I used OkCupid back when OkStats (their statistics blog) still existed (and found my wife, though the 9000 km distance made things harder). But what I quickly realized, was that by simply not being an asshole, you’d get great response rates.

I’d always see "responds rarely" and then get quick responses almost every time. I was an overweight student. When asked, they usually said that most people don’t even give the impression of having read the profile before sending a message.

I wonder if there is still a dating site nowadays that values depth over swiping pictures left/right (I never used Tinder, didn’t even know people used it for dating instead of hookups until a few years ago), from what I’ve heard OKC went further down the instant gratification route as well.

I’m going to leave that DALL-E beta approval email unread like a food delivery recruiter email.
Base load exists on the demand side, it does not exist on the producer side. Base load on the producer side is simply a made up term because the most inflexible power plants of the 1970's were also the cheapest, and thus matched it.
Last time I checked being twat was not illegal, so police should not abuse their position just because majority likes abuse this time.

Armchair defeatist here: Browsers are huge, complicated beasts, the standards are a constant moving target, and websites won't uphold standards.

Yes, PeachPie is a PHP -> .NET compiler/runtime.
I totally agree. Not to sidetrack your assertion, but even Google and Apple do this for their mobiles. Perfectly usable old mobile phones don't run the newer version of the apps at all.

This seems to be more and more prevalent even in other areas like washing machines, microwaves and even cars. I don't get old parts. Even the service technicians throw up their hands and say "Just buy a newer model".
Are you able to share what platform you use for trading, and any regular reliable sources of information you use?

What is honest about Magnus in this situation?

He hasn’t even said anything. All he has done is taken cryptic unexplained actions and released cryptic unexplained tweets.

If Magnus believes Hans cheated (again, that’s a big if because Magnus hasn’t said anything) and Magnus is actually correct that he cheated, even in that situation Magnus’s entire set of actions since he lost have been highly dishonest, since his entire communication strategy has been to leave cryptic messages that people can read anything into, without yet having made any clarifying statements.
Mathematics has a language, but it has a bunch of conclusions using said language too.

I don't think you can argue how mathematical theorems are not "scientific theory": the language part comes from all the definitions and axioms, but there is a whole theory built on top of it.

On your other statement, I never said mathematics is the theory of science, but rather, a scientific theory: so of course we had science before we formalized and names mathematics mathematics. It's only loosely based on reality (as a driver for many — but not all — definitions and concepts), just like other scientific theories are based on our perceived reality.

We need to get out of gas anyway due to the global warming.

We also can't keep being vulnerable to Russian black mail.

We need to increase investment in renewable power and build more nuclear power plants.
The comment that started this thread though was about rich people being able to just pay the tax which is relatively smaller to them. Hence the idea to couple it to income.
You both get upvotes because a well-time and executed momma joke is a rare gem.
You can read the parent comment more charitably.

> free love stuff didn't really make their prospects of a good family better

Both men and women are propagating this culture of free-love, but it's potentially unfulfilling and leaves people believing their prospects are better than they really are. A woman will sleep with a handsome chiseled burger flipper who doesn't want kids or responsibility; but will that same woman want to marry them?

> it will be on [Women] to change course.

The parent states that the power is mostly on the side of Women here, the parent is just saying that change will not come from Men. Because after all; if all Men did what is within their power: then not very much would actually change; Women drive what is acceptable.
I'm pretty sure I could write a bot that would accurately simulate any nuclear energy topic on HN.

The pro-nuclear people will argue any extreme incidents are just outliers that can be ignored, the high cost of construction is completely artificial and regulatory in nature, the high cost to build is just because we don't build enough of them, all the waste (from processing and from fuel) are solved problems, we need a base load in the grid and the time to build isn't an issue.

The anti-nuclear people will point out the devastating failure modes, no nuclear plant has been built without massive government support, in places like the US the costs of nuclear clean up in case of accidents is actually capped by legislation so the government is bearing these costs too, if base load is real hydro power is better, fuel waste needs can't just be locked in a cave (eg for years or decades it needs to be actively cooled because it generates heat), transport of fuel and waste introduces risk of accidents and mamlfeasance, humans are terrible at managing long-term and low-probability high-impact risk, nobody wants to live near a nuclear power plant and that the plummetting cost of renewables make nuclear increasingly uneconomic.

