>Ideally we would have freedom and accountability. If everyone knew that I watched porn but respected by right to do so, that's the ideal.

sure, but we know ideals are just that. We know even today that saying you are homosexual can get you harassed by certain circles. We know that anonymous sources are necessary so that the whistleblower isn't retaliated upon by the government, company, or peers.

These aren't new issues and humanity has probably dealt with it in all of civilized history. I think preserving anonymity is a much easier fight than trying to make everyone get along and accept one another.

>Privacy is what I do without interacting with the public

You are granted privacy even when in public. You may be wearing a skirt and a strong breeze blows in the park. A pervert isn't entitled to take a picture of you because you were in public and happened to have your underwear revealed. or worse, throw themselves under you and take a picture directly.

Even without the extreme example, there are a bunch of privacy laws in terms of how and who and where you can record in public. Privacy in general simply means:

>The state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people.

And this is granted to you even if in public spaces. It's part of why we have public indecency laws to begin with: because a person performing lewd conduct (especially in front of minors) has been determined to be disturbing the public's privacy.

Supporting designated terrorist organizations is not cool. Also Hamas just committed a bunch of grizzly murders of innocent civilians, not exactly resistance fighters at the moment. I am all for root causes and opposing the seemingly never ending Israeli occupation, and the settlements which are forcibly displacing Palestinians from their homes, but aligning one’s self with Hamas, especially at this time, is both morally wrong and also going to get you on watch lists, and probably rightly so.

To make the situation better you should have compassion and also strive towards compromise and not just pick your side and root for them to dominate the other - it doesn’t have to be zero sum.

Coddling is not universal (especially in context). You can't be coddled on the internet, while you may be physically. People who have plenty of money growing up, aren't universally degenerate. So no, I don't agree, anymore than I would agree that beating them makes them strong.

I'm not sure what you're getting at with the overly-simplistic strawman, when the issue is complex. Primarily, it's an issue that needs to be identified and mitigated to avoid tragedy and to what degree. That is the discussion that follows acknowledgement and western society isn't there yet.
Microsoft chickened out because Sony was absolutely slaughtering them in sales by being $100 cheaper.

Granted price isn’t the only reason - MS’s self-inflicted bad PRs and slightly lower graphical performance of the XB1 - but it really wasn’t helping.

At the end of the day, their core demographic wasn’t interested in the gimmick that was the Kinect.
The Antarctic is playing 'catch-up'. There is a lag between the build-up of CO2 in the Northern Hemisphere where most of the World's population live, and the transfer across the Equator into the Southern Hemisphere of the CO2 that those people produce.

We saw lots of melting in the Arctic first of course, but as the CO2 comes south we'll see more and more melting in the Antarctic as well as temperatures rise there too.

30-60mg, and this is not recommended for more than 7 days for sinuses

It's actually a fairly significant dose already.

Lol. Normally I wouldn't agree with this type of gatekeeping, but this guy sounds like a millionare complaining about how expensive gas is.

@OP - Figure it out now because it gets harder as you get older. Maintenance is easier than progress, if you get fat it's a hard hole to dig yourself out of. Get a standing desk. Do basic calisthenics every morning. Put a pull-up bar in your bedroom doorway and do a couple everytime you walk through it. Run a few times a week. Leave a dumbbell in your kitchen and do an occasional curl when you're cooking. Take a multivitamin. Don't eat garbage. The best diet for me is 99% of calories from meat and veggies, and eat as much as I want. Fat+protien is filling and lasting, carbs and sugar give me strong feelings of hunger a few hours later.

Also - you're working WAY too much. Aim for 8-5, with a long day being 6. You need to average below capacity so there's margin left to add when shit's on fire. That's true of both your time and your energy. If you're fresh when the fire hits, that's your time to shine. If you're burnt out when the fire hits, you burn to death.

When everyone is a millionaire, no one is.
Calling everyone a millionaire because inflation is rampant seems pretty disingenuous even if technically true. It used to mean that you were wealthy. Now it just means you have a house and a 401k.

Edit: for the naysayers, a new Ford truck costs $100k.
Am I read incorrectly but new horizon is a bit too “cheap” at < 1 billion us$. Not my money of course. Still not excessive.
The problems for me really began when I was no longer able to get in to any zone -- part of this came with a shift in to more managerial roles and constantly having to split my attention between multiple people and projects.

The diagnosis has at a minimum put a lot of context on to large parts of my life and the medication leaves me with some energy left over at the end of the day instead of collapsing like a zombie into the sofa. Still a work in progress.

