Scraping user-generated data should be made a legal right. It’s not like the companies paid for the data they collected from users, and the whole thing is anti-competitive as well, and hurts the economy.

The education system’s admission criteria is heavily correlated with the hiring criteria, even without taking the prestige of their degrees into the account.

Each “step” reduces an individual’s power in determining the outcome, and thus their responsibility and commitment. People also know some intuitive game theory; They won’t take an excessive burden for a shared prize, as that will ultimately

They might just use randomization, which is only statistically not where the user is. It’s the intuitive approach, and easy.

It’s not really about sacrificing people for the greater good. Negotiating has high externalities that include future murders. Like all externalities, the involved people don’t give a shit.

Game theory is more or less “plain strategy.”

You’re bullshitting, as evidenced by how hard China pushed against Trump’s changes. One doesn’t need to crush China to change its incentive gradient. Besides, worst case scenario, the non-Chinese countries can isolate their economies from C

You are asking the thieves to just take $200 when they can take more? Good dreams.

The problem isn’t with plaintext, but with lazy development and lock-in dark patterns. If you look at org-mode, it can do a lot of these things (perhaps even all of them on the GUI emacs), while keeping it plain-text. It, of course, needs t

Even opensource software doesn't usually do this because computing the directory sizes is expensive and they do not want to bother with caching/async.

Starting conditions are also heavily correlated with the qualities that lead to them, which are both culturally and genetically hereditable. There is also a chilling effect where even the people who have the qualities needed to succeed, jud

You can do some basic routing using the domain name or the IP via an advanced proxy, such as v2ray. Shadowrocket on iOS also supports this.

Indeed, a rebranding to that seems much saner. Perhaps they fear that such a change can't be forced upon the existing users, which is not an invalid concern either.

But these problems are also present in most other selection criteria? E.g., GRE is much easier if all your education and reading was in English. So I wonder if the real issue with IQ tests is actually that the elites can NOT game it as eas

> the hedonic treadmill is infinite It actually diminishes very quickly for most people, which I suspect is why they aren’t that motivated. Still true that being content with what you have can be a wise choice.

I wonder if it's more inherent than just culture. Women are more, for lack of a better word, desirable to men than vice versa. A man can value a woman who does nothing but exist. But a man needs something extra to provide some value to

There doesn't even need to be a difference. Platforms need to have a way to allow nested platforms, or we will lose a lot of economic output to the platform tax.
