> or exchange numbers

Okay, finally a place I can ask this. I hope you and others can explain. Why would exchanging numbers (or Snap accounts, etc.) with someone be a goal? You already have a way to communicate! I understand moving to in-person dating, but not to another way to text.

> I'd rather be quick to move to that stage, and be more selective about who I think I might want to spend a first-date hour with.

I think either you mistyped the funnel or I misread it. You make it sound like a first-date hour (or so) is given freely and first-date evenings are rarer. Which sounds reasonable, but also seems contradicted by the part I quoted.
And yet adoption exists. When a parent comes with their adopted child to the doctor, we don't expect the doctor to say "No, this person is not your dad, he's your guardian. You don't have the same chromosomes, you can't make me deny this biological reality." If the doctor insisted on saying that and on refusing to use the word "parent" or "dad" when referring to the father, we might indeed infer that the doctor is adoption-phobic.

> Why would or should men be included in something they are excluded from by nature, by biology, and by logic?

If we're including "trans men" in the category of "men" (and I think there are good reasons to do so, the same way we accept adoption as real parentage), then there indeed exists an edge case of people in the category of "men" getting pregnant.
They already comment on the typical results of the popular vote with that story of Pontius Pilate and the resulting crucificaion of their savior, though. Just to make the point that it needs a god/leader/church instead of the people to make the right choices, but anyway...

At least we can pinpoint Twitter at having finally arrived at the level of a roman emperor's decadent way of giving to the people games with a wave of his hand after killing the senate and letting his personal troops run the place instead.

There might be hints towards similarities and broader application of that same concept connected to the other main character of the same twitter story...
Many American homes receive 240V, with the right wiring and plugs you can use a 240V electric kettle in the USA just fine. You may need to import a European kettle and rewire it to a standard American 240V socket (or use one of those travel adaptors but that may be dangerous). These sockets are already used for high power devices like car chargers, AC, and other heavy electrical equipment. Your kitchen may even have one intended for induction cooking that you can use.

Don't be foolish like some and have 240V wired to a standard plug, though! NEMA 6-15 and 6-20 exist just so you don't mistake your beefed up socket for a normal American socket and fry your devices/zap yourself or others.
I really don't agree with what you're saying here. Why do you automatically assume that every single one of these people is there unwillingly? Why would they pose for the camera with Elon with smiles on their faces? You want to claim that not only are they there unwillingly that they're lying to everyone about their emotions as well. They had the option of leaving the company with a 3 month severance pay.

And no H-1B is not the reason. You can find new jobs under an H-1B. You're not restricted to a single company and can change companies.
Going to ask a naive and possibly lazy question. On macOS does this replace Homebrew and MacPorts? I used to use MacPorts, now Homebrew. However, I’m thinking of switching back to MacPorts due to how painful using prior package versions is in Homebrew; sometimes I can’t run bleeding edge versions, and Homebrew’s all or nothing approach to versions isn’t working for me anymore.

I use Python with a few key native packages that are a pain to build myself (NumPy, GDAL primarily). Should I be considering Nix instead of MacPorts?
Sure, what's so special about it?

Can you build cross platform libs? So like say you have python or java that calls out to some native code (ex: high performance math routines), but that native code is actually "cosmopolitan"/crossplatform?
My comment on that guide is that it expects everyone to run the latest version of Python. Last time I made a package following it, it turned out to be unusable in practice. I had to go back to setup.py and hunt down old guides and copy-paste parts from known-good packages to get something that was working for everyone involved. I'm not even talking about Python 2 (which can still be found in the wild). Something like Python 3.5 is still very common out there

This is not a bad thing. We are grassland creatures and we get rid of trees to make space for grass... much like elephants do. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/288395221_Why_do_el...

From grassland ecosystem perspective, trees are a disease that block sunlight from reaching the ground... and reduce biodiversity.
The only reason that redefinitions such as this are being proposed (and in many places, accepted) is so that some men can claim to be women, and to twist law and policy around such claims.

So, as a consequence of this, we now have men in women's prisons, men in women's sports, men in women's shelters, and so on. Is this really a beneficial concession to be made?
Are you talking from your experience as an unattractive person? I've met lots of average and attractive people that have a very warped perception of what being unattractive actually is like, and they say similar things. But then reality teaches you something completely differently.

My experience is that getting along while chatting on an app has had zero correlation with how well I get on with someone on an actual date.

