This is what I thought a few months as well and bought INTC (Intel stock) on the dip ... and it kept dipping.

This is my guess now: yes, Intel is a massively profitable company. But I think what the market is factoring in is that it missed the technology shift to smaller chips (5nm?) which its competitors (Apple, TSMC, etc) are able to do. Further, Apple & ARM are eating into the mobile space, and AMD and NVidia are biting away at Intel's data center share.

I think without a major tech break-through, Intel looks like it might miss this next semiconductor shift, and that's why the market is selling because it is starting to look like an also-ran at this point. Think IBM.
Just another data point here...

An unreachable tier of society indicates a fundamental social injustice. They're in the top 20% of wealth...not intelligence, or in any other factor making them deserving of it. Some of them did work hard, and probably deserve it if you consider hard work deserving of it...but, some people worked harder and didn't make it, so it's not a 1-to-1 equation. So there's a huge element of luck, which is kind of like a slavery for the bottom 80%..just like, you're born with one skin color (luck), you're in the upper class, and own the unlucky people born with another skin color.

Generally, we try to equalize the brutal laws of nature and offer equality of opportunity and try to remove blind, dumb luck from human life...with health care, with insurance, with social equality...sometimes, we succeed, but this is a failure.

I hate quintile mobility as a metric and don't think it should be used. Quintile mobility is zero sum. It's impossible for anyone to move up without someone else moving down. I don't want people in the upper middle quintile to go down. But I also want people in the lower quintiles to move up. To upper middle if not top.

Neither wealth nor income is zero sum. Zero sum analyses are therefore not useful IMHO.
The other side of the coin would be data about how overwhelmingly likely it is to retain one's membership in the top quintile by mere dint of being born into it.

It seems grotesque that many are born and stay very wealthy while so many others have little to no chance of ever experiencing even modest prosperity.

Another observation: No other quintile has actually grown its percentage of household wealth since the 1970s. The wealthy really have taken all of the gains. Perhaps it would be healthy for us to share some with the people who do all of the physical labor.

I did one year of high school debate and this is accurate. There is no real discussion at all, strictly statements supported by facts.

It was really boring for me, and at times a lot of work. However, one thing I appreciated about it is that at times you'd obviously be arguing a side you don't necessarily agree with, and learn a ton in the process. Also surprise yourself a bit in how convincing you can be. In a way, I wish everyone had the time and effort to research a POV they don't agree with, but as if they did.

Probably great training for a lawyer or paralegal, perhaps even public speaker, but I personally didn't find a lot of joy in it.

> If one means to say highest maximum tax rate, just say it. No weasel interpretations.

To be fair, when people criticize the tax rate, be it state or federal, it is usually implied they are referencing the highest tax rate. Apples to apples, it’s a rough but fairly accurate proxy for relative so called “tax burden.” One would expect states with roughly equivalent highest tax rates to scale their tax rates about the same as income goes down.

This is definitely a complicated debate with regards to all aspects of the Han, ideas about language included. There was certainly a strong tendency - particularly in the late Western Han - to take a huge variety of cultural inputs and try to synthesize them into something "canonical." (Another way of putting this is - to what extent is most of what we know about early China a reflection of what the Western Han elite believed/understood about early China?) As Yang Xiong worked at the Imperial Library with Liu Xiang and Liu Xin, he would have been part of this process. The other thing to remember about Yang Xiong and the Fangyan is that he was a real polymath - we don't necessarily have to boil his writings down to this or that political end. In particular, he claims to have strongly favored something called the "glosses and exegesis" (xungu 訓詁) approach to studying the classics, which is a bit murky but seems related to trying to understand the original meanings of words. I think there's a strong possibility that this was tied up with his philological interests, rather than some notion of a lingua franca. (I did my graduate research on Yang Xiong, FWIW.) More broadly, the problem with making any strong conclusions about early medieval China is that most of our sources are by elites, for elites, and aren't really concerned with questions like "how did ordinary folks interact with each other?" We don't even get to the level of interest found in, say, Tang chuanqi.

