Disruption of gender roles and de-stigmatising hookup culture.

Nowadays average girls sleep with the top x% guys from tinder instead of finding local average peers. They also out-earn their male peers and just a small percentage is willing to date down and settle with a guy earning less then them.

This brought kids to find refuge in videogames or the internet in general and be overall very lonely.

The media outrage towards typically male traits (think toxic masculinity) and a unmeritocratic culture (think everybody gets a prize, "positive" discrimination for "minorities" in college admissions and in the work force) is also incredibly damaging to guys who struggle more then ever to be successful.

The rise of porn, onlyfans and twitch (as it provides companionship) are clear symptoms that each passing generation is more and more lonely.

Loneliness will eventually breed creeps, incels, school shooters or people who are easily radicalised by terrorist organisations.
That was very interesting, right until it turned dark. Warning, somewhat graphic/NSFW

That's precisely why opt-in practices need to be observed. If you don't want to be in the club, you shouldn't receive texts and you should be pestered to join. If you did join and then you decided later that you don't want to be in, simply replying "stop" will remove you from the program. We actually include those opt-out instruction on every text, because it should be easy to know how to leave if you don't want to continue to receive those texts.

But if you really like a place and want discounts to them, this could be a good option.
On one hand I understand your frustrations, on the other hand, I'm coordinating a bunch of meetups and one of them lost its crew and was abandoned. Then I got in touch with a guy who bought it and is happily running the meetup now.

Traditional reactors can be air cooled, it just costs more.

For high temperature reactors (e.g. helium or molten salt), air cooling is trivial.

PHP had lots of resources from Facebook, not sure if that is still the case. But PHP has enough market share where resources isn't a problem.

Python from Google, Nvidia, Microsoft and Companies with Machine Learning, AI etc.

Javascript from all major Browser Vendors.

As I have stated before the only programming language that broke the Top 10 list without a major industry or company backing was Ruby. There are lots of companies or Startup that uses Ruby, GitHub, GitLab, Basecamp, Cookpad, Stripe, Discourse etc. But the investment in Ruby or the VM itself is relatively tiny. Remember Shopify investing in Ruby is a fairly recent thing.

American here. In high school, a (male) student opened up a (female) teacher’s personal laptop while she was out of the class and found nudes from her early modeling career. The teacher was fired for it.

I still think about how unjust that was.
This is an incredibly broad statement based on practically nothing. You don't think it's weird that most of the largest, most successful websites have mountains of tooling and frameworks to help them remain performant and reliable? All these tools either help the user directly, or solve real problems for companies to help them build more quickly.

I also think you grossly overestimate the average user's abilities. They literally cannot tell what is possible and what is not. They don't want simple, they want something to solve everything, as easily as possible.
The issues have certainly gotten worse over the past 15 years. A lot of factors combined to get us to the current state, and some were set in motion long long ago.

Just some examples:

Prop 13[1] passed in 1978:

* requires a 2/3s majority in both chambers to raise tax rates
* caps increases on property taxes to sub-inflation rates, incentivizes people to stay in their homes forever to keep their cheap rate
* forces the state to rely more and more on income taxes, which are very unstable, so we see boom and bust years. CA will be coming up on a bust year now.
* Shields home voters from any downside of their property value going up (higher tax rates you'd see in other states), so more incentive to NIMBY any new development in your neighborhood.
* cities can get more tax revenue from commercial properties than residential so they are incentivized to build office buildings and not housing (see how well that's working out for San Francisco now)

Late 70s downzoning:
* Across California many cities downzoned, severely limiting the height, density and types of housing that could be built.
* I read the environmental impact report for the late 70s downzone of San Francisco and it specifically called out how this would increase housing costs unless the city significantly increased development in the industrial parts of the city. That didn't really happen, so here we are.

The proposition system in general
* We vote on absolutely crazy things that I think should be left to legislators or bureaucrats. One thing that stood out to me as particularly weird was 2018 Prop 8[2]
* This history of this system was to limit the power of the rail roads who'd bought many of the politicians, so it was a counter to a corrupt legislature. But then someone "innovated" and started paying people to collect signatures to get something on the ballot, and now it's used for all sorts of confusing and niche purposes.

