It seems awfully naive to pretend there isn't a class that generally is catered to by government. They're typically some or all of these:

- in the top .1% of net worth

- in executive leadership positions

- attend elite universities

- frequently possessing generational wealth

I hope this helps.
To me that was the point of it.

You want to find those people who the boss/co-workers thought were so good and amazing that they would put down $50 for.

I have had colleagues refer people they privately referred to as a "codebase wrecking monkey" to avoid telling that person no. But they would be willing to put down $50 for far fewer people.

Is it uncomfortable for the people asked? Probably. But that seemed to be the point, as those uncomfortable people would give a positive reference for free otherwise.
Do any of the 20 studies analyzed in this one control for protein and fat consumption?

I get the impression that some vegetarian and/or vegan diets are low in protein and fats, and those proteins and fats have different ratios of the amino and fatty acids than meat does. Vegetable and seed oils tend to be high in linoleic acid in particular and low in saturated fats.

Personally, I have to make a conscious effort to add protein to my diet as someone who doesn't eat much meat and is athletic.

No. Upper class in Korea is more in reach than many other countries in the world. The elites control a lot of money, but it's not as bad as other countries either, and there are more of them.

People are having less children because there is constant downwards pressure to have less children, by society, by politics, by wealth/industry.

Having a kid doesn't cost a lot in South Korea. In fact it's usually beneficial. The problem is that having a kid basically means your main source of income is vulnerable and your situation will more than likely be negatively affected.

I don't think you're wrong. Ignorance is bliss, sometimes.

If everyone had to meet the meat before their meals, we'd be able to bring consumption right down.

(And by that I'd include the whole impact of cow breeding on the environment etc, right down to the execution.)
I added it, anticipating future comments.
Such a system would just get gamed by people with rich friends/family or rich people who have the fortune of saving up 10k in liquid funds before losing their current job and can just buy their way into a job.

It only expands income inequality and is frankly disgusting.
Are there any downsides to this?
How much faith do you have in nutrition science?

How sure are you that they know all the vitamins, fatty acids, amino acids, etc that are important to your health?

We know for sure that there are vitamins that it is pretty much impossible to get with a normal vegan diet (without either taking a supplement or consciously consuming certain foods to supplement) such as vitamin B-12. Other minerals such as iron are more bio-available when consumed as part of meat.

Humans evolved as omnivores. Human nutritional needs evolved based on what an omnivore diet provided. If you think that nutrition science is at the stage where they completely understand all the macro and micro nutrients that meat provides and are confident that supplements can match that, then go for it.

As for me, I don't quite have that confidence.

The flight previous to the LA crash also experienced the MCAS malfunction. You don't hear about that one because the crew used the electric trim switches to return trim to normal, then turned off the stab trim system with the cutoff switches.

Then, they continued the flight and landed normally.

The next flight on the same airplane is the one that crashed. The crew restored normal trim with the electric trim switches 25 times, but never shut off the trim system.

The EA crew also restored normal trim with the trim switches, but then turned off the trim when the stabilizer was too far nose down. This is contrary to the instructions in the Boeing Emergency Airworthiness Directive distributed to all MAX pilots.

This does not absolve Boeing's role in not doing a proper failure analysis of the MCAS system.

But contrary to what Frontline said "the pilots did everything right" it was recoverable if the instructions for runaway trim were followed.
(American here. Not defending the concept. Just stating facts.)

In developing countries, paying to have access to a job is common[0]. Highly sought after jobs for their social reputation (like airline attendent) often require applicants to pay a fee for the opportunity.

You also see this in roles that accept bribes. When police collect cash bribes, their bosses need to see some of that money. One way they do is by requiring people to pay upfront a fee to get access to the role of bribe accepter.

> Another complaint is that it's racist because black people have black friends and apparently black people can't afford to refer their friends. This complaint relies on a racist argument "black people in general have less money, therefore the black software engineers doing the referrals will have less money." I don't think that's how it works. In the company's model you'd need referrals not from your random friends and acquaintances, but from coworkers who knew you and would be willing to be on you. Presumably your coworkers can come up with fifty dollars.

