Any insight you might give on this would be super. Right now it is just a long and tedious process.
>Great childcare and elder care is very expensive

It's hard even to find a way to buy "Great childcare and elder care". Mostly you end up paying as much as such a thing should cost but the money just goes to people who "administer" minimum wage workers delivering care that is mediocre at best.
Nationalism bad!

Americans tend to go into massive medical debt, still they can have that credit extended to them because over their careers they’ll make more than 84,000 and probably pay it off if they live.

Collecting part of that amount is still profitable because there’s no basis in the actual cost of treatment rendered.

Compare to someone in (poor country) who is lucky to collect a few hundred dollars a year, no one will ever extend that person 84,000 in debt, because they don’t have any chance of making that amount over the course of their entire career.

Ability to pay is significantly different from “savings.”

The $400 emergency expense number is about having savings (extra money in the bank) which is really a complicated issue relating to financial literacy and debt to income ratios. You could have someone making 6 figures living in an expensive house, driving a nice car, who can’t come up with $400 because he’s overextended himself. It’s a question of liquidity rather than ability to pay. If his wages get garnished, maybe he loses the house and has to sell the car, but the medicine still gets paid for.

So, what I read so far is that he might've died on Jan 8th instead of 7th, even though everywhere else they still refer to 7th.

And that there were many parties interested in going through Tesla's seized belongings, to find out if there is anything useful in them, but Edgar Hoover always answered with the same answer, saying that the FBI didn't take anything, but the Office of Alien Property did. Then the OoAP anwered with "never had custody, nor has vested, any property of Nikola Tesla".

Interesting. Seems like some people were identifying themselves as the FBI and took things from Tesla's place? But honestly, this is a lot to take in, so who knows what other information I can come across.
Honestly it's more of a full-time job than just a skill.

The long way: A master's degree or PhD in Human Computer Interaction or similar field, frequently doing things like usability testing, user interviews, statistical analysis, thematic analysis etc. Not joking, this is what I'm currently doing. Coming from practicing UX in industry, I thought I wouldn't learn much from academia, but it's been eye-opening.

The short way: Read About Face - Alan Cooper, then try and do some of the techniques in there. It may seem excessively detailed, but frankly it only covers a small portion of techniques that UX researchers actually use. This is really quite a shortcut but it will get you started.
This is less of a problem now, as wordpress now auto-updates by default.

> To the downvoters: can you speak about how you would address the danger? Let’s have a conversation.

Your concern seems to be about bad actors. Yet you also mention how easy and cheap drones are to build. There's thousands of online tutorials showing how to build them for extremely cheap. So how does this solution address the problem of bad actors? Bad actors are just not going to install the identification methods or remove them from commercial bought drones.

With a radio based system the only way you have to track these people down is arrays of radios to track signals (automated fox hunting). But that doesn't scale well. Tracking drones is really a difficult problem.

So considering that, what does this do other than harm good actors? Most of the problems are really uninformed actors. Punishing people doesn't resolve the issue of uninformed actors because you are being reactionary and not proactive, meaning the damage is done.

I also find it ridiculous that drones are being regulated more than private aircraft. Drones have such a lower potential for harm.

All these blanket treatments and tests just paper over the fact that there are wide impacting subpopulations with poor health in our populous driving the need for these things in the first place.

Sure, some portion of people in distress contribute overall very disproportionately to health care cost. This includes people who make poor health choices (over-consumption of sugary beverages, unhealthy drug and similar things), people who are homeless and people who chronic health problems (through work-related injuries, random chance or actual poor decisions).

There seem to be two reaction: "OK, then just don't allow them health care, problem solved" or "we need to prevent people from getting into that position in the first place."

I would say the first reaction is counter-productive, poorly thought-through and morally indefensible. Obviously, I think the second approach is crucial (obviously requiring quite a bit of effort). The first position is very common, however and it's kind of sad, for both the people who think this way but much more for the consequence.

I think the only reason people jump to the first position is: A. The situation is presented in isolation and these people aren't considering the consequences. B. There's a human tendency to jump to a belief without fully exploring the evidence. C. Defending a belief often just makes the defender more defensive, especially since changing would make them admit they holding a fairly cruel and immoral position.

