The point is to focus on the big wins. Save $1000 next time your buy a car and that covers almost a year of $5 lattes every weekday morning.

If you overpay on your next car, or negotiate badly on your next job offer, the money you saved by not buying lattes was all for nothing.

In other words, major financial decisions vastly outweigh the impact of a daily $5 purchase, so why focus on the small stuff? Yet much financial advice is about the small stuff, and this author is saying that's not a good approach.
This may not be doable with Tesla. I don't have schematics to prove it, but I think these systems are too coupled to each other, there is no way to disable.

Which means there will always be a way to hack into the system remotely and drive a high value target into oncoming traffic, for example.
>That tweet does not say anything like "trans people don't exist"...

The claim that all trans people are actually just cisgendered people trying to fool everyone does imply that trans people don't exist. It also implies that trans people are inherently deceptive. You are demonizing trans people when you claim this. Trans people are not mean-spirited demons who are trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes and to say that is unethical. Trans people are not "activists" for just being themselves and expecting to be treated with basic human dignity.

I've worked selling retail electronics, it was long ago, but I can extrapolate and infer that people generally don't understand much about the app store, and almost nobody choose Apple because of some well though through reasoning behind different app store models.

What most people do understand is based on experience in the physical world, where expectations of fair pricing is reasonable, because when you can select whatever store you want, that is an expected effect.
I have a similar grief with how they include videos in their curated playlists with no way to disable them. I find the videos distracting and happen to work in a location that has just enough reception that music streams fine, but the videos hiccup and stutter or fail to play completely. Failing would be great, but it essentially stops the playlist until I go in and skip the video manually. It's maddening and there's no plans to enable this feature:

I haven't personally heard a trans story that conflicts with "born this way", to understand what I mean you'd use the perspective that it refers to both the body and the mind that inhabits it.

"Any" bank can become a member. It is quite clear in plain english.
I'd love this. I think it's an overlooked use case but a common one. Happens to me all the time.

The closed captioning settings on a Roku player hint at something like that, but I'm not sure I've actually seen it work. Instead of just off and on, they have 4 settings: Off, On always, On replay, and On mute. (More details: https://support.roku.com/article/208756848-how-to-enable-clo...)

Another possible variation on this would be to just let you scroll back through subtitles without stopping the video. It would be nice to continue without breaking the flow, but maybe it would be confusing or weird for them to be out of sync.

Regardless of your political opinion on Andrew Yang and his proposed policies, I think it is worth hearing him out on his (and many other's) perspective on modern capitalism.

The way our society define and value ourselves primarily on a couple of economic metrics seems misguided. These metrics are not representative of people's well being in our modern, more technological advanced society.

I think our definition of capitalism needs to evolve (like Andrew Yang says).
It's a widely held belief that response times directly influence revenue. Lots of web pages don't load in less than a second. Every bit helps. Increased performance means that you can do more work before hitting your target, meaning you can deliver more complex things.

The lengths people will go to to disagree with something that makes them uncomfortable... I guess it's also not illegal to break into somebody's house because, you know, you can do it with a court order. And your other point is about five years not being recent?

What I don't see mentioned in the article or comments is the fact that the latte isn't the only $5 decision we make every day. We can choose not to buy the latte, and to pack our own lunch, and to choose cheaper veg instead of meats at the grocery store, and on and on. Frequently it's multiple smaller choices that add up to noticeable benefit, even when a single latte or lunch out won't break the bank.

(of course there are frequently good reasons to buy things, particularly when there's a social component -- e.g. as a byproduct of spending time with people, as an informal break with coworkers)

I fully agree with all that. I was photo editor of my undergrad paper back in the day and just the mechanics of shooting film, developing it, printing it required quite a bit of knowledge just to get to output that was reasonably competent technically.

Of course, go back pre-35mm and that was even more the case but--as you say--even just a phone takes precent decent pictures for at least certain types of shots if you even halfway know what you're doing. I have tons of equipment and even I just default to my iPhone a lot of the time for casual "memory" type shots.

I think it is fair to say that there are conservatives out there who manage not to make anti-trans, anti-lgbtq comments out there.

