Well, an individual might have the perspective of "My life is the consecquences of my actions." or the perspective of "My life is the outcome of all physics coming before me." depending on which is which
How much of that would be due to the fact that we increased productivity on essential goods which inevitably benefitted everyone to some extent? It may be very different when a large portion of the jobs being destroyed are mostly useless to the productivity to start with.
Surprised that it's effectively the opposite in India. IITs (and other institutes in India) have reservations for schedule castes and tribes and I hope in the coming decades they will change this to reservations for lower income groups. Preference is even given to women with the same score/profile.

Does the US have something similar? Why/Why not?

Hey not sure why you felt it was important to reply to this line out of that entire paragraph when the next line is more than clear. just kind of seems like concern trolling.
I also think (hope), that reach/scope reduction is a possible counter-reaction as the winner-takes-all empires enshittify beyond repair.

I cant speak for any site other than G2. We have multiple unpaid products that appear appropriately in their lists and quadrants. The question one has to ask themselves, just like in SEO "is my profile optimized" and try work out what their automations expect rather than paying for placement.
Yes, those are exactly the scenarios I bring it out for - when someone wants a VERY clear, VERY well defined, completely comprehensive list of every single thing the system can do, and whether they are working today in an automated fashion.
Being precise (not vague) with your language is a learned skill. I started practicing is after reading 12 rules for life (it's one of them).

It really makes a difference in everyday life. It prevents so many arguments with my wife: we agree on most things, when we don't it's usually because we disagree on the meaning of the words we're using. At work I have far less misunderstandings with coworkers, I understand expectations better and I don't get caught out by people using vague language to hide or gloss over major problems. Last month I was evaluating a contract and it took me a week to get a clear answer about terms. I suspect the people involved subconsciously knew that if they gave a clear answer the contract would be deemed unecessary and cancelled. It was.

Interestingly this paragraph isn't quite true:

> So much of the modern world depends on our mastery over materials (to make a precision screw, you need a precision-machined harder material—diamond / titanium—to work on a softer material—steel), and our ability to turn rotary motion to linear motion (it's stupidly difficult to reliably precision-machine a harder material without even more precise linear + rotary motion—lathe/CNC machine). Hence, a bootstrap problem.

Steel is hardenable (or rather, some steels are hardenable), you can change its hardness through the specific application of heating and cooling. So you can make a crude tool with relatively soft steel, harden it, and use it to make a more precise steel tool (again machine soft, then harden). This does make the bootstrapping problem a bit easier, I think. Although not easy in the absolute.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_Mp1fNzIT8 for a great dive into primitive steel hardening techniques.
As far as I can tell this is not a closed loop system. So how do we prevent Earthquake problems that happened in South Korea?

Yeah that's why you make the owner authenticate. It would be ridiculous to use that as a reason to make escalation impossible.
That’s true in JS but less so in a language like Rust where there are threading implications.
And apparently the SAG average is $40000, without accounting for costs like union dues nor the bargaining advantage that comes with union membership.

When you look at non-union actors that drops to about $25000, and often has many costs to maintain due to the lack of protections that would come with union membership.

Seems like youtubers and the like have a darn good deal considering it includes a far higher volume of low activity/effort/quality "actors" coupled with the independence and higher rate of higher scale earnings.

Hollywood is way more top heavy , regardless of if secondary business ventures are excluded from both sides, as that likely makes yt even more fair in that more yt creators have secondary streams like merch and services than Hollywood actors do, where only the biggest names can earn much of anything by thier "brand" alone.

I have to ask, did you even try to do a comparison or did you just google internet creator average income and the presume it was a pittance compared to that of the average of all working (and non working?) actors?

> By contrast, social democratic societies in Europe have lower median (PPP) income, but higher income redistribution means that far fewer people face such struggles.

The idea that EU citizens do not face poverty is simply false. The EU sheltered homelessness rate is very close to the US, both under 0.2% which is phenomenal honestly…

Poverty rate statistics are quite tricky to decipher. But all the data I can find says that there isn’t an outsized difference between the regions. Rates in US states vary as much as EU member countries with plenty of states from both regions exceeding or below US/EU averages.

I’m not trying to be a blind patriot stereotype or even claim that the US is “better” than other portions of the world.

My only point is that objectively speaking, living standards in America are PHENOMENAL. We should not “redistribute wealth like other western nations” because I can’t think of any G20 nations that have a clearly preferable economic system.

