E.g I don’t see why I should take a pay cut moving from the US to the EU. Looking at Basecamp, they give everyone the US salary and they arrange their culture around remote work that way.

Note how it doesn’t even work this way between countries, through the ‘most favoured nation’ laws.

Globalization makes this more likely. Before globalization there were manufacturers distributed all over serving different markets. Now there are global monopolies on production (for particular drugs), which makes production very vulnerable to supply chain disruption.

This model of making incremental progress still exists, it's called research. Startups couldnt be further from the optimal tools to solve those kinds of problems. In my mind, startups are for problems that can be solved by plugging mature tech A into less mature tech B and turning the crank. If someone's first priority is to make the world a better place and expand human knowledge, they should stay away from the business world.
My mother is an OB/GYN, that's where I get the 1 in 400 rate from. Quick googling will tell you that the identical twin rate is 3 per thousand ( https://www.verywellfamily.com/identical-twins-2447126 ) or 4 per thousand ( https://twinsmagazine.com/incidence-of-twins-by-twin-type/ ), or half the rate of fraternal twins (the first link again, but this is false -- the rate of fraternal twinning depends on the parents' race, but the rate of identical twinning doesn't).

Interesting article, but what point are you making by posting it without comment? It doesn't confirm airborne transmission, unless that is implied by background knowledge I'm missing (?).

Indeed. If you have 20 to 30 people that you love or care about a 2% mortality rate means that there is about a 50% chance at least one of them will die.

If you had a convenient time machine and gathered up say, a group Catholics from today, a group from 100 years ago, and a group from 1000 years ago, you'd have three groups of people with radically different beliefs. They might even disagree with the idea they followed the same religion.

Part of what makes religions last is bending to the changing times. A lot of the ones that didn't have faded away.

Primarily death was due to bacterial pneumonia, the cytokine storm likely accelerating the deterioration of the lungs. That particularly viral strain may have been more dangerous, but overall the current pandemic is comparable in death rates.

It would seem during the Spanish flu your best chance of survival was being in a location where strict quarantine and travel restrictions were imposed so the health system was able to cope with those who did contract the virus.

The places with the highest fatality rates were those with poor or non-existent health services or where people didn't seek medical assistance.

The mortality rate in the US was around 0.5%, <1% in East Asia, but 5% in India and as high as 20% in some Pacific nations. Iran's current Covid-19 mortality rate is quite comparable to the Spanish Flu around 14%.

I don't think it's survivorship bias because the same would apply to any number of other types of organisations.

Also, there's a simple explanation which almost bothers me to point out because I think anyone with any sense of the greater good would see it immediately even if they were not faithful themselves; 'Religious' folks at least of the common era, tend to have faith in something much greater, and enduring than themselves, and so the 'hard work' they might put into building the Cathedral at Koln which took like 700 years makes easy sense, because it's there for future generations to see, be inspired by, enjoy the fruits of. That's not exactly a 'benefit' to someone who wants to be 'rich now', but it's a benefit to those who believe in the future. Although I guess there's still an ego play whereby some people think they can project their fame well into the future no doubt.

And FYI there really were not that-that many competing religions post-common era.

Note how 'bar' and/or 'brewery' (and eatery) tends to be the other 'longest lived'.

Well, every town needs a pub, the one already there is probably good enough. A pub isn't going to attract the competitive afflictions of the nobility or be destroyed by a conquering dude bent on making sure there's no uprising. They're almost the 'original brand' as well. Finally, some of them were taken on by Monks (thank you Belgium!) which gives them another bit of longevity consistency.

The other entity not mentioned are noble households. Queen Elizabeth is actually a descendant of pre-Norman kings even. I think it's actually direct (though not direct of all precedent kings as there was some bouncing around, but all around the same rough lineage). I don't know off the top of my head the true antiquity of some households, but it's pretty far back in many cases.

To me the map also hints that successful civilisations have a lot of consistency and continuity ....
That and relative velocity between objects can greatly effect what year they would consider the event happening at in their "past" or "future".
Reality is more important than technical purity. CSS styles and HTML structure are not separate concerns but tightly integrated in most projects.

