From 1947 to 1979, wages and productivity rose in tandem, driving broad-based prosperity. After 1980, productivity kept climbing while wages and compensation stalled. This disconnect defines the Great Regression, a period in which workers produce more but receive far less in return.

Ini dari uang pajak kita semua.
Kalo 1M bisa rebuild 1 sekolah, seharusnya 125M bisa dipake buat rebuild 125 sekolah di aceh, sumbar, sumut dibanding mendanai Ponpes yang nyata-nyata lalai dan seharusnya dihukum.
Tapi ini Indonesia bung. Akal sehat dan pejabat dijual terpisah.

Tech Bro's Sense of Smell: A Short Story in Three Acts
Act I
A woman posts a photo holding her English PhD thesis on the politics of smell (or the relationship between smell and power).
Tech bros left, right, and center troll her, trash her. Thousands of hateful, sexist comments.
This is a complete and utter waste of time and effort and money; literary studies is a fake academic field, they say.
Who even needs yet another PhD in English, they ask.
Act II
A white tech bro sees a photo of a hackathon with a bunch of young Indian men in the foreground.
"imagine the smell," he comments.
Indian tech bros criticize him. This is racist, they say.
We wash ourselves with water after pooping unlike you folks who use dry toilet paper. It's you who smells, they say.
They ask the white tech bro to apologize.
White tech bro says, this is a harmless joke, all hackathons smell. He says, he will not apologize, and asks others to be charitable with him.
Indian tech bros start leaving 1 star reviews for the app the company the white tech bro works at.
Act III
The white tech bros' boss is an Indian tech bro.
The Indian boss fires the white tech bro.
Epilogue
Now do you see how complex the relationship between smell and power is. That's why smart folks at top universities spend years trying to understand and explain this relationship.

prediction markets will replace buying stuff.
i want someone to bring kiwis to my house.
i make a prediction market about whether someone will deliver 4 kiwis to my doorstep and load $15 into "no". a guy with an ebike sees it and picks up some kiwis.
before dropping them off on my doorstep, he bets yes. he drops them off. the market resolves to "yes" and he gets $15.
rest in peace, amazon, doordash, ubereats, etc.

One thing they’ve done is highlight how retarded ‘Pro-American’ political speakers are
By replacing ‘Israel’ with ‘Somalia’ in their go-to Judaic phrases, the ‘Pro-Americans’ chimp out - “Why would we be subservient to a foreign nation?? Somalis do nothing for us and our tax money goes to their benefits!!”
You mean the exact same thing you do with Israel?

Last week our CISO asked me to present on “zero trust architecture.”
I don’t know what that means.
I make $340,000 a year.
I haven’t touched a firewall since Obama’s first term.
But I have a CISSP.
I passed by memorizing acronyms.
I still don’t know what half of them stand for.
I opened my presentation with “assume breach.”
Everyone nodded gravely.
I said “defense in depth” three times.
The board was captivated.
Then a junior analyst raised her hand.
She asked how we’d implement microsegmentation.
I felt a cold sweat.
I said, “Great question. Let’s take that offline.”
She persisted.
I said we should “leverage AI-driven solutions.”
She asked which ones.
I said, “The cloud-native ones.”
She looked confused.
I told her confusion was natural.
I said, “Security is a journey, not a destination.”
The CEO started clapping.
I don’t know why.
But others joined in.
The analyst stopped asking questions.
I ended with “security is everyone’s responsibility.”
This meant it was no one’s responsibility.
Especially not mine.
We got breached two weeks later.
I blamed the analyst for “creating a culture of doubt.”
She got put on a PIP.
I got promoted to VP.
Resilience isn’t about preventing failure.
It’s about surviving it.
Preferably while others don’t.

An employee gave us feedback last week.
He said, “We’re having too many meetings” and he can’t do deep work.
I agreed.
So starting this week, we’re cutting meetings down to just two.
One on Thursday.
One on Friday.
Each will be eight hours long.
It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you really listen to your employees.

