> We should figure out why they're not adjusting, not ask the women to give back some of their hard-earned freedoms because some men can't handle it.

No one is asking women to stop having careers, or stop going to college. Rather, my point is that the article treats the women's perspective unquestioningly as reality — men aren't emotionally available enough, and aren't successful enough, and those are facts, not merely biased perspectives of a single gender.

I don't know how to fix this problem. Undoing a century of feminism is a non-starter. But you can't fix this by telling men to be better. They need the same kind of societal consideration and institutional support that women get.

> it's firmly discussing actions women are taking that impact these single men

Sure, it's stating that these are things women do. But the phrasing is neutral at worst. There's no implication that women wanting to "marry up" in a world where most men are now "lower" than them is an unreasonable desire.

> Of course it's on the men to adjust

Why? How? Even if men can somehow just become more emotionally available (assuming that the problem is on the mens' side and not womens' for expecting men to act like women), how do you suggest men fix issues like not being more academically successful as women, or not earning more than them?

Boiling all this down to a single question (I'm curious how you would answer):
How can you possibly reconcile a world where men and women are equal, but women still only want to marry men that are older and more successful than them?
Can't say my experience matches that. I only ever really posted on the fitness board, /fit/, but it's honestly probably the most positive and evidence focused fitness community I've ever experienced.

BB.net is almost legendary for how brutally unwelcoming it is. The 10th planet forums see both a lot of hostility on the topic of practical combat and street fights, and has a huge contingent of borderline schizoid conspiracy theorists because papa Eddie never met a lizard man he didn't believe in. Reddit fitness and Instagram fitness seem to be primarily dedicated to the goal of self aggrandizement and self promotion, and they don't feel like a real place for conversation.

You mean the PayPal buyer protection program? How does it work?
> And you’re right… people on this site time and again keep going after crypto as being a horrible scam… yet they keep on using Paypal.

I go on about (most) crypto(-related things) being a horrible scam (because it is) and also have avoided PayPal since very early in its existence, except in the very rare instances where a business for which there is no alternative requires it, which I’ve run into exactly once in the last decade (was a more common problem in the early 00s.)

The world isn’t a dichotomy between crypto and PayPal.

Also, I wonder how this might be acheived, maybe feet attach to bike pedals and they slowy turn all night? Would you be able to fall asleep though? Maybe have it turn on only after you fall asleep, maybe start off really slow nd then gradully increase speed so you sont startle awake.

I think throwaway40602 from the previous discussion had it right - there's a variable that clients can't normally set (dota_use_particle_fow) that allows seeing some particles/spells and allows guessing where the enemies are trough fog of war. You can even find open source implementations years back for this. It appears to be a popular feature in cheats.

They probably just query the clients to see if it's set. Querying client cvars from the server is already built in the game engine.

If true then the announcement just made it sound way more amazing than it is.

I mean using cryptocurrency to pay for things.
The only two things you need to take money out of an account are the routing number and account number.

There are a lot of checks on top of that which individual banks may or may not implement or care about, but at the end of the day those two numbers get you 99% of the way there. And for an organization the size of PayPal they're really going to be given the benefit of the doubt by banks.

I think the more interesting question is what are the penalties for a provider submitting this false information to the FCC.

Clearly there's a LOT of money up for grabs, and it seems like whoever tells the biggest lies will get the lions share. With no consequences for lying, you'd be stupid not to.
AKA .com's are squatted. Next.
Yes it's possible, but it's not something the average person can do for very long.

I can squat 1.5X my own weight, but I still get pretty tired carrying a mere 12kg backpack through a long airport walk. Sure you can build up to carrying 20kg all the time, but it's not normal for most people in the world. And it would not be accepted as reasonable by the people in the world who could afford it.
From what I understand those are for the Section 8 tenants.
I think this is honestly less about the notoriety of .com, and more about the lack of affordable and available domains for startups to purchase. Got a five letter named startup?

I hear that, though fastlane [0] makes like 1000x easier. Now my first step for any app is setting up a fastlane job to run Github Actions. My goal is to be able to push code and have an app show up in TestFlight without me ever needing to manually manage that. I can even make "blind" changes to the code and push it which is nice for old codebases or when I'm not on my main laptop but have access to my code.

> Paypal receivables account has no overdraft protection and not overdraft allowance. If a withdrawl over the value of the account comes in, it is denied.

