I understand how many can feel that way, but what if these photographers were genuinely interested in the underlying work. They did put in the effort to travel all the way to a farm to check it out. They took pictures of it in appreciation. Maybe they did not know how to properly respect the people and the place, maybe they should be taught rather than chastised.

This assumes that people operate only on expected value and don't care about variance at all, which is incorrect empirically, theoretically, and intuitively. The premium you pay for reducing variance is called a "risk premium", and it follows pretty trivially from the diminishing marginal utility of money (though there are many other ways to derive/explain it). This is the entire reason that insurance exists as a product: it's not designed solely to cover existential risks or to prey on the irrational.

In the Santa Clara valley. Used to be the water table was so high in a lot of places you could drill artesian wells. When orchard farms got going they pulled so much water that by the 19920's some places sunk 12 feet. The fix was irrigation systems and replenishment.

I read my great grandfathers diaries and water was a big deal in the 1880's. One spring after dry winter he had to slaughter all of his calves and the older dairy cows. Later that year his older brother shot himself in despair. Next year his sisters and younger brother went up to Oregon to live with relatives and never returned.

Water has been a big deal my whole life in California. That's unremarkable. What's new is it's becoming a big deal in a lot of places.

Until you're critical of the party leadership, or have forbidden religious beliefs, and then you get whisked away to a concentration camp (if you're lucky!) or get surgically parted out for organ transplants, often without anaesthetic.

The US has plenty of problems, but to say China is more free is a very distasteful and not particularly funny joke.
No doubt the US could blockade China. But given a big percentage of their trade is with the US, it involves a lot of pain and certain recession for the US as a consequence. It would hurt the US just about as much as China. A Pyric victory?

Sure, traveling just to achieve certain bragging rights is superficial and silly, but that doesn't mean travel itself isn't valuable. Similarly, reading books just to say you've read the most or the hardest is silly, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't read.

Traveling allows you to viscerally see how people live and value things differently from you. There is much to be gained from it if you do it for the right reasons.

Fortune?

The problem is recognizing that appreciation without weathering the crushing taxes. Proposition 5 (portability of Jarvis Gann property tax bases) would have helped, but it was voted down.

Take a single person with $1 million in appreciation. $750K gets hit with (unindexed!) Federal capital gains, full CA income taxes with surtaxes "for the rich" (likewise unindexed), and you'd be starting over with respect to property tax basis (with a few exceptions in 9 counties).

I'll explain something as a technical person to another technical person, assuming you have some level of civility and you weren't born in a cave and raised by an algorithm

Human beings communicate in many ways outside of words, so you're in luck, you don't have to have good verbal skills, you have to have better non-verbal skills

If I were in your position I'd rise to the challenge and understand that although becoming a manager is not a promotion in many senses of the word, there is an additional level of responsibility, and some people will consider you to be in a position of 'leadership' or even a 'boss' whether you like to admit it or not

As such, it is helpful and humble to apply a semaphore, a visible, definite cue that you accept this duty and wish to make the most of the opportunity, and that you're aware that people's careers are now interdependent with yours even more than before

One traditional cue that has been lost to the sands of time is the humble necktie -- it has been worn by such giants of computing and computer science such as Alan Turing, Vint Cerf, and Steve Jobs, Hewlett and Packard..

The reason I call it humble is because it is, contrary to popular opinion, wearing a necktie is not haughty or entitled, on the contrary it can also be humbling and genuine if done with a pure heart for the right reasons (of which I assure you there are plenty --)

It's a way to signal in a definite, visible, nonverbal way that you take your role seriously and are willing to put in that extra effort and expect more of yourself than your 'charges' 'underlings' 'reports' 'resources', 'assignments'.. call them what they are: 'people'

You can consider my words of advice to you and I'm sure you'll go with the hoi polloi and make a million excuses as to why it's inappropriate to wear a tie, as a manager, as someone who openly admits your own deficiencies

I say it's better to rise to the occasion

You'd think technical people would've figured these things out by now but I guess in some cases it's one thing to read about things in books and another to understand context still matters in real life
> if I started going bald, I’d want a “cure” or treatment

If I started going bald, I'd do anything I could to stop it. I'm not particularly vain, so I don't think this desire really comes from vanity, it's more a stubbornness to accept aging and eventually death.
Many gay subcultures are thoroughly obsessed with appearance. I'm not a bad looking guy, but I wandered into a gay house party one day and was amazed at how every single guy there was much better looking than I was. They all, and I mean every last one of them, and there were hundreds crammed into that penthouse suite, simply cared about their appearance way more.