Rinse and repeat.
are there bots in HN or who downvotes quoted article to help people to read it without clicking to dismiss sign up screen?
It's quite a paradox; Java is really fast if you keep allocations down, but Java "best practices" often involve tons of object creation.

It can also be quite hard to find out if your code will be fast or not because there are a whole bunch of rules to determine if and when your Java code will be compiled to machine code or executed through JIT. Not having a way to find out if the compiler is smart enough to cache certain values or optimize some boilerplate code away like you can with native compilers is quite annoying sometimes.
Olkiluoto 3 is built by a private company to provide power for a consortium of industry companies, no lowest bidder in sight. Still the same issue though, wonder if it's nuclear that is hard or public procurement?

> Something to ask yourself: Did the Nazis just magically fade? Or did people perhaps do things to counter them? And did that Nazis do any harm while people were waiting for them to fade on their own?

We're talking about whether taking actions against speech is warranted, not whether actions against people taking actions like ethnic cleansing are warranted.

> How did the ethnic cleansing happen? A lot of verbal abuse and threats on the part of white people, with occasional outbursts of violence.

And the violence is the key part. If you had no possibility of violence against you, any threats are empty. The actions are the important part not the speech.
>It’s perfectly fine to think prostitution is a bad thing that shouldn’t be encouraged

There are two problems here. First is that US has a long history of trying to handle the problem by prosecuting the victims (sex workers) instead of offenders (clients). Another is that this happens to be usually justified using religious gibberish.
> In Finland, Hydro combined with wind should take care of baseload.

Nuclear and hydro are the baseload generation in Finland at the moment and will be far into the future. Hydro is also used to handle peaks. Imports are mostly hydro too.
I think you are right about the symptoms but misdiagnosed the disease.

Unfortunately I think our minds cannot comprehend how much wealth has been created in the world in the last 30-40 years, and how many rich people that's created out of the 8bn world population.

Something like 1.4m americans have a net worth above $10m. 1.4m!!! And that's just the US. Can you imagine how many millionaires the world has created? Now imagine how much real estate actually exists in the city centers of large cities in the world. Not that much. Especially in popular cities. Nowhere near enough for this wealth to go into.

This isn't about oligarchs, or rich dictators. There's nothing illegal going on here (there is a little, but its negligible).

It's the world population and the wealth we've created. It's insane. A lot of people have gotten very rich.

No biggie, just overbuild 3 times your capacity, replace all cars with electric cars (including the current ones that do not have this capacity), build storage (on the scale of which has never been seen before), make a miraculous, worldwide, no loss grid and use methods which have absolutely dreadful energy efficiency (P2G2P ? Hydrogen. Cool. I like losing 70% of my energy too)

Needless to say, the sheer need for resources to build all this will make the current state of global warming and climate change look like child's play compared to earth after.

Holy shit, how hard is it for zealots to understand and accept that our best, realistic solution to electrifying as much as possible is through a combination of nuclear and renewables, something that literally every competent actor has said time and time again ?
Prevalence of dating apps also generated unprecedented amount of data that revealed people's dating habits and preferences.
Chess.com must be really struggling for money if they have to wait for a non accusation of OTB cheating to run their anti-cheating algorithms on a player’s games.

Which they obviously aren’t. Which means that they have found nothing new in the “review”.

The more obvious answer is that Magnus is pissed, and as a part owner of chess.com and biggest draw in tennis, chess.com wants his continued participation and so is kicking Hans out.

They may have justification for it, but it was clearly not enough of a justification to act on before Magnus decided to get all pissy on losing.
"Is it a lucky coincidence that mathematical and physical reality can be formulated in terms of our current cognitive abilities, or is it just that, tautologically, we cannot conceive of any aspects of mathematical and physical reality that cannot be formulated in terms of our cognitive capabilities?"

This nails it.

