I can't wait for the new generation of lawyers to save us from the old generation of lawyers that set our policies without knowing much about how technology works. Doesn't congress have like 5 people out of 500 with an engineering background? If you want to save us, give us representation.
401ks are pretax, so you should max those out. Health premiums are fairly reasonable, I paid about $300/month when I was living in LA, that was just the employee side, the employee side was a lot more probably.

None of that is unique to California. Your overall tax burden in California will be about one percent higher than Texas, according to https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-highest-lowest-tax-bur..., though Californians typically lay spot more taxes because they make more money.
"But I haven't seen California take meaningful steps to solve any of these"

Yeah, the thing is there are political and regulatory efforts to deal with these, but most people don't hear/read about them, unless they are super wonky.

So the people who tend to get involved are the wealthy people who benefit financially from the outcome, and the occasional non profit. The latter is where you can actually make an impact for good.

>They cannot supercruise indeed, yes, but neither can the F35.

F35 is able to supercruise at 1.2 M. The issue is that its stealth coating gets damaged.

>There is no rear-aspect stealth for any aircraft. The F22 has a 20-25dB higher RCS from the rear than the front, enough to make it plainly detectable. The same will be for any airplane

Not the same for any. While the rear aspect situation is naturally worse, it is still very different for "normal" vs. stealth airplanes - i.e. distances at which it can be detected and how well a missile can lock are still significantly decreased by stealth measures like those for F22 and F35 for example :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_F135#Design

"Like the F119, the F135 has a stealthy augmentor where traditional spray bars and flameholders are replaced by thick curved vanes coated with ceramic radar-absorbent materials (RAM). Afterburner fuel injectors are integrated into these vanes, which block line-of-sight of the turbines, contributing to aft-sector stealth. "

> I’ve heard that humans had a long period of time after we became sedentary and started relying on agriculture that the average height decreased significantly, and it was only in recent centuries that it has gotten back to normal due to more varied nutrition. So even if you can technically survive on a very limited diet, it can still have negative effects.

It's not the variety of the diet but the quality of the food itself. Bread is good for energy, but if all you're eating is bread, you're not getting complete proteins, omega 3s, and other nutrients. It's fine, however, to eat nothing but meat and many societies did this for hundreds of thousands of years.

Farming is anything but sedentary, especially in the 19th century and prior. People's height was stunted because food was not abundant enough. Agricultural societies tended to grow faster than farming productivity could keep up with. A lot of people were simply malnourished and therefore never reached their natural height capacity.

But as you say, the hunter / gatherers such as the native Americans were taller on average than the first European settlers to arrive in America. This is not due to a particularly diverse diet. Most cultures subsisted on meat from hunting (largest source of nutrition) and a select few vegetables. The difference is that hunter / gatherer societies tended to self regulate their population according to available resources.

Goodwill (at least mine, there are a lot of them) does take computers, but because of data security they aren’t sold in stores. Most Goodwills sell computers on eBay or shopgoodwill.com after they’ve been wiped.
Yeah, it's crazy. When I went to visit my cousins in Paris, I stayed for 19 days, and it was awesome. A friend said that 3 days was enough, and it would be nice to travel to a few other places too. Maybe enough for a quick glance at some tourist spots, but not to actually experience the city. I could have stayed for a whole month, or two, and would still be getting new experiences.

As you mention, there's a good balance, and maybe 20 days could have been spent in 2 cities. But a weekend is very shallow
I'm holding out for annoytris. You get random pieces until the AI detects you're being greedy. If it thinks you're trying to setup a 4-line Tetris, then that's when it starts with the bad pieces.

Best strategy is to clear 1, 2, or even maybe 3 lines at a time. (But don't get in the 3-line habit, you might anger the AI still)
> That said, most people feel there's less need for following distance when it's an automatic - that's what I consider a bad and dangerous habit.

That's an interesting way to phrase it so I'm curious what you mean. I have long thought that it would be nice if more people drove manual because then they would try and regulate their speed a bit more to minimize shifts, eg in stop and go traffic I'd prefer going 3 miles/hour for 20 seconds than 10 miles/hour but fully stopping every 2 car lengths, or when you see a red light ahead, most people stay their current speed and then stop quickly rather than slowing in order for it to change to green before they have to fully stop.

Is that the concept you're getting at with the following distance thing (since longer following distance gives more room to keep a consistent speed) or are you getting at something else?
Interesting, sounds like graphical sudo.
I think this is an incredibly poor take, and done with incredibly poor taste – pun not intended.

