I'll just leave this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Securities_Act_of_1933#Purpose

> The primary purpose of the '33 Act is to ensure that buyers of securities receive complete and accurate information before they invest in securities. Unlike state blue sky laws, which impose merit reviews, the '33 Act embraces a disclosure philosophy, meaning that in theory, it is not illegal to sell a bad investment, as long as all the facts are accurately disclosed. A company that is required to register under the '33 act must create a registration statement, which includes a prospectus, with copious information about the security, the company, the business, including audited financial statements. The company, the underwriter and other individuals signing the registration statement are strictly liable for any inaccurate statements in the document. This extremely high level of liability exposure drives an enormous effort, known as "due diligence", to ensure that the document is complete and accurate. The law bolsters and helps to maintain investor confidence which in turn supports the stock market.

>capitalist decline in South Korea makes this news not surprising.

South Korea is on a capitalist upswing, not decline. People forget that South Korea was worse off than most of Africa after the Korean War. Capitalism and democracy is what saved them.

3. They are unjust because they do not recognize some people declined the second Covid shot after a bad reaction to the first and are therefore considered unvaccinated.
> “Efficiency” is not one of my programming goals, and so reasons like “vim is great - it’s super fast” have no appeal.

Then think in terms of friction - friction that prevents you from doing what you want.

The reason for pursuing this kind of efficiency in an editor is because the task of writing and editing text files is only means to an end as a programmer: your goal is to encode the program you have in your head in a form the computer could run. To persist a castle in the sand you're building. Your editor is usually the limiting factor on how fast can you do that. And this matter because the faster you go, the less friction you feel, the more time you have for the important part - thinking. If you can do this fast enough, cross a certain efficiency threshold, your mind will collapse the task, erase the perception of typing.

Think of what happens when you learn to drive, truly learn. Your car becomes an extension of your thoughts, not something you consciously give inputs to. Now imagine driving by having to type in commands like "accelerate" or "turn left". Now imagine the same, but through submitting paper forms.
Sad to hear just how common these sorts of stories are. I remember reading fairly recently about a guy who reported a flaw to a company working with the NHS in the UK (should emphasise this is an external company and not the NHS themselves) and ended up having to crowdfund his legal battle.

But from that same paper:

> When comparing athletes who compete directly against one another, such as elite or comparable levels of school-aged athletes, the physiological advantages conferred by biological sex appear, on assessment of performance data, insurmountable.

The paper is missing that these differences are not insurmountable in all sports, and not even in all Olympic sports (they reference the IOC multiple times). It's an important distinction not addressed adequately in the chart or the paper IMO.

> In this review, we aim to assess whether evidence exists to support the assumption that testosterone suppression in transgender women removes these advantages.

If your study is designed to analyze the fairness of different testosterone levels in all Olympic sports (or a cross-section of all sports) in an un-biased way, then you should include data on all Olympic sports (curling, artistic gymnastics, artistic swimming, equestrian, fencing, figure skating, marathon swimming, rhythmic gymnastics, sailing, rock climbing, surfing, table tennis, etc.), or at least include varying types of sports like endurance sports, dexterity sports, artistic sports, equine sports, etc.

Maybe they just don't have data for those other sports, but then at least include a prominent caveat that this data is incomplete and is not a good representation of all sports or even all Olympic sports, or limit the scope of your paper to what your more narrow analysis actually is.

> Of course, different sports select for different physiological characteristics—an advantage in one discipline may be neutral or even a disadvantage in another—but examination of a variety of record and performance metrics in any discipline reveals there are few sporting disciplines where males do not possess performance advantage over females as a result of the physiological characteristics affected by testosterone.

Correct, but why not name those sports and include them in the chart? Apparently the authors know that these sports exist enough to acknowledge that they are "few" in number.

Just a little too much of an agenda wrapped in science for my taste. I don't think it's the best chart to be promoting, because it's incomplete and paints a picture that male sporting dominance over females is "insurmountable", when in fact "dominant in many areas, but comparable in a few areas" is a much more accurate conclusion.

That said, I don't think it's hate speech by any means, just a poor chart from a poor paper with incomplete data.
I don't disagree with the spirit of what you're saying. This is a burden for expat US citizens. A few notes and corrections though:

> Moreover, it makes expats ineligible for certain retirement savings in their country of domicile (as the US does not recognize pre-tax deductions for these investments, like those countries do not recognize investments in 401k’s).

This is true but unrelated to taxing worldwide income. Basically, there has to be bilateral/multilateral agreements between countries about how to treat contributions to and distributions from retirement accounts and these are very few and far between.

