> I don't see this as likely to get anywhere near the amount of attention and funding from various governments and organizations around the world as it would if it were affecting female health.

Which is understandable in the end, male expendability is a thing. As long as it doesn't affect literally all males, it's a health issue and a social problem, but it's not a "humanity will cease to exist" problem; the men who are less affected can father more children.

If reproduction was limited because women's infertility exploded, it would be a different issue. The ones who are fertile can't simply bear 50 babies in a year to make up for it.
Getting plenty of deep sleep is crucial too. Sleep deprivation is murder on test levels.
"they want the population to decline"

Who is "they"?
Glancing through the results, some only have really awkward arrangements, like 29 or 47. There was never officially a 47-star flag - the 47th and 48th states, New Mexico and Arizona, were admitted about a month apart, and the flag only updates on July 4. There were some 47-star flags made, though - mostly in New Mexico - and it looks like they mostly did 6-by-8 rectangle with one star missing and the corresponding row shifted.

There was officially a 29-star flag for a year (between the admission of Iowa and Wisconsin), though. These rules suggest 10+9+10, which won't work in practice; some cursory Internet research suggests that some people used 8+7+6+8 and some people just did all sorts of weird things.
Twitter ran ALL its infra for $1.7B in 2021. It made $5B in revenue that years, and was profitable with gross profit margin of 20+%.
Your calculations are full of shit. And trying to fire 50% of the workforce and have the rest leave because the ship is sinking still doesn't make sense.
To top it off, if your major problem is infra cost you don't fire engineers, you task engineers to reduce infra costs.
> opening up immigration options

Unless they are getting immigrants from off world, that is at best a game of musical chairs. Birth rates are plummeting globally.
I think it's frankly weird to see what is clearly a male health issue and make a jab at women's health funding when its not like the article was talking about comparing to women's issues. This is very whataboutism.
You think those elections were fair, that's cute. The 80%+ referendum rates sure are validated by the blue and yellow flags being waved when the Ukrainians return.

Anyways, obviously no point arguing anymore.
And hope when you age out, you keep your mental faculty strong enough you don’t get taken advantage of.

Musk posted news of his visit there by showing a video clip of the pool on the Apple campus. No evidence of the two even meeting in person as peers. I get the sense that if this was a friendly visit there would've been a shot of the two CEOs together. It makes me wonder if he even got into the same room with Cook.

Cook made no mention at all of meeting with the CEO of the fifteenth-largest social network.
The Chinese government also wouldn't be able to run those fabs without ongoing support from ASML and other key foreign vendors. The production machinery is extremely complex with many specialized parts and a significant software component. Reverse engineering and duplicating everything would take years.

I wonder how much of it has to do with COVID. It's been well known even asymptotic COVID cases can harm mens' reproductive health.
> other than Matt Levine, his coverage has been flawless

Yet the takeaway from Matt Levine is consistently that they're fucking idiots, not fraudsters. That nobody bothered to count the money. They didn't transfer customer funds to Alameda, but instead used Alameda bank account for customer deposits because FTX didn't have one. Then they didn't bother to do any accounting to notice the money was disappearing.

ML paints them as more likely to be morons than hucksters knowingly perpetrating a fraud? Or, I've misread all of his recent columns.
i would think it trains to produce more. Woody allen was wrong?
I suspect that the hand tools made in China aren't low quality because China doesn't have the tech to make them better, but instead because making cheap low quality tools is more profitable.

In fact, when taking apart China-made, China-designed products, I am frequently very impressed at cost-cutting measures that are taken with minimal impact on the functionality of the product.
Yes, you use 'rpm-ostree' to install and manage regular dnf packages, or local .RPM files.

The limitations are:

1) Each invocation of the package manager (install/upgrade/uninstall, the usual stuff) results in a new OS 'commit' and requires a reboot to switch to it.

This is the entire point of the distro (random .rpm broke your system? just rollback), and is why Silverblue users generally only use DNF packages for low-level tools and run regular applications as flatpaks, appimages, or podmans.

