It's much more effective via law. You have many people who are indifferent, so you only need more support than the detractors (like how an NPS works). Not only that, but you could still have a minority who support a network that still releases the name, undermining the others who don't.

If the author if this app happens to read this, can you perhaps explain the thought process behind creating this app? Are you expecting thousands of women to flock to try their luck matching with a developer (a male dominated industry)?

If you're looking to develop another dating app perhaps look for ways to address the problems with existing ones. Here are a few examples: Horrible male to female ratio. Men swipe at everything, women are incredibly picky. F*boys. Female safety fears. Catfishing. Scams. Superficial decision making in matching. Ghosting. Lack of reputation building and tracking in the app. Crappy profiles. Old outdated pictures. Lack of actually wanting to meet.

My humble suggestion: Pivot and come up with something unique that makes online dating a notch better than it currently is.

More discussion earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32045928
It's not just biology. It's basically every subject in high school. The amount of knowledge in the world has exploded in the last 100 - 150 years, yet our school system refuses to adapt and pretends we're still in the early 1900s. Back then you actually could get a good and reasonably in-depth overview of what makes the world work before going to college or work.

But those kinds of aspirations are completely futile these days. People in the ministries of education and other responsible bodies will argue that high school's purpose is not to educate on a subject in depth but to give a broad overview of many subjects but that's completely besides the point. Because the point is that the only way that they are able to "give you a broad overview" these days is by force-feeding you ever more facts and knowledge in sliced up classes, compressed into ever more shallow and boring text books and then letting you puke it all out in brain dead exams, many times a year for many different subjects, in parallel. Bulimia learning.

Which is beyond sad, because basically every subject can be the source of wonder and amazement if taught the right way and with enough time to explain and explore. Which is why we need to let our kids choose the subjects they are interested early in school and get comfortable with the fact that they won't have any knowledge about other subjects when they leave high school. There simply isn't any other way.

FTA: It can launch Posideon torpedoes that can destroy cities from afar. It can locate and manipulate objects on the ocean floor, including communications cables that it can either potentially tap or cut, blinding adversaries.

In my limited understanding, that are two wildly different roles; I don’t see why you would use a huge vessel like this (about 100 sailors, reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar-class_submarine) to do wire-tapping.

> Jeremy Paxman interview politicians and we were more or less in chock that he actually pushed

Yes, Paxman was good at pushing politicians.

But he was not a lobby pass holder either, AFAIK. So he had nothing to loose.

Politicians with a grilling fetish came to see him on Newsnight knowing exactly what they would be facing.

But he equally represented a generation of political journalists that seems to have been lost with the newer generation. The new generation of political journalists seems to have lost that "dog with a bone" sprit, even those who are free of the self-imposed restrictions of the lobby pass.

The Johnson partygate, for example, came out of leaks rather than tough questioning of politicians. There are rumours around that some of the more high-profile lobby journalists were at said parties....
Can you say why you think the design is good?

That logo is unnecessary and takes up more room than the watch face. I don’t think this is even for telling the time. I can’t imagine this distinctive look is merely to signal that you have 1.8m on your wrist.

This is exactly the perverse pricing problem that Tesla (or someone else) can easily solve with aggregation+Autobidder.

Tesla knows your utility rate, including the absence or presence of time-of-use billing. They also have access to the real-time market behind the meter. In this position, they can always Do The Right Thing to minimize total cost of EV charging (electric bill minus earned Autobidder revenue).

In your case the Right Thing sounds like choosing the tiered PG&E rate, and letting Tesla aggregation pay you for load shifting.
Yes.

Let me also ask what 17 fewer collaborators mean. I work in a company with 7 employees, so I should work with negative ten people for optimum statistical happiness!

Without the base values, the article's advice is subject to speculation, but I guess we could start with how the average bigcorp in 200? operated and go from there. Problem is, I don't know what those values were, either.

What's also interesting to me is that working in a team of more than 17 people is (was?) normal, that seems like a lot of people to coordinate with (even at Deloitte, my direct coworkers (developers) were a group of 3 others, part of a larger team of maybe 40 (mostly pentesters) but they also all worked in smaller groups of 1-4). Daily stand-ups with 4 people were long enough for my taste.

