Classic agent-based modelling fallacy: "I made an algorithm that replicates an observed distribution, so my description of the algorithm is a potential explanation for that distribution.". The fact that you could relabel the relevant variables any which way (the author does, by equivocating status and technology) and product the same outcome should illustrate what a weak form of "evidence" this is.

A better title would be "simple rules to generate asymmetric opportunities", but I guess phrasing this in a way that tells guys the world is unfairly stacked against them gets more internet points.
I feel that web users have made it very taboo to use auditory feedback.
"lean" is not limited to memory though - walking down the vdom reconciliation tree can incur get some pretty large overheads in terms of nested JS calls, just to decide that only a few buttons have to change. PureComponents and things like that are meant to help with this, but it still can take quite a bit of engineering effort to get this right.

Mind you, I don't actually know if Svelte avoids this problem, but a statement like "doesn't depend on virtual DOM reconciliation or anything like that" kind of implies that it defaults to less work.
My experience has mostly been people get paid what they can negotiate before they accept the job. I've seen people with the same job title have around 25%-50% difference in salary.

Does this mean that negotiations in salary will go away ? It's not just salary either, some people might negotiate more holiday days, sick days, flexi-time etc than others.

Why does Elon Musk need popular support? He's not a politician who relies on popular support for his very job. He's not an actor who relies on popular support to bring money to his films.

He's a CEO. All the support he needs is to deliver on his promises. From my exceptionally limited point of view, he's at about 35% there:

Space X: 100% (Reusable, self-landing rockets. Fuck yeah!)

Tesla: 40% (Prototype in decent shape, promised production capabilities of model 3 still seems a long ways off)

The Boring Company: 0%

Hyperloop: 0%

Yes but my personal choice is limited because the government refuses to step in. Right now I can choose between an Echo which tries to sell me and my kids Colgate toothpaste or not having an Echo at all. With government action I could choose between an Echo (without ads) or not having an Echo at all. In this way government has actually created better options for me to exercise my personal choice on.

Equal pay is an interesting topic, but it's a tough one. For example, in tennis, the prize money at grand slams is equal for both genders, yet the men play more tennis (and arguably at a higher level). The rationale often cited is that both genders are being pushed to their limit in their respective groups. By that logic, should anyone less naturally capable at a particular job (but giving it their all) be paid the same as someone more talented who is also giving it their all? It would be interesting to hear people's views on this!

Almost certainly purely cultural - look at the huge difference in reputations between how friendly places like Glasgow and Edinburgh are even though they are actually ~75km apart.
I am very skeptical when there is a claim of some "objective status [of a person]" (in this case in the model assumption "In the simulation, men make their mate selection decisions by minimizing over the age of their prospective partners, whereas women maximize over the status of the men in their accessible vicinity." - which requires that there is some "objective" status hierarchy of men).

My counterclaim is that there is no objective status, but each person (in this case men) has a different status in different "communities" (it is intended that I leave it rather open what "community" encompasses here).

To give examples:

While "under 'ordinary' people" it is a sign of low status not to have a mobile phone/Facebook account/..., this is a sign of very high status and commitment in privacy-conscious communities such as civil rights activists, hacker/cypherpunk communities, ...

Similarly not owning a car can (depending on the community) both be a sign of low status (cannot afford) and very high status (in environment-conscious communities and people who love to be associated with being environment-conscious it is a sign of strong commitment and thus status).

A third example: Before it was paid very well, being a "computer science proramming nerd" had a very low status in general society. On the other hand being a good programmer/hacker could mean high status among nerds/hackers (again some specific community)/

I hope this clearly outlines why one rather should consider "status in a respective community" instead of some fictional "objective status metric".
>Or could it be because the traits one needs to cultivate in order to achieve high status have an overlap with the traits that are desirable in romantic partners (e.g. empathy, integrity, being an active listener, knowing when and how to compromise)?

You do not need those traits to be high status.

The Linux vs macOS comparison is valid, provided you only need a workstation. In fact I dont see there is any real argument regarding this: Linux was and will always be a better Unix development platform than anything, period.

But let's ponder for a second: why did web developers world wide embrace OS X about a decade ago? Because it was a bona-fide developer platform and a state-of-the-art desktop, giving access to all the proprietary tools that are missing in Linux, for example the Adobe suite, MS Office, etc.

What I'm positing is that the real contender for macOS is not Linux, it's Windows, with the awesome Linux subsystem which, to the best of my knowledge, is as undistinguishable from the Linux environment as the Darwin/POSIX layer in macOS.

Even stranger to me: I'm French and we're world-class haters. Like, culturally conditioned to be dismissive of success, always seeing something negative when people achieve big things (they must have been crooked in some shape or form along the way, they exploited others, etc).

There used to be a time where American people were different in that regard. Celebrating success, entrepreneurs, daring mavericks, etc.

Now all I see is jealousy, smirk, poo-pooing. Have you guys turned French?
>> What's the Dutch perspective on American media?

My perspective on American media is that even though everyone has access to (mostly) unbiased, factual sources, quality investigative journalism, uncensored internet etc, for some reason a very large cross-section of the population willingly chooses to believe the partisan crap and plain and simple bullshit peddled by outlets like Fox News and (to a somewhat lesser degree) MSNBC. I regularly visit the US, and frankly I'm appalled by the downright evil crap that seems to be on 90% of the time on televisions everywhere in public. I would be thoroughly embarrassed if the situation at home would be even remotely comparable. And now you have a POTUS that actively promotes to make the situation even worse by labeling anything he dislikes as 'fake news', while at the same time spreading easily falsifiable information as truth.

