> the people of California and Florida want insurance so they can build matchbox houses in high risk disaster zones,
This has always been the case in Florida. Insurance simply costs more to compensate for risk. Flood insurance is separate in the US (and very costly).
California might have more to do with the regulatory and legal environment.
> now wildfires and hurricanes are way worse and getting even more worse.
What happened to the climate/weather distinction? So, every hot day and hurricane is evidence if the earth warming? Every cold day and blizzard is a temporary local weather event, not indicative of the long term trend?

"Make time to learn" and "make time to practice specific problems" are not at all the same thing; the conflation of grinding leetcode with growing understanding is a problem.

It's understanding something, even if it's not the job skills. Can you imagine someone who performs well at these kinds of challenges being a bad hire?

I've gotten way better at these problems from practice. Am I suddenly an amazing programmer as a result? I wish that were the case, but sadly I don't believe my job skills are improved at all.
That suggests we're measuring something fairly independent.

I think one thing that's better is it has a hard IQ floor that can only be compensated with a huge amount of memorization and practice, but that's a worthwhile skill on it's own.
I don't think anyone is arguing the owner (as an individual) is immoral. Denying the daughter that won't change anything, and teaching his daughter life skills is an even higher responsibility.
Rather, we are lamenting the inherent unfairness that is often overlooked or not acknowledged.
Exactly, this is uniquely a linux problem that these consumer facing operating systems were designed to avoid. In theory all Steam needs is a proton version "good enough" to emulate a handful of major eras of Windows programs.
The tax differences aren't that big, and they come with other nationalized services in addition to healthcare. Per capita healthcare costs in countries with nationalized healthcare can be 50% less than in the US. So you're getting much better value for your money when you pay taxes for that healthcare.