Anti-immigration... well... that's policy related and I think that's perfectly acceptable. As long as it isn't bigoted and remains practical, there's nothing necessarily wrong with wanting to close borders (I think its the wrong move but yeah, we can certainly talk policy).

Kay Coles James had the following tweet, which was what set off the firestorm of criticism:

https://twitter.com/KayColesJames/status/1108365238779498497

> Today @heritage will critique gender identity @UN_CSW because powerful nations are pressing for the radical redefining of sex. If they can change the definition of women to include men, they can erase efforts to empower women economically, socially, and politically. #CSW63

Part of this problem is the restrictive nature of Twitter: you can't open a can of worms like this without people seeing the worst in it. Based on her anti-trans statements in the past, people are reading into this as bigoted against transexuals (ie: Refusing to call people by their preferred gender).

If someone is unable to keep an open mind about transgendered people, they probably shouldn't be allowed onto an ethics board.

----------

Its very difficult for me to find a non-bigoted interpretation of the above tweet. It seems pretty clearly cut to be anti-trans people.

-------------

In any case, I appreciate the difficulty in setting up an ethics board. There are a diverse set of opinions in the USA, and the overriding "meta-opinion" of openness to new thoughts immediately comes into contradiction as soon as bigots arrive.

So the question is: do you allow the transsexuals to enter your ethics board, or do you allow anti-trans opinions onto the board? In my eyes, there's one set of opinion that is more valuable.

> Has that actually happened in Singapore though?

Singapore is more worried about publications which undermine confidence in the government.

A few months ago, a website was blocked for alleging that the government ministers were threatening war against Malaysia over a border dispute: https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/singapore-herald-webs...

Critics of the current bill fear that the executive (which, like in other Commonwealth nations, is formed out of the dominant party in the legislature) would use their new powers on any media which refuses to follow the government's narrative.
I will not buy a laptop that doesn't have physical buttons on the touchpad. The reliability of knowing that my clicks are exact, saves me time and frustration. Sadly this is my only reason to not own a Purism.

But if you are considering the Dell XPS, I recommend you instead check out their Latitude 7xxx series. (On the website you find them under "For Work" instead of "For Home"). Like the Dell Latitude 7390 or 7490. Yay for real buttons. And pretty good in other areas as well, such as the keyboard quality, and ports.

It doesn't have touchpoint though. I just want a touchpad with real buttons. There aren't many options for that anymore. Another nice and relatively unknown option is the VAIO (no longer from Sony). https://us.vaio.com

I would LOVE to get a Purism if only it had the buttons.
This is insane. The thing actually runs really well.

> Just have goals that are easily measured.

If people's actual goals were easily measured, that would be great, but they aren't, and basing a system of government on the idea that you can pretend they are is silly.
One other thing, because I do think this is also important. In the presented hypothetical, "highly unpopular among educated people" is an important condition which I'd love to see data for in the case in question. That will require carefully pinning down by what views we really think Kay Coles James holds, though; I suspect that support for her views varies quite significantly based on that, and also based on geography and age, after controlling for education.

I, personally, would not be surprised if 30%, or more, of "educated people" across the US agreed that some (though perhaps not all) of the issues she raises are valid issues that need to be addressed.

Now maybe this just makes the situation scarier for trans people, of course....
Isn’t this more soft handed than exclusivity deals (which is really a kind of non-compete)? And people seem quite okay with those, even though such deals smells like the product of extremely lopsided power.

If they created the market, why is this a problem? In my head, it’s their market, so they can decide what to allow and provide, the same way Kirkland does at Costco. They’re not even a majority, let alone a monopoly. It’s anti competitive, but I don’t understand the need for outside intervention.

I agree that the spread of particularly vicious lies is a problem, but that doesn't mean the answer is for a government entity to draw the line.

Maybe the solution to the problem is pressuring Facebook and Google. Maybe the solution is changing tech culture. Maybe the solution is more aggressively demoting fake news and promoting debunking of fake news. Even if you want a governmental component, maybe we should only go so far as a law requiring advertising networks to make it easier/possible for an advertiser to blacklist who gets their money (I know people who have tried, failed, and ultimately gave up on trying to prevent their ads from showing up on Breitbart).
I have an aeropress and use a grinder and buy "hipster" coffee shop beans. I use a french press to make the froth. I love the latte I make. However, I still spend an awful lot on lattes. 1) I like variety 2) It's not practical to this at the office kitchen and office coffee sucks. 3) I like getting out of the office and for some reason "getting coffee" is an easy way for me to that.

