I've been using Hinge for the past year and half with a good bit of success, I can regularly go on 1-3 dates per week and have managed to keep that consistency pretty much all year.

IMO success comes down to 3 key things: profile, conversation and managing expectations.

First your profile, take high quality photos and weave in a story about your life in there. Guys think that it's the shirtless 6 pack that will get dates and while that's true, what I found is you have to build an "attractive lifestyle" through your profile. All my photos are of me doing things, on boats, outside, etc and all my prompts are things like "We should go kayaking together" and stories about travel. It's not one thing on my profile, it's the entire thing that builds a persona of a person that likes going outside alot and traveling, women find that very attractive in my experience.

Second is the conversation. You have to get good at actually "closing" a girl on a first date. There's a ton of "science" that guys will spew but it comes down to practice. The first couple of girls you talk to you will probably fuck it up, keep going and you will get better. My strategy here is to talk "lifestyle", where are you traveling, what shows have you seen, and NEVER EVER EVER BRING UP SEX.

Finally it's managing expectations. Most of these girls "fall through" not at the matching/conversation stage, but after the first couple of dates. Most of the time it's not something either person did, rather us realizing that we are just not right for each other. At this stage it's very easy to get bitter, the key is to keep going and not get bitter, and understand that if you're going to be playing the "online dating game", you're going to get a shit load of rejections.

At this point I do not even consider the "1st date" to be a real "1st date", rather I consider it to be a magic "0 date" that only applies to online dating. Usually on a first day you've already had one interaction with that person to figure out that they are worth going out with; however, with online dating you don't have that. So I consider the first time we meet to be more of a screener date, don't expect to go home with the girl, don't even expect a kiss, just make sure you like them and think if you would like to see them again. For these dates I usually go to a coffee shop mid-day, if it goes well we can schedule a longer dinner/activity date, but if it goes off the rails you can cordially end the date in about 15 minutes.
Good catch.

They use weasel words

"Dartmouth is now removing the loan requirement for undergraduates from families with annual income of more than $125,000 who receive need-based financial aid."

Most students coming from families earning 125k+ won't actually qualify for any aid.

The entire financial aid system is broken. Have a domestic violence situation at home, so your parents don't want to fill your FASA out, no aid for you !

Still live with your supportive parents at 24, you automatically get the max amount.

If I ran the world, I would give everyone aid for up to 6 years, and get rid of affirmative action completely.

I'd argue the vast vast majority of students are better served going to a community college first. Figure out if college is even something you want to do , and if it is, get yourself a part-time job or better yet a full-time one so you understand how to manage money.
Isn't this an expected outcome of the real estate squeeze? I read once women don't typically have children unless circumstances are right and they aren't for most of us regular folk. Of course there is a difference between making children and sex but it's not a huge jump.
Someone took both the red and blue pill.
It would be awesome if SOC2 wasn't a joke and you could expect customers to accept that instead of answering endless superficial questionnaires. Then you could charge $5000 per questionnaire if they still really wanted it.
That works for a website, but doesn’t work for all outage types with a service like zoom. If the website/api is responding, but you can’t create new calls, for example, the outage wouldn’t be detected.
I feel that this code is its own counter-example.
As others have said, this is a clear and concise write up of the incident. That is underlined even more when you take into account how quickly they published this. I have seen some companies take weeks or even months to publish an analysis that is half as good as this.

Not trying to take the light away from the outage, the outage was bad. But the relative quickness to recovery is pretty impressive, in my opinion. Sounds like they could have recovered even quicker if not for a bit of toe stepping that happened.

>> I expect pretty much every company to act in a benevolent way when they're young and still in need to establish a good public image, but as soon as their business allows them, they become evil, I mean not in a superhero comic baddie way ("muhaha! I'll conquer the world"), but rather in a very cold "we don't need to be nice anymore" way.

I don't believe it's "as soon as their business allows them", but as soon as the owners decide they don't care. You can have a company that runs at low margins and does some good if that's what the founder wanted. The problem is that the founder will eventually die, and someone else will own the company. That could be due to going public, taking on other private investors, or just leaving the company to family. New owners are so often driven by money that they will abandon being nice or supporting a cause.

Lets all follow Mark Cuban's pharmacy company as an example. He's offering drugs at a 15 percent markup. Great cause - making meds affordable to people. It will eventually be co-opted by greed, but lets see how long it takes and who actually gets greedy.
There are plausible reasons on both sides.