Using Tailwind (or other atomic css frameworks) makes it easy to reason about styling while staying completely inside HTML during editing. Within a few days, you quickly memorize all the names and can build complex visuals while also benefiting from the well-designed default sizes and options.
The biggest "deep problem"-type leaps in the past few decades have been due to innovations in technological infrastructure: the advent of the internet, GPS, and smartphone for example. All three innovations benefited from the positive externalities of government funding, as well as routine R&D and large corporations. The entities that collectively solved those hard problems only captured a fraction of the profits/benefits of their innovations.

The quickest route to success for a "hard problem" startup is to see the obvious Next Big Thing that is still in early adoption phases, and find the best way to translate it to the broader market. I know, that's not solving a hard problem in the same sense as the OP, but I think it's an underrated strategy with a quicker feedback loop and higher likelihood of success.

What's the Next Big Thing? One of them is AR combined with AI, cloud-computing, and 5G for real-time rendering of 3D objects. That will enable so many incredible things. Imagine the most profitable possibilities, for software, peripherals, physical objects that play a part in the new physical-digital realm, etc...and start hacking now. By the time AR devices are mainstream, you'll be ready to profit immensely while everyone else is scrambling to learn the fundamentals of AR.

VR is fairly mediocre right now. Of course, you know it will get better. However, do you think you correctly predict the magnitude and speed of that change? It's fairly likely that VR will be very, very good in the next ten years. If you're ready for that scenario, you can strike gold.

Self-driving cars are another Next Big Thing. Right now all the attention is on Velodyne, Waymo, etc...and those are promising companies. However, there's plenty of room for startups in that space. Anticipate how self-driving cars will change the world, and profit off of that change. That can make you rich.

I'd rather ride the tsunami of new technologies than try to capture the energy from late-stage ambient tidal waves (such as making another camera app, or a niche ERP tool for enterprise). On the other side of the spectrum, it's noble to try to invent the Next Big Thing yourself, but the odds are against you even if you're extremely smart. You might be just as likely to stumble into the Next Big Thing doing routine work at a big company.
Trust me, I know. I don't dunk on IBM Cloud gratuitously; I was an employee at IBM Cloud (not in IBM Cloud, one of the product offerings) for five months last year. It took the entirety of that five months to get a VMware cluster up and running and the very generous help of a customer-facing consulting team that took pity on us to make it actually work. There are the pieces to make a completely adequate experience--by which I mean "drives me less crazy than Azure"--but I don't see any path forward towards achieving it under the current management.

How does that narrative apply to the example we are discussing in this thread - r/wallstreetbets?

All the objectionable language used there is self-applied. The members of that community call themselves gay, autist, etc. Are they trying to persecute themselves, and evading social standards by calling it comedy?
Hopefully you are in a better situation now. For anyone who is currently homeless, but wants to be counted, the census bureau has the following plans:

March 30, 2020: Counting people who are in shelters.

March 31, 2020: Counting people at soup kitchens and mobile food vans.

April 1, 2020: Counting people in non-sheltered, outdoor
locations, such as tent encampments and on the streets.

Never heard of it before, but makes general sense. I've not tried to frame things in that venn diagram, but I've done pros/cons lists. The one that I'm not sure on is "happy." I don't look at happiness as something extrinsic - things, people, etc don't make one happy. Happy is an outlook, a choice. A whole post can be written on happiness. My tl;dr is that older folks who describe themselves as happy say it is a choice. There are rich and able bodied people who are miserable. There are poor and disabled people who are happy. Happy is the lens through which you use to view life.

My goal with any decision is to make the "best" decision I can given the information I have, and if I do so, I have no reason to ever regret any choice I've made. This diagram you bring up is just a way to help someone figure out what "best" means. I prioritize family well being, personal well being, financial health, and then community. I'm sure there are some things I'm not considering right now as this is all off the top of my head.

