There definitely is a social media trend not only on TikTok but on YouTube, Twitter, etc. of people publicly disclosing their salaries.

There might be some amount of clout-chasing and humblebragging to this, but it also fits the spirit of the trend towards pay transparency as expressed by tech and/or young workers online.

My problem isn't that I think people should be credulous of everything, it's that I don't think "it's just obvious" is a proper counter to experiments that show nothing. If the effect is so obvious, it should be obvious how to design an experiment that would show it.

I don't even know what you're defending here other than believing your first impulse above any subsequent evidence. Nobody is preventing anyone from proving an effect, in fact they poured money into the attempt.
Not a great journal if you are trying to publish something with potentially large import. Its reasonable to guess that something is seriously wrong with the study to not get it in a good journal. This publication does not move my opinion on the matter.

> It must be possible because most budget and time estimates end up being way off anyway. Virtually no real projects are managed on the basis of accurate estimates of how long they'll take or how much they'll cost.

Making decisions on the basis of an estimate which could be plus or minus 50% is fine.

It’s better than making a decision on the basis of nothing at all, and then managing the project with no clue about how long it should be taking or costing.

> If management were really in the business of setting budget and time constraints, projects would constantly be getting canceled because they went $100 over budget or a week over time.

This isn’t the idea of estimates - the main idea is so you can effectively allocate resource and understand cost/benefit. All companies have limited resources and must decide if they want to focus on feature A or feature B, and part of that decision will be the likely cost, risk, and timeline to deliver.

You aren’t going to cancel a project when it goes (a bit) over budget because the development costs to date are already sunk (ie you only now need to consider remaining development effort in the cost/benefits calc) and the benefits are probably still the same.

Why doubt it? People made beer at home from barley and water and mugworth, it was decidedly not expensive.

Today the Czech Republic is the country with the highest beer consumption per capita, at 140 liters per person per year. Germany clocks in at 99, and the US is at 72. In the late middle ages, the average in Britain was 300 liters per person per year.

In 1830, Americans over the age of 15 consumed more than 31 liters of pure alcohol per year. If that was all in 7% beer, it corresponds to 1.2 liters of strong beer every day. Probably quite a bit was also in whiskey, which was cheaper than milk back then.

To be quite honest, it is very useful for cyclists to behave this way when they have to constantly fight traffic because it makes drivers give them a wider berth. You don't know what that bike's about to do, so you stay the fuck away instead of blazing by too close.

On the other hand, people who can't bother to get a bell for their bike and zoom past pedestrians are dickheads.

Porn properly engineered to suit men’s desires suck. This is just my experience but they don’t work. Good porn has female audiences or are sometimes even authored by cis female person even when the product is classified as “for men”. I don’t know if opposite is true as well but this “porn is men’s thing made by men” don’t seem factual.

All around training is very important if you want to avoid injury, particularly if you're going to do things like try to ride 1,000 miles in one push. For this condition in particular, there are plenty of exercises one could do. These look good.

Most people assume the only goal of training is to improve performance in one's particular sport, but in reality, one-sided training creates imbalances that can lead to injury, and a central goal of any training program should be all-around strength and flexibility.

A Fortune article https://fortune.com/2015/04/14/ceo-indiscretions-cost/ summarized an academic paper "The Consequences of Managerial Indiscretions: Sex, Lies, and Firm Value" https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1573327.

"Knee jerk reactions to the announcement of an extramarital affair or lying about qualifications would seem obvious, and an immediate damage to a company’s stock price is almost inevitable. But the damage lasts longer. Indiscretions are not just associated with short-term stock price damage. Stock prices at companies that suffered from CEO mess-ups fell in total by between 11% and 14% over the subsequent 12 months.

Firms with badly behaved CEOs also have poorer operating performance during the fiscal year in which the CEO is found out. And such companies are also far more likely to be sued by shareholders, and they are more likely to the subject of an investigation by the Department of Justice or the Securities and Exchange Commission, or both."

When using ephemeral cloud servers (Cloud Run, Lambda functions, etc), I often find myself wanting a quick and easy database to persist data. I've found cloud storage to be the best place for this but wanted a unified API between providers. I also wanted to be able to build an object on the server before persisting to the storage provider, so I came up with this approach.

What other approaches are people using for this problem?

> Everybody I know is desperately trying to hire, and finding that even decent candidates can afford to be really choosy right now

In the market that I'm seeing in London UK, everyone seems desperate to hire at salaries that no longer correspond to the cost of living. I don't see many actually putting decent numbers on the table, suggesting 1) they aren't that desperate or 2) those that are putting these numbers down have no trouble filling their positions quickly and they don't stay on the market for long.

