For simple cases it is almost always a good decision to use an ORM if you don't know SQL. The question is whether and how long the ORM shoe will continue to fit. Databases are essential for many use cases so the chances are that an ORM will not always work. So decide on that basis when to learn SQL. Maybe not today, maybe not this project.

The other issue is how central
The availability of opportunity itself has diminished. Fewer and fewer opportunities are made available by those who hold the keys to the gates. Often, when one of the now fewer gates to opportunity open, much less is offered inside than was historically there and the risks to benefits to open those doors is increasing across the board.

I'd say it's too simplistic to imply people don't seek opportunity because it requires work, it's more to do with the fact the success rates are so low and the magnitude of work is so high now compared historically that most would rather seek other ways to add enjoyment to their lives and abandon the system.

That's not sustainable for our society to continue to be successful and it has to change back to more sane thresholds. Implying people are lazy is a copout to the real problem.

Capital is not underappreciated - it is hidden by owners. Because their power and wealth comes from control of a scarce, hidden resource. If everyone had access to capital, nobody would be “on top”, and that’s unacceptable to the owning classes.

Can confirm. I used to teach Computer Science at Adelaide University. One of the factors in my decision to leave academia was the appalling extent to which academic standards were being lowered to cater for international students (mostly from China) who should not have even been accepted but brought in lots of cash.
This article shows that districts that tend to vote democratic are more prosperous, and the gap is growing. However, people who are more prosperous* (income > $200k) tend to vote Republican over all. I can't explain that. If I were going to guess it would be because older people tend to have more wealth and income in America (in general) and older people sku more republican.

I've been thinking along very similar lines. This just makes more sense than the hopelessly optimistic scenarios of 'everyone giving up meat, adopting clean tech, getting along and sharing resources while we expand into space'. Ideally, this is what we want but anyone who has real-world experience dealing with people from all walks of life AND some respect for physics knows this is a LOT harder than it looks.

I believe WWIII is already happening, it's just not a typical war fought with soldiers. It's a battle of memes (unit of culture, much deeper than reddit memes) proliferated through media to divide, distract, delude the masses. Those in power intend to keep their power and are perfectly aware of the situation unfolding around the globe. They are making moves accordingly, the media doesn't know the long-con so they chalk it all up to mental illness and corruption. If they are all sociopathic, why would they reveal their plans to society? It would go against their deepest instinct for self-preservation.

Yes, the world's poorest regions will be devastated the most and there will be millions of migrants TRYING to move to America more than any other nation. By then, there will be many 'moats' in place to protect the American people. China is already moving people and capital into key regions around the globe (Suriname, next to Brazil) to capitalize on the situation as it unfolds. India will be hit particularly hard because of the amount of people in their country.

The global elite already have 'escape plans' like private islands and top-floor penthouses with guards in the lobby. Some of them care about what happens to the 'commonfolk', some of them don't. That's just the way it is.

The way to stay sane in all this is start with yourself, do what you can to be skillful and of service, build a life connected to nature, live off the land as much as possible, work remotely if possible, know how to live without tech if possible. This is all practical to me, I don't know how else to plan for 'retirement' other than this.

> Democratic districts have seen their median household income soar in a decade—from $54,000 in 2008 to $61,000 in 2018.
During that decade the US had an inflation rate between 1 and 2%, which is around $5-10k. So really there was no "soaring" at all: democrats barely manage to hold on to their wealth/lifestyle while republicans are continuously losing and worse off than the years before.

Everyone in the country is losing except for Jeff Bezos and his caste of rich capitalists who are served by the corrupt politicians of either party.

As a first-time developer promoted to manager 3 years ago, of a small team, IMO this is good advice and well written. I would add about trusting your team members and delegation, well, you get to learn what everyone can accomplish, identify weaknesses and couch when needed, but it's not instant magic. So not everything is always on track. Add that some of us have to manage and still deliver code (by choice or not) and you have the common sense and advice saying you can't do both, but need to keep up coaching, helping when things go wrong, etc.

So it's not just about following advice, real world hits just as in development estimations...

Thanks for the Rust reference, I was hoping this exists for Rust. Very useful for everyday debugging!
It's mostly gaslighting. Democrats win voters making $50K or less, Republicans win voters making $50K or more. There are a couple of small-ish inversions where Democrats do well with people making $150K-$200K and Republicans do well with people making $35K-$45K, and that gets spun out into all sorts of things it's not.

Trump's economic sweet spot, for instance, was $75K. Not coincidentally, that is the median income for a two-earner family of two white high school graduates. But calling that "the working class" really misses the point.

You are confusing two different things together.

1. Increasing/decreasing money supply. Usually buying or selling debt denominated in the nation's own currency.

2. Currency manipulation aka foreign exchange market intervention. Buying or selling foreign currency to in exchange for domestic currency. Countries can try currency manipulation to adjust balance of payments or to gain unfair competitive advantage in international trade.

Chinese central bank is free to manage their money supply without criticism.

I hope this clarified things for you.
Well, it's do it YOURTself, not yourself, sometimes humor is hard to detect ;)
>Education is overvalued, Capital is under appreciated,

In today's world in which capital appears to assume an autonomous form itself, in which every goal of civil society gradually becomes subsumed under it, this statement must be read ironically - there is no other possibility. Capital can only appear underappreciated in a world truly dominated by capital.
good catch. I divided where I should of subtracted.
This is significant because it is a company that pays very well. Not because of where it stands relative to the US average.

I'd like to know what this person actually did for work. The media tends to ambiguously use terms like "tech worker" without specifying whether they are technical or non-tech employees at tech companies.
Healthcare is not a market. There's no price transparency, often no real choice (you can't choose your employer's insurer or what drugs you need), no real ability by consumers to assess the quality, and extremely high barriers to entry.