A dynamic I have noticed:
A woman puts "Dr" in her profile name.
The incel says oh, that doesn't mean you know more than me.
A woman celebrates her PhD.
The incel writes a big, long think piece about how it's not really that impressive.
A woman tweets out a well-composed, erudite thought.
The incel says oh, you aren't some innovative genius, lady. You're a midwit at best.
But in almost every case, nearly without exception, the woman has not said she is impressive, or smarter than anybody else, or an innovative genius.
She has simply existed in public.
It is not her but OTHER people who've said some version of these things about her.
To the incel, this praise from others, which he deems to be richly undeserved, is counted as a moral flaw in the woman herself.
In being considered praiseworthy by others, she has transgressed
It does not occur to the incel that one can't control that others find ones actions praiseworthy.
It does not occur to the incel that the only way for the woman to stop others from praising her is to completely remove herself from the public sphere.
On second thought, maybe it does occur to the incel, which is why he says what he says.
Because he wants her to shrink away and disappear.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails. They're trying to change our habits, because all of the projections rely on people becoming truly dependent on the technology. Whether or not it's actually a good thing for society isn't considered to be a factor."
OpenAI is a loss-making monster, with new analysis that projects even IF it can hit $200bn revenue by 2030, it'll still need over $200bn in funding just to stay afloat.
Platforms are increasingly turning to debt to keep this gravy train going ...

elu duluan ya, kerja jadi buruh panen sawit! yang bener aja, back breaking low wage dijadikan aspirasi...
Typical "Jakarta supremacy" mindset. You’re assuming Indonesia is only Jakarta, so when Jakarta's job market is bad, you think the whole country is a fiasco.
Extremely out of touch, as usual. 🥱
Nope. There are parts of Indonesia that are booming, and that’s where you’ll find work. You will find better opportunities working at a smelter in North Maluku or in offshore mining in East Kalimantan or in palm oil plantation in Riau. Hell, there are even some opportunities in factories outside Jakarta, like in Karawang, Batang, or East Java.
Indonesia udah gak kayak jaman Orde Baru dimana yang tumbuh ekonominya cuman Jakarta dan daerah lain cuman pelengkap.
However, if your definition of employment is limited to a corporate job at SCBD area with a Coach lanyard, and Stanley tumbler, then yes, the job market is kaput.🤔
Gimana, minat jadi buruh panen sawit? Atau memang kurang bergengsi buat kelas menengah dan menengah atas kayak kamu?
Apakah aku harus mengucapkan, "Semoga seleksi alam segera terjadi?"
Anjay ternyata diproses juga... Ke mana-mana ngomong "raw" tapi masih diolah...

The system is set up to extract wealth from Millennials and Gen Z and give it to Boomers:
- NIMBY housing laws that make it impossible for first time homebuyers to afford a home.
- Student debt that can't be paid off or discharged, leading to permanent wage depression.
- State governments in unsustainable levels of debt to civil service pension funds while canceling those benefits for new hires. California pays an average of 102% of final earnings to retiring civil servants.
- Proposition 13 lets longtime homeowners pay significantly less property tax than new ones.
- Both Medicare and Social Security will not be fully funded starting in 2033.
- Politicians are terrified of calling this out because 9 out of 10 people who go to their town halls are Boomers. I talked to one US Congressman who said "coming out too hard against Boomers is an almost sure way to lose an election". They're happy to call out billionaires but terrified to call out Boomers.
Once you see it the first time, you see it everywhere.
Peter Thiel: If you graduated in 1970 with no student debt, compare that to the millennial experience: too many people go to college, they don’t learn anything, and they end up with incredibly burdensome debt. Student debt is a version of this generational conflict that I’ve talked about for a long time.
The rupture of the generational compact isn’t limited to student debt, either. I think you can reduce 80 percent of culture wars to questions of economics—like a libertarian or a Marxist would—and then you can reduce maybe 80 percent of economic questions to questions of real estate.
It’s extremely difficult these days for young people to become homeowners. If you have extremely strict zoning laws and restrictions on building more housing, it’s good for the boomers, whose properties keep going up in value, and terrible for the millennials. If you proletarianize the young people, you shouldn’t be surprised if they eventually become communist.”
