>Moreover, the brain health of families is not generally a consideration in school systems

Has anyone succeeded in making it a consideration and shown results?

>If kids are under toxic stress and not sleeping enough to recover, their brains won't develop to their full potential.

That begs more questions. Which child is using their brains to its full potential? What does 'full' mean here anyway? and how far away from 'full' are we talking about.

>That science is well-understood from animal models and glimpsed in human neuroimaging studies.

Could you elaborate?
Web advertising only works to reveal preferences through privacy-invading ad tracking, and the public is showing less and less tolerance for such measures.

Newspapers were absolutely using classifieds to blow up their revenue, but advertising still played a big part and I doubt if classifieds were a significant source of revenue for most magazines (a quick look didn't turn up much in terms of figures).

Web publishing developed the way that it did because publishers weren't particularly good at foreseeing what the end-game was going to look like, combined with a good bit of hubris about what actual effects the web would have on print publishing. The resultant excessive ad tracking occurred because publishers were trying to, ahem, "polish a turd".
> Advertising is one such model, with massive privacy violations required to optimize it

Why they took as granted that web ads must be behavior-targeted? It does not even work. Ads were much better targeted in 2005 with context-based targeting than now. Now I see ads about things that I'm not interested in at all and that I hate almost everywhere.
Here's your technological solution: Use more efficient, less polluting (and slower) turbofan engines instead of less efficient, more polluting (and faster) turbojects.

And here's the attendant public policy: Tax the turbojects' users enough to offset the negative ecological externalities incurred by their use. That will likely make commercial SST unprofitable.
Maybe (and it’s definitely relevant), although I’m not sure other studies agree.

But it is well established that parents’ wealth is an extremely good predictor of children’s wealth (see e.g. [1]). And I don’t think OP is matte_black is denying the role of intelligence. They’re merely noting that poverty, in itself, doesn’t necessarily correlate with ingenuity.

I mean, good for them, but if BPA is "still currently used" and alternatives to BPS are only "being considered", then in the EU both BPA and BPS are still in thermal paper right now, yes?

So, in fact, it is valid to say that "most common types of thermal paper contain BPA and BPS."

> the nature of 'public' has changed

There was "public" debate/discussion before. And then there was the conversation at the tavern, which was a different (and less intellectual) thing. What's changed is the internet, which kind of combined those worlds.

Someone would make a speech or state a position. It would get reported on, in a newspaper article. Many people would have comments, but the newspaper would only print one or two replies (the very best ones) for the world to see. The rest of the discussion would happen in the tavern, where only a few people would hear any individual comment. Such comments would be clearly distinct from the replies printed in the newspaper.

But now the reporting is online, with a comments section, which doesn't filter the replies. The equivalent of the tavern (all the taverns put together) is now right alongside the original article.

And I think that this may have changed the level of the reporting to some degree, too. They're moving toward the level of the comments - not all the way, but in that direction.
> but if you put in the consistent work, you can absolutely get there.

I'm guessing you're right - you _can_ do it (the same way people in medical residency can force themselves to work 80 hour workweeks), but will it ever feel pleasant and not like a chore? I can go out with friends in the evening after work, but I'll be a bit slow and groggy.

A long time ago, I tried to remove a tick with tweezers. I failed horribly and left the head in my upper skin layer, having removed only the body. So I had to use a a rather sharp pen knife to remove the rest.

Two year later, while camping, I had to remove a handfull of ticks and a tick removal tool (shaped like a crowbar) was very usefull.

Traveling for business, I've paid extra for a flight that cut my coast-to-coast travel time from 8 hours to 6 hours (can't get nonstop flights to LA from my airport). That was the difference between "do I visit my client today for a few hours or do I go straight to the hotel and see them tomorrow".

The difference wasn't worth paying Concorde prices, but it was an extra $200 and since my billing rate is over $500/hr and considering the hotel prices in LA, the client was happy to pay it if it meant seeing me the same day I flew in.

Agreed. I also like to use TRAMP [1] for remote editing files in Emacs: it gets a local copy of a file you're editing so that it only requires a connection when you save/load (as opposed to constantly streaming Emacs over SSH). Not suitable for all tasks, but it means I'm rarely at the mercy of my lackluster internet connection.

> can come up with

The ability of a population to sometimes come up with incredible solutions does not negate the theory that growing up poor harms brain development.