Also, I have a simpler take: we acknowledge the limits of our perceptions (ex: can't see behind your head) and we have studied them in detail (ex: blind spot in the eye, where the optic nerve goes) but we haven't done nearly as much for our cognition. Why?

It is true, but it does not change the fact that it is a worthwhile effort just to force some level of differentiation on the browser scene.
Yeah. You can be sure that 60,000+ plugin authors and 50% of the web that use WordPress and those plugins will just allow that.
Thought there always have been a subset throughout history. The issue nowadays is about social pressures and perceived lack of a more fair market whomever the participant may be.
I've been using this app off and on for the past year with my seven year old. He likes it and is able to use it himself with our iPad Pro. It identifies the bricks pretty well but it's not perfect. We've been able to make a number of things but it does give you builds that you cannot make.
You'd probably come across better if you avoided having both russophobia and bigoteering in one post. One or the other would just imply you have strong opinions, both implies something much less value-neutral.

If the last line was self-criticism reflecting that the russophobia is inconsistent with OP's request I apologize, that's not clear from your wording.
I don't think that's true, that it's fear of imprisonment etc. Such things definitely matter, but I think the reason for the lack of political assassinations is the same as why we don't get horrible viruses that spread like wildfire and kill Ebola (which I believe to be that bioscience professors aren't usually very evil).

People who could easily murder politicians and others just don't want to. Perhaps they don't hate them all that much, perhaps they like democracy even though it puts people they dislike into high positions, perhaps they're opposed to murder.

We don't see mortar or drone attacks using image recognition (instead of radio control which could conceivably fail if basic precautions had been taken) on presidents and prime ministers in Europe even though such attacks would be trivial and the perpetrators would probably have a decent chance of getting away. It's because people don't hate them all that much and because the people who hate them a lot don't see such attacks as politically productive.

Presumably the reason unfriendly countries don't perform such attacks against those governments that oppose them is that it's not politically productive and would lead to a negative reaction instead of just removing the people the unfriendly country would like to be rid of.
I don't think they care about typical IT things

For a language that builds much of its marketing around solving the "two language problem", it is somewhat ironic that they then turn around and create their own two language problem by ignoring most of the problems most programmers have.
They have a "Starter" plan for $9/month and list "Small business" and "creative professionals" as their use cases. I wouldn't say they pivoted to big enterprise. They just pivoted to B2B in general and gave up on the consumer facing "indie-YouTube" side.
Getting rid of the outrageous tuition fees would mean laying off hundreds of administrative staff at every single university. Now you’ve got cheap tuition but hundreds of thousands of unemployed people. What do you do about that? Sounds like a political nightmare.

The financial incentives of dating apps are just bad. To make money you have to keep your (male) users on the platform and make them desperate enough so they pay. This is contrary to their mission statement and I can't see how people working on these apps aren't cynical.

I don't think it is super great for the receivers of those likes either as most matches are of poor quality and won't result on anything serious. I once tried the "friend" feature of Bumble and I got so many matches that I gave up.

I feel the market is ready for something else, but it would need to come from a non profit for it to not repeat the same mistakes.
Isn't that just being genuine? Representing, and demonstrating, at the highest level how corrupt the system is? Representation is his job, isn't it?
I'll bet it'd work if you used an HTTP proxy that the downgraded the modern protocols and encodings.

Though for general purpose browsing, the modern stuff like HTML5 / CSS3 / ES6+ would make it somewhere between unusable and nonfunctional.
Your very comment would be enough to turn off 60,000+ plugin developers and 50% of the web who uses WordPress. Nobody likes anything being forced on them there. Less, non-prominent OSS projects trying to force their way in through such arrogance.
It does, but in a roundabout way. You can create a private branch, keep committing to it and when you're ready, merge it to the public branch with a single commit message.

IMHO, this solves all issues in a very elegant way - my local repository shows all the commits (both private and public) but everyone else's shows all the commits as intended by the developers. Additionally, the public history is maintained consistently without wondering if someone messed it up.

Yes, they are. And even if the project fails (for any definition of failure), putting hundreds of people in contact with production quality core browser code is worth it.

