That’s about how I ended up at having zero interest in raising children. Back when I was still with an ex, I was ambivalent about children. They were in the “probably will happen but I have no concrete plans to change my life to accommodate them just yet” bucket. Said ex had a sudden shift in heart and realized she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom after all while we were discussing whether to get married or not. She was also one of my many classmates who should have said “college is a waste of your time and your dime” when calculating how many student loans would be necessary. It was then that my feelings on children clarified that I would only consider them if I could have a reasonable guarantee of granting them at least the numerous leg-ups I had as a child and that would be infeasible if we were that busy paying off mommy’s student loans. After we broke up, my feelings drifted toward just not interested at all: put flippantly, “spread ideas, not genes”.
100% a real thing. I haven't heard of anyone actually getting into an accident due to looking for mushrooms while driving, or at least admitting to it, probably in part because it's a hobby that people don't usually take up until they're well out of their most accident prone years. But I know a lot of people who have paid extra for lane assist and automatic emergency braking.

There is even a whole subset of mushrooms called the 55-mile-per-hour-mushrooms, so called because they're especially easy to identify while driving at highway speeds. Here is an old post referencing this: http://mpb.ou.edu/ben/ben416.html

Perhaps I don’t! I also went to an ag school, except one that’s objectively unimpressive.

I honestly can’t save as much as my peers, make a pittance compared to the Ivy Leaguers and have never achieved a fraction of what most of these hyper accomplished folks did even while being much older. Sometimes I feel like I should just wither away because there’s not much hope of ever achieving anything at this rate if I’m just innately inferior.
Anecdotal, but my subjective experience and that of my family, is that acetaminophen is worthless for pain management. Given that is poses an active risk to liver function, I can't justify its use at all. It's far too dangerous to be legal over the counter.

Interesting that it is included at high doses in prescription painkillers - no medical function, just a rather deadly deterrent to anyone seeking opiates.

>working a low paying job as a college graduate is actually highly virtuous.

I disagree. In principle I don't think anyone should work a low paying job, and I think opting out if you can afford it is the right thing to do.

Why should we have a race to the bottom on labor? I'd rather we have more blogs and interesting reading on the internet than cheap Starbucks thanks to full employment and high labor-force participation.

Work for the sake of being busy is silly, I believe industriousness like you profess is unsustainable for our planet, at least in our current social order.
> flies in the face of almost every useful metric of socioeconomic success.

Earnings isn't necessarily the best measure of socioeconomic success.

https://girlpowermarketing.com/statistics-purchasing-power-w...

Women control or influence 85% of spending, for example.

I would say the amount of goods and services you actually purchase and consume would be a better indicator of socioeconomic success, compared with earnings that may be enjoyed by someone else.

Working really hard to the point of destroying your health in order to provide a good life to your family would show up as "highly successful" by the earnings metric, but I would say the family benefits more than the one who is destroyed.

That’s how the immmune system works in general, with or without the vaccine.

> what you're saying is that there's effectively no difference to the recipient beyond the fact that the artificial self-replicating mRNA might be higher "quality" in some way

It’s the difference between taking a known dose with quality control or an unknown dose with no quality control.

> Let's put it like this: given the apparently low probability of being infected (for people my age, in a way that we actually notice, at current prevalence levels etc), most of us actually can choose "no vaccine and no virus".

Let’s put it like this. you can take vaccine and have an extremely rare chance if pericarditis, or eventually get the virus (it’s not going away) and have a higher chance of pericarditis.

> I’m no longer a programmer, but I wondered why it wasn’t “return (__builtin_popcount(x) == 1)” - just out of interest.

== is a boolian comparison operator. Therefore, we are returning true or false depending on how the expression evaluates. __builtin_popcount(x) will return the number of set '1' bits in the binary int x. Since powers of 2 in binary are always a single 1 followed by 0's, this expression is checking whether the number of 1's in the binary representation of x is equal to 1, and returning true if this is the case. Otherwise, if there are more than 1 '1's, this indicates that x is not a multiple of 2, and should return false.

Example: 15 in binary is 01111. There are 4 '1's, so the 1 == 4 comparison returns false. Increment to 16, or 10000, and there is exactly 1 '1', and so the comparison 1 == 1 returns true.

Hope this helped. :)

Yes. GURPS has a billion books covering different things. It's the opposite end of the spectrum.

Heck, I can probably list a dozen "universal" RPGs. Many fit on a page or two. GURPS is the only one that took off, because it's really an underlying system that many blendable RPGs are built on top of (like WoD).

As far as I know boys playing sports do far better than those who don't, so this you'd conclude that adding grown men to their lives helps them and that "toxic-masculinity" isn't really the main issue boys have.
If you read the article I linked, you'd know that they aren't just a slightly lower percentage but are systematically rated lower on the "personal" axis by Harvard admissions officers simply because they are Asian. It's insulting, at this point, that people like you continue to claim there's no systemic discrimination despite _court discovered evidence_ to the contrary. The only other explanation for the gap in personal ratings is that you think Asians as a group have less of those traits than other races, which is racist in itself.

That's odd, why would a pro-industry group be down on Tylenol? Do they take funding from the Sackler family?

Wait i couldn't figure out exactly why they were arrested. Is it illegal to sell video games cheats in china? Was it at the request of the game devs involved? Or maybe money laundering? Even assuming that online cheating is illegal there for some baffling reason... why would the Chinese police care about cheaters on western video games when its not even illegal here? That bbc article is a bit frustrating, just not a lot of useful info there.

Grimm's Law was a sound change that turned k into h when Proto-Germanic split off from Proto-Indo-European. The original form was something like *kwel which turned into *hwel in Proto-Germanic, then eventually wheel in English and hjul in Scandinavian languages.

