I think you've got cause and effect backwards. Men are withdrawing because they are not being selected by women. Freed from social pressures that used to act as a brake on hypergamy, women are following their natural instinct to pursue

Great comment. It's also kind of weird that people get hung up about the photoshopping, when literally nothing about how those photos are taken is "real". You're taking someone who is already the top 1% of physical beaut

I often wonder how someone like Dan Abramov manages to square his obviously strong social conscience with working for Facebook.

I think the hypocrisy of this stands out in tech more than other industries, because people have got used to the idea of tech "making the world a better place" and being a force for good. There are bright people making lots of mon

> Don’t do it Ha, it's amazing how you people always talk in the same way. Literally ordering other people what to do. Yet you object to being called the "language police". It's priceless.

I agree - this kind of misinformation is so widespread now. It seems completely counter productive. The other bit of widespread misinformation is the 2m/6ft distancing thing. It's just an arbitrary number. Weirdly the fearmongerin

Until recently I would have said the same thing as you, but I'm increasingly convinced that the drastic changes (closing schools, social distancing etc) are exactly what we should be doing to spread the peak out. The peak is coming eit

One thing I don't understand is how the UK infection rate has stayed so low up until now. It seems to be pretty much blind luck.

This is fascinating, I didn't know that data about antibiotic resistance was available like this, and definitely had no idea there was such huge variation between countries. Surely this should be considered a major public health emerge

Yeah, they'd have to decide which colour of lettering to use with every paint colour. I think you're right that it won't make it to production, at least in its current form.

This is a great point! Bits of fluff from car wash cloths would get caught under all those edges.

It's definitely alarming. These cases of selective enforcement seem to happen at random. I think you're right that it's mostly face saving. Recently they even turned on one of their own: https://www.theguardian.com

I was being somewhat tongue in cheek. I’m not actually saying that “expensive food” should be a goal. I was simply trying to point out that it’s ridiculous to complain about food waste without doing anything to change a system that incentiv

Food is cheaper than at any other time in history. Make food expensive again and watch the wastage plummet. How to make food expensive? - Stop subsidising farmers to over-produce - End intensive farming of animals - Ban imports from any cou

You might well be right. But a diagnosis of what? I’ve often wondered whether I have ADHD, but I don’t have the other symptoms of forgetfulness, disorganisation and hyperactivity. Procrastination is a huge problem for me and I’d love to ha

I sometimes feel like these articles are popular because procrastination is just a universal part of the human condition. I doubt anyone scrolls past these articles and thinks “that doesn’t affect me at all”. I procrastinate to the point wh

I retain a small amount of hope that this could lead to more sensible motorway speed limits. Virtually everyone drives over 70mph on motorways. If the law were strictly applied the cumulative offences would result in virtually all drivers o

Another reason why everyone wants a house is so that they can have a freehold. People are understandably frightened of situations like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/UKPersonalFinance/comments/eo9qim/l...

It's interesting that this person is basically an extreme version of something that happens all the time in this industry. I've seen so much premature optimisation / abstraction on virtually every project I've worked on.