The US and Canada have such agreements but the US and Australia do not. So Australian superannuation accounts generally can't ever be closed so you have to keep reporting them to the US government every year, whether you're a citizen or not. Even those on work visas have to do this. Worse, it's unclear how gains in such accounts should be treated for US income tax purposes. There are literally no laws and no case law on the subject so everyone just has to guess.

> It also makes it challenging for expats to find banks willing to serve them because elf the added complexity.

So this is also mostly true but again (mostly) unrelated to taxing worldwide income. This is because of FATCA [1]. The US uses access to the US financial system as a wedge to get foreign financial institutions to report accounts of US citizens so being a US citizen imposes a reporting requirement on foreign banks that many don't want to deal with. It's easier not to offer services to US citizens. But again, FATCA reporting requirements aren't really the same thing as taxing worldwide income.

> ... lost taxes to be a mere fraction of the costs of enforcement.

The point here unfortunately isn't really to enforce anything. It's so if the US decides to get you, it's something else they can prosecute you for.

> This makes literally zero sense.

That's not strictly true either. The idea is that US citizenship is so beneficial that it justifies these costs. It's true that a US passport gives you a lot of access to various countries. I believe the US passport is right up there in the top 10 passports. I'd hazard a guess and say the only reason it's not even higher is Middle Eastern countries. Also, the State Department will make some efforts to recover and evacuate US citizens in certain circumstances.

Is this worth the hassle? Probably not but for some it is, I'm sure.

Still, there's definite room for improvement.

Elite Overproduction is in full swing in South Korea. The costs of entering the upper class are increasing and the consequences of failing to enter it are getting worse. People are having almost no children because the costs are so high and the experience of being a child is so brutal (16+ hours of schooling a day is common).

There's a very common and overused saying along the lines of "If you owe the bank $100,000, you have a problem. If you owe the bank 1,000,000,000, the bank has a problem."

The point is that in a debt relationship, the lender has given you something today and while you have a legal obligation to pay that back tomorrow, the fact remains that the borrower has The Thing and the lender does not, which often creates leverage to the advantage of the borrower.

The lender knows/accepts that not everyone will pay them back (this risk is controlled by interest), leaving the borrower wiggle room to pay back less than what they owe by threatening to not pay back anything at all. This is why it pays not to pay back your debts - some entities can and have borrowed and used that borrowing as leverage to extract better-than-agreed-upon terms to pay it back.

Gov. Parsons’ technical ignorance, such as it may be, is not the source of this. This is a power-oriented political narrative.

I believe that by "near-worthless" they mean that a given company is hemorrhaging assets and basically about to fold. A business that continuously runs net negative has to close at some point without an external influx of capital, after all.

The alleged theory goes that since without the help of some fund such a company is going to fold anyways, the fund can't really do much worse than the alternative, so might as well let them have a shot at repairing the business and rescuing it. Sometimes they're successful, sometimes they're not.

It's hard to fathom why people wouldn't know why regulations exist.

Without regulatory bodies, markets would not exist.

This is because regular consumers don't have the energy or ability to evaluate the quality of products or services, so in certain areas (health, safety, finance), where it 'really matters' - we regulate.

Without a drug regulatory body, there would be no way to know what drugs work, and the market would be almost entirely scammers.

Have a look at 'moisterizers' - it's a ridiculous game of false and misleading information by so called 'reputable' companies using technology totally out of context i.e. 'collagen' in order to be able to put it on the label. There's nary a way to understand what is effective and what is not. It's a completely distorted market. Now, it's just moisturizer, so it doesn't matter.

But we don't want the same thing for diabetes drugs, now do we?

The financial system is highly, highly regulated because it used to be full of outright scams and the system couldn't grow without it.

Integrity is key to all long term growth, it's why we have rules.

Now it should be possible to invest in highly speculative, risky things - sure - that should be up to you - but the reason we don't want to allow that in some instances is because the mechanism itself is fraudulent and misrepresentation i.e. a Ponzi Scheme is a Ponzi Scheme and it's bad to have them going around, even if you want to invest in them.

The entire field of Crypto thus far has been a giant distraction and waste of time, while there is definitely the possibility of some good coming out of this, it hasn't happened yet, we should be in the experimental stage, not the 'using up more electricity than Argentina stage'.

It doesn't matter much if the company is generally VC fundable or doing well. Ideally you have investors that can help you and the company, but if you have few friends there too, no-one should care.

We raised some money from friends, family and angels at pre-seed, and at seed & series A, the VC didn't have single questions the cap table.

But the companies should have legal counsel, and try to use the standard YC SAFEs not to give people some weird terms. Also as a startup founder, you should make clear to family/friends/non-professional investors that investing in the startup is very risky, and as a minor investor they don't really have any rights as an investor, except hopefully have some returns for their investment.
