I think you're framing the supply chain in a very personal (strawman) way.

The problem is just one of "efficiency". The production is not perfectly aligned with where people are willing to spend money. A purely efficient market exists only in theory / textbooks / Adam Smith's Treatise.

The chips that roll off a fab are not done. They aren't "burning crops". Perhaps they are abandoned (not completed) perhaps because they need to recoup or save resources to focus on finishing and shipping the working (full core) products. They aren't driving their trucks of finished products into the ocean.

1CAD will also always be 1CAD. People who live in Canada are paid in CAD, people who live in America are paid in USD. The currency and PPP conversions smoothed out those differences for comparison purposes. I selected a mid-band senior Shopify role in Toronto denominated in CAD as the comparison and ran the appropriate adjustments.

In the US, RSU vesting is considered ordinary income and taxed accordingly, this was considered and included.

[edit] I believe in Canada, RSU vesting is also ordinary income, but if not then treating them as a capital gain will substantially reduce the tax burden for Canadians.

I disagree. A product might be visually appealing, serve hundreds of functions, be inexpensive, be sturdy, etc.

These are all things that affect whether a product could be perceived as good vs. bad.

Importantly, intuitiveness is not relevant for some products, or not what makes it good or bad. The tradeoffs between other aspects of your product could be such that trying to achieve intuitiveness would actively reduce value.

Identifying intuitiveness as something you can optimize for or not is not pointless. I'd also argue that intuitiveness can be measured and strategies for more intuitive designs/patterns can be formed.

I'm suggesting that if a company has designers that know their product, branding, team members, philosophies, values, and that have proven quality of work and ability to get along with the team, that they not eliminate their position because there isn't any design work needed _right now_. When you do need design work, you don't want to have to go through the trouble of hiring, on boarding, etc.

The same applies for software engineering.

There are just shy of an infinite of investments and investing strategies that have beat the s&p in average returns for decades on avg you can construct with historical backtest data without foresight (ie not just picking the winners given hindsight). There are published papers presenting these.

In your perspective, is getting rich (or even just doing better than the index over any time period) just a matter of time or luck with no room for any skill? Because the index fund beating all other investments would have that conclusion.

It is true that evidence suggests past infection + vaccine is best. But the evidence also shows that antibodies from past infection are superior to two shots of Pfizer which the majority of people were rolling with maskless just fine.

So regarding option a, it’s moreso the case that there’s no legitimate reason TO bother with the vaccine if you have those antibodies already. A marginal improvement at best over what is already better than two shots of Pfizer, is not worth the long-term unknowns to me.

> In your opinion, what are most philosophers about?

Disclaimer: My main source of knowledge about this for the last 10 years is HN posts.

It seems to me modern philosophy is very useful for the person who study it -- a large number of people who studied that claim that studying it helps them to organize their thoughts, and even help with "living a better life".

Unlike many other sciences, philosophy makes no working predictions regarding real world, nor it is useful to non-philosophers. It only benefits people studying it. (Compare with physics for example: one may not be a physicist and have no idea how electricity works, but they still use electric light every day).

Few centuries ago, philosophy was much more -- it was covering all natural sciences. There are still leftovers of that usage (the PhD degree; the jurisprudence being called "philosophy of law") but they have little relation to modern philosophy -- all the stuff which affects real world got their own type science.

Sometimes philosophers forget about two previous paragraphs and try to apply their knowledge to external world -- like in this post that we are discussing. The results are normally hilariously wrong.

Another example is [1], a philosopher who has a "solution to all the paradoxes of the infinite" which apparently has 0 citations and he does not care. This looks like a completely broken science field to me, so I can only hope that he is an exception and other philosophy departments are much better.

Exactly, I hate seeing discussions about "peak fertility," especially since the people posting about it usually don't know it's more like 30. [0] And more than that, the risk of complications is much higher for teenagers. [1] A relevant quote:

> Adolescent mothers (ages 10–19 years) face higher risks of eclampsia, puerperal endometritis, and systemic infections than women aged 20 to 24 years, and babies of adolescent mothers face higher risks of low birth weight, preterm delivery and severe neonatal conditions. (4)

And just because you might be in the "peak fertility" period doesn't mean you should rush to have children. If you are not ready for kids, they will suffer for it, and none of the girls I knew who got pregnant in high school were mature enough to handle a child and finish school (much less the fathers), so their parents and grandparents had to step in and do most of the parenting.

These kinds of discussions, especially combined with the evolutionary biology pseudoscience, really remind me of the way incel forums talk about women. Especially with the interesting absence of any mention of men's fertility, which also peaks around 30. [0]

> Maybe these things are social constructs, but if they are then we surely must come to the conclusion that almost everything we care about in the world is a social construct.

