This isn't manual work, but high paying jobs often require certifications. The burden of acquiring the certification reduces the available labor pool.

My suggestion is to figure out which professions your state regulates, see which of those is best to become certified in, and get that certification. It depends on the state, but some professions have a very favorable time/pay payoff and others have a horrible payoff. In my state, it's easier to become a real estate agent (~250 hours) than it is to become a certified barber/hairdresser (1000+ mandatory training hours!!)

Assuming you pick something good, if you're smart and can pass an exam, it should be no problem. The best candidates where I live are starting your own car dealership, insurance sales, or maybe real estate, although those aren't manual work.

If you want something easier that's hands-on, where I live it's bartending, which requires a license here. My state pays the full minimum wage for tipped employees, so bartending ends up being roughly a ~$20/hour at worst ($15/hour minimum wage + ~$5 in tips per hour as a low estimate). If you bartend at a better place, you can easily make a lot more, although maybe this is not the best career choice during the pandemic.
I loved my Pebble Time (Steel) and currently own an Amazfit Bip. Both of these get right that a smartwatch should be a watch first, meaning being low-maintenance and reliably telling the time. The Pebble lasts 10 days and the Amazfit Bip about a month, both can do it because because they have E-Paper (sharpy memory LCD) displays.

Pebble in particular got it right: No touch screen. The Bip's touch screen is fine when compared with others (works when wet), but having to use it is still a gigantic pain (touch screns on smart watches, what an insane idea). My benchmark for usability is "can I skip a song on my phone while looking somewhere else".

That's of course in addition to nice build quality (aesthetics are important).

Something I would also like to see is good haptic notifications. Both the Pebble and the Bip make your wrist numb through long vibrations, while the Apple Watch (apparently) can simulate a light tap and even give you directions that way.
The Penn and Teller series, Bullshit, features an episode on polygraph machines and interviewer techniques. It's a good watch.
The problem is these review sites rely on complete honesty. Simply having "the vast majority of people" being honest isn't enough as it doesn't take many malicious actors to ruin an anonymous review system. You can ask basically any teacher for their thoughts on something like Rate My Professor.

3. Accelerate free knowledge. One example: preinstall Wikipedia and similar free libre open source software (FLOSS).
Word Online with online commenting and discussion features is a pretty slick workflow for virtual, document-based meetings though.

I considered trying to get us to standardize on LaTeX and git for document management, but delayed that decision in favor of "get started with Word first and get people used to writing at all". Once we went forced-remote and started using the online comment features, I don't see an equivalently accessible means to do that in tex.

> Unfortunately, it's just not possible to tell what a job will be like by reading a job description.

While I agree completely, isn't this wrong though? Shouldn't a job description be well written? Isn't "sprucing up" just code for false advertising?

I for one have seen countless job descriptions that were a ridiculous exaggeration of the kind of work that you would actually have done. It's important to note that it always want one way: making the job sound a lot more interesting than it was and demanding a lot more skill than was actually needed. Nobody went overboard with downplaying things.

I would prefer that there is a strict penalty for people who rely too much on their tool that they can't even do their jobs correctly. I'd fire a carpenter if an AI told the carpenter to fuck up my cabinet, because I expect my carpenter to double-check. Similarly if the carpenter finds the AI consistently useless and an avenue to get their ass sued, then they'll decline to purchase shit AI.

The novel is called, "Fall, or Dodge in Hell." It's probably even better if you know some of the characters from previous novels, but I haven't read his other stuff yet and still enjoyed this one. It's a sprawling story that seems almost like he duct-taped several manuscripts together to stuff them all into one novel. However that's not a reason to not like the book so much as just an observation that many of the side-tangents could have held their own as stand-alone stories.

Amazon/Kindle self publishing is actually a less known but pretty clever innovation they did, especially for printed physical books. The books are printed on-demand after a customer places order on Amazon, instead of advanced publishing. This cuts down a lot on costs and resources for each book, cuts out lot of middlemen for a writer and also provides avenue for writers to go direct to market without giving up huge profits to publishing houses.

This kind of makes sense for the vocational courses you mention but only when students follow the expected path. If a medical student fails out, they may struggle to pay back the large loan taken out against their future earnings. The same is true if they pass but don’t want to be a doctor.

I studied mathematics at university and if you look at the typical student entering undergrad at my university, there was a high chance they would go into further education after the degree, and a somewhat smaller chance they would become an academic (though this is the outcome the university was focusing on). There was a reasonable chance they would go on to a reasonably ordinary middle class job, and a small but significant chance they would go into a highly paid field like investment banking. It seems it would be terrible for those incoming students to take out loans against their expected future income because the average is pushed up by a small proportion of high-paying careers, while many students may choose to go into lower paying jobs (e.g. being phd students).

The problem is that the greatest burden falls on those who fail to meet the income expectations. I think such a system is regressive, at least in the technical sense.

Obviously with the hind sight of being someone with a reasonable amount of success, one might want to have had a system like the one you describe, but I think I wouldn’t want my friends who e.g. went on towards academia to have suffered such a system, and perhaps the pressure of needing to find work to repay loans would have led to a worse outcome for me.

I think I would want a system where the risks are socialised to at least a large extent. But I sympathise that some people don’t like the idea of others going off to get certain degrees that don’t really lead to improved financial outcomes, and the more serious issue of not having a way to incentivise certain courses[1].