> people need to stop putting up with it

What I'm going to say might sound paternalistic to you, but it's the truth: most people don't really think that hard, generally speaking, and certainly not when it comes to satisfying their entertainment needs. That's why we have laws to protect the general public from predatory behavior in finance, hospitality, etc etc.

This is predatory behavior, and it's now enacted at a scale that makes it parasitical - fleecing more and more money from the general consumer. A public response would be absolutely justified, in the same way it's absolutely justified what we're currently seeing going down with Apple's and Google's appstores.

Otherwise we will continue to sleepwalk in the cyberpunk dystopia where corporations own our lives in practice, while being 'free to choose' purely in theory.

I'd also like to mention that half of the parts in any given Tesla are off the shelf parts shared with other car brands. Just normal boring things you'd never think of... but ones that also require NHTSA approval, thus, a small number of Chinese companies have a monopoly on those otherwise boring parts. This came up when the pandemic started, and Tesla had to halt production lines waiting for the cargo ship to arrive from overseas because Tesla doesn't make that part.

We have like 3 actually good mechanics locally... most of what they do is related to alignment, suspensions, and consumables that owners don't feel comfortable doing themselves. All three of these still apply to a Tesla, even though they don't need their oil changed, they still have tires, antifreeze, air filters, brakes, etc, and that's still bread and butter work for the local shop.

What is most absurd about Energy Vault is that simply using water (a kind of mini-pumped hydro) would be orders of magnitude cheaper to build and far more efficient.

Gravity storage is not new. It predates the electric motor by centuries. You store power by using it to lift a heavy thing and then let that heavy thing drop and spin a wheel or a turbine when you want that energy back. The weight can be anything; a bag of rocks, a gallon of water, or a custom-form concrete block.

From an engineering perspective, water is the way to go. It's cheap, easy to work with, and turbines/pumps are efficient. Best of all, you don't need to build some bizarre, towering structure to hold it. Just use tanks if there are no natural elevations.

In fact, you could put the whole thing underground if you wanted to. All that matters for gravity storage is the relative distance you move the mass.

Energy Vault seems to be taking us back to the medieval bag-of-rocks method of energy storage.

I've never understood why people consider them innovative.
> Does "levels" mean "depth"? To give the feel how deep in the subject you are?

Yes! Level means depth.

> Don't stacked "parents" give that feel?

No! The stack doesn't give me that feel, because visually, it doesn't look like a stack. My brain perceives a series of plain text lines as a block of information. There's a reason we add symbols (numbers, discs) to checklists. We want them differentiated from normal text blocks. Of course you don't necessarily need to use symbols, you could also make use of relative positioning (between levels) or color (varying the intensity of the same color as you move up and down the levels, or use a color theme), etc.

I was not saying that USSR is Russia.

In earlier comment you said: "Vietnam and Afghanistan .... Those were pure proxy wars. This is not a proxy war, it is a direct hot war."
And here you wrote: "This is not a proxy war. Russia is involved directly on its border. A proxy war is in a far off land." And I was saying that Afghanistan was not a far off land, it was on the border, so your two usages of "proxy war" weren't consistent.

Sorry, I don't understand your second paragraph, I was not trying to draw an analogy with USSR and Afghanistan.

As I understand, your argument is instead that: "Afghanistan was not important to USSR, so USSR did not consider using nuclear weapons then", while "Ukraine is a core interest of Russia, so it will rather start a nuclear war (and risk destruction of the world) rather than back down and return to the positions before Feb 24th."
I don't know if this statement is as obviously correct as it may seem to you. Certainly many believe that Russia is not willing to self-destruct to stand the ground here.
I got bit by this with iPhone backups. I did a phone trade in and followed the backup before trading in instructions. Problem is after the trade in the backup failed to restore due to an unknown error. The whole manual syncing and backing up with a cable workflow with Apple is super fickle and riddled with bugs.

Luckily I had Time Machine backups of my iOS backups and I managed to avoid losing too much data.

