Current understanding is that the practice isn't harmful (safety) and may benefit (efficacy), the two key concerns of drugs trials. See (from August 12, 2021):

WHO was recommending against as of July, 2021, though based on a lack of evidence rather than evidence of harm or lack of efficacy.

"We don't know" alone is not a valid reason for discouraging a practice where there's no clear indication of harm and where understanding is being actively developed. There's an absolutely valid basis for taking a probablistic risk-based approach based on likely benefits vs. costs.
Hmmm. The top 1% nationally is somewhere between $500k and $700k annually. Even here in SF, you can live in a nice house for that kind of dough.

Did you mean top 10%? Now you're down to about $150k. I do think a two income household at that level can manage it, but it's surprisingly difficult and maybe not worth it when you have kids and both parents have demanding jobs.

I hope that's not a nitpick. I agree with your list and what you've said, I just think that the top 1% isn't the threshold.
I switched from jekyll to elder.js.
I live fairly rural. My wife and I both have degrees in MINT disciplines. With both of us working full-time, the best house we could currently afford would be older (and in a worse condition) than the one my parents bought for themselves when they were young, my dad had a medium-income job, and my mom was working only half days.
Exactly. These are power law economics vs index funds uniform distribution of rewards - but that’s a relevant caveat!

The trope of “should’ve just put your money in the index” is an implicit suggestion that index funds are the best place for it, but it should be noted that perhaps index funds are the best place unless you’re willing to undergo the effort to obtain the premium in returns considering the fact that those market beating returns aren’t uniformly distributed.

The lottery analogy doesn’t map here because there are no lottery firms, there are no lottery syndicates, there is no lottery-playing industry on the buy side because you’ve correctly noted there is no repeatable process to generate profits. There is with venture capital and angel investing because there ARE repeatable strategies to generate profits - and many do.

Instead of trying to stay under the TL;DR word limit, I think instead you should focus on answering why you believe this:

"I might still wonder that this is still wrapped up in evolutionary psychology"

is a more useful frame of reference than, say, a model of addiction:

Do we gain any explanatory power by adding untestable hypotheses to the existing body of work about how society constructs /impossible to realize/ standards for both boys and girls.

To your question, yes, girls and boys are socialized differently in our culture, and thus they will be exposed to different social media, pressures, and expectations from the moment they are born. However, I don't think you need to immediately reach for evolutionary psychology to explain this.

The underlying pressure, in my view, is the pressure to sell objects that relieve the dissonance that 'influencers' and ad writers amplify.

Evolution certainly made us (regardless of gender) susceptible to this kind of influence, but culture determines which of our insecurities weaponized and how.

See also: brain pills, protein, and cars for predominantly male audiences.

Would these same kinds of pressures have existed in the tribal circumstances under which we evolved?
Sure, but they'd have been way way way less potent.

I also don't think evo psych tells us that our current societal structures are pre-determined or inevitable. If anything, we've been taught again that human brains are remarkably flexible and even relatively light social pressure from social media can cut against the grain of other fundamental biological tendencies, like self-preservation.

But you don't have money, because money is expensive.
It means that someone that is considered high revenue earning via a job is priced out of the market, but if you have pre-existing assets you can hedge/borrow against them to get more.

It's also another way of wealth, many people assume having high revenue via salary/compensation is a good sign of wealth, but it's not.

Per [1], the minimum income to be part of the top 1% of income earners is $538k / year. I find it incredibly hard to believe you cannot afford to own your own home with that level of income, even in the biggest cities in the US.

What level of income are you considering here, and what house price do you feel is approachable with that income level?

> The only argument I can think of against it is: Certain vaccine skeptic people might be incentivized to catch the virus on purpose.

I think that's a pretty important argument against allowing natural immunity in lieu of vaccination. A lot of people will go and deliberately infect themselves. Some of them will die. They will spread it to others. Many will tie up ICU beds, doctors, nurses and other hospital resources, causing tons of first- and second-order harm.

Without any special preparation my apple watch will last a full day of hiking while recording the GPS/heart rate/etc. (i.e. 5-7 hours hikes in the mountains.)

Cellular, on the other hand, can drain the watch relatively quickly. Mine lasts 2-3 hours when streaming music from the cloud and relaying to bluetooth headphones during a workout (i.e. when it can't piggy-back off the phone's cellular.)
There's no evidence that having the vaccine stops you from developing natural immunity if you have a breakthrough.

If the vaccine fails you then you will get covid (like you would have in the same situation without vaccine) and will develop natural immunity then.
This is a purely aesthetic change, it doesn't break any habits. In this case, it probably also improves usability, because there's less visual noise connected to those buttons, which lets you draw attention to buttons the user might not already know about using the same technique while staying within a certain 'visual noise budget'. Users expect that icons on the header bar are buttons (what else would they be?), so there's no need to call attention to that fact with an extra visual indicator.

"Following trends" is a good thing because users appreciate when a piece of software looks like software they're already familiar with. It is maybe slightly annoying to people who already are used to the software, but every new user benefits from it.

