I think the Danish version of this, "E-boks", have been mandated for some years and it mostly works fine. There are a few issues now and then and it is difficult for the older population but I think that it overall have worked fine. And by far most people agree with it here.

> And secondly, the author points she is "upper class"? How can upper class family or individual ever need to borrow loans and also not have assets?

Because student loans, at most points, have has extremely favorable rates at initiation (substantially below, e.g., long-run average S&P 500 returns), an upper or middle class family might well choose to take them to maximize net expected returns.

If that family then experienced financial ruin for some reason, they might be left with the debt without any longer being upper/middle class (or, an individual who becomes cutoff from the family and it's assets might be in similar straits to what would happen has the family bien ruined.)

It's also possible that the author has confused a relatively high income (or high value of non-productive assets) working or middle class existence with “upper class”; it's worth noting that the “upper class” understanding of the previous cicumstance was an epiphany reached through homelessness.
Would probably switch in a heartbeat if I could expand the posts without opening a new tab. How difficult would it be to port Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) to this? Or is there some browser extension that lets me accomplish roughly the same thing?

I think I'm one of many people who spends most of their time lurking anyway.

Might still give it a go...if I wouldn't browse reddit as much with the added friction of opening links to view posts, maybe I shouldn't browse reddit as much anyway.
git’s behavior is really nice: any program on $PATH named `git-foo` can be accessed as a sub command `git foo`. I’ve personally taken this a step further, and wrapped git in a shell function so that `git cd bar` navigates to the directory `bar` relative to the repository root.
>Because they were first or best to do it. MySpace was already a thing, several other social media sites but today they're mostly dead while FB is not. Luck does have a lot to do with it. I feel trying to quantify luck though will get us no where. Trying to "correct" for it, even more so.

I think this is a fundamental feature a winner take all/most market. FB beat out myspace and happened to win, but if not them it would have been someone else. 5 billion internet connected social animals is the value, not the app that facebook built.

>Do you think they should be? I cannot think of a reason... but I do understand what you mean.

I don't think they should be because I don't think billionaires should exist. But I do think the value they created was much bigger than the value Zuck created. They were better at creating value than capturing it.

>I don't see how the two are related though. There were a lot of things different about back then vs today. I would like to see the focus be on rent and CoL as I see those as way more of a problem than if Jeff Bezos has $50b or $100b. (his wealth has fluctuated like crazy with covid and divorce).

The two are fundamentally related. Gdp per capita is higher now than it was in the 60s, yet the median person is no better off. That can only be explained through how the wealth distribution has changed between now and then. Whether Jeff Bezos is worth 50B or 100B doesn't matter too much. The issue is that the wealthiest are capturing a larger percentage of income now than they did 60 years ago. I don't view our age as being more innovative than a time where we invented the atom bomb and went to the moon and other cool shit. And we paid for it with taxes! Jeff Bezos isn't more innovative than those guys, he is just having his workers piss in bottles to squeeze out every last cent. It is a return to the bad old days of Rockefeller.

>I would consider that beyond a straw man.

Did not realize that Yang supported it, learn something new everyday. Would like to hear his reasoning beyond the short blurb on his website as he has always struck me as deep thinker.
This data is BS.

Firstly, it's nonsense to take "average amount of deaths" over the past few years and extrapolate it to the current year without accounting for population growth changes, and rate of population growth acceleration.

Secondly, if you look at the "expected U.S. Death Rate" data[1], it shows that they expected U.S. death rates (per capita) to rapidly accelerate about 7 years ago, but the rate of deaths didn't really begin that acceleration cycle until ~2 years ago:

2017: 858.0 deaths per 100,000 predicted

2018: 868.5 deaths per 100,000 predicted

2019: 878.2 deaths per 100,000 predicted

2020: 888.0 deaths per 100,000 predicted

----------------------------------------

2017: 731.9 actual deaths per 100,000 [2]

2018: 723.6 actual deaths per 100,000 [3]

2019: 867.8 actual deaths per 100,000 [4]

2020: Could be anywhere between 835-910 depending on the population data and total death numbers you use to calculate

----------------------------------------

Not sure why people aren't dying as fast as they initially thought (probably modern medicine, etc), but that simply means there were more old people on the verge of dying coming into 2020. So even if 2020 shows a per-capita increase in deaths, it's to be expected.

> If someone uses their power to divert money into their own pockets away from people who need it more than they do, they're exploiting others

So when the dinner bill comes and you are given the power to choose how much to tip a waiter/waitress, do you exploit them by not giving them all of the money you can afford?

When shopping for a car, do you look for the dealer with the highest markup knowing how tough care salesman have it and pay asking price?
What do you mean by that last paragraph? Because on first read it sounds like you're suggesting something horrifying and I hope there's a more generous interpretation I've missed.
I wish this were less abstruse.
Ok, thanks. I previously assume the drinks were in coke cans, but now when you mention cups instead, and self serving, it's more obvious to me how the drinks can be that inexpensive.
What is possible is that some company came up with a non-rubber alternative and is using PR budget to fund research like this.
Suppose you had two entangled particles light-years distance apart.

