This is very important. But there’s a good solution (last paragraph).

Our old house, built in the 1920s had been basically sealed. Since it was only 1600 sqft and had no air ducts, the rooms were small and got terribly icky. Id crack the window open in the winter to get rid of the humidity (in PA, so hardly mild winter).

You have to realize that a lot of moisture from those those 8 tall glasses of water you’re supposed to drink leave your body as vapor. I think I’ve read half the water you expel is through your lungs [citation needed]?

If your house is sealed this water has no where to go. If there’s four of you it gets bad very quickly. This moisture eventually will escape through your drywall, into your insulation and finally through the cracks of tour siding; but that means materials that should be kept dry aren’t

Our new house is very drafty and I dont plan to fix that until I instal a heat exchanger. The air in the new house is much better, and despite being at least double in size our bills have only doubled (ie the added draftiness doesn’t seem to have had that big an effect)

The solution is a heat exchanger. This is a device that exhaust stale air and replacing it with fresh air while passing through a heat exchanger. You can have very large air flows with the outside almost free energetically.
You know its a crap proposal when heroic bragging about equal pay for everyone ends up being about the gender gap only. Age, religion, nationality and the classic: "I don't like you" not included.
Reading Inform 7 code can be a weird experience. It starts very naturally describing rooms and items, but then you start to see the seams between the colorful language that authors put into the game and the strict syntax of the game engine itself.

There's a Twitter bot that posts snippets of Inform 7 code out of context. https://twitter.com/inform_dreams
I like hope. But this looks dangerous, and I'd like that backed by large reliable data collections (I don't see any sources).
And we have to mention the large lobbying bodies that would be more than happy to see this kind of narrative being spread.

I like this proposal because it is a step towards transparency. It is not perfect, as any law, but the small steps are compounding over time.

Most of the anti-crypto critiques in Silicon Valley bring up these exact arguments: it's speculative, and it enables scams. At its root, it's a hatred of the "get rich quick" aspects of crypto. It evokes the same contempt that old-wealth (people with butlers) have for new-wealth (people with Lamborghinis): that they're childish, didn't earn their privileges, and need to be reined in. It's class signalling.

Thankfully crypto isn't a democracy. Money market funds, banks, stock exchanges, and every other financial institution can be frozen instantaneously by the U.S. President to "prevent another financial collapse". Those who are OK with that much power being concentrated in one person, can continue avoiding crypto. But no amount of public outcry can ban, shut down or criminalize crypto, same as you can't ban IMAP or AES.
> One argument seems to be that cryptocurrency is purely speculative, which is apparently a dirty word. What about the stock market? What about any kind of investment?

Most other assets represent ownership of... something. A company, a commodity, property. Cryptocurrency is closest to either a fiat currency without the government backing that typically tries to stabilize those. Or to more exotic and abstract financial instruments like credit default swaps or shorts.

Basically what's missing is the ability to even guess at the "true" value of cryptocurrency. There's no P/E ratios to consider because the only thing Crypto "produces" is Crypto transactions. It's also impossible to even guess at a floor or ceiling for the price of a cryptocurrency. The only thing that determines their price is human sentiment - a very fickle input.

Because of this, it's likely that cryptocurrency is vulnerable to market manipulation. Both through large transactions and through marketing. See also: the ample evidence of wash trading in the NFT space. In these kinds of situations my feeling is that if I'm not the one doing the manipulating then I'm the sucker on the other end.
Highway infrastructure is also anchored in physics and math. It doesn’t mean we should treat highways like a currency that should be purchased and traded.

Starting a business is open for millions “without western privileges” - and stock is owning a business. Starting a profitable business that adds value (people are willing to pay you for a service) is a lot more useful to society than spinning up another coin that does nothing.

I used to think this (as a euro), then I met an American and he explained that he ended up better off in Europe on a "lower" salary because he hadn't considered the hidden costs of living in the USA.

He claimed (though I'm certainly no expert) that you have to do your own taxes and set aside money for that; he also claimed that "sales tax" had local, state and federal taxes applied, so while it varies from state to state and city to city; it generally ends up being about 18-20%, which is in-line with VAT in most Euro countries.

He made a lot of comments about certain mandatory insurances and the fact that there were no "cost saving" systems, like heavily subsidised childcare or decent enough public transport that meant you didn't have the burden of a car.

Though he said he couldn't imagine living without a car in the US, as it turns you "back into a child". (his words.)

