Perhaps you should review the definition of tangential.

The medium of something is hardly tangential to the self-nature of that thing. We could go more into Kant, but why waste the time?

One anecdote: I know a fresh CMU software engi master grad who has been finding jobs for 4 months with none of them progressing past first interview. Absolutely zero response from US or CA employers. The resume is all fine but the market is too saturated with juniors.
There are already tons of articles and videos that have already been published on this. And now Experian / other bureaus offer score breakdowns along with calculators where you can explore how hypothetical actions would affect your score. I think the space is pretty well covered:)

In a romantic sense the idea that a multi-generational back catalog being a profitable pursuit might feel right, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to a marketable product.

Netflix hasn’t needed much of a back catalog to out-earn the competition.

The truth is that back catalogs have the potential to be basically worthless except for a select few “best of the best” classics.

The majority of Disney back catalog content is most certainly not at the level of Snow White or Cinderella. I think about many of their package (anthology) films as a great example of near-unwatchable garbage that only has non-profit historical value.

Media companies quite literally let their back catalogs rot (like the neglect and disinvestment that led to the Universal masters fire of 20008).
One of the magazine ads for the original Macintosh highlighted this. Iirc, a 68k in all its glory was shown next to a plastic DIP 8088. It made enough of an impression on my ~12 y/o self to still picture it today.

I've seen this play out at my university in two different ways.

The more obvious way is very obvious: we had a professor who told us he'll be grading us by first tallying up the answers, and then applying a bell curve to the scores, so that X% of the students get an A, Y% get a B, etc., and some Z% of the students will fail. As you can imagine, everyone was up in arms about how obviously unfair this is.

The less obvious case, but close to what you describe, was scolarships. For almost every "track"[0], scolarships were awarded for top X% of students. In the "track" I was in, and another one in our faculty, the scolarships were instead given to anyone who crossed a certain absolute grade threshold, in (IIRC three) tiers. The higher the tier you reached, the more money you got, independent of how other students fared (probably subject to budget constraints, though).

Now, I can't prove it, but there was one other notable difference between our "track" and that other one with same scolarship model, and every other "track" at the university I was aware of: ours were famously cooperative, everyone else was fiercely competitive. I don't think it's a coincidence. My university experience was that of everyone helping each other out, because it was always a win-win both socially sometimes financially. Everywhere else, this was unthinkable - helping other students created a risk of them getting ahead of you and taking your scolarship.

I'm dismayed to see the same thing repeating in companies too.

Why?

IRS already has that info. The people have the power to control and influence how that data is handled, and distributed. We have no power to compel Equifax to do anything.

Big difference is QR code based payments in india are absolutely free, no processor is allowed to charge a fee for such payments. In fact that’s the fundamental crux of what we are talking about here so I’m not sure why Apple Pay working is relevant unless it has no hidden fees to the merchant.
Obviously donating to orphanages etc is a good choice, but maybe the #1 thing you can do, selfishly, is travel.

You don't necessarily need to be rich for that, but it certainly smooths out some problems, and allows you to actually choose between 'short flight' or '10 hour bus trip'. When you're traveling for leisure, often the bus is the better experience as you meet people, see the country, etc, but sometimes really not.

Maybe also studying something just because you want to, without any requirement that it'll lead to a job etc.
Strangely, the definition from the video seems to be:

* it can't have covered wheels (apparently the Gen 1 Honda Insight is not a car)

* it can't be too small (apparently the Smart car is not a car)

* it doesn't matter if it's defective due to a lack of active cooling (a battery defect which forced Nissan into a settlement with Leaf owners[1])

A weird definition IMO, but there it is.

Debit cards routinely get rejected in the US even though they can be processed without PIN entry like a normal credit card. The IRS verification system to receive COVID benefits wouldn't allow them. Gas stations can be unreliable. It's a crap shoot. When given the choice I used to select debit to save the merchant money but I've gotten fed up with being screwed over for no good reason to bother anymore.
Unemployment in the US is only about 2-3% after all the layoffs in tech. In other words - it is nothing.

That makes no sense.

