Germany is 87% not just white but European white. 74% of those are ethnic Germans. Gini is 0.816

Canada is 72.9% European white and Gini is 0.728

The U.S. is 60% non-Hispanic white and Gini is 0.852

These numbers don't capture everything (e.g., distribution going in to Gini is important), but they do capture a lot. I think the conversation could do without the race-baiting, too :-(

I agree with this, but in spaces where bad faith is the predominant form of communication, you'll probably be accused of being a centrist for not falling exactly in line.
Fox News took a shift toward more alarmism and a bolder, "holy shit things are happening!" look after 9/11[0]. My recollection is that it had another major shift—independent of other media, this time, which shared some of Fox News' alarmism after 9/11—around the time Obama's Presidential candidacy started, moving farther into entertaining and promoting fringe ideas (like the birth certificate thing), and kept going down that road afterward.

[0] A little while back I was at my parents' house and they had Fox News on in the background (of course) and I noticed that this has now gone so far that everything at the bottom runs with a big "FOX NEWS ALERT" tag and all the trappings that come with some kind of urgent announcement—for every little mundane thing, no exceptions.

I came from Windows about four years ago.

The two top bad points in the article can be fixed with addons:
- Moom (https://manytricks.com/moom/) to snap windows,
- Contexts (https://contexts.co/) to switch between apps.

Yes, it would be better if this functionality was included, but it's an easy fix.

The thing that was a dealbreaker for me with Windows is that it would reboot to upgrade without my permission and I would lose work. Mac doesn't do that. It may reboot to upgrade when I"m not looking, but you would never know as it puts you exactly back where you were before the reboot.

That one thing will keep me loyal to Mac.
> There is no indication at all that companies would compensate employees more if they didn't have to pay for their health insurance.

Employers use a figure called "total compensation" for what it costs them to employ someone. This includes salary and the cost of all the benefits, including all the so-called "employer paid" taxes and benefits. The WSJ ran an article long ago that showed employee productivity matched total compensation, not salary compensation.

Employers certainly do care about the cost. They don't care what percentage of those costs go to employee takehome pay. But offering pre-tax health insurance means the employer can offer less total compensation.

Any economic article that talks about salary instead of total compensation is either ignorant of accounting reality or is trying to mislead.
This hasn't happened to me yet but I have noticed they have been pushing their "give us 10% and you'll get your money sooner" service in an almost dark patterny way. And there's been some weirdness with sending invoices for the last several months. So, agreed that they might be in trouble.

We do have a bidirectional Jira integration. It pulls in the basic information, and then also adds a Jira "attachment" & link to the Jira issue. If you close the issue in Linear, will also close it in Jira [1]

If you enable the Triage feature, it works nicely in a way that requests from other teams in Jira automatically come to the Triage queue and you can review them there. Same triage queue also works for customer support tools, sentry, creating issues through the API etc.

> How does one verify and test ones reality.

The short answer is, you can't. At least not about anything that you can't test for yourself by personal experience.

The longer answer is to ask why you care about whatever particular aspect of "reality" you are thinking about testing. What difference would it make to what you choose to do, if reality were one way rather than another? If the answer is that it would make no difference, then the correct thing to do is to not care how reality is in that respect. Have no opinion at all. (There's an old engineer's joke about running tests. Before you run a test, ask yourself two questions: What will I do if the test passes? What will I do if the test fails? If both answers are the same, don't bother doing the test.)

The problem is that our minds did not evolve to be comfortable with having no opinion about something. Our minds evolved to seek answers, not to leave questions hanging. That probably made sense in the hunter-gatherer environment in which we originally evolved, but it doesn't make sense in our world now. There are simply too many questions, too much information, and too little time for anyone to check it all, and there are no "trusted" sources of information we can turn to to just tell us the answers. But it's very difficult to accept having unanswered questions; our minds keep sending us alarm signals even though we might have convinced ourselves intellectually that we should leave those questions unanswered. So many people end up accepting some answer even if it's wrong, and even if the answer makes no difference to anything they actually do.
Generally some form of balanced ventilation (same rate of flow in and flow out) is used.

The latter exchanges heat and humidity.

This is why one faction of conservatives "want to reduce [the federal government] to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." Progressives see that notion as dangerous because they consider the government as an essential tool for solving serious problems that ruin the lives of real people. But their successes will be short lived if an expansion of government power leads to a long term disintegration of our country. Perhaps we would be better off just letting some problems fester instead of forcing government solutions.

I personally use the meta-conversational move a lot, and it usually turns heated political discussions into more thoughtful philosophy discussions. I think because most people don't have such strong identity based beliefs around questions like "how can we know if something is right/true/good/bad, what does that mean?"
A civilization advanced enough to launch interstellar probes and make plans on a 20k year timescale (10k years for the probe to get here, 10k years for them to get here) has no use whatsoever for the paltry resources in our solar system.

I think this is a pretty fair article. I'll add one more:

in MacOS there is no unified way to get to the beginning or end of a line. In Linux and Windows this is done with the Home and End keys. In Mac, there are some shortcuts but they are not universal, what works in terminal may not work in a browser textarea and so on. Some programs interpret the same shortcut as "go to the very end of the text (as in a PgDown key) but that same shortcut, in another program, might go to the end of the line (like the End key).