You have structured your post as a criticism or denial of the point in the article, but your post is just a logical fallacy that makes no sense. Additionally, your post suggests that you think poverty is almost a desirable situation, you show no compassion or concern for the 40 million Americans living in poverty or how the system of American capitalism has left so many of them with likely brain development problems.

You dismiss leading science and modern culture for an attitude that certaintly doesn't belong in reasonable conversation online or anywhere. Your post is effectively 'F the poor, nothing is wrong with the situation, they are smart enough to get out of the whole we put them in, who cares about trying to help them or even understand what poverty is like'.
China recognizes US patents. I believe that is one of the promises made when joining the WTO. Of course, China could decide one day not to honor these patents, but that would fuel Trump's narrative and escalate this trade war into even greater levels. China does not want that, not yet.
Strictly speaking as a consumer, I would rather pay per article (say 10c-20c per article), rather than a monthly subscription. The way I look at it, I'm giving to the media outlet partly as an act of charity, to help out for better journalism. I don't want another subscription, that's for sure.

As for cable, i pay 0$, because I don't need it, at all.

Cell phone bill is 23$/month for 2 people, using USmobile.com You get 100minutes and 100 MB of Data and 100 text messages per month. I don't need all those data hungry apps anyway.

Car insurance: metromile.com lets you pay roughly 2c - 3c per mile plus about 15$/mo base. That's much better than 100$ per month.

Who the heck wants all this? "all of our research shows people want high-definition images with their stories, instant loading of articles on the site, and interactivity. ", " Consumers want immersive experiences, well-designed pages with fonts, graphics, photos, and videos coming together into a compelling format." Is this really what the majority of people want?

I'd gladly have a simple page with simple graphics with a nice readable layout. that last thing i want is some stupid video playing in the middle of the page, slowing things down.
A thing doesn't have to be "a piece of a functioning economic unit" to be worth owning.

Examples: copper, gold, land, art, wireless spectrum, currency.

There's a perfectly valid rationale to hold each of these assets, and none of them are "productive" by themselves.

Each of these has scarcity and utility. That's what matters.
His argument against it, much like gold, would be that it is merely a store of value rather than a productive asset (e.g., crop-yielding land, companies, etc.).

If you read up on his comments on hold (someone copy-pasted it elsewhere in this thread), you will see that this is nothing more than his investment thesis. It seems to work well for him.

You make a great point in the long run; more money flowing into graphics cards should imply more R&D and improved technology (although if there's a lack of synergy between "developments good for faster graphics" and "developments good for faster mining," I'd expect innovation to follow the money).

... in the short run, the production space hasn't ramped up to meet the demand from a new consumer sector and my graphics cards have jumped in price. ;) And (depending on how bullish you are on the notion of crypto solvers being a permanent need and not a bubble) the market may be setting up for a crash if these currencies turn out to be a flash-in-the-pan and demand evaporates overnight for solver hardware. I'm not super-convinced of that crash outcome though; it's a risk, but I'd rate it a low one.
I think even more fundamentally than cost is that modern airports aren't design around all the extremes required for supersonic passenger planes.

Not just theoretically, LA to London (LAX to Gatwick or Heathrow) is 10:15-10:30 — there are several flights per day. (interestingly it's 11:10-11:30 in the opposite direction because of the wind patterns).
I’ve always been amused that they are called “Arabic” as a cursory glance at the shapes of European and Hindu digits shows the connection while the Arab scripts use such different forms. But the again this is how we get terms like the foods “turkey” and “orange” so there’s no reason to complain.

India did also have a (presumably) Babylonian-inspired sexagesimal system as well, as seen for example in the pre-decimalized currency. There was extensive trade between India, the Middle East, and Eastern Africa stretching back thousands of years, and cultural as well as physical goods clearly went both ways.
We've been in it about the same length of time. I agree with your assessment.

A lot of trade in the stock markets is based on similar dynamics: lack of clue on the investor's part, just go with what someone told you.

> As someone who is friends who two different social workers and related to someone in family court diversions (think: parents getting their kids taken away and want them back) I can tell you that UBI isn't going to solve much of anything.

As someone who is friends with a couple different people who teach critical thinking in college and related to one who does so in high school, I can tell you that this argument-from-loose-contact-with-people-who-unnamed-and-unverifiable-alleged-authoirities involves at least two layers of serious fallacy.

> One would think the US's 50 year experiment with welfare would already provide more than enough data to prove that if you subsidize a behavior you get more of it.

