The way out of this for the US is to have lots more doctors.

So tax hospital revenues (yes, revenues) to fund residencies and have an objective standard for accrediting medical schools, where meeting the objective standard automatically qualifies the seats.

Of course patients will then be paying for the residencies, but that's fine, it even makes sense.

Having more nurse practitioners and physicians assistants would also help, but doctors lobby against them starting independent practices.
I think that's at least preferable over them not caring because it's only your problem, not theirs :)

The response was tongue-in-cheek: the commenter implied that the article was insufficient due to the journalist being less intelligent due to living in a polluted city.
Even assuming that a consumer "gigabit" connection is actually delivering that speed, you also have bottlenecks in the wire protocol (sftp or scp or https or whatever) and the storage service. It would take me longer than a day to copy 8T to the archive storage within my own data center using HSI (an ftp-like utility for accessing HPSS storage).

I think it would be good to have a bottom up forecast for the first 12 months. Apart from that, a disciplined forecast will clearly show how the calculation was derived and what assumptions went into it. You should not have to dig through a bunch of data to gain insight into the mindset of the forecaster - the forecaster is supposed to put that info in the model! If they can justify year 1's sales expenses by mentioning that it's for 2 sales people + an SDR, then great! Just don't expect that granularity in year 3.

It's quite easy to avoid the "3.5 people" issue by making it a step function (i.e. rounding). Once again your assumptions become explicit, which is good. E.g. you might decide that one person can do the work of 1.3 employees (people can do this for a while when it's needed!) and round everything above that up to 2.

However, when forecasting 3 years in advance as in the article, the fact that your model has you hiring fractional people becomes less important.
I don't believe in that science. The brain can learn how to approach problems more efficiently, how to break them down, how to think in the way these IQ tests are designed.

We put way too much confidence into science in general. It's our God we don't question.

Did you read the article? The topic of conversation was teenagers who are looking to unplug because they are tired of what social media turns their peers into. They obviously have many things "not to love". I don't see anyone complaining about having a miserable time on social media - it's just that they recognize the need to unplug due to what social media does to your brain.
Last year I took a subscription to Backblaze, (incidentally) I have around 8TB of data, I have a gigabit upload (a real one), but Backblaze servers are on the other side of the planet for me. It took around 3 or 4 months to upload it all.

That's to say, there's more to it than upload speed, if Backlaze had servers in Europe I'd recommend it much more than I do.
Not just that--a family of opioids which never should have been approved for general use by the FDA.

“Obsession” is not the right word. I don’t think most Americans have an opinion on it (and they generally shouldn’t unless they’re psychologists or willing to do a lot of personal research on the subject).

I’m also pretty skeptical that there’s a meaningful difference between what the modal person in the UK and US (respectively) believes about IQ. I could probably be persuaded, but I don’t see any reason to think your opinion has anything to do with your country or nationality.

Cool project thanks for sharing your work. There's an older project using lmdb (which doesn't support branching or anything, just for storage)...is litetree's usage of lmdb comparable to what sqlightning does? How does litetree work with the write-ahead log? How do multiple concurrent connections interact? Are multiple writers allowed? Can readers and writer(s) coexist?
Sigh. Average IQs have significantly increased as pollution has significantly increased. We have objective data on this.

https://ourworldindata.org/intelligence

https://ourworldindata.org/air-pollution

We have decades of data to show this positive correlation. Now I'm wondering how the study measured intelligence and of course who funded this study.

Edit: Seems like a lot of people are misunderstanding my point. I'm not saying air pollution is good. I think air pollution is bad. I'm just pointing out raw objective data which contradicts the study.

Strongly disagree. Reading a book requires patience and comfort with delayed gratification. Not only does it require it; I think it also develops it.

Okay the long story is that CGI (cell tower or maybe antenna/sector) is always available to the public safety operator, roughly 1km radius of accuracy. Higher accuracy locations were mandated by FCC but half the carriers chose to use the less expensive (almost free for them) AGPS, which has its limits like sky view and multipath. There's also some medium priced but inaccurate solutions. That's where we remain: the carriers drag their feet and complain, and the FCC allows them to.
I am glad to read your suggestions, coming from someone with experience. And indeed I have been doing some of this. The teachers at his school are very good. It's other issues that I'm not satisfied with (detailed in my other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17867556). I do teach him a lot. I'm an EE and can write code. So I have had him do a bunch of code.org, robotics projects, maker projects, and we do lots of reading together. He's strong in those areas. Currently do tutoring only in Chinese and music. And yes, he has pretty strict limits on game playing time. So maybe I should stay the course as you suggest, supplementing as needed.
Or maybe take the information as a sign that perhaps caution is warranted in some areas and it might be worthwhile to consider how you might change your behaviors based on the evidence.

