The confusion here is because you are mixing up "wage", "a living", and "lifestyle cost".

Wage is compensation for labor and follows all of the normal market rules of supply and demand.

A living relates to the amount of money needed to pay for them to live. Rent, food, etc.

"lifestyle cost" is the above plus non-necessities.

Wage has zero relation to a living, and lifestyle cost. Your wage doesn't go up just because you want to spend more money at brothels in nevada, and it doesn't go down just because you stopped needing to spend as much money on food because you got a costco membership.

Or to put it simply, the rate of your labor has zero relation to your wants and needs.

This means they're now making about 7,000 vehicles total per week (S+X+3), which means they'll make more vehicles in the next 12 months than they have made in the previous 10 years.

I'd say they're ramping pretty fast!

EDIT: 7,000 per week, not per month, thanks below.
Doesn't work that way, since jobs are independent of labor pool location.

A good example would be tourism, where companies draw people to places with no population.

Also, companies that decide to build a factory in the middle of nowhere to take advantage of something else, like cheaper land or electricity.

And suddenly you need to build a bridge in Ohio to get to that factory.

>There's a cultural vibe of individualism [where?] preventing overwatch of kids [whose kids?] by adults which has led, in part, to the prohibitive [prohibiting what?] autonomy that I had as a kid.

I don't quite understand what you're saying here, but I'm genuinely interested. Could you clarify?

Active listening: What I thought you said is that in, say, the Philippines, there is a culture of individualism that prevents adults from hovering over kids (not sure how that follows), which leads to the kids having significantly more autonomy than in the U.S. (and maybe you used the word "prohibitive" incorrectly?).

Why should we ruin universities just so businesses don't have to filter candidates, train recruits from a younger age, or have apprenticeships?

Seems better to use universities to expand human knowledge (individually and universally) than it does to use them as a hugely expensive way to do a first filter on company recruitment processes.

As someone who grew up with zero structure and seeing my wife who came from a very strict background I hope if we ever do have kids we'll land in the middle somewhere.
As someone who has spent a bit of time traveling in the Mayan parts of Guatemala and Mexico, it seems difficult to me to compare parenting styles without also considering the fact that quite a few of the Maya in general are living in abject poverty with very little social mobility and with often 3+ generations of family living in close proximity, and I suspect as their financial situation improves and they have better access to distractions like tv or internet, the differences will fade away. I’d be very surprised if it even survived one generation of living in Guatemala City, let alone after moving to the US.

It’s one thing to let your kids free roam in a village that has a single dirt road going through it and almost everyone around you is a cousin or has known your family for generations. It’s quite another in the suburbs where you have only had a 5 minute chat with one neighbor in 3 months.

I’m also sort of skeptical of applying a value judgement to one or the other — I’m not sure that it would be beneficial to raise your kids that way in the developed world, although it sounds nice in the abstract.

Real wage growth is stagnant because of shit like brexit and trump's trade wars. Companies can afford to provide real wage growth but are being conservative because idiots who don't understand simple macroeconomics keep shooting their economies in the foot.

Brexit particularly is a good example of keeping a monty python esque giant foot down on real wage growth.

This paradox generates so much banter, it's fun!

So now I'm thinking you're wrong because the logic that leads to excluding Tues-Fri can't also be used to exclude Mon. He can't expect execution on Monday and expect to be surprise executed on Monday.

When he inducts to Monday and then doesn't get executed Monday, he can't expect to use the same logic the induct Tuesday. Which means any day then becomes a surprise. He has a 1/3 chance (since we exlude Friday) of randomly choosing the right day, but no reason to not be surprised on any day except Friday.

First, large-scale manufacturing is a different thing from rocket engineering. It ceases to be about building something, and begins to be about understanding and managing people. That's what I challenge Musk is still learning, and far too slowly. He may never be able to learn at all—beliefs about people and management are far more hard-set than those about physics and engineering.

That said, I think he'll get it done, but it's still arrogant (and inefficient) to take all of the learnings of manufacturing and management of the past 30 years and try to "start fresh."

It's a waste. It's a waste of money, a waste of time, a waste of human capital and life and happiness. He's expending energy to learn things we've already learned.

That's the sad part. I'm sure he'll get it done, but at what cost? At what despair and unnecessary strife? And at what level of waste and inefficiency.

Sure, you'll say, necessity is the mother of invention, and new knowledge and innovation will come out of this struggle—but how can we know even more could not be done in a better process? We can't, and this naysaying will go by the wayside. As perhaps it should.

Unlike those sciences there's a lot of money in economics invested in certain conclusions, though.

There aren't equivalent controversies with money behind them like in other social sciences (and other social sciences don't get paid as much).

