Hmm, I wonder how much of this could be recreated with a Remarkable 2 or equivalent tablet. Build a nice decorative enclosure with the charging port embedded in the frame, it has wifi out of the box, and you can change the screensaver with scp when it's awake. Perhaps just set a cron job to grab the latest image every 24 hours from a designated url? Obviously much smaller, but you get a tablet out of the deal too, at 10-15% of the cost.

It isn't even that. It's the appearance of not needing you. Make you take part of your own subjugation by making it clear that you're entirely replaceable.

If a hypothetical machine could do your job, well you better do it cheap enough that we don't start researching that.

If by startups you mean new businesses then there are plenty of them created all the time in the construction industry. Think local independent contracting firms relying on financing options like SBA loans and regular bank loans. Some succeed and some fail, just like everywhere else.

Going by the tech definition of startup though, sectors like construction simply don't have the kind of economics that VCs want to put their money behind. Barriers like:

- lots of regulation

- lots or manpower requirements

- low margin

- established hierarchies, relationships, and general ways of doing business that are hard to disrupt

- need to have hyperlocal presence

- need to deal with people rather than technology

- scaling has a high variable cost

all make it unattractive for the "three dudes with a laptop looking to disrupt" types, since it is very unlikely that they are going to be able to have hyper growth and a large exit a few years down the line.

Socrates was famous for his loose etymologies. He describes the etymology of techne (design, craft, basis of technology) as coming from “echo” and “nous” (mind). I love the idea of the echos of mind in technology!

His interlocutor said something like: “your etymology is like pulling a heavy boat up a steep ramp.” Ha! Yay for the playful side of Plato.

> This is to ensure the system is opt-out, not opt-in.

It totally fails to ensure that. The underlying setting is off, but if you don't take deliberate action on installation, it gets switched on. It might as well be on unless you act to switch it off.

The meaning of "opt-in" was settled a long time ago; it means that if you don't take deliberate (and informed) action to opt-in, then you haven't opted in.

[Edit] Sorry, mis-read parent comment. They're trying to say it's opt-in, but the proposal is to make an opt-out UI, with an underlying off setting that gets set to $SOMETHING at installation, defaulting to on.
Huh.

I will say that it was weird because at the time, I also tested loading the main page and a couple other blog posts on the site. Only this particular one, however, was an issue, and I figured it was probably an anti-hug mechanism where the site forces Brotli compression for a resource if that resource was frequently being accessed over a certain threshold.

I honestly have no idea though. It's weird. What I do know is that it wasn't just my browser - I was having a similar issue with wget, where it got back encoded Brotli data without having asked for it. (wget does support Brotli, but doesn't send an Accept-Encoding header or, it seems, decode the output unless told to specifically.) But, again, I'm not having the issue now, and as you say, not sending an Accept-Encoding header means anything goes so it's not really the same thing as how it worked on my browser.
Maybe GDKP is just a set of overly broad, poorly written rules?

Here's an article that linked from the one you sent. Even the EU Parliament is in violation of GDPR. =P

* European parliament found to have broken EU rules on data transfers and cookie consents | TechCrunch | https://techcrunch.com/2022/01/10/edps-decision-european-par...

I wear a tinfoil hat as much as the next guy, and I have studied up on GDPR rules at work, and all I can say is they are designed to basically give any country the ability to say, "We don't like you, Americans. You are bad and we don't like you."

Like it or not, we're all connected. You can look at websites in France, or Germany, or America.

Having different rules for the data makes sense at the company-level, or server-level. "Here are the rules for Norwegian companies..."

But it just doesn't make a lot of sense for French laws to apply to US-servers. Where does that end? If Alabama passes a law saying "You have to have just English on your website..." but Canada says, "You have to have your website in French and English..." who wins? What do the developers use as the source of truth for their requirements?

And if we have to have one version of the website for each and every state and country... isn't that problematic... I mean you get that's problematic, right?

