Uber literally just forecasted positive cash flow by the end of this year, and the stock tanked. FB banking on a far future R&D move is not likely to fly well with investors. Most certainly not in the near future.

> For the arrow hint to work at all, countries need to be a single point.

First of all; no, not at all. The arrow hint can work if countries are considered a mass, not a point, it simply means that there can be times when there are any number of correct arrow designations.

Second of all, even if countries are considered as single points for the arrow hint, that is not the issue being presently discussed: that of the distance hint, which is a separate hint from the arrow hint. Countries can be considered as single points for the arrow hint, and as masses for the distance hint.
With a grain of salt, as someone who has not read the spreadsheets (and has no interest in doing so).

The author just seems to misunderstand the relativity of ideology. In particular they bemoan their critics as "..go[ing] with their ideology and status-quo bias, using the latest prestigious papers as fig leaves", but they don't acknowledge that their own findings obviously require some major ideological assumptions founded in neoliberalism.

Critics aren't concerned about the correctness of the spreadsheets, because calculating the value of education as ROI requires assuming that all metrics are objectively (and abstractly) quantifiable, which is simply laughable (in my option). Even ignoring the ideological assumptions you have to make to quantify things like self-actualisation and it's impact on quality-of-life, there's an obvious issue here:

How does education affect our political and cultural landscape? Assuming the math is right and reducing education funding improves the national budget while increasing some measure of quality-of-life, then what's the long-term impact?

The democratic process is fundamentally reliant on the quality of information available to voters. Epistemology doesn't come for free, and "common-sense" is rife with biases. We already have widespread problems with low-information voting, so what happens when we stop teaching critical theory because it's not profitable?

I'm not sure how this is the same, honestly. I'm assuming most of the folks that left went to more expensive places, but got higher salaries, too? Many probably left to go where they feel they have a better chance at building a family?

Such that, I'm not sure how this works. They should count their luck that they have you happy to be there. But luck only goes so far. Or are my above assertions wrong and you think the people that left made a wrong choice for them?

And my assertion on the cost of education is a bit more nuanced. Specifically, I posit that if you transplanted the teachers from the good schools straight into your school, grades probably would not change. It takes more than just the teachers. Even transplanting the administration would likely not do much. The low performing school doesn't need the same level of skill as the well performing one. It needs better. And more.

The nature of these kinds of errors is that when the error favors Amazon (or whatever company), it's "keep the lights on" mode. If it's the company losing money then alarm bells ring, and it's "all hands on deck" to fix the issue.
Not all loans are parasitic - and i dont care for morality arguments since different cultures and belief systems produces different moral systems, and hence not a very objective method of measurement.

Loans that produce higher profit than the interest payment is a good (aka, non-parasitic) loan. The student loans _could_ be good, or could be parasitic - it depends on the degree. Unfortunately, because of gov't guarantees and backing, the risk of the loans is offloaded to the taxpayers, but the profits taken by the private institutes. This is what makes it parasitic in most cases.

If a private entity is not willing to make the loan, then the gov't shouldn't either. Then naturally, only the non-parasitic loans would be given.

I was recently looking at the financials of a FBA business (a business that sells on Amazon and stores their inventory with Amazon)

The fees that Amazon took was DOUBLE what it cost the seller to actually buy the product and have it shipped from China

Once you factor in advertising costs, Amazon is taking something like 75% of the cost of the product

> talking about the student investigating the value of obtaining a degree

Under a system where there was no gov't guarantee, the students won't be the bottlenecks - the lending institutions would be. And any loans that a student _could_ obtain under that scheme would necessarily be profitable to the lender, and thus the lender gets to do the research. The students could too - but whatever the students find, if that doesn't match up with the lender's own research/analysis, the loan won't happen.

It's not Azure, it is how your organization decides to implement MFA. The only time re-MFA'ing is 'required' is when your password expires (if it does) as your token expires.

Otherwise, you could have 365 day token lifetimes if your organization configured it. Or greater.
Not the one you asked, but I'm also stuck with supporting graphql in relatively small project. Zoomers invented SOAP. It's a perfect example of adopting what FAANGS do just for the sake of it. It's probably great when you have dozens of consumers with very different needs and usage patterns. But for the single frontend it adds way too much complexity on the server-side. Debugging, testing, writing tons of boilerate code, not to mention POST requests for getting data - everything becomes more complicated with 0 benefits

Purely anecdotal again. I had absolutely no concentration to write code about 5 years back. I treaded mostly a solutions engineer path since it was the most comfortable option. Somehow stumbled into running and my career path changed. Now I wouldn't say I am a genius programmer but I am certainly much better at design and coding.

Building a good search engine is hard

It gets worse if the content you're trying to index are labeled with the same titles like "me_irl". While they're usually just pointless memes, there are occasionally a few gems that I would like to find again to share with friends but it's basically impossible with such poor signals. I think it's a bit sad that those rare gems are essentially lost and forgotten.
Thanks for posting op, it's interesting to think about.

> Reddit posts are good because the people who create these posts or make comments are doing it to share their knowledge.

I would offer a bit of a different perspective here, I think maybe even most do it for what you could call self-soothing.

For example, a lot of people share knowledge, but it's _their knowledge_, which can also be defined as _sharing their subjective past_ and that's known to be a very soothing thing for people who may even be troubled by the unknown in their personal lives. Hop online, boom, you're a domain expert in your own past. Find a place that's _about your past_, be it /r/linux or /r/formula1 or whatever, and there you go, it's comfy. You generally get an upvote + reply vibes dopamine bonus just for being there, due to your relevant past.

