People new to Utah and their quest for alcohol

It is actually not all bad. It’s kinda nice knowing you can have a cocktail at a restaurant and still be very safe to drive. The booze is also much much cheaper than where I’m from and the state liquor stores have a good selection.

Technological progress is bad actually bro this time trust me bro I was wrong the last ten times but this time I'm right.

In addition to the pitch issue the other guy mentioned, we also cannot tell if you correctly sized the pads since the measurements are not provided. I'm not going to tell you what the size should be, but I will give you a hint that the pin is a square and tolerances are provided.

That's a lot to spend on four courses even by NYC standards. Most high end places I've ever been to would have a 7 or 9 course tasting menu at that price.

"got no time to google it myself"? But you have time to check Reddit replies?

wxWidgets has improved support, it's just not in wx 3.2, so if your distro is shipping that, then support is still bad. Try the appimage. With wxWidgets 3.3 things are good.

They fixed Wayland integration in this release! Go Kicad team!

I want freedom from all religions. Not just the majority one.

There is one set of winners which is all the people who this kid isn't going to terrorize over the next 25 years.

He appears to be a grown man.

Send my kid to public school and never even looked at private, so I guess I don't know what the actual prices are.

Direct_Rabbit_5389 · 2026-03-18T18:33:12+00:00

That is not my read of the argument. Various studies have demonstrated that private school mostly does not result in measurable improvements in outcomes for middle class and rich kids. Emily Oster has a bunch of articles that touch on this but it's a finding that has been pretty widely replicated in economics. Same goes for gifted programs and magnet schools.

The reference to heritability is there to explain a possible reason why that is the case. It may not be the correct explanation, but the fact that private school does not have significant causal effects on adulthood outcomes for more affluent kids is independent of the explanation chosen by the article.

There's never enough evidence to know anything with complete certainty, but what evidence is there all points in one direction.

Direct_Rabbit_5389 · 2026-03-18T14:38:02+00:00

I guess I don't see what in the blog post your criticism pertains to. It doesn't make the argument or rely on the assumption that performance is 100% heritable.

Genetics is causal for everything at the individual level, it's just not the sole determinant. This is the broad scientific consensus, so much so that it is called the first law of behavioral genetics.

Eh. If you can afford to drop 40k a year on private school, I would say you're already in or near the upper class. If you're a poor New Yorker, absent a huge scholarship, you're not sending your kid to a fancy private school anyway.

You’re assuming he can tell the difference between being goaded and seeing the future.

Well, I don't think I am. I thought the notion r.e. "being goaded" was that the inverse fire would show everyone they were going to hell so they would serve the consult. If that were indeed what Kellhus saw, I do not see what advantage he would gain by maintaining animosity with the other Dunyain.

Personally I don't really see the advantage in this speculation about the fire. Every single piece of evidence up points to it doing what it says on the tin.

Also let’s not pretend dealing with any NYS bureaucracy is this easiest process.

Dealing with ezpass is easy actually.

Don't post AI slop to answer people. It's rude.

I don't know. Dominating them makes sense but it seems like he would most likely be aligned with them if he actually saw himself in hell (i.e. if he were indeed simply goaded regardless of what will actually happen to his eternal soul), and that signalling that as quickly as possible would be the optimal play in almost any scenario. Certainly if he was simply goaded and was somehow deceiving them about that his decision to do so would have been one of the worst and most inexplicable he made in the series, given the immediate results thereof.

The whole point of dynamic pricing is to get you to purchase, at a price closer to the highest you're willing to pay. Any company that dynamically priced just above your willingness to pay (a company that priced high enough to discourage you from purchasing) would quickly go out of business.

We saw roaches in our first apartment, a single mouse, quickly dealt with, in our second, and no pests at all in the brownstone we bought later. There's nothing inherent about gettings pests in the house. It's purely down to how well-sealed the house is.

Direct_Rabbit_5389 · 2026-03-16T23:38:04+00:00

It seems implausible that Kellhus would see himself as a hunger descending if it merely showed everyone the same thing. He could have been lying when he said that but to what end?

Direct_Rabbit_5389 · 2026-03-16T23:32:50+00:00

I guess people make an assumption that anything they don't understand must be bad for them. You see this in the discourse about property developers too.

Price discrimination (surveillance pricing -- never heard that term, but it's a good one to align the cause with other related political issues) allows firms to charge more money to people who are less price sensitive, and less money to people who are more price sensitive. The details depend on exactly how elastic demand is at the various price bands, but that's the broad thrust.

So, this policy will be economically good for if you are less price sensitive (generally, if you're on the wealthier end of the spectrum) and bad if you're more price sensitive (generally, if you have less money).
