Technical and legal norms are implementation of social norms. “obviously everybody knows that you are supposed to do it that way” doesnt hold up well at court, or during an argument about any decision that costs big bucks.

I think it will be downvoted for being unnecessarily inflamatory.

Replying to myself in case my point isnt clear - Im postulating that monogamy being some sort of “default” is inevitable, given enough time to evolve, regardless of how you setup the starting parameters.

All good points, but this doesnt really answer my question. If we imagine this hypothetical non-monogamous society, with no social constructs incentivizing monogamy, jealousy being in human nature would remain a driver towards monogamy. I i

These are good insights, but I meant how do you adress it within the concept of a non monogamous society.

How do you address jealousy? Im very much on board with the idea in general, and have given it quite a bit of thought, but I’ve never been fully sold on the idea that jealousy is fully based on social constructs

And that is where details matter. You can implement age verification in such a way that no data gets transmitted anywhere. Ofc I wouldn't expect Meta to not take a chance of collecting even more user data and blame a law for doing it,

All of the kids will get a fake account and a VPN? Putting barriers in place will likely have some effect in the intended direction. > This assumes that it will actually solve the problem anyway I wouldn't expect any policy to _solv

The problem isn't an individual kids phone. It's their peers devices, or other ways they can explore the internet that isn't under their guardians control. This is a systemic issue that requires systemic approach. I am not ma

I assumed 'this' refers to the title. That may have been incorrect.

I don't have the data but I don't think most people look past the title.

The idea is that each subagent is focused on a specific part of the problem and can use its entire context window for a more focused subtask than the overall one. So ideally the results arent conflicting, they are complimentary. And you jus

Yes, and? Without it, the total paid would be at least the same or more.

I was wondering if it's just me. I am using Brave on iOS with all the possible blockers enabled, so I'm not surprised when some website doesn't work well. Instagram literally freezes solid after 5-15s of being on the website,

I like that for this brief moment we actually have a competitive market working in favor of consumers. I ditched my Claude subscription in favor of Gemini just last week. It won't be great when we enter the cartel equilibrium.

I know these are scientists and a 'Human embryo model' is a perfectly valid name, because it's a model of a human embryo, but it's a disaster from a marketing perspective. People will see 'human embryo' and it

I don't know if I just became cynical and jaded, but is this really surprising to anyone in any way? Any time I give out my personal information to anyone for any reason, I basically treat it as 'any member of public can now acces

I was reseaching kirigami yesterday for a DYI project, and it was the first time I heard about kirigami, and of course I stumbled upon the parachute application. And now its on the front page of HN? To whoever is running the simulation: Thi

Yes, in some European countries Apple doesn't have physical stores and relies on official partners for retail for physical stores. In some of these countries, you can still shop online on the official Apple store for that country. Majo

Storytime: my partner used to be a long time Samsung fan. She had the phone, tablet, headphones and watch and probably more gear that I don't even know about. Then she moved to Canada with me. Because of how poor the QA in their ecosys

Not always of course, but I dont understand this reasoning. For every example you give, one can make up a different one where stopping would yield a better outcome. I do believe though that if we took literally all possible scenarios and we

The discussion isnt derailed, it branched off. The point is to bring up an adjacent point. And while the ideal scenario is of course that no problem arises, and second being that the problem is swiftly and efficiently resolved.. given those

I might be missing something, but here is my thinking... the radiation coming out of the sun would always be perpendicular to your direction of travel around the sun at any given moment, so it would only ever be able to add delta-V and incr
