In no way does it set a dangerous precedent. Fortifying flour and iodizing salt (both of which could be termed a "medical treatment") were huge successes, with universally positive results and at virtually no cost. Mandating something like this should be done cautiously (in either direction), but fluoride isn't the first, only, or last example of it.

The only difference is that it's rather harder to avoid fluorinated water than iodized salt if one is so inclined, which raises the bar for proof of efficacy and preponderance evidence that it does not cause harm (which has been provided by others in this thread).
The EU is very slooow to act. It might happen during the next administration but only if each 27 of them are convinced it's a good idea. Like the 2% fot NATO which now is insufficient. How about 5%, since Russia is prepared for war and we have China to worry about.

This can broadly be alleviated by regulations that make it far cheaper and easier to build.

Currently, demand is the only access by which housing markets are dictated in heavily NIMBY areas like SF. Supply is an underused level due to cost and permitting issues.
I don't think your approach is bad, nor is it in conflict with the advice in the article, at least in spirit. You aren't (I think) describing a situation where your untested guesses end up in a released product, or in ill-founded advice to colleagues. (Both of those actually do happen.) Forming and testing hypotheses is valuable, building on unfounded assumptions is a very different thing.

Real estate is insanely expensive - you have to sell a lot of shoes with your "100% markup" to make rent.

And as you get closer to retirement start moving them into more fixed income. I don't know if the same options are available in the states, but in Canada Vanguard, Blackrock and others offer broad market index funds that have risk profiles that you can move through as you get close to retirement, allowing you to slowly pull out of equities and move into bonds. You shouldn't be 2 years from retirement and still 100% into equities.

I'm starting to subscribe to the idea this was blatant market manipulation.

Trump is only out to make money, the guy never had any other thought in life since money gives him status, fame, and power.

It's a grift, as any other of his grifts, but now he can manipulate the whole stock market with his power.

There's nothing else that I can rationally come up with to explain this absurdity.

As GGP said, this doesn't compare. There's even nothing magically non-linear about it: people stay employed, because they know the UBI study will only last a few years, after which they'll need to get back to normal. It makes no sense to interrupt your career for it, as the "hole in your CV" will just turn into a severe and compounding disadvantage in lost years and experience.

It's the only "powerful" thing he can use that doesn't require him going back to congress.
I don't think capital has any special attachment to real estate specifically. It's just that we have policies that essentially require your money to be invested into something (because inflation); and we turned real estate into a safe investment asset through policies that create perpetual scarcity.

You can probably come up with policies that penalize real estate investments, but (a) it will just cause the investors to chase some other asset class, instead of redistributing wealth; (b) unless scarcity is addressed, it's unlikely that housing prices are going to drop. Landlords extract profits from the assets they hold, but they don't cause there to be fewer homes or apartments available.
That's obvious. You can find news clips from the late 80's/early 90's where he is mouthing off about tariffs. That rut is eroded deep in his brain...
if tariffs are applied based on the date of departure and not the date of arrival you can definitely get away with falsifying the date. And on the off-chance you get caught you feign confusion on account of the rapidly fluctuating circumstances and the customs guy lets you just pay whatever you owe without sanction because he has a million other people saying the same thing and even if he can tell you're lying he really doesn't care anyways.

I have a friend who had to get something shipped from Australia to Germany via freight, he told me intercontinental freight shipping generally takes multiple months if you aren't Wal-Mart/Amazon and you aren't willing to pay out the ass for express handling.

>The foreign factory system is already in place for those that use it

ah but there's the small kernel of genius within the corncob that is trump's insanity: which foreign factories do you use and who will they take the shipment from and and wait fuck he just gave a 90-day extension less than a week in, will the factory let me have my money back if i cancel?
Even if we assume manufacturing does bring back high quality jobs: The people still have to leave their low quality jobs they are currently doing to fill those jobs. Which means the American people are going to have to give up something. Which probably means things like their Big Macs, with a return to home cooking like in the heyday of manufacturing.