I really have no idea how the US got to this place. The problem is not that the US does not have free press, but there seems to be a level of partisanship that feeds this vicious cycle of misinformation, always putting the blame at the other side, and a total disregard for simple facts that things could be so much better for everyone if the two sides would actually try to work together and find compromises for once.

The health care system is just an example of this. Even though there are countless examples of developed countries that have a much better system with significantly lower costs because of things like single-payer insurance, maximum tariffs, etc, somehow the american people don't want it 'because socialism' or whatever nonsensical argument based on the in-grained illusion of the 'American Dream' of a merit-based society where everyone decides their own fortune. Meanwhile social mobility in the US is among the lowest of all developed nations. The level of cognitive dissonance really is mind-blowing.
I bought a ton at 9 before the Ryzen announcement. The oscillation in the stock drove me up the wall, and I came to the conclusion that it’s just stupid to track single stocks, even when you know they have a great product, because the market is so irrational.
> The party making the claim is using anecdotal evidence.

No, the party making the fact claim made a fact claim limited to a particular program they had been in, and has, as yet, neither provided evidence (or even an operationalization) for that claim not been challenged to do so.

> They have no data.

That may or may not be the case; it's perfectly fine to dismiss the claim due to lack of data, better to challenge the claimant to provide support for the claim. Calling it racism is as unsupported as the claim itself.

> I do not think anecdotal evidence is good evidence for such a strong claim.

The fact claim made was particularly limited (about productivity in one Ph.D. program—from which no further generalization was claimed), it wasn't a particularly strong claim. That said, sure, anecdotal evidence is inadequate to support it, but then, not even anecdotal evidence was provided, only the bare claim.

> This makes the claim an opinion and not factual.

A claim on a matter of fact doesn't become anything other than a fact claim because it isn't offered with adequate support.

Bones not only have to be structurally sound, they also have to be decomposable. Otherwise skeletons would never go away, and it would be too difficult to reclaim the raw materials from them.

I also have the opinion that bones enable healthier predator/prey relationships because they're just weak enough to get pulverized by a larger physical force (i.e. from a predator). I realize teeth could be steel as well, but in that case muscle would no longer be enough to completely crush a skeleton.

Nature really seems to value materials that are just strong enough to get the job done, but just weak enough to get reclaimed easily.
If I were a teenager today, I don't know that I'd be going out to the gravel pits or up to camp and raging like we used to, and that was not so long ago. Social media is wildly more omnipresent than it was then; when we were sitting around bonfires and drinking bud lights, most people didn't even have cameras in their cell phones. When you've got that kind of evidence spread all over Instagram and SnapChat and Facebook, with little ability to control its privacy, it changes the amount of risk involved in those activities. Unless the po-pos actually paid a visit to the shindig, or you stumbled in home the next morning stove up and reeking of beer, it was pretty easy to get away with things back then.

Yes, I think you are right. There are a lot of factors involved. Hard to say that US success is due to specific things. California is a US state that has higher social support and higher taxes but does well economically. It is too simplistic to say the philosophy of the country is a certain way therefore success.

Supply. Demand.

Tuition costs skyrocketed because demand* skyrocketed. (Student debt)

Healthcare costs went haywire because demand* is insanely huge.

* - demand meaning the actual micro-economical concept, that is the curve/graph/function/relation describing the "preferences" of the customers. And since there is a lot of money in the system, the demand is big. A lot of people can and are willing (and of course forced) to spend a lot on health care. (And similarly on education. Since you want the a better future, at all costs, right? Right.)
Independent artists with whole or majority ownership exist and do well on Spotify.

For example, a signed artist would have to stream 1,117,021 songs to make $1,260 in a month (what the attached infographic says is minimum wage for a month). However, an independent artist who owns their work only needs to stream 180K to make the same amount [1]. This data is in 2015, but is the best data I've seen in quite a while. FWIW, they would have had to sell ~100 (~450 for signed artists) albums in a month to make this same money vs. streaming.

At this point, affiliating with a label is only worth it when you know you're going to break out.

Most musicians, even niche ones, have learned how to use the system their confined in, and do well off of a royalty-based model vs the traditional selling-CDs-at-a-show [2].

> there's a replicated consensus of all this attributions. Every single company agrees and has a shared database of the rights and the licensing.

Riiight. They can't agree on a standard describing their music and licensing now. But blockchain will magically create that shared database out of thin air.

BTW. Again. That same word, database. Nothing a relational database couldn't handle with much more ease and efficiency.

> there's not necessarily a need to have a middle man managing this informations and agreements

Riiight. Because every single company will provide an up-to-date complete information with no omission and mistakes. Magic of blockchain!

> you have this immutable record of when songs were released, who held their records, who and when licensed them, etc.

Riiight. Because there's not even a consensus on what to define as a song, it will somehow magically be solved by blockchain which will automagically identify and attribute eve ry song/track/music correctly, completely, and without omission.

Just some brain teasers for you:

- is a single in Europe the same song as the same single released in Japan?

- the single in Japan is 12 seconds longer, though.

- The authors and the singer are the same. The publishers are different.

- There's the same song, with the same people + a different drummer released two years later. Is it the same song?

- All three variations appear on fifteen different albums in 7 different countries, spanning 4 major and 5 regional publishers.

- Oh. I forgot to say, it's the same classical Tchaikovsky music which is in the public domain. Yet surprise! You still have to pay money (you may research why as a part of your answers to the brain teaser).

- Also, the global and regional distribution, performance, streaming, and radio rights may or may not be be different for each of those.

> ny interested party can join and get the information it wants without needing APIs

Because blockchain is a magical technology that transmits all this information directly into your brain without the need of APIs.

Also, the article you linked is a bunch of demagoguery with zero practical applications that for some reason equates blockchain with TCP/IP and not, let's say, Tamagotchi.
