Because no one is talking about doing both -- the only policy being discussed by populists is the simplistic option (cancel loans or don't cancel loans). Also, all of those loans (and I have a fair amount as well) were taken voluntarily by adults capable of handling responsibility and consequences. If there was any fair way to do it, it would be to reimburse the last X years worth of student loan payments, such that people who forewent savings to pay down their debts aren't penalized compared to people who did not.

> It literally hurts no one to forgive the loans

Also want to address this, because I feel like it's a common misconception, especially with Gen Z. It's basically an inflationary policy to forgive debts. So it does hurt anyone who is affected negatively by inflation, while certainly not being "fair" for the reason mentioned above (some responsible adults actually paid their debts and are penalized for that). We all make mistakes (such as taking out massive loans to go to acting school and having it not materialize), but consequences are the side effect of living in a consistent reality. If you make financial reality inconsistent by forgiving loans, you incentivize more of that bad behavior. Also note that most degree holders with student debt are not the lower class, but the middle and upper middle class. Student loan forgiveness is a handout for an educated class of people who are generally doing much better than the poorest in society.
I recently wondered if bad dental hygiene can increase or cause more depression.

Since oral hygiene can cause bad stuff in the stomach, maybe it can also lead to bad stuff in the digestive system...

I’ve been feeling sicker than usual lately. Stupid amount of rain in NSW. Went out yesterday morning on a bright sunny day and suddenly I felt much better.

I don't have any experience with iOS, and haven't scripted in anger in powershell.

Linux and its ecosystem evolved alongside bash. If somebody tried to make a thing, and said thing was difficult to script with bash, nobody used the thing. They would say it's "hard to use". So system facilities and applications that don't script well with a shell script like bash (or csh or zsh to tcsh...) never survived.

Basically, everything in linux automation is a nail, and bash is a very good hammer. DOS/Windows has had .bat scripts forever, which is not a particularly good hammer, but more importantly, Windows automation is very much not-nail like. You need a wrench and a socket set for many tasks, and CMD simply doesn't do that very well. (neither does bash for that matter) So powershell is a godsend. Meanwhile, us linux folks are sitting here with our hammer and all of our nails, and ... well, while I see that sometimes, it's maaaaybe nice to have a screwdriver as well, I certainly don't see the need for powershell.

> Particularly in the recent history of "every day, another shell" on linux/mac.

You'll note that all of these shells try to be a better hammer. None of them go in the direction that powershell goes in.
Kids born to a well-off set of parents can absolutely provide opportunities that other kids do not have access to.

Equality of opportunity and equality of effort just can't coexist unless we create some kind of dystopia where kids are taken away at birth and raised in actual similar conditions.

Under equality of effort, additional effort produces rewards/benefits which by definition produces inequality. If we allow any of that inequality to pass to one's children, then clearly you have unequal opportunity when looking at that generation of children.
It’s deleted now, or maybe on the internet archive, but one of the best rebuttals from Internet comments I’ve ever seen was on a Goldberg piece about the trope of neocon puppet masters claiming he had a superior spidey sense of what was anti-Semitic and what wasn’t. The killer punchline at the end was “Buck up, Geppetto!”
Bill Gates and his large farmland purchases paid off bigly.
For many many years I was stuck inside my head. I had erected "walls" to protect myself and keep others out. Being afraid of coming off as weird, being worried about saying the wrong thing, afraid of being rejected, afraid of being assertive. So I would hide inside my head, keep to myself, and when people tried to get close to me (as in trying to be a close friend) I would instinctively push them away, in a sense, to keep my distance. When in social situations I would try to find any excuse to leave as quickly as possible because all I was thinking about was being worried about being awkward or weird or rejected.

At the same time, I became very distressed about being single and having very few friends.

I finally realized why I lacked friends and relationships, it was because I pushing people away. I also realized that the reason for this was because I was stuck inside my head, over analyzing everything, over thinking everything, making up problems in my head, being anxious, worried, and fearful about the past and the future.

So I found "mindfulness" as a way to escape my brain from the never ending loop of analyzing people and social situations, to stop trying to figure out people's hidden intentions, stop thinking about the past and the future. To live in the moment and let myself be me rather than hiding myself.

To me, mindfulness just means recognizing when my brain is a run-away train of thoughts and to not let it consume me. It's about getting outside of my head and into real life. For me, it's the difference of being safe but miserable or taking risks and potentially reaping rewards (friendships, relationships, new opportunities, etc.) The best way I can describe is the stereotypical/incorrect description of being an introvert vs being an extrovert.
Chicago’s Decline Accelerates as Boeing Abandons It
> If racial gaps for Blacks had been closed 20 years ago

A gap is an interval, meaning a spread of outcomes is inevitable in narrowing.