As a sidenote it seems like Apple has pretty much neglected their offline backup and syncing workflow to drive more people to just pay for iCloud storage. Half the time my iPhone takes hours just to get detected by the mac when plugged in.
Having a statement like that shows people that they are open to suggestions on improvements. Since a lot of people are not so open to suggestions, it makes sense to me to include this language. They added a little X button so you can close it easily.

That's not an actual alternative.

Just because it's affecting a different group of sentient beings doesn't mean it's an actual alternative, it's effectively the same thing: violation of consent, abuse and sequestration at a huge scale.

>I think the article overlooks that the reasons for declining birth rate in different places are different. Among white Americans and Europeans, declining birth rates are due to post-modern views about families, social obligations, and self determination. In Bangladesh (where I’m from) it’s a matter of population control in a densely populated country.

OP here. You're correct, I didn't get into specific reasons for why fertility has declined. This was primarily because it would send the article of on a tangent but also because the final outcome is the same regardless of the reasons behind it. The key point I was trying to highlight was that religious people can be persuaded to drastically reduce their fertility. Within Bangladesh, there was a persistent Islamic resistance to the adoption of birth control, though its adoption eventually won out despite their ultra-conservative religious views. which is what I wanted to stress.

>As countries develop economically (and face demographic inversion) I wouldn’t assume birth rates wouldn’t go back up. The US fertility rate got down to 2 in 1940 (likely due to the economic pressures of the Great Depression) before bouncing back to 3.5 in 1960.

Also a very interesting point you bring up, though the 1950s baby boom was predicated on the end of WWII + post-WWII prosperity. In countries like India and Bangladesh the middle class and aspirants towards upward mobility often face significantly more expenses that a 1950s American did. For example, education is a major financial expense. Private schooling is often viewed as a must by anyone who can afford it, owing to the poor quality of public schooling in these countries. So is private tuition. Unlike 1950s America it is very difficult to achieve middle class status without a university education (and even then it is not a given), these factors serve as strong incentives too reducing the number of children in these countries.

Likewise conservative practices like dowries also may be driving the birth rate down as it is viewed as the responsibility of the parents to raise a substantial enough dowry to ensure their daughter can land a decent husband. Families who cannot achieve this will be viewed as parents who failed their daughters. Unfortunately, neoliberalism has increased not decreased the size and prevalence of dowries.

So for this reason, I do not foresee a South Asian baby boom as it enters middle-income status. Asian nations like South Korea didn't see one for the same reasons.
I'm the opposite. I would much rather have the CCP have my data then a US based company like FB. Unless I travel to China, what are the CCP going to do to the average American with their data?

Some of this can be fixed with technology - but men swiping on everyone, women being picky, and other ancient habits are probably not on that list.

What you’re after is more than likely much closer to a traditionally arranged communion (dating, marriage, whatever). The filters, pre selection, etc, would be in place by design. As we all know, that isn’t going to fly at all. You’d get your head cut off (in Minecraft) if you suggested this to women today as a viable means of pairing with men.

What you’re looking at now is what happens when we take the facade of civilization, society, some concept of fairness etc in the “dating marketplace” and the filters away, and we show humans as they are. Their wants, needs, desires, desperations. And if things look bleak to you, I assure you, it’s not because of technology and it’s not something technology will fix.

From a related issue with a different vendor:

"The fault fixed by the Dell EMC firmware concerns an Assert function which had a bad check to validate the value of a circular buffer’s index value. Instead of checking the maximum value as N, it checked for N-1. The fix corrects the assert check to use the maximum value as N."

Why the MAX value would be in an circular buffer, or what was being stored in N-1? No idea.
I'm not solving for loud noises that the police have to hear. You took my literal words, lost the point, and turned it into ready outrage.

There are legitimate reasons for the police to have bystanders stay a distance away from them while doing their job. Not having people purposely stand in the police's way and provoke conflict while filming is reasonable.

And let's not go down the hole of analyzing police shooting stats. We can do that endlessly. How many of those shootings were against armed suspects? How many were in the process of committing crimes? We can go on and on. Your numbers will drop fast.

Not saying we don't have a problem with guns in this country. But putting the outrage on having to stand reasonably far away from a police officer isn't where it's going to be solved.