Also, for me, working out what to say on a dating app to someone I don’t know is a lot of effort. It might easily take me an hour to think of an appropriate reply. A date is actually less time wasted than 2-3 days of texting for me.
Organic mercury compounds are extremely nasty byproducts of industry. Their badness is largely due to their high bioavailability i.e. they are readily absorbed into our tissues. Inorganic mercury salts, by contrast, tend to have very low bioavailability which limits absorption even in environments with significant background quantities. The toxicity is as much a function of bioavailability as it is presence in the environment. This fungus dramatically changes the bioavailability of mercury compounds in the environment.

There are many highly toxic elements in our environment that are effectively a non-issue due to low bioavailability. In one end and out the other with minimal absorption.

As far as your points, she did try to choose which fans got tickets -- the sale was a "pre-sale" to fan club members who has pre-registered, not the general public.

You are asking to have it both ways. TicketMaster is not the problem, it is the result of decades of influencing the market, the way you'd want it, such that it appears that tickets are available and affordable while in reality, it helps artists and venue owners maximize their revenue. It functions so well, it won out over all other competitors and consolidated its grip on the industry.

You want to eliminate TicketMaster? Simply be willing to sell tickets purely by supply and demand, the way the stock market works. I can buy 1000 shares of AMZN for less commission than a single concert ticket (and AMZN will never be sold out, the market will always "respond to demand" -- your words), because there's no artificial "influence."

Because it is the next step on the way to exclusivity.

On the dating platform you are one of potentially hundreds (or thousands) of message chains and easily overlooked. In their phonebook you are most likely not.

In theory yes, but reality is more complicated.

This makes sense based on my experiences with Alexa.

Regarding hot/crazy: if you try dating in a heavily fished (heavily sorted) environment like online dating, a person of modest looks (me) is likely to meet highly attractive persons only if they have some flaw that keeps them ‘in circulation’

On the other hand, meeting more attractive persons in real life proved much less biased. YMMV

All that said, very attractive persons can go a little crazy from the stares and clumsy approaches that follow them everywhere they go. To the point that they avoid public places like coffee shops or feel uneasy about going to the grocery store or even to work. So don’t do those things its not nice
"Good relationships are based on similarity of values, however that is harder to quantify."

At least on OkCupid there are lots of value questions.

Still, one of the problems that I've run in to is that while I've answered thousands of questions, I'll get matched with someone who's only answered (say) 100 questions, and we're supposedly a 96% match.

Most people just don't answer very many questions, so it's hard to gauge compatibility from such a poor sample.

Chatting with someone you don’t know over text is hard. You somehow have to capture their interest while having no idea what they’re interested in. In person, it’s much easier to get over this initial hump as you can try a bunch of topics quickly until you find one that’s interests both of you, and get much better feedback on the form of body language.
Then artists may discover that art defined in this way is only part of what is considered as art nowadays. It is quite curious - is it half of it? 1%? 75%? 0.1%?

Also:

> Artists are the people who define art, much as scientists get to define what science is.

Not really, that is not how language works. As far as language goes, it is defined by more wider community.

See poor cryptologists and meaning of word "crypto", one more victim of other bunch of events.
In other words : You cannot redefine

Not just analogue clocks! In Europe we had our digital clocks run late for quite a while after a power crisis resulting from some political energy dispute in Serbia/Kosovo dropped the frequency for a while. This caused all manner of clocks to run late by five minutes or more. They even intentionally cranked up the frequency for a while to bring those clocks back in sync.

Alarm clocks, microwave clocks, all manner of time indicators without sync mechanism built in were affected because relying on Europe's near perfect 50 Hz grid frequency is pretty damn cheap.

You need about 500C for steam turbines to be good, and the relatively weak heat won't last.

Funny how the obvious needs to be explained to other humans.

Judging the quality of art is subjective to a vastly larger degree than the quality of science.

If you threw away all the art and literature and waited 250 years, what you ended up with wouldn’t be a regeneration of that art.

If you threw away all the science knowledge and waited 250 years, most of the same science would regenerate.
It’s a great interface. I’m sure Retool can compete on something more salient than their interface.
In general your idea is good: why use a costly resource when a more affordable one does just as good?

But the author (glumly) counters this: so many consumers of truffle receive the substitute which isn't quite as good, and they think that's the true taste of truffles, but it isn't. So they walk away from the experience thinking they've experienced the taste of truffles, but they really haven't.

If the truffle substitutes were exactly as good, then your point would hold, but in the case of truffles, at least according to the author, the substitutes don't have the same taste or aroma, or may be truffle but a less palatable species.

