But, returning to the subject of the article, this is interesting.

Among my peers in the U.S. right now (upper middle class, tech heavy), live-in nannies and full time tutors are unheard of, as the article says. But friends who have families in lower labor cost areas (Mexico, Thailand) often do still have live-in help. Even though they're no higher on the relative income ladder in their countries than I am, the floor cost of labor is so much lower that this is still a reasonable -- and quite common -- option.

Meanwhile, early education is (to my extremely limited knowledge) not an area where one-on-one off-shoring facilitated by technology has really been explored. Seems like an interesting space.
I recently received a copy of a letter with some information about my ancestors from the 1700s. Apparently they owned an inn in a small village in France (it is still there and looks like a relatively nice place to me, so…I guess they were doing ok?). They had 10 children, of whom 6 died before the age of 3. The mother died at age 39, in the last 8 months of her life 3 of her children died.

Yeah, no thanks.
That's an interesting point that measuring inequality as a property of a country may be less meaningful with more and more globalization.
> Is there a limit to this impartiality?

No.

> Should we have saved Hitlers life with a breakthrough transplant?

Yes.

It really is not complicated: Doctors are not in the business of judging their patients.
Given that businesses are taxed on profit rather than gross, probably nearly all of them. But most would move their headquarters to other countries where they can simply dodge those taxes (like many have already).
The more we automate jobs that people hate doing, the more time people will have to do jobs they are really good at and enjoy doing.

Hopefully creating TikTok videos won't be the majority of the creative jobs humans will focus on. There is always that danger.
Fair, but you don't get to choose what you catch and it's extremely unlikely (like, < .001% in the US) that you'll catch Delta instead of Omicron.

I'd for sure choose Omicron, though.
The article mentioned that the Christies lived in a 4th-floor walkup in London.

When I first moved to the big city, I quickly discovered that the cost of parking and insuring my car was more than the cost of the car. This scenario was most likely worse back in those days as the infrastructure was designed to “store” horses, not cars.
I am still using my HTC HD2 from 2009 (running Windows Mobile 6.5) - meanwhile, since 2020, I do have two sim cards, because banking apps do not work on the HD2 and I have a spare Pixel 3a (always on wifi).

The HD2 SSL certificates stopped working about 7 years ago, but I set up an internal nginx proxy that downgrades SSL certificates for me, when at home. I find the RSS-Reader particularly good, because it does not show images, which often disctract from content. Also, the Garmin app works with offline maps, doesn't expire and requires no subscription, and the HD2 is small - therefore quite good as a hiking companyon. It is on its 5th battery so far - this one lasts about a week on daily use, which is often more than new phones today. On the other hand, the Pixel 3a was the smallest phone I could get in 2020, and it is still too big to fit in my pockets.

Exactly. Everyone I know here with a driver owns the car themselves and hires the driver separately. I don't know driver salaries since I don't have one but I'm guessing they are similar to nanny salaries since they are usually full-time 8am-8pm, 6-days a week kind of jobs. The only people without their own car tend to be foreign executives who are only going to be here on a 2-3 year contract.

With current variant "omicron" you are still 11x to 40x more likely to get hospitalized if you are not vaccinated.

So because I am vaccinated I am 11 times less likely to get sick and this is enough for me to not be personally afraid.
But I am afraid for my 4 years old son who still cannot get the vaccine and is at extreme risk of pneumonia if he get a regular cold because of a previous lung injury. So if he get corvid he is almost guarantee to be hospitalized for this reason it make sense to not hang-out with a bunch of people that are 11 time more likely to be carriers.

Regarding your original point "The most effective way to guarantee that rednecks will absolutely never do a thing is to tell them they have to do it"
If this is true how come they still file income tax returns, wouldn't they instead decide not to do it because you told them they are required to do it ?
I think the "Omnicron will protect us" statements are meant to be understood by comparison to a counterfactual world where there's only Delta.
I don't particularly like the current Internet. A lot of traffic is captured by social with the intention promote oneself. Yes, I am part of the problem as well. Yet, the current version of the Internet values outrage over quality trending towards the lowest common denominator. I, in my own personal opinion, have high hopes for a crypto based new new social which distributes the economic value to the content originators and not the meta-middlemen.

