I have a different perspective on this:

I'm a man who's currently deeply lonely, depressed, and struggling with poor self-esteem. I hear feminists talking about "toxic masculinity". But none of what they say feels applicable to me. I've never been violent; I'm currently trying therapy for the third time; and I can't remember even a single time when someone told me to "man up". So, while I'm sure toxic masculinity is a real problem for some men, I don't feel like it's the issue that's hurting me personally.

The issues that do feel like they're hurting me personally are things like:

* Negative stereotypes of men as incompetent, boorish, etc.

* The widespread attitude that "men suck"

* The stereotypes of socially awkward men (like me) as gross/creepy/neckbeards/etc.

* Difficulty navigating expectations around how dating and relationships are supposed to work, especially as a socially awkward man

The feminist movement does a great job of addressing the issue of toxic masculinity. But when it comes to the issues I listed above, many feminists don't take them seriously, and some feminists are actually making them worse:

* A feminist in this thread making excuses for the "incompetent, boorish dad" stereotype in media: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36473710

* A feminist in this thread making excuses for saying "men suck": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36474484

* That time when a socially awkward man talked about his feelings (https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=2091#comment-326664) and a feminist said some extremely toxic things in response (https://web.archive.org/web/20150113081455/http://www.rawsto...) (Yes, that controversy was eight years ago, but it's really stuck with me)

Now, I'm definitely not trying to say that "feminism is terrible" or anything like that. Feminists are fighting the good fight on many gender-equality issues. Feminism arguably deserves credit for why I never had to struggle with toxic masculinity, and I'm grateful for that. But at the same time, there are unfortunately some really shitty people in the feminist movement, and they're are causing real harm to people like me. And my experience has been that the feminist movement defends and enables those people, rather than letting them be held accountable.

So my reaction to the article is: I know toxic masculinity is a real problem, and I'm glad feminists are fighting against that problem. But the problems that are hurting me personally are different from toxic masculinity, and unfortunately some feminists are actually exacerbating my problems. So, when I hear feminists blaming most/all of mens' problems on toxic masculinity, that actually feels to me like it's derailing the conversation from the issues that are most important to me.

I hope my perspective helps you see another side of the issue.

The daylight between instituting a parenting license and eugenics is not very much.
Can you write a paragraph on what patriarchy is and what the harm it inflicts on boys is? Preferably without referring to emotional neglect or detachment but explaining the underlying mechanism itself?

Ideologies are not something you are, people are not patriarchy-ists. Ideologies are something you do, which means people act in a patriarchal way, likely based on ideological reasons, often without ever consciously thinking about the underlying ideology. To better understand patriarchy, what are some examples of people "doing" patriarchy?

How do I test if something is patriarchy?

Once your consider the x-axis of time, I think it's clear that nuclear will not help us decarbonise, or at best will be a bit player. If nuclear becomes useful, it will likely be after we have already solved carbon-free energy systems, and come into play only because it has somehow become cheaper than other terrestrial methods of electricity generation, storage, and distribution.

Interesting. What are the emulators you tried on PC and phone?
I work for a company which sells code and we are a counter example. We make gradual changes in the development stack and processes, every change needs a reason, and even though some changes are necessary, they will not be implemented soon.

Some possible factors are that the company is not that big and we have a feature list to deliver. We are not VC, so we cannot afford to burn money. The devs churn is low, so we don't need to be attractive to many people all at once.

TBH, I don't like it all the time, but it works and our clients are happy with the results.

I wish sqlite was performance focused. Perf is pretty much always worse than a db server, even after tuning the pragmas (the way it locks tends to limit single threaded perf and concurrency). Main benefit of sqlite is just its portability since you can easily embed it. It's nice for slapping a db backend on a client installed app, where trying to spin up a db server would be problematic.

There's probably an extension for permissions in sqlite but out of the box the db files are plaintext (you need an extension for that).

Along this same thought - if you know anyone who has ever adopted the process and review procedures of the adoptive parents can be intense... and this is for people who desperately WANT to be parents, meanwhile at least in the USA you have a ton of people not being able to terminate a pregnancy that they are not prepared for and this leads to children raising children, hurting both.
> If the "wrong" groups have something to offer in the way of second fathers, maybe their values aren't as bad as expected. Nobody wants to even consider that. If only The Bad Guys are making sense about some issues, what else might they be correct on?

Some of those “wrong groups” are just flat out scammers and charlatans though - see those “alpha male” influencers hawking their courses or whatever. They are taking advantage of a need in others to enrich themselves without really giving a damn about their charges.
Same happened to "incels". Support forum overtaken by toxic desperate people, then grifters. And, to be honest, similar is happening to conservatism. I personally don't care much for traditional values and such, but I see the point of at least arguing for them. But now, you can't really do that, as populist politicians effectively highjacked it.

