I think you're misunderstanding what he is saying. I believe he is saying other people have projected their hangups ("top down enforcement in new social norms") which has caused casual nudity cease to function.

And you're saying in Europe people haven't projected sexuality onto nudity, therefore it still works. So you guys are saying the same thing.


> As soon as there are homosexuals or people who want to be perceived as the opposite gender involved, the social contract which made casual nudity work ceased to function.

> I would not want to be nude in a changing room with homosexual men or women.

I don't think they are.


It’s funny: unless they very rarely go to a public changing room, they likely have disrobed in front of a non-straight person. Likely several times, and presumably without incident. The baseline prevalence of queerness in the world is simply not that low.


You're assumption worked for me... I've seen gaussian elimination before (but not the linear algebra) which gave me an idea of what we were doing.


I think it's pretty easy to argue it would have been overreach by a regulatory body to block the deal.

It's difficult to guess, with reasonable certainty, if the deal will kill all competition. Difficult given the competition that is out there on all fronts (Steam, Playstation, Nintendo, Epic).

So if it's not totally clear the deal is bad, it's overreach to block it. Layoffs and increased pricing isn't indicative of monopoly power. Lina's mandate wasn't to prevent layoffs, it's anti-trust. It's also too early to conclude anything from the deal that was closed so recently.


Even harder to understand that 1 part vinegar and 3 parts olive oil isn't 1/3 vinegar.


One cup vinegar and three cups olive oil will give you four cups salad dressing.


In addition to possibly being a scammer, some people found my resume to be less believable without a linkedin profile. One interviewer thought I was lying about my previous job title.


Why would it matter what your previous job title was? Why would I care if your previous job title was ‘Grand Vizier of Khyrgistan’? Can you do the job I want you to do now?


If your previous job title was "Doer of a Thing" then a prospective employer is more likely to consider you for a job doing the same (or similar) thing, as it shows you have prior experience doing a thing.


No, it shows that you previously had a job title that calls you a doer of things. I find that these don’t generally correlate with ability to actually do those things.


You hire a lot of programmers that have never held a programming position before?


It’s because LinkedIn creates a social cost for lying, and it also creates social proof because coworkers can agree that you worked there.

As opposed to claiming whatever the hell you want in resume.pdf.


What? I just put “computer programmer” for every position listed on LinkedIn - why would that be any more valid?


One place really didn't like that mine says "software engineer" instead of the proper string of letters. Makes me look incompetent apparently.

noobs on HN have been claiming this since the site was created. It's so tiresome that it's actually against site guidelines to make this kind of comment. If you want HN to be a nicer place than reddit, try to follow the guidelines.


BJJ fighters still think higher up is an advantage. Body weight to press down on opponent, greater freedom of movement.


There are a lot of people who prefer to fight from guard.


Thats the thing, just stand up... and you win the fight, they look stupid on the ground.


Yes, I did a horrible thing and made a joke.


Useful comment because I always assume these "Show HN" products are minimally viable... whereas, it's good to know it's been battle tested for at least 15 years.


I assume they must be new too. Nice to see a project that’s been around for a while get posted and reach number 1.


I live in a rural area. My old fashioned doctor said to test oxygen levels, all you need to do is pinch your index finger nail down until it goes white. Then when you let go, if it goes back to pink right away, you're good. If it takes more than a few seconds, you're not good.


That's the capillary refill test which tests circulation and perfusion. Doesn't really tell you anything about oxygen levels.


Of course. Billions of people have lived without this. You also don’t need a computer on your wrist.

But many people are willing to pay get more health information, especially wealthier demographics who have interest in health and appearances of health.


Just to clarify, you only run 1 mile per day? You're seeing fitness gains from 1 mile? I'm not judging, that's 1 mile more than I do now. I'm just wondering if that's a useful technique vs. running longer a few times a week. I'm guessing it useful to get you in the habit. Also, lower risk of injury. I guess i can just try it myself, it's only 1 mile.


I'm not a doctor or any kind of expert, but I think consistency is pretty much always the best. A lot of people get stuck in a weird mindset of "it's only a mile why bother" ... but even just going for a walk every day is infinitely better than doing nothing.

From my own experience, after 2020 threw me into a bit of a depression I gained a bunch of weight for the first time in my life. I decided I was going to "workout every day" but gave myself a ton of grace about what the definition of "workout" meant. If it was bed time and I hadn't done anything yet I'd just do a couple sets of pushups to "check the box" and go to sleep. I tried to do as much as I could every day, but still gave myself a pat on the back as long as I did ANYTHING that I could call a "workout" ... I lost the weight shockingly quickly and felt a lot better even though most days I was only working out for 10-20 minutes.


> I started running a mile five days a week, and have slowly moved up distance and pace

Presumably more than a mile a day now


It didn't make sense to me either. When normally I read "commiserate", I think someone is expressing empathy to someone else on their bad fortune. I assumed the employee was sorry something bad happened to their boss.

But I think you're right, he's saying employees are complaining and the boss is providing sympathy.


Yeah, I think it makes more sense when you consider that the former (boss complaining to direct) is something that should seem obviously bad to even non-managers, but handling the reverse situation correctly is also critical. It's confusing because the title is written as if I am the direct report, while the article is written as if I am the manager.