You don't have to lift a horse to take it with you, they move on their own (that's what makes them so useful), are domesticated and will follow you when properly handled.

And in that sense, there is no threat. People will still be able to make any of the things they do now as a form of self expression.

But much of art is created as a commercial work, and it is that market that AI may threaten.

This is true of any field where workers are at risk of being replaced. People aren't going to be prevented from engaging in that activity, but it will become harder or impossible to do so commercially.

I'm not a fan of using a cli to boot a docker image. I found out that it's possible to find the base docker-compose images with a bit of searching, but it'd be nicer if the documentation links to them directly.
I don't know. I am afraid that article is bullshit. So it doesn't make sense to give an answer to your question.

This aside, let me give some examples about geothermy. In Iceland and in New Zealand it is possible to get hot water from the ground without deep drillings. In Switzerland there was a failed project about geothermy, because the drill down to the granite bedrock at a depth of about 2700 m and deeper caused an earthquake. People in Basel are very sensitive because it was a location of an huge earthquake 1356.

In other words, we don't need to drill so deep at all. YAGNI.
> Why would exchanging numbers (or Snap accounts, etc.) with someone be a goal?

If you think of apps as locations, you are switching from "meeting at the bar"(dating app) to going somewhere where you both spend more time "happily" (some other app/messaging). A lot of people used to swipe like two sessions a day, but would be texting/snapchatting all day. So you are inviting that person to be more present in your days.

It signals that you are willing to take one small step towards something vs. "just chatting on tinder"
> But much of art is created as a commercial work, and it is that market that AI may threaten.

Not only that! People creating as a hobby typically want an audience.

And unlike weightlifting it may be really hard to have people interested in process rather than in outcome.
How can you be so sure that the popular dating platforms behave ethically?

On all the most popular platforms the match algorithms are determining who you get to see. You cannot simply browse all profiles anymore and make a decision for yourself. This alone is enough to put it near scam territory.

There are various paid boosters users can buy to appear over of other matches, making it more of a marketplace than a neutral matching platform.

Plus, there is no incentive for platforms to match people into monogamous long-term relationships. A happy customer is a leaving customer.
HR doesn't get to pick the management (or most other roles for that matter), they are essentially secretaries to see that the legal framework is followed. Yes even in Europe (I'm in Norway).
Hmm that's a tricky one. I guess there was one situation where one of the clients we built a website for turned out to be a scammer/con artist who got arrested for forex fraud. I guess our work in making their site look/function as well as possible sadly helped them gain customers to rip off, and gave them a false sense of legitimacy. But no one there knew the customer's company was a dodgy operation, so I guess hindsight is everything there.

I guess there have also been a few previous companies I worked on sites for that weren't exactly the most ethical operations overall.

But I don't think I can recall ever working on anything that was used for surveillance, or that itself was built for unethical ends. It's usually things associated with questionable companies that I didn't really know were questionable.
https://www.gocomics.com has been down for me as well. I assume this is the site being mentioned or are they being served from elsewhere? What common bit of the net has wandered off?

Your quote doesn't address the self-selection question.

In fact, taking that paper, it suggests that males are about 30-100% or even more more likely to enroll in an ECS major across the range of math scores.

For example, among those participants with a math score of 700, about 15% of females vs 30% of males end up enrolling in an ECS major.
I'd say that people question the potential of any new technology. "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home" quote attributed to Ken Olsen of DEC is one of my favourite examples. The general aversion to change leads to deprciation/ignoring the adavantages and over-exposing of risks - just like you perfectly captured it in this passage "mechanical birds throwing us off cliffs".
It's not your stomach, it's your mind. To some degree as you adjust, your body may feel poisoned because your experience is so strange.

The trick to hassle free tripping:

In the morning have something very small. A short coffee and a pastry. Don't eat for 4-5 hours - non-negotiable. Eat your shrooms with a very small amount of water and maybe one or two crisps (or chips if you're from the US.)

Go sit down and relax :)

You will, with 95% certainty, feel absolutely fine.

Having food in your stomach triggers a need to expel it. Truffles are also rough on your stomach, but that's their nature, not the good stuff.
FWIW, the eagle footage was edited to the point of disbelief, though it is sort of half real. The eagle was trained, and though wild Golden Eagles are known to attack prey up to 100lbs., they do not throw goats off cliffs nor can they carry them back to their nest. It's a shame that David Attenborough used this footage because it is bullshit.
