<p>I should be the last one to defend the existing system.<p>But IMHO DEI answers the wrong question.<p>Worthwhile lives does not come from equal access to the hamster wheel.<p>I am much more pro UBI structures og negative taxation - which are inherently difficult to make descriminatory as there is no personal judgement of the people to receive it.</p>

<p>You could also say that DEI is easier to defend when human work was more valuable and capital was cheaper.</p>

<p>Yes, so you are elevating the probable to the possible.<p>This is like me saying that it is more productive to work using pen and paper because it is not prone to electric failures in thunderstorms.<p>It is right under a certain low probability event that I myself can define and you cannot refute it.</p>

<p>Back in the 2006 I did not have to login to my Windows machine, I also did have my configuration.<p>It is because you guys are entirely logged into a very small subset of systems.<p>You are apparently also not able to separate the different concerns of authentication and identification.<p>You could easily envision a system where you can ID without any auth.<p>You being narrow minded is not me gaslighting.</p>

<p>Arguably it is inherent to drug discovery that there are aspects of the process we don't understand - but we can conclude that a drug works.<p>So naturally, doctors should be much more welcoming to these types of inventions.<p>It is likely also a blind angle for mathematicians. Inherently they know exactly what goes on to whatever granularity they please. One of the benefits with not having to consider the real world.</p>

<p>You are paltering.<p>The premise was not to enhance security, but to design a world where security and productivity are not tradeoffs.</p>

<p>I would love to hear about a world where security and productivity are not counter acting forces.<p>For a start, most people would certainly be more productive if they hadn't had to authenticate themselves.<p>If you can just create a world for that simple case, then I will rest my case.</p>

<p>What does it mean to understand?<p>My own prediction is the opposite. I believe that a lot more humans will have a much deeper understanding of math, as you have llms to teach us.<p>However, this will only unlock if we get a hold of our own attention.</p>

<p>This "joke" usually comes up in discussions like this.<p>Though it is kind of wasted. Dihydrogen monoxide would be the chemical compound without any salts, minerals or other additives we normally get from water.<p>It would likely not be beneficial for you to drink it as opposed to water.</p>

<p>Ofcause you can!<p>You just ask the business to advertise a single price.<p>Naturally businesses pass on the cost of doing business, it is literally their job.<p>Pricing just needs to be transparent - this is a key requirement for an efficient market. And something the US is failing at miserably.</p>

<p>I said that the monthly payment is the same. Not that you pay the same amount towards your loan.<p>An optional extra payment is worth more when interest rates are higher.<p>Ie. An optional extra payment of 1000$ will pay your 150$ a year in saved interest when the rate is 15% and only 15$ when the rate is 1.5%.<p>Everything else being equal, optional payments has a higher value, which represent value to the buyer.</p>