Please let me know if I'm missing something! Every time I make a web search about this topic, I end up in various pages like this one[1] with shortcuts that don't work for me for the reasons explained above.

EDIT: I found out that there are some Mac keyboards with the Home and End keys. So it seems that this is not an OS issue but, I guess, a MacBook issue (I've only ever used MacBooks and always without external keyboard).

There is no fundamental problem with a forest burning. It might release all it's carbon into the atmosphere while burning, but when it regrows it will re-absorb all that carbon.

Bit of an accounting nightmare. You have to make sure it is allowed to regrow. You can't count that regrowth as new carbon sequestration, it's sequestrating it's original carbon again. And it's also going to take decades before it fully regrows.

> Recent academic studies suggest that social media is indeed corrosive to trust in governments, news media, and people and institutions in general.

The author uses the term social media here in this statement without much differentiation. Elsewhere though, he has differentiated “old school” social media from modern “social media.” I think he should have made that more clear here. He expressed earlier that the effects of “old school” social media were pretty benign.

I would like to propose that the term social media has become varied and ambiguous enough that it loses its value when introspecting on its modern effect. I’ve personally taken to no longer use the term “social media” and instead try to use variations on “profit media”, “engagement media”, and “highly mechanized.” These better capture (for me) the essence of what most modern supposed “social” platforms are really about.
> the extreme polarization in American life didn't begin until ~2010

You're late by about 200 years.

There was an unusually long period from the 1930s through the early 1990s where, due to a set of overlapping partisan realignments, the divide between the major parties did not line up with the main axis of polarization, such that after the end of this period with the crystalization of the partisan alignment partisan polarization increased, but the prior bipartisan era was not one of low polarization, but merely of poor alignment between party and salient ideology.

America’s intense partisan polarization is it's normal state.

> In a nutshell, good faith communication has the goal of mutual understanding, whether it leads to "agreement" or to the other person doing what you want or not. Bad faith communication has the goal of getting the other person to do what you want, by hook or by crook.

But who defines what the goal is? I guess I'm confused as if this is more about a self-reflection question: "Am I trying to come to mutual understanding with this person or trick them into doing what I want?" Or is it about asking this of others: "Are they trying to come to a mutual understanding or trick me into getting what they want?" I think in conflict, very very often we can assume we have good intentions and the other has bad intentions. I'd argue that's one of the most commom things I see in conflict: "I'm trying my best and they don't care about me, they only care about themselves," said by both sides.

> I don't think that's true, nor do I think it was the intent of the article. I think most people try to communicate with good faith.

I hear you and appreciate that. I may have got wrapped up in the frustration I was feeling towards the categorization and exaggerated how much they were assuming that, so thank you for providing your perspective.

> But in the world now, with instant mass communication, the small minority of people who do communicate in bad faith can often dominate the communication process. I think one way of looking at the question the article is asking is how that can be fixed.

Ah, I guess what I took from the article was less that they were asking a question and more they were giving an answer. Maybe I misread the amount of certainty they had in presenting of the solution or maybe I disagreed with the certainty they had in describing what was the specific problem.

As for how to resolve such things, I've often wondered if the solution is for many of us to communicate more openly and loudly. I remember watching a news report on a pharmaceutical sales guy who I think sold painkillers and it seemed to me that he was so focused on making a ton of money because he was quite emotionally numb or lonely. I think so many of us don't open up emotionally to others and start thinking others are out to get us and don't care about us so we preemptively try to get them and not care about them, further distancing and closing ourselves off from them and even ourselves.
"Belgrade to find 0 hotel rooms due to a football match."

Once, I had the same problem due to a football match in Rome. In hindsight, how I got a bed for the night was hilarious but it wasn't at the time as I was dead tired (I'll spare you the details—I learned quickly that very strange things can happen in Rome).

A day or so later I was on a train from Rome to Vienna, the trouble was that by then many of those football fans were returning home so we all ended up together on the same train. To make matters worse, many of them were drunk. Suffice to say, Austrian Customs and border police were not amused, the train was delayed many hours.

See, you're not alone, we all have days like that when traveling in strange places especially so when crossing country borders.

"I love trains. But the process needs improvement, just like airplanes. Long-distance travel without a car is honestly quite difficult in Europe and USA imo."

I agree with you about the US and Eastern Europe, however you really shouldn't have any trouble in Western Europe—France, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, and Germany—even Italy (if you're forewarned what to expect). Of course, here I'm referring to major towns or ones that receive a reasonable number of foreign tourists. As always, small villages and places that are way off the beaten track will be difficult no matter where you are (so are one and two star hotels problematic in such places as they are much less likely to speak English).

In particular, I found such travel by train in the US much more difficult than in Western Europe. It seems to me that since WWII all the once excellent (and traditional) railway infrastructure (such as railroad-owned hotels at or near railroad stations, etc.) has either been dismantled and or sold off, so one ends up at one's destination—even in large towns or cities—without any or minimal local support. Right, all this once infrastructure has been transferred, or relocated or rebuilt around airports.

I reckon the US will have a huge job in reversing the process (or duplicating the infrastructure as it once was around rail terminals), that is if it wishes to make rail truly relevant again.

Generally, Europe is miles ahead of the US in this area of public transport infrastructure.