I'm not sure, I don't know everything, but after talking with him I didn't feel bad for being a "poor euro" anymore, because while the absolute "amount" of money he earned was much greater, the amount that he could actually use was lower.

But he also never had any stock grants or anything.. and those are not incredibly common in Europe. So you could be better off anyway. Who knows?
There are different types of speculative investments.

Stocks are backed by the company they are behind, when the company goes out of business the stocks stop trading. When you own stocks you vote on company leadership (or at least should). When the company makes money they pay you cash as a dividend (for tax reasons this most often comes in the form of a stock buy back making your stock more valuable. As such stock speculation on the company not stocks in general.

Historically money was backed by gold, and supply and demand of gold is what governed the price. Today cash is not, and it is only backed by the government saying you have to use it. As such cash is more speculative than stocks, but the government forcing you to use it means it has some power behind it. Bitcoin is backed by some governments, so bitcoin is speculation on those governments (this is new in the past few years and makes bitcoin somewhat less speculative than other crypto)

I don't see the point of crypto in the end. Almost everything it can do is better done by a secure central database, and the rest is a niche that can be handled by physical cash, or a contract (ie check) that is reconciled with the database later. Sure you could use cyrpto, but the energy costs are so much larger that I don't think we as a society can afford to use it.
There's like 4 or 5 extra layers of abstraction/frame works in most systems these days.

Spread out living (which is equivalent to car dependent living) has a knock on effect on consumption of everything, and it is more than a linear relationship.

The more spread out people are, the further water, electricity, gas, sewage, trash, food, human bodies, and everything else has to travel. Energy is mass times acceleration times distance.

In other words, detached single family homes with garages and 2 cars driveways on a quarter acre lot preclude any environmentally conscious changes one could make, barring the miraculous discovery of some new technology that supplants fossil fuels. Or drastic reductions in population.

The simple, but not politically viable, solution is to increase fossil fuel taxes so much that it forces people to give up detached single family homes and individual cars and move into apartment or rowhouses so that public transit can be implemented.

I just wanted to say that you could try a bit harder to justify the price rather than just saying it's "negligible". I think that's very subjective and I personally don't think it's a reasonable price to pay for just storing markdown files in the cloud.

I find myself at the other end of the equal pay problem - I am equally payed with equally titled but not equally working coworkers. The entire management chain has clearly different expectations from me: I get most if not all of the difficult tasks and my coworkers rely daily on my guidance.

In this quarter discussion with my manager I've been told I can not get a pay raise as it would create a discrepancy with my coworker salaries. As an current EU and formal communist republic citizen I find this worrying to say the least. The only option I have is to work less and browse youtube more. As that brings back communist memories I started looking for another job.

So I guess my question is how do they plan to measure the work part of "equal pay for equal work"?
Yes you are correct, except I'm not American also my Grandfather and Uncles are dairy farmers.
It's clear that trump was cheerleading Putin's actions and mocking the US. He even "joked" that we should do something similar on our southern border:

"And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s the strongest peace force… We could use that on our southern border."

His surrogates like Tucker Carlson are also praising Putin and suggesting that liberals are your enemy, not Putin (https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1496290844797992960). This attitude among the American right became prevalent at trump's direction, and it is not an accident.

This may not seem like much to a non-American, but it's a shameful change in our national discourse for a political leader to cheerlead an enemy like this in the middle of a crisis. If you ignore this, fine - but my other point still stands, trump was anti-NATO and wanted to get out of it:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/14/us/politics/nato-presiden... (reported in 2019)

and his concrete plans reported recently:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic...

"‘Yeah, the second term. We’ll do it in the second term,’ then-president reportedly said"

My thought on the entire situation - Putin expected trump to win again and pull from NATO, and then he'd kick this shit off. That didn't happen but he didn't expect Biden to be able to lead a strong, unified response (sanctions etc.) after the disastrous years of trump poisoning the relationship the US has with Europe.

Unfortunately Putin just has to wait until western nations to elect fickle / Russian aligned leaders (like maybe trump again in 2024) to win out.
If you don't care about proprietary OS and want something that follows the Apple HIG, as well as working across Apple platforms, NotePlan is also worth a look. it might look like a task manager at first, but it actually has very solid note taking / backlinking / Zettelkasten abilities. it also has a really approachable/hackable JavaScript plugin api (that works on iOS!) which is not obvious on first look.
Maybe pay shouldn't be based on the personal ability to negotiate, which is not a core competency for most jobs, but on a equal compensation for equal work then...

Being sad/concerned that your culture is going away is not the same as racism against people.