A win from a health perspective, perhaps, but going back to the age where people didn't do anything other than spend all their free time maintaining their home life probably isn't what people are dreaming of.

Malaysian here. Uptalk is used more to turn a sentence into a suggestion. Something like "Hey, there's one dim sum left," to suggest that I'm taking this but you can challenge it. I could see why ChatGPT would adopt it. It's trying to be polite.

Often it's in a tonal particle, "One dim sum left meh." But it's possible in trying to artificially combine tone and text, the uptalk is moved up.

But the tell tones of a Malaysian accent is it's clipped. Instead of "I don't like that idea," it becomes "Don't like it." ChatGPT may be written American, so as an accent, it would sound closer to, "I- don't like, that idea."

And sentences often end in an elongated manner, "I wrote that is essay you wanted~". The elongated ends are quite common in many SEA accents as well, especially Thai.

Ok, that clarifies things: programmers who avoid reading the docs to guess, or follow the "Google search, stack overflow, paste in the first answer" cycle are mediocre programmers. If they don't want to be good programmers (which what the article is talking about), they can keep doing what they're doing.

You can't capture why in code. Your tests are a demonstration of the "what."

Those are federal services, that's not the same as UBI. The premise of UBI (in my limited understanding of it) is that, especially in more socialist countries, you can get rid of a lot of programs that support the poor / sick / etc in favor of a system where everyone gets the same amount, and the bureaucratic systems in place that check to make sure people are entitled to these benefits can be dissolved.

For example, I live in the Netherlands which according to Americans is a really socialist country; if you lose your job from getting fired, you are entitled to unemployment benefits. However, only if you prove you are actively looking for a different job, if you don't or can't prove that, you get shorted.

There's the dole (bijstand), but a lot of counties put a lot of conditions on there; some even told people to grab some tools and get to work on maintaining the public spaces as part of keeping their benefits. Which is employment, which should mean they get a contract and wage, worker's rights, etc.
Nope. Well maybe, if trumpism continues.

I’ve had a similar line of thought.. basically what you are proposing is sort of a voucher system. But, here is where my mind went, what if it is implemented as a bunch of tokens issued via a blockchain or even through a central authority. They can be freely traded if needed and prices can go up and down, but regardless of the price, there is a set number of them that get issued.

Similarly, you can get issued tokens/rewards for doing needed work.

I've learned through this process that as long as you get the data modeling basically right, everything else can be fixed as you proceed through testing your own work, from checking each little UI feature does what the code claims, all the way to end-to-end.

Imagine you can do massive refactors just by asking the model a few questions, what does that unlock?

The amount of money that has been floating around since 2020 has really exasperated the demand in the Rolex market. Dealers have been playing the "exclusive" game with customers pretending like stock is limited because of the popularity of the watches and the willingness for customers to pay above MSRP in the gray market. There has been a lot of talk recently on the web that this is starting to cool and the dealers will go back to selling to whoever wants to buy one.
East side bowery was very cheap back then (it was also a pretty rough part of town, which is easy to forget). You just need to convince a hoard of like minded folks to congregate somewhere cheap and you can live like this. There's plenty of cheap places to live in the US. I kind of feel like we need to learn how to build new cities, we have the land, it's mostly cheap, we just continue to choose to reside in expensive places chasing jobs that help us cover the rent while working us to death.

If you don't know what you're doing then stick to target date funds which automatically rebalance the asset mix to reduce risk as you approach retirement age. The fees might be slightly higher than index funds but on most retirement plans the extra cost is minuscule.
Some people think that basic income is the solution to the problem. I’m not sure. But I’m open to it. Maybe a basic income could serve as a transition for former millionaires and billionaires who didn’t have real jobs. Transitioning to a real job via a jobs program might not be in the cards for them considering their skillsets. But a basic income could help them transition over a few years.

But eventually they should try to find some kind of full-time, real job. Like the rest of us.
The Target Date funds often charge high fees. You pay for automation that you could do yourself.