Experience is, broadly speaking, able to be considered as a spectrum with both vast breadth, and depth. I believe this holds true not only for external experiences, in this instance cuisine, but also for internal qualia and more compounded experiences.

It is, to my understanding, widely accepted that people are capable of living lives that can be vastly alien to what we might consider ‘consensus reality,’ or everyday life, more loosely. Look towards monks, yogis, and more briefly, psychonauts as examples of living beings with, presumably, internal lives vastly different to our own. Yet in those people we hear accounts of deep personal satisfaction, even euphoria, from no external source. Contentness, at a minimum, doesn’t demand a minimum breadth of experience, or any experience at all, as a prerequisite.

I’d go so far as to argue that the small-mindedness you’ve presumed of this man, may be an acute reflection of your own base assumptions about others.

It pays to be mindful that others lead lives as rich, meaningful, and subjective as your own, even if the set of experiences in question may vary vastly.

I see no good reason to not take this man on his word when he says he truly is satisfied with his life, particularly when he’s at a point where he can reflect back on it – something not afforded to those of us still living what we can only hope to be the bulk of our lives.

Everything I’ve written prior notwithstanding, let me ask: do you actively go out of your way to try every new experience possible to you, costs be damned? If you answer no, then you accept that there’s a radius you choose to set, within which you’re satisfied knowing that the experiences you’ve had thus far, and their costs, are in equilibrium, and that you’re content with not exceeding that boundary. Who are you to say that his ‘smaller’ radius of experience, ignoring the incredible amount of contemplative time afforded to this man, and what that may imply for his internal life experiences, is any less of a valid choice than yours is? Surely you’d then accept you very likely fall within a subset of a larger radius of possible experiences, of which there are people willing to explore past the boundaries you’ve set for yourself.

Ignorance may in fact be bliss, but I wouldn’t be so quick to assume this man is the ignorant party here.
Happiness - he's found it.

Sure, he's an extreme and very few want to emulate it because there's a mild element of delusion. But, he's found the thing so many of us work our entire lives for only to never find.

Part of life is letting happiness find you, part of life is finding happiness, and part of life is pushing away things to find happiness in what you have.

I say, well done.

The problem is that a lot of economists have no clue about the tech as well. I think it’s on us to learn more about that side.
Don't most migrants have nostalgia for their country of origin? Where their roots are, no matter how much of a globetrotter they were. Sure, if the country you grew up in a beleaguered place, you wouldn't think of going back. But I've heard so many migrants say things along lines of: "oh, man, once I'm retired... <fill in blanks>".

"Disclaimer": migrant myself. Not necessarily my dream to go back "once retired". But my wife yearns for her motherland. And so do many.

“Paid less than the minimum wage” has been debunked and was referring to one Goodwill organization, employing extremely disabled people who were close to not being able to work. Cashiers are paid at least minimum wage, usually more.
This is a neat trick. I would like to see a video where they cook a decent amount though. I think the noodles would get all tangled up if you cooked 300g at once in a normal sized pot.
I don't understand how this is even a security concern. How does it matter whether an app accesses the camera while it is taking up the full screen vs half?
Sorry if you saw my original comment, I misread this as a dismissal through exaggeration, but after double checking my comprehension I realise I was both wrong and missing the fact that I can relate to most of this.
I've tried many of the things you mention, and while I don't do all of those things still, many of them do make my life easier and more stress free. It's interesting how many of the things I've just stopped thinking about as I tried them and subsequently rid my conscious mind of other more time consuming or stressful options.

There are so many better things to spend time on than the mundane parts of life.
My favorite part of Mongolian history is when their head refused to mass kill monks... I mean fight with the enemies of the people, so he was invited to Yalta (or some other resort?) and killed. And a new head was appointed instead.

Say what you want, there are countries that achieved way more than USSR, not to mention Mongolia, without mass killings, man made famines, slavery camps, serfs (1960s was the year when Soviet "collective farmers" were salaried for the first time and got a right to get a passport and leave their "farms").
I think it is. There are people who experience time differently due to disabilities, who simply are like this[1], but I it's also possible when trying to make an effort: Meditation is meant to give this ability: Also the Japanese "ichigo ichie" living in the moment is based on the concept, and some people I know not just "practice" this but are incapable of multitasking - because they chose not to.

Something can be gained by not stripping away boredom, but instead "savouring" the moment to see where it leads (essential for creativity).