This statement assumes the gap to be closed by raising Black wealth to that of Whites. That's sloppy.

What if the gap is closed by bringing both populations to the median? What if the gap is closed by bringing both populations down to the Black standard?

All three of these are equality of outcome. If there's an argument why the best of these outcomes should be presumed, it hasn't been made.
Fundamentally it's an issue of how people in a settle community, with communal rules and support handle people who aren't part of that community.
Our restaurant used to use Satus Board on a 1st gen iPad HDMI’d on a 55” TV to display employees who were clocked in/out that day, along with their hours worked and a bulletin for general announcements. It was useful for monitoring labor, breaks, and avoiding meal period violations, but ultimately buggy due to a custom internal HotSchedules integration.

We’ve since gotten rid of it and use a new scheduling software with a decent enough web interface & mobile app.
Is it worth it? Does it live up to the hype of bringing incredible peace and happiness?

Ah yes the mythical government monery printing fairytale. Have you ever considered that negative yields are normal and that money cannot reprrsent negative yields directly and therefore must let the unit of account change as the bandaid for what is simply a technical problem?

Oh right I also forgot that people have an inherent desire to lie to themselves. They would rather see the value of their money erode without their knowledge than see their money disappear (at a slower rate) but maintain its value.

By the way. A lot of economic activity appears to just monetize what is or was already there. Like hoe real estate keeps getting more expensive.
One of the advantages of Empire :)
To avoid further use of strawmen, let’s just get very concrete. If a man and a woman voluntarily join the same occupation, and they are in the same percentile when it comes to performance, then they should be paid the same. That is not the case today, even in an industry like tech where genetic differences in strength have no bearing on performance. There are of course many other cromulent examples of gender imbalances in society, and there are other legitimate imbalances related to race, age, class, sexuality, and other factors as well. The reasons for the various imbalances in our society are myriad, but blaming them on some permutation of “the women don’t want to do those jobs” is a little too lazy of a hypothesis for me. I would love to understand how pay equality limits the individual.
I don’t think that interpretation of the metaphor is intended. Just that something good can happen many times and be followed unexpectedly and suddenly by something bad.
Instead of one tinpot tyrant in your life, you have a dozen, each of which wants a pound of flesh from you.

Off topic, but perhaps of interest to anyone dealing with depression. Twenty five years or so ago, someone recommended that I try St. John's Wort. I had a negative reaction - bad skin rash - but the Mayo Clinic mentions that some studies show it "can be effective for treating mild to moderate depression."

They’ve actually gone mad.

I’ve got a bunch of extra hardware I’ve been trying to offload. 15 year old account and I log in to try and sell something and I can only sell 1 thing a month.
If I had I’d created a new account I could sell 10, my past selling history is irrelevant.

Oh, and the ‘user’ who has won/bought my old iPhone X has now twice been someone with no sale history who hasn’t paid. Are they waiting for me to maybe ship it to them by accident? Insane
You are more likely to stay out of trouble if you own your house and have a family to support, unlike housing association tenants.

When it used to be the council providing the housing, some tenants learned they could get a new kitchen every two years, so right on the two year point, they simply smashed it up and the council fitted a new one. An example of the tenants gaming the system paid for by taxpayers. Although Margaret Thatcher is despised by many for doing things like selling off council houses to their tenants, it was a clever way to offload costs back onto the tenants as many bought their homes and started to get into "property" ownership.

The Northern Island troubles with the IRA largely died down because they made more money "on paper" by becoming landlords and gave up drug dealing and knee capping. A surgeon I spoke to once said some hospital in Ireland was the best for knee surgery and those skills have been lost because the IRA werent doing knee capping's any more!

So Maslow's hierarchy of needs is based on things like high priority need for food and shelter at the bottom of the pyramid and social media like facebook and instagram at the top to keep the ego happy with loads of bot followers. You see this everywhere now, even here on hacker news with the upvoting downvoting system, but Google's more recent removal of the dislike button is perhaps best known.

Oh that last point! My friends and I used to just strafe along every single wall and all you could see was the wall texture until it was time to shoot. We knew all the levels so well that just the changes in lighting, or sometimes how quickly a door opened, were enough for us to tell where someone else was (avoid the coloured corridors in Complex).

Yes, I was banned for something similar. I signed up to ebay and put a US$800 bid on an item, and got banned shortly afterwards. Weird. But I did get them to reinstate my account by using the online chat. When I sent an email request they said the ban was permanent and they couldn't do anything, but the online chat support person put me through to a "specialized team", who then reverted the ban.

I think the issue is just that their fraud detection is a bit ridiculous. If you want to buy used avionics, pretty much the only place you can do that is ebay, and everything is $500-1000 or thereabouts. I had never used ebay in the past 20 years, but if I want to fix my plane I'm kinda forced into it.
Remember that companies have been trying to outsource software stuff for 40 to 50 years. If they haven't managed it yet, I'm not going to give them great odds of suddenly succeeding in the next year or two.

