No. The title is wrong--"One in twenty workers are in ‘useless’ jobs". Instead it should be "One in twenty workers think they are in 'useless' jobs"

Huge numbers of employees are doing jobs which they think are useful--but if there job was eliminated nothing of value would be lost.
Power in what context? Both sides seem to have power.

I think it’s fair to assume that there is a political bias in university administrations.
Here’s an opinion piece where the author states that in their survey of political leanings in university administration the bias is significant.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/16/opinion/liberal-college-a...

I could not find any documentation or review of this survey. It does agree with my own observation however.
It suits the state to run the land registry: (1) a state is a barrier around land, which can be subdivided; (2) the state has incentive to do this; (3) the state can use law and courts to enforce it.

There are other problems that need registries where there is no party with inventive and means to act as the state does above. I think the physical-art and wine examples fit that.

The key quality of blockchain is that it allows groups to form consensus. Even though they compete on some matters, all stakeholders want the platform to succeed. If it doesn't, their investment is worthless.

Hence, Blockchain can act as a synthetic state for enforcing standards and governance of registries. This may go as far as having elections, rulings. The registry data itself could live off-chain. [Sure, there are details to be sorted out here. Maybe the blockchain entity would control all APIs, to allow it to enforce standards against the registries. Those APIs may not necessarily be on the blockchain.]

Due to incentives, I don't think the trust model is the same as a standalone registry. One of the many challenges of dealing with data providers at the moment is they can routinely have low data quality and still get paid. Whereas a state would intervene if a land registry fell below standard.

"In your other answers, you seem to take it for granted that using a blockchain means everything is interoperable"

This is a real problem. I think the foundation problem to solve is how to get somebody to fill a role equivalent to the state in the land registry example. Once you have that, you have a path to solving issues such as this.

Thanks for poking at this.
The etymology of the word "Ashkenazi" is irrelevant (argument from etymology is a fallacy), as for a long time now the word has been used in a different, wider meaning. And Ashkenazi is a valid distinction versus e.g. Sephardi Jews: Ashkenazi Jews used a different reading for Hebrew, adopted different codes of dress, employed different structures of doctrinal authority and hermeneutics of Scripture, etc.

Naturally under the Ashkenazi umbrella there were people of different cultures (and different degrees of assimilation to the surrounding non-Jewish population), but those Jews were still more similar to one another than to non-Ashkenazi Jews.
No. Homeschooling is really diverse; there's no "relatively standard" anything.

You may be able to find copyleft books and materials - I suspect they probably exist - but I don't know any specifics.
> acknowledgement of race or racial difference

Acknowledgment of race is inherently an essentialist position; that there is an essence to being a certain race that sets it apart from other races. Doesn't matter if that position casts the purported essence in a positive or negative light, it is bigotry in one way or the other.
No..?

If-expressions is a specialized version that only works on booleans, pattern matching is a more general concept (that of course can be used to implement if-expressions, but so can pure lambda calculus)
Frankly, it is absolutely racist, and I'll happily burn karma to say so.
>People don't just hand over their wallet, they chose the amount to tender in a transaction, which is the most they could lose.

This is a good analogy for the tech-minded, but I think it may not be as applicable to the non-tech-savvy. To many general users software is an abstract black box unlike a tangible wallet which they intuitively have an understanding of the contents.

When most people take their car to an auto mechanic they aren't prepared to say, "When you plug in your computer, only access the wheel speed sensor data and anti-lock braking software. Don't touch the fuel-mapping, car speed, infotainment, or GPS data." All they want is their car to drive again. They may not know enough of what's going on under the hood and, I suspect, would be more likely to blindly sign over whatever data the mechanic says they "need".

Yeah, this is why all the major SV companies give decent paternity/maternity even where not required by law. It's a really cheap way of getting your experienced/older employees to stick around.

Having left my FAANG a few years back, the only benefit that I actually miss is the paternity (even though I never had it when I was there).

The first is a more limited type of property tax, which we already have. We also have inheritance tax. The vast majority of wealth is held in capital assets like stocks and bonds (or DOGE), so if you don't tax that, then you aren't really taxing wealth, and taxing these assets is a nightmare.

Very true.

It is a vague and meaningless concept. It has never been defined except by referring to antiquated notions of “race” stemming primarily from 18th and 19th century ideas.

In modern times, we’ve apparently added biological sex, sexual preference and a vague (and meaningless) concept of self-identity that can, apparently, cross all other definitions with impunity - even changing fluidly throughout the day.

To appoint people as “head” of this mess of ideas point to deeper issues in the organization.

This is a bit like saying SpaceX's Starship isn't possible because Boeing's SLS is costly and delayed. "If Boeing can't do it, it must be tough" is no longer the same statement it would've been in the 1960s.

"I am not seeing anything here that would differentiate this from a Turing machine"

"I am not seeing anything here that would differentiate this from x86 assembly"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, if you insist on mapping something new in computing onto something you already know, you will pretty much always find some way of accomplishing this. While it might seem clever, it really just reiterates Turing-completeness, and so is not particularly interesting.

The question is whether your mapping is appropriate (it's not) or straightforward (also not).

Of course, this is a problem, because to understand something, you typically first have to map it onto something you already understand, but the key is to not stop there.

