> Bottom line, people are naturally good because that's what gets humans reproducing. No god needed

This flies in the face of survival of the fittest, species fitness, and all sorts of other evolutionary ideas. There is also lots of evidence that humans are not naturally good and that this does not get humans reproducing. The most reproducing man in history, Genghis Khan was not very good at all.

It also skirted around the other point that atheists do not live their lives as if they were meaningless, which they purport to believe.

If it’s a numbers game, it’s just more likely to happen in some areas vs others. This has little to do with one’s quest for self-improvement, however we define that.

Teen Pregnancy and Risk of Premature Mortality
To be clear, it was not an answer to a question. It was a reply to a commenter (not the OP) dumping on an unrelated question about job advice. At no point did anyone ask for dating advice.

> All systemic problems of the kind you're talking about involve the behavior of a specific group. Otherwise, you're talking about, what? All humans? All mammals? How is that useful to a guy trying to find a girl?

You're not wrong at some level, but phrasing matters a lot when you're talking about sensitive topics like this! Someone commenting on "stark" differences in "behavior" comes off as much more of a creep than someone making the more general point that it can be harder to find someone with a gender skew.

By the way, the idea of a gender skew has been disputed -- apparently, Berkeley has more female students than male ones. You can find other comments pointing that out.

> What motivation do most men use to get their act together? Women. That's not a bad thing. It's human nature.

I don't think that's true -- I've never heard any of my male friends say they were inspired by anything like that. Even if it is the case, it doesn't seem that much like human nature.

Personally speaking, the idea of getting my act together so I can find a partner is completely alien to me. My main motivation for getting my act together has been so I can fulfill my responsibilities to the people (and animal) I care for.
Thanks loads, I always love a day when I learned something neat, and you’ve made that happen today!!
Here's an article from a few years ago about the high male/female ratios in the dating population in the Bay Area. San Jose ("Man Jose"!) was particularly high [1].

Probably anyone who has spent significant time in an environment with a significant difference in gender ratios will have personally observed that this tends to change behave of people of both genders in those environments in regard to dating compared to people of the same gender in more balanced areas or in areas where the balance goes the other way.

Subsidies and tariffs have very specific meanings. They get at the same goal of increasing domestic production, but one increases government spending while the other increases government revenue through an import tax. Ultimately the domestic consumer pays either through taxes or increased prices, but they are very different mechanisms.

Its overly simplistic to assume that a subsidy will increase prices and harm the economy. We have been subsidizing corn for decades and it has kept prices artificially low. Prices for corn and downstream products like beef are artificially low specifically because of federal subsidies.

If a subsidy creates domestic jobs it could have a net benefit. The ultimate question is what metrics are impacted and at what rate. If domestic jobs are created fast enough to increase demand for employees, wages could rise faster than prices.

I have no idea what the end result would be, but that's ultimately my point. Economic models are just that, models. Models are based on analysis of past events and assumptions if the future. We don't know what we don't know, and we often don't recognize how inaccurate models are when we simplify them down to a handful of measurements.

To your original point, hospitals do seem reasonable to focus on with regards to stability through simplified supply chains. Chips may help there, our hospitals are dependent on a huge amount of tech today. Paper, silicon, and metal products would also likely be high on the list as they are often treated as consumables - the consumable nature of those products may make them more important than chips.
Hi, are you testing if you get a response? This ain’t bumble.
Thou art a knave, a rascal, and a fool,

Whose wit is dull, whose words are but a tool

To spread thy ignorance and petty spite,

And cast aspersions on a lady's plight.

Thou speakest of the Bard with reverence due,

Yet fail to see the point, which should be true:

That women of that time were oft denied

The chance to let their talents be espied.

Thou makest false comparisons, weak and vain,

Of siblings who in diff'rent spheres did reign.

'Tis not of footage or of dunks we speak,

But of the chances lost, the voices meek.

Thy words betray a mind that's closed and small,

That cannot see beyond its narrow wall.

Thou rail'st against the learned and the wise,

Yet 'tis thy own defects that meet our eyes.

So hold thy tongue, thou churlish, clownish knave,

And let the truth, once hidden, now be grave.

Yep, societies just don't function until you establish a central bank with fiat currency and fractional reserve banking. It's a law of human nature.
Great question! As of now, we handle those cases well since we have 14 integrations, and most words/phrases are easily resolvable to a sequence among them. One thing we're focusing on now that will be more important with a larger scale of integrations is making automation creation conversational, so when there's uncertainty we can clarify in chat with low latency to keep time to value minimal.

We think one of the big differences between Zapier and DryMerge is that we abstract a lot of the data flow/configuration away from the user, which lowers time to value and lets us do cool semantic filtering and other LLM-powered backend stuff.

