qikInNdOutReply 3 hours ago | root | parent | next [] He who tries to change the world, from a position in power, will always have the barking of the underdogs. Its easy beeing a underdog, you dont have to provide analysis or better solutions, you dont have to proof that you are not delusional, that those you represent are good (lots of evil ex-empires among todays underdogs), all you have to do is bark and bite. Even if you have a "desert-mumified" culture like in the middle east, that has adapted to survival in a manmade dessert, without risky progress. Even landing a western spaceship, proofing things can thrive in the dessert, will not change what people have internalized over the centuries. Rather the local culture rubs off on the spaceship and it begins to rust into the same empire scrap yard. Things proofen not to work: * military interventions * secret service interventions * cultural nudging (soft power) * brute force take-overs (colonialism) Ironically, if humanity goes into desert mode, it brings the desert with it. You produce lots of offspring for the inevitable war, when crashing into the resource ceiling. You shun risky capitalist endavours. You vote for one strong man and against diversity of opinion and culture. (prevents civil war, which is always worser then external warfare). And we had that in medieval europe too, just listen to a catholic preacher and you can hear the bad times ruleset singing itself praises, less your lineage withers. A maxed out environment is a trap, preventing complex structures and escape attempts. @qpqpdbdbqpqp I honestly do not see were my viewpoint is racist. I argue that all of humanity, when run into a ressource spares environment, is behaviour optimized towards this loop. The "western spaceships" aka iraq and afghanistan were doomed to fail, as all the outside surplus is converted into "catastrophe" preparations or escape plans. Would have done the same in the situation. Israel might be a exemption for now, but even there the orthodox "survial-mode" culture is taking over the enlightment project form within. And its universal. As soon as things run out, conservative mindsets take over and all ventures and endavours come to a screeching halt. Sorry, if the physical limitations and the negative impression it made on humanity, scare you and your idealized view of the world. reply

chrisdbanks 7 minutes ago | prev | next [] As an employer, I am reticent to name a salary range because the fact is that the return on investment of employees is not normally distributed; it follows a power law where the top people return many times the amount of an average person. This may be because of connections, experience, intelligence, or a mixture. When I recruit I always want to hire a top person for whom I'm happy to pay 50% more than an average person, but realistically that's not always possible for me. If I state a salary range then I have to extend it to the amount I'd be willing to play for a top person which would mean if I'd have to settle for an average person then I'd probably set their expectations too high.

dane-pgp 51 minutes ago | root | parent | prev | next [] > A federated, open online dating protocol A natural way to implement this would be to extend ActivityPub and build modules for Fediverse sites like Mastodon that add dating site features. (In fact, ActivityStreams already has support[0] for defining relationships between people, with "Would Like To Know" being a standardised value[1]). The searching/matching functionality would probably have to be done at the level of an aggregator, like "Social Search"[2], but what's really needed is a privacy-preserving way of only revealing your contact information to someone who matches with you. That's sort of equivalent to the "socialist millionaire problem"[3], so there could be a nice zero-knowledge protocol for implementing this. You might need to couple it with some form of proof-of-personhood / Sybil-resistance, though, to stop someone just generating every possible profile and matching with everyone else.

interesting, they believe that implementing a bespoke federated privacy-preserving dating protocol would make getting a date easier and yet it is that belief and others like it which are the sole reasons preventing them from getting a date

probably_wrong 3 hours ago | root | parent | next [] Regarding your "niche", I have noticed that dating apps will not let you say that you are a programmer. I have scrolled through the "my interests" list of Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid, and the only one that more or less fits is "startups", but that's it. I honestly feel midly offended. Do you want to say that your interests are reading, traveling, living and laughing? Sure, go ahead. Do you want to write "tech"? Sorry, this app is for cool kids only. reply

fritz posted:probably_wrong 3 hours ago | root | parent | next [] That's because they won't allow you to add something as vague as "programming" they only allow you to tag specific languages and technologies. "x64 assembly" or "COBOL" or such. It makes a big difference so you don't accidentally go on a date with a Javascript dev.

No, these are your assumptions made through fearmongering and looking away from what is actually happening. Women are not fragile flowers being super selective with strangers out of security. They are increasingly hooking up with strangers compared to before, and they specifically select men in populations which are more likely to have psychopaths or men with dark intentions. Your average woman has plenty of suitors and friends able to set her up with dates, and she chooses not to. The entire notion falls flat the moment you look at the actions of women and men as a whole, and take a moment to remember what ideals 80s and 90s coming-of-age movies showed.

I think the answers to those questions are quite similar, in which case hearing the statement doesn't actually tell us much. reply
