I'm always a bit skeptical that these studied may use current differences in earnings by education to estimate losses in earnings in a context where everyone has had a similar experience of decreased time in school. A lot of the earnings benefits of education are positional, for example being in the top 10% carries benefits and opportunities, regardless of the overall level of education of the top 10%. Looking at current/past differences in earnings by years of school or abilities would probably not be an accurate estimate of losses that will occur to everyone with a similar difference in their education.

I don't know what to do about medical issues (exacerbated by stress and poor sleep) that interfere with working. If I stay at my job, maybe I can use the insurance to help deal with them. If I go to an early startup, that will increase stress temporarily, but maybe the equity gains will be enough to afford to retire. Or maybe I just need to leave software altogether because of the health issues associated with being at a desk all day.

And then back the main drive up to FOUR thumb drive backups.
Reasons:
(1) USB drives are huge now. (2) Convenient - can move from one PC to another easily. (3) Convenient - I do NOT have time to mess with other solutions. (4) Safety - valuable financial stuff almost always OFFLINE reducing hacker vulnerability. (5) All PCs eventually fail - I'm old and have a collection in my basement - plus I have two fairly new ones awaiting repair in my home office right now.
Only disadvantage - I do have multiple legal copies of Microsoft Office on multiple PC to make moving thumb drives around practical.

@brobdingnagians raised a question on genetic discrimination based on COVID-suceptability, which of course got downvoted into oblivion. But this is indeed an issue and a tough gray line to walk as technology continues to advance. (It's probably more like a fractal than a line.)

In the US, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) may be of some tiny value on the particular point raised.
I'm perfectly fine with a more casual tone but I think plenty of authors are conflating conversational writing with being "hip" by peppering the text with internet lingo.

And before someone rushes to say "Apple bad", this affects everyone, even Raspberry Pi (although in HDMI): https://hackaday.com/2019/11/28/raspberry-pi-4-hdmi-is-jammi.... The problem is in the cable not having enough shielding (since the modern standards like USB 3 series and HDMI 2 series actually operate at GHz frequencies, and WiFi et al. operates at the same frequencies, effectively turning the cable into a broadcasting antenna). The only wire standards which mandate shielding at all are twisted-pair wiring (used in Ethernet) and coaxial cables.

This silly: the post-9/11 overreaction was condemned because it was based on implausible threats, ineffective (remember how routinely auditors got weapons through?), and extremely expensive both in time and procurement. Terrorism vaguely defined also has no endpoint or exit conditions.

In contrast, we’re in the middle of a pandemic which has claimed millions of lives, and measures like masks and vaccination are cheap and have minimal downsides. There is no credible reason to believe anyone will continue restrictions when the pandemic is finally over. Vaccination gives us a clear exit path and a robust treatment will only accelerate that.

The author’s argument for children is a similar bit of emotion pretending to be reason. Children die less frequently, although Delta is hitting harder, but long-term complications are nothing to be cavalier about simply because the scientific evidence doesn’t support your lifestyle preferences. Going by the published stats and 50M under 12, letting COVID run rampant still means thousands of dead children (just in the United States), hundreds of thousands of kids with cases severe enough to require hospitalization, and at least an equal number with long-term effects we’re just starting to study. Wearing a mask and only dining outdoors for a few months longer seems like a much better option.
On the flip side, $3B is a lot more than it would have cost Oracle to keep supporting the platform. Having worked on a product that at one time or another supported Windows (including IA64), VMS (including IA64), and thirty-one flavors of Unix (including HP-UX and Linux on IA64), the marginal cost of continuing to support a platform is not that high. Sure, if the demand isn't there, we drop it, and we have dropped a lot of platforms over the years, including VMS and everything IA64. If HP claimed the demand was there, and furthermore claimed a contract required us to keep going, it would be a no-brainer. I don't get it. I mean, it's Oracle, so I get it, but I don't get it.
Just because this guy doesn't clearly understand technical debt doesn't mean that his experience is universal. This sounds like something an MBA would write.

If you're an experienced (or even somewhat inexperienced) developer working on projects of even minor complexity or in a domain you don't quite understand, you know exactly what technical debt is, and probably have plenty of it.

If you buy housing all cash the appreciation and rent (net of expenses) could easily hit 9% per year. If you mortgage it you do pay interest which lowers the yield, but also need to factor in the increase in principal, and that the appreciation is net of your down payment + interest, not the entire sticker price (eg a 10% down purchase of a $1m home financed at 3% that appreciates 6% is actually a 30% yield).

> there is a lot of sexism in home repairs

My wife did bathroom remodeling for a bit last year; she got some incredibly stupid examples of that from both customers and contractors, stuff you'd expect in a kindergarten. One of her contractors sent messages to others in the business in two counties about her employing a black man and how it would lower the standards of the trade to work with her.

Both my wife and her employee had known these people (the local contractors) for years from serving them at a hardware store, but going from retail clerk to independent business in their area made it an entirely different thing.
Just that easy huh? Housing-first programs work well for people who are willing to be housed and treated. But if the housing comes with any rules regarding substance abuse, many of these people will refuse it. Some others will agree but then destroy whatever housing they're given, or they revert to crime. These aren't exceptional cases; like I said before, somewhere around half of homeless people are addicts, and a signifanct proportion have severe mental health issues. We can throw as many resources as we want at trying to treat people who refuse treatment, and house people who continually sabotage themselves, and still end up in a situation where the streets (or prison) remains the end game.

I've seen a lot of this first hand. I can see you have strong opinions, but I would encourage you to actually learn a bit about it, maybe volunteer at a shelter or with a treatment and placement organization.

