> THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VERNACULAR ENGLISH (AAVE) MEANING OF "STANK"
"Stank" is an African American Vernacular English adjective that means "really stinks". “Stank” can also be an African American Vernacular English(AAVE) noun. One AAVE meaning for that noun is “someone or something who (that) really stinks”.
No past tense is meant or implied by the AAVE word “stank”.

> Although the word “stank” in the saying “Put some tank on it” originally meant to have an odorous (stinky) smell, the contemporary meaning of “stank” in that saying means to add your own unique flavor (style) to something that you do and in doing so, make it funky (with "funky" meaning "very good".

> The phrase "add some soul to it" and "add your own flavor to the mix" are synonyms for "Put some stank on it".

You’re not answering the question are you?
Assuming they're adults, offer to set up a camera feed in their bathroom and stream it. They don't mind, and you'd do the work, so it'd be no problem for them and a very specific type of audience would love it. They could likely even earn a bit of money doing it so it's win/win!

Maybe some people even think they believe it when they say it, but I've yet to see anyone who is willing to demonstrate it when pressed, and I've even met a few people who have claimed that they have no concerns at all about their privacy, but who then ended up feeling violated when even small things they assumed were private ended up being exposed.
The worst part of even trying to have a discussion about men's health and issues today is how often it devolves into arguments about male status in society.

If we had more empathy for one another it would be easier to solve the problem instead of arguing about who suffers most.

We all suffer, we should help each other suffer less.

I don't know if any of the people you mentioned should be considered good male role models. I think we should aspire to having exemplars who are more than simply heterosexual or a man, but who positively advocate for leading a purposeful life. "Look, here is a married fat person or a psychologist/gamer" doesn't quite cut it in my books, especially when then entire psychiatric profession labelled 'masculinity as a whole' as a _mental illness_.

The sad fact is that society as a whole idolizes celebrity and does not celebrate moral ways of living. People who do advocate for moral ways of living are either a) demonized or b) considered "fringe" groups, like the Mennonites. Sure, various organized religions or even community organizations (like the Scouts) have had their scandals - but maybe we've thrown the baby out with the bathwater a little bit. There are many signs that our society is sick and that our culture is in the decline (falling marriage and birth rates, suicide, decline in life expectancy, decline in children's IQ etc...) and there just isn't an easy answer.

Now, this is all separate and aside from men's issues, which are absolutely taboo to discuss. Anyone who even attempts to do so gets demonized. Jordan Peterson is a good example - his original message of how to live a responsible life and to own your 'destiny' can be very helpful, especially for men. Sure he is considered "cringe" and his online rants have become more and more unhinged. However, I consider this a _reaction_ to being demonized - originally, Peterson was very articulate, and there were many, many testimonials about how his books improved people's lives for the better. His story actually serves to discourage people who would otherwise speak up and improve the lives of people around them - here is someone whose message improved many lives and look what he became after years of constant vitriol and attacks.

"You can't complain about anything a company does because the free market will take care of it" is a very tired argument, and basically never true. Free market economics disproportionately helps large corporations over the end consumer.

> Before USB-C, EU had already standardized Micro-USB for phones.

No it hadn’t. The standard you’re referencing is simply an agreement between manufacturers, and was organised by independent standards organisations. It was not a regulation, and had nothing to do with the EU government.

Next year an actual regulation will come into effect, with the force of law, that will explicitly prohibit the forms of innovation and self-organisation that led to those industry bodies coming to that agreement in the first place.
Agreed. One of the more interesting things about AI is how it forces humanity on a trip to consider what it means to be human. There is no soul, creativity or inspiration. There's only (very complex) agency.

And that's completely fine.

Thank you for this! I've been thinking about this since the digital artists got up in arms about AIs coming for their corporate jobs of shoving more ads down our throats.

People with lots of money have always been able to buy other people's time to get ahead.
Neither Tim Cook or Jeff Bezos comes across as particularly charismatic. I would say they are in their positions because of their vision and execution, despite not being particularly charismatic.

So, if an AI CEO can execute better than human CEOs, it will dominate.

The increasing rate of technological progress worries me sometimes. One upside is the hope that malicious policy just won't be able to keep up with the rate of change.

