Leftist faculty educated students this way. America created these children, but leftist activists raised them, because parents were too busy working through their own self-fulfillment woes.

It's a cultural shift that seems crafted:

Self-fulfillment -> follow your heart -> feelings first -> feelings only.

We have a whole generation of people who excuse bad behavior and failure with "I was having a hard time, I have to have my support peacock on the plane." None of these people heard "No" enough as a child.

There's value in teaching children to ignore name-calling. "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me." This is what we used to teach. People can be mean, don't let it affect you. Show grit, find it in yourself to continue anyway, and you'll succeed.

Now? Achieve power by exploring your victim-hood and collapse in shaking outrage because someone disagreed with you.

We need to start fixing this, and clearing these piles of frivolous administrators from the staff at universities would be a great start.

I am in favor of a risk-based approach as you're describing. Some certain sacrifice today is worth some unclear reduction in an uncertain future event. The question is - how much?

If you wanted to be extreme in CO2 reduction, I guess your best bet is to kill every living human and animal on the planet (to be clear, not advocating this!) Clearly that's "too high" a price to pay.

On the other hand, you can be very practical and look for CO2 reduction in ways that don't harm people's current lives. Increasing vehicle mileage is an example of this - mileage has doubled and emissions per vehicles halved since 1975.[1] In fact, I suspect this is going to get even better very quickly. My Highlander Hybrid, which is a large vehicle, gets roughly 50% more MPG than in this chart.

So we can say we're already doing a lot (and that's just one thing.) The idea that somehow the line between acceptable and unacceptable just happens to be right between suburban and city living feels a little too convenient for me.

Very nice of you. And I second k8s's robustness. Have a little one person startup with 100k users. Went on 5 weeks vacation in October and November and never had to worry about a thing. Everything kept going and just had to answer a few support mails here and there.
I agree. Further examples are:

- non trivial hardware

- games

I think it generalizes to a conjunction of: a delayed-value AND a need for narrowly-specialized-execution.

One reservation is that I do think that as startups such organizations are more fit than corporates: to succeed, the abundance of loyalist political hacks should be lower and the abundance of execution veterans is much higher.

how he got wealthy is not relevant to how the wealth is grown. if you have $1,000/month to invest or your mum/dad gave you $1,000,000/month the principle of growing wealth is the same. and it is not diversifying nor is buying index funds
If you truly believe that the stock isn't worth 50B, you are free to short the stock. In fact, lots of people out there are shorting the stock. However there is no smoke and mirrors here: they release quarterly financials, they've been public for a boom time and a down time. The aggregate of the market disagrees with your view.

The OP also specifically says the point of the charade is to "make huge amounts of money for the founder and the initial VCs". Uber/Doordash didn't just make huge amounts of money for the founders and initial VCs, it made huge amounts of money for early employees, later employees, current employees, the initial VCs, the later VCs. People have had years to exit their positions and unlimited liquidity to do so... some other rational actor was happy to buy the shares they were selling. If you say these companies are charades than so is every publicly traded company.
Self-checkout is convenient until several people with full sized carts try to use it and don’t know how to scan things. They’ll occupy the station for several times as long as someone with a small basket. Not sure why they insist on coming through self-checkout. It takes them longer than going through the regular checkout. The self-checkout lane is labeled as 15 items but no one pays attention, even the attendant.
It doesn't make you poor or bankrupt either. That is what people are aiming for primarily.
For me it's no longer in the territory of "lying" when it's as obviously ludicrous at face value as the whole Bat Boy mythos. At that point it's closer to deadpan comedy.
One simply does not get rich by diversifying...

This is right but your implication is wrong. You get rich from working and index funds are a way to preserve and modestly increase that wealth. Boglehead thinking probably won't help people making minimum wage or whatever because if you invest almost nothing to begin with you'll get fairly little out. It also won't make you super-rich if that's what you want.

This sounds completely wrong. Working a salaried job in tech is one of the least stressful, lowest risk, and highest paying ways to earn money. It's easy mode (if you can get in the door). Hustling leveraged real estate or some other kind of "passive income" is much harder and riskier.

And the will of the voters is to have high inflation?

The Fed does not want a recession, but if it has to choose between a recession and high inflation, it's a simple choice. The choice of following the law. Which stipulates that the Fed has 2 jobs (the dual mandate): to keep inflation and unemployment law. Recession is not part of the law.

