Tell that to HR/whoever is selling hiring software. It's nearly impossible to get past the resume screening process for many entry level jobs without a college degree. The starkness of the divide between have and have-not is what motivates the push for widespread college education.

There seems to be a bit of narrative about "not burdening taxpayers" for a few years while students are in school.

I have to ask, what happens once they finish school? Do they not join the legion of taxpayers?
Is it only CURRENT taxpayers that have a say in this, and not say all voters?

I do think there is a lot of upside in letting people pick what and where to study. It's a collective investment in our future generation.
When you find a southeast Asian person talking about "neighborhood" or "neighbors", e.g. "he's from my neighborhood", "they're from a neighborhood over", understand that these are nearly always thinly veiled references to caste (that, or they merely serve as proxies to talk about caste in a socially acceptable manner). You will almost never, ever, hear your everyday person talk about caste.

I think there's a growing level of knowledge in some niches that's leading to higher quality items in some circumstances.

In power tools for instance, there's a number of YouTube channels that do high quality testing. In some cases some identified faults appear to have caught the eye of the manufacturer. Hopefully over time this feedback loop will result in higher quality products that still hit their price target.

This is an interesting take. Money makes the market go up. It's true that retirement funds and such can't wait forever to invest their customer's money so they have to buy no matter what the market is doing. Retail investors are the ones that go in out of the market trying to time it. As long as the balance between people retiring is lower that those saving for retirement the market will continue to go up in the long term. The current dip is temporary. I don't know the timeline but I'm betting that within the next 2 years we'll be hitting new highs again.

> Certainly nothing like legal recourse like you’d get in an actual court in the real world.

The "real world" is full of corrupt institutions and people in positions of authority that are not working with the interests of ordinary citizens in mind.

The "real world" is also a place where people have ubiquitous access to the internet, but don't have access to banking systems, easy credit or fast/cheap ways to settle minor disputes.

For these situations, a system that can provide an alternative to the established, well-functioning institutions is better than nothing, even if flawed.

Cost today? Or last year? Lithium prices have increased over 400% last year. If demand increases suddenly, price will increase as well. The demand for batteries has led to drastic increases in the cost of input materials: https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/batteries/chart-lithium...

For this reason, the costs of recent battery storage has risen considerably. Recent storage projects ended up paying $567/Kwh : https://www.utilitydive.com/news/new-york-battery-storage-co...

This is the scaling problem: if you try to deploy batteries at scales relevant to the energy grid you outstrip the supply of inputs. In order to keep up with demand, extraction industries have to tap more and more inaccessible reserves thus driving up costs. Remember, global electricity usage is 60 TWh per day. And that's just electricity, total energy use is about twice that at 120 TWh per day. Even just 12 hours of storage is hundreds of times the annual battery output - most of which isn't going to grid storage but rather electric vehicles.

I occasionally tag in to check their procedures | results (ongoing math consulting group job) so I know what my chances are and have no serious thought of winning big - I "play" because I can afford it, because I approve of where the money goes, and because between small ongoing "wins" (it does a good trickle payout), past grants, and salary from checking their books it's been an essentially break even venture to date with an outside chance of millions ..

TBH I don't think I'd play any other lottery - this one's pretty much about the proceeds staying local for me.
Ok, I'll chime in; I'm opposed! :)

I'll agree we need a system of credit histories, but what we've got now is terrible. The current vendors have no serious liability for breaches, and are pretty lax in how they do things. I'm opposed to the way they do it now.

Things could be much improved, and transparency brought into the process. Make vendors accountable for privacy and accuracy.

I don't think it will happen anytime soon, but this is something congress can fix, but they just don't have the will to.

to be clear, I'm not disputing that in some areas of web dev, Windows is less supported than Linux, I'm just saying that a significant percentage of web devs use Windows, whether or not an open source project decides to keep this into account is obviously not up to me to decide, and I can understand why some projects, especially smaller one, might decide to focus on Unix/Linux in the initial periods.

This is in the suburbs of Los Angeles. No one chases the guy who comes around to collect bottles from our recycling, because he is careful and doesn’t knock over the bins. Some of us leave the bottles and cans on the side of our trash cans to make it easier for him. He is always friendly when I say hi to him.

I am not sure what you mean by the store turning you away… there is a location where you turn the bottles and cans in to get paid, it is not connected to a store. It is run by the government.
I suspect that many manufacturers would love more transparency in the supply chains they themselves depend on, and are only a little less in the dark than their consumers. [no personal knowledge of industry, just an observation from various news accounts over the years];

I'm really grateful for Michael Forney's work on this project since I found it a good resource for getting a variety of popular packages to build statically.

I ended up starting my own statically-linked Linux distro, but with some creative differences like shell scripts (vs Lua scripts) and package management. I recently "finished" it (close enough anyway) to the point that I run it as my daily driver.

Not trying to plug my project (it's not public, not yet anyway) but if anyone wants to discuss this sort of thing (distro creation and static linking in particular) and compare notes via email, I'd be happy to.

No where in that thread is he suggesting they weren't standing on the shoulders of those who came before, but he's also right a rendering engine is not a browser and at the time Chrome was revolutionary in a number of ways. It was crazy fast. Even compared to other khtml browsers. It's multi-process architecture meant that for the first time a single page or tab couldn't take down your whole browser. And yes that was something I experienced frequently at the time. 200 person years to deliver a full browser that was an leap forward compared to the rest of the browsers is seriously impressive. His point stands they did it without a death march.

