You ever flip a coin to decide something for yourself, then do the opposite of how it fell? In tossing the coin you learn something about what you actually want to do. Was there value in flipping the coin?

Bonus points idea. Have a grandparent take up residency in a target out of state area in a cheap apartment a few years ahead of time, just to meet residency requirements. Then at 17 have the grandparent foster the minor. Boom, free college wherever you want.
> Its more efficient for them to satisfice through obtaining graduates with good signalling factors (good schools) than sort the wheat from the chaff themselves

I find that unconvincing. Aren't progressives constantly talking about how corporations are exploiting workers by paying them less than than their productivity? In other words, each employee makes money for them on net. All things being equal, it's in corporate america's interest to have as big of a workforce as possible, because more employees = more productivity extracted. Even in a situation where corporations aren't labor limited, they'd still benefit from increased competition on the labor supply side driving down prices for them.

> Not sure what "a recognized homeschool program" is

E.g. something like Khan Academy's homeschool curriculum, or CK-12, etc. that is a complete curriculum ostensibly developed by people who know what they are doing, not just some moms making it up as they go.

Also if a kid wants to be involved in sports, that is more complicated for homeschoolers.
>How would be paying people minimum wage to batch cook food from scratch with local produce be more expensive ?

Local produce is more expensive, as is cooking from scratch[0]. Another problem is that won't scale. You can't feed millions of kids twice a day every weekday from the local farmers' market.

I'm sorry you had to live through that, and I'm glad you had tools to subvert that oppression. I'm relieved that it sounds like you've escaped from that situation.

It was not my intent to assert any privilege, and it was my intent to acknowledge that scenario. If I may provide some clarification:

Marriam webster[0] defines 'double edged sword' to mean

> something that has or can have both favorable and unfavorable consequences

The use of Tor in the scenario you describe is one of the two blades (edges) I was referring to in my use of 'double bladed sword' -- the altruistic use case for which Tor absolutely should exist

The other side of the blade however, it's also used to facilitate terrible acts of abuse, notably to children (as demonstrated by the article) -- the destructive use case for which Tor absolutely should not exist.

It leaves Tor in a morally ambiguous place to me. It's not inherently bad or good. There are situations where it can be used for great good, and others when it can be used for great evil. Those situations would exist with or without Tor. I don't know if I should be thanking anyone maintaining it any more than I would thank an arms dealer.

Regarding your 8ft comment: plenty of footage has popped up of cops getting caught red-handed planting drugs. Much of it was filmed within 8 feet.
and thats why i span the rural/urban divide. because about 10 years ago I heard the chatter of scientists explaining that the IPCC was wrong, that the chance for rapid acceleration of things we can reverse was real high, and I made a plan.

bout 3 years ago i moved to the middle of nowhere, to a storm resistent building, geothermal, adding solar, in a swamp where ground temps are mediated, in a state least likely to be touched.

originally i did it because i thought it was prudent because it was going to happen to me. nowadays I'm so sick of people i long for my dirt nap, so with the agroforest, with the nut trees and the garden, the shop and the spare parts, maybe i can at least live (and leave good bones) for the people who come after me to do better than we did.

> if you didn't care enough about the correctness of your code to test it adequately, why would you care that static type checking could find some bugs?

I think you got this backwards. If you didn't care enough about the correctness of your code to even do something as simple and straightforward as using a proper type system, why would you spend enormous amount of time to write and then support unit tests just so that they could find some bugs?
I don't think the DEA really wants to end the war on drugs. Because without that there is no DEA. At least not as we know it.

They just want to show a big win in the news every once in a while to show they are still 'protecting' the world and justify their budget. And those big wins are found in the supply side. All the while not doing anything to solve the real problem to society. Which is the pain and suffering caused to drug addicts and their unproductivity and care costs.

But actually helping them is not glamorous. This is particularly pronounced in the US where spending billions on heavily armed agencies kicking down doors is guaranteed re-election but spending a few dimes to help someone in need is 'evil communism'. So all the budget goes to the boys with the toys for the big busts pretending to make a difference.

All the other issues like the surrounding crime and cartel megaprofits and corruption are a result of the system of enforcement (strict laws make crime more profitable and hard punishment makes the criminals having nothing to lose and thus more ruthless). It's not the root problem of drugs in general.
I'm sure if we built new universities, there would be plenty of applicants to teach it in, given how fierce the competition for academic positions already is.