If they were planning an attack on a group of people based on their race it would qualify, but that’s far from this.

You can be against immigration (to protect your culture, the gains of your country) without being against individual of any race.

Before a stupid argument breaks out, everyone please note that a stock buyback is basically equivalent to a dividend with a different tax treatment; both are returning money to investors.

It's also theoretically possible for some of the crypto-token-organisation things to pay dividends, but it's far more common for them to simply take the money and run. Because a token is not a legal framework like a company is.
It's public in many countries anyway - Norway and Sweden at least have public tax returns.

>The whole reason why most nightmarish historical moments are considered nightmarish is because they give certain groups drastically elevated rights, and others none. Talking about an apartheid society without talking about privilege is nonsensical.

The 1950s were not nightmarish for anybody actually living in them. Racial minorities, though still mistreated, were mistreated a heck of a lot less than in decades prior and had much more economic opportunity though they were starting from lower on the ladder on average than white people.

That economic opportunity is what everyone wants back.

The fact that you can consider the 1950s in the US a "nightmarish historical moment" is nonsensical, to put it very, very charitably.

IMHO: There is a difference between the job you do and your career. My career (programmer/software developer/software engineer/computer scientist) will last my whole life. It's something I like (I chose it) and it's something I can do on my own. It is independent from money and any material thing. It matters to me.

My job (currently: senior software engineer) is a
different beast, even if it touches on aspects of my career. I do it to pay the bills. I do it in a professional way but that's all about it.
don't think anyone associates so much with their career, it's all for money and that's my only motivation to work
I agree.

> If you’re leaving your company because the market is hot right now and your company can’t give you a raise that might not even change your life, then maybe you should question again.

If your company cannot afford to give you a raise, and that raise isn't excessive, then it sounds like the problem is still your current company.

My advice is the opposite: Make your decision on quantitative not qualitative measures. I've seen a lot of people leave a good position that pays well to go work in a technology or domain that they think will make them more satisfied in their career and then realize they left a team they enjoyed for one they didn't. If you are moving for $25k increase in salary, it makes the risk more tolerable.

How did the company do long term? Was it growing/successful/profitable?

If so, maybe high turnover worked for that particular business. Doesn't match up with what I've seen from software businesses in general, though.

Would be interesting to see if there was any research on the impact of attrition on business success.
No. Individual personal salary is private information protected by law (at least in our country). Starting salary range in job offers is public, that's not enugh information.
The idea that the average income for men and women isn't the same is not fiction at all, it's completely real.

It is also not the idea that is frequently paraded around when talking about a pay gap, since it can actually be argued against in sensible terms, for example, if women simply ask for raises less often than men, is that really unfair?

What more often than not happens is that the idea of a pay gap is presented as if women were earning less solely because they are women and their employers simply decided to pay them less for that reason. That is fiction and a whole bunch of us are tired of it, exhausted even.
No that is how the system works today. I would like, and have always wanted a way to disambiguate without creating a new title. There should be some sort of visual indicator that we are going up to the parent level without creating a sibling to the parent.

p: they are like cars but on water
title: motors
p: ships have motors
p: spin around
p: very powerful
p: ships can be used for many things

p: fish are in water, so the incentives are super-aligned
The decline of the British Empire is definitely an interesting subject, especially as its territorial peak came relatively close to its precipitous decline. While I don't think the notion of being a former superpower really defines contemporary British politics in the way many outside commentators assume it does, the speed which that decline happened definitely had a marked effect on how our political history played out in the 20th century.

I quite like your proposal for elections too, although its implementation might be difficult when it comes to paper-based electoral systems! It would be interesting to see what effect it would have on the Overton Window, I suspect it would lead to policies becoming more incrementalist and less radical across the board. I would be concerned about it giving more de facto power to the press though.

This was a problem ever since I use the internet, which is for 20+ years. Hardly a modern problem. Google became a major player back then, because of the sort of good results it returned, but people always found a way to poison the results. Keyword stuffing worked for a long time and got ever more creative. Not to mention the myriad of popups, pop-unders and small iframes all designed to increase visitor metrics.

I'd like to say two things: I think the bad intent was always there and you can do nothing about it. This has not improved and never was it better than it is currently. If it was better, it was a period that's unsustainable for some reason, and the reason I suspect is that human nature in itself.

The second thing is that there are wonderful stuff that otherwise wasn't accessible. What you need to do is learn how to navigate among the bad stuff, to get to the good stuff. Wikipedia for one is a pinnacle of this. As much problems as it has, I think it's fantastic to have that resource.