Also, on the broader point - savings do matter. It's like trying to lose weight. You can't lose weight by simply working out and not making any changes to the diet. However, having to control all these impulses and every little temptation, is taxing on the brain. I can only speak for myself here, it affects my cognition. I can splurge a bit and free up my mind to focus on the things that matter more. It's taxing to always stay in control and trying to optimize every single thing.
Because open sourcing that code is taking work away from future software developers. The second company which needs that software would otherwise have to pay employees to build it or purchase it from third party software developers. The person open sourcing the software is therefore lowering the global demand for software developers which hurts the wages of all software developers.

For the record, I don't think this means we should abandon open source software. I simply thought it was a good analogy to illustrate why OP's argument was flawed and that we shouldn't be blaming people for taking these "terrible jobs".

Yes, it does. Being untestable is about as incompatible with science as you can get. And arbitrarily labeling an untestable claim with a fancy word also doesn't make it compatible with science.

For me, watching TV shows with subtitles is an excellent way to learn a language, once you are beyond the basics.

I would watch the show with subtitles; when I didn't understand something, I would pause, look up the phrase/words, write them down for future repetition and continue.

A technology solution for this is awesome.
You can already see examples of this.

Take callback hell. Opaque callbacks are the functional equivalent of goto statements.

Also, many functional programmers, particularly Haskell programmers, seem not to care about readability and maintainability. They're focused on maximizing their own productivity as an individual coder, and writing cool concise and abstracted code that might not actually be easy for another engineer to understand and modify.

The difference though is that good functional programming is still quite common whereas good object oriented programming seems to be rare (the one exception being microservices).
I can relate to that. Given that the music industry as a whole just wants to maximise average spending per person, a package deal of a streaming subscription with a trickle of permanent licences added as the cherry on top could surely entice many to increase their spending to subscription level. Eligibility to once a month promote one favorite track to "keeper" or something like that.

I doubt that it would cannibalize much, because I really think that pretty much everyone who currently buys some of the content they already pay for in a subscription is doing so for a physical copy (which would not be part of the cherry-on-top trickle). It also would not threaten the subscription, because the library one could build from that would not reach "cord cutting" volume even after a lifetime of trickle licences.

As usual, it won't exist because content owners can never understand that they would not lose anything.
I actually think it would be great if people started donating to people on the other side of the political spectrum. Can you imagine if a large percentage of climate change interested donors flooded republican climate deniers with donations, became a large share of their campaign funds and sought to influence them rather than people that already agree?
I'm not sure that's really feasible for two reasons.

1) How do you know it's a loophole. Sure, there's probably some instances where it's pretty obvious what you're doing is a loophole. But others require you to be up-to-date on economic and political debates as well as being extremely well read in the tax law. Similarly, half of the people who signed the loophole into law may consider it not a loophole and the other half might consider it to be a loophole. In general there's no way to know.

2) What if part of the tax law was signed into law specifically as a favor to a corporate entity who funded a political candidate, but disguised with complicated language so it's not obvious who is getting the favor. In this instance realizing that you qualify for the tax reduction would be considered a loophole by the shady politician that created the law ... or a bonus because it will obfuscate who the kickback is going to.

In case 1), I feel a little bit uncomfortable with calling someone's action unethical when it depends on their ability to understand a complicated law AND the economic scenario and theory behind the law AND the minds of ALL politicians involved with making the law.

In case 2), I actively want everyone to abuse loopholes created for this purpose as much as possible. It's like watching someone burn themselves on a stove. If a politician is doing this sort of thing, I want it to blow up in their face so they learn not to try to do such things in the future.

Your link shows it bottoming out in 2009-2011 after the housing crash, well below the 1992 ratio. And then a steady and mostly linear climb from late 2011 to the end of the data.

After that early 90s recession there's a steady rise to the dotcom burst around 2000, which bottoms around 03 and starts to rise again until the housing crash. Seems like a pattern. Progress until the financiers manage to tank the economy, repeat.
