Doesn't this young person theoretically become older and less healthy as time passes? How many young people have six figures in taxes and not understand reciprocity?

Think in terms of salaries, health care expenses, etc, that was saved in the noble pursuit of freeing capital to optimize capital increase.

Dishonesty is at the core of Effective Altruism, which strangles a lot of the sensible choices Anthropic should be making. Although this feels more like, "anyone with socio-political edge worming their way in to suckle on the feed of imaginary printed money" more than anything.

Hey man, don't worry about it, this is an international forum, English can be difficult. You seem kind of like a more junior/early in your career guy so, I'm happy to help out and explain.

Covered in this case means that they don't have to pay some third party to take that risk for them, they can just get the ambulance as part of the nominal fee everyone pays per year or whatever.

When you outline a problem statement, you want to map out what the person outlining the specs really mean. It takes practice.

Well then not everyone is covered.
Avicebron
·kemarin·discuss
what happens to the people who don't pay someone to take that risk when they need an ambulance?
Avicebron

So everyone's covered unless you explicitly opt-out?

> Ambulance providers are chronically unprofitable businesses; margins are thin, crews are underpaid, and operators exit the industry every year.

TBF this does sound like every company run by PE that I've ever known.

> The most efficient way to fund ambulance services would simply be to pay for the option the way that options are normally paid for: with a premium, collected from everyone the service stands ready to rescue. That’s how it’s done in the rest of the rich world. Some places, like the United Kingdom or Japan, simply fund ambulance services directly out of taxes; others, like the Australian state of Victoria, sell memberships in “Ambulance Victoria,” with unlimited exercise at the cost of about $70 a year per family.

So there is a solution.

I'm sorry Dave, I can't remember how to do that.

If biology/biochem becomes the hot new field paying 6 figures after a boot camp will it remember?

I emailed my house rep (D) who voted for it anyway. Not sure if anyone else has or if it even matters..

That doesn't illegitimatize the concerns though? Besides data centers like AI are a proxy for a bigger debate about inequality, wealth concentration, power concentration etc. Trying to isolate it down to data centers or displace the blame on to foreign actors is really just doing their work for them.

It wouldn't work as well as a tactic if the concerns weren't legitimate..

They all think they are the CEOs and don't need to tell their managers because their "managers" are are diffuse group instead of one person who can hold their heels to the fire.

The fact that I thought that this was amp misspelled until i someone validate omp and the checked myself indicates it's a subjective assertion at best.

In all these places I imagine the people making these decisions are members of the populace. They need to be gently reminded that they are not more equal than others and people do not like their decision-making habits. The way anyone else engaging in anti-social behavior would be reprimanded.

I'm curious where I can go to see real regularpeople who support this, is there like a different side of reddit, comments section? I don't know anyone who is blatantly anti-privacy and I want to hear their reasoning. Otherwise this just seems to be the EU rolling into a weird distributed autocracy without anyone blinking an eye.

In before some dumbass tries to link the real wages/earnings graph from the St. Louis Fed. You're wrong. Go look at your made up graphs that reflect nothing somewhere else.

In the gentlest way possible you are responding to "he thinks he's Napolean" with minutia about troop movements in Austerlitz. But you do you lapcat, you do you.

I think you're reading my comment too literally. The concept of philosopher-king has moved beyond literal reading of Plato and into the broader concept of epistocracy.

Look up "Philosopher-King" from Plato. It explains a hell of a lot.