I think the article from a couple days ago about human belief formation is very relevant for this discussion.

Your friend's problems are largely about control and typing. They may be able to use one arm, but it may tire fast. Consider alternative mice, including trackballs. A keyboard if possible, perhaps a tablet with keyguards. If not, some kind of switch control for an onscreen keyboard: it will be slow but maybe more useful. One Switch Mouse, above. Built-in features, like Windows here:

Nothing to do with communism. Capitalist Thailand has thirty year limits on property ownership with the exemption of condo buildings that are majority owned by Thai citizens.

Hell even Singapore limits property ownership of foreigners.
That kind of thing's basically the norm among the rich, no matter where they live. Not really surprising that the non-rich do the same thing when they go somewhere that makes them, relative to the locals, rich.
The process has changed since Lynch left (actually it changed ~the week he left Google). For promotions up to L5, the decision is made by people within your org, who should have context on whether you were working on the right things or not.

By L6+ (even as an IC), part of your job is to make decisions that are good for the organization, so having to justify them is not unreasonable.
I’d imagine if they have 55 million to give away then they can afford the taxes on the rest. Nothing about this method of donation implies the donor is a criminal.

Declining the receipts makes the donations truly anonymous which is pretty cool. I think it was a novel idea and novel execution and obviously did a lot of good.

I'm pretty convinced that a substantial percentage of drivers under 30 have no idea where anything is. Plus, judging by how people drive and make erratic last moment lane changes/exits, have reduced situational awareness due to being over reliant on gps or being diverted while driving.

> Relative wealth buys you status, position

Some of this can't really be fixed: the top 10% of status only has room for 10% of the people, by definition. The pecking order, by definition, orders people.

> and power in society.

This seems like a better focus. How much extra power you gain by being on top varies a great deal between different societies (including earlier and later versions of any one country). This seems like the relevant variable.

I'm not sure that this inequality of power is very well measured by monetary inequality. There is some correlation, because power can usually be turned into material comfort. But I'm not sure how much higher taxes or whatever remedy like that is proposed for moving money around, will move power around.

> the best guarantor of social and political power is to be necessary

I hear what you're saying, roughly about changes in the last 50 years in western countries. But it is also easy to think of large classes of absolutely necessary workers who had very little power, in many places and times. So I'm not sure that that's enough.

Weird, the breakout pin between IO21 and IO19 is silkscreened GND, but the label says NC, not connected. The dev board datasheet[0] says that pin is not connected, which would be a fun trap for someone who tried to use that pin as a ground, but a different schematic on the site says it's tied to module ground. They don't seem to have a PDF of the actual PCB anywhere I can find.

A more traditional approach to the calendar might have January 1st on the same day of the week every year, with a variable period of holidays at the end of the year that aren't part of the normal week system.

If we did things that way, the issue of "where should we start week 1?" couldn't even arise.
"It mostly worked for the most common test cases, but we abandoned this approach for similar reasons mentioned in the article -- the edge case limitations became more and more frustrating over time."

Aren't there childcare and elder care agencies that aim at families of different socioeconomic levels? I guess that the rich hire expensive nannies at expensive agencies.

I agree there’s a sourcing/matching problem that leads the administrators in these markets to capture a disproportionately large share of any value premiums paid.
This looks great. Will definitely try it with my son.

The first part is about 'counting', or maybe recognising a count without counting (I didn't count the cats 1-2-3, because I can instantly recognise 3 of something).

If you're interested in exploring this further, the book How to Teach your Baby Math, by Glenn Doman, recommends teaching babies/toddlers numbers by showing them cards with dots on them, one at a time, whilst saying aloud the number of dots.

