You can’t have all the doctors paid at the 75th percentile. That’s like saying you want everyone’s children to be above average. It doesn’t make mathematical sense.

At some point someone actually has to set the rate for things. If market mechanisms aren’t working there needs to be another method.

I think that Landmark peaked in the US during the 80s-90s. The last I heard, it was growing the fastest in India and Israel. Werner Erhard did Scientology before starting est, and they never forgave him for recycling some of their stuff. And it's arguable that they were behind efforts to demonize est/Landmark, and paint it as a cult.

I do recommend it. But it's crucial to keep in mind that sharing your experience of the work, and encouraging others to participate, is an integral part of it. It's true that relationships of all sorts work better with people who have done the work. So there's some self-interest in sharing.

The courses themselves generally run from Friday evening through Sunday evening. About 12 hours per day, with breaks for lunch and dinner. Back in the day, they'd run a lot later, basically until everyone got the day's distinctions. But that's mellowed since the 90s.

For example, homework assignments involve sharing with family and coworkers, and inviting them to an evening session the following Friday. At the evening session aka graduation, guests spend some time with the main group, and then go to small introduction sessions.
No, parent just confuses "design" with "implementation", and asserts that "secure by design" (even if taken as more than a marketing slogan) implies 0 bugs. The logic is flawed, the conclusion is wrong, and the presentation is needlessly aggressive. Their comment history just confirms this.
Sure, but in addition, the really serious consequences start only 30 years later. Say we have only subtle or no immediate reaction to plastics, but in 30 years an additional third of us gets cancer.

>As for civilian items, the average income of an Afghan/Iraqi civilian is not enough to afford American product

OK, so that completely breaks the first part of traditional Marxist arguments. I will grudgingly admit, however, that the U.S. tried for many years and at great expense to improve the economic situation of average Iraqis to a point where they could afford American-made goods.

>U.S military contractors got handsomely rich off both Afghanistan and Iraq and both nations are almost exclusively importing American military equipment.

I’d 100% agree with you there. However, the military-industrial complex is a very different beast than Lenin’s theory of imperial monopoly capitalism. The M.I.C. is to me a far simpler and more boring explanation, and one which bears up better under scrutiny, than the Marxist theory of warfare which your OP postulated.

In my experience they mostly complain about the format of references not exactly matching their special standard.
From what I've seen this attitude often actually creates and reinforces this harsh reality, though.

Most of our reality is composed of humans doing things, and if you dig deep enough into why humans are doing various bad things, you'll find a lot of confused, closed up people chasing odd status markers because they need it to survive against other parties chasing odd status markers. It's an error that endlessly feeds itself, and the only escape is to cancel it somewhere - do something else.

The point is kind of moot when the people you are supposedly protecting against are of your own kind.

I'm not trying to pick a side here, and I'm sure modern PHP is fantastic with Laravel and all that. But it seems to me that the PHP-advocates are failing to understand that impressions matter a lot to developers. I wouldn't touch PHP with a ten-foot pole if I can. Not because modern PHP is terrible but that the baggage of terrible PHP is still strong in my memory, and I'm not willing the re-evaluate PHP as my choice for backend because of that. Period. That ship has sailed.

As someone trained in economics you should already be aware that everyone chilling isn’t a stable equilibrium. For example let’s say that everyone only works one day a week. Now I can double my output by working two days. So we can look at the relative productivity gains of working one extra day as a function of how many days on average everyone else works:

1 day: 100%
2 days: 50%
3 days: 33%
4 days: 25%
5 days: 20%
6 days: 16%
7 days: 0%

As you can see, the less everyone else works, the more value your extra work is. I’m not saying that the equilibrium is gonna be 7 days. But it’s not gonna be less than 4, at the very least. This is also the reason why the 20 hour work week will never catch on.

Thanks for clarifying. I was just specifying my quote above was from the article text, not a direct quote from the Pope.

FWIW, the actual quote from the Pope follows:

Even those sad cases of cutting down old growth forest won't be replaced by agriculture or industry - new trees will be planted. Hopefully they'll allow native trees to-grow instead of planting imported trees. I couldn't find details if they're doing clear cut or selective and giving time for remaining trees to multiple.
I really wish traditional news media, aka those people that are supposed to dissaminate the news, would get a grip and stop breaking the internet and their core business altogether one of these days. If you lose revenue because google shows a few sentences of the introduction your content is not worth it to readers. But no, instead of better content and easier ways to consume it, we get more clickbait and whining about fake news.

At least on the level of local newspapers in Germany it's a complete disaster for me personally. It's not even that I wouldn't want to pay people that go out and report on local happenings, it's just that I don't want to add another 10-20EUR subscription for the 1/2 articles I'd want to skim that's actually relevant content and not some made up outrage or simply agency content.

>You can't recycle the coolant as there is no efficient way to cool the coolant.

