Toast_25··on Ask HN: Best companies to work for in Europe?
Holy shit, thank you <3
Toast_25··on Growing from 0 to 4M users on our fashion app with vertical machine learning
I'm assuming you're a woman, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but do you know if these apps work well for men's fasion? I think I have OK taste, but I'd like to get good.

I'm sad there's not a version of Chicisimo for guys :(
Toast_25··on Reddit bans 'deepfakes' AI porn communities
> What if someone combines it with some kind of "deep ageing", to create artificial child porn? Sexual representations of children, even if completely artificial and involving no victims, are illegal in many jurisdictions, but not all.

It's not even that complicated. Petite actress + childs face. I take solace in that from what I saw of the subreddit, it seems like it's quite difficult to create something decent easily.

Toast_25··on How to Work Out What to Charge Clients
Do you work in a niche? How do you get the word out that you're good/looking for work?

Do you promote yourself? How?
Toast_25··on Why American men are getting less marriageable
I think you're abstracting this a little too much. The sentence you constructed would be useful to describe this in general, but in this case PuffinBlue is talking about a specific case where this language isn't entirely useful.

I agree that that type of language should be used in general (and I make a concerted effort to use it, even in my native tongue where sex is strongly denoted), but IMHO it's useless when describing specific scenarios.

Toast_25··on Why American men are getting less marriageable
What would be a better way to express his point?

I see this brought up a lot, and I get it: we SHOULD be able to treat everybody equally regardless of the bits between their legs, but we haven't gotten there yet.

I think it's counterproductive to be pedantic about language when it's serving a purpose and not hurting anyone. If someone brings up a better way to express this type of thing, then I'll be in total agreement, but I haven't found a better way to do so using the english language.

Toast_25··on Why People Dislike Really Smart Leaders
It wasn't really an IQ test, it was the mensa "IQ test" where they tell you if you might be able to join mensa based on your results. Apparently it's within my possibilities. You can see it here:

Toast_25··on Reality has a surprising amount of detail (2017)
TLDR: The curse of knowledge.
Toast_25··on Why People Dislike Really Smart Leaders
Looked up an IQ test to see if I'm too smart or too stupid to communicate.

Apparently I'm too smart. Thankfully that can be fixed! Lead poisoning, here I come! I'll pick up my old weed habit just to be safe.

Toast_25··on Ask HN: What influenced your personal growth the most?
Sounds really cool! Thanks for explaining!
Toast_25··on Ask HN: What influenced your personal growth the most?
Thanks, this is really interesting to me.
Toast_25··on Ask HN: What influenced your personal growth the most?
Planks helped a lot with mine. Also, deadlifts, but I urge you to learn proper form.
Toast_25··on Mothers who regret having children are speaking out
TIL children might cause cancer.

What is being a freemason like?

How do you mitigate the effects of marijuana on REM? I (mostly) quit even light drinking because I need a good nights sleep to function.

I don't smoke much anymore, but more because I don't feel like I have a safe place to kick back and smoke than anything else. When I do smoke I feel tired the next day.

It's worth mentioning that if you have bipolar or schizophrenia do NOT trip. It will most likely trigger an episode.
Toast_25··on Going gray for smartphone addiction
TLDR: gray-scale reduces your phone usage, they're going to make an app for that, but they have instructions for doing it natively as well.
Toast_25··on Mothers who regret having children are speaking out
That's really terrible. I lost my mother to mental illness a little younger than that, she's still around but she's not my mom, she's terrifying. I'm honestly not sure which is worse.
Toast_25··on Mothers who regret having children are speaking out
That may be so, but is it possible that children are what cause it more likely that your customers use the services your job provides?
Toast_25··on Mothers who regret having children are speaking out
Of my two grandmothers, the one that died had the most children.
Toast_25··on Mothers who regret having children are speaking out
That medical school thing is an awesome response, if only I could use it on a doctor.

I guess I should go with "you should go to engineering school"

Toast_25··on Mothers who regret having children are speaking out
Occam's Razor -> simplest explanation is likely the right one.

You use big words and don't really say anything, therefore you're reeeeaaallllyyy smart.

TIL I'm the equivalent of a badly written "Hello world".
Toast_25··on Ibuprofen alters human testicular physiology
I think it depends on the person, a friend of mine would act out WWE type stunts: jumping on a trampoline full of tacks, getting hit with a chair in the head and bleeding all over... He says the pain tolerance has stayed with him through the years.

Not all bodybuilders juice, and even when they do, there's a wide variety of ways to increase your gains without straight up shooting testosterone.
Toast_25··on Losing Faith in the State, Some Mexican Towns Quietly Break Away
IME they've also been offering better quality, at least shell. Hopefully they'll also end the widespread practice of shorting customers.
Toast_25··on Ibuprofen alters human testicular physiology
Actually, you don't get REM when you smoke. That's why you don't dream and it's why it comes back full-swing when you stop. I occasionally smoke and drink (alcohol also disturbs REM quite a bit), but I try and do it early in the day so I can get quality sleep.
Toast_25··on Losing Faith in the State, Some Mexican Towns Quietly Break Away
It's recently been privatized.
