Education is both for personal growth and systemic human capita / talent development. System can be extremely diminishing returns on individual level, but still effective on collective/state level. Not every country in position to build workforce via brain drain of talent from elsewhere. Policy wise what's left is to brute force talent development, same way sports leagues have their own talent development system by throwing meat at problem and filtering for different tiers of talents to fill different segments of demand. A mixure of predisposed and forcefully cultivated. The goal isn't to get self actualized workforce who do what they love, but to get as much talent relevant for national priorities, i.e. east asia education bias STEM vs humanities. If you beat 6/10 kids into being competent at math when 3/6 those kids would rather be poets, but eventually get funnelled into STEM because extreme measures made them good at science, in lieu of being good at writing, then returns is function of how aligned system is with national priorities (i.e. need 5/10 workforce doing math). What I will say is culturally, preoccupation with credentialism is bad at recapturing talent like you who fall through cracks but found another way. I'm sure the system can be optimized to account for individual differences and even somewhat balance/account for individual desires, but currently even rich well administered countries rarely have resources to make bespoke curricula to ensure most flourish. That said, what's happening in east asia (especially cram schools) is IMO way past diminishing returns, but it does seem to work.

I think it's important to recognize that collective of miserable peoples can still be pushed to do great things. East asia work culture is miserable people working 200% harder for 10% competitive advantage, and now they dominate in a lot of high tech sectors after relatively brief period of development. Of course they're paying for it with low birth rates. But it's crazy how much of the world does not run on happiness. And I dare suggest human progress is built more on a few people doing what they love supported by unending amount of miserable people just along for the ride.

Like Germany did from the US for the F-104, India too got nearly full tech transfer to assemble the MiG-21 from Russia. The Indian Air Force has operated around 1200+ MiG-21's (some of them with indian customisations) and has recorded 400 crashes, 200 pilot and 50 civilians deaths due to it.

> Danvir Singh, a military veteran and defence expert, points out that the Russians had designed the MiG-21 in order to intercept American surveillance aircraft. “They are basically manned missiles; their wingspan is narrow, and landing and take-off speeds are very high,” says the retired colonel. “We had no intermediate trainers initially, so our pilots had to jump into a supersonic aircraft. A majority of the accidents earlier happened because of lack of training. They’re still happening because of high speed, low manoeuvrability, and an old platform the maintenance of which has been a big issue.”

You're just unlucky. The taste issue is determined by genetics [1], although the grossest taste is often the result of sweeteners combined with aspartame, like Ace K.

Sweetener mixes are made so that most people will not taste a gross aftertaste. Some people will experience a bitter aspartame taste, and others will experience a very chemical aftertaste for other sweeteners, but the majority of the market doesn't.

Yes but "vehicle was speeding" is often _not_ the mode in which pedestrians are killed. Pedestrians walk on the shoulders of poorly lit roadways where the speed limits are greater than 35. This is a recipe for disaster and it is a very common mode for pedestrian deaths, up to 30% on some years, the drivers did nothing wrong in these cases.

The other is bad roadway design. I searched FARS once for all accidents where the pedestrian was killed _after_ a vehicle had become airborne in one way or another (e.g. Left The Roadway).

There were more than 100 when I ran the search, one memorable one was, a vehicle was driving on a roadway in winter which had a descending hill next to it, the vehicle hit the brakes to avoid an accident, lost control, went down the hill, rolling several times, and in the process killed a pedestrian and his poor dog, before finally tumbling into the lower road and landing upside down on another vehicle.

So. Pedestrians have zero safety margin out there. Even maximum enforcement of speed limits will have almost no impact on this. Unless you also want to make 10mph the maximum speed limit inside a city.

I’d also presume that the consumption of sugar replacements has increased by an amount related that of sugar’s decline. In the UK you’re hard pressed to find any actual real sugar in soft drinks since the tax was imposed. Instead most things are packed to the gills with alternatives.

It could be argued that because the ability to discuss mens issues openly is only in few places, because in other places such discussions are almost immediately overtaken by talk about womens issues, often by accusing the original discussion of being misogynistic, it leads to a certain hostility towards discussing womens issues.

I have personally witnessed it multiple times when a discussion about mens issues was turned into a talk about womens issues via that very method. So I get why people turn hostile towards discussing womens issues at all, but I also get how that can come across as misogynistic.

I assume you're referring to UK's financial sector. What's wrong with it being one of the leading drivers of the economy? It's not as if manufacturing pays well in a high cost-of-living country.
It's a market-based solution to a market-based problem.