2) Occasionally you'll run into a package that wants to write to a folder that Silverblue made read-only and version-controlled, and breaks. In that case your only options are to run the package inside a toolbox (a special Podman container that comes with Silverblue for these scenarios), or patching the package.
Those are all interesting concepts; I'm curious to understand better how you think they're very related.

Active knowledge appears to be the kind of knowledge that someone gains from recently having worked on something, which fades after you don't work on it for a while. Annoyingly, the author doesn't provide a concrete example of what they mean but I interpret it to be something like fast recall of the finer or subtler details about the system. For example, "ah, that error code usually means your VPN has disconnected itself".

Tacit knowledge is intuitive knowledge that's difficult to express in simple terms. For example, being good at creating novel algorithms to solve difficult data problems. Some of it can be learned from a guide but a lot comes down to naturally just "seeing" a solution. I suppose that having a large amount of active knowledge might correlate with having tacit knowledge.

Conceptual integrity is a property of a system rather than a person. It's to do with how coherent the design and functionality of the system is. Not really sure how this relates to the above. I suppose you could say that a well-designed system does not require as much tacit knowledge to operate?

Programming as theory building is about how the programmer builds an internal model of how a system operates. Again not really sure how it ties in with active knowledge, although I can see that one's internal model might gradually fade over time.
Just realized it would enable better debugging and better support for running the same on CPUs multi threaded too ! Nice !
The neat thing about the functional design of Nix is that you don't have to reinvent the wheel: just make better steering.

Everything about Nix can be trivially refactored. Every part is neatly isolated from the rest.
Unless libraries are receiving a copy of the meta representation of the program and running integer equality relations over the dataflow chains, then no, not really.
Certainly for some people. I just prefer the tradeoff of carefully curating my taskbar at the expense of my tab list.

I (over)use the keyboard shortcut of windows key+# (so win+1 switches the focus to the first application icon on the taskbar, win+2 the second, etc), and I've got muscle memory of which applications are pinned to each place. Plus, I've already got the muscle memory of how to get to the various websites I keep open.
Yes. Even if every country in the world “banned” it. It would still be used as such.
Healthy lifestyle and excercise... but I also got an injection prescribed by the doctor as mine was very low (below healthy range both regular and free test). She said that I may have more will for physical excercise after that, so it may help me to get to a point when I can maintain proper levels myself.
There's something weird about cost-cutting metrics where they just aren't as impactful as they sound. FB has enough money floating around that many teams will write big systems inefficiently in the name of "moving fast" and then go back to optimize later. This is also a hack for performance reviews as you get to claim impact twice - once for making the thing, and again for saving XX million dollars (even though it's just cleaning up your own mess). Management is somewhat aware of this hack.

I would say at FB it's shockingly easy to find a 10 million dollar efficiency win if you're looking for one, and I certainly shipped multiple things in that range. This wasn't really the probability team's charter though so they wouldn't get fully rewarded for it.

The probability team had some genius engineers working hard on some very interesting long-term investments, but AFAIK they hadn't really shipped any of their core products so they were a good target for layoffs. I am shocked FB fired the engineers instead of just moving them around though...
Also for MacOS and I was wondering what benefits Recoll would give. From the website:

> It seems that Recoll will sometimes find data that Spotlight misses (especially inside pdfs apparently, which is probably more to the credit of poppler than recoll itself).
That solves the Fermi Paradox.
Rather than play something like this, there are many chess variants that people could try instead. Like Hexagonal Chess [1]. No one has written engines for them or otherwise invested huge amounts of time and effort in research. So you can be reasonably certain that your opponent isn't using an engine to score a cheap win against you.

It is categorically NOT a huge win for the stock. This is all happening because of US subsidies.

The US has more expensive workers who are overall worse at the job and don't have the expertise to be compete with the people in Taiwan.

The subsidies only make this a viable option for political reasons. The decision to create a fab in Arizona is strictly speaking unprofitable and essentially a economically irrational move for the company.

