The GP suggested that the reason immigrants have succeeded is because they knew to learn to open a bank account, ergo, if people in poverty wanted to learn to open a bank account then they would escape poverty. My point is that is not the

The disadvantageous behaviour you describe exists at every level. There’s wealthy families who couldn’t care less about any of the things you describe — most generational wealth is lost within a few generations! There’s also a selection bia

I completely agree with your skepticism but based on the description of the service I expect it to land on the good side. The problem with a lot of poverty focused charity is that it is, essentially, a payment to a vulnerable person to be d

Noya looks great, so this isn't a criticism of them, that said: > keeping design consistent from wireframe to mock-up to finished product is a challenge [...] this will allow me to mock-up exactly what I want and pass it off to dev

You’ve made no effort to explain why these things matter: you’ve just churned out numbers. I don’t want to read more numbers, I know many of the numbers. The value you can provide in this conversation is with your understanding of the issue

You’re absolutely cherry picking. You’re just using whichever numbers provide surface level confirmation of your latest point, without asking the questions about why. You did it with the suicide rate and now you’re doing it with death rates

There's so much I could say in response to your points, but you're too deeply entrenched in your position so I'm not going to spend any time on a response other than to say reliance upon the gender-based suicide success figur

You've fallen for recency bias. Just because you saw the article in the New York Times today, does not mean I read the same article and based my argument on that. I'm not sure if you're challenging the New York Times article

You're inventing a standard that doesn't exist, what is "actual proof"? Starting from the beginning: Binance aren't allowed to operate in the US. So, an independent company was created, which Binance licensed their

I don’t know if I’d describe it as disingenuous because perhaps the parent commenter sincerely believes what they said… …but it is a ridiculous comment. There’s dozens of examples where women are disadvantaged and mistreated by healthcare s

The point is that hand-wavey “market making” does not satisfy any need for a credible explanation. The “explanation” given by Li, to the CEO of the exchange is essentially, a complete lie. “Merit Peak” is not a vendor… it’s the CEO of Bin

The thing you want, low stakes low effort programming, doesn’t really exist. The reason Google can survive building everything themselves — and thus giving you and many others endless code to write — is because they have exceptionally deep

Yes, it’s very normal to have long notice periods. An employee absolutely can ignore their notice period if they want* but most respect them because they don’t want to burn bridges. Long notice periods are a companion to much greater worker

If you don’t already have relationships inside PayPal and you’re suspended, I don’t think you have much chance of finding an advocate from the outside. I can’t help, unfortunately. The best option for you would be to track down any PayPal e

You’re a genuine non-profit so you’re eligible for special PayPal rates amongst other things. Do you have an account manager or is this a PayPal account you set up self-service with no prior PayPal human interaction? Unfortunately, while po

There are different sales models, each optimising for different outcomes: self-serve is the easiest way to get the first dollar, but it has trade-offs. If you're unwilling to talk to sales upfront, you're probably not going to g

The Media is mostly just a bunch of journalists trying their best to write interesting enough stories to keep their jobs. The stories they're writing are typically a reflection of what they think people care about: in this case, people

I don't agree with that assessment. Passing luxury goods down from generation to generation is not common. The issue is much more with the immediate value of the product: the average luxury bag is used maybe a few times, likewise the c

You’re describing bad habits as if they’re a forgone conclusion. Repository-level separation between code makes certain bad habits impossible so a sloppy team will be more effective with many-repos because they physically can’t perform an

I'm unsure what you mean by "...all the styling disappeared from <a> tags..." so I can't confidently provide insight. My first thought was perhaps you're referring to the special `visited` state of an `a` elem

First principles is far from the best approach to learning. Learning is a means to an end: we learn to use tools so that we can use them. If a tool is built in such a way that I don’t need to understand the underlying technology then that’s

Tailwind is less dialect, more subset. If someone has zero pre-existing knowledge of HTML/CSS then something like Tailwind is, in my opinion, a much better introduction to styling web pages because it focuses on one dimension: determin

I think the most direct responsibility for the community level impact is with the people earning $200k+ who are irresponsibly exercising the power that income brings. For example, it’s so common for families making good money to do things l

Essentially, the power of money grows exponentially. A well-off tech person earning a few hundred thousand dollars per year has the financial power equivalent to dozens of minimum wage people. I agree that we’re now at the point where there

Success is a means to an end: success enables you to do the things you want to do that you couldn’t do otherwise. If the things you can do don’t require financial success, why does financial success matter? The author is apparently having a
