Idea of hot having kids is socio-pathological ideology. Not having kids means more selfishness. Maybe more money. Big companies can profit from it. Familly with 5 kids probably wont need or even be able to buy Lamborghini. Also this idea is dead by itself, because basically just deny natural life.

Of course we don't need eat meat every day but stop eating meat completely sounds like hypocrisy for me and could be dangerous for health, especially for kids.
Well... I think meritocracy is perfect, it mirrors evolution in rewarding superior contributors(ie, on their merit). However, being in the "elite" mentioned in the article does not imply you have merit. People in that "elite" might have merit, but they might also just have rich/powerful parents, connections, and friends. If that's the case, then they aren't "elite" based on their merit, but based on who they know.

Thanks for sharing this. It was a good read and love the pragmatic view you take.
Agree, that discussion got so sidetracked by people speculating and not reading the PDF, maybe this will be better.
No, Brave does not display ads on publisher properties. Brave blocks trackers (which impacts most third-party ads), but does no in-situ substitution. First-party ads are generally untouched. Brave acts as a content-filter out of the box (similar to uBlock Origin), protecting the user and their data from third-party harvesters and more.

Brave does offer an optional feature called Brave Ads, which enables users to view privacy-respecting ads (as notifications, and high-quality New Tab Page wallpapers) for 70% of the associated revenue. This revenue (in the form of BAT rewards) can then flow out to verified publishers as a form of support. No user data is collected; ad-matching happens on-device, and in accordance with user-specified constraints.
No, they're not a superset. You can have events with a very low probability and very little variance, events with very low probability and very high probability, higher probability with low variance, and high probability with very high variance.

Here's some random numbers,say for a hypothetical 100,000 hypothetical year long policies
low probability, low variance: E(total claims) := 20, V(total claims) := 1
low probability, high variance: E(total claims) := 20, V(total claims) := 20
higher probability, low variance: E(total claims) := 20,000, V(total claims) := 10
higer probability, high variance: E(total claims):= 20,000, V(total claims): 10,000

Premiums don't usually make their way into investing for a bit. They're used to cover claims and then business overheads and then even dividends first. First they go to claims, because there's usually regulations to prevent price gouging that require insurers to refund premium if the ratio of aggregate premium : aggregate claims gets too high (the regulation is on a state by state basis in the US). Then any remainder goes to any other outlay first, so that the invested money can be/stay invested into longer term investments. Only if those outlays can be completely covered by the premium (and i'm skipping over a few things like regulations regarding various levels of liquidity for different risk levels and other stuff) then yeah it can make its way over to the actual investment fund. But in general the business model for insurers is that underwriting profit, limited as it is by regulations, is primarily used for actually running day to day operations and isn't a reliable source for being turned over to the investing side. The investing side is primarily using the initial capitalization of the insurer and the returns from earlier investments.

One way of looking at insurance is that the insured is actually buying an option against the insured's capitalization with very limited exercise clauses, but the the insurer pays out exercised options with the money from other purchased options contracts.
At $100 oil, interest rates are going to be substantially higher. That’s going to crash this house of cards.

>I know some dumb Democrats and some smart Republicans. I hope that when Republican Party politicians are in office, they listen to the smart Republicans about things rather than the dumb ones. But I’d rather have a dumb Democrat win a Senate race over a smart Republican any day. Smarts just don’t matter that much.

I think Matthew Yglesias is saying "Republic is always a bad person and Democrat is always good".

If he could judge someone solely based on his political identity without examining that individual person's merits and character, it says a lot of his world view. Not surprised if he knows nothing about true Conservative principles.

I invite him to read China's history from 1930 to 1980, where he will find many like-minded Chinese communist fellows who also judge people solely based on their economic class and status. The "Cultural Revolution" would be an epic-reading for him.

In your example, you get your deposit back, as 190k covers the debt, extra 10k goes back to owner. (e.g. if 195k was sale price would recieve back 5k etc)
Swift supports default and objc doesn’t. This makes calls smaller. Swift also has argument hiding with the underscore before the parameter. Swift also ask variable arguments. Hiding named parameters and variable arguments make calls much smaller. My point stands.
I'm not sure I follow. Phoenix is also MVC and its request model is far simpler than Rails'. In Rails we have controllers, we have callbacks (or "filters" as they are called now), and we have "middleware". That's three concepts right there! In Phoenix, we have a connection struct that flows through a pipeline of "plugs". Plugs are just functions that transform said connection. Each part of the request pipeline is implemented as a plug. You can create your own plugs and "plug" them in where you see fit. Read more here: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/plug.html

Of course, LiveView isn't MVC in the classic sense, but it still uses plugs. Its goal is to simplify the SPA which I'd say it does a particular good job of.

Under capitalism, with that kind of price difference, someone else would move in and start manufacturing the same drug and selling it for less to gain market share. That's competition for you. Or if no one else wants to do the job you could just make it yourself. Cost and price are indeed two different things, but competition keeps the prices of goods down to a relatively low multiple of their manufacturing cost.