It is ONLY being done because of US demand and political tension from China. For a shareholder this move is not good when looking at it in terms of profit.

I know this is a hard pill to swallow but it's true.

Don't joke about Europe. The best place for tsmc to expand is actually china. But this won't happen for various reasons that we all know about.

Along with the rise of age of adulthood and general hysteria, i would think they are all correlated.

But whether sperm counts are falling or not we need more funding towards artificial reproduction and extracorporal pregnancies, it s such a non-brainer for our fragile and unique species.
I referred to the pyramid scheme that we have designed, where people have children and said children work to fund the retirement and pension of old people.

Old people could just accept their death, and pass away peacefully instead of burdening the society with their existence while actively causing harm to younger generations with votes on matters whose consequences they will not experience.
Not having the option forces companies like Facebook to play by some simple rules.

Having the option would mean that many apps that are currently available through the App Store, and therefore broadly trustworthy, would suddenly become side-load-only and follow basically no rules at all.
Why do so many companies these days just not value their customers at all?

My mistake, thanks for the correction.

I parsed it as "(not complex), (hard to verify), and (easy to game)".

I think I would have taken the author's meaning better if they used "or" or "nor" in place of "and".
I get reliably downvoted for suggesting this, but we need vastly better labelling across the board. We give companies a lot of leeway when it comes to selling things to put in and on our bodies without us, owners of said bodies, having any way of finding out what the hell is in their products, or where they came from, or how they were processed. It absolutely baffles me how everyone doesn't want considerably more information and transparency about our foods and cosmetics.
While maybe not impossible, it is quite hard to cox Nix to "install" multiple different versions of the packages. They all cannot be in your path at the same time.

I still encourage you to give it a try. You can build different versions of same package and not "install" them. Instead just execute the binary from the built version (I do this where I have a built-but-not-installed version of openssh-8.6 laying around because I have an old service that modern SSH no longer supports).

You can also run `nix-shell -p <custom-package-version>` to get a shell with a specific package available in the path, overtop of whatever might be globally installed.

Who knows, you might even be tempted to dip your toes into the Nix language by writing a custom `shell.nix` to build a shell with some more complex development environment, or to simply automate a complex `nix-shell -p` command.
The EU generally delegates enforcement of directives to national governments, since governments like Hungary's would not vote to give the EU the powers and budget necessary to hold such governments to account.
Sure; you can do most Datalog things in SQL and most SQL things in Datalog. But I find it much clearer to express deductive reasoning in Datalog. I built a toy Datalog-to-CTE compiler at https://perceval.jake.tl if you want to play with some examples of the equivalence.
Or solve it a different way. I don't think your users care. It doesn't change the fact that it's a limiting factor right now.
n=1 but with my daughter we had issues and ended up resorting to IVF.

During the "issues" phase my count was tested and was considered good...problem is/was on my wife's side...all to say conception issues aren't all down to sperm counts (not that you implied that, just wanted it out there).

Because they still pay them
The second sentence of the article does read "Some Sky TV viewers will be required to pay if they want to fast forward through ad breaks." and it later elaborates with "However, if you happen to purchase a Sky Glass telly or the new Stream box after today, you will need to add the "Ad Skipping Add On pack" to your subscription if you want to spin through those commercials."

The author is not confused, the editor who wrote the headline intentionally manipulated it to grab people's attention.
Many TRT regimens are counter to healthy sperm. Drugs like anastrozole or clomid are sometimes used along with HCG depending on the circumstances.

Eat more (raw? this is unclear from the studies) onions?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6406961/#!po=9....