Conversely, it's equally as perplexing to conclude that milk does not cause any of these diseases because there exists an inverse relationship between milk consumption and rate of incidence over time. Correlation does not equal causation, and is especially irrelevant when comparing different countries in different time periods for diseases that are known to have multiple causes.

I can't vouch for the study as I haven't read it, but it's quite reductive to dismiss what appears to be a comprehensive study mainly focused on biological pathways because there happens to be a negative correlation between Irish people drinking milk and rates of modern disease.
As the article and the parent comment makes clear, this was done on behalf of organizations including Elsevier and IEEE. Surely it's within their powers to not pay money to lawyers to do their dirty work?

dont get me wrong, but compared to coal/gas/others nuclear is the safest, even compared to hydro, if we add chernobyl, a much worse situation, still its the safest and since excess solar/wind is also stored with hydro, nuclear still remains the safest and most reliable. And with nuclear recycling (France, Japan...) its environment footprint is orders of magnitudes lower compared to others
> so they'd need to build entirely new distribution functionality in addition to the backdoored app.

In to order to do debugging or a slow rollout, I can see them implementing this in their backend. They’re can target updates at least by some combination of properties. Once that’s in place it might not be hard to throw a unique identifier in there as well.
Amen, plus all the folders in the search path, so sweet know where to properly override defaults.
The key failure seems to be a lack of attention to technical details and costs.

There are big PR pushes, trying to convince people that nuclear is back as if it's a political problem or people just need to have good vibes. But in reality it's all a massive construction project, and the best vibes in the world are no substitute for a dedicated team of highly skilled planners with deep knowledge who don't put up with any bullshit. That dedicated team is what nuclear has been missing, not the rah-rah bystanders cheering from the sidelines. Yet I never see much effort out into the actual management of these projects...
XML can be simpler. In C# you could generate an XSD from a good XML example, then fix it up and generated typed, nested C# code. You now have a builder and validator for the stuff you send across the wire.

You can sort of do the same with JSON though to be fair, in theory, and there are probably tools, but it wouldn't be as tight and then the "XSD" part I am not sure if there is a single spec to go with.

Overall though, I prefer JSONland!
I bet you look great though.
>I wouldn’t worry so much about the storage issue. We currently build and deploy batteries that are inside shipping containers, effectively solving our storage issues.

Sorry but that conclusion is incorrect. Batteries, in their current lithium form, are absolutely not suitable for gridscale storage. They're far too expensive.

In Australia a $100 million battery, if it could discharge at an infinite rate, could only meet the demand of a city of 2 million people for about 48 seconds.

Lithium batteries are for grid stabilisation - the absorb short term spikes in demand and generation.
This doesn't tell you the current running configuration, it tells you the current configuration on disk. These should be the same, but aren't always. I personally have a nasty habit of forgetting to reload configs. I make sure to leave them in a syntactically valid state, but I really don't care if someone can't access my webserver for a while; if I have to go, I add a quote and a curly bracket, save, and close my ssh session. If my 5 minutes away runs into tomorrow, then I no longer remember what's been changed (I manage this these days by making /etc a git repo with an ignore list and stashing incomplete changes...then forgetting to commit them when I'm done)

> most adults don't rely on a handrail to descend stairs.

And that is inherently unsafe. You take that risk, and it is your fault alone if you are injured because of it.

> enormous amount of proof

This was a work site, there are cameras everywhere. If the CCTV shows you running down the stairs without use of the hand rail and falling, that is more than sufficient evidence that you broke your own legs.

> why were [stairs] so dangerous

They’re fucking stairs. No amount of padding or landings can successfully mitigate falling in a way that breaks your body. And both come with large downsides. The best I have ever heard for padding is carpet, which requires regular deep cleans and can become smoothed over time, increasing the likelihood of a fall. And landings require far more space than one might think, and only help so much.

The stairs were OSHA compliant and fully safe if one takes them properly. The problem was that individual decided they were above safety and permanently damaged their body as a result.
When I was first driving (nearly 20 years ago..woof), one of the roads the went to my parent’s house was absolutely treacherous with deer - way worse than any other road in the area. You had to be on guard and I had two incidents where deer ran into my fully stopped car.

Now? There are still plenty of deer there, but they no longer spook at all. I don’t slow down one bit, and they often just keep eating on the side of the road. I guess all of the spook-genes died out in that area as cars were a bigger danger than coyotes and hunters.

I worked a decade in public sector digitalisation in Denmark, where for some reason they still use a lot of SOAP and thus XML. I’m not so against XML in theory, but I hate it in practice.

