Eh, good point, it was a bit thin on content. I probably should have let sleeping dogs lie.

As for the other comments, I'm thinking I'm reading this quite differently than others. That's cool, that's why we have a voting system I guess.
A nice post. I think you will find Adam Smith in the fashion you described because Adam Smith ultimately sympathized with labor rather than capital, from my repeated readings of his works.

Perhaps it was his familiarity with the privileged sort combined with his Scottish naissance which rendered him thus, but likely that's only my own wishful thinking.
Yes. I've had such a job and that's exactly what happened.

Children need to learn discipline. School is where they learn.

Not sure why downvoted.

I had the same thing happen in college. When classes start at 3 I go to sleep at 8am.
"...but then, if that was true, couldn't we be scheduling half of the starts later in the day in order to stagger out the demand for buses even more optimally?"

"Paying for damage" seems working pretty well for national parks. Besides, the choice right now is not between paying and correcting, but between paying and not paying.

Perfect is the enemy of better.
I really, really tried to do that as a teen. I watched little or no tv anyway do that was easy and this was before the smart phone era so that wasn't an issue either. I would go to bed and lay in bed wide awake for hours, finally fall asleep, wake up, hit snooze seven times and drag in to class 20 minutes late. Looking back I honestly think I would have done much better in school and maybe even made it through college if I could have shifted my sleep schedule a few hours. I also firmly believe that that's really no one's problem but mine, so I'm not complaining, but my anecdotal experience suggests to me that some kids really would do better with later schedules a opposed to earlier bedtimes.
Thanks for the Feedback! Fixed. ;)
I had a Bio professor in college who lectured every day about climate change, yet drove 2 hours to and from work every day, through the mountains. I booked to class, every day, and he still made me nuts.

I asked him about this hypocrisy, which led to a lower grade in the class. Worth it.

I don't use css preprocessors and I build ui for really large applications. Funny thing is, developers will take my team's CSS, and abstract them into LESS files. But those compiled LESS files look exactly the CSS files we delivered.

Sometimes developers take DRY principle too far.

However, there are cases where CSS preprocessors make a lot of sense, such as when you have sites with themes, co-branding for clients where it's better to store attributes in variables.

Spaced repetition is more for remembering things. I've had good experience with it.
However, I don't think the methods used in this article are valid to test spaced repetition.
The test the author used are solving problems. Solving a problem require much more than recalling facts. Just because you remember something doesn't mean you understand it. In my opinion this is a very flawed experiment.
This discussion needs to happen because git is fundamentally flawed. There should be no way to change the history but at the same time you should be able to hide the immaterial commits. (Yes, bzr had this. I still mourn over the demise of bzr.)
I remember sitting with my father who was filing taxes, manually doing all the calculations and noting down the numbers in a spreadsheet like form. While finalizing, it took a two hour debugging session to find the mistaken calculation that had trickled down to the result.

The fact that now I don't even need to know the complexity of tax structure to file taxes let alone do calculations makes me wonder if people waste time because technology has enabled us to save so much of it.
> Your personal experience doesn't comport with the findings of sleep researchers. Later work or school start times correlate with increased sleep.

> To take your argument ad absurdum, if your job had started at 6pm, would you have gone to bed at 11am?

A lot of people that do shift work sleep and wake at odd hours. Also, during undergrad and grad school I tried to schedule nothing before ~2pm. I would sleep from 6am to 2pm. ... Not sure if any of this applies to high schoolers, though.
The Dublin/Pleasanton school situation is considerably better than in Fremont -- and always have been along with the rest of the 680 corridor bedroom communities.

Fremont schools are a very mixed bag and while they've improved recently thanks to gentrification they're not fantastic historically. There are still quite a few moderately poor schools mixed in the Fremont district.

Agreed. 1984 gets all the attention and is the first thing anyone thinks when they hear "Orwell" but I think Homage to Catalonia was a much more interesting book and explored political ideas at a much deeper level than 1984. Don't get me wrong, they both have a spot in my top 10, but sadly Homage is relatively unheard of in comparison while (imho) being a better book.

I was also surprised by the $/sqft figures for Orinda and Lafayette. I think there just aren't that many "for sale" samples within 1 mile of those stops. A lot of it is commercial, apartments, or open space.

Also, it says this data includes sales from the last six months, which exactly covers the low season for housing sales. I'd be very interested to see this again in September or October.

A semi-related factoid about Orinda: lowest % of passengers who get to/from the station by foot of any in the BART system.

Single page apps are definitely in the "lazy" category. If you send a page without content, that page is broken. You should be prioritizing the safety of your readers.

If developing proper pages is difficult with your develop0ment tools or methods, then you should find a different method - ideally something that handles the progressive enhancement for you.

Going a bit off topic here (since my kid is still in elementary), but I wish schools started later for more selfish reasons. Our kid naturally wakes up early but the Mrs. and I are night owls. We've been miserable since our kid started going to school. We've been trying to force ourselves to go to bed earlier than its natural to us, with varying degrees of success, but most weeks are spent half asleep most of the time because waking up at 7am just doesn't work for us. I can't wait for middle school when the kiddo will likely be old enough to wake up on her own, fix herself up and go catch the school bus.

I predict this will be a difficult sell, for the reasons pg outlined in "Why Nerds are Unpopular" (http://www.paulgraham.com/nerds.html):

> Now adults have no immediate use for teenagers. They would be in the way in an office. So they drop them off at school on their way to work, much as they might drop the dog off at a kennel if they were going away for the weekend.

Schools are government-subsidised daycare first, educational institutions second, which is the reason they often fail at teaching students but rarely fail at keeping them in place.

