Manhood in the Making: Cultural Concepts of Masculinity by David D. Gilmore goes into the pan-cultural concepts of masculinity. It's a very approachable and deep dive into what defines masculinity across cultures and times.

TLDR: It's not that men are not women, it's that they are not boys.

Manliness is a social marker and is defined by a male's peers, "honor" societies, gangs, etc.

How that is seen is via the 3 P's, which are: Provider, Protector, Procreater.

With very few and rare exceptions, all cultures have these three things as markers of a man. You can have 2 of them in spades and still be seen as a man, but you can't just have 1.

Again, I'm trying to summarize a whole book here in a comment on HN, so if you're interested in discussing and learning more, I'd buy it and read it.
I assume you and your friends are also just naturally good looking too. (Taller than average, good face, preferred race, etc.) For places like the bar, online, and other cold approach avenues - looks are paramount to your success.

If someone thinks you’re physically unattractive - you’re not going to seduce them in such a short fashion. It takes a long time to build a rapport where most women will sleep with you if she doesn’t find you physically attractive.

Clothes and whatever obviously help but turd polishing doesn’t go as far as people often believe.
I see another point which ties with your second: 3. Money

"And we can charge anything we want, 2,000 a day, 10,000 a day, and people will pay it. And then there's the merchandise..."
This has literally nothing to do with the plane.
Its a seed value to generate a private key. So its like a password in the same way an SSH private key is a password.
In that case, they're selling a subscription instead of selling movies, no? (I haven't used it, I don't know the details of how it works.)
I’m imagining a utopia now where my privacy was protected as well as my medical data is with HIPAA.

Some of my family works in medicine and there is nothing that scares the pants off of medical administration more than a HIPAA data breach. There are real penalties for it from the government and they have to be reported. People responsible get fired.
One easy way: you can telehealth for say $50 and do a rapid strep test which is like a covid test and does not require a lab to process it. Then you get the meds from a pharmacy sure. If your rapid strep is negative then it's probably viral. 99% of the time the urgent care says go see your primary care physician in a few days if symptoms don't improve with over the counter meds.
I love this story, except that it wasn't quite so regarding early C compilers.

"Oh, it was quite a while ago. I kind of stopped when C came out. That was a big blow. We were making so much good progress on optimizations and transformations. We were getting rid of just one nice problem after another. When C came out, at one of the SIGPLAN compiler conferences, there was a debate between Steve Johnson from Bell Labs, who was supporting C, and one of our people, Bill Harrison, who was working on a project that I had at that time supporting automatic optimization...The nubbin of the debate was Steve's defense of not having to build optimizers anymore because the programmer would take care of it. That it was really a programmer's issue.... Seibel: Do you think C is a reasonable language if they had restricted its use to operating-system kernels? Allen: Oh, yeah. That would have been fine. And, in fact, you need to have something like that, something where experts can really fine-tune without big bottlenecks because those are key problems to solve. By 1960, we had a long list of amazing languages: Lisp, APL, Fortran, COBOL, Algol 60. These are higher-level than C. We have seriously regressed, since C developed. C has destroyed our ability to advance the state of the art in automatic optimization, automatic parallelization, automatic mapping of a high-level language to the machine. This is one of the reasons compilers are ... basically not taught much anymore in the colleges and universities."

Their 1st gen is a flop, already building a bad reputation, that'll be hard to recover, unless AMD's RDNA3 gen suspiciously flop too, there is already a lot of FUD about their high end versions despite crushing NVIDIAs so we'll see how it goes

RDNA2 does better at gaming than Intel's new GPUs, except for Raytracing, they have a head start to be future proof, but it ends there, they didn't plan out their strategy properly, specially when both their drivers and software sucks

Embedded, mobile, consoles, AI, Intel's GPU story there is inexistent
The Zune came quite a while later, though (2006 vs iPod in 2001). The main competitors at the time was Creative (Nomad) and frin 2003 (IIRC) iRiver, and they typically had slow USB ports at the time and were more bulky.
Better options, does not necessarily mean more happiness. The better options are usually independence and physical security, and they come with a price, of which happiness might be one of them. After all, western societies have long moved into a direction where actual happiness is not as important as the fake-happiness from economic factors and social standing, or recently the kick from entertainments.
> As a practitioner of finance for 15 years, from front to back, vanilla to exotic, tech to investment, I've spent hours on HN to explain that yes, there are tremendous advantages to blockchain in finance.