One side says that, if X% of black students are suspended in a given period, compared with Y% of all students, and if X>Y, then this is prima facie evidence of systemic racism, which must be corrected.

The other side says that standards of behaviour are objective and, more importantly, not suspending disruptive students harms all other students, including black students.
Specifically the avoirdupois pound is used in the United States, which is 0.45359237 kg, except if you weighting precious metals, then sometimes the troy pound is used, which is 0.3732417216 kg.
I came here to make the same point you did. The originals are superior, largely because their open design will remain legible after significant deterioration. The slight increase in obviousness of the redesign is not worth the loss in legibility. I still don’t know what most of the new symbols are supposed to mean.

Also, I missed a link to a legend for the original design, for which the author’s animated version does not compensate.
That a discussion of diminishing sexuality led to a discussion of podcasts tells us everything we need to know.

I've noticed most of those types of groups essentially use self-improvement as the vector to ship the hate message. Which is pretty classic cult behaviour in the end: build a support network, isolate people from other networks (by making them evangelists for you) and then threaten to cut them off if they don't go long with the rest of the message.
We've also forgotten what sex is for in a relationship, doubtless because it is inconvenient when stacked against all of our favorite soma.

Watching most people continue to be addicted to systems that take more than they give (social media) is difficult. And it affects the people around them deeply, too. It doesn't happen in a vacuum; the emotional un-presence is palpable. It is so common it feels very difficult to bring up.
My personal stats:

26 filed.

12 open and still relevant

1 that became irrelevant without ever being fixed (an iOS 7 specific problem).

5 fixed bugs in vim bindings in Xcode.

4 clang/libc++ bugs fixed upstream which eventually got pulled into the Xcode version.

4 other bug fixed

Reporting vim binding issues during the Xcode 13 beta was a good use of time, but outside of those I'm 4/21 for reporting something to feedback assistant/radar doing anything.
I don’t have a sense of the ‘normal’; it might vary by field.

For example, for COVID vaccines, we’re being inundated with observational data - often informal, sometimes in reviewed studies - long after initial approval RCTs.
The update lag has nothing to do with technical abilities. It's about things like marketing and contractual SLAs.

If acknowledging downtime causes you to violate an SLA and pay a bunch of penalties then you don't want some automated script to trigger it.

Often -- yes. Always -- no.

For example let's try changing/fixing sampling rate of a dataset (.resample() in Pandas).

Or something like .cumsum() -- easy with SQL windowing functions, but man they are cumbersome.

Or quickly store the result in .parquet.

But all the above doesn't matter, because I feel like 99% of Pandas work involves quickly drawing charts on the data look at it or show to teammates.
Yep, shipped by rail, so that jobs were more evenly distributed, and thus cost twice as much, worked half as well, and killed way more people
I don't follow your single dots argument? There's no right or left, one dot = low? Plus, as the OP says, irons use the exact same dot count, so nothing else is needed.
It was glaringly obvious this launch had secret stuff on it.

Like a 2 year old trying to be sneaky while stealing cookies from the kitchen.

The one announced payload is rather lightweight. A Falcon 9 carrying so little weight will have plenty of reserve thrust to return to landing zone. The fact that they sent out the drone ship for this launch lets on that there was significantly more weight on board.

The second stage had a series of 3 burns announced. Basically it would raise its orbit to a certain intermediate height, sit there for a short time, and then raise itself all the way to the correct deploy height for the publicly acknowledged payload.

Unlike most SpaceX launches, there was no live video from the second stage in flight. They only do this when flying classified payloads. But this launch we suddenly got back second stage views after raising past the intermediate orbit.

All this is highly unusual so of course everyone is going to point their equipment at that orbital plane to try to find what got left there.
Speaking of bleach though - when was the last time anyone here used bleach while washing clothes? I have never in my entire life done so.
That's the power of trust actually. You don't need to analyze every corner case.

It happens in bits. You buy the phone that isn't locked up by apple from your carrier. It comes with a ton of crapware and bloatware on it, maybe some backdoors built in. All totally legal per the FTC because buried in some fine print on a 50 page clickthrough license on some setup screen they say they are allowed to do this.

Or, you buy the apple phone. Totally locked up, your phone company can't install their "user experience" enhancers (ie, to track and sell your data to marketers). And yes, before you tell me how regulated comcast and the TV companies are and how they would NEVER do this, I've got a bridge to sell you.