Also worth noting that wages have had a long time to stabilize. If some county is vastly cheaper than US/EU, they are either far less productive, or there is some other major issue causing serious problems.

This seems like a weirdly vitriolic post. It's bursting with negative characterizations, (he's a narcissist, he's up his own ass, and that he's not a good person deep down) and the support you offer for these hateful words is... the fact that he doesn't talk about philanthropy?

I mean, it's not that he doesn't engage in philanthropy, because he does[0]. It's that he doesn't talk about philanthropy?

That the other person is following the same system as them to decide whether they "know the numbers". It would be super easy for one of them to say they don't know for some other reason, in which the others' reasoning would be false.
It's interesting because present-day Russia easily combines every disadvantage of the neo-Reactionary dream state, and none of its advantages. Vladimir Putin still has to fight for his legitimacy (in a way that plausibly distorts his policy choices) because he has not leveraged his mass public support by proclaiming himself an actual Tsar. (Of course he could also settle for a far more conventional role as legitimate President of a democratic nation state, but many observers would argue that he seems to be aiming at something different. Which is why this is a sensible question to begin with.)

Ebay has reached that size where it doesnt really matter what they do, you'll see this in the largest of entities unless they seriously fcuk up because of factors like market dominance, saturation, the need to profit take and finite number of users. Hedge funds do this when they buy brands to add to their portfolia, they will streamline, cost cut, perhaps run the brand down to the bare bones whilst they formulate the best "improvement" leapfrog move in their market to perform in a few years time.

It's interesting: Thiel's "truth that few people agree with you" is that capitalism & competition are antonyms, not complements. And he's in favor of the "capitalism" side. His whole business career is about eliminating competition and enjoying monopoly rents. A return to "kings and aristocracy" is the ultimate culmination of this: a king has ultimate monopoly power over the kingdom, where they not only own all the land, but have ultimate say over everything that goes on in the kingdom.

There's an opposing side to this dichotomy though: embrace competition. American democracy, with its separation of powers, is an example of this. The founding fathers explicitly set the government at odds with itself, because when "ambition is made to counteract ambition", the ambitious are so busy fighting each other that ordinary businessmen and citizens can go about their business relatively unmolested.

To answer your question: I'd absolutely work for an anarcho-tyrannist firm where I have no idea who the CEO is and managers can fire me on a moments whim, as long as I can walk into another firm tomorrow and get a new job. Job loss is only traumatic if all your eggs are in that one basket; if there's always another job waiting for you, just go get fired and take it.
except it's not just for function arguments/parameters. It can be used in all sorts of contexts to spread out an array or object. E.g.

```js

const object1 = {
field1: true,
field2: 42
};

const object2 = {
...object1,
field3: 'the meaning of life, the universe, and everything'
};

```

That the order of the numbers is unimportant? Otherwise every non-duplicate solution has a correlate solution, inverted. E.g. (3,2) implies (2,3) is also a solution.

I mean, some random new guy showing up to sell a few hundred pounds worth of electronics first thing has got to look exactly like the fraudsters look to them. This really sucks for the OP, but if Ebay didn't stop accounts fitting that fact pattern, they'd get even more fraudsters on their site.
> If this situation was actually zero-sum, then employees would get paid for a while until companies ran out of money, and then no one would ever get paid again.

You may not have noticed it but you just described an economic depression. During a depression people build up excessive amounts of savings which then aren't being spent, that money is quite literally missing from the economy. Companies eventually run out of money and fire their employees. As idle production capacity is being removed the cost of goods goes up again and those savers saved for nothing. So now you have this boom and bust cycle nonsense.

All the teachers I practiced with repeated to me: don't look for something special. Don't look for bliss. If bliss comes, don't pay attention to it. Bliss is not the aim of this meditation.

I don't know what meditation you are practicing, and there are so many of them I wouldn't be able to give any advice that would work with your own practice.

So I can't know if you are doing something wrong.

What I know, however, is that in the Vipassana meditation following Sayagyi U Ba Khin tradition, one would advice to focus on practice. There is no expectation. Nothing to achieve.

In this tradition, your role is to provide efforts, but one is not responsible for the result. Things are just rising and passing away. Suffering. Bliss. Anything else. Just appearing and disapearing.

Meditation is just the tool to help us live through that.

Peace is not bliss. Peace means you don't need bliss, nor are you hindered by suffering. Easier said than done, and that's why it's a long path.

It's a lifetime practice. You start again every day. One day, you realize you feel a bit more peaceful and happy than you used to. You smile. And you sit once again.