And the next few sentences from the link:

> However, the U.S. was not the only high-level giver to drop. In fact, many countries that landed in the top 10 most charitable countries in previous years slid completely out of the top 20. According to Charities Aid Foundation Chief Executive Neil Heslop, these changes are not a sign that people's willingness to donate decreased, but that their opportunity to donate diminished, largely as a result of pandemic-related lockdowns. Charity-based retail stores were forced to close, fundraising events were canceled, and many elderly charity volunteers had to shelter themselves instead of volunteering.

>Take a look at this graph of college costs vs salaries for young people over time: https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/106968880-163579955995... .

Let me stop you right there. The fact that the graph doesn't show the dip in actual tuition costs that the article mentions, and the fact that other commenters have corroborated the dip does indeed exist, makes me think that the chart you linked is talking about the wrong metric. I suspect that the prices are "sticker prices", not actual costs, which the article specifically addresses:

>Sticker prices are rising while net costs remain steady and, in some cases, drop. A report from the College Board, a non-profit, shows that whereas published tuition and fees for private non-profit colleges increased from $29,000 in 2006-07 to $38,000 in 2021-22 (in 2021 dollars), the net price actually decreased from $17,000 to $15,000.

IANAL, but from a common sense perspective:

- most police have body cams now, so presumably, their voices and actions are already being recorded

- citizens interacting with police don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy, so they cannot opt out of being recorded

So it seems fine that citizens can create their own copy of the incident that's already being recorded.

To flip it on it's head, I can't think of a reasonable, let alone constitutional, argument for "I can record you but you cannot record me"

Of course, this leaves out the case where they don't have body cams/aren't recording. In that instance, though, we already have a pretty strong precedent that people cannot have a reasonable expectation of privacy in public spaces. That's why we can take selfies, vlog, talk on the phone, etc regardless if people are in the background. Not to mention straight up record whatever is around - dashcams, security cameras, etc.

I swear the content of that page was a lot more helpful the last time I looked at it.

Anyway, the idea is that if you can architecture your program into layers (rather than spaghetti) it can get a lot more powerful if some of your layers are "soft" (dynamic typing/scripting/etc) and some are "hard" (static typing/lower level code/etc). Because some things like UI are too inconvenient to do in static languages so are better as a soft layer, but you want that resting on top of something more proven and type-checked so it still catches bugs easily.

In this case, LLMs are a big blob of unproven data that we don't know why they work, i.e. they're not tested. But that's also the reason they can do everything they do.
Curious to straw/iron man this from the perspective of Reddit and their API "conversations" lately.
I think I was not clear enough.

First there is a floor price on milk. Milk cannot legally be sold below that floor price to consumers.

Farmers are prohibited from selling fresh milk direct to consumers. It's illegal. Period. They can't gift it either. It has to go to a transformer to be mixed with, homogenized and pasteurized.

Dairies and cheese makers, with the proper license, buy fresh milk in bulk to be transformed.

Since yogurt, or cheese, is not milk, there is no floor price. Somehow this often cause the transformed product to cost less than the raw ingredients (milk) that goes into it if you were to purchase that milk as a consumer.

And of course, you can only buy pasteurized, homogenized milk, which is an entire other problems.

This is the case in Quebec, Canada. Other provinces have different but similar laws. The dairy industry is the only one that is protected in such a way, hence why OP commented how crazy the industry is here, as nothing else work that way.
Yes. They are absolutely securities. I explained them to a finance lawyer as basically a zero coupon bond without a fixed maturity date. So basically a variable yield. They quickly understood this and also understood why people would be somewhat reluctant to "invest" in something like that. My particular system had three types of points, one was investment points (weird zero coupon bonds), patent/inventor points (one revenue stream was licensing the portfolio of patents assigned to the company), and the third were service points.