Silly inflation misunderstandings aside - the median net worth seems more relevant which they peg at $192k. Seems about in line with what I expected.

Yeah, well. It's not that you're exaggerating about how bad BART is (although there is that to some extent), it's that you're downplaying how much nonsense goes on with personal vehicles. Over the past couple decades I've commuted by car, Muni, and BART and while Bay Area transit isn't as bad as the suburbanites claim the drivers are among the worst I've experienced anywhere. At this point post-pandemic it's like a parody of Max Max.

That's why the median --- which is mentioned at 193k in the article --- is a much more useful metric for household income/net worth. It's just like saying whenever Bill Gates walks into a room, the average person in that room instantly becomes a billionaire.

A general feeling of guidance to do a certain thing, followed by a full-body feeling of euphoria when doing that thing. Sometimes accompanied by "coincidental" positive interactions surrounding that thing.

Ephesians 5:18 instructs us to "not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit". And it is indeed accurate that the feeling is a higher high than wine or weed will take you. I suppose molly or heroin might be superior but I have no experience with those. And there's something psychologically nice about feeling good because you are doing the God-ordained right-thing, versus simply hijacking chemical receptors. And the Holy Spirit has no "come-down", which is nice.
What's your experience with the more recent non sedating antihistamines?

I find that Allegra is pretty helpful with minimal to no side effects, Zyrtec doesn't have a lot of side effects but isn't as helpful, and then Claritin is about the same benefit as Zyrtec with a bit of fogginess.
That's not how you bring in adoption or sell products. They should have build something amazing using Kinect that everyone would have wanted one and not cared about buying it separately. Then if everyone had one then devs would have come. But they themselves did not have some amazing use for it.
The most important part is this article is that this is the mean.

The median net worth is $192,900 (as per the article).

This just shows there is an extreme wealth disparity.
Despite to poor wording, this DOES NOT mean the median household is a millionaire
I believe some Android ROMs do come with passwords that when entered wipe out everything on the device.
Honestly depends where you are. I lived in a town of around 100k at one point with probably 250k in the surrounding area and we were severely under pharmacied for how much demand there was. There was always a 20+ minute line. CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, didn't matter.

Now I live in a large metro area and I almost never wait.;
With the Gini index, mean household means nothing. What the median US household is worth is what means anything. If only one household had all wealth, its vicissitudes and upswings would change the mean - but not the unknown median.
"The more things change, the more they stay the same."

Millennials, X-Gens, etc, are discovering exactly what the Boomers discovered exactly a generation ago: That they are a 'sandwich generation', squeezed between looking after their elderly parents and looking after their demanding children.

'Twas ever thus. Over thousands of years.

Every generation thinks they have discovered 'Something New'.

As I said above: "The more things change, the more they stay the same."
I rather like namecheap.
It probably make sense to pre-position them to the spot most likely to reduce time to pick up the next predicted passenger.
That's what it always meant. Most people that become one reach millionaire status in their older age with a paid off house and a stock portfolio.

For most people in the US, being in jail, even if only for a couple months would mean losing their home too.
It's not at all "calling everyone a millionaire." The "Mean American household" is just the mean, not any real household. Example:

If you have a population of 1000 where one person is a billionaire and everyone else has $0, then the "mean person" is a millionaire when in fact almost everyone has nothing.

The real situation isn't a pure "winner takes all" like that, but it's still quite lopsided.
> The work-life balance isn’t terrible, but not great either. I generally get in around 7:30 AM and leave by 6-7. A bit earlier than the standard I think, but not overall not terrible.

Everyone is mentioning the long work hours, and I'm also not surprised you feel too tired to exercise more than 20 minutes when you spend around 12 hours working + commuting.

But also, are you working out and eating smartly? You mention intense workouts and not having energy, what about doing lower-intensity, longer workouts or a combination of the 2? And the only food you've mentioned is fast food, do you ever cook for yourself?

That's a lot higher than I would've thought.

I wonder if negative net worth is included in the mean and median calculations, or if it's clamped to 0.
I agree with you that the idea seems intuitively like it would be better, however I'm skeptical that it will work and that it is the 'correct' way to run traffic.

To quote your own example, this will be controlled by the government, which takes a long time to do physical infrastructure projects. So I would lately just assume it's not worth the investment dollars.
Your premise is, to put it politely, completely wrong. Even considering how broad the scope was, Van Ness took well longer than it should've. The delays were almost entirely political, driven by one supervisor who was on a mission to preserve the street lights.