Also to your point about Rawls, if you go too far with redistribution you remove the incentive for people to do difficult or unpleasant work. We’ve witnessed this countless times over the past century in all the failed socialist/communist societies. In a less extreme example we just witnessed France default on its pension obligations!

Nobody is going to work for free. The US spends more money than any other nation on social welfare programs. It’s inefficient and unsustainable. How can we honestly consider expanding wealth distribution programs when we can’t even afford what we have now?

If you can think of a particular nation’s system we should emulate I’d love to hear the argument with an open mind. I honest to god cannot think of any.
The Catastrophe of Success
that's literally your circulatory system
> It also benefits all the plaintiffs who weren't early to the party, since they are guaranteed a slice of the pie (if they win), instead of the first few successful plaintiffs eating the whole thing.

The pie is much smaller though. Georgia Pacific was faced with 62,000+ claims. They went through this same process. Spun off their subsidiary. "Pledged" to fund it with an "initial" billion dollars, and that GP would fund all claims.

Never happened. They actually only funded $175M. Less than $3,000 per claimant for asbestos related injuries. Less than $3,000 before legal fees.

And there was nothing defendants could do, because there was no legal obligation that could be created to force GP to fully fund. "That entity is independent and is in bankruptcy. So sad, too bad."
The other level of problem is that truth in reality means consensus. You can argue about what truth is in reality, but functionally it means consensus.

So it's not even about what is or is not true, or what is recognized as useful in the short term, it's that what defines truth at any given time is what is popularly believed to be true.

This sounds very flaky but it has real consequences because the incentives aren't just to find positive results, it's to find positive results that are likely to be accepted by the majority of the academic field. This kind of positive feedback loop is bound to lead to pressure because science almost by definition has to get some things incorrect — it's how progress is made. So people are actively punished for going against the grain, or exploring areas where our knowledge is limited and therefore prone to lots of negative results because we just don't know.
I wish _all_ students with that profile were automatically accepted. I went to GT and while I guess it's nice in some ways that its now considered an elite university, I much preferred the persona of admitting everyone and weeding out people out so that they could give kids without stellar resumes a chance.
If you're taking the concept "Political Correctness" to mean keeping people ideologically in line through policing their speech, then yes, sure. What you're describing is more akin to the original "Political Correctness" which was coined by the NYTimes to describe what the Nazi party was doing.

But that's not what the debate about inclusive language is about now, and it wasn't about that back in the day when the PC term was first applied. That's what they want everyone to believe it is about, hence the specific phrase they applied to it. They wanted to shift the perception of the issue, and it seems like it's worked on a lot of people, hence the downvotes on my post.

It's no different than branding the ACA "Obamacare" when it was extremely similar to proposals Republicans made in the past. This time around, it's a crazed socialist plan because a Democrat is proposing it.
That rabbit hole could go deep quickly. "If you stop by the title pawn place next door, we'll comp your Uber rides all month."
Well... it's more like by asking an extremely dumb question helps other people in the room know when they're being bullshitted.

"So, I see your business model is to make widgets. But ... uh... I don't really understand these ideas but that's called capital intensive, right? So, you're gonna have a factory, with a bunch of workers... in San Francisco? Won't that be really expensive, and ... uh, I guess that means your profit margin will be small? Could you put your factory in Kansas?"

Judging by the lack of hard numbers and some statistical fuckery they’re doing - no.

> Within two years of this policy, 94% of eligible students are taking these classes.

Preselection.

Additionally, about half of the entire student body took the advanced class.

Considering the fact that the advanced class is Algebra I, I’d wager that just being on the right half of the bell curve would be sufficient to pass. Half of the student population = the right half of the bell curve.

Additionally, I didn’t see whether they were doing individual tutoring, which would have an impact on the results.

we do it with every other form of advertisement, why not use it to encourage good lifestyles too?

> You should probably contemplate why this isn't being proposed by the people who are supposedly concerned about this problem

simple:

- they aren't concerned about the problem to begin with. Be it apathy, ignorance, or malice. There are different solutions depending on the cause.

- they are, as mentioned above, more afraid of upsetting single families by imposing what can arguably be a healthier family dynamic

- the school board feels that issues with family are outside their purview so they do not even consider it, despite the fact that parents are the biggest strain on any given school teacher.