Observer A observes one entangled particle at a spin up. At the same time, Observer B observes particle B at a spin down.

Observer A's observation of a spin up means observer B must see a spin down. However, the two observers are restricted at the speed of light to communicate this to each other.

It would initially seem like there is a instantaneous causal impact based on observer A's observation. But that's not the case.

I tend to think it was predestined what each observer see, but that leads to all sorts of philosophical questions.

I hope I did this topic justice, I find it quite interesting but have no background in it.
If you're on a .NET stack, F# is a secret sauce; its just not many have bothered to look :) Maybe discuss with your CTO and make a collective decision to invest in it by understanding what it brings to the table, and don't worry too much about the future, like having to hire F# devs. As I described above, guiding existing devs to learn F# is the equivalent of training them to think better (as PG/Eric Raymond quote, it will "make you a better programmer for the rest of your days"). If a small handful of you within the company develop expertise, you can guide others. And what's more; if you do pick up F#, many skills are transferable to other FP jobs (like Scala). There's a leap-of-faith element involved, but it has been paying us dividends.

Also, I really like this post: https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/low-risk-ways-to-use...

> But that whole "I'll get a loan to get a degree" is a tool for servitude. US really needs to get out of that.

You might be surprised to learn that the average student loan balance on graduation in the US is about $30k. That is actually a bit less than the average price of a new car sold last year, which is about $37k.

That is not a life-crushing amount of debt. It represents 4 years of college education for the price of a Toyota Camry. Why is it that we think that it's OK to spend that much money on a car, but unconscionable to pay that much for four years of college? Keep in mind that unlike car loans, college loans have public service loan forgiveness, can be postponed when one is unemployed, and have income-based repayment programs. If you don't pay for the Camry it's gonna get towed.

The problem with Bohmian mechanics (which is widely known and taught for like one lecture in undergraduate degrees) is not that it is violates the Bell Inequalities -- it doesn't, as they only forbid local hidden variables and this is a global one, iirc -- it's that it adds an additional layer of complexity for no benefit except to ease the conscience of people who can't accept entanglement, without making any calculations any easier. Occam's razor says to not give it the time of day.

Wikipedia also tells me it's hard to make relativistic; I don't know anything about that but it sounds plausible.
You've got to be kidding me. I don't think I've ever seen such a sudden wave of compassion for the victims of drug addiction in the US before the recent opioid epidemic - my jaw was on the floor seeing the number of politicians, including conservative ones, who started embracing the language of "sickness" rather than "moral failure" for drug addiction at this time. Compare and contrast the reportage on the crack epidemic.

To be clear, I'm not calling for a return to the bad old days, but it's in incredibly poor taste to pretend that there's some kind of conspiracy against "working class white men". Sure, we can weasel out with "in some circles" - I'm sure there's some nutter somewhere who thinks somehow this is all just desserts for being white or voting for Trump, etc. But that's a fringe viewpoint.

re Sackler family, although I wish them long, peaceful lives, I would like a considerable portion of those long, peaceful lives to be spent in some sort of Federal facility.
I feel this way too, but I often find those circulating articles are in mainstream media by people who don't understand what they're reporting on or in "science will cure everything" blogs. However, this is a summary posted on one of the most respected journals in the world's website. The article/study it is summarizing was peer reviewed and developed by scientists at some of the world's top institutions. Sure, we shouldn't get caught up in reputation as a marker of quality, but at the same time it does count for something... this is not the same as most of the breathless articles that I see circulate on social media.
I, for one, am heartened that while Mozart and Wesley Willis are completely different musicians in terms of sound, they both have compositions which touch on similar subject matter. I imagine if the two men could have met and conversed, they might eagerly exchange ideas.
That’s fine, you are allowed to pay the true unsubsidized market rate cost of operating a car. No one is stopping you, we are just making sure you’re not externalizing the costs.
Yes :) That moment when it simply clicks, it's not something that goes away. It has certainly made my day-to-day programming work a lot sweeter, hence I can't shut up talking about it. And it's not like I write some esoteric ML or data science code, a lot of these are boring line-of-business applications, yet it is so satisfying designing those in F#.
You basically described price for performance: it can do more at a lower price.

I understand now that ‘social safety net’ means welfare programs. When I came to this country many years ago, I had a completely diff understanding of what ’social safety net’ meant... to me..how I understood it by my lived experience..it was the social/security net family/friends hold so that if you were unfortunate enough to fall, someone will catch you.

Maybe it’s different in India now. But my generation remembers ‘family’(and I use the term loosely) walking in and leaving through a revolving door for a break from the condition what most people in America call ‘unhoused’.

You feed the guests, house them, pull connections..find a job, heal them, fight for them..whatever until they can leave. If someone can’t manage it, they’d at least duct tape them and drop them off with the next relative with more resources. Keep in mind..’resources’ doesn’t necessarily mean money..it could be pulling a favour or even just giving sane advice.