Alright, this is the crux of the problem. Yes you can, the ISS has huge radiator panels in it's shadow for thermal management. The shuttle also had radiator panels in the bay door structure, they were so crucial the vehicle had to re-enter soon after closing the doors to avoid excessive thermal buildup. This is a known solved problem. And that's on vehicles that aren't carrying any nuclear power systems, and just have to contend with solar radiative heating.
Are their systems accurate enough to identify an aircraft being 15m off the centerline of the runway? Take the incident at SFO a few years ago where an aircraft nearly landed on the taxiway - it was only detected by a pilot on the ground (on the taxi way) saying the approaching aircraft looks off course.

It’s like pretty much every other one of these market making companies. At a local level—it’s something that people can and do organize with telephones, email, and maybe calendars and spreadsheets.

I’m not sure what the advantage of having the same service exist in a bunch of cities is.

And you have the usual problem that most people prefer to use individuals they are comfortable with and have maybe been recommended by friends. Especially for something like dog walking.

Maybe there’s a market for selling dog walking business kits with software. But that’s not $300m.
Running undercover espionage operations in China - which is what it would probably take to work out what's going on, given that the government there is in on it and extremely hostile to whistleblowers - is well outside the scope of what the SEC is capable of. Even the CIA has trouble with it.

I think we have a difference in understanding of how Spaced Repetition works. I don't know the specifics of how Anki works, but what you're describing doesn't match the specifics of the system I use, so I'm guessing here.

The way you see it (as I deduce - I could be wrong) is that you get an email (or multiple emails, one per challenge) with a challenge, for which you are expected to know the response. If for simplicity we work on one challenge per email, then you get an email saying something like:

What's element 66?

You're then on your own to decide whether you know this instantly ("easy"), or with some effort ("normal") or not at all ("hard"). You respond, possibly by clicking a link in the email, possibly by replying with the answer in the email body.

Is that what you imagine?

(This is related to, but significantly different from the way my system works, so it's pure guess-work based on the clues in your response).

If that's what you're thinking, I'm not completely disinterested in creating such a system as an experiment. Do you have a list of things you'd like to memorise so we can experiment? Contact details are in my profile.
I already call it that way, but for different reasons.

My wife only drinks carbonated bottled water as she's a
germaphobe and dislikes home-carbonators (I've tried everything...), but once she became pregnant I had to start dragging her bottles up to our apartment. I became very resentful of the fact that I had to either buy and drag glass or plastic bottles up to our flat only to bring them back to the store empty.

So I started calling it plastic water as a minor display of rebellion. She doesn't care though. :(
I'm not sure how you're relating anything there to commentary on cheating...

My complaint is with interviewers and their wasteful, unfair hidden criteria. You could phrase it as a complaint that interviewers make use of filtering mechanisms that are impossible to know about without the ability to read minds. There's not necessarily anything wrong with certain filters per se, but it's important the candidate be aware what they are, as early as possible -- if it's in the job description this allows for candidate self-filtering, even.

My advice to interviewees who nevertheless have to deal with such hidden criteria isn't "just always be honest!" but "since you can't mind-read, you have to guess at the hidden criteria, sorry."

I'd suggest being honest as the default, especially if you have no good guess what the real criteria is, or if you're not even presented with anything that gives you a whiff of a hidden criteria being present. But you can be honest without also going into details about grandpa's barn incident. Sometimes you do have a good guess into the interviewer's mind, though, or at least a sense of "reading the atmosphere". (Some interviewers explicitly use hidden criteria but drop more and more hints throughout the interview to eventually reveal it, hoping the candidate notices on their own first.) It might indicate that you should answer the question with a silly meme that came to mind, instead of directly. Or hey, maybe now you realize those details about the barn would be helpful to elaborate on after all. You might also want to adjust your posture if you're getting the sense that they don't appreciate slouchers here, which would be a hidden criteria applied to the interaction itself rather than a particular question.

I wouldn't advocate misrepresenting yourself, but it's standard advice to represent yourself in the best light you can.
One question is: Why would a promising startup take a $5-20M investment from Vision Fund and not from somebody else?

If you are $10M investment in a fund of $100B you won't be getting much support or mind share from your investor. It's not just VCs shopping for companies to invest in. It's also companies thinking from whom to take the money.

We had the same problem at Justin.tv with the video servers, with the added wrinkle that every choice had the potential to meaningly affect load for an hour or more. We eventually ended up putting extremely detailed information into a central database for the load balancer so that it could consider not only server load, but also the load on all of our internal and external network links.

We also had to keep track of how many people were on the webpage for a channel when it went live so that we could preemptively replicate the video stream to enough, but not too many, servers.
In Germany there's also lots of McDonalds with chargers, some of them have already been there for 2 years or more.
I'm interested to know if the test pilot in their simulator knew this was going to happen or not. I'm thinking if they knew the risk (which this disclosure provides) they may have been more aware and have seen there was a problem.