Note that this may not work everywhere in the world. For example, in Australia, the legacy direct debit system will happily put an account with no overdraft into negative balance.

I’m not sure if the modern replacement (PayTo) has the same behaviour. In any case, legacy direct debits will probably stick around for years.

The best option is to simply avoid PayPal.
I have only two points, both are very well supported.

1) Inflation (high, not the good kind of 2%) hurts the poor more than the rich https://www.dallasfed.org/research/economics/2023/0110#:~:te....

2) To tame high inflation central banks need to raise interest rates, thus creating unemployment and economic slowdown in general https://rsmus.com/insights/economics/how-high-must-unemploym.... That's also much worse for the poor than the rich (who can afford not to work a few years without being thrown to the streets)

But honestly, you're right, we are talking past each other here there is nothing to be gained.

> You wouldn't cheat at tic tac toe despite the inherently low stakes of the game so it doesn't seem any different in any other video game.

It takes a minimal amount of study, training, effort to be a perfect tic tac toe player. If you put a small amount of effort into it, you can get skilled enough at tic tac toe to never make any mistakes, to never end up with a result less than a draw. No amount of improvement will ever give you a better result.

Not so with nearly any online game, especially one with as high a skill ceiling as Dota2. You can always get better, there's always room for improvement, there's always someone better than you. If you could get just a little bit better, you will win more games, no matter how good you are.

Those kind of rules infuriate me... Some politicians friend will manage to argue that it's in the public interest to grant an exclusive license in return for commercializing the tech. They would argue that without being granted exclusivity, nobody will commercialize it. Then one company gets to reap all the profits of government work.

> The real question is, why weren't these illegal donations found and red flagged well before he blew up so publicly and the feds started picking through his financial life with a fine toothed comb?

Flagged by who - the donor or the recipients? It's obvious why neither would. Political donations in the US pretty much work on an honor system, this specific issue is only coming to light because someone is looking closely into a donor's books. By design, there is no strong oversight over donations by the FEC; I'm not sure it is structurally possible even if the will was there. Would the FEC provide oversight on election donations, and congress have oversight over the FEC? congress is made up of current-office holders and frequent candidates, the regulatory capture would be almost immediate (as early as the confirmation stage).

Politicians will not facilitate the sort of proactive financial surveillance on themselves you think ought to have caught this issue earlier.

edit: corrected "SEC" to "FEC".

It's essentially the same as R&D layoffs in other industries, it's just that tech companies have comparatively huge R&D departments funded by outsized proceeds from other business units.
Well, that's good, but the article made it sound like it was no more. Maybe it's just that it's feature-complete.
yes it got much worse !!!!
It's been awhile, but I did both Android and iOS development for a product. iOS felt like a well thought out toolkit to build out very nice apps. Android was closer to here's a box of square legos, good luck. Getting to a polished app on Android was much harder [1].

Then there's the develop loop where the Android emulator is terrible, and the iOS simulator is great. So Android development meant constantly futzing with a device, which you really only want to have to do when you're ready really test.

[1] Games may be different since the game UI is often the same across platforms.
> The US can fix it all.

Well I think part of the issue is that the US (as in the federal government of the United States) cannot fix it all, because each state makes its own election rules. So for instance the federal government can't say "All election results will be released only after the very last ballot in Hawaii is cast", each state has to independently agree to only release their state's election results after a certain time that all states agree upon.

This is not borne out by the data. The data shows most layoffs are in recruiting, HR, product, design, data science. Yes, it’s cutting new projects but it’s also just trimming fat.
When I started my YC company, we used the .io (which we found on HN, actually! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6397526). A few years later, once we could afford it, we bought the .com for $170k.

I imagine that if you filtered based on only companies that make it to (for example) a Series B, the % goes way up.
Yes I temporarily lost £350 via paypal and eBay. I sent some amateur radio equipment to someone via UPS tracked fully insured. Was signed and delivered. The buyer decided to return it immediately (suspicious) but I had no choice. I received the item back and it had a different serial number. The buyer had stolen a working radio and replaced it with a broken one. I contacted eBay and they told me to work it out with the buyer and they couldn't do anything. The buyer did not respond and opened a case against paypal. I provided evidence to paypal and paypal sided with the buyer because as far as they cared, both deliveries were signed for. Then because I didn't have any money in paypal they took it out of my account instead. The bank allowed this and it caused an unauthorised overdraft that cost me another £30. I closed that bank account and removed it from paypal immediately.