I think these courts ruling against Google are small courts, I think it'll get overturned. I think it likely has more to do with finding different ways to punish Google / Apple / other tech companies for not paying more taxes inside of those countries.

EU nations set up a lot of taxes, then get upset when global companies don't choose to build offices there. All of the regulation around data just feels like another "what can we do to be petty in response for them not paying us more taxes?"

Exactly like the USB-C adapter thing.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Google is skeezy, I get it... but fragmenting the web into a different set of rules for viewers in every nation... that's not the answer. It really can't be the answer.

Your comment is self-contradictory. You say the problem is low teacher pay and status, but then point out the private school teachers aren't highly paid, but are motivated.

If I were to speculate, I suspect the differences are:

1. Modestly higher pay in the private school, attracting better teachers

2. More selective student body in the private school, making the school environment more conducive to learning for average and above-average students, and more attractive to teachers

3. No public-sector union in the private school, leading to more accountability for teachers

The second point is important. Private schools exclude all the kids whose parents lack the motivation, time, or resources to place their child in an exclusive institution. They exclude the children who didn't learn the behavioral skills to conform to the expectations of a private school. They exclude many children with disabilities even if they can't explicitly discriminate. Meanwhile, public schools are required to include children with disabilities (often involving disruptive behavior) in class with other students to the extent practical.

Public schools are charged with upholding the social contract that all children are entitled to a Free Appropriate Public Education regardless of their social status, wealth, disability, or the financial or emotional capacity of their parents. It's a heavy burden to carry, but it's one that we as a society have decided is worth the cost. Your children's private school doesn't carry that burden.

We have a separate network for personal devices anyway if you want to listen to Spotify or YouTube music all day. Only complaint and it's minor is I can't treat my personal ipad pro as a second monitor because that requires being logged into the same account on both devices.

She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death.

> If you're spending more money for worse results, we SHOULD divert funding to better-performing alternatives.

The data doesn't really say this. Two things to know about education:

- A large percentage of school outcomes are dictated by home life. Interviewing parents or just picking from the population of people who can afford $20k a year allows you to pick from a higher achieving cohort.

- Private schools don't have to provide the same level of services to children who require additional care. This is a significant cost saving. Most schools I've worked at had multiple staff dedicated to the care of just a handful of children.

Here's another HN comment with links of an example repo [1].

[1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36516836
One glaring presupposition (which is false) of "rationalist approaches", but also those who reject them, yet maintain the same inherently hyper-individualistic, atomistic conception of human beings[0], is immediately apparent in the first sentence of the abstract: "Rationalist approaches to economics assume that people value their own interests over the interests of strangers."

It is NOT in my interest to be dishonest. To think it is is to fail to understand that human nature is thoroughly social and that, because of that, there is a common good. The common good is prior to private good; the latter depends on the former, not the other way around, as liberal philosophy conceives it.

Thus, maximizing my own interest, by which I mean my own good, is to live maximally in conformity with human nature, and part of that means living in a way that recognizes the primacy of the common good. Dishonesty per se is also harmful to the individual in the very act of being dishonest. A person is corrupted in the very act of being dishonest.

[0] I am not denying the existence or worth of individuals. I reject collectivism which is ready to throw the individual under the bus for the collective (which is rather incoherent). I mean only the conception of human beings as atomic, in which society is merely transactional or contractual, instead od recognizing transactions as a subset of actions that occur within a social context and only where transactions are appropriate and make sense).
This is the way.

Irrelevant when discussing price changes due to drastic increase in supply of urban housing.

330M people in the USA, let’s say NYC’s public transit/urban environment serves 4M of its people.

20 NYC like cities means 76M more people’s desire to live in a NYC like environment can be satisfied.

Surely once you start getting into the tens of millions range, the supply gets closer to meeting demand, if not exceeding it, and prices drop. There are only so many people, after all.

A 10 lane highway can easily be saturated by tens of thousands of people in a small window of time. A 100k lane highway would be a better comparison.