From that perspective, why would you change a child's school hours to anything less compatible with their parents' work hours? If anything, I would expect the trend to be towards longer hours at school, perhaps by more tightly integrating after-school activities.

The onion doesn't have a strongly-defined partisan political stance, but it overwhelming "punches up" rather than punching down- meaning the butt of the joke is a person or organization with more power than the audience.

To me, this point-of-view tends to look more progressive than conservative, but I might be overlaying my own biases.
So there's no way to communicate after being affected by this? Why is the world such a place of horror!

>First, historically, race was only firmly established as a legacy of the colonial era.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you saying a Roman in Africa didn't notice the guys around him had black skin?

>For example, in the colonial era, how was it decided in Louisiana if one man was black or not? The answer is, less than 1/32 of his ancestry must be of "black blood"[0]. This sort of thinking and arbitrary ruling is how race was established as a social construct.

This is non-responsive. You're talking about the legal response to race, which is irrelevant to the question of whether race actually exists.

In fact, you've written nothing that addresses the point. When a white guy and a black guy are walking down the street, do you have trouble when someone asks you to point out the white guy?
Well maybe you haven't found the one that was just right.... http://closecss.io/

We are 3 and I consider myself really good at css. Is a lack of need why I don't use them.

It's like when people use bootstrap for their grid system. I would rather define my own breakpoints and rules than be memorizing tons of classnames and defining divs so that the grid system works. I don't need them.

But I agree I would use them only to add automatically prefixes to my code or to lint them. Great post. I felt out of the loop for not feeling the need to use them.

No, and the website reported as such. I guess if you have no motion/orientation sensors of any kind it just guesses it's on a table.
You're probably better with a tape measure than I am. I'd have trouble putting a tape measure on my shoulders and positioning it in the right place — my shoulders are rounded, not angular. I'd probably screw up most of the other measurements as well, and I already have a tape measure. What about the ≈99.9%* of guys who don't? This sounds like a service for them.

Fair enough.

I think it really depends on your environment and the scale of your software. CSS preprocessors are trendy and hip right now and often get used with projects that are too small to really need them.

I hacked a little PHP into the stylesheet on my website so I could have some randomized colors.
Why did you bother having a child then? Really? You're excited until they wake up by themselves, get ready and go away? So what's the point of their life and yours intersecting? A few minutes after school to say 'hey' before they go off to do homework and sleep?

I appreciate that not everyone can do this, but my wife and I home school our daughter, and one of the very things we talk about is that we're glad we don't have to wake up earlier than our bodies need to get the child somewhere. That's not the main reason we home school, but it's a nice benefit.

Edit: I meant to add that the main reason we home school is to get to spend the most amount of time with her as we can. It's such a precious time and I wouldn't want to see her gone most of the day.
Sorry for the confusion.
Don't take this interpretation too serious. It just for fun ;)
Are you going to blow up as well?
Do the same complaints exist from thinkers/pholosophers of Asia? I feel like there is a substantial difference in thought from the Buddhists for instance, and the zen way of thinking that encourages people to accept who they are. This idea of self-improvement, which is what's at the bottom of all these critiques of the young being inattentive and distracted, is dismantled by people like Alan Watts who claims that the reason why you want to be better is the same reason why you aren't.

In essence, people like Watts want to tell you, or convince you, that there's nothing you can do to improve, you would already be that person if you had it in you. Now I'm not here to argue whether or not this view is correct nor am I interested in reading your anecdotes on how that can't be right. What I am interested in knowing is whether or not these complaints about distraction and inattention are uniquely Western. What do the Africans or the Asians say about this through the course of history?
Whenever I look seriously at Nix/NixOS, I also find myself looking at Guix.

Both are services which are used by a variety of people for both good and nefarious reasons. To paint TOR as the white knights of the internet is at best incredibly naive. There is a good reason that most mature security operations groups maintain blocklists of TOR exit nodes (in case it's not clear, that reason is the amount of alerts triggered by traffic from those nodes, relative to any other set of addresses).

Below is a direct quote from the article you have cited. It refutes your underlying premise, namely that cloudflare is in it for the money and doesn't care. The knee-jerk reaction that corporations take money for services, therefore they're evil, needs to die in fire.

This reads as rambling - for example, "I don’t feel the “problems” CSS preprocessors intend to solve are serious enough to warrant the cost, i.e. to me the solution is worse than the problem." doesn't really expound on this narrative.
jobu is spot on, but your conclusion doesn't follow.

The truth is that police generally favor body cameras because it protects their officers from an incredibly high volume of false or overblown claims. Here's one reference: https://www.policeone.com/police-products/body-cameras/artic...

And to pile on the point made by the link that jobu posted, Rialto, CA had similarly stunning results in their study: http://www.ci.calistoga.ca.us/home/showdocument?id=18839 - Big drops in both complaints and use of force. London Metro PD too.

> I mean, by your logic if the fund holds a public stock that doubled in the past month but the fund went down, then you'd have to mark down the public stock, in this case I'm using a public stock as we know exactly what its worth.

This is not my logic at all and it makes no sense. Why would the fund need to mark down public stock when the value of that stock is already explicitly known?

The fund's NAV is, by definition, a summation of the values of its holdings. The liquid holdings such as public stocks have clear values that are readily available. Thus any other change in the NAV of the fund would come from its illiquid investments, no?

I agree my comment wasn't exactly correct in that the NAV is a summation of the liquid asset values and estimates of the illiquid asset values, not the other way around as I perhaps implied. But what I mean is that the valuation process for illiquid assets is difficult and imprecise and the valuation committee will naturally tend to assume that the value of illiquid equities generally move with the rest of the market in the absence of other new information. It would take a strong conviction in your illiquid investments to say that they maintained their value while nearly all of the liquid investments lost 10%, 20%, etc.
