Actually that's what made Sex at Dawn so interesting, they explore a number of hunter-gatherer societies (Amazon, Africa, China . . . ) and they are predominantly non-monogamous. They might have the concept of marriage, but often it won't be something that is recognizable when compared to the typical modern view. I.e. the marriage ceremony includes having sex with all of the men in the village.

They go on to make a very strong argument about the similarity between us and Bonobos. As I said before, I'm not sure I buy everything but they made a very strong argument.

And yeah, monogamy almost never occurs in nature. Even penguins who are supposedly monogamous only stick together long enough to have kids, then they rejoin the dating pool.
I used to love editing Wikipedia to the point of obsession, but after going through a grueling process of defending an article from deletion I decided I had better things to do with my life. The subject of the article in question was the author of at least half a dozen highly influential books in his field, the subject of a biography published by a mainstream publisher, cited in publications by his peers probably hundreds if not thousands of times over the past thirty years, interviewed and quoted in mainstream media around the world etc etc etc. Unfortunately there was a clique of editors who didn't like his ideas. Essentially they thought he was a quack and therefore couldn't stand the idea that he'd be given exposure in Wikipedia. I have no opinion on whether he's a quack and it really has nothing whatsoever to do with his notability. Eventually I was able to establish that the guy is influential and the article is still there, but the stupidity of having to endlessly argue the point made me say to hell with it and I haven't edited anything since.
I don't necessarily disagree, but the premise of the parent post was that this was simply a spending/budget problem.

Spending per pupil has risen every year over the last 20 in Milwaukee and performance & outcomes have dropped dramatically. Logic dictates that there are many other forces in play.

This is so silly. There's a feynman quote where he was talking about how at MIT they had this really fancy test facility, but it never produced any results, because the people running the tests were in another room an never saw anything happen.

Then at Princeton, where they were in the same room, the machine (which was much less fancy) produced much more information because people saw what was going on as it was running.

Seems to me that this could easily be something of the case. Fancy test facility with no grounding in anything.

Furthermore isn't it kinda more embarrassing when, instead of admitting there was a problem, they just say that the phone was tested. It seems to imply that the issue is intentional.

Re the beer, I never found a gluten free beer I really enjoyed. I'm not much of a drinker, but I've been happier with the occasional good hard cider.

As for a decent cider that's more widely available, I'm kind of partial to Woodchuck's 802 (named after their area code). (I have no interest in Woodchuck. Just passing on my experience.)

It doesn't replace beer in my life, but it's more enjoyable than an off-tasting gluten free beer. (I keep hearing there are really good gluten free beers out there, but I've yet to encounter one.)

While I'm commenting, if you think you might be gluten intolerant in addition to or as opposed to celiac, you may want to take a look at dairy, specifically casein. It is similar to gluten and some people with gluten intolerance also have trouble with casein.

Best wishes.

No offense, but I find the humor in this reference far more insightful than the majority of the other offhand comments in this thread (that have many up-votes). The satire here is relevant and appropriate in my opinion, not tangential. I understand HN tends to frown on offhand comments (as it generally should), but knee-jerk downvoting humor without considering the context will make HN a dull boy. Voting up or down shouldn't be based on whether you agree or disagree with the comment, but whether the comment has merit. downvotes welcome

This follow up interview seems to be focused a lot on capital and very little on the product. IIRC, they never really got the software up and running. Yet, even now, there doesn't seem to be a recognition that the lack of product was a core issue. Maybe it's just WSJ tailoring the article to their audience, but this whole storyline seems out of whack.

BTW, my favorite dot-com movie is the satire "Dot". If you've never seen it, try to find a copy.
Absolutely agree. Once I even happened to ignore a nutcase that approached me somewhat awkwardly in the street, not because I was uncomfortable but simply because I assumed she was on headset making a call.
I agree with the fact that not getting any feedback (good or bad) hurts people in the long run. Having feedback and either improving in those areas or adjusting how you approach them would help people and if you don't know their an issue how can you improve them?

