It’s not about quality of life. Abuse victims will say they are happy, and stay with their abusers. War veterans can think fondly on their time at war, but neither are objectively good situations. Reporting that you are happy is not the same as being happy.
It didn't miss that. It just changes nothing. Women can be as varied as they like but if all that variance is falling within 20% of men then it's still pretty whack which is the point.

So sure one woman could pick x number of guys and another could pick a completely different set y. If x+y is only 20% then it means nothing. If anything, it just makes things worse for any individual guy.

In real life, you're way overstating the variance anyway. I think you kind of see that yourself when you use qualifiers like "overwhelmingly attractive".
And my memory of Florida law (when I was signing an apartment rental contract 4 years ago) was that any electronic signature agreed to by the contracting parties was valid. So I simply typed my name in the contract, emailed it to my landlord, and we were done.

Of course, I also used https:/.opentimestamps.org to store the hash of our contract on bitcoin's block chain, because that way we both had proof that the contract existed in a certain form on that date. (I never needed that proof, because he was a good landlord, and I paid rent on time.)
So in my echo chamber I rarely here the word "foreign" meaning outside of the country. I only hear it as: "This is different to me." I am been wondering for a while now: Where is this word really in use now? Do import cars become foreign outside of the city? Do your parents say this?

This is fascinating to me. I'm a 5'9 American guy who got married in my early 20s to a girl who I met in college the old-fashioned way (in-person through an extracurricular activity) before the iPhone existed. So I was just never aware at all that height is such a big deal for women until I started reading about it in discussions of these online dating services. I'm wondering:

1. Knowing this, don't guys just lie about their height in their profile?

2. Are most women really able to look at a guy in-person and know that he's 5'10 vs. 6'0? Or is it mostly abstract and only becomes an issue because height is explicitly listed in online profiles?
> By that logic, men should be getting happier if now they don’t need to do either the breadwinning or the child raising?

That doesn't follow from what they said. Men never had to do the child raising. Men probably do more childraising and housework than they used to do in the past, because they've been sharing domestic labor more as a result of the spread of feminism. OP is saying that the amount of work between a heterosexual couple has risen: before, it was the man doing a full-time salaried job, and the woman doing housework, cooking, shopping, and childraising as her full-time, unpaid job; and now they're both working full-time, and they have to split the domestic labor between them somehow, or, it's all on the woman and the man does no more than he used to do.

This is a bit oversimplified, though. There were always working-class women who worked as maids or in shops, or, in the 20th century, as teachers and secretaries. Those lower-class women just weren't paid that much. They always had a "second shift" [1], but since the 60s, it's spread to all women.

Ironically, "entitlement towards free services like uBlock origin" is exactly the kind of sentiment that leads to the use of ad-blockers in the first place.

So it can scarcely be surprising that the sorts of people blocking youtube abs because they want the content for free, are the same sorts of people that feel entitled to uBlock Origin's services for free.

If you want youtube's content without ads, then pay for it. If you despise ads, but refuse to pay, then don't watch youtube.

Wait... does that mean, Google could offer "DoubleClick Premuim", where I pay to not see any DoubleClick ads whatsoever, anywhere on the web, but the websites I visited would still get their funding? I think I'd pay $10/mo for that.
Yes, thank you for the reply.

Popper did have the idea of combating communism's claim of being a science or scientific materialism. And that's a pretty noble goal in my mind. His heart was in the right place.

I don't think Popper was going for that soft falsifiability - but if you modify his theory to do that, say it has to make some predictions, and only require that it should be falsifiable on the basis of it's predictions, you let in a lot of stuff in that obvious isn't science.

To take the obvious example of using exactly what Popper was trying to oppose. the current Chinese communist party's claim that capitalism will eventually transition into socialism once a certain level of development is achieved, it is a prediction, it will be falsifiable later. Clearly it is still not science.

But even if we give Popper the falsifiability angle and imagine there is some workable version of falsifiability, I still don't thik his theory works, it's just not a good reflection of day to day science and scientists.
Those are really nice pictures. Even more so because those were probably taken during much longer and slower runs. But even there, they show incredible form.

No, Google still is an ad company. I do not want my identity and payment info tied to my watch history. I do not trust Google to not use my data for monetization outside of youtube (e.g., selling my 'anonymized' user persona to data aggregators). Hence, using a google account to get youtube premium is not an option.
And very tendentious.
I would say that you're right in some sense: most women are fine with someone respectfully asking them out. But the tricky part here is that there is a minority of women (say, the most sensitive 10%) who get genuinely upset or feel harassed by an indicator of interest in any given setting. When you're asking people out, you don't know what a particular woman's boundaries are upfront, and if you ask out the wrong woman, it can genuinely mess up your social or professional circles. This applies in friend groups and even if you look for positive indicators of interest: one woman might think giving a lingering hug is her being very explicit about her interest, while another thinks of a hug as obviously purely playonic and reacts very negatively if you take that as an okay to express your own interest.