This is a lot of words to say "i haven't tried to understand what systemic racism is"!

Would you change your mind if they managed to filter people sufficiently to make hiring take far fewer interviews and they could actually source good candidates?

It is weird now, but my parents also think it is weird to interview 8 times for one job.
how you replace bracket-lib is the core of the exercise. There's more than one way to do it.

Translating the implementation to bevy on the fly as you read the book would probably be much more difficult than what I described.
Because the natural behavioural pattern of dominant companies is single-minded resource extraction, including from the commons which the government is in charge of safeguarding. On top of it the relationship they have to private citizens is extremely asymmetric.

All-consuming capitalism isn't a public liberty, and if companies are in the mind of lowering costs by using cancer-inducing materials, slave work, corruption or indeed trading people's very identities, then it's in the purview of political institutions to intervene.
Similarly: how many deaths can be attributed to pollution from coal plants powering the energy-costly Haber-Bosch process? (Without which the population never could have exceeded 3 billion people.)
But this would make it disproportionally easier for people with wealthier friends/family while creating a chilling effect against people from a poorer background, or immigrants.
My feeble attempt at an answer would be the point is to be in service of others or in the care of others.
I think you are attributing too much power to policy alone.

I think human behaviour are much better explained via incentives.

We are putting ridiculous amount of CO2 in the air because roughly every human is incentivized to do so. Basically the things that scale only scale because everyone has an incentives for it.

I don't see any personal level incentives for carbon capture so I doubt it will scale.

Thanks for pointing this out. It’s a micro-hoarding type behavior that collectors share (stamps, trading cards, mechanical keyboards, etc). It’s fulfilling that compulsion and not anything else. The mechanical keyboard people especially, most of those keyboards are ‘meh’, but they compulsively get those and new keys.

Well, here is the operating profit for the US tech giants:

Apple $100 billion | Microsoft $70b | Google $62.6b | Facebook $44.5b | Amazon $29.6b | Intel $22.7b | Oracle $15.7b | Cisco $13.7b | Qualcomm $10.3b | IBM $8b | Texas Instruments $7.7b | Broadcom $7.6b | Nvidia $7.3b | Micron $6.7b | Applied Materials $6.4b | Netflix $6b | Dell $6b | Adobe $5.5b

SAP is one of the primary tech giants in Europe. Their operating profit is $6.2b by comparison (they fit in Microsoft's pocket these days).

Now on top of that, throw in the US banks which are generating enormous profit compared to their European peers, and they also hire tech talent. Throw in Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Square, PayPal, Stripe, etc. Then throw in the US defense contractors. The large pharma & biotech companies. Insurance companies. Huge retailers like Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, Target, Lowes, Walgreens, CVS, etc. Big real-estate companies. Various large conglomerates and manufacturing firms. All of these companies - which generate outsized profits as well - have to compete for tech talent too. The point being, all that demand drains availability and pushes up the salaries that tech talent can command (including outside the bay area).

To clarify, when I said "neurotically conscientious" I was referring to two of the traits in the Big 5 personality assessment scheme--neoroticism and conscientiousness. So not an "atypical mind state" so much as an ingrained way of viewing the world.

So in response to "what personality traits would you associate with meat eaters?" I would say, closer to average levels of neuroticism and conscientiousness, and hence also closer to average levels of anxiety and depression.

The return on investment aspect could just get gamed by companies being excessively selective on which candidates they allow to stay past 2 months.

The anger is justified, such systems can not be allowed to exist.

Employees aren’t scratch tickets. The on-boarding, training, engineering culture and practices all contribute strongly to whether the prospective employee will turn out to be excellent or not.

How about another inverse. What about instead of former coworkers, current coworkers? This doesn't really specify. I bet there are a lot of folks that would happily pay $50 to not have to deal with one of their coworkers ever again.