And yes, surveys DO show that people don't actually trust their politicians. You might think they are amazing, more power to you. But this is data backed to a large degree these days, more trust / brand value in Apple then Dem party or republican party for example. 98% of folks don't think politicians will do what's right almost always. NPR did a piece on this, trust in govt is at historic lows.

So we are seeing some substitution effects and for good reason. The policing of the internet at large is pretty horrible, so walled gardens start looking more appealing.
Self-improvement definitely isn't at odds with pursuing healthy relationships with the opposite sex. But from what I gathered MGTOW is(was?) simply a movement that wanted to improve their lives by being comfortable without being in a relationship for various reasons.

I never got a misogynistic vibe from them. But it's literally years ago I had read about them. They could very well have gone the Incel route over time. Which was a non-toxic movement in the beginning as well.
My US market washing machine has settings for "hot", "warm", and "cold", but if there's a way to set temperature to a number, it is not intuitive and I am not aware of it (it may exist this is a 'digital' machine!). If it did have a way to set a wash temp to an arbitrary number, it would presumably be in F not C!

I think this is typical for US washing machines?

Do (eg) European washing machines instead typically have you set wash temp to an arbitrary number of °C?
For public facing endpoints or front ends, yes. For complex systems where you’d need sensors inside (AWS, GCP, anything IaaS or PaaS, etc), no.

Somewhat but not entirely similar to BGP looking glass systems.
> you can revert such "charge" transactions ("incasso") up to 13 months after they happen.

You probably need a reason to revert them?
Don't let the over-reporting of scary things throw off your actual perception of risk.
Ooo! that is cool. The UX took a second to get used to, but it meets my needs.

Does this work with larger datasets (10gb+)? Does it upload the data to a server?

This audience is probably a little more used to measuring things like ram in gigabytes and storage in tera/petabytes. It’s nice to be reminded that not all our devices are like that but high level languages are still possible
It hardly matters, Apple’s worldwide market share is tiny.
Got a link to DisplayCheck? I'm not finding what I think should be correct.
There's normal operating procedure and sign offs and automation etc. etc. and then there's "we've lost contact with these data centers and normal procedures don't work we need to break glass and use the secondary channels". In that situation you are in an emergency without normal visibility.
Apple’s monopolies and monopolies are the natural “be careful of what you wish for” of libertarianism. Without regulation and government action monopolies are a guarantee. (And yes with regulation they are possible but can be broken up with enough pressure)
I’ve come across a lot of websites that respond to health checks just fine. Because the page health check doesn’t hit the database or other services.
A properly decentralized project has multiple implementations, and a formal process for changing the consensus model. This requires the equivalent of an RFC (Request for Comments, or Bitcoin Improvement Proposal in case of Bitcoin) to be written, motivating and detailing the changes, followed by months long discussion to see if there is overwhelming support for, and few downsides to, the changes. Meanwhile, the changes need to be implemented on all existing clients with extensive documentation and tests and be exercised on test-nets to see if all goes well. Finally, a supermajority of miners as well as economic nodes (such as exchanges) need to be convinced the changes are for the better, and then an activation can be planned on main-net that could take several more months to lock in first.
Chains where this process can be bypassed or severely shortened don't deserve to be called decentralized.

Well you can't really get laid if you spend day and night playing video games and binge watching series.

Every time I broke up I was mildly welcoming some time for myself but never managed to be single more than a handful of weeks. And I don't consider myself particularly more attractive/interesting than everybody out there.
I guess one could argue it isn't an outage since it only seems to have affected a subset of users. I got on a zoom call when this issue started and we had 3 of the 4 participants. Only one couldn't connect due to the issue.

But I do agree they should be able to monitor things better and show some sort of update on their status page as soon as possible.
Not the best example as there's likely a dozen service someone could switch to. People choose Zoom mostly because they like it, not by lack of choice.
I think the problem might be less on the technical and more on the business-side of things.

Status pages that raise customers confidence in your service are good from a
marketing perspective.

Automatically publishing uptime data without human review might be bad from a marketing perspective, if you don't trust the engineering department to actually deliver or if your service depends on too many external dependencies.
Yeah the one thing I've purchased on their recommendation that I'm not satisfied with is headphones.
> modern, patched microcode processors

This makes me wonder how many security holes CPUs have which have been buried into secrecy by the manufacturers.
Another thing to consider: It might just be, that sex being more of an taboo (without the internet being there to inform yourself!) made it more interesting.

