That reminds me of a pet peeve of mine: Why are we assuming kids will learn about learning through osmosis?

Cognitive maps (or mental models) are part of that.

I struggled a lot with this, and other meta-learning topics. Got it eventually, after much independent reading and testing, but why was this never a topic in school? I'd have gladly sacrificed a year of schooling just to learn about it, and I'd have made it up within another.

It's also the reason why I no longer believe that intelligence is the most significant factor in our capacity to learn. The same course done by the same person may be finished within a decade, a year or a week, with the only difference lying in approach.

The difference is so striking that calling kids that fail at it dumb or the more politically correct challenged is lazy pedagogy. It shifts the issue onto something outside of our control. But I don't think it is. We can do a lot better.

And it may be due time for a new approach. We don't need a large populace educated enough to man machinery or a filing system, as they're starting to man itself. We need youth that is confident in its ability to stride across vast depths of knowledge without getting lost. And current processes of education seem ill engineered to that goal.

Like I said though, pet peeve of mine. I'm sure we'll figure it out.

Your vastly overstating things. All countries including the US already favor local industry's. Just look at the taxes on sugar.

PS: In a wider context, the benefits of free trade are overstated. Not all industries have equal long term benefits even if the short term looks great. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate_mining_in_Nauru

The problem of Nauru presents a paradox. The striking contrast is between a superficially happy state of affairs and an uncertain and indeed alarming future... But this picture of peace and well-being and security is deceptive. Indeed it is a false paradise. For these gentle people are dominated by the knowledge that the present happy state of affairs cannot continue. (1962)
You get problems like this, but with the amount of overlap in time the different versions provide, with regards to security updates, I'd say its far from unreasonable that one should be able to move over to the next version before stuff like this becomes a problem.

> "I'm feeling blue today, my serotonin must be low," etc. This drives me crazy. It's pure pseudoscience,

Yeah. I think it's a pseudoscience too. Even though 5HTP and St. John's Wort produce a 'happy feeling' to me and many others. It doesn't last. Even with modern day SSRIs and other depression meds, pill holidays are recommended. Pill holidays shows me that they are an imperfect solution. I would tell a person in a wheelchair to 'try and walk it off' for a few days/weeks. That's unfair to their illness, yet psych does that with their meds.

> but the reality is way more complex and nuanced.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Hopefully, we'll have a medical breakthrough in psych in the next 20 years. With all the investment, I'm optimistic.

As I like to bring up in these discussions, the old Ma Bell wasn't so wonderful. Until the government forced them to do otherwise, you couldn't even own any of the equipment within your own house. Yes, they provided very reliable and high quality telephone service--we've generally gone backwards in that regard--but at high cost, with few options, and at a slow rate of change.

There are (probably) natural monopolies. But the term can also just be used to limit competition.
Seatbelts and not impaling the drivers head in ford's case was voluntary, McNamara introducing it in 1955. Many car manufacturers provided seatbelts since the 50s. Seat belts were only made mandatory in the mid-60s for most countries, 1968 specifically for the USA.

Because of different service and intellectual property agreements between different subsidiaries of the company, the subsidiaries almost never generate substancial (accounting) profit.

IMO, that's perfectly fair. E.g. Apple isn't generating profit in the UK; it's generating sales in the UK (which are taxed as all sales are), but most of its profit was generated in the US (design, research, strategy, innovation, ...). I think it's a huge problem that the US doesn't force companies to pay tax on profits.
It's not a passive aggressive put down, it's just regular aggression with sarcasm. I straight up called it "extremely distasteful" in the prior comment.

You don't have to have the same point of view on this topic, just don't take a discussion of a recently dead person being officially mourned by the site owner as an opportunity to criticize that.

The Channel Islands and IoM are Crown Dependencies and not technically part of the main UK economy.

They live in a sweet constitutional loophole which gives them the right to set their own tax policies. Inevitably they're very different to those set by the British parliament for the mainland.

The British monarchy, which effectively administers them directly, through a small bureaucracy, apparently has no problem with this. Some of the population might have a problem with it, but it's never been allowed to become a political issue.

Much of the real - but unofficial - value of the UK economy comes from tax avoidance.