How does “checking if people are credit worthy” reinforce inequity? If you can’t repay, you shouldn’t be taking on debt. If anything it prevents people from taking on debt they can’t afford, stopping them from further inequity.

And you can opt out. Don’t use credit at all. (edit: of course a credit record will still exist, but it won't matter if you don't use credit)

This sounds like a bunch of people complaining “why can’t I just borrow whatever I want without people checking whether I can repay?”
This is a good idea, but I’m skeptical if the IRS has enough funding and resources to manage another service. They barely have enough funding for the current backlog of filed tax returns.

I also think there is a novel new effect happening which is that if one question anything about AI. For example: I tired to use Dall-E for something useful and it sucked. You get labelled...Anti-AI.

Being critical about certain things isn't allowed at the moment.

Kind of like the 2023 replacement for Anti-vaxxer if you don't want to take medicine every 3 months.

My honest opinion, is that while a lot of this technology is cool and novel, it's not perfect, it has uses and then it doesn't. What it does have is a lot of good marketing and PR behind it and so you're up against a lot of that too.

One example I like is the Dall-e homepage shoes the curated "best" images generated, which might be showing only 1 in 1000 or more of the best images. I was excited when I first tried it based on the front page. But now it's drawing people with feet for hands for me and it's super super fun and entertaining to play with, I don't feel it works quite as advertised most of the time.

The government already has the power to do those things. The track record of credit reporting agencies shows it's almost impossible to hold them accountable, so what's the advantage to having these private entities profiting off of us again?

I have a laser CNC, which has a built-in fan that is not quite strong enough to move both the smell and the particles out the exhaust system. I bought a pretty cheap dryer-vent blower fan and added it to the exhaust tube. With the addition of this fan, the particles and odor are sucked out sufficiently. Previously the smell of cut particle board and acrylic were so bad, I considered returning the machine.

The business-end of the exhaust tube sits outside a window, and has a reservoir for collecting debris that make it through the tubing--seems to also subdue the odor.

I'm not sure how common this is, but retention bonuses for people who weren't made redundant are definitely a thing. It's just a nicer way of phrasing the same thing. And totally a fair thing to ask for. One way to justify it would be higher workload and/or more responsibilities.

The continued emphasis on 'luck' that she had 'brothers' was annoying to me, when that wasn't what was important about the relationship. My sisters have given me some great help over the years, but I don't emphasize how important it is that they are women unless that aspect was important to the help I received.

Maybe I just don't like his writing style as a whole and this particular aspect jumps out at me, but the article would have been at least twice as good if it weren't so annoyingly emphatic about the gender thing in more than one way.

I have a lot to say about "ill defined and broad", starting with "I agree with you" and followed immediately by "c'est la vie". In a nutshell: we are extremely limited in how much time we can ask of candidates: our budget is the typical amount of time we believe those candidates would spend in more typical interview process (phone screens and an on-site interview loop). That means our programming work samples (WSTs) are small, which means we have to take every opportunity to extract signal from them, which in turn limits exactly how much we can document about our expectations.

We try to be clear in our assessments (and to give some feedback about our decisions). I feel like we do a better-than-average job of being transparent, responsive, and fair, but I would feel that way: I'm the Retail Sales Manager.

Unfortunately, I can offer some insight.

In the past I have been obsessive. Had I not got help I could have ended up like the stalker in the story.

It starts out innocent enough. Dating involves lots of subtle signals and cues. I remember calling someone many many times in one day, thinking "There's a possibility I'm being strange, but there's also a chance that she's just not home. If I don't call and call again I could miss my chance. And this is my only chance, if I don't make sure she knows I want to date her I'm going to end up alone forever". I'm sure you can see the cognitive distortions at play here. I certainly acknowledged that my behavior was unusual, but I was so fixated on the person that I couldn't stop myself.

I suspect this is what happened with the person in the story. They noticed the sister and became obsessed. First trying to do things "the right way" with super-likes etc within the dating app. After that, finding the instagram and so on. It slowly ramps up. The damage to the car etc I have less insight on, but perhaps it relates to the fact that being ignored by the target of your obsession feels so bad that any kind of reaction, good or bad, would feel better. Or perhaps it's revenge for "making me feel bad". I think the stalker probably doesn't have much insight to their own behavior. I only gained insight years after the fact.

