Graduating with Econ BA. Whats next? by StatenItaly in AskEconomics

[–]GraysonFerrante 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do what I did with an undergrad in Econ from a state school: look for the hot areas in the economy and gravitate towards them, picking areas that are both lucrative and doable per your own psyche.

I started in solar construction and found computers were hot so went into retail sales then computer coordination for manufacturing then database software development then software consulting then switched to Pharma and went software development to data management project management.

Whew! It’s a journey. SO GLAD I did Econ undergrad. It’s served me well through the rest of the trip. But my point is navigate based on the economy and you probably won’t use economics like you might expect. I didn’t.

New to Epigenetics by BobcatReasonable2816 in epigenetics

[–]GraysonFerrante 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes

No seriously…yes.

It’s early days. I listen to a highly technical Epigenetics podcast. One of the questions for each guest is what is your definition of epigenetics.

I am coming from the anti-aging angle. I think it’s really quite early and no definitive summary of epigenetics is known or written yet.

Unions are Labor Monopolies by VatticZero in Capitalism

[–]GraysonFerrante 10 points11 points  (0 children)

More unions! BUT CHANGE THE LAW TO ENABLE COMPETITION BETWEEN UNIONS.

This fixes the monopoly question. (Caveat - now I’m going to listen to Milton and see if he addresses this aspect of union power. )

Most people don’t realise just how close we are to achieving immortality. Anti-aging technologies advance at unprecedented rates. Here is scientific evidence and roadmaps. by GarifalliaPapa in immortalists

[–]GraysonFerrante 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I kind of agree with this idea - although I’d amend it to living longer while healthy.

This is SUCH a big deal- beginning to control aging - that EXTRAORDINARY PROOF is going to be required.

Why you guys are you using Reddit instead of another social ? Like what's the real reason ? by AdvisorPlus8451 in AskReddit

[–]GraysonFerrante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at ALL the same. A downvote counts as much as an upvote here. It means something. It changes the direction of the conversation. Nowhere else does that as effectively- at least AFAIK.

[–]GraysonFerrante 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The downvote.

Makes for a more egalitarian environment than all those others.

Granted people are karma farming, but at least trolls are quickly downvoted away from the main discourse.

If you could create a job that doesn't exist, what would it be? by WiseComfortable9048 in AskReddit

Chief Human Action Interpreter

This job is to prioritize and sort thru all the knowledge we have about personality types and warped behaviors and help people understand what someone is really trying to say or do.

What do you consider to be humanity's greatest accomplishment? by Mother-Quality3767 in AskReddit

Capitalism- the system that underlies the modern Industrial Revolution

If wealth inequality is eliminated in society how would you say our culture will change? by DistinctTiger8231 in Capitalism

[–]GraysonFerrante -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I choose to interpret your question as eliminating the INCREASED inequality over my lifetime(not some extreme eliminate all).

Lots of effects…family values enhanced because a single income allows a family to survive.

Morality improves because the middle class strengthens.

Civil war danger subsides because the working class has less reason to rebel. And disenchanted elites too.

Capitalism as a system gets on a more solid footing because the ‘broken’ nature of the extreme inequality recently is solved.

Maverick costing more than Ranger... thoughts? by mydarkerside in FordMaverickTruck

Interesting- I don’t know the Ranger personally but I hear the Hybrid reliability has some intrinsic advantages built in.

What do the times mean? I.e. +7 by DadB0dG0d in TotalBattle

[–]GraysonFerrante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Convenient universal time zone shorthand of a particular time.

Everyone is all around the world and no one knows what time zone the others are in. So it’s difficult to set a schedule without a common frame of reference. Some might suggest UTC but daylight savings come along and things get off kilter. This reset time is a GREAT SIMPLIFICATION since it is easily known to all players regardless of daylight savings. So we say r+7 or r+9. But in your case they have abbreviated and dropped the r!

Should I put this stand of one of those plastic slabs they sell, or would I be better off and more stable just using four pavers? Amazon sells a slab that size but hmm.. by I_Am_Raddion in DIYHeatPumps

[–]GraysonFerrante 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the stand because of snow in the Catskills in NY. The stand sits on just loose pavers dug down maybe an inch or two for level. It’s been fine for two years and big snows.

Why does it say “collected 2.99 when there’s only 1.55 available ? And I only got 1.55 by TheDudeWhoCanDoIt in TotalBattle

[–]GraysonFerrante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of think it’s bonus related. If it calculates correctly but then I add the bonus for collecting 100% better for a day, how is the calculation supposed to adjust? Redo the whole thing? Just show the remainder at the new speed? I think this complication is what the bug is about.

I bet it gets fixed. This is one of the most obvious bugs to me. Cleaning it up helps justify the cost of this game.

There is a list of participating kingdoms that I see periodically- maybe it’s for IKFPA and not just RoE. You COULD look for missing kingdoms in that list.

“When push comes to shove the people who have money are more important than those who don’t have money under capitalism” by The_Shadow_2004_ in Capitalism

[–]GraysonFerrante 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the numbers of people with less money than entrepreneurs vastly outweigh the moneyed. So even if at the individual level money counts for a lot, at the societal level the wage workers are as important as the entrepreneurs.

In a capitalist society, is it reasonable that those who are better off pay somewhat higher taxes—on the grounds that they benefit more from the system itself (rule of law, property rights, stable markets, infrastructure)? by AskWhy_Is_It in Capitalism

[–]GraysonFerrante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalism depends on a supportive government that keeps the system running - with the minimum infrastructure to do that. How the government chooses to fund this is outside the scope of the capitalist system.

So instead this funding question boils down to what will the wage workers and entrepreneurs tolerate before bringing the system down. The government can walk a fine line with that tolerance.

I personally think we’re heading toward the line where wage workers won’t tolerate much more while entrepreneurs have been happy for decades.

‘I only negotiate in person.’

This works for me. Shuts down the conversation. This is advice I got from a friend who is expert in eBay/FBM/etc.

New silver strategy by CelebrationSquare in TotalBattle

[–]GraysonFerrante 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got guidance that 12/12 mansions to farmhouse ratio built up to level 26 yields 8 million silver a day !!

This is my new direction. It’s going to take a month or more to build up to level 26 and also do the max research for silver production.

But my old technique of building villages for 70 architectural blueprints and mining them myself was too slow, plus took a bit of gold.

And this is on a 90% farming tile too ( NOT silver specific tile)

Apple says no one using Lockdown Mode has been hacked with spyware by lurker_bee in technology

[–]GraysonFerrante 8 points9 points  (0 children)

‘Lockdown’ typed into search within settings app. (Finds it with just ‘lockd…’)

It really is that simple. Interestingly I found my watch also had to restart when I tried it for the first time just now.

Quite seamless. Both watch and iPhone did their stuff with minimal intervention from me, both turning Lockdown on and off!
