My only complaint with this article is that it seems to be implying kafka that linkedIn's problem couldn't have been solved with a bunch of off-the-shelf tools.

Those things are usually rentals here in Florida. HOAs are a real problem here due to the legal protection they have. They can literally take your house because your mailbox is blue.
Maybe just take away that protection? Where I live nobody is losing a house for having the wrong color mailbox, but there are certain historical protected areas where beauty is an externality — you can’t demolish a historic house in the middle of the beautiful downtown

University tuition is a known example of an extreme inflation outlier. The cause is also known: The availability of loan dollars and the laws preventing their discharge in bankruptcy.
Tuition figures are also misleading because almost nobody pays that number. The tuition number is the maximum possible amount someone could pay without financial assistance, but when you look at the numbers you would be surprised to see that often 80% or more of students have some financial assistance. At many universities now, students with families below certain income levels have tuition adjusted down to $0.
You can’t judge university prices by the number on the website any more.
My point is that it's part of the standard basket and the rate they allegedly calculated for its growth didn't match up to lived experience.

Over the years I have read a few articles or blogs that make the argument that if government inflation figures in the US were calculated as they do in Europe, then our reported US inflation figures would be much higher. Can anyone here verify this?
Our main problems involve under the table unreported to the public military expenditures. If you look at a map of our military bases, we have many bordering China. I think our total number is close to 900. Those costs are a bleeding hemorage to the middle class tax payer who aren’t getting a cut of military profiteering because they don’t own ‘defense’ stocks.
Consumer debt is almost as much of a worry as government debt.
Eventually countries that don't spend most of their treasure on their military will win. There has to be a balance between true defense spending and healthy spending like feeding and educating children, infrastructure, R&D that helps society, etc.
I can't speak to this, but I suspect something is afoot.
I know my mom went to a university that she paid for with a part-time job while a student. Currently that university's tuition is 80,000 a year. When I looked at what inflation figures said for college education, it wasn't enough to account for that 10x+ increase.

Um…Is any one of note in public still talking about that? Way way out of the news cycle now.
Really? I saw news about it just today.
It's never dropped of my news, from him moving Maxwell to a minimum security prison, to questions about whether he'll pardon her, to the signed letter with illustrations he wrote for Epstein's birthday.
I don't think the world will ever forget, certainly my social circles and social media are still buzzing with it.
In many ways it's more damning than watergate, though people are debating whether to call it Epsteingate or Pedogate.
He'll do anything to distract from epstein.

It’s so unbelievably straightforward and useful. It’s unfortunate that I discovered it after learning everything the hard way.
Wow, after reading the various pages on this link for ~20m+
I have to agree this is one of the best resources I've ever encountered.
To keep things simple, "activity is better for cognition". It doesn't have to be outside. Let's start with just promoting any activity...
There's already well-known studies showing that doing physical activity _before_ the school day starts, and then having the most challenging/cognition intense classes first, following the physical activity, boosts learning.
See the book Spark[1] to learn more.
These charts show that the outdoor exercise is better than twice as good as indoors in several respects.
You don’t need push, it’s just a performance optimization that almost never justifies using a whole new tool.