It seems futile to fight these kinds of things, especially since if something isn't legal, it'll likely get done via some shady method (eg. mass surveillance).

I wonder what an emerging information system would look like where these kinds of policies just wouldn't be relevant. P2P? Turning away from online tech in general?

Somehow it’s in my mind that societies with an “over abundance” of men are more likely to be violent and go to war. I think I got it from sociology long ago.

If men aren’t taking their health seriously I wonder if it could reflect a societal stigma similar to an over abundance of men with similar outcomes.

Feels like we’re in that kind of historical swing at least.
It's surprising how these rash decisions are made with seemingly little thought. You'd think someone so successful would be logical... I guess it's optional.

This is a great framing. I also appreciated this similar idea in Matthew Butterick's blog:

> Before too long, we will not dele­gate deci­sions to AI systems because they perform better. Rather, we will dele­gate deci­sions to AI systems because they can get away with every­thing that we can’t. You’ve heard of money laun­dering? This is human-behavior laun­dering. At last—plau­sible deni­a­bility for every­thing. [1]

While in a corporation there's still a person somewhere who could be held accountable, AI diffuses this even more.

Life sucks for everyone (men, woman, children, etc.). Most “support” and charity towards those causes has been primarily through material means — merely acting like a band-aid or an anti-depressant to “keep you going, until — perhaps — one day your life improves and you don’t need it anymore.

There are a limited number of resources (physical, mental, emotional, human, etc.). Most of them have gone towards people that are viewed as being unable to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and soldier through the shit” — primarily women, and children to a lesser degree.

If you were to start supporting men, you would necessarily deplete the already bare resource that is human compassion — and deprive others of it (whether current, by redistribution and reallocation, or future and expected, I.e men’s issues become the new fad, as women’s issues have been, but overtake the latter). One can twist logic all one wants to try to find a way that isn’t true to balm the cruel reality of being alive — it is a constant effort to survive, and make the most of the resources in one’s environment (this goes for all living things).

This couples with the reality that women are more likely to “pull themselves up” via group and social dynamics —- I.e the reason why “women’s issues” are a thing (gravely overshadowing children’s issues, something I find more important, vital, and underrepresented — because children cannot organize together in any meaningful capacity). In contrast to men, who suffer alone and — perhaps — one day find the good fortune of life improving — rather than banding together or influencing others to help fix their own lives.

With all this in mind, I don’t think men’s issues will ever be a “thing” — except some passing fad that halfheartedly and halfassedly “addresses men’s issues.”

The main issue is that life is hard — it’s a constant struggle. The way women and children receive support is different than what men need. Men just need some peace and quiet to sort their shit out - and then do the work to build up their own social support networks (via community and other men) - if they so desire. The most straightforward way to do that would be to improve working conditions, access to sustainable employment, a place to rest that is both peaceful and affordable, and access to good affordable food.

But we all need that don’t we? And the apparently-less-abled are first in line to receive those resources — while men are in the back of the line.

> especially when then entire psychiatric profession labelled 'masculinity as a whole' as a _mental illness_

Wait, what? Where is masculinity in the DSM or ICD? I’m pretty sure being a guy isn’t a mental illness dude.

> I think we should aspire to having exemplars who are more than simply heterosexual or a man, but who positively advocate for leading a purposeful life

I think a guy who is dedicating his career on teaching men to celebrate going outside and making dude friends, the very small steps out of isolation and depression, on the platform where they are most likely to waste their lives in (twitch gamer streams) is precisely this kind of guy. He is actively building his life on encouraging other men to live positive, happy, fulfilling lives, one step at a time.

> Jordan Peterson is a good example - his original message of how to live a responsible life and to own your 'destiny' can be very helpful, especially for men.

Jordan Peterson says he advocates for men but also he advocated for a bunch of bs that had nothing to do with living a healthy life, like rah rah against pronouns. Dude pronouns have nothing to do with you as a man. Get over it.

I have no idea why people think AIs will be better at general intelligence than they are at driving cars. At least why they think GI will improve any faster than driving.
Yeah a bunch. Satellite monitoring of lightning strikes has been happening for years.

We also have hot spot detection from himawari and other satellites.

