"Boomers" didn't really do this--a small cadre of the ultra-wealthy did this with the help of a lot of stupid people.

"Boomers", in fact, were probably the last generation to engage in successful large-scale labor actions.

The fight isn't between generations--the fight is against the concentration of wealth.

Given the current FCC Chairman, I cannot bring myself to even look. This person is definitely not pro-consumer. There are definitely places where consolidation into a given company can be a positive. I cannot be convinced that given the actions taken by the telecom industry in the past that any movement towards more consolidation will be a net positive today and in the near future.
I read the audit, and here's something I noticed (other than that it's 8 years old):

"In determining appropriate retention periods for personal information, data controllers can have due regard to any statutory obligations to retain data. However, if the purpose for which the information was obtained has ceased and the personal information is no longer required for that purpose, the data must be deleted or disposed of in a secure manner. Full and irrevocable anonymisation would achieve the same objective." (Page 69, under 3.4 Retention)

So basically, as long as it's anonymised, the data can be retained.

Game theory is a useful framework for this problem in the sense that almost any double-sided market can be trivially formulated into a game-theoretic framework. But viewing college admissions as a Nash equilibrium doesn't meaningfully clarify the problem.

That said, I generally agree with the article. America's elite private universities have almost always been about signalling over substance, an orientation that can be traced back to their origins as bastions of elite privilege. Our recent attempts at reform, via affirmative action and more recently, the SAT adversity score, have been nothing more than attempts to spread the benefits of signalling to new, heretofore underrepresented, groups.

The real solution, of course, is to tear this reputation market down. We need to work to remove the signalling benefits of so-called "elite" institutions, and in doing so, remove their stranglehold on access to a number of prestigious jobs and career paths.

How do we do this? I'm not sure, exactly. The radical solution is to nationalize all universities, redistribute their endowments more equitably, and enforce a singular admissions and educational process on all of them. This enforced uniformity would destroy "elite" signalling.

There are incremental steps to this, though. Implement new rules to force colleges to expand their enrollment to maintain non-profit status (and thus retain untaxed earnings from their endowments). Pour more money in flagship public universities to create strong alternatives to private education (i.e. make a UC Berkeley for every state). And so on. Reduce the distinctiveness of the elite privates, and their value as signalling institutions decreases.

You are comparing a program where the benefits vastly outweigh the cost to a program where the benefit is mostly speculative and the cost known.

The cost of full body imaging is not just in the scan itself but in the procedures that follow it that require anasthesia (non-zero chance of killing the patient), cause pain and may cause secondary infection. In fact, just being in the hospital or doctors office to get the procedure has a non-zero risk to due to the concentration of sick people there.

The plural of anecdote is not data. And taking the furthest logical conclusion ("Government regulation ends in violence!") is utterly ridiculous and unnecessary in this context.

To be clear, the United States' public education system is BAD. It is sometimes VERY BAD. But it's not consistently bad; there are public schools that are quite good.

There are other countries with heavily regulated public education systems that are so much better than the United States - read up on Finland's remarkable public education system if you don't believe me. (And don't get tripped up on inconsistent usage of "public" and "private" to mean opposites in different countries!)

So logically, the problem isn't that government regulation of education is inherently bad; Rather, the problem is that we (in the United States) are doing a bad job of it. Splitting public education funding between public schools and charter schools and forcing public schools to compete with test scores and other proxy metrics is demonstrably making things worse, not better.

The VA (veterans admin) alone has more than 350,000 employees. This does not count contractors, which could easily double the count.

Your idea makes sense if you're talking about an organization in the hundreds, but an organization the size and breadth of the VA already has the responsibility to do this job, and given their budget and headcount, they should be able to do this job and have the specialists required to get it done.
>...I’m aware this is a tangent, but I couldn’t find any mention of nuclear weapons in the wikipedia page for Operation Downfall
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Downfall

There is a section of that wikipedia page that talks about the planned use of atomic bombs during the invasion:

>Nuclear weapons

>On Marshall's orders, Major General John E. Hull looked into the tactical use of nuclear weapons for the invasion of the Japanese home islands, even after the dropping of two strategic atomic bombs on Japan (Marshall did not think that the Japanese would capitulate immediately). Colonel Lyle E. Seeman reported that at least seven Fat Man-type plutonium implosion bombs would be available by X-Day, which could be dropped on defending forces. Seeman advised that American troops not enter an area hit by a bomb for "at least 48 hours"; the risk of nuclear fallout was not well understood, and such a short amount of time after detonation would have resulted in substantial radiation exposure for the American troops.[81]