A classic problem which make markets inefficient is "externalities" -- the cost is artificially lowered because some of that cost is "externalized" away from the people selling the product. This artificially low cost causes the markets to allocate resources in a globally non-optimal manner.

One solution is flat regulation -- you can't have more than a certain amount of sugar in your drink. But that's unreasonable and unpopular.

Taxing is a market-based solution: it forces some of the external cost to be borne by the person selling it. This allows the market to allocate resources based on the actual cost, rather than the artificially low cost, while still maintaining the flexibility and diversity of the market, rather than having to impose regulation.

Too big to jail. In Boeing's case, they're also a "strategic defense contractor" making bombs, missile, fighters, bombers, and such besides airliners the flying public uses. They are a big chunk of the military-industrial complex phenomenon Truman warned about.
Not to be that guy but this is the sort of thing I could imagine might benefit from an AI also. Train an AI to recognize drowning, and sound an alarm just in case the lifeguard misses it...
It's just how much you are used to it/individual preferences. Same thing as with any other taste, e.g. spicy food.

To me, sugar drinks feel displeasing. Aspartame doesn't taste like sugar, but it's sweet and that's fine. Most of the taste is the sour one from CO2, citric acid and phosphoric acid anyway.
I had a blog and newsletter where I was writing about everything from rants to dev tutorials. But my bounce rate was high.

I decided to write on separate blogs instead and now I see that people are actually reading my stuff. I also receive emails from a few readers thanking me for my articles.

That's why I recommend keeping your domains separate so that people can read what they're actually interested in.
> Genuine question, how do you find DxO PhotoLab lacking when compared to LR?

It's mostly their "no catalog" approach that irks me. From what I understand they use a model that doesn't use a catalog, and requires you to import photos, but instead allow you to point it at any filesystem location, and work on those photos.

Fair enough, but for me the question then immediately becomes how and where the data that I generate in PL7 is stored and managed - and I was struggling to find any comprehensive information on this.

If it doesn't have a catalog, where does it store edits I make to my photos? Does it actually modify and write down some information in RAW files (that would be a non-starter for me)? Does it litter the filesystem with XMP sidecar files next to the originals? How does it keep (and repair) associations between original RAWs and their edits/metadata if they get moved on the file system outside of PL7?

It allows to search/filter photos by metadata attributes "across your whole computer" (according to their tutorial video on organization). So it must keep some index somewhere, otherwise that would be dog slow. So how and when does that index get updated? Do I get any control over when that happens, any UI feedback when its happening and I'm potentially working with outdated metadata, etc..?

LR's catalog approach has some drawbacks, but from an engineering standpoint, it seems to me that's the much simpler and robust approach to implement this. The LR catalog is a simple SQLite DB, and backup is trivial: Backup my originals and the catalog, done. Follow the simple rule "Don't modify originals behind LR's back" and you'll be good. (Or be prepared to do it in a very systematic way, and fix references in LR afterwards).

The catalog approach definitely has its limitations and issues, but I find it very easy to reason about. No surprises. PL7's approach seems to require much more magic behind the scenes, which makes me quite uncomfortable.

In terms of denoising, I have to agree - the DxO stuff is miles ahead in terms of quality for some algorithms, and denoising is one of them. I use NikCollection (as a PS plugin) for those 1 out of a 1000 photos that deserve some serious editing.

> In the real world if you insist on breaking your paying customers' processes and products over and over again, pretty soon you won't have any paying customers any more

Business 101, your profit is in higher margin or lowering your spending/cost. If your business is stable and making money your customers feel safe and are happy.

Deprecation lowers your cost (system complexity, less maintenance, dev time -> new features, new revenue streams). If you have an almost infinite resources then of course why not, you can support all possible API versions (there are few companies who can afford it and doing it at scale, AWS and Win32 APIs)

Is this tax sized to cover for that externalities or the amount is decided in other basis (likely to maximize government revenue)?

Is the collected money exclusively used to counter the externalities or is the spending left to the discretion of the government?

I'm asking from ignorance, but if the answer of any of those questions is no then the purpose of the tax is not to make up for the externalities.

> and they appear more addictive

_Massive_ citation needed, tbh. Sugar is highly addictive.

(Also, I mean, even if aspartame _was_ very addictive, to some extent, well, so what? To be clear, soft drinks ~never contain the sugar alcohols that people are talking about above; the sheer volumes would have, well, undesirable digestive impact. They use aspartame, which is pretty well-understood at this point.)
