Yes lots of experience with this. I think it depends on where you live. Highly progressive cities and states in the US tend to have staff and administration that are openly pushing their politics in schools. That can show up in terms of curriculum (like requiring ethnic studies and displacing other content), bans on gifted education for DEI reasons, or the more directly political / controversial issues showing up in classrooms and assignments (topics like Trump or gender identity or BLM or whatever).

Humane is founded and populated by ex-Apple folks, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

You're right, though - it's a bit weird because ostensibly the interface is via the GPT system and you've gotta work through those interactions (same problem Alexa had), but given how early both the platform and the product category are, they'd benefit big from letting early adopters build capabilities for them.

2.1 I know I can write down something belonging to one of important projects of mine (writing a thoughtful blogpost, collecting samples for future music track, grabbing something from the Internets for the sake of archiving) and if it is important but I have not done the simple thing of growing the work I feel like very frustrated. Any other cases of forgetting are not important for me, but I can always start a new project if I am sure I want even more information grinding in my life.

3. I have a rule of three slots. If I have remembered about some issue once a week, it is the 1st slot. Next time I move the issue to the 2nd slot. Third time is the time I got to solve the issue.

I don't speak either, but would posit that the status of Chinese as an East Asian Lingua Franca caused it to trend toward simplicity, whereas Japanese insularity (physical, cultural, and political, especially during the Edo period) provided far less incentive to simplify.

I'm approaching retirement (as in, probably months away), and allow the brokerage to manage a lot of our money for reasons that aren't important for this discussion. And even as old fogey almost-pensioners, the brokerage doesn't have us anywhere near in 40% bonds. From a bit of a skim of TFA, yeah, it's a dated strategy from a time that has long-since passed. Additionally, that portfolio allocation didn't do all that well even in the past.

One advantage of self-publishing (even on Amazon where you can order "author's copies" - https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G7BBN68RYX5UMDZF ) is that you can get the "whole enchilada" if you do the footwork at conventions, speaking slots, etc.

And anyone who is already doing those kinds of things, should consider writing a book to go along with it, even if self-published. The sales can add up over time.

> But if you got a computer program with 1% of the instructions switched out, I bet you’d get a non-working program.

I believe it was a comment I saw on here once that took it a step further and included the OS and all hardware logic in there as well. I can have two identical desktop computers with only one program installed on each, the only difference being that the program is totally different. Those two devices could ultimate be two seemingly completely unrelated machines to the end user, even though they share far more than 99% of the exact same instructions. The only "code" they wouldn't share is the specific program they run. Everything else from the hardware to the OS is many millions of "lines" that are the same.

Something that plays movies nonstop vs a production database. Photoshop vs Halo: The Master Chief Collection. An IDE vs a point of sale system. Control software vs a web browser. A program that locks you into the software vs one that still gives you access to the OS. The differences can start getting seemingly huge very quickly.

If I found out that Android was eavesdropping my Spotify credentials, I'd be just as stupified, yes.

If I found that Android built in some Spotify integration that worked by stealing my active session cookies to do some backdoor integration with it, and billed it as some future AI smart service, I'd find it equally g-d absurd, yes.

Do I think that me logging into the Spotify app, in Android, and it exchanging those credentials for an app-internal access token is the same as a server hijacking my session? No, not really, I don't.

That's what's so damn brazen and shoddy about this. SPOTIFY HAS OAUTH.

Most target date funds are invested up to 80-90% in equities early in their life, with the remainder being bonds and short term (cash) investments. The re-allocation to bonds as the target date is approached (at which point the fund converts to a terminal income fund) is to reduce equity volatility and sequence of return risk (ie maximize growth exposure when it can be tolerated, reduce exposure as risk tolerance declines due to approaching income need).

We'd all like to capture maximum risk adjusted returns, but compromises must be made depending on your desired outcome and constraints.
Thanks, nice one and helpful.

I think this is fairly well known and uninteresting. The unhealthy food the average American (or urban resident globally) consumes is much higher in calories than most think.

> In fact, strong (~free) capital markets in which acquisitions happen frequently allow for more efficient (~optimal) allocation of resources

I argue that's an opinion.

I also argue that allowing for does not mean ensures.

I also argue that, in practice, acquisitions happening freely typically result in "more efficient" allocation of humans to the detriment of those humans. Also, "more efficient" allocation of resources often increases the cost of those resources to other humans consuming those resources.

So yes, it's a valid opinion but in practice the stated results are infrequently achieved and come with significant costs that aren't accounted for in a purely free market situation.

This is only really a solution if ALL developers are unwilling to write such s/w.

Those people did everything according to Google's guidelines then Google changed everything and screwed them over. That's what has been happening all the way since 2010 when they issued their first update and penalized all the small sites for following their guidelines. They are screwing everyone for their shareholders' sake.

> gambled with their livelihood

Google owns ~90% of search. Its basically a public utility at this point. On which every small business owner has to rely. There is no saying "Go use a competitor" when using a competitor means you will lose access to ~90% of world search traffic. Imagine your salary being cut down to 10% of what it was last month - that's what using an 'alternative' to google for your business means.

These tech giants have been holding literal unregulated power over the livelihoods of people for decades now. And as we have recently come to see in many examples, they use that power to screw over everyone for shareholders.

The situation we have today is a situation that is as crazy as privatizing the entire road network and allowing an unregulated company to do whatever with the traffic that runs on it.