Interesting. This is an appeal to authority - because as a 'practitioner of finance' we should just trust you.

Two problems.

1) 'practitioner of finance' is a meaningless title. Are you an accountant? A financial advisor? A FP&A? A CFO?

2) Regardless of your title, you should be able to simply and succinctly provide an use-case for crypto. Instead, you suggest that after hours of work, even developers (who specialize in understanding abstract and complex problems, especially in regard to computation and its applications) cannot understand what you're selling.

Your current approach does not help install any confidence in crypto, instead it reinforces the notion that crypto supporters don't understand their own product.
"Tar-pit" is overstating it significantly. It takes a paradigm shift, sure, but there are lots of options who feel Rust makes them more productive than other mainstream languages. A good type system can speed you up in some ways, too.

I've noticed that MBA speak is the most difficult to distinguish from chatGPT output. Chatgpt has structural cues, but other than that its content free in almost exactly the same way that the usual, say, condolence letter is.

How does Apple's anti-tracking for AirTags make them unusable?
Apple isn't cornering the market. Apple is buying all available supply for actual use.

"Cornering the market" typically refers to controlling supply of a product to restrict supply to the larger market and drive up price.
Whole Foods workers were impacted by the acquisition. Since healthcare depends on high skill workers, any impact to them will harm customers.

I stopped enjoying "going to the office" when I no longer had my own office: a room with a door and a large window to see the PNW gloom that kept me inside, working.

I don't want a shared office, a cube farm, or an open office, thanks.
It’s totally possible Apple put in an order for 200% and tsmc said we can only 100%. It’s actually more likely scenario and In this case, apple is not a strategizing villain purposely buying up all the supply.

It’s also possible they bought/earned exclusivity on the product. Maybe they funded or helped the R&D, in which case these things wouldn’t exist without apple so it makes sense they should get first access.

By that time competitors had 1.8" HDD with similar capacities. Creative also had a 40GB MP3 player with a 1.8" drive in 2004, the Zen Touch.
I have that happen just by leaving my MBP in the trailer I'm towing behind me. Periodically it tells me I left it somewhere along the road.
What I think is of particular concern is perverse incentives, and a race to the bottom.

* Somebody with a pristine battery takes a risk by swapping. They probably won't, because they're extremely likely to get a worse one than they arrived with.

* Somebody ruins their battery in some way. A battery swap lets them with a high likelihood get something better. They'll probably do that.

* People doing a swap have a risk with getting something worse, and getting stuck somewhere. Every time that happens the reputation of the swap stations gets worse.

* All the above results in the quality of batteries being available at the station going down and down, until the entire system collapses.

What are the possible counter-measures? You could have user registration and punish people with a fine if they drop in a broken battery, but the batteries are expensive, so the fine would be large. That'd be a risky proposal.
Yes. And this is a great example as to why.

Think about the effect on the writer, in one case you need to sit down and face the blank page finding the right words to reassure, calm down and empathise with young adults who are scared and look up to you. You might even change as a person, just by the mere act of having to find those words and thinking about what those kids need and feel.

In AI generated text you can just ask for platitudes, copy paste, send and never have to confront anything. You can borderline become a worse person by becoming calloused at how easy it is to have to face a difficult situation

The words themselves are fairly unimportant in this whole situation, what people want out of the letter is to be heard, understood and have actual leadership. By having a glorified clippy write it for you, you are letting them down regardless of the quality of the text
This comment uses the word "publishers" a couple times. I think it was unintended, but that alludes to an important distinction: publishers do not have platform immunity. Platforms have immunity even if they moderate content, but will likely be treated as publishers if a human editor chooses what content to feature prominently. A human editor who chooses to actively promote libel or terrorist recruitment videos will get sued or maybe even imprisoned.

It seems to me the guiding principle should be that a sufficiently smart, personalized algorithm gets treated like a human editor.

