> Here, there has been a greater focus on kinship care and in-home aid (i.e. not removing the kids) primarily due to a shortage of foster parents.

That's good because children probably feel more comfortable around their family rather than complete strangers. Shouldn't the system be placing kids with kin regardless of the number of available foster parents?

> Probably more desirable to live in then even california.

Southern europe isn't california. The mediterranean isn't the pacific ocean.

> But it's also a highly-expected outcome of a field being actively researched!

But that's the point. It isn't "research". It's meaningless busy work to justify a paycheck.

> It's just to say that your comment falls hideously short as a potential way of spotting bad acting, so far short that it looks intentionally misleading.

I disagree. The guy was offering his honest opinion. Your comment comes off as someone working in the industry selfishly trying to justify your existence.

> but I'm also watching Polymatter videos which makes me a China bear.

Shouldn't base your worldview on silly youtube videos. What are the odds that grifters peddling youtube videos are experts on china, mrbeast, ikea, india, dennis rodman, etc?

These people just make videos targeted for their group of dumb masses in order to sell ads.

Just go to their youtube page and ask yourself what are the odds that the grifters running polymatter are experts on any of the topics they pumped videos out for? The answer is none. What they do is most likely analyze what types of garbage their subs may like and create garbage for these people.

You'd think HN would be the last place anyone would take polymatters seriously. But from the comments, many actually look to youtube grifters and outright propagandists ( zeihan ) to form their opinions.

"Then again, a pearl is a kind of pathology—or at least, a reaction to one. It’s the mollusk’s defense against an invader, whether it’s a speck of grit or a parasitic fluke. The mollusk enrobes its enemy slowly in layer after layer of gleaming nacre; the pearl becomes the invader’s tomb. From the centers of pearls, scientists have exhumed tiny crabs, tapeworms, snail shells—even, sometimes, entire fish. In this way, pearls have less in common with other precious gems and more in common with pimples—or with the gnarled galls that swell from the trunks of wasp-infested oaks."

So every pearl has a little creature entombed in the center? Wow, never expected that was how pearls were formed.

Don't care. It's a global publication. America sets the standard in english so use the standard. That goes for spelling 'favor/labor/etc' correctly.

Lots of sinners in tech and academia...

> Australia is an Anglo nation that thinks they're us.

No. Australians think they are british.

> We're a German nation that thinks we're British.

No. We are an anglo nation. We speaking german right now? Don't think so.

> The state we occupied doesn't exist anymore unless you think we're going to re-invade Germany and Japan from our bases there.

Re-invade? For what? We already are occupying them.

Yours is the most bizarre and nonsensical comment I've read in a while.

> Strange anybody today would want to repeat these stories.

If this triggers you that much, then you are not going to like the iliad, bible or much of human literature/art/etc.

> This is by design.

Partly due to a dominant market share. If there was more competition, they'd more about user experience.

No. He was working on the photoelectric effect because "the field" already existed. And he was working on it from a classical physics standpoint. What makes quantum physics revolutionary is it's non-classical nature. That's what einstein was against - quantum physics as we know it today. Einstein was a life long classic physicist. His relativity was grounded on classical physics. It's why many are working towards a quantum theory of gravity.

> looks over at Ukraine

What? It's only wrong for russia to occupy a foreign nation?

> Yes, I'm sure the Germans are eager to expel American troops right now.

If the germans were smart, they'd take this as an opportunity to liberate themselves. Besides what do they care? Trading one foreign master for another.

> The US and Germany are allies.

An ally doesn't firebomb a nation, murder thousands of innocent people and forcibly occupy it. Germany is a vassal.

> In fact, I believe “German” is the largest ancestry group in the US.

Who cares? We are not a german nation. We are an anglo nation. Germans don't have much political power in the US. If they did, we would have been allied with germany during ww2.

They are zero risk in that they are completely within our sphere of influence. Canada and Mexico are as zero risk as you can get from an american perspective.