Unfortunately what we actually have, between patents and other monopolies the government has instituted on drug manufacturing and distribution, is nothing like capitalism.
You can request it, but you may not get the response you want
Average price of a new car currently is $41k. When you consider the total cost of ownership of an EV (which costs half the cost per mile to drive versus a combustion vehicle) over five years, it sounds like a financially reasonable decision. Also, with interest rates so low, it would make sense to pay more upfront for the vehicle when the operating costs are lower.
Hi Chris.

We've been using LiveView to build a new app at Precision Nutrition and are largely quite happy with it so far.

One concern we keep coming back to is that of the need for constant connectivity in order for the app to work. I'll throw up the disclaimer here that I've not spike on how to handle network disconnects. That said, we've had a few of our internal users lose their connection to the web socket, and the app just beach balls. You can't do anything. Another example we keep coming back to is a user going onto a subway.

How do you envision spotty connections being handled long term?
If gas jumped up by a buck a gallon my family would swap out our gas car for an EV (albeit one much more affordable than a Tesla) instantly. We’re planning to make the switch but it doesn’t make sense financially right now because of current car and gas prices.
Haha, I think that's a great analogy.

I would never stay at a Ritz Carlton and pay $1000 a night when I could stay at the motel down the road for $100.

I'm not waited on hand and foot, I have to do everything myself, but its done the way I like it, and I've saved myslef $900 as well.
I don't know if we can tell it for any particular star, but we can reason about large numbers of stars. We have a decent model of how stars must age, given their mass and composition; we have a decent model of how that composition must have evolved as the universe ages, so if there were many Dyson spheres around then I think that should be observable as there being "far too much" red dwarfs compared to how many we should observe.
I’m still not seeing it. As a Java dev by day, I see DI mostly through the lenses of Hollywood principle and IOC containers, neither of which bear much resemblance to currying (as I see it). When it comes to something like DI frameworks, currying is certainly not as powerful, but I don’t think that’s what you mean. Currying seems much more related to something like the builder pattern. Maybe there’s some article you know of that I could read? Googled around but didn’t find anything.

> But isn't this much, much easier if you just piggyback on the Apple hardware ?

Sure, it's easier, but then I'm not sure what the point is or what makes it one of the biggest opportunities of our time.

I also understand why it never happened - there is already a unix-based OS which is designed with perfect compatibility with the Apple Hardware called OSX! I'm not sure what the advantage to a consumer would be for replacing OSX with linux - other than the fact that it gives consumers choice - but of course providing a distro that only operates on a specific Mac is then limiting hardware choice so it doesn't really solve that in some respects.

And if it's just for developers, then wouldn't developers want some choice of hardware, good support for tooling, the ability to test native apps without virtualisation e.t.c.

IMO I suspect the Venn-diagram of developers who:

* want a Mac but don't want OSX

* don't mind that they can't upgrade their hardware

* are willing to run some totally-new operating system

* Accept that it will initially lack the support of the runtimes they use, and some software, and won't be able to develop certain types of software because of this.

* Accept that if they wish to continue using the OS for their next laptop they will be fully locked-in to a single hardware model.

is pretty vanishingly small.
You're 100% right and they seem to know that but not realize that they know that. This quote before saying "I'm paid for the value I provide" spills the beans...

A great insurance company talking point! The purpose of 'tort reform' is to increase insurer profits.

We need more medical malpractice lawsuits, not less!
Completely understandable and I mostly just added that to make it clear that I wasn't disagreeing your reasoning. I think I would have done the same thing in your shoes.
> I've learned to dread OSX updates because instead of adding new useful stuff, it seems like we just move things around

To be fair, that also describes Windows. As best I can tell, every release since 7 has primarily focused on renaming and adding indirection to the ways you get to the same old control panels.

Page as a whole seems over-broad. E.g. the first FAQ entry:

> Have I been affected by this attack?

> If you have an Intel processor or an Apple device with the M1 chip, then yes with very high probability. We also expect our attack to be effective for AMD machines, however this has been only partially demonstrated.

while also further down

> We do not have any evidence so far that Spook.js has been or not been abused in the wild.

and I haven't been able to find any references whatsoever to evidence that this technique has been actively used.

You're wrong, nothing leaves the user's browser for us to take a cut in the case of an unverified creator. Those tips or donations sit in the browser, and cancel after 90 days. The user gets the tokens back and can cancel the pending tips or contributions at any time.

The ad ecosystem is multisided, not two-sided. We put the user in first place and cut out the ad-tech intermediaries who raid privacy, enable fraud, and take north of 50%, 70% in one case (the Guardian bought out its ad space and got 30p on the GBP).

Please check your facts before attacking us. It's one thing to operate on misinformation, but another to throw "escheated" around like a lawyer. It sounds impressive, but it's based on falsehoods all the way down. Again, tips from rewards users to unverified sites and channels sit in the browser, time out back to the user, and can be canceled. Look for "Pending tips" in rewards settings.

