Yes, politically, it turns out, that universities were chopped up into research institutions (or research institutions were spun off from universities) and diploma mills, because even that shit level 2-3 years that people take to earn a Bachelor's degree means a lot on the job market.
" A quick Google search before I made my comment seems to indicate that it is true, although the government claims that they stopped this practice on January 1, 2015 "

"I said nothing about god in my comment. I simply meant that I am grateful to live in a country where our biggest fears fall far short of worrying that we will be carved up for parts by our government."

I know, that was a bit hyperbolic. But I am quite sure also the common chinese person is not "worrying that he will be carved up for parts by his government", because the common chinese person is not Falung Gong.

And the common US-Person is not muslim. Because they do sweat from time to time I suppose, especially when visiting relatives in Pakistan.

I highly doubt that all employees are going to be paid that highly.

The majority of tech jobs in Berlin does not pay even close to €90k per year. That is the problem with averages. You have a few people earning loads and the rest on much lower income. It would be much better to look at the Median income in Berlin.
Just because scooters can go that fast, it does not mean that they should be allowed to do so. I think speed limits make sense in many situations.

If you ride your scooter capable for going 50km/hr that fast on a road in a 30km/hr zone, you are speeding. Perhaps the same should be true if you are riding your scooter too fast in a bike lane. It should definitely be true if you are riding your bike or scooter on a sidewalk too fast or recklessly.

How fast is too fast remains to be seen.
'We're doomed'

I kind of grew up with that phrase. It was all over in my childhood climate nature science books etc.
But the real world today looks far from it.
I mean we have many problems, sure. But doomed?

So maybe that's why I can't really take people serious who start with that phrase.

"He believes that accepting that our civilisation is doomed could make humanity rather like an individual who recognises he is terminally ill. Such people rarely go on a disastrous binge; instead, they do all they can to prolong their lives."

And I rather believe that really doomed people don't care anymore about long-term cancer risk when they allready are full of it. Optimistic people who want to live long and prosper care about that. I mean, we are all going to die anyway, yes. But usually our children live on.
But if I would believe the world is doomed, how can I possible raise children with good hearts? But if I and everyone else, stop raising children - then we are indeed doomed.

As in, it is exactly what it claimed to be all along? Maybe online courses are not for you if you need to be spoonfed?
I think you're talking cross-purposes. All else being equal, higher density has the edge in many aspects. But the smaller cities need to build themselves up, rather than (in the tech industry at least) everyone flocking to the one or two hotspots in any country. Why the industry isn't embracing remote work is a mystery to me. I'm fortunate enough to work for a distributed company and the single biggest perk to me is that I don't have to live in SF (or the USA, for that matter).
I'm not american either :) but there is clear precedence rules - the Supremacy Clause says federal law takes precedence. But that's only a problem is state law directly contradicted federal law, making it impossible to comply with both. Since the states merely give people the choice, people can still comply with federal law by not using marijuana.

Regarding the who decides, I agree that makes a difference inside the state itself. But what about its effects on the neighboring states, which had no say on the matter? To reuse my example in the other post, if a democratic country decides to dump pollutants on a river that goes to their neighboring country, is that action less wrong than if a company decided to do so?

And further, what if that company is a coop with a democratic decision model?
#deleteuber had pretty much gone away until Susan Fowler post pointed out real problems which led to all the changes at Uber.

From the article you pointed at:

I'm curious why you do it for you but not for your kids?
Most laws are actually against thing that can lead to bad situation.

Speeding is not dangerous in itself, until you actually hit somebody. By your logic there should be no speed limit anywhere but only charges when you hit somebody. The whole concept of regulation would also have to be scraped. Why would we have safety norms ? Not respecting them can lead to problems but well...

Maybe that is your view but I don't think it is widely shared.

> until the traffic reaches the same critical point again

Right, but commutable land grows exponentially as roads are improved further from the city center. So, depending on what you value, it's a net win when a twenty minute commute gets you ten miles away instead of five.
We may disagree on these things. Reasonable people disagree about things. But it seems we share a desire for substantive discussion.

Take a look at my original comment which says that it's time to start talking. Currently it's at -2.

Sound public policy-making is preconditioned on people of diverse opinions talking through issues. Nobody gets what they want, but everybody gets something. We reach some sort of local maxima.

