I consider ceasing to interpret my own survivor bias as skill instead of luck, getting over myself.

But the leap to going after the independent researchers is just bizarre. Do we have an obligation to stop if an institution suddenly prioritizes integrity and we don't know why?
For the consumer insurer its more like looking at a commission and guessing whether it will go up again as other market participants decide what to do.
A Regex, SQL, TLA, CSS and so on are all better DSLs than allowing a general purpose language because they are meant to restrict inputs of lower priority than other goals, where priorities are largely fixed.
A corporate DSL is meant to expand to whatever grandiose plans the company has for accepting impractical input from platinum customers.
Social Darwinism is a retroactive description of the colonial environment, not the religion that was used to tolerate it.
The religious model of racism is still very active today, I.e. see Louis Theroux visit with racists in South Africa.
There are race oriented people who want to divide things on race but are either inconsistent or their fears mean they understand that race does not limit capability and there are racist people who believe in inherent inferiority of races, the first tends toward social Darwinism the second to apply the justification "God gave us rule over the inherently more limited" to the "child" races. If you are standing in for a hellfire God where is the line on torture? If you are responsible for order delegated by God and can find normal human failings then you can run the plantation to your profit.
I really liked ReiserFS way back when but there are plenty of other FSes to choose from or choose to improve so there's little reason to deal with that baggage.
If they weren't allowed on sidewalks and parked in (repurposed) car spaces I'd be fine with them.
It seems to me like they are going to collectively lower standards of what they are offering, like Disney, and hope that this means some people will paradoxically buy all of their services to get enough good content, but that risks having a small market of people who buy everything and everyone else disengaging like in the premium cable TV days.
A renter from a co-op, etc doesn't have to do anything for lower rent, more rights, options, etc, than another renter in the same city.
It's interesting that the WARN ACT is not well written for WFH developments, but I don't know that that matters given that Amazon is considering people to have mandatory locations.
Such involved parents could never let anything happen arguments ignore how these things develop as less involved parents cargo cult. (You can't get much more blatant in a drop in actual involvement than the example in the article.)
These kinds of groups connecting themselves to actual home schooling will erode it by association.
This model isn't new and had problems before.
But this thread is celebrating marijuana use and binge drinking at all time highs in a demographic as a natural ramification of ending prohibition?
Naturally, one should hope that there is an explanation that means overall use is a better public health situation after the prohibition. I.e. increased alcohol use is among generations traumatized by prohibition and younger generations will choose better for themselves.