Examples of not regretting choices. I pulled out some stocks that later doubled in value. I technically missed out on literally hundreds of thousands of dollars. I don't sweat it at all. I made the best choice given the info I had. The stocks could have gone down too. I've made bad purchases, I've said the wrong things, I've made mistakes at work, I took the wrong classes, I've hurt myself, I've set myself backwards months or years on health or projects. I've done lots of things that many others would regret. I don't regret any of it because I made the best decisions I could at the time given the information I had. This is not to say I don't have a few things I would have liked to have worked out differently, but I do not dwell on things I cannot change. I link this also to worrying: if you can't do anything about something, don't worry. If you can, then do (or don't), and don't worry.

> you have to produce your draft registration number in order to apply

Not true. What you actually have to do is sign a form declaring that you are or aren't registered with Selective Service, and if not a brief reason why, which is the same information-gathering requirement for most or all federal jobs.

You can actually see the full set of paperwork with PDF forms here: https://www.census.gov/about/census-careers/new_emp.html The main one is the Declaration for Federal Employment, which is the generic form that everybody who ever wants to work for the government in any capacity has to fill out.

Yours is more amusing than mine, but...

I just remember that (possessive) pronouns don't have apostrophes. "My", "your", "his", "her", "their", and "our" don't have apostrophes, so why would "its"?

Meanwhile, contractions do have apostrophes. "Haven't", "should've", "that's", "you're", and "I'll" have apostrophes, so "it's" (meaning "it is" or "it has") should too.
I have applied twice and got given feedback both times.

It wasn't an Empire until well into the Enlightenment. England was not really important at all for the longest time.

The SSPL seems like the ideal solution, and very in the spirit of copyleft. I find it unfortunate that the OSI is treated as the only determiner of “what open source is” and that they have failed to accept SSPL.

> I think the longevity of religious organizations points the way towards how the human race can plan and advance with projects that cannot be completed in a single lifetime.

But there is no indication of a continuity of aims among those organizations - they just continue to exist over long periods of time. There was a silly meme going around a while back about how the Catholic church "thinks in centuries, not decades". But that is clearly not the case, considering the Catholic church contradicts or overrides its own stances, even ones it viewed as very important at the time, from centuries ago.

What good is having an ultra long lasting organization for long term projects, if someone who comes into power 100 years later may have exactly the opposite viewpoint on the project as the initiator?

I don't have hard data on this, but judging from hundreds, if not thousands, of comments I've read throughout the internet, the misdiagnosis of autoimmune and immune-related diseases as depression is extremely common, so common in fact that I think it will be considered a medical scandal in the future, just like lobotomy it is considered today. The diagnosis of "depression", that doctors seem to be giving away so easily, could be more readily explainable as sickness behaviour[1].

Even if vaping were 100% risk free (which I doubt) I think it's certainly better that we don't get kids addicted to nicotine (or any substance). The misinformation doesn't help things though, if kids are going to vape/smoke I'd much rather see them take up nicotine free varieties, I'm not sure why a non-smoker would take up the nicotine ones at all, maybe because companies like juul don't sell them. As someone silly enough to take up smoking as a teenager I think a non-nicotine variety would have had a huge change on my life.

I've seen some strange reactions from family about my vaping (which I've used to cut down smoking significantly). The hypocrisy award goes to my sister claiming it was dangerous and targeted at kids (due to the flavors), she said this while downing an alcopop drink and running one of those essential oil vapour machines in the house.
I'm not sure it matters if, long ago, many religions were short lived. All that means is that over the millennia religions have evolved into much longer-lived entities, while corporations have not. Meaning they still present a useful case study for institutions capable of outliving a few short human life spans. And even then, looking at many dead religions (Greek, Roman, for example) they still held sway for hundreds of years, much longer than a typical corporation.

Inflammation is an immune response, so it is required to keep foreign agents from spreading, essentially. My understanding is that immune cells can become damaged, when this happens they malfunction and inflame the system when it doesn't need to be inflamed.
We're talking about teenagers using and becoming addicted to nicotine. Nicotine is completely inessential to life. Nicotine addicts (smokers or vapers) don't show any benefit in life outcome from it. All it does is put a drain on their finances just to make them feel better every time they experience cravings, cravings which don't exist in non-addicts.
