The article comes off as slightly condescending; even as I'm 32 and just above the "Young men" threshold (<30)

Some of the thing mentioned, such as young women not looking for emotional attachment as much might be true, but what about >30 women?

My early 20s, online dating era romantic life was miserable; it made me feel completely worthless and that's a sentiment A LOT of young men get from those dating apps. I simply gave up, which was a good choice for a poor, stressed out and anxious engineering student.

However, around 28 and forward this drastically changed; and anyone above 30 can probably recall how the dynamic switches around this age group; men get more comfortable about themselves and women realizes that they're competing against people younger than them (which is a group growing every year). If family is a desire then that also add a sense of urgency

So suddenly (assuming you've put some work in) the dating (and sex) life becomes a balanced game.

This is ofc affected by other factors such as culture and demographics, which is closely tied to locations. But people have moved country and cities for all form of opportunities (including mating) so this is a way easier problem to solve, if one prioritizes it.

People already get married and have kids later, and have for a while. Only focusing on <30 males seems like a scope very useless to analyze the issue, if not from the negativa mental health consequences this have for young men
While you’re right, I would advise to always take a step back and understand that it also might be a listener problem. People come out wrong many times too.
I learned a thing today that I would not have if it wasn't :)
It's a silly idea, anyway.

People's right to free speech should be defended, for instance no more Galileo being silenced by the Church because empirical evidence fractured their fragile beliefs.

But at the same time, people can't just say _anything_. If society was still allowed to be legally publicly homophobic, I'd still be told to my face by various people that I'm a: monster, pedophile, going to hell, sissy and all manner of cruel insults & jokes just because I'm gay. That wears someone down, after a while.
I said hey all the time when I was on the apps. It’s a perfectly normal way to start a conversation with a stranger in any other context, and plenty of girls don’t mind. There’s like an 80% chance of rejection anyway, I’m not coming up with some sales pitch just to get a slightly better response rate from ditzy self centered sociopaths whose idea of a man is a husk of a person just desperately performing gender roles.
I mean it is both. When most men have different expectations of a relationship than most women that means there will be less relationships over all.

As of the therapy question: As someone who is in a happy relationship for more than a decade and never felt in need of therapy, I'd still agree here. If you want a healthy relationship with good sex, both sides being at good terms with themselves and their sexuality is a must. Therapy can be a very good way to come to terms with things that you would otherwise have a hard time adressing yourself.

If this is indeed a "supply side issue" that just means men must adjust to become the persons most women would like to share their lives with. Or even more simply put: They need to avoid being the person who women do not like to share their lives with: Men who are not on good terms with themselves, who have never reflected on who they are and why they have the desires they have, men who are desperate to get sex and don't even care anymore with whom, and when they get sex, the kind of sex they want comes out of works of fiction. There is a good supply of men like these and it turns out women are not in demand for that type.

You will have men that fit that exact description and still get women, by means of having a ton of money, good looks and so on – so they found different ways of attracting a specific subset of women that seeks for that. But my advice here is: If a man wants a happy and fulfilling relationship, starting with the baseline of "A man has to trick women into liking him" is a recipe for disaster. You might find women who accept this, but you will never find someone who likes you for who you are instead of for what you are.

Therapy is a good (but not the only) way to become a grounded, balanced, better individual and those tend to fare better in relationships.
You know how you're driving and a person behind you gets in a turning lane but then continues to go straight anyway and then honks at YOU for getting in their way. And because you are the nice guy but knows they fucked up you don't raise a stink and honk back but you're still fucking mad as hell?
Passive strategy works well when men are young and/or horny.
When horny phase wears off the same passiveness is a reason why marriages end.

>In the digital dating sphere, “burning the haystack” means obliterating 99 per cent of the dating field immediately so that you’re able to see the 1 per cent that might be right for you (...)

> There’s no shortage of men who want to date you, (...) the good ones are out there, though, and this method makes them more findable.

So, soft way of saying that 99% of men aren't "good". I think it's sexism and it irritates me.
> On the other hand I've heard the point made that if a clear night sky was as rare as northern lights or an eclipse, people would similarly be freaking out about it as a life-changing almost religious primal experience.

“Nightfall” by Isaac Asimov uses this a premise.
Yeah WoW Airlines was the Icelandic budget airline now it's Play Airlines. Which was solid for a little more then a few hundred dollars round trip. I just brought my luggage onboard with me as I hear they lose luggage.
I’m going to be honest I have never seen the case where somone calling themselves a woman was considered a slur by peers and told not to do it, so I think you and I are in radically different social circles or are going off of niche social media drama that doesn’t actually occur to any degree offline. I’ve at least heard of the notion of chest feeding, but I’ve never heard of “telling them not to refer to thenselves as a woman”.