I've sent previous interviewing managers questions asking what I can improve when I didn't get a job this year, and none of them returned my e-mail. Very frustrating, especially if you're someone who would like to improve themself!
Yeah, you're right, I wasn't really expressing myself very well I think, which will teach me to start typing before my first coffee of the day :)

I actually think a lot of the problem is the culturally linked gender roles that society pushes on kids from an early age. The "girls play with dolls, boys play with cars" type stuff. I was always a tomboy and hated dolls, I was far more interested in cars and planes and Lego than more girly toys (though when peer pressure started to become a part of my life I felt left out without Barbies and things).

The point being, at my academically-selective girls high school, we had only a tiny computer room (and not much done in there), no metalwork or woodwork or anything like that classes, but lots of sewing and cooking as our "design and technology" part. Us girls weren't really encouraged to use computers much, the only thing that really got me into it was my dad, who was (and still is) an oldskool computer nerd. I'm sure if we'd had more opportunities to do more with computing there would have been more women going into computer-related degrees at university, for example. But these distinctions are things that need to be addressed well before the getting-to-uni part.

I just get the distinct impression that to get more women into these sorts of areas they need to be more exposed to them from an earlier age, so it's part of their normal expectations about what they can do with their life, much like becoming a doctor or a lawyer is these days, when in the past these were most definitely male dominated areas.
Your first bloodwork was neither here nor there. Your second bloodwork was positive. At that point, you rightly earned a biopsy. The biopsy is the definitive diagnosis, unless you had been on a wheat-free diet prior to the biopsy (which would cause the duodenum to return to normal). That wasn't the case, right?

Now, the interpretation of the biopsy might not be great. Have you considered asking your GI to send it to (somewhere else of your choosing) to get a second opinion?

Edit For some reason, your other posts seemed to convey that your GI was not very confident in her biopsy of your duodenum. This does make me a bit nervous. This is why it's hard to play doctor over the internet. If we were in real life, I could probably get a much better sense of whether or not to trust the biopsy. Hopefully her biopsy is at least good enough to prove to an outside reader that she did indeed biopsy the duodenum...
The 'Android' trademark is fairly worthless to the carriers and manufacturers, and they mostly avoid it anyway. They could fork the OS anyway, since it's open source!

What Google could do is be a lot more aggressive with the certification process for their 'Google Experience' apps -- the carriers would at least pay attention if Google threatened to not allow them to distribute their closed-source apps: Marketplace, Maps, Gmail, etc.

The difference here is that the guys at Princeton weren't clueless linkbaiters, or folks who think that the fundamental unit of RF signal strength is "the bar". The Princeton physicists were physicists. They did science. They took actual data, made actual scientific arguments backed by that data, and published them.

The subtext of Apple's PR here is: You want to have an argument about RF engineering and the complexities and tradeoffs involved? Bring it. Apple's engineering team stands by its work. But you better be prepared to argue like an engineer, not a gossip columnist.

If we really had much in common with bonobos, we wouldn't have a concept of marriage at all. Everybody would be willing to mate with everybody at all times; whereas humans only want to mate with people they're attracted to.

The mere fact that men care whether their sex partners are good-looking tells us that pair bonding is pretty deeply ingrained in our psyches. While females have a stronger incentive to make sure the men they mate with are of the highest quality (since they could be stuck carrying and caring for their kid for a long time), men invest little in mating so in the absence of pair bonding should be willing to mate with any female unless they expect to find a better female in the next few hours. Instead, men tend to be picky about the physical characteristics of the women they're willing to mate with.

I think the conclusion of The Red Queen on this subject was that humans are somewhere between monogamous and polygamous; men are polygamous when they can get away with it (i.e. when they're powerful enough to get away with taking more than their fair share of women) and monogamous when they can't. Women have little desire to have multiple husbands, but do want to mate with the best quality men, so will often marry lower-quality men but have affairs with higher-quality ones.

