As someone learning stenography (but with a different keyboard) - try it and see, however your ability might be hindered without the right keyboard, key switches and keycaps.

I bought an ortholinear keyboard with DSA keycaps to get started, which is absolutely fine when you're chording fairly simple words, however once I reached a point where words involved chording multiple keys from the top and bottom rows - it started to become a little bit painful. After switching to F10 keycaps [1], it made a huge difference in the enjoyment of chording more advanced words.

I think one could easily imagine that sex work could be given a similar treatment like legal Marijuana. Obviously there are differences in these (for lack of a more useful word) 'vices,' but "normalization" for marijuana in the US does not mean free weed edibles as part of your comp package. It means it's shunned/controlled/a sort of deal breaker in professional settings, but more and more understood to be a choice people can make with their free time outside of work as long as it's safe, legal, etc...
I mean, if you gave a janitor $100,000 in cash would they come into scrub your toilet again tomorrow? Does that mean hiring a janitor is a crime with a victim?

Most everybody would behave differently if they had substantially more money. I know I wouldn't be working where I am if I didn't need a paycheck. But choosing a shittier job because it pays better is not victimization.

> In a lot of European countries, a robust social safety net is the great equalizer. You don't get locked up to work in order to afford healthcare, food, etc. - and are thus more free to take chances.

That is a great explanation in theory, but simply does not work out in practice. In order to support the safety net, the EU has to impose several regulations that remove the ability of people to 'take chances', such as higher taxes on business, paternity/maternity leave policies that cause parents to have fewer children, higher regulatory atmosphere, etc.

Whether it's in business, family, education, etc, the EU is not particularly excellent at any. America still has most of the world's large innovative companies, still has a higher birth rate, still has more VC money (and access to capital in general), and still has the best universities and best research institutions.

There's a middle ground: you can be honest if asked, but not volunteer negative opinions.
You're missing one: those who literally actually have the power have somehow been subsumed by a system into becoming powerless.

Ergo, if workers realized that their work was valuable and created a bloc, we can turn the tables (unions come to mind as well as brothels and other collectives which seek to harness their power). The trick is you have to know you're powerful.

And I'm not suggesting that's enough to solve the entire problem, but its enough to enable negotiations to continue improving the situation.
> It can be rendered on any operating system, but it is not the rendering language used for all platforms.

We could have this right now if iOS, Android, TVs, Windows, macOS, Linux, etc. all used HTML+CSS instead of their own toolkits. Yet they don't. Creating some fancy alternative is an even harder problem, since (a) that alternative needs to be designed and built and (b) all those same platforms will still need to switch, except we would also have to switch over the Web too.

This is a political issue, not a technology issue: it requires convincing a whole bunch of organisations to perform a costly change, for little direct benefit to them.

This would also be very easy to abuse via "embrace, extend, extinguish". Consider the history of word processors: everyone used the de facto standard (Lotus Notes) for compatibility. When Rich Text Format came along, underdogs like Word could read and write Notes-compatible documents. Once Word's market share rose, Microsoft "extended" the format so its documents could no longer be read reliably by Notes. Customers then switched to Word since it was "more reliable" at reading documents (i.e. it could handle the valid files produced by Notes, as well as the broken junk that Word produced).

Of course, Microsoft tried the same thing with HTML (badges like "Best viewed in Internet Explorer" became common precisely because IE did things in an incompatible way; I remember the relief among Web devs when IE7 came out, at its slight move towards compatibility!)

> if somebody commits a rape to act out sexual desires, then it is not because he didn't have access to prostitutes

I'd argue this is precisely the person who should not have access to prostitutes. Their existence, or our inability to adequately police them, is one of the stronger arguments against prostitution.
Not sure what your point is?

The argument presented was that height mattered more than skill. If that were true, the tallest players would also be the best, no? Instead, very clearly, the best players are usually _not_ the tallest, sometimes not even close.

That paper relies on some pretty dodgy data to reach its conclusion. Basically the UN's subjective classification is used unquestionably as the measure of human trafficking data. Just to be clear, it's not using objective data or accounting for the mis-measurement problem between legal and illegal countries.

Based on the dataset the study uses to reach its conclusions the US, Japan, and Israel are considered "very high trafficking" countries. Whereas Sudan, Sierra Leone, and Moldova are classified "very low trafficking". Does anybody in their right mind honestly think human trafficking is less of a problem in Sudan than Japan?

