I largely agree with you. But the following line from the article is devastating, "For a lot of children, when they’re 8 years old, it’s too late." And this mawkish line is published under the banner of Stanford, an arbiter of the

I meant the claim that "People on NPR are specifically being paid to advance these viewpoints." I would expect that's difficult to support. Aside from, perhaps, guests that are funded by think tanks. Or, I suppose, even profe

The credibility of the article is undermined by hyperbolic statements such as, "For a lot of children, when they’re 8 years old, it’s too late. If your parents aren’t engaged in the education system, in 10 years you’ll be competing in

“I want to believe.” Do you have any evidence for that bold claim?

The elevator question is deceptively difficult and I find there aren't any decent answers to it on the internet. People have devoted phd papers to this topic. And there are sparse Leetcode discussions on this subject.

Sam Altman advises against this. He said something along the lines of, the people who hedge their careers end up with nothing. For example, if someone wants to start a rocketship company and they tell themselves they'll spend 15 years

Steven Crowder is a comedian -- granted I'm not that familiar with his podcast. So we're going to ban all accounts or at the very least demonetize all accounts who use synonyms for various sexual orientations now? Are we that deli

He has covered these issues with more detail and nuance. For example, see his recent two hour interview on the Joe Rogan podcast. The point is achieving happiness. He's quite philosophical about this, give his material a try.

Coinbase banning Milo is much worse. They have no reason to ban him. Now that they’ve banned him, they’re worse than say PayPal or the banks. This is a betrayal of the community’s founding principles.

That is sound advice for a limited amount of time, as you said ten years. The risk is that before you know it you find yourself with a "fully-funded" retirement account, a stable career, and your vitality gone with your life now b

Your political records alone could land you in trouble in the near future. Roger Scruton lays this out elegantly in a lecture at Oxford: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUbfMQ91Mps#t=37m Initially Barack Obama was in favor

Now that privacy is gone, I'm surprised that we haven't seen this technology used to unfortunately tarnish people's reputations. I don't want to quite spell it out. I fear that scandals could retroactively breakout: you&

"The restored republic recognised citizenship only for the pre-occupation citizens" You do recognize that the Russians invaded their land, killed their people, and occupied their houses, right? If that is granted, surely you recog

Are you concerned about potential long term side effects of the drug? Like MDMA, which has also garnered attention from researchers for potential medical benefits, I was under the impression K had nontrivial neurotoxic potential if abused.

Written language works a little different than programming: the references can be a little looser, a little more imprecise -- particularly if the vehicle is a written comment on a message board. I was attempting to quickly outline an attitu

I'm pointing out a curious trait of the tech industry as a whole -- the ethos of the community. Whether or not the names listed currently work as software engineers, or whether or not they all have autism, is inconsequential.

Software engineers aren't thugs, you're right that they're often soft-spoken and polite -- but they also do not have a history of respecting tradition and laws they view burdensome. For example, look at the startups, Uber and

How is the detail "15 visits to a cryogenic chamber carried out daily from Monday to Friday" to be interpreted? They did 15 cyrotherapy sessions total, at a rate of 3 a day?

At $140k you would struggle to afford real estate in the major US cities. Sure, it's enough for a single male with few hobbies to live in a studio apartment and eat fast food whenever he wants, ignoring the prospects of retirement and
