My favorite part (from a modern anthropological perspective) of this relationship is while there is a height/income relationship with men’s desirability, the amount of income a less attractive woman needs is an incredible multiple to be competitive with a more attractive woman. It speaks in market terms to the lizard brain of the species and what it values (not to mention that women primarily filter by physical attractiveness upfront when selecting but switch to warmth and other personality traits long term). It is the most raw, brutal marketplace experience imho.

This might be rude but... No shit? Maths is a deductive process, as in, you PRODUCE an answer given the problem. It necessitates 'coming up with' an answer.

I think the author is making a fundamental confusion between maths as a class taken in school or uni, and maths as an intellectual discipline. The class is dogmatic and over structured, but that's due to administration pressures, not because mathematics teachers aren't aware of the issue. The discipline, while still adhering to structure, allows for reframing the problem and always has.
There are many cultures that view just being a woman no matter how attractive or successful as unequal.
I stopped reading when I got to the part where it became clear that Scott Alexander was the "Silicon Valley's Sharpest Minds" of the article title. Why not ask Hulk Hogan or Barbara Walters to evaluate Google's AGI?
Seems like this is only going to help attract less intelligent women, because the smart ones will know their offspring won’t be getting genetics for height with someone who is artificially tall. Full speed ahead toward idiocracy.

It's a one-off mutually beneficial agreement. They provide me with the structure, and some chance for networking, along with an office I can work from. I do some consulting for them every now and then, and they take a small fee from every invoice (<10%). For the work visa and permit, its more than worth it. I came by the chance through networking locally.

Two things: I don't watch streams NOR do I play videos higher than 720p. Will the number of ads I see be an accurate reflection of my overall load on their system or will everyone be subjected to this 5->10 commercial barbarism? If this means I don't get ambushed by 5 ads at peak moments mid-stream (requiring me to waste time watching ad AND rewinding...), the ad count is fair reflection of user load, and the money goes to real producers instead of enriching executive quality-of-life or funding some new dystopian censorship corps, then OK.

Yet another company-specific reinvention of a wheel from somebody with too much money and time on their hands, and will be abandoned after a few years.

Documentation is information intended for humans to understand complex topics. Code is information intended for machines to understand complex topics. Code makes shitty documentation. Code is time-consuming, error-prone, nit-picky, and extremely verbose compared to the kinds of tools designed for humans: WISYWIG editors, buttons, windows, graphics, diagrams, audio, video.

Developers today have grown up in a world where doing anything requires writing code. They literally do not understand how to solve problems without writing code. And have even fooled themselves into thinking that writing code is a superior way for humans to solve a problem than clicking a button. So rather than have robust tools that solve our problems, we now only make tools that require us to create our own customized tools to solve our problems. Forever making slapped-together jigs for every project, rather than just buying and using a premade tool.

Confluence is what a documentation-creating solution should be. Not only does it have a WYSIWYG editor, it has custom plugins, rich content, and dynamic components, all of which can be added anywhere, immediately, with a live preview, with no training, no code, no syntax. Simply an interface for an average human to make a beautiful, useful document, quickly and easily.

From their page: "I like Markdoc because it lets us still do anything we want with code in the docs without bogging down the content authoring experience. If we need some new component, designers and engineers can whip that up. So as a writer, I can work in the docs content and stay focused."

You can do the same thing with Confluence. They just had Not-Invented-Here syndrome, and wanted to do something with their excess engineers.
Interesting how it is either the recipient or broader social/cultural attitudes which are blamed, depending on the demographic the recipient belongs to.

I was wondering if that was part of the calculations or not. It's capital that needs to be accounted for if you want to compare energy sources.

The existence of subsidies shouldn't really matter, the end consumer pays for them some way or another and you factor this into the total capital cost.

> It just happens to not be possible because the devs didn't make it so. They could have, but they chose not to.

And then they could change it at any time, as they would be the central authority. There would be not way to stop them from changing it.