Very very few people “viscerally see how people live and value things differently” when they travel. And they can’t without an order of magnitude more time and money to spend on that travel.

Actually living in a different place will certainly do that, but “travel” almost never will.
As an amateur military historian (specializing in WW2 in the Pacific), the salient things are:

- WW2 was a contest to the death of ideologies that happened after the USA became isolationist and weak (Dr. Hansen)

- today, the USA is not overtly isolationist, however their loyalty to Taiwan, HK, etc. is suspect. The USA is weak on aircraft inventory - the F-22 fleet rounds off to zero, same with the F-35. Way to go, military procurement officers!

- The CCP is brittle - they may go nuclear if facing a loss since they never back down or take no for an answer

- Taiwan could plan to defend itself. It already has enough F-16s (unless surprise-striked), it just needs to give every citizen a MANPAD and a rifle.

- Although CCP is building a navy to rival the USA, the USA is ready today and could blockade China and overwhlem the 9-dash islands with cruise missiles or ICBMs.

- the one advantage of a war with China is that the USA would have a free pass to rain missiles on North Korea

Interesting times!
In the US maybe. Where I'm from (Israel) the majority of prime ministers were bald or balding. It seems a lot of Russian/Soviet leaders were bald as well (and this seem to apply to many European countries).

While I am not quite there on the balding aspect, I feel a similar way about beards.

For some weird genetic reason, at 30yo, I still can’t grow much facial hair and all of the hair above my lips is blonde. I do grow quite a bit of hair below the jaw-line though...

It doesn’t bother me much even though beards are nearly universal where I live among men (Texas) and all the men in my family grow full, uniform-colored lumberjack beards.

I wish I felt the same about balding and hairlines... can’t say that I do. I have always had thin hair and started noticing balding around age 24-25, I’d guess. None of the brothers aged 35-50 have much noticeable balding. Genetically, I guess I got the short end of the stick with regards to hair in my family.

Oh well.

Sorry, but your one accidental foray into a single gay party is not exactly convincing evidence for your theory.

More importantly, even if gay men care about their appearance more than straight men, I'm not convinced that the behavior is purely linked to them being gay, as much as social norms that have developed around what "being gay" is "supposed to be".

Sure gay people often run in different social circles as straight people, and it makes sense that they would have different norms. But similarly, people in Paris are generally far more attractive and fashionable than folks in St. Louis. There is little genetically different from these people, it's just the norms that they develop in.

Most offices are already airconned in Europe. There might still be a bit of market expansion in private homes, but probably not that much - due to cost and urban landscape (old houses that are hard to retrofit for aircon). The landscape is also variegated enough that one can get relief from oppressive heating with little effort (going to seashore/lakeshore/hills).
Don't let anyone or anything stop you from traveling. I once dropped everything and took a 2 month long trip to Colombia. I wanted somewhere close, out of the country, non-Anglo, not in the Caribbean or Central America, which I judged to be too dangerous / touristy at the time. Colombia was safe and interesting. I took Spanish classes and bounced around different cities for a few months.

In the beginning it was about exploration and at the end it was about discovering my priorities in life.

The genesis of the trip came about when I started talking to someone at a language school about taking language classes. He started asking me why, then said, "just go there. You'll never get a better chance than when you're young."

He was 100% right.

Do you really care about having a beard? It sounds like you care more about fitting in with other people around you. A beard will never make or break you, forget about it, show your value through something meaningful and people will respect far more than anything that can grow on your face.