Also, lightweight browsers have been a dying breed for a while, if ladybird ends up as a more modern alternative to surf and Dillo, I'm already satisfied.
The Britisch delegation insisted on a hard Brexit time after time. It's what they got. Just like how EU residents who move outside of the EU lose the right to a .EU, the Brits did too.

Base load is not what you're describing. You're describing total demand. 'Base load' is the minimum in the demand curve over some multi-day time period. It is not a 'real' curve you see anywhere except in a split of how different energy producers vary their output, and generally applies to nuclear and coal only. It's not something you 'need to address', you can meet the total demand curve without having any producer look like 'base load'. (And if you're thinking of some hypothetical minimum energy usage at which society could still function, but at a lower level, you'll find that this curve is also not flat over time and is not base load).
Yup. Magnus does.

Which makes all the comments using chess.com’s actions as evidence kind of pointless.

That being said, Magnus is the biggest draw in chess. So even if he didn’t have part ownership of chess.com, most tournaments would be willing to sacrifice a rather unlikable and unknown player to not piss off Magnus.
This is encouraging because I too plan to make my own browser engine.
While common knowledge says that building a new browser is "too big, too hard", I'm excited that some intrepid people are tackling this problem and wish them success!
But the question was literally about remote development work. Unclear why so many people decided to use it to make random criticisms of the US. Or perhaps it is very clear why.
Not exactly Finland problem ...

And otherwise it means the price will have to be calculated once all EPR variant come online since it’s essentially the cost of restarting production after a 40 years gap and loss of expertise.

In my experience they are commonly used in outdoors. Obviously being indoors with double-glazed windows and heating the space is more efficient than being outdoors with a radiant heater.
I have also had better luck by reading and referencing OkCupid profiles.

My last relationship lasted 7 years, so it wasn't a terrible match.

Going back to look at it though: I put a lot of effort into my messages, maybe 2-3 per day because each message took about 20-30 minutes to craft; but my response rate was about 1:10 and my date rate was ~about 1:100.

Maybe one date every 2-3 months is so few that you put a lot of effort into each one and then, likely, come across as desperate, even if you click.
That made my day. Go ladybird!

Lol social media is full of videos? well thats me convinced. Even if that were the case it doesn't even matter, Putin cannot and will not loose this war.

I see no need to respond to your hysterical misrepresentation of my point. Holding an opinion on an issue that is not yours does not mean i immediately support the exact opposite. Again, no nuance with you at all. Again, I am against the war. Putins resolve is far stronger than the wests and whether you like it or not Putin is winning the war.

I disagree. Math is a language completely invented by humans to describe reality as they perceive it.

It's an extremely sophisticated language, beautiful even but a language nonetheless.

For e.g., an apple existed before the word or even language was invented. Similarly, the physical reality around us existed without the language to describe existed.
Prices can't possibly do rationing? The point is for everyone to get a baseline amount of something necessary, not for rich people to hoard it.

> Definitely, but how do you feel about locking that in for the next 35 years? Given that the wholesale price usually hovers around €30-50/MWh depending on energy mix.

- €30-50/MWh is the price of intermittent, uncontrollable renewable enegy.

- Continue to burn cheap Russian gas emitting CO2 and funding dictators for the next 35 years can not be part of the solution.

- If what we aim is controllable low carbon energy at reasonable price, the answer become obvious and contain at least partially is Nuclear energy

I have a feeling that the programme may have been written and presented by Nigel Calder, former editor of the New Scientist. I'm having no luck tracking down the documentary itself, though. The title might be "The Key To The Universe", for which I've seen a couple of reviews that are consistent with the show I remember.

He seems to have published a book of the same title. The show was screened in 1977, possibly twice, and the show is indeed two hours long. I have a review here that says: "Level: popular science, but viewers without some knowledge of high-energy physics would be handicapped". That sounds about right (when I saw it, my knowledge of high-energy physics was roughly zero, and it's not much better now).
I don't think I understand what you're saying, can you explain?
Apparently Cisco's great if you deploy a couple of them, everything working seamlessly together with one management software. If you pony up for their licenses that is.