With that kind of dataset, you can reach any kind of conclusion you want. Garbage in, garbage out.

Are you sure the US failed here? From what I can tell we had a combination of technology to make a medical solution and the capital and drive to order enormous numbers of vaccine doses, to the point where we've been able to reopen (with thousands of people in close proximity without masks).

China is not in that situation. What they got right was initial containment (the US got that wrong, but that's because we had an ineffective leader and have a populace which is highly resistant to social control). The initial containment didn't completely help, because the chinese vaccine appears (I say appears because I'm not 100% sure yet) to be much less effective than Pfizer or Moderna, and China still has outbreaks that lead them to quarantine large sections of cities.

I don't think anybody really failed here. This was an event that the world partly prepared for for decades (vaccine tech, study related viruses) and partly ignored (our public health apparatus feels very slow and old now), and realistically, if we hadn't done what we did it woudl have been far worse.
You misunderstood. The people who presumably get 'hooked' aren't the workers, but the customers. People don't sell drugs as a pleasure act either.
That is such a stupid argument, lottery is one of the worst way to distribute a scarce resource. It is better to split it up and pay everyone dividends rather than give a few the whole thing. In the case of Facebook we would tax it to hell so everyone could share, not do a damn lottery so a few janitors can get rich. Of course that is if you are in the "distribute resources to the people camp", but I see no reason why a lottery would ever be the right thing to do here no matter what camp you are in, it isn't like the world would be better off if we had a lottery of who gets to inherit the billions of dollars the 0.0001% owns rather than distribute it.

So in short, the right thing to do is either leave facebook as is, or tax it so that neither its software engineers nor its janitors can earn much more than an average American.

I think this is great.

It seems to be a popular opinion on this site that ‘everyone should have a personal website’.. but I think the options available don’t make it a likely outlet for a lot of people because there is too much friction required for too little expressiveness. Even for technical people.

This project seems like fun, and that’s a great starting point.

I noticed when clicking around that it is set up so that ‘posts’ are always embedded within the multiverse site styling. This makes it have less of a ‘personal space on the internet’ feeling, but it does keep the experience more consistent, compared to if posts filled the whole page.

Was this a deliberate choice to encourage more ‘post-based’ creation and less ‘personal-site’ type creation? I am partial to the ‘personal-site’ approach but ‘post-based’ suggests other interesting options, like being able to ‘reply’ to one page with another page, and generally being a little more social
Just to add (and to maybe repeat what a few have said), those who may want to start playing who never have.

Although ball golf and disc golf share some of the same rules and name, don't get caught up in the trap that you need to have a bunch of discs to play. Unlike ball golf, you dont need a bunch of different discs for different distances. There are many times when you want to throw a high speed driver 100 feet, and even more times when you want to throw a putter off the tee.

One could get away with a starter pack for a good while, will come with fairly light weight fairway driver, midrange and putter. If you play much you will quickly get a feeling of what might be missing from that and start filling in the gaps.

You will often see people carrying around 20+ discs (I would fall into this category myself) but really if you were to look at my bag and watch me play much you'd see I probably throw the same 4-5 discs the vast majority of the time.

What usually ends up happening is you want to have a duplicate or 2 of the main discs, and maybe extra putters for practicing (or more so, throwing putters vs putting putters) and then will also have some more niche discs such as a roller disc (very understable) or super overstable discs (playing in headwind, or short approach you want a skip and to move left (right hand backhand) right (right hand sidearm) quickly.

But most of these things will be course dependent, and also not really mechanically useful until you have played quite a bit.

yeah that's fair. I'm against trans women who haven't been on hormones for long enough competing in women's sports, and against trans men who are on hormones competing in women's sports. I think if a trans woman managed to completely skip first puberty then they'd probably be fine, since they were never exposed to cis male levels of T, but that's a pretty rare situation for now. for high school sports, I'd be a lot more lenient - something like just being on hormones for a year, since the stakes are lower than the Olympics and it's more of a social opportunity.

but even if we disagree on the specifics of this issue, I'm glad to know there's people like you. thank you!
This is a great take and is simultaneously optimistic and pessimistic. I think you're optimistic about the right things though in that getting stuff done at an individual level has never been more valuable. Likewise, learning facts in an academic setting has never been less valuable. School teaches and kids learn, but it doesn't teach the right stuff anymore.

> Sports are important. Being competitive is important. Having hobbies is important.