Well, thats not true technically. I guess one way that they could implement it, such that they cannot change their mind in the future, would be if the game was run on some sort of decentralized public ledger, with a consensus mechanism.... oh wait, what does that sound like? Oh yeah, we have a word for that. Its called a blockchain.

> Something being on the blockchain does not make it automatically permission-less.

If I read the code, and the code makes it permissionless, the author can't change it later, if the code was written in a way that I can verify that.

Thats the point. Yes, someone can always say "yep, I totally pretty please promise that I won't change anything! Just trust me!"

And it is quite another thing for it to be a smart contract, that verifiably cannot be changed by the original author. Thats the difference.

> (aka an API endpoint) that provides that feature.

> A property that any web service is capable of providing

Oh? A feature, such as a public, immutable ledger, that is decentralized in such a way, using a consensus algorithm (such as PoW or PoS), such that there is no central authority that can change it unilaterally?

That feature? The feature that is, by definition, a blockchain?

Yes, it is true that if you add all the features that a blockchain has, to your software, then by definition it has all the features of the blockchain.

But that makes it a blockchain. You just re-invented the blockchain.

The most common symptom I encounter on indie titles in particular is loading stutter. You can tell when something big is about to happen or you'll see a new enemy type because the game just locks up for a short but perceivable amount of time.

The 2nd Ori game was actually entirely unplayable on my system until I moved it to an SSD due to how it loads assets (don't know the details, but that's my assumption). I couldn't beat the time trials since it'd lock up mid-air due to the amount of map coverage and mess up my flow.

The part you got wrong is that you think they care about decentralization. Very few people in the crypto spare actually care about it. They say they do, but that's only a part of the sales pitch for their own crypto that they pre-mined.

the BTC dev community did (and still do) a lot of bad things, but the one thing they did right is put their foot down on decentralization even if it meant a bad user experience. If it becomes centralized, then it's nothing more than the most inefficient SQL database and there would be no point in using it to being with.
The reality is that to own property you need a means to enforce that ownership. That places a constant forever cost burden on the community at large. You need police to enforce against trespassing, you need a legal system to process and transfer titles of ownership, you need infrastructure that is in part supported by public funds, you need an army to defend against hostile takeovers from foreign powers. This notion that you can own a property and end all ties to your community is ludicrous.

Taxes are completely justifiable to allow you to have these means to enforce your ownership rights.
> Most real payment processors (e.g. banks, merchant services companies) “underwrite” a company BEFORE allowing them to process.

Sounds like there's an opportunity for a Stripe competitor that businesses can somewhat trust to not pull the rug, though that'd be quite the bootstrapping process.
How would they know? Are you divulging the fact that your height is the result of a procedure on the first date? Also are we assuming that women prefer tall men because they want tall children, not because tallness is just an attractive trait? Why would women choose to engage in casual sex with a tall man if their whole goal is to have tall children? Also how does this lead towards idiocracy? If the less intelligent women are sleeping with tech workers, and more intelligent women are sleeping with naturally tall men, then wouldn't we see the offspring of the tech bros + less intelligent women have average intelligence, while the smarter women are having taller, smarter children?

There are so many assumptions being made here. I want to know what the conditions in this hypothetical world are. It sounds fascinating.
> 1) "having everything trading for essentially real money doesn't change that underlying level of engagement." It has been long established that this is absolutely the case. A classic example of this would be Diablo 3's RMAH effectively destroying the game by having the entire economy be driven by real-world profit-seeking grind

It doesn't need to be "real" money, just something people value (even if its in-game assets). But having something at stake definitely does alter the gameplay

Try playing poker for "fun" (without real money), and then agin with money at stake. People play a lot more seriously, the psychology of the game changes.
Ask HN: What Replaced “Pen Pals?”
Back in the early 90s, I was first introduced to the idea of international e-mail penpals. It blew my mind. I had a friend from Australia I could write to, AND a friend from Ukraine. I was just in the freaking SEVENTH GRADE. It was awesome.

