$47K for the degree itself leads to much larger debt if you're in the sizeable contingent of students that also needs to pay for things like a place to live and meals rather than relying on parents. You're paying $12K/year fo

The relevant market is Toronto. I agree if you look at markets like the entire US including major rural and suburban areas the story is quite different but I think what you've done is average a bunch of shrinking economies into the rap

I think the author underestimates how long he's financially hamstrung for. Yes he paid off the debt in a decade which is relatively impressive from a no degree job. But without that debt and with four extra years of work while he was

I think they would make the argument that the simple and wrong "boys are he, girls are she" is age-appropriate and "developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards". This is a bad bill that se

You still have a problem with people affording rent if you are buying rental properties at 128x average income. Rent is going to be an inconsequential portion of the interest on the mortgage if someone making average income or even 3x aver

Is it really so badly worded that you could complain about a teacher teaching he and she? That’s going to be fun when the trolls start filing lawsuits.

It has to but it won't. The central point of the essay is that in order to keep going up in the next 50 years like real estate has in the last 50 years, the average house has to reach prices that are 128X an average income by 2072. Wh

Labour can potentially provide some capital but the mechanism by which it has to do so in the socialist system would be the wildly impractical an equal amount from each labourer. Anything that causes investment to break one worker, one sha

How is investment in real estate going to outpace inflation when it comes up against the income barrier? I’d argue we are going to see that it won’t. The future isn’t like the past and when real estate gets too expensive for even the wealth

Resumes are mostly useless in tech. Juniors have too little of note to put on them and Seniors only need to demonstrate enough experience to get a tech screen given the severe shortage in talent. Filtering out someone because they didn’t pu

Retaining new grads is largely a function of companies being unwilling to recognize that when adjusted for experience salaries often increase 50% a year for new grads. HR departments often think 5% is a generous raise and the gap created ov

My how the goalposts have moved. Millionaires are the new proletariat. Socialism needs to borrow almost all of capitalism from capitalism. Fairly soon socialists will be advocating for (partial) investor ownership of the means of production

The problem with this is businesses require capital and you can’t expect labour to be able to provide it. A system that compensates the investment in business with nothing at all won’t get that investment in business. If we’re trying to use

Price-controlled labour market implies that price is actually a mechanism which is complicated to do if you’re operating on something akin to “from each according to ability and to each according to need”. Whatever system you use needs to s

I’ve always found these quotes a tad ridiculous. The two ways we’ve discovered to allocate jobs are labour markets and central planning. People arguing that capitalism is antithetical to freedom have to make the case that a government decid

There is a sense in which being poor is a direct result of an accumulation of choices made over one’s life to date. However these choices are not made in a vacuum and are often influenced by things beyond one’s control. When I was in Junior

I feel like the author read the autocorrelation result, hated it and ignored the central point. There are ways to bucket data that removes the autocorrelation and in those experiments we also see the DK effect disappear. Trying to argue th

Most search in modern projects isn’t things like date ranges though it’s often things like machine learnt mappings that identify similarity scores with words. Failing that it’s some sort of ML to learn tags and keyword matching on those tag

Excellent UIs for shrink wrap software. I think we can agree that the UI for Netflix or YouTube depends on content recommendation in ways that shrink wrap software doesn't. One person's engagement (addiction, triggering, controve

Fair but the parent comment referenced Facebook as an example and I think it's fair to say Facebook is rather dependant on content recommendation to the point where they wouldn't use the technology at all.

I think the risk of malice is extremely low. I have trouble imagining someone so selfish that they'd doom their child to this kind of horrible painful death because they were mad at them or wanted to get rid of them. Even if a parent