In general, I think dating apps don't help with this kind of behavior. They perpetuate the idea that there are "perfect matches" and that once you find your perfect partner everything will click into place. It's just like Hollywood movies, the couple gets together and then the credits roll. In reality, that's the very beginning. We should be talking about the work and effort that goes into building a relationship, as well as giving people the tools to notice when their behavior is not acceptable.

For sure. Many of these materials aren't new on the 3D printing scene either (even I've printed TPU on my $180 delta printer).

For most hobbyists PLA is the vast majority of their print time and it's a shame that we don't even have convenient and affordable systems to mitigate the risks of the baseline material (I don't consider cobbling together your own enclosure, ducting, and filter system convenient. As we have seen with open frame laser engravers, most consumers won't bother).
I've worked on the data feeds for TWN in a large company's payroll system. If I remember right they don't just get how much money you made but the line by line check level data. Your pay data probably goes out to 14 different vendors on any given pay period.

What amaze me about payroll was how accurate the data was on average, despite having wild amounts of new regulatory, healthcare, union, and pay program complexity. A surprising amount of money is directed by some lady in a payroll department making $40k with vlookup and 30 excel files on their desktop.

But there sure are some dark messy corners of data quality in people's pay and benefits.

They could put a cross on the roof, but that wouldn't actually resolve the ambiguity.
"A huge comeback" is a big overstatement. Overall, it's still a burnt-out husk of its former glory. But it is true that the city proper has developed something which it lacked circa 2000, which is non-auto jobs (Quicken Loans + some other tech startups), a downtown art scene, young people, music, some hip food, and so on. In other words, it's germinated the embers of a much smaller, bougier, more livable town than existed at any time since the mid-late 80s.
"While urethane can be an outstanding protective material for products such as items as small as wire or cases to items as large as residential homes, it can also be a very dangerous material. It is a recognized carcinogen, and it is hazardous to developing fetuses. Additionally, it is suspected to be toxic to the gastrointestinal system, liver, kidney, skin, and respiratory tract. It is, however, easy to prevent these dangers by wearing protective clothing and providing appropriate exhaust ventilation. It is also necessary to wash thoroughly after exposure. The risk of getting ill from urethane exposure is higher for industrial workers than residents of a community where urethane is processed, however if proper precautions are taken, adverse effects can be avoided."

The AI did not produce those samples. The AI did not learn to make pictures of yellow eyes. The AI produced samples of yellow eyes from it's repository of collected images that it did not make itself nor ask permission to use nor pay for.
Apple specifically runs its own hedge fund to manage its cash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braeburn_Capital

OK, not technically a hedge fund.
Curve fitting "performance" to an "expected" bell curve is clearly idiotic, even from a mathematical perspective. In the described case one won't have a symetric bell curve and the population is going to be too small, even if measuring performance was done right, which it clearly wasn't. Whoever invented this process has done so without understanding normal distributions. It's a bunch of mumbo jumbo.
> Consumption is fixed since the population is, and as the portion of citizens producing goods and services goes down there's a shortfall of those goods and services.

This ignores productivity gains, which allows for cheaper goods and services (i.e. more consumption per person) and for each person to produce more, thus making up the shortfall with the shrinking population.
My experience in this industry, and as I've been learning not uncommon in office jobs outside software, is that relative performance is at best noise. The primary factor determining your compensation is your job interview - you get whatever you negotiate when being hired. As a consequence, the compensation is strongly correlated with how recently were you hired - new employees usually start with higher salaries than seasoned employees couple levels higher on the career ladder.
> So the statement "let x be an element of y" is already problematic?

Hm, good point. No, that's not the problem because that's just the same as saying "let x be an undefinable number". The problematic statement is (I think -- I need to think about this some more) "let f be a choice function on (infinite) sets of undefinable numbers". If x=f(S) that is not the same as "let x be an undefinable number" unless S is the set of ALL undefinable numbers, which it need not be.