>Ken Nichols, the District Engineer of the Manhattan Engineer District, wrote that at the beginning of August 1945, "[p]lanning for the invasion of the main Japanese home islands had reached its final stages, and if the landings actually took place, we might supply about fifteen atomic bombs to support the troops."[82] An air burst 1,800–2,000 ft (550–610 m) above the ground had been chosen for the (Hiroshima) bomb to achieve maximum blast effects, and to minimize residual radiation on the ground as it was hoped that American troops would soon occupy the city.[83]

You need to look at what was done in response to those warnings before you can say whether they were wrong — otherwise you’re like the people who say Y2K was a waste of money because they didn’t see the bugs which were fixed.

In the case of CFCs, we know that a global response largely solved the problem. In the case of global warming, where a trillion dollar industry has been pumping out spin since they first realized global warming was really happening in the 1970s, we have not see the same response and we’re right on the trajectory predicted by reports in the 1990s — only now it’ll be much harder to do anything:

If it's delivered by private companies, yes. In the same way, General Motors is still a private entity even if it sells cars to the government.

The point is that you have a bunch of independent entities competing with each other. You don't have that with a government school district.
This letter is making some pretty superficial observations that I don't think hold up.

The background you need for the letter is the debate between "human capital" (H.C.) and "signaling" in education; H.C. is a longhand for "intrinsically valuable", and signaling is a shorthand for "indirectly valuable by improving the student's reputation".

First, the author (correctly, I think? I suck at math but this sounds correct) believes that AP Stat would be better for H.C. than AP Calc, which is mostly about signaling. School districts have to decide which courses to carry, and the author presumes they carry AP Calc to minmax for prestige college admissions.

Second, the author observes that schools have varying levels of rigor; a better, rigorous school might give a C where a weaker, more generous school would give a B. The weaker school produces graduates with higher GPAs, again minmaxing for college admissions over H.C.

Problems with both observations:

1. It's not clear that AP Stat disadvantages students versus AP Calc. The author didn't make the argument that AP classes in general optimize for signaling --- that argument seems harder to defend. So why don't high schools sub out Calc for Stat? "Because colleges would have a problem with that" doesn't seem like the answer. So what are we left with? "There are better high school math curricula than the ones we have now?" Lots of people already agree with that.

2. Selective colleges already account for the differing rigor of different high schools. A 3.4 at one school is not necessarily as valuable as the 3.4 of every other school.
Not everybody is that self-aware, I would argue that the majority isn't.

You have to look at it from a statistical angle. What percentage of population is capable of not falling prey to sophisticated machine learning algorithms which optimize for engagement rather than the user's well-being?

> someone starting from the bottom has a lot more to gain given they aren't paying into the trap of debt

It's very hard to find a poor person who isn't saddled with debt, whether they have student loans or not. Being poor is very expensive, after all.

That said, I don't think a person's monetary wealth can be measured by their income alone. It has to be measured in net terms: assets (including income) minus overhead and debts owed. A lot of people who consider themselves wealthy are actually poor and living on borrowed (i.e., somebody else's) wealth.

It takes time, effort and interest to do so.

Additionally, one must learn the politics, code-style, idiosyncrasies, etc before submission will be successful. And of course, the architecture of the project itself.

Open Source / FOSS creates the opportunity for anyone to offer code; it does not mean it will so simply be accepted, or should be. And it does not mean you can, or should. But if you wish to, a path always exist (if they just plain don't want it, and you really want to add it... fork!)
One solution to the problem of schools ranking kids with a B average versus a C average is simply to not let individuals set the grades at all. Have a national set of standard exams (as is done in the UK and many other countries).

This doesn’t solve the issue completely - schools turn into “SAT prep centers” to an extent - but it definitely helps compare students and teaching across multiple schools.

It's a bad-faith fallacy because the OP's point holds even if the playing field is level and the state doesn't have an advantage in any other component than the stated one (time). The bad-faith comment (yours) instead reversed it, implicitly claiming the state was negatively positioned with respect to factors other than time, and pretended that was the OP's argument.
Writing software is not engineering - engineering is building the same thing over and over again and you slowly learn how to do it the right way. There are incremental improvements along the way - stronger lighter materials, better tools, etc. But the folks who built the Roman aqueducts could get up to speed pretty quickly on the Golden Gate Bridge.

The principles of flight don't change. The fundamentals of building a skyscraper or a bridge don't change. There are hundreds of years of learning behind those things that are still relevant today.

