There is a pretty good book that addresses some of the business aspects of this... "Competing Against Luck" by David Duncan and Clayton Christiansen (the same guy who wrote "The Innovator's Dilemma"). I'm not done with it yet but so far it goes into some interesting detail about how to reframe everything people pay for as jobs... and that building a successful business is about understanding the job to be done and mastering it.
I really don't see how this is a "serious problem".

The only thing unencrypted is the site's domain name. Who cares? Site domains are public anyways.

Definitely two opinions on this matter, I suppose. But for me, I really don't care that they don't encrypt the domain names for the sites.

Are you kidding? That's the best part about it! Don't complain about this, embrace it! License to use unlikely pronouns in all situations is an opportunity for all your reading and writing to be slightly funnier, no matter how serious the topic.

When you say "determinist" do you mean in the physical sense or some abstract social sense? Because if you mean in the physical sense, that has no bearing whatsoever on the role of hard work.

> On a different note I never bought he wants to be a woman just a PR thing to keep his name, plight and fight in the public eye.

Once again, the information that became public from the military through the trial was that Manning met with a gender counselor about gender dysphoria before collecting and leaking information, much less being in the public eye. This is a fact that is not in dispute.

> This is getting downvoted?

Yes, when you try to spin a completely unsupported fantasy that is inconsistent with the well-documented historical sequence of events to justify misgendering someone, that's not really a valuable contribution to the discussion.
I am anti-determinist and Soren Kierkegaard (founder of existentialist thought) so inspired me that I named my son Soren. The fight between the two parties of thought is huge and bigger then Windows vs OS X.

> Jean-Paul Sartre:

"What is meant here by saying that existence precedes essence? It means that, first of all, man turns up, appears on the scene, and, only afterwards, defines himself. If man, as the existentialist conceives him, is indefinable, it is because at first he is nothing. Only afterward will he be something, and he himself will have made what he will be."

Society sees luck in terms of fairness. This article used the word fair or fairness zero times. Fairness is a HUGE issue in deterministic thought especially dealing with how we perceive others around us.

You're best option is finding remote jobs on your own. Recruiters work for employers--not prospective employees. You're the product in their business model, and they likely don't understand your value as well as an employer can.

A lot of remote companies are early or mid-stage, and they list directly on StackOverflow. I aggregate those in an easy-to-use format on my site here:

https://oldgeekjobs.com/jobs/Remote

Another fantastic site is https://weworkremotely.com

Since you can reach out to the companies this way directly, you have an advantage in that you can craft a cover letter and communicate directly with a person of influence.

I got a license for 1Password Families in a Humble Bundle recently and have been seriously considering making the switch from LastPass. The LastPass Chrome extension gets disabled on me once or twice a week and has become a real annoyance. The only thing holding me back is the ongoing pricing for 1Password is 5x more than LastPass.
That's a real unfortunate analogy you have chosen there :)

The client still needs to fetch the logos from somewhere so it has to upload a list of URLs to get the logos for. They've just opted to do it when saving a password entry.
I'm wary of the methodology here. If a reporter typically on the google beat is doing searches from their account on "phones" after using the same device or account as the one they used to research for their last article on the pixel, it stands to reason google might put a pixel ad in there. I really do feel like this is being overstated; for example, I searched "watch" and received no ads for android wear at all, (mostly watches for women actually, which I recently bought as a gift).

That being said, the fact that this can happen at all is worth talking about. The magazine and newspaper companies didn't run hardware buisinesses on the side like this.

Edit: It seems like the third party SEMrush was used for the analytics, so that's certainly better than just typing it into google a bunch of times. I was being unfair to the WSJ. However I still can't reproduce the watch findings on their site https://www.semrush.com/info/Watch

Debating the actual importance of luck seems a lot less important than developing the proper attitude towards luck.

Pretending luck doesn't exist can lead to arrogance and a lack of empty for people who haven't succeeded. On the other hand, believing that luck controls everything can lead to fatalism.

It might seem best to find a happy medium, but being wishy washy about this whole thing just gives you opportunities to blame your own failure on circumstances outside your control, while continuing to take credit for success. In the general case, looking for balance between opposing ideologies makes no guarantee that you'll walk away with the best parts of both instead of the worst.

In practice, it's probably best to drop the determinism/indeterminism dichotomy completely and just focus directly on the desired end attitudes.

On a side note, the reason American society is obsessed with meritocracy has nothing to do with a belief about the nature of luck. Denying luck as the path to success is just a way to make people work harder.

There are other approaches though – you could charge a sales tax for all purchases and institute a universal rebate, which would have the same effect with the addition that people underneath the spending threshold would have an effective negative sales tax rate.
It probably wouldn't be infeasible to send the client all the logos they have. The client could then pick them out with no server interaction. There's only going to be thousands of them, tops, and probably only hundreds. Hooray powerlaw.

Don't most cities contribute a proportion of a school district's property taxes to that district's school(s)? So districts with expensive housing receive more funding than those with cheaper housing.

I agree that home life influences schooling outcomes as well. Families with higher incomes can afford for one parent to stay home or to pay for a nanny or whatever. But in addition, many schools are funded disproportionately, where the schools with the most need receive the least funding.
Metadata matters. The NSA revelations have shown this.

Just like when people are trying to sell you something, they call it an "investment"; people trying to implement government spending programs call it "spreading opportunity".

Some government programs really do spread opportunity, but that requires close examination and criticism; I don't just buy into it because a politician calls it opportunity. Is college an opportunity? It can be a huge opportunity to get ahead in life; but it can also just subsidize a partying lifestyle and a phony major for four years. It depends on the college, the student, and the structure of the opportunity.