Sex is beautiful, but I would always prefer a meaningful human relationship with common interests and good communications without sex over an sex-filled relationship without the rest. Or to put it simply: Love without sex is greater than sex without love. Prefarably both, but it is a thing two people need to want : )
> violate an SLA and pay a bunch of penalties

The SLA would not depend on what the status page reported, but the actual downtime. If the script malfunctioned, you wouldn't need to pay out because it wasn't actual downtime contractually - and if it was actual downtime, I guess it makes it harder to squeeze around but that's only if someone is carefully taking legally admissible evidence from the first minute the status page reports (which screenshots alone don't always meet).
> because I hadn't written a letter starting my intention not to renew by 90 days of the time of an automatic roll over.

No, it's because you signed a contract (scammy or not) and didn't follow its terms. You wouldn't want someone to do that to a service you provide.
SQL does not exactly implement relational algebra in its pure form.

SQL implements a kind of set theory with relational elements and a bunch of practical features like pivots, window functions etc.

Pandas does the same. Most data frame libraries like dplyr etc. implement a common set of useful constructs. There’s not much difference in expressiveness. LINQ Is another language around manipulating sets that was designed with the help of category theory, and it arrives at the same constructs.

However SQL is declarative, which provides a path for query optimizers to parse and create optimized plans. Whereas with chained methods, unless one implements lazy evaluation one misses out on look aheads and opportunities to do rewrites.
Good looks and strong character. Also, we are comfortable to tell each other everything.
Also, it helps that she has a very unusual taste in men and I happen to meet her requirements.
It's purely in-browser/in-memory. So no this version won't work for large datasets.

The DataStation desktop or server app will work better for larger datasets but it takes a while to handle data larger than 4GB. It should handle 10gb+ eventually but it will be slow.
There are loads of things that are not possible or are very cumbersome to write in SQL, but that pandas and many other dataframe systems allow. Examples are dropping null values based on some threshold, one-hot encoding, covariance, and certain data cleaning operations. These are possible in SQL but very cumbersome to write. There are also things that are outright impossible in a relational database related to metadata manipulation.

SQL is super expressive, but I think pandas gets a bad rap. At it's core the data model and language can be more expressive than relational databases (see [1]).

I co-authored a paper that explained these differences with a theoretical foundation[1].

Good communicators generally foster that environment. And their customers appreciate it, so there is an external expectation now too. Everything ends some day, but I think this will be regarded as a valuable attribute for awhile.
This understates the proliferation and impact of porn, but as with most things, there's usually more than one factor. What you mentioned as novel activities today share one thing in common: they're sedentary. A sedentary lifestyle leads to lower sex drive.
I’m the same. I’ve had a large volume of sex but only with 3 women. Obviously I have a libido, but it gets overridden often by “this person is awful and I don’t want to bang them” as well as good old social anxiety/the tism.

I think for the majority of guys, the rigmarole around getting hookups was always a delicate calculus involving tradeoffs in money and time, for an uncertain payoff: a good lay if you’re lucky and bragging rights.

Now the economy is tighter and society has made bragging about conquests a bit less acceptable, so I think our pattern of just having deep (and free) sex with a loving partner is much more appealing.
Housing and material wealth keeps coming up but we’ve survived and thrived after a good chunk of Europe was razed, critical infrastructure missing and entire countries needing to be rebuilt. Peoples wants and needs weren’t that different from ours, we just have more of them, but we desire them as much as any period of time before us.

We don’t, unfortunately, have many first hand accounts of how people survived during these times.

I do remember a poignant scene in Saving Private Ryan as Tom Hanks and the squad are moving through a shelled European city. I think it’s in France, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen the film.

In that scene they come across a mother and daughter living in an apartment, with no real hope of a better life as most of the city has been bombed. They invite themselves in for tea. A young Private catches the eye of the daughter, and vice versa. Tom Hanks, the mother, and rest of the squad pretend that they’re having tea and talking and laughing while the two young people go to a different room (subtext being to have a discussion of their own). Tom Hanks looks at the mother and gives her a warm smile. Everyone has a stupid-grin look on their face, acting ignorant. The scene, out of place though it may be, acknowledges the needs of young people, and that older generations sometimes literally have to play a part, and move out of the way and let the young people do what they desire to do and to not strip them of or take away their opportunities.
If it were just a matter of people being terrible at talking to strangers, you'd see the same issues that affect straight dating apps affect gay dating ones. They don't. (That also applies to the comment you're replying to).

Any explanation of the shittiness of straight dating apps has to center gender norms and roles.
