One of the biggest problems that I've faced in my life has been getting admitted to a top university. At some top schools, the acceptance rate can be as low as 4 or 5% of applicants. It's way too competitive. So, I set out to solve this pain point and the result is Sidedoor.

Sidedoor partners with coaches at the nation's top university to guarantee your admission at colleges including Yale, USC, and many more.

In just a few clicks, you'll be able to reserve a spot at the school of your choice. No legacy status required. And don't worry, you don't need to be athletic - just wealthy!

Hope you enjoy the service, and please let me know your thoughts!

Since humans are sufficiently different from other creatures that animal testing alone isn't sufficient for neither efficiency nor safety tests, we do run clinical trials on human volunteers, as we don't really have a choice. Launching new drugs without such tests costs more lives, and not launching new drugs also costs, so we do human testing with the understanding that sometimes it costs lives and causes other grievous harm.

However, since testing human medicines on other species does have some sense, we would consider it unethical to run potentially risky tests on humans if that can be avoided by doing preliminary tests on animals instead. If it turns out that some drug which seems safe in vitro actually turns out harmful in the whole organism, then we do want to determine that before trying it out on humans even if that process takes the lives of a lot of lab mice.

If your experimentation kills a patient because you intentionally didn't do the due diligence in order to save some animals, that's not an excuse, that's IMHO as good as murder.

Another question: if they do all this just to make the Chinese government happy (to earn more money), what is done to make the USA government happy (to earn more money)?

How should I trust that they won't "sell" my personal data to a government paying the most for that? How should I trust such an entity which makes the government happy, not the people? Are we really just the product sold to the people who have power?

It's hard to avoid Google totally as many of the emails I send are stored later on Google's servers, even if I don't send it from a Google account.

"Don't be evil" should rather be changed to "Don't be evil (whatever makes money is fine)".

At the same time China switched off the corruption AI, the rumor says that because it was too efficient in tracking the officials. If Google supports such a system, what would be next? Covering for selling children?

On the other hand, when Nazis were making the death camps, many companies happily provided lots of help, all for money. Seems like for too many stakeholders the money is the only thing that matters, not the people. Even if this is behind "don't be evil" faded unreadable flag.

I'm not living in the USA, should I assume that Google will work with my government to do evil against me?
Yes, they have a fleet... that also fails in a number of ambiguous situations that average human drivers handle easily. I've observed failures in more than half my trips through Mountain View.

Two use cases happen repeatedly: first, it's indecisive on lane changes when there are vehicle(s) in its targeted lane for a long time. If it cannot merge over safely due to traffic or rudeness, it will Stop in its lane until a clearance occurs -- the concept of proceeding to the next left and making a U-turn seems incomprehensible. Second, in certain right turn situations on a red light, it will hever turn if there is traffic in far lanes even if the nearest lane has a generous opening. I see this all the time on the right turn from eastbound Central turning onto southbound Castro St., for example.
I don't see a difference there, PHP code can run on any webserver your hoster operaters provided they route the request correctly (I've once used a web provider that would rsync your PHP code to a geolocated DC if they detected more traffic from your region). If this is via vhosts or other routing methods is almost irrelevant, PHP code behaves extremely similar to "serverless" code (except it's often much cheaper).

I don't have a citation for this, but I read something recently about a study where people who had been introduced to the concept of decision-making fatigue experienced it, while people who weren't aware of it didn't.

The mind is a wacky thing, I think we know a lot less about it than we believe. One idea I like which seems to have some real world support is that your mental models make all the difference -- if you believe that something's hard and unpleasant, your belief becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and you'll experience distress when you do it. If you're able to somehow reshape your beliefs, that distress may diminish. Cognitive behavioral therapy is based on this model and has a strong clinical track record.

Exactly, but since it's a learning project it's not obvious it's supposed to receive and accept code contribution anyway (so far it didn't receive any, the only two commits are fixes to typos in the README).

That being said, it would be nice from the author to put the code under a permissive license to allow other people to play with his code too (at the moment, even forking it is a copyright infringement…).
Obstacks (Use Cases)

I would agree with this. I have a number of friends doing Data Science consulting (PowerBI/Tableau/etc), and it seems like they average out around the $180-200 range. I think they're undercharging, and I've had no problems getting business/repeat business up to around $250. Beyond that and you're in the bailiwick of the Accentures and their ilk.

The more projects you do, the more repeat business, the better you get, and the more you learn to not underprice you work (which helps you focus on the good projects where you can have the most impact). It pretty much compounds.