That's a gentle way of putting it.
I'm also curious about this. I'm not even in the top 10% for the US and I own a home. I know multiple people who make noticeably less than me who also own homes. And there are multiple nearby cities where people who make even less still also own homes.

My guess is that either the definition of "super rural" being used here is overly broad (like for example anywhere outside of new york city ... ) or they're living in some ultra high cost of living area.
lolwut? A top-1% income is north of $400k nationally. That buys plenty of house in most places. You could take a 50% pay cut and still be fine in suburban DC.

EDIT - OP edited their post to say "1% within age group, more like 10% overall". That's still likely a $100k+ annual income. I'd suggest buying a house is still possible on that income, just perhaps not across the street from Apple or Amazon offices.

This isn’t going to be a popular comment, yet, it has to be said because it is painfully obvious reality escapes some.

Here it goes:

The poor do not elevate the poor out of poverty.

If you want to chip away at poverty you have to create incentives for entrepreneurs, investors, business people and, yes, the rich, to engage in favorable economic activity. One of the simplest ways to do this is through the tax code. As much as I hate using taxation to promote behavior, that’s the best way we know so far.

We have lifted more people out of poverty through these methods than any other way.

Be careful what you wish for, because government has never, in the history of humanity, elevated the poor. Quite to the contrary.
Minimum wages and tax reductions should all be indexed. Plenty of things are indexed to go up annually based, so why not the few things that really matter be it indexed down for taxes and up for minimum wages.

Sinus flush can fuck up the balance in your nostrils, possibly increase the mucus production of the membranes. Which will encourage you to flush more "since you're washing out a lot of mucus, so the whole process working". It's a vicious cycle. Source: me.

This is probably referring to major cities like New York and San Francisco where the top 1% earners (Nationally) are. This is probably because the top 1% of earners in these states are in a bidding war.

Nonetheless, I agree there are some compelling arguments that, practically all homes will be driven to prices which are only sustainable by institutions and therefore there will be little American home ownership by citizens.
'Increasing fictional numbers on a computer screen through political intent' is the modern equivalent. I think everyone understands that, at this point...

In my experience, an income of $X lets you get a mortgage for a house worth ~$6X. Where do you live where $3m+ won't get you a house?

Honestly, I'm curious to see how long these gains can hold, both in the stock market and in housing. It is just bananas, and I say this as someone that has had both types of investments since the 1980's.

The crashes of 1987, 2000, and 2008 all had very clear causes. I wonder what is going to be the cause of the next crash. Or maybe I suffer from 20/20 hindsight.

EDIT #1 : If housing prices crater, I'm buying another one because history shows the market recovers. Same goes for index ETFs. So people like me sitting on a big cash position and paranoid AF will have some kind of balancing effect, no?

EDIT #2 : "hindsight" not "hindisight", heh.
TBH both approaches are just poor design of the object model. The one from my link is a clever but inefficient way to manipulate records (reflection), the one with Lombok is creating redundant interfaces without business meaning. A record with few business methods is lean enough and ensures that only valid transitions can happen.

The line about asking individual knowledge workers to optimize their own work hits me hard. I'm the only programmer in the office I work at. My boss has started telling people that they should take an hour every week to stop and think about how a small process can be done better/faster. The problem is that the longest and most important part of what they do isn't some manual task, but a mental process (they are digital artists). I doubt most people are going to intuitively solve the complexity of their own brains through introspection (as some early psychologists thought we could do). It's easier for me to 'optimize' because I can manipulate how a physical computer operates. It's hard for anyone to manipulate how their intuitive functions work besides slowly gaining experience and mastery.
When you don’t build housing, houses are expensive.
It's certainly not the same as it ever was. I think you're missing the distinction between "punching up" and "punching down". Punching up - taking aim at dominant power structures - is a necessary part of social advancement. Punching down is just cruel. Punching down used to be encouraged and celebrated, now it isn't, and some people are mad that they can't get away with it any longer.
This feels really obvious to me. Of course people just starting their adult lives wouldn't have had a chance to build up much savings / acquired an inheritance. Naturally they'll buy a house and start building equity in it before investing a huge amount into the stock market. As they get older, retirement accounts and home equity will grow, leading to older people having more wealth.

An intereting analysis would be to look at what this looked like for different generations adjusting for age (what did savings for baby boomers look like when they were in their 30s?).
The FDA and CDC are not involved in vaccine mandates. Even the coming federal mandate is through OSHA. They issue recommendations, but so do a lot of other influential people and organizations.

That said, this is a real phenomenon and worth bearing in mind when doing this type of reasoning.
> memory of using Java desktop apps in ~2001 where they ate a ton of ram, seemed horrendously slow,

Note that the horrible end user experience of running java programs (or java plug-ins in the browser) back in the day, never was indicative at all of how it's for running on servers and those kind of workloads. The stuff I've written in java for backends have been blazingly fast (compared to python for instance) and with much better tooling. So devs choose java/jvm because it works well, despite some shortcomings in some areas.

