I agree that real wages are back to 2020 levels.

Though, I was responding to specifically: "by any metric", and the presence of one poor metric does not justify that statement.

> So the average working person is in fact worse now economically than they were 2-3 years ago.

I don't think that logic holds. Real wages is not _the_ one measure of economic health. I would agree that it is likely a significant portion. I would posit that whether you are employed or not is another significant measure, as would be things like net household wealth (which are back to early 2022 levels) [1]

> It's not just a subjective feeling

To some extent, the metrics do not show that to be an objective feeling. For example, real wages are back to 2020 levels, would we expect consumer confidence to be at the same level? If real wages and economic health strongly correlate, I would suspect consumer confidence would as well.

The data shows we're a good bit under 2020 and are at confidence levels of 2017 [2]

On the other hand, economic sentiment _is_ subjective. For example, if you and everyone in your town is in the 30th percentile of the economy, it's not going to feel like things are going well. Which is to say, no one person can easily get enough anecdotal experience for it to be statistically significant.

What's more, economic health is hard to measure. $30/hour might be great if you live with parents & have no debt, but it could be crushing if you have children and rent. Which is to say, I'm quite sure you can't therefore accurately say 'in fact worse now economically' based on one measure.

Tilt rotor aircraft have interconnected gearboxes so that they can fly on a single engine. In case of a dual engine failure in vertical lift mode the autorotation capability is very limited due to low rotor inertia; chance of survival is low from any significant altitude. In case of a dual engine failure in airplane mode it can glide like a regular airplane, but the glide ratio is low and stall speed is high so although in ideal circumstances the pilot might be able to put it down safely the most likely outcome is everyone dies.

We made that change around 2017. Mozilla Developer Network is somewhat ambiguous. In surveys and user interviews people were confused about the name. Web developers thought it might be a resource specifically for Mozilla developers, which to be fair was the focus in the earlier days. The web platform documentation was just one part of many Mozilla related things documented on MDN for some time. In 2017 though the web platform documentation had grown to make up 95% of MDN's traffic and it had become clear that it was not primarily a resource for Mozilla developers anymore, the name change to "MDN Web Docs" was intended to reflect that change in focus.
The problem is some places are more desirable than others. Penthouses, even if they're not big, they are, for most people, more desirable than the bottom floor. They have a view. They're away from noise. They're often away from rats, roaches, ants which start at the bottom.

Similarly any place on the side of a hill, a cliff, a beach, ... You're unlikely to ban such places (all buildings 1 story?) Even if you managed that they're the house on the quiet street and the loud house next to the highway/trainline/airport

You could try to make such places merit based but that only turns into a different kind of bribe and cronyism. Money is at least, somewhat obtainable by anyone. Plenty of people were not rich and became rich, maybe by luck, but at least it's a higher rate of churn than central authority has ever been.
For one, miners are already deployed to use up flared oil wells and landfills which mitigates methane emissions which is very important in terms of reducing total impact of GHG emissions.

Otherwise miners are buying cheap energy anywhere they can find it, and using waste energy on the grid, of which there's tons. The idea that they're going to spike demand isn't even correct because mining can scale to any level of power generation. Also mining does not cause emissions, mining simply purchases generated power, and emissions are caused by power generation from non-renewables.

If mining is emitting GHGs you could say the same thing about EV cars or any other power consumer. But like I said at least bitcoin as a consumer can be ideally placed ANYWHERE especially where energy is plentiful but not easily used otherwise.

> Do note that the article mentions that the largest clusters are in, um, Texas and the Appalachians, and their providers of electricity seem to largely be, uh, natural gas and coal power, respectively.

I’ve made no claim that Tesla is any better or worse than other manufacturers. Rather, I’ve simply used this data point as a potential red flag. I have worked in auto manufacturing so I at least have some experience here. I’ve been equally critical of other manufacturers when there is evidence of process gaps that miss requirements. But Tesla has a not-so-great record when it comes to quality, so there’s more than this single data point. I haven’t t framed this as “Tesla vs. E’rybody” but it’s telling that how you think of it.
The problem with collectivism is less with collectivism as platonic ideal (which has a lot of romantic appeal), and more with the inevitable concentration of power it requires and thereby enables.

The reason there has been no successful implementation of it is that the process of enacting it is inherently fragile. And some bastard is going to exploit that fragility.

Then you're screwed and we end up with the bountiful historical examples that people love to cite & then others refute as "that's not real xyz-ism".

You're absolutely correct that they're not "real" xyz-ism. And that should make you very worried about supporting something that has the same or similar end goals as those initiatives once had.

The article says "unpublished assessment" but the reason it's unpublished is because it was put on hold, as explained here: https://fluoridealert.org/articles/ntp-will-make-blocked-neu....