For the hourly stuff, I've had very little pushback until I get much above $250. Most of that work is break/fix. As above, I much prefer to do project based work and bid on a project by project basis. (Gives me incentive to work harder/faster, and gives the customers a predictable price. I've found a lot of them are wary of open-top ended contracts).
There is an organization that focuses on this which has been quite successful as far as I know.

https://www.kiva.org/

The idea is micro loans directly to people who want to do something like buy a cow.

"Kiva loans have a historical repayment rate of about 97% (this number fluctuates slightly so check Kiva's homepage for the current rate)"

When you receive the money back you can then make another micro loan to help someone else out.
Sure.

The question is the type of society we want to live in.

Do we want to credential sub-par kids becuase “money” and give them a better chance at life to run the country?

Or do we want to promote the best and most astute thinkers and give them the best chance to run our country?

That's what makes cooperation an important aspect of these types of ideologies. In Humanizing The Economy[0], the author describes successful cooperative movements from around the world that are based on localized democratic principles but leverage large-scale cooperation to organize at scale.

My question was about a sci-fi hypothetical scenario, not the current state of things.

However the hypocrisy of the current state of things is staggering to me. Using words like 'ethical' and 'unethical' makes it worse. Nothing makes a human being's life more important than the life of a lab mouse. To avoid a result "as good as murder" in humans, we are actually murdering other animals.
Ive tried to get a plethora of acquaintances and coworkers to try vape, the upfront cost of a good quality reliable one-device system can easily exceed a couple hundred dollars. The majority of people who I discuss this with are upfront-cost conscious above all, they just have $5 a day (or 2 packs a NY day being $14 a day) and have too little money to gamble, in their mind, on will vaping work.

Scholarly articles on nicotine replacement show that for every person who successful quits using that it costs around $7k, magnitudes more $$ than vape. For some people nicotine is one of the only things they have that makes them hate life less and be able to cope better. On some level I find it unfair that people should say 'well you shouldn't do that categorically' when the vast majority of people have their own individual preferences on vice.

Every machine I've owned does this when you leave it outside during winter
Naturally I disagree. The US has been waging a never ending global war on "terror" since 2001. I'll also cite Hans Herman Hoppe's lecture refuting Steven Pinker. Apologies in advance for his thorough technique.

"Pinker devotes some 10 pages (pp. 228-238) to this case, and the central information is condensed in a single graph (p. 230) depicting the “rate of death in conflicts in greater Europe, 1400-2000.” If anything, however, this graph demonstrates the opposite of Pinker’s progress thesis. What it shows is that the longest period of (relative) peacefulness and low levels of violence were the almost 200 years from 1400 until the very end of the 16th century. Yet this period falls precisely within the longer period of the European Middle Ages (and marks its end), and the Middle Ages, as I have argued before, are a prime example of a State-less social order. (Interestingly, Pinker concurs with this assessment of medieval Europe as State-less, but he then fails to see that this assessment implies, according to his own data, an empirical refutation of his thesis.)

And it gets worse for Pinker’s case. According to the same graph, the following historical period, from the late 16th century on to the present, is characterized by three huge spikes in the level of violence. The first spike, from the late 16th century until the Westphalian Peace in 1648, is largely associated with the 30-Years-War; the second, from the late 18th century until 1815 and somewhat less steep than the first, is associated with the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars; and the third and greatest spike, from 1914-1945, is associated with the 20th century’s two World Wars. As well, for all intermediate periods, the level of violence remained well above that of medieval times and this level was only reached again, three centuries later, during the period from 1815-1914, and again during the post-WW II era. All in all, then, the record for post-medieval Europe in terms of violence appears rather depressive. And yet, the entire period, from the late 16th century until today, is the era of States, which Pinker considers the driving forces of a “civilizing process.” "

Thank you for such a clear explanation. As somebody that clearly knows their onions on this topic, are you able to answer a couple more questions?

1. Under distributism, what happens to people who can’t produce valuable economic output - the old, disabled, infirm?

2. How does distributism deal with externalities, both positive and negative. What incentive is there for charity or creative work where results benefit the whole group, so nobody wants to pay?

You'd be safer with this assumption anyway. But again, after telling the whole internet you're using random 32 character strings for that it's likely that you just lowered the bar a little for social engineering. It is easier than you think to call a call center and convince someone to perform a password reset or a SIM porting (for hijacking). At least don't give them another plausible avenue.
