Most these countries had decent literacy and industry/proto-industrial base before WW2 or before becoming independent states. Singapore itself was richer than Spain in 1960 and one of the richest cities in its region despite the slums.

There's no reason to think things would stabilize but even if things roughly stabilize in terms of population there's problems. When a certain region in a country gets a cluster of great companies or really any productive advantag

Makes sense the ones who can't tell that AI does a piss poor job at writing get bad grades. In a humanities track I can certainly see how going basically completely no AI should be an advantage. Even in a other tracks it should be bett

I thought for most universities it was because some schools didn't organise the tests and others did during COVID.

The problem with AI in an educational setting is when one is graded versus their students on things and things genuinely depend on those grades. Group projects also force those willing to do things without AI to go along with others in thei

And they will just get worse at writing anything by depending on it. Soon enough practically nobody will be able to write.

I think both have a similar amount of people who know about it. But it might just be my circle which is mostly in finance and some in engineering/medicine. These are also the type of people who actually invest. There's little doom

I doubt it's normally distributed, if you look at displays of altruism in general you got outliers who will give a lot more to charity, help more in volunteer work... but also many that don't do anything. Obviously that's not

I'm not sure if single child households have done this to parenting culture as much as neurotic culture/economic incentives have pushed single child households. When everyone is competing it makes sense to focus on one child as yo

The cheaper sheets in Ikea don't use linen or will use a blend. The ones which do tend to use flax do so with worse characteristics (shorter or uneven fibers). I'm not sure about Ikea in particular but cheaper sheets are more ofte

Not just bedding but clothing was costly. High quality bedding (as well as clothing) still costs quite a bit of money especially once you take into account you need 2 sets for rotation. A proper quality set will run you $1000-2500 and there

Even buses require you to have a minimum density to be in some way economical. There's also a shortage of bus drivers as it's an underpaid job dealing with awful people.

Makes sense why Anthropic wants to IPO as soon as possible as the growth right now comes from temporary wastefulness. Makes all the investments more risky.

Sadly commuters are the least price sensitive, any gas price which would be enough to convince people to stop using gas would justify buying an electric car. There's also not really an alternative in most American cities as the density

The part about immigration and Quebec is right though, doesn't mean the immigrants are to blame.

Digital scam economy is bigger than illegal drug industry and these (legal) companies are the kingpins. Better be mad at some immigrants than at companies allowing your grandma to be scammed.

Yes I dismiss it for those reasons. I don't think the book would've been nearly as successful without the Eichmann vehicle, the ideas presented were not novel. So when this part of the book is misleading I believe it shouldn'

There was significant repression on the Dutch language in Belgium not long ago. There was no Dutch university prior to 1930s and courts were solely in french for a long time.To this date there's still some Bruxellois who'll call y

There's barely any mines in Rwanda btw. DRC is closer to the later in terms of exports and I wouldn't say it's doing better.

I don't think the immigration policy has always been counter productive to American interests. The US has good institutions regardless of being reactionary and has many structural advantages (e.g. geology, size, good neighbours, climat

This has been done on purpose, look at the way governments all over pushed children to do STEM (or pretend to do STEM). The plan was never to get millions more genuine enthusiasts, this is impossible. It's just to create good enough wo

America was very much against immigrants between about 1925 and 1965. If you look at the history of the US they needed immigrants to settle the land, before their expansion westward they were quite against immigration.

I don't think anything similar can exist in the future. The reason the internet was good for a while is because before 2005 and especially before 2000 mostly intelligent and relatively wealthy people had influence. Once everyone gets a
