The bay area is BRUTAL for dating; especially if you aren't' a white. conventionally attractive millionaire. I'm not saying this based onm tinder but from actually putting myself out there at bars and parties.

7 years working in startups -> long dry spells between a few one night stands. Eventually I gave up trying to form a connection with anyone. I had plenty of cash but life just felt empty and lonely.

One day I had enough and picked up a remote job and started traveling. The dating pool gets a lot better when you leave the united states. I had met a great girlfriend within a month of staying in Colombia.

Bay area -> make your money and get out as soon as you have the connections. its not worth staying.

I've seen this comparison in a few articles. It makes no sense at all. It's like if I said Microsoft's market cap ($1.942T) is larger than the GDP of Russian ($1.7T), or Apple's Market Cap ($2.125T) is double the combined endowments of every single US university altogether (about $1T). Complete nonsense comparisons.

>A woman is no less qualified to raise a man than a man.

It's not that women aren't qualified, it's that children need father figures as much as they need mother figures:

Whenever these discussions about breaking up or regulating Amazon, Facebook, Google, etc come up, I often wonder how much of it is that these are nice big, visible targets that make politicians look good to demonise, rather than that it would genuinely improve lives and society.

And leading from that, which much less visible behemoths and industries having a kitchen sink or two launched in their direction would generate societal improvement.

Video or photo evidence. First person testimony is often contradictory and objectively very poor. In the case of this issue there were many contradictions.

You have to take a risk to obtain the evidence. I don't see any way for it to be facilitated, facilitated evidence is indistinguishable from fabricated evidence. You'd need to fly a drone or wear a bodycam. It would definitely come at a risk, unless you were doing it covertly with enough resources to minimize it.

They're saying it's the most explicit form of institutional racism, since it's (1) so blatant and out in the open and (2) centrally mandated instead of a byproduct of a few renegade individuals.

That's not to say that it's necessarily the most impactful form of institutional racism.

> And you are sticking to tables of income and tax rates and claiming that income tax is 51% not 80 or 85%. At the same you decide to ignore my claim was the overall earning you do over you life will be taken away by the state. Surely you can understand the concept of overall tax burden.

I was looking at the numbers from the other page that you posted that showed that the TOTAL tax burden at ALL levels of government vs GPD was ~36% which was slightly higher than the OECD average which was 34%. That places it in the middle of the pack for Europe.

That's a pretty good tradeoff. Especially when you consider that getting large populations vaccinated pretty much ends the pandemic.

I think there's a difference between cramming someone into a caste in perpetuity and ... them having a childhood where they're exposed to job skills and study habits that somewhat favor a certain career because that's what their parent does.

My kids saw a whole lot more of "how technology works" and mathematics during elementary school than most kids. A lawyer's kid probably heard a lot more of argument, rhetoric, and legal reasoning than mine did. They still could do something completely different-- the lawyer's kid could go do technology and my kid could grow up to be a lawyer-- it's just a somewhat less likely outcome.

> I dislike much of the modern humanities with their pious, dreary approach

As someone who recovered from a mild case of being a STEMlord in college, grandiose claims of unearned self-importance are what turned me off from literature classes. I was always down to take a class in history, philosophy, or music if my schedule had an opening for that semester, but I took the minimum I could get away with in languages & literature.

Part of the problem is that English departments insist they are important because they “teach you how to be fully human”, which induces eye rolls: it’s like how the Quality Inn having the word “quality” in its name is unintentionally ironic. I still don’t know if the Dead Poets Society was meant as a satire of self-important literature classes or as a genuine homage to them.

At least the way it was taught when I was in high school, poetry was either cheesy rhymes or was the literary equivalent of debugging someone else’s code golf. It wasn’t until I discovered the authors Mark Danielewski and Christian Bök that I understood the joy in playing with language for its own sake.
>The fact that men don't tend to be a socially adept doesn't help.

Men are socially adept in their society and a society of their peers. Just not in this one which seeks to break them down and punishes them for not being women.
>> And the elite universities have acted on it, and many of their new classes are very different.

> No less elitist though. The idea of a selective college is elitist.

What does that mean? By that definition, everything selective is 'elitist', including my high school wrestling team. By non-elitist, we generally mean it's not biased in favor of the people who are already in society's elite.

Some top colleges now admit much more economically and ethnically diverse students. I've seen the applications, and they've reduced processes that select for children of the elite (such as standardized tests). In other words, they aren't admitting the children of elite (or not as much) - I think that is meaningful.

What appeasement? Western governments were never interested in appeasing, only in profit. Now China is in the way.

Yeah, you're confusing "it's legal" with "it's not a depraved waste of one's humanity praying on the weakest of society".

That should be wholly obvious from the fact that these sites exist, out in the open. And from the fact that nobody argued what you're refuting.

There is no nationwide effort to classify killings based on whether an individual was armed at the time. It's better to just look at killings because those are significant enough to record.

A point not made in the article: American consumers are better at consuming and driving growth than European consumers:

When the article mentioned Starbucks and Tesla, I immediately thought, those would never have taken off in Europe. Americans are just much better consumers. Americans spend more on luxury and value convenience to a greater deal. American consumers are also more adventurous and willing to try new things. If I spent $80k on a Tesla when their brand was still nothing, people would call me crazy. "Could have gotten a Porsche", would probably be, what they'd say.

And if you notice, what is happening, luxury markets is where all the growth is, these days. Essentials are not growing much. This is probably another reason why Europe, with all its experience in these essentials markets is not capturing much of this growth. With the exception of clothing and apparel.