Fast forward to today. We can connect with people from all over the world in seconds. But... I haven't had as many deeper connections with people from other countries as I did back then.

Why is this? What happened? What replaced the idea of "pen pals" from that era?

Again, the two things are not mutually exclusive. Most people/orgs can be applying blockchain tech in ways that are not actually useful (or are actively harmful), but that doesn't mean there aren't people in that same space doing novel work that requires new terms in order to communicate with other experts/researchers/developers efficiently and effectively.

It's not that cut and dry. First, does it belong to the Sikh Empire or Jammu Kashmir.

If it belongs to the Sikh Empire, which Punjab does it belong to? If it belonged to Jammu Kashmir does it belong to AJK or JK?

On top of that, if it belonged to JK, did it belong to Kashmir w/ Gulab Singh or Kashmir during the Durrani occupation? If the Durrani Occupation, then which successor of the Durrani state - Afghanistan or Pakistan.

The British Raj provinces in the North (Punjab[0], Sindh[1], Pakhtunkwa[2]) was treated differently than the rest of India. We voted for the Unionist Party [3][4] - not Congress or the PML.

And if I'm being honest (and much more annoyed at this point) you guys left us for slaughter during Partition - Congress, Jan Sangh, the PML, Jamaat-e-Islami, Akali Dal, etc. While Gandhi was in Bengal, where were the rest of the Indian independence leaders when my Mom's side were forced to leave Jhelum? Where were you guys when the Muslims in my dad's village were forced to leave by the sword and bullet (both Zia-ul-Haq's and Imran Khan's biradari/clan were from villages within 40-50 miles from my dad's ancestral village before they were forced to leave)? Why did we try to assasinate Nehru in the refugee camps? Why did we try to assasinate Jinnah in Karachi? Why didn't you guys arrest demagouges like Tara Singh who helped flame this shitshow? The rest of India left us to rot, and then did the same thing in the 1980s and the 1990s.

This is exactly what has happened with my Shopify account. All of sudden, they cut off the account and held the money hostage. This was a month ago and they have yet to give me a reason why. I get one email a week from them, and I have responded to each email with all of the information requested. It's really frustrating. I am not doing anything fraudulent... but I must have triggered something in their system. They had no problems with completely shutting down not only my payments but also my website that I've put hundreds of hours into. I plan on reporting them to the BBB.. once I get my account activated and withdrawal the money. I hope you do the same with Stripe.
This is just patently false. I live in SV and have pretty high living expenses, around $80-90k/year. If I were earning $300k, after 40% effective tax rate and CoL, I'd still save ~$100k. That's far more money in my pocket than the hypothetical Canadian employed me earning $150k, both nominally and especially so after the currency conversion.
That's how I understand it. All I was saying was, state that the diamond is to be split, and whoever refuses and bows out first gets to keep the entire thing, as they would have demonstrated genuine concern for its welfare.

The scenario is obviously not the same - that's the joke. (Which apparently did not land.) The critical difference is: It's better to get part of the diamond than nothing at all. Thus, when any party is presented with the option to take part of it, their only sensible action is to take it. Either it's going to be split anyway, and no one would want to give away their share to the other scoundrels, or all parties are going to come together and refuse to allow it to be split - which leaves us back at the beginning.

The same cannot be said for babies. Who wants part of a baby? Not me

I think that's hilarious. I have to admit to setting my filter to 175cm just to see if there were any tall women in my area. It wasn't a useful filter. But I did really enjoy briefly dating someone over 180cm, we both put everything in the kitchen up high etc. Plus no bending down to hug her.

But counter-anecdote: I visited an ex-gf the other day to borrow something from her new partner, and she actually commented "I forget how tall you are". And it wasn't a positive thing, it was quite explicitly "new boyfriend is my height and it's great". Albeit that's 1.5m vs 1.8m so it's quite a difference.

Maybe we need a rule like "half your age plus 7"... "no more than 10% height difference?"