Here's a link to an earlier draft of the report: https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/sites/default/files/ntp/about_ntp/... (caution, large PDF file). Look at the summary in 82, with some comments by reviewers. The summary text says:

"Existing animal
studies provide little insight into the question of whether fluoride exposure affects IQ. Human
mechanistic studies were too heterogenous and limited in number to make any determination on
biological plausibility. The body of evidence from studies on adults is also limited and provides
low confidence that fluoride exposure is associated with adverse effects on adult cognition.
There is, however, a large body of evidence on IQ effects in children. There is also some
evidence that higher fluoride exposure is associated with other neurodevelopmental and
cognitive effects; although, because of the heterogeneity of the outcomes, there is low
confidence in the literature for these other effects. This review finds, with moderate confidence,
that higher fluoride exposure [e.g., represented by populations whose total fluoride exposure
approximates or exceeds the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality of 1.5 mg/L of
fluoride (WHO 2017)] is consistently associated with lower IQ in children. More studies are
needed to fully understand the potential for lower fluoride exposure to affect children’s IQ."

The commenters raise some objections about the way confidence of the results were expressed.

I think the consequences are so dire (IQ impairment in children) that any doubt has to be rigorously examined.
I guess it's more about the reader's lack of knowledge.

I think we can all agree the stock market is already on a tear / in a bull market phase / whatever you want to call it. Whether or not it "should be" is a different question? How can the "tech sector" be laying lots of people off (https://layoffs.fyi/) but also crushing earnings and growing a lot?

To think that... as the Federal Reserve lowers rates in the near-term future (12-18 months), that this cash will go from "risk off" (in money market accounts) to "seeking return of greater than 5%" (risk on)... and make its way into "the market" (index funds, etc.)... would mean that the market stands to go even higher and the bull run based on AI hype/etc. is only getting started? Valuation be damned.

Even if that's true, I think a lot of people have a long way to go before reaching $10 million in wealth, and there always would be, so it's not like there are just a few "chosen ones" who could do so much more if they were motivated to earn $1 billion, and society will suffer otherwise.
I'd also add a [University] after "Rice", for clarity
It seems likely that the only way to become a billionaire is through worker exploitation, collusion, cheating the system through tax evation and asset laundering, etc.

I think politico-economic interference is the crux of the problem.

For example, someone with $10 million are trying to maintain their lifestyle, they want to know what stocks, bonds, and certificates, and real estate to invest in.

Someone with $100 million are trying to leverage through venture capital, joining corporate boards, owning platforms, etc.

Someone with $1+ billion will find that the most cost effective way to keep and gain wealth is buying lobbyists, campaign donations, starting and controlling some non-profits that have tax and spending incentives, getting favors by giving politician's kids high profile jobs, and any other innumberable political grift that maintain their wealth status and that only really work at that scale.

I wouldn't care if billionaires were just hoarding some money. But they are not, and all this while they pay bad wages and have even shoved off the cost of training for their jobs onto society and the labor force who have to speculate and pay for their own training.

Removing fluoride from drinking water would presumably increase cavities, which would increase business for dentists.
I've been wanting to say this: Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Don't have experience? Go on Upwork or Craiglist and grab any job you can. Here's a tip: learn about your competition. Once you do, offer your services for $5 less. This shows you're eager and it's a better strategy than endlessly submitting applications without response. Take any job, excel at it, earn that 5-star review, and build your reputation. Remember, the 'hot hand' has the advantage. Picture yourself as a day laborer outside a U-Haul, ready to say 'I can do it!' first. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. GET HOT ROOKIE!

My son is a biochemist (interviewing for grad school slots right now, as in this actual evening, I'm living vicariously through him, wish him luck). I've been for years paying attention to bio/chem/biotech experts on HN, because I'm a biochem dad. We have lots of expertise about COVID here. None of it is on these COVID threads because all of them would apparently rather eat a bug than "truth it out" with people paraphrasing Bari Weiss. The verdict is in. You're on the wrong side of it!

The most frustrating part of economic arguments, right there.

There is an official policy that prices will go up exponentially, controlled by a tiny committee who implements the policy by, effectively, money printing. The official justification is a just-so story with no compelling evidence that I've ever seen. We seem to have gotten there because politicians don't like sound management any more than anyone else and just borrow and spend until the money runs out. And the outcome is asset owners get an enormous leg up over everyone else and the biggest asset owners get privileged.

Given the level of this-sounds-crazy in the policy mix there should be much better justifications for all this policy than people accept. We should routinely be seeing actual studies by real economists justifying this madness. It looks like trash policy.
Almost anyone that's making substantial money off of land is already paying property tax on it, as well as any income tax that applies. Now, the income and the property taxes they're paying are in many cases woefully inadequate, but I'm pretty sure the solution to that is to improve the tax system and patch the loopholes, not to add a separate additional tax for everyone to keep track of.
I'm still in the first stage, it's already very strange to see how such a simple change (working copy being a commit) can trip your brain.
