Why would you diminish all those silent heroes who do decline the morally bankrupt job despite not making rent , or having to carry bad financial decisions?

The truth is that in the US we do have some very expensive social safety nets, and it always comes back to the morals of the individual. You can rationalize just about anything against all kinds situations, but in the end we are talking about someone morally corrupt, or morally steadfast.

Dont justify the injustifiable.

Instead Judge character in the hard times and use that opportunity elevate the heroes that do the right thing im the face of adversity.
You didn't even try clicking the article. It is a super short article and the data there is very clear. Nothing to do with anyone or anything than some statistical changes over time.
I'm not convinced that note taking in this much detail is worth it. I have coworkers that do it and they can't recall information any better than the people who take no notes

I think some notes are better than others, especially in a job with many context switches. If you need it to get into context: worth writing down. If you are writing just to get "completeness" it's basically pointless. Your brain is pretty good at remembering stuff
Your post is just as misleading. The ceo is irrelevant and his outward appearance speaks nothing to performance.

The more realistic assessment is that the path of innovation approaches a limit. Tesla was first to market, after that there’s not much left to innovate other than fusion powered cars.

Tesla created the market and they are losing first mover advantage as competitors move in and set up shop. The market is saturating and this is actually expected.
I agree. I'm in the fortunate situation where I'm using an ISP-provided router but have admin access. There really wasn't any config that I needed to change but changed the DNS server (as ISP ones are a common point of failure) and not much else. Plus I use another mesh router behind it anyway (as well as DNS-over-https in my browser).

Millions of tons is a lot, but when the overall Fossil CO2 emissions are in trillions then it isn't really where we need to focus. I can't see how they're justified in saying it is a significant contributor.

There are probably plenty of reasons aside from CO2 to maintain the lake.

The issue isn’t spreading healthcare costs, but that healthcare costs have been skyrocketing, making costs higher whether they’re spread around or not. The price of insulin, which in theory is not protected by patents (there are incremental “improvements” which are, but even the “old” ones are still skyrocketing in price), has almost 10X’d since 2000. Something is very wrong. Same story with epipens and most of the rest of healthcare.
Yeah, hearing the complaints about Sync is just confusing. I didn't have the money to pay for yet another subscription but i wanted to have the same notes on my phone as my computer, and have some backup somewhere. I just googled it and within 30 minutes i have a completely free git syncing plugin working on my laptop and phone installations with a private repository that backs up and holds the complete history.

It was very easy and immediately discoverable. Some day when my savings account starts going up again I'll pay for sync but it was trivial to get "Obsidian Git" plugin working in the meantime
Sounds like an amazing return but the compound annual growth rate of Altria over 100 years is only 16%. Compare to capital allocators like Buffett and the numbers are well above 20% over long periods, with the added benefit of diversification.
Interesting! Didn't expect that. Also useful statistic with the 30%, makes sense I guess.

Getting off-topic at this point I guess, but I think national bans can go both ways (and everything in between). I suppose (alcohol) Prohibition and the War on Drugs in the US are prominent examples, but I don't think such bans are doomed to fail necessarily — especially if they are tied with genuine cultural or religious beliefs, geographic isolation, pragmatic unavailability or the thing being banned being simple "not in fashion",,
The better option is to turn those renters into owners for both residential, commercial, and industrial.

Eliminate the rent seeking class as a set of buyers from the real estate pie and force developers through permitting to only sell — not lease their properties.

This seems like an insane default. What’s the rationale?
I set up a solution with iOS and a-shell and otherwise maintain my notes in Git with automation. This seems to get around the limitations that are encountered with large amounts of files.

Your linked paper still didn't answer the "why" for me. This one posits a clearer answer: microbial respiration in sediment as it dries out is the leading cause of CO2 flux [1]. If I understand the process, exposed lakebed leaves soil organic matter for microbes to digest and as a byproduct they output CO2.

William the conqueror [1] is a direct descendant of a viking, Rollo, who made a deal with the king of France: territory in exchange for protection against the other vikings. The name of this territory is relatively well-known for other historical reasons: Normandy. The conquest of England by William "the conqueror", duke of Normandy, is why the English language has a significant number of French origin.

- it has a robust ecosystem of useful open plugins

- it has a useful mental model

- you’re not tied to the vendor, it’s just markdown

In short, it’s just well made useful software. Nerds like that.