In the uk we have a bizarre system of “loans” where if you are from a wealthy family you pay upfront for university, if you are not so wealthy the government pays for your tuition (for a certain amount of time) and provides money to cover living expenses as a “loan”, and if you are more poor the government (and if you’re lucky your university) will provide extra money towards your living costs as a grant. The “loan” accrues interest at a somewhat high rate (that depends on how much money you make) but isn’t really like a loan because it is paid back based on income (one pays 9% of gross monthly income above a threshold of about £20k/12) and written off after 30 years. This means that while people who don’t earn so much money don’t have an impossible burden after university, it is people with middle incomes who end up paying back the most in absolute terms (e.g. getting the balance down to 0 just before the 30 years is up and paying a lot of interest) while those with high incomes can quickly pay off the loans without paying so much interest and then enjoy an effective 10% pay rise. It seems this system is also somewhat regressive.
Have you ever been in a nursing home? All those systems would go unused. My grandmother struggles like hell to send simple emails with her tablet and she is easily one of the most "all there" residents in her home.

It would probably be more successful in 40-50 years when millennials start checking in to nursing homes, although who's to say we won't be as out of touch as the current generation of residents are.

I just started working with Swift again after building a couple toy apps when Swift was brand new. I feel your pain with their documentation!

What bothers me most is how their documentation for anything is a massive scrollfest[0], followed by links everywhere, yet the actual documentation still feels sparse enough that I almost exclusively try to just read the source code and make guesses. Rails docs sure aren’t going to win any design awards, but at least I can access everything on a single page![1]

Yeah, even with the low res images it’s clear these guys aren’t the same. They’re not even the same complexion with the guy in the license photo being several shades darker. (The darkness isn’t due to the low quality of the image.)

Are you sure you’re not comparing the wrong photos? I’m confident if you saw these two men stand side-by-side, you would not say that they look uncannily alike, unless you’re visually impaired.

I agree with someone else’s comments about the importance of observation. My brother and I worked at the same startup. I was full-time. He was an intern. After several weeks, another intern was some how confused and thought my brother and I were the exact same person. I mean sure, siblings do look alike. But some how she didn’t notice that one of us has light brown skin and the other has dark brown skin, one of us is a whole 3 inches shorter, one of us is a whole 40 pounds heavier, one of us wore glasses and the other didn’t, one of us has a full head of hair while the other one is balding in several spots with a receding hairline, etc you already see where I’m going with this. Yet for 3 whole weeks, she came to work M-F and thought we were the same person? It was an open office environment and we all sat in one large room.

From Wikipedia: "MMT argues that governments create new money by using fiscal policy." [1] i.e. "government prints money to do stuff".

So it's not a 'conclusion' or 'moral imperative' though, it's a simple fact of the matter: the socialization of the economy through the control of the monetary system.

As a secondary point, we can argue about possible ideological implications, in which case, I would say 'this is just Socialism', and we can debate that, but it's besides the point.

Another telling quote from the same article: "In this theory, sovereign government is not financially constrained in its ability to spend; the government can afford to buy anything that is for sale in currency that it issues; there may, however, be political constraints, like a debt ceiling law). The only constraint is that excessive spending by any sector of the economy, whether households, firms, or public, could cause inflationary pressures. "

Again: the government is completely free to control any assets it wants to control (as long as they are denominated in local currency). The constraints would be 'politics and inflation'.
Depends somewhat where you live and what you plan to do with the Bitcoin (long term hold or actively trade).. but major exchanges in major countries are pretty trustworthy these days.

Kraken, Gemini, and Coinbase are all quite trustworthy, if any of those are available in your locale.

Buying and holding for 4+ years has produced amazing gains in Bitcoin since its inception. Trading often and fooling around with alt coins has caused many great losses and pain. Don't invest more than you can stomach losing or holding in the red for a few years.

I wrote a long response to your claim.

Implies. Take running for example. No one in modern society "needs" to run, but I took up endurance running and doing something like running a marathon teaches you a lot. Probably many of the same lessons you're imagining.

All that to say, growing up poor I'd agree is probably pretty likely to imbue you with those learnings. It doesn't mean that people who haven't experienced scarcity have never learned those lessons.

Oh, I do flag when things are clearly spam, I leave alone things that are not clearly spam but which don't align with my interests, and I upvote things that I think add value to the site, even if I'm not especially interested in them.

But sometimes there are clear errors that can easily be fixed, and where fixing them would make the submission or content flow more easily, reducing the cognitive load on readers, and generally being an improvement.

I'm content with the concept of wabi sabi, but there are times when a small effort by the author reduces the load on all the readers ... I see the return on investment as worth it, and yet the authors rarely make the change.

Thus I think that many here are in "fire and forget" mode.

It all depends on supply and demand.

If you have 6-8 months left in your lease, and they do not have demand, they got you locked in so their incentive is less. They do not have demand so obviously the unit you vacate will also sit for a few weeks at least so you need to pay. That's the contract.

If you have 2 months left, they know you are high risk to move out so they will throw discounts to avoid yet another vacancy.

I think your perspective here is a clear example of how subverted and anti-human corporate growth mindset is intrinsically.

It sounds like you’re rationalizing how desensitized you are behaving and scapegoating it with being busy as an excuse.

Either you care and you make time to solve them problem (including by growing slower so your humanity and dignity remains intact, which sounds pretty questionable) or else admit you openly don’t care about candidates and you choose to value the marginal use of your time focused on growing the business higher than you value doing the right thing or coming up with a solution that meets some minimum level of care.

That we have not looked long or hard is why we have not (yet) found a signal. Interacting with an ETI will be much more problematic than finding a signal, given speed of light issues.

That is correct, but not for the "two pipe approach" I outlined in my post.

There is a form of geothermal energy generation that is being used here, that injects water into the ground and taps into the heated water. This is somewhat similar to the way fracking is performed to extract oil and gas from the ground, but it's not the only method.

But to your point - to me it is surprising that these issues aren't being "worked on more".