You can setup Zerotier on your NAS and your computer (and Phone, etc) and things will always stay connected via an internal ip no matter where you are. I have been using this setup for several years. Best part is it works with any software running on the computer or Dockers, etc on the NAS.

I bought a second (cheap,slow) NAS and installed it off-site (away from home) and I keep a full off-site mirror of my NAS.

Use any tools you want, syncthing, rsync, smb, NFS... It's all just internal IPs routed via ZeroTier.
Not quite, the analogy breaks down here… discoverability vs. accessibility is different. Both contribute to the distribution of content. Google solves one part of that equation, but I’m referring to total decentralized distribution.
The Fed can absolutely set interest rates below 0%. However, elites can't collect Seigniorage rents if they aren't creating new money. There's also the issue of creating so many loans that people can't pay them back without new money entering the system. Our system is based on ever expanding money and debt. It will be painful when we're no longer able to expand these things.

I'd love to see that analysis if you can find the source.
I think the American Heritage Dictionary (1969) was the first general dictionary to show reconstructed Indo-European etymologies for English words [1, 2]. That’s where I learned about the supposed common origin of “science” and “shit,” more than forty years ago.

The first and second editions of the OED did not show many (any?) Indo-European roots, at least as far as I can recall, and they may not have been incorporated fully yet into the current online edition either. It’s also possible that the OED editors are cautious about accepting Indo-European etymologies, which are reconstructed rather than based on written evidence.

> How does that work on a blockchain?

Since none of us are the operator in the matrix, we're not looking at the raw bytes of the blockchain, we're always using some view layer over the data. So the view layer can choose to not see the content of some block.

This could be done by having community operated blocklists to the effect of "you don't want to know what's at these locations" - you can't take back what's been said on chain, but you can cover your ears.

You have causality backwards. Accumulating debt tends to drive inflation.

Inflation is disliked by banks, as it reduces the value of any currency-denominated assets (loans, debt, insurance premiums, etc.).

Inflation aids creditors.

The question of how money is injected into the financial system is independent of whether or not inflation occurs. Direct injection to consumers ("helicopter drops") would be least injurious to inequality. The fact that the financial sector engineers monetary supply increases to be in their favour is a problem of the wealth-power connection.

Well maybe they're smart enough to know that, in a world where most things have either been automated or offshored, the only purpose most jobs serve in the grand scheme of things is to increase the velocity of capital.

What if we dropped the inflammatory political attack and just talked about loan forgiveness? Can an idea or anything else be depoliticized.

And it does have some benefits, in addition to that drawback. I'm not sure about the extent or nature of it - many leading colleges reduce their prices to get the students in the door - has anyone studied it?

From my experience, the straightforward trade where a subscription to the band’s newsletter (or reactivation if you’ve previously unsubscribed) is the price for the free song is the scenario. Right or wrong, people mark those newsletters as spam or delete them without opening them to check for an unsubscribe link.

People will mark spam as spam, but they also have no hesitation about marking legitimate bulk e-mail they willingly signed up for but are no longer interested in as spam as well.

As long as your authentication scheme is based on a bearer token, you can't really prevent it, but binding to IP and setting short expiry can help motivate it.

If you want to avoid this, you have to use something in your authentication scheme that can't leave the device/user, so we're talking certificate or other public key crypto based schemes.

TLS mutual authentication is one common tactic for this, although the scenario itself is uncommon.

The suggestion that there is some significant number of police killings that are going unreported - especially in the environment of the past several years - is categorically conspiratorial thinking. It fails the barest of sanity checks when you consider just how 'deep state' an effort would be required for that to be conducted at scale.

Are there some unreported police killings? Almost certainly. Would there be enough to alter the central thrust of the above argument about the shockingly low incidence of police killings of unarmed persons relative to ~10 million arrests per year and some multiple of that in total encounters? Almost certainly not.

EDIT: Poster changed the link and added a comment. The below is a response to the modified comment.

> There is no nationwide effort to classify killings based on whether an individual was armed at the time. It's better to just look at killings because those are significant enough to record.

Sure. You can look at the total number of police killings and not only are the numbers still shockingly low as a percentage of arrests and encounters, but there is also no overt sign of an extraordinary racial bias: https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-de....

It's science in a different sense than you're using the word; it's cooking informed by science rather than by craft tradition. A good illustration of the distinction is in the debate between Marcella Hazan and Harold McGee, about the value of cooking with good virgin olive oil --- Hazan, from the Italian craft tradition, took umbrage at McGee's observation that heat denudes good oil of most of what makes it good.

(I may be misremembering some of the debate, so don't hold me to specifics).

McGee presumably didn't do "science" to reach that conclusion (I assume he got there axiomatically, like any good HN scientist would) --- though I'd note that Kenji frequently triangle-tests recipe specifics with panels, which is more science than most food writers employ. But he used science to get there. You don't get a journal article out of that, but it's a more scientific approach than the common alternative, which is why we call it that.

There are over 150 nations, most of them tiny that have a currencies, it's not rocket science.

A nations currency will have the integrity and competency of the governing class, so El Salvador will be able to have a basic currency when they are not corrupt.

Frankly, this whole thing stinks of corruption, my bet is that the leadership are already speculating on BTC and are making big statements like Musk to drive it up, and that their fingers will be in the pot of the BTC volcanic mining.

But it may be moot: you can't force people to use BTC and businesses, esp. those that import will balk at it, and citizens likely won't adopt it.

Ask a US, Canadian, UK, Brazilian bank to provide basic financial services for citizens and they'd do it in a heartbreat.

The 'currency problem' in El Salvador is just a symptom of underlying problems.