I can think of a few specific cases where social media status can have an effect for a regular person (more specifically, a non-influencer), though you're right that status typically doesn't block off main features.

- For LinkedIn, there have been cases where certain job positions (typically sales, marketing, and social media management) actually prefer candidates to have a certain number of followers (500+) as evidence they are good at using social networks.

- For Twitter, some people in certain social circles allegedly judge potential dates based on their number of Twitter followers. At a less extreme sense, some people judge others with wariness if they have no social media accounts. You can easily avoid having deep relationships with these people, but status can have real-life effects. Separately for Twitter, you may be more likely to get customer support by publicly mentioning a company, if you have more followers.

- Lastly for Reddit, having less karma or a newer account raises suspicions you are a bot (some subreddits actually forbid newer accounts).

In practice, none of these really matter if you don't work in sales, don't date or befriend people who care too much about social media, don't comment on more mainstream subreddits where there are karma thresholds, and can do without mentioning companies publicly on Twitter for support as a last resort. However, there can be real-life effects from internet points.

You might also marvel at the abilities of the dragonfly, Pantala flavescen. It is known to do multigenerational migrations over oceans. [1]

>It is considered to be the most widespread dragonfly on the planet with good population on every continent except Antarctica although rare in Europe. Globe skimmers make an annual multigenerational journey of some 18,000 km (about 11,200 miles); to complete the migration, individual globe skimmers fly more than 6,000 km (3,730 miles)—one of the farthest known migrations of all insect species.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantala_flavescens
For several reasons.

One is it is kind of a metaphor for how religious people seem to think about "truth." They think that they have the one truth, the only truth, as ordained by their spirit entity, like Zeus, Ishtar, Ra, or JHWH (the christian god). That their "truth" is the answer to everything. Like in the christian god-entity, people can walk on water or bring dead people back to life. That's part of the TRUTH. Personally, I prefer to use the words "facts" and "evidence" rather than the world "truth", because truth is a very generalized and abstracted concept that can have many meanings and make conversations muddy. If one is saying 1+1 = 2 is truth, and use the word that way, then ok. But usually that is not how the word is used. It's kind of an amorphous term.

Also, it kind of makes me chuckle to write it that way because if you see religious people write or comment, they always use all-caps when they write, in the weirdest ways. So it is mimic of them to some extent. Not just on that word, but all kinds of random words in all-caps.
Yes! This! I boycott step-by-step GPS navigation, and encourage everyone else to do so too. I enjoy navigating road networks, and don't want that skill of mine eroded. When going somewhere I know, I just go. When going somewhere I don't know, I plan the route in Google Maps prior to setting out, and try to memorise most of it, and stop and check the map now and then when my memory fails me. I refuse to be a mindless spatial robot.
If they were dishonest about that then that does not look great IMO. If they weren't and both companies were fine with it then it seems OK.

He was billing the companies 8 hours a day, each. Is this unethical? Sure. But he had no work for weeks and weeks, despite asking his manager daily about it.

I must disagree on the coffee grinder front. There's a great number of decent options well under your given price (I just took the plunge recently).

Brands like Ceado and Eureka make a bunch at various price ranges. 600 gets you a decent one, 1200 and you're well into very nice grinder territory (unless you wanna go all audiophile here).

There's not a ton to go wrong: good motor, bearings, a well designed adjustment mechanism and a good hopper design. Of those I'd really only expect the bearings and motor to die in any reasonable time frame.

If you're that concerned you could always get a commercial model. There's no way home use will kill one of those, but it'll just be big and impractical.

> most people like working alone

I don't agree. Extroverts love working with other people, and love having meetings and 'catching up'. I suspect most engineers, scientists, and programmers lean towards introversion, so we like working alone, but it's not true of most people.

I see that point, which is why I'm not entirely against unions, but they have their downsides too.

Unionization has brought about some very beneficial improvements in working conditions and worker benefits and rights. But unions that get too big and powerful are often just as bad in different ways. They tend to make pay increases and promotions based solely on seniority instead of any measure of actual skill or work ethic, demand adherence to finicky rules about exactly who is allowed to do what work when, lose interest in representing individual workers when they don't fit the mold exactly, be just fine with driving business into bankruptcy or non-competitiveness with international competition, and generally foster an adversarial relationship between workers and management.
That reminds me of something I always wondered: during that window (I'd say, roughly 1975-2000) where Japan had strong brand equity for "quality, reliable, innovative", why did they seem to make no footprint in the US appliance sector? I've never seen a Panasonic washer or Sony fridge.

It wasn't a "we can't make/ship big things with relatively low value density" factor (they made cars, after all) and I'm assuming they were making something for domestic consumption (or were they buying Whirlpool fridges for Tokyo apartments?). Was there some tarriff situation keeping them out of this sector?
James C Scott's Seeing Like a State is recommended (which is great) but surprising that they don't recommend Graeber's Debt. The following quote feels like it should have a citation to the section about jubilees:

> To my knowledge, no one has really tried the logical extreme version of this: set all status indicators to zero periodically and reset the network from scratch. Might be an interesting experiment to run!

IMO, this mechanism is one of the reasons why the forkability of cryptocurrencies is such a huge feature: invoking a jubilee is within relatively easy reach for the population, something that has been locked away by the state for some time now. With a belief in a cascade of currencies, constantly allowing many opportunities to be an early adopter, the "revolution" will be priced in.