If you care about privacy/tracking in 2024 there are basically two paths (not mutually exclusive):

1. Fight it at the polling booth and support things like the EFF.

2. Become a hard target for anyone but advanced actors with you on their short list.

Door #2 depends on what you mean by “advanced actor”, short of being Moxie Marlinspike or something, if Cozy Bear or 8800 or TAO/Equation Group wants you, they’re gonna get you. They’ve got people posing as employees in all the big shops (which to their credit have whole teams devoted to finding and ejecting them but with a clean passport long-term planning it’s an uphill fight).

As with all security, it’s a numbers game that comes down to three key principles:

1. Make the default flow the secure flow.

2. Decide who you trust to get the details right that your adversary understands better than you do.

3. Have multiple layers of security drawn from the list you get from #2.

My infosec story is still a mess, but it’s starting to become a known mess that I’m cleaning up in an organized way.

On #2: I trust Brad Fitzpatrick so I trust TailScale and run it everywhere. I trust Moxie so I trust Signal. I trust Proton for a few reasons, not least of which is that Reddit and Google and Meta and many, many others give you a bunch of grief coming in off a ProtonVPN exit node: Reddit won’t even let you connect, Google hits you with wild levels of CAPTCHA on e.g. Workspace OpenID connect, and Meta superficially connects but breaks in weird ways it shouldn’t even by “post laid everyone off” standards.

Brave is my compromise between usability and privacy, it’s got decent defaults that crank up really high (per-use permissions on WideVine is a great example, most major browser vendors just opt you in silently, it also fights AMP and does a fair amount of tracker blocking).

ProtonVPN is aggressive by default and has a few “sledgehammer” modes (e.g. Secure Core), and it can be configured to take down your effective connection if it fails to negotiate. It also does split WireGuard by default and so it plays nice with TailScale out of the box.

DuckDuckGo and Yandex both return stuff (e.g. torrents to leaked model weights) that Google censors, though obviously with Yandex you’re trading the old boss with one agenda for the new boss with a different one.

On LLMs, the Orca de-tunes of Mistral-8x7 are very operator-aligned and run just fine on mid-spec Macs or gaming-class PCs and you can build llama.cpp from a small-ish codebase you can easily grep for obvious icky shit (and I trust ggerganov).

Still an answer to a question. Do you see the direction this keeps going? You keep contradicting yourself.

> Someone commenting on "stark" differences in "behavior" comes off

And what does that matter? Do you think if he quoted some research it would have "come off" better? It wouldn't have. You fail to grasp why some people have an issue with what the professor said. It has nothing to do with how he said it.

It's hard to know what's good advice, but I don't think it's a good idea to be careless about dating. Realistically, after college it will be dramatically more difficult to find someone. In retrospect, finding each other was probably the most important thing my wife and I did at school. Once you're an adult, things stop happening by default for you and you have to make them happen. So sure, don't obsess because that's off-putting, but also be strategic about what's important to you (unfortunately the time to do that is probably when picking a school, assuming you have the luxury to do that).

Rates of unmarried people are on a steep increase[0]. If a family is important to you, go somewhere where that's more likely to happen (e.g. good dating odds, other people with similar goals). The bay area is probably not that place for either sex.

I don't think it requires giving up on "affordable global flight". It might be a bit more expensive -- getting aircraft to be tens of decibels quieter cost something, too.

Externalities -- whether they're noise imposed on a community or climate impacts -- aren't generally addressed by the market on its own.

Indeed, we have a new regulatory regime coming into play for airplane emissions slowly-- with first effects in 2028.

This isn't true though. You're mixing up divine and human interpretations.

Divinity just "is". Existence is defensible. Human interpretation is necessarily always incomplete because you can't condense divinity into something measurable. It just doesn't make sense in human terms.

What we can do, and what faith entails, is that we can measure existence piecemeal and trust that it still fits together.
Speculation is just a kludge trying to speed up a legacy architecture. It is possible to obtain speed even without speculation, just not without some other fresh ideas.

I mean, it's already happening all over the world. It's not just Germany.

The UK already taxes carbon in aviation fuel. It's about to implement a carbon pricing mechanism for jet fuel obtained in jurisdictions without it.

The EU is implementing carbon taxes, and a mandate for Sustainable Aviation Fuel. In 25 years, it will be illegal across the EU27 to use aviation fuel that is not at least 70% Sustainable Aviation Fuel.

China has the world's largest emissions trading program. Civil aviation will be included next year.

Australia has a carbon tax, and will soon have mandates on civil aviation emissions.

Brazil does not yet have a carbon tax, but in the past year there has been legislation proposed, and it looks likely to be coming sometime soon.

The US EPA just announced regulations that will not force, but will certainly make it cost prohibitive to sell lots of gasoline cars ten years from now. Civil aviation is a likely next target.
Entrapment is a practice in which a law enforcement agent or an agent of the state induces a person to commit a "crime" that the person would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit.