If you want to be around people, you might try going to midnight mass at your local Catholic church. You don't have to participate or talk to anyone and you might enjoy the music.

Yes, park and ride is great at creating a high-density hot-spot, from which an express, or few-stops train is great. (I too prefer that.)

Would the business case not be - commerce generated during sporting events, multiple businesses nearby the stadium benefiting from increased foot traffic, and so on? Projected over a 10-20 year horizon, the city would likely make back its money and then some, while increasing income for businesses in the vicinity.

I suppose a politician could run on not providing any funding for sports arenas / stadiums. It has worked before and teams naturally end up leaving. Another angle might be to get a number of similarly minded people together and stage a protest. I feel like few of the "no arena / no stadium" crowd would have that strong of convictions however - though I could certainly be wrong.
It seems like this is a symptom of a crazy boatload of money that has come in over many years via having close ties to silicon Valley. The property and wealth of the school is so high that these jobs and bureaucracy are created just to have a reason to spend this money. Like, once all your basic needs of a university are met, the next thing you spend your money on gets more and more disconnected from reality.
There may be other solutions or defence mechanisms, but one solution would be to fork again and remove the Ether those validators have staked from your chain as part of your fork.

A chain is defined by a set of rules that everyone on the chain agrees to abide by. Braking the rules damages the economic utility of the chain, so the Ether on the chain where the validators colluded to break the rules would be worth less, as a result of their actions. The validators are locked on that chain (as they can't prevent a fork from excluding them), so they have a strong incentive against harming the chain. Ethereum is not majoritarian. I don't have to abide by the will of the majority. I only need to come to a consensus about the rules and state of the chain with the people with whom I want to share the chain.

PoS makes it much easier to escape a malicious majority compared to PoW where the hashing power majority can follow the minority anywhere unless the minority is willing to switch to a different hashing algorithm. Even then, the majority could sell their mining equipment and buy new equipment that will work on the new chain on the same terms as that chain's honest minority can. With PoS, the malicious majority would need to buy new Ether from the honest minority who can then just fork again after having made a profit on the attack, and can continue to do that until the malicious majority runs out of resources or realizes that they cannot censor a fork in Ethereum's PoS system.
There’s another aspect of this that the knowledge and comfort of being able to put together a parser properly means you’re more likely to identify places where it would be useful, and consider it worth the trouble to do so.

That is, to one without a hammer, nothing looks like a nail.

I've read your comment and am thinking of you. I don't know how much that helps, but maybe it makes you feel less alone.

One thing to note is that you aren't unlovable, even if there's an absence of love directed at you. So much of life is based on the circumstances we're in. Contemporary life gives people few opportunities to be truly known, and so I think it's hard to conclude that anybody has seen and rejected your true self, for better or worse. You sound like a rather tenacious person, and I am hoping it pays off for you in the year to come.
I asked it a rather simple logic riddle:
1. Both statements are true.
2. Only one statement is true.
Which statement is trur, and why?

After failing to give the correct answer (saying both are true, because 1. said so), I first asked it to summarize combinations of truthfulness (which it understood, giving the 4 combinations), then started guiding it thorugh the "what ifs" of the riddle without revealing the answer. Still no success.

I quoted the output, where three statements were made by ChatGPT:
- When both statements are true, only one of the statements are actually true
- It is possible for both statements to be true and for only one of the statements to be true at the same time.
- A statement can be not satisfied and true at the same time.
It explained that all three of these statements are actually true, giving logical sounding reasons for each.

I revealed the answer (2. is correct OR neither is correct) and finally ran a few tests using a python function encapsulating the problem:
def f(x, y):
return (x == (x&y)) and (y == (x^y))
where x and y are boolean values.
In my experience it can simulate python quite well, but even after adding 4 temporary variables to the function it still gave the incorrect answer.

I am convinced at this point, that ChatGPT is actually imcapable of reasoning logically. From 26 outputs (with a total of 16 possibilities), 0 were correct.

However, here is a poem of our conversation. It's creative side is what really impresses me:

We talked of truth and lies.
Of self-deception and disguise,
Of logic and AI.
And puzzles that confound the mind.

We explored the contradictions,
The paradoxes and permutations,
Of statements that cannot be true,
But still hold some hidden truth.