Service points were for vendors, where a vendor contracts for say $100K of services and will be paid $200K for those services (so double their rate) but based on the payout of points vs monthly billed. Interestingly the lawyer I talked with thought this would be popular with law firms. The way that would work is that the vendor would invoice against the point up to the max value of the point. And annually they would receive a payout value of one point (what ever that happened to be) up to 2x what had been billed against the point so far.
For me, Death's Human is unmatched and I don't think you'd have to already be a death metal fan to like it.
Ultimately good mental health care is at odds with how your society is set up in the US. You're very much a capitalist/user-pay type approach. Anything that remotely seems to help the common good gets shot down as "socialism".

Mental health, and a lot of other societal issues (homelessness etc) all need a socialist/common good type solution.

Unfortunately, I just don't see the US being able to get it together, especially combined with the general decline of your country as a whole/on average.
Adding on to this a bit, if the ruling elite's children did eat the same cafeteria good, I think it would be a net boon for society.

Think of how every family in Finland taking home a newborn baby gets a box of starter supplies. The box doubles as a crib, so most babies, regardless of their parents wealth, spend their first days sleeping in the same cardboard box.

IMO it's cool as shit to start everyone off the same way like that. From what I understand it also helps reduce the sort of stigma that can hurt kids taking advantage of free lunch programs

We had experienced serious reductions in carbon utilization in the 2008 recession and COVID restrictions and there wasn't any kind of pull back signal from the temperature record that I can make out. Real global "experiments" that do not back up these extreme positions.

If you really want to make changes it seems to me that the best place to put effort would be pro nuclear rather than cutting industry to the ground. Serious investment in thorium seems a good place to start.
Absolutely no thanks. Where to start? There are so many poorly thought out ideas here it's like a firehose. Videos of crazy intersections somewhat "working" in the third world does not at all suggest a superior, safer, less congested, or more just system.

How about this:

> 5. See eye to eye: Right-of-way is negotiated by human interaction, rather than commonly ignored signs.

First of all, signs are definitely not "commonly ignored". The opposite is true. Right-of-way should be defendable in a fair court. Rules are the only way to do that. If two people see each other fine, what happens when they both "feel" right and enter each other's path?

The article is overloaded with fallacies.

>Undergraduate is a racket. If my kids choose to get into tech I will use my connections to get them a job, either working for one of my companies or for a friend of mine, or start a company with children of friends. Now that is how the real world works - not handing 6 figures every year to a government sponsored scam.

Your solution to the "racket" that is undergraduate education is to... engage in nepotism? What exactly is that supposed to mean in terms of policy implications? Rather than paying tens of thousands for an undergraduate degree, students should just ask their parents to vouch for them instead? What if their parents don't have the connections? And what about the flip side? Should your friends oblige you and hire your children without any credentials just because you're their friend?
To state that the US isn't an effective democracy doesn't counter the argument that journalism as a mechanism for an informed populace is necessary for an effective democracy.

By having a math degree you could possibly leverage your knowledge to get into some niche ML areas which still hire well and might turn out to be more interesting.

I'd consider physics-informed ML, and time-series modeling. Julia has a good ecosystem for the first one, PyTorch + Pyro are great for the second one.
Your argument is that we should never do anything because attempting to do the right thing to people who have had their pasts and futures stolen is hard.

React is probably the best in terms of balance of pros and cons. Not React Native. Flutter was faster to figure out than Flutterflow for me. Should be far easier now that you can just ask ChatGPT.

Native Android works really well for me, especially with Jetpack Compose. I love making MVPs and making MVPs is practically a full time job now. Downside is it's one platform. But often it's enough to just gauge the market. Flutter is easy and better documented though, so just use Flutter.

> 1) they cherry pick the timeframe for historical comparison and conclude college has gotten cheaper (a more honest analysis for that period is that it stayed flat). What about 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago? The silence sure is loud.

The exact quote from them is:

"Sticker prices are rising while net costs remain steady and, in some cases, drop."

I guess you can call that cherry picking, but they're not exactly taking that data and concluding everything is fine. The following paragraphs go through the various reasons why the high prices are bad.

>Yet even with decreasing costs and with discounts, college can still feel unaffordable to many.

>2) Good for them using inflation-adjusted prices. Too bad incomes haven’t kept up with inflation.

Source? At least according to this graph from the BLS[1], incomes have generally kept up with inflation. There are periods where that's not the case (eg. post 2020), but that's likely due to lockdown effects (eg. service workers, who are typically low paid, were laid off, so they were excluded from the average, which bumps it up).