I agree that scientific conclusions are sometime editorialized to convey the pressing nature of the findings (the evidence is what it is), but 100% wrong or 100% right I don't think it would do you much harm to reduce the amount of pollution you're exposed to on a daily basis.

I find the unwillingness to accept that general intelligence could be measurable (especially at the macro level) similarly perplexing.
So loading it up on a website and letting kids do their things is not enough? What would be required to learn this by themselves, if a blogpost is not enough? Memorization by repetition, self-improvement cycles, what do you think would be enough that they can learn it by themselves?

This is important. Your $47 consumer hard drive will likely not have that longevity, nor will your home computer 10 years hence likely have the correct interface and drivers to access it.
From what I can tell, there's no voucher system or equivalent that allows the existence of competition between those schools, which is exactly why the private schools would (according to the proposal) be better.
I'm not familiar with M-Disks but I swore off optical media for long term storage around 2004 when the discs in the binder I use to carry around started turning up empty. Several of them were those Kodak Gold Archival CDRs that were supposed to last a decade but were dead inside 3 years.

What sort of an argument is this? You can lose an arm in an accident, does this mean you can also gain an arm?
Took me about a month of near-total use to get back to the point where I felt fluent.

I find it very difficult to switch back and forth, but not impossible. Mostly that just means my secondary layout is pretty error-prone.
(1), (2) and (3) needs to be one once per lifetime. Or even less, if it was published on cargo.io. It is not an issue. And it doesn't seem as over-engineering for me, it would be like 10 lines of library code, with clear purpose. If it was 50 lines of code, with several methods for different cases, and with a lot of corner-cases, then it might be called over-engineering. But 10 lines of straight self-describing code with two line comment about suggested uses is not.

As to derive for each type, I already use `#[derive(Debug)]` for most of my types, to be able to print them with {:?} in format/println!. Though you are right in the sense, that it would be great to make such a method a part of Debug trait. But I personally have never needed it, so maybe complications of Debug trait would be the over-engineering you speak about.

From other hand I do not like variables. Variables are complications of code, and complications like this make it impossible to grasp code on the first sight. There are a lot of cases when you need a variable, and it is not apparent on the first sight which case is it. You need to stop and think. I do not like to think just to find that there was no reason to think. Intelligence is a constrained resource, you need to use it wisely.
The first email I got has instructions "1. Create an infographic" and then to email various blogs. I would struggle with the first step already.
I don't think GoodNotes does that. You would have to use something like Dropbox for that.
MIT allows for the sublicensing to a more restrictive license. I have no idea how this would play out in court, but it looks like this is allowed. Pretty scummy move though for people who don't agree with this maintainers politics, and very concerning for ANY company who does anything that the maintainers could potentially disagree with. I'd avoid this project now, or use an older MIT-only commit.

EDIT: Thought about this on the way into work. The MIT license is only applied to code contributions once the code is "at rest" after merge. Permission is then granted for anyone "obtaining a copy" of the software. The repo maintainers claim that they are obtaining a copy of the software, but it looks like this isn't a copy, it's the original. I wonder if the contributors really do have legal recourse.
From the paper:

> Cutting annual mean concentration of particulate matter smaller than 10 μm (PM10) in China to the Environmental Protection Agency’s standard (50 μg/m3) would move people from the median to the 63rd percentile (verbal test scores) and the 58th percentile (math test scores), respectively.

It seems like HEPA air purifiers should help quite a bit if one spends on a lot of time indoor. At least having one in the bedroom would reduce exposure time by at least one-third, which should be useful.

It also sounds like by investing modestly in air purifiers, most offices in polluted cities could even net productivity gains from healthier employees who suffer less from allergy and congested airways, in addition to long-term maintenance of their cognitive function.
Great point. I used to use C++ a lot on Nintendo video games, government contracting, etc. I always used a subset. Three of my favorite current languages are Haskell, Common Lisp, Scala - and I use small subsets of those languages also. I think it makes sense to look at complex languages filtered by what your needs are and decide on a set of features you really need. For me, this makes my code easier for me to read and modify in the future.
To be fair, I think 'binging' on TV shows started the minute videos became a thing. It wasn't as instant as it is now, but people were marathoning TV box sets from the very first time they were introduced.

And it wasn't exactly exclusive to that either. Oh sure, TV often had a mix of shows which stopped you watching the same thing all day long, but:

1. There were still many, many people who watched TV nearly non stop, as their main form of entertainment every day.

2. Many TV shows ran marathons of a particular series for hours/days/weeks at various points of years.
Slack (don't know if you'd qualify it as social media) has been raining havoc on my attention. For the life of me I can't seem to disable notifications and get constant emails and crap. Every new group you join you gotta go to settings and mess with settings forever. Why can't they just have 1 single button right in the channel that mutes EVERYTHING. Let me check the damn thing.