If the mob rule that currently plagues the internet has their way, this is going to permanently disappear. That's fucked. I remain convinced that people of differing opinions can accomplish great things -- but not in an environment like this. Far too many people are eager to identify the good guys and bad guys (and reward and punish them appropriately) and far too few people are eager to actually listen to one another.
On auto safety, the perception is that safety improvements came late, and improved dramatically at some particular point in time, though that is variously given: 1950s and safety belts (as they were called), 1960s and crash tests, 1970s and speed laaws, 1980s and airbags / ABS, etc.

The truth is that on a miles-travelled basis, early gains were greatest, followed by a remarkably steady rate of halved risk roughly every 20 years, starting around 1925 and continuing to present.

The chart below begins in 1921. I recall one I'd found previously dating to ~1910 showing an even more pronounced early decline, halving in ten years, before the 20-year trend was established.

A lesson on seeveral grouds: perception/impressions vs. reality, the power of gradual improvement, diminishing returns, underappreciated early gains, and the power of standardisation, regulation, and liability.

Which may also relate to the scooter debate.

I agree; I'm cynical on about 99.99% of touted blockchain use cases.

However, for the 0.01% of use cases where you can't trust the government (money printing) or where the stakes are too high to rely on the security of a trusted 3rd party, blockchain is great.
That I can't say, possibly yes possibly no:

I read some of the other commenters who claimed that the tutorials were more like teaching how to use Microsoft tools.
At this point I started visualizing "tutorials" on how to open and close their application, describing the GUI layout, the workbenches, ... which is not hard for me to imagine about microsoft. I simply did not feel like checking for myself, since I would risk wasting my time. Time better spent reading actual articles...
I'm familiar with some of the research on government policy acceptance/salience viz-a-viz climate change and alternative energy (I have a PhD interview tomorrow on this very subject), and I agree with some of what you're saying. Western society is robust, and over a long time period many of the more dire impacts from rising temperatures will be mitigated in one way or another.

The issue is that, while climate change at UN COP21-23 estimates isn't necessarily an existential threat to Western society, it 1.) has exceptionally real effects on individuals who are affected (and those who are going to be affected in the near future) and 2.) requires an enormous amount of investment and development to manage the transition from a pre 2C rise to a post 2C rise.

When you're looking at having to protect at least 20K+ square km of land and ~150-200M people, some amount of directness is acceptable.
> White point adjustment doesn’t actually reduces the amount of blue light by that much

Questions.

After reading the comments I would like to ask about good evidence/the state of knowledge for screen workers

- What about the (energy rich) blue light from monitors? Is it dangerous for eyes, long term?

- If the white point adjustment does not do much, why bother with tools like f.lux at all?

As for myself, I've been using f.lux for years but even when I set it to a higher temperature because I'm watching a video I have no problems at all with sleep. I have not used an alarm clock to wake up in the morning in years. I do occasionally use one to take medicine - a chelator (DMSA) - every 4 hours during the night, but have no trouble getting back to sleep and wake up just as refreshed in the morning as if I had had uninterrupted sleep. The waking up, by the way, is all automatic, I don't need an alarm. My brain even considers whether I'm in a "chelator taking" period (1-2 weeks) or not, the day I start I also start waking up during sleep, to take the capsules, the day I stop I don't wake up any more. The brain is amazing and considers a lot of context, when you let it. Alarm-clock pressure to wake up in the morning IMO is a great obstacle to this self-regulation.

I'm still recovering from heavy metal poisoning (lab test verified), I had lots of nights during the main part of the recovery where I had to sleep in two parts, approximately 0-3 and 6-10. I have found that the first few hours are the worst, but the last 1-2 hours of (natural, not alarm-limited) sleep seem to be of even greater importance for overall sleep quality. There is a HUGE difference between getting those last hours (or this last hour) or not. While I may superficially feel more clear and awake when I don't get them there is a feeling underneath that isn't right.

I also have a late night espresso between 8 and 10 pm (of perfect Italian quality), no difference. And before anyone thinks "caffeine", I drink 3-5 (perfect) Italian style espressos per day. I cannot drink regular coffee or bad espresso. It isn't the caffeine, or my body would be satisfied with any coffee drink. I am not, when I can't get my "perfect espresso" I cannot replace it with "just coffee".

I agree with you up until you posit the Prius as a counter example. It caught my eye that you mention rear windows in particular - do you really think a Prius has good visibility behind? I test drove the new Honda Clarity and it similarly has questionable rear visibility because of the aerodynamic hatchback shape's rear windows.