Meanwhile the solution you've put forth is almost entirely political and even were there general acceptance of privatizing the roads that sort of project would be mired in just as much NIMBYism. Even then you're talking about, what, refunding federal monies that have already been spent? Levying a new tax (which will require a 2/3 voter approval), subsidizing private corporations, and kneecapping transit? And for what? A system that has a fraction of the capacity of the existing bus and tram infrastructure?

Beyond the gall to suggest privatizing our roads, you're suggesting handing it all over to Google? Really? A corporation with a track record of zero customer or long-term product support is not in a position to run our roads.

This industry is evil, and I can't fathom what kind of a market would exist for driverless cars. KITT is science fiction. In reality, human drivers are almost always going to be safer. I would never trust my life or those I care about to ride inside a computer-operated vehicle.

Those that do are making a costly mistake. Any robot-assisted car still requires a human driver to be paying attention to the road, but by definition, because the robot does most of the driving, the human failsafe is going lulled into a false sense of security, or bored by effectively driving without actually driving. They will slack, and when the critical moment of awareness from the human is needed, he will be caught off guard, as opposed to the actual human driver who was aware the entire time, because he always had to be.

More to the point, even if I had a 100% guarantee of safety, I would never want to have the joys of driving taken away from me in the first place! Driving is liberating. It's power. It's the freedom to go anywhere and do anything. It's, dare I say, cathartic.

And for those that are unable to drive, Uber & Lyft exist to fill in the gap. They are themselves a relatively new technology, just under a decade old, and you can always find a quick, affordable ride on demand to just about anywhere.

What gap in the market would a self-driving car even fulfill?

This is yet another example of the arrogance of big tech, pushing out unsafe and socially deleterious products in the hopes of a get rich quick scheme. It's no different to what social media did a decade ago or what "generative a.i." is doing now.
Everyone seems very focused on the (illuminating) distinction between median and mean.

Are we maybe not thinking enough about there’s some level of difference between the two that’s a real issue?

I was disabled and slated for major surgeries when I backed at under 10,000 total backers. Have a physical card something near 7500.
I am still disabled and slated for major surgeries. Never know if I’ll be able to comfortably play the game.

A friend of mine started medschool at the same time and is now nearly fully through medschool. He’s also a backer under 10,000.
He doesn’t know if he’s never going to have any time to play, or if he’s going to fully drop out of life (likely) and only be a doctor and play Star Citizen with all of his free time in life. Bit of a neurotic asocial fellow.

Anyways, I have a post history across social medias to show that I’ve never doubted this game would fully come to fruition. Around 2016 or so I concluded I might change my mind if they had nothing meaningful to show after 15 years.

The hate surrounding so many things about this company/game has always been exceptionally amusing to me. There are people in the subreddit/YouTube that have quite literally been complaining on an at-least weekly basis since like. 2014 (I say this as I post shadowbanned on HN)
They really devote a significant portion of their lives solely to being extremely butthurt about the company, Chris Roberts, and his wife. The disgruntled ex-employees that come out of the woodwork every now & then are wild too.

They’re still not completely out of the pits yet, but I think people are going to be surprised when this ends up being a completely jawdropping(decade defining?) game.
I also think I’ll probably still be disabled, even if I have surgery soon, recovery is very, very long.

That is not what this means at all. There's a big difference between mean (with outliers included) and median.

My gut says that this is related to real estate, where most Americans have much of their wealth, which has seen price increases, and whose value the government props up with socialist policies. [1]

Is there any data exploring the relationship between real estate and median family net worth? I would be curious to see a model correlating property values to median household wealth - because I'd imagine there's a strong correlation.

[1] note: socialism strictly means "centralized planning", which these government programs are. So, I use the term in an academic sense, not a derogatory one.
I think that wording is wrong. "Household" is not an algebraic unit, and thus there is no mean. We're left to interpret what is meant, and responsible statisticians would say "the mean net worth of American families"
I am fully expecting Halo style orbital drop shock troopers (ODST), basically like paragliders but special forces stationed in space and who jump from an orbital spacecraft in battle mech suits, directly into enemy territory. The future of the battlefield will not be slaughterbots but humans in battle suits, similar to exoskeletons but that give the operator ability to guide or participate in decision loop of accompanying killer bots/drones. One trooper would be the equivalent of an infantry platoon and can be deployed from space or extreme depths of the ocean (subs). Of course I am merely speculating.
