IMO, practically speaking, payment processors are a much bigger headache than anything else. It's hard to end-run around them and run any kind of successful business. It's really weird how much power they have to play moral police

Here's some references I dug up. I've also read anecdotal reports about little girls and boys as young as 5 pointing at a sex education book (one that was banned in Florida) saying "my dad does this to me", here's o

Teachers that harass students have no business being teachers at all. To the extent this is systemic, if a kid is stuck with an abusive parent who decides to homeschool, they get to deal with that their entire childhood. You can fire bad te

It's not like the kids get one teacher their whole life, every kid going through the public school system will have dozens of teachers and the affect of any single good or bad teacher averages out. Could public schools be better? Yes,

It all comes back to race in America, ever since schools were desegregated. And because in America school funding is local, rich zip codes have good schools and poor zip codes have bad schools (to a reasonable approximation). Instead of fix

This is a very shallow understanding of "large city public schools" (is that a euphemism for something?). What you are taught is going to vary greatly depending on the teacher.

I'd be a lot more worried about the lack of sex education. That's often when a child first realizes they are being sexually abused.

Do you get mad at google for automatically detecting and removing spam from your email inbox? For a lot of people, probably the majority, speech by scoundrels falls somewhere in that realm... there is simply no debate to be had about the ba

Spam is an intractable problem for any so called free speech absolutist. One person's spam could be another person's desired message. But if a platform is overrun with spam, it becomes unusable for genuine discourse. Maybe the big

A lot of stuff behind the scenes is going on to batch and route queries to GPT-4 models that are in perturbed states already[1]. This isn't gross negligence, this is basic capitalism. If you want sole access to a GPT-4 MoE cluster star

I agree with your point that proselytizing is key. That and birth rates. Slight tangent: Even under the frame of animist religions, there is sometimes the notion that the more worshippers a god has (and the more devout), the more powerful t

Why are you prefixing bigotry with "fashionable"? Seems like a shibboleth. The only "fashionable" bigotry I can think of right now is anti-trans bigotry, but I don't see how that links to the rest of your statement.
