk Collective?

I think if you are going to do things like this you probably should also take the liability costs as well.
Maybe some other numbers are more relevant? This blog post from April 2022 mentions 1000+ services:

https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/continuous-delivery-at-airbnb-6ac042bc7876

And this video from May 2017 mentions 1B daily events (for whatever they define as an event):

https://youtu.be/70luTZU-D3E?t=102

It wouldn't surprise me if they're storing calls between microservices as "events" and they're likely logging a lot of both user data and internal services data, but that's purely a guess.
as someone who has dated a 20 year old (I was in my early 30's at the time) and met many others her age through social situations... most 20 year olds are just kids still, something I felt at the time and moreso these days... my tastes though really heavily lean towards maturity, it was a weird coincidence we even got into a relationship

Additionally: not coupled to a fixed train connection, but no seat reservation either. Could also use the Metronome from Hamburg to Bremen/Hannover/Uelzen, and go to Dortmund/Duisburg/Düsseldorf/Cologne/Bonn/Aachen via Münster/Osnabrück in the morning, using whichever REs are available. And doing whatever there. Though I'd be wary of the way back during the evenings, then you could be stranded for a few hours in the middle of nowhere. I remember a trip like this, initially from Dortmund to Berlin, starting around 23:00, having to switch in Hannover. Would have been stranded in Stendal around 02:30 to something like 4:30 or 5:00. Uncool.
Just made it to Hamburg instead :-)

Anyway, it remains to be seen how that develops. I'm expecting overload. Especially in times of Covid, I'd be (still) wary to use it.

Reagan threw his full support behind “amnesty” in the 80s.

Bush went out of his way to not let 9/11 be an excuse to target Muslim Americans.

McCain shut down one of his supporters cold when they tried to bring up the conspiracy that Obama was “a secret Muslim trying to bring Sharia Law to the US” and asked him to do his eulogy.

But on the other hand, even Obama didn’t support gay marriage at first.
Yes! I am energized by this as a pedestrian advocate. Love the initiative. I live in one of the most pedestrian-friendly cities in the country (Boston) and still have issues in my very walkable neighborhood getting across one of its busiest streets. Thankfully the city is actually taking steps to address [1] but if they weren’t I would grab my paint roller and follow this guide.

> Keep in mind your X1 was at least twice the price of this thing (honestly I feel they are overpriced, Asus do literally the same thing for $1k less)

You cannot look at Lenovo sticker price. My conspiracy theory is it exists for the same reason Azure sticker price does: to give procurement managers something to do. My understanding is almost nobody pays sticker on either.

I don't.

I was replying to someone who was dismissing non "medicine"

Phenylephrine is useless, but ephedrine and pseudo are not, derived from a non "medicine."
"Society" is not some autonomous external being that is free to do how it pleases. It is composed of individuals making decisions. If the decisions of the individuals are coerced, then the society's aggregate behavior is coerced.

Even if you could make that argument that coerced individual decisions could result in non-coerced societal decisions, you need to consider the entire implication: society is being "charitable" to itself, which isn't charity, it's selfishness. Charity is giving to others. So your point is nonsensical on multiple levels.

Although this research is probably done in good faith, it's going to (renewably) fuel all the alarmist environmentalists that don't understand the first thing about mining and resources. We cannot live in a closed system, nothing can, and we will perish if we go around stopping all industrial progress in the name of an unachievable circular economy ideal. Some resources are scarce and limited as far as we know and with current extraction costa, but the solution is not to stop using them. We use them for a reason. Imagine if the industrial revolution never happened because they were concerned that in 200 years the sea level would rise 3 meters and damage their crops. In a way, this is where we are.
There is a lot of earth crust and a lot of minerals around. Luckily, by the time we run out we'll have already colonized most of the solar system.

Hmmm, wouldn't not making such important information public actually risk the lives of more people? I think more information is always good than less information. Plus straight people also engage in anal sex so it's not really exclusive.
I think the apps don't have to explicitly support that specific API, they just have to target a modern Android version. Google technically doesn't have that restriction, but nevertheless imposes the same restriction on the Play store.

(Not saying it's appropriate to impose the "devs must update apps for each Android version" requirement this way.)
They are using as much memory as they can because it is available. Chrome is notorious for this. That is not a valid gauge for how much memory is necessary or even useful.
Well, over here in Oz, all roads have speed limits which Tesla knows about and displays. Will have to try myself and will report. Although I'm fairly sure you're confusing engaging AP when under the speed limit at which point it will set it to the speed limit, minus or plus the amount you configure in the settings. So if you configured it to be +5 mph of the speed limit, that's what it gets set to. But if you were already driving at 30mph over the speed limit and engage AP, it will keep your speed. And it makes sense, in case it has incorrectly determined the speed limit, it won't cause safety issue by driving too slowly.
