Tech, porn, and social media/lack of community are what I think the issues are. And your comment which I mostly agree with seems to contradict your first sentence. Everything you said (Gaming, endless video-on-demand, porn, social media, online dating, remote work) is enabled by technology. Ergo, tech /is/ the main culprit. Now, onto the post I originally typed:

I wonder if younger people know what it's like to go a week or two without orgasm. I don't know many teens/young adults, much less well enough to ask about sex culture. I came of age in the 2000s, when online porn was a thing, but not ubiquitous, not HD, and still taboo. I do know that deprivation of orgasm makes it that much better when it does happen, and it changes your mind in both increase of sexual drive, and for me, increase in the desire for true intimacy, rather than just an anxious need to get off. When I kick the habit, my interest in talking to women goes higher than normal, and not "simply" because I'd like sex - it's because my entire mind is changed to wanting intimacy and to meet people.

So ubiquity of porn and its normalization is a big factor in people not seeking true human contact.

I think that people are also becoming more and more shy/anxious in general, at least by my flawed observations. Between rapidly changing social cues/acceptable behavior, being constantly connected, etc., it is difficult for people to connect and disconnect appropriately.

I think about the pre-Internet era when people could maybe date or hook up, and if it didn't work, it was out of sight, out of mind. Now with social media, I see people staying connected despite falling out. Maybe out of curiosity, maybe thinking they can still be friends, but I think that the inability to have a clear head/fresh start makes things difficult.

At least in my area/life, there isn't a huge sense of community. It takes a lot of effort to find non-bar oriented things to do that has a decently high number of people attending, who are all interested in the same things, and where it's likely to find a person to date. Say what you want about religion, but church really does serve a valuable purpose when not used to direct people toward bigotry.

Gotta run to a meeting, this was a bit of a braindump, but the topic of human interaction and macro loneliness is an interesting topic, and a serious one that truly scares the shit out of me for my society and myself.
Now this is a post mortem.

Coming to find out it's just some crypto drivel was a huge let down.
In the Netherlands they've also become corrupted. The big union leaders have become so used to sitting at the executive table that they've lost track of the people they represent. Of course there's exceptions but I feel that they listen to corporate concerns way too much.

But unfortunately the Netherlands is the country with the most Anglo-Saxon model that is still in the EU. So it was bound to happen.
It's not just the right levying those attacks. Wealthy progressives making the exact same arguments.
It's just part of the game really. The only effective way to have women stay in these dating platforms is to make them somehow feel unsatisfied.
The future is still looking pretty bright relative to the rest of human history, unless the subset of people who are very concerned about the future choose not to have kids, in which case not so much.
By the looks of it, we are witnessing the "Cambrian explosion" of web search.

Search engines will evolve and those that do not adapt might be up for a nasty surprise by the end of Mesozoic Era, no matter how big they are.
It's this onslaught in the media of violent crime, stranger danger, drugs and gangs and immigrants everywhere. This isn't a new idea, it started decades ago.

I will mention that due to the rise of the internet and Certain Entities having an interest in making people afraid, people are exposed a lot more to things they should be afraid of. Would people have heard about e.g. a child disappearing in the next state over say 50 years ago?
For sure my retention is better with text on a page. I kept a journal for a while about what I learned that day and that worked somewhat well. For the computer ones it's really just a starting point to find things I wasn't even aware of and dive deeper.
No, it’s not bad, it’s good.

Keep in mind the realistic alternative in practice is number of users paying for a yearly subscription. Which would you rather see more often as an engagement metric - subscription plans, or open source users? It would be a sign of vitality for the open source community if github stars were a metric that VCs sought more often.

All metrics for pre-seed startups are based on popularity, that’s what VCs ask for: indicators that people want to use your product, whether it’s monthly active users, monthly recurring revenue, or github stars.

When someone is trying to build it via open source rather than a subscription model, github stars might be the best, or even only available way to track engagement reliably. Also, part of the story was about how long it took to reach a certain number of stars, and they compared it to other projects that got as much engagement more quickly.
"hell of a lot of freetime"

Absolutely wrong.

Go ahead and keep arguing for giving up. Good for you. And go ahead and bring up all sorts of incorrect or completely irrelevant stuff. Good for you.

The point is that I don't understand apologists like you who want everyone to just give up. Are you a paid shill?
Is it so hard? At my company, I set up a status page linked to a pinging service which automatically pings various endpoints every 5 minutes (as well as our 3rd-party dependencies) and automatically flags any problems if a ping does not respond.

The pinging service and status page, at our scale, is free and our status page is actually useful and automated for 90% of our stuff.

Hm, I guess most half-assed techy blogs are 0/10 then.