Strict monogamy no, but pair bonding as a deep-seated instict yes.

http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone...

A compelling argument has been made that the positive associations between SES and ASD prevalence that have been observed likely are due either in part or entirely to ascertainment bias [22]–[24], [30], [31]. For example, it has been suggested that “more parents of high social class families [have] the necessary information and financial resources to find their way to the specialized facilities” [23] and “a knowledgeable and determined parent of an autistic child [is] more likely to obtain an informed diagnosis” [24].

Interesting to explore whether the diagnosis is resultant from "better" (higher paid?) doctors' opinions or if the frequency of ASD really would be higher among that strata of socioeconomic status.

Sounds like your wifes district is severely dysfunctional. My wife is also a teacher and her experiences aren't like this. There are bad teachers that are still around because of tenure but I've yet to hear of anything as extreme as sleeping in class. That's not to say it doesn't happen, just that every district has different problems.

Administration vs teachers. This can vary school by school from what I've seen/experienced. At the school my wife just finished four years at staff parties were staff parties, even administrators came. The teachers and administrators had close bonds and when half the staff and 100% of the administration at the school were fucked due to district level bureaucracy and the requirements of a federal grant this year there was very clear solidarity between the two groups. The principal that will be taking over the school for the next year however immediately alienated all of the staff members and replaced a bunch of them with people from his previous school. The mans reputation preceded him of course and it wasn't a good one, regardless of his reputation his actions were very discouraging and in many cases poor judgement.

As far as tracks for progression and salary for teachers I don't think a traditional corporate structure would work just as it doesn't often work for engineers or programmers. I know plenty of programmers that never ever want to enter management and struggle to find companies that will pay them according to their experience and not their position on an org chart. Additionally with teachers many teachers, my wife for example, there may be zero desire to become an administrator. As such we should be willing to pay teachers that are good, and have experience accordingly regardless of their moves into administration.

This may not be the case where you are located, but here the teachers union represents the teachers who have one type of contract, and there is no body that represents the administrators. Administrators have individual contracts and can be terminated quite easily by the district. Teachers are on standardized contracts created by the teachers union and so it is harder to remove them. Unfortunately you don't see many administrators removed because there's a good old boy system in place. The people at the district level overseeing administration all know each other and have been around forever. People owe each other favors or their kids play ball together and other bull shit. A new superintendent was hired a year ago from another state and the first thing he did was eliminate a lot of positions that were filled by unqualified individuals or that shouldn't have even existed. Some times a little fresh blood at the top is necessary to clear out administrative problems. I don't envy him though, he'll probably be tossed out on his ass in another year or two due to problems beyond his control. The school districts budget shortfall for next year is over 50%.
As you can tell by the date, it's about a month old. He has a follow up blog post titled "First week at Google": http://matt-welsh.blogspot.com/2010/07/first-week-at-google.....
Except that mobile phones are wireless and are subject to inverse square law as far as signal is concerned.

Signal theory traditionally operates with log scale because it simplifies math greatly and makes graphs manageable. If you say have noise floor at -30dB, expressing it on a linear graph is not very convenient.
fixed this, it now updates the map too thanks
I didn't see it mentioned in the article but most of the job openings are not for class room teachers but special education and ESL (English as a second language). That means you have to have special endorsements or licensing to hold those positions. My wifes district is laying off teachers this year due to budget shortfalls yet there are still job openings. They are just all special education positions.

There are two reasons there's lots of special education positions open. The first is that many teachers don't have the necessary endorsements. The second is that many teachers have zero desire to get the endorsements. Special education in many schools is underfunded and under supported. In our overzealous attempt to prevent peoples children from being labeled as different we've hamstrung the programs. Then you have the mainstreaming of severely dysfunctional children in order to make them feel normal. This can cause greater problems for those children and negatively impact the education of every child. I'm not an expert on this topic but I've heard enough about it to see why so many teachers aren't willing to work in special education.
