> differences in lead exposure explain very little fraction of the outcome gap here

Note that tiny fractional differences in the median outcome gap will turn into big differences at the left- and right-wards tails of the distribution. In practice, those are the differences that everyone will ask about. Why are so many X's (relative to Y's) living in socially marginalized settings, resorting to crime, ending up in the justice system? Why are there so very few X's in very high-skill, high-effort occupations like computer programming and other hard-STEM fields? The X's and Y's will vary by time and place, of course. And societal oppression of various sorts is always playing a role in these dynamics, if only as an amplifying feedback. But either way, these are questions about uncommon, tail outcomes not average or median ones!

While there's clearly a lot in the whole $1/day thing, it's not as clear cut.

If you live in Sweden on $30 a day and pay $900 a month in rent, that leaves you with just 31 cents a day. Meanwhile if you live in India on $5 a day and pay $50 a month in rent you'd have $3.35 a day left over, and $3 in rural india goes a lot further than $3 in Sweden.

Those are of course extreme examples, and the levels of poverty in places like India (families sleeping rough on the streets etc) makes even California look glorious levels of civility.

This is a fantastic point, thanks for bringing it up. I mentioned in my original post that my S.O. uses a 4a these days -- I'm still using an iPhone from 2016, the SE. Which is still receiving current iOS updates. Things aren't all rosy on the iPhone side of things (some iOS updates, particularly iOS 12, iirc, were full of bugs, and battery estimation has occasionally fallen apart after system updates)... but overall it's nice that I've been able to use the same phone for 6 years now. And it only cost me $400, so... the same as the 3a.

It's very, very nice that you can go into an Apple store for iPhone support. Mailing in your phone to another manufacturer to deal with an issue is a miserable experience, and Google's uBreakifix relationship is not perfect for regular customer service and manufacturer defects.

On the contrary I think the reduced progress on preventing global warming is not primarily because of sceptics, but due to the fact that believer leaders often have very specific solution(s) in mind, instead of being open to any solution that works.

Many green politicians seem more interested in Europes energy independence than climate change for example. And at times those two goals don't work together.

Other times conflicts of interests favor subsidizing less than optimal solutions.

These issues also undermine public trust in climate change efforts.

I think it is time that we demand green leaders to take an impartial approach to climate change solutions and not let them get away with just blaming "deniers".

Your situations are not comparable. It's impossible for a human to tell the difference between methanol and ethanol using our readily available senses. Once the methylated spirit is removed from its container there's nothing to warn someone the alcohol is poison that will probably intoxicate, then kill or blind them. Methylated sprits substantially increase the risk of death for no other advantage than to prevent tax evasion. It's the equivalent of deciding the punishment for tax evasion is to execute one in every hundred tax evaders.

Physical barriers on the other hand are both obvious to car drivers, there's no situation where a car driver believes a physical barrier might be safe to drive into, and more importantly, physical barriers are used to protect other road users, not punish people. So you're trading an increased risk of death to prevent bad driving, you're increasing the risk of driver death to reduce deaths caused by bad driving. If drivers regularly strike a barrier that protects a school, it would be completely unreasonable to remove that barrier, and allow drivers to strike children instead.

Nicely said. The "how much better could it be" argument frustrates me at some levels, particularly in those areas where fundamentally solid science is going on. There is seemingly a constant push to evolve things that "aren't done" (if they were then perhaps they would have evolved themselves to some other area/field). "Making it better" is a worthy goal, but I've seen, as you've precisely pointed out, that turn into academic discussions (and funding) completely out of touch with the foundation of what they were trying to "make better". For example there is a dedicate forum in an upcoming conference on NFTs and their role in funding the science I work on. In my nightmares I can imagine being asked to setup the infrastructure to support them. This is lunacy, clearly if those good folk are desperate enough to consider this, they are not getting enough $ (they aren't). Science needs time, a lot of it, scientists need the freedom to sit and think, and think, and years later think some more. I would argue that the absence of that type of framework is the root cause of what you point out- chasing the hype train, get on, get off, shallow, superficial ideas, with no reference to the past, well meaning perhaps, but ultimately not strengthening a foundation. A tricky topic indeed.

Well the “chart decreasing” emoji is blue. So that whole thing about Japanese stock exchange is wrong…
Important in what way?
Yeah. I first learned about slavery (and, for that matter, since it was a popular cause at the time, south Asian sweatshops and child labor) in first grade. This was a pretty run-of-the-mill public school, and obviously for first grade we were taught at a level relative to our world knowledge, very ideologically rather than politically oriented: people oughta be free, kids should be in school not factories, look at what you have and compare it to what they have/had, etc.

