I have beef with your statement, specifically emotional risks.
In today's world, from a male's perspective, too many women are self-entitled and biased (different skin color, race, height, whatever) when it comes to natural selection and the progression of blood line. I mean that's their every right to do so, but it often means that emotional risks are far greater for men that women wouldn't fancy for a date to begin with.
And lets about the return on putting in efforts. For a man that puts in effort (dress nice, be approachable, with smile and the whole nine yard), I can tell you that the return is often zero and nada. It would be insanity to keep trying and keep failing, especially when I keep lowering my standard into what I want from a relationship.
Now I am in my early 30, and I can tell you that this dating game isn't worth of my time and emotional effort. I am much happier be left alone than chasing after women in general.
The article suggests that women in their 30s are getting more anxious to settle down, but lets not forget that their entitlement remains quite intact actually. Even if they settle down with a beta, in their mind, there is no equality. They still look down at the beta like I am above you (and that translates into seeking thrill and cheating if an "alpha" opportunity pops in). So fuck that. They can dry up their eggs for all I care.
Lastly, lets be honest about "alpha males" The article fails to mention that a lot of these women are in market for "white alpha males" I can't remember how many times women slip out shit like the following during a date "oh I find white guys very attractive...I love talking to white guys." Again, I am telling it as is. The world isn't about fairness. If you picky, that's not my problem when you are antsy about your offsprings.
The documentation doesn't say this, but apparently, after you start mosh-server, it dies if there is no incoming request within 60 seconds. What is the point of the server if it is just going to quit after 60 seconds?
For someone coming from other language background, including C#, JavaScript, Ruby, I find PHP absolutely unconventional, odd, unexpected, and inconsistent.
This is not a language, where you expect intuitively on what method to call unless you do a StackOverFlow search on existing problems, raised by others like me.
Yet, I currently develop a web app on PHP. Certainly, I can't wait to move over to Ruby or other languages in my next project.
The author is stating the obvious. But he/she has every right to do so, because PHP is simply not user friendly enough to programmer. If PHP truly targets non-programmer, they totally succeed in their goal.
That does not work. It seems to me that you need to install mosh server, which doesn't have much documentation at this moment.
I just installed the mosh client, and replacing ssh with mosh command alone doesn't work. By not working, I meant the error message is "/opt/local/bin/mosh: Did not find mosh server startup message."
Octave is pretty awesome. There is also R. Personally, I also do a lot of computing within interactive programming console (like irb, php -a, node). However, if you are doing symbolic expression, you can't go wrong with Octave
Maybe in Asia, this "taking care of elderly" mentality is strong. Here in States, I actually think that you are on your own is more true. You can't depend on your kids to take care of you. If you do, you can still end up being on the street.
In my view, kids are not investment. They take out much resources from you, and you do so willingly because you love them. As they get older, they may or may not show appreciation, depends on your relationship with them.
Kids are cool to have? Nah, I have too much emotional burden to even become a father figure. It is a lot of responsibility, and I bet the joy of having kids is priceless. Cool? not so much.
The experience of iOS 5 on iPhone 4 is pretty shitty so say the least until I figured out the culprit is iCloud. Some symptoms with iCloud enabled, include but not limited to, random screen freezes, random login freezes, and application switching freezes. Just lots of freezes thanks to iCloud
I wanted to make a purchase, but your web site is turning into a perfect infinite loop to PayPal. It just keeps trying to forward me to PayPal, abort, retry..abort..retry
One little thing I should point out about the UI design is that there is a fine balance & trade off between visual effects and performance. Often times, it is also quite subjective.
Take Vista and Windows 7 for example, you see the aero Window edge is roundish (especially top two corners). Now take look at Windows 8, as it is pretty edge, not round at all. Do you know why? It is really because Windows team used at least 5 rectangles, all stacked together to form that roundness for Vista & 7. That means it is more GPU cycle time to draw these duplicated rectangles to give such pretty illusion. With Windows 8, I do welcome the edge/sharp corners, feel more clean and snappy.
Vapid or not, everyone is entitled to their opinions. If you can't accept that, you are not welcome on HN discussion either. End of story.
Simply stated, if HN is heading towards Reddit-like behavior where comments must gear towards "singular" minded thinking, that's the also the day I stop visiting this site.
Well, you can pretty much imagine how it went down. FBI caught up to him with threats like "eh..you are unemployed, and you still have two kids. You want to see them in foster care system?" ... well, no surprise there. too many buttons that FBI can push on this guy
No, if you pay good money for something, you expect the product has good feature to pamper its user. It is more true with a car where if you pay good money for a car, the car should take care of you more than the other way around. If not, it is not worth the money to buy in the first place.
Your way of reasoning is pretty much the same as when iPhone 4 first came out. You pay good money for something that shatters easily. At least, in iPhone case, Apple came out, admitted faults and tried to make its user happy.