I think you might be conflating “chest feeding” with womanhood, but I’ve never seen the case where someone was not allowed to refer to themselves as a woman and/or not allowed to refer to using one’s own lactation to feed a child as breast feeding either. Can you point to, I dunno, pregnancy tracker blogs or pregnancy communities or something where this is happening? Maybe a spokesperson for a hospital requesting patients no longer refer to their bodies with the above? I simply struggle to believe you that this occurs to any significant degree in the relevant community.
It's both in the submission and in the Wikipedia article about UARS: "A typical UARS patient is not obese"
Title should be : "getting around very poorly implemented paywall (eg WaPo) with devtools alone".

As soon as your site sends the whole content of the article to the browser, you're not even trying seriously. (And Firefox "reading mode" is just much better ux than the devtools.)
Thanks. To clarify my question, the part about Pfizer seems to be that they were engineering virus variants after the pandemic started, and doing so intentionally in a laboratory, not (merely) as a byproduct of overly-specific vaccines exerting evolutionary pressure.

What I heard about that was based on supposed leaked information (Project Veritas). Such information going public would obviously be very bad PR, so it would make sense for it to be secret, if it's real. But also, anyone can record a fake interview (and nowadays, somewhat convincingly replace the faces and voices too), so...
Frigidity
Ah you mean like most women who never write the first message to anyone?
This is very interesting! How did the FANG in your hypothetical find out about the person being a convicted domestic abuser? The law says they are not allowed to ask about prior criminal history which is not relevant to the job itself, so it would be interesting to know how these pieces of information come to light.

I'll leave the question of "should a person be branded for life even if they've done everything they can to make things right" for the reader.
(sarcastic take on the article) Well, thank god it can only be used for Russian or Chinese disinformation. We just need to ban anything Russian or Chinese and we are safe! Do avoid mass outrage among our own western population, we can facilitate tools like ChatGPT to make it appear there's a broad consensus among the population for these measures, and to automatically attack all criticism with consistent talking points. Democracy is saved!
It's called "progress".
Found someone who hasn't actually listened to Jordan Peterson. If you did you would find he agrees with you.
A blurred line, I was thinking after asking. When the function has outputs that connect with space with visible logic, more CA; when not, more just optimisation. But this thus limits CA with art... not a good answer. What would be yours?
Next step is to do the same with music.
Archive.ph et al is run by a russian fellow so probably the third one, especially now that Russia doesn't seem to care about something like this at all
Yes, and it wouldn't be marketed as a PDA.
Does that logic work for Blacks for instance ?
No, it's an ecological movement. The goal is not to help the poor but to fight climate change.
I agree with the second part tho. This phone is still pretty complicated to repair. It's much easier than for the average smartphone but still simple things like changing the battery involve tricky steps like disconnecting the fingerprint reader and motherboard cache.
And yeah the real obsolescence issue is on the software side.
I looked at Fly.io pricing, and boy that's expensive. $558/mo for a virtual machine with 8 dedicated CPU cores and 64GB of RAM. I pay ~$120/mo for a Zen 2 12-core dedicated server with 128GB of RAM. It just doesn't make sense to migrate anything that needs some chunkier resources.
How big the sway ones political affiliation is drove all of that
If understanding what the fediverse is and why the whole point is the diversity of servers, then you're not ready to discover the fediverse.

It's not a bad thing in itself. The fediverse is not just another service, another app, another social network. It's a way to organize together as a society, as a group of humans. It might take time to understand how it works, but it's worth it.
My comment was written based on what article said. It really does not mater what is on Instagram or wherever.

The article was about men being single and male sexual happiness. It was not about female happiness or fulfillment other then when their choices affect male coupling. That is not bad or anything, but simply not the focus of the article.

Author wrote write article about men without putting mini outrage over women-on-Instagram which is perfectly fine.
Why would I ever want to extend a type with null? That's exactly the opposite of what I want of a type system in the first place.
I didn't know there was no manipulation done to photos taken on film. It's not like dodge and burn tools in Photoshop are named after real life process.
Some ways that might be true I can think of are if you are someone who doesn't build any emotional connection to the other person whatsoever, and always just "do sex" your way, without much of the other person's involvement.

Otherwise, strong disagree, as emotional involvement, which depends on so much more than if someone is "higher than 6", and the dynamic of pleasure of getting, and of giving, which highly depends on the other person, are 2 factors I'd say far outweight physical appearance.

Even without you as a factor, sex with a 10 can be very lousy, while sex with a funny, caring and passionate 5 can be out of this world.
Yeah, the math on that is interesting. Either a huge proportion of women under 30 are in relationships with men over 30, or a lot of women under 30 are in relationships with men under 30 who are in simultaneous relationships with other women.
The story with my wife and partner for > 9 yrs started with a simple hi, in person.

