sometimes I feel it works the opposite way: I feel recently (in the last 5 to 10 years), the people who know less clamour forcefully for simplistic solutions, and end up being liked more, and being more successful. They can sometimes appear stronger and more genuine than people who know more, and therefore have more doubts (the more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know...)
Thanks a lot for the recommendations, that's useful, I will definitely have a look at that.
I also definitely notice how the value of capital keeps increasing, while the value of labour stagnates. I think your advice about making money now is absolutely fair. I strongly dislike that this is the case (it feels like it's leading to a world with little meritocracy, and little improvements), but I guess, yeah, we have to accept the reality as it is.
Regarding why I am home-schooling, there are a lot of small reasons. I guess in a short summary, there was no school where my kid was happy within a 30 minutes drive radius, where I live. I am not against school at all (I have other kids at school), but we tried several in his case and that was a strong failure.

I am home-schooling my kid. He shares my interest in math and CS, and he's really good at it.I've been cheering him on a path towards academic success in these 2 fields. In parts because I am not much use at anything else, in parts because he likes it, in parts because that's where I found some measure of success in life.However, I can't go through a day without reading another article about...
But I am surprised that they are technically able to do that. My impression was that Apple had locked down this kind of things. Clearly not.
Any random ideas as to how they can technically fingerprint the device, and therefore how I could avoid it?
Located in Europe. I uninstalled the Uber app from an iPhone (thus erasing the app and all its documents) and restarted the iPhone. I then went to the website and deleted the account entirelyI wanted to double check that Uber had properly deleted the account. I reinstalled the app, which opens on the sign up page, and clickd at the bottom "Find my account".Suprise! (or not) Uber recalled...
This whole ego-inflated saga is mind-blowing to me. It feels like something is seriously wrong with our system.
Maybe this is the right idea : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36403974 Correlating profits to the Common Good... Definitely makes sense to me.
I think it might not concern a website hosted on github pages, but I wanted to confirm that with people more knowledgeable than me on the matter.
I need to build a simple website to share a project that I have, that evolves around advocating for some social change, and involves open source code.My initial thought was to use a simple website builder like Wix or squarespace, and include a forum plugin to try and create a community.The main reason I thought about this instead of wordpress is because I do not want the hassle of having to...
At work, I need to work with 3 laptops (3 mac book pros).My employer is happy to pay for whatever hardware or software to make it easier.What setup should I go for?I thought about the following options1) my current setup I simply have the 3 laptops sitting on the desk, and 1 screen. I move one laptop to the center of the desk, unplug the hdmi cable to the screen of the other laptop, and plug it...
I need to perform certain sensitive operations on my computer (access important bank account, sensitive passwords, etc). I currently have 1 mac, and my approach is to not install any closed source software.This approach is very limiting though, as there are many closed-source software that would greatly improve my productivity, and some are straight necessary for some of my business...
I feel the consumers deserve a large part of the responsibility. Too few people want to pay for quality news, or even simply give their attention to quality news.
Like everyone else, as I grow older, I have more and more responsibilities. So I started to use calendar apps on my phone, backed up via a cloud service.I have the uncomfortable feeling that this is not very "safe". I feel I can easily miss a notification, and miss an important task (e.g. filling tax).I am not clear exactly on what I should implement, but I have a feeling I should have a system...