That's the point really. And it's not inherently a value judgement to say something is a social construct. Using it as a value judgment usually is meant to convey that some secondary attributes are not inherent, or even more so, just historical by-products and might need rethinking or recontextualisation. Being a woman and being of the female sex might seem to be identical, but womanhood is not the same as having a certain genomic makeup, and therefore womanhood is obviously a social construct. The video above even outlines how female-Ness might be considered a social construct but I'm not smart enough to explain that to you where abigail will do it much better.

>How on earth do you make any morality based policy calls based on this data?

Well, you make those calls by looking more deeply into data than a country level map. In the US, the majority of states are at or near the point where vaccine supply is higher than demand. [1] The people that wanted vaccines got vaccines and the majority of the unvaccinated are that way by choice. We also know that over 98% of covid hospitalizations are those very same unvaccinated [2], showing that even with breakthrough infections, the vaccine is still very effective at preventing “serious” cases of covid. At The same time, we have a 25% reduction in the estimated available vaccines worldwide through the end of the year and poor countries that are reliant on vaccine aid delivered by rich nations have received a fraction of what was pledged. [3]

Giving boosters to people in rich countries that are already highly protected and not at risk of significant illness and death while failing to send aid to provide any protection at all to the most vulnerable population is not exactly a morality based policy. Using vaccination rates of people that have access to vaccines and choose not to get them (and are dying based off that choice) as justification for this is ignorant at best, immoral in itself at worst.

I use public transportation to get to work when it snows (or did, before WFH). My 20-minute drive is an hour-long bus ride, assuming the buses are on time and my route is running that day. Longer if I have to find a connection. Longer if I miss the connection.

I've got food in easy walking distance. A grocery store (two, if you count Wal-Mart) and a dozen fast-food restaurants. Clothes are mostly clear on the other side of town, unless we do our shopping at Wal-Mart. Same for about half the groceries we buy. My kid's school is in walking distance, which is a plus.

Where we live now, the car's definitely a massive want, even if it's not a strict need. My spouse is really pushing for a move back to Southern California, and the implied greater reliance on automobiles that it implies.

Never really changed my idea. When it was the only thing around I hyped it to my friends tho. I think it’s a clever solution to freely transact illegal goods - any scarce resource that people want it’s good against inflation or gov’s mishaps. Obviously wood or lithium is not as easily stored or sold as bitcoin, but at least you know the price won’t plummet in 12months.

As for speculation I came to think that if you wanna buy crypto, you might as well buy exchange tokens since they have Some intrinsic value and are still somewhat correlated to bitcoin’s ups and downs.

IMO, the next major war won't be fought with missiles and bullets. No democratic government will want to mass-murder citizens. I think the next major war will be cyber.

By targeting infrastructure that directly affects citizens, adversaries can influence the democratic process.

* If any of these COVID measures are later abused by Government then the citizenry has full rights to object in every way possible. Government has absolutely no right to take advantage of this tragic heath problem and it is incumbent on citizens to ensure that it does not.*

It is naive to think this way. By then it will be too late. They are building tyrannical systems of enslavement in the name of public health because obviously they wouldn’t openly say they want to enslave you.

Waiting for them to build the systems before you evaluate if they’re abusing their power must be some kind of preemptive Stockholm Syndrome from a citizenry that deep down can sense what is happening but finds itself powerless or too afraid to speak up. And so they just eat their own by failing to be critical and cautiously paranoid at the right time.

One of the other things to point out is that race doesn't correlate all that well with genetics in humans. People who would be described as black have so much genetic diversity that there can be no reasonable argument that there's a genetic basis for their racial label. Certain health conditions or biological differences often have to make far more specific categories than race.

```To calculate the 10th percentile, let’s say we have 10,000 values. We take all of the values, order them from largest to smallest, and identify the 1001st value (where 1000 or 10% of the values are below it), which will be our 10th percentile.```

Isn't this contradictory? If we order the values from largest to smallest and take the 1001st value, then 10 % of the values are above/larger and not below/smaller. I believe it should say order from smallest to largest.

"But I take higher ground.

It’s very important for the planet and us that big companies make these bold public claims. It means we can (attempt to) hold them accountable; that other companies will try to follow; that people like you will get annoyed an push harder for more material changes through your wallet, lobbying or action. Apple will do _some_ work in this arena and it will shift the needle less than we need at first glance, but it is phenomenal marketing for the movement.

As a Texan I'm obligated to concur on whataburger however if I'm being truthful their consistency is all over the map too. I'm pretty sure it's a result of store level execution and management. Oddly enough, I find the best ones are those located in pit stop towns between the major cities. They get enough traffic to stay fresh, they probably have low turnover, and the manager might be making a career of it. That how I rationalize it anyhow.

> Plus, the idea that we can remove such small, noisy confounding factors is just silly. We need to look for the things that stand out from that noise floor

We have found most of them, and all the easy ones.

Science needs to keep separating things from the noise floor. Some of them become important once we understand it.
