> but it does feel punishing that other people are having their way paid for while contributing less.

How Dickensian. Nothing is being done to you, so I fail to see how this could be seen as "punishing." It's not like living at the mercy of a state program is a good outcome -- before this program was announced, the life situations of many of these people and their dependents who "contribute less" was far, far more precarious. Why not just see this as an act of overdue mercy -- an act of your greater community pulling together to overcome a devastating plague that profoundly affected us all?
This is extremely interesting. I have many of your symptoms, including low test, and I was diagnosed with a a microadenoma on my pituitary gland 2 weeks ago.
Your business mogul father had said the same thing to you. He seemed to believe money was the only thing that mattered.

Luckily you were not that shallow or self-deceived and realized that living a humble life and taking the time to work with your students one-on-one was true value you could provide.

Unlike your father, you will leave this world having given more than you took. You will have truly empowered the children to work for a better world than the one they were born into.
How many popular desktop apps use anything resembling native GUI elements?

>We have a very simple and strict voting process here - the key feature which builds the trust in voting is that every 4 poll workers are responsible for the integrity of only up to 800 votes

Can you say more about this? So at each polling place 4 workers are assigned 800 votes, and then they rotate out to a different group of 4? I don't see how that inspires more trust than our current system, the government could simply be lying that they rotated the 4 poll workers out. Or, in a large city this would be a complete cluster as you'd need hundreds of poll workers on standby to rotate in & out every 30 minutes or so. I would definitely be interested in hearing more though
> "We've been working on this for quite some time—well before Bessemer broke out," Randy Korgan, Teamsters National Director for Amazon, told Motherboard, referring to the unionization drive in Bessemer, Alabama that Amazon thwarted earlier this year.

Well the unions lost in Bessemer not because they were "thwarted" but because Amazon was offering really solid employment and benefits relative to the local labor market there and unionization could have led Amazon to divest from that labor market entirely. The employees in Bessemer understood that they had a good thing going that wasn't going to be improved by unionization.

Years ago, there was a presentation [1] by Peter Rizun of Bitcoin Unlimited at Stanford that demonstrated ~100TPS on Bitcoin, and the potential for 1000+ TPS if certain bottlenecks were removed. People said the same thing you're saying back then, but it served to motivate the big block community, and now today BSV routinely does 300+ MB blocks (1000+ tps). This Teranode software is the future of BSV and will become the common node configuration within a few years, so it's worth taking seriously. Also, I left a comment in this thread explaining why this test is more representative than you may think [2].

What is the "top"? "Top" is where you live off capital gains, meaning - in the broadest sense, someone else is working for you all the time. That's not something I'd aspire to. That's just plain lazy.

In some way, the "hard working elite" is the "laziest class" at the same time.

I do not wish for some utopian work world - I'd only wish we would not expect from others what we would not want for ourselves. And if the rich would never work for someone else, I'd be happy if they would not expect anyone to work for them.

Perhaps brave isn't the best choice for you, but it certainly will be a good choice for a lot of people who are currently using adblockers.

The most important think is if Amazon workers want to unionize.
Women would be crushed. As far as physical sports at the highest levels of play are concerned, women are inferior to men. That's not to say that women are lesser because of it, but that's just how it goes.

Karsten Braasch (peaked out at around 40th worldwide) beat both of the Williams sisters (both rank 1 players) back-to-back. He was twice their age and known for smoking cigarettes during changeovers. Male weightlifting records are hundreds of pounds higher than women's records. There are thousands of male sprinters who have posted a better time than the _world record_ female sprinter. I don't think there's even any data to compare men vs. women in combat sports like boxing because anybody who has ever paid any attention to sports can tell you it's an awful idea.

Yeah, we could do away with the separations, as long as you can accept that women will almost always take the back-seat at high levels of play.
An excellent example of nominative determinism!

Have the majority of the beneficiaries of this program done anything irresponsible, and do we have a way of accurately and dispassionately measuring this? COVID-19 wasn't their fault, nor was the government's handling of it their fault either. It's not like either of us know the full circumstances of all Californians (and their dependents) who are getting this relief.

EDIT: Sure, there are probably some people who were irresponsible. I'm not denying that. I'm asking whether or not we should we forgo helping the many people who were victims of this circumstance because some undeserving people might get something out of it? Sounds inhumane not to.

Would that this were the most important thing in the Amazon unionization effort. We would maintain measures like an actual election with secret ballots — instead of card check, where the Teamsters can see if you've signed the card, and pressure you if you haven't.