This partly explains why there's so much condescension here for manufacturing, software engineering, and start-ups: real entrepreneurs work in investment management, market trading, high-level deal-making and negotiation, and tax strategy.

They don't play with computers - that's something kids and engineers do.
"Symbol and definition lookup is another great feature of WebStorm. While Emacs can find symbols and definitions in a single file via Tern, ..."

Actually, tern has tern-find-definition which works not only in a single file. You can jump in to other modules in your project or to node_modules. And there is tern-pop-find-definition to return back. For methods of native js objects tern even opens browser with related MDN page.
But WebStorm way better in debugging, that's true.

It doesn't create much of a free rider problem at all, actually. Most tax money is spent on wealth transfers to old people (and non-workers to a lesser extent) and the DoD. These are not particularly useful for startups.

If a company headquartered in Singapore makes use of US labor (and implicitly our effective, but extremely overpriced schools), it pays a fair rate of taxation on it. It simply doesn't have to pay taxes to the US on profits from selling goods manufactured in the Philippines to citizens of Japan.

That's ultimately the reason for moving corporate registration overseas, and that's the reason my next corporation will probably be headquartered in Singapore. Global taxation is insane; it's taxing US corporations for services that other governments have already provided and taxed them for.

> I'm still pretty sure that calories-in/calories-out theory is more-or-less correct.

Unless someone has overturned the laws of thermodynamics, it is correct. CICO rules over all, and it's simple but not easy to lose weight, due as you put it to psychological factors.

As for the research about most people having the same metabolic rate, here's a link: http://examine.com/faq/does-metabolism-vary-between-two-peop...

TL;DR - almost all people of the same height and weight will be within 200-300Kcal of each other BMR wise. There are some outliers, but not enough to cover all the people claiming to be special snowflakes. And even if someone does have a "slow metabolism", that changes nothing: they still had to overeat to get fat. Mass doesn't come from nowhere.

Is it really? The vast majority of Prohibition era issues were relatively substance independent, and given that we've seen the EXACT same public response, political/buzzword currents surrounding the pro-prohibition movements, and emergent criminal enterprise, I think it's fair to say that "prohibition of *" is a reasonable class to abstract by.

(Watching Ken Burns "Prohibition" is something I'd strongly recommend to just about anyone, not only is it a fantastic documentary as par for the course for Burns, but it was a steady stream of "HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF" in such stark terms as you rarely see.)
(Not OP)

> In your hypothetical, companies have a strong incentive to start in countries that have strong infrastructure and services (safety nets to reduce risk for founders and early employees, higher-education to ensure a supply of educated workers, etc), then move to a low-tax jurisdiction once they are successful.

In this hypothetical, governement will know that a company will migrate away once it find a better one. This will be reflected in how gov't will charge. It will probably mean the end to "% of income" based taxes instead fixed taxes.

Think of government as a corporation providing some services because that what it will be once movement and /citizenship/ becomes easy. The people who stay (i.e. actual citizens) will play the role of shareholders and (hopefully) will be more critical of their goverment.
That horse has been beaten to death elsewhere. Go is [a] sweet language, don't get me wrong, but it is a mixed bag of extreme brilliance ('select') & head-scratching wtfs (OP).

Interfaces are hardly new. Go's novel take is the 'auto-morphism'[1] of types that (happen) to implement the function set aggregated in an interface. And this approach has its strengths and its weaknesses.

Of our 40 or so external dependencies (huge project), only a handful themselves have dependencies we needed to also vendor. Its sounds painful, but in practice it hasn't been. We actually stopped using godep, we were getting no reward for the hassle and added complexity.

Unless there is a bug, or new feature we needed, we often just update this stuff when we update the Go release we are using.

My thoughts; KISS until more complexity is actually needed.
An apparently metallic or luminous object in the sky at any time after the 1940s could possibly be explained away as experimental terrestrial craft but we have reports of such things going back much further in history.

It's funny how today many people call them "flying saucers" due to a misunderstanding of Kenneth Arnold's description of the objects that he claims to have seen in 1947 because more than 800 years ago, someone reported seeing what he described as a "flying earthenware vessel" in the sky over Edo(Tokyo) Japan.

