> Does "dating" mean "late-stage worried-about-dying-alone parents-nagging-me dating"? Or does it mean "screw around and go where the wind takes me?". Is the context online or offline?

Screw around part, before the predisposed expected monogamy bit usually called boyfriend/girlfriend. Holds for both.

> I think "looks win" accurately describes the way many women select men online for many of their dating years

This cannot be true. Just algorithmically, they have a rating for you, so women cannot pick men outside their rating regardless of their preferences. (I don't agree it would hold if they could pick any man, but its a moot question because they simply can't)

> The "20% of the men get 80% of the women" works in short term dating,

It doesn't. That fact comes from a horrible game of telephone, from a survey ran in a blog over a decade ago. The attempts to make an intellectual sounding argument for redpilling started early with comments about the Paretto principle. But thats not what the data showed at all.

> From 100 men and 100 women, 20 men would pair with 20 women, and you have 80 men and 80 women left over.

In the uk less than 50% of people are single in their 20s which is the heaviest user base of online dating sites.

> And women know that a man can have a trait that's useless in the bedroom but very useful when raising a child.

The idea that women go on sexual rampages after tall chiselled bodied men in their 20 and find a chubby bald rich 40 year old to settle after they are done is unsupported by data, research and anything outside of 4chan greentext stories. Which is where the idea started and should have died.

> It's also hard to say what "4th most important" means.

Women are asked to name what is important in a relationship, what is a dealbreaker, etc And looks hardly come first. Funnily enough in men appearance is quite an important metric early but goes down with time. Women usually say "stable income" as one of the most important things, many times above wealth (specially inherited many women prefer a smaller stable income over a one time larger paycheck).

> but just about anything can be a dealbreaker.

Sure, but thats on the extremes. Most humans fall in a bell curve, and 80% of them are not being tossed away over some perceived lack of top percentagedness.

> I think you're correct in saying the gender inequity isn't so terrible at the end of the day.

And at the start of the day.

> I predict if you surveyed both genders about whether they get what they really want out of online dating, they'd largely say no.

at the end of the day, its a company, they are there to make money not make you happy. Their product is access to women, their business model exploiting men loneliness.

> that doesn't mean the average woman enjoys using Tinder much.

They don't, which is why there are few women and why most feautures are designed either to make money or to retain women and nothing else. Those are the two metrics tinder checks.
Your questions are very US-centric. What if the company does not even have presence in your country?

> I lose out on so much now as a parent because I have adulting to do. When I was in high school what did I have to do with my time? Not much.

Interesting--I feel the exact opposite: You have much more free time as an adult than you do in high school (or college age). When I was < 22 years old, a huge part of my life was in school, studying, cramming for tests, doing extra-curriculars, applying to colleges. Then once in college, it was 18 credits a year worth of classes, labs, the whole nine yards. Absolutely everything I did was scheduled and accounted for. Class at this time, sports practice at that time, music lessons here, club meetings there, and so on. Ain't no way I had time to raise a kid! Once I became an adult, I had what? Work and maybe set aside some time for bills/chores, but otherwise I needed to get a damn hobby in order to not go insane!

As my (tiger-ish) parents would have put it: If you're bored in High School, you're not spending enough time studying.

On Google & the web, I am reminded of this tweet: https://twitter.com/justinschuh/status/1421141097418350594

"Google hasn't been a perfect ally to the Web, but Google's incentives do align far better than Apple's ongoing opposition.

Apple can be ruthless because the Web is a competing platform for them—versus Google's situation where the Web is critical to revenue. Both companies are just acting in their own business interests (even if Google's interests happen to align with what I view as "good").

That's why Safari spent a decade Grover Norquisting the Web. No one told them to—and I'd bet most of them even believe they're saving the Web. But Apple's incentives have long been against the Web, and that won't change unless the incentives change.

Of course, even if Google's incentives are more aligned, they're… messy… and certainly not perfect. So, it is smart to maintain informed suspicion of Google's influence over the Web. That stated, I do see Chromium itself as a very strong hedge."

I so recognize that behavior, and in our family it has carried on into the boomer generation, my parents and in-laws.

Half the food in their house is expired. They have this lifelong habit of needlessly stocking lots of food as well as opening a food package and then not finishing it for way too long.

