Thank you for an actual proposal! It makes a lot of sense to me, but there is one reason it probably wouldn't be allowed: the study "implanted" false memories (in the sense that participants stated they believed false memories). I don't think the study would pass ethical review if you were only to follow up days or weeks later (after the supposed end of the study), since that would also be the earliest point you would be able to clear up the lie.

there's not any listings in my area, southern Utah. Have you thought of maybe using MLS so buyers can at least see all available options in their area. Then flag as premium/featured homes that are listed without an agent or FSBO?

If I go to your website today and see no homes, I'm probably not coming back even if you add 1000 in my area tomorrow. How would I even know?

Using existing data and listings as an aggregate with a special built in marketplace IMHO would provide more value to all parties.

I decided that it was a useful skill.

Sometimes I ended up singing every song that I knew any words from so it helped a lot when I was tired to focus on one tune.

> Mearshimer's claim to fame stems from accurately predicting this invasion would happen.

In the east, not around Kyiv. Less than a month before it happened – i.e. long after everyone else had predicted it would. And after, as shown above, he himself had spent his career claiming it wouldn't. Weak sauce, utterly weak.

Mearshimer's claim to any current fame stems almost entirely from spouting the same tired old anti-USA and anti-NATO propaganda we've heard from Russia since the Soviet era.

> The only way to "disprove" Mearshimer's prediction is mischaracterize Russia's military goals during the initial strike on Kiev (I am not certain what they were but I am 200% certain occupation wasn't one of them because the force was far too small for that task).

Also, in the US, if you are the buyer, "your" Realtor is typically being paid by the seller, so it's hard to say who their customer is. After I found the listing for my current house, I had to practically force my Realtor to find out about it. I later found out from the seller's Realtor (for the whole development) that they were forcing lower commissions on the buyer's Realtor, so a lot of Realtors were not showing their customers the house.
Japan also allows police to detain suspects for long periods without filing charges or providing access to an attorney. [1] So in practice you may have no choice but to talk to the police (or even confess).

There's an interesting question concerning why (most) US stealth aircraft are black. Black isn't the best color to make an aircraft invisible at night; a dark blueish gray is best for that. One possibility is that the radar absorbent material is inherently black so they don't have a choice, and indeed the U-2 was originally a dark blue color before it received a new black RAM paint. That is probably the real reason I think, but another possibility is that when missile and radar technology made visual intercepts less relevant, they were freed to paint these secretive aircraft a less optimal black, which everybody knows is the proper color for secretive aircraft.

Incidentally the new B-21 apparently won't be black. Maybe they have a new RAM paint formulation that doesn't force the choice of black.

There definitely are bullshit jobs. But its super dangerous when charlatans, which in my opinion are far more common, take the "bullshit job" meme and start firing people that actually do important work and creating extremely toxic work environments.

My assumption is that they are not handling mail pieces and just outsourcing everything via the PostGrid API. Public pricing for a domestic 4x6 full color postcard $0.74. [1] There's no international pricing listed, but given that a domestic postcard stamp is $0.48, printing is ~$0.26 so add international forever stamp ($1.45) so $1.71/card. Stripe is 2.9% + $0.30 ($0.39 on $2.99). They are using Twilio so that's $0.01 for an inbound/MMS and just under $0.01 for the outbound SMS with a stripe link.

Profit per card would be $1.84/card domestic and $0.98/card international. Excellent margins for a $2.99 product with no need to handle inventory.

Seems like a great side project creating glue between three REST APIs (PostGrid, Stripe, Twilio) and I'd expect it'd generate sufficient free cash flow to cover its server costs and buy a few beers.

SBIRS is intended to use infrared to track ballistic missiles through all stages of flight, including decoys and debris released during the mid-course phase in space (so we know it's meant to be extremely sensitive, not limited to tracking hot rocket engines during the boost phase) Seems like a good bet that orbital systems with such sensors could be used to track LEO satellites too.

