Where are these magical children that reliably obey commands at any time?
Thank you! So for now it's freemium, as a wellness app - so monthly, yearly or lifetime subscription to unlock all visuals, features and exercises. It may be at some point it can be provided via NHS trusts / health insurance companies.

For the first year or so it was self-developed and self-funded, and then in 2021 I won a couple of grants to develop the prototype for release. I don't suggest it directly to patients as there would be a conflict of interest, but I'm hoping it could be useful in both respiratory disease and stress/anxiety.
How Pong Works: From Schematic to PCB to Console
Sounds quite misguided.

Of course intimacy is a two-way transaction. It's also a thing where the chain of events and actions happen, and there are many possible breaking points, which at beast move the interaction to square one. So to summarize in short words, "make women like me" means passing this chain of events - from men's point of view - so that there's a passable chance to actually complete the transaction. Note that the situation is hardly symmetrical for men vs. women - I'd argue men are much more forgiving and willing to continue the chain of actions should something go sufficiently unexpected, in the wrong enough way.

I would guess you don't see the attempt to square the perspectives because it could be too obvious to talk about. Like, when we talk about programming we usually assume ability to handle basic addition of numbers under a hundred, which comes handy - and similarly when we talk about relationships we assume the two-wayness just the same, there's no need to talk about it.

This could vary widely. One can study somebody else for long time - see e.g. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070735/ The Sting, where the conspirators take time to study the ways their counterparts behave. Or in other case one could fly by the seat of your pants on a dance floor, when he sees a woman partner for some minutes at best. There could be little opportunities to get to know the other side better though - Tinder illustrates that when you make a split-second decision having barely even studied the image on the screen, not saying anything about the person themselves.

> Why do you think it should work any different here?

I guess because the analogy doesn't quite holds.
I'm glad I came across your comment, I'm planning a 2-week project for learning purposes and I thought rails backend with react/ svelte would be the fastest way to prototype.

My ruby/ rails experience is very limited compared to my JS experience; I really just started experimenting with rails. I'm blown away by the magic, JS frameworks feel like toys in comparison. I also like that Rails is omakase.

Based on your experience, would you suggest trying rails or going the full JS stack route?
Not really the same at all. People in bars tend to be much more willing to engage with others than they are on the apps. Its very easy to set insanely high standards when the next person is only a swipe away.. compared to in person you can see 'these are all of my options so pick someone and see how it goes'
I think the post was sensitively written about a topic that can be touchy. It's pretty easy for someone to get on the apps and have sex with people they don't have much in common with, I don't think we need to consider that a humble-brag.
Updated last year (edit: no it wasn't), so I've left the date off this one (edit: no I haven't).

> The imbalance is huge

This is overstating the case. This can all be measured. Statistics like median number of partners, age at marriage, etc... are indeed all trending downward and growing more asymmetric between men and women. The linked article cites a few studies like this. But it's not a "huge" effect.

This is a meme, created largely by feedback communities like the incel folks. Note, FWIW, the Betteridge question mark in the title of the linked paper. Contra everyone's assumptions here, it does not seem to be presenting solid evidence for a "public health problem".
I dont think Rails is fit for this. It is a full app so I think by design it does not fit into Cloud Run architecture of cloud functions.

May I suggest you take a look at Roda or Hanami?
I thought the same thing after reading the article. I wonder if long term disability would pay out? [I have no intention of finding out]
Yes, agreed. No other writer has so well captured the helpless, bemused terror of being imprisoned by small helpful machines.
They don't need to. We didn't either since the server hosting the RSS feed was down. You just tell your subscribers to move on whatever platforms you're advertising on.
I think you lot should get off apps and approach women the old-fashioned way. I am ok looking guy and have not encountered any problems meeting women my entire life. But one thing I can say that my experience with that is entirely IRL so to speak, I’ve never bothered with apps, never even downloaded one.

I have freckles, speak with an accent, and not at all athletic (though not what one might call fat either). I drive a ford truck. Just your average software engineer.

One word of advice I can offer - is that women (and same goes for men) often become a lot more attractive when you see them in person, get to know them, learn what they are like, see them smile and experience emotions. All the things you can never understand by looking at a pic in an app. And as you interact with them - they too will see you in a new light.
> digital wallets that hold car title NFTs

So question: Will you be able to atomically exchange your California-registered car title for Ether?

What happens if the on-chain car ownership is different than the traditional notion of car ownership? If I lose my private key, do I still have ownership of the car? If I get hacked, and the hacker steals the private key to my car NFT, so the blockchain now says the car belongs to the hacker -- what happens?

If "code = law" and what happens on the blockchain is the source of truth, don't these kinds of situations cause massive problems?