People have been seeing things in the sky for a very long time. We simply don't know all of them are. Anyone who claims to know with absolute certainty what they are is just speculating. Chances are, that person just wants to sell you their book.

Math could be taught qualitatively.

First, one can give their students ten or so hairy problems where the goal is to write down what the problem is asking in the most explicit and gory details.

Then one can present another batch of hairy looking problems and ask the students what definitions/lemmas/theorems/corollaries look appropriate to apply to the problems and why?

Another batch of convoluted problems can be offered where the goal is to simply formulate one's questions regarding the problems in the most precise way one can. Asking the right, penetrating questions solves more than half the problem.

Ask the students to rewrite all the definitions/lemmas/theorems/corollaries presented in class in their own words.

Present students with a text full of unproven statements (most grad level math texts). The exercise here is to identify as many of these statements as possible. The bravest students are encouraged to supply proofs.

Give students a bunch of required problems peppered with generalizations and extensions of required concepts(typically reserved for big boy students) and ask them why they are required to solve these problems. What exactly to be gained out of solving every specific problem?

After all that students can tackle the required set of problems written up for them by the Department Of Serious Business. At this point math will come naked and explicit in front of one's eyes.

None of this is going to happen in classrooms, though. Students will have to learn these things on their own as per the traditions.
Hi everyone, CEO of Trippeo here. We just released our flight booking portal this morning where you can book flights (and track expenses) with Trippeo. We don't re-direct you to a 3rd party booking site - you search and booking directly with Trippeo. We have secured some pretty decent rates for North American flights and I welcome you to give it a try. You'll have to sign in to Trippeo to view the flight portal.
Yeah, I struggle to think of any good analogy that would help explain the problem. You could explain HTTP as like sending a postal letter where an attacker can intercept and read the letter undetected, reply back as if they were the receiver etc . but that's already pretty abstract. Drawing a real-world analogy with automated password attacks seems even harder.

I can't speak for MDMA, but I have experimented (ok, recreated) with psilocin (shrooms), 4-ACO-DMT, and DMT, which are all serotonin agonists.

The best I can describe it is that a high enough dose feels like putting your brain into debugging mode and then cycling through hundreds of circuits simultaneously. It's not so much "I am experiencing happy now" as "I am experiencing happy, sad, confused, interested, pulsating colors, fractals, childlike wonder, fear, and every other cognitive state simultaneously or in rapid succession."

Some people get very spiritual about it, but I think you kind of have to be a spiritually inclined person anyway to have that specific experience. I always saw it more of giving the hardware a good jolt and seeing what falls out. It's pretty common to go from laughing uncontrollably, to inconsolable sadness, and back again, fairly quickly. This is where a lot of the fear about "bad trips" comes from, but I've found you can manage that with practice and having experienced people tripping with you or babysitting.

I do think there are therapeutic benefits though. Even if there are difficult periods, I find I always felt happier, more ok with the world and open to new experiences and attitudes for up to weeks after words. The article briefly mentions how there's a hypothesis that depression is possibly an effect of individuals who "over learn" negative experiences and become fixated on negative outcomes, and this makes a lot of sense to me. Aside from a sort of "purging" feeling just from such intense bursts of emotions, I could see how it helped to kind of kick me out of the traps of negative and habitual thinking and emotions. Maybe it helped my neurons "relearn" there are other experiences, emotions, and modes of thinking that I can access too?

This is all anecdotal evidence though, gathered while under severe impairment, so take it with that caveat. I would bet that aside from the legal issues, the hardest part of investigating things like psychedelics in a scientific way is that every experience is inherently subjective and personal. Trying to describe and talk about them gets very squishy very quickly.

not true. these green cards are given (in addition to employment based GC requirements) based on the country of birth (to maintain diversity).

If US gives X green cards to nationals of Y countries (X>>Y) in a year, each country is allocated X/Y number of green cards.

This puts Indians, Chinese and other high population countries at a disadvantage.

An Indian applying for green card in EB-3 category (minimum qualifications being undergrad degree + 3 yrs experience i think) has to wait for ~12 years from the date his gc process was started.
EB-2 (advanced degree and/or 5+ yrs experience) is ~10 years (these are my ballpark numbers)

Its not the turnaround time, but the concept of diversity based green cards that slows down the process.
