There is not, to my knowledge, a really commonly-used workflow that starts at Word and ends at typesetting. This is something Pandoc purports to do, but I would expect to lose most of your manual formatting tweaks from Word in the process.

Pandoc is a good tool for automating workflows that start with some other format and end with LaTeX.

Another good option if you like Emacs is org-mode, which has a LaTeX export, among other things.

My experience with the Word equation editor is that it causes the entire program to stutter, hang, and lag horribly if you have non-trivial equations. No idea why.

On the flip side, LaTeX definitely takes longer to write, but it's less frustrating than having to deal with Word's (well intentioned) autoformatting.

Had a small CV in latex.

It sucked.

Took too much effort to install it on window.
Didn't touch it for a year and it stopped working on a newer Ubuntu version which I had to fix.

I rewrote it in HTML and css.

Anyway one thing which just sucks: research papers in latex look all the same and are equally bad to read. Not unbearable bad but nothing for the eyes.

Someone just should write a research PDF paper viewer :-(

You appear to be pretty attached to the idea that IRS liabilities are worse somehow than student loan liabilities. Other people seem to be trying in good faith to understand why you think this.

IRS liabilities can easily be repaid over long time scales, usually at much lower interest rates than you can get on unsecured loans such as a student loan.

A $50k non-dischargeable loan, at a relatively high interest rate, with a flexible repayment timeline does not appear, to me, to compare favorably with a $15k IRS liability, dischargeable in bankruptcy, at relatively low interest rates with a similarly flexible repayment timeline.

I’d say the power modern day media manipulation is at a point that is indescernable to a good chunk of our people. People aren’t capable of identifying the mistruths, it seems.

I often have friends try to convince me of something they read. After examining the article the source, I demonstrate how the words in the article don’t actually support the headline. It’s not that they didn’t read past the headline - it’s that the article is set up in a way that makes you think it’s convinced you, even tho it fails to do that. There’s somewhat of a pattern, like: claim, talking around the claim, declaring that the claim was proven. I’m not sure what it is exactly, but I’ve had doctors and researchers fail to pick up on this.

I'm of the class of 2009, graduating at a time when even entry-level office jobs seemed out of reach. I was an Econ major at a top US liberal arts school, with two summer analyst (finance) positions under my belt. But even with all that, the only full time job I was able to get was a book-keeping position that paid $12.50/hr.

If you don't have job-ready skills (e.g., Quickbooks expertise at a small business), your prospects are limited to big corporations that hire on the basis of a regular recruiting schedule, provide training, onboarding etc. And those firms ghosted completely that year.

I'm not from a rich family, so I would have much preferred to have done school in a short-term program like this that was incentivized to help me hit the ground running when it came to job-ready skills.

That said, what is to stop Lambda-like firms to crop up everywhere, like bootcamps did, and promise 6-figure salaries that will never materialize? The VC money required to finance such schools is certainly out there, but are the jobs?
There is a book called "Work Clean: The life-changing power of mise-en-place to organize your life, work, and mind" that discusses this philosophy further and how someone can integrate these principles into their work life. It was a pretty interesting read.

> Fair point, but where are you getting your statement "For the time being a couple percent of the electorate selects your house member"? As far as I know, voter turnout is at least a magnitude higher.

I'm talking about some uncompetitive districts where only one party is ever considered in the general, and only a teeny tiny fraction of the electorate bother with the primary.

Added: For example, in New York's 14th congressional district, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won in the general election because, barring a monumental scandal, the democrat will inevitably win there; and in the primary, she won by an okay margin, but her total number of votes in the primary was just ~17k. As far as I can tell, this means that about 17k people selected the house member for that district of ~690k people (of which 141k voted in the general election).

I think I was being imprecise when I said "a couple percent of the electorate", it's really a couple percent of the overall population in this case, but the point largely stands.

Her second book [1] covers this, with a few amusing anecdotes:

Take, for example, my vacuum cleaner. I got rid of it because it was an outdated model, and instead diligently wiped the floor with paper towels and rags. But in the end it simply took too much time, and I had to buy a new vacuum.

And then there was my screwdriver. After throwing it away, I tried using a ruler to tighten a loose screw, but it snapped down the middle. This almost reduced me to tears as it was one I really liked.

All these incidents stemmed from youthful inexperience and thoughtlessness. They demonstrated that I had not yet honed my ability to discern what brings me joy. Deceived by their plainness, I failed to realize that I actually liked them. I had assumed that if something brought me joy, I would feel a thrill of excitement that made my heart beat faster. Now I see things differently.

Feelings of fascination, excitement, or attraction are not the only indications of joy. A simple design that puts you at ease, a high degree of functionality that makes life simpler, a sense of rightness, or the recognition that a possession is useful in our daily lives—these, too, indicate joy.

His economic arguments are only good to the extent that you agree with the economic goals which any economic policy is trying to achieve. For example the Diamond Saez paper he references is optimizing for "Social Welfare" which is in turn defined as more equal distribution of resources. So yes if your goal is redistribution of wealth perhaps the 73% number is the right number. What that does not mean is that 73% marginal tax rate is the objectively optimal tax rate under all scenarios or policy objectives!

>is unlikely to happen due to political pressures from the elites, whose family's positions are secured by the higher barrier to entry to becoming an intellectual.

I'm sorry but this is veering into the realm of conspiracy. If you actually talk to any Chinese people you'll realize that most are very opposed to the Latinization of the writing system. In fact the "elites" you speak of were themselves the ones most interested in simplifying the writing system and possibly adopting the Latin alphabet. Their former attempt, simplified Chinese, is often met with rancor in modern day Taiwan and Hongkong, whereas the latter attempt is often tauted in China as an example of CCP backed globalization gone too far.
Option #1: low-paid job. Probably routine job where you're not expected (or allowed!) to contribute anything that the last person who had the job could do. Live with roommates, rent your whole life, insecurity due to lack of savings, poor (if any) health insurance (US applicable).