If you're able to identify these situations at all reliably, you can make a lot of money as a consultant. Like, way more than whatever you're earning right now.
I think there is a worse problem still... I could tolerate exhausted public defenders putting up a weak fight. After all, even a weak effort is still effort.

But who do these public defenders identify with? They went to law school too, they passed the bar too. Their careers 15 years from now will look much like the prosecutors' careers. Hell, they might be sitting behind a bench, they're on the right career track.

If they identify with the other lawyers and the judges, then they might not be putting any effort into it at all. They might instead be in the business of conducting their "clients" through the plea bargain pipeline, and act as if their duties primarily revolve around making certain that pipeline doesn't get clogged up.

This wouldn't be all public defenders, mind you. But even a minor fraction of public defenders acting in this way would be horrific.

Cowen is an economist while Graeber was a scientist. Graeber's book based off his article was well researched and has a lot of empirical data. While Cowen just makes stuff up in his criticism.

So who do we listen to? Economists (a very dubious and arguably the most bullshit profession?) or an anthropologist who creates well researched and thoughtful works?

Cowen completely missed Graeber's point in his criticism.

I've built a kit-based 8088 product, and I have a 386 clone. The 386 is more capable, but I've gotten more hobby mileage out of the 8088 because there's interesting projects built around coping with its limitations. (I designed a custom memory board because it was designed with 512k, and I wanted 640 and upper memory blocks, and did some firmware work that made the kit much more usable).

This was a concern among some economists in the 20th century: what would happen to society when 20% of the people produced all the goods and services? With increasing automation, it seemed like that would happen eventually.

Now it didn't happen in the 20th century. Most jobs we did in 2000 simply didn't exist in 1900. That same principle is extended ad infinitum to argue there's no problem with the current economic order.

Bullshit jobs are really a response to that problem (IMHO).

Automation could be a paradise. A future where people don't have to worry about time off task in an Amazon warehouse or work extra jobs delivering food could be fantastic. Or this could be a dystopian hell as automation allows the capital-owning class to capture even more of the labor value so we can further concentrate into a class of hyper-wealthy.

In our current political climate, the dystopian hellscape of subsistence living at one end and trillionaires at the other seems more likely.

The problem is capitalism.

I used to think like that but then I expanded my skills during the pandemic. I now have a much better grasp of ingredients and spices and how they all interact with each other.

I tried very hard to like Ruby. "On paper" it looks great, but I had a lot of trouble getting used to the syntax.

I ended up going deep on the D programming language for my "new language". As a statically typed language it's not as expressive as the Python/Ruby/Perl contingent, but it's a lot more expressive than most static languages, and its C-like syntax "clicked" with me in a way Ruby never did.

It also can approach C-like run-time performance and memory footprint at times, which I appreciate. As much as I like developing in Python and Perl, I frequently wish they had better run-time performance and a smaller memory footprint. D gives me that, at the cost of a little expressiveness.
You don't have to carry it, no. But if you don't carry your ID (or equivalent) and they have a reason to ask for it (e.g. you are a suspect of a crime), they can require you to take them wherever you keep your ID or to the station.

I figured it worked the same in the Netherlands, but from what I can tell it's true that you always need to carry it and you can get fined if you don't. So quite a bit more strict. That sucks.

Recipes always said it took 5 or 10 minutes to caramelize onions, and when you followed the recipes, you either got slightly cooked onions or you ended up 40 minutes behind schedule. So I caramelized some onions and recorded how long it really took—28 minutes if you cooked them as hot as possible and constantly stirred them, 45 minutes if you were sane about it—and I published those results on Slate, along with a denunciation of the false five-to-10 minute standard.

I think you already answered that question for me. I’ll also add that I don’t think this book was meant to be a contribution to management theory at all, I think the broader point is that we as a society have valued jobs more than we value humanity, so we now have hundreds of thousands of people performing meaningless work just for the sake of having a job. This isn’t an issue of management, it’s an issue of values.