Honestly I don't see a problem with the few posts I looked at. It's like recipes. You can't copyright recipes. At least it's not AI-generated blogspam, but a modicum of at least curating went in here.
The article doesn't really mention if the numbers are related to sexual partners or number of times the deed is performed. Many years ago, I remember my friend having "encounters" with many different women usually lasting one night. While I had only a few partners, but had much higher deeds.

I've noticed "the youth" in general are kind of like my friend. Not into settling down, but rather going for the variety. However, it takes a lot to hook up, even with apps like Tinder. Hence I think people are having less sex.
I doubt the ratio is that extreme, but if the delta exists isn't the logical conclusion that a smaller subset of the men are having sex with a larger percentage of the women?

Nah Cisco has labs you can download and learn for their networking certifications, which are kinda the standard.

Networking talent is kind of hard to find and if you learn that your chances of employment get pretty high.
Union leaders are elected by their current members. The current members want to create labor scarcity to inflate their own wages. Unions, just like industry associations and all other types of guilds, have a natural incentive to raise the barrier to entry.

That isn't to say unions are bad necessarily. They have plenty of upsides as well. But it's important to recognize flawed incentives where they exist.

Sure, but that's still all just UI. You can build all of those things on a 2D screen. If you build a Unity 3D app, you get to choose to build for whatever platform if it's Windows or Android or VR rig. In fact, I have done the 3d furniture simulator thing for a furniture retailer but it was all just done on screens. I've also done a load of work in AR with both handheld and headset devices. We had clients who desperately wanted a cool AR experience and we spent many weeks and months brainstorming things we could do and really just came up with fluff. We looked at everything in the market, talked to manufacturers, did some experiments with users. Nobody came up with anything compelling. We built some cool novelty experiences, but nothing anyone would pay money for. I can believe that a massive (and it has to be like 10X current gen) improvement in resolution and refresh rate will make the experience smooth enough to be a complimentary technology for some niches.

The thing is, you may dislike the takes but they are in response to a real problem normies don't think about or would have any advice to give.

The solutions may be seen as bad or the takes as not good, but the problem still is very real, and for many people bad solutions are better than no solutions or the advice people give that doesn't work at all. Things like this should alert you to the fact something is wrong, not make you recoil from all the bad people.
This is a bit too conspiratorial: I've spoken to people who work at these companies, and there's not a team of analysts trying to figure out how to minimize the number of successful relationships that come from using the app. An app that has a reputation for "I met my last partner on X, and we're getting married next week!" will get far more users and recurring revenue through word of mouth.

The bigger issue is that figuring out good matchings is a crapshoot and users' self-described desires and priorities aren't actually in-line with what will make them happy. Everyone wants someone hot (almost by definition), and so the hot people get a lot of interest: the ones actually interested in relationships quickly end up off the market, and those remaining are more than capable of soaking up all the available interest.

Savage Love really improved my wife's and my relationship (physical and otherwise). I highly recommend it, but if you're not familiar with Dan Savage, be prepared for some varsity-level discussions.
More ideas...

- On-call. Some people require a regular schedule with a limit of 40 hours per week.

- Allergies. Dog-friendly is not friendly to people allergic to dogs. And yes, your "hypoallergenic" dog will still give me an asthma attack.

- Dietary restrictions. Makes anything involving food the opposite of fun. (I'm allergic to milk proteins and cross-contamination can make me very sick.)
But i don’t wear glasses. So getting prescription lenses is just one more thing to deal with for when my wife wants to play beat Sabre.

There's also some very weird survivorship bias going on.

Everyone you meet is the child of people who have sex. Even if they had the child via in vitro or adopted or whatever. Your parents fuck.

So your parents fuck. Your friends' parents fuck. That asshole who bullies you in high school. Their parents fuck. It really does seem like everyone is fucking all the time. You live in a neighborhood where most people will also have kids. All those people? Fucking.

You know what happens to people who don't fuck? They don't have families. You never get to really interact with them until you or your friends become those people later in life. And it makes you wonder why you aren't fucking because when you were growing up, it seemed like everyone was. But it was only a very specific subset of people that made up your circle.
Then don't read it.

"Ctrl-F Marriage" gives no results. Surely decrease in marriages is the biggest driver. It's a lot easier to have sex with someone if you live with them. A straight person isn't going to find multiple new partners to sleep with per week and even if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, unless you are cohabitating you probably only see them a few days per week.
There's a very, very good reason for not wanting to know, and undercover organizations (legal or otherwise) have always exploited it:

You can't spill what you don't know. If you're an illegal or espionage group, your members can't be threatened or tortured into giving up information they don't have. Similarly, they can't give it to WikiLeaks.

