That’s wild. I wonder what that means in terms of aggregate labor capacity when that much of it is idled. I assume that this burden mainly falls on women and children to maintain households afloat.

Edit: I meant for El Salvador. I know about US prison labor and convict leasing

I guess it depends on the decaffeination method but it might be worth some experimentation to find the right variety.

with any habit change, the less you have to think about it the easier it will be to make the change and to maintain it. Some hard limits can be good and have worked for me like no coffee after 12pm or limit the portion size to 1 espresso or 1 doppio but no more for each serving or only 2 servings per day, etc. I do think that at some level we are fundamentally lazy in the sense that it is easier to do nothing than it is to do something and it is easier to do something small than it is to do something big. That's where smaller portions and adding steps to preparation (like storing the coffee less conveniently or do not grind more than you want at any moment even if you know you'll immediately want more) can add friction to the coffee consumption process but also smaller changes are easier to adapt to and carryforward.

How much coffee are you drinking? You can try reducing the portions so that your routine remains then later reducing the frequency. You could also sub some of the regular with decaf in increasing ratios like 75/25 then 50/50 then 25/75

When I was Copenhagen I saw that the historic city hall was flying the Ukrainian flag but would that be prohibited if that law forbidding foreign flags passes?

The probe covers 2016-2024 Model S and X vehicles with the optional system as well as 2017-2024 Model 3, 2020-2024 Model Y, and 2023-2024 Cybertruck vehicles.

Tesla's "camera-only" approach to partially and fully autonomous driving systems, some industry experts have said, could cause issues in low-visibility conditions as the vehicles do not have a set of back-up sensors.

"Weather conditions can impact the camera's ability to see things and I think the regulatory environment will certainly weigh in on this," said Jeff Schuster, vice president at GlobalData.

I remember reading or watching something that I can no longer find about how US public education creates a false economy for its students by its use of numeric grades which they accumulate throughout their schooling and how these grades are a kind of currency exchanged for being "good students."

I don't know if "false economy" is the correct term though. The wiki says:

a false economy or hallucinated economy is an action that does save money at the beginning but which, over a longer period of time, results in more money being spent or wasted than being saved.

But this is more about economizing as opposed to a broader concept of "fake" economy with a fake currency that incentivizes certain behaviors over others. Perhaps these are short-term over long-term behaviors (like in the wiki above) or that the grades can only measure limited aspects of students performance but are a reification of subjective performance into absolute worth or like Goodhart's law the grades are a key performance indicator (KPI) and don't actually measure what they should be measuring. The topic itself isn't strictly about education and can applied more broadly.

Does anyone know if there is a better term or if I'm off base and completely wrong?