Option #2: higher-paid job. Have to pay back loan, which might be a problem if you're just at the bottom of the "you have to pay it back" scale. May have your own apartment or possibly a house, savings, hopefully good health insurance, etc.

I've worked with people who would choose option #1 permanently. Their life was outside their work. They started thinking about the job when they clocked in and stopped when they clocked out. Most of them didn't go to college.

Others did go to college and graduated but didn't know what they wanted to do with their lives. Having the equivalent of a gap year or two (or ten!) after college without worrying about loan payments doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world.

His data is mostly what you mentioned for the last few time intervals on his graphs, plus highlighting things in red when "underlying dynamics" change (conveniently exactly where he wants to make his point).

Let me rephrase because I kinda made it sound like I'm a cable hoarder (I'm not.... I swear!! I'm just a cable connoisseur, thats all! hah!)

I need a DVI cable because I have a headless DVR computer that once every blue moon needs a head. I've tossed that DVI cable once before because it didn't spark joy (none of my cables do) and lo and behold I needed to give my headless box a head or my wife won't be able to watch her shows.

I had to run way out of my way to purchase a new one. It pissed me off and from then on, the new replacement sparks joy because I know there will come a time where I need it again and having on hand makes me happy.

That those RCA to headphones jacks I don't use? Toss 'em. The 10 different power cords and three dozen HDMI cables of varying length? Toss them on the curb! But that DVI cable? I need that, damn it! I learned that that one DVI cable does spark joy because it is right there waiting for that one day when I actually need to head-ify my headless box.

My current big problem is my main hobby is electronics and tinkering with meatspace stuff, which is a hobby that can easily encourage hanging on to every motor, weird wire and other bits and bobs "just in case". Every new purchase comes in bulk so you wind up with a three hundred pack of shrink wrap tubing, or 1000 assorted resistors. I'm still not entirely sure how to deal with that. Especially since life has interfered in a good way I've had to temporarily shelf the hobby for a few years.

> There's no general constitutional level right to privacy comparable to that in ECHR.

I suspect that, in part, they are capable of this due to the lack of a vagueness doctrine. A law that broad would likely be unconstitutionally vague and difficult to square with the first amendment in the U.S., but is perfectly acceptable over there because vagueness is not a defense, and there is no equivalent protection of freedom of expression.

> The specific example of VRRP came about because of a Republican - Bork, who had his privacy invaded.

One example does not justify an eternity of digs that let everyone know who exactly how intolerant people can be here.

Added: as a matter of opinion, I value the broad protection of freedom of expression enjoyed in the U.S. far above any additional protection of privacy which could be provided.

> Homonyms don't exist in every language to the extant that you can write an entire essay with them.

Homonyms like that don't exist in any living language. Spoken Classical Chinese is a dead language, like Latin. You only get that effect when you use modern Mandarin pronunciations, they wouldn't have been homonyms if you didn't use anachronous pronunciations. It's sort of like writing a poem that means one thing in Latin and an entirely different thing in modern Italian.
Have you actually read that paper? Line by line? It's garbage.

The "researchers" bought a cow brain and cut a rectangular slab of it. So far so good. They put the slab in a plexiglas box and waited for it to reach thermal equilibrium with the room and air.

Then then held a cell phone directly against the brain tissue for 15 minutes.

Yes. That's right. They held the phone DIRECTLY AGAINST THE BRAIN.

They have the gall to describe this as being "exactly as a person was communicating with a cell phone." Yes, I always hold my phone directly against my brain tissue.

The effect measured was that the tissue got a fraction of a degree warmer. Of course cell-phones are very warm devices and will warm up any slab of flesh they're resting on.

Did the "researchers" isolate the radio energy by testing again with the phone on airplane mode? Nope. Did they in any way distinguish between radio energy and thermal energy from a battery-operated supercomputer? Nah bro. No discussion of that whatsoever.

Meanwhile, the paper is written like an undergraduate report by somebody who doesn't speak english very well and who doesn't have an editor. How could this be? Well, the paper was published in the International Journal of Preventive Medicine, a publication of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in Iran. This journal has an impact factor of 0.98, putting in the bottom third of all journals.

This isn't science in any way, shape or form. It should never be cited by anybody except as an example of a shitty, shitty paper.

The other part of that story is that due to Prop 13, you have old ladies living in 5 bedroom houses by themselves because if they downsize, their tax basis gets recalculated. So they might pay $5k per year on that big, expensive house but they might end up with $10k per year if they move to a much cheaper house directly next door.

Of course they are. They have to show growth quarter after quarter. Until investors stop punishing companies for not increasing growth every quarter, this will continue. Everything is money driven. There's no thought to the consumer any more. There doesn't have to be as there isn't any accountability to the consumer; they have nowhere else to go.

> If you're concerned with a drop in innovation, don't be - we're already far behind most of the rest of the developed world.

Not convinced by that - mobile telephony is pretty equal in technological innovation across most of the developed world (LTE rolled out, VoLTE rolled out by most carriers, 5G in planning), and handsets are pretty much the same for all markets.

That's essentially what I was saying. We have evidence that it is possible to be successful with both a monorepo and a polyrepo setup, which is perhaps uninteresting other than to contradict people saying that either setup is guaranteed to be an unmitigated disaster.

We also, however, have subjective feedback from people working on those teams as to how they think it would have been different. It's not rigorous data, but it shouldn't be altogether ignored either, particularly since rigorous data is so hard to come by.