Btw, I think you'd find today's java desktop apps to be snappier than you'd think (especially compared to electron for instance). Bundling the jvm removes the hassle of having to install something separate and version issues. And AOT compilation and the new modularity of the stdlib makes the files smaller and quicker to load.

A phone is amazing for what it is, but you can't just pile on more features and use that as an excuse for lower pay. Phones don't cost a budget-breaking amount.

Home size makes sense as an increased cost, but most of the reasons that make it hard to afford living space are really bad reasons.

No, it's not at all. But, since that code needs to run in a formal container (app server) environment, the app server makers do classloader and renaming shenanigans to be able to load code from the earlier toolkits.

I'm glad you posted about this because I didn't know, but my reflexive response was 'well guess that won't work for [project idea], guess I'll roll my own or just use the NumPy version.'

I personally don't mind the lack of one-size-fits-all. If Pandas were to be part of the Python Standard Library I think you'd have a stronger argument, since the unspoken premise of a SL is that you can leave for a desert island with only that and your IDE and still get things done.
I assume the proposal is that the vaccine card would be a de-facto immunity card, where a test showing a high antibody count would still be logged on your card as an alternative to the vaccine.

But the devil's in the details anyways. How long would that be considered good for, since we'll probably be looking at regular annual boosters? Would extremist anti-vaxxers have a perverse incentive to get infected so as to rejoin society while avoiding the vaccine?

> Put a huge tax on vacancies and cap the number of residential properties a business is allowed to purchase in a year.

While I'm not opposed at all to these policies, they won't do anything to help you. Vacant homes are less than 10% of existing homes, we need far more than that to solve the problem.

The only thing, literally the only thing that will help you, is more homes.

I'm not sure why people are so resistant to this idea. We have been under building for decades in the places where people want to live, the places that are economically productive.

There's a lot of ways to get there, and though changing zoning to allow density and ban sprawl is necessary, it won't solve the problem alone.

We should also do things like slap a huge tax on the value of land to force people to stop hoarding their land, and use that tax money to fund a government builder that will act counter cyclically to current market cycles. The huge business cycle for the building trades means that it's an unstable job and it makes it hard to have a solid workforce. Having more steady building will allow for lifetime careers, for more experience to be gained, and hopefully for productivity increases.

As it is now, there's not even enough productive capacity in places like California to build the amount of housing that's needed. We need to attack the problem from many angles simultaneously.
So one in 500 Americans have died of covid-19 at this point. If you get vaccinated, your chance of death from this stupid virus drops by a factor of 10. But apparently these are not good enough odds for those of us who consider ourselves armchair epidemiologists doing the research so to speak.

So let's rephrase this. I just gave you a free ticket to Disney world. But what will make this trip to Disney world unlike any other trip you will ever have to Disney world is that for every 60 visitors I'm going to give a sniper a bullet. And that sniper gets to shoot anyone the sniper wants to shoot. Are you going to accept my free visit to Disney World?

Because basically one in eight Americans have had covid-19 to the extent that their case was recorded. And 1:61 of those people then died of it.

And and before you think I'm some sort of weird tyrant enabler, I support your right not to get vaccinated if you support my right to require you to be tested whenever you want to mix among the vaccinated.

But what's funny is when anti-vaccine ideology was considered part of one political party that sort of viewpoint was just fine but now it's some sort of Nazi Germany outlook because reasons or something. What changed? For bonus points please explain how this is consistent with getting a cavity search every time you want to fly or you hate America.

Individual paragraphs contain errors and awkwardness that looks like bad translation, while the overall structure seems meandering, like a not-great machine-generated piece. What's up with this source? (the actual content matches what I've read elsewhere for years now, re: declining same-age proportion of national wealth with each post-Boomer generation, but the presentation, oof)
I think the biggest issue is that a lot of people think they had covid previously but didn't get tested so they don't really know.

I thought I had covid early in the pandemic. Took a serology test and found out that I had not had it. I suspect a lot of people that think they had it are the same.
The sharpest segment on that graph is since July 2020. If you bought any time other than November 2004 - November 2007, it was cheaper than it's been in the past 14 months. If you already own a home and have equity you are probably fine. The GP was describing what it feels like trying to enter the market right now.
I'll settle at more than your 'major metros' and fewer than my 'most college towns' — although now that I think those two numbers over, it's probably not that large a delta to begin with ;)

All the rumors seem to point to them discontinuing the Mini line after the 13 Mini because of very poor sales of the 12 Mini(I heard they even stopped production of the 12 Mini for a while due to excessive stock). We won't know for sure until next year. I was planning to pick up the 13 Mini and selling off my 12 Mini so that I can lock in at least 5 years of support while I wait for Apple to come around again with another Mini in a couple years. I really hate large phones so the Mini has been wonderful.

The colors this year are lousy though. Seems like maybe they had some supply issues. :/
