I don't see how that refutes my point. Also, while I stand by my post, I wouldn't call it an analysis. They're example scenarios to illustrate reporting bias.

So to your comment about meeting a spouse online, or at college, etc. I don't think we're getting accurate information on outcomes.

Hm, put it this way: If someone has a hope of meeting a spouse through a particular venue, invest in it, and it doesn't work out, can we count on them report the failure? So when an analysis actually does happen, we have everything ready to see?

1 oz. of gold doesn't change from day to day, rather, only people's opinion of it changes. In that sense, is there anything you can think of that people would want as much or more in the future than they do today? I can think of maybe 1 thing, sex, but I don't even want to begin to imagine how a system like that would work haha.

Ultimately I agree that fiat currency is a necessary evil because of the ability to expand with the economy.
From my understanding, software tech companies were the first companies to have near $0 marginal cost customers. Generally, I don't think people refer to GE, Boeing, any energy company or any auto company as "tech" companies. These companies develop significant technology.

Tech seems to be branding for modernism, software, and rapid low-cost expansion. Lots of businesses are scalable in some sense. There are a lot of MacDonalds out there. I would say the primary difference is adding a new customer costs virtually nothing. This seems to be a relatively unique property of software companies.
Obviously only the "blue" states want this change. Fortunately there are more "red" states than blue states, so the original purpose of the electoral collage, as created by the founding fathers, will be preserved. Otherwise we would be in "tyranny of the majority" mode, which we are anyway, but at least not with regard to presidential elections.

Every time I see an article claiming that someone is building some “decentralized” system to make censorship harder I wonder if anyone of those people even understands how the internet is censored at scale in places like China.

For the censorship we have in the west e.g. blacklisting torrent sites a non-ISP DNS and or CDN already solve that problem, for anything beyond that nothing would help.
I'm curious what the relation between child-rearing and balding might be, if any. The old-wives tale is that men needed to be evolutionarily "pushed" to settle down, and actually take care of their kids. I would think a drop in testosterone would actually have the reverse effect though, and reduce balding for those susceptible to dht.

> The correct place to protest is when the university sends you your tuition bill or when they decline you admission.

Your "protest" over a (1) tuition bill or (2) admissions rejection is not going to matter. You'll be sent to collections in the case of (1) or ignored in the case of (2).

Publicly funded universities should contribute _something_ back to the public. Generally it's fucking football or basketball (assuming you pay for the right TV service).

You are barking up the wrong tree.

I think that'd definitely wrong.

Some kinds of coding do benefit from lack of interruption, so that's can be an argument for very focused work. But one way coding is different than, say, factory work or service work, is that our errors accumulate. It takes just seconds to put a bug in, but hours or days to take it out again. So anybody working long enough to get tired will very quickly hit diminishing returns. There's a nice presentation on this from a while back: http://www.lostgarden.com/2008/09/rules-of-productivity-pres...

I also have come to be suspicious of the "hyperfocus for many hours to get large amounts of state into my head" approach to coding. Code I have to be extremely clever to write usually ends up being a giant pain in the ass to maintain. These days I think it's better to use things like unit tests, pair programming, and very frequent releases to get things done.

This article isn't about office workers. It's about workers. Laborers are doing 8+ hour days, too, and they would not be equally productive in half the time. There's a reason it tends to pay by the hour.

Let's compare apples to apples. Office jobs didn't exist in the medieval period, but labor jobs still exist today.
> So by that logic if Uber ever does migrate completely to a self-driving taxi system, it is no longer a tech company.

That seems fair to say. If Uber transitions to self-driving taxis the whole business model will be radically different. They'll have to employ hordes of mechanics, and lease huge garages to store vehicles and run repair bays. They'll have massive capital expenses, a complex supply chain to manage, and a large distributed and probably unionized workforce to negotiate with. Their geographic distribution, legal exposure, exposure to economic shifts like tariffs, reliance on capital markets, number of employees, etc... will all be radically different. It seems fairly obvious to say that pre-self-driving and hypothetical post-self-driving Uber are totally different kinds of companies.
I've always felt very child-focused by that point and working becomes more difficult. I've moved towards moving my work schedule around my kids rather than the other way around because I get very unhappy prioritizing work first.

So, without enough time with my kids, my abilities as a programmer absolutely plummet. I wake up early and work, spend time with my toddler, then finish work while he naps and when his mom is home.

> I made no such assumption.

You literally wrote "all else equal" in your comment.

> pull runner speeds from any distribution

Not true. If I pick a distribution of elite women and non-athlete men, all of the top finishers will be women. You're assuming speeds are normally distributed; they are not.

Where is this data that you're citing here? It doesn't line up with any data I've seen, nor with my extensive experience in amateur racing. Most races are won by the same small group of elite runners. The size of the field is immaterial as the majority of racers have no chance of winning.

Normalizing for population size might make sense if you actually had to beat everyone independently. Fortunately, you're only racing the person in first so everyone else can be safely ignored.

Put another way, if Michael Phelps is racing he's going to win. You can only win by beating him, the rest of the field doesn't matter.

No, that is how it affects your status.

In every society, half the people are at or below average status, because math. That can never change.

And even those in today's poorest countries have better material standard than preindustrial people.

My kid doesn't nap and sleeps very short.

My productivity took a nose dive from the quite extreme sleep deprivation. Sleeping 3-4h for months is bad for your mind.
Oh yes, and how.