Our parents never experienced a famine yet did experience a different culture of food logistics. Very large families (my mother has 8 siblings) so you need lots of food. Food being more seasonally available only, so stock up. Older houses having deep cold cellars to store food, whilst modern houses don't tend to have that, but they don't unlearn the behavior.

Yes, I too have found lots of food expired by years. The most shocking thing is that quite a lot of it looks exactly like it was bought including a salad with an egg on top of it. When you slice a freshly boiled egg and put it at room temperature, it turns dark in an hour. This egg is 8 years old and looks brand new.

No, lots of things are insignificant. My point is really that few are interested in doing anything at all except consume and say that other uses should be cut back before their own.

"... ObamaCare"

That tells you all you need to know about masonic's partisanship. The bill was in Congress for 9 months before being signed into law. It was modeled after Massachusetts's law which was modeled after alternative models proposed in the 90s to then first lady Hillary Clinton's universal healthcare.

I definitely agree that Democrats are sleeping on their laurels when it comes to policy, but they do not have the votes to do much of anything, partially because their constituencies are disadvantaged, partially because they have many more internal conflicts than Republicans do at the moment.

But there is only one group in recent history that has tried ANYTHING to make healthcare more accessible and cheaper, and it was the 111th Congress in which Democrats had slim majorities.
Wonder how emissions/seat/km on representative routes differs from the larger planes?

Given that landing and takeoff is particularly bad for emissions if you're avoiding a change of planes I guess that might be a win ? Not as big a win as not flying but better ...

That's a tactic used where immobilising makes a kill attack easier.

The two articles you linked to show that Ukraine set a minimum 30% quota for songs to be played in Ukrainian, and that people should be greeted in Ukrainian by default and switch languages if asked. Neither of which backs up your outrageous claims.
I myself would ealk or bike to the train. My tolerance for walking is 2.5 miles each way and I've been fortunate to have spent all but about 9 months of my career like that. So many can't or don't, though.
I don't recall the United States and Ukraine signing a mutual defense pact, or a treaty that designates the United States as the guarantor of Ukrainian independence. The former position you are advocating for literally amounts to "the United States is the Global Empire, and all changes in state arrangements must be approved by Her". That's fine, but just make that your argument. Trying to morally guilt trip people is pointless because there's at least a dozen other conflicts around the world right now where you can make the same argument, about some country's sovereignty being violated.

>This is not only about Ukraine, this is about the whole Eastern Europe, and literally about post WW2 order that you seem to be enjoying the fruits of, if only by hanging out on Hacker News.

I'm not sure what purpose you think this sentence serves. If your argument is, again, the United States is the Global Imperial Power and, because I post on HN, I am balking in my responsibility to sufficiently support this Empire, then got it. I'll make sure to "do better".

Esri is becoming like the Microsoft Office/SharePoint/Teams/Power ecosystem. Many of the individual products are of limited quality and better alternatives exist. But taken together they have network effects and are easier for corporations to manage and justify.

The open solution is QGIS and PostGIS. They are ridiculously capable. But I think the next battleground is actually access to data rather than the software. Esri have been building an open data repository that is becoming favoured by a lot of government organisations. They stream data to esri users and make people reliant on the cloud service. And add annoying intermediate steps for people wanting raw data suitable for loading into a real database.

Regardless of missile cost, the hard part is getting an accurate targeting track and then data linking that back to a launcher.

Noting that we agree that the actual stats would disagree about the hypothesis.

If I might take the liberty of riffing off your model, let's take it as "looking at the the sexual encounters that occurred over a duration on the scale of months, you can select a certain subset (~80%) of women who will have had sexual relationships exclusively with a certain subset (~20%) of men." I'd put that version down as falling into my first category of obviously false. I.e. sexual relationships don't form a disjoint graph, even excluding the edges from that 20% of men to the nonselected 20% of women. I don't think it's inherently incoherent, just wrong.

We can weaken it to "Over some duration on the scale of months, you can select some relatively small subset of men (~20%) who will have been the partners in a disproportionate number (~80%) of sexual relationships." This is likely and plausible, but it's likely and plausible that you could apply that same procedure to women to get a similarly surprising pair of numbers, because of how social graphs work, i.e. the bulk of a measure is driven by the extremes of the distribution. It's interesting, but it doesn't tell us much about the differences in how heterosexual men and women pair.

