>There are double standards all aground, and we clearly as a society haven't figured these things out.

We (or at least most people) cannot _ever_ figure it out, is more accurate. From an evolutionary perspective the genders evolved as a division of labor of sorts. And with that came trade offs, so in the simplistic form equality cannot exist, without equality of responsibility.

>it's a very difficult position for me- as a man, wanting equality for women but also being raised to be a 'gentleman', put women and children first.

Ah sorry, the 1 series I just drove also had an "unlock" button on the left side so you had to hold it in a rather unnatural way to get it to move around. And the separate "P" button is also something that kept throwing me off.

In comparison, Mazda I drove had much much simpler approach - grab the stick, push it all the way forward for Park, push it all the way back for Drive. That's it. The "unlock" button was under the index finger so you just grabbed it naturally.

(In general, Mazda felt much better thought out inside than VWs, BMWs and MBs I drove.)
>> The fact that it took 13 years and additional crises (pandemic, Ukr war) for inflation to surface

Anyone trying to save up for a home in the US could probably tell you inflation has been around since interest rates plummeted and then more-so since QE. It isnt an uncommon scenario that families would save more money each year to buy a home with a decent down-payment...only to have homes go up in price more than they saved.

Ask HN: How to Delete an HBOMax Account?
I have an HBOMax account that was previously associated with my Gmail account. I stopped using my Gmail account several years ago and thought I had switched all of my services over to the new account. Going through my password manager, I realized that because of the name change from HBO Go to HBOMax I missed it and had never switched over my HBO account.

So I logged in with my old info and changed my address to my new one. I suddenly started receiving emails about new shows that I have no interest in. The emails have no unsubscribe link in them. I went back to the site to turn off all emails, and it turns out you can't turn off emails from HBOMax, only from their "partners" (which I have done). I further discovered that the account for that email isn't actually how I get HBOMax. I get it through my cable provider. When I log in with my (formerly) Gmail account, it tells me I don't have a subscription. So now I'd just like to delete the account since I don't want emails from them and it's not associated with my actual ability to watch their shows. Searching their FAQs, there appears to be no way to delete your account and no way to turn off emails from them.

I've found various "How To Delete Your HBOMax Account" articles online (all of them terrible) [0], but the links they say to click on don't exist anywhere on the web site anymore (at least coming from Safari on my Mac). Furthermore, they talk about first cancelling your subscription, but as mentioned, this account doesn't actually have a subscription, so I can't even perform that step. They also mention emailing your username and password to the help email, but that sounds like a terrible idea. There's a phone number to call, but I don't want to have to deal with a "retention specialist", though maybe the fact that I'm not currently subscribed through that email and am not canceling my other subscription would help?

Has anyone successfully canceled their HBOMax account, and if so, what did it take?

> The biggest problem in the USA is the complete separation of residential and commercial areas and residential usually means single family homes.

In fact those are two, or even three, different points:

1. american zoning is exclusionary, meaning you can't have residences, small offices or commerces, schools, ... in the same zone, each must be in its own zone, even if they have similar levels of "maximum nuisance"

2. american zoning has a fucked up amount of micromanagement, specifically in order to forbid multi-family dwellings (aka "poor people" aka "minorities")

There's also (3): car-supremacy, with lots of places having insane minimum-parking requirements and many US municipalities having more marking spaces than people, which necessarily craters density, and thus increases distances significantly.
You think the ruling class is only predicated on inherited wealth (at death, ignoring what could be given over a lifetime or via trusts)? Your example is that someone over a million people regularly listen to for an hour each work-night is not part of the ruling class? And that one branch of the family tree that was embroiled in litigation from when she was a minor over her trust and had 4 failed marriages may have only left seven-figures is evidence of total decline?

Meanwhile, the median estate is under $300k and the median bequest is under $100k. The top one percent have seven figure bequests.

Also, she left her fancy NYC condo to someone else, which was probably worth more than the amount she left Anderson. Which actually does put her in line with most Americans, in that their wealth is primarily in a home.

> Suburban single-family homes are specifically an elitist policy.

Prior to the widespread development of suburban single family homes post WWII, most Americans outside of those in rural areas could not afford to home their own home. Suburbs are the exact opposite of an elitist policy, and in fact the overwhelming majority of Americans, including a majority of immigrants, live in the suburbs.
I'm from sub-Saharan Africa and FWIW I agree. The middle class represents a threat to power of the elite which continually tries to disempower it with the help of the jealousy of the "not middle class".

So in countries where the middle class is under constant attack via corrupt use of their taxes, such as my home, economic development cannot really happen. Everyone is living hand to mouth and not able to take risks or invest.

I could be wrong but is China not getting discounted Russian, Iranian and Venezuelan energy right now or do they participate fully in the sanctions? That's a question.

Japan is an odd duck of an economy, I wouldn't use it in such an argument. Switzerland refutes your/their point as a counterexample since they mirrored EU/US policy.

Well Tunisia has been focused on education as well and that hasn't led them anywhere.

Without a solid economy you just end up with like 30% unemployment rate where a large percentage of those unemployed hold higher degrees (masters and PhDs).
> In other words, if you live in a world where only the rich have cars, you reduce inequality by making cars for the poor like Henry Ford, not by taking rich people's cars.

