Well, it was December in New England, so it was dark when I left to go to work, and dark when I left to go home, and too far north for even the noonday winter sun to help produce any vitamin D.
Mind you, what was previously (and mostly still is!) considered “high doses” of vitamim D are actually closer to the RDI than the doses anyone is taking. The RDI for vitamin D was miscalculated as 1/10th its proper value decades ago, and this error was only recently corrected: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/03/150317122458.h...

So when a science journalist—or even most scientists still—say “high doses” of vitamin D, they really mean proper doses of vitamin D. Including in this article! They’re quoting the same improper 600IU RDI standard that the article above refutes, and quoting 4000IU as an abnormal amount rather than being perfectly-well-within the correct RDI value.

Offtopic: are we now so gender neutral we even cannot address our own kid as he or she? Or did you do this on purpose to hide the gender of your kid as part of your privacy?

No flame intended. Honest question. Never thought about the gender of my kids being a privacy thing.

As a parent I (we) try not to restrain things like screen use. Instead we actively promote all other forms of spending time we prefer more. This means I usually enter the room before my kids get up and put the devices away and put other toys in sight. My wife is a montessori (method) teacher which makes her quite skilled at knowing which kind of toys/lessons our kids like at what time in their life. Meaning each couple of weeks the things we prepare change. Result is they usually first pick a bit of everything in plain sight and only after, at the end of day, ask for a device. We didn’t tell them not to, it is just they really like their puzzles, painting, and what have you. In real life preparing means putting things in sight instead of in a closet and one of us being downstairs before the kids is normal as well. Not much effort there.

Disclaimer: my oldest is only 3 right now. Older kids may be entirely different though I believe promoting better options has a better effect than restraining the negative ones.

I used a CRT monitor until the resoluions of LCD monitors were really “retina” and the IPS with color calibration appeared (and the graphic cards and OSes supported these resolutions properly). At least until that point a good CRT was better: analog transitions between the pixels on the quality CRT were much easier for reading than the TFT LCDs of these times. The analog elements provided the smoothness.

> Bright light too? I can recommend a good lamp.

It's no longer recommended to use UV-B light as a source for Vitamin D, because it increases your risk of skin cancer.

Instead, Vitamin D can be obtained from certain foods, though the number of foods that contain Vitamin D naturally is quite small[0]. Hence why supplements are often needed.

[0] Vitamin D is added to milk, though it doesn't occur in milk naturally. And the quantities included in milk may not be sufficient for a lot of people.
The Berlin Patient was an extremely unique case.

1) The patient had leukemia and HIV

2) The bone marrow donor had the extremely rare delta 32 mutation (which provides resistance to HIV)

Bone marrow donors are in high demand. The delta 32 mutation is extremely rare.

Assuming there were not limitations on delta 32 bone marrow donors, it is not ethically sound to intentionally induce leukemia and/or perform transplants when there are already tested treatment methods (Antiretroviral drugs/tenofovir) that make HIV a manageable disease.

That model that you gave them will help them in the future as they figure out how to deal with not ideal people in relationships, and be a good person that attracts the right kind of people.

They just have to learn how to deal with non-ideal people, mostly by dating a bunch, maybe reading a few books so they can better recognize borderline and other personality disorders.

It takes a great deal of self-awareness to recognize how different your relationship/marriage/household/raising is from the norm and how this may affect your children. What messes kids up sometimes is just that their home is different from that of others so they don't know how to cope with others' expectations. Your kid sounds a little too cynical though. I'd say what he/she has is a blessing, because he/she has the opportunity to not only introduce someone to a good relationship, but also with some work, have a good marriage later on.

>Tell me why out of state students will pay significantly higher tuition when they can get a cheaper education in their State College?

Because an out of state university with a "nothing special" program in a field will give an out of state student who is moderately strong in that field a better price via favorable financial aid (grants, better loans, etc) than an in-state university that has a strong program in that field.

IMO, charging time is a non issue for people with personal garages. I have owned a Model S for a year, and the only time charging time is a factor is when I am doing long road trips.

I don't think this is a good long term investment.

Disclaimer: I worked for a Spotify competitor in the past, so i have a pretty solid understanding of how the business works.

I think it is a bad investment for one simple reason: Spotify purchases its main product (music) from a oligopoly. I'd estimate that 95%+ of the tracks streamed (by total playtime) are from one of the 3 major music labels: Universal, Sony or Warner. That includes sublabels that in some cases may have a seperate deal with Spotify, but at the end of the day are still part of the big 3. Imagine you are a Sony executive, walking by a news stand and the Wall Street Journal Headline is "Spotify Q2 earnings 30% up". What are you gonna do? You will squeeze them, make them pay, just enough that they survive. And Spotify has zero negotiation power here. If Sptify fails to have a deal with any 1 of these 3 labels, they become useless overnight. People will switch to Apple Music, Amazon PrimeMusic, Tidal or any other service quickly. It doesn't matter if Spotifys app is slighty better than the competitors software if they lack 1/3 of the music.
I agree with you, as people get richer they spend more on health, for themselves and their pets.