US healthcare functions more like a horrific reverse lottery where occasionally someone is sent a bill that bankrupts them for reasons they don't understand and had no control over.

While this is just a very basic idea I put out, still, corruption is rampant everywhere anyway. I suspect it would be a net positive to have a ton of Brilliant students getting money for their projects even if half of the money are corrupted away.
Not a lot. High-speed Internet is good to have, but it does not make your farm better, productivity higher and product prices higher. You don't "digitally enhance" your manufacturing plant with faster Internet unless the speed of Internet is keeping you from achieving better productivity - most of the time, not the case, plants have all local systems and they use SCADA, not fancy screens or kubernetes.
I feel like this is stating the obvious and putting the emphasis on the exact wrong end of it.

"Oh no! Think about all the potential geniuses we are missing out on! We must be doing something wrong!"

Ok, thought about it.

My conclusion is:

"Wow, the rate of genius production has never been higher, we must really be doing something right."

Could it be better? Sure. Is it getting better? According to Factfulness: sure.

I just don't understand the ridiculous in-built assumption that we are somehow wronging society and the potential geniuses themselves by them not being in a time and a place that makes use of the quality of the substrate of those particular individuals.

Well, sorry but nature doesn't optimize for the individual, it optimizes for the whole.

You may as well get equally mad at something silly like "why doesn't everyone always roll a 6?"

We need both.

1. Stop doing it

2. Reverse it.

We can't reverse the amount of carbon without stopping our emissions. And it is important that we don't _allow_ people to hand wave one away for the other. We need at least both, we also need to track mitigations in helping the environment (trees, animals, rivers) to operate in these new regimes.
Are you really doing OLTP transactions on a table with millions of rows that require complex searches or are you doing OLAP style reporting?

I don’t think anyone would suggest using an ORM for reporting, aggregating, etc. I would even go so far as suggesting using a different type of database/table structure - a columnar store and send data to a reporting database. A reporting query over millions of rows wouldn’t be real time anyway.
So if people aren't faced with chronic illness and the fear of bankruptcy they won't have a drive to succeed and improve ghetto their lot in life? Are you seriously arguing that?

Arrest, release, repeat: How police and jails are misused
Mostly, the "mystery reason" is that self-interested voting is prevalent only among the needy and the greedy. At one end are those who feel it's necessary for their own survival (even when they're wrong or when the policies they vote for actually harm them). At the other end are the rentiers who never had any guiding principle other than self-interest. In between are the many reasonably-prosperous and mostly-urban folks who can afford to vote their conscience. When the personal effect of a policy ranges from slight benefit to slight harm, in neither case affecting one's basic quality of life or social standing, it becomes a lot easier to vote for policies that one sincerely and logically believes are best in a utilitarian sense.

What It’s Like to Be Jacked in 2019
(US centric comment) I'll add that we're making it less likely people will take risks and act on their ideas with student debt and a lack of healthcare. People can't take risks if they don't have a cushion to rely on and risk their lives (or face massive debt) if a non-trivial health concern occurs. Compounding this is a draw back of social programs to get people back on their feet if their risk turns south. I'm not advocating for paying for "slackers", but giving people a chance at least as good as what their parents had.
I gotcha. I work on a lot of user-facing stuff, so if the type is somehow wrong, I generally prefer to let the user know, which is a lot easier with models.

> I've heard several stories now, from people in both what you'd call the "traditional automotive" space and the "mobility technology" world, about Tesla veterans applying for jobs and trying to impress the interviewer with tales of their heroic exploits. What these products of Tesla's tumultuous and hero-worshiping culture don't realize is that outside of Tesla, the entire goal of large, complex manufacturing, supply chain and service operations is to avoid heroism.

So true. I've been on jobs where people get rewarded for being heroes, and people who get the job done get ignored. I don't want to waste time on a job that requires heroes anymore. Where other people see heroes, I see a disorganized mess.
You don’t understand the difference between:

The post I was replying to was talking about wealth transfer from people to shareholders. Profit is the proper measure of that.

As to cost savings, you can’t use insurance industry revenue because that includes money spent on services. And a lot of the “paper shuffling” does need to exist under single payer. Most universal healthcare systems aren’t nationalized systems like the UK NHS. Germany for example has mandatory membership in Public health insurance organizations for those making under 60,000 euro. There are 100+ of those. Then 15% of the population has private health insurance. Care providers are mostly private. So there is still medical billing that needs to be done. Most EU countries are similar in that regard, and unlike the UK NHS.

As to marketing, now you’re talking about a drop in the bucket. Pharma industry advertising adds up to just $6 billion per year.

Doesn't help that prop 47 in California makes thefts under $1,000 a misdemeanor, so if you get caught stealing them you just get a slap on the wrist.

Oh please. This old chestnut? If the police won't enforce misdemeanors that's on them, not Prop 47. Misdemeanors can see sentences of up to just under a year which should provide you plenty of time to punish a thief. Do we really need life sentences for stealing catalytic converters?

Meanwhile NAPA lists one cat for a 2013 Prius at about $1000 and the other one at about $500. And those are the cheapie ones that aren't legal to install in California/NY. A pair of legit cats that're CARB certified (likely only available through Toyota proper) is going to be even further into felony territory. To be clear, you may be able to get a legit set installed for less than $1,000 (and you could have your friend's uncle install a used one on the sly for cheap I'm sure), but I wouldn't consider that typical and I doubt the court would bat an eye at charging your typical catcon theft as a felony.

IOW Prop. 47 is not behind the uptick in crime.
