There is a lot to look here, but the main take away is that this unpartnered adults have been increasing significantly over the last 30 years. Men are generally more likely to be unpartnered than women. Also, there are significant ethnic differences.

“While the unpartnered population includes some adults who were previously married (those who are separated, divorced or widowed), all of the growth in the unpartnered population since 1990 has come from a rise in the number who have never been married.

This trend has broad societal implications, as does the growing gap in well-being between partnered and unpartnered adults. Looking across a range of measures of economic and social status, unpartnered adults generally have different – often worse – outcomes than those who are married or cohabiting. This pattern is apparent among both men and women.

Unpartnered adults have lower earnings, on average, than partnered adults and are less likely to be employed or economically independent. They also have lower educational attainment and are more likely to live with their parents. Other research suggests that married and cohabiting adults fare better than those who are unpartnered when it comes to some health outcomes.”

Coffee is high acidity and I remember reading (can’t source) that it should not replace breakfast for that reason.

Wondering if replacing it with green tea could provide some of the caffeine in less acidic form.

That always struck me as an odd black and white argument. It's a lot like the Capital 'D' Deaf community. Yes, it can be a part of your identity, but to some, it is legitimately just a disability; an impediment in major life functions.

Some can, sure. But for those that cannot, a treatment that works would be a god-send.

> Because of this the pharmaceutical companies end up doing most of the funding of the FDA instead of the federal government.

45% is way too much, but it is not "most of the funding". IIRC that was an urban legend that got started recently.

Many government agencies are funded to a significant degree based on fees from their specific constituents. The post office is funded in large measure from postage fees. Highway construction is funded in part from gasoline and automotive vehicle taxes. The USPTO is funded in part from fees. So is the SEC.

The point of fees of this sort is that they are directed narrowly at the petitioners who use the service of the agency. Do you want Merck to have its (arbitrarily many) applications to the FDA paid for by you, rather than Merck, via income tax? Surely it should be shouldering the cost of its own drug submissions.

That can be dangerous of course. It's true that such fees can promote regulatory capture, or even corruption, but they are not in and of themselves examples of corruption as you claimed. 45% is ridiculously high but it is not corruption. Corruption would be the FDA approving drugs in return for payment where it would not have otherwise.

> Just because a drug company pays more to get their drug doesn't mean it's drug is more valuable to society than the one that it skipped in line.

No, it means that the company was willing to shoulder the costs of expedited processing. Embassies do this too, you know: if you pay more money you can get your passport processed faster. I don't like the idea of expedited approval processes for drugs: it damages the safety checks in place. But I don't think that just because Merck paid gets its drug approved faster means it "skipped ahead in line" in front of J&J, just that its process is moving faster because it paid for the resources to make that happen.
Sunlight in the eyes doesn’t fix that issue either.

Vast acreage was planted in sugarcane until the mid 90's when the industry completely left Hawaii. That land was sold off cheaply and many new owners bought it to hold and have not put it back into agriculture. Just sitting there growing weeds. Also many parcels are 20 acres and people build one little house on it and ignore the rest of the land. There is a tax break given to any residential land used for agriculture which in practice means people lease their land to contract farmers who grow sweet potatoes or ginger for one year then leave it fallow for years after that due to pests. All in all a huge waste.

Space solar was an idea from when PV was expensive. Put those expensive PV up in space with cheap launchers so they're more effective, that was the idea. But now PV is very cheap, so there's no need to put it in 24/7 sunlight. And with storage improving transmitting the power in time will be cheaper than transmitting it in space.

I'd argue that for the customer, Apple Pay is about as quick and easy as it gets. Obtaining a credit card is a one time inconvenience.

The potential fees involved would be more of a concern for the vendors, it seems to me. Are you saying that Visa debit cards have higher fees than their credit cards? My understanding was that usually it's the other way around.

Let's say you're building a product like Slack where you have to balance company vs. individual account deletion rights. For instance, if I join an open Slack such as Kubernetes developers vs. a company slack as an employee vs. a company slack as a guest - I believe Slack doesn't differentiate and requires the company to manage data deletion requests. How are they able to do this?

It's sort of a mindfuck almost because at least when I did it myself for the #1 thing I had to master at work it was sort of a "hate it so much you love it" situation. It was budgets. So I hyped myself up so much to tackle the damn budget that in some weird twisted way I started enjoying doing it and now it's like, "AHHHH HAAAA I WILL CRUSH YOU" when budget projections come up. Although truth be told I still loathe doing it, I just make such a big dumb "thing" over it in my head that I enjoy it more for the stupidity and theatrics. The second you finish it, they change it! Wahoo! Lol.

