I don't understand how he does it - just be good to people and they leave you alone? So all the other business owners who got mugged or even killed were bad to some people, and got what they deserved? The article doesn't really gi

It will solve itself, but billions of people might die as part of the solution. Mankind will survive, but for the individual some worrying might make sense.

There are also cultures that vanished after thousands of years, and crisises in which millions of people died. Human ingenuity and technological progress didn't solve every problem. We just forgot about the dead (classic survivor bias)

Not sure if a prostitute is typically somebody who wants to have sex with you. But in an extremely nitpicking way we could say you are right (for a definition of sex as "putting your penis into somebodies body orifice"). I don&#x2

But why do they need to analyze the victim's DNA - wouldn't they typically be looking for a match for the perpetrator of the crime?

I asked 23andMe if they could somehow anonymize my account and they didn't even seem to understand what I want. They said I could change my username but I wanted a more thorough anonymization. That was a while ago (years), maybe they&#

Doesn't it also curb your desire for sex?

I think it's fairly common to go two years without having sex. It's just the public hype that makes us think everybody else is having sex all the time.

It's a fine example for "yeah, but I REALLY don't want to live like that".

Maybe every module in a Monolith could also be considered a Microservice, with extremely fast networking and an extremely terse remote interface specification language.

The plastic surgery part certainly isn't true. The porn industry caters to all sorts of tastes, including imperfect bodies. A single visit to a popular porn site will demonstrate that. As for kissing - OK, so that is one understandable

The pope is bound to be a foremost expert on porn and sexual attraction.

Perhaps you can explain to me what "objectification of women" means? Does it mean being attracted to their bodies? So what would be an OK thing to be attracted to - their ability to recite the digits of PI perhaps? To me it seems

This looks great! I'll try this with my kids soon - I try to do at least one experiment every week...

Humbunds? (99% of these games are being acquired via HumbleBundle...).

Yes, my answer would have been "kindle", but iPad works as well.

Well, how are they doing?

Afaik you need it if you use Google Adwords. Not sure if Adwords could be changed in a compliant way. I recently started out to implement the cookie header on my site, and discovered things are rather unclear. For example, couldn't Goo

Well browsers could send an "allow cookies" header, like the "don't track" header?

Thank god, ehm, the lawyers: otherwise we would not just have annoying banners, every page would start with an blocking dialog. No thanks.

The entity that owes you the money could simply die. Not that catastrophic (for the entity, yes, but I mean no global catastrophe is necessary).

I've added a reply to my previous post yesterday, because HN wouldn't allow me to write more comments. I think all your data points actually support my thesis.

Don't people tend to marry later in the US, too? I'd expect most men to have already survived on their own for several years before landing in the haven of marriage. So most would have mastered the washing machine and at least the

Just procreating once or twice is enough to already cost you several years of your career. And as you say it's expensive - for two children, you can already get a house, a car, nice clothes and regular yoga sessions. Also yes you can b

Really? Numbers please. Btw I read an interesting thought on that from Nassim Taleb: that this was one of the greatest achievement of the church to give almost everybody access to a womb (by enforcing monogamy), thereby eliminating a lot of

I don't understand what you mean by "biologically inherent" - I never claimed that biology forces us to react in such and such a way to mothers. The only thing you need to assume to understand the modern situation of men vs w

Uh, men want to "put their dick in you" because they want children, even if they might not be aware of it - that's nature's trick. So maybe your vagina has bargaining power, but that's only because there is a womb b

by facepalm 11y ago
Bargaining power is obvious: unless women are being enslaved or raped (not the norm in the first world), they control who gets to procreate. Wombs are a limited resource, sperm is not. So that gives women bargaining power (limited resources

It's not a biological determination (as in biological determined desire), it is a biologically determined wider range of options. Women can bear children, men can't. This gives women the first choice to spend time with those child