You’d have these completely over engineered solutions where you’d basically need to call a separate micro services for every “field” of anything. So if you wanted a name, a ssn, and, an address for a citizen you’d need to make several calls. We ended up buying an API for the APIs, but that is besides the point I’m trying to make. The point is that it was very designed, but the XML. Well… you’d have things like:

<ssn ssn=“123”/><id>123</id> and worse. And it’s like, why would they spend all that time designing micro-service and data architectures and then output really inconsistent and often even standards breaking XML? But I know why, because out of the maybe 300 different systems to output XML that I’ve worked with over the years, none of them did it “right”.

If the future is XML then we better step up our game!
>Granted. However, even though we can never fully understand another person, we can still demand that nobody in the room calls for the elimination of another group of people, even as a "joke" or "expression of anger" or similar.

To clarify, I was explaining what the type of person who would write that believes and why they would write it, because that question was asked in the thread. I don't agree with the slogan, I am just able to explain the thought processes and background of those who do.

>Because jokes are used by extremists to gauge the tone of the rest of the group, and, if the group is conducive, they magically aren't jokes anymore.

I'm familiar with the concept you're discussing but I don't think it applies here. For one, it's not a joke - it's insincere, but not humorous. For another, I have known neo-Nazis (I have worked in deradicalisation, specifically exit programs for young men in neo-Nazi groups) who would do the whole "day of the rope" thing and claim they were joking but were actually chomping at the bit to enact it, and I would consider myself well-equipped to judge whether these "kill all men" people were "secretly serious" like those neo-Nazis are. Genuinely, they really weren't.

Or, to put it another way, out of the people I knew who would be willing to say or agree with the slogan "kill all men", if they were in a social situation where they had the opportunity to contribute to the slaughter of a group of men in a socially supported way, they would not contribute and would almost certainly actively resist if they weren't having some sort of nervous breakdown at being in such an unusual situation. The same is not true for neo-Nazis or theocratic Islamists or some other groups that I have interacted with who are calling for the death of people with contingent insincerity - outside of a few of the younger members of those groups, given a social situation which allowed them to act out said social murder they would do it, and they all know it, as does anyone who interacts with them for any length of time. That's why I don't think the analogy is valuable, because in a practical sense these people aren't actually engaging in domestic terrorism and don't have any power to enforce their beliefs even if they were sincere, and also because I am familiar with the dynamics of the phrase and the sort of people that say it and they would not actually support mass murder even in an imaginary social context which was specifically supportive of that.

Look I don't know who bullied you in school, but there's no need to condescend to a group of people who actually take a pay cut to research things that aren't "cutting edge." I don't agree with Einstein's philosophy, but I don't think that trying to understand things from a philosophical perspective is useless. I also feel like its ridiculous to think that tweaking models and looking at mathematical formulas all day actually tells you anything about the world itself, it just tells you what we think about the world. And if you never actually stop to question what it is that you're thinking about, or why you think about it in a certain way, then you'll go on thinking forever and you'll never actually find what you were looking for in the first place.
Isn't that the point of X-ray spectroscopy? As a layperson I don't know of any point in trying to "photograph" a single atom, but surely being able to do spectroscopy on a single atom is really useful.
Totally agree, great read. AFAICT the core argument is about how “complex systems” are complex, and machines are less complex than brains because brains have quantum magic. I feel like that’s a MASSIVE oversimplification of complexity theories (based on the very light touches I got in school years ago), kinda like papers about how the presence of “imaginary” numbers proves that there’s a multiverse or other terminology misapplications.

it is easy to paint XML as anachronistic, and as crude serialization format it certainly is. but as many analogies, that only goes so far. there is still the excellent tooling (XSLT, DTD, schematron..) and the fact that there are elaborate data modeling use cases still using it because there is nothing that comes close to that combination of expressivity and tooling. take for example the TEI: https://tei-c.org you could do it with OWL or UML of course, but would you, really? in some ways we haven't really explored the possibilities of data modeling. there is things that json+some schema will never be able to do.

ps: i enjoyed the article.
Surely there needs to be some amount of training with both models in the loop before it can be considered a multimodal system.
I don't know. The US has the biggest public support for nuclear power amoung all western nations and even amoung the world is close to top. Also a lot of public figures that are vocal advocates of nuclear power are Americans. The most powerful group of voters (due to the two party system), the independents, favor more investment in nuclear power. So I don't see this at all.
I had the equivalent of XMLHttpRequest LONG before XMLHttpRequest existed, back in the IE4 days. I did it by creating a tiny iframe with the target URL and then retrieving its contents. Never mind that I could also read users' hard drives, but I had AJAX long before AJAX was launched.

Unfortunately there was a period of time when Microsoft patched the security issues with iframes and that was no longer possible, but it was fun for a while to have a taste of the future.
Not in itself but the end result can be, parasites aside. I had a friend in high school that ran/exercised (wayyy) too much, studied too much, and needed surgery to fix a receding gumline when she was 16 or 17 from overbrushing. That would be just one example.
