> Using authority to take power over their own children away from parents isn't something I'm sure I'm onboard with. Just in case you have not noticed, we do that nowadays, to combat child abuse. Giving parents 100% unrest

Meh ... PhD are super-specialized, which is great if that's what you are looking for, but may not be particularly good if not. For example, a person with a PhD in history will probably be a good writer and researcher, but may need a co

Yearly inflation seems to be going up mainly due to how it is calculated ... Monthly inflation seems to be going mostly sideways (although it has increased the last 3 months). There's not (yet) been a market crash ... If you look back

> This only solves the problem of the HUGE number of people with crushing loan debt now. That's a big problem solved. We can also solve other problems. Nothing requires us to solve all of them at the same time.

Private elite institutions (Yvies) offer excellent education, and networking with really rich people ;). Some people already had that, some will make economic use of it, and some not. I assume the variance within-group is very very high, so

Maybe ... I think IBM, for example did, and others might. OTOH, it may be easier and cheaper to make an agreement with their local community college. I think what makes the discussion hard is that people say 'college' and mean wil

Are you near a microcenter? They tend to have them, store only, and limit the number you can buy, so they don't all disappear.

Meh ... It's the top 10% at interviewing and moving, not necessarily the most productive 10%, right? Although they may be over-represented.

I think this is mostly asking how many angels can dance on the head of a pin ... What definitive evidence can we provide of an animal host now? What definitive evidence can we provide of a lab leak? Of a deliberate release? I don't thi

I may be wrong, but I don't think we need anything special to explain this, other than COVID. Covid came, the economy died. No travel, restaurants, theaters etc, plus work clothes, beauty products ... Now covid is less of a problem eve

Definitely do sicp eventually , but you don't have to start there ... the little schemer is an amazing intro, and htdp is a much easier way to start.

There is no evidence ivermectin works against COVID. There is still one large study running, I think, that might show a small effect, but definitely not a big effect. Sorry you had a severe issue with your vaccine.

But what would prevent Amazon/Walmart to raise wages even more? That is what they are doing now, right?

For now? Everyone, because they are saying the exact same thing, but people/media focus on one aspect. Current consensus is that vaccines are very effective, at least for 6 months, probably a year or more; however, chances are we will

Meh ... saying it is dangerous doesn't make it so. By saying it, you both get to piss on the 'woke' (which I assume this person is not), plus, if you happen to say any of the quiet parts out loud, you are somewhat protected

This is close to utilitarian ethics. The problem is that, taken to the extreme, it is easy to yield obviously wrong moral decisions. For example, if we define 'survive as long as possible' as having 1+ humans alive, we might decid

Up until a couple of years ago, they did get stock (Amazon doesn't give you options, but stock grants). Not sure if that ended when they made the salary $15. If by 'logistics' you mean the people who pack/ship etc, wareh

I'd modify that statement a little. If I'm in a position of power, I owe it to less-powerful people in my 'team' to protect them from bullies. In a work situation, I would expect my boss to 'defend' me, or at l