In recent years we've been seeing actual progress on some of the housing related policy. I think organizations like CA YIMBY[3] get a ton of credit for that.

But I'm not sure what we'll do about Prop 13 or the proposition system in general. Prop 13 in general is kind of a 3rd rail in CA politics. But there has been some attempts to chip away at the edges that got close. 2020 Prop 15[4] came close to passing and would have addressed some of the issues in Prop 13 for commercial properties.

Interesting possibility - have a long set of tweets "hidden" in the history, only visible to those interested enough in tapping the label.
Indeed, a fundamental to the problem is that most unicode text doesn't actually carry the relevant locale information... (Of course, one probably wouldn't want to rely on sender-specified locales for email adresses when deciding address equality -- that would open one up to all sorts of potential weird scenarios, i.e. a nightmare for security).

Your bars don't have pool tables?

If you want to go to a bar and meet other people, go to one with a pool table. Hitting on women is much smoother when you meet their girlfriend's boyfriend first, and better tolerated whether she's interested or not.
Yes but it’s unlikely to have that kind of cultural change during my lifetime so the most realistic solution right now is just to avoid reporters, on the other end I don’t really see the value of being published to be seen by strangers in any case, when I’m enjoying human in person company
I’m glad you’re willing to take the mask off and show your true feelings. It’s really great for everybody in this forum who may have been persuaded by your hateful nativist screed to see what kind of person you truly are.

That’s silly. If your boss tells you, “make sure you use encrypted e-mail”, would you be able to get away with rot13? Used casually, the phrase “encrypted e-mail” means securely encrypted e-mail.
ITT people who never used dating apps and have been married for years giving their opinion.

Jokes aside... Dating apps suck. Generally so does going on first dates. So does interviewing for a job. So does making new/any friends.

Lots of things are hard and are a numbers game. The nice part is that HOPEFULLY you only have to hit a home run once. You don't have to become an expert at dating. You just have to try enough to meet someone who is as weird and fucked up as you and wants to spend a lot of time being weird and fucked up together.

Context is king. I like that.

So if someone is writing from experience similar to yours, it might be pretty valuable, but it will never be as context specific as having a coach would be. Same for friends who you know are a step or two ahead of you and who have the time to give you advice - it sounds like that would be super valuable as well.
Thanks for sharing this. This especially annoys me with my kids when they picked up the "I'm bad at maths" meme, likely early in their school years. We have since had many discussions about it – deciding you're bad at something is not itself a reason to give up trying to improve, and I firmly believe anyone can learn methods to be productive with a tool, given care and concentration.
You are getting hammered by the HN crowd here but there is merit to stuff like this. I will tell you what I do want as a customer:

- Ask me to opt-in but only the 3rd or more time I am ordering from the same restaurant. Asking me to opt-in right away will seem more spammy. If I am coming to a restaurant for the 3rd time, I probably like the food and will be open to receiving some marketing stuff if it helps me as well

- Send me targeted messages and not generic. For example, lets say I frequently order "General Tso's Chicken", perhaps send me an offer that mentions it. I would be more inclined to act.

- Do not over text/SMS. You mentioned this already but cannot be understated. Thi is where you have to teach the restaurants. I would even say put technical limits ( a restaurant cannot SMS same customer more than 2 times a month etc) even though you charge by the SMS. It is in your long term interest that customers are not turned off by too many messages.

- Make it a bit fun and not all marketing/money. Send me interesting stuff on the food I just ate (may be how it was made etc).

- Coupons would be awesome if I haven't visited for a while and it could get me to order my fav. food again.
France operates on a "periphery-to-Paris-and-back" model, so the goal is quite clear – you build a radial line towards Paris and voilà, you've sped up that relation. "periphery-to-periphery" traffic is mostly ignored, so you get the somewhat curious situation where the geographically direct connection between two cities might be slower (or only marginally faster) than going all the way into Paris and back out again.