Keep in mind that in most places, taxes have yet to adjust for inflation, and/or the government services funded by those taxes degraded beyond usefulness meaning you now have to use your after-tax take-home money to pay for services that you used to rely on the "free" (paid by your taxes) government-provided service.

You can't walk into a huge tech co and make a dent because huge tech co already has hundreds of engineers on that job full time. Just look at the papers coming out of huge tech co's. They will publish if their technique saves them 0.2%. That's how tight things are already wired in the big leagues.

The real money is in huge non-tech co, or medium tech co. You could walk into a goldman sachs type of operation and point out savings in CPU time that would be 90-99%. But they're not going to care, because their corporate structures aren't wired to observe and act on such things.

Hard disagree, the objections are still quite legitimate, especially the point about dodging accusations of racism and sexism. Haidt in particular seems to subscribe to the idea that if it was appropriate in 1950 it’s appropriate now. Centrists won’t win if they can’t address 2022 values.
I think the book's theme translates pretty well from TV to social media. It's just faster response times, more energetic, higher dopamine release etc. But all the core issues that were raised are more or less the same.
I use Hazel[0] to archive everything in my "downloads" folder after a month. Files get separated into "~/Archive/Images/", "~/Archive/Screenshots/" "~/Archive/Audio" ..." depending on certain criteria (mostly file type). Each sub-folder is broken down by year and month, for example "~/Archive/Images/2015/05/". I also occasionally dump stuff that doesn't belong elsewhere into the same folder system, for example WhatsApp media.

Basically, if it doesn't need to be specifically filed somewhere, I just put it in my "downloads", knowing that it will be somewhat searchable in the archive by either date, file type or in-document search. This is great for all of the bits and pieces that you don't necessarily have a home for or want to manage.

I wish there was a difficulty for non-native speakers. Flesch-Kincaid score does nothing for the majority of readers if it doesn't distinguish between Night and Day (Woolf) and Shakespeare's Coriolanus.

Flesch-Kincaid makes little sense to me for books aimed at adults in general.
Probably: The search engines and sites you access are reporting "guy in ZIP code 12345 is interested in <x>". Later, Windows says "what ads should I show to this guy who is located in ZIP code 12345 ?". Chances are you'll get ads for <x>. ZIP code (or equivalent location info) is coming from your ISP. Nothing personal about it, other people in same ZIP code also would have higher chance of seeing ads about <x>, they just don't notice.

Search for "stop ads in windows start menu" and you will find many articles about how to turn off ads.

FWIW, seems perfectly reasonable to have keyword tracking for something that has very little activity.

IRRC the studies showed a 60%-90%[1] reduction in hospitalization, not a reduction of infections. IIRC, there is an inferred reduction of death because of the reduction of hospitalization, but it's very difficult to make a big enough RCT with enough death to be statistically significant. IIRC some people claim reduction of transmission because the vaccines reduce the virus load, it's plausible, but the evidence is not hard enough for me.

> industrial and alleged military secret regarding the ingredients and the mechanism of these injections.

IIRC the FDA and the equivalent agencies in other countries get the complete list of ingredients, there are not secret parts like in Coca Cola. Also a good chromatography can reveal all the secret ingredients.

The mechanism is very well known, it depends on the vaccine anyway. I don't understand what they mean.

If someone doesn't like the new fancy RNA vaccines, perhaps can try to get one of the old school vaccines with "dead" virus like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinopharm_BIBP_COVID-19_vaccin... They have a lower reduction of the hospitalization rate, something like 60% instead of the 90% of the RNA vaccines like Pfizer/Moderna. [2]

[1] It depends on the vaccine.

[2] Or a vector virus vaccine, that are somewhere in between of the effectiveness and classic-fancy scales.

I'm sure there's some truth to this but I don't think that is what is happening in this case. From what I can gather, this is about people who trained for a goal, and during the event an unexpected "weak link" in the chain gave out so they found a mechanical solution.

I'm sure if most of them had gotten this during training, they would have taken the time to recover.
Renweable energy was not the "main cause" because it reliably fails to generate adequate amounts of power at that time of year and so the grid was entirely reliant on other generation (mostly natural gas) to fill in the gap. Basically, it wasn't the fault of renewable energy because everyone knew it was useless anyway.

Thanks for sharing the project, and I look forward to my next read!
