edit: on video it looks like 100k, but not 1m.

>>The media only ever amplifies what it finds

You mean likes: the media only ever amplifies what it likes and wants more of. There's like 1m people at the pro-life march each year that get zero press.

Men in prison are also massively stronger and build shanks out of everything. If you do have a fight break out, hopefully its segregated by sex, otherwise the woman has no chance in the supermajority case.

They love cancelling people. [1]

What is the state of 401k fees? Is it 1% AUM? The PBS doc "The Retirement Gamble" made 401ks look horrible.

===

Making some reasonable assumptions about a worker with 30 years to retirement, the 1980 version of the 401(k) tax deferral was equivalent to an additional investment return of 9.2% per year, an extraordinary incentive to save for retirement, even without an employer match. Using today’s numbers the benefit comes out to 0.6%, considerably less than the 1% to 2% in fees investors pay in typical 401(k) plans. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-07-21/401-k-...

>>or 52,255 hours of watching Youtube

1 billion hours of YouTube are watched per day... so Bitcoin is ~20,000x greener than YouTube consumption?

Simultaneously shouting 'just build your own platform' and 'there is no censorship' is a neat trick.

American cities are not that great, crime is way up in my area (Minneapolis). I want to live in Tokyo. Can afford a house, don't need to own a car, can walk everywhere, kids can take public transit and no one bats an eye, low crime. I guess I should move and stop dreaming.

Block the site for a while and go make a pizza from scratch, go skiing, or do something outside. The arguments don't change from one deplatforming thread to another, you won't miss anything.

That phenomenon is called counter-signaling, which I first ran into listening to Dan Jurafsky making the point that if a menu uses the word "fresh", its a low-brow restaurant. A high-brow restaurant would never use the word "fresh" -- the freshness is implicit in the other signals.

"People of average education show off the studied regularity of their script, but the well educated often scribble illegibly. Mediocre students answer a teacher’s easy questions, but the best students are embarrassed to prove their knowledge of trivial points. Acquaintances show their good intentions by politely ignoring one’s flaws, while close friends show intimacy by teasingly highlighting them. People of moderate ability seek formal credentials to impress employers and society, but the talented often downplay their credentials even if they have bothered to obtain them. A person of average reputation defensively refutes accusations against his character, while a highly respected person finds it demeaning to dignify accusations with a response."

The set of topics that gets you de-platformed (or financially de-platformed) is increasing.

>>curious why this is so.

I think because real estate investors have enough capital to take over cool areas.

A stark counterexample is Japan where you can own a freestanding house in a dense urban environment near public transit for $300k -- what would that cost you in London, NYC, Berlin? It seems like Japan is one of the few major cities where you could have a large family (or large studio) and live an urban life -- everywhere else you are stuck with a 2BR or 3BR apt (if your rich).

If you've abandoned chess.com for lichess.org, you might be surprised to learn that chess.com now hosts 15 variants.

High quality creators have largely abandoned text/open-web in favor of video, ergo YouTube channels for interesting stuff.

OLED, ColorVeil, nightmode

USD isn't that great because there's so much counterfeiting

That's why the acronym STEM was invented, to separate college that makes you poorer from college that might make you better off.

Bram Cohen's chia would disagree with you. Something to keep your eye on.

That website looks pretty bad. Cato Institute is an example of newspaper/magazine on the web done well

I think the lithium supply chain news is more interesting, before (Australia->China->Japan->California) now (Virginia-> Texas)

Losing weight/maintaining proper weight (without being miserable, eg not juice dieting), meeting people (since your high school/college friends will move away), good posture/technique (don't get carpal tunnel), the importance of stretching.

whoops... meant retraction

It from the fake hate crime playbook; outrage on page 1, redaction on page 14.

Content creators don't want to leave the platform because they profit via ad-revenue, monthly subscriptions and superchats.

Sounds like a sociology assignment/project to query bias in the tech sector

I think there some use cases for internal business apps, eg create some UI elements, open a websocket, write to database, and provide an icon on the mobile home screen. In terms of general apps, the major problems are lack of Safari support (push notifications for example) and access to the hardware/OS level stuff (like can I get the phone number of this phone without a Native App? Can I auto-focus the camera? Can I get the contacts? No, no, no you can't)