Then Henry Ford displaces John Jacob Astor. You still have wealth inequality, in fact it might have even increased. But the poor now have on-demand mobility to any part of the country in a matter of days.

I don't understand the focus on relative wealth. Why should someone not have, to borrow a phrase, more money than God, if it's not being stolen from others. Why should ability and capital be envied instead left to its own devices?
I think there's an interesting question (and answer) in this article but the author doesn't make it.

Here's what I believe to be the fundamental error the author is making as highlighted by this throwaway line:

"""
... The distribution is not quite that precise. Sometimes you will see a 90/10 relationship or a 75/25 split. But the key finding is that every activity is concentrated among heavy users and popular products.
"""

If the split goes down to 60/40 (40% sales lead to 60% profits), this starts getting into "real" money in terms of trying to capture the other 40% of the profits. Any overhead in terms of distribution, discovery, labor, rent, etc. will eat into that profit pushing it towards more of a 80/20 rule, or even 90/10.

The talk of "long tail" in this context is noticing that iTunes, Netflix and Amazon don't need brick and mortar real estate, don't need warehouses of inventory (in some cases), don't need expensive distribution channels, etc. All those extra costs diminish profits. If the marginal costs of storage and distribution drop drastically this effectively changies the 80/20 rule into a 60/40 one, allowing them to not only reduce the reliance on "superstar" sellers by changing the proportion but also access the remaining tail of consumers.

To further highlight the author's misread, here's another excerpt:

"""
The digital world hardly changes this equation. Even if Amazon doesn’t operate stores, it still has expenses (rent, labor, etc.), not much different than a bookstore.
"""

I'm not sure Borders or Barnes and Nobles ever broke double digit billions of worth. Amazon is values at over a trillion dollars.

It's not that the author is incorrect, the equation is the same, but the generalization of the equation and it's realization seems to be lost on the author. The 80/20 rule can actually be 60/40. To say that Amazon is not much different than a bookstore is like saying a solar system is not much different than a galaxy. Yes, they still obey rules of physics but the scale and scope of relevant details are vastly different.

But, this is all a guess on my part. I think it's easy enough to debunk the article on various aspects. Mostly this can come down to what a good definition of "long tail" is and what you're actually trying to point out.

I do think there is a question underlying the article that should be answered. I think the better question is "Is the 80/20 rule a convergent rule, or can it go down to 60/40 (say) and what are the conditions in which this rule manifests?".

There's also the question of how much resources to devote to providing "long tail" access to whatever product you're selling or market you're in and even if the ratio can be changed from 80/20 to 60/40, say.

For a while I wondered why titles I set in serif fonts looked bad and then noticed that serif fonts seemed to be out of style in general.

Then I read a book that was set in an old version of Palatino where the serifs seemed to be making love to the curves of the letters around them and realized the problem was that most tools (Microsoft Powerpoint and Adobe Illustrator) don't do proper automatic kerning... Somebody must have gotten a patent that makes good kerning illegal. Now I manually kern serif titles and love the results but the experience makes me skeptical of serif fonts in a monospace context.

I'm not sure I agree with this. There's two key parts to wealth: producing enough stuff to make life easy for people, and distributing that to many many people tether than hoarding it for a few.

The amount of production is not impacted much by how how many bushels of wheat, or days of labor of the average worker, we value the Mona Lisa. Art can be wealth, but not all wealth is a factor of production. Labor, land, capital are all factors of production that influence how much stuff is made.

Making sure that everybody has enough to survive, enough to thrive, and enough to be creative and innovate or achieve what they want should be the goal. Distribution not only of wealth, but perhaps as importantly, distribution of responsibility and authority so that people can make the best possible decisions for themselves. Redistributing away from the accumulation of power/wealth into too few hands is very important for that.

Some branches of Christianity argue about this based on baptism or lack of it along the lines of "an unbaptised soul can not go to heaven".

This raises the question, instead of performing baptism soon after birth (and therefore disregarding the child's choice, because of course it wants to be baptized) why not perform baptism immediately after conception?

Also let us remember that the description of heaven resembles the description of a Borg cube. Do we really want to send our children to become part of the Borg?

Curious, just a few weeks ago Tesla stans were claiming that it was just capacity that mattered, not kWh/mile. But it seems now that Tesla is no longer the range champion they have to come up with a new metric.

BTW, this is exactly what everyone predicted would happen when the legacy automakers finally moved into the EV space: they would start using their decades of automotive knowledge and bring it to bear on building EVs. And with the exception of Toyota's recent EV crossover bzwhatever, every review notes how much better the legacy automaker's EV under review is compared to a Tesla vehicle.
I would argue that they only liberalized international trade and investment after they attained success, i.e. their local industries became mature enough to compete internationally.

But I suspect we agree - different trade policies are needed for different stages of development. Fledgling industries need protection, while mature industries want to expand into foreign markets.

Where conflict arises is when mature industries want to expand into developing markets, crushing any local competition. Sometimes this is mutually beneficial (not every country can have leading edge semiconductor fabs), other times it is not (nobody needs McDonald's to feed their country), but those industries will still lobby for trade deals for market access, and use neoliberal trade theory to justify it as mutually beneficial.