I'd read your proposed model as stronger than the second version and perhaps a bit weaker than the first. Maybe modifying the first model by adding something like "Half of those selected 80% of women will also have formed a single edge with the nonselected 80% of men." I think this is a viable way to recover it into something more plausible, but in doing so we've the changed the actual claim to something like "you can select a certain subset (~80%) of women who will have had sexual relationships exclusively with a certain subset (~40%) of men." That's a much weaker and less shocking claim than the original, and I wouldn't be surprised if you could again apply that same procedure to women and get similar numbers out of it.

I think we can make statements about the structure of the sexual relationship graph that point to differences in how men and women form sexual pairs, but those aren't as easily understandable. "The distribution of sexual encounters among men have a Gini coefficient of 0.654, while among women it's 0.562" doesn't really make for a punchy soundbite.
The thing is, almost all postdocs start on J1 visas, not H1b. Most schools hold out the possibility of moving you over to an H1b as an incentive after a few years. It's also complicated by many J1s come with the rider that they must return to their home country for two years and cannot shift to an H1b. There is a pathway to apply for a waiver from the State Department, but I'm told these days the process takes about 18 months to get the waiver - BEFORE you can be eligible to apply for an H1b.
And how much do you think artists get paid?
> The professor also only hired visa applicants to have extra leverage over them.

For any postdoc that thinks the university has leverage for this reason, if you are able to get a H1B, you can switch employers easily. You are not stuck at whichever company sponsored you.
VMs are also full of side channels. Depending on how much isolation is a concern, you need to own the host.

I don't trust VMs particularly more than containers in this respect: Containers have a lot of attack surface, but VMs also have a lot of complicated in the code in the kernel, in addition to having complicated emulated device drivers and a large silicon-based attack surface.
Bing gets the credit, but much of the data is from OSM.
In the good old days we used to call this “being slighted”. We’d remember those slights and not interact with the people who slighted us often in the past.

Labelling the “science” as “dubious” is basically slighting the people attempting to track these slights at something other than a personal level.

Just because the stories you hear don’t jive with your take on the zeitgeist doesn’t mean the stories are wrong. It could just be that you aren’t the type of person that gets slighted often simply for existing the way you are.

On one hand there’s valid criticism of collection techniques, on the other there’s dismissing the entire proposition that slighting is a thing that happens because you don’t like the way the collection is done.

A better critique would look at ways to improve data collection, but that requires quantifying the myriad ways we slight each other. How to write that all down?
This is "saying the quiet part out loud" in academia. For engineering undergrad, your in-state university (ABET accredited) will usually be your best cost/benefit option (unless you're going to MIT, Stanford, or, for CS only, CMU). For grad school, I believe you'd want to think very carefully about the opportunity cost (and what you want your PhD for) before going anywhere outside of the top 20 (or even top 15) schools in your program. For a postdoc, where your opportunity cost is even higher, I think you need to be in the top 10 (or top 5) for it to be worth it.

There's no reason to do a postdoc at any school outside of the top 10 in your field unless, as you point out, you're working for an exceptionally well-regarded PI who is particularly going to be able to move your career in your desired path.

The people who do postdocs at these institutions are usually foreign, for whom a US postdoc is gold. Come to think of it, I can't recall ever interacting with a university postdoc who was a US citizen -- I've only worked for one "PI-generating PI", who happens to not like hiring postdocs.
The result of the invasion does seem to be a huge increase in anti-Russian language and anti-Russian "ethnicity" feeling among Ukrainian-speakers though. Which was pretty minimal before. Which is pretty terrible. I'm not saying it was a cause or justification of the invasion. I'm saying things are getting worse. As they usually do as a result of war. It's horrible.
This is indeed progress but as I understand the situation, it is progress in the shape of taking another step on the ladder but only to realize it looks like it was the final step, after having searched for billions of dollars during decades.

Maybe, scary thought, the theory of general relativity and the standard model is pretty much entirely self-contained and cannot per their design extend to encompass the quantum world?

Other theories maybe can, but then we need to look at even what we have from a completely different angle?

Like how we have colors. By watching a rainbow we can see them all. There can be nothing more. Until you realize they are mere wavelengths in the optical spectrum and there is so much more. But that is a quantum leap in viewing things. However, maybe this is what is needed?

Maybe this is just philosophical garbage though. :D