It boggles my mind that anyone could go hungry in the USA..one of the richest countries in the world. Having said that, a bag of rice, lentils and throwing in some vegetables is cheap. And it is easy to keep people well fed and housed so they can function, recover and revive. The social contract also insists upon reciprocal favors when the time is right. The entire society works on ‘you scratch my back, I will scratch yours’. Together..everyone survives.

Anytime someone has to leave their home town to travel for work or study or vacation or a break from the rat race, the social net will be activated and word will go from one end of the country to another. Also multi generational families were the norm and that’s how wealth..even middle class wealth..accrued.

I knew a girl whose family was from mainland China or Hk ..or maybe Taiwan whose extended family had a restaurant. Everyone worked at the restaurant and she was also working at HSBC. We found out from her that she handed over every paycheck to the family’s head. And he gave her back a monthly stipend. She worked weekends at the restaurant without pay. When she finally decided to marry her boyfriend, the family gifted her a house. Fully paid off. And now she had a family unit of her own and an asset that was hers and hers alone.

Now...everyone who wasn’t a first generation immigrant was shocked by this system. I could grok it. That’s what I think of as a social net. It could be known as ‘co dependent’ in the west, but most people from Asia get it. Because there is no govt ‘welfare social net’ or Medicare or whatever. It took me a while to understand what ‘social safety net’ meant in the United states.

In America, everything is translated in the language of money and what someone else owes to every individual. It’s different. Entirely different world. Clearly.

I believe that it's healthy to have two philosophies. One that I apply to society and public policy and another one for myself.

I want society to take care of the weakest. I don't want anyone to ever end up without a basic roof over their head and food on their plate, regardless how bag their decisions are. I want children to have the opportunity to advice greatness, even if they come from poverty, or worse, their parents suck.

At the same time, fort myself, I don't want to ever have to use any services offered to people in need. I want to give know to society than I give.

I think it's necessary for us to have this split view for a healthy society.

Further, personal push for success relies on grit and smarts. Also luck, but it only makes sense to think about that to the extent you can influence it.

Public policy on three other hand is about statistics and we cannot ask for better people.

I obviously don't have the data, but I would argue that a tiny tiny fraction of Google's energy usage is dedicated to training language models.

I'm guessing the vast majority of the energy usage is for serving billions of requests for various products, such as search, youtube, maps, gmail, photos, etc.., and the cpu, network, and storage requirements for those requests.

Training and retraining ML models is definitely not on the hot path.
Here in Germany we have homeless people, and Romania wouldn't come to mind as a place where they don't. More likely I would expect people from Romania to be homeless in Germany. I think some homeless here are (possibly illegal) immigrants who don't have access to the same social security measures.

But there are also homeless Germans, despite of safety nets existing in theory. I think it is often associated with mental illness and addiction, making it difficult for people to master the bureaucracy to get access to social services.
Sounds like the point was pocket the money, and he did a good job at it.
I think it could be an aspect that homeless people flock to places where there is spare money and climate that is easier to survive.
An observation is that single-child families are correlated with higher academic level as well as higher socioeconomic level.

I wonder if that's a major part of the reason or if there are other more significant factors.
I don't really see how that's relevant to the specific issue of scientific rigor, and in this case is a strangely one-sided issue. as Dr. Gebru pointed out, soon after she took steps towards legal action against google (I don't think a suit was actually filed) she was also given an award by Google for her work and performance.

Also, it's strange to be giving google so much benefit of the doubt here. On the same day this happened the NLRB filed two formal complaints against google for retaliatory firing practices. If any participant in this drama has a known record of retaliatory and unfair labor practices, it is google, as documented by the federal government's extremely detailed complaint.

Its possible that it happens, but from my admittedly limited anecdotal experience from seeing a half dozen or so people claim that they were banned for no reason and then taking a look at their comment history, they were absolutely banned for a reason.

Do you have an example of someone being banned simply because they shared an unpopular opinion?

Also "not true in general" implies that you seem to think that its a widespread problem and banning people simply for having an alternative opinion is one of the more common reasons people are banned. On HN that is something I find hard to believe.

I cannot imagine a situation where someone is a good, experienced, effective developer who has never come across the modulus operator. I just put about 6 seconds of thought into it and you could also program:

* Fizzbuzz with a loop that has a recursive call inside.
* Fizzbuzz with a loop that has two additional, resetable counters

I don't even work as a developer and managed that in less than one minute of thought. Any experienced developer who cannot program Fizzbuzz isn't good.

> Could it also be that younger siblings get parents who are a little richer and gotten over the sticker shock of being a top athlete?

If the older sibling was in the same sport, younger siblings get parents that are more experienced in navigating & supporting training, etc., which probably extends beyond just price sticker shock. They may even get a boost directly from interaction with their older sibling. (I know that seems to be the case with general knowledge and skills development with my two young kids.)