Yes. Chaotic systems arise in classical mechanics. So while often the formalism is easier to write down than for example in general relativity, calculating a solution is often very difficult or practically impossible.
I don’t know if that’s true or not. I know a lot of what you are saying first came from John William Money who… has a actually pretty evil history that should make everyone reevaluate the concepts [0]. I think the simple answer is we don’t know. We don’t know if you are right, we don’t know lots. But one thing we definitely do know is XY humans have more muscle mass and bone density on average than XX humans.

It’s probably not fair to put them against each other because of internal identity claims.

What is the hurry here? Why must we change women’s sports right now? Am I not told to “believe in science”? Where is the hard science on gender identity?

Justice Harlan, dissenting in Plessy:

“There is a race so different from our own that we do not permit those belonging to it to become citizens of the United States. Persons belonging to it are, with few exceptions, absolutely excluded from our country. I allude to the Chinese race. But, by the statute in question, a Chinaman can ride in the same passenger coach with white citizens of the United States, while citizens of the black race in Louisiana, many of whom, perhaps, risked their lives for the preservation of the Union, who are entitled, by law, to participate in the political control of the state and nation, who are not excluded, by law or by reason of their race, from public stations of any kind, and who have all the legal rights that belong to white citizens, are yet declared to be criminals, liable to imprisonment, if they ride in a public coach occupied by citizens of the white race.”

This is the portion of his dissent that usually gets cut out when people quote Plessy. Hardly the civil rights hero you allude to.
IMHO, they may be healthier than eating only white bread, but "recently been found to be superfood" is a euphemism for "this food now has enough consumers in your country to bootstrap a self-sustaining PR cycle."

> You don't have to be a CEO or a professional hockey player to be successful

That person breaking rocks at the quarry would be a lot less successful if he didn't work hard. Having this cynical attitude that hard work is not rewarded is a real sign of privilege. It's not an option for most people, and their life would be considerably more difficult if they don't work hard. Not everyone has parents nearby with a spare basement

It's a slick API, but it's worth noting that they come with significant runtime overhead. It may not matter for you depending on the type of app, but they create multiple times as many React component instances in memory and they force some extra work to be done on every render. Using them also means your CSS is blocked by your JS on initial load, instead of being a separate file that can be loaded and rendered in parallel.
While multimember districts would be a huge improvement, I wonder if we also should start having the conversation if geography based representation is the right approach for the internet age.

I for one, have more in common with a minority identity widely dispersed across the country but connected through the internet than I do my next door neighbors. My niche identity never gets proportionately represented in government because I'm overwhelmed by local majorities.
> There are almost always only 2 choices - the Democratic candidate and the Republican candidate.

We really need to get rid of the canonization of the party. If there are only going to be two candidates, let it be two individuals. The party shouldn't even be listed on the ballot. If you haven't done enough research to know which individual belongs to the party you support, then you haven't done enough research to vote. More individuals make this even better because it becomes a forcing function that forces people to actually learn about the individuals they are voting for and each individual's policies.

If I ruled the world, I'd go further and require a short 5 question pop quiz about the policies of the candidate you chose and you need 3 out of 5 questions correct for your vote to count.
Yes but enforcement is lax and fines are low.
In the world there exist more women then men - I think it's reasonable to assume that homosexuality and asexuality are pretty gender independent factors, so there are more women looking for a relationship than men. It isn't a ratio issue - with apps it's my opinion that the experiences they provide are inherently toxic and drive away a lot of the potential customers - but this isn't an issue with society at large.

I'm a bit skeptical of ranked choice voting- one of the key issues for the US that rarely gets discussed is that we can't use it to elect our President, due to the 12th Amendment, unless you're OK with the states selecting him/her instead. The 12th Amendment states that the Presidential winner has to have a majority of the Electoral College votes on the first round of voting- no multiple rounds- otherwise each state gets to cast one vote to pick who out of the top 3 candidates gets the job. (Yes it technically says 'the House' picks, but it's not the full House of Representatives- instead they give each state 1 vote).

I've presented this to various ranked choice voting enthusiasts, and have never heard a good response. Feel free to read the plain text of the 12th Amendment for yourself, it seems quite clear to me!

'The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.'

It sounds like normal business risk to me. If you're in any other business, you're counting on the economy doing what it does to facilitate people spending their money on your product, and in the meantime you're spending on overhead to maintain your retail store or whatever infrastructure you need. If there's a real problem there, you're out of pocket for the expenses you've risked having to pay. In this case though, you've invested in one of the most critical aspects of someone's livelihood. That presents a real problem for everyone if people can't afford to be sheltered, and as part of the system, if not someone actively worsening the system, you're kind of agreeing not to fuck it up for everyone.