All that can I say about this is that the selection criteria works both ways.

If a person is not willing to give a chance to another person simply based on the first word that comes out of their mouth/keyboard, perhaps it's them that don't deserve a chance
He _always_ (or at least since the 90s) had some pretty fringe beliefs; he believed in the "law of attraction" (an odd piece of magical-thinking woo; essentially, thinking things makes them happen) but not evolution, for instance.
Hah, reminds me of when my university account was going to be closed down (this would've been in the early 80s), and I had some files I wanted to preserve. So one evening, I sent them to the card punch, and then lugged the resulting boxes home on my bicycle.

(At this point, I've no idea what eventually became of those boxes, though...)
Of course they push back. You can't expect to express your opinion without them expressing theirs. Don't they have a right to as well, or is that yours, exclusively?

"I love the new Marvel film" "Eh, I didn't think it was that great". Why is the 2nd person in the equation not allowed to express their opinion?

It's only when it turns into an argument, where both parties refuse to accept the differing opinion of the other party that things go awry. Or frequently as I find with friends, they're prepared to try to change my opinion but aren't prepared to discuss it for as long as I am, where they get upset & overly emotional and it therefore turns into an argument.

Some people have a hard time separating the idea that's being attacked from themselves; personal attacks are not okay. "I don't think people should vote for x for y reasons" is a lot cleaner than "I can't believe you'd vote for x, what kind of person are you".
Not sure why this is voted down. From my chats with women on dating sites, this is accurate. Most of them were constantly flooded with contentless messages like that, which makes it very hard to get a meaningful conversation.

Mind you, my experience is all way pre-tinder. I've never been on Tinder, and things may work differently there, because if I understand correctly, you first need both people to already be interested in each other before you can send messages, and the messages are explicitly chat, so there a "Hey" might work. But on many traditional dating sites (many of which are scams now), you search profiles and send a message before you have a match, leading many women to get inundated with low-effort "Hey" messages from men with seemingly no content or personality at all.

Maybe the Tinder approach is better.
> And I get the same impression as she gets about men: that they are lazy and not interested in dating.

Coming from a culture where dating doesn’t exist but has now sadly been somewhat imported by American applications, I’m still surprised that people find the idea appealing. The whole thing still somewhat baffles me. It’s like job application applied to life partner, capitalist productivism extended to relationships. That and the whole idea that people should date around and non exclusivity is the norm are probably the most repealing part of American culture to me (and there is a lot I dislike about American culture).

Say I want to write an app, deploy it, and never think about it again. What's the easiest way to do this?

Fly.io?

AWS Lambda?
> The question is not whether to trust the US [government] in absolute terms, the question is whether the democratically elected US government that is bound by the rule of law, strong institutions providing checks and balances and the Freedom of Information Act can be trusted

No. Where were checks and balances when a coup attempt happened? Or before that, when a sitting US president committed multiple crimes, including influence peddling, and got away with it? Or when Guantanamo was established and random people were kidnapped and tortured because of their name or watch? Or when the US president decided to murder a US citizen without due process? Or when it was decided to implement dragnet surveillance of the whole Internet? Or when it was decided to spy on allies? Just because we later learned about some of those transgressions doesn't in any way make the US government and it's various entities trustworthy. Yes, it's better than the authoritarian regime in China, sure, but that doesn't equal actual trust.
I prefer picky rather than: "This guy is disabled, so I can't reject him or I would be a bad person… I will go out with him but act terribly, so that he will reject me instead, leaving my status as a good person intact."

Yes this has happened to me a few times. Despite my opening usually was something like "I've got this disability, if you're uncomfortable with that please just unmatch me right away".
>Antihistamines can make you drowsy, ie. "brain foggy"

Depends. More modern ones like Desloratadine which don't cross the blood/brain barrier usually don't do so.
I did not said he cares. I said that he is not seen as lost potential partner.
I agree, and think that this should be incorporated into the cost.

Ie, a project twice as complex should be 5x the cost due to the additional management, comms overhead, permutations and potential risk.

Said another way the curve is logarithmic and there's a theoretical upper bound on project complexity.
that makes sense, thanks for elaborating
Or just save yourself the trouble and pay for cloud storage - avoid spending your time on maintenance, data checks and off-site storage (in case your house burns down etc.). The value proposition is there unless you value your time very low, really have major security concerns or have extreme amounts of data.

Notably this article is from 2008, which is when Dropbox was first founded.
Usually this is done by means of Enumerated types. As someone who didn't get conventional CS education, Enums were bit of me-too for me, but the moment I realised they can be used to make invalid states unrepresentable, I was hooked.