Agreed - I’ve spent months working on a deep tech problem before I could even show a functional core, let alone putting it into production. Some problems take time, experience and foresight to solve and the solution only dovetails at the end.

The data for flu is not “with no underlying conditions.” Something like 70% of the u.s. has an “underlying condition.” You’re distorting the statistics to promote an agenda.
That’s moving the goalposts, not knowing it’s possible to do something is quite different than needing to look up how to do something.

I suspect the vast majority of people aren’t going to add a major addition to their house without having someone to do the work who knows about permits, or actually knowing about it themselves. It’s like complaining about how few people know seamanship rules when most people don’t own or operate a boat.
Application does all the processing on client side. It is also an PWA so works totally even if you are offline.
I don't see how it is correct. If you publish to npm, of course you do it the way Node does it, but that's not very interesting. If you publish a module for consumption by Deno, you're publishing TS files, not JS files, and there is no need for .d.ts files.

I joined in the mid-00s and have to agree.

Big social media and especially recommendation algorithms have ruined much of what made the old Internet fun.

There's no longer the discovery or organic sharing; everything is just shoved down your throat by a soulless algorithm.

I personally know people who's calculus on this is literally "I am going to catch covid explicitly so that I can build immunity to covid." These people are idiots. I probably was too hasty assuming everyone in the comment chain was of this mindset before giving them an chance to make whatever potentially rational case they planned on making.

I think they key point of any risk analysis should be that "I can spread Covid even if I'm unaware that I have it". We know that if you have caught Covid once, you can catch it again. We also know that while some people do gain some longer-term immunity to Covid, many don't. There's no way to practically tell if you have that immunity or not. So, based on the fact that you can assume that you'll catch Covid for a 2+ time at any time, and will spread it before you know you have it, the math points to trying to not catch it.

And with that, if you have not caught it once you should really really be trying to not catch it for all the same reasons.

This is assuming you care about reducing spread, of course. If you don't care about reducing spread I can't really debate with you because our moral frameworks are so far removed from one another that there's no sort of argument one can make that will sway the other.

With your own house you can do whatever you like, not so much with a rented one.
> I also think the long-tail economics of capitalism is about shrinking worker entitlements to enrich capital holders. Not too long ago you'd have a house with a spare bedroom or two or three. Now you're huddling in a condo or apartment that's 1bd or two, if you have kids. So we romanticize having less because its easier than challenging the system.

This is way too sweeping a statement on the very complicated housing market that's constructing a strawman (capitalism is a system, it doesn't have long-term goals like a person does.) In the past, most women would not work, so the demand for jobs was nearly half of what it became once women started entering the workforce. As automation became more effective and manufacturing jobs became less necessary, regional centers of production became unnecessary (when you don't need to ship your output you don't need to have a center of hard goods in different physical locations) and jobs began to be concentrated in cities and metros with lots of highly educated labor. In America in particular, new housing construction plummeted after the early '70s and so housing around job centers became very expensive. That and several other macro trends contributed to making job centers in the US expensive to live in. There's plenty of cheap land/housing in the US still if a job is not a factor.

The point is how much money does it take today to have the equivalent wealth status in society as Christie.

It is almost certainly far more than $50,000, which is a tradesman's salary these days.

So, irrespective of what that money now buys, the true inflation figure (how much does it cost to live at a certain level in society) is far greater than the official figure.

My experience with a project like this is unless you do reach fabled 1:1 parity, the new tool is orders of magnitude less useful or even actively harmful.

Saving a minute every cycle sounds very attractive, but when a person spends a morning hacking and then finds out the normal tool chain doesn't accept their work when the optimized one did, they will quickly distrust it in the future. It'll also make them very reluctant to share it with their team.

The only reason my project was successful was we ultimately reached a set of compromises with the team that owned the woefully underspecified tool chain and upstreamed large swaths of changes. I would probably never do something like that again.