Also very common to have aircraft do FLIR camera runs over the bush on high danger days.

A few startups/researchers are looking at distributed sensor arrays with microphones and thermometers to detect ignitions earlier. That’s mostly in plantation forestry at this stage.

There’s also some work being done to enable the thermal/linescan flights from drones rather than aircraft. Idea being to bring the cost down and thus coverage up.
FoodNoms is an excellent food tracking app that populates nutrition information in HealthKit. It’s also an excellent iOS-native app.

Do you know we could keep people safer if we set car speed limits to 10 mph everywhere. We can make everybody wear safety helmets all the time. Maybe we could just prevent everyone from interacting with others, and we can just shut down all public spaces, and then disease would not spread.

Guess what, there's risk to everything we do. The science for radiation seems to contradict with the US government has dictated. But keeping the policy strict and in contradiction to what we know about radiation doesn't get people fired.
I know for sure that what you're saying was true around 10 years ago. Once apps like WhatsApp began to gain popularity in some countries, though, I've seen a few examples of carriers allowing for unlimited SMS and switching to focus on charging for data, like what has happened in the US. But off the top of my head, I can't think of a specific example. I don't think that my ideal "target market" would need both cheap SMS and censored internet access; for me, those are two different applications. If your internet access is censored, even just a small amount of information could prove to be very useful. The other application is countries with cheap SMS plans but expensive data plans, which, like you pointed out, has a pretty limited application.
Corporations have rights because they are owned by humans and those humans have rights. Corporations are just a convenient way to do things together, like conduct a business and own property. Corporate personhood is just a legal abstraction to represent those peoples’ rights, a facade pattern that lets multi-person groups neatly fit in existing laws that might discuss individuals.

Corporations like Citizens United can solicit donations from citizens who are fans and produce a pathetic hack-job movie about Hillary Clinton and pay to air it on cable TV, without the FEC saying “no,” because that’s an exercise of the free speech rights of citizens who are working together.

Corporations cannot vote because there is no meaningful legal way for people to vote together.

Corporations seldom need to be jailed because their crimes are actually committed by humans and you can send the humans to jail.

Not really. Roam is way out on a limb on its assumptions of how involved users want to be in the structuring of data, and is targeting the completely opposite audience to Apple: deep power users instead of maximal approachability.

If I were building a v1 of this iOS journal, I'd do the following:

1. Consolidated daily and weekly ledgers in a nice UI, basically a much fancier version of one of those generated Photos albums. Lets us scroll through to see our day with objects representing the activities across all the different apps we used.

2. Ability to attach a journal/note on anything in those ledgers, both individual objects (e.g. photos, a health reading, a convo in messages) and the overall day/week.

3. Reuse Notes' UX and formatting for these journals. No need to link between notes for v1, that's a power user feature.

4. Ability to attach journal entry from within individual app experiences like Health, Notes, Calendars, Photos, etc (possibly via Share Sheet, but perhaps more embedded), as well as link back to the main ledger when there are journals attached to those objects.

Honestly hearing that Apple is doing this makes me want to join them and work on this product. In my eyes, journaling needs to be an OS-level experience, because greater affordances for self-reflection are a core part of developing better executive function. Making reflection just another app competing against all the other apps and addictions and bullshit that our devices provide is a disservice to our sense of agency and self-determination; journaling and reflection need to sit atop these experiences.

I recall years ago reading a magazine article discussing the (at the time) market bubble for either Lionel-style toy trains or baseball cards. So this was probably early 1990s, and it pretty much tracked with when the kids of the late 1940s/early 1950s had reached career endgame and peak earning potential.

They literally had a timeline predicting that eventually video game consoles would have a similar bubble. I want to say I think they predicted it in the 2000s though, so perhaps they were off, but maybe the infographic was just loosely designed.
Ask HN: Determining compensation package based on consulting rate
A friend of mine is currently working as a consultant and is billing per hour. The issue is that the work comes and goes and therefore is considering joining consulting firms full time as an employee so she doesn't have to do marketing and sales. How does she determine what the compensation package should look like and what is the best way to negotiate/leverage given that she is currently engaged on a project working directly for a client similar to other clients of the consulting firm?