> Even allowing for the fact that Ricci is almost certainly experiencing some sort of selection bias (probably mainly talking to people with a certain amount of educational background), it's a pretty clear statement of a single language used across all of Ming China that superseded regional languages.

I'm not a political scientist and I don't know nearly as much about the last thousand years of Chinese literary history, so perhaps I'm about to step into a minefield, but I'm not 100% convinced that the average Ming peasant really conceptualized themself as a member of a "national" polity with certain customs (like an "official" language). Which is quite different from China today. I guess another way of putting this is whether a "national" language is top-down or bottom-up.

> The whole post-Han pre-Tang time period is a bit of a crazy minefield to get through from a language perspective

"xcode-select --install" grabs only the command line utilities included with Xcode (git, swift, clang, python3.8, etc), and it's only 400MB on my machine. That command has been there for a while, since Leopard or so, and Homebrew prompts you to run it before you continue with installing brew.
I've grown to see not only humans but also animals and plants to be on the same tree of life.

Some natives in South America call the animals our little grandmas and grandpas, and I can relate to that.

It's typical for one to be treated by their children the same way they had treated their own parents and grandparents.

I wonder what this means for us.

This is one of my big take-aways from the article. My great-(great?-)-grandparents from Eastern Europe armed with nothing but excellent numeracy, some English, and the clothes on their backs. They could reliably expect to enter move out of post-immigration poverty based on skills cultivated for the purpose of success in the US. My great-x-grandfather ended up a bank manager. And they passed money and knowledge along to their children, insuring as best they could that their progress wouldn't be lost, and it wasn't. You've heard this story a thousand times, and I'd bet it happened tens of thousands of times.

But that sort of outcome seems almost impossible in America today due to more factors than I could probably name especially at this hour. But it seems clear to me that America has changed in the last 120-100 years in a way that locks people into their social classes/'earnings quintiles' while perpetuating, I assume to the advantage of the very wealthy, the myth that that old America of extreme social mobility still exists. This is a myth that needs to die if we're to adequately address our problems as a nation. I suspect the solution begins in the education industry.
Or just make it audio only. Hell, some companies are using writing samples to decide to hire, such as Gumroad I believe. I think that's good because you get to take your time and there's significantly less bias than with video and audio.

That’s actually not correct. By that argument the happiest country should be the United States as it has the largest GDP. However the United States ranks #19 on the World Happiness Report: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/happiest-...

Oh, I see you completely subscribe to the customer theory of value, where price is dictated by "how much is it worth to the client?"

In that case it would have to be a subscribtion. Or, once you get the shot, the company ownes you. Come to this of it, the two situations are actually the same.
Your wording makes what streamers and other influencers have to do without managers as much harder and serious than it is.

Celebrity is already pushing it. In the scale of fame, someone doing all the work themselves likely is pretty down the list in terms of celebrity.

Many celebs without managers don’t need to do much marketing and PR for their brand. There’s countless YouTube or IG etc accounts with millions of subscribers that don’t have a concerted marketing and especially not PR campaign going on.

Many, possibly most, sports players do not have managers. Most have agents only.

—-

For cash flow. Leagues like the NBA and NFL have become more serious with helping out and making sure the players manage money better. Still a long way to go.

Overall, I don’t see any reason why streamers and online celebs would have higher intelligence. The reasons people are giving appear to be biased toward giving credence to tech white collar work.

Look at the number of online influencers peddling all sorts of scummy NFT and crypto stuff. If their PR was so important, these online celebs would have had to do major damage control. They largely haven’t. If at all. This makes it seem like there’s much less serious pressure and real stakes at play for online celebs. There’s other various things online celebs have done and continue to do that just is not done by the vast vast majority of athletes. The ones that do behave like divas are ostracized. This isn’t the case with online celebs.

I don’t think either selects for higher intelligence.
This is a snapshot of now.

Where are we going with the money thing?