Then there is the idea of taking a cold shower as first thing in the morning to tell your subconscious to better not be to comfortable, and prepare "properly" for your day ahead (without "expectation" of comfort). Eating the same supper is a similar spirit and strips away the comfort and thinking that "one has an entitlement to something".

[1] this is a truly fantastic book if anyone was looking for an unsolicited recommendation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Discovery_of_Slowness

from the wikipedia link:

> "Slowness" — in German, "Langsamkeit" — had, before Nadolny's novel been primarily associated with mental retardation. In Nadolny's world, however, this seeming disability is in fact a powerful asset; the possessor of "slowness" can afford to wait, because he must wait. As a result, he attains victories unimaginable to the more "hurried" multitude. Nadolny's choice of a hero is apt in this regard; certainly the historical Sir John Franklin was never known for his mental alacrity, but beyond that, his "slowness" is more of a post-modern conceit. In a manner reminiscent of Roland Barthes' "autobiography" of Jules Michelet, Nadolny's Franklin is completely consistent with the known facts, all impeccably researched. Yet interwoven with the truth there is an entirely fictitious construction of Franklin as "slow," ranging from an imaginary ball-game in which the hapless John always arrives several seconds after the ball has departed to a fictitious re-creation of Franklin's efforts, at the height of Admiral Horatio Nelson's naval battles, to find and shoot a sniper from atop the masts of an enemy warship. By waiting, without panic, and carefully noting the angle at which the sniper's shots have been discharged, Franklin pinpoints his location and takes him down with a single shot.
Parent said "Also, Facebook doesn't track purely for better ads. That's the benign version. Facebook tracks because it wants to own the aggregate profile of "you" online"

It was first implemented locally in the reconstruction era south to keep blacks from competing with white labor.

Later, in the 1920s, African Americans had a higher rate of employment than White Americans! But after the federal minimum wage passed, their economic power was destroyed and has yet to recover.

Today, most people don't consider it as having anything to do with race, but when it was first put on the books, it was specifically designed to hurt them.
You find noble, humble and virtuous souls depressing to be around?

Look at this austere man, so capable. Entirely singular. Wholly content. How can you come to find even a hint of the vaguest ennui. Truly I envy the man, I aspire to be so contented, unfortunately I've decades of conditioning to unravel to attain such a saintly outlook. Imagine how simple and humane the world would be if it was populated with people like this. The man is wise.

Would it be fair to assume you find such people "depressing" because they're resistant to your superficial intellectual rotundity? Because they don't play your games?
You still can! You just need to find someone willing to give you a shot. If you're financially able to, definitely tell them your story and offer to work at a reduced "probationary pay" for some months to show you're dead serious.
This is one piece of evidence of co-evolution of cells and viruses, that communities of reproducing molecules actually pre-date cells.

here's an HN friendly paper discussing the origin of life via information theory:

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2019.03.009.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002251931...

this paper is the cite for this section of the wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_evolution

At the beginning of life, a community of early replicons (pieces of genetic information capable of self-replication) existed in proximity to a food source such as a hot spring or hydrothermal vent. This food source also produced lipid-like molecules self-assembling into vesicles that could enclose replicons. Close to the food source replicons thrived, but further away the only non-diluted resources would be inside vesicles. Therefore, evolutionary pressure could push replicons along two paths of development: merging with a vesicle, giving rise to cells; and entering the vesicle, using its resources, multiplying and leaving for another vesicle, giving rise to viruses.

I don't think so. I think the idea they want the money to lose its value only if someone hoards it. If it's spent quickly enough, it retains its full value now and in the future. That's not how hyperinflation works.

> Ah, sounds like the common trend in the hard sciences of putting "difficulty" on a pedestal. Can't make it too easy to learn, need to make things generic and obtuse so only the most dedicated can master the material!

I'm not sure that this kind of snark is helpful if you want to teach something.

My point is precisely to make things as easy as possible, not harder! Variables are just slots. How would you rewrite the following using "meaningful" variable names?

The two solutions of aXX+bX+c = 0 are X=(-b+√(bb-4ac))/2a and X=(-b-√(bb-4ac))/2a ?

Any "meaningful" names that you could assign to the terms X, a, b, c would depend heavily in the context. You would convert this equation into an unrecognizable monstrosity. But this equation appears in many different, completely unrelated contexts! The main point of math, I'd say, is that no matter what is the context, the equation is always one and the same and it is solved in exactly the same way. Thus it pays off to have variable names as meaningless as possible.
I can't tell if this is satire. If it is, bravo, well done.