Instead of making your own cards and using your own voice, you can run this web app and use your smartphone and thumb.

https://dots.twilam.com/

The initial screen is blank. Tap anywhere on the screen to show some dots and hear the number. After about a second, the screen will again be blank, ready for you to tap again.

this comment is great because it is a good faith argument that reveals how blind many people are to the fact that theyve outsourced all their moral thinking to money. the things you are scared of all exist now. they are bad in large part because wealth distribution is historically bad. its amazing how readily you dismiss your own ability to identify good and bad things. you really dont think you could have figured out slavery was bad back in the day?
It's the birthday present I've been waiting years for.
Do you think that the age range of 2-4 implies that it becomes appropriate exactly on their second birthday, and becomes no longer appropriate right on their fifth?

I would assume that the range has blurry boundaries. And yes, I think it would shift it lower if you remove the counting element. I have no doubt that my own daughter, when aged 2.5 years old, would have struggled with it a lot more with the counting, than without. When she was 4.5 years old, she would have been a lot more bored with it if it didn't have the counting.

I suppose there are other ways of putting it as well. I used "dumbed down" first, but that could be interpreted badly, like "appropriate for dumber kids", when I really mean "younger".

But the point remains, you make it less challenging, make it take less cognitive effort, decrease its learning benefit, etc if you simplify it by removing the need to count and make it so the child only has to touch objects.

- Mentor 3 to 5 people or startups

- Become even better at cooking

- Continue growing the team and hire more amazing new people

You can build arch-specific, single file binaries, but I believe the bulk of the executable is a zip file with the .net core runtime and all of your platform agnostic assemblies, so it's not exactly native like you're thinking of
I was thinking along the same lines when the systems of linear equations came up. The difficulty is that the variables are 0-1 while the equations are over the integers. So this is not quite as simple as solving a system over F_2, but is instead feasibility testing of an IP with 0-1 variables and a 0-1 matrix.

I wonder if solving the LP-relaxation might lead to a rounding based approach.
Money certainly has it's drawbacks, but it does not have any kind of central authority that values it. It's the most distributed system there is.

> Just a lot of people don’t like that system much

Any other system would be more centralized, and even more open to abuse.

As they say: "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others."

It's the same with money.

Those things have a completely different problem: Those benefiting from them are not those paying for them.

> The natural solution to inequality is to disenfranchise the wealthy, which doesn't put food on the table

To use an example from the leftmost mainstream politicians in the United States, a current proposal is to enact a wealth tax on fortunes over $X million to fund a larger social safety net.

You can argue that ideologically the focus should be on standards of living, not on inequality, but realistically a wealth tax fulfills both.

I believe that it may well become an existential crisis for western cultures that guys are conditioned by advertisements to expect an attractive girlfriend in exchange for being successful at work, but in reality that rarely works out.

On the one side, that leads to men who feel like they deserve an attractive girlfriend and take evil methods for acquiring one.

On the other side, there's a booming industry in the US and Europe that teaches rich single white dudes how to be a decent enough human being for long enough to go on a normal date with a normal girl.

But for the guy, after they have committed most of their youth to financial success in the hopes that it will lead to a mate, switching course later on will be very painful. And lots of frustrated overly horny dudes might destabilize the country.
The worst thing is (ignoring the irony of sticking to 'imperial' measures, as in old British empire measures), US imperial measures are different to imperial measures elsewhere.

At least with the metric system there's no ambiguity, and it's base10 so easier to calculate, and the orders of magnitude make sense. And they also translate; a litre of water is functionally equivalent to a kilogram in weight.
I think it's more useful to think of "generics" as applying to type systems that allow abstraction over types. C and Go crucially don't allow you to define a function that, say, appends an element of type T to an array of T. That's where things start to get complicated. C and Go don't have a restricted version of that [1] - they just don't have it at all.

Okay. I think I better understand what you're saying.

Reading the wikipedia entry on capitalism was a nice refresher. I am not an economist, so interpret as you wish: These farmers are not wage laborers. So capitalism doesn't apply. (Doubly so for sharecroppers, bonded labor, slaves. Obviously.)

My suggestion is in specific response to the observation that a financial fix would be impractical. I agree. So my proposal is to leverage Pakistan's Muslim cultural heritage. Jubilee's are part of the Abrahamic tradition, spanning Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. So maybe it'd find more traction where capitalism has not.
