Interesting but not sure who this author is.

Also if the what you are describing is true then we prolly need more divergence than what we currently have.

I am also curious (this is specifically about USA) how effective these limiting of ownership expressions might be if bribery was not legally permitted (lobbying). Like for example imagine the policies and the quality of life of parents if there was a “National Association of Parents” that advocated for the masses. Think powerful like NRA but for parents and children. Call me an immigrant but it baffles me that people of this country don’t have something like this.

Why do people not share their salary information more openly when it is beneficial for them. Most people know that sharing would help them negotiate better and in some cases take away the extreme amount of leverage the employer has due to comp being secretive.

I will post this as a separate question to see what the hive mind thinks.

On a personal note. My partner is doing the same. Sadly this job is not viewed as a real job in most parts of the USA (where I live). It’s a damn shame. If anything it’s looked down upon by large swaths of the society.

Also saying that fair wages is a problem of parenting makes you seem quite disconnected with the reality of what the masses face. I think what you say is correct but only to a certain degree. Circumstances matter a lot and most of the time one may not have control over that. People come out of that kind of hardship should not fall victim to unfettered capitalism where low cost is attained any cost. Minimum mage protects against that. Keeping the minimum wage low artificially keeps cost of everything artificially low - including your wages that you get for possessing specialized knowledge (white collar jobs). This results in the middle class having a low quality of life non materialistically speaking. This is what’s going on in America. Over the quality of life from a material goods perspective is better than third world countries but softer/finer things of life - family,relations etc people have very little time for and is objectively worse than most other developed countries as people spend their time doing multiple jobs or side hustles in the hopes to escape the rat race for good. Very few succeed.

Sorry for the digression but just had to make the point about men being men

I will add that this will last a generation but no more. There are tons of companies make it work remotely note that these “old schoolers” once they are gone and replace buy gen z and gen z+1 will have a completely diff modus operandi. The only way this accelerates is the next google /apple / meta is a remote first company. This will unleash fully remote to the mainstream

One side of this is that startups are hard and demanding a lot of time and energy. Startups with other people’s money who are on a tight time frame to get a return on investment makes startups even more harder and even more demanding. Just by simple physics younger founders are better positioned to win on the demand vector. It’s about probabilities. Now an experienced founder who may have more obligations on their time and energy may still “win” on the demand vector but they have to skin the cat with some other ace up their sleeve that allows them to meet the time compressed demand needs of a startup.

So yea. It’s not about yc it’s about the whole system that thinks a certain way. Human psychology plays a big factor in this as these people in the funding side are no more “smarter” than the the average person and are hence susceptible to the same biases.

I say build something that people are willing to pay for and then bootstrap your way. If it’s a good product or service these same people will line up to you and you have the upper hand when taking their money which allows you to dictate your terms.

Profits over people have given us a lot as a society and I say that as a beneficiary of it as someone living in the states. I think it need to evolve to sustainable profit along with people, community and planet. We can’t and should not get rid of profit. But we need to preserve it by evolving.

Tipping wages keep things artificially low and sustain a system in which a certain class of people are perpetually exploited. I for one, as a resident of US can’t wait for it this to go away.

1) How do you use it on your mobile device? ( For Reads and Writes)

2) How is the performance on really large files -say 10k tiddlers?

However the problem with tiddlywiki is saving to the wiki is not straightforward and requires all kinds of hacks depending on what you are looking for. In today connected world you want you notes on your connected devices and it’s not straightforward or user friendly. I wish somebody would just take the Js library that powers tiddly wiki and add / fix these issue.

Singapore has solved this extremely effectively. Note that the solution is not just on demand pricing but also having good transportation infrastructure that actually is usable and is a viable alternative.

Bay Area has addressed it to some degree but I would not call it solved by any means. They have dynamic pricing which ensure you can pay to go faster during peak times. This is mostly a solution for rich people who can afford the $15-20 tolls one way on 101 but in a pinch the common person may be able to use by paying money. However the US just has no decent public transportation infrastructure that can be relied on a daily basis to live your life normally due to legalized bribery (lobbying) by the by the car companies during the earlier years.