I can't imagine a pilot not being able to spot being off course, even by a small amount, given pilots are able to land large aircraft by visual aids only (however commercial pilots don't do it often).

>How much do you think the Marshall plan accelerated the repair and growth of Europe?

I’m not sure what you expect me to say. I think the academic consensus is, “by a lot.” I think the immediate European reaction was also, “it’s great that we’ve rebuilt our own means of production with generous outside assistance, while retaining ownership and without accruing huge debts.”

I’m a little confused. What was the nefarious aspect of the Marshall Plan? Why was it bad to help Germans rebuild Volkswagen factories, in order that they might trade things Americans want for things that Germans want?
This is an absolute butchering of free will.

A person being robbed at gun point is being coerced. He is having a choice forced upon him by another person. Society, being composed of individuals all of whom do not want to be coerced has an interest in preventing coercion.

This is not true of having to work. The biological necessity of your body requiring food is not forced onto you by anybody. So nobody can be held responsible for it.

A prostitute being given the option to sell her body for money actually makes her life better, because depriving her of having to choose does not improve her life, while depriving a man of having to choose between being shot and giving up his wallet improves his life greatly.
When I told several female friends about the work they did, their response was: "Are they gay?"

It's funny. From the days of chivalry all the way to the modern patriarchy, men's behaviours have been conditioned by one overriding factor: what will impress women? I don't see that evaporating overnight. Men suppress the emotions for the simple reason that women have demonstrated a preference for men that do that, and this is simply an example of that being made explicit. You could say "this is how the patriarchy harms men!". But it wasn't men who chose it to be this way.
There's been legislative elections since and not only was turnout a little better than usual, the major traditional alliances lost a lot of seats in the european parliament to the smaller less conventional ones on both sides of the spectrum. Still a long way to go but baby steps.
Broadly speaking (for a detailed list see the US Trade Representative's report[1]) they failed to allow access to their markets or respect the rights of foreign companies.

They've shown that a nationalist nation can exploit the globalist system to its own profit, raising doubts about globalism itself and leading to the resurgence of nationalism.

I don’t believe that is accurate. Courts routinely issue gag orders.
No matter who's in charge in each moment, the West should try to convince China that it must transition to a political system like ours if they want to keep dealing with us.

Allowing China to maintain its tyrannic regime is extremely dangerous for everybody in the long run.

The change doesn't need to be abrupt and it's possible to make some assurances for people currently in power.

Not really a minor nitpick.
Is it possible that a sufficient number of people aren’t willing to pay for information if it’s available for free with zero friction, and that is why journalism is having a tough time?

Or is it an entire field of people being lazy and wanting easy money that caused it to go down the drain?

There exist “journalists” that write clickbait and content that wastes time. There are also journalists that risk their life and limb to gather and disseminate important information for society.

Clearly, it’s a difficult problem to address. The public needs to be educated enough to differentiate good journalism from bad journalism, so that they reward the good journalism and not reward the bad. The journalists need a steady source of income to feed their families, and to incentivize people to become journalists. There’s a myriad of other issues as well, but it’s not a simple “the entire news media field is a bunch of bad actors”. They’re not paid well as it is, and I don’t see many people clamoring to take on the risks that real journalists do for the money they do it for, so there must be an issue on the revenue side as well.
The bubble talk goes back further than that. Lookup The Richter Scales for a fun example.

And yes you’d have mostly been wrong about the Facebooks of the world.

The current generation of money-losing startups is a lot more problematic. And some of the questionable IPOs have already fared pretty badly.

I’d also argue though that I’m not sure most of these companies matter much in the scheme of the larger economy. And probably not even the tech sector relative to the big employers.
> Soon, everyone will enable previews.

Only on the big websites though, why would a news org bother with small or tiny news aggregators?

The small websites will have to shut down while google will get even stronger. (This happened in germany already when they introduced a very similar law)
It still remains to be seen whether news sites get more actual clicks from direct visits vs getting nothing from clicks on Google properties (via snippets/link previews and AMP). Data of the past ain't conclusive being from isolated country-specific actions whereas copyright reform is eventually implemented in all EU member states.
It may be counterproductive but in a way those publishers always held the rights to their own work. Consequently if they want to prevent Google from showing snippets they should be able to. But maybe that should be opt out, rather than opt in. I expect most of them to request Google to use snippets again before very long in any case.
I don't live in Texas in 2012, so that isn't part of my parties platform. I suppose you agree with every element of every state democrat platform ever published. Well post Jim Crow of course.
We don’t know how this plays out yet. This first step was quite predictable, but its effects on the overall news media landscape will take months to unwind. Will this increase the ad revenue for news sites because of increased clickthrough rates? Will it push them towards obscurity because their reporting is less available? Will it make no meaningful difference whatsoever?
I agree overall but "driving out of the country" shouldn't be a surprise fee (and it is often accounted for when you book your rental)