One car that is commonly cited as an example of good visibility is a Subaru Forester, although I haven't driven one to see.

Something I noticed while driving a 30 year old car with spectacularly good visibility is that one factor is the skinny A and B-pillars compared to modern cars. I imagine that might be related to (lack of) rollover protection, not to mention airbags.

I think it would be very unreasonable if a player's "updated" JRE would refuse to run a non-updated application that perfectly worked the day before, on the simple basis of not the developer not paying Oracle.

Suddenly he can't run his Java application, because the FOSS developer does not pay Oracle, and the FOSS developer gets flooded with hate mail.

Why Is Spring More Popular Than Other Java Frameworks?
Horseshit. Given the exponential nature of technological progress I’m almost certain we will see a technological solution to global warming in my lifetime. Fusion powered carbon capture or reflective stuff in the upper atmosphere etc. Who knows what form it will take. But nobody will just sit idle and watch billions of people die. The major flaw of the current suggestions is that they either aren’t affordable, or lower the standard of living, or both. Outside the 1% bubble it’s been less than 100 years since people had a decent standard of living to begin with, so quite understandably they prefer to drive huge trucks, buy large houses, and fly to Hawaii every year. Shit if it’s ok for Al Gore and Leo DiCaprio to fly private to climate change summits, surely the hoi polloi can partake as well.

There are cogent arguments against congestion pricing: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2018/04/michael_munger_5.ht...

If I recall correctly, the main arguments is that it basically just turns into another tax and doesn't necessarily improve congestion. In theory, for congestion pricing to work, at least in the short run, you want people with flexible schedules or less "important" reasons to be on the road to reschedule or cancel their trips for everyone else. The problem is that the congestion taxes (so far) don't end up paying people for driving another time. And they don't necessarily pay for new and better infrastructure.

Adaptive AUTOSAR in a nutshell
In my younger years I worked as a prep cook at a couple fine dining restaurants in San Diego, and except for the executive chef I was the only other white guy there. We spoke Spanish in the kitchen and since I loved Mexican food and culture, I really tried to absorb as much as possible and learn recipes. As a prep cook, I would do the employee meals and the other cooks would loudly exclaim 'Tacitos de Tijuana' once I started getting it right, with perfectly made tacos just like you would find in northern Mexico. I was so proud.

But you know what they really loved? McDonald's kept running a promotion where you could get ten hamburgers or cheeseburgers for something like $2 or $5, and they would constantly make quick runs to the local drive-through at meal time, then burst in the kitchen entrance shouting and waving the McDonalds bag around. All work would stop and I would be called to bring my extra prep container of guacamole so a spoonful of that could be added to each burger and everyone would wolf them down. We're talking like ten Mexican dudes and myself, and 40-60 little hamburgers disappearing in a couple minutes. The executive chef was so disappointed and he'd just shake his head and go sit in his office.

I still prefer tacos to hamburgers though.

I'd like to see a way to make employers more responsible for commute times. The location and centralization of offices, after all, are decisions of the employer. Many (most?) employees would be more than happy to work and live in the same town instead of commute, but employers don't generally give that option.

A simple mechanism might be to start classifying commuting as a form of work for hire and require compensation (perhaps at half rate?) for the work.

Regarding safety: alcohol is perfectly legal and I'm sure we can all agree on that it is extremely (more so than other substances) detrimental to health and other members of the society. On the basis of banning things for safety, it should be banned. Fun fact: it isn't. Another fun fact: prohibition wouldn't work.

> Speeding is not dangerous in itself, until you actually hit somebody. By your logic there should be no speed limit anywhere but only charges when you hit somebody.

Elaborate on how speed limits work or how come they are effective, if they indeed are. Maybe we can work out something. :)

I would also like you to point out its relevance to the prohibition of loot crates for the "safety of our kids and vulnerable people".

Regarding speed limits, I recommend https://mises.org/library/privatization-roads-and-highways.

Additionally, I would rather you avoid the use of "by your logic" when in fact it does not conform to my "logic", it conforms to your perceived and false interpretation of what my logic might be, which you extended to an entirely different issue and imagine that it somehow undermines my argument. There is a difference between having speed limits enforced by X and assuming that the majority of people would respect it, and banning loot crates on the premise that it benefits the kids and vulnerable people while depriving "non-vulnerable" or "less vulnerable" adults completely on the same premise.