But just because vet costs are increasing at a similar rate (or more) than human costs doesn't mean the third party vs first party thing isn't the issue. Absolute overall human health care costs are still way higher then vet costs for similar services(1), despite the rates of increase the past few years.

Also, anecdotally, some vets are going the other way. There's a vet near my house, for example, that just started weekend + holiday hours with rates the same as to their normal ones. We hadn't even gone their before, but when my dog woke up last Easter with some eye problem, we called around, found them, and got some ointment that helped. The other two options would have been: wait a day, or go into an emergency clinic that's k's of dollars. If we had pet insurance I'm sure we just would have gone in without thinking.

I live somewhere else, so I spent closer to 6k on housing (a mortgage, in my case). Next year that will be zero, as it will have been paid off in full after about 3 years.

You spend more on uber & lyft than you do on fuel, which is an interesting data point.

What is stash? Savings? How about DCU?

Is comcast cable? Or just internet? If it's cable that's an easy thing to cut out.

I don't see much that is outrageous in this budget. A lot of it is obscured by names of businesses, like walmart.

I think I spend less across the board, except fuel. Counting planes, cabs, fuel, car, insurance, rentals, and possibly a car payment (DCU?), you spent a LOT on transportation. My expenses in that category this year were registration, insurance at about $400, fuel, and a few oil changes I did myself. I bought my car (1996 Jeep) outright several years ago.

The entire 2nd column is totally fine, I'd ignore that altogether.

If you want an easier-to-parse budget, I would do this:

Categorize everything, like this:

* Housing

* Car Ownership

* Other transportation

* Groceries

* Eating Out (subway etc)

* Entertainment (zoo, movies, etc)

* Essential Utilities (electric, internet imo)

* Non-essential Utilities (cable tv imo)

* Medical

Then look at those numbers. I think you'll find your car ownership column is too high, and the rest is probably within your limits. To make it less expensive, own an older vehicle without payments or don't own one at all if your city can support that.

You will almost certainly be able to save money in eating out and groceries, and non-essential utilities. I do not recommend saving money in recreational, you aren't overspending in that category imo.
Thanks! Maybe this explains why it gives me a 24 hour stomach ache! (although not all brands?!)
Saying "women are worse at negotiating" is really not the whole story. Women are less likely to negotiate, and less likely to negotiate in ways that are most effective for men, but it's not because women are bad at negotiating, but rather that women are punished for attempting to negotiate. A woman who attempts to use the same negotiation strategies that are effective for men is likely to be considered abrasive, hostile, "not a team player", etc. and is more likely to be passed over for promotion, to be given an even smaller salary / raise, or to be dismissed altogether.

Women's approach to negotiating is effective and rational given the constraints, even though from the outside it may seem like women are bad at negotiating.

Out of curiosity, and as someone who has a newborn and will be going through this at some point, how do you determine what effects your policies have on their potential social ostracization especially as they get older. In my youth I witnessed this social outcasting happen to children based on parental restrictions such as these. I still see it as they become adults. The effect seems to compound on itself from being the one not allowed to do something, to having only the few friends in a similar boat, to being an adult that grew up with fewer friends and fewer at-large interactions. Do you take into account these costs? Is the cost of over-exposure to media greater than the cost of having them be different/segregated to satisfy this?
> Ok there aren't enough students, and universities might have to scale back.

Why? Give me a reason why having more smart people studying at your universities, contributing to society and research is a bad idea.

> Right but the article is talking about undergraduate international students and OP was talking about research setback in US in general. Yeah we can talk about general interest or kernels of interest and how some undergraduate students are involved, but that's moving the goal post. If we discuss graduate research, grants, state funds, then that's a different discussion.

Its not moving the goal posts as much as including more relevant points in a discussion which is certainly permissible. You don't just dismiss it simply because its "another discussion". I believe I made some excellent points about how undergraduate research has an important effect on graduate research. And cutting the former significantly affects the latter.

> Still don't see how undergraduate international students coming most likely from the wealthiest families paying full tuition to go to Kentucky State or Oklahoma State necessarily equates to a major setback in our society. There is nothing about them that's necessarily more hard working or being the smartest.

Its the admission process that selects the brightest. If you don't agree that American Universities are good at selecting the best, then you're probably right. My experience has been otherwise.

> Ok but aren't you using the same hand-wavy anecdotal arguments? What's wrong with sharing personal experience. Thanks for sharing yours, I shared mine. You don't think that's representative that's fine. I went to college around 2000s so things might have changed since then. Also there are enough schools that everyone is going to experience something different.

That's true, and I agree with your statement.
It's not about whether the university is reputable, it's about whether the college or school within that university is reputable.

A backwater program at a good university is going to be worse than a flagship program at a backwater university
Don't give them current salary. If they won't hire you, you're better off.

Instead, add a (reasonable) raise to your current salary, then add another X percentage just in case you don't get a raise for a couple years. Hand the hiring company that figure.

Edit for clarity