On the contrary, it's almost a definition of science that we question, challenge, and evolve it all the time.

Our Bill of Rights doesn't say squat about what happens when 51% of the population decide that they want to steal all of your possessions for themselves. If a dispute-resolver (especially a monopolistic one, aka a government) does not purport to protect from even the simple crime of theft, then it is most stupid.
Because the term was coined by Nakamoto to describe the technology behind bitcoin. Decentralization, proof of work and other characteristics of bitcoin are intrinsic to making the system work. Otherwise you have an inefficient database that has no reason to exist.
Correct. To be clear, this is a reversible and temporary response to the air quality.
> no, it's because every function is implemented with a dozen helper function

Which are needed and/or allowed for reuse because the template language is Turing complete. More restrictive type-level languages have better error messages because the compiler either understands what you're intending to do or you're limited in the things you can express, full stop.

Occurrence is an interesting metric. It'd be great to see the pay ranges associated with the number of occurrences. It may be easier to get a React job because there are so many, but if the pay is much lower, then it isn't a good idea to focus on that avenue of attack.
Many of the best careers are ones that have a fairly high degree of specialization and an official and well recognized track for certification.

Grind hard to meet all of the official certification requirements and do your best to immerse yourself in the body of knowledge. Usually this results in a long career full of flexibility and good pay.

Examples:
Actuaries.
Consultants.
Lawyers.
Professional Engineers (Civil, Mechanical, etc).
Auto Mechanics.
Paramedic.

There are tons of them off the beaten path if you look for recognized certifications.

Also look for quality of life not prestige. There are plenty of great "blue collar" positions with good pay and work life balance.
Thank you. I needed that.

Good schools would get better. New schools would get started. The bad schools will die. Maybe yours. It would be a period of great change, but we’d be better off in the end. Any parent can afford to switch schools with a $44k voucher (California’s per child education cost). If education is like any other market without a gov. retaining its monopoly.. we’ll see a net increase in product value. Parents would start shopping for a school like they shop for any other expensive item - like cars or homes: with great care - in a world of choice.
I think the issue here is that the company does one thing and the article is sort of grandstanding about a much larger and worthwhile problem that’s fairly different. As another commenter said, VGS seems to be solving sales and distribution with security baked on top. That’s useful, but it does not at all solve the core problems outlined in the article.

So he (and I) are not rejecting this company because the technology already exists, but because this is not a company capitalizing on that existing technology. We’re pointing out that the company - whatever it does do - does not meaningfully resolve the problems in the article, not that the problems don’t exist. This would be more like someone responding to Drew Houston and saying Dropbox doesn’t in fact work as claimed. That’s not what’s being said here.

I’m pretty sure neither of us are saying there’s no problem and to avoid this exact criticism my top level comment specifically explained why it’s a usability problem. There is a company to be made based on “not new” technology; this isn’t doing that.
yes and no. usually this fixes the quality of the education (although there do exist some that are weak academically), but private schools can still be very toxic places. not even all the rich white kids fit in.
At the ever present risk of being downvoted: should we be able to chemically forgive ourselves for anything/everything?

You have shared two sources of broad, country-level data.

The study tracked localized effects on individuals.

These are not necessarily in contradiction! Though whatever you're inferring with your broad correlation (air pollution has no negative effect on intelligence? air pollution improves intelligence?) is much weaker than the study, which clearly has made attempts to isolate variables.
LOL :))))
Maybe, but I think capital must be the main driver. In an age when attention is scarce, paying for it must have a huge influence.

Thanks. It's still not clear to me how MYCMesh users would be able to reach the internet.

They state in their FAQ they are not an ISP which leaves me to believe they don't buy transit from anyone.

But looking at that peering link there are only 122K prefixes being advertised at DE-CIX NY and NYCMesh only peering with 14 other ASes there.

That would leave large parts of the internet unreachable. Perhaps Hurricane Electric or one their other 14 peers at DE-CIX NY have agreed to be act as transit AS for NYCMesh?
Air pollution and smoking are both very likely to be bad for you.
They work the same way in HTTPS as they do in HTTP. Same origin applies to the domain of asset reference. If you have CSP in place you must specify an exception for GA or it won't work.

If the attacker has MITM capabilities they can redirect the page to an untrusted location and bypass the valid server completely. MITM isn't typically limited to layer 7 unless the goal is to stand in the encrypted tunnel.