You're so sleep starved you program like a turkey and have to try and do mundane, low risk things for much of the day. Simpler fixes, documentation, clean up technical debt in test cases etc etc. Limit tricky things for the morning after you've warmed up and keep that burst short. But this is of course from birth until n months.

I'm guessing the lifestyle changes are going to have an effect that is large and the effects discussed here, while they may indeed be statistically signficant (who knows?),
are going to have an effect so incredibly small by comparison that they really aren't worth considering. But that's pure prejudice on my part - we'll see if there's any data capable of rejecting that hypothesis.

The changes to your sleep are huge. Now if you've had twins... Yeah.
Let's agree to disagree. I actually think big alarming changes are coming (and have already happened). I'm just a Canuck though, and not out to convince anyone. I'm really fascinated with the political changes I see happening (or think I see happening at least).
No, politicians would not need to visit California because the way in which the electoral college is being eliminated is by keeping it intact, but forcing the state electors to follow the federal trend instead of the local one. The result will be ALL of California's electors going "blue" regardless of how the individual people vote. If we figured out a way of actually eliminating the electoral college, then it's entirely possible that a presidential election would result in no candidate winning more than 50% of the popular vote, and there would need to be some way to conduct a run-off election. If this scenario had unfolded in the 1992 election, Bush would have won instead of Clinton.
Based on the replies, I jokingly conclude that the increase in gray and white matter during these baby phases is to handle the cognitive dysfunction of sleep deprivation.

I wonder if sleep deprivation is related to raising children pre industrial era. It seems logical but I don't know much on this topic. :)

Maybe? It depends on whether that extra income makes people happier. I know people struggling to get buy on $4-500k/year. And I know people who live happily on a much smaller amount.

For me, the marginal value of a dollar diminishes pretty quickly, so the extra effort typical of the American schedule is definitely not worth it to me.

I'm not sure that is true.

Firstly, what are you working in exchange for? Are you performing some kind of useful work for someone else, receiving nothing in exchange then going and being a hunter gatherer for some reason? Probably not.

>You didn't work for a few hours then order food for dinner

Money has existed for a very long time so purchasing food ready to eat isn't so far fetched assuming your life took you near a non-trivial population center. Bartering goods like food, clothing etc has existed for even longer.

>You probably worked a few hours, then spent the next many hours either harvesting and/or creating all the requirements for life. Maybe you spent 2 hours hunting a deer, then an hour creating clothing, then an hour cooking, then an hour mending the hole in your roof, etc.

It reads as if you are assuming that a given individual is going to have to do everything, which doesn't seem to have been the norm for most humans. Most people didn't live alone. Instead of doing all of that maybe you spent 2 hours hunting a deer. Meanwhile someone else created clothing, someone else cooked, someone else mended the roof.

Its also worth noting that all of these jobs have a very well defined point of being done. It doesn't matter if it takes you 2 hours or 20 minutes to acquire food. Once you have as much as can reasonably be consumed before it goes bad you are done. If you catch a deer within 30 minutes you are done. If someone else did well fishing then there is no value in going hunting at all.

Umm, I've never worked in a startup, but if I do, a huge motivation would be make money. Risk is startup failing, not it getting acquired for good money. In the end, if all I'm getting is standard RSUs and salary bump, I might as well will join the established company at first place. I understand some people really do love to work for startups, but I think many don't and regardless potential to make money much more than standard job in future is always a motivation.

Seems like Apple’s support article was written with a particularly fussy cardholder in mind.

This isn’t some failing of the Apple Card specifically. All credit cards can be stained by leather and denim. People just don’t usually care at all. And most people probably won’t care with this card either.

But I’m sure some will, so this support article exists.
The favoured few probably will, but it’s all incredibly shady and a big popularity contest. A full recap like you describe would be risky legally, but there are lots of ways to make sure money flows to the right hands. The equity isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
I suspect you're trying to solve the wrong problem: figure out how to deliver content at connection speeds these underserved areas can sustain. Not DSL, 4G, 3G...but GPRS/CDPD bandwidths (circa 56K-384Kbps). Dictionaries & textbooks can be delivered as text (or slightly more overhead, Unicode/UTF-x for multilingual), encyclopedias/wikis slimmed down, images downsized, many instructional videos can be delivered as something much less than 420p, etc, etc. More...you shouldn't need 2MB of JS to read the internet equivalent of the newspaper. Proxies/Gateways can translate. Make it efficient for people to access information at speeds that are accessible and affordable to their circumstance without the glitz/useless eyecandy and you could change the world.

Oh...you'll have to deal with all the folks claiming life-as-we-know-it-will-end if they can't deliver a dozen or two multiMB ads and gobs of clickbait to those 2.5B people, whether the users can afford to receive them or not. That's probably what'll kill the idea.
Weird. YouTube had a messaging feature?
Lol every time a piece like this gets posted some 'experts' come out of the woodwork and go like 'but what if women actually liked having low-paying low-status jobs though? Something something population differences something genetics something evolution blah blah.' (Note that none of these people are in fact evolutionary biologists) It's like a broken record, despite the enormous literature accounting for sexist biases in hiring, promoting, rating performance, evaluating stereotypes, etc. At this point I'm left to wonder if any of these people are arguing in good faith.
Well, there's a potential "easy" way of solving this: making votes in the electoral college proportional to how the electorate voted in the state