Not sure what it's like in the US (or the EU), but in Canada, all banks effectively offer the same level of customer-hostile service.

Without a doubt, they'd roll their own fragmented/compromised implementation of contactless payments on iOS, if they had the choice.

Not quite the same, but so many large corps in Canada don't offer Wallet integration for their relevant products (loyalty cards, points balances, etc.) They instead have their own app for these, and let me tell you: they are all garbage.
It's already the case in most companies.

> Is it time to talk about the gap between Blacks and Asians instead?

The problem isn't so much what value you put on the groups, as the gap itself.

Think of it more generically:

gap<Race, Salary>

Anytime you'd see a big gap, it would be cause for concern, because we value that similar work should provide similar compensation no matter your race.

And if you see that the gap is caused by the distribution of the type of work, for example, raceX is more likely to do work that pays more than raceZ. Well that's also an issue, because we value equal opportunity between races, and the assumption is if opportunity was truly equal, the data should not show a big gap in the choices of work made between races, especially for highly paid professions. At least it shouldn't show that without a clear explanation as to why that might be, which we don't have today.

I understand 100% where you come from with that comment, it can get annoying to feel personally blamed for inequality, where the real blame could be historical, or accidental, but I'd only say to try and be the better man, and get past that, because focusing on the "blame" both as a recipient or activist wanting to lash it out is counterproductive, keep the focus on the issue and discussions of solutions I think is the healthy path forward for everyone.

And you're right, articles like this one could also try harder at that.
I, personally, know of no hard evidence that could conclusively prove that.
Companies like Intel won't deal directly with you. They require you to go through a 3rd party company. As far as I can tell you can't even search for these contract gigs on their site.
Procedures and policies, yet. Rights, not so much, at least beyond those disclosures and documents they are legally required to share.

As an example: it is a legally-protected right in many jurisdictions for employees to share compensation information with each other, or even externally. Many (most?) employers strongly discourage this practice, however, and will usually omit the notice that there are legal restrictions on their response in case employees choose to do so. Ditto labor organizing, many types of guaranteed leave, and most whistleblowing protections.

The information asymmetry between most large employers and their employees w.r.t. legal rights is large, and the company's incentives are almost never aligned towards voluntary disclosure.

Only a small team of three but I can’t say it ever felt like a bad thing. If anything, proud that we didn’t need to train a model to get a decent result and could concentrate on the rest of the product experience instead.

If customers weren’t happy or the results they were getting were wildly out (they weren’t) then might’ve been different.

In our minds the customers are buying a product to produce a result. If that’s from an ai model or a bunch of ifs it shouldn’t matter.
Kind of, but like OCaml-to-F# is like "Dark goes from the Prius of languages nobody uses, to the Tesla of the .NET ecosystem." The aims (ecological in the car case) of the purchaser are similar, but the car [at least in its ecosystem] is sleeker and now the roads are a bit different.

On the other hand this is like "Wallaroo moves from the Cadillac of languages nobody uses, to the Chevy Equinox of languages nobody uses." Like, totally fine, you grew older and had kids and needed an SUV to keep up with home life, no shame in that... but there is a wistful "ah when we were young" to the transition, no?

It will be interesting if there comes a point where ICE vehicles are such a small minority of all vehicles, that supporting infrastructure (petrol stations, traditional mechanics, oil change services, etc) starts to collapse and disappear.

There may still be some infrastructure for special use cases like long haul trucking or industrial vehicles, but it might become untenable for the average consumer to own an ICE vehicle, just like it was painfully difficult to own an EV before charging stations became widespread.

When that happens, it could further accelerate the decommissioning of old vehicles.
That only applies if you want to run binary distros and applications such as Fedora or Ubuntu. If you're running a supercomputer and don't want to implement the C extension then you can build your own kernel and programs. If you do that then anything from RV32IA and up can be used.

You can also use a QEMU or Valgrind-like thing to JIT the C away.

Or you can do what modern x86 does and annotate your cache lines the first time they are actually decoded instead of at cache fill time. That's just a little slower for cold code but the same for hot code. Having the C extension keeps 40% more of your code hot for any given cache size.

There might be some implementation point at which Aarch64 wins by having bigger but fixed length code, but it's not at the low end and I don't think it's at the very high end either.
I think different use cases will call for different solutions. My use case is a relatively tiny number of users and any manual work they would generate for account deletion would be nil, or very close to it.

It's not necessarily about recovering users who want to leave but rather minimizing the effort required to implement a more complex deletion flow that has a high probability of never being used by real users (in my case).
And here I sit, using it daily, and productively.