Germany on the other hand doesn't have a single city that's as extremely dominant as Paris, so to capture a similar amount of traffic on your high speed network you need something more like a mesh, where any single route might only capture a smaller fraction of the total traffic, rather than the simply radial star you can get by in France.

Of course that's not the only reason for the differing evolution of high speed rail between France and Germany, but it definitively is one of the reasons behind that difference.
Medical appointment reminders and other medical communications have a special cutout in the TCPA, including reduced consent requirements. They annoy me too though; they're redundant with my calendar reminders. The feedback SMS might not be included in the exception either.

Eerlijke WOZ | Senior Backend Developer (Clojure) / Senior Frontend Developer (Typescript) | Amsterdam | FULLTIME ONSITE VISA

Eerlijke WOZ (https://eerlijkewoz.nl) is a fast-growing scale up in The Netherlands, with its headquarters in Amsterdam. We have a team of fiscal advisors helping every year tens of thousands of citizens lowering their taxes. Our clients and advisors need practical, accessible and dependable software systems in order to collaborate with each other and leverage our home-grown algorithms for real estate valuation and fiscal advantage determination. Our advisors need to be able to efficiently leverage and distill all of the available data from many first- and third-party sources into the winning arguments when they will bring our clients cases forward to the relevant local goverment.

Company wise we have 5 years of history, but it only took 3 to become market leaders and just 1 to achieve profitability.

Our tech team is quite international and geographically distributed, but this position requires a few days per week presence at our office so a weekly commute to Amsterdam is a requirement. We can surely appreciate the value that the right person brings to the table so we are happy to pay accordingly.

We are looking for a Senior Developer to join our backend team as well as a Senior Frontend Developer. Our backend applications are mostly written in Clojure whereas our frontends are all ReactJS based applications, mostly written in Typescript.

Reach out to carlo@eerlijkewoz.nl for further details
Don't have to go light speed, thanks to relativity. If we could achieve and sustain even 1G acceleration, live humans could make the 100LY trip in approx. 9 years (spaceship time). You could leave, visit the planet, and come back only 18 years older and tell the next-next-next-next-next generation all about it.

EDIT: To be fair, 1G over 100LY will result in a maximum speed around 0.9998c so I guess you would have to approximately approach light speed for this trip.

SEEKING WORK | Romania | Remote

I help companies to increase employee potential and make their work easier and less time-consuming.

After 5+ years as a Solution Architect and RPA Developer, I’ve gathered experience in all the phases of a project and had the opportunity to
discover, improve, implement and deploy automation for business processes from different industries:

Insurance industry with multiple processes in the auto claim management area;

Telecommunication industry for ticket management and resolution of various telecom-specific requests;

Other industries such as E-commerce, logistics, accounting, automobile leasing, and fleet management or industrial markets.

From my experience the common phases of an RPA project are:

1. Initial analysis. By taking part in internal process analysis and deep dives, I would have a clear vision of process optimization and integration with RPA.

2. Process definition. The next step would be to create a Process Definition Document (PDD), that describes in detail each step of the process. In this phase, the technical solution is agreed upon with you and a full process development estimation (Precise estimation. ex. 7 months).

3. Technical Solution. With Solution Design Document (SDD), built and approved, and an environment ready for development, the development phase should take place.

4. Development. Following a set of UiPath rules and best practices, development standards are set high and the quality of the product is assured.

5. Testing. End-to-end testing and User Acceptance Testing (UAT), in all scenarios.

6. Deployment. Hypercare phase.

7. Maintenance. In time, a periodic analysis can show process efficiency and stability and new features can be added to the process, all of this taking part in the support and maintenance phase.

For a first process analysis and a rough estimation (ex. 6 to 12 months), feel free to contact me at: vitaliciupac@gmail.com

There's a reason that ratchets all have the control turn the opposite way: so that if it rubs against something as you operate it, it won't reverse accidentally.