Of course, precisely defining "sufficiently smart" in a manner that's both reasonable and enforceable might be hard.
They also don’t want you to use it for people, but I found them very helpful in tracking a semi independent elderly in-law, who tends to wander, while on a family vacation.

People tracking is a sensitive topic but it is also useful and legitimate in some cases.

My kids school backpacks all have tags in them because they lose them from time to time.
Battery swapping seems crazy. Batteries have a wide range of values depending on performance, age, charge cycles etc. Why would I want to swap out my brand new very expensive battery for some old crusty piece of crap?

Plus, they're presumably very heavy. How easy is it for the elderly / infirm to manage?
Maybe decentralization would be a good idea for this. For example, clarksword can have it's "you have to mail it" rule, then there should be an Australian group that does the same thing for locals (including the outback).

The Australian group can sponsor some top local writer's work to the groups in other countries.
Tile simply doesn’t work for us in rural areas. There’s not even remotely the same device density as the iPhone.
What is this service you speak of? Disney+ only has a tiny fraction of their back catalog. (For instance, it is missing all of miramax)
I thought so too, but I run a stable diffusion service, and we see small differences between generations with the same seed and same hardware class on different machines with the same CUDA drivers running in parallel. It’s really close but there will be subtle differences, (that a downstream upscaler sometimes magnifies), and I haven’t had the time to debug/understand this.
This is super annoying for me, as I bought a tag for our shared mailbox key thinking we both could find it when needed, but only my devices can. It seems crazy to me that this still hasn't been implemented in over a year now - iCloud family plans exist, CloudKit sharing zones exist since last year (In public API form, so likely they existed internally for even longer.)

Also the device ID's are already shared internally in some fashion across an iCloud family, as my key tracker doesn't make my wife's phone detect an unknown tag and vice versa.

Ideally you should be able to share beyond the family, IE I let my parents borrow the car, I should be able to "loan" the tag to their account (And I guess choose whether I can see tracking or not.) But if we don't have family plans we obviously won't get to this point any time soon.
It absolutely happened with the advent of photography that was certain to destroy the lives of hard working painters. Those painters at the time were mostly employed to paint pictures of rich people and something that could "easily" perform the same task to create images of mere commoners was a clear sign of impending doom.

What happened instead is, free of the requirement to appease rich people, what we now call "modern art" was created.
I think the demo/trial model is still very reasonable. You get to download the game for free and play a level or two and then you need to purchase the full game to continue.

Of course the problem is that it's sometimes a bit hard to tell apart games like this from the P2W micro-transaction shovelware junk
I am 100% behind this affirmation, we have been historically bitten times and times again by blind trust in "renowed experts", and while I trust most of them om their fields of expertise, saying we should ritualistically let them be up and front on any societal issue by "trusting the science" is very naive. Case in point: no more public debate on energy policies, because experts have made it a battlefield.

There are only two hard problems in computer science:

High pressure novel ice structure was also the subject of a BBC Science in Action [1] earlier this month and I can only assume this is the same thing but from what I gathered the high pressure friction was more important to the formula than the salt but very interesting podcast session and from the best regular science show they have.

When it comes to marriage, you need to realize that a wedding is not a capstone, but a corner stone. You don't crown your life with a wife, you build up one with a partner.
I can't imagine you've actually read into the anti-stalking measures they've implemented because it's pretty damn clear to me that they've thought about adversarial usage. You can absolutely disagree with where they drew the lines between safety and usability, but claiming they didn't think about it past "cool tech" is farcical.
I disagree in that I see bugs like this help bad actors. If users are conditioned to accept false alarms from rather common use cases, then that weakens true alarms about actual stalkers. It's an inherent contradiction in the AirTag's anti-stalking requirements: it needs to be a useful alarm and not go off under "normal" proximity relationships, but most stalkers are people close to the victim to begin with.

If I were building a system with such self-defeating requirements, I would take a step back and either roll it out very slowly, or conclude that this is a bad idea completely.
Yeah, that's just something Microsoft added... don't know why.

Yes, they are done in the operations center. The weight of the aircraft empty, how much fuel has been loaded, how many passengers are boarding, the baggage weight, any cargo carried, the airport altitude, weather, runway length, and a great many other variables, plus a safety margin, all come from a variety of sources. Why would it be done on the aircraft, and how?