The whole article is misleading. But that's not unexpected from an extreme right wing propaganda site like The American Mirror.

Their front page has things like, Obama discovered wearing Muslim clothing!

This sort of garbage is purely rage bait for the right and it's pretty weird seeing it on the front page of HN.
Disagree. If i have per-month subscription that does not have termination notice period, i could terminate it any time, next month effective.

If i have to pre-pay service, while i can still pay on per-month basis, that is usually such inconvenience that i would rather pay per-year or longer.

Considering privacy issues i assume that pre-paid account could not be cancelled and refunded earlier, i am implicitly forced to year-long contract with pay ahead.

I think the big mistake here is to assume that the original symbols were the right way of representing the information needed at all.

A clear number for temperature on its own, followed by a separate symbol for a machine or a hand would be clearer than piling one onto another.
I've noticed the same thing. Honestly, as much as I hate ads, I've recently discovered Pluto TV on Google TV. It feels a lot like cable used to! You can pick from "channels" and you get what you get. There's no pausing, no rewinding, and your choices are limited to what's on.

I would have laughed if someone had told me that I'd be turning it on, but I frequently do. Basically whenever I'm not sure what to watch, I flip to that and throw on one of the channels.
I see this explanation of the grind of online dating a lot, and I think it misses a more fundamental point: people fundamentally are pretty terrible at talking to strangers. Without conversational skills, a vast majority of online dating conversations simply fizzle out; often times simply due to disinterest, but I think almost always due to a lack of ability to hold a conversation and be both interesting and interested.

I find there's actually a lot of success to be had online dating, if you just know how to talk to people and learn about them! It seems like such a tautology but I think it really is that simple.
i'm gonna go with the less popular view here that overly detailed post mortems do little in the grand scheme of things other than satisfy tech p0rn for a tiny, highly technical audience. does wonders for hiring indeed.

sure, transparency is better than "something went wrong, we take this very seriously, sorry." (although the non technical crowd couldn't care less)

only people who dont do anything make no mistakes, but doing such highly impactful changes so quickly (inside one day!) for where 50% of traffic happens seems a huge red flag to me, no matter the procedure and safety valves.
RISC isn't about the number of total instructions, but the complexity of the individual instructions. Consider the ARM "JavaScript instruction" people love to make fun of. FJCVTZS sure sounds like a ridiculous instruction name right out of x86 -- but in reality, it performs a very simple task that greatly speeds up JavaScript code, and it's trivial to implement in hardware but painful in software. If you're going to be doing a task like that frequently it absolutely makes sense to have an instruction for it, and RISC vs. CISC doesn't change that.

What makes an architecture CISC is when the instructions start to do too many things at once. For instance, on x86 you can write something like ‘ADD [rax + 0x1234 + 8*rbx], rcx'. This one instruction involves a bit shift, two additions, a memory load, a third addition, and a memory store (and you can stick on prefix bytes to do even more things). Whereas on a RISC you'd split this operation into four or five separate instructions.

Crucially, the work that the processor has to do doesn't actually change -- the CISC processor is just going to split the instruction apart into RISCy microoperations anyway. So the RISC processor has to do a little more memory access to read all the instructions, but much less decoding work to lower them into the same microcode.
> which would redirect all relevant operations to the hardware.

That might be more than you think.
This is three years old. It's hard to see what posting it now is bringing to reasoned discourse.
Yup, I've come to realize that the word(s) "centralized/decentralized" are doing way too much heavy-lifting in these discussions, and that examining the details is very important.

When you use one of these words, you have to immediately ask -- "the power to do WHAT, exactly?" As in, compare to the question e.g. "Is Tesla centralized w/r/t Elon Musk?" You can't meaningfully answer the question with yes or no, and this gets even more complicated with many things in crypto, especially with (the extremely stupidly named) "Smart Contract" as a part of the game.
Agency can be a burden: knowing about something and also knowing that you can do something about it, but that there is a cost to doing something about it, can expose serious deficiencies in human beings (gross cowardice in particular).

Churches with serial molesters as priests are a rather grim example: apparently quite a few people knew what was going on in many (most?) of these cases, but the cost of taking action was viewed as being too detrimental to the image of the church, so, they let it continue. This kind of behavior was also seen with those FBI agents and internal executives who were informed about the USA Gymnast's serial child predator by some of the victims (the FBI is now facing a $1 billion lawsuit for negligence, a case worth watching):

With VR it’s not about the world you play in, it’s all about the people who are there. Most of what I do in VR is just hang out and talk to people but when I do game it’s anything with multiplayer. As long as the game includes grabbable objects and physics people will make their own fun. It’s a much lower bar than traditional games, just make sure your networking is on point and you almost can’t lose.