Recently a friend of mine dealt with a dev who was hired without their input who didn't know anything meaningful, couldn't communicate well, and was hired without a tech interview when the department was in transition between managers. They were extremely painful to work with, and didn't seem to absorb any information or do anything helpful, but other devs tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, thinking it might be a communication issue.

The guy's resume, though, showed job after job of only 3 to 4 month stints, and glowing recommendations from coworkers at each of those jobs. My bet is that each one didn't have the heart to say he wasn't a good developer, so they passed him on from place to place like the Christmas fruitcake no one wants and just mails to the next sucker. I'm guessing a lot of devs would've happily paid 50 bucks if it meant he went and worked somewhere else without anyone having to get him laid off.

Blender is truly one of the most incredible pieces of software I’ve ever used in my entire life. The user interface may look daunting at first glance, but it’s actually incredibly intuitive to use and contains a host of amazingly powerful features that I desperately wish would find their way into every other program I use.

For example, absolutely any aspect of the interface can be bound to any key combination simply by right clicking on the control and choosing “assign keyboard shortcut”. You can adjust values, check and uncheck boxes, execute any menu command, trigger any action, and reconfigure it all on the fly in whichever way suits your workflow in that particular moment.

Another example: every internal function is searchable and executable by hitting F3 and typing a fragment of the code path / menu item title / function name into the box provided. Can’t remember how to slide a vertex along an edge? Just hit F3 and type “ve sl” and the function you’re looking for will be right there at the top of the list.

And another example: every input field can derive its value from simple Python calculations, called Drivers. Let’s say you have a 300 frame animation and you want to change the strength of a mesh deformation from 0 to 1 based on the current frame number. Rather than keyframing anything, you could simply enter ‘#frame / 300” into the deformation modifier’s strength input field and Blender will take care of the calculations for you. You can reference other input values by right clicking on that input and choosing “copy data path”, which will copy the internal reference to that particular piece of data to the clipboard so you can use it to power another input’s driver. So for the above example, if you weren’t sure how many frames your final animation was going to be and you didn’t want to have to go back and change the “300” every time you changed the animation length, you could simply copy the data path for the “frame end” input field and use that in the calculation instead, ie ‘#frame / bpy.context.scene.frame_end’ (that may not be the exact correct path, I’m describing this from memory just as an example of the concept). Every variable is exposed and can be referenced by almost any other variable. If your Driver is more complex than a one liner, you can open a fully featured driver editor window which lets you set and name variables within the driver’s scope, describe parametric functions, and tie multiple drivers together across multiple objects.

Everything is extensible, everything is controllable, everything is connected to everything else — the power it gives you is simply unparalleled, I’ve never used any software of any kind that even came close to putting this much raw control into the user’s hand.
Real wages have been stagnant or declining for most professions since the 70s. Coincidentally, interest rates have been declining over the same period. Could it be that as capital becomes cheaper, companies are less willing to pay for labor? :thinking:

Beyond Sunday School, there are a number of different elaborations.

The one I empathize the most with at the moment is that the universe is a crucible meant to prove what is eternal and what is fleeting. You put in a hunk of metal and get out pure gold through a process of burning and discarding all the fleeting things, which necessarily leaves only the eternal.

Therefore for everyone there has to come a death, otherwise you would not be fully tested in all things.

What is left after that testing is God's life within us, but now a fully tested life that has overcome (or persisted through) everything, including death. It is this gold that glorifies God. So suffering and loss are a crucial part of life, which maybe helps explain why we spend most of our life in our declining years and why those years are the most important, as opposed to many other animals that die not long after reaching maturity.

You're supposed to be old and wander around, asking these types of questions!

In the US there is in fact a disparity in wealth between black households and white households in aggregate as a consequence of slavery, a lack of reparations for slavery, Jim Crow laws, and ongoing discrimination (see, redlining). So it's not a racist argument that paying for job opportunities could perpetuate racial disparities in the workforce. It's a reasonable one.