The other words (chakra, circle, cycle) are from some kind of reduplicated form like *kwekwlos, via different routes.
> Also engineers get better (and happier) when they do challenging tasks!

I would rather encourage them to engineer to the limit of ability but deliver to Ed: within the limit of burning out my engineering team, plus some comfortable margin gained from the encouragement given, which should be rewarded.

I've talked myself into engineering insufficient time for unforseen downtime tasks and it took me a while to realise that I was wearing my management hat as a founder and not the engineering hat I should have been wearing.
That aligns with the Steve jobs unicorn story; a more even society sacrifices the extreme high outliers like him.

Yes you can overdose on Tylenol, but considering how widespread it’s use is, there are only 2800 cases of liver failure in the US each year and a fraction of those are due to Tylenol. That out hundreds of millions of users.

So people should be careful and follow the label, but to suggest it’s too toxic to be on the market is silly. You could say the same thing about GI bleeds with NSAIDS and the harm done. Should we just have not OTC options for pain at all?

And it looks like this blog post cherry picked a few studies. And pain studies are notoriously hard to do. Placebo effects are very high for pain.
Too much anger by the media is directed at drug companies, such as opioids manufactures. They ignore the other scam that is the OTC pain medicine racket

Why not both?

Why do sleight of hand to distract attention away from opioids manufacturers?

Ah but they do. See this person that was Indian (but raised in Nigeria!) but pretended to be black to get into med school [1].

"I was always in a state of terror that I would be found out. During one interview at Case Western Reserve University, I was confronted by a black doctor and admissions committee member. He barraged me with questions about my family and personal background. I said that my family came from Nigeria. It was technically correct because my Indian parents had lived in Nigeria before moving to the United States.

Finally he said, eyes cold, in more of a question than a statement, “I read your application. It says you’re black.” I nodded."

Just because its an industry front doesn't mean it treats (take money from) all companies equally.

And the fact it calls Tylenol out rather than its generic name acetaminophen just adds to this.

Definitely seemed very true during my PhD. Many of my peers had PhD or professor parents (I don't). I think the primary reasons for the increase are valuing the career through parents and having a mentor who knows the admissions game.

Highly factual reporting that's not very biased? Because that's what your link says.
Again, the subject under discussion is not GDP share but why the top 100 firms in Europe are growing less quickly than the top 100 firms in the US, and why there are fewer rapidly growing firms. As these are exceptional situations, they should not show up in aggregate data like average hours worked or GDP shares. It's a bit like asking whether there is a relationship between overall literacy rates and the number of Nobel Prizes awarded. It is all about the tail of the distribution, not the mean.
Also acetaminophen is widely available in generic form. Maybe a new equivalent OTC painkiller is about to hit the market?

>> My intuition is the opposite of what you're saying. Inflation devalues debt and savings while increasing the nominal value of wages.

Both statements are true.

Inflation increases the nominal value of wages while simultaneously decreasing the real value of wages, because wages have to chase inflation instead of the other way around. Sustained latency causes this difference to increase against time.
The US government is grossly incompetent in nearly all of its activities. Average workers paying 40% of their incomes into the system deserve far better stewardship.

When Latin borrowed the root of "govern" from Greek, it was a nautical term, to steer.

We have a tendency to think of "cy" as an S followed by an "ai" diphthong. But if we consider the "c" as a hard /k/ and the "y" as a vowel similar to /u/, there isn't a huge difference between "cyber" and "guber", the latter form showing up in Latin and ultimately in English words like "gubernatorial".

Because it reduces worst case roundoff errors from being linear to logarithmic. Why is that the case? Best intuitive explanation I can think of is that floating point behaves more like VHS than DVD. If you wanted to bootleg a thousand copies of Titanic, then would you have each copy be made from the previous copy? No. It'd look terrible. You would instead have a stack of VCRs where the copies could be made in a hierarchical way that minimizes the critical path of copies. The overall number of operations may be the same, but if we consider that errors get worse the more errorful something becomes then it should be simple to understand why divide and conquer improves numerical stability.
This is a bit too reductive. Men have a wider and flatter curve of outcomes than women. The ones who are doing really well are winning the Fields Medal and becoming C-suite executives; the ones who are struggling drop out of higher education, move back in with their parents, or get sent to jail.

I don’t suffer insomnia, but when I do notice I’m not falling asleep, because I’m ruminating, I shift my attention to the random noise of the visual field of my closed eyes. I “observe” the patterns: sort of a dull swirling, shifting static; and fall asleep within a minute or two. They are somewhat mesmerizing. I’ve asked others if they can also see such patterns with their eyes closed and haven’t found anyone that recalls them.

Despite what the article says, alternating Tylenol and another fever reducer definitely works well, and reduces the chance of overdosing on either due to a mistimed dose.

It's easy to find seemingly well informed smart people who claim that, and also those who claim the opposite.

That doesn't seem plausible to me when you consider that opera is the plural of opus. Afaik in early latin, /s/ often went to /r/ when it fell between vowels. That is why it has /s/ in the nominative but /r/ when you start to inflect it with suffices.

This happens a lot for third declension nouns where nominative ends in -s (opus is one such example)

Other examples of this pattern:

Corpus -> corporem (not *corpusem)

Venus -> Venerem (not *Venusem)

Flos -> florem (not *flosem)

Colos -> colorem (not *colosem)

Or more simply, we can look at opus and see it comes from a different PIE root from cyber. (When i look it up, the former has a root meaning "work", and the latter has a root meaning "turn")

We should not pretend they're harmless.

And we should probably make opioids more available (albeit still regulated): If the pain is bad enough that you'd risk your liver, you need something stronger than Tylenol!