Sure, they can be better in java, but they cover a large enough ground, and as always, most people find that sufficient.
It's called passion xD !!!
Can confirm. SSD are volatile storage. It's pretty much the worst option for long term backups.

I believe the spec only demands persistence if they're powered on at least once every 90 days, the same applies to USB sticks btw.

The data isn't lost after 90days, but bit rot occurs at a highly accelerated frequency. So you might not notice or care if there is a gray pixel in your image you've stored on your USB stick, but that's what it means to use volatile storage.
They claim the relationship is predatory which is exactly what I wrote.
> It means you are always facing a fair challenge.
You'd think that, but no.

From my experience in overwatch, the system tends to favor win and loss streaks instead.
You'll get 4-5 wins in a row, where the enemy team had no chance. Then 4-5 losses where your team was hopelessly outclassed.
Maybe you'll get a couple of games that are close and feel fair. But not many.
this reminds me of an artist that used to juts use a random motion with his pencil to paint. And that was it
Try installing a pi-hole in your home network. I set one up more for curiosity than anything else, but an unexpected side effect was that these local news websites, which were previously completely unusable on mobile, suddenly became just about tolerable again.
Montefiore Investment announces the sale of its stake in Gandi [pdf]
Yeah, but flights are relatively expensive and aren't scheduled as often as e.g. social media messages are sent. Also, you always have to be prepared for bursts of requests. And of course some new requirements can always be thrown in by management which may invalidate any assumptions you made about speed.
As a kid I once saw a quicksort implemented in BASIC and it looked like magic to me. I thought how could anyone come up with this algorithm….

Then I saw it implemented recursively in lisp…it was the simplest most obvious choice to make, and it was hard to imagine anything else.

Now I think that the BASIC implementation must have been a translation from the lisp or something equivalent and it would have been very unlikely that any native BASIC programmer would have come up with it on their own. Of course it used GOTOs.

With the proper abstraction level any complex algorithm becomes trivial.

If it's a web app, Heroku is a smooth experience; it lets you deploy by pushing a git repo.
It's not "being different" not having a smartphone to keep in contact with your peers is akin to being homeschooled /w no hobbies. You basically have no social circle to speak of.

Without a smartphone and access to the chat app of choice, you'll be left out of a good part of out-of-school socialisation. For example nobody gives out invites to birthdays on cards at class anymore, they do it via WhatsApp and you reply the same way.
Caching is a generic technology that can be used in lawful or unlawful ways.
> On the other hand I've heard the point made that if a clear night sky was as rare as northern lights or an eclipse, people would similarly be freaking out about it as a life-changing almost religious primal experience.

Which of course they are in large cities. And city dwellers often do have such a reaction to a clear night sky in a dark place where you can actually see all the stars.
Woah! I saw this on HN a while back, but forgot to bookmark it and lost it. I recognized the name instantly, glad to find it again, and will make sure to save for a weekend where I hate myself sufficiently to dive into this massive document!

This is the same issue as with plastic surgery. What people don't want is overdone and/or bad plastic surgery.

Very few people notice the good ones and just think it's natural.
> As I recall, it's less of a seasonal thing and more sheer luck. (I know the weather is hard to predict in general.)

I think it's largely due to "weather" on the Sun (although I believe you also need it to be a clear night on Earth in order to be able to see it properly)
Have you ever been a target of hate speech? Have any of your friends?

You act like everyone is super strong and can deal with hate speech. As if a gay or trans teen can always handle being told again & again that they're a disgusting monster, that they don't belong in this world and that people like them should die. Not everyone is strong enough to refute these opinions with their own. And then they kill themselves.
I do the same except I use Litestream (litestream.io/) for backing up SQLite. So far using fly.io was nothing but pleasant and allowed me to stop paying ~5EUR for a Digital Ocean droplet.
Isn’t it contradictory to say it’s the most frequent usage, and in the next sentence that no modern programming language does it?
If I had to plug a surf stick every time on the device to use it as a phone or to connect to the internet via 4G, then of course I'd rather have it integrated with the device already. Wireless connection is not a nice-to-have, it is the key feature.
>stuff like this makes you realize they're just another corporation trying to feed on the hype.

I see Corridor as a group of enthusiastic and knowledgeable people who used cutting edge technology to make what they wanted and they are doing this since forever, the video I linked also made me come to this conclusion, the fact that they set out to turn such silly concept into an anime is more about the fun than the money, i would feel extremely proud of such an achievement and that's probably what they feel too.
Out of curiosity, where do you propose such rights stem from?
And would you argue that those same rights were still "natural"/unalienable etc. even in a society that universally didn't accept them?