Somehow 'me' cought myself sometimes observing older people parrotting problems unfiltered, with no solution... or at least problemes with no easy solutions...

The last time someone grasped in front of my screen about mental illness, the _easy_sollution_ was 'change only one thing in your life,', 'to not overload' and the praised solution came easy as words can sound, 'just try to change "your sourrounding"; your job, food and consume, your home and do sports -to be member in a team- and to make new relationships...'

With other words: 'Some people want to give you a taste in form of a free trial', but that may be their 'business model' -what seems to be life (?!) ^^

He keeps talking about cost-benefit analysis. He never explores the fact you can't have a cost-benefit analysis when you have information that is A) untrustworthy, B) constantly changing, or C) conflicting. In that situation, people are going to be either too safe or not safe enough, depending on what "team" you're on relative to them. Nobody can be right. We can spend all our time reading criticisms such as this one all day long and never get anywhere.

Milspec ratings may be marketing speech but they've really been tested for dust and water integression - keyboard actually has a design to channel water spills away from the most fragile bits.

I've never tested it, fortunately, but it's still good to know _some_ manufacturers design for other things than getting their customers to replace their products ASAP as the warranty runs out, also (on top of the worst possible motherboard layouts) by making it as hard as humanly possible to repair third party.

I'd really like to hear an informed take on this, but I think it's interesting the state has so much power over a billionaire. Is it because political/party power > wealth in China?

My Western intuition conflates the two in that wealth generally provides access to power in all its forms, but I can think of a number of times throughout history where the state can requisition personal wealth at will (don't quote me, I'm no history buff).

It falsely implies that Amanda is partially guilty for one (from the article):

> Turns out, she asked the killer to help her get rid of her roommate. She didn’t mean for him to kill her, but her request indirectly led to the murder. How do you think that impacts my reputation?

they're not mututally exclusive, they're orthogonal. If people want moral goods, capitalism will (imperfectly) skew towards providing them. If the people want trash, capitalism will (imperfectly) skew towards providing trash.
Melting down mountains and creating millions of tons of toxic waste all for the sake of batteries to save the environment was already questionable at best. Burning them into even more tons of toxic fumes is just adding insult to injury.

Off that topic, I suspect they aren't putting out the fires because the water and foams required would destroy the nearby battery electronics and set back the project timetables.
>It’s clear that the filmmakers have no legal obligation to Knox (and she acknowledges as much in the article)

I think you and she are being generous. Amanda 'jokingly' floats the idea of defaming and slandering Matt Damon under the guise of fictionalization. She makes an excellent point-- Matt wouldn't put up with that. The only plausible distinction he can make is that his movie is not a gross distortion of the moral character of a living person, which seems like the sort of thing courts can and do sort between litigants who cannot agree.
I disagree that the concept that "Capitalism and moral obligation are mutually exclusive" is a valid concept to even consider. They are certainly orthogonal, but do not exclude each other.

Capitalism isn't a philosophy for living life, or if it can be considered as such, it's definitely not a complete one. In contrast, Communism is a philosophy for life, as it extends beyond the economic sphere and into the political and social.

How you organize work and trade is not the complete picture. The continued assertions that "Capitalism is immoral" as a valid viewpoint, versus just being ammoral, are part of why both corporations have been allowed to run amock and why dangerous philsophies like Communism have been on the rise again.

Find experiments using the same instruments, and you can compare raw numbers, sometimes.

But, to get a general idea: just look at the values they got across their population, remove any extreme outliers, and put it next to some chart using units you want to convert to. Make sure they are on the same scale (i. e. linear or log). The mean and other quantiles should correspond.

Or, depending on what you're looking for, just eyeballing fig. 1 (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/medrxiv/early/2021/06/24/202...) itself might be enough. It shows (little surprise) that the bulk of measurements cluster in "safe" territory. That asignificant number of people show stronger reactions than that bulk, by sometimes orders of magnitude, but don't derive (much/yet) additional protection from it. And that a number of individuals show a weak response and are at risk, without that group being distinct from the rest in any specific way. Rather, it's a continuum
It's pretty prevalent in corporate general counsel. I've heard the same thing from at least 5 company's I've worked at so I had never done my own research like you have. I figured it was truth. I do not think they are anti-vaxxers but they are conservative people that like to avoid litigation and I believe the laws were a bit ambiguous before this COVID specific clarification was issued by HHS.

I've never heard of any employer asking for any health information of their employee unless it's like a doctor's note saying they were fit to work or something similarly vague.

Prior to COVID, if you asked an employee for, say, proof of HIV negative. And they actually gave you proof of HIV positive. Anything that happens afterwards (termination, promoting another employee, denial of PTO, etc) the employee can sue you because they believe you are discriminating on their HIV status. IANAL and don't care to research it myself but I've heard this sentiment repeated countless times in meetings with senior HR and Legal executives, so I believe it true.

All said, I do work in the healthcare industry. So maybe the HIPPA laws for our patients have been applied to our employees and there is some mixup around that. Either way, after 20 years in the industry this is news to me, appreciate the discourse.

Mind most of the lawyers in any corporation are responsible for "daily business" like contract negotiations with customers or routine operations in HR or deal with acquisitions or whatever the company does.

Only few deal with actual court cases. Now many of those court cases are very specialized and you don't keep all those experts on payroll, thus you go out contracting specialists. To some degree you also want to have a firewall by using external people who can dig up dirt without you doing it directly. However also the lawyers on your paywall don't work for free but produce cost ...