Testosterone (17β-Hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one) is the main sex hormone in males. Maintaining and enhancing testosterone level in men is an incessant target for many researchers. Examples of such research approaches is to utilize specific types of food or dietary supplements as a safe and easily reached means. Here, specifically, since 1967 until now, many research studies have revealed the effect of onion on testosterone; however, this link has yet to be collectively reviewed or summarized. To accomplish this contribution, we searched the Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases for full articles or abstracts (published in English language) from April 1967 through December 2018 using the keywords “onion” versus “testosterone”. In addition, a number of related published articles from the same databases were included to improve the integrity of the discussion, and hence the edge of the future directions. In summary, there is an evidence that onions enhance testosterone level in males. The mechanisms by which this occurs is mainly by increasing the production of luteinizing hormone, enhancing the antioxidant defense mechanism in the tests, neutralizing the damaging effects of the generated free radicals, ameliorating insulin resistance, promoting nitric oxide production, and altering the activity of adenosine 5′-monophosphate -activated protein kinase. However, this effect requires further approval in humans, mainly by conducting clinical trials.
Keywords: onion, testosterone, luteinizing hormone, oxidative stress, antioxidants
As others have mentioned, this job may not be compatible with your needs. Are you willing to give up this job for one that better fits your needs? You might be able to renegotiate your workload. If you have a supportive manager, talking to them would be the place to start.

Do you consider yourself an assertive person? You will need to start setting boundaries with work. That requires saying No and speaking up for what's realistic for you. This is a skill that will take time to develop but will pay off in so many other areas of your life.
I am not a man, but this reminds me of a time years ago when I started to have allergic reactions to things several times a day. My allergist put me on a strict elimination diet of triggers. I could only use unscented products for bathing and laundry, organic food only, and I even had to get rid of my teflon pans and use only stainless steel or cast iron. It sucked but it did seem to help, maybe you could try something like that too.
My doctor says lifting weights doesn't increase testosterone. It would be nice if it were true but it seems to largely be a myth. (I believe testosterone goes up slightly immediately after lifting weights but it has no real impact as it shortly goes back down.)

To be fair I think it is kinda racist to categorize sperm as either "Western" sperm vs "other" sperm. They couldn't do the bare fucking minimum and at least separate by continent or wealth? Health?
I don't love it either but it seems inevitable unless it turns out to be impossible to make AR/VR glasses that are svelte enough for people to actually wear in public, and I wouldn't bet against it—I expect most of us in 1995 didn't believe we'd have many-core computers with gigabytes of ram and disk and with near-zero-latency touchscreens and all-day+ (for typical use, at least) battery life in devices with about the same volume as a cigarette packet, just ~12 years later.

Otherwise, the future of at least "consumer" computing is surely computer-as-overlay/HUD-on-reality, very likely with a side of being able to toggle totally virtual environments on and off at will ("Siri, take me to my office") which is what I meant by the computer being everywhere, rather than just having Internet access everywhere. Unless we crack some kind of really good brain/computer interface before we solve the VR-goggles-suck problem, which I doubt, but who knows.
What's the point of leaving a long comment on a post about vim detailing how and why you aren't interested in vim, or about how vim doesn't meet your needs? There are lots of posts here on HN about things that don't interest me, but probably not everyone needs to know about it.
You are absolutely, totally correct. Watching the class strategy play out in real time has been fascinating.
These calculations are off by several orders of magnitude, the author without knowing there is a difference switches between a British Billion with a US Billion and back, the author does not know what a relational database is, makes the rediculous assumption Twitter uses an AWS database to store tweets, and incorrectly believes DynamoDB is a relational database. This is not a correct or reasonable analysis.

I genuinely hate this (meaning Swan's) take. The modern world is waaaay to complex to offload all responsibility to "consumers".

They did it with sustainability, with sweat shops, with food, with cleaning products. It's ridiculous.
Not a biologist, but that kinda makes sense: you only need one single healthy sperm to reach the egg in order to fertilize it, so even men with pretty bad sperm counts are probably still able to have children. So the average sperm quality may drop for some time without a corresponding drop in fertility. But then the drop in fertility will be all the worse...
This is a good point. If you can check with your queen but hang it, the “best move” would be to take it. Make it so they have to take it, for example in a back rank, and you win.