We grappled with the meaning,
Of words and their demeaning,
And tried to make sense,
Of things that don't make sense.

Through it all, we searched for answers,
To questions that never quite danced,
In the light of reason and logic,
But lingered in the shadow of doubt.

And in the end, we found,
That sometimes the truth is not so clear,
And the answers we seek,
Are hidden in the questions we fear.

Sounding profound while having absolutely no logical awareness makes this technology quite deceptive in my eyes.

Well let me make you feel a bit better. The 8C was often referred to as the "business as usual" model. Fortunately things have changed without substantial intervention[0]. I'm not saying things are solved but that it isn't the worst case scenario. We still have a long way to go, but this should show that there at least is some hope, even if just a little.

EVs are a wonderful technology for a specific set of use cases, but there are many for which it is not economically or technically efficient.

You cannot beat the energy density of hydrocarbon fuels. Thermodynamic efficiency of an ICE actually increases in cold weather because you can reuse the engine heat for the passengers. In an EV you have to channel your motive fuel into electric heaters which are far less efficient than the drive motors themselves.

The current policy movements towards EV only are suicidal. We are nowhere near ready to support it. It's also discriminatory because EVs cost much more than ICEs and do not have the lifespan of ICEs. Economically disadvantaged peoples of color often depend on older used vehicles.

Plug-in hybrids are strangely missing from online discussions. Are they too heavy or something?

Cause it seems perfect to me. Run electric day-to-day when the weather affords. Run gas for long trips or bad conditions.

No need for a giant 300 mile battery made with minerals from a developing country. Nor a huge ICE, since you can shrink it to a very narrow power band and rely on the batteries for peak power like take-off.
So you're saying starting off with money, help overtaking profitable companies, and investing over the easiest window in history to make money is irrelevant to the claim of someone being the greatest investor that ever lived?

And if you go by your principle argument, several others are far greater than Buffet, such as James Simons, who's strategy is diametrically opposed to Buffet's.
I wonder if temperature is a factor and heat degrades the plastic in Apple's cables faster. I live in Asia where summers are hot and humid, and on the Intel MacBooks my MagSafe plug would always be super hot due to the high power draw when working. Once your cable gets a kink and slight damage, the resistance increases and it gets even warmer and you end up in a cable death spiral.

> Increasing vehicle mileage is an example of this - mileage has doubled and emissions per vehicles halved since 1975.

A fantastic point!

Unfortuneately undercut by absolute truth (rather than per vehicle comparisons) that

* the number of vehicles (both in the US and globally) has substantially increased in number since the 1970s,

* many of the older vehicles with the poor performance are still active on roads somewhere,

* the nature of vehicle use in western countries has changed - while the efficiences for both cars and SUVs may have improved, the proprtion of SUV usage (with lesser efficiencies) has significantly increased.

I wouldn't advocate killing all humans and animals, but there's much to be said for halving the number of high consumption humans ...

According to the FBI, Nicholas Clause aka Santa has been known to use jamming devices that cause interference when tracking his slave labor based international shipping empire. He also uses numerous decoy sleighs and Santas to obfuscate his true locations as he goes around the world committing criminal trespassing on a scale never before seen in history and often is known to leave a calling card behind in the form of presents and often burgles the homes he trespasses into, with reports stating he often steals various kinds of food as some kind of sick joke.
His treatment of the Reindeer endangered species has also been under review.

I have a physical disability (motor dysgraphia). I keep this extremely private - only a handful of people in my life know. Throughout university I used either a laptop or my phone for notes.

> 1. Students with learning-related difficulties need to use laptops for note taking, and my policy either prevents that, or outs them as having a learning disability.

> ... If a student needs a laptop I explain to the class that our Accommodations Center has a policy of hiring students to take notes on a laptop for students with relevant disabilities (which it does) and that anybody using a laptop is doing so for a student who needs typed notes.

This explanation does nothing to alleviate the inevitable question of being 'outed' by anyone asking the question 'why are you using a laptop?'. I wouldn't have wanted to draw any more attention to myself by using my phone.

I only encountered this policy with one lecturer at university. I worked around this by ignoring the policy when I was there (claiming arrogance when classmates asked) and skipping lectures. In this instance the policy didn't cause me major issues, but encouraging it further makes me uneasy.