Dating apps prefilter for "acceptable to indicate interest to" and let you avoid an ambiguous landscape that's impossible to perfectly navigate.

primality checking is much easier that factoring. it's somewhat unintuitive, but there are deterministic methods of primality testing that don't tell you the factors.

I don't understand your stance.

You seem to be claiming that the ability to determine whether a number is prime or not is extremely difficult and that it would break (some) cryptography if it were no so. My stance is that (some) cryptography would not be broken unless factorisation of large numbers into two large primes becomes easy.

Can you clarify how you think that some cryptography is broken by a relatively simple test of whether a large number is prime or not?
no, there's a lot that we need before we can even begin to improve this

even with a database of current laws as they exist right now, the laws to change them primarily come in 2 forms:

1. verbatim additional laws

2. instructions that are essentially diffs to the current law. what words to change, strike out, sections to re-arrange and modify, as well as new lines of code. these have to be spliced in to the prior state of the law

and after we have all that, laws are often following different logic. like logic gates. One set of laws may be using "and" as a set of conditions that must be satisfied all as one, but it also could be using "and" and an "exclusive or", a set of conditions where only one has to be satisfied. but when writing it, those things all flowed grammatically and harmonization of laws wasn't prioritized.

there's a whole lot that can be improved that we don't have the infrastructure to do just yet. someone could do it, but that's the first step.
That "usually" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

My best relationships are ones that have felt effortless from the start. The ones where I had to put in more effort to make the connection work ended up not being as good.

In fact, I spent too long trying to "fix" the mediocre relationships because I was hung up on the same cognitive bias you're espousing: that quality comes out of effort.

In fact the effort indicated that the match wasn't right. It was a hint that our libidos and psyches weren't meant to be forced together.

Simplistic models of the world, like assuming effort = quality, are the mainstays of hackernews/engineering minds because of our need to quantify everything into the most generally applicable predictable patterns. When those patterns don't line up, one has to reckon that making armchair declarations about the world is as prone to cognitive biases as the "wrong" mentalities those declarations eschew.

Isn't the entire point of technological progress offloading the high effort of all the needs and wants of life from humans to machines? Why have technology if it can't make things easier?

I get annoyed when I send a message to my doctor and it takes 3 back-and-forths to get a message from him, and not the nurse. The nurse's advice tends to be along the lines of what I would find with Google, some semi-relevant copy/pasted advice. I get the sense that they make the messaging system useless so that you have to sign up for appointments/video appointments. They know that for GP appointments, you only pay 30 bucks or so, but they get paid 10x that by your insurance company.

I try to resist this, partly because I generally don't need an appointment to answer a simple question, and partly because this is one of the causes of rising insurance premiums.

Yes. That's precisely the point. What's the difference between "X manager" and a "project manager" when the X itself is obviously a project?
That still doesn’t help the fact that no woman says “you know I really like short fat guys”.

As incellish as that sounds, I am 50 and I have been happily married for 13 years and before that unhappily married for four from the time I was 28-32. But my dating life mostly sucked in my 20s as a five foot 4 decently successful guy, in great shape as a part time fitness instructor, outgoing, and with a modicum of social skills.

A guy who is not financially successful and who is tall has a much better chance in the dating or at least the hookup pool than a short person who is financially successful.

Personally, I am weary of the notion of “actual science” since science is not a well-defined term. The demarcation problem isn’t solved; and philosophers like Fayerabend in his book “Against method” suggest that science is more of an anarchic enterprise than any particular set of methods.

Take any criterion and apply it too strictly and there is some scientific discovery/progress in history which violates the rules and wouldn’t pass for “science” given any definition…

Take any given methodological approach - and you will always find counter examples in scientific history.

Almost like genius isn’t algorithmic.
You have a point in that to understand any particular subject well, it makes sense to read more than one book on it, at least to compare the different perspectives.

> Israel's PR sucks and it's not that powerful. Public opinion changes on a dime.

Not really. It's pretty rabidly pro genocide and pro Israel in my country. I don't know what would have to happen for this to change. Minister of defense even suggested leaving UN after the last UN GA vote.

> I'm not denying there was violence against Arabs by Jews. I'm not denying there's settler harassment and land grabs. That does not justify the violence from the Arab side.

So the violence of one side doesn't justify the violence on the other side? Then we agree.

> The morality of building a settlement on occupied territory (from Jordan) is not equivalent to the morality of shooting a baby in the head in front of their parents.

That's just some cherry-picked example. I can just as well tell you that shooting children into knees or heads over the fence is not equivalent to throwing some rocks, etc. This random cherry picking will lead nowhere.

Anyway, this is just a mirror argument to the one above. Either rights apply to both side, or to none of them.

Current example of a war crimes would be usage of starvation of civilian population as a means of warfare.