The buyer listed the radio I had sent him immediately on eBay for way above a reasonable price. I took screenshots and made a police report. Didn't hear anything back in a week. Considered small claims but I'd have to potentially travel to the claimant's area which is a good 3h drive each way at the time.

So the buyer/reseller was in Ipswich which is 15 miles or so from my brother-in-law so he went round there and recovered it for me. My brother-in-law is an ex army (Gulf War vet) 6'5" bouncer. The guy did not argue with him. He was told he could come and collect the broken one at his cost from Bristol. He never did.

I now run a mule account on ebay managed payments and do not accept paypal for anything and do not send anything until cash is cleared from the mule account into my main account.

Edit: also worth pointing out that ebay do not allow sellers to leave negative feedback for buyers so you can't even rate or report the buyer publicly. If you leave any comments in a positive feedback other than sucking dick, they will remove the feedback.
Fair.

Don't forget the other inmates! My cousin's cellmate, in for murder... beat the everloving bejesus out of some dude in the gym, some days before said cousin arrived (honestly he probably deserved it, but that's beside the point here).

At some level we always have a mask, a persona that we present to others. I think where the the problems come in is when that persona doesn’t align with our underlying reality.

I don’t think there is any one right way to go about this. Try and find the interests that make you feel fulfilled and find other who share those interests. Take time away from others in ways that make you smile. Find ways to dive into your soul whatever those may be.

In my experience, it’s a winding path and it’s unique to each person. There may be hints of things for you. Things that you have been drawn to, hobbies that fell by the wayside, or things that feel particularly “stimmy”. Wherever there is a hint of a loose thread that could be something, pull on it and see what happens.

I think through doing these things you will find friends, perhaps in the most unexpected places. And bit by bit, the feeling of otherness and isolation drops away. At least that has been my experience.
No, just stop responding to or encouraging this kind of behavior. It probably seems funny to you in the context of a thread but it pollutes the discourse and gradually wears down the standards on this site.

The signal to noise ratio needs to be good, or there will be no point to reading the comments.
> which I’ve run into exactly once in the last decade

anecdotal evidence isn't really worth much, sorry.

there is a reason why this story is trending on HN 5 months after the op originally got banned. it is because this keeps happening over and over again to untold numbers of people. the thread is full of endless amounts of similar complaints. you're here responding to the comments at the bottom of the page. you can choose to ignore all of that and make it personal to your experience, or you can listen to the warnings and try to find solutions that help others beyond just yourself.

I don't think it's a fair comparison. Yes, Google and Apple and Meta all collect data, but they are part of a country where their misuse can be challenged in fair courts and they can (and have) been fined.

One of the things that drove me nuts about Overwatch 1 was the common demand from other players that you employ the pro-league meta when playing even at the lowest levels. A lot of players seem to imagine themselves as the next Ninja (or the Overwatch equivalent) in training and playing multiplayer in that environment is not much fun.

>Marketing has already forced people to become defensive about communication.

Kind of, but this is actually a second order effect.

You get endless marketing/spam communications because the communications is cheap. Marketing companies didn't call you when calls had a cost per minute. By making any communications medium and tool inexpensive you are inviting parasites to feed off the cheap energy/money/power they can harvest off of it. I personally believe this is not something that can be fully regulated away, especially in a global internet.

This is not so much of a technology is bad, as it is a humans are greedy and that well of emptiness in some of us can never be filled.

agreed with first two sentences.

but, "..which you unlock with your password and/or biometrics"?

unlocking with biometrics is actually the problem, regardless of where the unlocking takes place.

relying on a third-party device that you can't even verify is in the custody of its user as "the only secure way to authorize actions" is highly problematic for similar reasons.

and confirming "from other devices" rapidly turns into a user nightmare.

the irony in all this is that lengthy, strong, non-reused passwords are actually pretty secure, and they don't require any specialized technology or rely on possessing a device that you just forgot on the airplane seat pocket and is now winging its way toward another country.
What you actually did was post a cynical dismissal of the efforts of an entire generation of tech workers by focusing on one contentious aspect of the industry’s output.

You said they wasted their talents.

It’s pretty clear that they didn’t, and they actually produced a huge amount of good things, and I listed only a subset of the major achievements we’ve seen recently.
The FEC is the branch that should be flagging it if anyone.

I’m less concerned about the wealth class than foreign citizens and governments though. Seems like we have a wide open gate that is intentionally being left open.