Even if I agreed with these unexplained assertions, none of this justifies collegiate varsity sports in the face of all the obstacles it places on the primary objective of university education, or indeed, the oddity of placing SAT scores and minimum GPAs as a barrier to professional athleticism.

Your thesis seems to be professional sports are a priori important, and until we can replace varsity sports that feed professional leagues with a non-affiliated minor league, varsity must not be allowed to end. But there's really only one professional league I can think of that absolutely depends on the NCAA for athlete training, and we all seem to agree they can afford to solve this threat to their highly profitable existence; Congress has even granted them an antitrust exemption so it seems entirely fair society demands they develop a solution.
I don't think limiting swipes will fix it - the issue is more on the selection side (who women choose to swipe) than on the seeking side.

The reason men swipe a lot is because even with that most get few matches (~0). If you limit their swipes then most will never get matches and they'll stop using the service.

Bumble solves little, many 'initial' messages from women are ".", "hi", or ":)". It's basically equivalent to a match where the men have to initiate contact. The pre-selection winner-take-all issue is still there.

I think you can't fix it via apps - because the issue is upstream sexual selection that's been in place for thousands of years. It's good to have an honest view of it though because it lets people navigate it rather than becoming bitter and miserable.

Even if you had an app where men make profiles and don't swipe at all, one where women just select people and then men get notified - you still end up with only the top 2% of men getting selected and women would have to notify someone they're interested who may not have mutual interest or message them back (a rejection of the type mutual swipe matches are supposed to avoid).

Also, I think at least some women like having hundreds of matches because it's a nice self-confidence ego boost (I think complaining about this is 'high-status' humble bragging). If you took that away I suspect they'd also use the service less. Most women don't want to actually be the pursuers (a lot of men don't want to be either probably, but don't have a choice) - sexual selection doesn't work that way among most other mammals, humans are probably not an exception. If you try to force it with an app I'd doubt it would work.

So this doesn't solve the underlying issue, and economically wouldn't work because men that drive income for dating sites wouldn't have much of a role to play beyond creating an account and waiting (even though functionally this is basically the action they're doing anyway for the most part on the other services).

Men need to play to their strengths - online dating turns you into a commodity competing entirely on looks. If you're not going to win in that arena (and 98% won't), get out.

TeXmacs is great (probably best-in-class). However, my biggest gripes with it is how non-portable the TM files are. The only tool that works with these files is texmacs itself. In particular, you can't even convert these files without the full texmacs GUI/runtime. Pity, since I would love to use it as a markup language.

I am actually unclear on what you mean by "Do". You seem to be using it in a very general sense, as in people who do something, anything, are better off than people who do nothing. That seems pretty obvious, movement is the very definition of work after all. However, the very vague way in which you talk about "Doing" creates a kind of Rorschach test where your readers can take any meaning they would like. So what is it, exactly that you mean? What sort of specific actions should a person take to raise their station in life? What about people not "doing"? Can you describe their life?

>The kind of strict-enforcement situation the OP describes actually seems like a tidy to solution to the problem of prohibiting prostitution without crating a trap for women in a trafficking situation.

That's a good point, but if the government is going to do that they should be above board about it.

Presumably the law was sold to the public and legislators as applying to pimping under the everyday definition. Calling everything pimping is abusing the law, just like in the US where calling everything interstate commerce so that the Federal government can control it is abusing the law.

And if you passed law A, you shouldn't get to interpret it as law B and say that that's okay because law B is a tidy solution to a problem.

I think you're missing the point. There appears to be no aboveboard legal prostitution in Sweden, nor is that what the law envisions. Rather all prostitution involves someone committing a crime (the John), and the law has chosen to not directly punish one party because that leads to undesirable outcomes in cases where that party wasn't willing participating.

There is no trap, if you don't break the law, and don't help other people break the law, then you aren't involved in the industry at all.

I'm not going to take a position on whether or not prostitution should be legal, but pretending that prostitution is currently completely legal when it always involves a crime doesn't seem like a good argument.

I think legal sex work would be liberating - if it were possible to guarantee consent.

But in practice, really consential sex work is too expensive, which is why there are criminals willing to force sex workers to work for a lot less and pocket most of the difference. And when prostitution is legal, the police can't really tell the difference. You can't ask the women, they've either been brainwashed or threatened enough.

The johns don't want to know either, even though they are raping the girls every time.

That's the background of Sweden's prostitution law. Assume exploitation, because you can't prove its absence.