Yeah but would you date/marry a house husband? If you are earning big bucks you kind of need someone to stay home and take care of the kids/house/laundry/dinner etc. For one most mothers never trained their boys for that role but even if some did would you seek that man out for dating? I would guess not, so it’s an adverse selection problem with adverse results

I'll try to explain why I use adblock, use YouTube, but won't be paying for YouTube premium.

First of all, I absolutely will not have ads in my own home. Ads are bad enough in public, but they will not be in my home. This is completely non-negotiable.

So then, what are my choices? Well there are paid-for services like Netflix, for example. This is a straightforward choice for me: I either pay for it or I don't. Simple.

Then there's the web. The web is essentially a public place. It thrives because it's free at the point of access. Unlike netflix, YouTube put itself on the web. It would not have become anywhere near what it is if it were like Netflix and behind a paywall. They used their "free" and "public" image to make themselves the only place on the internet for videos.

What they want is to have their cake and eat it too: they want to be the dominant public platform, but they want guaranteed revenue like Netflix too.

What I want is just to pay for my bandwidth fairly. If I pay for YouTube (which I must because remember ads are non-negotiable) then I'm not going to pay for any other platform. So YouTube grows as a monopoly. This is not the web.

So you might say, well just stop using YouTube then, but why should I? I don't want to use YouTube. I'm not there because of anything they deliver, I don't care about 4K quality or whatever. I'm there because I want to learn how to put up a shelf. A lot of that videos are posted by people thinking they are doing a public service and sharing knowledge. If YouTube were behind a paywall then they'd post them somewhere else.

So they just need to make up their mind. You want money? Then don't be public. Watch other platforms grow overnight. Watch P2P video sharing grow (which is how it should be). You want to be public and be the only video platform? Then I'll be blocking the ads when I try to access video in the only practical way I can.

Also, if this is about the cost then why not get the uploaders to pay for it? After all, it's their content that's being stored. Again, because if they did that then YouTube would not be the Borg of video content that it is.
One point I don't see mentioned:

YouTube is not the creator/owner of the content. There are even channels that are actively against the advertising business model and that rely on off-platform subscriptions and donations. I.e. the creator still gets value even if no ads show on their videos.

YouTube still shows ads on those channels though. And the more eyeballs and YT subscriptions these channels get, the more YT makes money off them.

Now what percentage of viewers use ad blockers? 5%? 10%?... YT still makes money off the rest. It's not like those are a worrying cost center to YT. Why then go to those extremes to shave the last penny of the last person who really strongly does not want to see the ads (which potentially undermines the advertiser's purpose of making you like their product)?
Isn't it the other way around? Projects tend to never end. Products eventually get released.
> It also feels awful to be called a beggar and a panhandler just because you're trying to find a balance and build a sustainable project by having a donation popup (that can be disabled) in your software.

Interrupting someone's browsing experience to ask for donations is both providing a poor user experience and is in poor taste. I think it's fine to solicit donations in the browserAction popup, the settings page or even the initial installation window, but doing so elsewhere would deservedly be criticized.
In a very meaningful way the line between physician and non-physician had been blurring anyway.

There's a software called Epic which is used by virtually all large healthcare centers, and while most know it as a database system to store patient history and health records (problems and conditions they've been diagnosed for, lab work results, medicine they're currently taking or have taken in the past), it also has a little tab where a healthcare worker can put in some keywords, e.g. the symptoms a patient has, and Epic guidelines gives the health-provider an action plan for that patient, as well as guiding them with differential diagnoses for non-simple issues.

Of course for common ailments a nurse practitioner knows as much as a primary care physician anyway and their treatment plans wouldn't differ, but the thing is a physician basically effectively will also only follow one script that the healthcare/insurance system in-place allows for, that Epic will spit out also.

In the same way some of us see the task of building a CRUD app as something fairly unremarkable (owing to existing frameworks, existing 'best practices' etc), a physician's day-to-day work is really not challenging, and a "people-person" non-physician equipped with Epic software could arguably work to deliver equal or if not better healthcare outcomes.

Before markets figured out how to take advantage, there have been several situations where electricity prices were regularly negative… they would pay for you to consume energy.

When solar hits a certain ratio of production there will be a daily peak where electricity will be very cheap because there’s too much of it, regardless of what people “advocate”.

Electrochemistry things are where it’s at, metal refining specifically.

Aluminum production from ore has one step where you literally just make what is effectively an enormous battery out of aluminum ore and “charge” it, when it’s fully charged you’ve turned aluminum oxide into pure aluminum. It can even be run backwards to produce electricity because it’s literally a battery (a really shitty one). So there’s not a huge capital investment or complex process and electric input is actually a significant portion of the cost.

Other simple electrochemistry things that do have a major portion of the cost in electricity can do the same when costs get low enough. There’s a lot of recycling that becomes possible with cheap clean energy that you would never do with fossil fuel electricity.