Trees are a step that can either lead to permanent sequestration, or can lead to open-cycle sequestration, both of which are better than nothing.

The carbon in a tree can get pulled out of the equation for decades while it grows, and partly slow-released as it rots on the forest floor, and partly adapted into the soil, some of which will eventually become a sequestered fossil fuel deposit.

Alternatively, part of the tree can become food, or lumber, or paper, and whatever those eventually decay into may be, at least in part, things other than methane and CO2, safe in the ground as permanent sequestration.

Trees aren't a panacea, but they're a tool we dare not discount out of hand.

Rape is a regular thing for ducks to the point where males and females have evolved weird reproductive organs in some sort of evolutionary arms race. Bed bugs practice what is known as 'traumatic insemination', where the male literally stabs a female with his penis, and sperm travels to the eggs through the blood of the female. Females can die of infection because of the open wound left after sex. Clearly rape isn't such a big evolutionary disadvantage that no species exist with this trait. Likewise, lions show us that killing or scaring away someones partner and killing their infant children can be perfectly 'evolutionary stable'. It seems to me that your reasoning starts with the conclusion, and then works backwards to some argument that sounds plausible. It's a strange world out there, and I would be very wary to base morality on evolution.

Not an expert so I might be totally off, but I think one of the risks is the existence of alternative markets.

Let's say you're only allowed to trade once a week, and I buy a bunch of Hooli stock at, say, $25 today. Then they launch Yet Another Hooli Chat tomorrow and everyone has decided that's going to make the price go up. You might want to buy some shares at $27 right now, because you think they'll be worth $30 next week. And maybe I want to see my profits right now for whatever reason (maybe I worry about them shutting down their new chat service by next week and I have a very low risk tolerance) and I'm happy to see some profit now instead of maybe more profit next week. Obviously I should sell to you. I can't do that via NASDAQ because we can't trade again until next week, but if you and I are in contact, we can just trade privately ("over the counter").

If lots of people start doing that, and we all join up, we essentially become another stock exchange. So it's not in NASDAQ's interest (or anyone's, really) for them to voluntarily stop doing things that will just cause another stock exchange to exist that does those same things. The options are either to convince market participants that the new rules are actually going to be better (more profitable) for them, or to lobby for regulation that makes the old rules impossible for someone else to implement.

As I understand it, this is basically the origin story of NASDAQ: the National Association of Securities Dealers believed (correctly) that they weren't getting good prices on existing stock exchanges, and computerizing a stock exchange had just become feasible, so they built an Automated Quotation system that initially just published prices to each other efficiently. Eventually it turned into an actual exchange.

We have done studies on psychedelics and mental health disorders, especially schizophrenia. Most of them say they don't cause mental illness but can allow the symptoms to express themselves, or atleast be noticeable, a bit earlier. Part of the problem is many mental illnesses don't show heavy symptoms until people's early 20s, the same time period when someone is likely to try a psychedelic drug for the first time. So someone is schizophrenic, doesn't know it, tries acid or shrooms in college which allows the symptoms to express themselves to noticeable levels for the first time, now they think acid caused their schizophrenia. But in reality they were likely only a year or a stressful event away from the same thing happening. And once you notice the symptoms for the first time, it becomes easier to identify those symptoms later even if in the past they would have been small enough to easily ignore.

How much suffering are we able to endure before giving up? I think a lot, because most of us have the desire to live. So I agree that people in power positions should realize that they should give real choices to powerless people on their own. They have to realize that they are self-delusional when they say "Just work hard and you can become one of us".

I think most of them truly don't realize how self-delusional this phrase really is because their own experiences confirm their beliefs (they were able to work hard and achieve something). So I don't think that most of them are purposely intellectually dishonest but just lack awareness.

> Without the capacity to make those decisions for ourselves, to be allowed to decide that truth is worth the loss of happiness, achievement, fulfillment, we are never ourselves truly human.

I like the small discussion about being human, although I can't agree with the position that we're "truly human" because of our ability to choose. This is a philosophical and subjective question, but basically I think that humans can have inherent value (based on ones belief system) even if we would find all the mechanisms in their decision making process and can predict what they do. I think that humans can be "truly human" even if we find out that free will is an illusion. I believe this, because "being human" is a definition made by humans and it wouldn't be very helpful to see ourselves as worthless just because we don't have real choices (using the assumption that free will is an illusion here - this doesn't mean that I necessarily think it is). It can be that people see humans as worthless, but they don't need the "ability to make choices" as an excuse for their misanthropy, beliefs or nihilism. There are many ways to achieve that.

Therefore it's likely that you'll change your definition of being human (and their inherent value) as soon as research shows us that free will and choices are mostly illusions because our thoughts are based on deterministic processes.