Building airplanes and bridges and skyscrapers is not hard at all. People do it all the time with a high success rate. The hardest part is scraping up the capital and managing the logistics. I'm sure none of that knowledge is required to get any kind of engineering certification.

If you redesigned every bridge and airplane from scratch, from first principles, you would have a tremendous failure rate no matter how many certifications you held. That's what software is - every project is a brand new thing that has never been done before - there isn't 200 years of learning to fall back on.

One of the worst things that could happen to the software industry is for bureaucrats and other people who know nothing about software to really believe it is an engineering discipline and try and regulate it as such. We'll all be forced to do a fantastic amount of busy work to meet arbitrary and archaic "engineering standards", and the software will actually decline in quality. You'll be fined $50,000 if you use tabs rather than spaces, or don't use yoda compares in your C. But as long as you are using spaces and yoda compares you won't be liable for a failure. Stuff basically like that.

Maybe when we have 200 years of experience writing software, rather than 50 or so, we can start to think about formalizing it as an engineering job.
I would take it out. It seems a bit silly :)
Yeah this is a great way to tackle it. Image and branding comes along for the ride. Even if it's your desire - the client's desire is typically going to be functionality, security, usability, accessibility, etc. All of which are a means to an end for a lone wolf designer/engineer. Listen and learn from them about their pain points before promoting your own skills or favorite parts of the industry.
It needs to be a lot more intuitive how to resize elements - especially since the tutorial isn't implemented yet. I've no clue how to do it.

MRIs take as long as you can afford.

I have actually run ~3 hour MRIs for experiments, but we're being very fussy and trying to get the best possible image with the smallest possible voxel, which you do by acquiring tons of volumes and averaging them. Obviously, you can be in and out of there much quicker if you're just looking for a gaping hole.
That wouldn't have worked for the problem unfortunately. It was a pretty compact UI with a lot going on so scrolls wouldn't have masked enough components. Thanks for the link though.

To me this story of boomers callously enriching themselves at the expense of future generations sounds like just a bigoted unfounded accusation. Talk about not taking responsibility.. foisting all your problems onto the parent generation as if you yourself have no agency to tackle these challenges. Maybe the millenials will be blamed by the next generation for just burying themselves in video games and drugs at the time when climate change became common knowledge, when there was still time to do so something but instead they chose to be pandered to.

I use an extension called ["News Feed Eradicator"](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/news-feed-eradicat...) because I rarely find that I get much, if any, value from the Facebook feed. As Ricky says, the links to external articles don't really match the context that I have when using Facebook. I use it almost exclusively for posts/messages within Groups and Messenger, both of which I feel like provide value more attuned to the original value prop, which is to stay in touch with friends and family.

I find a lot more value in vertical-specific feeds, e.g. I want to see my friends' training runs and races on Strava, reading inspiration on Goodreads, or travel and food adventures on Instagram. Instagram is a little bit more generic, but at least I generally have a better sense of what to expect when I open the feed than I would on Facebook.
You're not doing the bare minimum of even attempting to understand the purpose of my argument and instead taking the dumbest possible literal interpretation and then responding to that. That is the very definition of a bad-faith argument.

Governments can hire experts to determine standards by doing research, and then can apply those standards over time to the schools they regulate. They can also collect massive amounts of data and compare performance between schools, across time, determine means and check for outliers, etc. etc. etc.

My argument is that consumers don't have time to do any of that. They have time to do what they do with colleges: Read a limited number pamphlets, thumb through Newsweek's annual "best colleges" report, maybe spend a few minutes here and there checking data online.

We can, as a society, devote more resources to making sure the government regulation side of things improves. What we can't do is collectively give OURSELVES more time to do that research individually.
So it takes an entire year to maybe disassociate yourself from Facebook?

I once had a similar exchange, but about "#1 priority". I had multiple items that I was told were my "#1 priority", and when someone wanted to add another one, I had to tell them that their item would have to take a back seat to the other "#1 priority" items that came in first.
You would get charter schools that emphasized signalling. You might get some that emphasized human capital. That would leave parents able to choose - if they actually perceived what was going on.

As it is, though, if I want actual human capital in my child's education, it's either private school or homeschooling. To the degree (if any) that private schools emphasize human capital over signalling, I'm not sure that privatizing schools plus vouchers would make them change to emphasizing signalling. So I don't think the situation would become worse, and it might become better.

I guess I don’t understand why it’s not easier to doubt what we think we know than invent something we don’t have evidence for. Is dark matter’s existence a settled thing?