When people do this in cars, they might get worse mileage or track funny down the road. When the aviation industry just glances and says "Ah, it's fine", people die.
I work for a telecom, and I've heard techs suggest something similar to find/fix problems in the field. If you can't find the source of an intermittent problem, then change/replace something (anything!) to narrow scope for next time it happens.
That doesn't really sound like the same thing?
Why would these two DEI people do this? Are they that busy fighting for equity?
I started with exercism for rust, and then Zero2Prod.

Through Zero2Prod, it's very nice to see how easy the rust ecosystem makes it to do "high level" web programming with minimal friction. The type system makes Domain modeling fantastic. Options and Results feels like the right way to do error handling, and the `?` operator cleans things up nicely.

I only wish that rust was something I could use at work (we're mainly a Go shop; not my favorite), but I suppose I'll have to wait for the right opportunity.
So does this mean person A could reverse stalk person B (who has their airtagged Macbook on them, for instance). Use the disable function to disable the airtag on person B's Macbook once IOS pops up a potential stalking notification. And then freely steal the Macbook?

What's the distance and time required to get a stalking notification? I presume close enough that it would be hard to do on the street, but potentially of use in a place like a cafe or an airport screening line?
But if you mistreated your battery, you'd definitely want to swap.

I don't see how battery swapping doesn't result in a race to the bottom.
I have a nuanced take on this.

Say, hypothetically, that I am the creator of a song, book, video game or whatever. One day, for purely selfish reasons that I don't need others to understand, I decide that I no longer want to offer my creation to others. Do I forfeit any and all rights over something that I personally produced; that I invented, designed, fabricated and brought into existence; just because I once offered it to others?

I know that the law takes a more social look at the issue. After a while creative works enter the public domain and copyright is no longer recognized. The timeline varies and has been extended. I think right now it is the life of the author plus 75 years or something like that because of copyrights held by corporations rather than individuals.

I don't know what the "right" length of time is. And for classics that have outlived the life of the creator and are "culturally significant" there is a broader discussion to be had.

Beyond that scenario, the principal that I come at this from is that I, as a creator, rightfully recognize and defend my own rights to the things that I pour a significant portion of myself and life into. I made it, it's mine and therefore others can GTFO even if they disagree with me.

Bill Waterson, of Calvin & Hobbes fame, had a similar view. In rare interviews he stated that the only audience he ever cared about was his wife. If he could make her laugh with the comics, that was all that mattered. Since retiring the comic he has held on to those rights very tightly. He has allowed a few reprints but otherwise does not license out the property much at all. He doesn't want any more Calvin & Hobbes works to be created. Agree or disagree, I recognize that as his right as the creator. You or I did not create Calvin & Hobbes, he did. It's his.
I think it would be easier to simply get EVs to the point where they have over 300mi of range on a charge and build out quick charge infrastructure. Waiting 20-30 minutes to quick charge after close to 300 miles of driving doesn't really seem that big of a headache to me. That's basically equivalent to stopping for food, gas, and a bathroom break which I'd do on long trips anyways.
I got an Electrical Engineering degree because I thought it was interesting, but I always planned to go into software. I suppose I could have gone into hardware if I didn't like software.

It sounds like you are looking for a Plan B to exercise. If you don't mind my asking, what is holding up Plan A?
Where's the line when it constitutes 'undoing natural selection'? Resurrecting extinct animals? Conservation efforts? Taking antibiotics?
They don't even need to do much, just add a category for developers who want to have a free + single-IAP-to-unlock-the-whole-thing version, and let people search that category specifically. No need for Apple to enforce time limits or anything. The trouble now isn't that demos can't exist, but that it's hard to tell which IAP-bearing apps are just full version unlocks and which are whale-chasing bullshit.

For that matter, just segregating games with any "consumable" IAP from those without would probably help a lot.
There was no backup plan. I knew what I wanted to do and I knew I was fairly adept at it. Failure was not an option as the saying goes. If I got into a car wreck and got brain damage or something were I was no longer able to do it, I would probably take whatever job I could find.

FWIW my resolve was certainly shaken early in my career after the dot bomb, but I managed to find a job through a prior coworker in another city 6 months after.