As to "something new": no, software architecture is not new. Not new at all. The seminal book is from 1996: Software Architecture: Perspectives on an Emerging Discipline, by Mary Shaw and David Garlan.

https://www.amazon.com/Software-Architecture-Perspectives-Em...

The paper trail is much older.

There is an entire discipline behind this, and in this discipline, FP is a small corner of the small corner that is the call/return architectural style, of all the myriad of architectural styles available. You can argue that this whole discipline of computer science with conferences, many thousands of peer-reviewed articles, many books etc. is all just BS, but I think you'd have a hard time arguing that case. And it would be you who'd have to make the case, because the discipline is well-established.

All Objective-S does is to say "hey, let's take this talk of connectors and components seriously and program with them". It's also not the first language to do this, there was ArchJava. Alas, this was an extension of Java with architectural constructs such as connectors, which is the wrong way around: connectors are more general.
I cannot imagine that Facebook will be able to compete with whatever Apple has planned in the AR space. Every platform advantage that made the Apple Watch incredibly difficult to compete with will be so much more important with AR.

This is particularly evident when considering Apple's lead in silicon, which will allow Apple's AR products to be lighter, faster and longer lasting than their competitors. Apple's vertical integration means that there should be more AR "apps" and better software integration than any of their competitors. Apple's pro-privacy push means that consumers will be far more willing to strap Apple branded AR glasses to their face all day.

Facebook might be able to out-compete Apple in VR (silicon performance and efficiency is not as critical for VR), however VR likely will not have the same mainstream appeal that AR will have.

Very good point. I'm just now fully understanding why at my last fin-tech job we stored all monetary amounts in pennies.

I don't know whether virtually all will be better off. But like people realizing that with the interent they no longer need to be in the office, many are realizing their kids no longer need to be in a physical school building.

There are just many resources out there on the internet to have excellent course materials and information delivered straight to your home, together with all sorts of physical activities and clubs available for recreation and group events, and there are big advantages to being able to learn at your own pace in a safe and non-disruptive environment taught by someone with a strong commitment to your well-being. Given all these advantages, the bar is pretty low for when customized learning exceeds the factory-style and heavily politicized education given at schools, especially given the current dysfunctional state of educational pedagogy in the U.S and the fact that unlike in other nations, the U.S. tends to draw teachers from the lowest scoring college graduates. The situation is very different in other nations, but in the U.S., education majors tend to be selected from the bottom of the barrel of the college graduate pool.

That said, the reason why most homeschoolers are much better off today is because parents who care about education and have the wherewithal to tutor their child self-select to homeschool. If everyone did it, you would find that a lot of parents can't spend the time to do it and need the school as a babysitter. Or they don't have the wherewithal to do it due to their own lack of education. So homeschooling is generally done by parents with above average education and income which is why it's so successful in the U.S. Make everyone do it, and those outcomes would change quite a bit.

I don't know, it seems much bearable to get airsick during a finite flight than to get a VR headset when you know that it will always get you sick.

Maybe I sound more sceptical than I am. The second they put out a VR system that doesn't make me sick (and isn't linked to Facebook) I'll be queueing for one. I'm just not sure when that will happen.
Exactly.

Apple has allowed users to reset their advertiser ID to a new random value as often as they liked since 2012, and has allowed users to go into the settings and turn off access to the advertiser ID (so that every app will see an advertiser ID of all zeroes) since 2018.

It wasn't until Apple made the Advertiser ID something that you actively had to opt into that the freakout began.

I disagree, a lot of learning a language is transferable, but not because it's 'learning how to learn', just because it's the same.

Grammars are largely described using the same system, with different languages using different parts of it (and more or less - Latin quite a lot; English quite little). Learning a second language (that's different enough) exposes you to more of the available grammatical constructs, so when you learn a third there's less that could possibly be new, and probably quite a bit of grammatical overlap with your first or second language.

> Australian government bailed out the economy as a whole through economic stimulus in 2008 and prevented the spread of the GFC to here

How was this bailout done? In the US, the bailout was done primarily by giving funds to over leveraged banks that had every right to collapse. CEOs took home record bonuses, and everyday citizen's lost their homes.

They tried to spin the story in the US as saving the economy too, but most people didn't fall for the obvious wealthy get wealthier, poor get poorer trick.

This actually birthed the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Through my childhood I would agree with you. By the time I was in high school this was no longer the case. Had many black friends, and once we all pass puberty and got cars, the world changed.

The first time I was with a black friend who got pulled over for no reason, and seeing the cop visibly change his demeanor when he saw me (white clean cut male) in the passenger seat, changed me. Talked with my friend after - this was already normalized for him. I was angry beyond belief.

It’s a useless proxy for judgement and yet US society does it to black and hispanic people with alarming consistency and frequency. It hasn’t gotten better since my youth.

This is the crux of white privilege and why “cancel culture” is bullshit for snowflakes who can’t imagine that the world is as systematically unjust as it really is.

I’ve listened to many black activists who ARE anti-white, who do self segregate, and I don’t blame any of them for a second nor hold any animosity towards them. They spent their lives being lied to, despised, tricked, and crapped on. Why would anyone want to continue that cycle?

Texas is a pretty big state. If you live somewhere in the middle, it's gonna be a drive with a friend (to drive car 1 back), a hotel stay, and a drive back, across an area that may not have much charging facilities, across a state that is legislatively hostile to non-oil energy.

Or you could contract with a car carrier to bring your car back.