Maybe take your own advice? They at least gave propositions, while you are simply engaging in rhetorical attacks without contributing anything worth a conversation. What does "you want something, you pay for it" mean in a conversation about government funded education? We're all already paying for it.

That would be great. And given that Ivys use a wide range of other criteria, mostly subjective, means that the wealthy kids have a massive advantage. SATs are probably the least differentiating criteria for Ivys as everyone is already at 1450+.

From the Bloomberg article:

In many regions, the existing rock is hot enough but there isn’t enough permeability for fluid to flow through the hot rock. Through wells drilled deep underground, EGS injects fluid to create fractures, causing the permeability needed for electricity generation.

My gut says they're using the same methodologies as hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas extraction for this, but I'm not sure.

That raises a whole host of environmental concerns, particularly with regard to the high volume use of fresh water in places where it is scarce, and the impact of toxic high-pressure fracturing fluid on aquifers.

Both are issues that have plagued communities where oil and gas fracturing takes place.
The specific use of body bags/cadaver pouches for this purpose is also an old policy (since at least 2005 based on my experience) in marine SAR, so I echo your wife's sentiments.

The quotes from the chair of the board and from the president himself in the second paragraph of the article are very important. Neither concedes that Tessier-Lavigne's conduct disqualifies him from his position as a preeminent researcher. (Indeed, he will retain his tenure as a professor.) It is the impact of the report and the discussions of the allegations which make his continued presidency untenable. Do you note the subtlety?

Secondly, I encourage every interested reader here to pull up the actual report and read it. (The report and other statements from the board can be found on the board's website [0].) In a large laboratory, both honest mistakes and intentional data manipulation will occur. They just will. There is no evidence to suggest Tessier-Lavigne participated knowingly in fraudulent activity. All the evidence points to the fact that he was made aware of the issues at some point or another, proceeded to take some corrective action, but did not ultimately do enough. Pass your judgments on his actions and inactions, by all means, but make sure you're passing judgment on what happened, not on the impression you get of what happened from reading news articles.

This misses the actual async part, which is more like polling a task queue. Callback hell sugar is only a thing in langues that already have event loops built in (i.e. JavaScript, which I assume is also what you're referring to)
I imagine some of the importance of documenting ED techniques like this is because in the prehospital setting many of the interventions that nonphysicians are allowed to provide are governed by standing protocols. For regional medical directors to endorse such interventions by third-parties, they require the techniques be well-documented before they are formally adopted.

I am a rather extreme introvert myself and also a people leader. The people who report to me often have no idea that I’m introverted because I am a strong communicator, and I genuinely enjoy talking to people. I _do_ find it to be a source of joy.

The primary difference between myself and my extreme extrovert wife is that at the end of the day I am emotionally drained and need some quiet time to recharge, while she’s still itching to talk.

It is widely misunderstood as a result of people taking that small piece Jung's overall personality theory and ignoring the rest. It's the lowest common denominator tweet sized "elevator pitch" you can extract from the overall theory.

You aren't "an" introvert or an extrovert, rather you have cognitive functions that are themselves introverted or extroverted and they are ordered in your personality between strongest and weakest.

Everyone has both introverted and extroverted functions, and the opposite is always the second strongest. This is why people make up the word "ambivert." People are also confused depending on whether that function is perceptual (intuition / sensory) or judgmental (thinking / feeling), with the perceptual ones, from the meme level understanding appearing introverted.

> So my default is lean HTML, lean CSS, raw JS.

This is fine but having spent a decade of my career doing this, I would never advocate for it in an app with any kind of frontend complexity or a chance to grow into it. The frameworks mostly obviate the need to understand layout thrashing, resource cleanup, and retained state conflicts in the DOM. If you're doing simple stuff these don't matter but they're challenging to fix and more challenging to stay fixed when a group is contributing.

> Svelte has caught my attention and I want to give it a go, but if the output is bloaty then that’s a red flag for me

Your use case is a pretty good fit for Svelte and you're likely to get output you'd find acceptable and given your preferences I think you're more likely to prefer its sensibilities over other frameworks that could provide the perf you're looking for. The tradeoff is kind of like the tradeoff between monomorphization vs virtual dispatch. The Svelte compiler is basically inlining the update code instead of using shared code in a runtime.
It doesn't seem to be super smart.