But my first grade teacher was a flat-earther so I didn't really have that going for me.
yeah. i agree it is a mistake. but I got many times sidelined or robbed of an idea or a project after starting it and involving other people too early. it happened for instance that I started developing a GDPR tool mentioned it to my manager, he then told me a few days later that there was a manager working on this and it was in the making. the manager in question never had anything on the topic, did not start anything as well. two weeks later he had a power point and hired an intern « to work on this topic » he presented the deck to VPs, every one clapped said it was amazing. I had the full mvp working - demo-able and he was supposed to be the one leading this after this presentation.

so I guess id rather do too much work before looping in others
> So at any point, you could select an artist and see both their albums and tracks. Or you could select no artist and see all albums and all tracks. You could select an album there and see all tracks in that album. You could pick a track from the full list, etc.

iTunes does this on the desktop. It shows up as filter panes at the top of the master tracks list, allowing you to narrow the list by selecting one or more genres, artist or album. And selecting items from any of those filter lists narrows the other lists accordingly (e.g. select an artist and it reduces the albums list to the albums they own or appear on and the genres list to only those genres in the filtered tracks).
> If it's extremely rare, then this is a reasonable use case

I don’t really see the point of risking poisoning people as a way of dissuading tax dodging especially when alternatives exist. In the same way we don’t put solid barriers on roads unless people walking need to be protected - when a barrier is there to dissuade a driver it’s designed so a car runs through a barrier without hurting the driver and passengers.
The country did spend trillions on COVID relief. I don't think that that qualifies as "monetary policy", but it is something Congress did to keep the economy going.

I think it's hard to say this didn't contribute to the demand side of the equation, since a lot of that COVID relief was put into the pockets of upper middle class small business owners. I personally know of several that are spending their six-figure paycheck protection "bonus" on some of the things that are in short supply right now (i.e., houses, cars, remodeling).

In hindsight, these loans should have never been forgiven.

Agreed. Such a step back in power user features these days; being able to say "create a playlist of all songs in genre X with 4+ stars" or "Play 5 star songs I haven't listened to in at least 12 months" was amazing.

The SV “campus culture” is a contributing factor to the area’s overall social dullness. The downsides of this are not immediately apparent but there is an opportunity cost to eating all your dinners with the same group of (mostly) guys and salad bar take-home scavengers.

One thing I liked at Apple is that at 4pm, almost everyone went home (many commuted via the company bus). A coworker of mine who had moved from Apple to Google and back to Apple preferred Apple because people there have more “fire in their belly” and a bias toward getting things done rather than availing themselves of benefits and treating work as a retirement home.
I worked at a bit campus with lots of perks. It felt more like college than work. Especially with how people stayed for dinner and the campus was busy from 7AM to 10PM. I can see how this could be dangerous.

> The toxicity of denatonium benzoate is low with acute po LD50's in rats of 485-740 mg/kg.

https://www.chemsrc.com/en/cas/3734-33-6_1028011.html

TYPE OF TEST:
LD50 - Lethal dose, 50 percent kill
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE:
Oral
SPECIES OBSERVED:
Rodent - rat
DOSE/DURATION:
584 mg/kg
DOSE/DURATION:
508 mg/kg

Non-toxic definitely means that common exposure to the product shouldn't pose serious risks to one's health. In other words, licking a Nintendo Switch cartridge should not result in a dose of denatonium anywhere near high enough to cause any deleterious health effects. Drinking entire bottles of the stuff probably will.

This luster dust apparently contains lead, how these manufacturers managed to conclude that it is non-toxic is beyond me.

My 3a XL has been completely and totally bug-ridden since upgrading to Android 12. I have used Android for the last 12+ years across inumerable phones, and this is the worst Android experience I have ever had.

- Sometimes I'll unlock my phone and the stupid new fade in effect gets stuck half way and my phone screen will just be dark until I sleep/unsleep.

- Sometimes the buttons in my top menu decided to just not render, like yesterday when I was under my car trying to activate the flashlight. Requires a full restart.

- The Google Assistant crashes every single time I try to use it, and I'm a big fan/user of Google Assistant. I just can't use Google Assistant. She goes to reply and it just dies mid reply. Every. Single. Time.

- So much more little crap. My phone has become completely unreliable.

When I got the OTA upgrade 6-ish months ago I was certain "oh, Google will fix these problems in no time."
My phone is very quickly reaching EOL and I suspect Google is not going to fix any of this.

If your program is an interpreter, then I think the ownership model is going to be dominated by the program being interpreted, not the intepreter itself... That is, has to be general enough to interpret any program, and many of those programs will have cyclic data structures.