If you have someone who has the ability to override what the blockchain says and say "Based on a police report of theft we are reassigning car #12345 from address 0x6666 to address 0x9abc," why would anyone want to pay hard Ether for an NFT that could be taken away from them at any time?

If they're putting everyone's records on a blockchain, how are they going to handle the massive user education problems (and even tech access problems) of not everyone understanding what private keys are and how to keep them safe?
Overhiring doesn't affect the common people (except positively) - overfiring of course affects those fired.
If the best you can do is point to a joke Reddit comment that you apparently haven't fully understood as a joke, then I think we're done here.
I totally agree. In no way is it helpful to see sex as a need. I prefer to see it as a strategy (and sometimes fixation).
Tinder appears to be doing fairly well given it's their situation that they've engineered.
To be honest, most executives wish they could fire 10% of their staff. Once you get to even 30-40 people, 10% of your staff are almost inevitably dead weight. Unfortunately you can't mass cull without causing morale issues.

This period is just giving us a chance to shed those people without cultural ramifications.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return-oriented_programming

> Return-oriented programming (ROP) is a computer security exploit technique that allows an attacker to execute code in the presence of security defenses[1][2] such as executable space protection and code signing.[3]

> In this technique, an attacker gains control of the call stack to hijack program control flow and then executes carefully chosen machine instruction sequences that are already present in the machine's memory, called "gadgets".[4][nb 1] Each gadget typically ends in a return instruction and is located in a subroutine within the existing program and/or shared library code.[nb 1] Chained together, these gadgets allow an attacker to perform arbitrary operations on a machine employing defenses that thwart simpler attacks.
This is kind of an absurd example. The system is setup in such a way that such a person would be in enormous amounts of trouble even face criminal liability. They may not face a law called “practicing medicine without a license” but they would face negligent or other similarly severe charges. As well, the fact that this never, ever happens seems to indicate the current regulatory structure is enough for this.
Meta, but it's interesting how many comments here are reflexively blaming men and their collective behaviour for this. On its face this seems irrational since who has sex in present day culture is basically gatekept by women. There appears to be this bizarre cultural taboo or cognitive bias where women can (collectively) have agency but when they use that agency to make decisions that harm others, you aren't allowed to criticize them collectively because that would be immoral or something.

If you control your own server, it's very easy to deploy a Rails application. The downside is that you need to keep up with patching, ensuring that the disk doesn't become full, etc. etc.

Deploying Rails to PAAS solutions is also easy but used to be expensive with Heroku. I very recently started using DigitalOcean Apps for a personal project and it's been very easy, while costs look acceptable.

You'd probably be better off talking to your doctor and having some bloodwork done. It could be as simple as some kind of deficiency. Throwing a random vaccine at it for something that vaccines aren't meant to do is probably ill advised.
That wasn't possible as the host was completely down. I'm not sure if it was 100% but we had more followers on the new platform than the old one within the first month so most of them must have followed.
Congress mandated that NASA construct a surveillance capability for relatively-large NEOs (larger than the ones in OP), so the detection problem has been well-studied. A little googling will turn them up, but here's what I remember:

- Detection in optical by ground-based telescopes is a good technique. You need several exposures and good spot-tracking. Because of the relatively short time-base, you also need good follow-up or else the NEO diverges from your estimated orbit and is lost again!

- The parallax issue you mention comes up more regarding orbit determination than detection per se. (I.e., you need more than just detection to do anything useful.) One link going deep on the relationship of parallax to good orbits: [1]

- There are a bunch of such optical surveys, e.g. Pan-STARRs [3].

- But ground-based telescopes rely on reflected light, and so NEOs coming from certain regions (e.g., within Earth's orbit, but it's worse than that) don't have much reflected sunlight so are hard to detect optically.

- So, IR telescopes can be used, but you have to go above the atmosphere. See, NEOSurveyor [2]. IR is based on the infrared "glow" of a NEO against the background, and so it does not rely on reflected light. So IR telescopes get around many of the geometric limitations of optical.

- What about radar? It's very useful for follow-up orbit determination, but not so good for surveys, because the radar energy diffuses so much. Crudely, if the NEO is R away, you get a 1/R^2 on the way out, and a 1/R^2 on the way back. It's more complicated than that, but this is the reason that radar has limitations for this problem.

Thank you for sharing, I hope you feel better soon.
Homo Sapiens evolved to be uber-sexual[^1]. But at some point we decided we were only going to have a very narrow type of sex partner in a very narrow set of conditions, and doing otherwise would be a social taboo. Fast-forward, we live in a world where guys' natural needs go unfulfilled. Who figures.