Overwhelmingly combustion-engine motorbikes. Something like 7.5-8 million of them on the roads of Ho Chi Minh City.

There are e-bikes around but they aren't very common, at least in the south. Like, I see a few every day so they're not super rare. But...I see one or two a day compared to the thousands of regular ones.

There's also a bit of toxic masculinity around them; I'd say 99% of the people riding them are women. Most often high school or university age.

They are hampered by concerns about theft (it is relatively easy to steal the battery), range, and charging.

A newish brand tried to offer a premium e-bike[1] a few years back and you see them around but not very often.

Interestingly, I was in Hue on holiday a few years ago -- a city in the north -- and, at least in the city center where we were, it felt like it was 30% electric bikes. I don't know if there was a local government policy encouraging them or what.

Honestly, it was pretty amazing. You never realise how much noise combustion engines make until you've seen a huge fraction of them taken off the road like that. It was very pleasant.

"
The couple’s annual income was around around £700 ($50,000 in today’s dollars)—£500 ($36,000) from his salary and another £200 ($14,000) in passive income.

They rented a fourth-floor walk-up apartment in London with four bedrooms, two sitting rooms, and a “nice outlook on green.” The rent was £90 for a year ($530 per month in today’s dollars). To keep it tidy, they hired a live-in maid for £36 ($2,600) per year, which Christie described as “an enormous sum in those days.”

The couple was expecting their first child, a girl, and they hired a nurse to look after her. Still, Christie didn’t consider herself wealthy.

Ignoring the point and rest of the article but it's a strange and uncanny framing to start it, while simultaneously giving the true numbers, trying to suggest that Agatha Christie in this circumstance of having income 25x that of the working class might not be considered well-off.

It’s because the “sending message” explanation is BS unless you talk languages like Erlang. The OOP explanations doesn’t make sense because they are BS. In the real world you don’t ask your shoe to tie itself, you don’t ask a tree to chop itself etc. And in OOP languages you normally don’t ask a string to send itself over a socket or draw itself in 3D using OpenGL. The reality is that you have code operating on data. The same way you have an axe operating on a tree, or your hands operating your shoe laces. That’s it. Everything else is BS.

It's more like 50%: https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/programs_campaign...

And 30% have severe mental health issues (same source).

Treating those issues solves only ~half the problem though (though that's probably 90% of the visible problem). The rest (to your point) is that it's really hard to afford to get a home when you don't have one.

I'd blame zoning as the biggest issue here. Boarding homes and micro-apartments are effectively banned in most cities. Meaning that the hurdle to go from homeless to not homeless is way higher than it should be. Instead of having to scrounge up a couple hundred bucks for a month's worth of housing, you're looking at a thousand or more.

> Neither party can offer a valid argument as to why their principle is true, because both of their principles are normative.

Can you offer a valid argument for the truth of your own principle, that it is impossible to offer a valid argument for the truth of any normative principle? I think your own position is a normative principle, and hence your position is self-refuting.

To call an argument "valid" is to make a normative claim; it is to claim that a rational agent ought to accept it. To call an argument invalid is to claim that a rational agent ought not accept it. Rationality has as much oughtness as morality does, and hence is a normative discipline just as morality is.
I mean it doesn't affect the time they did.

"The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) is a free, open-access online journal, with no article processing charge (APC). We are committed to operating as a free service to our community, and we do so thanks to the volunteer labor of editors and reviewers, and by taking advantage of existing infrastructure. In this post, we examine the true costs of running a journal such as JOSS, and make the case that even when considering all services we don’t currently pay for, the true cost per paper would not exceed $100. Current APCs at many “gold” open-access journals exceed that by one or more orders of magnitude, (see, for example, PNAS, Nature, IEEE, etc.)"

You're making a very basic mistake of logic.

Success (in this instance) requires Popularity but Popularity does not imply Success.

You keep attacking popularity but that doesn't affect success at all. Do you take umbrage with the idea that many working and wonderful products is success?

You are making up an alternative definition of success, which is untestable, and then claiming OOP is not successful based on that. But you haven't disproved that my idea of success is invalid. You keep attacking popularity.