It's hard to tell the difference between spreading opportunity and spreading results. It often requires looking at the details, measuring along the way, and it is often different for different people.

There's a startup, dotblu I believe, that allowed you to bet on anything. It was with fake blupoints, but I think their plan was to then transform the site into a general purpose betting platform where folks like you would shell out real money on a well defined bet.

In the past when I've traveling, didn't have access to any equipment or didn't feel like running I've used the Sworkit app. It's free and allows you to pick time, type of workout etc. I've found it's better (at least for me) than trying to come up with an on-the-fly workout of my own.

Just to clarify: You're talking about Lastpass here? For myself, Lastpass has just been an absolutely terrible user experience, with many of the issues you're talking about. I have this obscure ritual I have to go through when generating new site passwords -- like generate one in a new tab, then go manually "add site" and input the information -- because Lastpass can't get it together.
> But really, since I'm using the words for their correct English meanings, I don't see why I have to justify my use at all. I'm not fighting to justify something incorrect;

Ehh, somewhat. Why did you pick beg instead of some other similar word? Probably because you heard the original expression and decided to borrow it. It's unlikely you were just thinking one day of how to describe this thing where an answer really raises more questions and said, "Hey I know, I'll call it begging the question!"

> I have no problem standing my ground on "begs the question" because I refuse to be limited by other people's inability to crack open a dictionary.

Which if they opened, would show them a contradictory meaning. But not drastically contradictory where it'd be obvious - just subtly not what you meant.

> For example, some people have made it their personal crusade to claim that backers on Kickstarter are not investing anything because they don't receive any ownership in return for their money. These people are wrong. It's true that by the word's finance definition no investment is taking place, but by the word's English definition they are absolutely correct to say it is an investment (just like one might invest in their college education).

It's more that they don't receive anything back, except maybe a product, which we call "buying". If you personally said to me - I'm investing in VR for the future by buying an Occulus I wouldn't blink, but when a company does it, it does suggest that they're trying to blur the line. Especially given how many people seem to misunderstand the deal... I'd call shenanigans on Kickstarter's usage, but not yours.

> Because the word "begs" is easier to say than the word "suggests," partly because it's one syllable instead of three. It's easier, it's better, and it's the phrase I want to use. (It's also more correct than suggests for what I'm trying to say.)

Yeah, for me it's exactly not right. Begging is something weak things do to get something. It brings to mind prisoners and cute puppies. It suggests many things that I don't mean and doesn't get at what I'd be trying to say. Maybe it just happens to fit 100% to what you want, but in almost every case I've seen of someone borrowing a term for something else, it's more that people just don't understand the subtleties (or they don't apply in their domain) of the phrases.

And frankly, you seem like you've got an "I can do what I want" chip on your shoulder which may explain your choice more than strict understandability criteria.
I think this touches upon one of the biggest weaknesses of the current economic system. We systematically waste the human capability of millions of people because the system essentially randomly gives much better opportunity to some over others. Meritocracy somewhat exists but mostly to the extent that people can maximize the opportunity they've drawn as their lot in life.

I like the idea of Basic Income, but it's a somewhat limited solution to capping how far down someone can fall in society - what would really supercharge a future economy is opening up avenues to truly distributing equal opportunity. Wealth inequality suppresses this strongly, when people receive better margin of income over the absolute minimum economic allocation of their wages, they can then allocate their own wealth from their personal outlook in multiple ways - including starting businesses which may change the world.

Uber will be successful, but the problem is right now there is no barrier to entry in the market. They're pushing Lyft to spend more on marketing in order to get shares.

Uber has a huge chance of taking over public transportation and making it more effective. That's what I think they're gunning for...to privatize public transportation. How else will you get around town?

True, Overwatch is amazing, as is Blizzard. However, I caution against using subreddits as a general sense of popularity. Subreddits are a fraction of a fraction of these games playerbase (LoL and Overwatch included) and tend to largely be North American English speakers. In the case of LoL, there is a huge Chinese and Korean playerbase that is simply absent from that forum.

It matters a little bit since, if the thing does happen to be written by someone affiliated with Bitwarden, you have a good reason to avoid both LastPass and Bitwarden.
two thoughts

1. I think its interesting/notable that the colleges that are most successful at helping poorer kids, are not elite schools, but rather are training people for well paying "middle class" jobs like teaching them how to be an air traffic controller

2. nowhere does it talk about the cost of providing an education...if it costs College X $75,000/year/student and College Y costs $15,000/year/student then making Y "affordable" is eminently easier than X...the point being some schools may want to have a more economically diverse student body, but in order to achieve that end, they would need to either spend less on education (and consequently become less prestigious), raise more money/get more grants, or charge the students that are already paying full tuition even more...none of which appealing/easy...
> Uber’s growth is fueled by subsidies

A lot of people think if their Uber/Lyft ride is cheaper than their traditional taxi because it's subsidized. The lower fare for the most part is due to extreme efficiency difference between a taxi company and Uber/Lyft.

1. Uber/Lyft don't own the cars. They are leveraging car owners capital

2. Uber/Lyft drivers are more efficient because they don't have to roam around the city to find a passenger and they get notifications for when to work. The system scales up and down on demand. No taxi company that owns cars can do this.

3. Uber and Lyft are more convenient for the passenger and it makes people to use them more. I can definitely see myself and people around me to use Uber/Lyft way more than taxi since they came along.

Uber and similar companies are purring cash into this growth because at the end of the day they can make a profit because they are more efficient. And no, it's not easy to make a clone. The network effect is huge!
Yeah, that's probably part of it, but remember also that the people controlling narratives are by definition in power, and that people in power have strong incentives to justify their position.