I found out the hard way that Backblaze, despite their claims of "...automatically back up all your files including documents, photos, music, movies, and more. It’s that easy.", do not back up .dmg files (among others) by default. Which seems to be a huge omission considering the numerous use cases outside of just application installers.

Good practices dictate that preregistration should always be done nowadays, including for meta-analysis. In practice though, this has very little impact. There is absolutely no guarantee that what's written in the paper is a faithful report of what really happened. There's nothing holding back dishonest (or, at that point I guess I should write 'standard') researcher from doing absolutely whatever they want.
> The _right_ way to ask for a raise is to do your own research on market rates,

This only works until some point.
I showed my employer that they pay me around 15% less than median for software engineers in general (there’s public data here on this from taxes). The result was that they told me that 15% is too much offered me “even” an inflation-adjustment and in the end didn’t give me anything. All while also telling me they want to keep me and how I’m one of their best developers.

Often getting a proper raise only works through jumping the ship.

Brave does not replace (meaning, display in-situ) third-party ads. Those are blocked, as you stated, for ethical and security reasons. Brave offers an opt-in feature of the browser called 'Brave Rewards' and 'Brave Ads'. This feature enables users to opt-in to ad-notifications (displayed as native prompts on the device; not shown on the pages you visit). Ads are displayed on every 4th new tab page for participating users (again, no ads on publisher properties). The user consents to these, receives 70% of the revenue for their attention, and sets threshold limitations for how many ads can be displayed in a given period. Brave has never replaced ads on pages; that would be highly unethical.
The RCT is the gold standard, but observational studies can be sufficient to establish causality when the effect size is large enough with a clear dose response curve. No one has ever conducted an RCT to prove that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, but we're pretty sure that it does.

People creating decorative designs for a living should be very worried though.

Ethical researchers will prematurely stop and publish a "no effect" result for any medicine that has bad effects. That is, unless the effects are so bad that they can't stop fast enough, and they get to measure a statistically relevant harm.

Thus seeing "no effect" places an upper bound on how good an effect you will see as "none", and a lower bound as "won't kill most people quickly". That's not a good space to gamble into.

It took almost an year until the scientific community settled down that HQC for treating COVID-19 is harmful. The actual formal result is still "no effect and doing more studies is anti-ethical" because nobody can tell exactly how harmful it is. Probably nobody will ever be able to tell (and that's a good thing).
There tends to be an assumption that more information is always better but it ultimately depends on how one interprets and uses that information (time and absorptive capacity is important). Most models that push for more information assume perfect decision making (utilizing all the information effectively and optimally). That is not always the case (I might even argue often).

Information overload can lead to analysis paralysis, adding complexity to properly weighing information, and ultimately land into poor decision making processes. In the case of salary information, perhaps I perceive that I'm a below average worker. When handed the average, I might be willing to low ball myself because my thought process may think pay is directly correlated to skill or value given to a company and if I perceive my ability to produce as lower than others, I may be willing, during a negotiation process, to accept low balled values.

In the era of the data deluge, we're learning it's not always the case that more information is better. More and even high quality information needs high quality decision making. If you think of human decision making as flawed (hint: we all make flawed decisions so it is), then our processes will not always make good use of new information, even with high quality concise information. It's very possible for more information to result in undesired or negative effects.

We like to pretend we have all sorts of oracle systems out there but we really don't. In the case of knowing salaries I tend to agree with you: knowing what your competition make is better, most of the time.
Parent comment was precisely using this as a pro for in-browser password managers (or extensions). They can check the current domain.

>>nor should surveillance stings be set up to entrap people.

You used the word "entrap". I don't think it means what you think it means.

Setting up surveillance of people doing what they independently decide to do on their own, is not entrapment.

Entrapment is when you interact with a target and actively convince them and/or enable them to do a criminal act that they (arguably) would not have done on their own without your prompting/enabling actions.
What's preventing the hospital from at least telling me the baseline price without 340b rebates and then listing those rebates separately? Does the hospital even know the baseline price without 340b rebates? If not, doesn't that strike you as a problem?

> Hospitals pay different prices for the same pharmaceuticals.

Right, that's exactly what I said:

> It sounds like within the industry, hospitals are facing the same problems as consumers, and they need more price transparency from their suppliers as well. Hopefully increased requirements towards hospitals to explain their pricing will lead to hospitals demanding slightly more transparency and slightly more consistency from the other companies they work with.
Oh, it gets better. Once the conspiracy theorists discover each other online, they interact and mesh their theories together, including those "shadow groups".

BTW, it can be rather amusing to see how the culture of different societies is reflected in their respective conspiracy tropes. For example, in US, we have "sovereign citizens", while Germany has "Reichsburgers". Both groups make broadly similar claims - asserting inapplicability of most laws to themselves etc. But while sovereign citizens are completely decentralized and don't even claim any legitimate central authority, the Reichsburgers have an ostensible shadow government-in-exile (although they disagree on which of the many is the legitimate one). And said "government" actually issues documents such as IDs and driver licenses, that are anathema to the sovereign citizens as a matter of principle. Ordnung muss sein?