So, Reddit's sooth-sayers (so to speak) are kind of lazy but incentivized-lazy in some ways, which I think can also speak to some issues with the platform surrounding cognitive blind spots and what some here have called the echo chamber effect. That's an opportunity for a new search engine, in some ways, but it also may offer insights to new services that could be even more effective.

> And there is no financial incentive associated with it. [posting on Reddit]

There is though. I mean I've myself been financially incentivized into doing it, as have probably many, many others. Nothing sneaky, even.

You've got people posting their stuff all over the place, and the more community or indie or niche it is, the more welcomed is the post-as-advertisement or comment-as-advertisement. And that's not even going into corporate efforts to operate on the platform, which can be very subtle.

> However, once Reddit creates a search engine, and once people get to know that there is an opportunity to game the system and create a financial opportunity,

Perhaps--but Google was _really_ good for a very long time. That was worth a lot to millions of people.

I like to think that in the future, an ecosystem-mindset toward incentive systems could really help, like planning for different emergent systems that incentivize good results.

Anyway, fun to think about, thanks again.
I've been working on an SDK for Flutter that is simpler, easier to code, and is closer to HTML/JS. You write your code on the back-end, although you could use the same SDK on the front-end. Nim is the initial back-end SDK: https://nexusdev.tools/
I haven’t dug into it too deeply myself, but here’s some numbers from late last year. Note that this as a producer sharing that 40% with the writer half and half (royalty share contract). One month saw 21 sales of a $19.99 audiobook. Amazon reported net sales of $76, so I made around $11.

EDIT: looking closer, 17 of the sales occurred in a market/purchase combination that resulted in no royalties at all. The invoice is less than clear on why those markets have 0% royalty rates. The US market is split in two, one with the expected rate, one with 0. No guesses on how the counts lined up.

So, around 2% real royalty rates, or 10x less than the contract stipulated.

It’s not something worth fighting against for me right now, I’m using it to build a resume. But between this and the rampant fraud they do nothing to curb, it’s not a stretch to call it a scam, both for the producer and the author.

But it’s Audible. What choice is there?

EDIT2: Going to bed. Its not that I don’t like you.
I do. I run Fluxbox on PostMarketOS. I use dino with jmp.chat for mms. I use emacs diary+git for calendar. I have some custom power management service I wrote shortly after getting the phone so it gets long battery life. My bank and brokerage both have decent web sites.

I'll never go back to a non-Linux phone, I'd rather not have a phone at all than tolerate the older mobile OSes.
Just because I happened to be dealing with this today (on Windows with WSL2 but same rules apply) I'll make a comment.

The issue I ran into was due to Docker for Desktop binding the local filesystem into the devcontainer running in a WSL2 VM.

The solution to this is to instead use a named volume in your docker-compose.yml and in your Dockerfile copy the files from your working directory into your devcontainer.

This provided an incredible improvement in the performance of using devcontainers in vscode. The one big drawback to this approach that I've run into is needing to make sure I commit and push my code to a git repo when I'm done working as there's not a copy stored on my local machine.
Strongly disagree about it being (successful) resume driven development mostly.

Most developer's resumes would be vastly enhanced by delivering a lean, technically successful product to end users, or 5.

A lot of developers think playing with cool technology makes them better developers for some reason.

Which isn't true.

What makes them better developers is knowing what that technology does, and choosing the appropriate solution.

And building consensus, managing personalities and driving execution. By being a reliable, high quality human being.

Which is very different to knowing how to operate the API for that solution.

Your spreadsheets look nice! I think if I was a banker I would be thinking "okay but what if no one shows up and wants to buy". All the spreadsheets say is that you will lose at least $140k (probably more if you didn't include everything or were too optimistic) per month if and until you got some solid sales coming in.

So the bankers are just asking themself if they want you are the type of person worth losing $200k per month over and what's the chance you could make the idea work.

Your "downside" being positive also might be a red flag, if the bankers feel like making money in New York City really is as hard as people say. To a NYCer anyone saying "you will make money no matter what" sounds like a hustler.

"People have always invested incredible amounts of their youth into pursuing dead-end career choices. But we deserve to do so for the right reasons and to channel our creativity towards better goals."

When there's a real possibility of meaningful and useful insights, we might consider taking it seriously. For me, this can be linked in part to the person's experience and credibility.

Caplan isn't some interloper with no knowledge of any of the material he touches on ranting on Twitter. The man has a career as an economics researcher specializing in public-sector work and actually teaches economics at a reasonably prestigious university (I have heard of George Mason). Perhaps we might pause to consider that he may be, in the realm of his specialty, not a complete fool. In general, his work would seem to be worth engaging with by his peers.

With that in mind, it is a little concerning that so many people are so ready and willing to argue with his claims yet none are interested in engaging with his work or methodology. Perhaps they, as you, are dismissive because he reaches conclusions they find so implausible as to be not worth engaging with. Or perhaps because as he alleges, the field simply does not value quantitative argument beyond its ability to get a paper published.

For my own part, I think it would be educational to know which is the case. If the former, I would like to understand if this is politically motivated (and a lot of things are in economics, especially in a policy context). In the latter, it leads me to question just about every claim from the entire field, including Caplan's.

I'm not equipped to evaluate his data or critique his work. I won't make the attempt. I would hope for better of his peers, though.

This is exactly right: if Reddit ever decided to build a search engine they'd wind up destroying their site, because everyone would try to game the results and fill Reddit with crap to do it.

The point it is that search engines are adversarial: people who are skilled and determined are actively trying to replace good results with their results.