I say "if not someone actively worsening the system" because if you're buying property with the exclusive intention to rent it, there's a decent chance you're just taking available property off the market and contributing to ever-increasing prices, even though the value of the property is kind of just fake number, which increases the need to rent (and be dependent on you) in the first place.

There’s nothing wrong with a monopoly. Exploiting a monopoly to do something bad — that’s illegal.

So now it comes down to who is the doing the bigger evil: unions allegedly hampering free market capitalism, or Amazon allegedly exploiting workers.
This example kind of falls apart with respect to the Olympics for an array of reasons. If you're looking at NCAA athletes, lots of those sports are not represented in the Olympics. Also, because spots in the Olympics are limited, the "best" person isn't always chosen to represent a given country for a given sport.
Correct. Data is collected. We detail that data and the privacy-preserving process by which it is collected at https://www.brave.com/p3a/. When you consider the type of data collected, it's clear why Brave is still identified as the "most private" browser among leading options: https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf. Everything we do is designed for user-privacy and security, first and foremost. No amount of data is worth breaking your trust.
I totally agree. I support the theory behind unions, but the practices by employers and unions make me wish for less coercion all around.

I think we both know the sanctions are not for the benefit of the planet. Also, real people suffer because of the sanctions, and you really shouldn't get to call the shots on who that is.
For me it’s been both.

Not to put aside the medication… it’s made me feel more like a normal functioning human capable of existing in a world. I don’t want to overemphasize this though because, while it saved my life, the other part made my life feel worth saving.

I’ve learned in the last couple years that almost all of the things I struggle with trace back to ADHD. My inability to take care of myself and my surroundings without fooling myself with rewards; my cognitive impairments around sensory issues; my endless stream of damaged friendships because I can’t respond to texts or emails or whatever; my whole upbringing of incompatible disappointments because my whole family probably has the same brain. So many things have an explanation even if it’s too late to correct a lot of it. And having an explanation has been immeasurably valuable.
I didn’t get that far in the essay, but experience shows that people who take their fandoms maybe a little too seriously are healthier, and certainly less dangerous, than people who take their religions a little too seriously. At least most of them know that these worlds are fictional. I have strong opinions about TOS being superior to any Trek that came after, but I’m unlikely to start a shooting war over it, or strap on a suicide vest.

This isn't very good reporting by NPR. The downsides they list are just straw men easily dismissed by RCV proponents, and they give an appearance of fair-and-balanced coverage while making opponents of RCV sound like Luddites. (It also seems like they got all their information from, say, chatting with people from FairVote and not by actually reading online discussions like this one here.)

RCV does have some serious problems. Eliminating the candidate with the least first-place votes at each round means a high probability of rejecting compromise candidates that may be a lot of voters' second choice. Also, placing your first-choice candidate first isn't always a safe choice. RCV is non-monotonic, which means it's possible that ranking someone first might actually cause them to lose. That's weird, and I think it's a good enough reason to investigate other options.

I think we should use approval voting in single-winner state and national elections. It's simple and it solves the problem of 3rd party candidates being spoilers (which is why most voting reform advocates dislike FPTP in the first place) without introducing any new problems. STAR is also a pretty good system.

Approval voting is currently used in Fargo ND and they recently adopted it in St. Louis as well.

There's a lot at stake when we change our election systems. I think one of the biggest risks is that we adopt RCV widely and then when people figure out that it's not actually all that great, they aren't going to want to try something different. They'll either say "democracy just doesn't work very well and there's nothing we can do about it", or they'll go back to FPTP because they were misled by a successful PR campaign that sounds like it has the backing of voting system experts. Voting systems should be changed rarely, and when it happens we should use the best available system, not chase the latest fad.

> With the Amazon Project, the Teamsters are taking a different approach that doesn't rely on the traditional National Labor Relations Board election process that allows employers to run sophisticated anti-union campaigns and involves the task of running elections warehouse by warehouse.

> Instead the Teamsters plan to focus on a series of pressure campaigns involving work stoppages, petitions, and other collective action to push Amazon to recognize a union and bargain over working conditions.

This is good. Even in the "good old days", labor in the U.S. won a rather Pyrrhic victory in that organizing became shoehorned in a narrow legal framework with narrow goals. It makes the decline of union power same rather inevitable.

This "going back to the roots", along with the tightening of the labor market we've seen lately, has the promise to attack that problem head-on rather than wishing it away.