UBI is specifically not about subsidizing behavior; the absence of means- and behavior-testing is what the “U” (either “unconditional” or “universal”) refers to.
Not always. Some tests take a while to run and I might rather they run on the CI server than my own machine.

Generally if I'm moderately sure things pass I'll just push to CI. Even sometimes when I'm sure they'll fail I'll push to CI, then work on something else while it runs the build, then come back to check the output.
You can get pre-paid/secured credit cards in a lot of countries (especially if Capital One operate there). Unless you're moving every 6 months, you should have enough credit history to land one CC with a tiny limit: then you set up automatic payments and let it mature.

May I suggest setting up a project board when you move with stuff like 'update address for <SERVICE X>' & clone all the issues when you move? Helps to avoid accounts getting closed for missed payments at least.

If there's one thing I've learned in my 45 years, it's that actually no one has figured yet what the term "intrinsic value" really means. The more you dig into that term it just ends up meaning "what someone else is willing to pay for it" blended together with some fuzzy subjective notions of morality.

Ask HN: How have others found CircleCI 2.0?
CircleCI is migrating to a new version of their platform called CircleCI 2.0. We've had a great experience with the first version of their tool, which (IMO) applies the philosophy of convention over configuration that Heroku took to deployment to integration testing. You push some code to CircleCI, it detects your framework, and it runs your tests for you.

The new platform seems _way_ more complicated to us. We spent some time migrating our circle.yml file for one of our rails apps over to the new format and were surprised how much less convention there is. It took a bunch of work, our config file has just about doubled (34 lines to 70), and it's much more complex.

As an example of what I mean, the previous version allowed you to cache folders between build with syntax like this:

cache_directories:
- foo # relative to the build directory

In the new version, they've replaced this with "manual caching". The full code is kind of long but you can see it in use here: (https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/caching/#full-example-of-saving-and-restoring-cache). It's more flexible but also more verbose than the previous system.

We like the service generally and I know they're respected in the community, so I'm wondering how others have found the migration. Are there cool things you wanted to be able to do that are now enabled by the flexibility?

Why would a broken build affect the team? Are you pushing changes to master that don’t pass CI?
Change cannot happen overnight, it is a gradual process. Saudi has improved: two major improvements - woman being allowed to drive and opening of the first cinema in 35 years ! I expect more changes to happen over time.

The situation in Yemen is bad. However it is not totally one-sided pain inflicted by Saudi Arabia as portrayed in the article. The Houthis are after all well armed militants who were/are trying to overthrow the Yemen government.

Some people at MIT have hardline stances which should not be mistaken to be the institute's opinion or the majority opinion. A year ago there was a movement by some to have MIT divest from oil/gas-related companies which failed.

Freakonomics introduced the concept of the [anti-charity](http://freakonomics.com/2011/08/25/how-to-improve-iphones-ne...) that you don't want to donate to.

I would go one step further and pick an amount that I want to donate and then each fail action moves a unit of money from the "good" to "bad" bucket. ie start with $100 and each failed build puts $1 into the Big Endian / Kodos / Republican and each successful build the dollar goes into the Little Endian / Krang / Democrat charity bucket.

I think the interactions between "ticks" not being "observed" or "realized" by the universe is what gp means when they assert our [physical] world depends on time. If these between-tick interactions are not impacting our physical measurements then I am not sure it's possible for time to not be "steady" from a single frame of reference.

I can of course imagine a scenario where different entities, even in the same universe, experience the passage of time differently. For instance, a positronic robot whose consciousness is only switched on for one minute of every hour. To this being, events could appear to happen willy-nilly, without causation, due to activity between ticks, but the robot would have no way of knowing why the world works like this without talking to another being without the limitations who has been making observations in "real time". So perhaps something like this is happening to us and could explain some weird quantum phenomena, but I'm having trouble thinking of any way we could test it.
> superficial friendships

In Polish, there are different two words for friends (i.e. people who care for you, who would give you ex. a big loan or a kidney) and for people who you just like to hang out with, because it's fun and convenient for both of you at the time. I feel it's more blurred in English, with both of them being called friends.

Tires? As in plural? I thought it only happened once and that was due to parts from another plane being left on the runway. Any aircraft with tires mounted under a wing (fuel tank) will have the potential that if a tire blows, a piece with enough force could knock a hole through it.
