> But I strongly suspect that knowing 200 people well enough to even invite them to your wedding

That just depends on what you define as "well enough". I've been invited to quite a few weddings of people I barely knew.
I agree. To have someone like LeBron as the face of the NBA is fantastic. As a sports fan I hate the guy (Thank god he moved to the western conference) but as a human, I think he is an incredible role model and force for good in this country.
I did overstate my case. I think you are also overstating yours.

> rating without the ability to fire is pointless

A fair point.

> whatever rating system they came up with was too onerous.

All measurement systems come at a cost. Picking the unions to blame without looking at what the researchers or the funders required seems premature.

You don't like unions. Finland, where education reform has worked, has teachers unions. It might serve you well to investigate further if you want to achieve education reform here.
From what I read it seems he's focusing on the pain points or barriers to learning from the perspective of the underprivileged from whence LeBron came. If you have someone that lived this giving him deep insight to the real issues AND he's a good person AND he has power to change, that is a fabulous formula for success. I hope this works out. Too many times you have people meaning well that have not actually experienced the life of the subjects being helped and you end up with wrong-fit solutions. We can all understand this as coders when we build something thinking this is how users will use it and then find out no, that's not the case.
> The only downside I've notice is slightly increased battery consumption on my phone, but that's to be expected (it uses approximately 5% of the battery per day).

Note that if you run a phone that has the WireGuard kernel module (rather than the userspace implementation), battery usage winds up being basically nil in my tests.

As for the userspace fallback, we expect performance (and hence battery life) to increase on that once these are merged:

I have the same problem, especially in terms of being torn between something I believe in vs something that is likely to make money, and then things fall into "very feasible, not very scalable" vs "not feasible, scalable", etc. So, let me ask you some questions:

"The first is to build an early warning system for various diseases (malaria, dengue fever) and public health problems, something I've been working on in grad school and a few large orgs have shown interest in paying for."

How can you possibly do this?

What is your expected funding need? Is it realistic?

Are these outbreaks really a concern in the developed world? If not, is anyone willing to pay for systems for Africa?

"The other is a personal preventative health dashboard that gives you dynamic predictive suggestions based on your diet, genetics, fitness and sleep data."

It seems to me like these are a dime-a-dozen.

How do you make a smooth experience? Can you really wrap it up? Or do I go get a blood pressure monitor from Walmart, ship off my saliva to Ancestry.com, and manually enter my data into your app so you could tell me my blood pressure is high? My FitBit, blood pressure monitor, and the aforementioned DNA sites already tell me what I am not doing and what I am at risk for. What's the selling point?

It's a different standard of measurement. American anti-trust is about preventing a monopoly from harming consumers via perverse incentives; European anti-trust is about preventing a competitor from driving other laborers out of the market (less emphasis placed on the end-result to the consumer).

Case in point (though it was France-specific, it highlights the difference in viewpoint): Amazon was fined by the French government because their discounts + Amazon Prime discount exceeded a legal limit of how deep a discount you were allowed to give on books. That limit was in place due to lobbying efforts by the book-seller's guild; it has nothing to do with bringing consumers the lowest price possible and everything to do with preventing individual sellers from driving each other out of business via short-term loss-leading discounts. Whether or not Amazon could offer its discounts because of more-efficient processes that minimize their overhead (such as being able to ship books to people only when needed instead of holding a bunch of brick-and-mortar real-estate to locally warehouse unsold merchandise) doesn't even enter into the discussion---drop below the critical price, pay the fine.
This is a fallacious appeal to authority. Credentialed economists are not the only people who can make claims about economics. If you can substantively debate her assertion then please do. Otherwise you are not contributing.

>The middle one is absolutely true, the other two I really doubt e.g. in Finland or Germany, schoolday starts around 9AM and ends around 2PM, yielding 3h30 to 4h studies a day accounting for breaks, 5 days/week, with little homework (maybe 5h/week total). Afternoon is usually dedicated to clubs.

In the context of at-risk kids, I think the idea is to maximize the amount of time the kids get to spend away from their toxic and stressful home environments.

I am a bit skeptical of the overall "minimize idle time" idea, though. They seem to be on board with giving the kids enough free time to do independent study and stuff, but whether that's any good will depend on how it's implemented.

FWIW a pièce montée refers to any large/"architectual" pastry, so a tiered cake would be considered a pièce montée.

The specific dessert you're talking about is the croquembouche. Delicious, but the caramel ones are so damn sticky.

FWIW an other common option for pièces montées is to use multiple cakes on supports, which avoids the structural issues and limited edibility of a tiered cake, and offers more flexibility (e.g. depending on layout you may be able to use cakes with pretty different looks and ingredients, or you can create pretty cool-looking scenes).
Wait, is this like common in the US? I thought our 6 week summer break in German schools was on the long side :)

One nice thing about 3 month summer is the ability to get a temporary job. When I was in high school I worked every summer as a landscaper/food service/lifeguard/etc. and gained lots of experience/money I otherwise wouldn't have gotten. With year round school that doesn't seem possible.

Librarians have to weed their collections regularly, or see them overrun with bad books. Due to changes in interest or deteriorating condition, some books need to be purged so that the important ones can be maintained and new ones can be brought in.

This was a liberating idea for me, as I'm a bibliophile from a family of bibliophiles. Your collection is only as good as your curation.