Don't hate me for saying this, but if you are one of those guys who can't get laid with the girl they want: broaden your scope. Try to date the girl who would be your number 3 choice, or your boss' wife, or try an intimate friend of your same sex. Also, stop watching Netflix and Hollywood movies, that's not how life works.

My brother made something similar as an art project: it's a circuit board with 2 LED digits. The numbers increase quickly on the inhale and slowly on the exhale so that it's in sync with 10 breaths per minute. It lures you into following it's cadence with your own breathing and you eventually get lightheaded because you're fucking with your blood gases.

Many boys spend nearly their entire first 18 years of their lives stewing in an extremely toxic media/community/family ecosystem where sexual virility and your ability to have sex with women is _directly_ correlated with status and success in life. Similarly, your in-abililty to attract members of the opposite sex is _directly_ correlated with your status as a loser and station in life.
The answer to that is "something that is not Docker handles it". Wherever you're hosting your images there'll be something platform-specific that handles it. Azure, AWS, and GCP all have tools that'll scan and raise a notification. If you want that to trigger an automatic rebuild, the tools are there to do it. Going from there to "I don't need to think about any CVE ever" is a bit more of a policy and opinion question.
Amazon Sidewalk already does this. For what it's worth, they claim you can opt out. I'm not sure I trust that the transceiver is always off.
> but they would also learn that sex is likely not what they imagined it to be.

If you're paying someone to live out those fantasies, you're probably not going to experience "normal" sexual relationships.
I would follow some accounts like She Rates Dogs and Ask Aubry to see some of what women are up against on dating apps. Every woman on those apps has an experience like you'll find on those feeds of their own, and as a man on those apps, it helps to understand the experience they're used to, and are expecting could happen again at any moment.

This article quietly equates "CSAM" with lolicon and shotacon content, terms colloquially used to refer to drawings and other creative expressions, which is very clearly what they're avoiding mentioning. Of course, most people aware of fediverse politics already know about Pawoo and there is no good reason to speak about it in hushed tones, other than cowardice. Also, using the term "CSAM" to describe lolicon and shotacon is just intentional factual inaccuracy: the point of the term CSAM to specifically exclude content that doesn't directly involve the harm of a child; that's what "abuse material" is meant to refer. That does not change the legal reality or moral ramifications of the content, but it's bad to start out with the terminology so wrong because it paints the entire remainder of the discussion. Yes, it's complicated and uncomfortable, but let's not mince words.

When you run a Mastodon instance though, you don't actually need distribute this content at all. In fact, you probably would at least ban proxying media for communities like Pawoo, and honestly, probably, any NSFW-oriented instance if you want to be safe.

I hate to break anyone's innocence, but this stuff is literally everywhere on Twitter, and a lot of the rest of the Internet, too. Is it legal? Depends on your jurisdiction. Is it moral? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Only one thing's for sure: it's on your Internet, along with plenty of other things that you can also find on Mastodon somewhere. Such is the reality of federation and scale of the Internet. The stuff that goes through email relays unencrypted is not so different, other than the fact that it doesn't get broadcasted, and that it's probably worse in many cases.

If some instance was broadcasting outright CSAM on Mastodon, it would no doubt become quickly blacklisted by basically everyone and then probably also shut down off the clearnet.
I'd disagree regarding okay-looking - that could be surprisingly more important than assumed. Without looks which make enough of a pause many other qualities are worth little.

> have let themselves go and have nothing "going for them"

that is, they fell ill with depression because of lack of relationships, entering a loop of ever-furthering isolation and depression, which made them bitter and undesirable.

Some "ugly, socially awkward nerds" somehow find meaningful relationships and get saved. Others don't, and go down the nasty road.

A little bit of empathy wouldn't hurt.

Why are you making assumptions about OPs numbers? Instead let's talk the numbers you are trying to minimize. Cobra averages $600 per person per month. That is $2400 per month for a family of four. I agree when I was self employed my largest cost was always health insurance, but for someone who has never been self employed a new $2400 a month bill on top of being fired can be quite a shock and add a ton of addition stress and pressure.

The things you can do with statistical methods nowadays might blow your mind if you think there is not much information in oven usage.

You could infer likely occupancy periods of the home, since obviously if the house is empty no one is pushing buttons on the oven, and use some basic priors (9-5 jobs, x number of kids) to develop what is likely a pretty accurate model that would be profitable to sell to advertisers. Perhaps there are sensitive voltmeters on the power supply that can detect usage of other devices on the same circuit. Not to mention that it is yet one more channel of information alongside the flood of data being generated about you and your home by the rest of the devices you have incorporated into your life, and these things tend to have superlinear benefits when combined a la "multi-task" ML contexts. This is not an exhaustive list.