If the goal is everyone have money to access stuff (get to 0%)… why money?

Just provide stuff?

Socially make the story “this is how acquisition of stuff works and what stuff is available.”

Like we do now. Just minus the money.

Everyone lives under a quota for stuff given how much money they have.

What’s with the arbitrary data structure (dollar) and old man algorithms for dividing it up?
Yes, in the same way that the average energy density in the universe is zero, sure. But there's parts of the country where the local averages are much more skewed relative to the rest of the country.
Yeah, I had a few connectors (API clients to different APIs with some business logic wrappers to handle low level stuff) and decided that they should share code with a generic connector interface, and then when one of them changed it was pretty painful untangling it. There is a tradeoff between getting stuff done and abstraction engineering, and there are costs to premature abstraction engineering.
I had multiple bad experiences with Hertz and no longer rent from them. The final straw was when I had to switch out a car mid rental because of mechanical issues. They over double charged me acting like it was a whole new (one way) rental.

It took weeks of phone calls with no resolution before I initiated a charge back to fix their issue. Horrible and incompetent customer service.
> Does anyone else kinda feel like videogames look good enough at this point?

People have been saying that for years, and then the following year comes along that blows away expectations yet again. IMO, I won't be satisfied until I literally can't tell an artificial rendering from a real photo/video.
I only skimmed a few of the articles but as far as I can tell it boils down to:
1) He says that the ideas of "deliberate practice" is wrong
2) Describes "deliberate practice" as repeatedly following instructions... which as far as I know, isn't what "deliberate practice" is.
3) Then he says what you really need to do is practice smartly (a lot) to gain "tacit knowledge"

... but isn't that is pretty much what "deliberate practice" prescribes? Practice a lot at the edge of competence (or just over it). It just doesn't explicitly say "to gain tacit knowledge".
I see two sides arguing past each other. One side says "FOSS isn't broken, because X", the other side says "FOSS IS broken, because Y!". Neither side tries to refute X or Y. We all have our personal goalposts. Why argue over a headline? Why not argue with the other side on common terms?

It's like if I say "fruitcake is terrible" and someone says "I like fruitcake, I use it as a paperweight and a doorstopper" as a rebuttal.
That’s an odd concern. Programmers have always been able to rework things maliciously. I can redefine console.log to wipe your hard drive if I wanted to. Redefining “red” is for if you want to tweak the shade. For example, changing it from ff0000 (or whatever) to, say, cc0000. Then all the darkness values (100-900) update automatically.

If “red-500” is your company color, it should be redefined in your config as “company” and write “text-company-500”. That way, if your company branding changes, you don’t have to “hack” red-500 to be blue-400; you just change the definition of “company”.

They’re basically CSS variables.
> and ignoring the existence of other developed nations

I mean, Germany and France literally criminalized name-calling and teasing on the internet. They actively compel social media websites to delete posts and comments that make fun of people, or make them feel bad.

While people working on longevity might sound like "coke heads" to you, generations from now your descendants will scarcely be able to imagine a world where death was not a willful choice, and they will look back on today as "that horrific time when people just dropped dead."

They will find it barbaric and terrifying that people could not live life out to contentment, but rather, were forced to die, and people merely accepted it rather than doing anything to fight it.

Finally, addressing the wealth gap is not mutually exclusive from solving much more important problems like death.

And that is the super exciting, mind blowing thing about this, this ran on the Xbox Series X/PS5! In fact, it even runs on then Xbox Series S with a small visual downgrade, which is the cheap version with 1/3 the GPU power of the Series X (at 4 tflops, it is perhaps very roughly equivalent to a GTX 1060 from 2016). This is a triumph of software, not hardware. I imagine you should be getting a lot of use still out of your current rig.

Yes. If the CEO and board want the responsibility of owning a company then yes they should also own-up to fuck-ups by their employees.

If big companies don't want to be responsible for thousands of employees then perhaps it's time to split up the responsibilities -- and the compensations too.