My assumption is that when the FDA was created there were already a large number of foods and food additives and testing all of those would have been impossible (and would have struck the public as absurd).

You also have to deal with the fact that food processors are fairly powerful and that the number of new foods/additives created a year would swamp the agency and be virtually untestable.
The same rationale for the Chevron defense (attacking the root of its power) - there's a large base of republicans who don't want to increase regulation on much of anything, and especially big business.

Mel Gibson even famously was part of an ad campaign to make sure that nobody COULD regulate supplements and to this day there's basically just about anything in those things you can buy at any convenience store.

I'm curious why they didn't do an unmanned live test, like SpaceX did with Crew Dragon? I'm reminded of the old adage, "never fly in a plane with a tail number less than 10". Is it just the expense? I presume we're past the point where we need humans to drive the thing.

This is nonsense advice. Would you take the advice of someone who recommended never driving because any level of driving risks death? That's obviously stupid.

The sun's deadly rays might give you cancer and there's no safe level of sunlight!!

Risks are about trade-offs. If the American Cancer Society wants to be helpful and actually listened to they need to provide practical actionable advice, not this cop-out.

I haven't been in London for a few years but less than 100k for a head of backend feels low. It might be a thing with being in the right network or in the wrong one, though, I'm aware it's above the average.

Treat equities like a lottery ticket, don't even consider it in your calculations. Most times it amounts to nothing, which will be especially true in this economy, if you ask me.

Great that you are maxing pension. Over 50k you should really put as much as you can in pension and more - as you are taxed 40% (which is insane as well, if you ask me).

My strategy for being over 100k was doing everything through a limited company.

Consider working through a limited company so you can:
- Keep income in the company and defer income taxes (potentially to a future time when you are in a country with 0% tax on dividends or when you stop working and have low income for a year)
- Charge expenses
- Consider VAT Flat rate to pocket a few more quids (this is if you don't have expenses)
- Do investments (stocks, real estate + charging rent) as a business before paying income tax
- Hire your wife if she's not working
- Withdraw a small amount of tax free dividends (it used to be 5k once, now it's down to 500) and I think it may be beneficial to withdraw some more dividends at a low rate over salary to reduce your nhs contributions
- Other income can also flow into the company

Unfortunately you have the IR35 crap to check, so make sure all parties are ok with those terms over FTE. I personally never had problems getting roles below VP of Eng as a contractor but it depends on what managers think. The way of the remote contractor with multiple clients can also be quite lucrative (way more than a FTE)
For those who just want a summary, the conclusion is... it's complicated. From the paper:

"Rent controls appear to be quite effective in terms of slowing the growth of rents paid for dwellings subject to control. However, this policy also leads to a wide range of adverse effects affecting the whole society."

So you get the first order effect you wanted "rent stays low in the area" but you get all kinds of adverse second order effects (higher rents outside controlled areas, poorer maintenance, lower new construction rates, etc.)
> everybody pays a negligible amount into the kitty

I'm not sure this amount can be negligible even if we were able to make the system economically efficient such that no entities have outsized profit margins.

Some things about modern medicine are just expensive. Discovering a new drug and bringing it to market takes a long time and probably has to if we want drugs that work and don't do more harm than good. Growing monoclonal antibodies, which are wonderdrugs for certain conditions, is a resource-intensive process. Even more mundane stuff is expensive. Surgery requires a team of highly skilled professionals. An MRI machine is expensive to own and operate.

Please, don’t spread misinformation. The problem is already bad enough.

The ocean is far from being saturated in CO2 even at the projected temperature increase. It will not release its content into the atmosphere. That’s not how this particular equilibrium works.

The potential issue we are facing is not a release but the end or more likely a slow down of absorption as currents bringing water from the surface to the depth are distributed. That could lead to surface water becoming effectively saturated.

This would be a big issue because the current strategy to limit overall warming is reaching net zero in 2050 and then letting the ocean socks up some of the excess CO2.

From my point of view, that’s why we should be sceptical of a purely net zero based solution and need to invest heavily in carbon capture, clean abundant energy (we really need fusion more than ever) and seriously study geo-engineering based temporary solutions to grant us the time we need.

You don't write notes for memory recall, if you wanted recall you use something like Anki. You don't want your brain remembering everything so you write it down so you know where you can get it later if needed. I don't remember all there is to know about React because documentation is there when I need it. And your brain is really good at misremembering and fabricating information so taking notes at work makes sure your timeline of events is correct.
